I started out as a criminal, and the police relied on me to solve countless cases.

Chapter 216 Showing You the Way

"Hands on?"

Jiang Hanwen scratched his head. He was still a little surprised when the tall and thin man next to Lao Zhu took off his mask.

This person's status is no less than Feng Kuzi's. He is a genuine national teacher and is highly respected in the circle. He has never been on the wrong side and his status has been as stable as Mount Tai for so many years.

If it was because of Mr. Feng's matter, Jiang Hanwen could understand it.

But Jiang Hanwen totally couldn't understand why someone would fly from Beijing late at night to see a second-rate actor like him just for Feng's matter.

Besides, I heard that Mr. Feng had a good personal relationship with him. Given his nature of seeking good fortune and avoiding danger, would he wade into this muddy water for no reason?
Unreasonable.

"Jiang, Director Jiang."

The man's skinny face was full of wrinkles and his eye sockets were deeply sunken. He did not look to be in very good health.

"Director, I am nothing in front of you. Don't mention me as a director. It will shorten my life."

Jiang Hanwen waved his hand. No matter how high this person's status was, at least he had decent character and his professional ability was indeed qualified.

Just for this reason, Jiang Hanwen expressed his respect.

"I am an honest person. To be honest, I won't comment on Director Jiang's directing skills, but as for your acting skills, I can guarantee that there are not many male actors in the entire entertainment industry who can compare with you."

Seeing that Jiang Hanwen was still humble, the man was afraid that the other party would misunderstand that he was complimenting him randomly.

So he sat up straight and started discussing with Jiang Hanwen seriously.

“Stanislavsky asked us to ‘become the image’, to live in the image, and to have a real experience in the creative process.”

"Brecht established a new type of drama, in which the actor keeps a distance from the role, forming a "double image" in which the actor is both the actor himself and the character in the play, and the actor uses superb acting skills to portray the character in the play."

"To be honest, I've been directing for so many years, I've shot so many movies, so many types of movies, I've worked with so many actors, I've seen a lot of people who get into the role, and there are also quite a few who come from stage plays and have a strong sense of alienation."

The director looked at Jiang Hanwen with sparkling eyes. "But an actor like Director Jiang can balance immersion and drama, ensuring that the character is fully involved, and pushing the sense of involvement to the limit, giving the audience an extremely realistic experience, while perfectly not crossing that line and not causing the character to collapse. This requires a level of skill and ability."

The director's tone sank, and he paused for a moment: "Without more than 20 years of immersion, I guarantee with my expertise that it would be impossible to achieve such a natural level."

When these words came out, Jiang Hanwen's heart trembled, but he remained calm on the surface.

The title of National Master is indeed not just boasting. If he didn't have the skills and real abilities, he would have been pulled down long ago.

Could it be that this person is suspicious of me? Jiang Hanwen was doubtful. Although this was unlikely, who could tell the truth about such mysterious things?

There are still many incense masters and Yin-Yang masters nowadays who can solve many unclear things. Jiang Hanwen does not think that those things are all superstition.

However, given the other party's cunning, he would not do such a thing that would harm others and benefit himself. Moreover, even if he had some suspicions, it would be useless. If he spoke them out, he would definitely be regarded as a psychopath.

There is no shortage of "powerful people" in life who claim to be the reincarnation of someone. These people are all in mental hospitals.

"Director, what you said is true. My little brother's acting skills are a little better, but not as weird as you say, right? For more than 20 years, my little brother has been learning acting since he was in his mother's womb, but it's not enough."

Old Zhu was a shrewd man and naturally saw the confrontation between the two. Although he was unhappy, he still subconsciously came to the rescue of Jiang Hanwen.

The director's power is not as great as that guy named Feng. If he falls out with him and they fight, both sides will easily suffer losses.

Besides, didn’t this guy agree to be a peacemaker? Is this how a peacemaker works?
"Hahaha, Director Zhu, you don't know this. What I mean is that Director Jiang's acting skills cannot be developed without more than 20 years of immersion. But Old Zhu, do you know that the emperors, sages and saints in ancient times were all gifted. If they knew one thing, they would know a hundred things. Their rapid progress is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people. I see that Director Jiang has a strange look on his face. I'm afraid he is the legendary extraordinary person with the third eye~~~~"

"I have heard a little bit about Director Jiang's abilities, and I also know a lot of the senior leaders above me. They all admire Director Jiang's abilities. Director Jiang, if you are interested, I will introduce you to him immediately."

Watching the director dancing on the table while holding two pig's trotters.

Old Zhu was really angry.

"Director, you are wrong. A gentleman does not speak of strange things. Jiang Hanwen's ability, whether it is acting or solving cases, relies on his real ability. You claim to be a saint and a clairvoyant. This is called flattery."

As Old Zhu spoke, he was still a little confused in his heart. The director was already in his seventies. I heard that he had learned a few tricks from Mr. You Fang when he was young. He probably wouldn't speak without a purpose.

Every time Jiang Hanwen solves a case, it's like he has a cheat code. He knows everything and can hit the target wherever he points, as if assisted by God. Old Zhu has the most say in whether there is any magic in it. Many big shots in the upper echelons want to meet this prophet in the police force.

However, Old Zhu was determined not to let Jiang Hanwen go down this path.

"During the reign of Emperor Wu, the emperor believed in prophecies and sent people to seek the secret of immortality throughout the world. As the emperor liked something, his people would be even more interested. As a result, from the East China Sea in the north to the land of Chu, people came to seek immortals and medicine, and consult gods and ghosts. At one time, countless people presented books in front of the palace and claimed to have the power of immortals. Then, over the next few years, the emperor issued orders to kill more than 10,000 immortals and alchemists."

I have to say that although Zhu Qiyu is not good-looking, his cultural attainments are as impressive as a cow touching an electric wire.

The director's face turned pale after hearing these words, and he almost broke down.

"Director Zhu, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that you want to harm Director Jiang on purpose? You're done for now!"

The director was a little annoyed that he shouldn't have come with Zhu Qiyu. He really didn't expect that the relationship between the two was so close. The two guys were not related at all. Besides, I had no ill intentions. There were indeed many people up there who wanted to meet this young "expert".

His actions in Han Country had a huge impact on the political figures. Naturally, there would be benefits if he could establish connections with the higher-ups.

Why are these two people full of hostility?

"Director, you and I are both actors. In the past, this was called an actor. An actor should make a good movie. Don't you agree?"

Jiang Hanwen stood up and brought two bowls of tofu pudding to the two of them. The bowl for Lao Zhu was filled with braised shrimp skin, mushrooms, black fungus, and chopped green onions, while the bowl for the director was sprinkled with a layer of sugar.

Old Zhu held his forehead with his hand. Jiang Hanwen was such a straightforward guy. He would never suffer any loss.

"Haha, I've heard that tofu pudding in the south is a kind of sugar water, and it tastes great. This is the first time I've tasted it in all these years."

The director was stunned for a moment, frowned, then forced himself to relax, then picked up the bowl of tofu pudding and drank it all in one gulp.

"Director Jiang, stop talking nonsense and get down to business."

"Feng Kuzi's behavior is not decent, but his crime does not deserve death. I hope Director Jiang will show some mercy."

The director stood up and bowed to Jiang Hanwen to apologize.

He didn't want to care about Feng Kuzi's life or death. This guy had been blinded by groundless hatred.

Can face be eaten? In the past, when they showed off their power to newcomers, they also had to consider the person's situation. If Jiang Hanwen was an unknown little person, he wouldn't care what means Feng Kuazi used to deal with him.

Those kids who don't know the rules and don't behave themselves should be punished. At the very least, they will be put in cold storage; at the worst, they will be banned. If they are really lawless, they will be sent to jail for tea. There is nothing wrong with that.

But who is Jiang Hanwen? It’s nothing that he can serve as a special consultant to the police in many provinces and cities in his early twenties, but are his connections like those of an ordinary person?
Liu Mingyang, who had led the public security department to solve two major cases as a non-staff member and was also the new son-in-law of Leader Wang, stood up for Jiang Hanwen in front of the media at the press conference.

In Han Country, he has close personal relationships with the top leaders of Samsung Group, Han Country’s police force, and young political leaders.

Not to mention that he recently got the position of Deputy Commissioner of Police in Hong Kong. The entire Hong Kong police force treats him with great courtesy. This is one of the rare major breakthroughs in Hong Kong's power in the past decade.

What a terrifying influence this is. Are you blind or heartless? Last time you sent someone to rush into someone's live broadcast room and asked police stations across the country to support him in the live broadcast room, did you really not see it? Just ask, who in the entertainment industry has this ability?
Feng Kuzi, do you think that by filming a few movies and earning some money you can act like a big shot in front of those adults?

You are nothing in front of the big guy.

Now, they are playing dirty tricks and using some underhanded tactics.

Find a whore from nowhere and try to set someone up. Does she have no internet access at home or did she get kicked in the head by a donkey? Does she not watch the news? The press conference held by the Hong Kong Police Force was broadcast live on Dragon TV.

What is your identity? What is his identity? Those who know you are a famous director, while those who don’t know you may think you are a terrorist.

Not to mention hiring internet trolls to slander and spread rumors, which has a bad impact and will take at least a year to prosecute.

Compared with this time, it is nothing. Director Zhu is right. Instigating the poisoning of incumbent officials is a serious crime, and if they are police officers, the crime is even more serious.

As long as Jiang Hanwen takes out the evidence and reports it to his superiors, Feng Kuazi will definitely end up in jail.

"Not a crime punishable by death? Director, you said this so lightly. Don't you take Director Jiang's reputation too lightly? Do you know that if this grandson's plan succeeds, Director Jiang will be ruined immediately, which is no different from death? Just say that the crime is not punishable by death and that's it?"

Before Jiang Hanwen could say anything, Lao Zhu next to him stopped working. He brought him here because he thought the director had a good attitude, but he didn't expect this guy to say such things.

You have to have the right attitude when you ask for mercy. If you just talk and don't do anything, do you think you can get something for nothing?

"Director Zhu, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"

The director was also anxious.

"Director Jiang, don't worry. As long as you show mercy and don't sue Feng Kuazi, I guarantee that he will come to you to apologize. And with me as the leader, the door to the domestic entertainment industry is wide open to you. At the same time, all the film and television resources of our Beijing system are at your disposal. If you need people, you have people. If you need investment, you have investment. My investors and theater resources belong to you, Director Jiang. From now on, no matter which actor, investor, distributor, producer, or theater dares to show off in front of you, Director Jiang, I guarantee that he will be expelled from the industry!"

The director spoke without even taking a breath, and threw out a bunch of olive branches.

This gift package is quite big. A person of his level speaks with great precision and it is impossible for him to speak nonsense casually.

Just this series of things are all the resources the director can use.

With his guarantee, Jiang Hanwen doesn't have to bother making an online movie or worry about the theater distribution rights.

The road ahead will be smooth.

Jiang Hanwen was also stunned for a moment, and the pig's trotter in his hand no longer tasted fragrant.

He was a little confused.

"Director, forgive me for being so presumptuous, but Director Feng has no relationship with you, is it that serious?"

Jiang Hanwen's question is also what Lao Zhu wants to ask.

To be able to protect someone so desperately, even if it is his own son, he may not be able to do this. What is the director trying to achieve?
"Director Jiang, to be honest, I don't buy these things for Feng Kuzi. He is a lawless man and he deserves to suffer a little. It would be good to let him stay in jail for a few years to improve his brain."

"Then what are you doing?"

"Director Jiang, Director Zhu, I am 72 years old this year. I have been shooting movies all my life. I have been to the desert, the snowy mountains, the lonely sails on the islands, and foreign countries. I have been to all my life, and now I can be considered successful and famous."

The director's voice suddenly choked up.

Jiang Hanwen touched his nose. To be honest, he was a little surprised.

He was surprised to find that this guy was not just acting but was serious about it.

According to the normal routine, the main dish should come after the pity show, but the pity show must be fake, what is this for? Is it a true expression of emotion?

As a director, if you want to find someone to take over, the people lining up can stretch from Dongzhimen to Langfang. Are you still worried about not finding someone?
"Director Jiang, you know the current film industry. Everyone is making money, consuming emotions, and feeding the audience with big fen. Haha, in fact, there was a period of time when I compromised. I felt that the audience was like this and there was no hope. Others were creating arguments and could reap a lot of benefits. Why not do it?"

"That's how it is. I and a few senior people took the lead in falling, so the threshold of our industry has become lower and lower. Actors also become directors, singers also become directors, writers also become directors, and recently crosstalk performers also become directors. They plagiarize foreign movies one-to-one, hype weight loss gimmicks, hire Internet users to lead the trend and reap profits, and fight. They never mention the quality of the movies, and yet they still win the box office championship."

The director shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Who the hell can we go to for justice? GD and our film association are to blame for what has happened."

"However, how long can this market where bad money drives out good money last? I don't know. However, I am old and have many health problems. People flatter me and say that I can live to be 90, but I know my own body best. When a bird is about to die, its cry is sad; when a person is about to die, his words are kind. If a good actor or director like you can set a benchmark for the industry, we old guys can make use of our remaining energy."

"Perhaps it can correct the market's atmosphere. Moreover, you have an official background. Many things that seem difficult will become much easier to do."

Sincerity is the most powerful weapon. The director's heartfelt words are very sincere. Although there are many calculations of interests involved, at least they are said clearly without hiding anything.

However, Jiang Hanwen would definitely not take such a big blame. He knows his own weight now. Unless these big guys really die one day, it will not be too late to talk about these things.

"Director, I just want to ask, is it right to pay for a life and to pay for a debt?"

Jiang Hanwen looked at Zhang Maocai who was carrying two large bags of food and said coldly.

"Yes, of course."

"Then my brother is also a victim. Mr. Feng instructed his wife to poison him, and he almost killed me. Now if you want to plead for Director Feng, first ask him to agree to hand over all the evidence that he instructed that woman to poison him."

"Director Jiang, aren't you going to kill Feng Kuazi anyway? This, this~~"

"Director, you have to understand clearly that my little brother sued his wife and Director Feng took the initiative to testify in court. It is different from me suing Director Feng and the woman testified in court. The nature is different, the attitude is different, and the punishment is different."

Jiang Hanwen did not beat around the bush. How could he just let the other party, who had framed him time and again, get away with it so easily? If it weren't for the director's promise, Jiang Hanwen would have put that old guy in jail for life.

But he is still of some use at the moment. At least, we need to completely deal with the vicious woman Liu Xinxin first, and then see how he performs.
