Xiaoyu is a deaf and mute person. Because she cannot communicate normally with others, she feels more lonely deep in her heart. In addition to cutting hair for others, she goes to a beer machine, or goes to a barber shop and stares outside in a daze. This state is not changed until the steel slag appears.

Gangzhao came to get a haircut for the first time, and then the flat head was cleaned and finally shaved it into a bald place. He also shaved his beard and gave it less than four portions. Gangzhao was deaf and mute, but she was not stupid and knew what the hell was thinking about.

After a few times, one day, the two of them closed the door, got rid of what they wanted to do, and then they completely got together. Between the clouds and rains, Steel Zha would "talk" with Xiaoyu, which was to gesture. Xiaoyu didn't understand sign language, but he just gestured freely. When he met an unexpressed meaning, he improvised it. Xiaoyu's movements were very messy, but Steel Zha could understand it, and he felt that he was in the same mood, so the two of them gestured and spoke.

Xiao Yu was with Steel Slag. In addition to tossing on the bed, he also liked to use Steel Slag's head as a test field and cut his hair as he pleased. She saw some weird hairstyles in magazines or other places and wanted to try them out, but she couldn't do anything randomly on the customer's head. Now Steel Slag is her lover, so she practices with Steel Slag's head. So, every time she meets, she always looks at how long the Steel Slag's hair is. If she thinks it's okay, she presses the Steel Slag on the bench and cuts it randomly.

Zhang Yimou heard someone behind him muttering quietly, turned around and looked around. Although he didn't see it very clearly, he could clearly feel that most of the audience could not sit still. This scene was really tormenting.

Watching silent movies is not difficult, and the fun of watching movies in the silent film era is not reduced in the slightest due to the absence of sound. As long as the audience devotes themselves and adds the subtitles prompts, they can naturally connect the plot forward and back. However, the scene in "One Person Decoration" not only has no dialogue, no music, and even the subtitles are omitted. The audience cannot use words to get prompts. They can only guess the changes in the characters' emotions and the love and hate generated in the inner world through careful exploration of the characters' expressions, gestures, behaviors and their surrounding environment.

For the audience, this is a challenging task that ordinary people can't stand!

Zhang Yimou shook his head gently. The audience seemed very dissatisfied. Zhang Ran would definitely be scolded very badly this time!

In the back row of the theater, a movie fan was complaining to his companion: "There is no sound, no subtitles, and I don't know what to do. How can I do such a movie? Are you wrong?"

My companion was also very dissatisfied: "Yes, it doesn't look like Zhang Ran's past movies at all. The pace is so slow and there is no sound yet. I want to sleep. How could Zhang Ran make such an ugly movie?"

A person next to him said, "Yes, it's so ugly! I didn't expect that Zhang Ran would also make bad movies!"

Not only them, but many people are shaking their heads in thousands of cinemas across the country. Everyone is disappointed with the movie. I won’t say that the movie is slow. The key is that there is no sound at all, there is no subtitles. It looks very difficult and I can’t understand many things. This is completely different from Zhang Ran’s previous refreshing movies, and everyone can’t accept it!

Many reporters at the scene saw excited lights in their eyes after hearing the dissatisfied discussions of the audience. Zhang Ran’s good movies were not considered news, but bad movies were the news. Now, the audience’s reaction was very big. Perhaps Zhang Ran’s first bad movie was about to be born. Even smart reporters at the scene have begun to conceive the title of the news.

Zhang Ran's new film has a crushing reputation, and he is too showy and badly criticized!

"One Man's Lights and Decoration" was criticized for being tragically criticized, and Zhang Ran was questioned about his lack of skills!

At the same time, Jia Zhangke's body kept trembling. He was completely shocked by the scene and felt that he was about to explode. The movie used a large number of handheld shots to see the world from a smaller perspective. The body movements of the whole scene overshadowed the expression of language. The intensity of body language prompted the rise and fall of the characters' emotions and became a new tool for expressing their feelings. As the camera moved and with the movements of the characters, the surface was silent, but the whole movie had strong emotions surging.

When actions become the only expressive tool and the audience cannot clearly translate them, various interpretations become possible! Zhang Ran deliberately does not send clear information, but completely distributes the space for thinking and judgment to the audience. To a certain extent, the audience is improvising while watching the movie.

Zhang Ran’s approach is too bold!

Madman! Zhang Ran is a madman!

He actually dared to do this! He actually dared to take pictures like this!

Zhang Ran is really a lunatic! It’s really crazy!

Jia Zhangke suddenly remembered Tarkovsky's science fiction masterpiece "Soralis". Before the movie was released in Cannes in 1972, it was asked to cut the long five-minute black and white footage of the highway in the movie, but Tarkovsky resolutely refused. He said, "I deliberately made it so long that the fools in the audience can leave early."

Letting the fools in the audience leave early is of course just the angry words Tarkovsky said. Those five-minute shots are not actually used to show that the car has been driving for a long time, but to clear up the distractions so that the sudden tranquility after a long wait is unforgettable.

What about Zhang Ran? What kind of world will he reveal after this long and silent shot?

Jia Zhangke has read the novel "One Man Decorated with Lights" and knows the subsequent development of the story, but at this moment he is completely attracted by the movie, and his curiosity about the subsequent development of the movie has reached a new peak. He sat forward, adjusted his posture, stared at the screen, and wanted to see what method Zhang Ran would use to present the subsequent plot!

The movie continues. On that day, "The Last Moxigan People" is being played on TV. After watching it, Xiaoyu pressed the steel slag on a stool to cut the Moxigan hairstyle. After cutting it, Xiaoyu felt that it was not good, so he simply did it all the time and scraped the steel slag a bald man. In this way, the scars and red birthmarks on the steel slag's head were exposed.

The steel slag thought it was not good-looking, so she handed it to her for less than fifty yuan and asked her to buy herself a hat and a pair of sunglasses. Xiaoyu went down to the foot of the mountain and bought these two things. The hat was from Metersbonwe and had a long duck tongue-shaped brim.

Suddenly, a harsh sirens sound, the silent world was broken, and the perspective returned to Lao Huang.

The police lights flashed, and a cordon was set up on the edge of the river beach. Old Huang and Xiao Cui were standing on the river beach, watching the corpse with their faces flipped up, and their expressions and limbs were solidified into a very awkward appearance. That was Yu Xinliang.

In front of the screen, the sleepy audience suddenly returned to their senses, feeling that the movie was finally interesting and focused on it like never before.

The pace of the film began to accelerate significantly, and the on-site inspection was proceeding in an orderly manner. A group of people combed the river beach in a grate shape, carefully searching for fingerprints, footprints, remains and other traces.

After some inspection, Lao Huang and the others sat by the river for an analysis meeting. Lao Huang analyzed the criminals based on the footprints left by the prisoners at the scene and believed that both criminals should be middle-aged men in their thirties, one of whom was taller, one of whom was over 1.8 meters tall, and the other was shorter.

When the evacuation scene was taken, Lao Huang called Xiao Cui and two other young police officers to squeeze into a car and drove slowly along the highway. After handling the crime scene, he searched along the road. It was a habit that Lao Huang had formed over the years and gained a lot. After driving for a few minutes, Lao Huang suddenly asked the driver to stop the car. He jumped out of the car and walked towards a dark spot three meters away. It was a hat that young people often wore, black, with a long tongue, and a Metbon brand logo on the inside.

Lao Huang believed that this hat was a genuine product and was worth dozens of yuan. If an ordinary person lost his hat, he would pick it up, but no one picked it up. It should be that the criminal was in a hurry and had no time to pick it up. This hat was probably the murderer!

The audience who had read novels on the screen were relatively calm, while those who had never read novels were surprised. Some female audiences even covered their mouths. Everyone remembered it very clearly that the hat Xiaoyu bought for Gangzha was exactly the same as this one. Could it be that Gangzha killed Yu Xinliang? Xiaoyu's lover killed his own brother?

Lao Huang and Xiao Cui used the hat as a breakthrough in the investigation and soon obtained a message from Metersbonwe General Agent. This model of hat is the main model launched last year. The cargo volume in the entire Shancheng was 194, and there were 51 invoices and receipt records. Lao Huang and his team immediately opened an investigation into Metersbonwe stores across the city to inquire about the information of the buyer of this hat.

When I found the eighth store, the clerk provided a message that a female mute had come to buy this type of hat. If a normal person bought a small item, it would be difficult to remember it firmly or misunderstand it. However, a female mute came to buy a men's hat and bought two at once. Moreover, the clerk also bargained with the clerk with gestures. The clerk had been talking to her for a long time, and the shop would not have any discounts in the store, which was different from a street stall, so the clerk remembered it very clearly.

The audience in front of the screen was a little worried. They knew that the mute should be Xiaoyu. Could it be that Xiaoyu's lover really killed his own brother?

Lao Huang and Xiao Cui also thought of Xiao Yu, but they had different ideas from the audience. They didn’t know the existence of steel slag, and they didn’t know that Xiao Yu had bought a hat for steel slag. They thought that if the hat was really Xiao Yu bought it, it might be worn by Yu Xinliang; after all, Yu Xinliang was out for rent, and Xiao Yu bought a hat for his brother, which was completely reasonable.

With the help of the clerk, Lao Huang and his team quickly confirmed that the mute who bought the hat was Xiaoyu. When Xiao Cui took out the hat and let Xiaoyu see it, Xiaoyu's tears flowed out and he almost collapsed. The hat was given to Yu Xinliang by her.

The audience breathed a sigh of relief. Since the hat was Yu Xinliang, this case should have nothing to do with steel slag.

The clue of the hat was broken, and Lao Huang and the others had no other useful clues for the time being, and the whole case suddenly fell into a deadlock. Not long after, an unexpected discovery of Lao Huang made the case progress. He found that there was a little inconspicuous round blood spot on the left outside of the hat, causing the fur on the cloth of the hat to become thickened. The hat was black and stained with a little blood, which was really not easy to identify.

Lao Huang quickly took the hat to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau for inspection and wanted to compare it with Yu Xinliang's blood sample. The result came out soon, and the blood stains came from Xinliang.

According to the autopsy, Yu Xinliang's nose was blown up, and another injury was on the right side of the neck, and he was fatally cut. If it were Yu Xinliang's own blood, how could it be splashed on his hat? The blood spots were very round, and it can be seen that it was splashed on it, not on it. There was a hat brim blocking it in the middle, and it was impossible for the blood to spray to that position.

Lao Huang's heart seemed to be a mirror. The hat was not Yu Xinliang, 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 irritated. Could it be that Gangzao killed Xiaoyu's brother? Why did he do this? While buying him a hat, Gangzao bought his brother an exact same one. Do you hope that his lover and brother can live in peace? If Gangzao killed Xiaoyu, it would be really sad!
