There are many kinds of people in this world, some are cheerful and outgoing, and some are taciturn. Each of those who are silent has their own reasons. One of them is that although they are turbulent on the inside, they are too lazy to show it on the outside. They feel tired just talking to others. .
Of course Horikita Maki is not like this, it's just that Mizunami Hayato wants her to be like this, and he really doesn't think that her heart is really like a piece of wood.
Just like a certain famous wooden plum lady in a certain game, wouldn't she still vaguely reveal a corner of her heart to the faded person when she meets her fate?
"No?" Mizuna Hayato smiled: "Then let's make a bet."
"bet?"
"Yeah, just bet on the movie we're going to watch later."
"Forest of Fireflies" is a very good animated film. It is not long and the story is not too ups and downs. However, Hayato Minakami believes that this work has all the elements to move people.
With its beautiful painting style, gentle BGM, subtle emotions, and young love story, as well as the passionate performances of two excellent voice actors, Hayato Minakami and Ayane Sakura, it will be no problem to move the piece of wood in front of you.
"So what you're saying is that if I'm moved, I lose?" Horikita Maki asked.
"Yes." Hayato Minato nodded: "But you don't have to cry to be moved. You have to face your heart."
It might be a bit difficult to just count the tears, so Minato Hayato added a supplement.
"That means..." Horikita Maki thought for a while: "In the end, it still depends on what I say?"
"Yes, but I believe you won't lie to yourself, right?" Mizuna Hayato asked.
Horikita Maki shook her head. If she really saw a good work and was moved by it, she would not deny it, but this guy clearly asked her to teach him his voice acting skills when he invited her. As a result, he now looks confident. Is it really okay?
...
In the end, Minato Hayato still couldn't hear the word "yes" from Horikita Maki, but basically as long as she didn't refuse, she agreed, so he had already started thinking about what bets he would make if he won.
The two walked to a small cinema nearby. There were many people gathered in front of the cinema, most of them were young and beautiful female students, dressed fashionably, with cute little ornaments everywhere on their bodies. They might be with them. My boyfriend is walking with me, or looking around and waiting for others, and more often than not, there are two, two, or three of good friends happily chatting about something.
"The Forest of Fireflies" is a theatrical animation of only 45 minutes, which is not long enough for an ordinary movie. Therefore, the release will not be a large-scale release in all theaters. The main theaters where it will be released will still be those that specialize in independent films. , or an independent theater similar to the short theatrical version.
Although "Forest of Fireflies" has Hayato Minakami's "first voice acting experience" as a gimmick, many major theater chains have not put it on the shelves due to operational reasons and risk considerations.
Of course, this does not affect Hayato's fans from spending money on him.
Just look at the smile on the face of the staff member who guided the audience to queue up for photos in front of the big poster of "Forest of Fireflies". Normally, there aren't too many people in this theater. This is also thanks to " The reason why "Forest of Fireflies" was released here.
"What will Minakami-kun's dubbing be like? I'm really looking forward to it!" "Of course it will sound great! He sings well and speaks softly." "Ah! If there are any good lines, I will definitely wait until the DVD is released. Buy it and record it as an alarm clock!”
Minato Hayato and Horikita Maki blended into the crowd, and his fans kept hearing embarrassing comments about him.
In a noisy environment, few people can completely block the influence of the outside world. Even Horikita Maki frequently looked at Minakami Hayato after hearing too many slutty speeches from those "Dream Girls".
"Is his voice gentle?" she thought.
"Maki Maki." At this time, Mizuna Hayato suddenly came to her ear and whispered.
"Huh?" Horikita Maki subconsciously shrank her head.
"Let's go to the corner over there and wait. I have a lot of fans here, so I'm afraid of being recognized." Mizuna Hayato whispered.
"Be careful and follow me."
Horikita Maki nodded after hearing this and followed him through the crowd towards the corner.
Looking at his back in front of her, she suddenly thought: "He seems quite gentle."
...
It's a pity that this is not a more private box-style cinema for couples. Otherwise, while waiting, they could buy some snacks and drinks to kill time, look at the surroundings, tighten their masks, and chat in low voices from time to time.
However, they did not wait too long, and soon the admission time came. After checking in, the two of them entered the cinema.
Because it is an independent theater, it is relatively free to show what it wants. Just like this theater, the boss waved his hand and let several theaters show "Forest of Fireflies" at the same time.
So when they came to the last row where they were, there was no one else in the row except for a couple who were close to each other a few seats away.
However, carefully counting the heads in the first few rows, the attendance rate of "Forest of Fireflies" is quite high. It seems that as long as the content of the film does not overwhelm the film, their gains from this release will not be too low.
After a few commercials to prevent illegal filming were aired, the screen went black, and everyone knew that the film had officially begun.
"ANIPLEX" a familiar voice came to mind, and Hayato Minakami also slightly adjusted his sitting position so that he could see the content on the screen clearly, and he could easily move his eyes to observe Horikita Maki's reaction.
Talking in a movie theater is taboo. Even Minato Hayato would not do anything in a movie theater, even if the dark environment and the fragrance coming from the side always make him want to do something.
At the beginning of the film, there are scenes in the forest, and the beautiful painting style sets the tone of the entire film.
The name of the original author was printed on the screen, followed by the names of the male and female protagonists' voice actors.
"Sakura Ayane Minakami Hayato"
"Oh oh oh!" "Mizukami-kun!" The moment they saw Minakami Hayato's name, many viewers became uneasy, and some even applauded subconsciously.
Confusing.
Minato Hayato couldn't laugh or cry, and turned to look at Horikita Maki. He saw Horikita Maki's beautiful big eyes open, which became brighter under the reflection of the light of the screen. The emotions contained in her eyes were quite simple, and she seemed to be indifferent to the noise around her. Moved.
Fortunately, the audience could not control themselves subconsciously and quickly regained their composure.
This allows everyone to slowly immerse themselves in this story.
...
While the bet between Minakami Hayato and Horikita Maki was going on, at the same time, in another small theater, two women familiar to Minakura Hayato also disguised themselves to watch this animation together.
I bought pork knuckle rice today. It was delicious that day, so I ordered it again this time.
Then, last time I ordered a medium portion. I wanted to eat more meat, so I ordered a large portion.
As it turned out, the big factor in the large portion was not the amount of meat, but the soybeans...the loss of blood.
