China's first anti-MLM film " Grass and Trees in the World " will be released nationwide on April 3, 2024, unveiling the mystery of pyramid schemes for the audience. This movie is directed by Gu Xiaogang and stars Wu Lei , Jiang Qinqin , Chen Jianbin and other well-known actors. It tells a story about the redemption of mother and son.
The films directed by Gu Xiaogang have always been known for focusing on real life and depicting human nature. This time, he continued his pursuit of realism style in "The World of Grass and Trees", demonstrating his profound understanding of film art. The creative background of the film is particularly special. In order to restore the real scenes and story details, director Gu Xiaogang actually went deep into a real MLM organization to collect materials and spent several months creating it. This is really rare in the film industry.
"The World of Grass and Trees" combines the folk tale of "Mu Lian saves her mother" with the story of redemption in the context of contemporary society, showing the harm of pyramid schemes to society. The son He Mulian is played by Wu Lei. He is a newly graduated college student. After discovering that his mother Wu Taihua (played by Jiang Qinqin) is trapped in a pyramid scheme, he decides to sacrifice his life to save her. In the process of saving her mother, He Mulian not only had to face many obstacles from the MLM organization, but also faced her own inner fear and confusion.
"The World of Plants and Trees" truly reveals the entire brainwashing process of MLM by showing the internal life of MLM organizations. The audience can see how MLM organizations use emotional resonance, group hypnosis and other means to make ordinary people gradually lose themselves and become a link in the MLM chain. This intuitive display not only allows the audience to have a deeper understanding of MLM, but also reminds people to be wary of the dangers of MLM and increase their awareness of fraud prevention.
"The World of Grass and Trees" was released during the Qingming Festival. Audiences generally believed that the film was both deep and warm, and had strong social value.

Wu Lei not only showed the character's external changes, but also vividly interpreted the character's inner struggle and growth.
Wu Lei has a chance to win the Best Actor Award for "The World of Grass and Trees".
