Chapter 10 Fermentation
With a slow and peaceful piano music, the film officially begins. The beginning of the pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info is very ordinary, which is the description of the director, screenwriter and starring in white letters on a black background.
Yan Liangpeng was a little surprised when he saw that the director, screenwriter and starring Gu Wenwu were all starring. Although it is only a short film, the more such a short film, the higher the requirements for the actors' performances. After all, to impress the audience in a short period of time, the actor's performance is crucial.
For more than ten minutes in a work, if the actor keeps dancing the play. The audience is full of disobedience, who cares about what you want to express in this work.
"Isn't this student a little too confident?" Yan Liangpeng said secretly.
The subtitles fade and the film officially begins. The first thing that appeared in front of Yan Liangpeng's eyes was an open piano. The camera then shifts to a man lying on a couch with his eyes closed, and then to the protagonist wearing only a pair of pants, with a person standing behind him, and the camera does not capture her face.
In this scene transition, the protagonist's narration also sounds.
"I rarely play in public, except for special occasions and audiences. Like tonight. I don't know who this man is, I can't even see him, I'm blind. Besides, it's not for him, it's for the people behind me. “
A gunshot rang out, and the picture jumped out of the title - "The Tuner".
"Interesting." After only looking at the beginning, Yan Liangpeng's interest was attracted. This kind of flashback narrative technique is common, but when used well, it can take the quality of the work to the next level. Like now.
In these few tens of seconds, the director left several suspense for the audience. Who is this man, who is the person standing behind him, why is the protagonist naked, why does he know that there is a man on the couch if he is blind? All kinds of suspense make people want to continue watching.
It's a bit interesting to be a person who can get a director's license. Yan Liangpeng's sense of expectation is even greater.
Read on. When Yan Liangpeng saw that the protagonist failed in the competition, he understood why the protagonist said at the beginning that he rarely played in public. After seeing the protagonist pretending to be blind, I understand why what he says contradicts himself.
As the film reflects, the problems left at the beginning are solved one by one. The confrontation between the protagonist and his wife also had a profound impact on Yan Liangpeng.
Good acting. Yan Liangpeng found that he was worried before. Think about it, after all, it's your graduation work, who would mess around.
"She can't kill me when I'm playing the piano, she can't kill me when I'm playing the piano." The film ends just when the protagonist is playing the piano and hypnotizing himself.
This was followed by the cast and production crew. Gu Wenwu also thanked Yu Xuezhen for his help at the end of the film.
But Yan Liangpeng didn't care about this, what he thought about was whether the protagonist was dead or not.
It stands to reason that he should be dead, but in the end, there is no performance, so how can it be asserted that he is dead.
By the way, the gunshot at the beginning of the film. Yan Liangpeng suddenly recalled this small detail. At first, he thought it was the opening sound, but now it seems that this is the ending.
Call. Yan Liangpeng exhaled a long breath. It's been a long time since I've seen something like this. In his impression, it seems that no one's graduation work is so exciting.
This student's future is limitless. Yan Liangpeng didn't think much about it, and immediately wrote an email and sent it to the head of the department.
He is only the teacher in charge of review, and it is Wang Rui, the head of the department, who can really decide which work will represent Capital Entertainment University to participate in the Daxia University Student Film Festival.
However, there should be no work comparable to "The Tuner". He thought.
Yangxin Community, in a high-end villa. Lin Feng looked at the finished "Tuner" displayed on the computer screen, and his face was cloudy.
How so? How could he shoot such a perfect work, didn't it take him half a year to write "The Piano"? How is it possible to write such a good work in such a short period of time.
Is he destined to crush me? No, I haven't lost yet, my works are not necessarily inferior to Gu Wenwu. As long as I shoot "Piano" well, I don't know who will kill the deer. I can't just throw in the towel.
As a student at Capital Entertainment University. There are generally only two places about schools on the Internet. One is the school's forum. That's where the students chat and fart, which is equivalent to the post bar that just appeared. There is also a school video site.
This video site is not like those video sites that have not yet appeared, it is only for students of Capital Entertainment University.
The videos on the website are all made by Nortel students or starred in some of the works. For students to watch, download and learn. The graduation work of the Department of Directing was published on this website. It's just a publication to a dedicated module.
As a freshman in the directing department, Wang Mingfeng is the time to have dreams and pursuits. He was thrilled to learn that the school also had such a website. Only by observing other people's works can we know our shortcomings. He is the one who will stand on the shoulders of giants.
As a result, it became his habit to browse around this site every day. Today, he found a new work in the section of the graduate's work.
Short films, it doesn't hurt to watch them. Wang Mingfeng thought. So he clicked on the video, and then it was out of control.
He watched it three times before he realized that the original gunshot at the beginning was the end. In the end, the protagonist can't escape the fate of being killed.
God's work. Wang Mingfengjue's work is no worse than the works of some masters. Such a work of God must be shared with others. Wang Mingfeng did not hesitate, and immediately posted the link to the campus forum.
"Absolute masterpiece, I watched it three times to understand the ending, how many times do you want to watch it? 》
The absolutely attractive title, coupled with the fact that Wang Mingfeng often mingles in school forums, is a small celebrity. Many people who were browsing the forum were attracted and clicked on the link to see what kind of work he called a masterpiece.
As it turned out, this was indeed a work of God. This film, which won the Best Short Film Award at the Louvin International Film Festival and the Best Short Film Award at the 2012 French César Awards, still exudes amazing charm in this world.
Soon, the post was topped to the top of the forum. After reading "The Tuner", the forum management also added essence to this post.
Many people who have just entered the forum, as soon as they saw this conspicuous essence hot post, subconsciously clicked in, so they added a bit of heat to this post.
When Wang Mingfeng entered the campus forum again, he was also taken aback. Under my own post, there are already nearly a thousand comments. At a glance, it is all messages of amazement and praise. There are also those who haven't understood the ending after watching it a few times.
"A true masterpiece, the top one."
"As soon as this kind of masterpiece comes out, it will directly kill other entertainment universities."
"The heroine in the film has such a big mouth, how could she be invited to play?"
"Is the protagonist dead?"
"I don't think I'm dead, after all, someone saw him enter the house, and the woman didn't dare to kill him."
......
Everyone expressed their opinions on the plot of this film. Suddenly, I don't know who proposed it, saying that I would post this video on the forums of other entertainment universities, slap the faces of other schools, and raise the prestige of Capital Entertainment University.
There was a responder at the bottom.
"Good proposal, I'm in charge of China Entertainment University."
"Then I'll go to Mingyu University to post."
"I'll go to Zheyu."
......
A group of students who are idle and have nothing to do are in such a hurry. They downloaded the video on the school's website and began posting on campus forums at famous entertainment universities throughout Daxia.
Forget about posting, some students don't think it's a big deal, and the title of the post is very provocative. Like "sweeping China Entertainment, disagreeing to argue", "The entertainment is all scum, look at our first entertainment" and the like.
Well, these posts undoubtedly provoked the anger of students in other schools. They wanted to see who dared to breathe such a big lip.
And Gu Wenwu didn't know anything about this. In his opinion, the forum model is still a bit old, and he lacks interest in this ancient model.
After filming his graduation work, he can relax for the time being. But he suddenly realized a problem. That is for the filming of "The Tuner", he almost spent his savings, and he is about to graduate, and he will not be allowed to live in the dormitory at that time.
He had to find a way to make money quickly.
