This horn was specially commissioned by Ping Qingshan to be brought from China. It's that big round white speaker. In his previous life, he was the one who followed the instructions of the horn, but now, it was finally his turn to pick up the horn. "Everyone, get ready ten minutes before filming begins." This sentence should actually be shouted by the assistant director, but now, Ping Qingshan didn't care about it anymore. He was actually a little nervous. Everyone moved at this command. The leading actors, supporting actors, and extras all took their respective positions. After shouting, Ping Qingshan looked up at the sky, and then all he had to do was wait. A few minutes later, the sky changed on time. The sun is about to rise, but the light overflowing from the horizon has begun to slowly illuminate the entire world.
Friends who have seen the sunrise must have seen this beautiful light, which is an extremely dreamy and charming light. Everyone became nervous. Miyamori Aoi held up the light meter and kept reporting the parameters. The uncle carrying the long recording pole raised the long recording pole above the actor's head, trying to get as close as possible to collect the sound, but keeping far enough away to avoid being captured by the camera. “The light is perfect!” the director of photography exclaimed. Ping Qingshan took a deep breath, sat in the director's chair, and looked at the surveillance screen. Under the clear sunlight, the whole school was bathed in sunshine. Everything seemed so perfect. He shouted into the loud speaker the words he had prepared for a long time: "Action!" Chapter 44: Testing The morning shoot went smoothly. It went so smoothly that everyone found it a little unbelievable. The magic moment shots were mostly shot in one go, and for the next few hours, Hirakiyosugi focused on AKB's individual promos and the actors' character personal stories. Most of these short stories will not appear in the main film. In fact, they should be considered as a kind of tidbits. Their main purpose is to allow these new actors to quickly get into the state. These short stories were easy to shoot because they would not be included in the main film. The entire crew completed the morning shooting half an hour ahead of schedule. After Mai Sakurajima finished filming her scenes, she followed the other actors into the lounge. It is called a lounge, but it is actually an empty classroom. There were some tables and chairs inside so that the actors could take a break. As soon as I sat down, a staff member brought me lunch. Mai Sakurajima picked up one at random and found an empty seat to sit down.
"Is there anyone sitting here?" The person who spoke was a cute girl in a long black dress. "No." Although it was unclear why the girl chose to sit next to her instead of sitting in the empty seats in the room, Sakurajima Mai did not refuse. "My name is Kasumigaoka Utaha, and I'm currently an editor on the crew. What about you? Are you an actor? What role do you play?" Kasumigaoka Utaha sat down while holding up her skirt, pretending to be very curious, and at the same time carefully observing Sakurajima Mai, her big black eyes constantly moving. Kasumigaoka Utaha has been paying attention to the name Sakurajima Mai for a long time. It all started when Ping Qingshan received a phone call while she was working on a manuscript at her home. Normally, Ping Qingshan always answered the phone in front of her, but that time, after Ping Qingshan took a look at the caller's name, he stood up and walked to the balcony to answer the call. At that time, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt something was wrong, so she memorized the caller's name. Afterwards, she asked around. I found out that Mai Sakurajima is an actor in the crew. It stands to reason that communication between the director and the actor is within the normal range, but she, who has always been sharp and intelligent, always felt that something was wrong with Ping Qingshan. So after the filming started, she came to the crew under the name of screenwriter, wanting to see it in person. After seeing this, the uneasy feeling in Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart became even stronger. At this time, Sakurajima Mai was wearing the school uniform from the play. Unlike the original movie, Ping Qingshan's version of the school uniform looks better than the original. The skirt is also a little short, and the white beautiful legs are dazzling. In addition, Mai Sakurajima tied her hair into a ponytail, which made her look more refreshing and lovely. This is the type that Ping Qingshan likes. Although Mai Sakurajima was a little confused about the sudden appearance of Kasumigaoka Utaha, she still answered with a smile. "My name is Mai Sakurajima, and I play the role of Takako Chigusa." ~~~ Ping Qingshan has always had a question, which is how to measure the friendship between girls. Like right now. It was clearly the first time that the two met, but they quickly became familiar with each other. Like good friends for many years. "Would you like to eat this? I brought some from home, called luncheon meat, and this White Rabbit milk candy, both are delicious."
As Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke, she took out a box of chopped luncheon meat from her pocket, opened it, picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in Sakurajima Mai's lunch box with a very friendly attitude. After picking it up, Kasumigaoka Utaha quietly stared at Sakurajima Mai. Luncheon meat and White Rabbit milk candy are Ping Qingshan’s favorite foods. Ping Qingshan once told her that luncheon meat carries the memories of his school life. Although Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't know why luncheon meat was linked to returning to school, it didn't stop the girl from using it to test the other party. Mai Sakurajima didn't know what was going on. She thanked him and took it, looking at the cut surface of the meat with some curiosity. "What is this? Sausage?" Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes and felt that Sakurajima Mai didn't seem to be pretending, and she felt relieved instantly. "It's not a sausage, but it's almost the same. It's made from pork and chicken, with a certain amount of starch and spices added." Mai Sakurajima took a sip and found the taste not delicious, but not bad either. If you taste it carefully, it has a salty and fragrant taste, and is suitable for eating with rice. "You like this... um, luncheon meat?" "It's okay. I ate it often in the past two years, but now I don't eat it much." As Kasumigaoka Utaha answered, she wanted to talk further on this topic, but a roar in the corridor and the sound of a cup breaking interrupted her thoughts. "what happened?" Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the lounge. "It seems that Producer Nakamura received a phone call and got angry. He just smashed the cups. I don't know who made him so angry." Someone in the lounge soon brought the news. Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned slightly. She had often discussed the script with Hira Kiyoshi during this period, so she naturally knew what position Nakamura Sakami held in the crew. There weren't many things that could make him angry. Could it be that something went wrong with the crew? ~~~ The Battle Royale director's office. After seeing Ping Qingshan, Nakamura Shuue was still angry, but he obviously felt guilty in his anger. He continued to speak while looking at Ping Qingshan. "Gao Cang tore up the contract as soon as he saw it. He won't come today. Damn it, how dare he!" Da Ze Ming Guang, who was standing next to him, also looked furious. "How could he do this? He was going to start filming his scenes this afternoon, and now he calls and says he's quitting! Is there any justice in the world?" Even Miyamori Aoi, who was standing nearby, didn't say anything, but her face was filled with anger. The reason why they are so angry.
Willingness is simple. Kazumi Takakura, who plays the role of Mr. Kitano, has just officially called the crew and said that he can no longer report to the crew due to personal reasons. According to the shooting plan, the scene of Kazumi Takakura will be filmed this afternoon. Because Gao Cang Yijian was considered a big name in the film industry, and he did not have any scenes in the morning, Ping Qingshan specifically instructed the crew to ask Gao Cang Yijian to come in the afternoon when sending out the itinerary, so that he would not have to wait for the crew in the morning. But I never thought it would turn out like this in the end. "Okay, calm down for a minute and let me think about it." Ping Qingshan was sitting on the sofa with a half-eaten lunch box in front of him. When he first heard the news from Nakamura's wine, he thought it was a joke. After all, no matter which country it was, it would be a rare opportunity to break an appointment at the last minute. Very rare. Ping Qingshan had seen many celebrities who acted like big shots in his previous life. But no matter how big a brand is, it is nothing more than being late, but I have never heard of anyone simply quitting their job. If it was just a minor role, it would be fine, but although Mr. Kitano's role doesn't have many lines, he is an important character throughout the entire movie. Chapter 45 I’m coming More importantly, in Ping Qingshan's shooting plan. The interaction between Mr. Kitano and his students, as well as the scene where he explains the rules of the battle royale in front of the whole class, were filmed at the very beginning. There are two reasons for this arrangement. On the one hand, this part of the plot was shot right before the other part, making it easier for the actors to find the feeling. Secondly, he also wanted to use the strength of veteran actor Gao Cang Yijian to guide these young people. But now, all these clever ideas were killed with one blow. Gao Cang saw that if he gave up, it would not only affect today's performance, but also the performances of the next few days, or even more than ten days. What is wasted during this period is not only time, but also a large amount of budget. The crew has to find new actors, audition, sign contracts, and all the previous preparations for shooting have to be redone. The shooting schedules of existing actors also need to be adjusted. This series of serious consequences. For Hirakiyosugi's low-budget crew, each one was a major blow. At this time, Da Ze Ming Guang suddenly remembered something and spoke out. "Last time we auditioned, Fujitora Hirai, the one who played the gangster, I remember he acted pretty well, have you contacted him?" "I've contacted Fujitora Hirai and Shinichi Chiba. They're all full." Nakamura Shukami had a bitter look on his face. Before coming to report this matter, he had already contacted all the actors he knew who he thought were suitable for this role.
Either the schedule is full or it is a clear rejection. It was as if someone was targeting him deliberately. "Why don't you call and confirm, just in case there's a misunderstanding?"
