Officials with illegal guns: burning bodies with 10 guns and more than 800 bullets after "passion killing"

  CCTV News:Suspected of illegal possession of guns!

  On January 22nd, CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection website announced the news that Yu Mayue, the former party secretary and director of Yunnan Dehong People’s Congress Standing Committee, was double-opened, which was one of the violations of law and discipline.

  Yu Mayue, former party secretary and director of the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress of Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province (data map)

  According to public information, Yu Mayue, born in Jingpo in 1957, has been teaching in Bazhai Primary School in Yingjiang County and serving as a cultural and educational assistant in Kachang District within 9 years after graduating from Dehong Normal School for Nationalities.

  Yu Mayue’s official career began in 1984. From July, 1984 to January, 1989, he served as the deputy section chief of the General Education Department of Dehong Education Bureau and the deputy director of the compilation room of folk language teaching and research. Later, he was gradually promoted to the position of deputy secretary and deputy director of the Party Committee of Dehong Education Bureau, and worked in many systems in Dehong for a long time. He used to be the deputy director of the organization department of Dehong State Committee, the deputy secretary and deputy attorney general of Dehong State Procuratorate, the deputy secretary of Dehong State Committee, and the director of the Standing Committee of Dehong State People’s Congress. In 2017, Ren Dehong Prefecture People’s Congress Standing Committee retained the treatment of cadres at the official level.

  CCTV reporter noted that Yu Mayue was not the first official involved in illegal possession of guns.

  On August 21, 2018, Chen Wenku, former member of the Standing Committee of Wuhai Municipal Committee of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and former minister of the United Front Work Department, was double-opened. The circular stated that he violated the regulations on gun management, illegally possessed and possessed guns and ammunition, and was suspected of illegal possession and possession of guns and ammunition.

  In May 2017, Li Ruohong, former chairman of Guangdong Development Bank Co., Ltd. and former deputy director of Guangdong Finance Office, was sentenced to life imprisonment. In addition to taking bribes, Li Ruohong and his mistress Lu were both accused of illegal possession of guns. In the villa where they lived, investigators found two guns and dozens of bullets.

  In October 2016, Feng Zhiming, former member of the Party Committee and deputy director of Hohhot Public Security Bureau, was sentenced to 18 years’ imprisonment for accepting bribes, huge amount of property with unknown sources, illegal possession of guns and ammunition, and corruption. It was found through trial that Feng Zhiming privately held and concealed four guns and 549 bullets.

  In July 2015, the Intermediate People’s Court of Zhoukou City, Henan Province publicly tried the case of Lian Ziheng, the former secretary-general of the Standing Committee of Henan Provincial People’s Congress, who committed the crime of accepting bribes, the crime of huge amount of property with unknown sources and the crime of illegal possession of guns and ammunition. It is reported that Lian Ziheng illegally holds 10 guns and more than 800 bullets sent by Lei Jianguo, former director of Sanmenxia Coal Bureau.

  It is not uncommon for officials to fall off their horses because of economic corruption and abuse of power, but it is unusual for them to be suspected of illegally holding guns. Some officials even brew bloody cases.

  Zhao Liping, former vice chairman of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Political Consultative Conference, shot and killed the victim in a residential area with a gun. When he dumped the body, he shot at the victim to vent his anger and burned the body with gasoline. The police didn’t inform Zhao Liping about the motive of killing and the relationship between them. However, it was reported that the two were lovers, and it was suspected that the murdered woman wanted to "expose" Zhao, but the two sides failed to negotiate, and Zhao "passionately killed". When investigating the murder-related scene, the public security organs seized his hidden revolver, 64 pistol and 49 bullets, and also seized 91 detonators illegally stored in his office. On May 26th, 2017, Zhao Liping was executed.

  Xiu Qikai, former deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Chengxiang Town, Wuping County, Fujian Province, mistakenly shot a villager as a wild boar and died. According to the family of the deceased, the gunshot wound is not harmful, but should be caused by excessive blood loss after the injury. According to media reports, after realizing that the villagers had been injured by accident, Xiu Qikai did not take corresponding rescue measures at the first time, but chose to escape. After the incident, before being detained, Xiu Qikai returned to the town government to work normally. However, in the eyes of colleagues, he is more introverted and silent than usual. "I have worked harder, but I can still see that there are things in my heart."

  In November 2014, Xiao Weidong, a public official of Zhengxiang Branch of Hengyang Food and Drug Administration of Hunan Province, killed a villager by mistake while hunting. The family of the deceased said that seven or eight people drove three cars to hunt in the mountains, and one of them said "law enforcement". This incident caused the "corruption on the shotgun" of officials’ illegal hunting to arouse social concern.

  In July 2008, Lv Dugong, former deputy secretary of Tacheng Municipal Committee of Xinjiang, received a friend and went to Yumin County to hunt with an 81-1 automatic rifle and 32 bullets. In the early morning of 27th, Lv Dugong and others mistook a couple for prey, and Lv Dugong shot and killed one person and injured another. Afterwards, many officials involved were sentenced for negligent death, illegal lending of guns, and crimes of sheltering.

  How many families have been destroyed by a series of bloody cases, and the fate of them and their loved ones has been completely changed. In fact, our country is very strict with gun management. The Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on the Control of Firearms clearly stipulates that any unit or individual is prohibited from holding, manufacturing (including altering and assembling), trading, transporting, renting or lending firearms in violation of the law. Article 128 of the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that illegal possession and possession of guns and ammunition shall be punished with fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance. If the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years. Personnel who are equipped with official guns according to law and illegally rent or lend guns shall be punished in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph.

  Under the clear provisions of these laws and regulations, some people are still lucky enough to use their powers to illegally acquire guns, which will lead to serious consequences. Ordinary people are never allowed to illegally hold guns, and public officials should set an example. Otherwise, once these people who hold power are willful, not only can their colleagues add bullets, but they will pose a greater threat to the people and social security will be difficult to protect.

How to break through China TV series in the era of "content is king"

  The annual meeting of Shanghai TV drama production and broadcasting held every spring is an important gathering of domestic TV drama industry after the year, which plays a certain role as a weather vane for the TV drama industry. Especially in the industrial forum, many elite guests from the industry jointly feel the pulse of China TV drama, and various dialogues and speeches have a far-reaching impact on the development of the industry.

  China’s TV drama industry is entering a new era in which content is king. Last year, a number of high-quality "hot dramas" and "big dramas" were just signals. The industrial forum held the day before yesterday was based on the theme of "A New Start of China TV Drama in the New Era", and invited many industry elites and company bosses who were active in the front line to discuss three major topics: "New Integration of Television Networks in the New Era", "Breakthrough and Innovation of Realistic Theme Creation in the New Era" and "Breakthrough and Innovation of Ancient Costume Theme Creation".

  Website and TV Station: From Game to Resonance

  In 2017, after experiencing multi-screen interaction, network-platform linkage and other modes, China TV drama industry appeared a lot of big dramas that were broadcast in the background or even on the internet alone. However, Chen Yuren, vice president of Shanghai Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group Co., Ltd., pointed out that "the real explosive dramas are all network-platform resonance", so he advocated that producers, traditional platforms and network platforms should "join hands" on the spot. If we can build products that are basically close to the common denominator, we can make its broadcast benefit the most.

  Chen Yuren’s words made all the guests agree very much. Regarding the integration of networks, Yang Weidong, the rotating president of Alibaba Culture and Entertainment Group and the president of Dayouku Business Group from the network platform, said: "The mentality between TV stations and network platforms may be the most critical basis for cooperation."

  After the topic of "mentality" was put forward, the producer also pointed out the topic of "posture". Hou Hongliang, the chairman of Noon Sunshine Film and Television Co., Ltd., said: "In order to win-win, everyone should consider each other as much as possible, including our content production. It will be difficult for all platforms to adjust the content production conditions to the highest level. This is not necessarily a virtuous circle for the whole industry. The gesture of cooperation is to make the other party satisfied and comfortable. "

  When the three parties can cooperate smoothly, the discussion on the broadcast mode becomes the top priority. In order to maximize the influence of TV series, Sun Zhonghuai, vice president of Tencent and CEO of Penguin Film and Television, said with his own experience: "Video websites and first-line TV prime files are broadcast simultaneously. At the same time, paying members of video websites have certain priority. We have basically tried and tested, and this model will not affect the ratings of TV stations, but also benefit the paying members of video websites. " In this regard, Wang Zhonglei, co-founder, vice chairman and CEO of Huayi Brothers Media Co., Ltd. agrees that this will be the mainstream model in the future: "Network broadcast, members give priority to it in advance, it must be a masterpiece."

  Process and result: respect the creative system and don’t expect "explosion"

  On the screen of China in 2017, the performance of realistic TV series is very eye-catching, and a series of realistic masterpieces, such as My First Half of Life and Bright Days of Life, have achieved fruitful results in terms of word of mouth and ratings. Therefore, the topic of the second forum was "Breakthrough and Innovation in the Creation of Realistic Themes in the New Era", and invited Chen Xiao, Huang Lan, Liu Liu, Li Xiao and Shen Yan, who are active in the field of realistic TV dramas, to participate.

  Chen Xiao, vice president of iQiyi, is optimistic about the frequent trend of "explosion" of realistic themes, and even predicts that "this recovery may continue until 2018 or even later". However, the directors, screenwriters and producers at the scene are quite calm. They said that they are focused on creation and it is difficult to predict whether their works will become "explosive". Shen Yan, director of My First Half Life, said, "Every play has its own life, I think ‘ Explosions ’ It is really something that can’t be met. " Producer Huang Lan pointed out with a burst of blood: "I hope that when I come up, I think I am an explosion, and often people like that will not succeed." Screenwriter Li Xiao also believes that the key to making a good TV series is to "like yourself and put your true feelings into it", and the result is unpredictable.

  The result of the work is hard to predict, and the creation of all the guests has its own system. The screenwriter Liu Liu said seriously that every work needs her to experience three or even five years of thinking and experience life: "You don’t have three or five years of infiltration, no in-depth communication, you don’t go into the souls of the characters, you are not familiar with their normal language system, and you can’t write such a play." Huang Lan also shared: "Without the investment of time, it is difficult to truly gain universal recognition in details and lines. This is the biggest difficulty."

  Huang Lan also said: "Although the investment is great, you get a high income, and you can get the evaluation of so many viewers within a wide broadcast range. That kind of happiness, I think, is a lifetime harvest and memory."

  Theme and Market: Broadening Dimensions and Avoiding Homogeneity

  Despite the rise of realistic themes, costume drama is still a magic weapon for the traffic and viewing of many platforms. Facing the implementation of new control policies, the creation and broadcasting of costume drama are also undergoing new adjustments, and the content of costume drama is also undergoing "variation". Ma Boyong, a screenwriter and writer, said: "In recent years, the creation of historical themes is obviously not limited to the struggle for political power. The themes are very wide, and even what kind of industries have a stage for costume dramas. I think from the general trend, costume drama can indeed be extended to a very broad dimension. For example, it is also a good attempt to adapt the costume TV series to the style of spy war. "

  In the writer Chang Jiang’s view, the theme expansion of such costume dramas is "the market forces everyone to produce something new and look good" and "because there are many costume dramas on the market, everyone is considering how to avoid homogenization". After the theme is expanded, the big coffees are also thinking about how to close the distance between the costume drama and the audience. Ding Hei, who created the series "Daqin Empire", said that although they wrote "imperial dreams", they focused on emotions, including family ties and friendship. "It is this kind of costume drama that brings closer communication with today’s audience." Fang Ying, vice president of Huacekerton, agrees: "This is the emotional communication between the audience and us, including people’s understanding of society and their experience, which will resonate more easily."

  One of the difficulties in the creation of ancient costume themes is the bridge between historical truth and artistic fiction. Ma Boyong said: "After all, historical dramas are not historical papers, and there will definitely be fiction, but we must respect historical logic. Many times, the audience thinks that this costume drama is not good-looking, not that it does not conform to history, but does not conform to historical logic. " Fang Ying also mentioned that some changes are inevitable. "We want to make the vision itself look better, so we will make some minor adjustments in colors and fabrics, which may not be reached by ancient people at that time, but the picture will look better."

Sun Li, the heroine, won the honor of "Outstanding Quality Star of the Year (Female)". When taking the stage to receive the award, the host asked Sun Li to put his "crescent moon" and a "half moon" together, and this "half moon" must be a choice between Wu Pin and Shen Xing. The witty Sun Li finally decided to put the two "half moons" together and put on his own "crescent moon" to make the "flowers that year" perfect "full moon". The appearance of "Wu Pin" and "Shen Xing Shift" on the same stage also captured the audience’s attention.

Accompanied by music on the big screen, China TV dramas that have been popular for 40 years have been played. These four actors with many years of performance experience expressed their "most unforgettable experiences as actors" before singing. Wang Kai said that when filming "Educated Youth" in the northeast of MINUS 40 degrees, the crew used a blower to blow snow on them because of the need to create a snowstorm scene. After that, his fingers were frostbitten, and water dripped from his chin to form ice ballast. Through that role, he realized the value of courage.

"Behind the Scenes" | He collaborated with Jackie Chan, Zhang Yimou, and Yu Feihong underwater

1905 movie network feature "With us around, the remote water supply can’t be cut off." In the movie, the firefighter Xu Xiaobin, who plays the role, jumps into the sea full of oil and flames in order to clean the water pump.

He worked hard to repair, and the final image of his unfortunate sacrifice was vivid and heroic in the lens of the underwater photographer, causing many viewers to cry.

In the movie, the "Expendables" attacked Jingzhou City by water, and the surging light and shadow added another "color" to the black and white ink painting. 


Here, the photographer and the eldest brother soaked in the biting cold water for several hours before completing the drama of diving in the ice cave. The underwater world in the lens is quiet and beautiful, which is fascinating.


How did the amazing underwater shots in the movie, either thrilling or beautiful, work, and how did this special group of underwater photographers, little known to audiences, work?


In this issue of "Behind the Scenes", let’s follow Sun Xun, a well-known domestic underwater photographer who has been in charge of films such as "Shadow", "Kung Fu Yoga" and "Hero of Fire", into the "underwater mystery" behind the lens.


 01. Every shot is a story

After seven years of formal employment, he was responsible for the underwater shooting of countless movies, TV series, documentaries and advertisements. "Heroes of Fire" has always been fresh in Sun Xun’s memory. Since the film is set in the context of an oil pipeline explosion, there must be oil stains, garbage and flames in the seawater. In order to realistically restore the effect of seawater, the art and props team "mixed" pieces of sticky oil stains with starch and paint, and also put in fresh scallops, oysters and other kinds of seafood. The flames are also real burning, which also poses a big challenge to the underwater photography team.


"The camera, the diving equipment, and the face are all covered in a layer of black oil, just like a miner. After shooting for two days, the seafood was soaked for two days, just like a pot of seafood soup, and finally the whole equipment had to be cleaned. But the props team really bothered to have the final real effect." Sun Xun said. At the "Fire Hero" press conference, recalling the shooting experience, Ou Hao said that he almost drowned and experienced a terrifying moment. In the movie, he was shown with a rope tied around his waist, but in the actual shooting, after going into the water, the person kept floating up, and he could only tie the rope to his feet to let people pull him underwater. In addition, shooting outdoors in winter was very physically exhausted, and he could not advance or retreat for a time. "Even now I think about it, I am still a little afraid."


Sun Xun also praised Ou Hao’s contribution: "The actors are very hard-working, and the director and staff are sparing no effort to recreate the tension at that time… China lacks such a film, and we feel honored to be able to participate in the shooting of such a key scene." If the key word of "Hero of Fire" is "bitter", the largest film that Sun Xun has participated in "water drama" is the crime film "Involved in the Sea of Anger" that will be released in the summer. In order to show the human entanglement in extreme environments, there is a long sea shooting in the film, and even Huang Bo, who has excellent water quality, calls it "the most tiring in history".


Sun Xun also felt the same way, "I first shot in the open sea, the sea was very windy, and I was seasick and vomited, which is also an embarrassing thing for me as an underwater photographer. Then I shot a big play in the water shed. Teacher Huang Bo is famous for his water quality, and the completion is very high. He also cooperates well with Teacher Zhou Xun. In addition, the underwater is a dual-camera shooting, and there is a scene of escape in the car. I am looking forward to the effect of the film." Underwater shooting can be both exciting and beautiful and romantic, and the starring literary film shows this.


"Although the film was not very difficult, the shot was very beautiful. At that time, it was Yu Feihong’s inner scene. The beauty of the underwater shot and the mood of the actors fit perfectly. It had the temperament of an Asian literary film. It was the most satisfactory scene from the creator’s point of view," Sun Xun said.

02. Tired and happy

Sun Xun studied engineering at university, but chose the translation industry for his work. When he worked as a translator for a film crew, he began to get involved in photography because of his interest. It can be said that his career has been challenging himself.


In the process of engaging in film and television photography, Sun Xun found that underwater photography teams in China are very scarce. "The film industry is developing rapidly, and industrialization is becoming more and more complex. At that time, there was a wave of aerial photography, and we thought that we might be able to do it underwater."


In this way, from the "dry duck" who couldn’t even swim at the beginning, to the diving expert who could control the machine in the water and move around, Sun Xun and the team developed a set of underwater photography methodology almost from scratch.


There were many differences between underwater photography and shooting on the ground. In particular, shooting in the field was greatly affected by the weather and water conditions, and it was difficult to communicate underwater and underwater. There were three core members of the team, each performing their own duties, and all of them were indispensable: Sun Xun was responsible for the underwater handheld, composition, and camera movement; the second person was responsible for monitoring the focus on the ground and communicating with the ground photography team; there was another person responsible for equipment, coordinating actors, adjusting underwater props, costumes, etc.


 At the same time, the photographer also has to have multiple roles while holding the camera, not only to control the buoyancy, but also to control the machine, to ensure the focus and composition during the movement, and to always pay attention to the safety of the actors. Many directors are not familiar with underwater shooting, and the pre-designed split shots are difficult to complete in actual shooting. For example, due to the influence of buoyancy, the actors will naturally float up when they fall into the water. In order to achieve the "sinking" effect pursued by the director, the team had to bury the Weiya point underwater, "so that they can pull it in reverse, so that they can control the people to slowly go down."


In addition, the actor’s water and physical fitness will also affect the shooting effect. The photographer needs to make an agreement with the actor in advance for underwater gestures such as "rise, sink, take another shot", and pay close attention to the actor’s state. At the scene, the host Roman also changed into equipment and challenged a "drowning scene" shooting. After just shooting for a while, not only did his nose get into water, but his physical strength was also exhausted, and he experienced the difficulty of shooting underwater.


Sun Xun admits that this kind of "hard work" is the norm in this type of work. Because the crew often focuses on shooting underwater scenes a few days ago or when they are close to finishing, the time is tight and the task is heavy. "Generally, it takes 14 to 16 hours to shoot every day, and sometimes even 20 hours."


"If you really come to the scene to watch our filming, you will definitely feel very bitter, but as people who love this profession, we are very excited to shoot, we don’t feel hard, and we don’t feel cold. My favorite is coming out of the water. The director said: Great, this is what I want, I feel very fulfilled!"


In the process of learning, Sun Xun often revisits the classic Hollywood films. As early as the 1954 film "Black Lake Demon Pond", the pioneers began to experiment with underwater photography, and he was deeply admired for his spirit of exploration.

In contrast, Sun Xun said bluntly that the domestic team has a lot of room for improvement in both technology and equipment, but he firmly believes that with the continuous improvement of the industrialization level of domestic films and the improvement of the process, the trickle will definitely merge into rivers and seas, and the underwater lens will definitely record more exciting Chinese stories.
