[US Entertainment] From web dramas to Oscars

Chapter 10

Ning Hao, speaking of it, he may be less famous than top directors in the future, but he is one of the most outstanding directors born in the [-]s, and he is also the fourth director in China to enter the [-] million yuan club.After "Crazy Racing" was released, the title of "ghost director" undoubtedly fell on him.

And the him ten years ago was not a big director with a cumulative box office of more than one billion ten years later.Now he is just an assistant director who just graduated a few years ago and still looks up to the director in the ordinary TV drama crew.

"Hello." When meeting Ning Hao, Fopper first stretched out his hand and looked at him with a smile.

"Hello." Ning Hao who was opposite also greeted Fopper with a smile at this time.

"I think you should have read the script. Let me tell you bluntly, I want you to shoot this film and then send it to the Venice Film Festival for review." Knowing that this year Ning Hao's "Emerald Green The Grass was selected for the Berlin Film Festival, so at this time Fopper did not doubt whether his film would be sent to the Venice Film Festival.

"Of course I have seen the script of the movie. It is perfect, not only the narration of the plot. And the sub-shots depicted in the script also let me imagine what the finished product of this movie will be like. It can be said, This is the most perfect reasoning movie I've ever seen. But..." He didn't finish speaking, but Fopper also understood what Ning Hao meant.Of course, a good movie must be paired with a good actor to be able to show its perfect charm.

"Of course we can test whether I can be the leading actor in this movie."

"Of course. If you are very good, we can start the film immediately. In fact, I have already scratched the script of the movie. And I also called the crew, just waiting for the funding and actors to be in place."

"..." For the first time, Fopper met someone who was more anxious than him.

In fact, it is not to blame Ning Hao for being anxious, after all, it is almost mid-July now.The opening of the Venice Film Festival is in September, so he must complete the film and all shooting before August.As for the producer, Ning Hao didn't even think about it. When he saw the sub-shots of the script and the descriptions of various details, Ning Hao knew that this thing would not be his.In fact, Ning Hao knew that if it wasn't for the fact that the director of the young man in front of him might not be strong enough, it might not be his turn to be the director of this movie.

"tuner"!This is the name of the movie in Ning Hao's hands.

Its story is extremely simple but unexpectedly complicated. Ali is a talented pianist who has been learning piano for [-] years. amazed by the technology.However, he failed at the Rachmaninoff International Piano Competition, which he dreamed of.And he didn't get back up like in the movie, but fell to the bottom of his life after a setback.

After a period of adjustment, Ali found his own way out - becoming a blind piano tuner.

Of course, the blind piano tuner here is a profession, and blind is just a modifier. He just wears contact lenses to make others think he is blind.

Because he is pretending to be blind, many people subconsciously think that his hearing is more acute, which allows him to get more tuning opportunities. Even because he is blind, the master who tunes the piano will not know. Fortify him.This feeling intoxicated him.But when he encountered a murder case, things changed...

He brought Ning Hao to an acting classroom with a piano in the Shanghai Opera, and called all the other actors of "Sophia's Diary". After talking about the situation in general, Ning Hao's review began at this time.

"Very good." Nodding, Ning Hao said to Fopper: ""The Tuner" is a script written by you. I don't think anyone knows the script of this movie better than you, even me. But the Yu Ji, I still want to say, now you are going to perform a blind person, and your job is to tune the piano of the client, please imagine that you are tuning the piano now." Ning Hao gestured Fopper.

"Okay." Of course, no one knows the script better than Fopper, but Fopper also knows that Ning Hao did this to let him get into the state better.

"Huh..." Taking a deep breath, Fopper closed his eyes, began to brew emotions, and entered the role.The next moment, Fopper opened his eyes, but at this moment his agile eyes became dull, and he tentatively groped forward with both hands, touched the corner of the piano, and then slowly sat down.

Open the cover of the piano, tap on the table with flexible hands, listen carefully and attentively, frowning from time to time, as if discovering that the sound of a key is not right, and then fumbled to adjust it.

"..." Ning Hao watched Fopper's performance very intently. In fact, Fopper's performance level really surprised Ning Hao.Although his current performance can be regarded as an acting school, he still lacks a little charm of acting.However, he did some small movements of the blind man very well, and he handled some details very well.

"Very well, but you are not blind, you are just pretending to be blind, in fact you can see everything, there is a murder in this house, the murderer is standing behind you. He has an air nail gun in his hand , as long as you have any abnormalities, he will kill you with one shot, but he thought you were really blind, so he didn't do anything, what should you do at this time?"

As soon as Ning Hao's voice fell, Fopper's expression changed.In fact, there wasn't much change, but the speed of his chest rising and falling became obviously faster, and his head began to tilt left and right unconsciously, as if he wanted to see the murderer with a gun behind him, but he tried his best to restrain himself.The corners of the mouth contracted subconsciously, as if clenching their teeth.The originally dull eyes are now full of fear and luck.The movements of Fopper's hands slowed down. Although he was still adjusting the piano, he basically raised his fingers for a long time, but he didn't know where to put them.And always wipe sweat desperately.

"Perfect!" Ning Hao yelled at this time, and Fopper's performance at this moment can really be called the actor-level.Not only does he leave the impression that he is a blind person to the people behind him in the back view, but at the same time he shows his fear in the front view, and his anxiety about whether he will be discovered is also brought into full play.

"Should I say that he really deserves to be his own son, so he understands?" Although Ning Hao really wanted to classify Fopper's performance as 'because he really knows this movie so well'.But he also knew that was not the case.It's Fopper's true acting mastery.

On the other side, other people onlookers also expressed their amazement at Fopper's acting skills.In fact, in their vision, if the role of Jian was changed to them, no one is confident that they can do it more perfectly than Fopper.No matter from which aspect.Such a situation dissipated the depression caused by hearing that the protagonist of the film had been appointed by Fopper.

Because that's how the male lead is decided.So the following roles were all divided up by others.As imagined before, Wang Shu got the role of murderer.

In fact, the original "Tuner" murderer was not a man, but an old woman.Because the fear of an old woman can better set off the cowardly and timid character of the protagonist from the side, and it can bring a certain shock to the audience.But from Fopper's point of view, he doesn't think so. Although that can satirize the protagonist's character, it also shows the woman's cruelty, so after some hesitation, Fopper decided to replace the murderer with a man.Of course, Fopper wrote this situation in the script to let Ning Hao make up his own mind.Looking at the results, Ning Hao chose the same answer as him.

The role was also quickly selected, so "The Tuner" can also be announced to start filming at any time.But in fact, before the filming of "The Tuner" started, Fopper and others had to complete the filming of "Sophia's Diary".Not only because it would be a devastating blow to the popularity of Goldfinger Studio if it was cheated like this, but also because all the expenses of the crew of "Tuner" had to be taken from "Sophia's Diary".

Although "The Tuner" is only a ten-minute movie.But he is a real movie-level film and television work, so nothing can be sloppy.In this way, under Ning Hao's helpless eyes, Fopper could only complete the filming of "Sophia's Diary" quickly.

However, thanks to the familiarity with the mode of "Sophia's Diary" in recent days, everyone's shooting speed has improved a lot, so in just three days, all the remaining episodes have been completed.Moreover, because of the continued popularity of "Sophia's Diary" in the past few days, the advertising amount of the agreement signed with Unicharm has reached [-].In addition, several advertising companies have come up with contracts and are preparing to sign contracts with "Sophia's Diary".This greatly increased the budget of "The Tuner", which made Ning Hao's depressed mood much brighter.

With the completion of "Sophia's Diary", on July [-]th, Fopper's house was already full of people, Ning Hao announced loudly that the filming of "Tuner" started!
