Chapter 9 Life is like a play, and drama is like life

Bai Xuejia thought that filming was very simple, and he just did his duty in accordance with the requirements of the script and the director.

But when the flower seedling played by Aragaki Ayase stood in front of him, looking at each other, he could see Aragaki Ayase's curvature of the eyelashes, and he could see Aragaki Ayase's starlight-dotted pupils reflected in his own wooden expression.

When she heard Guishu's invitation to go home with her, the corners of her mouth rose with a smile arc, as if she was deliberately holding back but couldn't suppress her joy.

Bai Xuejia suddenly became overwhelmed, his heart seemed to be touched, and he had a little enlightenment, but it seemed that it was still a fog.

“cut!”

"Aragaki, good acting. However, when you are waiting for your tree but you haven't seen it yet, don't look forward to it too much. Hua Miao likes Guishu very much, but she also feels the distance between herself and Guishu. Try to bring out the confusion and the depression of not being able to stand beside Guishu and the firm expression of wanting to be with Guishu. ”

Makoto Shinkai gestured to Ayase Aragaki, who nodded and said, "Okay, director." ”

Then, Makoto Shinkai looked at Bai Xue Jia and said, "Bai Xue Jia, your expression is too stiff, don't be too nervous. ”

When he was in the classroom, Bai Xuejia was not the main scene, and he didn't feel anything when he was in the audience. But when standing with Aragaki Ayase, Bai Xuejia felt the pressure.

Aragaki Ayase is like a flower seedling, and Shirakuka...... Or Bai Xuejia.

Bai Xuejia is a very serious person, since he has received money, of course he will not be perfunctory, not only to do it seriously, but also to do it well. But the more he paid attention to his movements, the more stiff he became, and even he himself clearly felt a sense of incongruity.

The last afterglow of the sunset also disappeared from the sky, and it took dozens of times to NG for this short scene, and finally it was barely completed.

Makoto Shinkai frowned, still not satisfied with the result. There should have been some night scenes in the evening, but Bai Xuejia was completely out of shape, so he waved his hand: "Call it a day." ”

Bai Xuejia walked over and said guiltily: "Sorry for delaying everyone." ”

Filming is not a one-person business, and every NG delays the time of everyone in the entire crew.

After all, Bai Xuejia is acting for the first time, and he is also a student who has never had any acting experience, and Xinkai Makoto also understands that the requirements for Bai Xuejia cannot be too high.

"Take a good rest when you go back, adjust your mindset and experience what it was like to shoot today. Makoto Shinkai patted Bai Xue Jia on the shoulder.

Bai Xuejia thought about it and said what made him feel confused: "I tried hard to do it according to the requirements of the script, but I couldn't act well." ”

Makoto Shinkai paused and said, "I don't know how to perform, I can only tell you the effect I need, and you have to think about how to act." ”

The crew packed up their equipment and returned to the hotel, and the two walked side by side, Bai Xuejia suddenly asked Xinhai Cheng: "Why did you find me?"

Makoto Shinkai stopped and looked at him sideways: "Don't want to act?"

Bai Xuejia stopped, shook his head, and said, "Of course not, you will give money anyway." It's just strange, I can't act, wouldn't it be better if I was an actor like Ayase Aragaki?"

"Hmm...... Feel. Makoto Shinkai was silent for a moment, and suddenly said an inexplicable word, "The feeling you gave me is very much in line with Guishu, so I invited you, it's as simple as that." ”

“…… That's what it feels like. Bai Xuejia was speechless, after reading the script, he didn't feel that he had anything similar to Guishu.

Makoto Shinkai hid a smile in his eyes: "It's the feeling of "5 centimeters per second", I can't understand it, I can only experience it." ”

Bai Xuejia couldn't understand what it felt, but he realized that Makoto Shinkai exuded an aura that was very dangerous for males.

So Bai Xuejia ended the conversation with Makoto Shinkai very sensibly and stayed away from this source of danger.

Bai Xuejia doesn't know acting, what exactly is acting?

Life is like a play, and drama is like life.

A person's life is like a play, and when the play is over, the life is over.

The story deduced in the play is also a life.

Bai Xuejia thinks that perhaps the so-called performance is to interpret a life.

So what kind of life is Guishu's life?

Because of his parents' work, Guishu always changes schools, and the surrounding environment is constantly changing, and the surrounding Qiē is full of strangeness and alienation for him. Even if you have friends, you will lose them quickly. So, he was alone.

When Akari, who had a similar experience to him, appeared in front of his eyes, it was as if he had finally found a companion, and the gray world suddenly bloomed with color.

That joy made his heart sprout ignorant feelings.

He didn't know what kind of feelings it was, but he knew that as long as he was with Akari, he was happy.

When Akari disappeared from his life again, it was like a person who had finally seen the color and lost the color again, he was very painful, he was unwilling!

So he went to find Akari, but what if he found it?

They are just two children, with nothing, and their parents and families keep them together. In the happiness of getting together again, confusion about life and the future has been born.

When Guishu changes schools again and completely loses contact with Akari, Guishu returns to the situation before he met Akari. He has become lonely again, and at the same time, this loneliness also hides the bitterness of gaining happiness and losing, as well as the confusion of an uncertain future.

The noble tree man is here, but the place where he is looking is not here.

Hua Miao works very hard, but for Guishu, he is just like the strange classmates he met after transferring countless times, a girl who doesn't know when he will disappear from his life.

The lonely heart seems to have built a wall.

Outside the wall, there is a gray reality, and the flower seedling is an inconspicuous one among the countless figures.

Inside the walls, there are colorful memories, and there are only two people there, one is him and the other is Akari.

……

The next day, the campus.

The crew is ready.

Filming of the early morning scene.

Similar to last night, Hua Miao came to the campus early, hid behind a tree, and went out to say hello after seeing the noble tree on the basketball court that came to the school earlier.

"Xue Jia, how's it going?" asked Makoto Shinkai.

Bai Xuejia made an OK gesture to him and said, "No problem!"

Makoto Shinkai nodded, and then punched in the scene: "action!"

Aragaki Ayase carefully hid behind a tree like a girl in her first love, glanced at Bai Xue Jia secretly, and then calmed down her rapid breathing because she was in a hurry, clenched her fists hard, as if to cheer herself up, and then relaxed her body and walked out.

Bai Xuejia provoked, shot, and the white net made a wave.

"Good morning. Bai Xue Jia saw Aragaki Ayase coming over, smiled indifferently, and said hello.

A strange aura rushed towards Aragaki Ayase, and she felt her body suddenly tense and opened her mouth, but she suddenly forgot what she wanted to say.

“cut!”

Makoto Shinkai frowned and looked at Ayase Aragaki suspiciously.

"Aragaki, what's wrong with you?"
