Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

In the screening room of Universal Pictures, Lin Daoqiu, Brigitte Lin, Langmeyer, and the new publicity manager Corro were sitting inside.

The purpose of their gathering here today is to watch the final cut of "Tomb Raider".

It can be said that Lin Daoqiu participated in the whole process of this drama from beginning to end, and his opinions were mainly used in the final editing.

Not to mention today's Hollywood, even in the future, many directors will not be able to obtain editing rights after filming.

The story of Lin Daoqiu's "Tomb Raider" starts from the childhood of Lin, the heroine of the film.

Lin, the little girl who was the only one to survive the plane crash, was rescued by a group of mysterious people, and then she was taken to live abroad.

Because her adoptive father is a very wealthy boss, she has lived a life of abundant food and clothing since she was a child.

Lin has been interested in martial arts and firearms since she was a child, so she practiced martial arts since she was a child and became a master when she grew up.

Later, due to the sudden disappearance of his adoptive father, when Lin went to his adoptive father's study to look for clues, he suddenly discovered that one of the records was related to himself.

The reason why the plane he was on crashed seemed like a well-arranged plan.

In order to find out the truth, Lin took several of his companions and embarked on a journey to find his adoptive father and solve the mystery of his life experience.

When Lin Daoqiu wrote "Tomb Raider", he did not make the plot very complicated, and it did not seem to be brain-burning.

The most exciting part is naturally the action scenes of this drama. After all, Lin Daoqiu was famous for his action scenes when he first started in Hollywood.

All the action in "Tomb Raider" was designed by Yuan Heping and Yuan Jiaban.

After working with Lin Daoqiu for a long time, Yuan Heping became more and more accustomed to Lin Daoqiu's style, which is simple and efficient, with gorgeous fighting and absolutely no sloppy movements.

And with the evolution of action movies, the shooting of gun battles must also be improved.

If you just fight back and forth, the audience will inevitably suffer from visual fatigue after watching it for a long time, so it is necessary to add gorgeous gun battles.

The most exciting part of "Tomb Raider" is the underground palace where the final battle takes place. In order to create this underground palace, Dykstra can be said to have racked his brains.

Thanks to the efforts of Shaw Brothers' set-builders and the Dykstra team, a lifelike underground palace appeared in the movie scene.

Because part of the plot of "Tomb Raider" was filmed in Chiang Mai, Thailand, this underground palace can easily be mistaken for Lin Daoqiu and the others to film in the underground royal tombs in Thailand.

"Mr. Lin, does this underground palace really exist?"

Corro seemed very curious about this, because he couldn't tell at all that this place was actually built by Lin Daoqiu and the others.

"Mr. Corro, do you think I would be bold enough to go to the royal underground palace in Thailand to take pictures of these things?"

Lin Daoqiu smiled and shook his head. He thought this guy named Corro was too cute.

But what Lin Daoqiu didn't expect was that Corro's eyes widened immediately after hearing his answer.

"Mr. Lin, you didn't really go to the underground palace of the Thai Royal Mausoleum to take pictures, did you? You are too courageous."

Hearing what Corro said, Lin Daoqiu was speechless.

It was Brigitte Lin next to me who helped answer the question.

"Mr. Corro, actually this scene was filmed in Xiangjiang, and this underground palace was created by Magic Studio and some set designers."

After listening to Lin Qingxia's explanation, Corro suddenly realized.

If the other party hadn't said this, Corro might have really thought that this underground palace existed because it was so real.

At this time, the heroine on the screen is standing on a huge sarcophagus and fighting against those monsters.

Corro watched intently, and Langmeyer next to him also watched with relish.

Although there are not many special effects scenes in this movie, it is only compared to "Godzilla".

Compared with current Hollywood movies, "Tomb Raider" is definitely an action movie with a qualitative leap.

Especially in the movie, when Lara opens the special arms box, it contains a variety of weapons, from pistols to RPG rocket launchers.

And the coolest scene is the heroine carrying an RPG rocket launcher, killing the opponent's enemies with one shot, which makes people's blood boil.

When "Tomb Raider" finished playing, both Magic Studios and Corro couldn't help but start applauding.

This drama is far more exciting than the action movies they have seen before.

And compared with Brigitte Lin's previous film "Mission Impossible", "Tomb Raider" can be said to have been qualitatively improved.

"I think we can use the image of the heroine carrying the RPG in the promotion next week. I believe it will attract more viewers to watch it."

When Brigitte Lin was filming "The Mummy", there were no action scenes of her in it, so this time "Tomb Raider" can be said to have satisfied many viewers' desire to see Brigitte Lin in action.

After all, "Mission: Impossible" did very well at the box office in Hollywood, and many viewers got to know Brigitte Lin through this drama.

As the saying goes, it takes three years to sharpen a sword. This "Tomb Raider" will definitely make Brigitte Lin's popularity in Hollywood even higher.

Moreover, Brigitte Lin also played a cameo role in "Godzilla". Although the role was not too much, Lin Daoqiu just wanted to let her show her face.

After all, the protagonist of the movie "Godzilla" is Godzilla, and Lin Daoqiu does not want others to steal his limelight, although at this time, it is impossible for any star to steal Godzilla's limelight.

As the new publicity manager of Universal Pictures, Corro has actually been in the job for less than a year.

But I have to say that his luck is extremely good. He has encountered two blockbusters, "Tomb Raider" and "Godzilla", within just one year of taking office.

As long as Corro doesn't make any mistakes and does the publicity he needs to do well, he will have done a great job.

When the advertisements for "Tomb Raider" began to air in major cities in North America, everyone knew that Brigitte Lin's new film was about to be released.

When the trailer carefully prepared by Corro was aired on TV, it immediately aroused a huge response.

The attention of the movie "Tomb Raider" reached its peak in the second week of promotion.

After this week's promotion, "Tomb Raider" will be officially released in Hollywood.

"Tomb Raider" and Brigitte Lin also appeared on the covers of many newspapers and magazines, and some newspapers even used the title "Kung Fu Superstar" on Brigitte Lin's head.
