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

Bai Xuejia thought filming was simple, everything was done according to the script and director's requirements, and it was enough to do it carefully.

But when Hanaki Aragaki Ayase's role as Hanaki, standing in front of him and looking at him, he could see Aragaki Ayase's eyelashes with a very small curve, and he could see his dull expression reflected in his pupils decorated with stars.

When she heard the invitation from Kishu to go home together, a smile rose on the corner of her mouth, as if she was deliberately trying to endure the secret joy but couldn't suppress it.

Bai Xuejia suddenly became at a loss. His heart seemed to be touched. With a little enlightenment, it seemed that he was still a fog.

“cut!”

"Aragaki, he performed well. However, when he was waiting for the Kiku tree but he had not seen it, don't look forward to it. Huami likes Kiku tree very much, but she also felt the distance between herself and Kiku tree. Try to show the confusion, the depression of being unable to stand beside Kiku tree, and the firmness of wanting to be with Kiku tree."

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

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

When he was in the classroom, Bai Xuejia was not the main part. He only had a line in the audience, and he didn't feel anything. But when he stood with Aragaki Ayase, Bai Xuejia felt the pressure.

Aragaki Ayase seems to be a real flower seedling, and Bai Xuejia... is still Bai Xuejia.

Bai Xuejia is a very serious person. Since he has collected money, he will certainly not be perfunctory. He not only has to do it seriously, but also does it well. But the more he pays attention to his actions, the more he becomes, the more stiff he becomes, and even he himself clearly feels incongruity.

The last afterglow of the setting sun also disappeared from the sky. Just a few short scenes were played dozens of times, and finally they were finally completed barely.

Shinkai Makoto frowned, still not satisfied with the result. There should be some scenes of the night at night, but Bai Xuejia was completely in a state of state, so he waved: "Stop work."

Bai Xuejia walked over and said guiltily: "Sorry, it's delaying everyone."

Filming is not a matter of one person. Every time NG is delayed, everyone in the entire crew is the time.

After all, it was Bai Xuejia's first time acting, and she was a student who had never had any acting experience. Shinkai Makoto knew that she should not have too high requirements for Bai Xuejia.

"After going back, take a good rest, adjust your mentality, and experience the feeling of shooting today." Shinkai Makoto patted Bai Xuejia's shoulder.

Bai Xuejia thought about it and said something that made him confused: "I tried hard to do it well according to the requirements of the script, but I couldn't act well no matter how hard it was."

Shinkai Makoto paused and said, "I can't perform either. I can only tell you the effect I need. If you want to perform, you have to think about it yourself."

The crew packed up the equipment and returned to the hotel. The two walked side by side. Bai Xuejia suddenly asked Shinkai Makoto: "Why did you come to me?"

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

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

"Well...feel." Shinkai Makoto was silent for a moment and suddenly said an inexplicable word, "The feeling you give me is very consistent with the Kiki, so I invited you, it's that simple."

"...What does that feel?" Bai Xuejia was speechless. After reading the script, he didn't feel that he had something similar to the Guishu.

There was a smile in Shinkai's eyes: "It's the feeling of "5cm in seconds". I can't explain it clearly, but I can only understand it."

Bai Xuejia couldn't understand what it felt, but he felt that Shinkai Makoto emitted a breath that was very dangerous for males.

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

Bai Xuejia doesn’t know how to perform, what is the performance?

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

A person’s life is like a play. After the play is finished, the life will end.

The story played in the play is also a life.

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

So what kind of life is a life of a noble tree?

Because of his parents' work, Guishu always transfers to school, the surrounding environment changes constantly, and everything around him is full of strangeness and alienation. Even if he has friends, he will soon be lost. Therefore, he is lonely.

When Mingri, who had similar experiences to him, appeared in front of him, it seemed as if he had finally found a companion, and the gray world suddenly burst into bright colors.

That joy made him feel confused.

He didn't know what kind of relationship it was, but he knew that as long as he was with Mingli, he would be happy.

When Mingli disappeared from his life again, it was like a person who had finally seen the color lost color again. He was in pain and he was unwilling to give up!

So he went to search for Akiri, but what if he found it?

They are just two children, nothing, and their parents and families, which makes them unable to be with them. The happiness of reunion has spawned confusion about life and the future.

When Takashi transferred to school again and completely lost contact with Akiri, Takashi returned to the situation before meeting Akiri. He became lonely again, and at the same time, this loneliness also contained the depression after gaining happiness and losing, as well as the confusion about the uncertain future.

The noble man is here, but the place he is watching is not here.

Hua Miao worked very hard, but for Guishu, he was just like the strange classmates he met after transferring countless times, a girl who would disappear from his life if she didn't know when.

The lonely heart seemed to build a wall.

Outside the wall, there is a gray reality, and the flower seedlings are the inconspicuous among countless figures.

Inside the wall is colorful memory, there are only two people there, one is him and the other is Mingli.

...

The next day, campus.

The crew is ready.

Filming early morning scenes begins.

It was similar to last night. Huamiao came to the campus early, hiding behind the tree, and saw the expensive trees that came to the school earlier on the basketball court, and walked out to say hello.

"Xue Jia, how is it?" asked Shinkai Makoto.

Bai Xuejia compared him with an OK gesture and said, "No problem!"

Shinkai nodded, then checked in: "action!"

Aragaki Ayase hid carefully behind the tree like a girl in her first love, secretly glanced at Shirakiga, then calmed down her breathing rapidly because she was anxious to come, clenched her fists tightly, as if she was cheering herself up, then relaxed her body and walked out.

Bai Xuejia picked up and shot, and the white nets were filled with waves.

"Good morning." Bai Xuejia saw Aragaki Ayase walking towards him, smiled calmly, and greeted him.

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

“cut!”

Makoto Shinkai frowned and looked at Aragaki Ayase in confusion.

"Aragaki? What's wrong with you?"
