Chapter 231: Where exactly did Akina-chan's lost clothes go?
Although it felt very simple when taking the class, most people actually couldn't stand up on the skateboard when surfing for the first time.
Unlike the skateboard on the ground, the ground was stable at that time, while when surfing, the water surface is constantly flowing, so stabilizing the center of gravity is not a simple matter.
However, sitting on the surfboard waiting for the arrival of the waves, starting to paddle, feeling the power of the seawater pushing the surfboard, feeling the extreme current under the waves, feeling the sea itself—when standing up from the surfboard, a feeling of freedom arises spontaneously!
However, in the next second, he couldn't control his body and fell back into the sea~
"Hahaha, Naoki-san, you fell again." Ozaki Takao was holding onto the surfboard next to him and laughing at Naoki Nagayama.
"You guy, aren't you the same?" They are all beginners, what is there to say.
"Hahaha~"
For the sport of surfing, after learning the basic routines, the rest is constant practice, constant adjustment, and honing one's skills.
A single surfing lesson took at least three hours; even with a young body like Naoki Nagayama's, he felt exhausted, and his skin had been beaten red by the sea.
At noon, most people went back. However, Naoki Nagayama and Ozaki Takao and several locals still wanted to continue practicing in the afternoon. These people and Coach White had a meal at a small restaurant next to the beach.
Local delicacies combining American and Japanese characteristics, Loco
Moco, really speaking, is actually hamburger patty rice, with two fried eggs added. However, the local characteristic sauce and other ingredients still made Naoki Nagayama feel novel.
During the meal, he could also hear Coach White bragging to familiar people about the new knowledge he had just learned today, about the eight extreme challenges, including what kind of sublimation and Nirvana can be achieved after success, which made the beach hotties with hot bodies amazed.
There were also many eyes falling on Naoki Nagayama on the side. The handsome and handsome Oriental face made these girls' eyes light up.
After eating, naturally, he had to rest.
Naoki Nagayama rented a parasol and a lounge chair, found an empty coconut tree, and leisurely ate a dessert made of acai, bananas, strawberries, oats, and soy milk.
"Naoki-san, why don't you chat for a while longer?" Ozaki Takao looked like a master of the scene, just slipped out from among a group of girls, and winked, "The girls in Xia Weiyi are very enthusiastic!"
"Alright, I just want to travel well when I come out, I don't want these."
"Eh?" Ozaki Takao looked a bit suspicious. "Could it be that Naoki-san you are...?"
"Ehehe~ Ozaki-san, you have to be careful tonight~" Naoki Nagayama smiled "insidiously."
"Tch, you guy..." Ozaki Takao was speechless. "Speaking of which, do you still want to practice surfing in the afternoon?"
"Of course, I plan to practice at least until I can surf on ordinary waves~"
"Doesn't that take a long time?"
"Anyway, I'm not in a hurry."
While Naoki Nagayama was vacationing in Xia Weiyi,
Akina Nakamori, who returned to the apartment, finally discovered one thing.
Her clothes were left in Naoki Nagayama's car!
She was picked up early the next morning after being drunk, and then went to another place to film for two days, busy until dark.
Until returning to the apartment today, she found that there was still a new dress in the laundry basket in the bathroom that needed to be washed.
And then she found that the old dress was gone.
"It must be that I was a bit drunk that day, and forgot when I came back." Akina covered her face, feeling her cheeks under her palms heating up. "What should I do... Call to ask for it? Pretend I don't know? Go to Sanying-in to get it? Did Naoki-san discover it? If he didn't discover it, it would always be in the car? If he discovered it, why didn't he notify me?"
Little Akina's brain became very messy all of a sudden, and various thoughts surrounding this piece of clothing kept turning up.
And what exactly happened to the lost clothes?
After Naoki Nagayama discovered it, he thought that it might not be appropriate for him to notify her, so he privately handed it to Tsuruko Nagayama, wanting her to notify Akina. And after Tsuruko woke up the next day, she planned to wash the clothes together before notifying Akina.
Then, a phone call from her mother came, and the two girls hurriedly started to organize things. The dried clothes were all placed in the bedroom, and the washed dress was folded and placed in the cabinet of the second bedroom by Nana-chan, thinking it was Tsuruko's... Tsuruko didn't see it and forgot about it.
So, the lost clothes are now placed in the cabinet of the second bedroom.
Shuichi Ido in the studio, listening to Yoshimura Otomo's relayed words, smiled helplessly on his face.
"Our Naoki-san, he really is a free and easy person!"
Clearly, it is the most important first month of the new movie "Hachiko Monogatari," but he actually went abroad to vacation leisurely. "Clearly, there is no need to go to promotional activities this time..."
Yoshimura Otomo laughed on the side: "Hahaha, this is the Naoki-san we know~ However, Shuichi-san, how is the movie's box office?"
"It has already broken the record!" Speaking of this, Shuichi Ido couldn't help but get excited. "According to the first-line news from the movie theater, the arranged screenings are always full, and there are many people who led more people to watch it again after watching it once!"
"Is it so popular?"
"Hai, I think this time it is very likely to set a movie box office record!"
"Really?!" Yoshimura Otomo was also excited. "If so, if so, Tree Friend Films is very likely to become a movie production company with a box office of over 10 billion!"
In the Japanese film industry, if the cumulative box office breaks 10 billion, it absolutely cannot be said to be a small company. That is to say, the number of movies produced at present is small. Otherwise, at least it could have been ranked among the names of medium-sized film and television companies.
"Shuichi-san, you are also going to become a director who directed a film of over 10 billion!"
"Hahaha, it seems so~"
Shuichi Ido couldn't help but feel ambitious in his heart. Two years ago, he was still a frustrated commercial director. After this time, maybe he could hang a title of a famous director!
"Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, what are you chatting about so happily?"
Renbo Shimizu pushed the door and walked in, looking at the three desks in the small office, thinking about when he could move in.
"Chatting about the box office of the new movie, the trend is very good!"
"Indeed, this is all the credit of the great director Shuichi Ido!"
Renbo Shimizu didn't understand the role Naoki Nagayama played in the film, and really thought he was just a screenwriter. Shuichi Ido and Yoshimura Otomo also tacitly didn't explain too much.
"Hahaha, where, where~ It's all the concerted cooperation of the crew staff." Shuichi Ido waved his hand modestly. "Is Shimizu-san looking for us for anything?"
"Ah, hai, there is indeed something I want to discuss with the two of you." Renbo Shimizu handed the plan in his hand to Shuichi Ido. "The previous movie has been filmed, and the next movie can also be prepared. I have found some scripts through previous relationships, and I would like to ask Shuichi-san and Otomo-san to see if there are any suitable ones."
The first few movies of Tree Friend Films were either low-cost or directly invested by Naoki Nagayama and the few of them, so whether to shoot could be decided by the three people in one word.
And a truly commercialized movie production company has to select suitable scripts, set up projects, and then take the project plan to pull sponsorships and investments everywhere. From determining the script to the release, it may not be done in a few months.
"So that's it, Shimizu-san has a heart!" Shuichi Ido nodded. "We will read it carefully and communicate with you after we see it."
"Hai, please take care of it."
After Renbo Shimizu went out, Yoshimura Otomo, who had been silent, chatted with Shuichi Ido: "Shimizu-san is really capable, and he is also very hard-working."
"Yeah, we indeed also need to learn from regular production companies." Shuichi Ido said like this. "However, wanting to invest one's own money, I always feel that it's not the script brought out by Naoki-san, and I'm a bit uneasy."
"Hahaha, then find an investor~ Other companies also came over like this, right?" Yoshimura Otomo laughed. "Naoki-san also said that Tree Friend Films can also try to take on movies. The money earned can be given to employees~"
"Also, Otomo-san, hurry and come help me look at it together~"
Time passed in a flash. Naoki Nagayama had already practiced surfing at Waikiki Beach for three days.
Now his skin has become a bit dark, and he is sprinting on the small waves on the sea in a decent way.
"Naoki-san, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are already very familiar with surfing~" Ozaki Takao saw that Naoki Nagayama was resting, so he came over to say hello.
This guy, after practicing for a day, didn't want to continue anymore. In his words: "I came here to play surfing, not to let surfing play with me."
After that, he plunged into parties, balls, beach volleyball, etc., which were not so difficult activities. These few days, he was singing and dancing every night, very chic.
"Takao, you guy, have you finally come out of the arms of beauties?" Naoki Nagayama took the iced beer handed over. "Do you want to return to the embrace of surfing?"
"Not at all~" Ozaki Takao refused without hesitation. "I came to find you today because more and more people have been discussing the eight challenges during this period. A group of idle rich second generations are very curious and want to see you, the person who said it earliest. They rented a yacht and plan to hold a party~"
"How about it, are you interested?"
"Forget it, go be a monkey?"
Naoki Nagayama didn't want to go either. Going to an activity he didn't like, surrounded by strangers he didn't know, and being examined like an exhibit, he just wanted to vacation in Xia Weiyi, so he naturally wanted to be happy.
"If you don't go, they will probably ask me." Ozaki Takao looked embarrassed, not because of being questioned, but "someone has already called these eight challenges 'Ozaki Eight.' Isn't this robbing you of your reputation?"
Haha, is this the corrective force of history?
Naoki Nagayama laughed: "Hahaha, it doesn't matter if it's called that. It was originally an unsystematic theory I heard from others."
Ozaki Takao's face looked better. He was still a sunny rich second generation, without that kind of high-and-mighty arrogance: "If it didn't have a name originally, I will still make it clear when the time comes. How about calling it 'Hachi no Kiwami' (The Eight Extremes)?"
"Sounds like a nickname for a gangster."
"Hahaha, that's cool, isn't it!"
After opening this topic, Naoki Nagayama was also a bit bored with surfing for several consecutive days. "Takao-san, I heard that at night, the Volcano Park in Honolulu can be visited. Do you want to go see it together?"
"Oh? Really?"
Some time ago, due to air pressure or some other reason, the Volcano Park issued a notice that it was not suitable for visiting, and it was withdrawn today.
Speaking of which, volcanoes, lava, etc., which boy would not be interested?
Xia Weiyi Volcano Park is on the southern Dadao. Two people who are not short of money brought flashlights and warm clothes, bought plane tickets directly in the afternoon, took a one-hour flight to the southern Dadao, and then rented a car near the airport, preparing to drive directly to Xia Weiyi Volcano Park.
"Naoki-san, you can drive, right?"
"Of course, but it's a Japanese driver's license~"
"Me too."
Just like that, the two still rented an off-road vehicle. Sure enough, as long as the money is in place in a foreign country...
Taking advantage of the good light in the evening, the two drove at full speed toward the volcano. That curling black smoke is the best sign.
Kilauea Volcano, located on the southeast slope of Mauna Loa Volcano, is the youngest and most active volcano in the world. Naoki Nagayama vaguely remembered that it would erupt once next year, and then it would remain in an active state.
According to the indicator signs, the two drove along the Chain
of
Crate
Road leading to the seaside. Along the way, they saw large areas of solidified black magma on both sides of the road, gray-white ashes left after trees were burned, ruins of small town buildings destroyed, as well as deserts, rainforests, etc.
On the way, they also got off the car briefly to experience the volcanic lava pipes that can be walked through and also saw the lava sea arch formed after the magma entered the sea.
The two finally came to the Kilauea Observation Deck. Under the action of the red sunset and smoke, the lava couldn't be seen clearly. Ozaki Takao was eating a hamburger bought at the airport and poured a mouthful of cola.
"Naoki-san, it doesn't look like there's anything good to see. It's about the same as the hot springs in Japan, misty."
Mount Fuji is also an active volcano. Sometimes you can see smoke floating out of the crater, so the crater of this Kilauea Volcano doesn't look special. At most, the whole area around it is black volcanic rock and gray volcanic ash.
Naoki Nagayama was also chewing a hamburger: "It is said that you can only see it clearly at night. Wait a while and the sky will darken."
The two chatted and talked about mountains, waiting for more than an hour. The disappearance of the sun was accompanied by a rapid drop in temperature, but the sky did not become pitch black, because the rare starry sky and the moon replaced the position of the sun, but this time it was cold light that was emitted.
At this time, the red light in the huge crater was visible to the naked eye, and the hot magma was constantly surging, as if it were the poisonous fire constantly vomited by hell. But above the red light, it was actually an empty starry sky, sprinkling faint white light with coldness.
Naoki Nagayama pressed the shutter while admiring:
"It's really spectacular! Earth and sky, magma and stars and moon, red light and cold brilliance, the opposition and fusion of yin and yang seem to be just right."
Ozaki Takao was also greatly shocked after seeing it, excited for a long time, and popped out a sentence: "I think so too!"
At this time, he deeply felt the poverty of his language.
He was very ashamed that he didn't study Japanese well when he was in high school and university... ===== CHAPTER 232 =====
