Growing up was tough for him, particularly after his father Ma Hao Wen (Deng Chao) took the wrap for a building project that went wrong. A bridge his company built collapsed right after opening – and Ma Hao Wen was sent to jail for negligence.

The host of the most-listened-to late-night radio program, Chen Mo (Deng Chao) was living the good life. His career was solid, his fame grew, and best of all, he got to go to work every day with the love of his life, his radio show co-host, Xiao Rong (Du Juan). But everything changed the night a lonely listener called into the show, his words inspiring Xiao Rong to leave Chen Mo for good. With the loss of his love and co-host of his career, his life begins a serious downward spiral that ultimately ends him making a ridiculous bet that’s sure to end in disaster.

Meanwhile, Chen Mo’s “little brothers” aren’t faring any better, in either life or love. Mao Shiba (Yang Yang), a struggling inventor living off his cousin, Chen Mo, spends most of his days running from a local police officer, Li Zhi (Bai Bai He). For some reason, Li Zhi seems to have it out for him, unfortunately for Shiba, which he can’t seem to figure out why.

At the same time, Chen Mo’s other “brother”, Zhu Tou, has spent the past eight years in a relationship with his college sweetheart, Yan Zi. Though they’ve been together for years, they’ve spent most of their time apart, as Yan Zi has spent the majority of those years traveling the world at Zhu Tou’s expense. Tired of missing his globe-trotting girlfriend, Zhu Tou hopes a marriage proposal will bring her home for good but can either of them really be happy after spending so much time apart?

With so much working against them, will these down-and-out souls find a way to be happy in both life and love?

Under the rule of Emperor Huizong, the late Northern Song Dynasty found itself in a state of instability and unrest when counterfeit money began circulating widely throughout the capital. Tasked with finding those responsible for the surge in counterfeit currency, the Department Six Constabulary, led by their strict commander, Liu (Cheng Tai Shen), set out to do just that. Following a tip-off, the Department Six investigators rush to apprehend the suspect, only to find both the suspect and the evidence are already being taken into custody by an unknown secret agency commissioned by the Emperor himself.

Known as the Divine Constabulary, this heretofore unknown force has been working on the Emperor's behalf, entirely in secret. But with their presences now known by all, the commander of Department Six takes their existence as a personal threat. Hoping to bring down the rival agency, Liu secretly orders his best man, Leng Xue (Deng Chao), to infiltrate the Divine Constabulary and find a way to bring it down. Little does Liu know that his own agency has recently been infiltrated by agents working for the counterfeit currency mastermind.

With the Divine Constabulary spearheaded by Leng Xue and his comrades, Wu Qing (Liu Yi Fei), Zhui Ming (Ronald Cheng), and Tie Shou (Collin Chou), better known as The Four, a much more sinister plot than simple counterfeit currency is soon uncovered. Will the rival agencies find a way to put aside their differences for the greater good, or will their constant quarrels allow the entire world to fall into chaos?

Adapted from Woon Swee Oan’s novel series, “The Four Great Constables”, “The Four” is a 2012 Hong Kong wuxia film directed by Gordon Chan and Janet Chun.
