Xie Fei, a famous film director, is the vice president of the Beijing Film Academy and a professor of the directing department. Director of the China Film Association, director of the China Film Critics Society, and a leading figure of the fourth generation of directors, he has become a banner of Chinese film art with films full of artistic ideals and texture.

Director Xie Fei, who is already in his prime, not only teaches, but also continues to make movies, but also has to do business and serve as the art director of an entertainment company. However, he is not in business to make money, but to get the capital support of entertainment companies and match the Chinese film industry.

Recently, director Xie Fei set his sights on the first Global Chinese Very Short Film Creative Contest and was invited to serve as a judge of the competition.

Unlike the bosses of some other film and television companies who serve as nominal judges, director Xie Fei insists on watching the excellent works very seriously. The way he looks at these works is very simple, whoever has a high number of hits on 2 sites, or who recommended which work to him, he watches.

So far, after three weeks of submission, a total of more than 600 short films, music videos and commercials have been submitted.

He has also seen many excellent works, such as the creative and novel cartoon "National Style", the touching "Clay Man", the humorous and sad "Eating for Zhang Zier" and so on. And today, he is going to watch a short film that has just been uploaded, which was recommended to him by his granddaughter who went to college.

It can even be said that two weeks ago, his granddaughter told him that he must watch it? One? Root? Read? novel xstxt this short film, because his granddaughter is a fan of the director of the short film.

The film is called "The Tuner", and the director is a young man named Bai Yuhan, who has a nickname called White Swordsman. Xie Fei felt that he was browsing the news on the Internet some time ago, as if he had heard of such a person. It seems to be Hu Ge, who was awkward with Xiao Kai a year ago, the same character, in the name of young people now, is the representative of the grassroots.

However, whether it is Hu Ge or Bai Yuhan, Xie Fei didn't pay much attention to it, he once watched the steamed bun bloody case, and the cut was so-so, which was far worse than professional films, and even worse than the student works he brought. Although he does not approve of Xiao Kai's approach, he also does not support Hu Ge's behavior.

Therefore, for "The Tuner", Xie Fei just has the attitude of taking a look.

Put on reading glasses, open the 2 website with some difficulty, find the video area, and then search for "Tuner", Xie Fei watched it.

There are more than ten seconds of ads, and there are two small pop-ups.

While waiting for the advertisement, Xie Fei was still in the mood to close the pop-up window.

Soon, a somewhat familiar melody sounded as the ad ended, and the video had no picture, only subtitles slowly appeared.

"Produced by the White Swordsman Studio."

"Director: Bai Yuhan."

"Screenwriter: Bai Yuhan."

"Starring: Bai Yuhan."

"It seems to be a piece from 'The Poet's Love.'" Looking at the subtitles, Xie Fei remembered what this piano piece was. The 19th-century German composer Robert Schumann's love essay "The Poet's Love", written in the year of his marriage to his beloved Clara, belongs to his most classic work.

When Xie Fei remembered the name of the song, the subtitles faded and the picture lit up.

Close-up of the strings of a piano, several slow shots.

Then, a deep male voice rang out: "I rarely play in public. ”

"Unless it's a special occasion or an audience."

"Like tonight."

The picture jumps to an elderly man leaning on the sofa, motionless, as if listening to a music.

"Who is this man?"

"I don't know."

The picture changes, wearing a pair of socks feet, and the calves on the sock tube are black. Hairy nude. Dew.

Again, he only wears boxers. The head of the butt, sitting on the bench, can vaguely guess that it is a naked. Lu's man playing the piano.

"I can't even see him."

Just when Xie Fei was wondering what he was talking about at the beginning, in the inner monologue, the camera changed.

A young man with gray eyes, a mustache on his face with a wooden expression, and his body swayed slightly along his shoulders. There seems to be a person standing behind him, because the camera is too close to see the whole body.

"I'm blind."

"And besides, it's not for him, it's for the people behind me."

The camera stays in this close-up for several seconds, and finally, the picture goes dark, and the piano sound comes to an abrupt end with a crisp sound.

Subtitles appear instantly.

"Tuner."

Freeze for two seconds, the picture lights up, what appears to be a distant view of a concert hall at the University of Norte, the stage is brightly lit, and a man in a gown walks slowly towards a piano. Offstage, there was silence, and even the footsteps of people in dresses could be heard.

The man, walking to the piano, bent down and bowed.

The inner monologue sounded: "Last year, I was seen as a genius. ”

"I also thought I had a bright future."

The camera adjusts to shoot from above, and the man sits down in front of the piano.

He gripped the edge of the chair tightly with his hand, and wiped the keyboard of the piano with a rag. The camera gives the front of this person, who is a young man before, but he has no beard and looks even more immature. On his fair face and forehead, sweat oozed out. Breathing is also a little rapid.

"All my efforts in the past 15 years have been for one goal."

"Chopin International Piano Competition."

The camera shuddered, and there were some gradually buzzing sounds in the background, like a heartbeat, and like a subtle echo of the venue. In this tense atmosphere, the young man put his hands on the keys and trembled slightly.

The whole atmosphere was created quite successfully, and Director Xie Fei, who was originally careless, couldn't help but push his reading glasses and get closer to the computer screen.

in the video.

The young man's hands trembled for a moment.

Then, press it down suddenly.

While!

With the sound of a piano, the picture changes instantly.

The colors have also changed from bright to dark, cool tones.

The pale-faced young man lay on the bed weakly and haggardly, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

"I failed."

"All of a sudden."

The young man turned around and looked at the head of the bed, where some medicines were scattered. Where his back was spent, a woman was packing.

"I was left alone, tormented by the nightmare of failure."

"Fall into the abyss."

Smack! The woman picked up her luggage and slammed the door.

The next moment, the picture brightened up again.

The young man had grown a mustache, wore a suit and sunglasses, and ate at a western restaurant. A middle-aged man with a big belly walked over.

"I came back to life and became a piano tuner."

The middle-aged man sat down across from the young man, and a waiter came over and casually dropped a jar of candy on the table.

The young man said sarcastically: "This waiter is really attentive. ”

The middle-aged man balded slightly, took out his ringing mobile phone, and said while looking at it: "This society is either voyeurism or exhibitionism." ”

He looked at his phone again and said, "We talked for two hours last night, looking at the photos she sent me." With that, he put his phone in front of the young man's sunglasses.

The young man didn't answer: "I'm here to eat." ”

"You don't have any bad thoughts at your age?" The middle-aged man was a little disgusted by the young man's uncooperation, and when he saw the young man putting a spoonful of sugar in his mouth, he said, "Do you eat sugar as a meal?" I don't care if I kill you! I'm not here to watch you set up a dinner table, I want to know how your tuning orders have doubled in a month. ”

"It's weird that your clients appreciate my work?" Young people can't deny it.

"Sort of." The middle-aged man replied.

"Has anyone complained?" The young man asked.

"Not yet." The middle-aged man replied.

When he was young, he asked easily: "Do you want to copy my squid if the business improves?" ”

The middle-aged man finally endured it and roared in his throat: "Nonsense! I got a call this morning saying to find my blind tuner. ”

Looking around, the middle-aged man lowered his voice: "Can you explain?" ”

The young man drank a bowl of soup slowly, then wiped his mouth and said with a relaxed expression: "Shah Jahan, the emperor of the Mughal dynasty, ...... after his wife's death."

The middle-aged man interrupted: "Don't tell stories, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense." ”

The young man spoke again: "Shah Jahan, the emperor of the Mughal dynasty, was grieved after the death of his wife. He summoned the best architects of his time, and the architects came to the emperor. ”

The middle-aged man had no choice but to listen to him continue.

"The Emperor asked him, 'Are you married?' 'It's over, Your Majesty. 'Do you love your wife?' 'Yes, Your Majesty, she is my life, and I love her more than anything else.' 'Very well, then I will put her to death, and you will know how much I am in pain, and you will be able to build the most magnificent tomb in the world for my wife', and the emperor executed the architect's wife. ”

After a pause, the young man smiled slightly: "The architect built the Taj Mahal." ”

……

Seeing this, Xie Fei had already put aside the contempt in his heart before, straightened his back and looked at the computer screen very seriously. In my heart, there is a joy of seeing a good work, he is an old director, and he has vaguely touched what this movie is going to say.

But I feel that I don't understand it very clearly, the camera of this "Tuner" is very slow, and the pace is not fast, but the atmosphere is too good, at least in the first half, there are no flaws. Whether it is the advancement of the story or the acting skills of the actors, they are all very good and rare.

"I hope it won't collapse in the future, it will be a good work to keep it up!"

With anticipation and worry, Director Xie Fei watched it seriously.

In the short film, after listening to the story of the Taj Mahal, the middle-aged man did not speak, but just rolled his eyes and looked at the young man.

The young man concluded: "People think that loss is more sensitive. ”

"You're too talented, bastard!" The middle-aged man had to praise it.

The young man took off his sunglasses a little, revealing cloudy eyes: "I decided to become blind." ”

The middle-aged man took a closer look: "What is this?" ”

The young man put his sunglasses back on: "Contact lenses." I'm going to tune with a new client in the afternoon. ”

The middle-aged man sighed, not knowing how to feel: "No. ”

"They think my other senses are more developed, my ears are better than any other, a blind tuner, and they'll definitely talk to their friends." Said the young man.

Then the camera flashes back to the scene of some young people helping customers tune, and people have no scruples in front of him, showing the most casual and ugly side casually.

"Stop eating sugar." In the background conversation, the middle-aged man said a word.

The young man didn't pay attention to this sentence and continued: "Do you know that there are many benefits, more money is given, people are friendlier, there are not so many warinesss, I know things that no one else knows......"

"I'm sorry." The clip of the flashback stabilized, and a woman's voice rang out.

The young man, who was pretending to be blind, asked blankly, "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't mind dancing while you're at work, do you?"

"Don't mind." The young man replied.

A young woman began to change her dancing clothes, but she looked back and saw the guide stick leaning against the piano and made a decision.

The camera focuses on her feet, and a skirt slips down......
