Chapter 42 - Are you worthy of being the main character?
Han Fei's voice was so low that Director Jiang didn't hear him clearly, but he wasn't in the mood to care what Han Fei said now.
The victim's family rushed onto the set and stopped the movie from being shot, which would have a great negative impact on the movie if not handled properly.
"Everyone calm down! The police have already started to re-investigate the human jigsaw puzzle case! I guess it won't take long to catch the real killer!"
Jiang Yi shouted loudly, he wanted everyone to calm down, but the anger inside the victim's family had already been provoked.
"We force ourselves not to think about those painful thoughts every day, and by making this movie, you are putting the pain of all of us under the sun." A middle-aged woman in her forties pointed at the crew and cursed: "But just because you said that making a movie would expand the impact and call for more people to pay attention, we are willing to give you our most desperate memories, regardless of our pain! But what have you all done?"
She held her tablet high, turned up the sound to the maximum, and then repeatedly played a video.
It starred Shing as a young cop, speaking melodramatic lines, making clumsy reasoning, and even gaining a lover in the process of chasing a murderer.
The profile ends with the female lead giving her life for the male lead, and the young cop completing an incredible counter-kill, followed by a somewhat embarrassing crying scene.
"Is this the answer you are giving us, the families of the victims? You are simply insulting the pain we have endured for the past ten years!" The middle-aged woman's voice was loud, and she wept at the end of her sentence.
"I'm sorry to have failed you all, and I do apologize as the director, I will do my best to revise it, but I also hope you can understand us, filmmakers, a little. It is difficult for production to fully recreate reality, moreover, the male and female leads must have a certain percentage of their scenes, which is the requirement of the investors." This drama of Jiang Yi is mainly invested by two film and television companies, respectively, the Han Guang Film and Television, where the male lead Wu Cheng is working, and the company behind the female lead, You Long Culture, which accounts for the bulk of it, and they mainly want to promote the actress of their own company.
"I don't care how you guys are shooting, but the murderer is clearly not caught, why are you guys making up such an ending?"
"We promised to help you expand the impact on the case which is already very generous, if you continue to stir up nonsense we will call the police!"
"How dare you call the police? You are cheating!"
"Talk properly, don't point at people!"
Several victims become more and more emotional, and both sides argue with each other and have started to push and shove each other.
Without the desired response, the victims held up banners to prevent further filming, and Wu Cheng, who was standing at the front, was also holding his anger because the victims' families wanted to reshoot his parts in the movie.
The two sides did not know who started the fight, but during the argument, Wei Youfu's father was pushed down.
The set was already very crowded, and a lot of filming equipment was set up. After the old man fell, the victim's family completely exploded with emotion, and they pushed Wu Cheng, who was standing at the front, to fall down as well.
Wu Cheng, who usually appears as an idol, was sitting on the ground, his makeup was ruined and his clothes had shoe marks on them: " What a mess, how dare you, wait for me!"
"You still have the nerve to talk? While solving cases, you are talking about love, your acting as a police officer is an insult to the police! I feel sick just by seeing you!"
"Ten years of homicide, I have no idea of how you can still playfully smile at something so serious and painful, is this your performance?"
The truth from the victim's family stirred up WuCheng's anger: " A group of a mob, your family really deserved to be ..."
Wu Cheng impulsively said this sentence, he realized halfway through and did not dare to say more, but still, the victim's family heard.
The scars in the heart were ripped open at once, the middle-aged woman who was closest to Wu Cheng grabbed Wu Cheng's hair with red eyes, she was having a hard time saying some words.
"Let go!" Wu Cheng was very strong, he shook off the middle-aged woman, trying to get up, with no idea that someone will kick him again.
The fire inside him could no longer be suppressed, he grabbed the iron bucket holding the artificial blood next to the prop team, and without looking, he smashed it hard behind himself.
"Boom!"
The bucket filled with blood hit a man's spine hard, the sound was painful just to hear.
The already emptied bucket rolled in the hallway as both sides quieted down and looked right into the middle of the crowd.
Han Fei, covered in plasma, stood in front of the middle-aged woman, sticky blood sliding down his face, those eyes of his startled everyone.
" Is that enough?"
A hoarse voice rang out in the hallway, Han Fei stepped on the blood pool on the ground and walked in front of Wu Cheng: "They are right, you really don't deserve to play a cop, your acting skills are like garbage in my opinion."
With straightforward words and an irrefutable tone, Han Fei's blood-stained face looked straight at Wu Cheng.
At this moment Wu Cheng found himself feeling scared, so scared that he couldn't even say a complete sentence.
"In order to solve this case, many people gambled their lives and deaths, your performance is simply an insult to their hard work."
Han Fei himself danced on the tip of a knife every night, the slightest mistake would kill him, he knows the cruelty and bloodshed of that case, which definitely cannot be summed up simply by the three words human jigsaw puzzle.
Ignoring the dumbfounded Wu Cheng, Han Fei turned to look at the victims' families again.
He knew the names of these people and had seen them in the photos.
"Son, are you, is your back okay?" The middle-aged woman came over in a heartbeat; if Han Fei hadn't helped her block it just now, the iron bucket filled with blood paste would have smashed directly into her.
"You are Gu Ye's sister Gu Yu, right?" Han Fei's expression eased slightly.
"How do you know?"
"I know each and every one of you, and I am well aware of your pain." Han Fei's speech slowed down, "I hope you can listen to my few words first, just now Director Jiang said that the police started to re-investigate the human jigsaw puzzle case, and it won't take long to catch the murderer, this is not to comfort you, but the truth."
"The truth? It's been ten years, and every year it's the same story."
"I can assure you all that the real killer will be caught this time!" Han Fei wiped the plasma off his face, "If this drama continues to go on making up nonsense until the real culprit is caught, then I will join you and boycott with you!"
He looked at the families of the victims and the ghost in 1044 Murder House came to mind.
This time he didn't try to perform, but spoke from his heart: "Believe me, I will give everyone an explanation."
