The movie "Gray Monkeys on Huanghualiang" tells a bizarre crime comedy story. The film uses an "ancient pottery jar" as an introduction, which leads to a series of various characters: a wise but foolish restaurant owner, an unscrupulous businessman who forgets his principles when he sees profit, an old man who knows the greater good, a greedy villain, a kind and simple girl, and a money-worshiping young lady. All kinds of characters with different styles and various tricky and troublesome events are cleverly combined with the main line of "ancient pottery jar". Director Zhang Pu chose a multi-angle narrative method to make the plot interlocking, first throwing out the suspense, and then presenting the clues to the audience bit by bit like peeling off silk threads, which is intriguing.
