Chapter 10 The Feelings I Want
In the eyes of others, Bai Xuejiake was not as stiff as before, and he acted naturally. He thought he could just pass it once, but Aragaki Ayase, who had always performed very well, suddenly lost the chain, as if he had forgotten the words, standing there.
Others may not feel it, but Aragaki Ayase faced Bai Xuejia and was shrouded in Bai Xuejia's gaze. She felt the breath that was most direct, clear, and deeply the most profound.
It was like a small pool yesterday, but when I walked in today I suddenly realized that the surrounding land was infinitely gone, and the small pool became a vast ocean. The calm sea water wrapped her heavily, and the suffocation surrounded her. No matter how she struggled, she was just doing futile and useless work, looking up at the increasingly weak light, sinking into the deep sea little by little, and unable to stir up any waves.
What is the performance?
For Aragaki Ayase herself, that is imitation. Aragaki Ayase likes movies very much and is also very talented. Although she is very young and has no experience, she will work hard and carefully observe everything around her, observe what different people look like when they eat, walk, tone and expression when they speak. In this way, when she needs it, she will find a suitable template from her observation and imitate it.
However, when she stood in front of Bai Xuejia, she was frightened to find that the experiences she observed were like a small boat swaying on the turbulent sea, shattered under the attack of the waves, and she could not imitate anything.
"Director, I'm sorry, I'll do it again." Aragaki Ayase apologized to everyone in the director and crew.
Why is this happening?
Aragaki Ayase didn't know what was going on like this. She glanced at Bai Xuejia, then looked away and returned to the back of the tree where the camera started. I wonder if it was an illusion, but she felt that Bai Xuejia was very different today, but she couldn't tell what was different.
Aragaki Ayase clenched her fists, let go, clenched again, and took a few deep breaths.
Ayase, you can do it, don't be nervous!
She cheered herself silently in her heart, nodded to the director, and with a "action", she walked out again.
...
“cut!”
“cut!”
“cut!”
"What's wrong with Aragaki today? He's completely out of shape."
During the break, the photographer chatted with Shinkai Makoto.
Aragaki Ayase wanted to be quiet, and sat alone in the corner, looking depressed. Although the others said nothing, she seemed to be anxious to cry.
Makoto Shinkai looked at Aragaki Ayase, then looked at Bai Xuejia who was chatting with the rest of the crew, and said with a faint smile: "It's not that Aragaki is not in the state, but Xue Jiatai is in the state."
To be fair, Aragaki Ayase's performance was OK several times. If it weren't for Shiratsuka, Makoto Shinkai might have passed.
However, the one standing in front of her was Bai Xuejia, and she was a Bai Xuejia who was rushing upwards for some reason, as if she had eaten a bunch of Golden Cicada Kings.
Putting the two people in one shot is like Aragaki Ayase is a newcomer who has never acted in a play. Everyone's attention will unconsciously focus on Bai Xuejia, and even Aragaki Ayase's own rhythm will not be led away by Bai Xuejia involuntarily.
Simply put, this is infectiousness. The infectiousness of an excellent actor can not only infect the audience outside the screen, but also infect the crew and actors during filming. In other words, it is aura.
Makoto Shinkai didn't know how Bai Xuejia, who had never acted in a play, mastered this technique, but he did have aura. From the camera, it was impossible to see that Bai Xuejia was "acting", as if it had been integrated with the surrounding environment. It seemed that it was not a movie, but a documentary. It was not a play by Bai Xuejia, but a recording of the life of Kiki.
This is exactly what Makoto Shinkai wants!
No... Bai Xuejia's performance has far exceeded Shinkai's expectations.
However, even if one person’s acting skills explode, it is useless. Another matching opponent needs to set off. If the opponent is not strong enough, there is no qualification to set off. The sense of existence will be crushed and there is no residue left. What should I use to set off?
What this part needs to show is Hua Miao's youthful first love that is eager to speak but stops. If all the attention is attracted by Bai Xuejia, Hua Miao will be unwilling but helpless in the end, the emotions and atmosphere when she let go in pain will be far from reaching the effect that Shinkai Makoto wants.
Without such effects and preparation, the effect of climax may be lowered by several levels in the end.
Aragaki Ayase's condition is very poor, and if she continues to waste, it may be counterproductive. So Makoto Shinkai paused the opponent's scenes and gave priority to filming some separate scenes, so that Aragaki Ayase's mentality can be adjusted. When she was not acting against Sakura Ka, Aragaki Ayase performed very well, better than at the beginning. It seems that she has also made some progress from Sakura Ka.
However, as soon as she acted against Shiraki, Aragaki Ayase's condition quickly declined... The psychological pressure that Shiraki brought to her was too great. When acting, a look, a sentence, a smile, a frown, and an action would make her whole body tense. In a few minutes of scenes, she felt as if she had passed.
Even when I go to bed at night, I will be awakened by dreams.
So terrible.
Aragaki Ayase has the last part of her own scene. Hanaki likes to surf and originally planned to complete it with a stand-in, but Aragaki Ayase wants to complete it herself. When she got the script, she learned surfing for a while.
If Aragaki Ayase can complete it alone, the effect will naturally be better. Hanaki is just a surfing enthusiast and does not need to complete any difficult movements. She just needs to complete a surfing simply. So Makoto Shinkai agreed to Aragaki Ayase's request.
It's clear and moderate wind.
Perfect for surfing weather.
Aragaki Ayase changed into a surf suit and surf pants. The surf suit tightly wrapped Aragaki Ayase, with a slightly amplified bud on her chest in bud. The surfing library is shorts, revealing her slender beauty and legs. Because of practicing surfing, the sun is attached with a layer of healthy wheat yellow. It is neither thin nor fat, and it is slightly round, moist, and plump. It is full and slightly slim, full and full, full and full of youthful vitality.
After taking safety measures for Aragaki Ayase, the filming began.
Several simple sets of shots are basically passed in one go, and the last action is left. The rolled waves are turned downwards to form another channel composed of water, which Aragaki Ayase needs to pass through.
After waiting for a long time, I finally waited for a wave that could form the picture that Shinkai Makoto wanted.
Aragaki Ayase lies skillfully on the surfboard, paddling with her hands towards the rising waves, controlling the balance on the incline of the waves, and then stands up.
The waves were raised more than two meters high, and the waves were used to advance. The waves of the waves passed over her head, like the mouth of a giant beast, closed hard behind her. Aragaki Ayase's lively figure was like a shuttle, riding the wind and waves in the pursuit of the giant beasts in the ocean.
Aragaki Ayase looked ahead, the waves falling faster and faster, and the light became darker. In a trance, Aragaki Ayase remembered Bai Xuejia again... It was this, it was this feeling that it seemed to be about to swallow people.
Her body suddenly tensed, and the suffocation feeling came again, followed by a severe pain in her little legs.
She was cramping!
Shinkai Makoto was still immersed in Aragaki Ayase's outstanding performance and perfect surfing scenes, but suddenly saw Bai Xuejia running out like the wind. Before he could react, he saw a wave slapped and Aragaki Ayase's trace was lost in the camera.
