Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 151 Rain
People who don't like works like The Garden of Words will feel that the plot progresses too slowly after watching it for only two minutes and then choose to give up.

But those who like the movie will quickly be emotionally immersed in the atmosphere created by the movie once they watch it.

The plots of Makoto Shinkai's movies are never complicated. The Garden of Words: A Teacher-Student Love, 5 Centimeters per Second: A Long-Distance Love, Your Name: A Time-Travel Love, and Weathering with You are about the encounter and love between an ordinary boy and a girl with superpowers.

The most attractive thing about his films is that they use a large number of inner monologues and artistic style to bring the audience into a unique immersive atmosphere.

The plot of The Garden of Words so far is just a story about a boy who skips school and meets a woman who skips work, but seeing this, the audience can feel the excitement in the male protagonist's heart and the budding of love.
This time, when the woman met the male protagonist again, she took the initiative to praise his shoe design.

The plot begins to vaguely mention the heroine's interpersonal relationships.

I just broke up with my boyfriend and seemed to be hit hard by it. Due to mental problems, I developed symptoms of taste desensitization.

And in order to adjust my mood, I am ready to resign.

Then quit your job immediately!
It’s a crappy class, I’d rather not attend it!

If you meet a scumbag, then start another relationship.

When Xia Wenhao saw this, he was full of anticipation.

The plot now turns into a pattern of a boy who skips school and a lovelorn woman meeting on a rainy day.

July
The relationship between the two people who met in the pavilion on a rainy day has lasted for a month.

Because of the difficulties in making shoes, the hero Qiuyue asked the heroine to help him.

The requirement put forward is.
Hopefully, the woman will agree to let him measure her foot size, and then he can start making shoes based on that baseline data.

you.
You really can do it!
Why can't I think of such a reason?
Xia Wenhao's eyes widened.

At this moment, some low-pitched discussions could be heard in the quiet theater.

The movie shows the woman actually taking off her shoes, revealing her white and crystal legs, and then the male protagonist Akizuki Takao starts to concentrate on measuring the size with a measuring tool.
A boy concentrating on his work, and a woman looking at him.

That kind of charming and ambiguous atmosphere reached its peak.

Xia Wenhao looked at this scene with envy.

Mom, I want to be a shoemaker too!

It turns out there is such a profession in the world that allows you to have this kind of contact with girls with a legitimate reason!
What did you learn in IT?

I'm in my twenties now, and not only do I not have a girlfriend, but I'm also mostly balding.

This is why this work was called the Garden of Foot Control in Su Yan's previous life.

[I can't go on like this anymore. ]

The woman stood on the stool in the pavilion, stepping on the boy's drawing board. The boy helped her draw the lines while she spoke.

【At work? 】

[Yes and no!] The woman's voice sounded somewhat dejected.

Is this depression?

Xia Wenhao opened his mouth wide, as if he understood something.

I would avoid going to work and hide in this pavilion on rainy days, talking and communicating with young boys I didn’t know, singing some incomprehensible short songs.

She could no longer tell her worries to the people she knew.

I can only talk about it like this, with someone like the male protagonist, with whom I don't know each other's background.

Xia Wenhao felt a sense of resonance.

He also has to work overtime every day and is very miserable!
Every day when I wake up and think about going to work, I feel reluctant and extremely resistant.

Ugh.
The next perspective switched to the woman.

She stayed in the pavilion whether it rained or not.

But when it's not raining, she's alone, and when it's raining, that boy will also come here.
The hero got the heroine's foot data and also developed a determination.

Since I want to be a shoemaker, I will make my first pair of shoes and give it to this woman whose name I don’t know.

Then, time entered August
The rainy season was over, and the boy hadn't seen the woman for a long time because it hadn't rained.

But he put all his energy into making shoes.

When Xia Wenhao saw this, his expression was somewhat helpless.

This is the teenage kid.

What do you mean you only skip classes when it rains? Skipping classes is an unprincipled behavior. Why do you have to be principled and only skip classes when it rains?
Isn't this funny?
She is alone in the pavilion every day, waiting for you, her friend, to go and talk to her, but you concentrate on your schooling and make shoes at night. You are going astray!
But the story continues to move forward.
The woman made up her mind to resign, and that day, she finally did not go to the pavilion.

Instead, I came to a school.

When Xia Wenhao saw this, his heart trembled.

At this moment, the theater was filled with hushed whispers.

"No way?"

"real or fake?"

"Did she say?"

“This is too much!”

"Qiuyue always wears a school uniform! If that's the case, doesn't it mean that she has always known about the relationship between Qiuyue and her?"

Sure enough, the following plot.

The woman is a teacher in this school. The reason why the male protagonist said that he seemed to have met her before is that right? A school is not that big. Even if she didn't teach the male protagonist directly, it is normal for them to have an impression of each other after passing by in the corridor.

Teachers and students love?
I rely on
Stimulate!

But the most exciting thing is that the woman, Yukino Momoka, actually met the male protagonist Akizuki Takao face to face while she was in the process of resigning.

Xia Wenhao felt that the plot was beginning to develop in an unpredictable direction.

Then the reason why Yukino wanted to resign was also announced through his classmates.

Student Yukino's off-campus boyfriend harassed her as a teacher, causing the matter to spread throughout the school.

Why is the mental stress so great that I feel a little depressed?
Why don't you want to go to work?
If the news that a teacher is stealing a student's boyfriend spreads around the school, how could anyone be willing to come to work?

Although it has nothing to do with the heroine, once the obscene rumor gets out, who can explain it?

In the animation of Su Yan's previous life, the male protagonist knew about this matter; he was even going to find the third-year girl who spread rumors about Xue Ye and ask her to clarify the matter and not slander Xue Ye.

After all, the male protagonist has already fallen in love with Yukino at this time, so it is understandable that he does such a thing.

However, he got into an argument with that person and was beaten up by his third-grade female classmates.

But in the Xiaguo version, Su Yan designed it for Akizuki Takao to win the fight.

The reason is very simple. Su Yan’s fans don’t think that the character played by Su Yan will be a weakling.

Furthermore, it is immature enough to argue with others for the person you like, knowing that there are a lot of people around him or her, and still go up to argue with the other person. If you lose the fight, it means you are cowardly and unwise, which is really not in line with the positioning of the male protagonist!
Xia Wenhao felt a little complicated at this time.

I feel that the male protagonist is not mature enough, but I also cherish his immaturity.

This is the youth that everyone has.

The same goes for Xue Ye, everyone has a first love!
At an immature age, one might do anything for his or her first love.

At this time, Xia Wenhao resonated deeply with the male protagonist of this movie.

but
Now that Xue Ye has resigned, it’s no longer a teacher-student relationship.

What’s a mere twelve-year age difference?
Su Yan, you old thief, let Xiaoxiong confess his feelings next!

The plot of the story is still implicitly suppressing the emotions of both the male and female protagonists.

The audience also began to accumulate emotions.

Whether it is the movie or the audience, after the previous plot setup, they need a point of catharsis.

And then, this point appeared.

For the first time, Takao Akizuki did not come to the pavilion on a rainy day.

Sure enough, here, Xue Ye Bai Xiangli was still in the pavilion.

It seemed as if he was waiting for someone.

[There is a faint rumble of thunder and a gloomy sky. Even if it doesn’t rain, I will stay here!] The hero walked to the opposite side of the heroine and said this.

This short ancient Chinese poem is divided into two sentences.

[Yes, that’s right! ]

These two short lines and this moment clearly express the encounter between the two people over the past few months.

Thunder roars
After a month of no rain, it began to rain heavily.

Xia Wenhao seemed to have a premonition of something. The heaviest rain and the wildest wind soaked their clothes. It seemed that God was assisting them.

In order to prevent a cold, Xue Ye brought Qiu Yue home, and Qiu Yue started cooking with the ingredients in her home.

Xue Ye, on the other hand, helped Qiu Yue dry his shirt.
Xia Wenhao just felt an ambiguity in this atmosphere.

But many couples in the theater were already holding hands.

【Now.】

【This moment! 】

【Perhaps the happiest! 】

【Perhaps the happiest! 】

As the dialogue between the male and female protagonists sounded in their hearts at the same time, Xia Wenhao showed an auntie smile on his face.

You old thief Su Yan, you are worthy of being me!
He was already satisfied with the plot of the movie at this point!

When it comes to measuring whether a romance movie is good or not, Xia Wenhao only looks at one indicator.

Can it touch his heart?

No matter how good the setting is or how interesting the characters are, if they are fake and the characters don’t resonate with the audience, then it’s meaningless.

As for Ye Zhiting, Xia Wenhao couldn't bear to blink from beginning to end.

【Ms. Yukino.】

Akizuki Takao looked at the woman washing dishes, holding a cup of coffee, and suddenly spoke softly.

【I think I'm in love with you! 】

boom!
Xia Wenhao felt his heartbeat quickening.

Yukino in the movie turned around with a surprised expression, was stunned for a moment, but then smiled and said.

[It's not Ms. Yukino, it's Mr. Yukino! ] Yukino said

Xia Wenhao's heart suddenly sank.

That familiar feeling arises.

Su Yan
There's something wrong with you, isn't there?

What is Mr. Yukino? He is still a teacher even after he resigned?

Don’t you know what we want to see in the cinema now?

Even if you didn't get Xue Ye to agree directly, you wouldn't directly refuse using your status as a teacher, right?
Xia Wenhao already had a bad feeling.

Moreover, the emotions that have been accumulated in this movie since the first shot suddenly found no way to vent.

Xue Ye continued to say that she would move out of the city after resigning.

Thank him for accompanying her and talking to her during this period of time when she was confused.

After hearing everything, Qiuyue stood up and said goodbye to Xueye in a final calm tone.

Xia Wenhao is good at it, and Xue Ye in the movie is also good, and everyone knows
He was angry.

You can refuse, but what about your teacher status?
That won't work.

Xue Ye in the room was holding a teacup, and his expression became a little sad.

Qiuyue walked down the stairs, and the wind and rain blowing from the spiral staircase wet his clothes again.

Suddenly at some point, a loud, beautiful and resounding BGM sounded.

The moment the prelude of the song "Rain" sounded, Xia Wenhao and other audience members in the cinema seemed to be stirring with their accumulated emotions.

[There is faint thunder and a gloomy sky. Even if there is no rain, I will stay here! ]

Qiuyue's short poem in response rang in my mind.

In just a moment, Xue Ye chased after him.
The kettle in the room made a sharp sound.

The moment when Xue Ye ran barefoot on the stairs and slippery corridors became a classic.

Xia Wenhao had only one thought in his mind!
Go!

This classic Japanese drama was very popular in Su Yan’s previous life. In Xia Country, this scene made people feel very emotional.

Emotions finally have a channel to vent.

Xue Ye chased after him at the fastest speed.

Because she understood that if she didn't make it clear here, she would never have another chance.

If she deceived Qiuyue like she deceived others, she would definitely regret it.

But at the corner of the stairs going downstairs, the boy stood on the platform and looked at the heavy rain outside.

Xue Ye stood on one step of the stairs, looking at the boy from top to bottom.

Teenager's anger.

Woman's anxiety.
In the theater, many girls began to clench their hands.

Everyone seems to have a premonition!

The most classic dialogue in the entire work appears.

It can be said that the plot of The Garden of Words was laid out for such a long time just for this passage, just for the background BGM, and the resonance that Rain created when combining this passage at this moment.

[Ms. Yukino, forget what I just said. I don't like you! You drink beer early in the morning and use inexplicable short songs to fool people. You don't say a word about your own affairs, but you keep trying to figure out other people's thoughts. You already knew that we are a teacher and student, right?] Qiuyue said with a choked voice.

[If I had known this, I would not have told you all my thoughts and dreams. Do you think it is OK to just casually deal with a child's dream? ]

[No matter who I admire or love, it is just wishful thinking and cannot be expressed. Then you should have said it at the beginning, and the child would have gone to school obediently, saying that you hate me. You. Just keep doing this, not saying a word about important things, and then pretending that nothing happened, and spend your life alone! ]

The boy's choked roar and the woman's face gradually filled with tears became the only and explosive climax of the plot in this work.

The background music of rain continued to play.

The tears in Yukino's eyes could no longer be stopped.

She rushed down the stairs and hugged Qiuyue. The sunlight penetrated the dark clouds, and rain and sunlight fell on the spiral stairs where the two of them faced each other.

[Every day, I dress up and want to go to school. But I am always overwhelmed by fear and cannot take a step forward]

[It was you who gave me the strength to move forward. ]

Yukino spoke these words while crying.

Nothing was said explicitly, and even the words were a little confusing, but it was a response to the boy's feelings.

But it all poured out.

It was all revealed in the way she tightly embraced the boy's arms, the heavy rain, the sunshine and the singing.

After she said this, the scene of her hugging the young man and crying in the rain was frozen in Xia Wenhao's eyes.

Heavy rain all over the sky, sunlight breaking through the clouds, and two people hugging and crying.

Xia Wenhao's eyes suddenly turned red.
The emotional catharsis of this shot is so strong.

The Garden of Kotonoha, which dulled the entire movie and constantly suppressed the emotions of the protagonist and the audience, vented all the emotions in this short twenty-second shot.

Just like Su Yan’s 5 Centimeters per Second in his previous life, the entire movie lasts an hour, just for the last ten seconds when the male protagonist turns around and leaves with a smile.

The story styles of Makoto Shinkai's early works were very similar to this.

The lyrics of rain are sung.

This is both the theme song and the ending song of the movie.

The plot of the movie ends here.

But for both Xue Ye and Qiu Yue, their future was not made clear.

Xia Wenhao felt deeply moved as he listened to this song.

Some regrets
Until the very end, Qiuyue's hypocritical words remained so immature.

But it was such an immature protagonist who touched his heart deeply.

His feelings for Yukino, Yukino's fear of life, and her dependence on him were all revealed in their final words.

The entire theater was silent at this moment.

Everyone was immersed in the atmosphere brought by the final plot.
