Waiting for passers-by to detect the abnormality, the murderer has slipped away...
This article is about 7000 words and takes about 10 minutes to read
A corner of the city.
A man with a rudimentary video camera on his back was running desperately, his face full of trepidation.
Behind him, he was followed by two wildly laughing men, one holding a gun and the other carrying a larger camera.
“3—2—1——Action！”
With this iconic shout, an exciting hunt began.
The chased people have been shouting for help, but none of the passers-by have taken his cries for help seriously; the people chasing behind them have accelerated while constantly making motion and expression requests for the people being chased...
Finally, after a gunshot, the farce ended. The chased man immediately fell to the ground, blood constantly oozing from him; the two who caught up with him continued to shoot close-ups of various angles after he fell to the ground. Even lifted him up to shoot the slow motion of falling to the ground...
This scene, no matter how you look at it, can only be filming. But you'll soon find out that everything in front of you is not so simple!
The man who was hit and fell to the ground did not move again for half a day. His face began to turn pale, and his limbs gradually stiffened and chilled—it wasn't special effects makeup, he was really dead.
The two people who had previously photographed him had disappeared into the crowd in the downtown area at some point. It was as if the absurd and bizarre chase had never happened...
I don't know if such an introduction has aroused your slight interest? In fact, from the title alone, you can see the most bizarre point of this film: buying murder is not to kill people, but to shoot people. The specific operation method, at the beginning of the main text, everyone has already seen it.
But who wants to buy murder people? What's the point of photographing all this? Don't rush to listen to me slowly.
Everything, but also from a killer, his name is Big B, is a professional killer for 20 years.
In the world set by the film, as long as some big people feel that there is something to obstruct their eyes, or think that killing people can quickly solve their problems, they will launch a commission to Big B.
Professional killer Big B, likes to wear a trench coat and a top hat.
Over the years, Big B has lived a prosperous life by relying on his increasingly skilled and decisive methods of killing. Not only did he marry a beautiful wife, but he also had several properties under his name.
But after an economic crisis, Big B's life begins to slump — he's almost unemployed — the decline of the economy, though not dissolved, and the entangled sorrows and resentments among the people have made them no longer able to afford to pay the killers who helped them settle their wishes.
Many of the big B's single-kill missions, the customer has no money to end the paragraph. For a long time, Big B felt that he had been doing a loss-making business. But even so, he can only continue to take orders, after all, if no one is killed, maybe his life with his wife will not be able to continue.
Big B and his wife's private life is the same as that of ordinary people.
If they are reduced to selling real estate to make up for their income, it will be too shabby.
In order to make a living, big B, who has never taken the initiative to pull the business, even started an advertising call to sell murder.
In the end, he rarely dealt with the famous lady Kuota, but by chance, he received a strange order.
"It doesn't matter how you kill people, but make sure I see the man's death." If the process is not exciting, I will not pay. ”
The kota who said this request actually invited big B to the fitting room of the mall to talk about business! She said as she undressed! This picture really can't be more absurd.
The fitting room conversation that embarrassed Big B.
In addition to explaining the business needs, Kuota also nagged herself for half a day, explaining the beginning and end of her enmity with her enemies.
Even though the big B next to her has always said that he doesn't want to listen, but he is about to lose his job after all, even as a powerful killer, he must bend his waist for five buckets of rice...
The thing that made Kuota's heart move happened about a month ago.
That day, she drank a little more at the cocktail party, and then went to the open room with the male companion she had just met. Originally, Kuo Tai thought that the two had just had a one-night stand and did not take everything to heart.
But after that night, she found herself secretly filmed by her male companion, and the intimate video was quickly spread throughout the streets, and Kuota was disgraced.
Therefore, simply killing the male companion was not enough to relieve the hatred in Kuota's heart, she mainly wanted to photograph the man's death and the process of tragic death, and such a shooting could also be regarded as a disguised revenge for the person's secret shooting.
Big B can understand Kuota's motivation for this request, but he really doesn't understand photography, and after taking the order, he began to worry.
How can it be considered a wonderful shot? What kind of representation is needed to record the process of a person's death?
For Big B, each assassination is just a combination of simple actions: he breaks in, draws a gun, shoots, and confirms that the target is dead, and the process is boring and boring to Big B.
Despite his doubts, Big B began to prepare. He first bought a small video camera and fixed it to his shoulder. Therefore, this assassination is only two more steps for him: boot and shut down.
Throughout the killing, he was still as skillful and fluid as before, and although he encountered the gun resistance of the deceased in a thrilling way, the better marksmanship of big B completed the commission unscathed. More importantly, he also worked hard to record the whole process of killing.
But when Big B confidently handed over the film to Kuota and asked for the balance, the other party's reaction poured cold water on his head.
"What is this?" I can't see clearly, the picture is mushy... I didn't feel that the bastard was dead at all, it was so bad... Don't ask me for money, you're at this level, it's terrible! ”
Seeing that this single business was about to be yellow again, Kuota suddenly turned sharply and gave Big B new hope:
"If you help me kill another person, if you can shoot well this time, the previous debt will be written off, and I will reward you greatly!"
Faced with this only chance to return the money, big B can only accept it, unless he has to live with money.
But the problem he has to face is also very realistic, his own shooting level is really limited, in the end what can achieve customer satisfaction?
Big B, who has a flexible mind, quickly thought of finding a partner.
And his criteria for finding candidates are also very clear: the man must be a fool, but not too stupid, at least he must be able to use the camera; the man must also have some weaknesses, so that he can be easily manipulated and used for himself.
With this goal in mind, Big B began to linger in bars everywhere, and some of them were out-of-the-box youths, who were good choices, most of whom did not have stable jobs, were bold and thieves, and may have the vices of being playful, lustful, and even gambling and drug use.
Maybe God took care of him too much, and soon after he first observed, Big B found that there was a four-eyed boy, which was very suitable for his needs.
Looking for a partner, Big B and Little Lee who is photographed.
The man looked dumbfounded, holding the cannabis leaf in his hand unabashedly, looking confused—he looked really stupid enough, and that was him.
Big B quickly became acquainted with the Four-Eyed Boy and found out his name and address.
The four-eyed boy is named Xiao Li, and he is still a high-achieving student who returned from the west, but unfortunately, he studied the choreography and directing profession, and after returning to Hong Kong, he has been a hero who has been useless, giving people temporary work in various sets, always undertaking the work of playing soy sauce such as field notes and assistant directors.
Xiao Li's background is surprisingly in line with the needs of Big B, and he is simply overjoyed. But Big B also knew that Xiao Li must not dare to kill people and break the law, so he did not confess everything to him, only saying that he wanted to find him to make some special private videos.
Xiao Li, who has a director's dream, naturally has no resistance to big B's proposal, no matter how short the film, as long as he can lead the shooting, is not it a realization of his dream? It's amazing!
After the two hit it off, an unprecedented buying and shooting began.
The first is Big B, who expertly completes the process of stepping on and sneaking in. During this period, Xiao Li has been following him, shooting east and west, and did not realize that there was something wrong.
The target appeared, and Big B suddenly drew his gun quickly, only to give Xiao Li a simple signal to start the assassination.
"Wait a minute! You all have to listen to me, now, move the position! Xiao Li's sudden attack made Big B and the slain object look confused.
But both of them obediently cooperated with his request, the subject of the murder was out of fear of the muzzle of the gun, and big B was to listen to his arrangement because he had promised Xiao Li that all the details involved in the shooting were involved.
"Good, good, perfect light. The props are complete and the actors are in place. Come on, Action! ”
Xiao Li shouted out the dream slogan of shooting with great excitement, and then he heard a gunshot, and the warm plasma also sprayed directly into his face door.
"Nice! Let's do another set of slow-motion shots! When Xiao Li excitedly played back the camera footage, Big B suddenly became serious.
"Go fast, fool. Want to wait for the police to catch you? ”
Xiao Li touched the man who fell to the ground with a puzzled face, and it turned out that he was really dead, becoming a corpse that could not be blinded...
It wasn't until he ran far that Xiao Li regained his composure, and at the same time felt afraid, and he immediately said that he didn't want to do it.
But as soon as he heard that Big B planned to turn in the original film, Xiao Li really had a hard time accepting this fact, because for him, it was not a work at all, nor was it a completed film.
"You have to wait for me to edit it. It's still my shot! As a filmmaker, Xiao Li insisted on his thoughts, and his fear seemed to disappear with it.
In order to hand over the perfect work, Xiao Li stayed up late editing.
And when Xiao Li showed the edited finished film to Kuo Tai, he unexpectedly won the amazement and appreciation of everyone present:
"Wow, that's so real!"
"It's better than a blockbuster!"
"Can you kill for us?" I also want to see the enemy being made into a movie! ”
……
Xiao Li, who originally wanted to give up, suddenly developed a strong sense of confidence and belonging to this job because he won the recognition of the first batch of "movie fans", and he decided to officially join the company.
In fact, Xiao Li does need the remuneration from this job, only in this way can he slowly realize his dream of filming as a tour guide.
Gradually, big B and Little Li bought the business of murdering people, and it became bigger and bigger.
Most of them are found by some broad-minded people who love vanity and like to compare, and unlike the bosses who have suffered from economic crisis and are in a slump, these broad-handed people never need to think about it for a few seconds when they spend money. Therefore, their money is really good to earn.
As the duo's business and fame continued to expand, the opening scene of the article soon became popular culture in the noblewoman circle.
They all seem to be happy to see the "smelly men" and "dead women" who are hated by themselves, all died under the gun of the killer; they all agree that those bloody and bizarre killing scenes are a stimulant of ordinary life, which can make life more interesting...
Yes, in the narrow, distorted and strange society described in the film, something like playing mahjong always loses to the other party, such trivial things can become the motivation for buying murder, so what else will not happen?
Big B and Xiao Li, who earned a lot of money, also tasted the sweetness of eating crabs. But fate's favor for them did not last.
Peers began to envy them, and members of a well-known underworld seemed to be eyeing them...
Peers appeared to grab business scenes.
Although the buyer is original to Big B and Xiao Li, it is not inimitable and copiable.
Soon, there were killer offices everywhere that undertook the business of "buying murder and filming people", and they also formulated lower-priced and more camera shooting options, and even some people even started preferential package packages...
So it seems that the peers who compete with big B and small Li may have a hard time, and after smelling the breath of industrial innovation, they will naturally not let go of the opportunity to make money and turn over.
After a few months or so, Big B and Little Li gradually lost business. Just when the two were frowning, a bastard brother who was very famous in the underworld suddenly found them.
Biao's purchase of murder is entrusted.
Biao's gang urgently needs all its members to complete a mission to assassinate the enemy. The stakes were high, and the gang agreed at the time that whoever could complete the assassination first could be the next gang leader.
Therefore, Biao Ge found Big B and Xiao Li, he had long heard about the business level of the two, and he really needed to take a wonderful picture of the assassination, so that after he was firmly at the top of the gang, he could repeatedly take out the video to show off and publicize the former prestige.
Biao Ge is willing to pay a huge honorarium for this, but at the same time, his requirements are also very demanding.
"The man's name was Ah Xiong, he used to carry a double gun, and he was a high-profile person. These two days, he will celebrate his birthday in a restaurant. I want you two to be there and kill him in front of all the guests!" Of course, I must also make a good film for me! ”
"But so many people, the risk is too big..." After listening to Biao's plan, Big B and Little Li felt inappropriate.
The target object, known as the double gun male. And his girlfriend is known for being fierce.
They were also quick to come up with ideas that would replace the plan, saying they would still do it on Ah Xiong's birthday, but it would be better to change places, such as in his apartment or in a parking lot he had to pass through.
After changing places, the success rate of assassination will be higher, and the fluctuations and impacts caused by the action will be smaller.
But Biao Ge rejected their proposal, and his commission did not want to be low-key, and the larger the scene, the stronger his announcement to the world.
Biao Ge also specially instructed: "Before you start, you must shout: 'It is X gang Biao Ge, call me to kill you!' This sentence must be photographed. Rest assured, I will not treat you badly, and there is nothing wrong with young people taking risks. ”
In the face of the generous remuneration, Both Big B and Little Li hesitated for a short time, and then quickly accepted the commission.
Their move is also considered in the long run, now the business of the Kuo Tai is already difficult to do, the competition among peers is too fierce, and if The Biao Brother takes over as the helper, will the two people who fully help him to the throne still worry about the source of business in the future?
So for them, this high-profile assassination is a challenge and an opportunity.
Waiting, anxious, nervous. The day of the appointment is finally coming. Big B and Xiao Li calmly blended into the restaurant and waited with the guests on the spot for the arrival of the main host of the banquet.
Big B habitually touched the trigger, the bullet was already loaded; Xiao Li's lens was also aimed at the door, and both of them were waiting for the moment of the best shot.
Big B lurking on the mahjong table.
"Bang-bang-" The sudden sound of two gunshots made Big B and Xiao Li stunned at the same time: those two shots were not agreed upon by them, and they had already seen another killer appear!
Saying that it was too late and fast, Big B saw the target fall, and then turned to raise his gun and kill his colleagues.
The scene was suddenly chaotic, and people couldn't figure out what was happening, but they all understood that there were bad people hiding around them who killed people without blinking.
It seems that Big B and Little Li have completed the task, their target is dead, and they themselves are unscathed, but their film material has not yet been fully filmed, after all, Big B has not yet had time to say the line that was asked to be said, of course, he did not shoot his target.
Big B, who had always been calm, felt desperate and frustrated, and he thought the mission had failed. Could it be that their super big orders will be adrift because of this?
Xiao Li, who came from the director's department, rarely did not panic, in his opinion, this time he can finally show his skills: "Make up the shooting, I will go find some extras, you can make up those shots!" Our mission is not over! ”
Soon, the duo began another creative move.
When saving the scene, Xiao Li suddenly became confident director.
"The pro-performance is in place. Line preparation. 3—2—1—Action！ Still Xiao Li loudly directed, big B and the group performers began to play.
That scene, as if it really assassinated the gangs there, turned into the shooting scene of an action movie.
But just when the two thought they could finish the work satisfactorily, the biao brother who heard the wind came.
At this time, he listened to the advice of his subordinates, thinking that if the role of the killer was replaced by himself through the remake, it might be better to complete the effect and better reflect his contribution to the assassination operation. Why not enjoy such a multitude of things in one fell swoop?
Because of Biao Ge's temporary intentions, the atmosphere in the restaurant where the assassination occurred suddenly became strange and lively.
The guests who had originally attended the banquet were all crouching in the corner with their heads held and scared; the killers and Ah Xiong, who had been shot and killed earlier, were lying upright in the banquet hall.
And the gang brothers who came to hear the news later have already dressed up as guests, applauding while exaggerating and shouting simple lines;
Biao Ge changed into the killer's trench coat and held the gun in a majestic manner, and even two white pigeons flew under his gun;
Ah Xiong, played by the group, first of all, waved at the crowd with great exaggeration, and at the same time approached the position of Biaoge, he saw Biaoge's gun, and then exaggerated to pull out the gun, the result was still a step slower, and was hit by Biaoge's bullet...
The killing scene changes seconds to the scene of the filming scene.
But this seemingly simple set of plots, a large group of people actually NG countless times. I saw that the time had gone from midnight to early the next morning.
The main reason for the unsatisfactory shooting is the various requirements of Biao Brother and his subordinates, which is too much, they want to add drama here for a while, and they want to change props for a while, as if the more they shoot, the more like that, completely turning the assassination into an absurd farce.
However, the protagonist of the farce has quietly changed his candidate.
Because he really did not want to accept Biao's strange request, Big B and Xiao Li were quickly ostracized by his younger brothers. They were confiscated of their camera equipment, guns and even clothing, as if everything had suddenly nothing to do with them.
At that time, the two still felt indignant, but they did not expect such an encounter, but they helped them.
The tea house closed for no reason, and there was a suspicious gunshot, and finally the police began to pay attention.
When a group of police officers rushed into the private room of the tea house, the most critical scene was just filmed, and the killer played by Biao Ge held up a gun but had not yet pulled the trigger.
"Hey, hey, in public, dare to kill!" Put down your gun! ”
"Asir, we're filming, don't believe it, you see the effect of this bullet -- bang-pop-"
The so-called filming was interrupted by the rush to the police.
Biao Ge pulled the trigger with a sneering smile, he seemed to be too deep into the play, and had forgotten that the gun in his hand was not a prop at all, but a real guy like a fake bag.
The group actor who was hit by him quickly collapsed in a pool of blood, and the detained guests and several bodies shot on the ground have also been found by the police.
"You're all arrested, be honest with me!" An angry police officer kicked off Biao's gun, believing that everything in front of him was indicative of the horrific murder that had taken place here.
At the time of Biao's arrest, Big B and Xiao Li had successfully walked out of the restaurant, and they managed to change into the waiter's clothes and completely get rid of the bloody case.
And this ridiculous farce in the restaurant finally completely reversed the fate of several key people.
Big B is still doing a killer, but he has not moved the real knife and real gun, he played the killer in the film and television drama, and became a professional actor;
Xiao Li relied on his previous primitive accumulation to start chasing dreams, and soon after finally won the award and became a well-known newcomer director;
As for Biao Ge, he has become the most legendary gangster fool in history, and he actually left evidence when he made a film when he killed people and crossed the goods, which is really not stupid. Because his incriminating evidence is too conclusive, Biao Ge will have to stay in prison for 20 years before he can regain his freedom...
The story of the film "Buy murder shoot people" has come to an end completely. I don't know if everyone who saw the end also thinks that this story is fantastic and wonderful?
In the comment area of Douban Movie, many viewers who gave high scores recognized the magical plot setting in the movie, and they believed that those exaggerated characters and plot preparations could allude to some undesirable phenomena that have appeared in society, and then produce the effect of satirizing reality.
For example, there are many jokes in the film about the stagnation of Hong Kong films, which explicitly express the hollow and false prosperity of the industry;
For example, the film constructs a small society that is life-threatening, where only money is the most convincing, and life, dignity, etc. can be trampled on arbitrarily and can be bought. Associated with today's society, there are indeed some people who are attracted and paralyzed by extreme money worship, and there are also many people who will stop at nothing to corrupt the atmosphere for money. If this ethos is not stifled, will the world we live in as grotesque and crumbling as it is in the movies?
The two white pigeons that appeared at the scene of the murder seemed ironic.
Another example is that the protagonists of the film, Big B and Little Li, although they are doing blood-stained work, but Big B is to support his family, Xiao Li wants to realize his dream of the film and television circle, they were once ordinary people, to some extent, they were forced by life to become people who are not ghosts and ghosts. They also survive because they have the wisdom of a survival philosophy to fight against rotten reality. So many of us who struggle and survive in reality are not similar and identical to them? But even in order to survive, the bottom line to be kept, is each of us really clear?
In addition to the above, there is another point that Lulu xiu finds most interesting, it is a small dialogue that only appears for a few minutes in the film.
Big B's mother-in-law wants her son-in-law to kill someone for her, and the reason she wants to kill people is simply because the "mother-in-law" has recently won her money.
When he saw this, Lulu Xiu only felt that his hair was standing upright, and he couldn't imagine that someone would actually want to take the life of another person for such a trivial matter. And if you think about the strangest "buying murder and shooting people" in this film, how it is step by step, it is prevalent in the circle of noble ladies and celebrities in the upper class, and it is even more frightening.
The people of the city want to kill people, and the ladies and ladies also want to kill people.
The original idea originated from a kotai's curiosity for revenge, and its popularity after that slowly relied on the comparison psychology and herd choice between people.
But why are there so many kotai who want to see the enemy killed and made into a movie?
Only a few of them, perhaps to satisfy the psychology of perversion and the pursuit of excitement, while most of them are probably still chasing and following the increasingly popular cultural symbols. Life and money, for the rich, seem to have become dung.
Fortunately, this story, this society is fictionalized by movies, but as far as I know, the comparison between people in reality actually happens every day, and many people are troubled every day.
So, have you seen any "comparison" phenomena in front of the screen? Tell me what you think of "comparison"? The message area is waiting for you
