Chapter 228: Shocking Screening!

At the beginning of the film, it is naturally the familiar dragon logo, followed by the logos of Longqi Film and Television and other production companies.

Recently, it officially entered the content of the film. In the original plane, there was a picture of a blind rabbit eating cabbage at the beginning, and then being chased by the villagers with a shotgun.

This time, Li Jingkun changed to Xiangjiang, and many things naturally had to be changed. The first is that the rabbits have to be replaced, because although there are many wild animals in Xiangjiang, wild rabbits are rare.

So here it was replaced with a porcupine. Although Xiangjiang is a metropolis, there are also many rural places, and there are also many wild animals.

There are often many wild boars around Tai Mo Shan in Hong Kong, and wild boars often enter the city. There are many black kites flying over the city, crested eagles, black-winged kites, snakes, etc., and sometimes you can see ocelots, small civets, hog badgers and civet cats that break into the city, and porcupines sometimes come out as nocturnal animals to feed.

In this movie, the porcupine is used to replace the rabbit in the original time and space, and it is also a blind porcupine, so it occasionally can't tell the difference between day and night, and then it happens that day and night come out to steal crops and be chased by farmers!

In the original work of time and space, the farmer is using a shotgun to hunt the blind rabbit, which is also not applicable here.

So the farmers had to use bamboo sticks and slingshot devices to drive and capture the porcupine. But this porcupine is only a symbol, similar to the cat inside.

It's just that this porcupine has fewer scenes, and this clip ended quickly. Then the screen turns, and it is the picture of the kitten climbing the stairs with piano music.

The kitten climbed the stairs and soon appeared next to the piano stand. On the keys are a pair of beating hands.

Then there's the back, the side, and finally the man's face! This person is, of course, the male protagonist played by Brother Hua, and the fact that he thinks he is a pianist or pianist is pointed out at the beginning.

It also fits the name of the movie very well. After showing off a piano piece very handsomely, Brother Hua touched the hour and minute hands of the watch with his mobile phone, determined the time, and then put on sunglasses, put on a backpack, and went downstairs with a guide stick.

After coming to the first floor, Hua Ge, who was walking with a guide stick, was almost deceived by a rope pulled up by a seven or eight-year-old child.

It turned out that the child who led the family was playing a prank on him. After setting up a spoof of Brother Hua, the child covered his mouth and hid aside and didn't dare to make a sound.

After a while, he pretended to be passing by and ran up from behind: "You're not hurt, are you?" ”

"Yijie?" Brother Hua said.

"Do you want me to call a car for you? - Ask for a dollar! Brother Hua took out a coin from his trouser pocket and stretched out his hand to give it to the child Huang Yijie.

Huang Yijie was very happy, and he stretched out his hand to take it, but he didn't expect to be suddenly grabbed by Brother Hua's hand.

"If you dare to do this again, I'll tie the rope to your panties! - Now go and call the car for me. This clip ends, followed by some fragments of Brother Hua's life.

For example, the scene where he sits on a taxi, such as the scene where a passerby helps him cross the street, such as the scene where someone stuffs money for him.

Finally he appeared in a musical instrument shop, and the owner of the musical instrument shop was happy to see him and said to him: "Hello, master, welcome, welcome!" - I've got two new students for you! Brother Hua spoke while unloading his backpack: "I can't take it." ”

"Why? If you have money, you still can't make it? The owner of the musical instrument shop recruited students for him, and he himself received a commission, so of course he hoped that Brother Hua could accept these two freshmen.

"Chen Xuting, that kid is driving me crazy, and Mrs. Zhang has been touching me." Hearing this, the owner of the musical instrument shop couldn't help but smile inexplicably: "The Mrs. Zhang I helped you recruit last time?" But the tuition she gives you is not low, and the charge for an hour is twice as much as what you teach others! ”

"Her fingers spend more time on me than on the piano. I'm going to compete in two months and I'm going to focus on practice. There's a tune I haven't done yet. ”

"Hahaha, with Mrs. Zhang's help, you can go to the squat faster, and you can make her happy!"

"I need inspiration, not sweat." There are not many highlights or surprises in these two small clips, but they do have to exist, because they are just to introduce the background of the characters, and they are also a simple foreshadowing for the later development.

Behind is the scene of Hua Ge practicing in various places such as restaurants, buses, and homes. Then new characters appeared, and Li Binbin and her star husband Jiang Haowen also appeared.

Then from their interactions and conversations, the audience also learned a little bit about their background. It turned out that Li Binbin was Jiang Haowen's second wife, and they had been married for several years, but Jiang Haowen's daughter still hasn't waited to see Li Binbin, and has never accepted her as a stepmother.

Then Li Binbin also deceived the big star Jiang Haowen once with his super high acting skills, pretending to be angry. Knowing that she was tricked, Jiang Haowen was not only not angry, but also greatly relieved, saying that her acting skills were too incredible - it can be seen that the two of them get along with each other, Li Binbin completely ate her husband to death.

······ Soon Wan Qian also appeared, and she drove a lady's motorcycle and hit Brother Hua.

Fortunately, the speed is not fast, and there is nothing wrong with people. But she still felt sorry, and took him back to her father's western restaurant and invited him to coffee and sandwiches.

As a result, after a few conversations, I learned that he turned out to be a pianist, and coincidentally, her family's western restaurant happened to lack a pianist.

So she invited him to try out their piano, and Hua Ge's piano skills soon overtook her and her father.

So they invited him to work as a pianist for their western restaurant.

"You don't mind if I ask a question, do you? What's wrong with your eyes? Wan Qian drove Brother Hua home on a motorcycle, and asked him such a question on the way.

"I was hit by a tennis ball when I was 14 years old."

"What?"

"When I was 14 years old, a tennis ball hit me in the head and caused damage to my optic nerve!"

"Oh."

"Can we talk about something happy?"

"Yes." Wan Qian sent Brother Hua downstairs to his house, and the two said that they would come back at five o'clock in the afternoon to pick him up and go to work in the Western restaurant.

At this time, she praised his piano ability again, saying that he had finished the piece very well, so don't think too much.

"You play so well, I love it!"

"I'll finish it today."

"It feels like I'm done."

"But it's not actually finished yet."

"It's best to have flaws." Brother Hua was a little stunned by this sentence, because this happened to be very similar to what he was doing at this time - a blind man became a pianist, so is it better for a person with defects to become a more powerful pianist?

"Don't overthink it, you'll spoil it, goodbye!" Seeing that Brother Hua hadn't spoken, Wan Qian said again.

The two separated, and Wan Qian finally turned on the motorcycle; At this time, Hua Ge also sped up the pace of climbing the stairs, he quickly walked into his room, and then took off his sunglasses, and then took off the contact lenses in his eyes············

"Huh? Is he pretending to be blind? This is the first turning point in "The Tuner", and at this time many viewers realized a problem: it turns out that the male protagonist of the movie has always been pretending to be blind!

Many people who have watched the original short film of Liguo are not surprised, because it is the male protagonist who pretends to be blind and has a series of later stories!

And in this scene, the director also buried a foreshadowing. It was when the actor Brother Hua was in a hurry to take off his contact lenses and wanted to determine Wan Qian's figure and appearance, he was discovered by the neighbor child downstairs··········· The movie continued, after Brother Hua and Wan Qian met, because they needed to pick him up and drop him off and commute, the two had a lot more opportunities to get along, and they were also attracted to each other's personalities and talents, and the two soon fell in love.

Brother Hua also met the big star Jiang Haowen when he was working in a Western restaurant. It turns out that he is also a frequent customer of this western restaurant, and often eats and talks with others here.

After coming a few times, he was also impressed by Hua Ge's piano talent, and it happened that his wedding anniversary with his wife Li Binbin was coming, so he invited him to his house and played piano tunes for them and his wife.

The big star was very generous, and he also said that he would give him another fee after playing, so of course Brother Hua would not refuse this part-time job.

Prepare to go to their house on time tomorrow and play piano music for them. The next day, he came to Jiang Haowen's community on time, and after entering the elevator, he came to the seventh floor.

Their house was at number 702, so he found his place and started ringing the doorbell. But the doorbell rang for a long time and no one came to open it, so he rang it a second time.

After a while, the door finally opened, and the figure of Li Binbin appeared. She opened a little open door, leaned against it, and began to ask him, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Hello, Mr. Lin asked me to come."

"My husband is not at home."

"It's Mrs. Lin, isn't it? Happy Anniversary! I am a pianist invited by Mr. Lin Jiaming, and I am here to attend a private concert. ”

"What private concert? - He's gone to Kyoto, and he may not be back until tomorrow. ”

"But he called me today — at one o'clock. Sorry, maybe I came a little early. ”

"Maybe you're misremembering the day.

Li Binbin didn't want to dwell on it anymore, and wanted to close the door after saying this.

"Definitely today, he also gave me an advance. Say it was a surprise - sorry, maybe I shouldn't have told you, but you can call and ask him. "Right here, perhaps the conversation between the two of them was too long and too noisy, and the door of 701 on the opposite side also opened, revealing the figure of an old lady; She was looking over curiously.

Li Binbin smiled at her, but quickly retracted it; Then she said to Brother Hua, "Please come in!" Brother Hua, who was wearing sunglasses and holding a guide stick, touched the door and walked in.

Li Binbin closed the door. The two soon appeared in front of the piano in her living room, and Brother Hua sat down on the stool in front of the piano.

Li Binbin took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Jiaming, will you invite the pianist to your house today?······ Ah, you should have told me, I didn't even change my clothes····· Okay, then you should go home early. After Li Binbin finished the call, he said to Brother Hua: "He said he would be there in ten minutes." Brother Hua smiled and said, "Okay, madam, this is a wonderful piano, it's so beautiful."

"Are you not completely ····· Partially blind, or totally blind? ”

"I'm totally blind. When I was 14 years old, tennis destroyed my optic nerve. Li Binbin nodded lightly: "Despite this, you can still play the piano?" Brother Hua smiled and nodded his ears: "My hearing is very good." ”

"Just play it and watch it."

"Okay." Brother Hua flipped open the lid, touched the keys back and forth from beginning to end, and then began to play the piano.

"Ding, ding, ding·····" Brother Hua smiled and played a joyful piano song.

Li Binbin's expression also relaxed a little at this time, she leaned back against the wall, tilted her head slightly, but her sad expression was a little out of place with the cheerful piano music.

This piano piece is not long, and Brother Hua played it quickly. Then at this time, his expression also changed slightly, because on the other side of the living room, less than five or six meters away from them, there was a person lying at this time, and there was a burgundy liquid on the ground, which looked like blood?

"Bang bang." After the piano music ended, Li Binbin looked at him again, and then gave him a round of applause: "Wow! It's so good, it's amazing! My husband's surprise to me was so powerful! He's still very romantic! ”

"Ma'am, can you borrow the bathroom?" Li Binbin's face changed, she was a little hesitant, but she couldn't find a reason to refuse, so after a pause for a few seconds, she walked over: "Of course." She began to help him walk to the other side of the living room, and then followed them, and the scene on the other side of the living room became clearer and clearer, and more details were revealed.

It turned out that the burgundy liquid on the ground was not blood, because there were many broken red wine glass shatters next to it, and it was estimated that these liquids were just red wine.

But there was no doubt that there was a man lying on the ground—or rather, a corpse lying on the ground!

·····

"Ah, who is the one who died?"

"I don't know, and I haven't released it for us yet."

"Maybe it's her husband, right?" When the movie is put here, it finally officially enters the most important and main content.

After a full half an hour of foreshadowing, the film officially entered the point where the contradictions and impulses are the most intense in the whole work.

That is, the origin and beginning of the whole story: the death of the heroine's star husband! The foreshadowing is so long in the early stage, which is rare in Li Jingkun's previous works.

But the rhythm in the early stage is not slow at all, not only is it told very smoothly, but it also clearly explains the identity and background of the actor Hua Ge and the cause of the story, so the audience does not feel very boring at all.

"It's a completely different technique and rhythm!" When they saw this, many female viewers were frightened and began to whisper something.

And Ning Hao couldn't help but say.

"Yes, it doesn't seem to be a lot of fancy tricks this time, so I'm telling the story in chronological order at the moment." Zhang Yibai also replied to him.

"The Tuner" is completely different from "Chinatown Detective" and "Nobody", "Chinatown" is very hilarious and joyful, with comedy, suspense and reasoning; Not to mention "The Nameless", with a three-line narrative.

Now that it's "The Tuner", it feels like it's a bit back to basics, just telling the story so honestly, and the foreshadowing is so long in the early stage, I'm not afraid to drive the audience away!

"But it's very attractive, the choice of each clip is also very modest, and the rhythm is really well controlled." Chen Kexin also commented briefly.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. The foreshadowing of the first half hour, although it looks very long, each clip is very restrained, and there is actually a lot of content filled.

That's why the audience doesn't feel bored at all. But no matter how comfortable and smooth it is, it is difficult to be a good movie without contradictions, so now this key point is finally here!

The first big suspense in the movie appeared! The male protagonist, who pretends to be a blind pianist, comes to the home of his clients and prepares to play a piano piece for them; But suddenly a man's body was found in their house, so how would he face the next dilemma?

First of all, who is this man? Is it the big star who invited him to play piano music here? Who killed him?

Will the hostess see the fact that the male protagonist is pretending to be blind? Will the hostess let the male protagonist leave without a hitch?

With all kinds of questions and expectations, everyone continued to watch······ The bathroom in the big star's house is very spacious and luxurious, and when Brother Hua was brought to the door, Li Binbin naturally let him in alone.

But a moment before closing the toilet door, she looked at the other corner of the bathroom before closing the door.

The actor Hua Ge is pretending to be blind, and the audience from God's perspective knows this very well. Therefore, many people speculated whether he was going to come to the bathroom to call the police?

Or do you want to relax your nerves? Or maybe think about what to do next? But what everyone didn't expect was that after entering the bathroom, Brother Hua did not relax at all, but continued to think of himself as a blind man, fumbling to make sure that the bathroom door was closed, and then turned around to find out where the toilet was, and then began to put water or something.

"Boom!" In the originally quiet scene, a slight background sound was suddenly added, and many viewers were a little startled.

Because at this time, the camera flipped, and the scene on the other side of the bathroom also appeared in front of everyone - a strong man in a white vest was staring at Brother Hua fiercely, holding a pistol in his hand!

·····

"Ah, scare me!" Many timid girls couldn't help but scream softly. This transition is too sudden and scary!

But combined with all kinds of signs, combined with the last look in Li Binbin's eyes just now, it is so reasonable and natural!

So the answer has come out: the man who died is the big star himself! The murderers who killed him were Li Binbin and the man in front of him!

So, what's next for the actor? After coming to the bathroom, he can't think of countermeasures and call the police, so what will he do next?

······ Brother Hua finished going to the toilet, flushed, washed his hands, and then groped his way to open the door and walked out.

Li Binbin's lover, the tall man in the white vest, also walked out after him with a blank face.

At this time, the audience in the movie theater, like the protagonists in the story, was in a state of holding their breath, afraid that they would accidentally make some noise, and then it would affect Brother Hua's situation.

After the actor Hua Ge came out of the bathroom, Li Binbin took him back to the piano again. This time he passed by the corpse again, and this time the camera finally gave him a positive one directly - it was really the big star who invited Hua Ge to come to his house to play piano music!

At this time, the cheerful piano music sounded again as background music, and here the director gave a flashback plot.

It turned out that in order to surprise his wife, Jiang Haowen lied to him that he was going on a business trip to Kyoto on his wedding anniversary.

But in fact, he arranged everything, gifts, flowers, high-end wine, private piano concerts, etc.

He was going to lie to her that she was going on a business trip, and then kill her back that day and give her a huge surprise!

Unexpectedly, he failed to give her a huge surprise, but was given a big hat by the other party!

Not only that, but in the end, he lost his life because of it··········· The flashback is brief and quickly returns to what is happening at this point.

Hua Ge continued to play the piano music, but in the cheerful piano sound, it was an absurd and terrifying scene: in the beautiful and moving music, Li Binbin and her lover were dealing with the crime scene in the living room, dealing with the body of her husband!

Pull away the corpses, sweep away the broken glass shards, and clean the floor with a mop·····

"Cow Pi!" This is the voice in the hearts of many viewers at this time - this picture and scene alone raises the style of the whole movie!

It's so absurd and outrageous! What a black humor! The handling of this scene is amazing!

"Li Jingkun has the potential of a master!" Zhang Yibai couldn't help but whisper to Ning Hao. However, Ning Hao just nodded and did not speak.

Of course, he can see the excitement of this scene, and he really admires Li Jingkun's growth and progress!

It's true that this movie is a commercial film, but there are also a lot of film art techniques used in it, and it is also very clever, and it is indeed very high!

If Li Jingkun uses this method to make literary films, it is estimated that it will be another work that can sweep many film festivals!

It's just that this time "The Tuner" is adapted from someone else's original short film, and the main idea is also applied to others, will this make the style of this movie also lower a bit?

Will it make other people's evaluation of Li Jingkun automatically lower by one point? But don't be too anxious, Li Jingkun is still so young, and there are still many opportunities.

Even if he is not qualified to be called a film master now, even if everyone will still question his age and qualifications, he has achieved so many and such great achievements at such a young age, and in time, it is definitely possible to become a master!
