That's how I became famous

Chapter 573 "Tuner"

The topic of the closing and awards ceremony of the National College Student Film Festival continued to be discussed on the Internet, and the heat was very high.

"Congratulations to Zhou Siyu for winning Best Actress, and congratulations to Li Xiao for winning Most Popular Actor!"

"Speaking of which, it's a pity that this best actor didn't get it."

"It's nothing to be sorry about. To be honest, this film festival is a bit unprofessional. It doesn't make sense to add the most popular actor when you have the best actor."

"Everyone, don't discuss these things. Anyway, I am very happy to win the prize. Brother Stinky will work hard in the future!"

"Brother Smelly will work hard to make the best joke tonight, hahaha! Manually three dog heads!"

"Why is no one talking about "The Tuner"? Five nominations and four awards, that's really awesome!"

"By the way, when will you be able to watch "The Tuner"?"

"I guess I can watch it tonight. I seem to have seen advertisements on the three major video platforms."

"Yes, yes, "The Tuner" will be launched at twelve o'clock in the morning on all major video platforms."

"Pit, it's fine to just release it after the award ceremony is over, and I have to wait until midnight."

Although the gold content of the award is not particularly high, the size is also an award.

Especially for a ruthless person like Li Xiao who wins awards as soon as he crosses the border, everyone praises him mostly.

Now no one says that Li Xiao has the appearance of a film king, and the future can be expected.

Because this is a clear fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Xiao also has a monstrous talent in acting.

People can not only act, but also write and direct themselves.
The upload of "Tuner" to major video platforms is a cooperation that was negotiated earlier, and it will be released at zero o'clock on the day the awards ceremony ends, and it will be free for viewers to watch.

Nowadays, people have a strong sense of copyright, and the country is also vigorously cracking down on piracy, so few movies are broadcast for free, and audiences are used to paying.

When Li Xiao said he wanted to play it for free, those video platforms were of course unwilling.However, Li Xiao felt that this was his first film, and it was still a short film. In the end, he insisted on giving it to the audience for free.

Of course, watching for free doesn't mean you can't make money.Whether it's Li Xiao's side or the video platform's side, they both earn money, but they earn less.

When it was midnight, some office workers and schoolgoers who complained that the movie was only online at midnight still chose to watch it on time. When they saw the free viewing, the complaints in their hearts were instantly reduced a lot.

The movie is only 13 minutes long, which also satisfies some people who are rushing to sleep, and it is not too late to go to bed after watching it.

The Dragon Logo logo of Huaguo Movie flashed past, and the low-pitched piano sound kicked off the movie. The camera slides slowly, jumping from the piano box to an old man with gray hair. The old man only shows a profile.

The piano sound continued, the camera turned to the right, and a sound began to come out, as if someone was speaking an inner monologue.A naked back appeared in the picture and then slowly turned to the front face of the owner of the back, Lizart. His body swayed as his fingers danced on the piano. It turned out that he was playing the piano.

Lizart, who couldn't see any expression, was playing the piano all the time. He didn't dare to make other movements, because he knew that there was a person behind him, a person who threatened his life, who was holding something against him. Watching myself, just waiting for something strange to appear in myself.

There was a sudden sound, like the sound of closing a door, the screen went black, and three large characters appeared: tuner.

The audience who watched the beginning of the film were baffled and thought they had seen the end of the film.

Viewers who have read a lot of films can feel it. This seems to be a flashback?

The female audience focused all their attention on Li Xiao's exposed upper body, and all kinds of nympho bullet screens filled the whole screen at the moment when Li Zate, played by Li Xiao, appeared.

The three words "tuner" paused for about three seconds, and the screen flashed, and a stage appeared.

There is a piano on the stage, a figure walks up to the piano and bows, and Lizart's narration appears again.

"Last year, I was considered a genius, and I thought I had a bright future. In 15, all my efforts were aimed at achieving one goal, the Huaguo Piano Competition."

Lizart sat down in front of the piano, manually adjusted the height of the chair, and took out a rag to wipe the piano.He was very nervous, so nervous that his breath was short of breath, and he made a sound as his fingers fell on the keys.

The camera flashed, and Lizart was lying on the bed.

"I failed." Lizart's narration.

At this time, Lizart is obviously much more decadent. In the piano competition, his hair was combed meticulously, and no beard stubble could be seen, but now his eyes are dull, with thick dark circles, and the beard stubble is also protruding out of his head without taking care of it. .

Lizart turned over on the bed, and his failure in the piano competition made him fall to the bottom, and his will became depressed because of this.

There is also a woman in the picture wearing a coat, and then leaving with her luggage, it seems that Lizart can't bear the depression.

As the door closed, the audience remembered the sound at the beginning of the film. That sound seemed to be the sound of closing the door?

Li Xiao perfectly interprets the state of a decadent, depressed, and self-depraved person.

Curled up on the bed, as if hiding in the world I wove, the eyes I opened didn't look bright, even when my girlfriend closed the door vigorously, I just blinked my eyelids.

In this scene, Li Xiao got the approval of the audience.

"To be honest, Li Xiao played a bit ugly in this drama, but his attitude is very good, and this decadent state is very well played."

"At the beginning, some people said that Li Xiao was able to play Xiaobei well, only because Xiaobei was a young character, and he played the role in his true colors. I really pooh-poohed them! What about this role now?"

"Li Xiao's performance is very good. The image of a frustrated young man is well interpreted, and there is a sense of resonance."

"I am in this state now, completely denying myself and locking myself in a world I have woven."

"When my girlfriend closed the door and left, the eyelids blinked very well! It's not that I don't care, but I feel that I don't have the ability to care."

From the next conversation between Lizart and his agent Jadry in the restaurant, the audience knew Lizart's method of self-salvation, jumping from one abyss to another.

He started pretending to be a blind person in order to gain the sympathy of his clients. He kept saying that he had no bad taste in prying into other people's privacy, and used the excuse of saving himself to walk further and further into the abyss step by step.

Interspersed in it is a very successful clip of Lizart pretending to be a blind man in front of the client. People really relaxed their vigilance in front of the blind man. Men walked around in their underwear in front of him, and even girls would undress in front of him. Lizart also feels at ease and complacent because of this.

Lizart, who was getting used to being blind more and more, came to the door of an apartment suite according to the appointment time and the address given by the client. He rang the doorbell, but there was no response. He rang again, but still no response.

He took out the notebook he carried with him to check whether the time and address of the appointment were accurate.

After confirming that it was correct, Lizart became impatient and rang the doorbell again.Finally, approaching footsteps came from inside the door, "Who are you?"

Lizart replied: "Hi, I'm a tuner."

"Who?"

"Tuner, I'm the tuner who made an appointment to come to the door."

After waiting for two or three seconds, the woman inside the door said, "My husband is not at home, please come back another day."

Lizart was speechless, "I don't need your husband to be present to tune the piano."

"It doesn't matter, if you want, you can charge more for the visit."

"I'm a blind person." Recently, Lizart has become more and more familiar with the identity of a blind person, "It's not easy for me to come to you. You didn't cancel this appointment in advance. At least you can open the door and explain. Bar?"

After speaking, he rang the doorbell again.

The door opened and an old woman poked her head out.

The old woman obviously didn't want Lizat to go in. When she was saying sorry, there was the sound of the door opening.

The neighbors across the door heard their movement, opened the door and probed out to check the situation.

For some unknown reason, the old woman changed her mind, avoided her position, and let Lizart enter the room.

Lizart was satisfied, and the identity of the blind man allowed him to get the effect he wanted again. He continued to play the role of the blind man and walked straight into the house. His feet slipped and he didn't know what to trip over.

"What is this?" Lizart shouted.

The old woman hurried over to help him up, and said, "I didn't expect you to come this way. The house is being renovated, and I knocked over a bucket of paint. Now you understand why I won't let you in."

At this moment, Lizart panicked inside, because he knew it wasn't paint at all, no, the paint was real, but he could smell what was stained on his body—it was the smell of blood.

Moreover, in the panic of falling just now, he raised his head and saw an old man sitting on the sofa with multiple wounds on his head, bleeding blood, and eyes closed.And the old man, if he read correctly, was already dead.
With the help of the old lady, Lizart took off his coat, and then sat down on the chair in front of the piano. He was terrified by the sound of the keys.

He regretted it in his heart, regretted why he had to come in, if he hadn't come in, he wouldn't have fallen into the current dangerous situation.

The fear in Li Zate's heart has been magnified, and his identity as a blind man has made him more involved in the play, and he dare not have the idea of ​​​​resistance.

"Did you hear me?"

"Huh? What?"

"You can't stay like this, give me your clothes! I'll give you my husband's clothes, don't worry, I'll turn around and won't look at you."

Speaking of the old woman walking a few steps forward, Lizart could see that the old woman did not turn around, but stared straight at him, which made him stand upright.

Lizart tried his best not to be afraid, obediently began to take off his clothes, and tried his best to act as a blind man, pretending not to know that the old woman was watching him.

With only a pair of shorts left, the old woman walked up to Lizart with sharp eyes like an eagle, took off his sunglasses, and said, "Your sunglasses are also stained with paint."

After the old woman took off Lizart's sunglasses, she stared firmly into his eyes to confirm whether his identity as a blind person was true.

As soon as the camera turned, Lizart was tuning the piano with hands stained with paint or blood.

"Calm down, calm down, she doesn't have any reason to doubt you. You are acting normal, you really deserve the damn Golden Dragon Award."

He comforted himself in his heart, and he became suspicious again, "Who is that man on the sofa? Her husband? Didn't she say that she would give me her husband's clothes? Why hasn't she come back yet? She is washing your clothes , that's fine. Get your clothes back on, tune the damn piano for her, and go."

Suddenly, Lizart was stunned for a moment, and he remembered the notebook he had casually put in the pocket of his windbreaker.

"Bastard, damn notebook!" He cursed inwardly.

Because if a blind man, why would he carry a notebook?Moreover, this notebook does not use Braille, he has always recorded by hand.

Suddenly, the sound of heels stepping on the floor came, like a talisman, getting closer and closer.

When the old lady came back, Lizart's feet under the piano moved uneasily, and he told himself in his heart, "You can't turn around! You can't see, and you have no reason to turn around."

Lizart begged in his heart for the old woman to say something, but she didn't. He comforted himself to relax and started to play the piano.

The camera pans from the piano to Lizart's face, and then to his back, where the old woman holds a nail gun to the heel of his head.

The camera turned again, and it was a mirror. In the mirror, the old woman was holding a nail gun motionless, her index finger was on the trigger position, and the other hand was holding the head of the nail gun. playing the piano.

As soon as the screen went dark, the sound of the piano remained the same, and the behind-the-scenes list of the movie began to appear.

"Fuck!"

"This is really killing yourself!"

"My God, this scene is so scary. Who is this old woman? As soon as she came out, I felt the creeps."

"Why didn't Lizart resist? He is a young and strong young man. This woman is already 70 or [-] years old, right? If you are too afraid to fight, just run away?"

"Li Xiao, ah bah, is Li Zate dead or not?"

"I still feel that the plot is too ridiculous. No matter how much a young man doesn't exercise, he will be afraid of an old woman with gray hair? Someone said before, if you really want to be afraid, can you just run away?"

"No, no, you haven't seen the deep meaning of the movie. It should be noted that Lizart has been playing the blind man for a while, and he is still proud of it. As everyone knows, people who wear masks for a long time will always take them off. not come down."

"The previous analysis is correct. Lizart is a cowardly and evasive person. He said in the chat with his agent before the movie that he pretended to be blind to save himself, so when he was in danger, he immediately substituted Not to mention whether the blind man will find himself in danger now, but he feels that the identity of the blind man can save him, and he has become accustomed to escaping reality."

"Then is he dead or not? No, no, I feel like I still don't understand some parts. I want to read it again."

"You don't remember the sound like a door closing at the beginning, but it was actually the sound of a nail gun firing, so Lizart is dead?"

"Really? No, I'm going to watch it again!"

"MD! I didn't understand it either, I have to read it again."

"."

Some office workers and student parties thought that they could fall asleep satisfied after watching a micro-movie in 13 minutes. Who knows, they couldn’t understand some details and foreshadowing in it after watching it once.
