The anchor Yin Yinghua, played by Ha Jung Woo, is not a positive role. In order to revive his career, he chose to cooperate with terrorists to stage a live news to earn ratings instead of calling the police as soon as he received the news of the explosion. As a result, most of the movie is showing Yin Yinghua’s telephone connection with terrorists in the live broadcast room. The terrorists did not appear in front of the scene until the end of the movie, which also made He Zhengyu’s personal performance show. In the small live broadcast space, Yin Yinghua, who was thinking about how to gradually increase the ratings with the terrorist Zhou Xuan, acted calmly and calmly; Yin Yinghua acted fearful but cautious when he realized that he might be detonated by terrorists to death at any time; he witnessed the police with his own eyes. The director was detonated to death, Yin Yinghua felt horrified, nauseated, and angry; his wife's life was hanging by a thread at the explosion site, Yin Yinghua showed worry and distress; the authorities put the blame on Yin Yinghua in order to save the government's face, and he was angry, angry, and irritable; Yin Yinghua felt helpless, sympathetic and disappointed when he learned the real motive of the terrorist director's bombing attack. All of the above emotional exhibitions and inner activities have been perfectly digested by Ha Zhengyu's outstanding performance skills, presenting a convincing and sincerely admirable role for the audience.
At that time, a migrant worker from Pu Lugui worked to build a bridge for the government. After 30 years of hard work, he still had nothing. The government was constantly collecting taxes from the people. In order to earn more money, he agreed to the high-risk work of repairing the same bridge. Unexpectedly, a number of migrant workers accidentally fell into the raging river one day. In fact, the situation at that time was not particularly dangerous. As long as the rescue team arrived in time, they could be rescued. Then the rescue team delayed the rescue time on the grounds of participating in military exercises, and all the migrant workers drowned. In order to get justice for migrant workers like his father, Pu Rugui’s son planned a terrorist bombing. Starting with the detonation of the bridge, he asked the president to apologize, but he also caused two ordinary children to lose their fathers, many innocents. The masses suffer. As a well-known anchor, Yin Yinghua exposes various political and social scandals on TV, but in reality, he is deeply mired in bribery scandals and even lost the anchor’s job. Yin Yinghua’s boss paid the terrorists to request cooperation in order to achieve the ratings. At the same time, Yin Yinghua angered the criminals, thereby helping the government to restore the positive image, completely disregarding the life and death of the hostages. The government shirks its responsibilities. On the one hand, the president is unwilling to apologize and he does not hesitate to blame the anchor Yin Yinghua in order to divert the public’s attention; on the other hand, a polite police chief appeared in the live broadcast room to plausibly accuse the terrorists of crimes. The embarrassment of accepting bribes was still being investigated a few days ago. The movie presents an almost dark society, where there are no absolute good people nor absolute bad people, some are just disputes over interests, and the absolute supremacy of personal selfish desires. This is a terrifying society, and it is also a realistic society.
