“Gu Yu” focuses on the “tax audit” theme that is rare in film and television works. The story begins with the bizarre case of a financial executive falling from a building in Pengzhou city. It turns out that Tax Bureau Inspector Ouyang Xu, Criminal Police Officer Yan Pingnan, and Printing Factory Employee Zhou Haiyang, who came to find his wife, met because of the case and became needy brothers during the crisis to jointly crack down on fake invoices. However, in that era full of institutional change and the temptation of huge profits, fate pushed three people into completely different watersheds. Driven by profit, Zhou Haiyang fell into the abyss step by step, and after several years became the chairman of a criminal group covering the sky with one hand; While Ouyang Xu remained at the lower level and was promoted to director. When Yan Pingnan discovered something strange and reported it with his real name, his former best friend finally got caught between legal principles and money, and started a life-and-death game.

Sun Yizhou, who is deeply rooted in the comedy “Love Apartment”, is also undergoing a change in acting. He plays a smallholder named Yan Pingnan, who is deeply involved in tax fraud. With his old face and alert and frightened eyes, he perfectly conveys the painful rift between brotherly loyalty and life-saving instincts of low-level people.
