Makoto Shinkai brought both Shirakukata and Tsukasa Nishino in front of him, but he didn't speak, lowered his head and folded his arms, and paced back and forth with a frown.

Bai Xue Jia asked Tsukasa Nishino with his eyes: What's wrong with him?

Tsukasa Nishino shook his head: I don't know.

After a while, Makoto Shinkai finally stopped pacing before shaking Bai Xue Jia, looked at Tsukasa Nishino and Bai Xue Jia, and said to the two: "The last part, I won't say anything, I don't have any requirements." However, no requirement is the biggest requirement, you can ignore the script I gave you before, no lines, no script, I don't want to perform, I want to see Guishu and Akari, and their final choice. ”

Bai Xuejia didn't feel anything about it, but Tsukasa Nishino was very surprised, which showed the director's extreme trust in the actors, as well as extraordinary courage. In other words, it is reckless, so that Bai Xuejia and Tsukasa Nishino forget the script, that is, now the two are completely free to play, but at the same time, there is no limit, which means that the two don't know what kind of effect the director wants.

The only thing he said was "Kiki" and "Akari".

It is only a "willful" director like him who dares to use a newcomer like Bai Xuejia who knows nothing at all, and also allows Bai Xuejia to change the play at will, so that he dares to make such an almost ridiculous choice.

Fortunately, the two actors who received this task were Bai Xuejia and Tsukasa Nishino, although Tsukasa Nishino is young, his experience and strength are second to none among the new generation of actors. And Bai Xuejia is a newcomer who doesn't understand anything in the first place, and is not bound by old-fashioned discussions. The performance he groped out was to turn himself into a noble tree, and whether there was a script or not was a matter of whether or not he had to memorize his lines.

I don't have to memorize the lines, but it's a lot easier.

"Okay, you go down to play, there are two trains at nine o'clock, there is one train at ten twenty, we only have two chances a day, hurry up, you go down to play." Makoto Shinkai raised his hand, looked at the time, and after giving instructions to Bai Xue Jia and Tsukasa Nishino, he turned around and went to arrange the preparation of photography, props, etc.

There was still an hour until nine o'clock.

Bai Xuejia glanced at Tsukasa Nishino, who was also looking at him, and Bai Xuejia asked her, "How is the play?"

Bai Xue Jia and Aragaki Ayase have played against each other, but they are all according to the script and the lines are used to experience the performance feeling.

There is no script now, and it doesn't mean that the two play willfully and play their own roles. It's about unifying the understanding and feelings of the two people about the story, so that the embarrassing situation of "throwing flattering eyes to the blind" will not occur.

Tsukasa Nishino didn't answer, looked at the track in the middle of the set, and suddenly said, "Railroad tracks." ”

Bai Xuejia was stunned, what does this mean?

Guess the riddle?

He also looked at the railroad tracks, two tracks, next to each other, parallel to each other, and his heart moved, and he said, "Fate!"

Bai Xue Jia didn't know if this was deliberately chosen by Makoto Shinkai, or if it was a coincidence, but looking at the two railroad tracks, Bai Xue Jia thought of the fate of Guishu and Akari.

"Chance encounter. Tsukasa Nishino looked at Bai Xue Jia, and his clear eyes stared into Bai Xue Jia's eyes.

"Origin. Bai Xuejia then said that in more than ten years, when the 26-year-old Guishu and Akari met again by the railway, it seemed to return to the origin of the story - in the story, Guishu and Akari had to go to school when they were children on this railway.

"Passed by. ”

"Fate on both sides. ”

Tsukasa Nishino and Shirakukata looked at each other and smiled.

……

"What are they doing?" Dongcheng Yui looked at Bai Xuejia and Nishino Si with their eyes facing each other, and asked very gossipy.

"Probably, it's a joke. Adou Miho said as she looked over there.

"What's the show?" asked Yui Tojo again.

"Before the main actors perform together for the first time, in order to make the play more complete, they do not travel on stage, and most of them rehearse the words or walk on the stage once, without makeup or accompaniment, which is called a duet. Yadou Miho explained.

Dongcheng Yui looked at Bai Xuejia and Nishino Division, and then stared at Yadou Miho, with an expression of "I don't read much, don't lie to me", and the smart eyes seemed to say: Are you sure they are playing against each other, not **?

Aragaki Ayase was absent-minded, and suddenly asked Miho Adou: "Do you know a lot about filming?"

Miho Adou nodded noncommittally, and Ayase Aragaki turned her head to look at Miho Adou and asked curiously, "I don't know what works Miss Miho Adou has filmed?"

Yadou Miho smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "Not yet, I just took the exam of the Emperor Shadow." ”

"Not yet" means not now, not necessarily in the future, and she said that she had taken the exam of Emperor Shadow, obviously preparing to develop in this industry.

"In this way, we will be together from now on, and I ask Miss Yadou Miho to take care of me. Ayase Aragaki smiled.

Yadou Miho smiled: "You can already play a supporting role, so please take care of it." ”

……

The train can be used with special effects, or editing, and you don't have to wait for the train, but Makoto Shinkai pursues reality, so he needs the most realistic and direct scene of the actor when the train arrives.

It was already past nine o'clock, the train was late, and the person who was arranged in front of the railway called Makoto Shinkai and saw the shadow of the train, so Makoto Shinkai immediately asked everyone to take their seats.

“action！”

The last scene.

On the roof of the building, the props team collected several baskets of cherry blossoms and threw them downward.

The weather was nice, with a light breeze and the cherry blossoms falling slowly like rain.

Bai Xue Jia stood on one side of the railway, and Tsukasa Nishino stood on the other side of the railway, and the two faced each other and walked in the opposite direction.

At this time, it was the time when Guishu had just resigned and just broken up, freed himself from the shackles of pain and numbness, and was relaxed.

The black and white world seems to add color, and a qiē is so gorgeous in the eyes.

Bai Xuejia's eyes opened slightly compared to when he was filming a one-man show, and the amplitude was not large, but it changed from "pain" and "numbness" to "gentleness" and "light".

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Tsukasa Nishino stared ahead, smiling as well.

The two passed each other and walked to the other side of the track, but stopped at the same time.

The two were back to back, the train was approaching, and the roller pole slowly fell, separating the two.

There was no hint, but they had a heart, listening to the sound of the train whistling, and the two turned around in unison.

Tsukasa Nishino raised his hand and gently pressed his windswept hair, the ring on his ring finger, which shimmered in the sun.

Immediately, the train roared in.

Both of them are worried about each other, so they will turn back.

However, the roaring train separates the two like all kinds of difficulties in reality.

Bai Xue Jia looked at the train, and a section of carriages sped away in front of Bai Xue Jia, each section of the carriage was different, but there was no change, as if it was reflecting the heart of Guishu. Standing next to the railway, it was as if he had stopped in the past, and in his eyes, the same carriage was actually not the same, he had no intention of entering, and the carriage would not stop, so it was gone in a blink of an eye.

One train was unfinished, and another train entered Baixuega's field of vision from the opposite direction.

The two railways, just like the fate of Guishu and Akari, are two parallel lines, and the two pass by. At the moment of passing by, the two were very close, but after all, the two went in different directions and went to different places.

When the train finally left, there was no one on the other side of Bai Xuejia.

Bai Xuejia's expression changed slightly, there was a faint sense of loss, but it was not strong or obvious, as if he had been searching for more than ten years of questions, and finally got the answer, but it was not the same as what he expected, but getting the answer finally made people's confused heart find its direction.

Then he smiled lightly, free and relieved.

Akari left - the happiness I once felt was the best memory. Precious, but Akari didn't imprison herself in the past, life is not only the past, she has now found her own happiness.

There are two answers that Guishu gets, one is waiting for Akari, and the other is the source of his own pain, but the two answers are actually the same. He didn't know Akari's answer, so he stayed in the past, accepting the new happiness made him feel a sense of betrayal, because of his family, he had always been lonely, and he felt deeply painful about the feeling of betrayal.

Akari's departure is not only to tell Sù Guishu her choice, but also to ask Guishu: I let go, what about you?

The train passes, and the roller bar rises.

There was no longer a way to block it, and the noble tree could catch up, but Bai Xue Jia did not move.

Because Guishu finally got the answer, he let it go.

Bai Xuejia turned, and like the two trains that had just met, he continued in his direction, smiling brightly and his eyes shining with hope.

Behind it, cherry blossoms fall.

Cherry blossoms, spring.

The fall of the cherry blossoms is the end and the fall.

Spring is the beginning and a new birth.

In two months, "5 Centimeters per Second" was finally completed!
