有钱人的电影

〈事件現場製造〉由長期合作的夥伴陳琬尹撰寫劇本。透過一個謀殺案件中的槍手吳敦，我們從這位殺手不尋常的多重身分——電影人、劊子手、幫派份子、愛國者，嘗試捕捉台灣政治史中的集體潛意識。1984 年，美籍台裔作家江南，在美國自宅遭台灣殺手槍殺離世。事後由於美國當局的介入緝查，此案件最終被證實為是台灣情報局與台灣黑幫竹聯合作的政治謀殺案。最後，台灣政府向江南的家屬協商，與其家屬簽訂了保密協定，其中包含不得以「電影」形式公開案情。這件作品的主角吳敦，即是當年開槍的殺手。在案情曝光後，台灣當局受美國壓力，吳敦被判處了無期徒刑，服刑六年後獲大赦出獄。出獄後的吳敦仍是竹聯幫的重要幹部，同時也以製片人身分成立了電影公司並拍攝多部電影，其中也包含了許多「武俠片」。而在這次作品中，我們重返過往吳敦曾使用、而現已廢棄的電影製片廠拍攝武俠片段，並與一個特殊的 3D 掃描公司——刑案現場中負責鑑識掃描工程的團隊——合作製作動畫，並由演員、掃描團隊共同重現其工作場景。製作單位：法國國立當代藝術工作室This work is a cooperation with my long-time collaborator, scriptwriter Chen Wan-Yin.Starting from a gunman involved in a murder case, I seek to reflect the collective unconscious within society and politics through the gunman's multiple peculiar roles—a filmmaker, a killer, a gangster, and a patriot.In 1984, when Taiwan was still under Martial Law, a Taiwanese American writer Henry Liu was shot to death in his own house in the US by a Taiwanese assassin. Afterward, due to the intervention and investigation of the US government authorities, this case was eventually confirmed to be a political murder jointly committed by the Military Intelligence Bureau and the biggest mafia United Bamboo Gang in Taiwan, as the government paid the mafia to kill Henry Liu. In the end, the Taiwanese government negotiated with Henry Liu’s family, who signed a non-disclosure agreement, part of which prohibited the revelation of the case in the form of cinema.The protagonist of this work, Wu Dun, is the assassin who fired the shot at the time. After the case was exposed, the Taiwanese authorities were pressured by the US, and Wu Dun was thus sentenced to life imprisonment. However, he was given amnesty and discharged from prison after six years. After he got out of prison, Wu Dun remained an important member of the United Bamboo Gang, and he established a film company as a producer with the support of his mafia influence, making several “wuxia films” – refers to specific traditional Chinese swordplay films. In the genre of “wuxia film,” the story of the conflicts between a government and local gangsters has often been the main theme, along with a strongly nationalistic ideology. In this work, I revisited the film studio that was once used by Wu Dun and is now deserted to recompose the fragments of the political assassination and the scenes of wuxia films, and I cooperated with a 3D scanning team—their job is to provide forensic scanning service at crime scenes—to make a digital double of Wu Dun.Produced by Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains
