——"The Invisible Melody", also known as "The Tuner".
The film tells the story of a talented pianist who has been studying piano for 15 years, but he fails in the coveted Bernstein Piano Competition and his life falls to the bottom.
After a period of adjustment, the male protagonist regained his confidence and became a blind pianist.
In fact, he just wears contact lenses, which makes others think that his hearing is more acute, and thus gain more sympathy and consumption, and even allow him to peek into other people's lives and privacy.
For example, when a beautiful female customer invited him to perform at her home, she would even take off her clothes in front of him.
To be honest, Su Bai was a little envious of this job. He would also like to try it if he had the chance. This kind of real and self-deceptive scene would not be exposed.
While playing in a restaurant, the male protagonist was noticed by a man and was invited to attend his wedding anniversary.
But the accident happened, and he witnessed with his own eyes the man's wife and lover killing him together.
This time it’s really exciting!
If the male protagonist hadn't been so calm, I would have been scared to death.
The cool thing about this short is that it has an open ending.
At the beginning, the male protagonist is sitting there playing the piano, and behind him stands the woman who has killed her husband, holding the murder weapon, a nail gun.
Then there's a sound similar to a nail gun firing, and the short film begins.
The ending of the short film echoes the beginning, with the male protagonist still playing the piano, and the sound of the piano continues until the end of the movie.
The version adapted by Asan actually added a lot of plot points, including a female protagonist and a plot where the male protagonist almost had his kidneys dug out, but Su Bai abandoned them all here.
He mainly chose the original short film version and made some modifications and additions to the characters to ensure that all six people had roles.
The brilliance of this short film also inspired Su Bai, who kept editing and revising it until 2 a.m. before falling into a deep sleep.
...
"The script isn't long. Have you all finished reading it?"
Su Bai took a sip of the American coffee in his hand. It was really bitter, but refreshing...
"Director Su, did you write this last night?"
Ren Qi looked at Su Bai in shock and asked.
Su Bai nodded very calmly, "Of course!"
I am not lying at all. I did write it last night, but the content was copied.
"Director Su, you are so talented!"
"Director Su, I admire you more and more! This book is amazing!"
"I think you can expand this story into a full-length movie later!"
Su Bai put down his coffee cup and asked, "Does that mean you all think the script is feasible?"
"certainly!"
“That’s great!”
"Okay, then let's discuss the roles. Our team is quite democratic, so I won't have the final say on casting. I'll just offer suggestions."
"Who will play the male lead and who will play the lover, Sun Yang or Rui Lin?"
The two young men looked at each other for a long moment, and then Liu Ruilin said first, "Director Su, let me challenge the lover."
Su Bai nodded, "I also think this is more appropriate."
Then he looked at the four women, "Your roles include the murderous wife, the male protagonist's friend and agent, a fangirl client who has a crush on the male protagonist, and a customer who strips down to her underwear and dances in front of the male protagonist."
Hu Xiner slammed the table and said, "I want to kill someone!"
Swish!
Everyone looked at her in horror.
Hu Xiner quickly waved her hands and said, "I mean I want to play the wife who kills people."
Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief: "Next time, please tell me everything you want to say. It's scary."
Wang Zhi: "Let me be your agent."
Ren Qi: "My little fangirl!"
Huang Mengying: ...
Then I take it off?
Su Bai was personally very satisfied with this choice, which was consistent with his preconceived ideas.
Then he said to Huang Mengying: "It's not like you're stripping off, it's just like wearing a swimsuit. And later when we film you dancing in your underwear, the camera will blur the image a little bit."
This part of the plot is a funny and explosive point, but if the actor doesn't want to, Su Bai can change it.
Huang Mengying bit her lip and glanced at Su Bai.
"Be conservative with your underwear!"
To be honest, Huang Mengying does have the best figure among these women. Su Bai was very envious of her when she wore a cheongsam last time.
Now that he has been cast in this role, Su Bai is very happy.
"First Chuu Lifting the Ban"
Hey hey hey...
The filming process was not particularly smooth. Compared to Su Bai's previous works "Joy of Life" and "Dying to Survive", there is indeed a gap between these actors and the actors he had found before.
Sun Yang was trained alone with Su Bai for an hour before his "blind" status was finally recognized by Su Bai.
Director Su's attention to detail also made these actors secretly admire him. For example, when Sun Yang was playing a blind person, Su Bai taught him that blind people should rely on their ears.
This will make him subconsciously turn his face towards the person who is speaking, and unlike people with normal eyes, his ears will also face the direction of the speaker.
