A strong wind blew over, causing dust to fly. Grass blades and garbage bags were rolled into the air. Everyone turned their heads to avoid being blinded by the wind and sand.
In the direction against the wind, two people, a man and a woman, appeared, facing the wind and walking hand in hand.
The man was wearing a leather jacket and helmet, and the woman was wearing a white fur-collared down jacket. Reporters present took pictures one after another, gathered around and raised microphones to ask questions. They remained silent, pushed aside the crowd, and walked straight into the Public Security Bureau.
The four members of the special case team were standing in the reception hall. They had been waiting for a long time.
The man in the leather jacket said: "I'm the one who shot and uploaded the murder video."
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 crime scene, so they reconstructed the exact same scene. Through 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 shirt and tied it with a rope under her ribs, leaving a knotted noose. Then she put on a sweater and down jacket and sat on a chair. The man tied her up and started recording what netizens saw.
In that video, the man wrapped a "fake rope" around the woman's neck. This rope was very short and just wrapped around the neck. It was not connected to the rope used to hang herself. It only served to confuse others and carry power.
The rope is actually connected to the noose hidden under the woman's armpit. After all, a person will not die if he is hung in the air with a rope tied to his armpit.
This is a simple magic trick that is also very common in movies.
In order to make this fake hanging scene more realistic, her expression was so terrifying, her struggle was so fierce, and her lines were memorized in advance. All of this was a play they performed.
They are not strangers, but lovers.
The man's name is He Yizheng, a director, and the woman's name is Shen Cha. They graduated from a film academy in Beijing.
When he was a freshman, He Yizheng was a gifted student in the school. He was very talented. He wrote, directed and acted in several plays. When he performed in the school's small auditorium, the auditorium was almost full and the applause was overwhelming. The day they met, Yun Dan
The wind was gentle and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. He Yizheng created a three-act stage play and was looking for a heroine to play opposite him. He played the role of a husband and needed a wife. Many female students from the acting department came for interviews. Shen Cha was wearing
Wearing a pair of bleached jeans with suspenders, canvas shoes, and a cotton T-shirt, with bare white arms and a pair of ponytails, holding a few books, he wandered in the corridor outside the small auditorium.
She came with a friend to apply for the role. He Yizheng saw her by chance and felt that her image was very consistent with the character 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. Her friend pushed her gently and signaled her to agree quickly.
He Yizheng said: "If you don't answer, you agree. Let's go and rehearse. From now on, I am your husband and you are my wife. We have to fit into this role and enter the play. You need to call me first."
Husband, try it.”
Shen Cha lowered his head and said, "I don't..."
They have played husband and wife many times, from the school stage to the stage of life.
He is the protagonist and she is the supporting role.
Many stills and photos from that time have been preserved and stored in a thick album. When you look through it casually, the past is as clear as the blue sky. The lines on the stage were co-created by them. Sometimes, they would also quarrel, such as Perspectives on love.
He said: "Love comes like a butterfly and goes like snow."
She said: "Love comes like a moth and goes like fireworks."
He said: "I can wait, but the rose cannot. It will be withered in the hand that gave me the flowers."
She said: "I can wait, and so can the roses. Even if they are withered, they will be in the hands of me who gave them."
Arguments over the script, Taiwan
The final result of the revision of the lyrics was her compromise and accommodation. Although she played the protagonist, she was actually more like a supporting role. She believed that the role of a wife should be silently enduring.
After graduation, He Yizheng kept changing working places in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, but Shen Cha followed him.
They joined an advertising media company together. We sometimes see cosmetics ads shot by He Yizheng on TV. The models are beautiful and have supple skin. What He Yizheng likes to shoot most is the government's image project commercials, and the government is generous. , rarely bargain, but sometimes make some perverted requests. For example, the production cost is hundreds of thousands, but the invoice is in the millions; for example, let the actors drink with the leader, etc.
There was a leader who left a deep impression on He Yizheng.
After the filming of the commercial was completed, the leader was responsible for reviewing it. He sat on the sofa with a deep expression, exhaled a puff of smoke, stared at a scene in the commercial, and said slowly: "Can this flower bloom with a more central theme?"
The leader spread his hands, extended his palms, and made a flower-opening gesture.
He Yizheng kept saying yes and said he would revise it to ensure it met the leader's requirements.
In the end, He Yizheng took the angle of shooting from above. He knelt on the ground, held up the camera, and let the flower stand high above. The hazy sky was processed into blue sky and white clouds, and was accompanied by a high-pitched and loud main melody song. Finally, it passed Review.
He Yizheng is not willing to say that he is a director. He wants to make movies, not commercials.
He wanted to take pictures of rural dirt roads, the clear water in the ruts after a heavy rain, and the black tadpoles swimming forward.
He wanted to photograph a family of four generations living under one roof, and the life of each family member.
He wanted to take a picture of a woman who had a child who died in a car accident in 1989. The vehicle responsible for the accident was a heavy-duty crawler truck. The driver escaped and has not been arrested so far.
Finally one day, he made up his mind, quit his job, became an independent filmmaker, and started planning to make a movie.
From purchasing novel copyrights to revising scripts and establishing film and television projects, he went through a lot of hardships. During the fund-raising stage, he constantly went to film festivals to distribute scripts and lobbied various bosses for investment. During that period, he saw the most capable people in China. There are many people who brag in the film and television industry, but bragging is a basic skill for people working in the film and television industry. Although he brags to the extreme, the other person can brag even better... In short, no one is willing to invest in a new director who has no works.
The investment in a movie can range from a few million to tens of millions or even over 100 million.
He made an irreversible decision and financed the filming of the movie himself.
Shen Cha has always loved He Yizheng without regrets and fully supported his career. Shen Cha persuaded his parents to mortgage his house for 1 million yuan as start-up capital. He Yizheng gave everyone on his phone When a person calls to borrow money, in order to solve the financial problem, he gives up his dignity, has no bottom line, and has no moral integrity, all just to raise money.
He Yizheng said: "Honey, we have no retreat. If we mess up, our house and our parents' house will be gone."
Shen Cha said: "I will follow you and live wherever you want. At worst, we can rent a house."
The movie was finally completed, and the subsequent post-production also required a large amount of money. He Yizheng dug into various relationships, lied about being terminally ill, borrowed money again from relatives, friends, and film and television industry bosses, and overdrafted his credit card. He is a private loan shark and even borrows money from actors and crew members. Everyone except Shen Cha hates him.
Film and television is a bottomless pit, and there is still not enough money. After post-production was completed, in order to raise publicity and distribution expenses, 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 blocked and banned!
Bolts from the blue, landslides and ground cracks, countless boulders falling from the sky, weighing them down forever.
Millions of investments turned to zero overnight, and no one was held accountable for their losses.
He Yizheng and Shen Cha are just two ants in the dust. They spent all their money to make movies.
Produce.
In order to avoid debts, Shen Cha followed He Yizheng back to his hometown. It was a dilapidated bungalow, which was the location in the murder video.
When He Yizheng fell seriously ill and was bedridden, Shen Cha was the first to cheer him up, fed him, washed him, and took good care of him.
He Yizheng looked at the hook on the roof and had the idea of committing suicide. He said, "I really don't want to live anymore."
Shen Cha said: "Then I will die with you."
Wonderful artistic inspiration often comes out of being in a desperate situation. He originally wanted to film his suicide process and post it online. A talented director had no choice but to hang himself in a dilapidated house. The audience should be shocked after watching this. Based on this idea, he came up with a bold idea to shoot a banned film, a series of videos of "killing people and dumping their bodies".
Of course, the killing was fake, and the discarded stumps were also amputated limbs from patients he bought through bribes in the hospital.
He Yizheng and Shen Cha were excited about their idea. They conceived a script and prepared some tools. He gave up professional shooting techniques, used an ordinary mobile phone as a camera, and shot five videos, or Say, it's a movie.
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 movie theater lounge.
In the third part, another severed hand is tied to a street lamp. When the lamp is turned on, the shadow of the huge palm is projected on the ground.
In the fourth part, the left leg was thrown behind a large-screen TV in the mall.
In the fifth part, Shen Cha’s right leg was glued to the steps of a film and television company.
Hanging was a magic trick, he did not hang her, and the stumps shown in the video were also amputated limbs of patients in the hospital. This series of videos caused a huge response on the Internet, and thousands of netizens also participated in the search , relying on the power of netizens, the body parts were found shortly after the video was released.
Is the theme of this movie horror?
Maybe!
Through the identification of the residual limbs, the special case team learned that these were limbs that were amputated with special equipment in the hospital. They therefore learned that the limbs abandoned by the murderer did not belong to the deceased in the murder video. Subsequent crime simulations confirmed that the murderer did not
Instead of killing people, they created the illusion of killing people. The four places where corpses were dumped were all related to film and television. The special case team deduced and analyzed that the identity of the person who shot the video was probably a film and television practitioner. They investigated the films that have been banned in recent years and from the list
It is very likely that the suspect will be found.
The special case team knew that the murderer did not kill anyone, and his motive for shooting the video might just be for fame and to attract viewers.
The special case team released the news through the media that the murderer would surrender, in order to give him a chance to reduce his sentence.
Movies always have an ending, and He Yizheng and Shen Cha's choice to surrender is the best and only ending.
Although He Yizheng did not kill anyone, he also committed the crimes of "stealing and insulting corpses" and "fabricating and deliberately spreading false terrorist information." The social impact is bad, and he will be punished for several crimes. He is expected to stay in prison for several years.
Surrendering yourself to seek leniency is the wisest choice.

Professor Liang said: "You two young people still have a long way to go in the future. Do you have anything to say?"
He Yizheng said: "Oh, you have been wronged and tired for so many years."
Shen Cha said: "Don't talk about going to prison, even if you go to hell, I will go with you and never leave you."
He Yizheng said: "Although it is not appropriate to say this in this place and at this time...will you marry me?"
