In Chiyoda District, Ichiro Asano put down the phone, the excitement on his face was visible at a glance. After hanging up the phone, he immediately picked up the phone and called his friend. "Kugami! Did you receive the call..." The person on the other end of the phone was obviously excited as well. "I got it. How much is your offer?" Asano Ichiro said excitedly "20 yen for a subtle compliment to Happy Death Day. What about you?" "Me too, but I'm required to write three consecutive reviews." Although Ichiro Asano and Kinoshita look like ordinary people on weekdays, they are actually professional film critics. To be honest, the treatment of Japanese film critics is much lower than that of American film critics.
Mainly because they are essentially still attached to the editors of the newspaper. Generally speaking, they only get 10,000 to 20,000 yen for writing a film review. And now, suddenly someone gives 20 yen. It is naturally a blessing from heaven. Normally, people who pay so much money would have someone trying to discredit certain movies, but this kind of giving money to promote something is rare. This is mainly because Japan’s film market is very distorted. The crew of art films would not bother to do such things. The crew of a commercial film... Um... sorry, there were no commercial films in Japan before Taira Kiyosugi. Movies adapted from anime and TV series rely on their fans and don't need any praise from critics. This is also one of the reasons why Japanese film critics are not doing well. "How are you going to write it?" Ichiro Asano made this call for two purposes. The first was to confirm the direction of the wind, whether the other party only contacted him to give money, or contacted both of them. If it is the former, he should be more careful when writing film reviews. Because you don’t know what the final film review environment will be like. But if it is the latter, then you can basically go for it with confidence. After all, everyone has received the money, so the wind direction will definitely be the same. "I just wrote it according to my heart. I thought the movie was really interesting. Even if I didn't get paid, I would still give it a good review." Ichiro Asano nodded, although in his memory, his good friend was the kind of person who was paid to say bad things about the movie "Battle Royale" directed by the same director. But, making money is not shameful.
So he didn't expose it, but discussed his ideas with his friends. After all, the money has been collected, so the quality of the film reviews must be guaranteed. Chapter 190 Return to Yujuku "Sakura Girl" office. The Tokyo sky was turning slightly pale. Ping Qingshan was sitting in his office, reading a film review in the Tokyo Metropolitan News. To be honest, this film review is of low quality. The whole process was just a bunch of bragging. What is the best feature film in recent years? You will regret if you don't watch it. One moment it is the culmination of director Hirata Kiyomi's work, and the next moment it is a milestone in Japanese cinema. In short, blow it as corny as possible. But, how should I put it, I still think Ping Qingshan looks pretty good. But after looking for a while, Ping Qingshan wrapped up the newspaper in his hand and threw it away. It's okay to read some words that flatter yourself occasionally to cheer up your body and mind and relax. If you watch too much, you will inevitably lose interest. Ping Qingshan put down the newspaper, stood up and stretched. "Huh, it's time to get down to business." With the release of the movie "Happy Death Day", it is September. Tokyo is gradually getting hotter. The first season of Hira Kiyosugi's other project, "Sakura Girls," is also coming to an end. Just as the box office of "Happy Death Day" was steadily rising, the filming of the last regular program of "Sakura Girls" began. Because it is the last issue. The program team also planned a special episode. The girls took the bus to Ojuku early in the morning. Prepare for filming. Ojuku is the place where Hira Kiyosugi previously filmed "Battle Royale". Later, after "Battle Royale" became a big hit at the box office, Ping Qingshan rented the studio for a long time. It was rented for twenty years at a time.
After all, after being used by the crew of "Battle Royale", the studio had actually become a very complete studio. After a long-term lease, Ping Qingshan renovated the entire studio. Without spending much money, it was transformed into a modern studio. In addition, the Yujuku government also supported the establishment of this studio and signed a lease renewal memorandum with the Heisei Kagawa Studio. At that time, many people felt that this was unnecessary. But after Ping Qingshan started his own production department, the studio was almost always in operation, saving Ping Qingshan a lot of money. At the same time, it is somewhat far from Tokyo. Shooting here also allows everyone to focus on their work. It can be considered as some kind of unexpected benefit. In addition to renting a studio in Ojuku. Ping Qingshan also took the opportunity to buy a large villa in Yujuku. Of course, the main purpose of buying this villa is not to live in it myself, but to facilitate the filming of the crew. Although when renovating the studio, Ping Qingshan built a staff dormitory. But if the team stationed in the studio invites some big names as guests, the production team will also place them in the villa to rest. In addition, the villa itself is also used as a filming location. Recently, if you often watch Tokyo TV, you will find that this villa is used as the background in many programs. Just like the last episode of "Sakura Girls", this villa was also used for outdoor camping. Accompanied by the girls' happy singing, the high-seat bus moved slowly on the road. Happy summer travel has arrived! "The last episode of the show is actually to go to a villa to rest. This feels great." Liella!'s Tang Keke was very excited sitting on the bus. "Yeah~ That's producer Hirakiyosugi's villa!! It should be very luxurious." Minami Kotori, who was sitting next to Tang Keke, was also very excited. Although the two are not from the same group. But during the filming of the program during this period, they got along more and more and gradually became good friends. "But, can one villa accommodate so many of us? I always feel like there's a conspiracy here." Some are excited, but others are worried. This final episode was just like the last special episode about competing for movie roles, with all crew members out in force. Eri Ayase remembered that when they set out, there were a total of 4 buses, including the staff. How big a villa would it take to accommodate so many people? "Oh, don't worry, Eri. Are the production crew going to let us sleep on the streets?" Kousaka Honoka didn't care at all about Eri Ayase's worries. After comforting her with a few words, they started talking about other things.
It is said that three girls make a drama. But when a group of girls get together, it’s no longer a drama. The whole car is filled with the chattering of girls. But at this time. A staff member sitting in the co-pilot seat suddenly stood up, and a cameraman also stood up at the same time. The girls quickly realized that it was time to start recording the show. But what to record in the car? Just as Kousaka Honoka was wondering, the staff of the program team began to ask the girls one by one in front of the camera what they brought for today's outdoor camping training. This question caused an immediate uproar. "Camping!? Didn't you say you were staying in a villa?" Hear the girls' questions. The staff member smiled wickedly. "We only said that there is a villa where we are going today, but we didn't say we are going to stay in the villa." "what!?" "Eh~~~" The production team of Sakura Girls has been led astray by Ping Qingshan, and the polar reversal of emotions, which is the most effective way to create a good show effect, has been played out by the production team. After listening to the girls' wailing, the staff directly announced that they would be camping in the wild today and everyone needed to set up their own tents and prepare various camping supplies. The program crew took out a box in the car that looked very similar to the New Year's blessing box and asked everyone to draw lots. Inside are some props that can be used for camping. Although they are called props, one can easily understand that in pursuit of effective effects, the program crew would not be so kind as to use props that are truly useful. So, when Kousaka Honoka drew a stack of tin foil, when Minami Kotori drew a roll of toilet paper, and when Shibuya Kanon drew a telescope. Everyone was devastated. Fortunately, after several months of high-intensity variety show training. Well, it is indeed a high-intensity variety show training. After all, one "Sakura Girls" project supports four regular variety shows and a large number of temporary program plans. Most of the members. Even those members who had never been involved in variety shows before now have some experience in variety show recording. After drawing these weird things, I can react very well. For example, after Nan Xiaoniao and Tang Keke both drew toilet paper, the two girls, holding the two toilet paper rolls, high-fived to celebrate. It means that the two of them really have a good understanding.
After a short activity. While everyone was talking, Yujuku arrived. However, the program crew did not go to the town of Onjuku to rest, but drove the bus directly to Hirakiyosugi's villa. Chapter 191: Sakura Girl Royal Villa Ping Qingshan's villa is not far from the studio.
