Since this movie is set in the western cowboy era, the props in the movie must have the flavor of the cowboy era of the last century.
Guns are very important props.
The gun that Wang Dengming took from the heroine was a six-shot revolver that American western cowboys usually wear in movies.
This repeating pistol is the famous Colt revolver. It is easy to carry and very simple to use. Anyone with a little training in shooting can quickly and skillfully use it. Cowboys can still hit the target at a hundred steps on a galloping horse. It is the most effective self-defense weapon used to deal with attacks by wild beasts, bandits, and Indians.
In a battle in Pedernales, 15 Texas Rangers equipped with such pistols beat more than 70 Comanche Indian warriors to a pulp and defeated them. From then on, the Colt repeating revolver became famous on the western frontier. Texas Rangers and cowboys nicknamed the Colt repeating revolver a "six-shooter."
The first thing you do when you get the pistol is, of course, to check for fingerprints.
Wang Dengming asked Achiro to go to the county police station immediately with a gun and check his fingerprints first.
At the same time, Wang Dengming looked at the prop gun again. It was almost exactly the same as the real gun. It could fire bullets without warheads, making the actors more realistic when shooting with the gun. Moreover, the weight, color, old and new of the prop gun and the real gun were It's almost the same, if you don't pay attention, no one can notice it.
The heroine is still in shock. Her shot, a sharp shot, hit the 'sheriff' in the heart, causing the 'sheriff' to stop immediately.
The heroine plays a passionate and fearless cowgirl who wears a felt hat, riding boots, and a dagger on her waist. In the plot, the cowgirl draws her gun and shoots because she refuses to be questioned and harassed by the 'sheriff'.
In the plot, the heroine cannot hit the 'sheriff'. The police chief is the protagonist, and the two will have to date in the future.
Unexpectedly, the heroine really killed the hero.
"Miss Mi Luoye, please calm down&039;
The heroine Mi Luoye is a beautiful and sunny girl. Her long brown hair makes her look particularly sexy and elegant.
However, her eyes were red from crying and she looked sad.
"Officer, officer, I don't know this is a real gun, I don't know, I don't know&039;
She sat on a stool made of steel and canvas and began to speak in pure English with an accent that sounded like someone from Chicago.
Wang Dengming was sitting opposite her, on the same small stool.
There was no one around them, just in a tent.
"Miss Mi Luoye, I know very well that you don't know that the gun in your hand is a real gun, otherwise, you wouldn't have fired."
Mi Luoye nodded desperately.
"Did you fire any shots yesterday?"
"It was fired. It was a prop gun. It was always a fake gun, sir."
"Always?"
"Yes, from the beginning of the filming of this movie, the crew has been using those prop guns."
"How many prop guns do the crew have in total?"
"Six, Sheriff."
"Okay, think about it carefully. Who gave you the gun in your hand?"
"Props master, Bob."
"Well, do your prop guns have numbers?"
"No, Sheriff."
"When did he give you the gun?"
"About three hours ago."
"Have you checked it out?"
"No, I never check because these are prop guns."
"Okay, you call Bob in, you can rest."
Bob, a short man with a particularly high hairline, like a half-bald young man, came into the tent. He looked quite panicked, which was understandable. He was a prop master, and he kept the guns and distributed them to actors in need. After they were used, he would take them back.
"Sheriff, I, I feel incredible."
Bob said as soon as he came in.
"Why do you feel incredible?"
"Sergeant, these prop guns have never had any problems since the filming took place, more than a month ago."
Wang Dengming was silent for a while, "You mean, all these guns were used when the crew was filming?"
"Of course, Sheriff, the gun I handed over to Mi Luoye today was handed over to her with the prop bullets filled by me. The bullets have no warheads and the front end is wrapped with iron sheet. I put it into the prop gun and pulled the trigger. It emits noise and white smoke for effect.”
"The problem is, it was a real gun that was almost the same as a prop gun. That gun looked very old, an antique-level gun."
Bob's face became even paler and he said, "Chief, I don't know what happened. When Nimijo fell, I was completely stunned."
"Poor Nimijo."
The male protagonist was quite handsome and young, so it was a bit unfair to be beaten to death in such an unclear manner.
"Bob, don't be nervous. Mi Luoye said that the prop gun used by the crew has always been normal. Please tell me when was the last time the prop gun was used except for this accident."
"Yesterday, yesterday afternoon, all six prop guns of the crew were used. No problem. Sheriff, you can ask the director about this."
"I will, about what time in the afternoon?"
"At four o'clock in the afternoon, the actors each had a gun and they all fired, no problem."
"Are you sure whoever had the gun fired?"
"I'm sure, we took close-ups of every gun fired, and I watched the video clip yesterday."
"Okay, great, then, after the actors finished filming the movie scenes, when did you take back all the prop guns?"
"It was yesterday afternoon, in the evening, about 6:30, that I put the prop gun into the box."
"Is that box locked?"
"No, it's just a wooden box with no lock and a lid. You can take it out by opening it. No one would play with a prop gun for fun."
"What about the bullets without bullets?"
"In that box, too."
Bob took Wang Dengming to another tent, pointed to a large wooden box, and said, "Sheriff, they are all in there."
Wang Dengming opened the box and checked the bullets. He found that these bullets were specially made and were still different from real bullets. He could tell at a glance that they were different from the bullet casings left at the scene.
"Okay, sir, don't worry, we will find out. However, until the truth comes out, you can only stay on the set and can't go anywhere."
"Definitely, Sheriff, please find that damn guy quickly. Someone must have put the real gun in and taken out the fake gun while I wasn't paying attention."
"Well, that's a pretty good reasoning."
After Wang Dengming asked Bob, he started asking the director of the crew.
Director Pierre was a middle-aged man with a big belly and a bold look. When Wang Dengming found him, he was smoking a cigarette and his face looked quite depressed.
"What the hell, what the hell, can this continue to be filmed?"
Before Wang Dengming asked, the director was complaining.
Wang Dengming looked at him.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Police."
He put out the cigarette in his hand and asked Wang Dengming to sit down. He had a tent, a small tent, by himself.
The facilities in his tent are the best, including beer, coffee, champagne, etc.
"Would you like a can?"
The director held up the beer in his hand.
"All right."
The director threw the beer over, and Wang Dengming opened the beer can, took a sip, and said, "How much did you invest in this film?"
"Eight million US dollars, Sheriff, are you interested in investing in the film and television industry?"
"Interested, but no money."
The director saluted Wang Dengming with a beer can and said, "Mr. Police, everything was going smoothly and our movie would be a big hit. I didn't expect that at the critical moment, something bad like this would happen. Do you know , I also invested in this movie.”
"How much did you invest?"
"one million."
"You are a rich man, director, tell me, what do you think of this case?"
The director looked towards the entrance of the tent and lowered his voice: "I think Romano did this?"
"Who is Romano?"
"He's our set designer here."
