However, there are some similar cases of evil forces in reality. For example, taking Wen Liehong as the prototype, Wen Liehong started by selling aquatic products and contracting projects, accumulated wealth by setting gambling traps, issuing usury and opening casinos, and took officials as his "umbrella". He set up a game to induce others to owe huge gambling debts and let them do things for themselves, which is similar to some behaviors of Li Taiping in the movie.
In addition, Liu Han, for example, has a dual identity of "white" and "black". In the aspect of "white", he is a well-known entrepreneur in Sichuan, with a good public image, and even won the praise of "the first in Sichuan" and has a certain political status; On the other hand, on the "black side", he used black to protect businessmen and black to raise businessmen, and established his own huge "black gold empire", using money to hunt officials and make them his own umbrella, which is similar to Li Taiping's personality characteristics in the film.
This kind of film often shows the characteristics and harm of evil forces in an artistic way through the refinement and integration of many real cases, as well as the necessity and importance of eliminating evil forces. Although there may not be a single prototype of a specific role, it reflects some common characteristics and behavior patterns of evil forces in reality.
