Reckless man of entertainment who started from a novel

Chapter 309 Unparalleled: "The Tuner" [4.6k, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a full order! 】

Jiang Shan, one of the Eighteen Arhats of the Cultural and Entertainment Office.

It's just that in recent years, he has been plagued by illnesses and three senior high schools. In addition to his advanced age, he has more energy than energy for daily work, so he resigned from his serious position in the Cultural and Entertainment Office, and only hung up a loose idle position.

When he has free time, he will also serve as a judge of the National Micro Film Competition, helping the young people in the association to check.

He has maintained this habit for many years, and this year it is the review stage of the National Micro Film Competition.

This chunky and kind old man pedaled his bicycle early in the morning and came to the Micro Film Association.

At this time, other members of the association were already sitting in the conference room, waiting for Jiang Shan's arrival.

As the most important competition of the association, the Micro Film Contest has been held for more than 20 sessions since he served as a judge of the Micro Film Contest.

This kind of competition plays an important role in discovering new directors in the industry.

There is a huge difference between microfilms and movies.

But the difference between microfilms and movies can also be divided equally.

Especially in the major contestants, it is particularly obvious.

For them, their shooting techniques and shooting styles in this period are still very immature, but they can faintly see the most prominent shining points in them.

This review meeting, from morning to night, all reviews are going through the process step by step.

Until the lights come on.

Jiang Shan took a sip of strong tea to cheer himself up and said, "How many movies are there?"

"There are four or five more."

Seeing the iron curtain descending, the current chairman hastily said:
"Elder Jiang, why don't you take a break first, these few works, it's enough for us to review them?"

"No, it's just about four or five movies. I, Old Jiang, can still hold on."

Jiang Shan waved his hand and didn't appreciate the chairman's proposal at all.

The president had no choice but to call everyone to proceed with the review.

"The next one is the entry of Li Xiang, a student from the Directing Department of East China Communication University - the tuner."

After the staff finished speaking, they pressed the play button, and the tuner played slowly.

Everyone had been busy all day, and when they heard that he was a freshman again, although he was quite famous, to be honest, it was inevitable that he would feel a little careless.

But as the plot unfolded, more than a dozen judges including Jiang Shan all stared wide-eyed.

tuner……

blind……

Blind tuner?
Blind Tuner!
Interesting!

The male protagonist was overly nervous when he participated in the Bernstein Piano Competition, lost the competition, and became decadent. Then, in the depth of the background, a woman left, indicating that he was abandoned by his girlfriend.

There are not too many introductions, but the judges can find out what the director wants to say from the perspective of the film. This is the art of the lens.

While he relied on pretending to be blind to gain extra benefits and enjoy the thrill of peeping into the world, bad luck also followed, and he entered a murder scene.

[There are voyeurs and exhibitionists everywhere! 】

The hero is!
So does the neighbor's old lady!
"Boom boom boom!"

Male protagonist: "Hello, I am the tuner service you reserved."

"I didn't book a tuner service."

The male lead took out a notebook from his pocket to compare the address, but unexpectedly, this scene was seen by the old lady next door.

"The address is correct, ma'am."

"Maybe my husband made an appointment, why don't you come back next time?"

The male protagonist: "Madam, I am blind, it is not easy for me to come here, let me go in..."

After the male protagonist complained, the door finally opened, and the male protagonist finally entered the scene of the crime.

And all of this was seen by the old lady next door. Her intriguing eyes, her staring at the woman, and her suspicious eyes at the male lead came to an end as the door closed.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The door was locked three times.

And the hero also stepped into the murder scene.

Thirteen minutes passed in a flash, and an open ending sublimated the connotation of this micro-movie again.

"This film can."

"You still need to say!"

"Details, a lot of details, this micro-movie is definitely not enough to watch once."

"call……"

Jiang Shan took a deep breath, watched the tuner, and then watched the jury arguing with each other over some details of the movie, he couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.

Li thought, he knew him.

Last year at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, he sat next to Wei Yuan, but he knew Li Xiang, and Li Xiang didn't necessarily know him.

Li Xiang has heard many people say how talented this kid is.

But what made him feel that this kid was pretty good was that the deans of other colleges approached him to persuade him to change departments, and he insisted on choosing the major of directing.

I thought he was only a freshman, and I'm afraid I couldn't wait for him to make a name for himself in the director circle.

Unexpectedly, he entered the online drama market in his freshman year, and his absurd comedy style is refreshing.

In this microfilm competition, Jiang Shan learned from his friend Dean Zhong that Li Xiang would also participate. Jiang Shan thought that he would continue his absurd comedy style, but he didn't expect it.

I didn't expect this kid to change his style of painting, and directly gave me a suspenseful show, and the language of the camera is so proficient, he has his own ideas.

It is commendable!
Just like what other judges said, there are many details in this film, which are worthy of their second review and third review. Jiang Shan tapped his finger on the table, and after everyone fell silent, he said:
"I see that everyone has something to say, so let's talk about it."

"Yes."

Everyone responded.

A short-haired reviewer couldn't bear the desire in his heart, and said immediately:

"Mr. Jiang, colleagues, then I will throw a brick to attract jade."

"Recognized as the most promising talent, he lost due to excessive tension in the most critical piano competition, and the director also used many close-up shots to show the hero's cowardice and tendency to escape from reality.

In the end, the change he chose was to hide in his own body and act as a weak person. He was at ease in the beginning, and got the sympathy and care of many people.

But something unexpected happened. The male lead accidentally walked into the room where the homicide happened just now. He was received by an old woman. At this time, her first reaction was not to run away or fight.

Instead, he was more used to it, hiding in his own body and acting as a weak person, hoping to win the old woman's sympathy or avoid her suspicion.

But not everyone sympathizes with the underdog.

You all say the ending is open ended, but I don't think so, the clues provided are sufficient.The hero must be dead, there is no suspense.

The male protagonist's clothes were covered with blood, and if he was asked to put on his clothes and leave, he would be discovered, and the unlocking sound was not heard in the end.And saw the actor's notebook, blind people can write?
I personally think that the old woman's delay in shooting was out of caution.

Be fully prepared, after all, you are a young and strong man in front of you.

Moreover, the accuracy of the nail gun is not high, but unexpectedly, the male protagonist has always been within the control of the old woman, playing the role of the weak, and the old woman is also going along with it.

This is one of the most amazing micro-movies I have ever seen since I was a judge.

The control of the narrative structure and rhythm can be said to be a genius. With a 13-minute short film, it feels like watching a complete movie.

What's even more amazing is that it subtly analyzes the weakness of human nature from one side——

Hiding behind his own mask, he unceremoniously wins sympathy and charity from good people, and does not refuse the greed of peeping.

Once facing the villain, he hides in the corner behind the mask and shivering, cowardly at the mercy of others. "

The short-haired judges spoke highly of the tuner and director Li Xiang.

But everyone has a right expression.

"I have a slightly different opinion."

"Oh?"

Just when everyone thought that the glasses judge had objections, who would have thought that the judge just stood up and explained:
"Didn't everyone find a detail? After the tuner entered, there were three locks on the door, that is, the old woman locked three locks, and he couldn't escape;
The old woman discovered that he was blind because he held onto the piano when she pushed him, and later found the notebook after washing the clothes;
The ground is paint, and the old woman is painting the house to cover up the blood.

So the conclusion I came to at the beginning -

The short film shows self-imprisonment: the male protagonist imprisoned himself in the consciousness of the blind, forgot to resist but kept implying himself that I can't see and I don't know, which is probably untenable.

It is more likely to show a person who is unbearable after 15 years of hard work and fails, becomes a voyeur while grasping what is left of his pride, and plays a blind person to gain recognition and respect.

This is actually called overcompensation in psychology.

The "bang" at 57 seconds may not only be the air gun shooting nails, but also the sound of the stage lights being turned on.

The sound of the spotlights turning on semiotically symbolizes the beginning of the performance. As for the success of a performance, it depends on the audience's reaction after the performance.

And here, the "audience" who tested the actor's performance is the old woman, and he himself said "I play for the people behind me".

The last voice arranged by the director may also symbolize a concept——

Never be an egotistical actor, whether on stage or in life, because you never know how the audience will react after the curtain call.

He becomes egotistical by overcompensating, like teasing old ladies on the street for crossing the road.

The neighbor who opens the door actually plays a key role in promoting the story.

Because according to the performance, it is an extremely boring and empty old lady living alone who likes to observe other people's lives.

When she sees that the old couple are at the opposite door but no one answers the door, she will naturally come out to take a look. This is also the reason why the old woman had to open the door to let the tuner in.

It added an important bargaining chip to his death, and at the same time echoed what the boss said in the restaurant that this society is either a voyeur or an exhibitionist.

The final reason is-

Once the hero resists or runs away, it will be revealed that he is not blind.

For a person with extremely low self-esteem trauma, reputation is more important than death.

On the one hand, the self is imprisoned in the thinking of the blind, and in fact, it is even more imprisoned in the overcompensating conceit, which is actually the shackles of human nature.

But such a tragedy seems inevitable——

From the time he worked hard for 15 years and failed all the time, he began to feel extremely inferior and needed psychological compensation, and the old woman began to accumulate her hatred for her husband, all of which cannot be changed.

So to a large extent his death is doomed, he is just walking towards his death step by step in an unknown future.

But he never gave up his stand and pursuit for a moment, and he did not slack off in his 15 years of hard work. He also experienced a little happiness in the process of heading towards the inevitable tragedy, and he was full of confidence in the future. The doomed result is gone.

Such tragedies are fundamentally unavoidable, and thus deeper than tragedies that can generally be avoided by making up for regrets. "

This level of interpretation went deeper, and even Jiang Shan couldn't help but nodded in admiration. This admiration did not mean that the judge was right, but that he was able to capture so much from the film footage and the plot in such a short period of time. A lot of information, which is very valuable.

"Let me tell you what I think."

The president tapped the pen.

Everyone heard the sound and looked at the president, only to see that the president expressed his opinion——

"I found that everyone has overlooked a detail. This detail is really wonderful. Let me analyze it a little bit.

The male protagonist is the most interpreted character by everyone. At the beginning, I also stood at this angle, but I had a flash of inspiration and discovered the problem of the old woman.

Everyone speculates from various details that the male lead has already been seen through by the old woman and is not blind. They are all looking for such details to prove that it is true. I also think the old woman has already discovered it.

But no one talked about the behavior and psychology of the old woman after she found out. I think this is the subtlety of this micro-movie.

Let's think about when the old lady discovered that the male protagonist is not blind, before entering the house.

Because when the male protagonist pressed the doorbell for the first time, the old woman was already standing behind the door, and saw the male protagonist’s behavior outside the door through the cat’s eyes. From his behavior, he was sure that he was not a blind person. Pushing back and forth, he didn't want the male protagonist to enter the house.

But since we already know that he is not blind, why let him in?
It's because of the neighbors across the street.The old woman didn't want to let the male lead in at all, but she suddenly thought of the neighbor across the street, and thus remembered how familiar the neighbor opposite her was with her home. After the old woman had spread a lot of lies, the male lead remained firm The old woman insisted on coming in, the old woman was afraid that the neighbors across the street would be suspicious, so she had to let the male lead into the house under such circumstances.

Since the male protagonist entered the house, the old woman had already made up her mind to kill. Netizens are still speculating whether the male protagonist is dead or not, so he must be dead.

After the male lead entered, the old lady locked the door behind her.

The male protagonist fell down when he entered the door. At first I thought the male protagonist’s clothes were stained with blood, but later I found out that it should be red paint. After all, the old man can’t bleed so much even if he is dead.

Now that I think about it, the old woman probably spilled the red paint on the ground on purpose. One purpose was to get the male protagonist's clothes on it, so that the male protagonist could take off his clothes and disarm him. The second purpose was to cover up the smell of blood.

Then you think that since the old woman knows that the hero is not blind, why does she have to cover up the smell of blood.

This is what I'm going to say next-the blind man wants to make people think that he is blind, and the old woman also wants the man to play his blind role well.

The male protagonist is a young man, it is absolutely impossible for the old woman to kill him head-on, so the old woman must always remind the male protagonist that you are a blind person who can't see anything.

Facing such a murderous scene, most people think of fleeing first, but the hero first thinks of the advantage of being blind. As long as the old woman believes that she is really blind, then she is likely to let him go. Go, so he must play the role of himself as a blind man well.

Both of them thought of going together, but the old woman was still afraid that the male lead would see him suddenly and stop pretending suddenly, so she tried all kinds of temptations.

First let him take off his clothes and disarm him.

Then he took off his glasses and shook his hands in front of his eyes. This behavior is very important. It is not to test whether he is blind or not, but to remind the hero and let him always remember that he is a blind person who cannot see.

And such a behavior of the old woman just became a booster for the male lead, giving the male lead a hope of being alive, an illusion of being able to survive, so he pretended more carefully, trying to make the old woman look at him For the sake of a blind man, let him go.

The next thing is just fine.

Throughout the plot, the male protagonist's psychology is erratic, maybe he saw it suddenly, and the old woman is to let him have a firm belief that you can only leave alive if you are always blind. "

……

……

This microfilm review meeting seems to have become a sound engineer seminar.

The judges from all walks of life were expressing their opinions, and everyone was talking endlessly.

As if this tuner is a treasure trove that can never be dug out, fresh perspectives and amazing ideas can always be unearthed.

After eight o'clock in the evening, Jiang Shan made a final decision and named Li Xiang, the tuner, the champion of this year's micro film competition.

None of the judges present objected!
Tuner Champion?
That's well deserved!

But what the judges didn't know was——

The shock about the tuner has just begun!
