Chapter 63: The Boom of "The Tuner" (II)

TVB Building.

"How? Are the ratings good? A man in his thirties asked the man next to him.

Although Fang Yihua does not have much expectation for a movie that is only fourteen minutes, in any case, "The Tuner" is also his first major work, and if it is handled well, his future will naturally be more spectacular.

"The ratings at the beginning were about the same as when the first season of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was launched, or even a little more." A woman looked up.

Frowning slightly, the man sighed secretly, and said in his heart, he likes "The Tuner" very much, and even thinks that it is more classic than 99% of the current movies, but only fourteen minutes is an irreparable flaw.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the most popular TV series now, but you must know that when it was first broadcast, the ratings were not too high, and the reason why there were such unnatural ratings was because of the popularity accumulated from episode to episode.

Now the ratings of "Tuner" are the same as when "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was launched, which really doesn't prove anything.

"Sure enough, I knew those bastards couldn't give me such a big benefit." The man's face was bitter, and he secretly cursed.

In TVB, he has a very heavy class concept, although he saw the opportunity to rely on Fang Yihua, who was slowly in power, but his status was still not much better, all the good things were screened layer by layer, and there were only leftovers left in his hands.

This time "The Tuner" is like this, Fang Yihua is not interested in the ratings, but the intangible impact brought by the title of winner of the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, and the people above naturally will not be interested in a movie that is only fourteen minutes long.

For movies, the box office is the only thing investors look at, and for the bigwigs of TV stations, ratings are everything.

"Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to get on the top, but now it seems that I still have to climb up slowly."

Just as the man was sighing secretly, the woman in front raised her head and said excitedly, "Director, it's up." ”

"What's up?" The man asked absentmindedly.

didn't see the man's absent-mindedness, and the woman said excitedly: "The ratings have risen, and so far, the ratings have reached the level of the tenth episode of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". ”

"What!?" The man stood up in shock, looked up at the TV, and the flashback that was currently playing was accompanied by a loud noise, and still asked with some uncertainty, "Is this true?" ”

"Yes, really."

After getting an affirmative answer, the man couldn't help but be overjoyed, you must know that the ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have been blowing out when it is ten episodes, and the ratings have reached the first level in Hong Kong.

"With this result, I can definitely climb one step higher." The man said secretly with joy.

"That's not right!" Coming to his senses from the joy, the man's face couldn't help but show a look of ecstasy, "This is just the beginning." ”

For the film "The Tuner", he watched it no less than five times before he understood, and for his IQ, he never thought it was lower than others, that's it, he watched it five times before he understood, let alone others.

Although there will be a lot of people who will give up watching it in the end, the blowout of popularity and a large number of people who have watched it many times are enough for "The Tuner" to be replayed.

Thinking of this, the man hurriedly ordered: "Don't relax, pay attention to the ratings." ”

Guan Moyu rented a house.

Looking at the few people who were fighting, Guan Moyu couldn't help but show a smile on his face, he felt very bored when he was with his family, and only when he couldn't see him again did he realize that that kind of boredom was not a kind of happiness.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ya looked at Guan Moyu, who was a little sad, suspiciously.

Looking at Zhang Ya beside him, who looked concerned, the sadness on Guan Moyu's face slowly disappeared, and he said with a smile: "It's okay." ”

The past is gone, and we can only recall; The most important thing now is to cherish the present, look ahead, and no longer let yourself regret it in vain.

"Okay, don't make any noise, watch TV obediently." Guan Desheng glared at a few people unhappily, and finally looked at Guan Moyu with appreciation: "Good job, worthy of my old housekeeper's species." ”

"Now that I admit that it is the seed of your Guan family, didn't I suspect that it was not the seed of your old Guan family?" Zhang Yan opened his mouth and said with disdain.

His face stiffened, Guan Desheng looked away with a weak heart, changed the topic, and said, "Look, it's started again." ”

"Hmph"

glared at Guan Desheng fiercely, Zhang Yan stopped talking, and turned her head to watch TV intently.

With a roar, and after leaving infinite doubts, the screen turned and a flashback began.

Guan Moyu, dressed in a performance costume, walked to the piano on the stage, accompanied by a voiceover, and slowly revealed everything.

"Last year, I was considered a genius and I thought I had a bright future. For fifteen years all I have been preparing for with one goal in mind: the Bernstein Music Competition. ”

In the end, he failed, decadent, and his girlfriend who had been dating for many years left him, and everything collapsed on that stage.

"I barely survived."

"I became a piano tuner."

"A blind piano tuner."

The scene changes again, with plates of various cream cakes arranged on a beautiful white embroidered tablecloth, with chocolate, red fruits, and lemons.

In the café, with flashbacks and the story of the 'Taj Mahal', various characters appear to interpret the life of a blind tuner

The old man remembers his wife at the piano;

a housewife listens intently, with a curling hair clip on her head;

A man with makeup and tie is listening to music while drinking coffee behind the counter in an American kitchen, and when he suddenly appears as he steps on, people notice that he is not wearing matching dress pants, but only plain trousers.

A little girl sat on a piano footstool across from him.

As well as the pretty girl red. Dancing naked in front of him.

Along with becoming a blind tuner, he was resurrected, picked up the most important piano in his life, and slowly indulged in it until that day came

On TV, Guan Moyu pressed the doorbell, and the double-opened door was Ottoman-style.

No one responded.

I rang the doorbell again, but there was still no response.

He took out the schedule from his bag and verified the name to make sure that the appointment time was the same as the time he rang the doorbell.

Suddenly, he heard a voice coming from the room, he hurriedly put on his glasses, and then stuffed his notebook into the pocket of his coat, and from behind the door came the panicked, uneasy voice of a woman.

"What's the matter?"

"I'm the tuner, ma'am."

"Who's there?"

"Piano tuner."

There was silence, and the door did not open.

"My husband is not at home, please come back another day."

"Ma'am, I don't need your husband to be present to tune the piano."

"It doesn't matter, you can charge a fee for the trip if you want."

"Madam, this is not a problem, I am blind, it is not easy to come to your house, neither you nor your husband have canceled this visit, I am unhappy, it should not be difficult for you to open the door and explain to me."

After waiting for a few seconds, he rang the doorbell again, longer than the last time, behind him, the neighbor's door opened, revealing an old woman's face from behind the slightly open door, alert to the movement outside the door, and after a while, when Adrian was about to turn around and go downstairs, the door finally opened, and the woman in the first scene stood in front of him.

"Forgive me, I was a little surprised, I didn't expect your visit, my husband didn't tell me beforehand."

"We don't have to say more."

The woman stood in the half-hidden door frame, carefully examined Guan Moyu, until she was sure that he was indeed blind, and then she turned sideways to give way to him, and at the same time looked over Adrian's shoulder, the old woman dispelled her doubts and closed the door.

"Come on, please come in."

Walking into the house, part of the hall is under construction: tarpaulins, brushes, various jars.

"Where's the piano?"

"I'll take you there, go this way, turn left."

The woman stayed behind, closed the door with the key, Guan Moyu walked into the room in the first scene, and suddenly disappeared in the half-light and half-darkness, he vaguely saw the appearance of the piano, so he reflexively walked straight to it.

"No, be careful!"

Guan Moyu slipped and fell to a pool of viscous liquid, and he let out a disgusted exclamation as he caught a glimpse of the man sitting on the couch in the first scene, drooping in a pool of slimy blood: several thick nails were nailed to the man's temple, and the corpse, which had been dragged all the way to the couch, left a wide blood trail on the marble floor.

"What is this?! What is it?! ”

"Be careful! Give me your hand! This way! I didn't expect you to come this way, we're renovating and I... I knocked over a can of paint, you ...... You now understand why I don't want you in! ”

Through the screen, everyone could hear the pounding sound of Guan Moyu's heart on the TV.

"Okay, okay, it's nothing, I'm really sorry, hold on, please take a seat."

Guan Moyu was out of breath, his heart rose to his throat, and he sat on the stool of the piano, forcibly not looking in the direction of the corpse.

"Damn, he's got holes in his head! Does she have a pistol? Doesn't she have a pistol,! ”

"Mom, the second brother is swearing." Guan Mohong suddenly spoke, jumping everyone, even Guan Moyu and Zhang Ya, who had already seen a lot of sides.

"Don't talk, watch obediently, don't miss your second brother's wonderful performance." Guan Moyun wrapped the little guy and said.

"O"
