Depressive Screenwriter

In the late autumn season, Taki Tachibana met with his high school friend, Ms. Okudera, and they talked about his trip to Itomori Town five years ago.

During the conversation, they mentioned that no one died in Itomori Town during the comet disaster eight years ago.

This confirmed that Mitsuha Miyamizu was definitely alive.

Zhong Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

Before the movie provided definite information, her previous thoughts were just guesses, and now they were confirmed.

Then there were various small details in the plot.

In winter, when Taki Tachibana was drinking in a coffee shop in Tokyo, behind him, Tsukasa and Sayaka, who had become a couple, were chatting and laughing.

Seeing this, Zhong Qingxuan's heart clenched.

Taki Tachibana, turn around! Maybe if you see them and become friends with them, you can meet Mitsuha Miyamizu again.

But how could Taki Tachibana, who didn't even remember Mitsuha Miyamizu, turn around because of their voices?

Taki Tachibana got up and left the coffee shop without looking back.

Zhong Qingxuan was so angry!

A sense of resentment rose in her heart, turning into emotional points that flew towards Su Yan.

But soon, an even more explosive plot came.

Outside the coffee shop was a pedestrian bridge. On the right side of the bridge, Taki Tachibana was holding an umbrella to avoid the snow.

On the right side of the bridge, Mitsuha Miyamizu was also walking with an umbrella.

Zhong Qingxuan's heart clenched again.

So, old thief, is this how you arranged the plot?

The two walked towards each other on the bridge, getting closer.

But because they were looking down and the umbrellas blocked their faces, neither of them saw the other's face.

Just as they passed each other, they seemed to sense something. Taki Tachibana turned to look behind him, but only saw the back of a woman holding an umbrella.

Mitsuha Miyamizu also turned to look behind her, seeing the back of a man holding an umbrella.

But neither of them stopped. Taki Tachibana went home, and Mitsuha Miyamizu went to the coffee shop to meet her two high school friends, Tsukasa and Sayaka.

Zhong Qingxuan was numb.

Two more emotional points filled with resentment flew towards Su Yan.

She was a long-time fan of Su Yan for many years, and she didn't want to be like those vulgar netizens, spraying him at the slightest dissatisfaction with the plot.

But now, she really wanted to scold Su Yan.

What the hell are you doing?

What level are you at to be a movie screenwriter? Give me the pen, I'll write the scene where they meet, it'll definitely be ten thousand times better than your garbage scene where they just brush past each other!

Back home, Taki Tachibana, who continued to look up information about the meteor fall in Itomori Town eight years ago, had a look of confusion in his eyes.

[The scenery of a town that has disappeared, why does it tug so tightly at my heart?]

The ending song's background music started.

Winter ended and spring arrived.

It was the season when cherry blossoms fell again.

Taki Tachibana had found a job.

He walked across a railway, the same real-life railway where the male and female protagonists brushed past each other in 5 Centimeters Per Second.

But this time, he was the only one crossing the street.

The camera kept switching.

Tokyo area, Taki Tachibana, Tsukasa, Sayaka, Okudera, Mitsuha Miyamizu.

Everyone was gathered in this city, each with their own life path.

The camera came to the scene at the beginning of the movie, where Taki Tachibana woke up with tears in the corner of his eyes.

At this moment, Zhong Qingxuan finally understood what the lines at the beginning of the movie meant.

The two who had forgotten something important, the two who couldn't remember each other's names, besides the emptiness in their hearts and the tears they shed in their dreams, there was nothing left of the impact they had on each other's lives.

This was even more tragic than 5 Centimeters Per Second.

The male and female protagonists in 5 Centimeters Per Second had just let go, they hadn't forgotten each other.

But these two had forgotten each other, but eight years had passed, and they hadn't let go.

The gentle male voice sang in the background music.

Mitsuha Miyamizu tied the ribbon she gave to Taki Tachibana, and which he returned to her, in her hair.

The two walked out of the apartment together, looking at the different cityscapes of Tokyo in front of them.

The two entered the city train stations near their homes, and took different trains.

Tokyo is small, but Tokyo is also big.

Even if the two lived in this city for a lifetime, the chance of them brushing past each other might only be that time outside the coffee shop.

Because that was purely an accident, and if they missed it, they would never have a chance to meet again in this lifetime.

But...

Zhong Qingxuan's eyes widened.

In the movie, Taki Tachibana leaned against the window of the city train, aimlessly looking at the scenery outside the window.

And Mitsuha Miyamizu was doing the same.

When two trains on different routes sped along parallel tracks in the same direction, the two saw each other through the tracks and two subway doors and windows.

At this moment, a large group of moviegoers in the theater who had been suppressing themselves for ten minutes couldn't help it anymore, and many people cheered and applauded collectively.

Zhong Qingxuan wasn't that exaggerated, but her eyes turned red again.

The background music suddenly became louder, and the train diverged on the tracks, and the two people looking at each other through the window grew farther and farther apart.

The inner monologues of the two alternated.

[I've been searching!]

[For someone!]

The man and woman who got off the train immediately at the next station and ran frantically to the station above, the two people who looked back anxiously in the streets and alleys of the city, the two people who searched for each other in the morning sun and the falling cherry blossoms.

Finally, they met each other at a long staircase.

Nervous, uneasy, and apprehensive, the two strangers, pretending to be nonchalant, crossed paths in the middle of the stairs.

But in the end, Taki Tachibana took the initiative to call out.

It was like the usual opening line for picking up girls, but it made everyone in the theater hold their breath.

Just after a conversation, Taki Tachibana and Mitsuha Miyamizu couldn't wait to ask the next question.

[What is your name?]

[What is your name?]

The movie ended abruptly here, and the end credits began to appear.

In the theater, the searchlights turned on, but no one in the theater got up.

Everyone looked blankly at the end credits, feeling a sense of emotion and loss.

Is this the end of the story?

They could have filmed two more minutes!

The two meet, get to know each other, fall in love, and then get married...

Old thief, is there really no easter egg at the end of this movie?

"So, is it possible that I had a earth-shattering love adventure in the past with any stranger in this world?" Zhong Qingxuan wiped her tears with a tissue, and then blew her nose.

But the four-minute wait for the end credits wasn't in vain.

Although there was no follow-up plot, two pieces of information were released there.

The novel of the same name as Your Name will be released simultaneously throughout Xia Country three weeks after the movie's release.

And, Rurouni Kenshin Movie Part II is confirmed to be released during the Spring Festival next year.

The screen turned black.

The movie ended here.

Zhong Qingxuan and a group of moviegoers left the theater.

Everyone's expressions were filled with different emotions. A movie touches different people in different ways. At least, in the process of walking out of the theater, Zhong Qingxuan had already seen many people who came to see the movie alone take out their mobile phones and start dialing the phone numbers of people in their deep memories.

The world was only nine o'clock when the premiere ended. At this time, the first batch of moviegoers of the four movies released today began to post comments online.

In fact, before today, most media in Xia Country believed that Your Name would have a huge advantage in this release schedule.

If not 100%, then at least 80%, Your Name would be the summer box office champion.

But no one in the Xia Country film industry expected that, just after the premiere ended, the topic popularity of Your Name among the viewing groups of major movies would be so overwhelmingly high.

The popularity of just Your Name alone was twice as high as the combined popularity of the other movies released today.

A group of people said they were already on their way to see it a second time, and a group of people said this was the most divine work in Su Yan's creative career.

Su Yan's fans have always been so狂热. People in the film and television industry thought they were used to it, but tonight's public opinion heat told them that it was completely different from what they imagined.

Tonight, it wasn't just Su Yan's fans who were狂热, but also a large group of passerby fans.

Su Yan's fans were restrained in their wording when praising Your Name to avoid attracting hate.

But passerby fans didn't care about that. A large number of plot discussion posts, analysis posts, and praise posts appeared.

The work score hasn't appeared yet, but the theater owners and Xia Country film industry practitioners understood in their hearts from this battle.

The 30% screen share that Your Name had on its opening day was still too little?

Tomorrow, it has to be increased!
