Plot:
"The Chorus" is directed by French director Christophe Barati and starred by César Award-winning actor Arthur Dupont. The film is adapted from a real event, the "50 billion euro trading scandal" that shocked the world nine years ago. It describes how in 2008, 31-year-old Paris trader Jehon Covier conducted financial transactions without authorization, involving an investment amount of 50 billion euros, which almost led to the bankruptcy of Société Générale and triggered a global financial crash. How did Covier, known as the "devil trader", secretly conduct 50 billion euros in transactions? Because the amount was too large, people suspected that there was something fishy going on. Not only was there a lot of international discussion, but it also became a vocational training material for financial institutions. Thanks to the popularity of the case, the copyright of "The Paris Trader" was sold like wildfire in various countries. Not only was the film nominated for the Best Film at the Istanbul Golden Orange Awards, but director Barati was also praised by the Hollywood Reporter for "digging out the entertainment value of the incident." The story tells that Jehon is from Brittany. He was lucky enough to get a job at Societe Generale and became a trader in Paris after being appreciated by his supervisors and peers. His life was like a leap from a dragon gate, and his horizons were broadened. The money he earned from stock futures trading far exceeded that of his father's dozens of hard-working lives. Jehon's father was a boiler worker and his mother was a hairdresser. With a master's degree in finance, he seemed to have magic fingers and could always help the bank make amazing profits, but he also gradually became addicted to money games. Jehon's every investment was as if he was assisted by God. With the tacit approval of the bank, he became more and more bold and launched the craziest transactions. Not only did the amount of transactions gradually exceed the authority, but the investment amount also exceeded the bank's equity, leading to an unmanageable situation, causing the Nasdaq and Dow Jones EU indexes to collapse and plummet, and the bank was on the verge of collapse. The bank angrily sued Jehon, making him face a sky-high claim of 4.9 billion euros! How could this "devil trader" conceal his true intentions and secretly invest 50 billion euros? He insisted that he did not embezzle a dime, but where did the huge amount of money that disappeared out of thin air go? A money game about human nature and desire begins.
