The best director ever

Chapter 3 "Tuner"

It is a low-cost micro-movie, and it is related to the piano, and it can leave a deep impression on Han Qiu's heart, so there is only one movie.

That is "Tuner"!
The duration of this micro-movie is very short, including the beginning and the end of the subtitles, it is less than 15 minutes in total, but in this short 15 minutes, it uses an extremely simple story to directly poke the deepest contradictions in human nature , It is outrageous to tell a few profound truths.

Throughout the film, there is not a single plot in "The Tuner" that is superfluous, nor does it say that something is missing that leads to the lack of connotation in the film.Its plot can be described as perfect, and the connotation revealed in the whole film at the end is also extremely shocking.

In the previous life, it had a score of 9.2 on China Douban!A high score to look up to.But even though its score is very high, its popularity is not too wide in China
For one thing, it is a foreign microfilm, and it is also a French movie in a small language.Generally speaking, the number of viewers of short films is smaller than that of long films, let alone French ones.Secondly, it is only spread on the Internet, and has never been recommended by any domestic media, and there is no opportunity to emerge.Third, it is different from the profound connotation of ordinary movies. While it is thought-provoking, it can only be spread in a small circle on the Internet.

As a literary youth, Han Qiu likes this microfilm very much, and the thought-provoking connotation in it makes Han Qiu feel awe.Movies, in Han Qiu’s view, tell people something through the interpretation of a story, or people will have emotional resonance, inner reflection and deep thinking after watching this movie.

The above are literary movies, and Han Qiu himself likes this kind.There are also commercial movies, which are generally large-scale productions, and the adrenaline of the audience is soared through cool big scenes, so as to obtain unparalleled movie-watching enjoyment.

However, this kind of movie often lacks connotation. In layman's terms, after watching it, you will only think it is handsome, cool, and exciting, and you will enjoy watching it, but after watching it for a while, you will not feel much. , even, some commercial movies you watch and quickly forget the plot.

In short, literary films and commercial films each have their own advantages, and each has its own market.The ones that can win the box office are commercial films, but the films that can stand the test of time are often literary films, and most of the films that can win Oscars and global awards are also literary films.

Have you seen that big sci-fi movie that won the best picture Oscar?The answer is: no!
From a director's point of view, in his heart, Han Qiu has a balance between commercial films and literary films. In his previous life, he tried both kinds of films and achieved good results.However, he still prefers literary films in his heart, and he still prefers to play emotional cards with the audience through movies.As a matter of course, the idea of ​​filming the microfilm "Tuner" became more and more intense in Han Qiu's heart.

As soon as he said it, Han Qiu immediately returned to the classroom, took out his pen and notebook, and began to write vigorously.In his previous life, he had watched "The Tuner" no less than five times, and he knew the development of the plot well.What's more, he is a professional director himself, so Han Qiu can easily handle things like writing scripts and splitting shots.

And when writing the script, Han Qiu found that the memory of his previous life seemed to be solidified, as if carved into his mind by a knife, he could clearly recall every detail he had experienced.This naturally includes the movies he watches.So in this way, Han Qiu wrote more smoothly.

The plot of "The Tuner" is less than 4 minutes, and it took Han Qiu less than two hours to write the entire script.By the time Han Qiu put down his pen, it was already noon.

Holding the script, Han Qiu hastily finished his lunch in the cafeteria, and then rushed back to the dormitory without stopping.

"Comrades, I've finished the script!" Han Qiu shouted loudly as soon as he returned to the dormitory, waving the script in his hand.

"Oh? So fast?" Ye Chen popped up from the bed and asked in surprise, "This time, you're not going to shoot a small animal in the dormitory again, are you?"

"Nonsense! It's definitely not." Han Qiu threw the script on the table, then walked into the bathroom, "The script is there, you should read it first."

"Okay, I want to see what you can come up with." Ye Chen smiled.But before he finished speaking, Lin Hua had already held the script in his hands.

"Don't worry, let me take a look first!"

However, after Lin Hua looked at it for a while, the smile on his face gradually faded away, as if a pair of invisible hands grabbed his mind and made him change his expression.And when he finished reading the script, his face became extremely heavy, no matter how much he tried to pretend to be calm, he couldn't hide the deep thought on his brow.

"Old Lin, have you finished reading it? Hurry up and throw it over to me." Seeing that Lin Hua was silent, Ye Chen shouted hastily.

"Oh, here it is." Lin Hua reluctantly handed the script to Ye Chen, as if he was handing a rare treasure instead of a script.

For students of their directing department, an excellent script is undoubtedly a rare treasure.

And when Ye Chen finished reading the script, the hippie look on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of shock.

As if he didn't want to finish, Ye Chen turned to the first page again and browsed again, but this time his browsing speed was more than twice as slow as before!
In the end, Ye Chen flipped through the plot on the first and last pages back and forth. Combining the two plots before and after, the shock on his face became more and more intense, and finally slowly turned into a sigh.

"This plot!" Ye Chen held the script, and the hesitation on his face seemed to show that he didn't know how to describe the story.

"You were also scared, weren't you?" Lin Hua smiled wryly.

"It's not just that I was frightened. I was so shocked by the plot of Lao Han that I was speechless. One word: I am convinced!"

"That's three words for you."

"I don't care. Anyway, I am convinced. This graduation project says that I have to follow Lao Han. I don't feel comfortable if I don't make it out of such a ridiculous script!"

At this moment, Han Qiu came out from the bathroom, and said with a smile, "How about this script, do you want to play it?"

"Nonsense, of course we have to do it!" Ye Chen replied without hesitation.

Lin Hua spread his hands, "You have said that, do I still have room to refuse?"

Han Qiu nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, let's make a deal, we will shoot this script, and it's only the middle of April, that is to say, we still have more than a month to finish this movie, but today we will pool the money first Let’s get together and find equipment, actors and venues in the afternoon.”

"Row!"

"no problem!"

The two nodded without any doubt.In the end, the three of them pooled the money together, a total of 13500 yuan, which was a bit more than Han Qiu expected.

"However, the camera is a bit troublesome." Han Qiu frowned.

"Same as before, go to school to rent." Ye Chen replied.

"No, I mean this time we need to use a good camera, we can't just rent one casually like before."

Lin Hua pondered: "The school also has good cameras, but the rental price may be a bit expensive."

"That's right, that's what I'm worried about. With this amount of money, other costs are thrown away, and the rest may not be able to rent for many days."

"What's the use of talking about it now, if you ask in the past, you'll know?" Ye Chen frowned and suggested.

Han Qiu pondered for a while, then decided: "Okay, let's ask first!"

After finishing speaking, the three young men walked out of the dormitory, accompanied by a script of just a few pages.
