It was the first time for the two leading actors to witness the edited version with their own eyes. With three points of anticipation, three points of curiosity, and four points of apprehension, they watched the whole process seriously with the audience.

The domestic release version is 12 minutes shorter than the Berlin premiere version.

It cannot be said that it has changed beyond recognition.

It can only be said that "Murderer" has been changed so that its own father doesn't even know it.

Xiawang was isolated by his classmates because of his withdrawn personality but was too popular with girls, and his deskmate Xu Chi especially hated Xiawang.Later, Xu Chi asked the class teacher to change seats. From then on, the boys' isolation towards Xiawang turned into bullying.

After that, Gu Fei came out.

Gu Fei and Xiawang became friends by chance.

Gu Fei's story has also changed.The role of the cousin is gone.Gu Fei has been unscrupulous since he was a child, but the root cause is the tense relationship between him and his father.Gu Fei's behavior is actually a distorted way to protest to his father.

The gay manga that my classmates found in Gu Fei's drawer in junior high school has also become a normal little porn manga.

Xiawang was very grateful to Gu Fei at first.However, he gradually saw another side of Gu Fei.

He would harass female classmates.

One night, after studying late, Xiawang ran into Gu Fei in the men's room.

And a female classmate who was forcibly pulled into the cubicle by him.

Gu Fei threatened Xiawang fiercely, making him pretend he didn't see anything.This is what Xiawang owed him.

Gu Fei was tall and burly, and Xia Wang looked weak in front of him.Xiawang looked at Gu Fei in horror, and stepped back step by step.

Xiawang turned around and wanted to run, but was pulled back by Gu Fei.

Three days later, the girl committed suicide by jumping off the school building.

Soon, rumors spread that someone saw the girl committing suicide, and Xiawang went into the same men's bathroom with her the night before.

All the students in the school pointed at Xiawang, and the boys in the class called him a criminal behind his back.

Xiawang transferred to another school and completely disappeared from Gu Fei's life.

Thirteen years later, Gu Fei, who had a happy family and achieved success, met Tong Jia.

Tong Jia kept approaching him. Of course, this version changed from seduction to cooperation of interests.

During this process, Tong Jia found evidence of Gu Fei's various hook-ups and derailments over the years.

But Tong Jia felt that this was not enough to relieve the hatred.It's nothing more than a "mistake every man makes."

Maybe for the sake of the children and the family, the wife will forgive him after all.

He wanted to knock Gu Fei down completely so that he couldn't turn over.

Most importantly, he wants Gu Fei to experience the pain he has endured.

Tong Jia found an opportunity to get Gu Fei drunk, forged a bed photo with him, and sent it to Gu Fei's wife, Shen Yan.

Gu Fei was identified as a homosexual, and his wife and children were separated overnight, and his reputation was ruined.And the only way for him to clarify himself is to reveal that he has had countless hook-ups over the years.

Finally, the collapsed Gu Fei invited Tong Jia to the hotel.Gu Fei asked Tong Jia why he wanted to ruin his life.

Tong Jia said, because you are a murderer.

Gu Fei stabbed Tong Jia's chest with a knife while roaring frantically.

Tong Jia called the police before he came.The police broke in and arrested Gu Fei who was about to jump off the building on the spot.

Tong Jia was successfully rescued. He sat pale on the witness stand and told all the truth.

Gu Fei was underage when he committed the crime of □□, and the isolated evidence cannot be concluded. It is difficult to establish this charge based on Tong Jia's one-sided words.

The day the girl jumped off the building, Xiawang saw her dead body.This has become Xiawang's nightmare for many years.

Gu Fei not only killed her, but also killed him.

Therefore, Xiawang decided to make Gu Fei pay for the murder.

Even with your own life as a bargaining chip.

Unexpectedly, Gu Fei admitted to the rape case at the age of 17.

In the end, Gu Fei was punished for several crimes and sentenced to life imprisonment.

On the day the court sentenced Gu Fei to prison, Tong Jia walked out of the court, looked into the distance, and said, sorry, is it too late.

This is for that girl.

Xia Wang, also known as Tong Jia, received psychological treatment after recovering from the knife wound. After several years, she smiled again in the sunshine.

Happy ending.

During the process, all "passionate scenes" were naturally deleted to nothing.

When the ending song "An" sounded in the theater, Yi Qian let out a long breath.

Oh shit.

not easy.

It's not fucking easy.

This ending is where he and Shang Yun had the most intense dispute.

For a movie, the finishing touch is the ending, and it has to stop at just the right place.

Shang Yun insisted that "Murderer" should stop at the scene where Gu Fei and Tong Jia are in the hotel.

The story after that is not important to "The Murderer".

Some things, many things, are ultimately under the control of impermanent fate, not the director.

But Yi Qian insisted that the director has to take care of it.

You have to keep it clear and complete.

"The dog tail continues the mink." Shang Yun said.

In the original version, Tong Jia, who was already "killed" by Gu Fei, was killed by Gu Fei again, hammering Gu Fei to death for the crime of homicide.In addition to the bed photos of Gu Fei and Tong Jia, Gu Fei’s phone call with Tong Jia, and Gu Fei bringing a fruit knife to the hotel at home... The chain of evidence is complete and clear. 20 years, the death penalty is not ruled out.

But Shang Yun did not disclose the follow-up results in the movie.The story itself has been told, and the legal part belongs to the law.

Whether the outlook is bright or dark, it is possible.

Now that Tong Jia is not dead, Gu Fei's intentional homicide has become an attempted homicide, and theoretically he will be given a lighter punishment.

And Gu Fei admitted the rape case 13 years ago. The only witness in this case was Tong Jia, and there was no other real evidence.Whether Gu Fei turned himself in or not, and whether the crime was the direct cause of the victim's suicide will affect the sentencing.

What's more, Shang Yun himself couldn't understand why Gu Fei admitted to this case?

Suddenly conscience found out?

In short, in order to determine the sentencing standard, the police have to contact the family members of the girl who committed suicide, and they have to uncover the 13-year-old pain of the girl’s family members, which may draw public attention to the girl and her family and cause secondary harm.

However, Tong Jia didn't tell the truth until 13 years later, and indirectly hurt Gu Fei's wife and children. Will he suffer further cyber violence?

Faced with this kind of pressure, can depression really be cured smoothly?

The case became complicated, and it might last for one, two, or even three to five years. Gu Fei was punished, but Tong Jia, the girl's family, and even Gu Fei's wife and children had to suffer at the same time.

Shang Yun asked Yi Qian: "Is this the happy ending you want to see?"

Yi Qian: "..."

Yi Qian: "..."

Yi Qian: "..."

Yi Qian: "Who would quarrel with you about whether the sentencing is accurate? We're not shooting criminal investigation films, and the ending doesn't need to present these messy things. The audience just wants to see the bad guys get what they deserve."

Yes, no one cares about the details, and no one cares about the deep logic behind it. Everyone just wants to see the criminals and murderers have a bad life for half their lives, and the fragile and righteous good people come out of the abyss.

People want reassurance, if only from a story they know to be fiction: There is always hope.

It will always get better and better.

The audience applauded enthusiastically, Yi Qian looked back, and many audience members had watery faces.

It's not like the scene at the Berlinale.

At that time, no one cried.Only heavy, oppressive, bone marrow tearing.

Now, they have managed to fan out rows of tears.

Yi Qian turned his head to look at Shang Yun beside him. Shang Yun's face was flat, looking at the screen indifferently, the light danced on his face, gloomy and ruthless.

Yi Qian couldn't see any sign of "success" on Shang Yun's face.

The main creative team of "Murderer" held a simple press conference at the scene to celebrate the complete success of the national premiere of "Murderer".Yi Qian knew it was "successful", he could feel the emotions of the audience.

Shang Yun lacked interest, and answered a series of questions from the media almost perfunctorily, but when it comes to creation, he either cue Yi Qian or use some fake template sentences to deal with it.

It's not an excuse, if he is the author of the first version, then Yi Qian is the author of the second version.

After leaving the theater, Shang Yun said to Yi Qian, "Yi Qian."

Yi Qian looked back at him.

"I feel like a jerk," Shang Yun said.

"Wearing low-cut dresses and fishnet stockings, posing to all the paying grandpas."

In the affairs of this world, Shang Yun first hates hypocrisy, and second hates kitsch.

This is what he has seen in many movies.

Now, he has those things in his movies too.

It is a work with the word "Shang Yun" on it.

Yi Qian was silent for a few seconds.

He sighed deeply.

He pressed Shang Yun's shoulder, "This road will take a long time."

When is the head?

he does not know.None of them know.

But have to keep going.

It's their own choice.

"Okay, stop being sentimental." Yi Qian smiled, "The essence of life is division."

Shang Yun looked at him and smiled too.

On the day of the premiere of "Murderer", the box office was 5 million.

"Murderer," which had an initial score of 8.9 after the Berlinale, dropped to an 8.4 on opening night after a surge in critics.

The next day, the single-day box office was 8 million.

The Douban score rose back to 8.6.

On the third day, the single-day box office exceeded 10 billion.

Douban score 8.7.

The film scheduling rate has been continuously adjusted from 15% on the premiere day, to 21% on the third day.

The topic of "Murderer" has been on the front row of hot searches on Zhihu and Weibo for three consecutive days.

The review style has also changed, and the few cold reviews at the Berlin Film Festival were quickly suppressed.

[Is this really the same person as Qi Le from "Four People, Three Classes"? ? ? ]

[I came here for my looks, Qi Lele's poster style should not be too stunning, I will regret it after reading it, it made me feel stupid]

[Um?Isn't this a gay movie?Anyway, I don’t believe it]

[Ah, ah, every look in the eyes of the two male protagonists is a play from beginning to end! ! !Sorry, I've been playing another story in my head, this pair of CP I locked and I swallowed the key! ! ! ]

[Every look is a drama + 2021, many places want to go back and watch it again, forcing me to buy a second ticket as soon as I leave the cinema]

[This movie perfectly satisfies all my fantasies about Tanmei movies]

[I watched the released version only after reading the synopsis of the Berlin version, and it actually substituted the original story 233333 without any sense of disobedience]

[I heard that Qi Lele lost weight crazily for the filming of this film. I believed the scene where Tong Jia went to see Gu Fei at the hotel. I lost a lot of weight in one fell swoop, and because of his professionalism, Qi Lele wiped it out in my heart ]

[Qi Le is a god in one play, the gold content of Berlin's actor is really not false]

[Everyone's acting skills are amazing!The scene where Shen Yan exploded was especially explosive! ]

[Sincerely asking, where can I see the deleted clips...]

There are also angry bad reviews——

[Gu Fei is a criminal!Are you okay with your three views if you can knock CP? ]

[The motivation of the characters has been changed to be nondescript, and the justice is a bit crap]

[I want to discuss social hotspots and human nature, and I want to cater to the mainstream values, and the result is an unacceptable thing, two words: ugly]

[It's another wheat bran circle money work, hehe]

[Sure enough, you shouldn't have hoped for a version that can be released in China]

Less than a week after "Murderer" was released, Qi Lele's Weibo fans reached tens of millions.

The popularity of Xu Yingzhuo, Qian Shilei, Nong Xinrong and other actors has also increased.

Even Shang Yun and Yi Qian's Weibo became popular.

"Murderer" has been released for half a month, and the theme song "An" has also become popular, topping the hit charts of major music platforms one after another.

The crowd was amazed: Berlin actor Qi Lele is actually a singer!

The crowd was surprised again: Xu Yingzhuo, another little-known actor in "Murderer", was actually a singer!

Although semi-amateur.

Immediately, several music variety shows came to contact Xu Yingzhuo, and Qi Lele's singing and composing live broadcast room was topped on the homepage less than half a day after the first broadcast of "Murderer" was released.

The theater schedule of "Murderer" has been extended again and again, and the screening rate exceeded 25% at its peak.

It's close to the level of a commercial blockbuster.

Before the movie was released, Qi Lele's Weibo followers exceeded 2000 million.

He is busy again, even busier than the publicity stage. Every day, there are endless interviews, activities, and endless red carpets.

For the title of "Berlin Best Actor", Qi Le was most excited about 9 months ago, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he enjoyed it for three days and three nights.

Now, that energy is long past, and the whole thing is a thing of the past for him.

Sometimes Qi Le even feels like an outsider, who can calmly watch all this from a third-party perspective. Praise, applause, cheers, and admiration seem to have little to do with him. He just provides an identity and Existence, with the carnival of the world.

The most tangible thing he got was inner peace.
