At one point, she was even about to shout out "Ping Qingshan", but in the end, Ishihara Satomi gave the male protagonist a professional smile. "The last one! Don't laugh. In your world, you just got picked up by someone. Why are you laughing now!?" "Yeah...sorry." "Props, review, and another one." Ping Qingshan's tone was calm, but the entire crew was becoming more and more depressed. In his opinion, Ishihara can still perform well in the first half of this scene, and as long as Ishihara Satomi performs in the same state as before, she can pass it if she does it again. However, what awaited the crew next was one “CUT!” after another. As she was unable to move on to the next line, Ishihara Satomi was obviously getting nervous. In this drama, Satomi Ishihara is the absolute protagonist. Whether it is the scene, the costumes, the creative team's previous definition of the theme, or the logic of the entire drama, all of this will ultimately fall on her. Moreover, the entire plot of "Happy Death Day" follows her throughout. There is very little plot without the heroine, so even though Ishihara Satomi seems to be in worse condition.
It is also not possible to shoot other people first like in "Battle Royale", allowing the actors to adjust their mindset and then come back to shoot. From start to finish. This drama can be said to be a one-man show of the heroine, from being killed to going back in time, from the initial terror to discovering that she can go back to the past and actively explore, to discovering that every death will leave irreversible internal injuries on her body, and that the fear that she herself is not without cost. From being simply killed by the murderer at the beginning, to being able to fight back and forth with the murderer later, to accidentally discovering the truth in the end. Throughout the whole process, the audience's attention will always follow her, watching what she watches and smelling what she hears. And Ishihara Satomi must convey the emotions contained in all this to the audience through her actions and expressions, and make the audience think what she thinks, otherwise the performance can be declared a failure. Therefore, Ping Qingshan attached great importance to Ishihara's performance and had high expectations for him. But this emphasis has also turned into unprecedented pressure. Ishihara Satomi had never encountered a drama that focused entirely on her before. The spotlight suddenly fell on her, and she found that her experience in filming TV dramas did not seem to meet Taira Kiyoshi's requirements. Soon I panicked. Anyone who has performed on stage, even on a podium, knows one thing: as long as a person gets nervous, his or her performance will only get worse. After shouting "CUT" several times, Ishihara Satomi fell into a depressed state, as if sleepwalking, and her acting was terrible. Not as good as the first few shots. Although those shots didn’t quite fit in with the plot line of the movie, they at least showed Ishihara beautifully. Ishihara Satomi fell into a slump, and soon the entire shoot became a mess. Ping Qingshan had never encountered such a situation before. The previous "Battle Royale" is an ensemble drama, so the camera language is actually quite scattered. As long as it's generally acceptable, it can produce good results. The shots in "Happy Death Day" are very focused. When you put anything under the spotlight, any problem will be magnified exponentially.
When Ping Qingshan kept talking about the play, but found that Ishihara's acting skills were getting worse and worse, he also became annoyed. However, Ping Qingshan's mentality is much stronger than Ishihara Satomi. After just a few deep breaths, he calmed down. At a time like this, anyone could be furious, except him! He's not that kind of movie tyrant. It’s no use making a movie just by yelling. not to mention. This is Japan, and if you get mad on the spot you'll just get a bunch of people bowing to you. After trying one more shot, Ping Qingshan temporarily stopped filming. "Ishihara, come with me, let's talk alone." He has seen it. The problem now is not that Ishihara Satomi’s acting skills are bad, but that Ishihara Satomi has a problem with her mentality. At this time, we must first solve her mental problem. Actually, if you think about it, after all, the current Ishihara Satomi is far less experienced than later generations, and has never achieved real success. Therefore, when Ping Qingshan gave her a bigger stage. She was a little overwhelmed. After all, it is actually caused by lack of confidence. Ping Qingshan had no better solution to this problem. I can only try to talk about some of the problems he had in his acting when filming in Hengdian. However, Ishihara Satomi was completely out of form. Now, Ishihara Satomi is like a student who was called to the office by the class teacher. Ping Qingshan could clearly feel that what he said went in one ear and out the other to the beautiful woman in front of him. "What are you worried about?" Ping Qingshan finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked seriously. "I, I don't know. I, I'm afraid it won't be good... I'm also afraid that if it's not good, you will change the actors... I" Ishihara Satomi's words are both true and false. Ishihara Satomi, who is known as the little devil girl, is probably acting better at this time than she just did in the studio. However, at this time, Ping Qingshan no longer wanted to understand what she said. He planned to solve Ishihara Satomi's confidence problem by taking a different approach.
So, Ishihara Satomi hasn't finished speaking yet. Ping Qingshan had already pulled her into his arms and kissed her directly. "Supervisor!! This, this is on the set." "It's okay, I locked the door." "No, no, this... is too... likely to be heard by others." Ishihara Satomi felt a pair of big hands wandering on her thighs. "Wouldn't it be alright if you just kept your voice down later?" "what!" Just as Ishihara Satomi was about to retort, Ping Qingshan's hand had already moved up from her thigh to the valley. She had never expected that Ping Qingshan would want her here. You have to know that this so-called office is actually a temporary hut built on the set, and the sound insulation effect is not very good. However, Ping Qingshan became more assertive and she couldn't refuse him. What's more, she hasn't communicated with Heping Qingshan for a long time since the last time. After it really started, she also became moved. Add to that the location and the time, it's much more exciting than last time. After a fierce battle. Both of them were sweating profusely. Ping Qingshan found a towel and handed it to her. "Play your role with peace of mind. The heroine of this film can only be you." Although Ping Qingshan's method is strange. But the effect is surprisingly good. I don’t know if it was the piston movement that allowed Ishihara Satomi to vent her tension, or for some other reason, but it started in the afternoon. Ishihara Satomi's condition is visibly improving. Ping Qingshan was given the green light for a few shots as long as they met the passing line, to give her some confidence. At worst, she can come back for more shots later. Everything is going in the right direction. Everyone in the studio was happy that Satomi Ishihara had regained her form. Only Mai Sakurajima had a strange look in her eyes when she looked at Satomi Ishihara. Chapter 174 Experience The next two days.
The entire shooting progress began to accelerate. Ishihara Satomi also gradually found the feeling. Sometimes, I would discuss the heroine's role with Hei Qingshan. It’s true that some of the ideas can actually be used. On the one hand, they greatly supplement Ping Qingshan’s conception of the protagonist, and on the other hand, they also make the character more vivid. At the same time, as they get along with each other daily, Ishihara Satomi admires Hirakiyosugi more and more. Although she had seen Ping Qingshan's abilities in other places before, she didn't know much about Ping Qingshan at work. After working with him, I realized that there is a reason why this person can succeed. At work, this man is not only very energetic, but also very motivated. His eyes are always bright, especially when he is talking about a play. More importantly, his prestige in the crew is really quite high. Ishihara Satomi has been in many crews, like this... Well...a well-organized crew is really rare. Although the shooting pace of this drama was very tight, so tight that almost everyone was jogging in the studio. But it gives people a sense of order. Fast but not messy. Everyone worked very hard and was very dedicated, even the lighting technicians were very dedicated in lighting. She didn't know how Ping Qingshan did this. Even though she was the heroine of the play, she didn't understand why such a strange situation occurred in the crew. In the end, the only thing we can attribute to is Ping Qingshan’s identity and his unique temperament. Although Ishihara Satomi didn't want to say that second-year word, she felt she had to say it. Perhaps this is the so-called "kingly style." A natural leadership ability that makes people obey instinctively. At least she was obedient... Well, should I make a mistake on purpose later so that I can ask for advice on my acting skills? Ishihara Satomi fell into deep thought as she looked at Hirakiyosugi who was explaining the scene to Mai Sakurajima in the studio. "This character's motive for committing crimes all comes from the emotional line. She found out that her fiancé was still having an affair with the heroine before getting married, and she believed that the heroine was having an affair with her fiancé..." As Hira Kiyosugi spoke, he analyzed the role played by Sakurajima Mai. Throughout "Happy Death Day", Mai Sakurajima is the second female lead. On the surface, she is the heroine's roommate, but behind the scenes she is a masked murderer who wants to kill the heroine. This character had a very weak presence in the original American version of Happy Death Day. On the one hand, the plot is weak. Although there are many hints and clues throughout the film, the second female lead does not appear for very long, and most of the time she is killing people in masks.
Secondly, the motive for murder was very weak. He simply wanted to kill her because he couldn't stand the heroine's lifestyle and was jealous that the heroine had snatched the man she liked. of course. These two shortcomings were not a big problem in the original film. After all, the point of the original movie was to see the heroine come back to life again and again. However, in Hira Kiyosugi's version, the role of this character was slightly expanded. This includes the motive for murder.
