43
Li Nian no longer remembered what his father's name was.
It is not necessary for a person to remember the names of animals.
But he will remember those who made him hate all his life.
He was only three years old at that time, and he and his parents were still living in a pigeon house in Yangpu.
Li Nian always thought that Su Yuanyuan was very beautiful. In the photos, memories, and rumors, Su Yuanyuan and Su Tingting were sisters praised by everyone in the neighborhood. Li Nian never understood how a gentle and beautiful mother could fall in love with that scumbag father.
Love is love, and the child was born. Su Yuanyuan gave birth to a child early, and her younger sister, who followed the big boss, was already a wealthy wife when she came back from Hong Kong. The boss hired someone else, and Su Tingting started the business with 100,000 yuan.
Su Yuanyuan never thought that she and her sister would fall in love with the same person.
— No, Li Nian is not sure whether it is love or not. Can a hookup between a scumbag and a bitch count as love? Su Tingting is such a whore, she put Li Nian who was just toddler in the living room, and went into the bedroom with her brother-in-law.
When Su Yuanyuan came back from get off work, she saw her biological sister in her home, bedroom, and bed without any suspense.
naked with her husband.
Su Yuanyuan didn't say anything, Su Yuanyuan walked onto the balcony and jumped from the fifth floor.
Li Nian could never forget his mother lying in a pool of blood with a broken head. And his father raised his trousers with a pale face, not even daring to go to the balcony.
Li Nian was not yet three years old at the time, and he still didn't understand why Su Yuanyuan died.
The days that followed were even more difficult to describe. Su Tingting became Li Nian's stepmother, and Li Nian's father was eating Su Tingting's soft food, but he still couldn't forget her sister.
He and Su Tingting also had a son, who lost one of Li Nian's hearts and became Li Jin.
"My heart is all for Yuanyuan."
When this scumbag said such a thing, he still felt that he was amazing.
Li Jin grew up tall and well-behaved since he was a child, just like his mother, with a sweet mouth. Li Nian hated his biological father and stepmother for a long time, but he didn't hate this younger brother, the younger brother who followed him all the time and called his brother sweetly.
Li Nian gave him everything, including a meager scholarship.
After all, he still needs family affection. Parents are animals, but brothers are still brothers. The stepmother's overt and covert abuse did not stop him from still having a fantasy-like desire for family affection.
This fantasy was completely shattered by Li Jin when he was nineteen years old. Li Jin pinned him in the toilet and did something that he would never forgive for the rest of his life.
At that time, Li Jin ate and dressed well, and he was already tall and big, but at the age of nineteen, he was as thin as a monkey. He couldn't catch any of Li Jin's punches at all, one punch was enough to knock him unconscious.
Li Jin raped him for an entire hour in the toilet. That hour was longer than ten thousand years, and it killed all his family affection and goodwill, and also killed his only hope for conscience. In his vague coma, he heard Li Jin's elated voice.
"You deserve to be my brother too, I've wanted to fuck you to death for a long time. Get out with your damn mother."
He knew that his lower body was covered in blood.
That summer was a hell he couldn't bear to look back on, it was supposed to be the happiest vacation of his college career, but he lived in persecution and humiliation every day.
Li Nian rarely thought about these things. Every time he thought of this, he felt chills all over.
He never went back to that home in Shanghai, it was not his home.
He was never homeless.
Now he was standing at the door of Zang Yuanchao's office with the lights on inside. It took him a lot of effort before Zang Yuanchao agreed to see him alone.
This is the ending he expected, but it is also the ending he never expected.
For the role of Lu Gang, he thought it would be Jiang Ruiyun, Du Yu, Fang Wenyan, Bai Yang, or even Zhong Yue.
neither.
Zang Yuanchao gave the role to Li Jin.
This is the only result he can't accept.
Jin Shi'an always thought that he hated Qin Nong.
No, I can only blame Qin Nong for being unlucky and not being able to be with anyone, but Li Jin.
He knew what Li Jin wanted, Li Jin wanted him to watch him all the time, hate him - how could he let Li Jin do what he wanted? Both of them, brothers in a bad relationship, want each other to lose what they most desire, not family affection, not love, not even life.
After so many years, he wanted Li Jin to disappear, and Li Jin did the same, wanting him to be down and out.
He stood outside for a long time, smoking a bunch of cigarettes, Zang Yuanchao came out to go to the bathroom, only to see him standing in the shadow of the lamp.
"Mr. Li, why don't you come in?"
Zang Yuan waved towards him.
The name of Zang Yuanchao belongs to the category with unique characteristics of the times—founding the country, resisting the United States, aiding Korea, and reforming. The ages of these people are clear at a glance, and they are all written on the names.
It doesn't quite match his age. Zang Yuanchao is over 60 years old, but has a strong physique, thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, explosive muscles are particularly prominent, with a disheveled beard and long hair, he looks more like a martial artist actor.
Regardless of his title as a film guru, just with such a huge figure, sitting in front of others will make people feel a lot of pressure. What's more, this master who has been in the film industry for many years has a pair of eagle-like eyes.
"Director Zang, why is it Li Jin?"
Li Nian asked sincerely.
Zang Yuanchao asked Li Nian to sit down, apparently he didn't like Li Nian's question: "Why can't it be him?"
An investor came to question his casting vision, which was nothing short of provocative.
Li Nian softened his tone even more, and asked in another way: "May I ask you why Bai Yang can't do it?"
Zang Yuanchao knew that Li Nianlai was here for this matter, so there was nothing he couldn't say about it.
"Bai Yang is very good, and the two kids you signed are good. To be honest, his performance is more in line with my liking than the others, and he is seriously trying to figure out the role."
Li Nian also felt that Zang Yuanchao was just putting himself off, so he couldn't help asking: "Director Zang, don't blame me for offending, if Bai Yang is not good, you can just say it, and I will go back so they can correct their mistakes."
Zang Yuanchao replied without hesitation: "Except for Li Jin, he is better than anyone else."
He picked up the iron teacup to drink water, Li Nian patiently waited for him to speak.
"Lu Gang, this role shouldn't be blatantly ruthless. The actors who came to the audition are too hard, that's not what I want." Zang Yuanchao talked eloquently, "Among so many people, there are hardly a few who can play like Bai Yang. , to act Lu Shigang's cowardice, I just want this feeling of cowardice, there is cruelty in cowardice, this is the true nature of serial killers."
Li Nian was a little confused, Lu Shigang had a cowardly nature in it, even he hadn't noticed it, how did Bai Yang think of it
Even Zang Yuanchao looked at him differently.
This made him even more puzzled.
"Then why not use him?"
Zang Yuanchao nodded: "To be honest, if Li Jin doesn't come, I'll settle for Bai Yang, but with Li Jin here, I can't give this role to someone else, no one is more suitable than him."
Li Nian stood up, "Director Zang, you don't know what kind of person Li Jin is."
Zang Yuanchao looked at him peacefully: "It has nothing to do with me who he is, I only know that he is the best Lu Shigang. I want an actor who looks cowardly by nature and has a sense of split like a psychopath. The more extreme the better." —These other young people are all flowers in the greenhouse, no matter how well they act, their hearts are not fierce enough, only Li Jin has a fierce look in his eyes."
His tone of voice was very firm, and every word was like cast iron: "I just want the fierce look in his eyes. Others can't do it."
Li Nian had nothing to say, and slowly sat back in his seat.
This is what he should have thought of.
Zang Yuanchao adores the performance of his true colors, and what is even more frightening is that Li Jin conceals it so well in front of others, Zang Yuanchao can still see Li Jin's almost perverted heart.
He and Lu Shigang are really the same way.
There is no room for struggle, no matter how well Bai Yang plays, it is impossible to shake Zang Yuanchao. In Zang Yuanchao's heart, true color is above all else.
Li Nian did not have the confidence to convince a master of art, and he also admitted that Zang Yuanchao was right.
Director Zang saw Li Nian's troubled expression, so he couldn't help comforting him: "There are still many opportunities in the future. If there is a suitable role in the next film, I will give priority to Bai Yang."
Li Nian lowered his head, then raised his face, his face was already calm: "Now there is one more chance, I want to give Director Zang some advice."
Zang Yuanchao immediately became a little unhappy: "Mr. Li, you should know that I don't like investors to give me opinions."
Li Nian explained sincerely: "It's not an opinion, it's just a suggestion. Whether it's up to you or not, I will never interfere with your decision."
Zang Yuanchao loosened his brows: "Tell me."
Li Nian has researched many materials about the Gansu serial murder case, and even asked Zheng Meimei to inquire about the inside story. The reason why this case is called the headless case is not only because of Lu Shigang's cunning and brutality, but also because the murderer is not alone.
This is a tragedy composed of two murderers intertwined.
On the way to escape, Lu Shigang once killed all four members of a family - a couple, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law. The only son of the family, Zhang Xiaobing, was hiding in the water tank at the time and escaped by luck. From the crack in the water tank, he saw the whole process of his parents' tragic death, and Lu Shigang's face under the light.
For ten years, Lu Shigang was on the run, Fang Zhengjun was chasing him, and Zhang Xiaobing, who grew up slowly, chose to take revenge in his own way.
Lu Shigang had countless grievances under his command, but some people helped him cover up the truth, which made him get away with it for ten years. Zhang Xiaobing has long lost trust in the police. Eighteen-year-old Zhang Xiaobing bought a gun with the money he saved from part-time jobs, and returned to the Northwest to track down his blood feud.
He failed to catch Lu Shigang, but caught several of Lu Shigang's accomplices. Zhang Xiaobing did not choose to call the police, but used the same killing method as Lu Shigang, and personally sent these people to Huangquan Road.
The victim becomes a murderer in another form. On the contrary, many important clues have been covered up, making the case solving a mystery.
This young man who was swallowed by hatred did not wait until the day when Lu Shigang was arrested. He was rounded up by the police before Lu Shigang and shot dead on the spot. He was under twenty years old when he died.
"When he was shot and fell to the ground, Zhang Xiaobing was still alive. Many witnesses said that he didn't look like a murderer at all, and he was very handsome."
Li Nian finished speaking.
Zang Yuanchao looked at him approvingly: "Where did you hear these things?"
Li Nian didn't dare to pretend to be himself in front of Zang Yuanchao, but just smiled humbly: "Shrimps have shrimps, crabs have crabs, my paparazzi skills are not worth talking about in front of Director Zang."
He turned around and took out a stack of materials and a USB flash drive: "All the materials are here. I know it. Director Zang must have known it a long time ago. I dare not say that Director Zang will add this character for me, but I hope Zang The director can think about it, this role is very brilliant, it will make the movie look better."
Zang Yuanchao took his stuff: "Actually, I had considered this role at first. At that time, the time was tight and the information was unknown, so I transferred his plot to Lu Shigang. I was also worried that Zhang Xiaobing's plot would overwhelm Lu Shigang and Fang Zhengjun. mainline."
"It's not that the information is unknown, but Director Zang didn't have an ideal candidate at the time." Li Nian lowered his eyes, "I really hope you think about it."
Zang Yuanchao became interested, "Mr. Li, let's talk about your thoughts."
Li Nian looked at the big clock hanging in Zang Yuanchao's office in embarrassment: "It's almost ten o'clock, so it's not good to delay Director Zang's rest."
Zang Yuanchao stood up and handed him a cigarette, "What's the hurry, I like to stay up late. Tell me, I have discussed it with the crew a few times before, and now I really want to hear what you have to say."
It was already past three o'clock in the morning when Li Nian came back from Zang Yuanchao.
Both Bai Yang and Zhong Yue lost the election. Now there is only a ray of hope left, that is, Zang Yuanchao can consider the role of Zhang Xiaobing.
Success or failure is up to him, it just depends on Zang Yuanchao's will.
The author has something to say: "The Murder in the Northwest Wilderness" is indeed inspired by that famous serial case.
But it is far from the real case, so don't take it seriously.
The director prototype is not that director either (.
