Welcome back to Movie Recaps. Today聽 I will show you a 2018 comedy film,聽聽
[4]
titled Hello Mr. Billionaire. Spoilers聽 ahead! Watch out and take care.聽
[9]
Duo Yu Wang is a thirty-seven-year-old聽 goalkeeper for minor league soccer team Daxiang,聽聽
[13]
who hasn't had a very successful career. In聽 the past few years, he's bitten an opponent and聽聽
[18]
gotten kicked out of the game for it, played for a聽 female team while pretending to be a woman, worked聽聽
[22]
as a human sushi plate, and even modeled with no聽 clothes for painters. When Mr. Jin calls him to聽聽
[27]
have lunch with him, Duo Yu thinks he's about to聽 be recruited to a more successful team, but it's聽聽
[31]
actually exactly the opposite: Mr. Jin wants to聽 pay him so Duo Yu will lose his next match on聽聽
[35]
purpose, but he turns down the offer, explaining聽 he dislikes fraud and for this, he won't allow聽聽
[40]
the other team to make even one goal. When the day聽 of the match comes however, Duo Yu gets cocky and聽聽
[44]
distracted after catching just one ball, allowing聽 the opposite team to score five goals against him.聽聽
[49]
The other team's players even throw him up in聽 celebration for having lost so easily to them.聽聽
[53]
After being kicked out of the team, a depressed聽 Duo Yu doesn't want to leave his apartment, but聽聽
[57]
his teammate and best friend Qiang Zhuang visits聽 him and drags him out to take him to talk to the聽聽
[61]
coach, promising he'll get his job back. His plan聽 doesn't go well though: the coach has no interest聽聽
[66]
in taking Duo Yu back, and thinks a dog is聽 already a better goalkeeper than he ever was. When聽聽
[70]
Qiang Zhuang threatens to leave if Duo Yu isn't聽 welcome back, the coach laughs and lets him go,聽聽
[74]
considering losing both of them at the same time a聽 great thing for the team. On their way back home,聽聽
[79]
when stopping the car at a red light, a traffic聽 racketeer pretends to have been hit by them.聽聽
[83]
Since he refuses to admit he's acting, Duo Yu and聽 Qiang Zhuang grab him, bump him against the car a聽聽
[88]
couple of times and even use his body to clean the聽 car window. A young woman Xia Zhu suddenly sees聽聽
[93]
them and calls them bullies, recording everything聽 with her phone and calling over more people聽聽
[96]
to be witnesses, not believing the racketeer聽 explanation since she caught them with their聽聽
[100]
hands in the cookie jar. This lands both of them聽 in jail. The one to pay for their bail is Mr. Jin,聽聽
[105]
who tells Duo Yu he isn't actually involved in the聽 soccer business and their meeting the other day聽聽
[109]
had only been a test. He takes them to his office聽 and, after telling Qiang Zhuang to wait outside,聽聽
[114]
he introduces Duo Yu to Mr. Yin and Mr. Lai of聽 Guang Ming Trust Fund. The three men explain聽聽
[119]
to Duo Yu that his grandfather had a brother聽 that fell out with his family and lost contact,聽聽
[123]
causing everyone to think he was dead, but聽 actually, he only passed away last month.聽聽
[127]
Duo Yu is the sole heir to his fortune, but to be聽 able to receive the money, he has to pass a test,聽聽
[132]
which his second grandfather explains聽 through a video he recorded before dying.聽聽
[135]
Duo Yu must spend two billion yuan in one聽 month, and if he's successful, he'll receive聽聽
[139]
the rest of his second grandfather's money: thirty聽 billion yuan. There are some conditions though:聽聽
[144]
the money must be spent legally, he can't聽 have any assets left at the end of the month,聽聽
[148]
he can't get gifts or give money to聽 charity, all money must be spent on himself,聽聽
[152]
he can hire up to one hundred people but聽 he must accept the service they provide,聽聽
[155]
he can't destroy any valuable stuff he could聽 buy, he can't bid up to excess the prices of the聽聽
[159]
market, and he can't tell anyone of this game.聽 In case his grandson can't take the challenge,聽聽
[164]
the old man has added a coward clause: Duo Yu聽 has the option to take ten million yuan and聽聽
[168]
leave as if nothing happened, which means the聽 fortune would stay in the trust fund for Mr.聽聽
[171]
Yin and Mr. Lai to use, or accept the challenge,聽 which could leave him with nothing if he loses.聽聽
[176]
Duo Yu takes the challenge, so Mr. Jin informs him聽 he'll be monitoring him for the following month to聽聽
[181]
make sure he follows the rules and assigns one of聽 his company accountants to him to keep track of聽聽
[184]
his expenses. This accountant turns out to be Xia聽 Zhu, who doesn't want to work for him after what聽聽
[189]
she saw on the street, but Duo Yu decides to hire聽 her anyway as revenge for sending him to jail.聽聽
[194]
Afterward, Duo Yu takes Qiang Zhuang with him and聽 together they go to the vault to see the money,聽聽
[198]
almost passing out when they see so many bills聽 together in one room. On their way out of the bank聽聽
[202]
with bags full of money, Duo Yu already starts聽 spending it by hiring all the guards working聽聽
[206]
there by promising them excessive salaries.聽 After renting some cars as well, Duo Yu goes聽聽
[211]
to see his old soccer team and informs them he'll聽 be renting them and a team from the major league,聽聽
[215]
the Hengtai, to play against them in the future聽 after he's done repairing the whole stadium.聽聽
[219]
The team doesn't believe he's rich now聽 and laughs at him, so to make his point,聽聽
[223]
Duo Yu makes an excavator come over and drop a聽 bunch of money in the middle of the soccer field.聽聽
[227]
The whole team joins Duo Yu in his cars, although聽 when they take the road, he travels alone with Xia聽聽
[231]
Zhu to try to hit on her, but she informs him she聽 already has a boyfriend, an orator and educator聽聽
[236]
that talks about spreading positive energy and聽 doesn't care much about money. Shortly afterward,聽聽
[240]
they make it to a very fancy hotel that requires聽 membership, but Duo Yu simply talks to the manager聽聽
[245]
and offers him extra money to allow them to rent聽 the entire hotel for the whole month, and seeing聽聽
[249]
the insane amount of money he offers, the manager聽 accepts before taking them to the dining room for聽聽
[253]
a celebratory banquet. All this falls under the聽 rules, since Duo Yu is allowed to buy things聽聽
[258]
for his employees and he's renting the team now.聽 During dinner, Duo Yu announces he'll be opening聽聽
[262]
a new investment company and the CEO will be聽 Qiang Zhuang, who is very touched by the gesture聽聽
[267]
because he doesn't know Duo Yu chose someone who聽 isn't smart on purpose so he can lose him money.聽聽
[271]
From then on, Duo Yu starts spending as much聽 money as possible, from a one million dollar聽聽
[275]
haircut to renting clothes, furniture, and cars,聽 which confuses Xia Zhu because it would be cheaper聽聽
[280]
to buy these things. She points out that at this聽 rate, he'll lose it all in half a year, which is聽聽
[285]
too fast for her taste but too slow for his, but聽 he cannot tell her this. At that moment, Xia Zhu's聽聽
[290]
boyfriend Jiannan Liu arrives to take her with him聽 to his lecture about not being slaves of money.聽聽
[294]
After turning down the offer of a drink,聽 Jiannan tells Duo Yu about his lecture,聽聽
[298]
which sadly hasn't sold any tickets. Duo Yu聽 grabs some money from his safe and buys them聽聽
[302]
all for his team, instantly making Jiannan drop聽 his anti-capitalism stance. He accepts the drink聽聽
[307]
even if he usually doesn't have alcohol and offers聽 his services as a gardener, which Duo Yu accepts.聽聽
[312]
Disappointed by seeing he isn't the man she聽 thought he was, Xia Zhu breaks up with him.聽聽
[316]
Sometime later, Duo Yu has his first meeting with聽 his new investment company and orders them to聽聽
[321]
invest in a bunch of sunset industries that could聽 be shut down any minute now. Right after that,聽聽
[325]
a crazy man tries to get funds for his weird聽 invention: a machine that lets you swim on land.聽聽
[330]
Duo Yu gives him money as well before asking聽 if anyone else had a dream, so he can fund聽聽
[334]
them all no matter how ridiculous they are. The聽 following day, while Duo Yu is having a massage,聽聽
[339]
the masseuse Shasha tries to sleep with him and聽 doesn't take no for an answer. As she corners him聽聽
[343]
against a statue, Xia Zhu arrives to remind Duo聽 Yu of their next meeting, saving him just in time.聽聽
[349]
They join Mr. Yin and Mr. Lai on the golf field,聽 which his team will be using to train, and Duo Yu聽聽
[353]
sees Shasha there with them, discovering she had聽 been hired by Yin and Lai to spy on him and get聽聽
[357]
him to lose the challenge. Duo Yu invites the two聽 men to lunch, but since the rules say he can only聽聽
[362]
treat his employees and any other expenses would聽 come out of his own pockets, he serves Yin and Lin聽聽
[367]
instant ramen. One of them quotes some philosophy聽 told by the famous businessman Mr. Lafitte,聽聽
[371]
so Duo Yu decides to pay an insane amount of money聽 to bring him to China and have lunch with him.聽聽
[376]
With Xia Zhu as interpreter between them, Duo聽 Yu asks Lafitte to tell him about the worsts聽聽
[380]
investments he's ever had because he wants to聽 have classes on business failures. Lafitte finds聽聽
[384]
this request very insulting, because he only聽 teaches people to succeed, and leaves without聽聽
[388]
even trying the food. Xia Zhu gets angry with Duo聽 Yu for having been so rude and leaves as well,聽聽
[393]
but he follows her with his car while hearing her聽 talk about how she's considered the black widow of聽聽
[397]
the investment world because every company she's聽 worked for went bankrupt, a fact she doesn't聽聽
[401]
include in her resume and thinks will get her聽 fired. Duo Yu considers it a good thing though,聽聽
[405]
and says that while the other companies may call聽 her a black widow, for him, she's his company's聽聽
[408]
mascot. Duo Yu continues to spend money in crazy聽 ways, having a servant for every single little聽聽
[413]
part of his daily routine. His mood falls聽 however, when he hears all the investments聽聽
[418]
he chose badly on purpose have actually been聽 successful and are giving him even more money.聽聽
[422]
After sending his employees away, Duo Yu throws聽 a tantrum in the meeting room, cursing his luck.聽聽
[427]
Yin and Lai see this news on tv and laugh at聽 how badly Duo Yu is doing with the challenge.聽聽
[431]
After having a nightmare about burning the money聽 and meeting his second grandfather, Duo Yu is聽聽
[435]
woken up by Qiang Zhuang, who wants to introduce聽 him to an old friend of his to see if there's room聽聽
[439]
for him in the team. As soon as Duo Yu sees the聽 man with a bad eye and a cheap choice of clothes,聽聽
[443]
he hires him on the spot. Feeling very grateful,聽 Qiang Zhuang promises they'll work hard and maybe聽聽
[448]
one day they can celebrate with fireworks, giving聽 Duo Yu an idea. Meanwhile, Xia Zhu is spending her聽聽
[454]
birthday alone in her apartment with a little cake聽 she got for herself until Jiannan shows up out of聽聽
[458]
nowhere. After giving her flowers, he takes her聽 cake and starts eating it without even asking for聽聽
[462]
permission while telling Xia Zhu he has an idea聽 for a book in mind and he'd appreciate her asking聽聽
[466]
Duo Yu for funds. Xia Zhu's reply is smashing聽 the cake on his face before kicking him out and聽聽
[471]
going to see Duo Yu for some business matters. He聽 doesn't let her talk about work tonight though,聽聽
[475]
he just shows her the surprise he's prepared聽 for her: thousands of fireworks illuminating the聽聽
[479]
sky all over the city. When Xia Zhu mentions her聽 birthday, Duo Yu pretends this is her present when聽聽
[484]
he actually had no idea of the date. While she is聽 quite touched by the gesture, she still tells him聽聽
[489]
they can't date because they're from different聽 worlds, and she'll only see him as an uncle or聽聽
[492]
brother. Sometime later, Xia Zhu discovers there聽 are posters with her face all over the city that聽聽
[497]
Duo Yu has put up to convince her to give him a聽 chance. There also are ads on tv and the radio聽聽
[502]
asking for the same thing. This puts the attention聽 of the public on her, who follow her around to聽聽
[507]
take selfies with her. She calls Duo Yu to take聽 care of the problem but he just invites her to聽聽
[511]
a concert instead of listening, so Xia Zhu hangs聽 up on him and takes a taxi while hiding her face.聽聽
[516]
When the driver stops the car at the red light,聽 the same traffic racketeer from the other day聽聽
[520]
shows up and pretends to be hurt again, making Xia聽 Zhu realize Duo Yu hadn't been lying after all.聽聽
[525]
Seeing him with new eyes, she arrives at the hotel聽 and accepts Duo Yu's concert invitation, saying聽聽
[529]
she'd like to know him better. The concert turns聽 out to be a private affair in the hotel with her聽聽
[534]
favorite singer. After dancing and taking pictures聽 with him, Duo Yu takes Xia Zhu out for dinner,聽聽
[538]
then they play soccer with some kids at the park聽 and have a lovely walk together by the river.聽聽
[543]
Meanwhile, Yin and Lai call Jiannan and hire聽 him to help them make Duo Yu lose the challenge.聽聽
[547]
Speaking of Duo Yu, he falls under more stress聽 when he sees his soccer team partying instead聽聽
[551]
of training and Qiang Zhuang informs him聽 the company has made another billion.聽聽
[555]
After punching his friend, Duo Yu throws聽 himself into the swimming pool to calm his聽聽
[558]
nerves and while remembering everything聽 he's learned so far, he gets an idea.聽聽
[562]
After getting Mr. Jin's approval, he makes a聽 special presentation at the mall announcing聽聽
[566]
his new project: a fat insurance program. You聽 only pay one yuan for it, and the company will聽聽
[571]
pay you back for every gram you may lose. The聽 program is a success, which drives Yin and Lai聽聽
[576]
crazy but they can't do anything about it because聽 as Jin explains, insurance is a legal business聽聽
[580]
and what Duo Yu came up with is technically not聽 charity. A huge amount of people sign up and start聽聽
[585]
exercising all over the city, sometimes under聽 the guidance of Duo Yu himself. Gyms are crowded,聽聽
[590]
and people begin to use alternatives like normal聽 stairs and even the land-swimming machines.聽聽
[594]
This project earns Duo Yu an award as humanitarian聽 of the year, and when he goes up to the stage to聽聽
[598]
receive it, he tries to explain he's not doing聽 this to help people but because of business聽聽
[602]
reasons, but nobody takes him seriously. When聽 the day of the soccer match finally comes, the聽聽
[607]
players of the Hengtai team promise they'll break聽 a record and make a two-digit number of goals.聽聽
[611]
Most of the stadium is cheering for them,聽 while Daxiang only has a small section of聽聽
[615]
fans among the crowd, but they still manage to聽 make a big entrance by arriving in helicopters.聽聽
[619]
As soon as the match begins, Qiang Zhuang pretends聽 to be hurt so the most important Hengtai player聽聽
[624]
gets red-carded, giving them an advantage of聽 one extra player. Sadly this isn't enough,聽聽
[628]
and during the first half, Hengtai scores eight聽 goals while Daxiang makes zero. Duo Yu thinks they聽聽
[633]
should at least stop them from scoring two digits聽 to keep some dignity, so during the second half,聽聽
[637]
they try some ridiculous tactics like forming聽 a circle of players around the opponent.聽聽
[641]
This is still not enough to stop them from making聽 the ninth goal, so the Daxiang goes for their last聽聽
[646]
and most desperate strategy: putting all players聽 in front of their goal to stop any incoming balls,聽聽
[650]
even if they have to use their faces or groins聽 to achieve it. Meanwhile, in the audience,聽聽
[654]
Xia Zhu finds Jiannan and tells him his payments聽 have been missing on the paperwork, which he has聽聽
[658]
been doing on purpose to make it seem like Duo Yu聽 is spending less than he is. Tired of hearing her聽聽
[663]
defend him, Jiannan finally tells her the truth聽 about the game, claims Duo Yu is just using her,聽聽
[667]
and tries to win her back, but Xia Zhu hits聽 him with her purse and leaves the stadium,聽聽
[671]
intending to tell Mr. Jin about all this. Jiannan聽 chases after her, following her into some shady聽聽
[676]
parts of the neighborhood. Back to the match,聽 the Daxiang team is defending the goal to the聽聽
[680]
point of bruises and bleeding. This determination聽 earns the sympathy of the audience, who starts聽聽
[685]
cheering for them, and even their coach tries to聽 join the match when they run out of substitutes,聽聽
[689]
but he slips on a water bottle and is out聽 of the game before he can even do anything.聽聽
[692]
Thankfully, having each other and their memories聽 as a team together with the public's support is聽聽
[696]
enough for them to hang on until the end聽 and not let a single goal more happen.聽聽
[700]
When the referee ends the game at zero-nine, the聽 whole stadium celebrates as if Daxiang had won,聽聽
[704]
because stopping such an important team from聽 reaching two digits feels like a victory.聽聽
[708]
In the middle of the celebration, Duo Yu gets聽 a call from Xia Zhu's phone, but there's a聽聽
[712]
mysterious voice on the other end of the line聽 telling him he's kidnapped his girlfriend,聽聽
[716]
sending a picture to prove it. Duo Yu thinks this聽 is another plan by Yin and Lai so he hires some聽聽
[720]
criminals to make them confess, but they only聽 admit to having hired Jiannan to fake the bills,聽聽
[724]
nothing else. Duo Yu gets another call from the聽 kidnapper then, showing him how he's pushing聽聽
[729]
Jiannan off the edge of a building and threatening聽 to do the same to Xia Zhu if he doesn't pay ten聽聽
[733]
million before six o'clock. Duo Yu now is in聽 a difficult situation, because if he pays to聽聽
[738]
save Xia Zhu, he'd be breaking the rules of the聽 game and lose his second grandfather's fortune.聽聽
[742]
What he doesn't know is that this isn't real, it's聽 the third and final test his grandfather left him:聽聽
[747]
he has to prove he cares more about聽 a human life than money - if he does,聽聽
[750]
then he wins the challenge. Jiannan and Xia Zhu聽 are fine, and the kidnapper is just Mr. Jin,聽聽
[755]
who believes in Duo Yu and is sure he will聽 come through. As the hours pass however,聽聽
[759]
Duo Yu spends them drinking and singing at聽 the karaoke and doesn't show up in time.聽聽
[763]
At six o'clock, Mr. Jin and Xia Zhu get聽 ready to leave, feeling rather disappointed,聽聽
[768]
but when they're about to take the stairs,聽 they find Duo Yu crying with his bags of money,聽聽
[772]
ready to exchange them for Xia Zhu's life. Mr. Jin聽 congratulates him on passing the test and plays聽聽
[776]
the last message the grandfather left for Duo Yu,聽 making him wonder how come he never got married聽聽
[781]
or had kids when he was so rich. Mr. Jin reveals聽 then he was the grandfather's significant other.聽聽
[786]
Many months later, Duo Yu and a very pregnant Xia聽 Zhu come back from traveling around the world. Now聽聽
[791]
they've enjoyed themselves enough, they're ready聽 to donate all their money, but they interrupt聽聽
[795]
their paperwork process when they realize they聽 need to keep at least some for their future baby.聽聽
[799]
The couple starts making a list of things聽 they need, and while it starts pretty basic,聽聽
[803]
it becomes filled with enough extravagant things聽 that will end up with them donating nothing.
