In the shooting of the game in the afternoon, in addition to the shots of the basketball players on the court, there are also panoramic shots of the audience cheering, sighing and yelling in the auditorium, as well as the characters played by Xu Fei and Ye Xing in the auditorium. close-up on. The plots of the arena and the audience are performed simultaneously and interspersed, but they were shot separately in the shooting.

The shots of the basketball game were more difficult, and they were shot in the front, and the shots of the audience seats were shot together after the basketball game was finished. After the game shots were finished, Qiao Xun and Guo Qi were about to leave and go back. After Xiao Yao finished the shooting of the basketball game, he declined Guo Qi's invitation to find a place to sit and chat, and returned to Sun Zhihao's side, learning how he directed the shooting of scenes with so many extras.

After the whole day's filming ended, Xiao Yao also invited Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan to have dinner outside as promised, and this was the end of the day on the set.

After finishing his visits and guest performances in the crew of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", Xiao Yao's long-prepared short film is finally about to start shooting.

Xiao Yao already had the idea of ​​making a short film during the Chinese New Year, but he didn't decide what to shoot until he played blind on the subway with Sun Tingting on the day of flash mob. On the subway that day, after he pretended to be blind and was given up his seat by someone, he saw some scenes that surprised him very rarely, which also reminded him of a very good French short film in his previous life. It happened that I was going to try my hand at shooting a short film during the summer vacation, so I just made this short film of my previous life.

The name of this short film is "The Tuner", which belongs to the thriller and suspense category. The general plot tells the story of a talented pianist who has been learning piano since he played abnormally in the most important piano competition in his life, completely ruining his dream of becoming a pianist, and his life fell into a trough. Later, the protagonist, who suffered a major setback in his life, became a piano tuner by relying on his music literacy of more than ten years of piano learning.

As a pure technician like a tuner, the life of the protagonist is not satisfactory, but he is very clever but he came up with an idea of ​​pretending to be a blind person. In the eyes of ordinary people, he will be more sensitive to hearing after losing his vision. Many customers began to appoint him, a blind tuner, to come to their door to tune the piano. This move, in addition to improving performance and increasing income, he will also enjoy more care because of others' sympathy for him during the process of tuning the piano at the client's home.

The most important thing is that because others think he is blind, they are basically undefended against him, and will reveal many sides in front of him that would not be revealed in front of others, so the protagonist can fully satisfy his desire to spy, and peek into many people's lives and. This made him feel a feeling of being out of the ordinary. He couldn't extricate himself from this feeling, and he couldn't get tired of playing the blind tuner.

But what he didn't expect was that it was precisely because of playing the role of a blind tuner that he fell into a huge crisis.

One day, the protagonist came to a house to tune the sound according to the appointment. After knocking on the door, the hostess in the house refused to let him in for various reasons. At this time, he didn't want to make the trip in vain, and he began to take advantage of the blind man. He forced the hostess to open the door and let him in on the grounds that he was inconvenient to move.

The light in the room was relatively dim, and the blind man wearing sunglasses accidentally stepped on a puddle of liquid and slipped, and his body was also covered with viscous liquid. After locking the door, the hostess followed up and helped the protagonist up, and explained to him that the house was being renovated, and what he stepped on was the paint that he accidentally knocked over. From the corner of the protagonist's eyes, he saw an old man sitting on the sofa in the living room covered in blood, and the liquid on his body was obviously also blood.

The startled protagonist realizes that he has entered the scene of a murder. The old woman who opened the door for him was probably the perpetrator, but instead of running away or fighting with the old woman, he continued to pretend to be his blind tuner, hoping to use his acting skills to fool the old woman People think that they have not seen anything, so they let themselves go and let themselves get away safely.

The old woman asked the protagonist to take off the dirty clothes, and she replaced her with her husband's clothes. Since the protagonist has been pretending to be blind, he cannot refuse the old woman's request. She quickly took off herself to only a pair of shorts. During this time, the old lady carefully observed his reaction opposite the protagonist. She also excused that his sunglasses were dirty, so she took off his sunglasses and observed carefully. The main character wears gray contact lenses on his eyes in order to pretend to be blind.

After some observation, the old woman took the protagonist's clothes and left. The protagonist forced himself to be calm and carried out his own tuning and audition work, and at the same time prayed that the old woman would not dig through his pockets and see his A daily record book that the blind cannot use.

After tuning the sound, the protagonist played the piano calmly on the outside and nervously on the inside to test the sound. At the same time, he secretly wondered that the old woman who went to get him clothes hadn't come back for a long time, but at this time, the old woman was already holding a nail. The gun quietly stood behind him and pointed the muzzle at the back of his head

The choice of such a short film is due to the fact that Xiao Yao himself learned the piano from a young age, and has a good understanding of the piano, and has also participated in piano competitions. Voyeurism also had a personal feeling. Of course, the most important thing is that the concept of this short film is very delicate, and the plot is extremely full of tension. In the previous life, it was an excellent short film that has a high reputation both at home and abroad and has won awards.

The total duration of this short film is only about thirteen minutes. Xiao Yao does not intend to make any changes in the plot, but only makes some modifications with Chinese characteristics in terms of scene layout and some details. After all, the original version of the previous life was a French film, and it was impossible for him to make the film exactly the same in Yanjing. Of course, he didn't intend to make the film exactly like the original. After all, in this world, this short film is his work.

Xiao Yao chose to write, direct and act in this short film. The script was modified from the original version of the previous life. Xiao Yao also planned to play the pianist of the protagonist by himself. In the selection of other actors, Xiao Yao began to fully use his own resources. A 13-minute short film, in addition to the well-deserved protagonist of the pianist, there are not many other characters appearing in the film, and the few are actually not too few.

Among them, the tuner had a long conversation with the owner of the piano shop in the coffee shop, so the boss' role is not small. Xiao Yao directly asked Lin Qisan's father, Lin Shaohua, to play this role. As for the male protagonist in the murder scene in the final stage, that is, the corpse covered in blood sitting on the sand, Xiao Yao directly asked his grandfather Xiao Chengru to play the role, and the most important supporting role, the old woman who committed the murder People, through Xiao Chengru's relationship, Xiao Yao found Tian Fangzhen, the old drama Gu Tian Fangzhen who presented the award to Xiao Yao together at the Feitian Award and Xiao Chengru.

In addition, it is the role of the protagonist who spies on several clients in the process of playing the blind. For the role of the young dancer who dances at home wearing only underwear, Xiao Yao approached Cheng Xi. Xiao Yao newly designed a fitness trainer who has a transvestite and wears women's clothing at home. Xiao Yao approached Huang Shi, who had worked with him in "Ling Yun Zhi". It is also a newly designed female star who is glamorous outside, but her home is as messy as a doghouse and pigsty. Xiao Yao asked Su Chengying to act. As for the waiter who flashed by in the coffee shop, Xiao Yao invited Chen Wanting, a photographer from the parkour team, and the old woman who was deliberately molested by Xiao Yao while waiting for the traffic lights on the road was changed by Xiao Yao to a Xiao Yao's mother, Ye Jiaying, took care of the pregnant woman with her big belly.

In this short film, apart from the leading actor played by Xiao Yao himself, there are not many other roles. If it goes well, everyone’s shooting time will not exceed one day, so although some of these people have jobs However, it is not a big problem to spare a day for Xiao Yao during the entire August schedule.

Such a cast can gather outstanding actors of all ages, old, middle-aged and young, which can definitely be called luxurious. And for such a luxurious lineup, the sum of the performance salary alone is a terrifying figure. Fortunately, this short film made by Xiao Yao cannot be shown in theaters, and there is no plan to charge for on-demand broadcasting on the Internet after it is filmed. It can be regarded as an experimental independent short film, and there will be no commercial profit. These people are all relatively close to Xiao Yao or to Xiao Yao's relatives. Xiao Yao invites friendship to perform entirely through his personal relationship, and the shooting time is only one day, so all of them are paid for nothing. free appearances, so their worth is not involved.

On the part of the actors, it was settled through a good network. In terms of crew members, Xiao Yao, who has much poorer network resources, had to spend money and sincerity to hire them one by one. On the one hand, Xiao Yao has to choose the candidate he likes, and on the other hand, he has to take care of Xiao Yao, a rookie director who has only made a few Vs and is too young. In addition, he has to take care of those people This is why Xiao Yao has planned to shoot short films during the summer vacation since the Chinese New Year, and he couldn't officially start until August. Fortunately, after several months of preparation and communication, Xiao Yao still completed the set up of the crew.

In addition to personnel, the other is the scene and props. There are not many scenes involved in the short film, just a theater, a coffee shop, a few apartments, a pedestrian crosswalk at a traffic light intersection with voice prompts, and a few limited scenes, and these scenes and the props involved are nothing special The requirements are not hard to find. Xiao Yao didn't pay much attention to this part, it was nothing more than renting it with money.

Although the actors involved in the short film are well-known, Xiao Yao's first independent short film in the form of self-writing, directing and acting is also enough to attract attention. But Xiao Yao did not disclose the news of his short film to the media public. After all aspects of the work were ready and the personnel were in place, Xiao Yao's crew quietly started up.
