Xu Xin didn't know what happened, but she could tell from the host's words that she seemed to know this middle-aged man wearing glasses.

He also called "Sang".

Just when I was wondering, I saw the man bowing politely and saying a lot of words.

Then, with deep surprise on Shangyuan Ai's face, he turned to Xu Xin and translated:

"Director Xu, this gentleman's name is Xin Haicheng. Have you heard of him?"

Xu Xin was stunned.

Liu Yifei's reaction was very quick:

""Second speed of five centimeters"?"

Xu Xin, who was already very familiar with this name, suddenly had a line pop up in his mind:

"The falling speed of cherry blossoms is five centimeters per second. If there was a sound when the cherry blossoms fell, would you hear my thoughts about you..."

He and Yang Mi watched this animation together.

Although it was an animation, it still left a deep impression on him.

Yang Mi even posted this line on Weibo.

When he heard Liu Yifei's words at this moment, he was also surprised and asked Shangyuan Ai's explanation:

"is it him?"

Shangyuan Ai nodded.

"Yes."

"Well……"

This time, Xu Xin was even more surprised.

I wonder how this transnational colleague could find me here?

Just when he was wondering, Xin Haicheng spoke again.

Soon, Shangyuan Ai gave a translation:

"Director Xu, he said that he is a big fan of "The Untold Secret". He has always liked your directing style. He also likes your answer to the girl's question just now. I wonder if you have any ideas for filming animation."

"Well……"

Although this question has nothing to do with "Hawthorn Tree", Xu Xin still smiled after thinking about it:

"No at the moment. I'm not proficient in the study of painting, and I don't know the details that really make it different from a work shot by a live-action movie. So... I don't have any animation ideas at the moment."

Then, following Ai Kamigen's translation, Makoto Shinkai smiled, nodded, and shouted something.

After hearing this, Shangyuan Ai said:

"He said "Hawthorn Tree Love" come on."

"...Ha, thank you."

Xu Xin responded politely.

Then they put on the mask again and sat down.

He looked just like any other audience attending this meeting.

…

The 2-hour interview session ended.

The three people bowed to thank the audience for coming today, and then returned to the backstage.

Along the way, Lin Xingxin also said:

"Is "5 Centimeters per Second" good? I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it."

"It's great! Although it's not a perfect ending... but the plot is really attractive to girls."

These are the words of Liu Yifei.

Xu Xin also nodded tacitly.

Indeed, the look and feel of that cartoon is really good.

As the three of them were walking towards the waiting room, a staff member from behind came jogging over and called out to Shang Yuan Ai.

After a while of whispering, Shangyuan Ai nodded and asked Xu Xin:

"Director Xu, Director Xin Haicheng would like to come and visit you backstage, is that okay?"

"……ah?"

Xu Xin was stunned again.

Then he nodded quickly:

"To say you're visiting is too polite. I welcome you."

Liu Yifei and Lin Xingxin were also surprised after hearing this.

But they both saw it... they were here for Xu Xin.

So, the three of them returned to the waiting room all the way.

This is the only activity today, so I have plenty of time left.

No one is in a hurry to leave.

Back in the waiting room, Su Meng quickly handed over the tea cup.

Xu Xin ordered:

"Make another cup of tea. Guests will come later."

"OK."

Su Meng nodded and quickly took out a tea bag from the bag she was carrying.

Influenced by poplar honey, Xu Xin actually chooses jasmine when drinking tea when going out.

This thing is resistant to brewing. Although it will have an astringent taste after being brewed for a long time, the overall taste is better than other teas.

After all, it’s not good to carry a tea set with you every day when you go out.

The jasmine he drinks is also selected by Yang Mi, and comes from Wu Yutai’s Royal Jasmine Tea King.

If sold in bulk, it costs more than 9,000 per catty. Packaged ones are even more expensive.

He usually drinks it as food and tea, but it is definitely not excessive for entertaining guests.

While waiting for Xin Haicheng, Xu Xin was quite surprised and asked Yuan Ai:

"I remember when we chatted last time, we also talked about the differences between China and Japan. You told me that the Japanese have a strong sense of community, but their individual behavior is actually very restrained. But this director Makoto Shinkai made me feel that he is a bit

It’s already cooked.”

Shangyuan Ai smiled and shook his head:

"Director Makoto Shinkai has always been fond of Chinese culture, and his favorite movies have been mentioned by fans on Twitter. He has also recommended Director Xu's "The Untold Secret" many times."

"……ah?"

Looking at Xu Xin's surprised look, Shangyuan Ai said:

"Director Xu, you must not underestimate the status of "The Secret That Cannot Be Told" in everyone's hearts."

"Haha~"

While talking and laughing, there was a knock on the door.

After Su Meng quickly went to open it, Xin Haicheng, who had already taken off his mask, stood at the door and greeted politely.

Xu Xin knew that he was saying hello without using Yuanyuan Ai to translate. He stood up with a smile to greet him, and took the initiative to extend his hand:

"Director Xin Haicheng, hello, my name is Xu Xin."

This old man looks older than me.

It's always good to be polite.

And when he stretched out his hand, Xin Haicheng bowed.

Seeing Xin Haicheng bow, Xu Xin also bent down.

Anyway, they were polite. The two shook hands, and then Liu Yifei and Lin Xinxin followed them one after another. The final result was that Xin Haicheng politely took the tea handed by Su Meng and stood next to Xu Xin.

Sat down.

Frankly speaking, this guy's tone of voice is very soft.

And the attitude is really very polite.

"Director Xu, Director Makoto Shinkai said that he took the liberty of interrupting you today. When he was at the Tokyo Film Festival before, he was in the late stages of film production and was unable to meet you. This time I heard that you were coming, so I came here with the mentality of a fan."

"Uh...thank you, thank you, that's very polite."
