" A physical training for actors?"
Li Xue heard a new term, and she found herself more and more curious about Han Fei now.
It was obvious that his dream was to become a comedian, but he found clues to a serial murder case by acting in a thriller and suspense movie.
He looks civilized and even a bit weak, but his physical and mental qualities are extremely strong as if he has personally gone through a hellish experience.
Li Xue worked in criminal investigation and had seen all kinds of people who were so weird, however, she encountered people like Han Fei for the first time.
"I taught you these things, don't use them casually, and don't use them against the vitals of people. When in danger, your first choice is still to call the police." Li Xue saw that Han Fei was still practicing hard as if he was really ready to apply it in practice, so she hurriedly spoke out to remind him.
"En."
"You do not have to be too nervous, the police have strengthened the surrounding police force." Watching Han Fei repeat the serious training over and over again, Li Xue did not interrupt again: "I'll go first, when there is new progress in the case, I will be the first to inform you."
"Okay." Han Fei is still practicing, he wants to be trained in these skills to a body instinct, and only then he can better survive in that crisis-ridden netherworld.
By noon, Han Fei casually cooked some food at home, he now has a book next to the dining table even when he is eating.
He spent all the time he used to spend swiping short videos and playing normal games on learning criminal investigation, counter-surveillance, and anti-stalking, and in order to be able to survive, he became an extremely passionate learner.
Swirling in the ocean of knowledge, Han Fei felt more fulfilled than ever before, and this joy was different from that short-lived excitement, it was long-lasting and purposeful.
"You have to work quietly and then amaze all the people who want to kill you."
A little after three o'clock in the afternoon, Han Fei received a call from Jiang Yi, who wanted to have a good talk with Han Fei.
To be honest, a director who can treat an eighteen-line actor like this is already very important.
At almost four o'clock, Han Fei arrived at the North Street Flower of Evil shooting site, the victims' families were still gathered outside the apartment building, but this time they did not act impulsively, just holding banners, in silent protest, while there were people shooting video.
"Old man, the human jigsaw puzzle case has already reopened for investigation, and it shouldn't take long for the results to come out. You're old, you will not be able to hold up with your body constantly standing like this." Han Fei had been taken care of by Wei Youfu in the game, so in reality, he wanted to take more care of Wei Youfu's old father.
This grandfather and the son, Wei Youfu, are actually very similar in character, both are persistent and kind good people.
"I know your heart, but this is already the only thing I can do for Youfu." The old man's hand grabbed Han Fei's shoulder, and his somewhat cloudy eyes contained very complex emotions, he seemed to want to say something else, but in the end just sighed: "Thank you, young man, I like your performance of Youfu very much."
Han Fei had used his back to block the iron bucket filled with blood paste for the victims' families, and some of the victims' families had taken him as one of their own.
"The killer will be brought to justice, I promise you." Han Fei was just an actor, and to passersby, he had nothing to do with the case at all, but for some reason, the victims' families just found Han Fei's words to be somehow convincing.
Their eyes would become softer when they looked at Han Fei as if they could vaguely see the figure of those victims in Han Fei.
Entering the shooting site, the set manager led Han Fei to a room on the second floor.
As soon as the door was opened, thick smoke wafted out.
Jiang Yi and several other middle-aged men were sitting together, and there were several versions of the script on the table in between them.
" Xiao Han, the scriptwriter, and I revised the script overnight. You have a better relationship with the victim's family, and I want you to convince the victim's family about some of the controversial points." The ashtray was full of cigarette butts, the two screenwriters' hair was about to be scratched bald, and revising it over and over again was indeed a very troublesome task.
"Let me do the convincing?"
"This is already my greatest respect for the victims' families, if they still do not agree, then I have no choice but to force the shooting." Jiang Yi also had his own difficulties: "Although I am the director, this movie is not up to me alone."
Han Fei picked up the script on the table and read it. The opening was great, and the detection process was basically in line with reality, but the further it went, the more outrageous it became.
"The victim's family will not agree to this script, and there is no way I can convince them with this script." Han Fei threw the script in his hand on the table, "The complexity of the human jigsaw puzzle case is far beyond your imagination, instead of making things up like this, you should go and study that case."
"How do you know we didn't study it? It's not painful to stand and talk." The middle-aged screenwriter, who was somewhat ashamed, extinguished the cigarette in his hand: "Jiang, I've revised the script so many times, so I've done my best, and the contract we signed doesn't require the script to be approved by the victim's family."
"Yes, you just shoot according to this, what are we making a movie for? To solve cases? Expanding influence? Don't be ridiculous, let's talk about making money first." Another screenwriter also stood up, ready to leave.
"Director Jiang, the two screenwriters, I know it's not easy for you to keep revising the script, and I also know that you have made a lot of concessions, and if another crew came over, I'm afraid they wouldn't even care about what the victims' families think, you've actually done a good job." Han Fei opened the window of the cabin and let the wind blow away the thick smell of smoke inside: "But why can't you guys just wait a little longer? This play will have its real ending soon."
"Why do we have to wait for the real ending? Does the audience like to see the real ending? Do you know what the market is? Do you know what our positioning and audience group is for this drama?" Screenwriter Xie Ding picked up his own jacket and walked toward the door, he reached out and was ready to push Han Fei aside.
"I don't know what the market is, but I know that you pay for what you owe and you pay for what you kill." Han Fei stood in the doorway of the room, his gaze sweeping over that screenwriter's neck and weak spot.
What flowed out of his icy eyes in that instant, hardened the screenwriter's raised hand, making him afraid of putting it that way, and finally flicked the dust on his shoulder with some embarrassment.
"Director Jiang, if you think the movie is just a tool to make money, then it doesn't matter how you make it, but I won't be involved in such a movie." Han Fei said it clearly, "Although many people think I'm a gigolo, a gangster, and a flop, I feel that I'm an actor, and I'm also now acting in a movie that absolutely must not fail."
Han Fei finished speaking and left the cabin. Director Jiang looked at Han Fei's back and took out his cell phone.
The production director and the lead actor, Wu Cheng, lingered in his eyes for a long time. In the end, he didn't dial the number to ask Wu Cheng to come back and act in the movie according to the original script but called the production director instead.
"Sister Long, can you give me a few more days?"
"More time? How much time have I already given you? Now that the main actors are on strike, the victims' families are causing trouble, and negative news keeps coming out online, it's hard on my side too!"
"Three days, you give me three more days! I have found a new candidate for the lead role, whether it is character or acting skills, he is far more qualified than Wu Cheng, the main thing is that he really has the temperament of tracking down a murder case! He is simply the perfect lead character in my mind!"
