"The Tuner" tells the story of Zhang Wen, a piano tuner who pretends to be blind, and encounters all kinds of unexpected experiences after accidentally becoming a "witness" to a murder.

The above is the basic introduction of the "Tuner" movie during the promotion, and it is also the information that the audience can get before watching this movie.

Combined with the short film "The Tuner", as well as the label "suspense" and the usual routine of suspense movies, the general guess in the hearts of the audience and film critics when watching it is that this tuner pretending to be blind may expose the fact of pretending to be blind, and be in danger, deal with the murderer, and then bring the murderer to justice.

Or the tuner, in order to protect himself, continues to pretend to be blind while dealing with the murderer, and then brings the murderer to justice.

But in fact, as the film slowly unfolds, these speculations are too shallow.

Everyone finally realized that Lu Ping'an's "full of stamina" was not nonsense.

The plot of The Tuner is divided into four parts.

Part 1: A genius pianist pretends to be blind for art, and reaps career love with his talent.

Part 2: The genius pianist becomes an eyewitness to the murder, and the murderer turns him into a real blind one.

Part 3: Just got out of the wolf's den, fell into the tiger's mouth, reversed and reversed, the plot exceeded expectations.

Finally, there is the fourth part: the big reversal, and the ending of the horror.

In the first two parts, the realistic and warm daily life, after encountering love, the protagonist Zhang Wen thinks about whether to confess that he is pretending to be blind.

Then he encountered the scene of the murder, and he was strong and calm and escaped the catastrophe, full of suspense.

Then the protagonist went to report the crime, but found that the police chief was the murderer, so the crisis came again, the heroine and the police chief tested whether he was blind, made moves, took the calls, and resolved them one by one, but witnessed the second witness being pushed downstairs, so he was suspected again, and the protagonist was pushed to the edge of the cliff again, which made everyone in the theater fearful.

As of this time, this is still an ordinary suspense drama, which is about the same as what I expected before watching the movie.

But in the third part, the plot begins to exceed expectations.

Suspected again, poisoned and blinded, and the joint trio killed and kidnapped, killed again, and reversed...

Finally, in the fourth part, the protagonist arrives in London and meets his girlfriend Sophie.

The protagonist tells Sophie, and at the same time tells the audience the "truth" of the story.

But really, what is the truth?

There are countless puzzles in the hearts of the audience: if he is still blind, the doctor and the heroine are dead, and he has no other acquaintances, then, how did he end up in London? Where does the money come from? He can't see with his eyes, how can he come alone?

After thinking about it, the answer is given in the ending shot of the film, but it brings more speculation.

The ending shot is that Zhang Wen, who is wearing sunglasses, separates from Sophie, but uses his cane to fly a can in front of him on the ground!

It can be seen that he is not blind! His eye was cured! And this can that was knocked off also knocked on the hearts of moviegoers.

is a reversal, and some serious film critics can't help but shout out an amazing quintessence output in their hearts.

So, since the male protagonist's eyes are cured, whose cornea is it? And where does the money come from for cornea transplantation?

In a series of doubts and thoughts, the film ends.

。。。。。。。

The lights are back on.

Bang la la blah.

Warm applause rang out.

The creators took the stage again.

Then there is still the interaction after watching the movie.

After a high-quality work, Lu Ping'an also felt the rapid rise in his attention before and after the screening.

If it is said that before the screening, reporters and fans came to cheer more for the guests and some of the curiosity to watch the movie.

So now most of the attention is focused on the movie itself and the director Lu Ping'an.

"May I ask if the protagonist Zhang Wen is a good person?"

"Hello Director Lu, how did you come up with such a plot?"

"Director Ping'an, why don't you act yourself?"

"Lu Dao, what are your expectations for the box office?"

"What are your expectations for the awards?"

"Will it be released overseas?"

"Why are the police inside like those in Southeast Asian countries..."

The interaction was very lively.

In addition to Lu Ping'an being asked the most, the protagonists Zhang Songwen and Jiang Wenli and others were also asked many questions.

At this time, the atmosphere in the theater is much more lively than at the beginning.

The reason is naturally because the quality of the film has been affirmed by everyone.

So the premiere was naturally a success.

Half an hour later, the premiere ended, the audience came and returned with excitement, reporters and film critics received red envelopes and happily went back to write scripts, and the guests also moved to the hotel next to them to eat together.

Lu Ping'an's relatives did not come together, they did not plan to disturb Lu Ping'an's career, and ate separately.

Before leaving, relatives and Lu Ping'an all gave a few words.

Uncle: "Remember to come to the hospital, your cousin is also a doctor now, you two haven't seen each other for a long time to chat." ”

Auntie: "The movie is very good, but next time I can shoot something festive, so that I can buy a disc and go home and continue to watch it." ”

Sister-in-law: "Do you have a girl you like, don't be as silent as when you were a child, if you like it, you have to take the initiative to know no, I think Yan Danchen is good, do you want me to help you pull the strings? . . ”

Lu Ping'an smiled and laughed, sent off his relatives, and returned to the banquet, Lu Ping'an was not unexpectedly taken care of.

Everyone has realized that the success of "The Tuner" is ironclad, and the only suspense is how successful it can be.

Therefore, it is certain that Lu Ping'an will gain a firm foothold in the domestic entertainment film industry from tonight.

And that brings with it a variety of wines, one glass after another.

Fortunately, Lu Ping'an's physical fitness is excellent now, and the amount of alcohol is also good.

He also knows a lot about the work at the wine table.

So everyone had a good time tonight.

The banquet lasted more than two hours before it ended.

Lu Ping'an sent everyone away one by one and then returned to the hotel.

Yan Danchen and He Lin went home to live together, she will go back to Xi'an early tomorrow morning, there is no chance, and the road is safe and not in a hurry, rather than hurrying, otherwise wait for a good time.

The next morning, Lu Ping'an and Hu Qingquan began to talk about things, first of all, about copyright.

On the way, I bought a newspaper, and sure enough, the front page of "The Tuner" about the movie was.

"A movie that doesn't know the ending until the last minute"

Here's what the premiere and what critics and audiences have to say.

In a word, very attractive.

The news of the premiere of the big movie "The Tuner" actually began to be reported on major portals last night.

"Chen Kaige praised Lu Ping'an, the sympathy between the directors of the Palme d'Or"

"Palme d'Or director Lu Ping'an's new work, "The Tuner" is shocking"

"The Silver Bear Award work "Tuner" is not a simple plot expansion"

"Reversal and reversal, brain-burning, full of stamina, Lu Ping'an did it"

"The Tuner, a magical movie that you can't watch enough over and over again"

"The most amazing feature film debut"

“。。。”

The overwhelming reports made Lu Ping'an very satisfied, and it was not in vain that the efforts of so many days and those red envelopes were not wasted.

Soon, the two arrived at China Film, and copyright negotiations officially began.

"The Tuner" can't be screened at the Venice Film Festival in August, because even if it is screened, there are certain conditions, that is, movies that have not been screened, which is the embodiment of the three major European ones, and the re-screening of the public is second-hand, and they don't accept it.

So when it comes to overseas rights deals, "The Tuner" has to negotiate privately, like most other films.

This will bring a problem, that is, without the support of a platform such as a large film festival, there will be many fewer buyers, and the price will not be much higher.

Of course, Lu Ping'an can also choose to wait for the Venice Film Festival to start selling films and showing them privately.

But in fact, for "The Tuner", these factors will not have a particularly big impact.

First of all, the short film of "The Tuner" won the Silver Bear Award, which will have a certain bonus, especially in Europe, where the bonus of the three awards is not small.

In addition, Hu Qingquan has accumulated a lot of film business contacts during the two film festivals, and China Film also has its own connections, and these people are more interested in the big movie "Tuner", so there are also many film companies who came this time, basically from Europe, North America, East Asia and other major regions.

In addition, not long after the Magic Capital International Film Festival ended, many filmmakers who were interested in this upcoming film adaptation of the Berlin Silver Bear short film have not left, so in general, there are not many overseas distributors who come to see "The Tuner" today, and the actual transaction price of the distribution rights is estimated to be not much less.

After the first day of negotiations, the total distribution rights of "Tuner" in various countries and regions are in the range of $1 million to $1.5 million.

This is a sellout, it doesn't matter how much Lu Ping An buys the past box office, and it has nothing to do with him to make 100 million.

And now this price is more reasonable in Hu Qingquan's words.

Because the feature film "The Tuner" did not win the award, but only borrowed the light of the short film, the price is not much different from the feature film that won the award.

In this regard, Lu Ping'an and the people of China Film are actually very satisfied, because the cost is only hundreds of thousands of US dollars, which is already blood-earned.

And this is not the final price, how much can be sold in the end, China Film has stabilized, let's look at the box office first.

On the morning of the fourth day, the box office statistics of "The Tuner" in BJ's first three days came out, 1.6 million!

The BJ box office in this period is a big reference factor.

The BJ box office is multiplied by 3 to 4, which is probably the national box office.

Sure enough, the national box office gave the data, 5.3 million.

And BJ's three-day box office of 1.6 million is also the BJ box office record in the first three days of this year's domestic film box office.

The media reported it again, and China Film also made a full box office statistics for the first time, and it is expected that the national box office is likely to exceed 30 million after the release!

This time, the quotations of overseas filmmakers have risen a lot again.
