295 Paparazzi haunted
Sunset Beach, located on the north shore of Oahu, is now the most famous tubular wave gathering place, and every year countless tourists come to visit it, either to make a splash, to try the legendary tubular waves, or to make a special trip to pretend/force - Sunset Beach is the director's equivalent of Stanley Kubrick, a must-have weapon for pretending to be sophisticated.

So, for many of the true masters, they're tired of sunset beaches and walk along the northern coastline all the way west to find three or four secluded beaches and enjoy undisturbed privacy. However, for commercial competitions, it is the best place to play.
Surfing competitions generally start at 8 or 9 a.m. and last until 3 p.m. One is because after the evening, the weather is unpredictable, and the waves tend to become more dangerous and not suitable for surfing, and the other is because you need to reserve time for waiting for the waves, because not every wave is suitable for surfing, and the competitors have to wait, so each competitor can get 30 minutes of waiting time, plus the rest time in between, the competition time is bound to be longer.
When Lan Li and his party arrived at Sunset Beach, it was already early ten, but the parking spaces near the beach were already full, and Andre, who was in charge of acting as the driver today, had to go around the neighborhood for a while, only to find a vacant seat under the palm trees at the far end, and successfully put the car in place, and then the three of them walked slowly towards the direction of the competition venue.
Hawaii's long, narrow Ring Road winds along the coastline and offers the occasional glimpse of cliffs and lonely lighthouses, and gradually the noise of the crowd breaks the silence under the palm trees and even the air becomes agitated.
At this time, at least seven or eight hundred people gathered on the whole beach, the golden brown sand was a little rough but not awkward, and it was somewhat comfortable to step on barefoot, the bustling crowd was talking and laughing, and the beautiful women in bikinis boldly came and went in front of them, enjoying the rare bright sunshine today, and a two-story observatory was erected next to the street, on which sat the commentators and commentators, whose commentators echoed over the beach through loudspeakers, introducing the contestants and the conditions of the waves and the direction of the wind.
"We should come here in the evening. "Occasionally, there will be a party here, with campfires, bikinis, surfboards, whiskey, and if you're lucky, try naked/swimming." ”
Paul looked at André in surprise, "It's not a small wave at night, and if you're not careful, you won't be able to come back." "Paul is a crazy surfer who knows Oahu all too well, and he's never heard of a midnight party at Sunset Beach.
Lan Li was convinced, and said with a smile, "Believe me, if he says yes, it really is." What you're looking at now is a nocturnal animal. ”
In the face of Lan Li's ridicule, Andre smiled and nodded, expressing his gratitude, and calmly accepted such a "compliment", "It is because of the danger that it is more exciting." Those who are willing to participate are true adventurers. Therefore, such a party is fun, unscrupulous, and has no bottom line. ”
Paul was dumbfounded and looked at Lan Li in disbelief, but saw Lan Li nodding with a smile and giving an affirmative answer, which made Paul cast a strange look at Andre: Who is this guy?
Finding a place to sit down on the beach, Paul took off one of the binoculars that hung around his neck, handed it to Lan Li, and looked out to sea. Without the help of binoculars, the surfers would not look much bigger than peanuts, and they could vaguely see their interaction with the waves, but they could not see the specific surfing activity.
At this time, the first round of qualifiers was still being held, and the strength of the players was already very strong, and sure enough, the North Shore was not something that amateurs could easily challenge, and under Paul's explanation, Lan Li had a new understanding of surfing.
"I've heard that you had some minor setbacks not too long ago. Andre removed the binoculars from the competitors who were waiting for the waves, pointed them at the two bikini girls who were chasing them on the beach, and said casually.
Lan Li had just put down the binoculars, and when he heard Andre's words, he was stunned, and thought back to his mind: What setbacks did he encounter?
Andre put down the binoculars, glanced at Lan Li, and then pointed the telescope at his eyes, "Rumor has it that during the audition process for a commercial movie, you competed with a friend, and you used some dishonorable means, but in the end you still lost. ”
Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a playful smile, this rumor is really too interesting, his voice can't help but raise the ground, and even the smile with the corners of his mouth is outlined, "So that's how it happened?"
Andrei shrugged, "I know it's ridiculous. But, what I heard was so, so I wondered if someone had done something bad behind your back. ”
Andre and Lan Li grew up together, Lan Li is a prank who likes to play pranks, and there are endless strange ideas, which makes people unbearable, but Lan Li is a fair and honest person, and he doesn't care about using despicable means at all, even if Lan Li doesn't want to admit it, in his bones, he still has the pride of the nobility.
Lan Li pursed the corners of her lips with a smile, "This is Hollywood, a Hollywood full of lies and betrayals, I won't make a fuss like you." ”
"It's like London. Andre answered, which made Lan Li pause, and there was a little more playfulness in his eyes, and then both of them chuckled, as if they were back in middle school.
Commercial movies, if Lan Li didn't guess wrong, it is estimated to be "Thor". However, this rumor cannot be spread by Chris, it should be spread by Chris's agent and publicist, and it seems that the vaccination has begun now. Does this mean that "Thor" is also finished?
"Where did you hear about these rumors? I thought you weren't interested in Hollywood. Andy didn't tell Lan Li about this rumor, maybe because Andy had already dealt with it himself, or maybe because the news hadn't come out yet, there was no threat, and the reporter wouldn't kill Lan Li by surprise, so Andy wasn't in a hurry.
But whatever the reason, it was really strange that Andrei could hear such news.
Andre tugged at the corners of his mouth, "It's true that I'm not interested, but that doesn't mean they won't send it to the door." ”
While on the surface, André is an idle wanderer, in fact, he is the owner of Dalmore whisky in the Scottish Highlands, one of the best whisky brands in the world, as well as one of the most expensive. Like the best wines, Dalmore whisky is not just for tasting, it's for collecting, especially for those who aspire to join the aristocracy.
As a country lacking historical and cultural heritage, the United States has always admired the royal culture of Britain and France, which is an important reason why the title of nobility conferred by the British queen every year has such a strong appeal. So, as you can imagine, Dalmore whiskey, a top-notch treasure that circulates among the aristocracy, will appeal to Hollywood's top personalities.
Lan Li chuckled, "Dalmore shouldn't need the Hollywood market, right?"
Dalmore is a high-end whisky brand, and they have formed a fixed user base, and they don't need to explore the market at all. This is one of the important reasons why Andre is so relaxed.
"No, you don't. "However, we occasionally have some private parties in Hollywood. You know, it's like a queen bestowing a knighthood, inviting a whole bunch of high-class people who are eager to connect with the nobility to come and spend a boring evening. ”
"It's at least a lot happier than a party in London. Lan Li's complaint made Andre think deeply and nodded again and again.
"If you need help, don't hesitate to ask. Andre said, he could detect Lan Li's meaningful eyes, and couldn't help but add, "I know, you don't necessarily need it, but, you have my mobile phone number." ”
Lan Li could feel Andre's kindness, different from the hypocrisy and grievances between the nobles, although the words just now were simple and a little casual, but the sincerity between the eyes was undoubted. Maybe a lot of things have changed, but there are still some things that haven't changed.
"No, I don't know your mobile number. Lan Li's unconventional answer made Andre turn his head, look at Lan Li with a stunned expression, and after a pause for a few seconds, he didn't hold back after all, and laughed out loud.
This is, of course, a joke.
The two lost contact for several years and did not speak on the phone at all. Generally speaking, aristocrats rarely change their mobile phone numbers, because almost every one of them also has two phone numbers, one for daily social use and the other for private friends, and there is no need to change mobile phone numbers at all.
Lan Li's ridicule is just saying that the two have not been in touch for too long, and the other party has changed their mobile phone number, which is also possible.
"Then you should contact my butler. André replied in all seriousness that the politeness and politeness of London social occasions was ridiculously joyful in front of the beach, the sea, and the bikini.
Lan Li was about to speak when he caught a strange figure in the crowd, sitting about fifteen paces in front of him, wearing a Hawaiian shirt, beach pants, flip-flops, a large straw hat, and a cannon camera around his neck.
This is not uncommon on the beach, as many professional videographers are filming the surfing competition, and many amateur photographers are also well-equipped. The scene of long guns and short cannons, even compared to the premiere, is not inferior.
But the man had already turned around twice and pointed the camera at him — or was it his delusion?
