CHAPTER 40

Drama is like life

A strong wind blew, dust flew, blades of grass and garbage bags rolled up into the air, and everyone turned their heads to prevent the wind and sand from blinding.

In the direction of the headwind, two people, a man and a woman, appeared in the wind, walking hand in hand.

The man was wearing a leather jacket and a helmet, and the woman was wearing a white fur-collared down jacket.

The four members of the special case team stood in the reception hall, they had been waiting for a long time.

The man in the leather jacket said, "I'm the one who filmed and uploaded the video of the killing." ”

The woman in the down jacket said, "I am the woman who was hanged." ”

The woman in the first murder video is not dead, she is still alive.

The special case team could not find the scene of the crime, so they reconstructed the exact same scene, and through the crime simulation, the special case team already knew that the murder was just a scene directed by the "murderer" and the "victim".

The process is as follows:

The woman first took off her blouse, tied it with a rope under her ribs, reserved a knotted noose, then put on a sweater and down jacket and sat down on a chair. The man tied her up and began recording the video that netizens saw. The man wraps a "fake rope" around the woman's neck, this rope is very short, just around the neck, and is not connected to the rope that hangs him, but only plays a role in confusing others, and the rope that carries the power is actually connected to the rope sleeve hidden under the woman's armpit. After all, a person who is suspended in the air with a rope tied to his armpit will not die.

It's a simple magic trick that is also common in movies.

In order to play this fake hanging scene more realistically, her expression was so terrifying, her struggle was so violent, and the lines she said were also memorized in advance, all of which were their plays.

They are not strangers, but a pair of lovers.

The man's name is He Yizheng, he is a director, and the woman's name is Shen Cha, and they graduated from a film school in Beijing.

When he was a freshman, He Yizheng was a talented man in the school, talented, wrote, directed and acted in several dramas, and when he performed in the small hall of the school, the audience was almost full, and the applause was overwhelming. On the day they met, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. He Yizheng created a three-act stage play, looking for a heroine to play against him, he played the role of a husband and needed a wife. Many female students from the acting department came to interview, and Shen Cha was wearing a white-washed suspender jeans, canvas shoes, and a cotton T-shirt, with white arms, double ponytails, and a few books in her arms, wandering in the corridor outside the small hall.

She came to apply for a role with a friend, and He Yizheng saw her by chance and felt that her image was very in line with the image of the characters in the play.

He Yizheng said: "This classmate, I ask you to be the heroine and play my wife." ”

Shen Cha was a little flattered and didn't know what to say, so her friend gently pushed her and motioned her to hurry up.

He Yizheng said: "If you don't answer, you agree, let's go, let's go rehearsal, from now on, I am your husband, you are my wife, we have to integrate into this role, we have to enter the play." You call me husband first. ”

Shen Cha squirmed and lowered his head and said, "I don't ......"

They have played husband and wife many times, from the stage of school to the stage of life.

He is the main character, and she is the supporting character.

Many stills and photos from that time have been preserved, stored in a thick album, and the past is as clear as the blue sky. The lines on stage are created by them together, and sometimes, they also argue, such as about the point of view of love.

He said: "Love comes like a butterfly when it comes, and like snow when it goes." ”

She said: "Love comes like a moth and goes like a firework." ”

He said, "I can wait, but the roses can't, so I'm going to thank you, in the hands of the flowers I sent them." ”

She said: "I can wait, and so can the roses, even if they are grateful, in the hands of the flowers I sent them." ”

For the script of the quarrel、Stage

The end result of the word modification is that she compromises and accommodates. Although she plays the leading role, she is actually more like a supporting role, and she believes that the role of a wife should be silently compromised.

After graduation, in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, He Yizheng constantly changed his place of work, and Shen Cha never gave up following him.

Together, they joined an advertising and communication company, and we sometimes saw cosmetics commercials shot by He Yizheng on TV, with beautiful models and supple skin. He Yizheng's favorite thing to shoot is the government's image engineering advertising film, the government is generous, rarely bargaining, but sometimes puts forward some perverted demands. For example, the production cost is more than 100,000 yuan, but the invoice is issued in the millions; For example, let the actor accompany the leader to drink, etc.

There was a leader who left a deep impression on He Yizheng.

After the shooting of the commercial, the leader was responsible for the review, he sat on the sofa, very deep, spit out a puff of cigarette, stared at a picture in the advertisement, and said slowly: "Can this flower bloom more mainly?" ”

The leader stretched out his hands, stretched out his palms, and made a gesture of flowers blooming.

He Yizheng said yes again and again, saying that he would revise it to ensure that the requirements of the leadership were met.

In the end, He Yizheng took the angle of upward shooting, he knelt on the ground, held the camera, let the flower be high, the haze sky was processed into a blue sky and white clouds, and it was accompanied by a high-pitched and loud main theme song, which finally passed the review.

He Yizheng is reluctant to say that he is a director, he wants to make a movie, not a commercial.

He wanted to photograph the dirt road in the countryside, the clear water in the ruts after a heavy rain, and the black tadpoles swimming forward.

He wanted to shoot a family of four generations, the life of each family member.

He wanted to photograph a woman, she had a child, died in a car accident in 1989, the vehicle that caused the accident was a heavy tracked vehicle, the driver escaped, and has not been caught so far.

Finally, one day, he made up his mind, quit his job, became an independent filmmaker, and began to make a film.

From the purchase of copyrights, to the revision of scripts, and the establishment of film and television projects, it has gone through a lot of hardships. During the fundraising stage, he constantly went to film festivals to distribute scripts and lobby various bosses to invest, during that period, he met the most braggart people in China, and the film and television industry was mixed, but bragging is the basic skill of film and television industry practitioners. Although he blows wildly, the other party can blow even more...... In short, no one wants to invest in a new director who doesn't have a work.

The investment in a movie can range from a few million to tens of millions, or even more than 100 million.

He made the decision that he couldn't turn back and paid for the film himself.

Shen Cha has always loved He Yizheng without regrets and fully supported his career. Shen Cha persuaded his parents to mortgage his family's house with 1 million yuan as start-up capital. He Yizheng called everyone in the mobile phone to borrow money, in order to solve the financial problem, he gave up his dignity, no bottom line, no discipline, everything was just to raise money.

He Yizheng said: "Wife, we have no way out, if we mess up, our house and my parents' house will be gone." ”

Shen Cha said: "I'll follow you, you can live anywhere, it's a big deal for us to rent a house." ”

The movie is finally finished, and the next post-production also requires a lot of money. He Yizheng dug deep into all kinds of relationships, lied that he was terminally ill, borrowed money from relatives, friends, and bigwigs in the film and television industry again, overdrafted credit cards, private loan sharks, and even borrowed money from actors and crew members, except for Shen Cha, everyone hated him.

Film and television is a bottomless pit, the money is still not enough, post-production is completed, in order to raise the cost of publicity and distribution, He Yizheng made a wrong decision - to participate in overseas film festivals without approval.

He originally wanted to attract overseas funds, but the film was banned and banned!

Thunderbolts on sunny days, landslides and ground cracks, and countless boulders fell from the sky, crushing them forever.

Millions of dollars of investment became zero overnight, and no one was held accountable for their losses.

He Yizheng and Shen Cha are just two ants in the dust, and they are all over the place to make a movie

Give birth.

In order to avoid debts, Shen Cha followed He Yizheng back to his hometown, which was a dilapidated bungalow, which is the location in the murder video.

He Yizheng was seriously ill and bedridden, Shen Cha was the first to cheer up, feed him and wash his clothes, and take good care of him.

He Yizheng looked at the hook on the roof and had the idea of suicide, he said, "I really don't want to live anymore." ”

Shen Cha said, "Then I will die with you." ”

Desperate situations often lead to brilliant artistic inspiration, and he initially wanted to film his suicide and post it online. A talented director who is cornered and ends up hanging himself in a dilapidated house should be shocked by the audience. On the basis of this idea, he had a bold idea to shoot a banned film, a series of videos of "killing people and throwing corpses".

Of course, the murder was fake, and the discarded stump was also amputated from a patient he had bought through bribery in the hospital.

He Yizheng and Shen Cha were excited about their idea, and they conceived the script and prepared some tools. He gave up his professional filming techniques and used an ordinary mobile phone as a video camera, and shot five videos, or rather, movies.

In the first part, murder, he hanged Shen Cha in the old house.

In the second part, he put Shen Cha's severed hand into a mineral water bucket and placed the bucket on the water dispenser in the cinema lounge.

In the third, another severed hand is tied to a street lamp, the light comes on, and the shadow of a huge palm is cast on the ground.

In the fourth, the left leg was thrown behind a large-screen television in the mall.

In the fifth, Shen Cha's right leg was glued to the steps of a film and television company.

The hanging was a magic trick, he didn't hang her, and the stump in the video was also amputated by a patient in the hospital. This series of videos caused a huge response on the Internet, and thousands of netizens also participated in this search, and it was thanks to the power of netizens that the body was found soon after the video was released.

Is the theme of this movie horror?

Maybe!

Through the identification of the stump, the special case team learned that it was a limb that was amputated by a special instrument in the hospital, so they learned that the limb abandoned by the murderer did not belong to the deceased in the murder video. The subsequent crime simulation confirmed that the murderer did not kill people, but created the illusion of killing. The four places where the bodies were dumped are all related to film and television, and the special case team reasoned and analyzed that the identity of the person who shot the video is likely to be a film and television practitioner, and if you investigate the films that have been banned in recent years, you are likely to find the suspect from the list.

The special case team knew that the killer did not kill anyone, and the motive for shooting the video may have been just to become famous and attract viewers.

The special case team released through the media that the killer would turn himself in, in order to give him a chance to reduce his sentence.

There is always an ending to a movie, and He Yizheng and Shen Cha's choice to surrender is the best ending and the only ending.

Although He Yizheng did not kill anyone, he also committed the crimes of "stealing and insulting corpses" and "fabricating and deliberately disseminating false terrorist information", which had a bad social impact, and he was punished for several crimes, and it is estimated that he will also stay in prison for several years.

Su Mei said: "There are many lawyers on the Internet who have formed a strong team of lawyers who are willing to defend your innocence for free. ”

"This may be good news for you, you are now famous, and your purpose has been achieved. ”

Bao Chu said: "I am really interested in the movie you shot, if it is shown in the cinema, I will buy a ticket to see it." ”

Professor Liang said, "You two young people, there is still a long way to go, do you have anything to say?" ”

He Yizheng said: "Alas, for so many years, you have been wronged and tired. ”

Shen Cha said: "Don't say that going to prison, even going to hell, I will go with you, and I will not leave you." ”

He Yizheng said: "Although this place, at this time, it is not appropriate to say this sentence...... Will you marry me? ”

Shen Cha said, "I do." ”
