Tokyo bubble life

Chapter 183 Chapter 182, I always feel that I have seen that figure somewhere

New York, it's snowing again,

Already in the 1980s, the climate seems to be colder,

Amidst the snowflakes, Naoki Naoyama continued to wander around the major attractions in New York, and even went to Chinatown several times. With his proficient Mandarin and Wenzhou dialect, he perfectly pretended to be a Wenzhou native who came to New York.

It's a pity that at this time in New York, there are more people from Guangdong and Fujian, and I haven't encountered any fellow villagers.

I have seen everything that needs to be seen, and Naoki Naoyama can't think of anything else in New York that can attract him to stay, and it's still so cold.

After lingering on the warm bed in the hotel for a long time, he decided to take the opportunity to go abroad and visit other cities in the United States. The first choice was naturally Washington, which is not far from New York.

After mailing all the purchased gifts and souvenirs back to Yamazakura-in in Japan, Naoki Nagayama returned the room at the Central Plaza Hotel, and then took the train to the capital of the United States.

The President of the United States in 1982 was Ronald Reagan. He was assassinated six times in a row in less than three months after he was elected president last year.

President Reagan survived fortunately. Although a year has passed, he is an old man in his 70s after all, and he has undergone open surgery, so he still spends most of his time handling government affairs in the White House.

The special agents of the White House surrounded the White House so tightly that Naoki Yongshan could only take a few photos from a distance.

But next to it is the National Gallery of Art, the Capitol and Lincoln Park that are connected in a line. The scenery of Capitol Hill is really good, the Capitol is solemn and solemn, and the statue of Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington is also very majestic.

The National Gallery of Art of the United States owns the only Leonardo da Vinci's work "Ginevra de Ben's Idol" in the United States, as well as masterpieces of European classical art masters during the Renaissance.

After some swimming, Naoki Naoyama felt that his artistic level must have improved by more than one level.

It took two days to wander around Washington DC and experience the essence of American culture in this era. Naoki Naoyama couldn't find a reason to stay.

At this time, the Japanese movie has been premiered for many days, so after choosing to go back, the promotion activities have most likely been completed, hahaha, it can be regarded as hiding~

The west coast of the United States is affected by the sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean and the cold current from California, so the summer is not too hot and the winter is not too cold.

As a representative city on the west coast of the United States, Los Angeles has a mild climate throughout the year, with an average maximum temperature of 23.3°C and an average minimum temperature of 13°C. It is not an exaggeration to say that the four seasons are like spring.

However, Naoki Naoyama did not come here specially because he wanted to come to Los Angeles, but the flight from Washington to Tokyo needed to transfer, so he stopped at the airport in Los Angeles.

The feeling of entering early summer from winter is very strange. Naoki Naoyama had to take off the windbreaker and cotton coat, leaving only a shirt,

The next flight will take at least 6 hours. It would be too boring to stay at the airport during this time, and there is no glory of the king to kill time

Looking at the bright sunshine outside, Naoki Naoyama's heart was about to move,

Since we stopped in Los Angeles, of course we can't miss the scenery of the city,

At least the famous Santa Monica beach and Disneyland in Los Angeles must be visited,

Wait, it seems that I need to buy a swimsuit, because it is winter in New York, so I bring winter clothes.

Wearing a bright yellow sweater, Nakamori Akina followed a group of staff out of the Los Angeles airport.

Yuzo Shimada, the record producer of the Akina Publicity Section, asked Nakamori Akina: "Akina-chan, is this your first time flying a plane? How do you feel now?"

"Hi, it's totally fine."

Even a strong man like Yuzo Shimada couldn’t bear it after more than ten hours of flying, but this teenage girl said that there was no problem. During the previous training and promotion discussions, Yuzo Shimada had already learned about Akina Nakamori. Stubborn personality, but the more I get to know him, the more I can discover the strength of this young idol's character.

"Xiong San-san, didn't you plan to come over to record in mid-March? Why so many days earlier?"

In fact, when Tomioka Nobuo notified her, he didn't say the reason, but said: "Akina-chan, the training course is over, so let's record the record first."

Then I asked my agent to buy a plane ticket to Los Angeles. Akina Nakamori didn't even have time to say goodbye to her parents, so she could only inform her on the phone.

Shimada Yuzo thought silently in his heart, isn't it because he is afraid that you will have an affair with a handsome guy, otherwise Minister Terabayashi would not have agreed to the whole team to go abroad so easily.

"What Nobuo-san means is to take good photos before debut, which can be used in future records. These will be important materials for publicity and memories in the future."

Yuzo Shimada complained silently in his heart, there is no need to go directly to the United States to shoot the video materials before his debut, this reason is perfunctory enough.

"Akina-san can also have fun in Los Angeles ~ I will be very busy after my official debut."

At this time, Akina didn't know much about the process of idol promotion, and thought this was the real reason.

"Hi, I see~"

There were cameras shooting along the way, which embarrassed Akina Nakamori, who was not used to living in the spotlight, because many foreigners in Los Angeles looked over curiously.

"Yusan-san, are we going directly to the recording studio now?"

"Hahaha, isn't Akina-san really tired? Warner Records is on North Hollywood Avenue. Let's go to the hotel next door to get some rest first. We can take a walk around in the afternoon and go to the recording studio tomorrow."

If it was the previous daily schedule, it would be quite a rush to record ten songs.

But now that we have come here ahead of schedule, there will be a lot of leeway in the arrangement of the construction period.

Other employees in the working group can also take a good look around Los Angeles~

The Millennium Hotel in the center of Los Angeles is an "antique" hotel with a history of more than 50 years. It was included in the World Historic Heritage List more than 20 years ago. It is said that it has received many presidential celebrities.

Naoki Yongshan booked the room directly with the airport phone, then called a taxi and drove straight from the airport to the heart of Los Angeles.

The resplendent Millennium Hotel literally means that resplendent is not covered with a layer of rich gold like a nouveau riche, but a retro aristocratic temperament accumulated over decades of history. The interior design of the hotel is complicated and gorgeous, like a stepping stone Into the noble court of ancient Rome.

"It's not a bad trip~"

After checking in, Naoki Yongshan happily toured the hotel and took many photos with the camera. Many scenes here were chosen by great directors to be used in movies, and it really feels like a check-in when seeing it in reality.

The Millennium Hotel is located in the city center, with convenient transportation, not far from the major attractions in the city, but the most famous attraction in Los Angeles is of course Hollywood.

Naoki Naoyama took the special bus directly to Hollywood Park and arrived at the Griffith Observatory at noon. This building is far away from the Hollywood Hills, and you can clearly see the white word Hollywood on the opposite hill.

After going down the mountain from here, you can go directly along the Hollywood Boulevard, passing the Avenue of Stars, then to Hollywood Lake Park, and then to Universal Studios Hollywood.

See all over Hollywood in one afternoon~

Arriving at the famous Avenue of Stars, Naoki Naoyama lowered his head, trying to find the star emblem he was familiar with on the ground. Unfortunately, in this era, almost none of the stars he knew before became famous, and there were relatively few foreign stars he knew while growing up in Japan. , so basically no.

Wait, Marilyn Monroe, are her handprints here too?

Naoki Yongshan hurriedly took a photo as a souvenir. When he bent down, he felt a bright yellow figure flashing by from the corner of his eye.

But when I looked up again, it was already gone.

Naoki Yongshan scratched his head, always feeling that it seemed to be a familiar figure, but he couldn't find it after walking around, so he shrugged and continued walking down.

On Hollywood Boulevard, people with various long or short lenses can often be seen shooting,

"Yusan-san, are there any Japanese stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?"

"Of course, there is Hayakawa Snow Island."

"Where is where?"

"Eh, this is not very clear, I can only find them one by one~"

There are 3 film crews next to Nakamori Akina, one is the main shooter, and the other two are in rotation. At the same time, they also pay attention to the safety on the road.

Although this journey is for fun, for the few of them, shooting is always going on.

Mingcai walks briskly on the Avenue of Stars, bending over to check when she sees a signature,

Along the way, I saw a lot of people who were looking for their names like myself, and I saw someone taking out a camera to take pictures from a distance. Hey, they were actually Asians.

"Akina-san, here!" Yuzo Shimada beckoned, and he found Xinghui from Hayakawa Snow Island.

"Hi~" Xiao Mingcai trotted over and looked at it with great interest, "Yongsan-san, are there a lot of Asians coming to Hollywood? I seem to have seen it just now."

"Should be a lot, this is a tourist attraction." Shimada Yuzo thought for a while, "However, there are not many Asians visiting Los Angeles at this time, maybe they are from Japan, and there is a high probability that they should be local Asians."

"Search~ I feel that the figure is a bit familiar~"

Xiao Mingcai didn't think much about it. After admiring the stars, she followed the road to the next location, Hollywood Lake Park.

The Hollywood Lake Park in 1982 was basically in a relatively primitive state, but it is one of the best places to see Hollywood's iconic white signboards.

After finally reaching the mountain, Shimada Yuzo took a big breath of fresh air by the lake, then pointed to the distance and said:

"Ming Caijiang, the recording studio we are going to tomorrow is on North Hollywood Boulevard, just behind Universal Studios Hollywood."

After hearing this, Akina Nakamori also looked towards Universal Studios Hollywood in the distance, only to find a figure in a white shirt on the way to Hollywood Studios.

"Yungsan-san, look at that person in the white shirt, he is an Asian on the Avenue of Stars." Akina pointed to the small figure and said, "I feel like I've seen that figure somewhere before."

Shimada Yuzo also followed his gaze and made a telescope shape with his hands.

But with so many people in Universal Studios, he couldn't tell which one it was at once: "Ming Caijiang, can you see clearly from this distance? I didn't tell the difference~"

"I can't see clearly, but the figure looks familiar." Xiao Mingcai took another look, and the person had already entered.

"It just so happens that our next stop is there, let's take a look then~"

"Hi~"

I have already taken photos of Hollywood signs at the observatory, Naoki Naoyama did not want to look at ordinary natural landscapes anymore,

So instead of going to Lake Hollywood and the nearby Runyon Canyon Park, I went directly to Universal Studios all the way.

In fact, Universal Studios Hollywood at this time feels a bit lax,

No Transformers, no Harry Potter, no Marvel. Even the ET aliens have not come out at this time,

However, King Kong has already come out at this time, so there are gorilla dolls, props, scenes, posters from other old movies, and Chaplin's dress in the modern era also appeared~

There are also some gothic-style castles and various characteristic shops in the film city, and of course there are places like haunted houses, which are similar to amusement parks.

Naoki Naoyama paced slowly in Universal Studios, shuttled among various attractions, and experienced the characteristics of early movies.

Universal Studios, as a masterpiece of movie art, of course has a movie theater. The recent movies are all shown in theaters. Naoki Nagayama looked closely at the film schedule, and there is actually "Ghost Story"!

Has this movie actually made it to America?

Hurry up and take a picture of this film schedule, which is to be kept as a souvenir.

Naoki Naoyama didn't see other movies that attracted him, so he didn't think about buying tickets to watch them.

In the snack bar next to the movie theater, the smell of popcorn wafted over and over again. After walking for so long, the food I ate at noon had already been consumed, and the smell of burnt aroma aroused the gluttons in my stomach.

"Please bring me some popcorn~"

He took the popcorn cup and change from the shopkeeper, took one and stuffed it into his mouth, the sweet and greasy taste spread on the tip of his tongue,

Seeing the shopkeeper's eyes looking back, Naoki Naoyama also turned around curiously,

Several people surrounded a little girl in a bright yellow sweater and was marching in the theater. One was shooting with a video camera, and the other was also shooting with a camera.

The other two guide the camera line a little further away, like a movie star.

"Ming Cai-san?" Naoki Yongshan was shocked!

Akina Nakamori walked to Universal Studios and saw all kinds of movie props and scenes inside.

Like a child, I looked here, looked there, and touched it curiously, so that the little brother who took the photo almost couldn't catch up.

Even the actor who played the King Kong doll was harassed and had a hair stuck to the doll costume pulled out after taking a group photo.

There is a movie theater and a doll shop in front of it. Akina Nakamori actually wanted to go to the doll shop, but suddenly saw a handsome guy in a white shirt standing in front of the popcorn shop.

"Naoki-san!"

After Nakamori Akina greeted him, Naoki Naoyama also laughed, waved at Akina Nakamori, and then walked over there.

With an exclamation, Akina Nakamori confirmed the identity of the other party, and asked the photographer next to him to turn the camera to Naoki Nagayama.

At the entrance of the cinema, a handsome young man in white and black trousers is waving to the camera and walking towards the camera with a warm smile.

The gentle sunlight of the setting sun shone on his body, staining his white shirt with some gold, like a character who came out of a story~
