"Akina-san!" Nagayama Naoki came over, "Why are you here? Didn't you go abroad to record in the middle of the year?"
"I also want to ask Naoki-san the same question?" Xiao Mingcai smiled until her eyes turned into crescent moons, "Didn't Naoki-san go to an event in New York?"
"The event in New York has ended a long time ago. After that, I traveled around in several other cities. Today I am going back to Japan and have to transfer in Los Angeles, so I stopped by Hollywood to visit~" Naoki Nagayama saw several other people filming,
Somewhat unexpected,
"Are Akina-san filming? Did I block the camera?"
"Hahaha, no, no, let me introduce you."
Nakamori Akina was very happy to introduce them one by one, "This is the record producer Yuzo Shimada, and the photographers Honda Shinyasu and Kuroki Yuta-san~"
Then he turned to Nagayama Naoki: "Yu San-san, this is my good friend Nagayama Naoki-san. He is a movie star and a very powerful creator ~ the author of "Second Love"!"
"Haha, I will blush if Akina-san praises me like this~" Naoki Nagayama smiled and greeted everyone, "First time we meet~ I am Naoki Nagayama."
A simple white shirt and black trousers highlighted her slender figure, her fresh and neat broken hair revealed her elegant facial features, and her smiling peach blossom eyes added a touch of gentleness to her face.
Such a clean and cheerful handsome young man does not need any more decoration at all. Standing in the crowd, he has a different dimension of style.
Shimada Yuzo has always paid no attention to the so-called "threat" to the Akina-chan business described by Terabayashi Chao and Tomioka Nobuo.
It's just a girl who encounters an ignorant love when she is young and frivolous.
Until this moment... "It's true!"
Then he remembered what Tomioka Nobuo said when chatting in private: "We must not let them have any more contact with us!"
"Nani?" Xiao Akina seemed to hear Shimada Yuzo's whispered words, "What is Yuzo-san talking about?"
"No, no, I didn't say anything." Shimada Yuzo came back to his senses, "So, Nagayama-san is connecting flights in Los Angeles? When is the flight?"
As expected of an experienced producer, he found the blind spot as soon as he turned his head. If he changed his mind, does that mean he would fly away soon?
Haha, that's easy, just meet once.
Xiao Mingna also reacted: "Is Naoki-san going back to Japan today?"
"Ah, connecting flight, I arrived in Los Angeles in the morning. I originally had to wait for 6 hours, but the plane was still a little delayed."
Before Nagayama Naoki finished speaking, Shimada Yuzo was even more anxious than himself: "Isn't it already late? Is the plane delayed for a long time?"
"No, it would be too boring to wait for a connecting flight in vain~" Naoki Nagayama shrugged, "I haven't been to Los Angeles before, so I just thought I'd have some fun here."
Several people continued walking in the movie theater while chatting. Naoki Nagayama lowered the popcorn bucket he was holding and asked, "Do you want to eat Akina?"
"Hi, Arigado!" Xiao Mingcai happily grabbed some popcorn and ate it, "So, Naoki-san is going to stay in Los Angeles for a few days?"
"I guess so. I just came today. Did Akina-san also arrive today?"
"Yes, the company's arrangements were suddenly advanced a few days. We were originally supposed to be recording in the middle of the month~"
Seeing that the two of them were chatting, Shimada Yuzo hurriedly interrupted: "Nagayama-san, what about the air tickets? Where is the accommodation?"
This producer was a bit enthusiastic, and he cared so much about others when we first met him. Naoki Nagayama smiled and said, "Thank you Shimada-san for your concern. I'll buy the air tickets when I go back. I've already checked in at the Millennium Hotel in Los Angeles."
"
Shimada Yuzo choked. The price of air tickets in this era is not a small amount. It is even more expensive if you don't buy the tickets in advance. Moreover, I stayed in an old high-end hotel like the Millennium Hotel. I used to travel to various cities in the United States casually.
, so young, where does the money come from?
A question involuntarily arose in my mind: "Could it be that Nagayama-san is the son of a chaebol?"
"Hahaha, Nagayama-san is actually at the Millennium Hotel? That's really cool~" Shimada Yuzo said haha.
Nakamori Akina was curious after hearing this: "Naoki-san, where is the Millennium Hotel?"
"It's in the city center~" Nagayama Naoki happily talked about the scenery. "After I went there, I realized that even the walls were golden, just like a palace in Rome."
"Yu San-san, are we still filming?" Honda Nobuyasu and Kuroki Yuta, who were in charge of the filming, asked at this time,
Looking at the two people chatting happily, Shimada Yuzo seemed to have given up:
"Shoot, of course I'll take it! Anyway, she looks great! She's like a free model!"
...
At Universal Studios in Hollywood, there are always some celebrities visiting or taking photos or filming movies, so the studio staff are used to it.
But today, two Asians came to the movie theater, a handsome man and a pretty girl. The two of them were walking in front, and there were three people around them who were following and taking pictures. This was still rare in the 1980s, and the rate of return was at least 60%.
Yes.
"Akina-san, will my being here affect Shimada-san and the others' filming? They seem to be filming your trip, right?" Nagayama Naoki looked at the conscientious little brother behind him, a little embarrassed.
"It probably doesn't matter. I've filmed a lot of clips with other people before, traveling with tourists and so on." Xiao Mingna smiled at the camera, "Yu San-san said before that just act the most normal way~"
"It was really hard work~ The guy who took the photo and Akina-san had a hard time!" Both the person taking the photo and the person under the camera need to have abilities beyond ordinary people.
"At the beginning, I was not used to it. I always had to look for the camera, but now I'm getting used to it."
Akina Nakamori already had the popcorn bucket in her hand, and Naoki Nagayama had no choice but to take it from there if he wanted to eat it.
"Has Akina-san's debut time been set?"
"May 1 this year."
"Is it that accurate?"
"Hi! The poster has been made, but it's the day when the record is officially released, and it will be on the show before then~" The voice of the undebuted idol suddenly dropped, and the worry that had been hidden under the smile was slightly revealed,
“I still don’t know what the debut situation will be like~”
Looking at the little fat man with worried brows but bulging cheeks due to the food in his mouth, Nagayama Naoki couldn't help but smile and took the popcorn bucket: "Akina-san, are you having any problems with your debut?"
I know, but if I continue to eat, there will definitely be something wrong with dinner~"
"Eh?" Suddenly there were no snacks, and I suddenly felt less satisfied, "Stingy~"
"Mingna-san, do you have any plans for dinner? How about eating together?" Seeing that it was getting late, Naoki Nagayama invited him by the way.
There are many famous restaurants in Hollywood, and Naoki Nagayama had inquired with the manager of the Millennium Hotel before coming here.
The Musso & Frank restaurant here is very famous. It is said that both Charlie Chaplin and Raymond Chandler were very fond of the steaks in this restaurant, and the cocktails and dry martinis here are also very unique.
"There is a very famous Musso & Frank restaurant here. Hollywood stars and famous writers like to eat there. The steaks and cocktails are very special."
"Really?" When I heard that there was something delicious, the dry rice was immediately available, and I immediately discussed it with Shimada Yuzo.
Seeing his idol's eyes sparkling, what else could Shimada Yuzo do but agree.
The musso & frank restaurant is located on the Avenue of Stars, a place we have visited before. It is quite far away. The group rented a carriage to go there.
Haha, in the 1980s you could still make horse-drawn carriages.
The restaurant as a whole is simple and elegant, with solid wood partitions enclosing each compartment, plus bright red leather seats, which complement the bright yellow wall lamps. The whole thing feels like returning to the 18th century.
A group of 5 people naturally chose a booth. Shimada Yuzo specially sat between Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori, and pretended to be very enthusiastic and said: "The most famous thing about this restaurant is the cocktails, Akina sauce is not enough
Drink, Yongshan-san, let’s have a drink!”
"Haha, okay~" Nagayama Naoki didn't feel anything was wrong at all, "By the way, Akina-san is not 17 years old yet, and you can't drink alcohol even in the United States~"
"Hmph~" Xiao Mingcai looked very disappointed, "Obviously the cocktail is very famous~"
I definitely drank a lot in private!
The menu of the musso & frank restaurant has not changed for a long time, and the group all ordered the signature filet mignon, roast beef rolls and fish dragon.
Naoki Nagayama and Yuzo Shimada naturally ordered martini cocktails and Gibson cocktails, while the two photographers ordered drinks because they didn't have to shoot at night, and only Akina drank orange juice.
"Nagayama-san, I heard that the movie you just shot has been released? It's really worthy of congratulations!" Yuzo Shimada raised his glass to express his congratulations.
"Hahaha, yes, I heard it was officially premiered the day before yesterday." Nagayama Naoki thought about the approximate time, and it should be the day before yesterday.
"Naoki-san doesn't know the exact time of release?" Shimada Yuzo was surprised, this is a movie starring.
"Haha, are you in the United States? I'm a little confused about the time in Japan~"
Can you say that you came out just to avoid the premiere?
Naoki Nagayama resorted to drinking to cover up his embarrassment, and then he discovered that this guy Shimada Yuzo frequently raised glasses to invite him to drink, and the two guys who were filming and filming also always raised glasses to him...
What's going on with these people? Have they not drank for a long time?
In fact, the three of them had already discussed it on the road to drink as much wine as possible from Nagayama Naoki. It would be best to make him drunk directly so that he would not be able to continue chatting with Akina-chan after the meal.
...
"Akina-san, Yusan-san and these two photographer guys, haven't you had a drink for a long time?"
Nagayama Naoki looked at the three people who were dizzy and fell on the booth and asked,
In the beginning, it was true that they kept toasting Naoki Nagayama, but after they got drunk, they started to toast themselves without being able to stop them. In the end, Naoki Nagayama just blushed, but all three of them were drunk.
Although there were only three empty cocktail glasses on the table, they had been replaced several times. During the meal, red wine, beer and other alcoholic drinks were ordered by three people.
"Are they all drunk?" Xiao Mingcai looked at the group of people in surprise, "I thought that these people were very good at drinking. They kept toasting..."
"Maybe I drank too much~" Nagayama Naoki looked at the drunken people and had a headache. "I have a headache now. How can I send them back?"
"Should we call someone else to pick us up?" There were several other people who came to Los Angeles together, including Nobuo Tomioka, but they were all repairing in the hotel and contacting them about recording matters.
"Wouldn't this make Shimada-san and the others laugh at you?"
"That's it~ It seems that we can only wait until they sober up a little before going back." Xiao Mingna became distressed, and then laughed again: "Fortunately Naoki-san is not drunk, otherwise I would be an underage girl taking care of four drunk people.
Han~"
"Hahaha~ I was a little dizzy~ but I can still hold on." Nagayama Naoki recalled, "Speaking of which, I have a good drinking capacity. People who drank with me in the past were basically drunk~"
"Is it so powerful?"
"It's nothing. When I was in New York, I went to a club called mudd club. People there drank from 7pm to 4am~" Naoki Nagayama thought of his experience in mudd club.
"Have you been drinking?"
"No, there are dancing and band concerts in mudd club~" Nagayama Naoki thought of all kinds of people inside, "The music they sing is all very avant-garde and trendy."
"Omosi, Naoki-san has encountered a lot of interesting things in New York~" Xiao Mingcai's eyes were shining, and her curiosity could no longer be controlled.
Naoki Nagayama's mind was also a little groggy at this time, so he told everything that happened in New York: "Yes, Akina-chan, let me tell you, on the second day in New York, I met three people
Black punks are going to rob!”
"Eh?! Was Naoki-san robbed? Were you injured?" Akina's tone was shocked and worried.
"Stupid Tape, I'm very good! I have been practicing all the time, and I have reached the full level of practical level when I was filming the movie!" When my head is dizzy, I will say anything that I said in the second grade.
"Those three little gangsters, I hit them all with just one umbrella attack!"
"Eh?!!" What the hell is an umbrella attack?
"Not only was he not injured, but he also met a very powerful street graffiti artist, Basquiat, who opened a painting exhibition in New York~" Naoki Nagayama thought of the friend he had known for a long time.
"Street graffiti artist?" Nakamori Akina already has question marks in her mind.
"Hey, I borrowed his spray paint and spray-painted the gangster's face! They will never dare to chase me again!" Nagayama Naoki sounded a little proud,
"Then I also drew a stick figure graffiti in an alley! I added it with my own signature 'suprise!!! m...' Private Marseille, I almost said swear words!"
Fortunately, he is still sensible, otherwise if he said dirty words in front of Akina, he would be dead if he really wakes up!
"Huh? Naoki-san's signature is actually a curse word? Hahaha~"
"Akina-chan, let me tell you, the signature is just a formality! You have to understand it from other aspects. It is a deeply meaningful line that represents the dissatisfaction and anger of the people at the bottom of reality!" Naoki Nagayama tried to explain from other angles.
own signature.
"Isn't that still a curse word?" Akina Nakamori seemed to be struck by the punchline and kept laughing.
"No, this is an art form. In graffiti art, it is just an expression of image..." Naoki Nagayama racked his brains, trying to find a reason, "I really can't make it up...
..Hey...it's just a curse word! Hahahaha~"
The two of them laughed from ear to ear together.
"You wouldn't know if you didn't tell me, but now after Akina-chan told me, I realized that I had drawn so many swear words in the streets of New York!" Naoki Nagayama felt his face turn red again when he thought of his subsequent graffiti actions.
"Hahaha, did you graffiti in other places after that?"
"Hey, the entire Fifth Avenue block has been spared!"
"Hahaha~ Naoki-san really did something very brave~"
Akina Nakamori feels like she has captured Naoki’s dark history, and she can talk about this for the rest of her life~
