When "Slam Dunk" was released in June, it first faced a fierce battle for animated films, and it first had to face Pixar's masterpiece "Flying House" released on the same day, and Disney's "Guinea Pig Agent", and then a week later, his opponent will be replaced by Blue Sky Studio's ace animation, the first two "Ice Age 3" with a box office of more than 800 million US dollars~~

Finally, at the end of the month, DreamWorks' magical masterpiece "How to Train Your Dragon", which is recognized as the strongest animated film of the year in the industry, will also be released, and it can be said that the box office prospects of "Slam Dunk" are unpredictable......

And after this month's animated film battle, it will be the next Black Pearl company's annual masterpiece "The Avengers", and in two weeks, Warner's strongest movie series "Harry Potter 6", as well as Paramount's sweeping movie, Michael Bay's "Transformers" series sequel, will also be released one after another.

The masterpieces of the three series of blockbuster movies will be decided in July, and then it will be a battle of 7 strong films......

At this time, the crew of "Slam Dunk" led by Li Xiaole successfully completed all the filming work, and the synchronous post-production was basically completed, Li Xiaole nested in the editing room every day and edited the film with Inoue Yuhiko, working more than 14 hours a day, but instead of feeling tired, they were full of interest all the time, sometimes arguing fiercely, sometimes shouting excitedly, and their hearty laughter could often be heard in the editing room.

Even Maki Horikita, who couldn't understand what they were thinking, understood that the filming of "Slam Dunk" this time was an extremely happy thing for the two of them.

The editing of "Slam Dunk" was fully completed, and the theatrical version was 128 minutes long, with a total of 131 minutes of credits including the opening and ending credits. The 131-minute video made their blood surging from beginning to end, and they were moved by everything on the set and in the editing room, even in the soundtrack room.

As a proper soundtrack for aura is very important for any type of movie, many highlights of the cartoon become boring without music, as the soundtrack of "Spirited Away" and "Castle in the Sky" Jean Hisaishi, who has focused on the soundtrack of animated films in recent years, and the Japanese animation film master Hayao Miyazaki has created countless classics, and this time he also created a beautiful and bloody soundtrack for "Slam Dunk - National Competition".

However, Li Xiaole did not completely use Hisaishi's soundtrack, he gathered the three bands in the original TV anime version, BAAD, wands, and Daikoku Moji, and re-recorded the original theme song and ending song for use in the movie version.

For these three original animations in "I Just Want to Stare at You", "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly", "Until the End of the World" Li Xiaole doesn't know how many times he has heard it, but what he wants is a little more of that live feeling in the music, his requirements are not so neat as the original, but to create a feeling of soul boiling like at the competition scene or concert site, with the most sincere heart where the affection is placed, and all the emotions should be used in the catharsis~~!

"This is not just a simple song, but the youth of a generation, although all of you have passed that age, but you must go back, return to that mood, and sing from the heart~~!" Li Xiaole asked the three groups of bands emotionally.

BAAD, wands, and Dahei Moji have already passed their peak, and even BAAD and wands have been disbanded for many years, this time Li Xiaole brought them over, they seem to have been depressed for a long time, and now they can finally play as they want, and release their enthusiasm ~~

Listening to the high-pitched strings of the long-lost electric guitar, they suddenly returned to that passionate era, Li Xiaole sat outside the recording studio, wearing a headset and listening to them enter the recording studio one by one, singing different versions and changing the three songs with different arrangements, but they couldn't get tired of listening to it, closing their eyes as if admiring the best sounds in the world, and their minds were full of shadows of their past student days.

After more than ten busy days, the crew finally completed the work in Japan, Li Xiaole and others are about to say goodbye to the Japanese crew, this night Li Xiaole invited all his friends in Japan to eat together on the top floor platform of the hotel, after three rounds of drinking, many Japanese staff untied their ties, and danced recklessly on the table, and everyone below laughed and clapped,

Only Horikita Maki's face was full of melancholy, and he had been secretly looking at Li Xiaole all the time, and there was a kind of reluctance in his eyes...... I saw that her cheeks were flushed, obviously slightly drunk, she shook her lips and seemed to hesitate, and just wanted to stand up, but was held down by someone on the arm.

"Don't do stupid things, sometimes a crush on this kind of thing will leave the best memories." Yuhiko Inoue, who was next to her, held her hand with one hand, and drank sake with a wine glass in the other, reminding in a low voice; "It's useless, you're too late to meet him."

Inoue Yuhiko has already seen that this little girl has been getting along with Li Xiaole day and night during this time, and she has been in love with him for a long time, in fact, this is normal, with Li Xiaole being such an excellent young man in all aspects, it is not surprising that Maki Horikita is fascinated by him, but it seems that Director Li himself didn't notice it at all.

"What's so late?" Maki Horikita sat down a little unconvinced, raised his wine glass and took a big drink, and said with a stubborn face: "Divorce is very common in the entertainment industry, how do you know that I don't have a chance." Then he raised his glass and muttered softly: "I wish him a speedy escape from the grave of love." ”

"It's not just love...... Inoue Yuhiko squinted his eyes and shook his head: "I can see that he has a Haruko in his heart, and your opponent is too strong......"

"I'm Haruko...... There were a few times when Xiaole-chan looked at me, I was stunned~" Maki Horikita stared at her beautiful eyes and pointed her finger at her face.

"You're not, he sees it as you, thinks it's Haruko, but in his heart it's another person." Inoue Yuhiko smiled: "You will never understand, when a man is young, he will meet a woman at a certain stage, this woman is very special to men, as long as you see her, you will feel that life becomes vivid and vivid, so that the whole life will become beautiful and splendid......

It's like Sakuragi sees Haruko at a glance, there is no reason, they just like her, they will change their bad habits for that woman, they will start dressing themselves, they will study hard, they will learn the piano, they will learn the guitar, they will do everything to make themselves better...... Just because of that person.

It's actually not about love, it's just that in the best stage of life, I met a beautiful person, and I was simply obsessed with that time......" Inoue Yuhiko also sighed when he said this: "Unfortunately, your opponent is Haruko in the life of Director Li......"

"I don't believe it, men like the new and hate the old~!" Maki Horikita put down the wine glass, blushed and raised his voice: "Even if Xiaole-chan likes a woman, he will get tired of it~!" I'll go to him now and take the initiative to give him a hug~~ I don't believe he can hold it~~"

Inoue Yuhiko knew that Maki Horikita was angry, but he wanted to pull her but didn't hold her, so he saw Maki Horikita walking over in a trance with a glass of sake, about to confess to Li Xiaole......

"Xiaole sauce ......" Maki Horikita swayed alongside Li Xiaole, plucked up the courage and said softly...... looked up, but found that Li Xiaole had noticed her at all, but looked intently at the girl in the notebook screen in front of her, talking, and the look was exactly the same as Sakuragi's expression when she saw Haruko.

At this moment, Li Xiaole was on a video call with Ha Ji Won, smiling at Ha Ji Won and said, "President Ha, remember, when I was in Danguo, didn't I tell you that sooner or later I will have to learn the theme song of "Slam Dunk"? ”

"That's all-Japanese......" Ha Ji Won was stunned when he heard it, Li Xiaole had a lot of braggings when he was in school, and this was indeed one of them.

Li Xiaole picked up the prepared guitar from the side, gently lifted it and put it on his lap, played, and gently hummed a beautiful melody:

"Running through the sunlit streets and passing by as usual~ For you, dreams don't need a reason~ There is nothing that binds your hands~~ One day I will start to be noticed and go crazy for you unwaveringly~ I want to shout like you~ I try to change tomorrow~~ Try to break the frozen time~ I want to shout like you~ Take courage~~ Please accept this fervent thought~~"

This song "I want to say I love you out loud" was taught to him by Li Xiaole in the later recorder period, let the guitarist of the BAAD band Shinichiro Ota teach him, this is one of his promises to Ha Ji Won, Ha Ji Won originally didn't watch anime, when he was in school in South Korea, he forced Ha Ji Won to accompany him to re-watch "Slam Dunk" a few times, Ha Ji Won's favorite is this song, so he specially learned this song.

Listening to Li Xiaole humming emotionally and sincerely, Ha Ji Won also seemed to return to the carefree time when the two of them nested in the student dormitory, when the two discussed acting skills, movies and other things every day, and their hearts were full of expectations for the future...... Think about it~ It was so beautiful at that time~~

Maki Horikita was stunned when she watched this scene from the side, watching Li Xiaole sing this song "I want to say I love you loudly" to another girl so emotionally, not only was she not angry, but she had a feeling that these two people were so beautiful together~ It's like the live-action version of Sakuragi and Haruko...... That kind of simple and sincere feeling is really different from the so-called love in the world...... It's hard to bear to spoil the atmosphere......

After Li Xiaole finished singing, Ha Ji Won also noticed Maki Horikita behind him in the camera at this time, squinted his eyes and said, "Hey...... There's a little Japanese beauty coming to you behind you. ”
