Kitagawa Umi, who was standing in the back row of the crowd, looked bewildered. She never expected that this powerful young man would call her. At the same time, all eyes were on her, especially Sakurajima Mai. "That's all for today. Thank you all for your hard work." Ping Qingshan's voice was calm and no one knew what he was thinking. "Supervisor, thank you for your hard work." Everyone bowed, and today's event ended. Ping Qingshan returned to the office and checked the shooting schedule for tomorrow. The plot of Battle Royale is linear. In order to save costs to the greatest extent possible, not all actors are present throughout the entire shooting plan. These two days we will focus on shooting the scenes that require everyone to be present. The crew is like a bus, those who have a role to play come and leave after the filming is done. But exactly when and what to shoot is still under Ping Qingshan's consideration. About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Ping Qingshan put the shooting schedule aside. "Hello, Supervisor." The door was gently pushed open, and in walked the cautious Kitagawa Umi. "You're here? Wait a moment, I'll make a call. You sit down first, there are snacks on the sofa." Ping Qingshan looked up and gave some instructions, then lowered his head to deal with the matter. Kitagawa Umi had no choice but to sit on the sofa, and she was careful to sit only half of her body. Chapter 55 I Can Kitagawa Umi felt that the atmosphere in the office today was completely different from the last time when she helped Hirakiyosugi put on makeup. Putting on makeup is her job, and when she is putting on makeup, Ping Qingshan acts very familiar and can talk about anything, so people subconsciously forget the other person's identity. But now, Ping Qingshan sat down in the office. The momentum is completely different. She swore that these few minutes took much longer than the more than an hour she spent helping Ping Qingshan put on makeup. After Ping Qingshan finished a phone call, he finally put down what he was doing, walked to the tea table, and looked at Kitagawa Umi carefully. "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you a question." To be honest, Kitagawa Umi is quite good-looking. In addition to the girl's good foundation, what's more important is that she knows how to put on makeup. Delicate facial features, fair skin, and a little bit of peachy temperament. This kind of peach blossom temperament does not refer to a person's personality, but makes people feel that the girl has an inner charm at first sight. In other words, it is the feeling that the other person likes you at first sight. It’s hard to describe, but this kind of temperament is actually very appealing as an actor. The audience buys into this. Kitagawa Umien glanced at Ping Qingshan and happened to see Ping Qingshan's gaze coming over. Seeing Ping Qingshan's gaze sweeping over, Kitagawa Umien immediately lowered her head.

When she was putting on makeup before, she was aggressive, but when the opportunity really came, she became timid again and did not dare to look the young supervisor in the eye. "Before, when you were putting on makeup, you told me that you had taken acting classes and performed in COS dramas, but you had never been in the entertainment industry before. Why did you want to enter the entertainment industry?" Ping Qingshan asked casually while making tea. Kitagawa Umi instinctively wanted to say something like "for her dream", but she quickly realized that it might be difficult to hide the lie from the person in front of her. In fact, Kitagawa Umi also interviewed some crews and encountered this problem. Generally speaking, Kitagawa Umi's answers are something like dreams and love for the stage. But when facing Ping Qingshan, she couldn't say these words. "Because I think I can." The girl finally decided to tell the truth. "You can?" Ping Qingshan was also surprised to hear this answer. "Yes, I think I am not bad in all aspects. Although I have not received formal training, I really like the feeling of performing COS dramas and the feeling of standing on the stage." Kitagawa Umi's emotions are simple. She was obsessed with COS when she was in high school. She liked COS and also liked the feeling of being the center of attention after playing a COS character. Afterwards, he participated in COS dramas and has always been the core of that circle. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a star in a small circle. But after graduating from university and leaving campus society, all her friends in the COS circle entered society, and she gradually became an "ordinary person" Later, by chance, I entered the film and television industry, although it was just makeup. But she watched those actors go up and down every day. It's inevitable to feel unwilling. Ping Qingshan nodded. He actually didn't care what the girl was doing. I just think that the girl is pretty, and as I said before, there are not many scenes of Kawata Shogo's dead girlfriend. There is only one standard: it has to be beautiful enough. Acting comes second. "I'm going to give you a chance." Ping Qingshan smiled and handed the tea to the girl: "Try it, this tea is delicious." Ping Qingshan also took a sip of tea, which tasted light and fragrant. When he was young in his previous life, Ping Qingshan didn’t like the bitter taste of tea, but over time, he gradually came to like the hint of fragrance after the bitterness. Kitagawa Umi took the tea and glanced at Ping Qingshan with surprise with her beautiful eyes. Ping Qingshan didn't keep the secret any longer. "Shinjo Rize is gone. You should be aware of this. Nakamura originally wanted to hold an audition to select a replacement actor, but I want you to try first."

As Hirakiyosugi spoke, he handed a script to Kitagawa Umi. "If you're going to get into the entertainment industry, you might as well give it a try." "Huh?! Really?" Kitagawa Umi. "It's just an opportunity. Come early tomorrow and audition directly." ~~~ The next morning. Kitagawa Umi firmly grasped the opportunity of playing the role of Ping Qingshan. During the audition, although her acting skills were still a bit exaggerated, she looked very good after putting on makeup. Gained recognition from the creative team. Kitagawa was also secretly delighted, and at the same time became more grateful to Ping Qingshan. You know, although this character only appears in a few shots, she is nominally the heroine. Debuting as a female lead will undoubtedly lay an excellent foundation if she wants to develop in the film industry in the future. At the same time, the entire Battle Royale crew finally got back on track after a little chaos yesterday. A few days passed in a flash. "Cut!" Ping Qingshan sat in front of the monitor, watched the footage again, and then said. "This one doesn't work, try another one." At the command, the staff quickly began to reset the props, and the two actors also stood where they were, waiting for Ping Qingshan to tell them the story. Da Ze, who was standing next to him, also watched the footage but didn't find any problems. The image in this shot is very simple. It tells a scene earlier in the plot, when Nanahara Aki also got the package and came out of the classroom, found a piece of grass, and planned to wait for Nakagawa to come out to discuss it together. During this process, Nanahara Aki also met Mayumi Tencho, who had been pierced through the throat by a sword. Neither of them has many lines. Mayumi Tencho touched the arrow on her neck and asked helplessly what she should do and what was going on. Then she fell to the ground bleeding. The actress who plays Mayumi Tendou is Rena Matsui from AKB. The girl has great stage presence and talent, and she obviously put a lot of heart into playing the role. I guess she must have thought about it a lot at home. Even though there are only a few lines. But it showed the absurd feeling of being at a loss. Moreover, when Matsui Rena wears the school uniform, she has an inexplicable feeling of a pure young lady, coupled with the arrow and blood on her neck.

Very contrasting. The final effect is actually very good. However, at this time, after Ping Qingshan shouted CUT, Matsui Rena still stood up and walked to Pingbashishan in a dejected manner with the actor who played Nanahara. In the past, if there were problems with their acting, Hira Kiyosan would explain the scenes to them after the cut and then shoot, so now, as soon as the cut happens, Matsui Rena subconsciously walks towards Hira Kiyosan. He glanced at Rena Matsui who had an arrow stuck in her neck. Ping Qingshan subconsciously wanted to laugh, but then he felt it was not good and held it back. Chapter 56: Let’s watch the sunset together? Seeing Matsui Rena standing in front of him with a silly look on her face, waiting for him to talk about the scene, Ping Qingshan waved his hand. "It has nothing to do with your acting skills. Take a break. Daze, come here." This has been almost the case these days. Ping Qingshan will start shooting according to the storyboard that the two had agreed on before. After shooting, look at the results. Sometimes I'll go straight through it, and sometimes I'll stop like this, either to explain the scene to the actors or if I have questions about the storyboards. In the latter case, Ping Qingshan will let Da Ze Mingguang take a look at it. Ask him if he has any questions. In most cases, there seems to be no problem with the Da Ze Ming Guang at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you will find that there seems to be some vague problem. It's the same this time. After a quick look, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this shot. “This shot is a bit dull.” Ping Qingshan put the shirt down and pointed to a place. "Where, put a set of shots. Let's cut this storyboard into two shots. It might be better." "The camera is the audience's eyes. Human eyes don't like static things. Our shot is too long and doesn't contain any information. It's just a pure shot." "If there are too many shots like this, the audience will start to get bored, so keep the camera moving or add something fresh and exciting to the picture." When Ping Qingshan talked about these things, the entire filming site became very quiet. Not only Dai Ze Mingguang, but everyone else was listening attentively. This is true even for actors. Although they cannot use these things after listening to them, knowing them will be very helpful for them to understand the director's intentions. Ping Qingshan didn't care about these things. After all, he only told them once, and it was up to them how much they could understand. After Ping Qingshan finished explaining.

The new camera was also set up, and we shot it again according to the new logic. Although it was the same footage, it felt a lot smoother. "Teacher Shan is getting better and better. He can grasp even these small details." Da Ze Ming Guang sighed as he wrote down everything he had just heard in his notebook.
