As the cost of living was not yet solved, Mai Sakurajima spent all her spare time doing part-time jobs, doing chores for others, working in a pub, and modeling for magazines. I struggled to support myself in college life. But this is just a barely support. Once an accident occurs, this peaceful life will be disrupted. Just last month, the convenience store where the girl worked went bankrupt, leaving her without wages and with no money to pay the rent, and she was almost kicked out by the landlord. Finally, with the introduction of the landlord, I found a short-term loan company and borrowed some money to solve the housing problem. Therefore, Sakurajima Mai is now in the period when she is most in need of money, and at this time, she saw the advertisement of Sony Pictures in the newspaper, so she came. In fact. When she saw the advertisement, Mai Sakurajima was still confused. After all, she had participated in some TV dramas when she was a child, so she has a relatively good understanding of film and television casting. This was the first time she had seen such an open recruitment of actors from the public.
Maybe the director has some special requirements. Anyway, Sony Pictures won’t lie to you. With this thought in mind, Mai Sakurajima came to the audition with the attitude of giving it a try. I didn't expect that I would pass the first interview so easily. This made her feel a lot more relaxed. She looked at the clock on the office wall and then at the furnishings in the office. Mai Sakurajima also sighed. "Big companies are different. Even though it's an empty office, it's still so clean. Wow, there's even a sofa bed..." ~~~ the other side. Interview site. Time flies by during the interview. The entire interview process was faster than the scheduled time. Many times, Ping Qingshan just took a quick look at the interviewee and made a judgment without even watching the interviewee's performance. "Superintendent, your cup." After all the interviews were finished, An Shang Xiong Yi helped Ping Qingshan pack up and asked: "Speaking of which, were we too hasty in the interview? I felt that some people just didn't let go." When production director Nakamura Sakumi saw Anshang Xiongyi helping Ping Qingshan clean up the cups, he looked at him with contempt, as if to say, your flattery is too corny. Then he naturally picked up the coat that Ping Qingshan had put on the bench. "Yes, I think there are some good seedlings in there. If we give them more time, they may be even better." Ping Qingshan took his coat from Nakamura Shuue and the water cup from An Shang Xiongyi.
"Do you really think I'm doing this interview just to find actors?" An Shang Xiongyi and Nakamura Shugami looked at each other, both of them were a little puzzled. If this audition was not for finding actors, then what was the purpose of the audition? "This is a marketing tool. You know me, Ping Qingshan, but the audience doesn't know me. If we don't find something eye-catching for our project, how can we attract audiences to the cinema in the future?" "Think about it, an amateur unexpectedly stars in a movie, and his acting is so amazing that it shocks the industry! Is this a good headline? Do audiences want to see how this so-called amateur performs?" "After this news comes out, find a few more media outlets saying that amateurs can't act in movies, and then find a few more media outlets saying that amateurs can act well..." This technique of creating hype that has been played out in the Chinese film industry in later generations is still a new thing in Japan today. Although An Shang Xiong Yi and Nakamura Shukami had never seen other people play like this before, they are veterans in the entertainment industry after all. As soon as Ping Qingshan nodded, they immediately imagined the media's verbal battle. Then I reacted immediately. After such an operation, it is really possible to create a hot topic! Battle Royale is a group drama, and inserting an amateur actor into it will not have a big impact on the overall quality. If this can be used to increase the topic... The two looked at Ping Qingshan again and felt something passing through their minds. It turns out that this audition was not just about seizing power, but had a deeper meaning. what? You ask why the media is so sure to report such a trivial matter? Haha, if it were an ordinary director, it might not work. But this young man in front of me wants the media to do publicity, isn’t that like playing? "Do you understand why I want to hold auditions when the crew is just formed? I want to plant a seed for the future release of the movie. Besides, the crew is just starting to get used to each other, so we don't have the time to do this. When we get really busy later, we won't have time to do these things." Ping Qingshan said as he picked up his cup and took a sip of water. "I see. It really is very beneficial." This was a sincere expression of emotion from Anshang Xiongyi and Nakamura Shukami, especially Nakamura Shukami, who was originally a practitioner in the producer circle. Ping Qingshan's clever move gave him a lot of new ideas, but now these thoughts are still very confusing and he needs to sort them out slowly by himself. During the short time when the three people were talking, the crew members who had finished cleaning up the scene had spontaneously gathered behind Ping Qingshan. This is the unspoken rule in the Japanese workplace. No matter how busy you are, you have to wait until the important people leave before you can leave. In the eyes of everyone, Ping Qingshan defeated Suzuki Takashi, and he was indeed a big shot in the crew. Normally speaking, big shots should be the first to leave after finishing their work. But Ping Qingshan did the opposite and started chatting with several main creators. Besides, there was nothing to clean up at the audition site. So there is a bug in this process.
Everyone could only stand behind Ping Qingshan spontaneously. No one dared to go out before the big leader. They could only wait for him to leave first, otherwise the BUG could not be eliminated. Although Ping Qingshan has been in this world for many years, he actually has no work experience. He looked at the crew members who spontaneously surrounded him after the audition. Using the Chinese way of thinking, I thought they wanted to say something to me, but after waiting for a while, this group of people remained silent. The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Ping Qingshan finally realized that this group of people might be waiting for him to leave. But, it is obviously not appropriate to leave now. So he simply coughed twice and spoke. "Since everyone is here, I might as well tell you that I, Ping Qingshan, am not here to waste time. I really want to make something out of this movie. I hope everyone can go all out in their future work." After Ping Qingshan finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere was still a little dull, so he added another sentence. "Speaking of which, before I went to work today, my father asked me to tell everyone something. As long as this project is successful, I, the Pingqing family, will never let you down and will definitely give you a promotion and a raise." After using the name of cheap dad, the atmosphere finally became a lot more lively. Several main creators looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes. Chapter 5: Chinese youth, don’t lie down The main theme of the Japanese workplace is subtlety. There are few expressions as naked as Ping Qingshan's. Follow me and I will guarantee you wealth and glory. This kind of big pie that is common in China is rare in the Japanese workplace. If someone else said this, these veterans in the workplace would naturally not believe it. But the eldest son of the Dentsu chairman said this... For some reason, it makes people blush and their heart beat faster. Now that things have come to this, it is natural for the main creators to express their opinions. "Supervisory! I am willing to work hard on this project." "me too." "me too." Ping Qingshan nodded and said with a smile: “Thank you for your understanding and trust. Since we all have the same goal, let’s work together.” Hearing this, Anshang Xiongyi took the initiative to stand up again and led a group of people to bow deeply to Ping Qingshan: "We will definitely do our best and live up to the trust of the Pingqing family." Looking at the main creators bowing again, Ping Qingshan did not get cocky this time. After helping them up, he also bowed deeply to them in return. "let's work hard together!"
When Ping Qingshan stood up, the attitude of the entire crew towards Ping Qingshan changed again. From this moment on. Ping Qingshan took on the future of this group of people and became their "leader" If an ordinary young person said this, it would definitely not have this effect. Everyone just laughed. But for Pingqingshan, the effect is completely different. Of course, Ping Qingshan is well aware that he has no appeal at the moment. His words were effective, and it was Ping Qingshan who dragged his adoptive father out to raise the banner. But as the saying goes. No matter whether the cat is black or white, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat. It turns out that these people from Sony Pictures were a little uncomfortable with Ping Qingshan's straightforward words. But it really works for them. After everyone dispersed, Ping Qingshan also breathed a sigh of relief. Don't be fooled by the fact that he looks calm and composed at the scene. But in fact, he was also worried. worry about what? Of course, I am worried that I won’t be able to adapt to the local climate. Three years ago, one year before the 08 Beijing Olympics, he opened his eyes in this world. He was being beaten up by a group of thugs. In order to save himself, he picked up the knife that fell on the ground and beat the man to death, then fainted again. After waking up again from the hospital bed. He then realized that what he had experienced before was not a nightmare. I actually traveled to Japan. Then, he met his "father" and "grandfather" in front of the hospital bed. In fact, Ping Qingshan didn't know these two people. Fortunately, he graduated from a film and television academy in his previous life. Although he majored in directing, he had never directed a film. But because he had never made a film, he stayed in a drama theater for a few years after graduation and also stayed in Hengdian for some time. His acting skills are actually very good, and his basic skills are very solid.
I don’t know what to say anyway, so I’ll just cry. He hugged his father and grandfather and cried bitterly, repeating the same thing over and over again. "Wow, I thought I would never see dad and grandpa again~~" No matter what you ask, Ping Qingshan will just burst into tears. With his crying scenes, he managed to get through the most difficult time. Then Ping Qingshan gradually regained the original owner's memory. Then, Ping Qingshan took almost a whole year to adapt to this new identity, and another two years to complete his university studies. After graduation, he encountered the problem of finding a job, just like in his previous life.
