Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ge You, China's beloved 'everyman' actor, reportedly took this role specifically because the suicidal millionaire subverted his usual lovable loser type.
The title references a classic Chinese children's song about two tigers—one missing ears, one missing tail—mirroring the two incomplete men who find each other. The film bombed domestically partly because audiences expected pure Lunar New Year comedy.
