After refusing Huasheng Pictures' sky-high contract renewal, director Chen Qiao was banned by the entire industry. He teamed up with the hidden screenwriter Song Zhiyu and used all his savings to make a black film that exposed the shady story of capital. Veteran actor Fang Huai played a soulful role for zero pay, top tier Su Tang betrayed the company's secret dubbing, and theater helmsman Zhou Henian rebelled against the film. When this "most ruthless movie" came out, the former blockers begged for an apology, while Chen Qiao just wanted to tear up this cannibalistic rule.
