In the hands of screenwriter Jay Chou, it becomes a suspenseful blue rose murder. Jay Chou plays the detective himself, Yu Hao of Nan Quan Mama plays the detective's assistant, and the bullet plays the suspect. Director Zhou said, "Shoot the story of a detective. So in a word, a large group of photographers came to London, the hometown of detectives, in the cold early spring, and spent 4 million to shoot this unprecedented detective blockbuster.

This story describes a murder in a park on the outskirts of London. The only clues left at the scene are a blue rose in the mouth of the deceased and a young man who escaped suspiciously. Detectives and assistants began to look at blue roses, visited flower shops, old people and even went to the library to find information, and finally found the coffee shop where the suspect worked. During the chase, the suspect was injured and fled; They had to go back to the coffee shop to ask about the suspect's residence address, and they approached the truth step by step, and the true face of the murderer was about to be exposed. What you see is not necessarily the truth. Trusting intuition is a detective's gift. Jay Chou's way of telling stories is ingenious, and the complicated split-shot scenes and tense suspense rhythm hold the audience's curiosity. The final outcome of the last stroke of God must be amazing!

There are seven scenes in the whole MV ***: 1. Parks in the suburbs of London. 2. Detective's office. 3. At the door of the deceased's old man's house, a flower shop. 5. Coffee shop. 6. London Street. 7. The suspect's house filmed in London, England, including the whole library, was used to shoot and rent sports cars.

There is not a mouth-to-mouth picture in the whole MV. At the beginning of the MV, the director also designed the movie title, photos of the murder scene, characters introduction and special effects subtitles to create a suspense opening step by step; The compact plot and music are skillfully combined, and the singing versions included in the movie soundtrack and album are different. In order to lay out the plot, Jay Chou wrote a soundtrack that matched the situation. The whole MV is 9 minutes and a half, and there is no need for dialogue or subtitles. Just by editing pictures, people can't take their eyes off them. Such a clever technique can only be achieved by Jay Chou, a director, screenwriter, performer, singer and composer! Different from the shooting of some plot MVs without lyrics, the perfect combination of images and songs in Chapter Seven of the Night has made Jay Chou's road to film directing a big step forward.
