Speaking of which, her role in the play is very special. She plays the girlfriend of the male protagonist Kawada Shogo in the Hirakiyosugi version, who is also the character who survived to the end in the previous round of battle royale and seduced her boyfriend to shoot. This character didn't have many scenes in the original version, and only appeared in Shogo Kawada's memories. And in Ping Qingshan's version. Since the protagonist was decided to be Shogo Kawada, then as Shogo Kawada's girlfriend, she was naturally promoted to the heroine and had relatively more roles. Although this character doesn't have many lines, if played well, it can be quite outstanding. It was precisely because of this that Rize Shinjo, who had already filmed two or three movies, participated in the audition at the recommendation of her agent. But after getting the role, Shinjo Rize has not been happy. This character does have some highlights, but she has too few scenes. She is called the heroine, but she has very little plot. She communicated with the crew several times, wanting to have more scenes, but was rejected every time.
This made her very unhappy. Besides, she is an actress after all. Although she has not played the leading role yet, she is well-known after all. I actually had to squeeze into a bus with this group of newcomers. It's simply outrageous. However, although he was furious in his heart, he did not show it. He just complained a few words to the leader when getting on the bus. And swear secretly in your heart. If she succeeds in the future, she will definitely give this crew who look down on her a hard time. However, Nakamura Sakegami didn't consider these at all when he arranged the itinerary. The reason why he used a large group of actors was simply because there were too many actors on the first day and he could only arrange accommodation in Chiba. Chapter 43 action! 5: am. Several buses arrived at Yujuku Junior High School. Soon after, people on the bus filed out. The crew has blocked off the school, and the stagehands have already started writing and drawing on the clapperboard for the day. Date: Saturday, March 2010, 3 Scene: Morning scene Location: Onjuku, Chiba Prefecture Lens number: 0001 Spring in Chiba Prefecture isn't exactly cold, but it's 5 .
Pingqingshan appeared on the set wearing casual clothes inside and a gray coat outside. With his appearance, the staff who were originally yawning and a little lazy suddenly became diligent. The actors also came to greet him one by one, and then were led to put on makeup. Hirakiyosugi saw Mai Sakurajima among the actors, but he did not show any special expression. Keep a clear distinction between work and life. "Hopefully it'll be a nice day today." As Ping Qingshan spoke, he took out the shooting log and handed it to Oozawa Mingguang. In the entire crew before, he had more time to meet with An Shangxiongyi and Kasumigaoka Utaha, but from today on, his partner became Oze Mingguang. Although he has rich theoretical knowledge, he is now in urgent need of an experienced assistant director to assist him. "It must be a nice day today." Da Ze Mingguang took the shooting log, and excitement was visible on his face. In fact, compared with Ping Qingshan, he seemed more excited. The reason for this excitement was largely because Ping Qingshan taught him a lot when he was storyboarding with him. He couldn't wait to see what he had learned put into practice. Following behind the two was Miyamori Aoi, who had not been seen for a long time. She returned to her own company during the audition and preparation for the show. Now that the film has officially started shooting, she reported to the crew yesterday as Hira Kiyosugi's assistant. Ping Qingshan and Oze Mingguang discussed today's shooting arrangements. "Where's the storyboard?" "it's here." Miyamori Aoi spread out the storyboard. The shooting part today was simple. Before the battle royale game officially begins, there are some normal school shots. Most of these shots will be used in flashbacks, and some will be placed at the beginning of the movie. Create a foundation to ease the mood. Today’s first shot is even simpler. The school is holding a basketball game. Several protagonists walk into the school, say hello to each other, and then run to the basketball court together. I chose to shoot these first for two reasons. One is that these shots require the use of extras and real school scenes, so it is more cost-effective to shoot them together. Another reason is that apart from the leading actor, most of the other actors have no experience. Shooting some easy shots first can effectively relieve the pressure on these novices. Of course, it can also relieve Ping Qingshan's own pressure.
After all, although he knew a lot, he had little practical experience and was still somewhat unsure about it. "Tell the makeup artist to hurry up. We need to take advantage of the light before and after sunrise. We need to prepare first." After Ping Qingshan and Oozawa Mingguang checked the shooting logs, they began to arrange the next work. "Miyamori Aoi, go inform the makeup team. We will have our first rehearsal in 20 minutes... no, half an hour. Oze Mingguang, go call the director of photography over. We need to catch the light for today's shots." The so-called catching light. It is a term used by Hira Kiyosugi to describe the control of light during filming. In short, in the movies. Each day is divided into four periods: morning, daytime, evening, and night. Correspondingly, there are four time atmospheres: morning scene, day scene, evening scene and night scene. At different times, there are different sunlight conditions, which naturally lead to different lighting tendencies. When shooting a movie, since natural light conditions are often unstable, lighting is more or less involved. But there is one exception. That is 20 minutes before and after sunrise, a total of 40 minutes of special time. It was already light during this time, but the sun was not yet directly overhead. The light at this time is very stable, just like nature is providing you with background light. Therefore, this period of time is also called the magic moment in the industry. For example, in the previous life, "Days of Heaven", the entire movie was shot using this magic moment. Ping Qingshan didn't want to spend too much money on lighting. Therefore, we need to prepare now, coordinate the extras, and coordinate rehearsals to ensure that we can produce a finished film within these precious 40 minutes. The director of photography quickly followed Da Ze Ming Guang and trotted over. Ping Qingshan didn't waste any words and asked directly. “Have you filmed the magic moment before?” The director of photography was a young man named Makoto Yamaguchi, and he simply shook his head. "I was transferred from a TV drama crew. I had heard of the Magic Hour before, but I had never filmed it." Ping Qingshan nodded. In fact, with the development of technology, the lighting technology is already very advanced. In addition, most TV dramas are shot indoors, so it is normal that it has never been shot before. "Nothing, just like normal shooting. But you have to pay attention to the morning when the sun has not risen yet. Although there is no direct light, the overall color temperature is high and the atmosphere of the light will be slightly bluish. The color temperature should be around 1000~1500K. Adjust the equipment according to this threshold." Yamaguchi Seiqing had heard from other people in the crew that the director was very professional and capable, but today's words still gave him a more direct understanding of Hira Kiyosugi's level. I felt relieved too.
Following a director who understands filming, at least communication won’t be so difficult. It would be uncomfortable if you meet a director who insists on shooting colorful black films. So he answered loudly. "I understand, supervisor." "Forget it, I'll go with you and take a look." Ping Qingshan thought for a long time and felt that it would be safer to adjust the equipment himself, so he went over to take a look and left Da Ze Mingguang to direct the extras. That's what making a movie is like. Every detail must be captured. Especially directors like Hira Kiyosugi, who have a lot of knowledge in their heads but have no practical experience. Great attention to every detail. Fortunately, Ping Qingshan has the most important say in the crew in his hands, so he can interfere in various affairs at will and act according to his own will. After all, the filming team is experienced. Under the command of Ping Qingshan. Everything is going on in an orderly manner. The AKB girls have changed into their school uniforms and are arriving at the playground one after another. The girls playing basketball cheerleaders have already started practicing dancing. The director of photography completed the debugging of the camera under the guidance of Hira Kiyosugi and was checking the installed camera crane and the laid tracks with other assistants. Nakamura Sakami has already begun coordinating with the production team to confirm the actors' costumes, props, lunch boxes, and who will be assigned to shoot AKB's promotional video after the morning filming. Except for a few big TOPs, it is impossible for Ping Qingshan to shoot videos for everyone. Da Ze Ming Guang was narrating the play to several characters who would have lines later. The crew is like a big machine, and each staff member is like a gear. Under the command of the director, they begin to operate in an orderly manner. Ping Qingshan looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. The lifelong dream of past and present lives finally began to get on track at this moment. He liked this kind of order. A good director is like a general and the crew is like a squad of soldiers. Filmmaking is a team effort and the director's leadership and vision are key. Determines the final film. The subsequent rounds of rehearsals were all very good. Ping Qingshan's threats worked, and the actors knew their lines very well, at least the first few scenes. The AKB girls and extras also worked well together. Except for one or two cuties who peeked at the camera during rehearsal and were scolded, everything else was perfect.
Ping Qingshan watched the director of photography personally operate the camera, climb onto the jib, and walk along the camera movement trajectory for the official shoot. Finally, back to the starting point. Gave him a big thumbs up. everything's ready. Ping Qingshan picked up the big speaker that had been hanging on his waist.
