Chapter 084: Amazing

In the tenth of "The Poet's Love", the tune slowly raises, and the young man with contact lenses plays the piano with a blank expression. In front of him, there is a blurry shadow shaking in the camera, it is the hostess who has taken off her clothes and started dancing. His expression did not change, but what was in his heart, only he knew.

Smack!

The camera changed and he returned to the restaurant.

The middle-aged man said viciously: "You voyeur, this is a crime!" ”

The young man quibbled: "I haven't been able to play the piano since the competition, and people are no longer restrained in front of the blind, they will give more and better...... I need these. ”

The middle-aged man asked, "What if you get caught?" They'll think I'm involved too! ”

"You just said that no one complained." The young man asked rhetorically, "Are you going to fire me?" ”

"Don't push me." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and waved his hand, "Let me see again." ”

The young man took off his sunglasses, and the middle-aged man suddenly snapped his fingers in front of his eyes, and the young man's eyes remained motionless.

"You've been practicing for a long time, haven't you?" The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, you have to practice."

After the meal, the waiter threw the bill on the table with a bad attitude.

The young man scoffed: "It's still hard to believe, isn't it." Let's do an experiment, I'll check out. ”

Shot 1 ~ 1 ~ Ben ~ Read ~ The novel ybdu has changed, and the young man has walked out.

Only the background sound of the picture is still narrating how he used the checkout to tease the waiter with a bad attitude.

"Waiter."

"One penny less."

"No, it's not this one, it's not the same size."

"Do you think you can lie to me if I'm blind?"

"I want to complain, I want to talk to your manager."

"No, I'll pay for it myself......"

With a conceited smile, the young man walked to the intersection and waited for the red light with an aunt.

The background voice continues: "Well, since you are so insistent, I will not pay." ”

The red light passes, and the green light arrives.

The young man suddenly turned his head and asked the aunt next to him, "Auntie, do you need me to help you cross the road?" ”

The aunt looked at the young man with a surprised face, a person dressed as a blind man was not blind.

The music of the piano fluttered, and it cut back to the scene of the hostess practicing the dance before.

The original young man's face gradually changed, and he stared closely at the naked dancing woman in front of him.

At the end of a piano song, the hostess not only did not know that he was peeping, but also enjoyed the dance, and came over to give him a thankful kiss.

In the close-up, the corners of the young man's mouth, an imperceptible smug smile crossed, he was enjoying it.

……

The short film has been going on for more than 6 minutes, and the plot is slowly unfolding, Xie Fei is no longer watching with a coping mentality, but enjoying it like the male protagonist. Since teaching, it has been rare to see young people shoot such sophisticated and smooth works.

"Good, really good."

Xie Fei's waist sat for a long time, a little stiff, changed to a comfortable position, and continued to watch.

The screen has switched to the corridor of a residential building.

Young man rings the doorbell.

I pressed it twice, but no one came to open the door.

He couldn't help but take out the schedule in his pocket to see if he had gone to the wrong place, obviously not wrong.

After waiting for a while, a middle-aged woman's voice answered from inside the door.

"What's the matter?"

"I'm a tuner."

"Who?"

"Piano tuner."

"My husband isn't at home, you can come back another day."

"Well, I'm just here to tune the piano, and I don't need him to be there."

"Forget it, I'll pay you the door-to-door fee, you can go back."

"It's not a problem, I'm blind, and it takes a lot of effort to get to your house. Neither you nor your husband have canceled their appointments, so at least you have to open the door and explain, right? ”

The young man rang the doorbell again.

The middle-aged woman opened the door and said reluctantly, "I'm sorry, I wasn't prepared." I didn't know you were coming, my husband didn't tell me. ”

Bang, the door of a house opposite, opened, and a housewife looked at it.

The middle-aged woman let the young man into the house.

The doors were closed on both sides.

The camera pushes towards the door, and on the doorknob, there is a cat's eye.

"Where's the piano?"

"Wait a minute, I'll take you."

When the middle-aged woman closes the door, the young man goes into the room by himself.

Suddenly, the middle-aged woman shouted, "Be careful, don't go over there." ”

But it was too late, and the young man tripped over something, and his hand touched a puddle of liquid: "What is this, what is this?" ”

"Don't move, give me your hand, this way. I didn't expect you to come this far. ”

In a panic, the middle-aged woman helped the young man up, and as the two moved away, on the sofa in front of the camera, an elderly man leaned on the sofa, half of his body was covered in blood. And this old man is the one who appeared at the beginning of the short film.

……

Seeing this, Xie Fei's heart became transparent.

It is an intertextual work, echoing from beginning to end, and the beginning is the end. At the same time, it is also a classic O. Henry-esque ending, the end of the plot, an unexpected direction.

However, the excitement of the short film was going on, and Xie Fei didn't have time to sigh, so he continued to devote himself to it.

The young man apparently saw the old man, who was half covered in blood and had died. The place where he fell, I don't know if it was blood or what, stained him. The light was a little dim, and only a red liquid could be seen.

The young man looked flustered, but he had to pretend to be calm and pretend not to see the dead man on the couch.

"Our house is being renovated, and I knocked over the paint, so I don't want you in." The middle-aged woman helped him take off his trench coat.

I don't know if it's a hurry, but the middle-aged woman pushed him and asked him to sit down in front of the piano.

The young man gave his hand to the piano and almost didn't fall over, his gaze under his sunglasses was completely looking at the dead man on the couch.

"Did you hear that?"

"What?" The young man exclaimed.

"You can't do this, give me the clothes, and I'll find you my husband's shirt and pants."

"Oh, good."

"You take it off slowly, I'll turn around and don't look at you."

The woman pretended to walk a little farther away, then turned and stared at the young man.

Young people can only take off their clothes little by little under the gaze of middle-aged women.

The middle-aged woman picked up her clothes, stepped forward again, and took off her sunglasses: "Your glasses are dirty." He looked carefully into the young man's eyes.

The camera cuts and the young man gets to work.

The inner monologue sounded: "Calm down, calm down." ”

"She didn't notice it at all."

"You behaved so naturally that you could win an Oscar."

The camera pans to the other side, and it appears to be a toilet, and under the light, the woman's shadow is rummaging through his clothes.

The young man was naked, not daring to look back.

"Who is that man on the couch, her husband?"

"Didn't she say to look for his husband's clothes?"

"Why don't you bring it yet?"

"Calm down, maybe she's doing my laundry, that's normal, isn't it."

"I'll get dressed, tune the piano, and leave."

"Hopefully she won't rummage through my pockets."

He hesitated for a moment.

"My calendar."

"Oops, my calendar, in my pocket."

"How can a blind man need a schedule!"

Footsteps were heard.

"She's back."

The middle-aged woman walks behind the young man, just like the scene at the beginning of the film.

Young people are afraid to look back.

"Don't look back, you're blind."

"There's no reason to turn back."

"Something should be said."

After brewing for a long time, the young man did not open his mouth.

"Say something."

"Say!"

"!"

Perhaps he was so nervous that the young man couldn't say a word, and finally he could only start playing the piano.

Robert Schumann's "The Poet's Love" No. 10.

"I'm blind."

"I don't know what's going on next."

The camera pans from the piano to the young man's back, where the middle-aged woman holds up a nail gun and aims it at the back of his head.

"Since I don't know."

"You should relax."

"I have to keep playing the piano."

"She hasn't moved since I played the piano."

The mirror on the wall clearly reflects such a scene.

It's like a cat's eye.

"She doesn't kill me when I play the piano."

"She can't kill me when I'm playing the piano."

The picture is dark, and only the piano sound of "The Poet's Love" continues to melodious.

The subtitles slowly rise.

"Director Bai Yuhan's work."

"Produced by the White Swordsman Studio."

"Cast ......"

……

When the subtitles were raised, Xie Fei, who was sitting in front of the computer, couldn't help but clench his fists, hammered the table, and couldn't help but say: "Okay." ”

The noise was so loud that it only made a noise to the granddaughter who was still at home and did not go back to school. The granddaughter was playing on the computer in another room and quickly ran over.

"Grandpa, what's wrong? What's wrong? ”

Xie Fei shook his head: "It's okay, I'm just a little excited, I just finished reading the "Tuner" you recommended, and I'm a little excited." ”

"Yes." The granddaughter's eyes lit up, "Grandpa, how about it, "Tuner" is amazing, it is more powerful than all the entries in the competition, and it must be a high-quality product produced by White Swordsman." ”

Xie Fei smiled fondly: "If you want to say that it is better than all the entries, I can't guarantee it, but so far, this is the most wonderful short film I have seen in this competition." The beginning is the end, the tuner disguised as a blind man, and finally forced himself into danger because of his disguise. The meaning is profound, concise and concise, rare, rare! ”

"Grandpa, your analysis is not in place, I have a white swordsman fan group, and it has been discussed crazy. Some say that the tuner died because at the beginning they heard the sound of the gun that shot the nail. Some people say that the tuner is not dead because the middle-aged woman has concerns. Every detail was discussed by them, and "The Tuner" is simply an Oscar-winning short film! ”

At that moment, the granddaughter showed Xie Fei their discussion in the group.

In the chat logs, in addition to expressing his admiration for Bai Yuhan, almost all of them are discussing this short film, the setting of every detail, and the intention. Many details were not noticed by Xie Fei when he watched it for the first time.

For example, why does the tuner like to eat sugar, because eating sugar can make him happy, and the boss said that it doesn't matter if he eats death, implying that sugar is like he disguises himself as a blind man, once or twice is good, but if he eats too much, he will die.

For example, the neighbor's intention to open the door, because the neighbor can see from the cat's eye that the tuner is a fake blind person, and it also means that people have a voyeuristic heart. And it's also the reason why the tuner can get in, the middle-aged woman doesn't want the neighbors to see that there is something wrong with her house.

For example, the tuner scares the aunt, here is to show the conceit and complacency of the tuner, and also to show that he has just disguised himself as a blind man for a short time, and he is not so calm, so he will bring the schedule book, and many flaws in the details will be revealed.

And so on, and so on.

The more he saw these discussions, the more Xie Fei felt that he had only watched it once, it was too embarrassing, and this short film was worth going back to and watching again!

"How about it, grandpa, you have taught so many directors, how many directors can make such good works? Lu Chuan? Wang Xiaoshuai? Jia Zhangke? In her granddaughter's words, there was a provocation against Nortel.

In recent years, Nortel has indeed not cultivated many outstanding directors, and after the fifth generation of directors, it can be said that one generation is not as good as the next.

Xie Fei was not angry, but asked with a smile: "Good granddaughter, tell grandpa what kind of person this Bai Yuhan is, and what have you filmed before?" ”
