Chapter 158 "Your Name" Filming Begins
May 10, Dali, Yunnan.
As dawn broke, the ancient city was still asleep.
Fu Yibai stood on the terrace on the third floor of the inn, leaning against the railing, watching the outline of the Cangshan Mountains in the distance gradually illuminated by the morning light.
Below us are traditional houses with blue tiles and white walls, where the occasional crowing of roosters can be heard, mixed with the rustling of leaves in the wind.
I heard soft footsteps behind me.
He didn't turn around.
The footsteps stopped two steps behind, followed by a suppressed gasp.
"Fu...fu guide?"
It was Jing Tian's voice, carrying the languor of someone just waking up and a surprised expression of disbelief.
Fu Yibai turned around.
Jing Tian stood at the entrance to the terrace, wearing a white cotton nightgown with a light blue cardigan casually over it, and rabbit slippers on her feet. Her hair was disheveled and loose.
She paused for two seconds, then looked down at her outfit and blushed instantly.
"I...I didn't know you were here..."
She turned around and was about to run back.
"stop."
Jing Tian stopped in her tracks, turned her back to him, and her ears turned bright red.
Fu Yibai chuckled.
"Why are you running? I didn't come to see you."
Jing Tian turned around, her face still flushed, but her eyes gleamed with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.
"Then what are you looking at here?"
"Look at the mountains."
Fu Yibai turned around again, leaned against the railing, and looked down at the distant Cangshan Mountain.
Jing Tian didn't say anything more.
The two stood there, watching the sky gradually brighten in the distance, the outline of the Cangshan Mountains becoming clearer and clearer, and the clouds being tinged with a light gold.
A breeze blows by, carrying the unique coolness of the early morning and the scent of fresh grass.
Jing Tian shuddered and instinctively hugged her arms tightly.
Fu Yibai glanced at her, took off his coat, and draped it over her shoulders.
Jing Tian's body stiffened.
The coat still carried his body heat and a faint scent of laundry detergent.
She lowered her head, buried her face in the collar of her coat, and spoke in a muffled voice.
"Thank you, Brother Yibai."
"Go back and put on your makeup."
There will be an opening ceremony this morning.
"Oh, I almost forgot!"
Goodbye, Yi Bai.
Jing Tian turned and ran away, her rabbit slippers making soft thumping sounds on the wooden floor.
At 10:00 a.m., the opening ceremony for "Your Name" was held in front of the inn.
The reporters were most interested in the fact that Fu Yibai would personally play the male lead.
"Director Fu, this is your first time playing the male lead. What prompted you to make this decision?"
"An invitation from Miss Jing Tian."
"Director Fu, which do you think is more difficult, acting or directing?"
"Both are difficult."
"Director Fu, what are your expectations for the box office?"
"We'll talk about it after we finish filming."
After dealing with the reporters, Fu Yibai led the main creative team to the first filming location.
The main scenes of Mitsuha were filmed in Dali.
Fu Yibai chose Shanghai as the setting for the story of Taki.
The first scene is in Mitsuha's room.
The room was small and simply furnished.
A wooden bed, a wardrobe, a full-length mirror, a desk with several books and a photo frame on it.
The photographer is adjusting the camera position, the lighting technician is adjusting the lights, and the script supervisor is checking the script.
Jing Tian sat on the edge of the bed, holding the script in her hand and muttering to herself.
Fu Yibai walked over.
"nervous?"
Jing Tian looked up, nodded, then shook her head.
"A little."
"It's normal. It's her first time playing the lead role, so it's understandable to be nervous."
Fu Yibai sat down next to her.
"But as nervous as you are, once the camera turns on, you are Sanye, not Jingtian."
"The first scene is you waking up in bed with a start; you need to create a sense of confusion and unfamiliarity."
"Understood, Director Fu!"
"Very good, scene one, shot one, action!"
The clapperboard clicked, and the camera focused on Jing Tian on the bed.
She lay in bed with her eyes closed, breathing rapidly, and beads of sweat on her forehead.
Mitsuha woke up with a start, sprang from the bed, and looked around the room in a daze.
My gaze fell on the room's furnishings—the wardrobe, the desk, the window.
strangeness.
It felt like I was seeing these for the first time.
She looked down at her hands, then at her pajamas.
A sense of bewilderment was mixed with confusion.
"Card!"
Fu Yibai's voice came from behind the monitor.
Jing Tian's body stiffened, and her expression instantly fell.
"Oh no, I'm definitely not going to pass..."
"very good."
Fu Yibai walked over.
"The emotions are there. Ready for the next shot."
Jing Tian paused for two seconds, then a smile bloomed on her face.
"real?!"
"Um.
The next shot is your sister pushing the door open and you saying your lines.
Are you ready?
"Ready!"
The clapperboard sounded again.
As Yotsuba pushed open the door, she happened to see Mitsuha clutching her chest with both hands.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
"Kaka! Jing Tian, do you have to be so shy?"
What's there to be ashamed of touching yourself? It's not like you're touching someone else.
"I'm sorry, Director Fu."
I was wrong."
"Make some adjustments, and remember to say your lines."
As soon as your sister finishes asking you a question, you should immediately respond in a natural manner.
Before you could react, your hands were still clenched in front of your chest.
"Okay, I understand."
The stage manager struck the clapperboard for the third time.
Jing Tian does have some talent for acting.
This time she was in a better state.
Soon, the day was over.
Today's filming progress was acceptable. Perhaps it was because the characters were a good fit, and Jing Tian worked hard, so there weren't many takes, which was still within Fu Yibai's acceptable range.
