Chapter 14 Victory but a Thousand Words
At about three o'clock in the morning, Bai Xuejia yawned.
Filming is indeed much more tiring than he imagined, such as the last shot, Guishu and Akari watching the sunrise, so you must prepare everything before dawn, otherwise the best shot will be missed, and you will have to wait for the next day.
The rest of the crew seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and they moved the equipment to the car in high spirits. In order to avoid disturbing the other guests of the hotel, the crew was very quiet, and they were all talking in low voices.
Bai Xuejia greeted the others, and when he saw Aragaki Ayase coming out of the hotel, he couldn't help but ask her in wonder, "Isn't there no role for you?"
Aragaki Ayase said unhappily: "Can't I go and see it without my role?" She looked away, paused, and said: "Tsukasa Nishino's seniors are so powerful, it's rare to have such an opportunity, of course, you have to learn from Tsukasa Nishino's seniors." ”
As soon as the words fell, she heard Tsukasa Nishino's voice coming from behind her: "What are you studying?"
Tsukasa Nishino wore Akari's clothes: a pale cyan skirt on the bottom, a white thin shirt on the top, and a cherry-colored knitted cardigan on the outside of the thin shirt.
Even in Yazhou, where the seasons are like spring, the temperature in the early morning is not so friendly, and Tsukasa Nishino is wearing a coat outside.
Aragaki Ayase turned around and saw Tsukasa Nishino coming over, she didn't expect to be heard by Tsukasa Nishino, and she suddenly looked embarrassed.
"She thinks you're very good and wants to learn from you. Bai Xue Jia said.
"Tsukasa Nishino-senpai. Aragaki Ayase's face turned red, and she greeted her crampedly, poking Bai Xue Jia hard by the way.
When Tsukasa Nishino saw Aragaki Ayase's small movements, he couldn't help but smile, the three of them chatted a few words, and the crew got ready and got in the car and rushed to the filming location.
The filming location was on the outskirts of the prefecture, on a small hill, where part of the previous scenes of Shirasuka and Aragaki Ayase were located.
The same location, but Aragaki Ayase became Tsukasa Nishino, and Hanae became Akari. Even if it's a noble tree, it's a different noble tree.
This shot is not reality, but a fantasy, a fantasy that is seen by both a noble tree and a flower sapling.
Hua Miao knows that there is no self in Guishu's eyes, what he is looking at in his eyes is another person who is far away, and Hua Miao does not know Akari, so the figure of Akari in this fantasy is hidden in the shadows, hazy and blurry.
But Guishu knows who he is looking at, immersed in the past, Guishu sees the fantasy of Akari, his eyes, his smile, is completely different from when he looks at the flower seedlings.
At the end of the handover of heaven and earth, there was a hint of fish belly white.
Bai Xue Jia and Tsukasa Nishino took off their coats and walked up the small hill.
Bai Xuejia was wearing a short-sleeved upper body, and the cold wind was whistling on his body, pouring in from the short-sleeved cuffs and neckline, and Bai Xuejia's heart trembled. Tsukasa Nishino is a little better than him, although it is very thin, but it is two layers at all, but she is a girl. Tsukasa Nishino's expression was very natural, and he was familiar with this, Bai Xuejia thought to himself, she really deserved to be a woman who came out of the Japanese Province, and she was full of cold resistance.
Bai Xuejia suddenly felt ashamed of living in Japan for all these years, and he tried to hypnotize himself in his heart: You are hot, you are hot, you are hot!
Soon...... He felt colder.
The camera focuses on Shirayuka and Tsukasa Nishino on the hill.
Shirasuka stood with his hands in his pockets, and Tsukasa Nishino sat next to Shiraska, his legs curled up and his hands on his knees. Both of them were staring at the sun that was about to rise in the sky.
The first rays of sunlight shone on Bai Xuejia's face, and on the side, only the corners of Bai Xuejia's mouth were slightly raised.
Beside him, Tsukasa Nishino was still shrouded in shadows.
The same location, the same shot, the same two people, and even the same distance from each other. But the feeling is completely different, when Guishu and Hua Miao sat together before, it looked close, but there was a subtle sense of distance, but now when Guishu and Akari sit together, they are obviously not next to each other, but the two seem to be closely attached to each other.
Tsukasa Nishino stood up, as if stepping into reality from the unreal, and the warm morning sun clearly reflected her face.
Tsukasa Nishino and Bai Xuejia turned their heads at the same time, their eyes facing each other, speechless, and smiling.
"Perfect!"
Shinkai couldn't help but shout.
Bai Xuejia's aura is very strong—at least in the aura of this person, and the aura of Tsukasa Nishino is also very strong. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Makoto Shinkai to find Tsukasa Nishino.
Akari has very few scenes, although as the heroine, her role is even less than that of Hua Miao. But she is a very important role throughout the film, even if she does not appear, she must feel her presence everywhere.
If you want to control the role of Akari, you can't do it without a certain amount of strength.
Bai Xuejia once asked Makoto Shinkai why he chose him, but Makoto Shinkai didn't answer - in line with the choice of Guishu in his mind, there are indeed many actors, but all his money is used to invite Tsukasa Nishino, and he really has no money to invite others.
promised the teacher to go to his alma mater to be an art examiner, and he himself had another layer of caution: that is, he wanted to try his luck.
His luck was very good, and he really found one -- he noticed that he was a director, and with Bai Xuejia's clumsy and insincere acting skills, how could he hide it from his eyes? He could see that the so-called "girlfriend" was lying, but what about the other side?
Makoto Shinkai looked at people, just looking at his eyes, and he saw the precious tree he wanted: a gentle sense of distance.
However, at that time, I was immersed in the comparison between Bai Xuejia and Guishu, and I forgot to ask Bai Xuejia for contact information, and when I got off the plane, it was too late to remember.
Makoto Shinkai's luck was very good, just when he thought he had missed a good candidate, he met again in the art examination room!
And Bai Xuejia didn't come to apply for the exam, but because he accidentally picked up an admission ticket, and then he was accidentally pulled in by a teacher at the school as a candidate.
He was grateful to the student who had lost his admission ticket, and if it weren't for her, he might have missed Bai Xuejia again. He was grateful to the sloppy teacher, as long as he was serious, he would miss Bai Xue Jia again. He was very grateful to Bai Xuejia, who made you so cheap? After all, except for Bai Xuejia and the cleaners, I am afraid that no one would pay attention to a small piece of paper on the ground and open it to look at it.
Makoto Shinkai felt that his luck was simply too good, and Bai Xuejia's potential was completely beyond his imagination. Maybe he should buy a lottery ticket right away, and if he wins the first prize, then the funds for the next movie will be available.
Playing with such a person with a strong aura, either the sense of zài is completely deprived, and the rival play becomes someone else's one-man show, or like Ayase Aragaki does, it becomes a part of someone else's rhythm.
Originally, Makoto Shinkai's plan was to let Tsukasa Nishino guide Bai Xue Jia, but Bai Xue Jia evolved like eating Jin Kela. Perhaps from the moment he invited Bai Xuejia, the development of Yiqiē was already beyond his script.
If it were two people with the same strong aura, there would definitely be a collision. Sparks can complement each other and reach a higher level together. But it is also possible that one party will be touched to pieces.
No matter who the two are, Makoto Shinkai doesn't want to be suppressed. Because that will inevitably lead to flaws in the atmosphere created by the director, however, for actors, it is difficult to control such a situation, and those who can achieve this kind of Cheng dù have their own love and dedication to performance, just like a foodie sees food.
If you say to them, "Don't act like that."
That will wear away the aura, Makoto Shinkai pays a lot of attention to the atmosphere, there are few lines, there are a lot of close-ups of the characters' faces, and without the aura, it will not be able to achieve the effect he wants at all.
Acting has to be heartfelt, not careful, no matter what you play, you only have a three-point image.
Others may think that three points is enough, and the minimum requirement for Makoto Shinkai is 5 points. If you can't reach 5 points, you will lose the charm of the character.
For the first time, Makoto Shinkai was worried that the actor's acting skills were too good, and he was more worried about Bai Xuejia, after all, Tsukasa Nishino has a lot of experience, and no matter what happens, Tsukasa Nishino has his own way of adjusting. And this movie is Bai Xuejia's first performance, he is a person who doesn't know how to act at all, the first time is so difficult, like a blind man climbing a mountain, groping and moving forward, maybe if you step on the air, then what falls down is the cliff.
When he said "action", Makoto Shinkai was more nervous than Bai Xuejia himself, and his palms were sweating.
When filming began, Makoto Shinkai realized that what he feared had not happened...... It should be said that he was rushing in a direction that he had not expected at all.
Bai Xue Jia and Nishino Tsukasa both had a strong aura, but there was no collision. It's like two rivers, Bai Xue Jia Shen and Nishino Sirou, but they all go in one direction, and together they converge into a vast ocean, submerging everyone around them.
From beginning to end, there were two people without a single line.
Shiraskaka stood, and Tsukasa Nishino sits.
There is a distance of about ten centimeters in between.
It is not intimate to say that it is intimate, and it is not alienated to say that it is alienated.
The two looked in the same direction, where, where heaven and earth meet, the bright red sun slowly rose from the horizon.
Tsukasa Nishino stood up and stood in the same sunlight as Bai Xuejia, and the two turned their heads at the same time and smiled at each other.
The breath of the two of them blended together perfectly with an indescribable and inexplicable feeling.
Although it is speechless, it is better than a thousand words.
