Chapter 348: Finished
The reason why Xu Wangqiu suspects that Tong Yuejuan is the murderer is very simple, because he threatens the survival of the Freedom Association, and the Freedom Association condenses Tong Yuejuan's half-life efforts. The Freedom Association was established by Tong Yuejuan's husband Zhang Shankun and others, after Zhang Shankun's death, Tong Yuejuan stopped acting, and his mind was spent on the Freedom Association.
After the export company launched the co-production policy, the hearts of the Hong Kong film industry fluctuated, and even Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai secretly contacted Yindu to prepare to enter the mainland market. If Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai both jump back, then the days of the Freedom Association will really come to an end. Tong Yuejuan naturally hated Xu Wangqiu to the extreme, if she had the opportunity to kill Xu Wangqiu, she would definitely be the first to do it.
Zhang Shankun is the boss of the Green Gang, Tong Yuejuan is also a member of the Green Gang, and she has a very high seniority, and has a close relationship with the gangs composed of the remnants of the Kuomintang such as 14K, and it is not difficult for her to find a few kills to deal with Xu Wangqiu.
The timing of this assassination of Xu Wangqiu was extremely cleverly chosen, and it was done after the Kuomintang sent a team of killers to Xiangjiang. The advantage of this is that the focus of the police investigation is on the Kuomintang killer team, and the real culprits can easily get away with it, while the Kuomintang killers do not really do it, and even if they are caught, they will not be imprisoned, and at most they will be expelled. After Xu Wangqiu was shot, the news that the Kuomintang had sent hitmen to carry out assassinations would certainly circulate, and all circles in Xiangjiang would inevitably feel unprecedented pressure and would not dare to get too close to the hinterland and not dare to turn to the hinterland in an all-round way. It can be said that it kills multiple birds with one stone, and it is simply a perfect crime.
There is a problem here, the people who formulated this plan must have known about the fact that the Kuomintang sent a group of killers to Xiangjiang, otherwise the whole plan would not have been established. Assuming that Qin Xianglin wanted to kill Xu Wangqiu, would he be able to make such a plan? Obviously impossible. He could not have known the plans of the Kuomintang. The fact that the Kuomintang sent killers to Xiangjiang was quite secretive, and only a few people knew about it.
To formulate this plan, this person must be a member of the Kuomintang, who knows about the Kuomintang killers, and Tong Yuejuan is such a person, she is a member of the Overseas Chinese Election Supervision Committee of the Taiwan Supervision Yuan, and she is also an important chess piece of Taiwan in Xiangjiang, and she must know that Taiwan sent a killer team to Xiangjiang. Even listing Xu Wangqiu as an assassination target may have been suggested by her.
From all aspects of consideration, the murderer who shot Xu Wangqiu is undoubtedly Tong Yuejuan.
The police quickly called Tong Yuejuan to the police station for questioning, but did not ask anything useful. Tong Yuejuan is a person of status, not only the chairman of the Freedom Federation, but also a member of the Overseas Chinese Election Supervisory Committee of the Taiwan Supervision Yuan. In the absence of evidence, the police did not dare to embarrass her and could only release her.
However, the police did not give up, and according to the motorcycle ridden by the killer, they quickly found clues and found a Kuomintang stronghold. According to the information provided by the Kuomintang intelligence officers, the three killers were members of the Taiwanzhu Gang and were ordered to come and kill Xu Wangqiu. As for why they killed Xu Wangqiu, they didn't know. After shooting Xu Wangqiu, the three killers fled back to Taiwan.
Xu Wangqiu was even more convinced that Tong Yuejuan was the murderer, and the Bamboo Union Gang couldn't fight with him, so why did he kill himself?
However, because there is no evidence, Xu Wangqiu and the police have no way to take Tong Yuejuan. During this period, there were many similar cases in Xiangjiang, such as Li Lianjie's agent Cai Ziming was shot dead. The film industry knows who the murderer is, but there is no evidence, so it can only be dismissed.
Xu Wangqiu swore in his heart that he must defeat the Freedom Association, and must destroy the Freedom Association little by little, so that Tong Yuejuan watched her half-life work disintegrate little by little!
Since the killer had fled back to Taiwan, Xu Wangqiu's grounding was lifted and he returned to the crew for filming.
I don't know if it's because Xu Zhengdao was shot and sacrificed this movie with blood. In the days that followed, the filming went surprisingly well. Under the command of Xu Wangqiu, the crew is like a high-speed train, rushing towards the finale at high speed.
On the afternoon of December 27, the filming finally came to an end. As long as the filming of the last scene is completed, the movie will be officially completed. The last scene of the movie was filmed in a studio on the Clear Water Bay set, and this scene took place at Zheng Yi's house.
In the story "Cold", Huang Shilang is the king of real estate in Xiangjiang, but he is extremely low-key, and he usually never appears in the media or accepts media interviews. However, the recent collapse of the real estate market in Xiangjiang has led to the continuous suicide of people, and public opinion and the media are shouting at Huang Shilang, hoping that they will allow buyers to break their contracts and stop chasing the balance of those with negative equity.
Huang Shilang had to stand up and defend himself, so he accepted an exclusive interview with the TV station. In desperation, Zheng Yi found the red birthmark on Huang Shilang's wrist and recognized Huang Shilang as the murderer who killed his parents in the first place.
The TV set at the scene is playing the conversation between the host and Huang Shilang.
The host said: "Mr. Huang, the house price has fallen to less than half, and those landlords who have taken out loans of 5 or 6 percent cannot repay the bank loans even if they sell their houses, and negative equity is very common. Some people say that in this special period, Huang Shilang, who is the richest man in Hong Kong, should open his eyes and stop chasing the balance of the house owed by these people with negative equity?"
Huang Shilang shrugged his shoulders: "Xiangjiang is a society that abides by contracts and keeps promises and bears its own risks, and if you don't see a financial bubble, you can only consider yourself unlucky, because everyone doesn't see it." If this bubble doesn't burst, your house will double the profit, and I won't have a reason to share the profit with you. So, the person who has signed a contract with us has to fulfill the contract and has to complete the contract. ”
The host said sympathetically: "That's right, but now there are many people who commit suicide......"
David Jiang sat against the wall, watching TV blankly. His whole body was in a shadow, making it impossible to see his face. At this moment, the "TV station" gave Huang Shilang a close-up and patted his hand gently tapping on the table. At this time, David Jiang saw the red birthmark on Huang Shilang's hand, and sat up suddenly, his eyes firmly fixed on Huang Shilang's hand.
Xu Wangqiu sat in the director's chair, his eyes glued to the monitor, watching David Jiang's performance.
Originally, David Jiang was in a shadow, but as soon as he sat up, his whole face was illuminated by the light. The emotions in his eyes were extremely complex, ranging from surprise to incredulity to hatred. He stared at the TV in a daze, the surprise and incredulity in his eyes gradually disappeared, leaving only a thick hatred that could not be dissolved. A huge killing intent seeped out of Jiang David's body, filling the air, as if there was substance.
Almost everyone at the scene felt a strong chill, as if the temperature at the scene had dropped by more than ten degrees.
"Stop!" Xu Wangqiu stood up, and his excited voice sounded on the set, "Lao Jiang, your performance is wonderful, and you perfectly present the content I want." Your performance is simply perfect!"
Everyone at the scene breathed a long sigh of relief, and in the ten seconds just now, they instinctively felt fear, like facing a cobra, and they didn't dare to make a sound, or even dare to move. It seems that as long as he makes a sound, as long as he moves, the other party will use the killing intent on himself and kill himself.
Recording and photography quickly told Xu Wangqiu that there was no problem with recording and photography. He took a deep breath and announced loudly: "This shot has passed! The last shot of the movie is officially completed! I announce that "Cold" is officially finished!"
"It's finished, it's finished!" The applause and cheers at the scene rang out into one piece, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory.
Xu Wangqiu looked at the crew members who were caught in a carnival and couldn't help but smile. This movie has been full of twists and turns from its start to the present, and now it is finally completed. He smiled and stretched out his hand to Yan Hao: "Yan Hao, thank you for your hard work." You are a very good director, and you will definitely shine in the future. ”
Yan Hao shook Xu Wangqiu's hand and said with a bright smile: "It's my honor to cooperate with you." ”
Xu Wangqiu smiled at him and walked towards David Jiang, who was sitting on the ground and smirking. He reached out and pulled Jiang David up from the ground, smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Your performance is wonderful." Your performance made our film even better and more moving, and it would have lost a lot of points without you. He smiled and joked: "Now that the movie is finished, go back and make a good man with your wife!" Otherwise, the crew of "China's Last Eunuch" should look for you to be the leading actor!"
David Jiang gave Xu Wangqiu a punch and said with a smile: "Although I have been famous in this drama for half my life, I feel that my acting skills have broken through." Thank you very much, and I hope to cooperate in the future. ”
"There will definitely be a chance. Xu Wangqiu nodded with a smile and walked towards Xia Meng, who was talking to Liao Yiyuan. He stood in front of Xia Meng and said with a smile: "Sister Xia Meng, fortunately, the movie was successfully completed." ”
Xia Meng smiled and said, "Wangqiu, it's really hard for you." I believe this will be a work that will amaze the world. This movie is really not easy, and now it is finally finished. Tell us a few words. ”
Xu Wangqiu nodded, pulled his director's chair over, and stood on the chair. Yan Hao saw that Xu Wangqiu was about to speak, so he handed him a loudspeaker. Xu Wangqiu held the horn in his hand, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, put the work in your hands away, I have a few words to say to you." ”
Now it was quickly quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Wangqiu's face, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Xu Wangqiu was condescending, looked at everyone's eyes full of expectation, and said with a smile: "From the preparation of this drama to the present, it has taken almost six or seven months. In terms of time, it's not the longest film I've ever made, but in terms of difficulty, it's the hardest I've ever made. During the filming of the film, we encountered a lot of troubles and encountered many things that were even unheard of, such as the main actor being bitten by a pig. ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and David Jiang shook his head with a wry smile.
Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "I was also shot, and two crew members were shot, and I almost lost my life." However, with everyone's joint insistence and joint efforts, the movie was finally completed. So, here I would like to thank every member of our crew for their efforts on the film. The film wouldn't have been possible without you.
The movie "Cold" was originally made by Truffaut and them, and we made an appointment to shoot a theme together. Next May, I will take my film to the Cannes Film Festival. In Hong Kong, filmmakers are divided into Zuo faction and You faction, and will be divided into mainland filmmakers and Xiangjiang filmmakers. But when it comes to the international stage, we actually only have one name, Chinese filmmakers. Because our face determines that we can only be Chinese filmmakers, even if you join the British, others will not really regard you as British. Because the British are a white country, and you are a yellow race, you can't change your skin.
Now that Sino-British negotiations are ongoing, the return of Hong Kong to the motherland is a historical necessity, and various reforms in the interior are also constantly deepening, and the future will certainly get better and better. I believe that there will be more and more cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong in the future, I believe that there will no longer be a distinction between Hong Kong and mainland filmmakers in the future, and I believe that as long as we all work together, Chinese films will surely create unprecedented brilliance!
That's all I have to say, I'm very happy to work with you, and I hope to cooperate in the future, thank you!"
As soon as the words ended, the applause rang out like a tide.
