Whistleblower: Protecting Humanity in the Dark
"Whistleblower" is literally translated from the English Whistleblower. It originally referred to a person who blows a whistle.
In the 19th century, when a crime occurred, the police would blow the whistle to alert their colleagues or the public to stop the crime;
Gradually, the meaning of "whistleblower" was extended to "whistleblower, exposer" , and became an internationally recognized consensus.
"Whistleblowing" is a dangerous thing. After exposing illegal activities and illegal individuals within the organization, the whistleblower will often pay the price because he has touched some dark interests.
This is a group of "heroes in the dark" , sacrificing themselves and silently safeguarding social fairness and justice.
The conflict between "public morality" and "self-interest" has always been favored by the big screen. Many cool films that are regarded as classics explore this theme:
For example, it depicts the "" The famous film "All the President's Men" ;

When the lives of ordinary people are involved in an unfathomable huge conspiracy, and the life trajectories of themselves and those around them are changed, how will they face it and how will they make choices? The
movie "The Whistleblower" is just like these movies, peeling off the surface layer by layer, taking you into the deepest part of human nature, challenging your boundaries with one reversal after another, and shocking you.
New propositions triggered by real transnational cases

Australian company In the life of Chinese employee Ma Ke (played by Lei Jiayin), a mysterious woman Zhou Wen (played by Tang Wei) began to appear frequently.
Fierce street chases, successive car accidents and explosions, heart-pounding gun battles and escapes...
Zhou Wen turned Ma Ke's peaceful life upside down, but it also gave him an opportunity to truly face himself.
The movie gives clues and foreshadowing bit by bit;
all you need to do is follow the rhythm of the movie and put the clue pieces together like a puzzle.
Gradually, an unsolved case spanning three continents, Australia, Asia and Africa, and a shocking conspiracy involving the lives of millions of people will slowly unfold before your eyes.
Director Xue Xiaolu said:
The story of "The Whistleblower" originated from a news report about an Australian Chinese employee who was suspected of transnational bribery and was eventually arrested in China.
After I saw this case, I began to understand the content of the Foreign Bribery Act. In the process, I discovered that the truth involving highly confidential matters could be exposed because a whistleblower appeared within the company.
So I combined the two concepts of overseas bribery and whistleblower, and the script of "Whistleblower" was created.
Until the last moment of the film, you will not know who is the good guy, who is the villain, or what the truth of the matter is - this is the greatest satisfaction that suspense themes bring to movie fans.

A real down-to-earth person, so "warm" that he is even a bit cowardly;
A mysterious temperament exudes from the whole body;
The two of them The relationship is complicated and confusing, but entangled constantly.
She is a powerful female executive of a Chinese company;
She is a former lover who is worried but reluctant to talk;
She is also a dangerous person who triggers a shocking crisis;
Is she a friend or foe? An angel or a devil?
"I really want to believe you, but I can't see you clearly." Ma Ke lamented when facing Zhou Wen, a mysterious woman.
Since reuniting with the "goddess that cannot be chased in life", Ma Ke, a "little man" who is now a husband and father, has had his peaceful life completely disrupted and been dragged into a deadly whirlpool.
Lei Jiayin said:
When a man faces the dilemma of family, love, justice and injustice, how does he break through the dilemma and solve the dilemma... I am particularly interested in this, so I took the movie.
In the movie poster and trailer, the two people locked lips, but their inner anxiety and entanglement were clearly visible in their eyes.
What kind of chemical reaction will this pair create in a suspenseful plot full of dangers?
