Jury, Film Screening Room.

The president of the jury of this year's Berlin International Film Festival is the famous Spanish actress Angela Molina.

In addition to the chairman, there are 7 members of the jury, namely Ken Adam, an English producer and winner of the Academy Award for Best Art Direction, a famous Palestinian director - Assi Dayan, a famous Dutch actor - Jeron Krabi, and Malaysian Chinese action actress - Yang Ziqiong......

These judges include actors, directors, producers, screenwriters, cameramen and other professions, and everyone is an elite in the film industry.

Adam, the oldest in service, walked into the screening room on crutches in a standard English gentleman's suit.

"Dear guys, how are you feeling today?"

"Not good, I just want to sleep in bed!"

Jeron yawned, looking like he might fall asleep at any moment.

Judging at a film festival is not an easy job, there are many films waiting for them to judge and score every day, and it is really mentally exhausting at the end of the day.

"Alas...... Can you imagine, I was watching a movie last night and scoring it! ”

Assi Dayan hugged his head and said exaggeratedly: "That feeling is too painful, and I still haven't relieved it." ”

"Okay, everyone, hold on!"

As the president of the jury, Angela clapped her palms vigorously and began to boost morale.

"Today I watched a short film, and we should be much more relaxed."

"I hope so!"

Jeron sighed and picked himself up again.

…………

"I didn't understand what this short video was about!"

"No, this actress's performance is so pompous, I can't even look at it directly!"

"Wait a minute, the shot just now is out of the way, how did the director do it, haven't you found out?"

"This short film is not bad, but the storyline is a bit old-fashioned, and it can't get a high score overall."

In the process of watching the short film, several judges have been picking and complaining, and few short films have been appreciated by them.

There is no way, the competition for the best short film is basically some new directors, these new directors lack experience and ability, and the level of short films produced is also uneven, and there are many problems.

In fact, the short films I watched today have been screened in advance by the staff of the film festival, and they can be said to be relatively excellent works.

But the judges here are all industry bigwigs, and their vision is too high, and the slightest problem will be discovered.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

Angela covered her face with remorse: "Today is the worst day, I really want to end it soon!" ”

"Guys, why don't we take a break?" Yang Ziqiong suddenly proposed.

"Good idea, I'm bored and almost asleep."

"I agree, just go out for a cigarette and adjust your mood."

Everyone agreed, and the screening of the short film was temporarily suspended for 30 minutes.

After the break, the judges returned to the screening room with a bitter face.

"Good times are always short-lived!"

Adam sighed and returned to his seat in a dejected manner.

"Projectionist, go ahead!"

The projectionist nodded and began to show a new short film.

"Boom, knock—"

A somewhat eerie piano sound sounds, first of all the piano strings.

"I rarely show up in public, unless it's really a special occasion or a special audience, like tonight."

A man's monologue sounded, instantly attracting Yang Ziqiong's attention.

"Hey, it's actually Huaxia!"

Yang Ziqiong suddenly became interested, this was the first time she had seen a Huaxia film in the past few days.

As the film progresses, a man standing still on a couch appears, followed by a near-naked pianist.

"Who is this man? I don't know him, I can't even see him, I'm blind. ”

The pianist played the piano soothingly, he was wearing only a pair of shorts and was sweating profusely. Behind him, stood a woman whose face could not be seen clearly.

"Smack-"

A strange voice sounded, the picture went black, and the title of "The Tuner" appeared on the screen.

"This beginning is kind of interesting!" Assi Dayan crossed his legs and touched his chin with interest.

In order to participate in the film festival, Fang Yan had already added English subtitles in the late production stage, so the judges present could understand the plot.

The male protagonist Duane is a talented pianist, and he unexpectedly loses an important piano competition, and since then he has been decadent.

One day, Duane was waiting in a café wearing sunglasses when a young waiter rudely put down the dishes, which caused Duane's displeasure.

The person who Du ane was waiting for was his boss Huang Meng, and after Huang Meng came to the café and sat down, he began to express his dissatisfaction.

"What I want to know is why your orders have doubled recently!"

"What's so strange about it because of my good skills?"

"! I received a phone call this morning from someone who pointed out that I was looking for a blind tuner named Duane, are you hiding something from me? ”

Duane took a sip of coffee and began to tell a story.

After the death of the wife of Shah Jahan, the emperor of the Mogao Dynasty, he was so grieved that he ordered the greatest architect of his time to be summoned.

The architect came to the Emperor, who asked him, "Are you married?" ”

"Yes, my majesty."

"Do you love your wife?"

"Of course, my majesty. She is my life, and I love her more than all. ”

"Very well, then I will order her to be killed. Then you will feel the same pain as I do, and then you will be able to build the most beautiful and luxurious mausoleum in the world for my wife. ”

The emperor ordered the death of the architect's wife, who built the famous Taj Mahal.

Huang Meng asked impatiently, "What is the moral of this story?" ”

"People often think that losing something makes you more sensitive!"

With that, Duane took off his sunglasses, revealing his gray eyes.

"So I decided to be blind!"

It turns out that Duane wears idiosyncratic contact lenses and disguises himself as a blind man, and he takes advantage of people's compassion and the fact that blind people are more sensitive to sound to get more piano tuning business.

Next, the short film shows scenes of Duane at work.

Housewives with curling hair clips on their heads, unsuspecting for beauty.

A man in a suit on the upper body and underwear on the lower half of his body, sipping beer with a big grin.

Young and beautiful girl, dressed in tight and sexy costumes, is dancing.

These people were all piano tuning clients, and because Duane was disguised as blind, he didn't particularly care about him.

…………

"Hahaha, is it okay like this?"

Jeron couldn't help but pat his thigh and praised Duane's idea.

"What a talent this man is!"

Assi Dayan was a little moved and said, "Maybe I can try it too!" ”
