The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 153 Big news across society and entertainment

When you walk out of the theater, you don't need to walk too far, and there is a police station.

Du Ying walked in as if taking a leisurely stroll, observed it, and found a female police officer who seemed to be more pleasing to the eye.

"Standing in front of you is a serial killer, and he is surrendering to you."

As he said this, he very considerately posed as if he was being handcuffed, "Lock me up quickly."

His first words stunned the policewoman.

After hearing the request, the policewoman's first reaction was, are you kidding me?

After all, these days, there are many people who are bored, and policewomen have seen a lot of calls to report false police reports.

However, this was her first time encountering a false police report in person.

"Serial killer? 伱?"

She looked at the other person up and down. He didn't look unremarkable and even looked a bit honest. He didn't look dangerous or crazy.

This made her distrust the man's words even more.

But if you always stumble on one person, the scene is indeed not very pretty.

What perfect news!

Think about it! It spans two major sectors of entertainment and society, including murder, movies, and a hint of mystery.

If you dig deeper, you might be able to find more curious elements.

When the editors heard the news, they couldn't help but marvel.

Du Ying remained silent after explaining the first crime, but the policewoman's expression had become tense.

Editor A also showed a slight smile, but said: "Not to mention, the reputation of this movie is very good."

Editor B laughed at this time and said: "Maybe he doesn't care about the box office at all this time, but the awards."

On the evening of the 26th, in the editorial office of Huaxin Daily.

"Fuck!" Editor B yelled.

——The details stated by the other party are too many.

Du Ying showed no intention of resisting and allowed her to put handcuffs on him.

——They did find big news!

"Hahaha... Do you believe the rumors? This is a thriller. How dare you use a thriller to compete for awards?" Editor C laughed sarcastically.

And the serial killer who was caught also had a luxurious feast.

"Is this true?" Editor C opened his mouth wide.

Ignoring the policewoman's obstruction, they were extremely excited to take photos and records, and even wanted to interview Du Ying, as if they had caught big news.

She had heard about this case. The murderer was said to be extremely cautious and left very few clues, making it a troublesome unsolved case.

"So, everyone's predictions for Wang Wei's new film are finally accurate this time?" Editor B looked over with interest.

A reporter was still lamenting that these days, mentally ill people are everywhere.

"What's the motive?" Editor A also looked incredulous.

What's more, the "Corpse Serial Murder Case" is quite well-known. It's not too much to give it a headline, but——

At this moment, the editor-in-chief rushed in from the outside and gasped: "Gentlemen... all the headlines of the entertainment section that were originally planned... have been withdrawn by me!"

Editor A took out his notebook, flipped it through, and nodded: "This time, it must be the one that best meets the estimate."

When Du Ying first said that he was going to surrender, they heard it and thought it was a joke.

"The first day's box office figures shouldn't be high." Editor A shook his head slightly.

"Not a bad angle." Editor A wrote it down and said, "What will we choose as the headline tomorrow? A bad start, Wang Wei's new film has withdrawn from the May Day competition?"

Editor B laughed even louder: "No one thinks this film has a chance to compete for the title."

Without the support of criminal facts, it is impossible to achieve this level by simply making up stories.

For the media, the serial killer who has never been caught is a luxurious feast;

No one disagrees.

The female police officer winked at her colleague and took out the handcuffs, instantly raising her level of vigilance to him to the highest level.

"Let's collect the money." Editor B's mouth was a little sarcastic, and then he cheered up: "If it comes from the heart, it would be interesting. The explosive reputation and the record low box office with Wang Wei seem to be more interesting.

Got it!"

But it was two reporters who happened to be following the news of a gang fight and were waiting for news at the police station.

"Then tell me about your crime."

"The audience's reputation is mostly positive, and the reputation of the film critics is even more explosive. Take a look, here is an article - a masterpiece that shocks the soul!"

The other editors laughed, and the office was filled with joy.

Editor C also turned around and said: "It's normal. Didn't you notice that Wang Wei himself kept a low profile this time? It proves that he doesn't have much confidence that he can still be a box office hit."

As he explained the crime, he looked calm and indifferent, and you could even feel a hint of pride in him, as if a victor was describing his masterpiece.

Du Ying looked like "I want to surrender": "Yes, I am the murderer of the so-called 'dismemberment serial murder case'."

And when he detailed the facts of the crime and was even handcuffed, the reporter's journalistic instinct immediately kicked in.

Of course Du Ying also saw that the policewoman did not believe what she said.

The editor-in-chief could only confirm that the news was true. He clapped his hands and said: "The motive is still unknown. I guess the police are confused now. So, gentlemen, hurry up and ask your reporters to get started and dig deeper!"

Although there are rumors that Wang Wei's new film is to counter Song Zhicheng's "abolition of Zhenzhenyi theory," the editors are basically noncommittal about this.

…

Before he finished speaking, the editor said with a trembling voice: "Do you know how the murderer was caught and brought to justice? After watching "The Silence of the Lambs", the murderer turned around and went into the police station to surrender, and then he was arrested..."

——How could an extremely cunning serial killer come and surrender to the police for no reason?

However, since the other party seemed so clear-headed and steadfast in his vows, she could not remain indifferent.

The editor took a few more deep breaths, then waved his arms and said, "You know about the 'Corpse Serial Murder Case', the murderer has been caught!"

Du Ying thought for a while and talked about his first crime.

An editor was surprised and asked: "What big thing happened?"

Of course, specific box office statistics will not be available until tomorrow, but based on the attendance rate and film schedule rate reported by my reporters, we can actually estimate one or two.

At this time, there was a flashlight flashing nearby.

The editors of the entertainment section are working overtime to prepare tomorrow's report on "The Silence of the Lambs".

The reason why I say this is because several times before, the entertainment media's estimated box office for films directed or written by Wang Wei were far lower than the final box office.

Before watching "The Silence of the Lambs", he did not believe that he would one day surrender.

The policewoman was stunned.

"Shouldn't that be the headline on the social page?" Editor A asked.

But now that he has a new pursuit, he believed it, and so did the police!

For a real serial killer, it's not easy to get rid of suspicion, but isn't it easy to prove the crime?

Although such forward-looking predictions from the media are unlikely to be accurate.

Not to mention entertainment media, all media will probably be affected by the news tomorrow.

The editors couldn't wait to disperse and allocate manpower to follow up on this big news overnight.

But I don’t know who it was, and lamented: "I'm afraid that "Lamb" will follow the fire! It is too difficult for colleagues to make forward-looking predictions!"
