Is this genuine indifference, or just a facade of composure?
As bystanders, both the production crew and the store employees felt that this situation was quite awkward.
The surf instructor and the employee who rented surf equipment to Li Ye spoke to him a little too enthusiastically in an attempt to ease the awkwardness, which made the atmosphere even more awkward.
Li Ye wasn't bothered at all; he wouldn't let a stranger affect his mood, and the boss's reaction was perfectly reasonable.
But they made them all feel a little uncomfortable.
This situation is similar to someone who has been wronged, even if it's not a big deal, but can't handle other people's comfort.
Li Ye chose to ignore these distractions, changed into his surfing suit, and enthusiastically walked with his instructor to the teaching area on the beach.
"Aren't you angry about this?"
Even for a distance of less than 100 meters, Wang Fu would always find a way to harass Li Ye, and he no longer cared about being on camera or being recorded.
"Reduce unnecessary communication." Li Ye merely glanced at him.
"I..." Wang Fu wanted to curse. This was the first time he had felt such complicated feelings towards an artist.
It's almost June, the height of summer, and Guangdong province is already extremely hot.
The heat was intense, and even the sand was scalding hot.
Fortunately, it was windy today, and the beach where we practiced had rows of large coconut trees and parasols, so it wasn't too stuffy.
There weren't many people on the beach at the time, but some passersby saw a film crew shooting and came over to watch.
But most passersby, like the shop owner, would leave on their own after seeing Li Ye's unfamiliar face for a short time.
"Let me start by telling you about the preparations before going into the water."
The instructor got straight to the point, "Remember to wax your surfboard to increase friction. Hold the board in a straight line with your body. If you hold it sideways, you'll easily get injured by the surfboard when a wave hits..."
These are all very basic things, which Li Ye memorized while watching the video. But they are also very important to avoid any oversights in the details. He did not interrupt and listened very attentively.
The coach taught diligently and meticulously, not entirely because there were cameras filming, but because Li Ye was such a good student that he unconsciously felt at ease.
Many trainees are like people who want to fly before they can even walk; they lack patience.
Soon the coach got to the specific movements, and Li Ye immediately followed the coach's demonstration, lying on the board, head up, chest out, fingers together, and making the paddling motion.
"Not bad, not bad, your movements are very standard."
The coach kept changing positions to observe Li Ye, but couldn't find anything wrong with his posture on the board. "You've practiced before, haven't you?"
"You're so fair-skinned, you don't look like someone who's ever surfed."
Before Li Ye could speak, the coach shook his head again.
Li Ye just changed into quick-drying clothes right in front of him. His skin was so smooth and tender; he truly deserves to be called a young heartthrob.
Of course, this doesn't show any talent; he just thought Li Ye had a good memory, able to remember the movements so accurately just by watching instructional videos.
Next came the starting motion, which is crucial and difficult for beginners. Li Ye's performance surprised the coach a little.
Just like his previous paddling on the board, Li Ye's start was quick, his core was stable, and his position on the board was very accurate.
"Have you been watching instructional videos for a long time?" The instructor couldn't see any signs of having learned surfing on Li Ye, and could only assume that he had been teaching himself at home for a long time.
Upon hearing this, Wang Fu looked at Li Ye suspiciously... Could this be another pre-planned scheme to showcase his athletic talent?
The coach didn't have the same malice as Wang Fu; he was just happy to have such a reliable student as Li Ye. He immediately clapped his hands and said, "You've done the basic movements very well, but to truly learn to surf, you still need to practice. Alright, let's get in the water."
Li Ye was already eager to try, holding the longboard high with both hands and following behind the coach.
The coach led Li Ye to waist-deep water and stopped. "Let's stop here. The waves are quite big, which is a bit difficult for beginners and requires some courage, but I believe you can do it."
"Come on, start your performance!" The coach walked a little further away.
"Watch me."
Li Ye smiled and said something, then carefully observed the pattern of the waves.
Soon, the wave he had been waiting for arrived.
Li Ye turned the board around, lay down and began to slowly paddle, while looking back at the waves. When the waves were less than two meters away, he suddenly accelerated his paddling motion.
"Yes, yes, that's it! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid at all!" the coach shouted from the side.
Drones hovered over the sea, closely following the slightly thin figure.
The tail of the board was lifted up by the waves, and Li Ye paddled a couple more times, then quickly stood up, his arms slightly outstretched, maintaining balance and core stability.
Hold on tight!
Li Ye felt the force of the waves pushing against his feet on the surfboard, carefully maintaining his balance as he floated down the waves. The spray from both sides hit his face, and a feeling of satisfaction welled up inside him.
He fell steadily into the sea only after the force of the wave subsided.
"Holy crap, that's awesome!"
The coach, lying prone on the surfboard, paddled up to Li Ye and exclaimed excitedly, "You're really good!"
Although "standing up" is the most difficult thing for beginners, even if you master it, it is only the beginning of surfing. However, Li Ye succeeded in his first real surfing attempt. He read and caught the waves by himself the whole time, which is the most talented he has ever seen.
Another very important point is that beginners usually practice riding the waves by playing in white waves less than 0.6 meters high on the shore. Only after they have truly mastered riding the waves should they try waves that are 1 meter high.
The wave just now was at least 1.2 meters high. Being able to withstand such a wave not only shows that Li Ye has a solid foundation, but also has excellent mental fortitude.
The coach chose this surfing spot for Li Ye, partly because Li Ye was very good at it, but he didn't have high expectations, which is why he was so excited.
"You are really talented. I dare not say anything else, but you will definitely become the number one surfer in the entertainment industry in the future, and you may even have the opportunity to challenge tube surf."
"That's an exaggeration. I'm not very skilled yet, and I almost fell just now."
The coach praised him highly, and Li Ye was also very happy, but he was aware of his own limitations.
The teaching effect in his dream was ridiculously good. He didn't know how long he studied in his dream, nor did he feel much, but his body had indeed formed the corresponding memories.
If Li Ye's initial desire to learn surfing was merely to gain a new life experience, then the moment he took off from the surfboard and rode the waves, he completely and wholeheartedly fell in love with the sport.
Li Ye paddled tirelessly, rising and falling again and again. Slowly, he began to try turning along the wave wall, moving back and forth on the wave board unintentionally to maintain speed.
Of course, he didn't succeed every time he took off; after he started trying to walk on the board, he fell into the water more and more often.
"Is this a good or bad surf?" Wang Fu asked the surfing cameraman under the parasol on the shore.
In the footage from the drone, Li Ye was initially swimming fine, but for some reason, he started falling into the water more and more often, which puzzled Wang Fu.
"You've gotten the hang of it."
The cameraman noticed that Wang Fu seemed somewhat nonchalant, so he quickly added, "It took me about two weeks to reach this level, about two hours a day. My coach even praised me for my talent."
"Does that mean Li Ye is very talented at surfing?"
"He is very talented and has a great mentality. Many people wouldn't dare to take such high risks at first."
Wang Fu seemed to be thinking about something, then hesitated for a moment and said, "Then take the equipment and shoot some footage for him."
This filming equipment is quite expensive. He didn't originally want to give it to Li Ye, so he's just offering it as a small compensation.
