Chapter 25: Applause

"Gentlemen, please pay attention to what you say!"

As a woman, Angela was very disgusted by voyeurism, and she said with a smile: "What you just said has obvious criminal tendencies, maybe I should call the police!" ”

In the face of the "warning", Jeron and Assi Dayan looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders a little awkwardly.

"Uh...... Sorry, we were just kidding! ”

"That's right, we have absolutely no dirty thoughts!"

Seeing this scene, Yang Ziqiong felt full of joy, covered his mouth and snickered.

Westerners are like that, they like to joke with each other, which is actually a sign of intimacy.

"Have you noticed, the tune played by the male protagonist when he peeped was Rachmaninoff's work."

As the winner of the Academy Award for Best Art Direction, Adam noticed one detail.

"Hermaninoff's music is passionate and famously difficult. In the previous piano competition, the male protagonist's hands trembled nervously, but when peeping, he was able to dance and play the tune with his hands, which reflected ......"

Before Adam finished speaking, Assi Dayan on the side interjected: "This reflects the deformed psychology of the male protagonist, and the director arranged this piece to be played during voyeurism, expressing the twisted excitement of people when they peep into other people's privacy." ”

"Haha, you're right."

Adam, who was interjected, was not angry, he smiled slightly and said: "I have to say, this director has some level!" ”

"From the current point of view, there is nothing wrong with this short film, it is excellent in every way." Angela commented: "I'm starting to wonder about the next plot! ”

…………

In the evening, Duane went to the door of a house and rang the doorbell.

When no one responded, Duane rang the doorbell again, still unresponsive, so he took his laptop out of his bag to check the appointment information.

Suddenly, Duane heard a voice coming from the room, and he hurriedly put on his sunglasses and stuffed his notebook into the pocket of his coat.

A woman's panicked voice came from behind the door: "What's the matter?" ”

"Hello, I'm the piano tuner on appointment."

"My boyfriend isn't at home, please come back another day."

The woman refused to let Duane enter the door, but Duane did not want to run in vain, so he emphasized that he was a blind man, and it was not easy to walk here, so he asked the woman to have mercy on him.

The door finally opened, and a young woman appeared, who continued to persuade Duane to leave.

During this time, the leader on the opposite side was alarmed by the sound, and a middle-aged woman opened the door and looked at the situation outside suspiciously.

After seeing the middle-aged woman, the young woman changed her attitude in an instant, she looked at Duane carefully, and only after making sure that the other party was blind did she agree to let Duane enter the door.

…………

When watching this clip-

"I bet there's definitely something wrong with this woman!"

Jeron's words made Assi Dayan roll his eyes.

"Dude, you still need to say this, anyone can guess it!"

Jeroen said unconvinced: "Why don't we bet and guess, what is this woman hiding?" ”

"I want to think about ......"

After thinking for a while, Assi Dayan said, "I guess she cheated on her because she wanted to hide her lover." ”

"I think she might have killed someone!" Jeron gave his guess.

Yang Ziqiong put forward another idea: "It is also possible that she is taking drugs and doesn't want to be discovered by others!" ”

"It's still more likely to cheat, and it just so happens that the woman said that her boyfriend is not at home."

"No, the male protagonist doesn't know what her boyfriend looks like, so it doesn't matter if she sees her lover......"

The judges debated, and "The Tuner" continued to be screened, and the answer was finally solved.

Upon entering the room, Duane slipped and fell on a pool of viscous liquid.

Duane let out a scream of disgust as he caught a glimpse of a man sitting on a couch, slumped in a pool of slimy blood, several stout nails nailed to his temples.

"Haha, it's really murder!" Jeron snapped his fingers triumphantly.

"Well, you win." Assi Dayan sighed gloomily, and his attention returned to the screen.

The young woman helped Duane up and explained, "We were renovating and accidentally knocked over a can of paint just now, so we didn't want you to come in before." ”

At the moment of danger, Duane was out of breath and his heart was in his throat, but he did not run away, but chose to continue to pretend to be blind.

The woman took Duane to the piano and sat down: "Your clothes are dirty, take them off to me, and I'll find you a replacement clothes." ”

"Okay...... Thank you. ”

"Don't worry, I'll turn around and won't look at you."

Although the woman said this, she did not turn around, but stared at Duane nervously.

Duane pretended to be calm, and under the woman's nose, he took off his clothes in fear, and the woman picked up his clothes and walked away.

In this way, Duane played regularly while adjusting the piano, and his heart was in a mess, and his inner dialogue appeared.

"Calm down, she doesn't have any suspicions, you just acted very natural, you really deserve a damn Oscar."

The corpse of the man on the couch had his eyes open and seemed to be looking at Duane.

"Calm down, she's doing your laundry. You put your clothes back on, tune her piano and leave ......"

"It's over, my notebook! I put it in my pocket. Why do I need a notebook if I can't see anything!? ,......"

Duane thought of this, and the woman's footsteps got closer and closer.

"She's back, I can feel it, she's getting close to me!"

"I can't turn around! I'm blind and don't have any reason to turn back. ”

Duane begins to play the first movement of Mozart's sonata, and the woman, holding a nail gun in her hand, stops a few centimeters from the nape of Duane's neck.

"I'm blind, I can't possibly know she's holding a nail gun aimed at the nape of my neck. Since I don't know anything, I should take it easy. ”

"I should keep playing, she hasn't moved since I played. She can't kill me while I'm playing! She can't kill me while I'm playing! ”

In the eerie sound of the piano, Duane's last inner monologue is finished, and then the whole screen suddenly goes black, and the whole film ends.

…………

In the screening room, all the judges were immersed in the short film just now, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"Bang Bang Bang-"

Suddenly, there was a burst of applause, and Adam couldn't help but get up and applaud "The Tuner".

"Bang Bang Bang-"

The other judges also woke up and gave warm applause.

"A masterpiece, what a brilliant masterpiece, the complexity and ugliness of human nature are undoubtedly revealed!"

Angela clapped her hands and sighed from the bottom of her heart.

"This is the best I've seen in the last few days!" Assi Dayan chimed in: "It's a pity, it's just a short film, otherwise it would have competed for Best Picture!" ”

Yang Ziqiong said with deep feelings: "It seems that there is another great director in Huaxia!" ”

"Guys, I think we should revisit it, do you agree?"

"Agreed, I feel like I'm missing a lot of details."

"I also agree, is there anyone who doesn't like this work?"

The judges talked to each other and had the same idea in their hearts - the winner of the Golden Bear for Best Short Film, which was basically decided!
