Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 547 So mature it's heartbreaking, so resolute it's like joining the Party.

As the audience eagerly awaits, the story continues.

As before, Gao Yuanyuan, who plays Li Muzi, stands there quietly, speaking gently and calmly, while constantly defending her husband.

All of He Fei's efforts were in vain; he wanted to prove that his wife had disappeared and that the woman in front of him was not his wife.

However, the evidence he painstakingly found shattered his hopes once again, leaving him disheartened, just like at the police station at the beginning of the movie.

However, unlike before, the audience did not empathize with He Fei's feelings and understand his helplessness and frustration as they did in the police station.
Because Gao Yuanyuan was by his side. It wasn't that her words made sense, but rather that she was too beautiful—beauty made sense!

Therefore, what they say and do all seem to be correct.

On screen, Officer Zheng thought the same thing, so he used a joint lock to subdue the somewhat out-of-control He Fei, and then left to let him calm down.

At the same time, He Fei's idea of ​​filing a case was rejected.

Faced with He Fei's loss of composure, Li Muzi, played by Gao Yuanyuan, did not get angry, but instead gently forgave him.

She pulled him up and helped him tidy his clothes like a wife would, without arguing or making any excuses.

So sensible it breaks my heart!
This scene caused the audience's opinion to begin to shift.

Originally hesitant between "yes" and "no," viewers are now more inclined to believe that Gao Yuanyuan's Li Muzi is the real Li Muzi.

Having exhausted all other options, He Fei went to a bar for a drink, where he cleverly met lawyer Chen Mai through an introduction.

She had short hair, wore a beige leather jacket, and was cool, stylish, and unconventional, with a more dashing style than most men.

The two had a brief conversation, and through Chen Mai's descriptions, the dangers of Southeast Asia were revealed in greater detail.

Human trafficking, organ transplantation, torture for pleasure... the conclusion is that if your wife is truly missing, she may not be able to be saved.

At this point, the audience had unconsciously stopped thinking about Qi Hui transforming into a war wolf, slaughtering enemies, and rescuing his wife.

With such a pathetic state, you can't even handle a single policeman!
The real hope now lies with Chen Mai, played by Jing Tian!

After a struggle, and under Chen Mai's insistence, He Fei confessed everything.
"You seem reluctant to talk about your wife?"

"No, that's not it!" He Fei retorted urgently, "I just... don't want to talk about my family..."

"My family isn't well-off. My father gambles, and my mother is seriously ill..."

On screen, Qi Hui, who plays He Fei, slowly recounts his somewhat unbearable family life and explains his humble past.

He also recounted how he met and fell in love with his wife, Li Muzi.

He even revealed without reservation that he used to be a gambler.

Upon seeing this, the audience was first amazed by Chen Duling.

She's so beautiful, with the face of a first love, reminding people of the innocent and sweet love in school.

It makes one's memory irresistibly return to that innocent and youthful past.

Liu Yifei stared blankly at Chen Duling on the screen.

To be honest, she felt that the role suited her quite well.

Unfortunately, Qi Hui didn't ask her to act...

While viewers were amazed by Chen Duling's performance, some frowned, realizing she was a gambling addict...

Gamblers never meet a good end!

But He Fei's previous pitiful and helpless performance made it difficult for the audience to truly bring themselves to curse him.

Gao Yuanyuan's words were reasonable, but Qi Hui's were no different.
Perhaps he has reformed?
Soon, on screen, Jing Tian calmly, rationally, and ruthlessly presented three possibilities:
First, Li Muzi's disappearance was her own doing; only she knows you so well!
Second, it was you, her husband, who orchestrated this. Li Muzi has already disappeared, and the murderer is you, her husband!
In criminal cases involving unnatural deaths, the spouse is generally considered the primary suspect; this is a common practice in the criminal investigation industry.

At the same time, you're a gambling addict, so it's normal for you to murder for money!
Third, Li Muzi was murdered by villains. The area is in a state of disorder, and she was murdered by the local gang for money!

Upon hearing the second possibility, He Fei was initially furious.

But after hearing Chen Mai call him a gambling addict without any mercy, he stopped arguing and became silent, as if his heart had died.

The audience was deeply captivated by the scene. Which of these three mysteries is the truth?
Not to mention other viewers, even film critics stopped writing their reviews and focused on watching the movie, reflecting on its content.

But on screen, Qi Hui's heartbroken and dejected expression made people feel sorry for him and unable to hate him.

Although he was a gambler, he has reformed himself, hasn't he?

Otherwise, how could Li Muzi possibly marry him?
The second one is unlikely. Of the remaining two directions, the third one is more likely, followed by the first one.

Jing Tian, ​​who plays Chen Mai, also offered her guess: if it were a country with good public security, then the second one would be very likely.
But this is the chaotic island nation of Barlandia, so let's start by investigating the third possibility. However, suspicion against you cannot be ruled out, so you must not hold back anything from me, your lawyer!
"Okay, I promise you!" On the screen, He Fei readily agreed, his gaze as firm as if he were joining the Party.

Seeing this reaction, the audience's suspicions about He Fei lessened even more.

In the original film, Chen Mai also made this demand of He Fei: he must not hold anything back and must completely trust him.

However, the origin of this request is somewhat vague, simply stemming from the domineering nature of the character Chen Mai.

Therefore, Qi Hui changed it!

The change was made so that He Fei was suspected, therefore there could be no reservations, and he had to be completely trusted.

But this means that if one holds back, it could prove that he himself is the murderer.

This is why the audience's suspicion of He Fei has decreased.

He agreed without reservation and trusted him completely, so how could he possibly be the murderer?

Soon, He Fei and Chen Mai reached a cooperation agreement, signed a contract, wrote checks, and paid legal fees.

The two immediately set off, ready to get to work.

Seeing this, the audience took a deep breath, their emotions stirred once again.

Previously, the protagonist He Fei kept suffering setbacks, but now we can finally see signs of him rising up!
Actually, this part is quite strange in the original version.

Chen Mai decided to help him resolve these troublesome matters simply because the other party told him a story.

As for legal fees or other compensation, we won't mention them at all!
So the question is, what was Chen Mai's motive?
In this suspenseful atmosphere and context, it's hard not to make the audience suspicious!
So Qi Hui changed it, adding a step to charge lawyer fees.

In the adult world, who would help you with something if you're not related to them or have no vested interests?
Do you think you're Luffy, the main character, and that people will accommodate you just because of your protagonist aura?
The exorbitant cost also sowed a seed of doubt in the minds of the audience:
[Didn't I say you came from a bad background? Where did you get the money to pay your lawyer's fees? Your wife's, perhaps?]

I wonder how many people have noticed this...

……

As the film continues, with the addition and assistance of lawyer Chen Mai, played by Jing Tian, ​​the methods of the fake Li Muzi gradually become clear.

Preliminary assessment suggests this is an organized and premeditated criminal gang.

The fake Li Muzi, the hotel management and service staff, are likely all their people.

They search for targets, forge various pieces of evidence and documents, possibly with the aim of murder for money.

In Southeast Asia, everything a person possesses—money, their very being—is valuable.

Hearing this, the audience once again felt worried and anxious for the missing Li Muzi.

Such a beautiful girl, won't something happen to her?

That's terrible!

During the search for clues, He Fei, played by Qi Hui, fully cooperated with Chen Mai, sharing all his knowledge and offering advice.

He even protected Chen Mai on several occasions when they were in danger.

As he said, complete trust, without reservation!
He Fei frowned and asked, "Could that policeman, Officer Zheng, also be one of their men?"

"Was it Officer Zheng who deliberately ignored the clues I provided?"

Upon hearing this, the audience was equally startled, as if it were indeed possible!
"Possibly!" Chen Mai's expression also changed slightly: "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"I just guessed it too..." He Fei couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

In the original version, He Fei was blind in his search for clues, led by the nose by Chen Mai, and listened to Chen Mai the whole time without any independent thought.

But how could someone who is easily led by the nose and has no independent thought possibly complete a meticulously planned murder?
Therefore, Qi Hui modified the character design, gradually shaping He Fei's image.

This will allow him to make achievements and contributions in the process of searching for clues and cooperating with Chen Mai in the investigation.

The effect was quite good; many viewers have gradually forgotten about the second possibility mentioned earlier.

During the investigation, He Fei's willingness to share his knowledge and his sincere cooperation with Chen Mai, which provided a lot of help, gradually reduced the audience's suspicion of him as a gambler.

He's clearly a gambler, and gamblers' words are obviously unreliable, but the audience doesn't realize this at all.

They didn't have much suspicion about the gambler...
