For several days, Nagayama Naoki cycled through these keywords: sunshine, beach, and seabed. It felt like his skin had tanned several degrees, but it made him look even more healthy and energetic.
"Robert, today's class is over, do you want to go have a drink?" Nagayama Naoki asked. In a few days of communication, he and Robert, an older kid, became good friends.
"Of course, wait for me for a moment." Robert put down the scuba and tidied up the little hair that was hanging on both sides of his scalp. Yes, this guy had the most undesirable symptom of middle-aged people - hair loss.
"Robert, just shave off the two locks of hair...it will look more stylish that way."
Nagayama Naoki watched him try hard to make the two locks of hair cover more area, but it had the opposite effect, making the bald spot more prominent.
"I don't want to be a monk!" Robert finally gave up, sighed, took a baseball cap, put it on, and walked out of the store.
I think back then, Robert was also a handsome young man with thick blond hair~
Seeing Naoki Nagayama's thick, broken hair, he couldn't help but say: "William, don't look at how much hair you have now. You might be like me when you reach middle age."
Ah! What a vicious curse!
Nagayama Naoki quickly recalled the hair of his father Nagayama Ken and grandfather Nagayama Hayato. Fortunately, there was no genetic gene for baldness in the blood of this body.
"Robert, I disappoint you, my family is full of black hair!" Then he shook his head, making Robert look jealous.
The two of them chatted and laughed and came to a bar on the beach. They sat under the hall simply built with coconut trees and sipped cocktails in the sea breeze.
Alcohol flowed into the blood, making people feel hot all over. Naoki Nagayama unbuttoned his flowered shirt, and his eight-pack abs could be seen faintly in the occasional wind. His handsome oriental face enhanced the mysterious atmosphere.
The Santa Monica beach gradually became lively in the afternoon. Many people chose to have a drink at this bar after swimming in the sea. The owner of the bar took out a guitar at the right time and asked another clerk to take over.
But on the small stage in the corner of the bar, he began to play the passionate samba, which attracted many people to dance to the rhythm, forming a small dance floor in the bar.
Robert watched Naoki Nagayama decline a hot girl who invited him to dance again, and couldn't help but ask: "William, are you an ascetic?"
"Of course not~"
"Aren't you tempted by so many young hotties? If it were me..." Robert felt a little pity, "I can look forward to a beautiful night today~"
"Hahaha, this is the difference between us, my friend." Naoki Nagayama said, "What you pursue is physical pleasure, and what I pursue is spiritual happiness."
"And you said you're not an ascetic monk!" Robert felt more and more that there was something wrong with this oriental young man. Wait, he has been hanging out with me all day these days. Could it be that he is treating me...?
But this guy William behaves very normally?
Although he does not discriminate against this orientation, it does not mean that he accepts it. Robert decided to find out.
But while he was thinking about it, Robert figured out that Naoki Nagayama was definitely not interested in him, because a group of hot girls in bikinis passed in front of them, and they seemed to be students from the same school.
Nagayama Naoki and Robert paid attention together.
When they were far away, Robert said:
"William, aren't you not interested in hot girls?"
"What are you talking about? If you're not interested in hot girls, how can you be interested in you?" Nagayama Naoki said in disgust, "I just don't want to develop further."
"Okay" Robert breathed a sigh of relief, that's fine.
"William, if any girls come to strike up a conversation later, please introduce me to them!" After relaxing, Robert joined hands and discussed, "Be my wingman~"
"Forehead......"
The way Nagayama Naoki looked at Robert, his belly was protruding, and with that funny hair,
"Who gave you the courage?"
.......
"Okay! I announce that today's recording has ended successfully!" Nobuo Tomioka said loudly to several staff members in the recording studio.
"Great!" "Yeah~" "It's time to get off work~"
After a few days of cooperation, everyone has become very familiar with each other, and everyone is very relaxed at this time.
Tomioka Nobuo asked Nakamori Akina: "Akina sauce, can you eat it these days?"
Recording from morning to night for several days in a row is indeed very tiring. A singer who has been singing all day will certainly be even more tired. If he had not learned the correct way to use his abdomen to pronounce words, his throat might have been injured.
"Yeah, stupid tape!" Akina put on a bright yellow sweatshirt again. It seemed that she had brought several sets of changes of clothes with her from Japan, so she had to wear them in rotation.
However, Nobuo Tomioka, who has rich experience, naturally understands the principle of going too far and balancing work and rest: "Akina-chan, there is no need to record tomorrow, we will shoot the location tomorrow!"
"Exterior scene?"
"Yes, I will go to the theme amusement park in the morning, and then go to the beach in the afternoon~" Nobuo Tomioka said about tomorrow's itinerary, "But we still have to remember that the main task is to shoot."
"Hi!" Although we have to shoot, being able to go out and play is much better than working in the recording studio all the time.
Early the next morning, a group of four people went to the amusement park together.
However, before going out, Nobuo Tomioka said to Yuzo Shimada in advance:
"Xiong Sanjun, I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy in my heart."
"Don't worry, Nobuo-san, I will keep a close eye on Akina-chan! I won't let anything happen to her!" Shimada Yuzo was full of confidence. The three adults were just playing with a girl, not going anywhere.
What could happen in a dangerous place?
Not mentioning myself, just look at Honda Nobuyasu and Kuroki Yuta who are carrying the camera. They are so strong. Is it possible that someone else can take care of the three of them at once?
"Okay, maybe it's just my misunderstanding. If it weren't for continuing to adjust the record, I would also want to go along."
"Du Guapao, I will bring Akina-chan back safely!"
"Hey, please!" Nobuo Tomioka added,
"However, if there is any damage to Akina-chan, it's nothing. The worst is that Yusan-kun will commit seppuku!"
"Eh???!!!"
.......
Naoki Nagayama, who completed a full round of training, finally got his junior diver certificate.
"William, after you get this qualification, it means you can dive by yourself!" Robert gave the certificate to Naoki Nagayama, "I have told you about several good diving spots in the offshore area of Los Angeles. Most of them can be dived by yourself.
Let’s try going into the water.”
"Hahaha, really?"
If you don't have a certificate, those regular stores may not rent you scuba. Of course, if you bring your own equipment, that's up to you.
Now, Naoki Nagayama can basically come and go freely at diving spots above 18 meters.
"After two days of training tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you will be qualified as an advanced diver." Robert patted Nagayama Naoki on the shoulder, "Now you can choose the diving spot you want to go to."
Naoki Nagayama happily treated Robert to lunch.
In the afternoon, he rented scuba and a boat, and drove the boat to the address provided by Robert, a fjord surrounded by two protruding cliffs. The main road was far away, and it was troublesome to climb over from the shore, so he kept
Nice natural scenery,
This is no longer an area frequented by tourists, and it is far away from the beach, but the water quality is clear and the current is not too fast.
Diving alone makes people nervous, because you are the only one around. On the silent sea floor, with the deep sea water in the distance, it seems that you are the only one left in the world, which can even cause some claustrophobia patients to develop.
But when you get used to it, you will discover the fun of diving. Every place you go may be seen by you alone. The beauty of every place exists only for you. The wonders you discover every time,
No one else has ever encountered it, and this feeling of exploration makes many diving enthusiasts addicted.
Akina Nakamori, who had already tried many projects at the theme park in the morning, also arrived at Santa Monica Beach.
"Xiong San-san, there are too many people here."
Yuta Kuroki held the camera. When the Santa Monica beach was officially busy in the afternoon, there were people in small groups basking in the sun on the beach, and there were people surfing on the beach. It was completely inappropriate for the scene to be photographed.
"Then let's go a little further away." Shimada Yuzo pointed to the shower room in the distance and Akina next to him. "Akina-san, you can change into your swimsuit here. We will go to a place with fewer people later."
Shooting~"
"Hi!"
Although she was a little shy, she had already understood this in advance. Besides, hadn’t she already been to the beach many times when she was in Japan? Xiao Mingcai had done enough psychological preparation.
Well, although swimsuits at that time were a little more conservative...
After a while, Akina Nakamori came out of the shower room and put on a swimsuit, but she still wore a sweatshirt on her upper body.
Shimada Yuzo didn’t say much. After all, it wasn’t time to shoot yet.
"Mingcai-chan, you may have to walk for a while~"
"Hi~"
As they got further and further away from the main road, the four people climbed over a hillside and came to a beach with few people.
"Just right here, Akina-chan."
Shimada Yuzo looked at an unmanned boat floating on the bay,
"It seems like no one has come back to disturb me."
For this filming, Shimada Yuzo actually had no requirements, he just let Akina play freely on the beach.
I previously wanted to find a foreign model to play an incident on the beach, but during the discussion on the night of the first day of recording, I was rejected by Nobuo Tomioka.
"Yu San-kun, Akina-chan doesn't need any more love threads, do you understand?!"
Although I don’t know why Tomioka Nobuo was so resistant, but seeing his cannibalistic look, Shimada Yuzo chose to follow his heart.
"Hey, I got it!"
So this time it became Akina's personal show.
After playing casually on the beach for more than half an hour, Xiao Mingcai felt a little tired, so she sat on a high slope and looked at the sea.
Kuroki Yuta was still holding the camera to shoot, and kept muttering in a low voice: "The light is so good! Akina-chan is also very good, this is a work!"
Suddenly, Akina seemed to have discovered something,
"Yutai-san, is that ship getting closer to us?"
"Huh?" The camera turned to the sea. Sure enough, the ship that was originally parked far away began to drift toward the beach unknowingly, and was now getting closer and closer.
"Hey Omo, Akina-chan, let's go take a look!" Shimada Yuzo whispered from the side, "Maybe it's a ghost ship!"
"Yu San-san!!!" Akina Nakamori is most afraid of ghosts.
"Hahaha, it's okay, it's just an abandoned boat at most."
As the group got closer, they discovered that this small boat was indeed just a tourist boat that can be seen everywhere on the beach, not even a fishing boat. Judging from the equipment in the boat, it was a small boat rented to tourists.
Honda Nobuyasu, who was taking photos, found the blind spot and pointed to the position of the engine. This was a boat that had just been filled with oil. It should have been rented out today!
"But how come there's no one on this ship? We've been taking photos for a long time, but we haven't seen anyone!"
Kuroki Yuta said at this time: "Is something going to happen?"
If something happens to someone, doesn’t that mean there is a corpse in this bay?!!
"..." A group of people were quiet for a while,
"Yutai-san, what are you talking about!" "Yutai-san, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you into the sea!" "Baga!"
Yuta Kuroki realized that he had aroused public anger and quickly changed the topic: "I was just talking nonsense. If someone was really in trouble in such clear water, I would have photographed it long ago!"
He said it symbolically, holding the camera to the sea: "Look, the sea water is very clear, you can even see the shadow of the reef clearly! The shadow over there is still moving...it's moving...
.”
Kuroki Yuta's eyes were fixed on the video recorder, and the camera was trembling slightly when facing the sea. He found a human-shaped shadow on the bottom of the sea moving this way!
Several people were quiet for a while. As he looked, he saw that there was a black shadow slowly drifting towards this side of the sea. It couldn't be seen clearly through the rippling waves, but it did look like a human figure.
Getting closer.....
"Ah~~~~"
Unexpectedly, the first person who couldn't stand it was Honda Nobuyasu, who had always been calm. A tall man screamed like a little girl. They were startled by the scream, and several people quickly fled to the beach.
"Xiong Sansang, we need to call the police quickly!" Xiao Mingcai stood far away on the beach, her legs were a little weak,
"Yes, call the police. The emergency number in the United States is 911, right...but we don't have a phone!" Shimada Yuzo suddenly reacted.
"Let's leave quickly!" Honda took hold of Kuroki Yuta's arm, his voice almost crying.
But Kuroki Yuta maintained the instinct of a cameraman, and actually didn’t throw away the camera yet.
"Wait... that... seems to be a person."
"Of course it's a human being!" Honda Shinan shouted excitedly.
"It seems... like a living person."
A few people looked over in surprise. As the waves receded, a head was slightly exposed. Then it slowly moved and its shoulders were also exposed. When the depth of the seawater was only the waist, the whole person stood up!
It was a man wearing a waterproof mask, a respirator, and a black full-coverage diving suit.
The man slowly walked to the boat, took off his equipment, looked at the beach and shouted: "Akina-chan? We meet again!"
At this time, Akina Nakamori walked out from behind the three adults.
"Naoki-san? Why are you here?!"
"I was diving and thought the boat was gone!"
Only then did Shimada Yuzo calm down. He looked at Naoki Nagayama with a complicated look: "Nagayama-san, are you a human or a ghost?"
