Chapter 256 Movie King Level

"Ding Dong"

Liao Yuan rang the doorbell, then he held a cane, pushed his sunglasses, and waited quietly for the door to open.

After a while, he stepped forward and rang the doorbell again.

no one?

Liao Yuan relaxed all over. He took out the schedule book from his pocket, and after confirming that the appointment information was correct, he stepped forward to ring the doorbell again.

"what's up?"

"Ma'am, I'm here to tune the sound."

"who are you?"

"Piano tuner."

After a short pause, a voice came from the door again: "My husband is not at home, come back another day!"

Liao Yuan was a little annoyed: "Madam, I don't need your husband to be at home for my tuning."

"It doesn't matter, if you want, we will pay you the door-to-door fee as usual..."

"Money is not a big problem!"

Liao Yuan interrupted the other party: "I am blind, and I need a lot of strength to get to your house. Neither you nor your husband canceled the appointment with me. I think you didn't even open the door or explain the specific reasons. It's very disrespectful to me."

There was a long silence at the door.

Liao Yuan rang the doorbell again.

The door finally opened, and a neatly dressed old woman appeared in front of Liao Yuan.

……

Around, all crew members held their breath at this moment, completely brought into the scene by Liao Yuan's every move.

In the previous life, "The Tuner" won the Best Short Film Award at several film festivals. The script is undeniably excellent. Of course, the actors' acting skills and the director's camera control are also the biggest factors that contributed to this film.

In the play, Liao Yuan was originally a talented pianist who has been learning piano for 15 years, but in the coveted Steinway Piano Competition, he failed and his life fell to the bottom.

After a period of adjustment, Liao Yuan regained his strength and became a blind piano tuner.

In fact, he just wears contact lenses-this will make others think that his hearing is more sensitive, and thus get more sympathy and consumption, and even spy on other people's lives and privacy.

For example, you can see dancers in revealing clothes, borrow the weakness of the blind, deliberately find fault with the waiters in the restaurant, and so on.

He is immersed in this kind of detachment that seems to be outside the world despite being in a busy city.

Until this day, he came to work in a family, but he didn't know that a murder had just happened here.

……

When Liao Yuan entered the door of the old woman's room, with the short freeze-frame shot when the door was closed, the good show officially began.

"Where's the piano?"

"This way, no, don't go over there!!"

As soon as the words fell, Liao Yuan, who had just entered the living room, slipped and fell to the floor.

Dim light, claustrophobic space, a dead body is sitting on the sofa.

It was an old man with a huge blood hole on his temple, his eyes seemed to look at Liao Yuan, and the air was filled with a strong smell of paint.

Liao Yuan got up in a panic, the red blood on the floor had already stained half of his body, "What... what's going on?"

"Give me your hand, over here, over here!"

"I didn't expect you to... come, come here, go this way, sorry, our house is being renovated, and I just accidentally... knocked over a bucket of paint."

The old woman helped take off Liao Yuan's blood-stained coat: "So you should understand why I didn't let you in just now, right?"

At this moment, Liao Yuan's heart speeded up, and he was so nervous that he completely lost the ability to speak.

He faltered and nodded, the blood soaked on his arms made him cold all over.

"Come, come here!"

The old woman pushed Liao Yuan on purpose.

Liao Yuan subconsciously supported the piano.

The old woman's gaze sank slightly: "Are you listening to me?"

There seemed to be a buzzing sound in his ears, and Liao Yuan came back to his senses: "Ah? What's the matter?"

"Take off your clothes, you can't always dress like this, I'll put on my husband's clothes for you."

Liao Yuan took it off obediently. At this moment, he was suddenly murdered, and he was overwhelmed by tension and fear, which made him completely lose the ability to think alone, and obeyed the old woman's words.

"Don't worry, I'll turn around - I won't look at you." The old woman stepped aside, turned around, and stared closely at Liao Yuan.

Liao Yuan tried his best to keep calm, took off his tie, slowly took off his blood-stained suit, shirt, and trousers, and handed it to the old woman.

The old woman took the clothes, and then said: "Your glasses are also stained with something..."

Then, he took off Liao Yuan's sunglasses.

Liao Yuan kept his eyes level and tried to calm himself down.

The old woman looked at Liao Yuan's glasses, which were a pair of eyes like dead fish, lifeless.

There was doubt on her face.

After a while, Liao Yuan picked up the drumstick and tuned it on the piano in an orderly manner...

"Calm down, don't panic."

"She had no doubts at all."

"Your performance is so natural that you can win an Oscar!"

"Is that man on the sofa her husband?"

"Didn't she say to bring me her husband's clothes? Why haven't you brought them yet?"

"Huh, don't worry, maybe I'm just choosing clothes..."

"Well, after getting dressed and tuning this broken piano, leave here quickly, I hope she remembers to take out everything in my pocket..."

"Agenda!!"

"Oops, the diary in your pocket! How can a blind person have a diary?"

……

When tuner Liao Yuan was accidentally involved in this murder case, he knew that he had nowhere to hide, so he had to make a fake show and continue to play his role as a blind man.

And the simple prop setting of "schedule book" can be said to be an important object to create the suspense and horror atmosphere of the whole film.

How can a blind person have an agenda book?

When Liao Yuan was tuning the piano, he was worried that the old woman would take out the schedule book from his pocket, on the other side of the same shot, the shadow of the old woman reflected on the wall seemed to be reversing the sound of the tuner. clothes.

As the slow and crisp footsteps gradually approached, the camera also moved to Liao Yuan's feet.

At this time, the old woman's footsteps had stopped.

She stands behind the tuner.

The tense atmosphere condensed in the air and exploded at the touch of a button.

The sound of the piano sounded, and the creepy picture appeared on the monitor.

Through the mirror on the wall, everyone can see that the old woman is holding a nail gun in her hand and aiming at the back of Liao Yuan's head.

At this moment, Liao Yuan was still calmly playing the beautiful piano solo in order to adjust his temperament.

"I'm playing the piano and she won't kill me."

……

"The Tuner" was fully filmed in just one week.

There are only four real actors in the play, namely Liao Yuan, the old lady, Liao Yuan's agent, and the dancer, almost all of whom are from Donghai Drama Academy.

Among them, the old woman is Wu Xinlian, a professor of the Acting Department of Donghai Drama Academy. She is in her early 60s, has rich and perfect acting skills, and is also a national first-class actor.

Every look of her eyes, every movement, can be interpreted in countless ways in the short film, which is a real old drama.

However, even the professor of the acting department couldn't help but marvel at Liao Yuan's acting skills when he was acting with Liao Yuan, "Are you sure you didn't come from a major?"

"No."

"Never filmed a movie?"

"Does the MV count?"

Wu Xinlian looked at Liao Yuan, and said with emotion: "Some people are born to eat this bowl of rice. Mr. Liao, as I say, even if you don't become a pianist, in the actor's profession, as long as you put your heart down and perform, you can become a movie king." It's a matter of time."

"Professor Wu's praise." Liao Yuan shook his head and laughed.

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Wu Xinlian said regretfully: "I have taught so many students, they are full of peaches and plums, and they are very experienced, so I can't misjudge anyone."

"I think what Professor Wu said makes sense."

Next to him, the actor Kou Zhiyong, who played the role of the blind manager, said in admiration: "Mr. Liao's acting skills are very round and full, and he can completely lead the whole scene with his own strength. This is a real actor-level performance. I played against Mr. Liao before." When I heard Mr. Liao tell the story of the Taj Mahal, I was very shocked. Whether it is the line skills or the expression of emotions, Mr. Liao fully deserves the praise of Professor Wu."

The entire crew, from the director team down to the scene notes and the actors, all agreed with Wu Xinlian and Kou Zhiyong's words.

Some people are like this, God rewards them with food, even if they refuse to accept it.
