"That's it, it's getting late, you should finish cleaning up and rest." Ping Qingshan stood outside the door and took a look at the apartment. He felt that it was indeed okay, so he planned to leave. He also had to go home early to rest as he had a lot of things to do the next day. "Um...wait." Seeing Ping Qingshan was about to leave, Sakurajima Mai pulled the man's sleeve in panic. Too many things happened today. She actually has a lot of emotions that she wants to express, but these emotions are difficult to express clearly. Whether it was eating together, watching the sunset, or helping to find a new apartment, these small details added up made Sakurajima Mai's feelings for Hirakiyosugi obviously different. There was even a moment when Mai Sakurajima wanted to confess her love. But it also felt like it was too sudden and the timing was wrong. While she was struggling with the dilemma, Ping Qingshan was about to leave, and Sakurajima Mai hurriedly grabbed his clothes. Looking at the handsome face that turned around, Sakurajima Mai didn't know what to say.
Her beautiful eyes moved around, and in the end she only uttered one sentence. "Thank you, Shan-senpai." "Next time, remember to call me as soon as possible. You said you encountered a problem, what's the point of calling the landlord?" After Ping Qingshan finished speaking, he couldn't help but tap the girl's forehead with his finger. ~~~ When daily life becomes repetitive, time flies by quickly like running water. Several months passed in a flash. Time has passed from the early spring of 10 to summer. After experiencing two major disturbances, Ping Qingshan successfully completed the filming of the movie. In fact, this time could have been earlier. By the end of June, all the scenes had been filmed. It’s just that as the crew and actors become more proficient, the results of the later films are obviously much better than the previous ones. There was still some time left before the screening, and combined with the savings made by Nakamura Sakami on the venue and the 500 million yen paid by Takakura Kazumi, there was still a lot of money left in the entire filming budget. So in July. Ping Qingshan went through all the previous shots again and shot again the parts that had flaws, problems, or new ideas. If the budget had not been spent in the end, Nakamura Sakami felt that Hira Kiyoshige might have been able to reshoot the entire film. So, the saying left behind in the film and television industry makes sense. The only thing that can limit a director's madness is the budget. As long as you dare to give, the director will dare to spend.
However, no matter how hard we tried, by the end of July, the last shot was completed. The entire early filming process of "Battle Royale" has come to an end. The crew is about to disband. All that remains is editing and post-production. This was supposed to be a very sad thing. But at the shutdown ceremony, Ping Qingshan didn't feel sad at all. Japan's strange sense of ritual made him feel... very subtle. Just like the opening ceremony. The shutdown ceremony also revolves around the camera. If there are gods in Japanese movies, Taira no Kiyoshige cannot tell what their bodies look like, but their heads are definitely giant cameras. The entire shutdown ceremony is divided into three parts. One is to pack up. There is no problem with this. We just need to pack up all the photographic equipment and props that were built previously. We should also dismantle all the built scenery. However, considering that he would be doing a battle royale variety show for AKB in the future, Hira Kiyoshige decided to put it aside for the time being. Moreover, if major problems are discovered during editing later, it is convenient to reshoot. Anyway, when we were filming, the rental period was until the end of August, so there was still time. After packing up, it’s time to move on to the second step. All photographic equipment will be gathered together and covered with white cloth, and monks from nearby temples will be invited to perform rituals for the deceased. This step is not included in all shutdown ceremonies. It is mainly when it involves murder or bloody plots that you need to call a monk or a witch to perform a ritual of salvation. It is said that when movies were first introduced to Japan. There was a drama about the Warring States period, and after filming was completed, the filming equipment was directly transferred to a crew shooting an urban drama. Then the crew shot some weird things. It is said that there was an incident where the camera turned on by itself when no one was around and captured a scene of a samurai committing suicide by disembowelment. The crew was so scared at the time that they quickly invited a monk to perform a ritual to help the dead soul to be reborn. This solved the problem. Then this custom was preserved. As for the last step of the shutdown ceremony, it is the same as turning on the power, burning the white cloth covering it and then praying. In short, in the eyes of director Ping Qingshan, this feudal and superstitious story is simply too far-fetched. It's similar to an urban legend.
He also felt that not everyone in the crew believed this, but it was strange that no one dared to take it lightly. On second thought, metaphysics is like this. In the future, when playing pay-to-win games, wouldn’t he have to play a song called “Good Luck Comes” for himself before drawing a card? Thinking of this, Ping Qingshan did not complain on the spot. He followed the group of people to complete the ceremony, and tried hard to maintain his super serious expression - you can not believe it, but you must not show an expression of indifference. What's more, Ping Qingshan is the director. After the ceremony was over and all the equipment was packed and loaded onto the vehicle, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief. ~~~ modern society. A movie wants to be successful. Marketing has become an indispensable thing. For those with sufficient budgets, like Saint Seiya, the news will be everywhere, while for "poor" crews like Ping Qingshan, they can only come up with some crooked ideas. The exclusive interview with Sakurajima Mai and related reports on amateur actors' participation in the film have all been written and are waiting to be developed in October. AKB's resources have also been negotiated. Even in the early stages, several AKB girls who participated in the show had already started promoting it on various occasions. But these are far from enough. After thinking for a while. Ping Qingshan turned on the computer at home, silently opened and logged into [Japanese Entertainment] a comprehensive film and television entertainment website, and sent a private message to an administrator named "Movie No. 1". [Are you there? Call me back. ] The real name of "Movie No. 1" is Kiyokane Fujii. Currently a student at Tokyo Film Academy and an employee of Hira Kiyoshige Studio. The daily work is also simple. It is to maintain this comprehensive website called [Japanese Entertainment]. After LINE became popular this year, we are still maintaining multiple LINE groups. As the Internet became more mature, the popularity of the [Japanese Entertainment] forum grew, and it soon became the largest entertainment forum on the Japanese Internet. The reason why it has developed into this. There is no other reason, it's simply because the Japanese Internet is so bad. Another month has passed. Tomorrow, it’s time to put it on the shelves again.
It took about a month from the idea of this book to the writing of it. Let me give you a brief report on the current situation. The current collection of 3400 is considered average. The biggest feedback we received was that the pace was too slow. Now thinking about it the other way around, I feel that I was too greedy and laid out too many things in the early stages. In the later stage, the order of appearance of the love line and the career line will be balanced. Career will be done when it is time to do career, and favor will be improved when it is time to improve favor. Before it was put on the shelves, considering that the groundwork had been laid almost enough, some of the original content was simply deleted and the film went straight to the relatively exciting release stage. As for the unfinished project, everyone can rest assured. The collection in this book is much better than the previous one, and it won’t have a bad ending. In addition, this book currently has 12 words in draft (now it seems that having too many drafts is not a good thing, because when writing the later plots, I always want to fill in some things in the front, which makes the rhythm a bit slow) After being put on the shelves, it must be updated stably. Finally, I would like to ask for your first order. This is really important to me and is directly related to the recommendations that follow. Salted Fish author, thank you Chapter 65: Digging a Hole null Chapter 66: Preview It is already autumn in Tokyo at the end of October. The early morning sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and does not bring much warmth. The maple leaves on both sides of the street gradually turned golden and red. "There may be media interviews after today's preview, so remember to say good things and fill in the evaluation card..." "Okay, Miyamori, you've said it three times along the way, and we've memorized it." On the streets of Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, Aoi Miyamori, Midori Imai, and Ema Yasuhara walked towards the Chiyoda Cinema. Today is the preview of "Battle Royale". As a low-budget movie, Ping Qingshan did not choose to have a premiere, but instead held a preview one day in advance. A total of 21 cinemas across the country will start trial screenings today. Like many other low-budget movies, the feedback from the first day of the preview directly determines the subsequent screening schedule. If the preview is good, the theater owner will choose to schedule more screenings. If it is not, they may only schedule one screening symbolically, or even not schedule any screenings at all.
As the son of Ping Qing Yinan, Ping Qingshan can naturally get the most basic screening schedule, but it is just the most basic screening schedule. There are a total of 11 movies in theaters on November 1st.
