Chapter 55: The Tuner

"Speaking of which, sister, have you ever been home recently?" In the office, Luo Dong asked his sister, and his mother's sudden phone call made him deeply feel the care from the family, but when he thought of Luo University, Luo Dong felt very relieved. Pen?

"No, I'm so busy with work, where do I have the time to go home." Luo Nan replied without raising her head, unlike Luo Dong, she has not been treated differently by Luo Changqing as a daughter since she was a child, but like her own mother, Luo Nan is also very dissatisfied with Luo Changqing, so the relationship between father and daughter can only be said to be average, and Luo Nan himself is very strong, and he moved out of his home after graduating and working, and achieved complete economic independence.

"Oh." Luo Dong answered, didn't speak again, and Lin Qianxi filled him with another cup of tea when he saw this. Lin Qianxi naturally knows about Luo Dong's family problems, but she doesn't know how to comfort Luo Dong, after all, she has a lot of problems in her own family, and in this regard, the two also maintain a high degree of consistency.

The office was quiet for a while, and Luo Dong took a sip of tea, not knowing what he was thinking about in his head. Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and Yi Zhenfeng rushed in, his eyes wandered around the office, and quickly fell on Luo Dong's body.

"Xiao Dongzi, it's good that you're here, I'll tell you something." Running to Luo Dong's side and sitting down, Yi Zhenfeng poured himself a cup of tea, poured a sip, and continued: "I just came from Old Man Hu's side, he gave you a suggestion, you can see if it can be used." ”

"Suggestions?" Luo Dong was a little puzzled, "About "Dragon Gate Inn"? ”

"No, no, it's about the news on the Internet during this time. Xiao Dongzi, isn't there a lot of news on the Internet that is not optimistic about your directing ability, Old Man Hu gave you a suggestion, let you hurry up and shoot a short film of a few minutes or ten minutes, and after filming, we will put it on Yixun Video Network, so that people can have a rough judgment of your directing ability, which should help you save some wind reviews. ”

"Make a short film?" Luo Dong thought about it, not to mention, judging from the current situation, there are still twenty days before the celebration month, if it is to make a short film of a few minutes or ten minutes, it is indeed too late, but to make a short film that can be recognized by the general public and the media, among them, the script is very important.

So Hu Runjun only gave this suggestion, because he was not sure that Luo Dong would be able to come up with a good script and a good story immediately, after all, inspiration is such a thing, and many times it still depends on the sky.

But Luo Dong is a person who can get the script out at any time.

Therefore, this suggestion is too suitable for Luodong.

"How's it going, do you have an idea?" Yi Zhenfeng asked eagerly on the side, from his personal point of view, he believes that "Dragon Gate Inn" can quickly recover its reputation after its release, but if it can raise the expectations of the people before the release, it will definitely have a better performance for "Dragon Gate Inn".

"Okay, brother-in-law, you prepare the crew, I prepare the script, start filming tomorrow, and strive to get it done in one day." Luo Dong quickly decided on a plan, and at the same time quickly chose a short film script suitable for the current situation - "The Tuner".

This is a thriller and suspense short film, the male protagonist is a genius pianist, but unfortunately in the coveted piano competition, the male protagonist failed, and his life has fallen to the bottom. After that, the reinvigorated male protagonist became a tuner, specializing in tuning pianos for customers, and in order to be able to pull in some more customers, the male protagonist disguised himself as a blind tuner, because normal people are not as cautious when facing blind people as they are when facing other people, and the status of a blind person can also allow him to get sympathy points, so as to get more tips and customer sources.

This trick is invincible, the actor's customers are more and more, and just when the actor is complacent, he receives another invitation, but this time, the actor buried his life.

The hero's client was killed by his wife at home, and when the hero arrived, because of the neighbor's prying eyes, the hero was brought into the room by the client's wife, and because of some accidents, the client's wife found out that the hero was a fake blind man, so he ......

This is the story of the tuner, this short film is twelve minutes long without subtitles, and in the original world, it is a high-quality short film that has been praised by countless people.

Both technically and structurally, the short and concise tuner is undoubtedly the best.

After receiving Luo Dong's affirmative reply, Yi Zhenfeng suddenly laughed proudly.

"Haha, Xiao Dongzi, I knew you would accept this suggestion, the crew is ready, it is the original crew of our "Dragon Gate Inn", as long as you write the script well and find the actors, we will be able to start filming immediately."

"The actor's words ......" Luo Dong thought about it, there are not many actors needed in the short film "Tuner", the most important thing is the male lead, other actors except for the boss of the male lead, in fact, the role is not heavy, just pick a few people within Yixun Film and Television.

"Brother-in-law, you go and inform Brother Kun and let him be the leading actor, and I'll go write the script first."

"Figured it out so quickly?" Yi Zhenfeng looked at Luo Dong with admiration, this brother-in-law is about to become an immortal.

――――――――――――――

When Chen Shaokun arrived at Luo Nan's office, Luo Dong had already finished writing the script, Yi Zhenfeng took the list of dragon sets and props given by Luo Dong and prepared to go, only Luo Dong's sister and brother and Lin Qianxi were drinking Lin Qianxi's tea around the coffee table.

Although it does not have the same taste as Wanhua tea, this is limited by the material, and Lin Qianxi's craftsmanship in making tea is still very good.

poured a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Shaokun, Luo Dong also handed over the script, Chen Shaokun took it with great interest, Yi Zhenfeng had already made it clear to him on the phone, Chen Shaokun was very interested in starring in a short film directed by Luo Dong, because the screenwriter is still Luo Dong.

"The Tuner, a thriller and suspense short?" Chen Shaokun felt that he was more interested, and carefully read the content of the script.

Luo Dong's script for Chen Shaokun is a two-in-one version, with a literary script in the front and a storyboard script in the back, which took Chen Shaokun more than 20 minutes, and when Chen Shaokun read the two scripts, there was only admiration left on his face.

"You kid, such an interesting script was just come up with this moment?" The suggestion to make a short film was just made by Yi Zhenfeng, which Chen Shaokun knew from the phone, which means that the script full of content in his hand was written by Luo Dong, a kid, during the time he arrived at Yixun Media, Chen Shaokun couldn't help but admire, what a talented brain it must be to come up with such an attractive story in such a short time.

"In a flash of inspiration, I'm lucky." Luo Dong spread his hands, he can't say that he has countless memories of another world in his head, so the reputation of a genius is naturally the best means to cover up, but this reputation needs to be spread through other people, Zhang Zhexin, Mu Fei, Hu Runjun, Chen Shaokun, as well as his own sister, brother-in-law, these people are very suitable spreaders, so Luo Dong is too lazy to cover up his 'special' in front of them.

"You're a genius, kid!" Chen Shaokun looked at Luo Dong in admiration, then patted the script and said with a smile: "I took this role, and I didn't take a penny, Director Luo, I'm interesting enough." ”

"Then thank you, Brother Kun." Luo Dong waved his hand, with Yi Zhenfeng's relationship, coupled with the previous one-and-a-half-month filming period in the desert, Luo Dong knows Chen Shaokun's temper very well, this is a man worthy of deep friendship, which is why Luo Dong decided to let Chen Shaokun play the leading role in "The Tuner" for the first time.

――――――――――――――

The next day, the filming of "The Tuner" officially started, and the filming location of the first scene was placed in the canteen on the third floor of Yixun Media, and the crew dressed up one of the largest restaurants to create a café environment, where most of the scenes of "The Tuner" could be filmed.

The actor Chen Shaokun plays the role of Chen An, a tuner who pretends to be blind, and as for the important supporting role in the dialogue with him, Chen An's boss, is played by Yi Zhenfeng.

That's right, the one who plays Chen An's boss is Yi Zhenfeng, which Yi Zhenfeng asked Luo Dong for himself, anyway, it is a short film, although the boss's role can be said to be the second longest in this short film, but it is only a few minutes, and it doesn't require much acting skills, Luo Dong naturally won't refute his brother-in-law's interest.

The customers in other positions in the café are directly filled by the people in the crew, and the background, as long as you don't wear a goof, it doesn't matter if you put a dummy.

For this short film, everyone in the crew is very interested, after a month and a half of hard filming in the desert, now back to Beijing, to make a ten-minute short film, for everyone in the crew, it is like a relaxed party, plus there is a chance to leave the country, not to mention how interesting.

"Okay, everyone sit down, drink coffee for those who should drink coffee, eat steak for those who should eat steak, what you have in front of you is genuine food, cheap for you, the only requirement is, no moths, do you understand?" Luo Dong slapped his face and made a request to all the 'guests', and the 'guests' naturally smiled all over their faces, and shouted "I heard it" in unison.

Chen Shaokun also sat in his place, wearing a brown suit with a white shirt inside, a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and his hair was slightly disheveled, looking like it was not tidied up.

Yi Zhenfeng stood on the side of the café, he was wearing a black suit, his face was full of anger, and he looked almost unable to restrain himself.

All the departments of the crew have been prepared, and the actors have all been prepared, Luo Dong finally looked around, and then nodded towards the scene.

"The Tuner, the first scene, the first shot, the first time, action!"

At the beginning of the shooting, Chen Shaokun picked up the coffee pot on the table and poured himself a cup of coffee, Yi Zhenfeng walked quickly into the camera, came to the position opposite Chen Shaokun and sat down, leaning the back of the chair.

The waiter, played by the drama Xiaolin, brought a dessert over, threw it on the table in front of Chen Shaokun, and then walked away.

"This waiter is really good." Chen Shaokun opened his mouth to speak, and Yi Zhenfeng, who was opposite, frowned and looked at the back of the waiter leaving, then turned his gaze back to the mobile phone he had just taken out, and said: "In the society we live in, voyeurism and exhibitionism are everywhere. ”

"Damn, we only talked for two hours last night, look at the pictures she sent me." As he spoke, Yi Zhenfeng moved the mobile phone screen to Chen Shaokun's sunglasses, Chen Shaokun looked at it, and said flatly: "Didn't you see that I was enjoying the food?" ”

…………

Luo Dong looked at the performance of Chen Shaokun and Yi Zhenfeng in the monitor, Chen Shaokun naturally had no problem, not to mention that he was still wearing sunglasses, what surprised Luo Dong was that his brother-in-law also acted very well, and the expression on his face was very well displayed, from frowning, to angry, to knocking on the table in anger, a series of changes were made in one go, without the slightest taste of performance, it was completely the most natural state.

The filming went smoothly as always, the footage in the café was quickly finished, and the next thing to shoot was the second half of the short film, Chen An, played by Chen Shaokun, went to the customer's house, and then found that the customer was dead, and he could only continue to pretend to be a blind man to help the customer adjust the piano.

This scene was placed in Chen Shaokun's home, which was provided by Chen Shaokun in friendship, and Chen Shaokun's grandmother also made a cameo in the role of a neighbor, that is, the character who indirectly killed Chen An, if it wasn't for the neighbor who suddenly opened the door to see the right door, Chen An would not have been put into the house by the client's wife.

The two who play the client and the client's wife are also members of the crew, and Luo Dong has examined these two people a little before, and their acting skills are very average, but they are enough.

The filming at Chen Shaokun's house also went smoothly, and when the filming was completed, it was just noon, and the crew returned to Yixun Media for lunch, and then continued to shoot the rest of the footage.

Compared with the two main scenes filmed in the morning, the remaining shots are relatively scattered, and the only big scene is Chen An's piano competition, which requires a big theater scene, but fortunately, Yi Zhenfeng found a suitable venue for the crew, and the rest of the shots are all small scenes, plus a street scene, all the shots were completed before five o'clock in the afternoon.

"Brothers, it's finished~" The last scene was placed in the lounge in Luo Nan's office, and when the last shot ended, Luo Dong shook the script hard, and then celebrated happily with the crew.

A twelve-minute short film was shot in one day, and for everyone involved, it was really like playing a game of filming, and many of them even played a trick, which felt quite good.

After the shooting, everyone had dinner together in the cafeteria, and then Luo Dong nestled in the editing room and spent some time editing "The Tuner", and the last thing left was dubbing and soundtrack.

Chen Shaokun plays a genius pianist in this short film, and then became a piano tuner, so it is inevitable that there will be a lot of pictures of playing the piano, fortunately, Chen Shaokun has a bit of piano foundation, although he can't even play a complete tune, but it is enough to pretend in front of the camera, and the rest is to play music for him in the later stage.

In addition to the piano music played by the male protagonist in the short film, there are not many places that need a soundtrack, which is basically concentrated in the final scene, Luo Dong spent some time in this regard, not the problem of the soundtrack, but the piano music played by the male protagonist in the short film He must choose what is available in this world, so he searched for a while on the different degree search, and the time was spent here.

When Luo Dong walked out of his temporary studio, he saw that his sister-in-law, brother-in-law and Lin Qianxi were waiting for him outside, and Lin Qianxi was walking over with a pot of tea, which must have been served to him.

"Xiao Dongzi, it's done?" Seeing Luo Dong come out, Yi Zhenfeng's eyes lit up and he quickly asked.

"Well, it's done, but sister, Qianqian, why are you all here, it's so late."

"Wait for you, stinky boy, don't know each other." Luo Nan raised his eyebrows at his brother, while Lin Qianxi put down the teapot in his hand, then poured a cup of tea for Luo Dong and handed it over.

Taking a sip of tea, Luo Dong suddenly felt trembling, his somewhat dizzy head suddenly sobered up, and the whole person was much more energetic.

"Qianqian, thank you, good tea." Pulling Lin Qianxi to sit down on the sofa, Luo Dong said to his sister: "Sister, "The Tuner" has been completed, I sent it to your mailbox, you didn't sleep anyway, why don't you take a look at it now?" ”

"Look, of course you have to see it, otherwise why do you think we waited until now, after reading it, let people make a promotion map, and then send it to Yixun Video Online, the old way, the homepage big picture is recommended." Yi Zhenfeng excitedly opened the notebook and handed it to Luo Nan, "The Tuner" is a wonderful short film, Luo Dong's directing and screenwriting ability is enough to give people a glimpse of this film, and when the time comes, it will more or less make the public look forward to "Dragon Gate Inn".

The four of them quickly finished watching the complete "Tuner", and when the final rolling subtitles appeared, Luo Nan and Yi Zhenfeng were amazed, Lin Qianxi seemed calmer, she is the person who believes in Luo Dong's talent the most, so she has always believed that Luo Dong's works are good works, and the excellence of "The Tuner" naturally feels taken for granted.

"Okay, Xiao Dongzi, you and your sister and Qianqian should go to sleep, I'll go find someone to make a promotion map, fortunately I let them stay, haha, a wise move." Putting the laptop in his arms, Yi Zhenfeng ran towards the staircase, looking at his impatient appearance, the few people he left to work overtime probably don't want to sleep tonight.
