Coming to Theatres November 1st:
North End Commodity Traders
A Titanic Hit based upon the two thumbs up epic Green Street Hooligans. The film begins when university student Fang Zu Wie is expelled from the University of Beijing after authorities found illegal meteorology literature and fried rice in his dorm room, the latter of which turns out to be his roomates. In compensation for taking the fall for his roomate, Fang Zu receives 5000 Yen and proceeds to fly to New York to visit his sister, Wang Zu.
While in New York, Fang Zu meets his brother-in-law, Danny, who is a New York Port Authority Officer. Just hours after meeting him, Fang Zu meets Danny's brother, Willy, who is a commodity trader on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Willy has been known to be quite the eccentric trader, often dragging barrels of oil he purchased for a loss on a futures contract into the NYMEX and dumping it on the floor. Apart from other enemies, Willy hates meteorologists whom he states to be, "lying, inaccurate scum." He has apprently lost thousands of dollars due to bad forecasts.
Fang Zu and Willy become great friends, with the latter introducing the former to the NYMEX trading floor and the commodities business. What the commodity trader doesn't know at first is that Fang Zu studied meteorology at the University of Beijing and is a self-proclaimed ting-tao badie (weather geek).
As the fascinating story progresses, Fang Zu is hired as a commodity trader at the NYMEX and becomes a part of the Desailly Commodity Trading Unit led by Willy. However, after another commodity trading unit (Mihajlovic Traders) finds out that Fang Zu is from Beijing, they start inundating Fang Zu with call options on weather derivatives, something the boy from China adores.
Willy's beloved partner in trading, Drugga, notices that Fang Zu was entering into weather derivative contracts, and that is where the story ignites. The rest of the partners of Desailly call for Fang Zu to be thrown out of the trading firm, but the Chinese boy fights for his freedom to live in the legacy of his father as a meteorologist.
Watch as Fang Zu strives to convince Willy and Drugga that he is indeed one of them and can enjoy being a meteorologist, too.
Here are some memorable quotes from North End Commodity Traders:
