It can be said that the competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival is very fierce, and there are many good films, especially the two films shortlisted for the main competition unit, and the official house catalogue of Cannes has given high scores. Of course, based on the data over the years, the probability of winning the Palme d'Or is not high, but it will win more or less important awards, at least the consolation prize.

Because the Festival de Cannes has always supported artistic breakthroughs, which can also be seen in the shortlist, there are thorough realist film masters, and there are also surreal routes, and the spiritual connection between the two is "dystopian" in this regard.

Of course, there are also films in the main competition unit with low official house book ratings, such as "The Buyer", which was shortlisted for the main competition unit, but at the time of the premiere, the screening scene was already drowned out with boos, and in the end, the official house book only had a low score of 2.2.

Now, "The Redemption of Qincheng" is about to be released here at the Cinema Palace, waiting for the story to be staged.

The movie premiere of "The Redemption of Qincheng" is going to walk the red carpet again, this time almost all the domestic actors and media came to cheer, and the actors were able to show off their style on the red carpet, and the domestic media was because this was the only film shortlisted for the main competition unit, and it was also directed by Zhang Qi, starring Bai Yi and Feng Jin, such a lineup itself made the domestic media very concerned.

Compared with the domestic media, in fact, the foreign media are not very interested, but how to say that this Chinese film was also shortlisted for the main competition unit, and Zhang Qi is still an old acquaintance, naturally there will still be some media, film critics come to watch and cheer, especially recently the media has also promoted Bai Yi, the actor, the original "Sixth Sense" was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor, and won the International TV Emperor, those original soundtracks are highly respected by Europe and the United States.

Therefore, there are a lot of reporters and media who came to the premiere, plus those fans and fans who came to watch, the premiere can be called star-studded and shining.

Some of the guests who came to cheer, after the foreign superstars walked on the red carpet, set off a climax, compared with the crew that appeared in the finale, it was a little bleak, but it was still eye-catching.

Especially with Bai Yi, an absolutely handsome guy, the media and photographers on the scene were busy taking pictures, and the flash kept flashing.

At the end of the red carpet, the movie palace was full of audiences, and many fans just wanted to find a movie to watch, of course, the first choice was the film that was shortlisted for the main competition unit.

……

Zhang Qi and Bai Yi were talking, the two of them were very relaxed, and they were still very confident in this movie, the movie was cut by Zhang Qi, and Bai Yi had also seen the finished film.

But no matter how confident they are, when the screening room darkened, Bai Yi and Zhang Qi still had a moment of excitement.

In the dark, the light appears, the opening is very short, the main thing is the opening of the production company, the most important thing is naturally the light and shadow company, after the mottled light and shadow beating, followed by a sad background music, the title "The Redemption of Qincheng" appeared, and then the film was officially screened, and the first person who appeared was a person.

With that low rhythm, pull out a scene, in the dead of night, the two lights at the gate are dim, very quiet, at a glance, you can see that the background is a little far away.

Bai Yi sat in the car, looking at the house in front of him, just like that, his hair was messy, his eyes were a little wrong, but he was very calm, and then took out an object wrapped in cloth from the small cabinet next to him, and when he opened it, he revealed a gun.

As soon as the camera turned, another scene had been changed to the time of the court trial.

"Please describe the quarrel with your wife on the night of the murder. “

Bai Yi stood in the dock, heard this question, and didn't answer for a while, just looked straight ahead, such a lens, such a look, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes, his eyes were deep and unfathomable.

is such a look, through that lens, through that screen, the audience has also quieted down, they already feel that something is wrong, this story is not so simple.

Bai Yi had long been aware of her current situation, her voice was a little low, and she said: "We quarreled very much, she said that she was not afraid of me, she hated sneaking, and she also said that she wanted to go to Yangcheng for a divorce." “

"How do you answer?"

"I refuse to get a divorce. “

"'You don't want to go to Yangcheng alive,' your neighbor proves that you said it. ”

Bai Yi looked ahead, looked at the lawyer, tilted his head slightly, but his gaze remained the same, he kept looking at the lawyer, his eyes were actually very calm, and he whispered, "Maybe." “

"I was angry and I couldn't remember exactly. “

"What about after you quarrel?"

Bai Yi's eyes flashed, and he didn't stare at the lawyer anymore, recalled, and replied in a low voice: "She packed her luggage, packed her luggage and went to live with Lin Ke." “

It was at this moment that the camera flashed a frame, accompanied by the lawyer's voiceover, "Lin Ke, the coach of the club, you only recently found out that he is your wife's lover", and a man and a woman in the camera are cheating.

……

Then the story begins, the shots of the night and the court are perfectly shifted, and the viewer has figured out the origin of this story. Qin Cheng, the man who is now being tried in the court, seems to answer calmly, but he is a murder suspect, because he went to Lin Ke's residence that night and also brought a gun. Even though Bai Yi claimed that he had drunk that night, just to scare them, and finally gradually sobered up, drove home, and threw the gun into the river, no one believed this statement at all, because the cheating couple died, and they were shot to death.

The motive for the killing, the evidence, everything points to Qin Cheng.

Even the audience had already believed the evidence, the coincidences in Bai Yi's mouth, thinking that Qin Cheng was a murderer who brutally killed two people.

And Qin Cheng was drunk and betrayed by his wife, so in the end, Qin Cheng was sentenced to life imprisonment, that is, life imprisonment.

……

As soon as the picture turned, it was directly the scene of the prison, but the prisoner who came out from behind the door was not Qin Cheng, but another starring Feng Jin, and the prisoner Qi Rui played by Feng Jin also came to be tried. Qi Rui was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder at a young age, and his parole was unsuccessful several times, and it is clear that this trial was also unsuccessful, and he still has to stay in Qincheng Prison. Because of his long time in prison, Ziri has become the "authority figure" in Shawnke's prison, and as long as you can afford it, he can get almost anything you want: cigarettes, candy, alcohol, etc.

The prison picture that appeared in the camera also appeared at this time, and this time it was not Bai Yi who told the story of Qin Cheng, but Qi Rui who told the story of Qin Cheng.

"He entered Qincheng Prison in 99, and the name of the prison is the same, it is also called Qincheng, and the crime is homicide, because he killed his wife and his wife's lover, he was originally a vice president of a big bank, a typical young talent. ”

When Bai Yitao and this group of new prisoners were sent to Qincheng Prison, the audience at the scene felt a sense of depression, especially the words of Warden Linde when he appeared in the camera, which made the audience realize that the story really began here.

Lin De is the warden of Qincheng Prison, it can be said that he is the king of this prison, and on the first day of the new prisoners, he directly asked the prison guard captain Li Hai to beat the prisoners, and he was very ruthless.

And the more ruthless is yet to come.

……

Whenever a new prisoner arrived, everyone bet on who would cry on the first night. When Bai Yi's new group of prisoners were sent to Qincheng Prison, Qi Rui thought that Qin Cheng, who was weak and angry, would definitely cry, but Qin Cheng's silence made him lose two packs of cigarettes, but at the same time, Qi Rui looked at Qin Cheng differently.

The man who cried the first night was a fat man, Humpty Dumpty, because he cried and begged, and then he was seriously injured directly by the vicious captain Lehi, and after being sent to the infirmary, the doctor was not there, and he froze all night, and then died in the infirmary.

When he heard the news, Bai Yi was eating, and a disgusting maggot had just been pulled out of the meal.

"What's his name?"

Another prisoner who won the bet also had a stiff face when he heard Bai Yi's words, but he still asked in a cold voice, "What did you say?"

"I want to know his name. ”

"None of your business, rookie! ”

Hearing this, Bai Yi didn't speak, he was silent, and there was a wordless heaviness in his eyes.

It was at this moment, looking at Bai Yi on the screen, the audience suddenly had some doubts about the original judge's verdict, such a Qin Cheng did not seem to be a murderer.

It is also because of this incident that the audience at the scene, whether it is media reporters or film critics, has become interested in this story, how to achieve redemption in the cruel and ruthless prison, and the real salvation is Qincheng, or Qincheng Prison?

……

The story continues, and Feng Jin also slowly tells the story of Qin Cheng, "At first, Qin Cheng didn't talk much, probably preoccupied, and tried to adapt to prison life, until a month later, he didn't find someone to talk to. That person is me. ”

A month after entering Qincheng Prison, the first thing Qin Cheng asked Red to help him with was a small pickaxe, which he explained was that he wanted to carve some small things to pass the time, and said that he had found a way to escape the routine inspection of the prison authorities.

However, Qi Rui thinks that Qin Cheng wants a small hoe to smash other people's heads, because someone in the prison is eyeing Qin Cheng, and the three sisters have a sexual interest in Qin Cheng.

"Especially Brother Bao, you can do it if you want, if I were you, I would double it. “

"Thank you for your advice. “

"Anyway, you don't need money, you should understand my concerns. “

"I don't have to make trouble with a stone hammer, okay?"

"Then you want to escape prison and dig tunnels?"

is such a conversation, and before you know it, Qin Cheng and Qi Rui get closer, and then they will slowly become friends.

……

Feng Jin's narration is still the same, and the story about Qin Cheng is still the same, "I can't hang up when others think he stinks, he is silent, for a long time, he has not been in contact with anyone, his steps and conversation are simply different in the prison, while everyone complains, he walks leisurely in the yard, just like in the park, carefree, like wearing an invisibility cloak." “

In the end, Qi Rui got the stone hammer that Qin Cheng wanted, and when he saw the hammer, Qi Rui understood why Qin Cheng would laugh when he said that he was escaping from prison and digging tunnels.

Because in Qi Rui's opinion, it takes six hundred years to dig a tunnel with that small stone hammer.

Seeing this, it is obvious that the audience will not know what this little stone hammer means, they just simply think that Qin Cheng really wants to like stones and carve some small things.

……

Soon, Qi Rui played chess engraved by Qin Cheng. After that, Qin Cheng made a huge poster of a female movie star and pasted it on the wall of the cell.

Qin Cheng seems to have adapted to life in prison, adapting and resisting at the same time.

"I also hope that it is another ending, even if Qin Cheng wins the battle and escapes with his whole body, I hope so, but prison is not a fairy tale world,. “

Accompanied by Feng Jin's thick voiceover, Bai Yi on the screen tried his best to resist, but was beaten by the three sisters, and then disappeared, which made the audience feel a chill in their hearts, and understood the meaning of the sentence that prison is not a fairy tale world.

"He never said who it was, but we all got it. Going to jail is a routine, and there is a ...... Qin Cheng has new injuries a lot of the time, sometimes he wins, sometimes he doesn't, and this is what happened to Qin Cheng, his routine, I don't think his life is as miserable as the first two years, if it goes on like this, this black prison will destroy him. ”

"But in the spring of '01—"

……

With the appearance of Feng Jin's voiceover, a new story of Qin Cheng begins.

Once, when he was out working with several other prisoners, Qin Cheng overheard the prison officer talking about taxes. Qin Cheng said he had a way to get the prison officials to legally exempt him from the large tax.

Even when he was almost pushed downstairs by the cruel captain Li Hai and was about to die, Qin Cheng still said that method, and then in exchange, he won two bottles of beer for each of his more than a dozen prisoner friends

Sipping a beer, Ziri said he felt free again for the first time in years.

So, the day before the completion of the work, the prisoners of that spring sat in a pile at ten o'clock in the morning, drinking cold beer, and the most vicious and brutal prison guards in the history of Qincheng Prison treated them. ”

"This bastard is still pretending to be generous!"

"The sun falls on our shoulders, as if free people are repairing the roof of their own homes, and we are as comfortable as the Creator. ”

"Qin Cheng, he nestled in the shade with a strange smile on his face, watching us drink his wine. ”

……

Wu Hai, the prisoner who won the bet, saw Bai Yi sitting alone in the shade, got up and took a bottle of wine, walked towards Bai Yi, and said, "A bottle?"

Bai Yi had a smile on his face, and that smile was a little strange as Feng Jin said.

"Thanks, I'm quitting. ”

That smile, accompanied by that sunshine, is strange but bright.

Feng Jin's voiceover appeared just right, the smiling face that appeared in the camera, "You can say that he wants to shoot the prison guard's sycophants, or win the friendship of his fellow inmates, but I think he just wants to relive his freedom." “

……

And at this time, a really keen audience will know what Bai Yi said and why he quit drinking, and they will also understand what Qi Rui's words mean.

At the same time, the story of Qin Cheng is not finished...... (To be continued.) )
