The Tuner was a movie from his previous life.
However, it must be said that A'san's side was not original either.
This was because Ah San's movie was adapted from a French short film.
Yes, a French microfilm that was only 13 minutes long but had won numerous awards and scored 9.2.
In other words…
There was a short film called "The Tuner" in France, and Ah San adapted it into a long film.
When it came to Gu Xianchen, he still had to make a third adaptation. After all, the backgrounds of the two were different.
Gu Xianchen did not mind.
He had already become very familiar with changing the background when he was working on Sherlock Holmes. He had already adapted the script before the casting began.
As for whether this movie could make a profit? Gu Xianchen was not too worried.
Although 'The Tuner' was not a commercial blockbuster, it was more focused on plot logic and could not get too high a box office.
However, in his previous life, he had earned 320 million yuan at the box office in China alone, and his score was 8.3.
Now that the Fire Country's market was bigger than in his previous life, the box office sales would only be higher than that.
At that time, excluding the cinema chains and the distribution company, Gu Xianchen, as the investor and producer, would at least get more than 100 million yuan, even if it was calculated based on the box office in his previous life.
The name of the movie could also be changed.
Other than the fact that the main character of the movie was a pianist, the other parts of the movie did not seem to have anything to do with the title " Tuner."
Although the original movie was indeed called " The Tuner ", and the main character of the French original movie was indeed a tuner.
However, in fact, the protagonist of Ah San's plot was a pianist, so the name of the movie might as well be called The Pianist.
Moreover, Gu Xianchen planned to include his " Nocturne " series in this movie. It would be more suitable to change it to " The Pianist."
In addition, A'san's translation of the movie's title was " Blind Melody " or " Invisible Melody."
The director even considered a name like " Kill That Pianist."
All in all.
No matter what movie name was used, it would not change the core conflict of this movie.
The Pianist revolved around a core conflict:
A pianist who pretended to be blind, the male lead of the movie, entered a celebrity's house and played the piano for the celebrity.
In the end, he witnessed a murder.
Because he was pretending to be blind, the murderer temporarily let the male lead go.
After the male lead left, he immediately went to the police station to report the case.
In the end, before the case could be reported successfully, the male lead discovered in horror-
This constable from the police station was actually the murderer that he had just seen?
The plot suddenly became tense.
The male lead, who had been pretending to be blind for a long time, had actually witnessed a murder…
Just thinking about it was a little exciting.
Gu Xianchen needed to confirm five roles now: the male lead, the male lead's lover, the female lead, the murderer, the black market doctor, and a taxi couple.
They were all characters who appeared in the final core conflict. Gu Xianchen had already told Du Kang about the casting requirements for the other supporting roles, and they were happy to help.
Du Kang even wanted to suggest to Gu Xianchen whether he should change his major to the directing department. Gu Xianchen definitely did not express his opinion directly on this and said that he would wait until the movie was released.
The male lead would be played by Gu Xianchen himself, and the female lead would be given to Zhao Lingmai. As for the male lead's lover, it would be given to Sister Zhang Zifeng.
Therefore, he still needed to find three men and one woman.
The audition had begun. At this moment, a long line had already formed in the audition hall that was temporarily made up of the living room. Most of them were students from the drama academy's performance department.
However, they were all not famous.
In the audition room that had been temporarily converted from the dining room, Gu Xianchen, Zhao Lingmai, and Zhang Zifeng sat together.
Chen Xue walked in uneasily. After taking a deep breath to calm herself down, she bowed and said,"Hello, teachers. My name is Chen Xue…"
She was a fan of Zhao Lingmai and Zhang Zifeng's older sister. She had also become a fan of Gu Xianchen because of Madrid Inconceivable.
Therefore, when he saw the recruitment notice on the school forum, he ran over without thinking.
She kept a very low profile and didn't act casually just because it was her junior sitting there.
The people who entered in front were similar.
Chen Xue was quite pretty. Gu Xianchen smiled and said,""Please perform the second part of the script.”
"Alright."
Chen Xue began her performance.
The audition was actually quite systematic. The actors who came in basically introduced themselves briefly.
He asked the audition teacher to examine his image, read a line, and then act out a scene from the script according to the interviewer's requirements.
There was no problem with the performance.
As a student of the Drama Academy, Chen Xue's professional ability was completely passable.
"Alright, you've been accepted. Go back and pack your things. We'll set off for Hengdian tomorrow.”
Gu Xianchen wanted to finish filming the movie in 20 days and release it in May. That way, he could use the piano piece to hit the new song chart in May.
Therefore, he naturally couldn't waste too much time on the selection. As long as the business ability passed, he would directly confirm it.
