As a deaf and mute person, he has more loneliness in his heart because he can't communicate with people normally. In addition to giving haircuts and going to the beer machine, her life was to sit in the barbershop and look outside in a daze, and this state did not change until the appearance of steel slag.

The steel slag came to get a haircut for the first time, first cut the head and then flattened the head, and finally shaved it into a bald scoop, and also shaved it, giving less than four cents. She is deaf and mute, but she is not stupid and knows what the hell is going on in the heart of the steel slag.

went back and forth several times, and one day, the two closed the door, did what they wanted to do, and then completely mixed together. In the gap between clouds and rain, the steel slag will "talk" with the less, which is the gesture. Less than not knowing sign language, just believing the reins, encountering unexpressed meanings, improvisation. The action was very chaotic, but the steel slag could understand it, and there was a feeling of heart-to-heart communication, so the two of them gestured and spoke like this.

Less than with steel slag, in addition to tossing in bed, I also like to use the head of steel slag as a test field, and cut it as I like. She'd seen some weird hairstyles in magazines or elsewhere and wanted to try them out without messing around with customers. Now that the steel slag is her lover, she uses the steel slag's head to practice. Therefore, every time they meet, she always looks at how long the hair of the steel slag has grown, and if she thinks it is okay, she will press the steel slag on the bench and cut it indiscriminately.

Zhang Yimou heard someone muttering behind him, turned his head and looked around, although he didn't see it too really, he could clearly feel that most of the audience couldn't sit still, this scene was really torturous.

Watching silent movies is not a difficult task, and the pleasure of watching movies in the silent film era has not been diminished in the slightest by the absence of sound. As long as the audience is fully engaged, coupled with the prompts of subtitles, they will naturally be able to coherent the plot. However, in this scene of "One Man Putting on the Lights", not only does there be no dialogue, no music, and even the subtitles are omitted, the audience cannot use words to get hints, but can only speculate on the emotional changes of the characters, as well as the love and hatred generated by the inner world through the careful exploration of the characters' expressions, gestures, behaviors and their surroundings.

It's a challenging task for the audience, and the average person simply can't stand it!

Zhang Yimou shook his head gently, the audience looked dissatisfied, Zhang Ran would definitely be scolded very badly this time!

In the back row of the theater, a fan was complaining to his companion: "There is no sound, there are no subtitles, I don't know what I'm playing, how can there be a movie like this?"

The companion was also very dissatisfied: "Yes, it's not like Zhang Ran's past movies at all, the pace is so slow, there is no sound yet, I want to sleep when I see it, how can Zhang Ran make such an ugly movie?"

A person next to him said: "Yes, it's too ugly! I didn't expect Zhang Ran to make a bad movie!"

Not only them, but in thousands of movie theaters across the country, many people are shaking their heads, everyone is disappointed in this movie, not to mention the slow pace of the movie, the key is that there is no sound at all, not even subtitles, it looks very difficult, and many things can't be understood, this is completely different from Zhang Ran's hearty movies in the past, everyone can't accept it!

Many reporters at the scene were excited after hearing the audience's dissatisfied discussions, Zhang Ran's good movies are not news, but bad movies are news. Looking at the audience's reaction now, there are a lot of opinions, maybe Zhang Ran's first bad movie is about to be born. Even the organic reporters on the scene have already begun to conceive the headlines of the news.

Zhang Ran's new film failed miserably, and the bad reviews were overwhelming!

"One Person's Lanterns" was badly criticized, and Zhang Ran was questioned about his poor donkey skills!

At the same time, Jia Zhangke's body couldn't help trembling, he was completely shocked by this scene, and felt that he was about to explode. The film uses a lot of hand-held footage to see the world from a smaller perspective. The body movements of the whole scene overshadow the expression of language, and the intensity of body language suggests the rise and fall of the characters' emotions, becoming a new tool for expression and meaning. As the camera moves, with the movements of the characters, the surface is silent, but there is a strong emotion rushing throughout the movie.

When action becomes the only ideographic tool, and the audience cannot clearly translate it, then all kinds of interpretations become possible! Zhang Ran deliberately does not convey clear information, but completely allocates the space for thinking and judgment to the audience, and to a certain extent, the audience is improvising in the process of watching the film.

Zhang Ran's approach is too bold!

Zhang Ran is a madman!

How dare he do that! How dare he shoot like that!

Zhang Ran is really a crazy person!

Jia Zhangke suddenly remembered Tarkovsky's sci-fi masterpiece "Solaris", which was asked to cut out the long five-minute black-and-white shot of the highway in the film before its release in Cannes in 1972, but Tarkovsky resolutely refused, saying, I deliberately made it so long so that the fools in the audience would leave early.

Telling the fools in the audience to leave early is, of course, just Tarkovsky's angry words, and the five-minute footage is not really used to show that the car has been driving for a long time, but to clear people's distractions, so that the sudden silence after a long wait will be unforgettable.

What kind of world will Zhang Ran uncover after this long and silent shot?

Jia Zhangke has watched "One Person's Lights" and knows the follow-up development of the story, but at this moment he has been completely attracted by the movie, and his curiosity about the follow-up development of the movie has reached a new peak. He sat forward, adjusted his posture, and stared at the screen tightly, wanting to see what kind of technique Zhang Ran would use to present the follow-up plot!

The movie was going on, and on this day, "The Last Mohican" was playing on TV, and after watching it, he pressed the steel slag on a stool and cut the Mohican hairstyle. After cutting, Xiao Xiao felt that it was not good-looking, so he simply didn't do it and scraped the steel slag. In this way, the scar on the top of the steel slag's head and the red birthmark are revealed.

The steel slag didn't look good, so he handed her less than fifty yuan and asked her to buy herself a hat and a pair of sunglasses. Less than down to the bottom of the mountain, bought these two things, the hat is Metersbonwe, with a long ducktongue-shaped brim.

Suddenly, there was a shrill siren, the silent world was broken, and the perspective returned to Lao Huang.

Police lights flashed, and a cordon was set up on the riverbank. Lao Huang and Xiao Cui were standing on the river beach, looking at the corpse with its face turned upwards, its expression and limbs solidified into a very awkward appearance, it was Yu Xinliang.

In front of the screen, the originally sleepy audience suddenly returned to their souls, feeling that the movie was finally a little interesting, and their attention was concentrated like never before.

The pace of the film noticeably begins to pick up, and the on-site investigation proceeds in an orderly manner, with a group of people combing through the river beach in the form of a grate, carefully searching for fingerprints, footprints, remnants, and other traces.

After some inspection, Lao Huang and the others sat by the river to hold an on-site analysis meeting. Lao Huang analyzed the criminals according to the footprints left by the criminals at the scene, and believed that the two criminals should be men in their thirties, one of whom was taller, more than 1.8 meters tall, and the other was shorter.

When evacuating the scene, Lao Huang called Xiao Cui and two other young police officers to squeeze into a car and drive slowly along the road. After dealing with the crime scene and then searching along the road, it is a habit formed by Lao Huang for many years, and he has gained many results. After driving the car for a few minutes, Lao Huang suddenly asked the driver to stop, and he jumped out of the car and walked towards a black spot three meters away. It was a hat commonly worn by young people, black, with a long visor and a logo of the Metland brand on the inside.

Lao Huang thinks that this hat is a genuine product, worth dozens of dollars, if the ordinary person's hat is lost, he should pick up the hat back, but no one picks up this hat, it should be that the perpetrator committed the crime in a hurry, and there is no time to pick up the hat back, this hat is likely to be the murderer's!

The audience who watched it in front of the screen was relatively calm, and the audience who didn't watch it was taken aback, and even some female viewers covered their mouths, everyone remembered very well that the hat that was bought for the steel slag was exactly the same as this. Could it be that the steel slag killed Yu Xinliang?

Lao Huang and Xiao Cui took the hat as a breakthrough in the investigation, and soon got a message from the general agent of Metersbonwe, this model of hat is the main model on the market last year, and the volume of goods in the entire mountain city is 194, and there are 51 invoices and receipts recorded. Lao Huang and they immediately launched an investigation into Metersbonwe stores across the city to ask for information about the buyers of this hat.

When I found the eighth store, the clerk provided information that a female mute had come to buy this type of hat. If a normal person buys a small item, it is difficult to remember it firmly, or to wear it with a crown. But a female mute came to buy a men's hat and bought two at once, and the female mute also used gestures to bargain with the clerk, and the clerk took a long time to communicate with her, and the store did not offer discounts, which was different from the stall, so the clerk remembered it very clearly.

The audience in front of the screen was a little worried, they knew that the dumb person should be less than, could it really be that the lover of less than killed his own brother?

Lao Huang and Xiao Cui also thought of Xiaoxiao, but they didn't think the same as the audience, they didn't know the existence of steel slag, and they didn't know that Xiao Xiao had bought a hat for steel slag. They think that if the hat is really less than bought, then it may be worn on Yu Xinliang's head; after all, Yu Xinliang is running a taxi outside, which is less than buying a hat for his brother, which is completely reasonable.

With the assistance of the clerk, Lao Huang and the others quickly confirmed that the mute who bought the hat was less than. When Xiao Cui took out the hat for Xiao Xiao to see, Xiao Xiao's tears flowed out, and the whole person was about to collapse, and the hat was given to Yu Xinliang by her.

The audience breathed a sigh of relief, since the hat was bright in the heart, then this case should have nothing to do with steel slag.

The clue of the hat was broken, and Lao Huang and they had no other useful clues for the time being, and the whole case suddenly fell into a stalemate. Soon after, an unexpected discovery by Lao Huang made progress in the case. He noticed an inconspicuous round spot of blood on the left outer side of the hat, causing the fluff on the surface of the hat to clump up. The hat was black and stained with blood, making it hard to read.

Lao Huang hurriedly took the hat to the technical department of the city bureau for inspection, and compared it with Yu Xinliang's blood sample. The results came out quickly, and the blood stains came from Xinliang.

According to the autopsy, Yu Xinliang's nose was blown out, and the other wound was on the right side of his neck, which was fatally cut. If it was Yu Xinliang's own blood, how could it be splashed on his hat? The blood spots were very round, and it could be seen that they were splashed on it, not smeared. There is a brim in the middle, and it is impossible for blood to spray to that position.

Lao Huang's heart is like a mirror, the hat is not Yu Xinliang's, but the murderer's, when Yu Xinliang was killed, blood sprayed on the murderer's hat!

In front of the screen, the audience's hearts were completely torn up, could it really be that the steel slag killed Xiao Xiao's brother? Why did he do this? Xiao Xiao bought him a hat at the same time, and also bought an identical one for his brother, did he hope that his lover and brother could live in peace? If it was really steel slag killed Yu Xinliang, it would be really sad!
