Itâs interesting thatâ¦
At this moment in the cinema, many people are unanimously holding their breaths, indicating that everyoneâs hearts are in a state of utmost tension in front of this overwhelming flood of plot twists.
Jiang Yan is definitely dead!
Thatâs what everyone thinks.
But after Zhang Bin relaxes, he suddenly feels an inexplicable sense of anxiety again:
Could it beâ¦
Another plot twist?
If it were any other movie, Zhang Bin wouldnât entertain this suspicion, but the movie âThe Tunerâ is too damned insane, taking plot twists to the absolute extreme!
Thrilling!
Shocking!
No one can guarantee that the next shot wonât reveal another unexpected plot twist!
The subsequent plot seems to suggest that Zhang Binâs speculations are excessive.
Ye Shen and the doctor drive, ferrying the unconscious Jiang Yan, to hand her over to the black market tycoonâ¦
The scene transitions.
Itâs two years later now.
In Qin land.
Inside a music hall.
Ye Shen, donning sunglasses, passionately plays a piece on the piano, the same piece he played in Su Taiâs living room before he diedâ¦
The plot was so tense before that no one really had a chance to fully appreciate it.
This time, as the plot reaches its conclusion, everyone is finally able to relax.
Delicate musical notes are flowing.
The audience at the music hall immersed themselves in the musical enjoyment.
Dai Rui also closes his eyes slightly, savouring the beauty of this piece.
After this exhilarating movie-viewing experience, listening to this piece seems to soothe oneâs body and mind.
âI admitâ¦â
Dai Rui softly stated.
Zhang Bin, who was listening to the music, responded, puzzled: âWhat?â
âI admit⦠Xian Yu has given the best response. Iâm speechless in front of this piece,â Dai Rui said.
Zhang Bin was taken aback, then chuckled lightly: âI almost forgot about that.â
Yeah.
How many people in the cinema still remember the real reason they came to watch this film?
Dai Rui sighed: âThe music is great, the movie⦠is also amazing!â
A perfect integration!
Complementing each other perfectly!
And the movie has not completely ended here.
After the music finishes, many audience members take the initiative to shake hands with Ye Shen, and some even ask for his autograph.
Ye Shen moves about by feel.
âHis eyes havenât recovered?â
âIt seems Ye Shen didnât end up killing her after all.â
Jiang Yanâs cornea could have rescued Ye Shenâs sight, but the fact that he still canât see suggests that he ultimately didnât kill Jiang Yanâ¦
The audience doesnât know whether Ye Shen has achieved his dream of performing in the Golden Hall.
But thereâs no doubt that he has already become an exceptional pianist.
Just then.
Ye Shenâs ex-girlfriend, Sofi, unexpectedly shows up in the music hall, where she runs into Ye Shen.
âSofi?â
Even though he canât see, Ye Shen identifies her by the slight touch of their handshake and the sustained silence from the person in front of him.
âYouâve been tricking people here too?â
Sofi scoffs, staring at Ye Shen.
She doesnât know about everything Ye Shenâs been through.
Ye Shen gives a wry smile: âItâs a long story⦠What kind of tea would you like?â
Sofi said coldly: âCoffee.â
This does relate to the narration at the beginning of the film.
The film transitions to a new scene.
Sofi and Ye Shen are sitting outside, drinking coffee.
Then, Ye Shen begins to recount the events that happened after they broke upâ¦
âAnd then?â
Sofiâs expression is somewhat shocked; she canât imagine the twists and turns that Ye Shen experienced afterwards. At this moment, her eyes well up with tears.
âAnd thenâ¦â
Ye Shenâs voice sounds somewhat ethereal.
The scene flashes back to the car two years ago.
Ye Shen sits in the car, persuading the black market doctor to let Jiang Yan go.
The doctor sneers: âConsidering her crimes, the court would surely sentence her to death anyway, weâre not killing her, just making use of the waste. A death row prisoner can be exchanged for a large reward, ensuring a carefree future for both of us. The most crucial thing is, you need her corneaâ¦â
Noises come from the back of the car at this point.
The doctor stops the car, pulls out a syringe, intending to keep Jiang Yan unconscious.
Moments later.
The car is again on the move.
But the audience, who had completely relaxed at this point, experiences a jolt to their hearts. Some even cover their mouths, their eyes filled with shock at whatâs happening on screen next!
The doctor got killed by Jiang Yan!
Covered in the doctorâs blood, Jiang Yan gets back in the car and casually continues driving.
Man, this woman is truly awesome!
And truly ruthless, like a venomous scorpion!
Ye Shen, who is blind, is completely unaware and continues to plead:
âDoctor, I beg you, if you kill her to cure my blindness, I will never be able to play the piano again. What I said was just to scare her. Why do we have to take her kidney away? Please, stop the car on the roadside. Let us goâ¦â
Driving the car, Jiang Yan wiped away her tears.
Suddenly she hit the brakes, coldly saying, âGet out!â
Perhaps Ye Shenâs pleading moved Jiang Yan.
She surprisingly spared Ye Shen!
Ye Shen was stunnedâ¦
He didnât expect Jiang Yan to be by his side.
Whereâs the doctor?
Jiang Yan roared angrily, âGet out!â
She forcefully pushed Ye Shen out of the car.
Helpless, Ye Shen got out of the car and stood blankly in place.
Jiang Yanâs tears flowed freely.
âThis is no redemption⦠damn it!â
Just when the audience started to feel moved that Jiang Yan let Ye Shen go, she turned the car around!
She was still intending to kill Ye Shen!
Dai Rui stuttered, âBin, this woman is terrifying!â
Bin remained silent.
The protagonist didnât die after all.
But why?
The answer was revealed in the following scene.
Mainly focusing on Hunterâs view, a rabbit suddenly sprang out.
The rabbit was struck by the car and caused Jiang Yanâs vehicle to flip over, creating a loud bang.
An explosion!
âThe rabbit!â
âA rabbit?â
Only then did the audience remember the premonition at the beginning of the movie.
When the rabbit was stealing food and was shot by the owner of Yuan Ziâs gardenâ¦
This was foreshadowing that was hinted at from the beginning!
The audience had almost forgotten!
However, this foreshadowing had played its role at the end!
The rabbit surprisingly escaped and ran into another closeup shot.
Something seemed wrong with the rabbitâs gazeâ¦
At this moment, the audience was rendered speechless with shock!
The entire cinema was filled with gasps of surprise!
Plot twist after plot twist, infinite twists!
The final twist, it was as if someone had torn through the silence of the sky!
When the audience recovered, the flashback had ended, returning to the scene at the entrance of the coffee shop.
âSir, is this your order?â
âYes, it is.â
In the custom shop next to the coffee shop, the waiter brought a cane with a rabbit-shaped handle.
âYou did nothing wrongâ¦â
Sofi said earnestly to Ye Shen.
Ye Shen bitter smile and shook his head. After a moment of silence, he spoke:
âThank you. Would you like to come and listen to my performance at the Golden Hall?â
Ye Shen had finally realized his dream.
Sofi hesitated and coughed. âI might not have the time⦠I will try to be thereâ¦â
The two bid each other goodbye.
Although the film had infinite twists, almost exceeding viewersâ imagination, the ending was particularly satisfying!
âAwesome!â
Dai Rui exclaimed.
Zhang Bin wanted to agree, but had a strange look on his face. âI feel like something is wrongâ¦â
âWhat?â
Dai Rui furrowed his brows.
Then, the movie unfolded its final scene.
It was a lonely night. Ye Shen, leaning on his cane, was walking alone in the cold night. His shadow looked rather lonely.
In front of him was an empty can.
Ye Shen didnât stop his walk. And just when he was about to step on the can, he swiftly swung his cane, hitting the can away as precisely as a professional golferâ¦
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three thunderous explosions echoed and the big screen displayed three words that seemed to pierce everyoneâs heart:
The! Piano! Tuner!
Underneath these three words was a parenthesis: Also known as the âPianistâ.
Zhang Bin finally realized where he felt something was wrong.
If the male protagonist was blind, he definitely wouldnât know that a rabbit saved himâ¦
âFuck!â
Dai Ruiâs body jolted. âYe Shen was lying!! Heâs still pretending to be blind!!!â
At this moment!
The entire cinema erupted in gasps of shock. Audiences sat dumbfounded with their mouths agape, their faces showing the same stunned expressions.
Everyone, was stunned!
ââââââââ
ps: Iâve been trying to speed up the narrative as much as possible. If I skip the movie plot, it would affect the subsequent narrative progression. In an entertainment novel, itâs almost impossible to skip such a part. Also, I threw in todayâs extra chapter as well, not publishing it separately to avoid complaints about disrupting the flow of the story.
