Also known as: the grey monkey and fate on Huanghualiang.

The movie "The Grey Monkey on the Huanghualiang" tells an absurd crime comedy story. Through an "ancient pottery jar" as the introduction, the film leads to a series of various characters: the owner of a small restaurant, an unscrupulous businessman, an old man who understands the righteousness, a greedy villain, a kind and simple girl, and a coquettish girl who worships money. All kinds of characters with different styles and all kinds of troublesome events are skillfully combined with the main line of "Ancient Pot". Director Zhang Pu chooses multi-angle narrative techniques to make the story interlocking, first throwing suspense, and then presenting clues to the audience bit by bit, which is intriguing.
