I live my life in Tokyo

"'You', you don't understand anything! I obviously, obviously hate being myself! I absolutely hate it!"

"There's no way I can be the person you want Hong-chan to be!"

The girl uttered the last words in her heart, tears dripping down her face. She quickly stood up and left the table. After wiping her tears in front of the door, only the sound of the door closing was left.

Sakakibara Kaede half stood up, staring at the direction the girl left, clenched his right fist, supported on the table, and gritted his teeth silently.

As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the boy took a deep breath, turned his attention back to his homework, and started writing again.

He needed to have a heart-to-heart talk with the girl, but not now.

The mask has been worn for too long and has grown onto the face. It would be painful to remove it.

The boy looked up. The numbers and geometry that had fascinated him were no longer attractive to him. He felt a sudden panic in his heart.

The boy covered his chest with his hands. He didn't know what this sour and painful feeling was.

Chapter 42: The Value of Action Acting

“It still doesn’t feel emotional enough.”

"Hiss... But I think there is nothing wrong with Sakurajima-senpai's performance. Whether it's the tears or the crying voice, for me, it's an impact of emotional acting."

The tight shooting paused for a while, and senior Sakurajima returned to the classroom after hearing Aoyama Hiroshi's instructions. She frowned slightly, but there was no excitement or guilt between her brows. Instead, she thought that her performance was not good.

"You have completely exposed my fake face. This is the appearance that Nishida Cheng has been pursuing for many years and has recognized and maintained. She wants to help others more. Sometimes she will not give up even if she is exhausted, because this is the only way for her to be popular."

Mai Sakurajima was making gestures. She was trying hard to put herself into the shoes of Nishida Orange again after a scene ended, to feel the character's inner world, and to analyze while making gestures.

"Is it a little too childish to be told by my closest childhood friend that he doesn't like me this way? Arguing with my whole heart and crying is a little too childish?"

Mai Sakurajima looked at Kaede Sakakibara, her indigo eyes wide open, as if waiting for the latter to give a response.

"Anyone would collapse if their way of survival was denied. If it were me, I would probably be depressed for several days and wouldn't even be able to enjoy my meals." Sakakibara Kaede nodded in agreement.

The intention to help others is good, but if you lose your own rest time to help them, or help others at all costs, people will think that this person is too contemptuous.

Nishida Orange in the TV series has already shown this trend.

"Yeah, see, you think so too. Sure enough, my performance just now was not up to standard."

Mai Sakurajima held her chin and muttered to herself, "Hmm... How about I modify my movements and change it to stumbling out of the classroom, what do you think, Sakakibara-senpai?"

"No, Nishida Orange's loss will not be revealed in action."

Before she finished, Mai Sakurajima denied herself again. She looked at Kaede Sakakibara's face, frowned slightly, and asked tentatively, "Do you think Nishida Orange will attack his childhood sweetheart when he collapses?"

Sakakibara Kaede immediately shrank back and took a defensive stance, crossing his hands in front of him and spreading his antifield. "If you have anything to say, just talk it over. Don't use force."

"Well... to be honest, the fight on campus only reminds me of Ito Makoto, but he was beheaded on the rooftop because of a scumbag... How about a slap in the face? No, that's too gossipy, not like Nishida Orange at all."

The man heard the girl's mumbling and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least his face was saved.

The actors in the audio-visual room heard the two leading actors still arguing about their understanding of the roles. They had just seen their acting skills, and Qingshan Yang, who was always demanding of actors, did not say anything, but they could not help but click their tongues.

They all share the same passion and professionalism for acting, which has been their goal since entering the industry. But ask them, would they want to reshoot a scene that the director has approved?

Mai Sakurajima's enthusiasm for work is evident.

Aoyama nodded slowly. He repeatedly watched the scenes shot from different angles and said, "To be honest, the scenes just now were well acted. There were no problems with the facial expressions or body movements. But if you want to try, Sakurajima-kun, there is plenty of time today. You can try it freely before lunch. The afternoon sun is backlit, so it is not suitable to continue filming this scene."

"Thank you, Director Aoyama."

Mai Sakurajima changed the address at work. She held her chin and pondered for a while. After thinking for a moment, she looked at Kaede Sakakibara and said, "Junior Sakakibara, I think we can have some physical contact during the scene."

"Pulling a limb? Pulling an arm? You want me to hold you or something?"

The man stared, not really understanding what Sakurajima Mai meant.

"How is that possible?" The girl snorted. "You are the actor who plays Kitahara Hiroshi. You should naturally immerse yourself in the role. If you were Kitahara Hiroshi and saw Nishida Orange crying, how would you react?"

"I'll think about going to the dock and getting some chips later."

"Hey!" Sakurajima Mai pointed at Sakakibara Kaede's face in dissatisfaction, "Sakakibara junior, you won't be able to find a girlfriend like this."

"And your perspective is Kitahara Hiroshi, not Sakakibara Kaede." She snorted, "Kitahara Hiroshi ended up marrying Nishida Orange, so it might be difficult for you."

"What I pursue is never love." Sakakibara Feng sat behind his desk, crossed his legs and smiled contemptuously, "Love is not such an inconvenient thing. Instead of pursuing that skinny and non-existent love, I might as well go and re-promote the game of Yuzu Club."

"Wow, Sakakibara-san is actually a two-thorn monkey..."

"Kora, apologize to all the 2D people in the world!"

After interrupting for a few sentences, Sakakibara Kaede cleared his throat and said, "If you want me to keep you, you can give it a try. This will also pave the way for Kitahara Hiro's next plot. Let the audience realize that Kitahara Hiro is changing, improving, and growing over time. He gradually walked out of the winter of being alone and raised his hand to embrace you who is like spring."

The man smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Mai Sakurajima, who nodded with a smile. She looked towards the camera and said, "Director Aoyama, what do you think? We want to try again."

"There's absolutely no problem using physical contact to increase the expression, but the degree of control still depends on your own acting skills... Camera crew, take your positions, and shoot according to the angle and position just now." The first half of the sentence was an affirmation of Sakurajima Mai, and in the second half, Aoyama Hiroshi's tone turned formal, and he began to arrange the camera crew to take their positions and put up light blocks.

Sakakibara noticed that there were three different cameras beside him. He closed his eyes slightly, and at this time he could sense the location of the cameras without opening his eyes.

It’s like a game from a God’s perspective. Sakakibara Kaede memorizes the direction in which the camera moves, and then he will perform perfectly and become a god.

Thanks to Oshima Hide's individual teaching and the help of Sakurajima Mai's advertisement, the boy now had a vague idea of ​​where the camera was and how to move it next - he didn't need to look at the camera, the shooting angle automatically appeared in his mind.

This is a mysterious feeling, and it feels refreshing to have all the information in your hands.

The boy looked at Sakurajima Mai, who had wiped away her tears but whose eyes were still red. After discussing the plot with Sakakibara Kaede, she quickly left the classroom to find the makeup team to touch up her makeup.

This may not be serious, but it is just the most basic ethics for an actor.

No... Maybe this is what Mai Sakurajima said, like it.

Thinking of Nishida Orange, the man had similar experiences in the past, such as discovering that a top female classmate told her friends that she watched TV every night, but in fact she was very busy and studied until the early morning every day.

Or maybe the handsome and popular male classmate is actually a sea king behind the scenes.

Or maybe the dignified nun actually... Ahem, I'm getting off topic.

People have many sides and always have their own secrets. In the second dimension, people have given this phenomenon a new word: contrast cuteness.

Nishida Orange is undoubtedly a girl with a contrasting cuteness. She is usually dignified and gentle in college and treats her classmates politely. However, in private, she is a very casual girl with no sense of security.

Thinking about it this way, wasn't it a bit too much for Kitahara Hiro to expose Nishida Orange's mask? After all, the two were childhood sweethearts, so it was unnecessary, right?

Nishida Orange uses his own way and mask to build good relationships with everyone.

She was the type, as the man had said that night, who was aware of popular things, practiced her tone of voice, and tried hard to make herself lovable.

However, when the man put himself in Kitahara Hiroshi's shoes, he would make the same choice.

People don't need to live for others.

You only need a few close friends. By showing your true self and opening your heart, you can gain more close classmates and friends.

Nishida Orange is an awkward existence in the school. Sooner or later, she will collapse and destroy herself. Before that, as her childhood sweetheart, Kitahara Hiroshi has the responsibility to help her. Even if she holds a grudge against him in the future and their relationship is no longer the same as before, Kitahara Hiroshi still has to speak out, and Sakakibara Kaede still has to speak out.

"Don't pretend to understand me when you clearly don't know anything!"

Sakurajima Mai shed tears again. She stood up suddenly and was about to leave with a flick of her sleeves.

The young man was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed Sakurajima Mai's hand, but he didn't pay attention and used too much force, and directly pulled Sakurajima Mai into his arms, and fell to the ground with her.

"Ow!"

The man let out a deafening scream, and Sakurajima Mai's elbow happened to press on his ribs on his chest. Sakakibara Kaede suddenly felt like he was hit by a truck.

Mr. Truck, so this is how you came here?

The human body is amazing, right?

No matter how wonderful it is, it can't beat the oncoming truck.

When the boy was breathing out more than breathing in and slowly closed his eyes and fell into sleep, Sakurajima Mai hit his shoulder angrily with murderous eyes.

"Am I that heavy? Why are you screaming like a pig being slaughtered?"

"Uh..." The boy swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat. He looked at Sakurajima Mai with dangerous eyes. If he said anything, she would be like a truck hitting him head-on, and she would probably strangle him with both hands.

Qingshan Yang slapped his thigh and laughed out loud. The extras in the audio-visual room burst into laughter when they saw such a dramatic scene. The camera and lighting crews outside the venue couldn't help laughing as well.

"You're using too much force!" Mai Sakurajima lay on Kaede Sakakibara, supported her upper body and stood up, then sat on the ground, blushing and rubbing her wrist in dissatisfaction. Wasn't this emotion brewing in vain, and the tears shed in vain? Can I ask the boy to pay for my tears?

"Ahem, this proves that my training is effective. It looks like I'll be able to fight with Mr. Hiratsuka soon." The boy acted like a master at first, but then changed his tone and said apologetically, "Sorry, sorry, I saw you act so seriously, and I felt that your movements should be more realistic."

Sakakibara Kaede helped Sakurajima Mai up, looked out the window and whistled, "Shame on you."

"Why don't you show sincerity in your apology... Use your acting skills to apologize and start this part over again!" Sakurajima Mai pointed at the boy dissatisfiedly and left the classroom again to touch up her makeup.

"...good"

When Mai Sakurajima returned to the classroom to start filming again, this time the man controlled his strength. He grabbed Nishida Orange's sleeve, and the latter struggled for a few times - but failed to get away. She was pulled into Kitahara Hiroshi's arms, and the two looked at each other affectionately, and then their lips slowly moved closer... This is a normal Korean TV drama plot.

OHHHHHH.

However, this is a Japanese drama, and the two are high school students. The daily lives of our high school students are youth-oriented, so such scenes are impossible to appear.

The fact is, Sakurajima Mai snorted, shook off the man's hand, wiped her tears, knocked over a few desks, and left the classroom with tears in her eyes.

Looking at the crooked desk, the boy put himself in her shoes and felt sorry for Mai Sakurajima.

The solid wood tabletop and iron rods hurt when bumped into. . .

The boy sighed.

"CUT!"

Qingshan Yang's satisfied voice came from the radio, "This segment's performance is very exaggerated. Exaggerated here means it's much better than before. You guys take a break first, come to the audio-visual room to see the results of the filming, and take a break."

Mai Sakurajima took the towel from the crew member and padded her sore eyes with the warm, wet towel. The two of them came to the audio-visual room, sat on the soft sofa, and their originally tense bodies gradually relaxed.

The big screen in the audio-visual room was playing different clips that the two had just acted out. They performed several different versions of their scenes together, and each version had its merits.

Qingshan Yang's job now is to extract the essence and discard the dross. He will write down the good shots in a notebook, and he will also mark the bad shots and ask the filming crew to shoot from a different angle.

"Are you okay?" the boy asked meaningfully, his eyes still fixed on the screen.

Sakurajima Mai smiled quietly and said softly, "I've experienced similar scenes before. When I bumped into the table and chair just now, I was actually pushing them away with my hands. The camera couldn't capture my front view, so it looked like my body bumped into the wooden table because of the angle."

"It's good that it's not hurt."

"Don't underestimate the seniors." Mai Sakakijima acted like a senior, "Sakakibara, you still have a lot to learn."

"Go ahead and learn, brother. Learning never ends." The man followed.

She held the towel in her hand, playing with it, watching the two pushing and shoving each other, and looked thoughtful, "Sakakibara-san, why don't you be a little rougher and use more force, so that we can act out the feeling of failure just now - of course I will struggle hard, and that will look better."

"彳庍口巴."

Men always have a positive opinion of Mai Sakurajima's professional attitude.

But when Sakurajima Mai eagerly said, "She's going to punch you a few times to make the scene look more realistic," the original five-star rating was reduced to four and a half stars.

Chapter 43: Wanting to be a Hero

The man stared up at the sky dully, with a pinch of cotton stuffed in his nose.

Life is like a marathon. If you use up all your energy in the first ten kilometers, how can you finish the rest of the way? Exerting too much energy may make you run faster for a while, but it does not mean you can run far. - Wozniacki Schod

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Mai Sakurajima walked quickly to the rest area, holding an ice pack and a pack of tissues in her hands. At this time, the popular actress handed the paper to the man like a junior high school girl who had made a mistake, accepting the judgment that came.

"Sakurajima-senpai... you're so energetic."

Sakakibara Kaede's muffled voice made Sakurajima Mai blush and she apologized in a low voice, "Well... I wasn't mentally prepared for you to be so rough all of a sudden, and my body reacted automatically."

"How terrible! It's terrible to have such a violent childhood friend."

"sorry."

A blood-red palm print appeared on the boy's originally fair face, and half of his face felt slightly numb. The faint pain reminded him all the time that he was still alive.

Sakakibara Kaede looked at the ice pack in confusion. He had never used this thing when he had a nosebleed. It was something that could be solved with a few napkins and tilting his head back. He was not used to such delicate methods.

After changing a tissue, the man looked up at the sky, surprised by Sakurajima Mai's frankness. They had been bickering back and forth, so why did she surrender before the fight?

Hiro Aoyama held back his laughter and came to Sakakibara Kaede to check on the third male actor. Each take was more intense than the last, and the last take was too free-spirited, and ended with a loud slap.
