It depicts a stockbroker in Long Island, New York in the 1980s—Jordan Belfort (played by Leonardo DiCaprio), a young prodigy on Wall Street and a dominant brokerage king who, at just 26 years old, amassed tens of millions of dollars in wealth and was dubbed "The Wolf of Wall Street." In the early 1990s, he was sentenced to 20 months in prison for refusing to cooperate with the police during a large-scale securities fraud case involving Wall Street and major commercial banks with mafia influence. This film tells the true story of how Jordan Belfort rose to success and ultimately ended up in prison.

Based on the memoir of the legendary American stockbroker Jordan Belfort, this book, filled with contradictions, conflicts, and pushing the moral boundaries to the limit, is more like an entertaining novel than a traditional autobiography. Beyond its jaw-dropping methods of making and laundering money, drinking, drug use, prostitution... nothing is missing. Upon its release, it attracted numerous producers competing to bid for film rights, and movie studios fought fiercely for distribution rights, once halting production.
Eventually, the globally acclaimed director Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio successfully secured the film rights. This marks their fifth collaboration, establishing them as a golden Hollywood duo. From "Gangs of New York" (2002), "The Aviator" (2004), "The Departed" (2006) to "Shutter Island" (2010), their four previous films were all critically acclaimed and immensely popular. Their reunion is sure to have fans eagerly anticipating this powerful new Oscar contender.

In the chaos of creation, the war between the gods and demons left the heavens in ruins. The Goddess Nüwa (played by Zhang Zilin) sacrificed herself to become countless multicolored crystals to repair the sky, but one crystal fell to the mortal world on Flower-Fruit Mountain. Absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, the crystal gave birth to a stone monkey. He learned magic from Patriarch Bodhi (Hai Tian) and took the name “Sun Wukong” (Donnie Yen), proclaiming himself the “Great Sage Equal to Heaven” on Flower-Fruit Mountain. Overestimating his own power, he rampaged through the Dragon Palace of the East Sea and broke into the Southern Heavenly Gate—but unexpectedly earned the admiration of the Jade Emperor (Chow Yun-fat), who appointed him as “Bimawen,” the Keeper of the Heavenly Stables.

As Maggie grows up, Valentin is forced to grow up too. Just then, Maggie’s biological mother suddenly reappears, demanding custody.

One bad review from her can send a hotel’s rating plummeting three stars...
Elena has the enviable job of a five-star hotel inspector. From Europe to Africa, Paris to Shanghai, she travels the world and stays in luxury hotels every night. Her job may seem simple—nitpicking—but it involves scrutinizing everything from meal service times and white wine temperatures to carpet cleanliness and even the eye contact of staff. A single mistake can send a hotel’s ranking tumbling. It’s not a job just anyone can do—it demands keen observation and a relentless pursuit of perfection. And Elena? She’s the perfect picture of a perfectionist.
But outside of work, Elena’s life isn’t so flawless. Over 40, unmarried and unattached, her only two close friends are her sister Sylvia—who constantly nags her to get married—and her ex-boyfriend André, with whom she almost got engaged. Sylvia’s unhappy marriage is a constant reminder, while her vague relationship with André is barely even there. No matter what others say, Elena feels perfectly content with her life...
