Hello, everyone. I'm Dennis from Futu.

Hollywood has made a lot of financial movies, all of which I like very much. On the one hand, because of the skillful image technology of the story, it is true that the mind will be affected; on the other hand, the financial subject matter is also related to my profession. From the film, I can not only see the human feelings of the industry. More importantly, the attribute of finance itself is also becoming stronger, very professional.

So in this series, together with my friends, I selected five high-scoring films on financial themes to share with you. The five films are "Wolf of Wall Street", "Wall Street", "Big short", "American Mad Devil" and "Shanghai ultimatum".

These five films are all set on Wall Street. In addition, there are two hidden lines running through all the time.

I. the cycle of economy

From the trough rebound in the wolves of Wall Street to the singing and dancing in the American demons, the crisis broke out in the big short positions and fled in a hurry on the eve of the Shanghai ultimatum. You can vaguely feel the life of Wall Street in different economic cycles.

Second, the change of human nature

It is said that money is the biggest corrosive agent of human nature, so it is very intuitive in these five films. You can see the constant struggle from the bottom, the dark temptation of insider trading, to the huge distortion of human nature caused by leveraged trading, and how can you not let business ethics face a collapse. The entanglement of money and desire inevitably magnifies the crisis to an unmanageable level, which eventually leads to a financial tsunami and a huge disaster around the world.

Through this five-episode series, I will lead you to make an in-depth analysis of the true law of the financial jungle on Wall Street and see through the true meaning of investment.

01

The Wolf of Wall Street

Movie keywords: plum, Wall Street, illegal trading

Interpretation of key words: pink list market, sitting bank, money laundering

Wall Street, the financial center of the world, how many people get rich overnight and how many people have nothing here. Like great magic, it attracts countless people who are obsessed with money and eager to succeed. The Wolf of Wall Street, starring Xiao Li, is a true portrayal of the magic of Wall Street.

The film, released in 2013, is a film in which Xiao Li failed to win the Oscars. In the film, Xiao Li plays the male number one Jordan, climbing step by step at the bottom of Wall Street, living in a luxury house, driving a sports car, living in a luxury house, driving a sports car, having a lovely wife at home, spending endless money and enjoying endless wine. Jordan has all the lives that some people can't imagine for the rest of their lives. And rose to fame on Wall Street, known as the Wolf of Wall Street.

But the world is fair, and you have to pay the price when you get it. By exploiting loopholes in the law and cheating, Jordan got a life full of money. But in the end, he did not escape the end of the incident and ended up in prison.

Ups and downs, the investment knowledge in the film can also benefit us a lot. For example: how does Zuzhuang operate? What kind of ghost is the rat warehouse? How does transnational money laundering operate? I will share this with you one by one in the program.

02

Wall Street

Movie key words: Oscar Business War

Key words: Wall Street Survival Law, Insider Trading

Glass won the award for best actor at the 42nd Academy Award for his superb acting on Wall Street. His famous saying "greed is good" in the film, together with the image of a shrewd Wall Street crocodile in a suit, has become a classic in film history.

In the movie, Gordon attempts to buy Blue Star Airlines maliciously and then break it up and sell it. Bud, a young agent played by Charlie Sheen, originally helped Gordon, but his conscience finally found that he joined forces to defeat Gordon, and finally saved Blue Star Airlines and thousands of workers who were about to be laid off.

In the film, the two protagonists perform a scene, from mixing oil in honey to a commercial war drama that turns enemies into enemies. But their seemingly contradictory behavior, in Dennis's view, is consistent with the survival law of Wall Street's supremacy of interests.

Greed, anger, stupidity and suspicion are the five poisons of the human heart. So is greed good or bad? Let's analyze them one by one in the film.

03

"American demons."

Key words in the movie: Wall Street, dual personality, serial drama

Interpretation of key words: dopamine, human weakness

This movie has a bit of a heavy taste.

Christian. The American Devil, starring Bell, is not only a finance-related theme, but also a horror film.

The film tells the story of a Wall Street proud son with a dual personality. Bell was a normal Wall Street elite during the day, but turned his back on human nature at night.

Bell's heart formed a sharp opposition between day and night. How did such a dual personality come into being? Evil, comparison, corruption, depravity, debauchery and other weaknesses rooted in human nature, how to control? In this issue, I will give you a specific explanation.

04

"big short"

Movie key words: subprime mortgage crisis, real estate crash

Interpretation of key words: credit default swaps, American credit system, long tail strategy

"the Big short" can be said to be the pinnacle of financial films, and it has won the Academy Award for Best adapted Screenplay. Douban scored as high as 8.4, making it a masterpiece in the minds of many people.

The financial crisis in 2008 caused heavy losses to the world economy, and countless people lost all their money. But there are also a small number of discerning investors who make a lot of money by shorting.

The big bears, with four groups of investors shorting subprime mortgages as the protagonists, show these talents who smell the chill in advance, plan the layout in times of fanaticism, strike calmly when landslides fall, and complete the most thrilling war in the history of investment.

In my opinion, these four groups of people in the film were able to make a correct judgment before the crisis and stick to it during the ordeal before the crisis. The methods adopted are extremely classic, and it can be said that these methods can be used for reference by all people engaged in trading.

05

Shanghai ultimatum

Key words in the movie: financial crisis, business war

Interpretation of key words: mall survival rules, business rules and morality

On the eve of the 2008 financial crisis, Goldman Sachs Group became the big winner of the financial crisis by passing on the crisis. Goldman Sachs Group's divine operation can be called a guide to the survival of the financial crisis. The film "Shanghai ultimatum" is based on the Goldman Sachs Group incident.

On the eve of the financial crisis, an investment bank analyst on Wall Street found that the subprime mortgage assets on the company's books were at great risk, and that a devaluation would lead to the bankruptcy of the company.

The top executives of the company met overnight to work out a plan to break the bottom line and sell worthless assets to unwitting peers and customers in an unprofessional manner within one day, and finally resolve the crisis. Although the investment bank dodged a bullet, the act of turning its back on its clients is also the greatest torture of human nature, and has caused a great deal of debate within the company.

Is there any violation of the behavior of the investment bank? How to strike a balance between business rules and morality? In this program, I will give some of my views.
