Chapter 178
"Akina-san!" Naoki Nagayama walked over, "Why are you here? Didn't you go abroad for recording in the middle of the month?"
"I also want to ask Naoki-san the same question?" Little Akina smiled until her eyes became curved moons, "Didn't Naoki-san go to New York to participate in the activity?"
"The activity in New York ended long ago. If I go back, I have to transfer in Los Angeles, so I came to Hollywood to visit by the way~" Naoki Nagayama saw that several other people were shooting, a bit surprised,
"Is Akina-san shooting? Did I block the lens?"
"Hahaha, no, no, let me introduce."
Akina Nakamori introduced one by one happily, "This is record producer Yuzo Shimada-san, and also photography and video shooting Honda Nobuyasu-san and Kuroki Yuta-san~"
Then she turned to Naoki Nagayama: "Yuzo-san, this is my good friend Naoki Nagayama-san, he is a movie star, and also a very powerful creator~ The author of 'Sedlove'!"
"Haha, if Akina-san praises me like this, I will blush~" Naoki Nagayama smiled and greeted the few people, "Nice to meet you~ I am Naoki Nagayama."
The simple white shirt and black trousers highlighted the slender and shaped figure, the refreshing and neat broken hair revealed the handsome facial features, and the smiling peach blossom eyes added a touch of gentleness to the face.
Such a clean and bright handsome young man didn't need any more decoration at all, and standing in the crowd was a painting style of a different dimension.
Yuzo Shimada had never taken the so-called "threat" to Akina-chan's career in the mouths of Terabayashi Akira and Tomioka Nobuo to heart.
It was just a young and frivolous period for a girl, encountering a naive love.
Until this moment... "It really is!"
Then he remembered Tomioka Nobuo's words when chatting in private: "Must not let them contact more!"
"Nani?" Little Akina seemed to hear Yuzo Shimada's whispering, "What is Yuzo-san saying?"
"No, no, didn't say anything." Yuzo Shimada came back to his senses, "Speaking of which, Nagayama-san is transferring in Los Angeles? What time is the flight?"
As expected of an experienced producer, his brain turned and found a blind spot. If it's a transfer, then it means he will fly away very soon?
Hahaha, that's simple, just meet once.
Little Akina also reacted: "Is Naoki-san going back to Japan today?"
"Ah, transfer, arrived in Los Angeles in the morning, originally had to wait for 6 hours, the plane was a bit delayed."
Naoki Nagayama hadn't finished speaking, Yuzo Shimada was more anxious than him: "Isn't it already going to be late? Was the plane delayed for a long time?"
"No, thinking that if I wait for the transfer in vain, it would be too boring~" Naoki Nagayama shrugged, "Just happened to have never been to Los Angeles, so I thought I'd have a good time here."
A few people chatted while continuing to walk in the film city. Naoki Nagayama lowered the popcorn bucket he was holding: "Does Akina want to eat?"
"Hai, arigato!" Little Akina grabbed a few popcorns happily and ate them, "Speaking of which, is Naoki-san going to stay in Los Angeles for several days?"
"Should be, just arrived today. Did Akina-san arrive today too?"
"Yes, the company's arrangement was suddenly brought forward by a few days. Originally, I was going to record in the middle of the month~"
Seeing the two chatting happily, Yuzo Shimada hurriedly interrupted: "Nagayama-san, what about the ticket? Accommodation?"
This producer is a bit enthusiastic. Just met and cared about others so much, Naoki Nagayama smiled: "Thank you for your concern, Shimada-san. As for the ticket, I'll buy it when I go back, and I've already checked into the Millennium Hotel in Los Angeles."
Yuzo Shimada choked. The ticket price in this era is not a small number. If you don't buy the ticket in advance, it's more expensive. Moreover, staying at the Millennium Hotel and traveling in America casually...
A question rose involuntarily in his heart: "Nagayama-san, could it be the son of a chaebol?"
"Hahaha, Nagayama-san is actually at the Millennium Hotel? That's really not bad~" Yuzo Shimada laughed.
Akina Nakamori was curious after hearing it: "Naoki-san, where is the Millennium Hotel?"
"In the city center~" Naoki Nagayama talked about the scenery inside happily, "After going, I found that even the walls are golden, just like the Roman palace."
"Yuzo-san, do we still need to shoot?" The photography and video shooting Honda Nobuyasu and Kuroki Yuta asked at this time.
Looking at the two chatting happily, Yuzo Shimada seemed to give up:
"Shoot, of course shoot! Anyway, it looks very good! It's equal to a free model!"
Universal Studios Hollywood always has some stars coming to visit or take photos or take scenes to shoot movies, so the staff in the film city are already used to it.
But today, two Asians came to the film city, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, the two are walking in front, and there are 3 people following and shooting on the side, which is still rare in the 80s, and the return rate is at least 60%.
"Akina-san, will I affect Shimada-san and their shooting here? They seem to be shooting your itinerary?" Naoki Nagayama looked at the diligent brother behind, a bit embarrassed.
"Shouldn't have much relationship, have shot many segments with others before, such as visiting with tourists." Little Akina smiled at the lens, "Yuzo-san said before that it's best to show the most ordinary appearance~"
"Then it's really hard work~ The shooting brother and Akina-san are both very hard!" Whether it's the person shooting or the person under the lens, they all need abilities beyond ordinary people.
"Wasn't used to it at the beginning, always had to find the lens, but now I'm gradually adapting."
Akina Nakamori has already taken the popcorn bucket in her hand, and Naoki Nagayama can only take it from there if he wants to eat.
"Has Akina-san's debut time been set?"
"May 1st this year."
"Is it so precise?"
"Hai! The poster has already been made, but that is the day the record is officially released. Before that, I have to go on the show~" The voice of the idol who hasn't debuted suddenly lowered, and the worry hidden under the smile was slightly displayed, "Don't know what the debut situation will be like~"
Looking at the eyebrows that were a bit worried, but the cheeks were a bit bulging because the mouth was full of food, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but smile and took the popcorn bucket: "Akina-san, don't know if there is a problem with the debut, but if you continue to eat, there will definitely be a problem with dinner~"
"Eh?" Suddenly there was no snack, and I felt that the satisfaction was gone, "Stingy~"
"Akina-san, is there any arrangement for your dinner? Why don't we eat together?" Seeing that the weather was gradually getting late, Naoki Nagayama invited by the way.
There are many famous restaurants in Hollywood, and before coming here, Naoki Nagayama inquired with the manager of the Millennium Hotel.
The Musso & Frank restaurant here is very famous. It is said that Charlie Chaplin and Raymond Chandler are very fond of the steak in this shop, and the cocktails and dry martinis here are also very distinctive.
"There is a very famous Musso & Frank restaurant here, Hollywood stars and famous authors like to eat steak and cocktails there, which are very distinctive."
"Really?" Hearing that there is delicious food, the dry rice Akina went online immediately and discussed with Yuzo Shimada immediately.
Seeing his own idol's eyes flashing, Yuzo Shimada could only agree.
The Musso & Frank restaurant is located on the Walk of Fame, which is the place that had been walked before, and it was quite far. A group of 5 people rented a carriage to go over.
Hahaha, there are still carriages to do in the 80s.
The restaurant is simple and elegant, with solid wood partitions enclosing compartments, plus bright red leather seats, which complement the bright yellow wall lamps, as if returning to the 18th century.
A group of 5 people naturally chose a compartment. Yuzo Shimada specially sat between Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori, and pretended to be very enthusiastic and said: "The most famous thing in this restaurant is the cocktail. Akina-chan can't drink yet, Nagayama-san, let's have a drink!"
"Haha, good~" Naoki Nagayama didn't feel anything wrong at all, "Speaking of which, Akina-san is not 17 years old yet, even in America, you can't drink~"
"Humph~" Little Akina looked very disappointed, "Clearly cocktails are very famous~"
Must have drunk a lot in private!
The menu of the Musso & Frank restaurant hasn't changed for a long time. Everyone ordered the signature filet mignon, roast beef rolls, and sole.
Naoki Nagayama and Yuzo Shimada naturally ordered martini cocktails and Gibson cocktails, and the two shooting brothers also ordered drinks because they didn't need to shoot at night. Only little Akina drank orange juice.
"Nagayama-san, heard that the movie just shot has been released? It's really a thing worth celebrating!" Yuzo Shimada raised his glass to express congratulations.
"Hahaha, yes, heard that it was officially premiered the day before yesterday." Naoki Nagayama thought about the approximate time, it should be the day before yesterday.
"Nagayama-san actually doesn't know the exact time of the release?" Yuzo Shimada was surprised. This is the movie he starred in.
"Haha, people are in America, so the time in Japan is a bit blurry~"
Can I say that I came out just to avoid the premiere?
Naoki Nagayama used drinking to cover up his embarrassment, and then found that Yuzo Shimada, this guy, frequently raised his glass to invite him to drink, and the two brothers who shot and filmed also always raised their glasses to him...
What's wrong with these few people? Haven't drunk for too long?
In fact, the three of them had already discussed on the road to get Naoki Nagayama drunk as much as possible, preferably making him fall drunk directly, so he couldn't continue chatting with Akina-chan after the meal.
"Akina-san, have Yuzo-san and these two shooting brothers not drunk for a long time?"
Naoki Nagayama looked at the three dizzy people lying on the booth and asked.
At the beginning, they did constantly toast Naoki Nagayama, but after the wine, they started to toast themselves, and couldn't stop it. In the end, Naoki Nagayama was just blushing, but these three people were all drunk.
Although there were only 3 empty glasses of cocktails on the table, they had been changed for several rounds. During the meal, red wine, beer, etc. were all called up by the 3 people.
"Actually all drunk?" Little Akina also looked at the few people in surprise, "Thought they were very good at drinking before, always toasting..."
"Maybe it's because they drank too fast~" Naoki Nagayama looked at the few people who were drunk, a bit headache, "This is a headache, how to send them back?"
"Do you want us to call others to pick them up?" There were a few others who came to Los Angeles, including Nobuo Tomioka, but they were all resting in the hotel, contacting the relevant matters of recording.
"Will this cause Shimada-san and them to be ridiculed?"
"Is that so~ It seems that I can only wait for them to wake up a bit and go back." Little Akina was troubled, and then laughed: "Fortunately, Naoki-san is not drunk, otherwise it would become me a minor girl taking care of 4 drunkards~"
"Hahaha~ I'm also a bit dizzy~ but I can still hold on." Naoki Nagayama recalled, "Speaking of which, my drinking capacity is very good. People who drank with me before were basically drunk~"
"Is it so powerful?"
"Not much, when I was in New York before, I went to a club called Mudd Club, where people drank from 7 o'clock in the evening until 4 o'clock in the morning~" Naoki Nagayama remembered the experience in Mudd Club.
"Always drinking?"
"Not really, there are dancing and band concerts in Mudd Club~" Naoki Nagayama remembered the various people inside, "All sang very avant-garde and trendy music."
"Omoshiroi, Naoki-san encountered many interesting things in New York~" Little Akina's eyes were shining, and her curiosity could not be controlled.
And Naoki Nagayama's brain was also dizzy at this time, so he said everything that happened in New York: "Yes, Akina-chan, let me tell you, on the second day in New York, I ran into 3 black little thugs who wanted to rob me!"
"Eh?!
Was Naoki-san robbed? Were you injured?" Akina's tone was shocked and worried.
"Daijoubu, I am very powerful! I have been exercising, and when filming the movie, I have practiced the practical combat level to the full level!" When the head is dizzy, everything will be said,
Thinking of the guest
"Those three little thugs, I attacked with an umbrella, and all hit!"
"Eh?!
" What is an umbrella attack!
"Not only was I not injured, but I also met a very powerful street graffiti artist, Basquiat, who opened a painting exhibition in New York himself~" Naoki Nagayama thought of the friend he had known for half a day.
"Street graffiti artist?" Akina Nakamori already had question marks in her brain.
"Hai, I borrowed his spray paint and sprayed the faces of the little thugs! They never dared to come and chase me again!" Naoki Nagayama's words sounded a bit proud,
"And then I drew a stick figure graffiti in a small alley! Added my own signature 'Surprise!!! M.....' sorry, almost said a dirty word!"
Fortunately, there was still reason, otherwise saying dirty words in front of Akina, it would be social death when truly sober!
"Ha? Naoki-san's signature is actually a dirty word? Hahaha~"
"Akina-chan, let me tell you, the signature is just a form! You have to recognize it from other aspects. It is a line with deep meaning, representing the dissatisfaction and anger of the grassroots people toward reality!" Naoki Nagayama tried to explain his signature from other angles.
"Isn't that still a dirty word?" Akina Nakamori seemed to be poked at the laughing point, laughing non-stop.
"No, this is an art form. In graffiti art, it is just an image expression..." Naoki Nagayama racked his brains, trying to find a reason, "Can't make it up... hai... it is a dirty word! Hahahaha~"
The two laughed together until they couldn't close their mouths.
"Don't say I don't know, now after Akina-chan said it, I found that I actually drew so many dirty words on the streets and alleys of New York!" Naoki Nagayama thought of the graffiti action later, and felt his face red again.
"Hahaha, did you graffiti in other places later?"
"Hai, didn't let go of a whole street on Fifth Avenue!"
"Hahaha~ Naoki-san really did a very bold thing~"
Akina Nakamori felt that she had grasped Naoki's dark history, and could talk about this for a lifetime in the future~
