One day, the private detective Fletcher found Raymond and said that he knew all the details of Raymond’s boss Mickey , and now he is going to sell this information to the newspaper for £150,000.
But the good news is that today is the Double Eleven event, Raymond and Mickey only need to pay him 20 million pounds as a hush fee, and he will not sell the information to the newspaper.
It's more expensive than usual when doing activities, there is nothing wrong with it.
Next, Fletcher told Raymond the information he had investigated in the form of a movie script.
Mickey built a drug empire from scratch, planting 50 tons of marijuana every year.
Matthew wanted to buy Mickey's property. Mickey took Matthew to see his farm (marijuana base) and offered a price of 400 million.
Mickey said that 400 million is not much, because once marijuana is legal in the UK, Matthew can get 200 to 500 billion fortunes every year.
The gangsters also found Mickey with dry eyes and wanted to buy Mickey's farm, but Mickey refused.
At this time, Mickey’s No. 2 farm was destroyed by the "Tik Tok Gang", a mysterious sect of Jianghu. The Douyin Gang robbed the farm and made a video of ghost animals and sent it to Douyin.
Sing, jump, rap, basketball, are you Cai Xukun?
Mickey was forced to close No. 2 Farm in order to prevent Douyin from coming back to find faults, which made him lose a lot of money.
And began to investigate who robbed him, and how to know the location of No. 2 Farm.
During this period, Mickey was entrusted to help find his missing daughter. Raymond's subordinate in charge of this accident accidentally pushed a man named Aslan downstairs and fell to his death.
It turned out that the Douyin gang was carrying the boss " coach" to rob Mickey. After learning about this, the coach knew that he could not provoke Mickey.
Raymond and coaches found a man named Fack people to reveal the location of Mickey's farm to help the vibrato.
Fuck is a subordinate of Dry Eye, and Dry Eye must listen to Lord George , so Mickey thinks that George is behind the scenes.
Mickey repaired George, but George was innocent, and there was someone else behind the scenes.
George went to teach the dry eye, but the dry eye had swelled and killed George directly.
It turns out that Matthew is the real man behind the scenes.
Matthew negotiated with Dry Eye that if Dry Eye can lower the price of Mickey's farm, Matthew will make Dry Eye the second in command after purchasing the farm.
So Xianyan went to find Mickey and pretended to buy his farm, and revealed the location of Mickey's farm to Douyin Gang, thus borrowing a knife to kill.
Matthew's wishful thinking is good. He uses his dry eyes to lower the price of Mickey's farm without taking any risks.
As for his promise to let dry eyes be the second in command, it is not certain whether dry eyes will survive that time, properly empty glove white wolf. The fact is true, Dry Eye did not live to the day when Matthew acquired Mickey.
Dry eyes are not stupid, he knows that Matthew has been using him, he is unwilling to be used all the time, so he no longer obeys dry eyes.
He finds Mickey's wife Rosalyn and wants to use Rosalyn to threaten Mickey, but Mitch kills him .
If he listens to Matthew dryly, he is just a pawn of Matthew; if he does not listen to Matthew, he will die faster. So not everyone can become Mickey, and those who can stand the test of time can have the last laugh.
Fletcher finished his script and prepared to sell it to Raymond and Mickey for 20 million pounds.
What script is so expensive, do you think you are Nolan?
Fletcher did not ask Raymond to agree immediately, but gave him three days to think about it.
The coach kidnapped Dave , the editor-in-chief of the newspaper , and did the first episode of the first season of "Black Mirror" to him to warn him that he would not dare to publish Mickey's news.
Matthew found Mickey and said that so many things had happened to Mickey's farm recently, it was no longer worth 400 million, and he only gave 130 million.
Fletcher wanted to blackmail Raymond and Mickey, but they used it instead.
Raymond installed a tracker in Fletcher's shoes and obtained Fletcher's intelligence, including videos of Matthew and the dry eye conspiracy.
Mickey showed the video to Matthew and asked Matthew to pay him 270 million yuan and cut a piece of meat or kill him.
Douyin helped feel that the coach was too timid, and they decided to kill Mickey in spite of the coach's opposition.
On the other side, Fletcher also kept a hand.
He not only blackmailed Raymond and Mickey, but also sold the information that Mickey's subordinates killed Aslan to Aslan's father, Aslan , a Russian tycoon.
The old Aslan sent someone to kidnap Mickey, and happened to meet the Douyin gang who wanted to kill Mickey.
As a result, Douyin helped kill old Aslan's people and rescued Mickey by accident.
Fletcher hadn't given up his heart yet, and wanted to sell the script to the fourth person after Dave, Raymond, and Old Aslan, but Raymond caught him.
"Gentlemen" is essentially the route of "Two Smoking Guns" and "Stealing", but it also has certain innovations.
For example, Fletcher tells Raymond what he knows by telling the script, and at the same time tells the audience.
"Gentlemen" has two main timelines, one is the current timeline, and the other is the past timeline, which is Fletcher's script.
There are even more character lines, Mickey, Raymond, Fletcher, Matthew, Dry Eye, Coach, Douyin Gang, Old Aslan, Dave... Everyone has their story, and they often interact with others. People intersect and form a crisscross network.
Fletcher thought he was in the perspective of God, and he knew every detail clearly. In fact, he also had blind spots.
He only knew that he was investigating Mickey, but he didn't know that Raymond knew he was investigating Mickey.
Conversely, Raymond had known that he was investigating Mickey, but he didn't know that Fletcher had also told old Aslan the intelligence.
Everyone in the movie thinks that they know everything, but in fact, everyone can only see part of the whole event.
This kind of one-leaf obstruction is a bad thing in most cases. It will make people swell and be conceited, and then do things that he cannot bear the consequences.
But occasionally it can be a good thing, such as Douyin fought against old Aslan, allowing Mickey to survive.
Mistakes, mischief, lack of plans to keep up with changes, and guessing at the beginning and not being able to guess the ending are a major feature of Guy Ritchie's movies.
For example, Fletcher blackmailed Raymond and Mickey, but was used by them, so that Mickey got the real hammer from Matthew.
Matthew used dry eyes to lower the price of Mickey's farm, but in the later stage dry eyes didn't listen to him and declared to go it alone.
Matthew only knew that he was using dry eyes, but he didn't know that two people were using each other. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
Destroying Mickey's business is not bad for dry eye, so dry eye will do it.
But after doing these things, he also had to beware of Matthew's grief and killing the donkey, so he didn't foolishly obey Matthew.
There is nothing wrong with him not listening to Matthew or George. He was so arrogant that he thought he could compete with Mickey and was killed by Mickey.
The smarter way is to not blatantly defy Matthew and George, nor blatantly confront Mickey, but to wait and see what happens. When the two tigers are fighting, they will cut a knife from the back and make a fortune in a muffled voice.
Now that Mickey and Matthew haven't gotten into a fight, you rush to the front. Isn't this looking for death?
The coach took the initiative to help Mickey clean up the mess; the old Aslan wanted to retaliate against Mickey and was solved by Douyin; and Fletcher "actively" sent intelligence to the door... All good things were met by Mickey.
Everyone tried to get a share of the pie, but the result was often backlash;
Mickey didn't do anything but had the last laugh.
It doesn't follow the routine and makes no sense at all. This is Guy Ritchie's dark humor.
Matthew was very insidious and wanted to play insidious tricks, but he was caught upright.
The dry eyes are brave and insidious, and the guns are shot out and become cannon fodder.
Fletcher is a little clever, but not smart enough. He wanted to use others, but he was used instead.
Before we see the ending, we may think that Matthew, Dry Eyes, Fletcher have scheming, have a city, understand the law of the jungle, and are more suitable for survival;
And Mickey is not as energetic as a young man, he is more ethical and will not take the initiative to choose things, it seems that he is more likely to be eliminated.
But the result is quite the opposite.
We can't guess a person's final ending based on his personality and characteristics. This is where Guy Ritchie's movie is anti-routine.
Everyone in the movie has their own ghosts, and they all have their wishful thinking, but they are all like Fletcher, thinking that they are in control of the overall situation, but in fact they are blind and do not see Tarzan.
They all thought they were the smartest, but in fact they only saw what was within their line of sight, not what was in the blind spot.
They deceive and deceive me, you fight and I fight, but become Mickey.
Luck is a big part of Mickey's last laugh.
Some coaches took the initiative to help clean up the mess, and Douyin "helped" him to kill old Aslan's people.
Escape in the hands of the Douyin Gang and Old Aslan is also a halo of the protagonist, and the Douyin Gang does not know whether to check whether he is dead or alive.
Including the use of Fletcher is also Raymond's idea. It is Raymond's cleverness, which does not mean that Mickey is clever.
He wanted to investigate who did the destruction of Farm No. 2, but he also found the innocent George.
Mickey is a good old man, he is very moral, people don't offend me, I don't offend others, and I won't do too much until I have to force them.
At first glance, he is not the smartest of all, nor the most cruel, as if he does not possess the qualities of the biggest winner.
Of course, you can say that Matthew's scheming is too deep, and he is afraid of being unloaded and killing the donkey, so he decided to go it alone.
Mickey speaks of justice, so his subordinate Raymond will not betray him, this is the reason for his success.
But George also talked about justice, so dry eyes still betrayed him. The coach also talks about the justice of the world, the Douyin Gang still wants to defy him.
So we can't get the conclusion that "Mickey talks about justice, so we have the last laugh".
It's not okay to talk about justice (George, coach), nor to follow the rules (Matthew). You can't rush forward regardless of everything (dry eyes), nor can you play with cleverness (Fletcher).
So again, not everyone can become Mickey.
Success requires the right time and place. Even if you do everything Mickey does, you can't be the second one. Replacing Mickey with Bill Gates, Jobs, and Jack Ma are also established.
Guy Ritchie seems to be unreasonable in making movies, but there is some truth to it.
The truth is that gangsters put their heads on their waistbands every day, which is dangerous at any time, and you may die no matter what you do.
Life is the same, maybe the same thing, he got rich/promoted/successful when he did it, but you did not get rich/promoted/successful, you can’t get a general rule, and you can’t learn from it. The methods of others.
Life is unreasonable, there is no secret to success, and there are no rules at all.
In 2017, Amy Hammer revealed that "Secret Agent 2" had begun to write the script, but so far there has been no substantial progress.
A poster for "Secret Agents" appeared in "Gentlemen". Fletcher also said "You need a sequel". Does this imply that both "Gentlemen" and "Secret Agents" will have a sequel?
