May 31st, Saturday.

The premiere location of "5 Centimeters per Second" is set at Tokyo Times Cinemas, and around 11:40 p.m., audiences began to enter the venue one after another.

Because he disliked the trouble, and because Emiya didn't really want to show up at this time to avoid being blinded by the flash, he canceled the premiere of the movie and went straight to the point.

Movie tickets go on pre-sale three days in advance.

As expected, the movie tickets were sold out quickly.

This is the benefit of good publicity. On the market now, "5 Centimeters per Second" is hard to find.

Although it is difficult to get tickets from the outside, as an insider and supervisor, Emiya still has many privileges.

Many crew members, including Suzuki Shuji, Ryota and various other media, have their thoughts on Emiya.

For his friends and crew members, Emiya did not skimp on movie tickets and took them out when necessary.

After these people's needs were met, Emiya distributed the few remaining movie tickets to major media.

Of course, Emiya also left enough movie tickets for his family.

Including Emiya Kiritsugu, who is very busy on weekdays, everyone came to attend the premiere.

"I always feel a little lonely sitting here."

Emiya sat alone in the front row of the theater, wearing a mask, surrounded by unknown audience members.

As for why you are sitting here alone.

In the box, you can enjoy a better movie-watching experience.

The reason why Emiya is sitting here is to experience the audience's reaction up close in order to evaluate how this movie is viewed by the public.

Although I feel that this movie is close to perfection, just like there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, the movie has not actually been screened yet, and no one knows what other viewers will think.

At this time, Emiya seemed to have returned to his student days, sitting in the classroom, waiting for the moment when the transcripts were issued.

Looking forward to it, but also a little nervous.

The time came to twelve o'clock in a blink of an eye.

"Five Centimeters per Second" has officially started playing.

At this moment, everyone in the theater fell silent and turned their attention to the screen in front of them.

"Do you know? It is said that the speed is five centimeters per second."

"Huh? What..."

"The speed at which cherry blossom petals fall is five centimeters per second."

Accompanied by the natural sounds of insects and birds chirping in the background, this line was slowly spoken.

Even though I’ve seen the promotional video a long time ago, I still know what the movie’s title actually means.

But when they actually saw this scene, many film critics showed expressions of admiration.

"Yonezu... No, it should be said that Director Emiya is really a genius. He can even find such an entry point. It is simply perfect!"

This year's cherry blossom season has just passed, and people all over Japan are still reminiscing about the cherry blossom petals flying all over the sky, admiring the beauty and romance of its falling beauty, but few people have ever seriously thought about the falling speed of the cherry blossom petals.

The reason why this happens is simply because it's not romantic enough.

After all, who would think about such a boring problem? What's the use of studying that thing?

But when Emiya captured the cherry blossom petals flying all over the sky with his camera, and the male and female protagonists stood on the street where cherry blossoms were scattered, and Xiao Akari asked this question, everyone's hearts seemed to tremble at that moment.

The relationship between childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts is probably the most enviable.

Japanese people express their feelings very implicitly. Just like "I love you" can be expressed by "The moonlight is so beautiful", at this time, asking "how fast the cherry blossoms fall" has a similar meaning.

The sweet taste penetrates into everyone's heart instantly.

Even some people who had read the script a long time ago forgot about the sadness behind it and were completely immersed in the sweetness.

Emiya had been paying attention to the changes in the expressions of the people around him. After seeing them gradually immersed in the movie, he nodded secretly and looked at the screen.

When he went to shoot the first episode of Xiao Akari and Xiao Guishu, he specifically entrusted Liang Tai to find actors. He was also a child star with a certain reputation.

After putting on makeup, the two of them looked very similar to Akari and Takaki when they grew up.

Because this is not my first time filming, and the content is not too complicated.

The expressions and movements of the two perfectly displayed the feelings they wanted to express.

In the picture, Xiao Mingli held up a cherry-colored parasol with a smile as bright as a flower.

"It would be great if we could watch the cherry blossoms together next year."

The train roared past, covering Akari's figure, and the piano played slowly, leaving the audience with only infinite aftertaste.

Next year, it will definitely be a beautiful thing to go see the cherry blossoms together.

I have to say that the opening minute of the movie really caught everyone's attention.

The fatigue left by running to Tokyo in the middle of the night to watch the premiere disappeared in an instant.

First impressions are important, and so are movies.

A good beginning for a movie is almost half the battle.

However, laymen see the excitement, while insiders see the door.

At this time, many film critics have begun to write notes in their notebooks. In their minds, the beginning of this movie can be rated at least eight points or more.

Whether it can stabilize later depends on its subsequent performance.

Otherwise, just saying "The speed of cherry blossoms falling is five centimeters per second" is romantic enough, but the connotation is obviously still lacking.

For a good literary film, romance alone cannot sustain the entire drama.

There is a complete difference between literary and artistic films and commercial films.

It is impossible to convince people just by looking good and having a good experience.

The key to artistic films is connotation.

For example, now, how can the supervisor give the phrase "five centimeters per second" a more profound definition and make people remember it? This is what film critics want to know most.

"Director Emiya, it's such a good start, don't let us down."

Unlike the various professionals in the theater, Shuji Suzuki, who was sitting in the VIP box, looked at the screen and clenched his hands.

"The teacher is the teacher. Just a dozen camera changes are enough to supervise learning for a while. And the last piano piece, although I have never heard it before, fits the atmosphere perfectly. The teacher is truly a wizard in the history of music.

With these additions, "5 Centimeters per Second" can be said to be the biggest surprise this year!"

This is also his first time watching this movie.

Suzuki Shuji, who had unconditional trust in Emiya, firmly believed that Emiya could make a perfect ending for this literary film.

"The opening performance was really perfect."

Ryota, who was sitting next to Shuji Suzuki, nodded while wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. After a moment of silence, he slowly began to speak again.

"But I still can't believe that Murakami-sensei, Yonezu Hiroyuki and Emiya Shirou are the same person. He is so young, only in his early twenties, and he can achieve such terrifying achievements in three different fields. I heard at that time

This news shocked me so much that I couldn’t sleep all night.”

"Don't you think it's a bit scary that a person's ability can reach this level?"

Shuji Suzuki was silent for a moment.

In fact, he was shocked when he learned the news, but he has recovered now.

"You can't think like this. There is no absolute relationship between career success and age. We should understand that extraordinary people like teachers can do so many extraordinary things."

"...Suzuki is indeed a complete fanboy..."

"What are you muttering about?"

Ryota, who was still mumbling, immediately raised his head: "Well, it's nothing, I'm just thinking about how the next plot will unfold."

Shuji Suzuki turned around and then turned his expectant eyes to the screen.
Chapter completed!
