236, Ozaki Eight Challenges or something, is it fake?
...
Nagayama Nanako finally called,
If my underage daughter takes her best friend to live with her brother in Tokyo, and then goes crazy and forgets to go home, even if she is not in a hurry, her best friend's parents will be worried.
"Hey...Ogasan, there are still many places in Tokyo that I haven't visited..."
"Tsuruko, didn't you already go there once in the first half of the year? Why do you always stay at Naoki's place with your friends during the holidays and have fun! Besides, you are already a sophomore in high school, and Nai-chan still has cram school to attend.
Woolen cloth!"
"Hi, hi! I got it~ I'll be back tomorrow!"
Although Tsuruko seemed to want to play for a while longer, she finally gave in to her mother's suppression and told Nagayama Naoki aggrievedly: "Ni-chan, mom asked me to go back tomorrow..."
"You can go back if you want. It's not like you can't come back again~" Naoki Nagayama smiled and comforted, "I really like staying in Tokyo. I can just get admitted to a university in Tokyo next year."
"It will take a long time..." Hezi took Xiao Nai's arm and lay on the sofa as decadently as a squid on a puddle of eucalyptus board...
Tsubakiya Kona covered her mouth and snickered.
"By the way, Tsuruko, I almost forgot to tell you, when you go back this time, take Taro Taro back to your hometown and stay there for a while~"
"Eh? What's wrong?"
"I plan to travel to Honolulu later..."
Tsuruko's envious little eyes came online immediately, meaning "Take me with you! Take me with you!"
"Don't even think about it!" Nagayama Naoki refused mercilessly, "Father and mother will not let you go out. This time you will be out for more than half a month, and you should start school by then."
"Why is this..." Tsuruko changed from a live fish into a hopeless salted fish, "Yutaro, your master is going to abandon you again. From now on, the two of us will depend on each other~"
He touched the smiling dog head next to him. This guy had no idea what was going on.
He even didn't know that his master was going to throw him back to his hometown in Shizuoka again.
.......
After sending Tsuruko and Xiaonai, the two of them and the dog, to the station, Nagayama Naoki came to the studio, the home base of Shuyou Films, for the first time in a long time.
Unexpectedly, there were very few people in the studio, especially the staff related to the filming were basically absent.
Shuichi Indo, who usually stayed in the studio, was not there, but Otomo Yoshimura, who used to travel around a lot, was actually drinking tea leisurely in the office.
"Otomo-san, how strange it is that I can meet you in the office." Nagayama Naoki greeted, "Shuichi-san is not here, and Mina-san from the film crew has also gone out."
"Ha, it's unusual for Naoki-san to come to the office." Yoshimura Otomo poured tea for Nagayama Naoki, "Shuichi-san and the leading actors of "Hachiko Monogatari" are running around to promote."
"It's none of my business, I'm just a screenwriter~" Nagayama Naoki said shamelessly, "Why didn't anyone else see it?"
"Ah, the film crew." Yoshimura Otomo seemed to have remembered something, "Qingmizu-san saw that the film crew had nothing to do after the movie ended. It was strange, so he lent the film crew out."
"Eh? Lend it out?"
"Hey, I just contacted other crews and asked the crew to help." Fangcun Otomo said, "Although the money I earned is a little less, at least I have income, and I don't support people in vain."
"As expected, it is from a capitalist company." Nagayama Naoki sighed, "It is quite capable of squeezing employees."
Yoshimura Otomo said: "This is like a normal company. Although it was easy when there were no projects in the past, Mina-san's heart was also unstable."
Nagayama Naoki had forgotten that in this positive Showa era, working hard to make money was the mainstream of the workplace. Salary thieves, fishermen at work, and not striving for advancement would be laughed at.
"Well~ Since Mina-san works so hard, it would be nice to have more red envelopes at the end of the year~"
Nagayama Naoki doesn't care about the dividends from some small projects. Shuyou Pictures makes most of its money from its own movie projects. Nagayama Naoki, Yoshimura Otomo, and Yin Tangxiu get enough. The money they earn from doing odd jobs as part-time workers is enough.
Think of it as fighting for their year-end bonus.
"Hahaha, I'd like to thank Naoki-san on behalf of the employees~" Yoshimura Otomo smiled. Sure enough, this was the Naoki Nagayama he knew.
"By the way, Otomo-san, I came here today because I have something I want to talk about."
"Nani?"
"I've been planning to travel for a while, to Honolulu~" Nagayama Naoki informed his travel plan, "About a month or so."
By the way, the deadline was extended, which means that I don’t want to take care of anything for a month.
"Eh? Are you going to travel again? I'm so envious~" Fangcun Otomo was jealous. He had only gone out for a month in the spring, and now he was going out again...
"Hahaha, summer in Tokyo is too hot~"
Since there was no reason to stop it, Yoshimura Otomo rolled his eyes: "Since Naoki-san is going out to play, let's arrange some things first so as not to be disturbed in the middle of the play."
"Of course, I came here today to settle what needs to be solved in advance." Nagayama Naoki was very happy after hearing this. He was naturally very unhappy when a job came to his door during the holiday.
"Naoki-san, by the way, Junko Into's second song has been released for quite some time. Do you have any plans for her next song?" Yoshimura Otomo looked at Nagayama Naoki with eyes full of hope.
Junko Into can be said to be a very successful idol launched by GG Studio. Her debut song and subsequent songs have both ranked in the top ten of the Oricon charts. If she continues to work hard, she is very likely to become a national-level idol.
idol,
With such a precedent, Yoshimura Otomo is also full of confidence in the development of the idol agency, and is already considering whether to expand its manpower and sign a few more artists.
"...Otomo-san, why are you trying to trick me again?"
Naoki Nagayama was speechless, Shuichi Indo was thinking about his script, and Otomo Yoshimura was thinking about his music library. Although he just recalled a song two days ago, he gave it to Junko Indo, and it always felt like
unwilling.....
"Yinto Junko's popularity is still rising. If she has more famous songs, she might become a top idol!" Yoshimura Otomo said excitedly.
Nagayama Naoki came up with his idea: "Otomo-san, look at which top idol only sings the songs of one creator. Now rather than saying that Junko-chan has the potential to become a top idol, it is better to talk about the songs I created.
You must have the ability to make people become top idols."
"That's true~" Yoshimura Otomo said, "But what's the difference? Isn't this a win-win situation? Junko-san is our artist to begin with."
"But~" Nagayama Naoki sighed, "Otomo-san, have you ever considered that my creative ability is not stable? What if I have no inspiration? Will the national idol collapse?"
"No inspiration?"
Yoshimura Otomo frowned. He really hadn't considered this. Ever since he started his business, everything had gone smoothly, and he had never considered relying too much on Naoki Nagayama.
"So, we still need to find other sources of songs~" Naoki Nagayama reminded, "We also need to create a sustainable method of cultivating idols."
Fangcun Otomo was silent for a while, "I understand!"
After chatting about some other issues, Nagayama Naoki left the studio with a relaxed expression on his face: "Finally got Otomo Sangei Lake over!"
If you rely on yourself for everything, won’t you become a laborer again?
You definitely can’t do that!
...
The sunshine in Tokyo in August seems to be turned on at its maximum power, scorching everything under the sky, making the road surface slightly distorted, making the corners of the leaves curl and turn yellow, and making the grass in the corners wither and dry...
High-rise buildings and low-rise buildings all maintained the same silence in this weather, waiting hard for the high temperature to pass.
Only the green plants that are watered by the municipal greening staff from time to time, and the tall trees with deep roots in the earth, are still stubborn enough to maintain a vibrant green color, giving the insects a little green shade under the blazing sunshine.
Under the scorching sun, even if we are the oldest among all things, if we don't have protective measures, our skin will turn red after a while, and at least one shade darker by the end of the day.
As a result, the city seemed to have pressed the pause button in broad daylight, appearing empty and quiet. Only a few figures of Miu Miu had to step out of the air conditioner and face the blazing sunshine due to work requirements.
Nagayama Naoki waited under the shade of a tree for a long time before taking a taxi, and rushed to the Tokyo airport with a small suitcase.
After reporting to relevant parties, we officially embarked on our vacation.
It takes about 6-7 hours from Tokyo to Honolulu International Airport in Hawaii. Basically, you go in the morning, and you can start enjoying the sun, beach and waves in the afternoon.
Apart from the plane being slightly delayed, there were no other problems along the way. By the time Nagayama Naoki arrived in another country, the sky had already darkened.
After coming out of Oahu's international airport, we took a taxi for more than an hour before we arrived at the booked hotel, The Royal Hawaiian.
Naoki Nagayama got out of the taxi and looked at this hotel that had gone through half a century. He couldn't help but be amazed by its Moorish style and special pink appearance.
In fact, pink was still a popular color in modern American architecture during the era of hotel construction~
"Well, a fierce male fan, it is indeed the choice of a real man!"
It was already late when we checked in. Naoki Nagayama had changed into the iconic Hawaiian floral shirt, large pants and sandals in his room. Apart from his fair complexion, he already looked like an authentic native Hawaiian.
When night falls, the real carnival begins.
Entering the dinner venue, a Hawaiian beauty wearing a grass skirt will present you with a garland of shells and flowers.
Next, there is the unique Hawaiian style barbecue wild boar feast at Azure Restaurant at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. It is a delicacy that anyone who has just arrived here must try.
The production method is said to be learned from the indigenous people. You need to dig a big hole in the ground, surround it with a circle of stones, heat the stones with a fire, and at the same time marinate the wild pork and put some heated stones in it.
In the pig's belly, wrap the whole pig with large banana leaves and put it into the pit. Finally, cover it with soil and wait for the temperature of the stone to cook it.
The 6-hour production process, the internal and external heating process, allows the flavor of the seasonings and the fragrance of banana leaves to slowly penetrate into the meat. The entire production process is equivalent to roasting, stewing, and steaming at the same time, and finally the finished wild boar is made.
The skin is crispy and the meat is crispy, delicious and fragrant.
The steaming hot wild boar meat is fragrant, tender, fat but not greasy, and paired with sauces, salads, desserts and staple food, it is the best welcome to tourists coming to Hawaii!
Under the dark night, local actors will also perform Polynesian music and dance.
It's a pity that this time it's not the famous hula dance, but the fire knife dance of a few strong men wearing local costumes, and then spinning short sticks with flaming sticks on both ends.
The strong men began to dance and spin to the rhythm of the drums. The costumes that only covered the vital parts highlighted the masculinity in the dance. When the flames connected into one piece, it really seemed like they were holding a circle in their hands.
Like a wheel of fire, it aroused exclamations from the audience present.
It feels a bit like Brother Monkey turning the golden hoop!
.......
On his first night in Hawaii, Naoki Nagayama slept peacefully. Not to mention anything else, the sound of the waves alone was the best white noise to help him sleep.
Early the next morning, Naoki Nagayama enjoyed local hot scones for breakfast, which were soft, smooth and fragrant. Then he took his camera and couldn't wait to start his trip to Hawaii.
When you come to Hawaii, you naturally want to enjoy the sun, sand and waves. Just outside the Royal Hawaiian Hotel is the famous Waikiki Beach. The umbrellas here are pink and the surfboards are also pink.
Between the light blue sky and the clear ocean, dotted with white sandy beaches and green coconut trees, this is known as the most beautiful beach in Oahu.
Nagayama Naoki rented a parasol here and found a nearby surfing training class. Several adult tourists and a group of local boys learned how to surf here.
"Coach White, don't worry, I can swim and have a diving certificate." Naoki Nagayama said to the surfing coach who understood the progress,
"Very good, then William, you can take the theory course."
Most of the people who come here to learn can swim, so everyone is listening to boring theoretical knowledge, how to carry a surfboard, how to enter the wave zone, push the board over the waves, bodyboarding, take-offs, types of stances and
Standing on a surfboard and more.
Of course, theoretical study is boring and boring. The instructor also follows the instructions and doesn’t pay much attention to the people underground. After a while, several tourists started chatting.
There are quite a few Japanese people who came to Hawaii. I also met a guy named Takao Ozaki on the surfboard. He was also in his 20s. He looked like a rich second generation and was a talker. However, he obviously did not recognize Naoki Nagayama.
.
"Nagayama-san, is this your first time in Honolulu?"
"Ah, yes, is this your first time here, Ozaki-san, too?"
This is not the first time Takao Ozaki has come, but he has come and gone in a hurry the past few times and has never made the effort to learn to surf.
"Although this is not the first time I have come here, every time I want to learn to surf, I am always delayed due to various things." Ozaki Takao laughed at himself, "Speaking of it, I am actually afraid of the sea~"
"Eh? Afraid of water? A phobia of the deep sea?" Then you can also swim?
"No, how should I put it? I always feel that people are so small in the sea and cannot think of conquering the sea." Ozaki Takao said a little vaguely, "Human beings want to fly like birds and fish.
Swimming goes against my own nature, and I always feel like I have lost my respect for nature."
This is just an ordinary question, why is it so philosophical?
"Haha, every progress of human beings is actually a conquest of nature. Maybe this is the nature of human beings? Conquer nature? Hahaha~" Nagayama Naoki also talked nonsense, talking about talk escape, Nagayama Naoki is not afraid
anyone!
"That's right. The power of nature needs to be respected. Only after passing the test of nature can man be reborn!" Ozaki Takao murmured.
After hearing this kind of remarks, I thought about this guy's last name...Ozaki Hachijo? Is it fake? This kind of challenge should be made up by the movie, right? Or is it created by extreme enthusiasts?
However, it looks interesting...
"Ozaki-san, have you ever heard of a theory about eight extreme challenges..."
"The fourth challenge is life of water, surfing in huge waves and feeling the vitality and vitality given by the sea..."
"Finally, the ultimate faith..."
Naoki Nagayama began to talk to this guy about the "Eight Ozaki" theories that later generations had heard about. Because the two of them were chatting so animatedly, some sentences were said in English, which actually attracted the attention of several people around him.
Then Nagayama Naoki began to introduce in pure English. Anyway, Ozaki Takao, a second-generation rich man, is also very good at English, otherwise he would not travel to Hawaii alone.
When Nagayama Naoki came to his senses, the entire training class was listening to his story. After all, extreme sports had not become popular in 1982. The theory he was talking about was actually similar to a religious story.
However, extreme cross-country, peak parachuting, wingsuit flying, downhill skiing and extreme diving sound dangerous and exciting. Just describing them can make people's adrenaline rise, and then combine them with the power of awe of nature.
Together, the concept of nirvana and sublimation was finally proposed.
If he had not had the idea of trying extreme sports, Naoki Nagayama even felt that he could even create a small religious sect, and then become the leader himself, and call it the "Physical Ascension Sect" or "Natural Sublimation Sect" or something...
..
"William, are you telling the truth?"
I don’t know when, Coach White also came to the side, listening very carefully, his eyes shining,
Why does it feel like something is wrong?
Does this guy White really believe it?
In this era, the era of Internet information explosion has not yet come. People's ideas are still very restricted, especially the people at the bottom of the United States. There are actually many superstitious people. Coach White may really believe it.
"Ah, this is just a theory I've heard. I actually don't know if it's true or not..." I'm telling you, I just heard it, so don't blame me if it's wrong!
Coach White specializes in teaching surfing, so he naturally knows the surfing spots very well: “Are those huge waves in the Sea of Cortez? Are they very high? I’ve never heard of them!”
"I heard there were waves more than 20 meters high," Naoki Nagayama recalled.
"This is really...a life of water, you must go and see it!" Coach White seemed to have made up his mind.
Ozaki Takao quietly poked Nagayama Naoki's arm and whispered in Japanese: "Nagayama-san, you lied to him, right?"
"No, this is just what I heard."
People are discussing endlessly about these eight extreme challenges, which challenge is the easiest, what will happen after the challenge is successful, etc.
Finally, I heard a very interesting thing. Everyone was very interested and everyone put forward their own opinions.
In the end, Coach White did not forget his responsibilities.
"Okay, okay, everyone can bring their skateboards and try it in the shallow water area."
