Noon

On the sofa in the Pan-Entertainment Research Society,

Imagawa Kaede was lying on the bed, twisting his body constantly. When Longzhu Tao, who was beside him, saw this scene, she had no intention of comforting Imagawa Kaede.

Instead, he kept rewinding the video of the morning's cultural festival performance.

How should I put it? Although I thought it was very handsome at the time, to be honest, when I watch the replay now, I feel so embarrassed.

He didn't understand why he was so...

"Please spare me, turn it off, turn it off quickly, and don't replay it anymore." Imagawa Kaede turned his back to the TV and begged with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Hmm~Hmm! The song is very well written, so nice, I want to listen to it again." Although Long Zhutao said this, she still turned off the TV silently.

"Come with me to the movies this afternoon?" Long Zhutao said.

"No, I feel too embarrassed to face people." Imagawa Kaede twisted his body and said.

"It's just a preview. The host will ask some questions afterwards. It's very convenient inside Shuchiin. Are you sure you don't want to come?" Long Zhutao asked.

"Since there will be questions, I shouldn't be the only one here, right?" asked Imagawa Kaede.

He didn't care much about what happened afterwards. In his opinion, promoting himself was enough. Besides, the quality of his work was more than enough. He just let it go as far as the subsequent operations.

Therefore, what Imagawa Kaede said actually meant to ask how many people would come to this preview.

However, this sounded different to Longzhu Tao.

"Of course you're not the only one here. Isn't the heroine coming? She's been waiting for the preview with our teacher Bai Zhou every day."

Listening to Longzhu Tao's sarcastic remarks, Imagawa Kaede didn't have any thoughts. Of course, Longzhu Tao wouldn't have too many thoughts either.

In Longzhutao's eyes, female stars like Sakurajima Mai are not the type who can be compared with herself, if she really has some ideas.

The ones she cares about are Mahiru Shiina, Shiro Jina, and Kaguya Shinomiya, who have great benefits in themselves.

Strictly speaking, if Mahiru Shiina was not valued by Mrs. Imagawa and had no status, it would have no impact on her.

"I want to ask what the arrangements are and who will be there. Why are you jealous?" Imagawa Kaede said as he pinched Longzhu Tao's face.

"I can't be jealous?" After slapping Imagawa Kaede's hand away, Longzhu Tao pinched Imagawa Kaede's face and asked.

"Yes, yes, of course." Imagawa Kaede said helplessly.

"Not many people, mainly you two, the male and female protagonists. We didn't specifically invite guest actors like Kashiwahara Takashi, after all, it's in Shuchiin, which is quite troublesome."

"Oh oh oh, it's a good thing he didn't come. Kashiwabara Takashi's appearance still makes me feel a little pressured." Imagawa Kaede said shamelessly.

……

After changing into the male lead's outfit again, Imagawa Kaede came to the auditorium of Shuchiin, where the preview would be screened.

Imagawa Kaede had already watched the entire film, so it didn't feel very heavy to her.

Long Zhutao beside her cried again. It can’t be considered crying, just that her eyes were red. However, many of the more emotional girls just started sobbing softly.

Some even cried twice.

There are still some changes between the live-action version and the animated version, especially in some scenes that are more difficult to shoot, which have been deleted accordingly. And the live-action version has added a lot of specific fireworks display scenes.

At the same time, some more roles were given to the second male lead, the boy in the school who has a crush on the heroine in the story.

And because of the numerous guest appearances, the live-action version as a whole tends to be comedic and healing. There were also some tear-jerking moments when the male protagonist disappeared, but overall it was not that strong.

Generally speaking, since the live-action version was shown first and then the anime version, the storyline is more coherent and more tear-jerking.

There is still some impact. If you watch them individually, the live-action version is only about an hour long, while the animated version is one and a half hours long.

Some of the plots actually overlap to a certain extent, but due to the deliberate arrangement of the two, the feeling they give people is quite different.

After the film screening ended, Imagawa Kaede, wearing her iconic fox mask, and the directors of the live-action and anime versions, took the stage first, followed by Minami Hamabe and other actors.

After a simple hello, the two directors talked about some of the things they encountered during the production of the film, and then there was a routine question-and-answer session.

"First of all, Director Nishiura, when you were casting, why did you consider asking Mr. Bai Zhou to play the male lead?" the host asked.

"Well, actually, both the main investor of this film and I care more about Mr. Bai Zhou's opinion, so we asked Mr. Bai Zhou for his opinion on the male lead." Director Nishiura has never been good at answering this kind of question.

"We actually found a lot of male actors to audition at the time, but it always seemed like there would be some problems when it came to gray hair."

"In the end, it was Mr. Okada who was in charge of the script who suggested that we just let Mr. Bai Zhou play the role. After all, as the original author, he has a better understanding of the character's psychological state."

"At first, Mr. Bai Zhou hated showing his face, but after everyone's persuasion, he agreed to act in this movie."

"What surprised me the most was Mr. Bai Zhou's acting skills. Perhaps because he understood the character's inner thoughts, Mr. Bai Zhou's acting skills were not inferior to those of some professional actors."

After the praise, the host continued to ask:

"Did you persuade them together?"

"Would it be convenient for everyone to understand how you persuaded Mr. Bai Zhou?"

After all, these were questions prepared in advance, and everyone on the stage knew what they were going to be.

"This... uh..." Director Nishiura pretended to be uncomfortable saying it.

At this time, Mari Okada, who was in charge of the animation, smiled and said:

"Actually, President, oh, no, it was Mr. Bai Zhou who chose to play the leading role because we threatened him with the box office."

(Mari Okada was recruited by PAWORKS animation production company.)

"Threat?" the host asked in a surprised look.

"It's a threat. Actually, the boss, oh, no, it's Mr. Bai Zhou, is usually the kind of person who lacks confidence. It would be better if he could be a little narcissistic like he is online or in his usual live broadcasts."

Host: "Ahem, Mr. Okada, be careful with your year-end bonus."

The audience laughed out loud at this.
