Chapter 3: The Tuner
is not only a low-cost micro-movie, but also related to the piano, and can leave a deep impression on Han Qiu's heart, then there is only one movie. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
That's The Tuner!
The duration of this micro-film is very short, counting the beginning and the final subtitles, it is less than fifteen minutes in total, but it is this short fifteen minutes, but through a simple story, it directly pokes at the deepest contradictions of human nature, and outrageously tells several profound truths.
In the whole film, none of the plots of "The Tuner" are superfluous, nor is it said that there is something missing that leads to the lack of connotation of the film. Its plot can be described as perfect, and the connotation revealed by the whole film in the end is also shocking to the heart.
In its previous life, its score on Huaxia Douban can be said to have reached 9.2 points! But even though it has a high rating, its popularity is not too wide in China
First, it is a foreign micro-film, and it is also a French-language film in a small language. Generally speaking, short films are watched by fewer people than long films, let alone French. Second, it is only spread on the Internet, and has never been recommended by any domestic media, nor has it had any opportunity to emerge. Third, it is different from the profound connotation of ordinary movies, which is thought-provoking at the same time, but also leads to the fact that it can only be spread in a small circle on the Internet.
As a literary youth, Han Qiu likes this micro-movie very much, and the thought-provoking connotation in it makes Han Qiu even more in awe. Movies, in Han Qiu's view, are to tell people something through the interpretation of a story, or that after watching this movie, people have emotional resonance, inner reflection and deep thought.
The above is a literary movie, and Han Qiu himself likes this. There are also commercial films, which are generally big productions, and make the audience's adrenaline rush through cool big scenes, so as to get unparalleled viewing enjoyment.
However, this kind of movie often lacks connotation, in layman's terms, after watching it, you will only think it is very handsome, cool, exciting, and enjoyable when watching, but after watching it for a while, you don't feel much anymore, and even, some commercial movies you quickly forget the plot after watching it.
In short, literary films and commercial films have their own advantages and markets. What can win the box office is a commercial film, but the movies that can stand the test of time are often literary films, and most of the films that can win Oscars and global awards are also literary films.
Have you ever seen a sci-fi movie that won the Oscar for Best Picture? The answer is: no!
From the perspective of a director, in his heart, Han Qiu has a balance between commercial films and literary films, in his previous life, he tried both kinds of films, and both achieved good results. However, he is still inclined to literary films in his heart, and he still tends to play the emotional card with the audience through movies. Of course, the idea of filming the micro-film "The Tuner" became more and more intense in Han Qiu's heart.
Just do it, Han Qiu immediately returned to the classroom, took out the pen and notebook and started writing. In his previous life, he watched "The Tuner" no less than five times, and he knew the development of the plot well. What's more, he himself is still a professional director, so Han Qiu still has a hand on things like writing scripts and getting shots.
And when writing the script, Han Qiu found that the memories of his previous life seemed to be solidified, as if they had been carved into his mind with a carving knife, and he could clearly recall any detail he had experienced. This naturally includes the movies he watches. So in this way, Han Qiu wrote more easily.
The plot of "The Tuner" is less than fourteen minutes, and it took less than two hours for Han Qiu to write the entire script. By the time Han Qiu put down his pen, it was already noon.
With the script in hand, Han Qiu hastily settled his lunch in the cafeteria, and then rushed back to the dormitory non-stop.
"Comrades, I've already got the script!" As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Han Qiu waved the script in his hand and said loudly.
"Oh, so fast?" Ye Chen popped out of the bed and said in surprise, "This time it's not going to shoot a small animal in the dormitory, right?"
"Nonsense! Han Qiu threw the script on the table, and then walked into the bathroom, "The script is there, you guys should take a look at it first."
"Okay, I'm going to see what you can get up with." Ye Chen said with a smile. But before he finished speaking, the script was already in Lin Hua's hand.
"Don't worry, let me take a look!"
However, when Lin Hua looked at it for a moment, the smile on his face slowly faded, as if a pair of invisible hands grabbed his heart and made him twist his expression. And when he finished reading the script, his face had become extremely heavy, no matter how much he tried to pretend to be calm, he couldn't hide the deep thought between his eyebrows.
"Lao Lin, have you finished reading it? Hurry up and throw it at me when you're done. Seeing that Lin Hua was silent, Ye Chen shouted hurriedly.
"Oh, here you go. Lin Hua reluctantly handed the script to Ye Chen, as if he was not handing over the script, but a rare treasure.
For the students of their directing department, an excellent script is undoubtedly a rare treasure.
And when Ye Chen finished reading the script, the hippie color on his face disappeared, and it was replaced by a look of shock.
As if he couldn't get enough of it, Ye Chen turned to the first page again and browsed again, only this time his browsing speed was twice as slow as before!
In the end, Ye Chen flipped through the plot of the first and last pages over and over again, combining the two plots before and after, the shock on his face became more and more intense, and finally slowly turned into a sigh.
"This plot .....!" Ye Chen held the script, the hesitation on his face seemed to show that he didn't just describe the story.
"You're scared too, aren't you?" Lin Hua smiled bitterly.
"Not only was I scared, I was almost shocked by Lao Han's plot and couldn't speak, one word: I'm convinced!"
"You're three words...."
"I don't care, anyway, Lao Tzu is convinced, what does the graduation project say this time, I will also follow the old Korean bastard, such a script, if I don't shoot it, I feel uncomfortable!"
At this time, Han Qiu came out of the bathroom and said with a smile: "How about it, this script, do you want to play it?"
"Nonsense, of course you have to do it!" Ye Chen replied without hesitation.
Lin Hua spread his hands, "You said so, do I still have room to refuse?"
Han Qiu nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, let's decide, let's shoot this script, it's only the middle of April now, that is to say, we still have more than a month to complete this movie, but today let's scrape together the money first, and then go to find equipment, actors and venues in the afternoon." ”
"Okay!"
"No problem!"
The two nodded without any doubt. In the end, the three of them scraped together the money, a total of 13,500 yuan, which was a little more than Han Qiu expected.
"The camera thing is a bit of a hassle, though. Han Qiu frowned.
"As before, go to the school to rent. Ye Chen replied.
"No, I'm saying that this time we're going to have a good camera, and we can't just rent one as we used to. ”
Lin Hua pondered: "Good cameras, schools also have them, but the price of renting them may be a bit expensive." ”
"That's right, I'm just worried about this, this money, throw away other costs, and I'm afraid the rest won't be able to rent for many days. ”
"What's the use of talking about this now, just ask in the past?" Ye Chen frowned and proposed.
Han Qiu pondered for a while, and then clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's go and ask first!"
After speaking, the three young men walked out of the dormitory, accompanied by a script of just a few pages.
As everyone knows, the first step taken by the three of them was praised by the later media as the first step in the rise of Chinese films!
