What happens

Curiosity Kills the Cat (simplified Chinese: 好奇害死猫; traditional Chinese: 好奇害死貓; pinyin: Hàoqí hàisǐ māo) is a 2006 Chinese thriller film directed by Zhang Yibai. The film is set in the director's home city of Chongqing. Produced by China Vision Group and Eagle Spirit Management, Curiosity Kills the Cat stars Hu Jun, Liao Fan, as well as veteran Hong Kong actress Carina Lau. Though primarily a mainland Chinese production, international sales was handled by Hong Kong–based Golden Network. Lau would win a Best Actress Golden Rooster Award for her work in the film. Curiosity Kills the Cat was to some critics, most notably Variety's Derek Elley, a prime example of the kind of popular but well-crafted entertainment that China's film industry had begun to produce.
