But in this world, there is a kind of people who treat the rights granted by their superiors as private property. He likes to use chicken feathers as a token of authority and pretends to be selfless. He is obviously a nobody, but he likes to say that I am a straightforward person who talks directly to the matter, not the person. Suzuki Takashi is such a person. He was indeed afraid of Ping Qingshan's background, but he was more afraid that his rights would be taken away by others. "Who are you calling an old dog! Ping Qingshan, I'm telling you, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you work for Dentsu. This is Sony, Sony Pictures!!" "So this is Sony Pictures? I saw you yelling so fiercely, I thought this was your Suzuki company." Ping Qingshan's response was crisp and clear. "You...don't go too far. I am the producer of this crew. I can fire you at any time! No, I have decided. You are disrespectful to your superiors and slandering me. I will fire you now!!" Suzuki Takashi's voice became higher and higher, and he became more and more excited as he spoke. He suddenly realized that there was no need to argue with the pretty boy opposite him, he could just cut off the source of the problem. Remove! Remove him from his post!
Of course, Suzuki Takashi also knew this. Given the identity behind the other party, he will definitely not be dismissed. By then, people from Dentsu will definitely come to beg him, and he will not be able to really refuse Dentsu. However, this does not prevent him from using dismissal as a threat to scare the other party, and he has already decided that when the people from Dentsu come to him for help, he will give Ping Qingshan a good scolding. It would be embarrassing for him even at Dentsu. really. After hearing what Suzuki Takashi said, the atmosphere in the conference room, which had originally become somewhat relaxed, fell into deathly silence again. Almost everyone looked at Ping Qingshan with concern. Although Ping Qingshan had only been on the crew for a few days, this fair and humorous director still left a deep impression on them. But at this moment, they can only express their position with their eyes. However, as the main person in charge, he faced the threat of dismissal from Suzuki Takashi. Ping Qingshan just smiled, and then took out a contract from the file bag like a magic trick and threw it in front of Suzuki Takashi. "what is this?" Looking at the contract document sliding across the table, Suzuki Takashi suddenly felt something was not right. "You'll know once you see it." Ping Qingshan replied expressionlessly. Suzuki Takashi picked up the contract and flipped through it quickly. As his eyes moved, the expression on his face became increasingly stiff. Everyone in the conference room looked at Suzuki Takashi curiously, wanting to know what was going on. A few minutes later, Suzuki Takashi put the contract down and looked at Ping Qingshan blankly. After a while, he spoke again with a hoarse voice: "What, what's going on?" "What's going on? It's very simple. Sony Pictures has transferred the main production of the "Battle Royale" film production committee to the Hirakiyosugi Studio. In other words, from now on, I am the one who makes the decisions on the production committee."
“And now, I am announcing this as the Battle Royale Production Committee.” "Suzuki Takashi! You are fired!" Ping Qingshan's voice at this moment was just like his name, calm and cold, making people feel cold. And until this time. Suzuki Takashi suddenly realized what had happened. At this moment, Suzuki Takashi thought of a lot. He is no longer a young man who has just entered society. As an executive of Sony Pictures, if he is kicked out of the crew here for any reason, it will not be as simple as losing a project. What was lost was his entire future, his prospects. Suzuki Takashi's face turned pale. Then he did something that no one in the room expected. He stood up and rushed towards Ping Qingshan. Just when Ping Qingshan thought that this man was about to explode and commit murder, the next second Suzuki Takashi crawled on the ground and did a standard dogeza. "Director Qingshan!!! I was wrong. Please don't fire me. I have parents and children to take care of. I, I...I have made contributions to Sony..." Suzuki Takashi's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into sobs. Everyone in the conference room was stunned. They didn't expect Suzuki Takashi to do such a shameful thing. However, Ping Qingshan was quite calm about this. He glanced at Suzuki Takashi lying on the ground indifferently, without any regard for Suzuki Takashi's face. He put away the documents on the table and spoke in a calm tone in front of everyone. "Suzuki-kun, it wasn't me who fired you, it was you who fired you." Ping Qingshan paused for a moment and no longer paid attention to the defeated general in front of him who had neither courage nor ability. Instead, he turned around, looked at the time on his watch, and then began to deploy his work very naturally. "This is the end of the crew reorganization. Everyone, do you have any other opinions?" Everyone in the conference room who was originally watching Suzuki Takashi's excitement quickly shook their heads. "No comments, supervision!" "no!" "Since there are no objections, it's time to get to work. Notify the scene that the audition will start as usual. I'll be there soon." "Yes! Supervisor~!" After saying this, Ping Qingshan turned around and left the meeting room.
Afterwards, An Shang Xiong Yi also stood up and walked out of the meeting room. Soon after, one person after another followed him out. Suzuki Takashi was still kneeling on the ground, muttering to himself, his face as pale as a ghost. Chapter 2 Sakurajima Mai The audition location was in a dance studio at the end of the corridor. Although the wind had been blown out in advance, there was still a faint smell of sweat in the dance room. Fortunately, it was not strong and was still within Ping Qingshan's acceptable range. The whole room was illuminated by soft lights, and the wall near the door was covered with mirrors. The mirror makes the already spacious dance studio appear even wider, and the other wall is a row of open windows, but this time they are covered by blue curtains. This dance studio was temporarily requisitioned for the interview. Therefore, there was not much in the room, just a rectangular table and a few soft chairs. There was a camera next to the table, and two photographers were making the final adjustments. They wanted to record the entire audition process for the director to review. The rest of the space was left empty to facilitate the actors' performances. In fact, there is a little episode here. Before the formal meeting started, after learning that Suzuki Takashi had stepped down at such a rapid speed, several staff members were troubled by how to adjust the judges' panel. Originally there were 5 judges. Arranged from the middle, they are the chief producer, the director, then the chief producer, the supervisor, and the producer. And now that Taira Kiyosugi has brought down Takashi Suzuki. There is one less person among the five. In this case, wouldn't it be enough to just remove a position? But the problem is that after one position is removed, the jury will no longer have a main seat, that is, the center position will be gone. From the Chinese perspective, can this be considered a problem? But in Japan, this is indeed a problem. So at the last moment, it was assistant director Da Ze Mingguang who came up with a solution. Since we are short of one person, why don't we just add one person from the crew to the judging panel? Then they picked someone. The person chosen is also very interesting. If we rank them from top to bottom according to the crew's level, this person should be the assistant director Ohze Mingguang, but the person actually chosen by everyone was An Shangxiongyi who had just spoken up for Pingqingshan. Are you saying that the Japanese workplace is boring? That's still interesting.
Of course, for Ping Qingshan, he doesn't care too much about these now. He folded his arms and watched everyone's "courtesy and humility" from the perspective of observing the Japanese workplace, and waited until Anshang Xiong Yi came over and invited him to take a seat. Then he sat in the center seat with an expressionless face. "Dear judges, my name is Sakurai Miki, I am from Tokyo Academy of Fine Arts, I love acting and hope to join the crew..." After Ping Qingshan sat on the judges' seat, the staff began to call out numbers and the audition officially began. Today's audition process is simple. Introduce yourself, perform a prepared piece, and then have a question-and-answer session. Next, the interviewees took turns to come on stage, and the actors who had been waiting outside for a long time entered the venue one by one to start the interview. The staff on site read out the names of the interviewees one by one with a blank expression. "Number 11, Sakurajima Mai!" Mai Sakurajima nervously pushed open the door of the interview venue. As soon as the girl entered the interview site, she attracted everyone's attention. The first impression that Mai Sakurajima gives people is clarity. She has long black hair draped over her shoulders, she is gentle and generous, and her clear light blue eyes are deep and bright. Looking more closely, the cute rabbit hairpin on the girl's hair cleverly brings Sakurajima Mai's slightly cold temperament back to the human world. The white dress was also very fitted, with the hem stopping just above her knees, perfectly showing off the girl's figure. The brown leather shoes and the cute bunny pattern on the socks are like the finishing touch, making the girl look more playful and cute. The entire interview scene. Except that Ping Qingshan was prepared after seeing the name. Everyone else was amazed at Mai Sakurajima's appearance. Looking at the serious expression of the interviewer sitting behind the desk, Sakurajima Mai felt a little nervous for some reason. Fortunately, the girl adjusted herself quickly and began to introduce herself. "Hello, judges. My name is Mai Sakurajima, and I am from Kanagawa Prefecture..." After listening to Mai Sakurajima's self-introduction, the person sitting on the right side of the judges' seat spoke first: "Please sit down. Don't be nervous. You can treat it as a chat." The sign in front of the middle-aged man who was speaking had two lines of words, one large and one small. Above it was a line of small words that read "Sony Pictures Production Director", and below it was his name, Nakamura Sakegami. Although Nakamura Sakami spoke in a relaxed tone, his expression was very serious, and his eyes always had a professional look as if he was examining merchandise. This kind of gaze made Sakurajima Mai feel a little uncomfortable.
"Let me do it." Ping Qingshan, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly spoke, and Nakamura Jiu, who had been very serious just now, immediately softened his tone. "Of course, Shan-san, you're welcome."
