Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Chiang Mai is located in the tropics. The weather in August is extremely hot, with temperatures often reaching over 30 degrees Celsius. It is really difficult to shoot outdoors at this time.

The Xiangjiang crew, who came a week early, have slowly begun to adapt to the climate here.

As the heroine, Brigitte Lin is the hardest working among all the actors in the crew.

There are a lot of action scenes every day, and the physical exhaustion is very severe. Moreover, it is still in such a high temperature. If you are not careful, you will suffer from heat stroke.

Therefore, when Lin Daoqiu chooses shooting locations, he will try his best to choose places that are a little cooler.

Tom Cruise doesn't have many scenes, and most of the time he is in a resting state.

Anthony Hopkins is the main villain of the film and Brigitte Lin's adoptive father in the film. His role is slightly more than that of Tom Cruise.

When he wasn't filming, Tom Cruise didn't take any time off. Instead, he started practicing kung fu with the Yuan family class.

Maybe it’s because I’m too busy, or maybe I’m envious of Brigitte Lin’s skills.

From this moment on, Tom Cruise, who had no martial arts skills, slowly developed into an action actor, although he himself never imagined that this would be the case.

On this day, I was filming a scene of chasing an enemy in the jungle. Lin Qingxia was wearing a tight-fitting suit and moving freely through the jungle. Her movements were smooth and fluid, which was dazzling to watch.

Next to him, Tom Cruise looked at Brigitte Lin with envy. He thought it was incredible that the other party could have such skills.

"What's wrong? It seems like you are envious of our heroine?"

While Anthony Hopkins was waiting nearby, he noticed that Tom Cruise would always look at Brigitte Lin with envy from time to time.

"Mr. Anthony, don't you think Miss Lin is really cool? I have watched "Mission: Impossible" before, and at first I thought those fight scenes were all stand-ins, but now I realize that they are all real.

"

Tom Cruise shook his head as he spoke. Looking at the admiring expression on his face, you knew that this guy was really interested in action scenes.

Lin Daoqiu, who was next to him, also heard the conversation between the two of them. Tom Cruise will be one of the most famous action actors in Hollywood in the future.

Unexpectedly, when he traveled through time, he became interested in action scenes in advance.

Moreover, Lin Daoqiu heard from people in the Yuan family class that Tom Cruise is still very energetic in practicing martial arts. Even though this guy seems to have a gentle appearance, he can still endure hardships when practicing martial arts.

If it weren't for him being too old, Yuan Heping would have wanted to train him well and let him enter the Yuan Family Class to be polished.

However, for Lin Daoqiu, Tom Cruise does not need to be as good at fighting as the martial arts and celebrities in Hong Kong. It is difficult to do those difficult moves without practicing for five or six years.

Tom Cruise's innate conditions are already good. After all, he is handsome enough. After starring in "Top Gun" in three years, he will become one of the most popular young actors in Hollywood.

Although action scenes are very important, Lin Daoqiu's requirements for Tom Cruise will not be as high as those of Hong Kong's action stars.

As long as he can reach Lin Qingxia's current skills, Lin Daoqiu will be very satisfied.

I believe that as long as Tom Cruise insists on practicing for a year or two, it will definitely help him a lot.

"I just heard you talking about the heroine. Do you mind letting me participate in this topic?"

At this time, Lin Daoqiu walked up to Anthony Hopkins and Tom Cruise and asked with a smile.

Tom Cruise still respected Lin Daoqiu very much. When he saw him approaching, Tom Cruise immediately stood up from his chair.

"Mr. Lin, our Cruise thinks Miss Lin's action scenes are very cool. He seems to be very interested in action scenes."

Anthony Hopkins is almost 46 years old at this time, and he probably doesn't think much about things like action scenes.

Lin Daoqiu never thought about asking Anthony to shoot action scenes. He was interested in his acting skills. As long as he is there, he can add some depth to the movie.

"I heard from martial arts practitioners that you have been actively practicing martial arts with them during this period. Is this true?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Tom Cruise and asked with a smile.

Tom Cruise didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu would take the initiative to care about his affairs, which made him both nervous and happy.

Nodding, Tom Cruise quickly answered.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, I think action scenes are really cool. If I can learn the same skills as Miss Lin, I will definitely be more comfortable in action scenes in the future."

Obviously this is his first action movie, but what people didn't expect is that Tom Cruise has already started planning his future, and he has also included action movies in his plans.

"Do you like action movies?"

Lin Daoqiu pretended to look at Tom Cruise with a puzzled face, as if he was very confused that he would have such an idea.

"I have been a loyal action movie fan before. To be honest with Mr. Lin, I have always thought that one day I can become the leading actor in an action movie."

Having said this, Tom Cruise looked a little embarrassed. After all, he is only 21 years old, so it is normal for him to be embarrassed.

Lin Daoqiu nodded while listening. For him, it might be a good thing for him if he could help Tom Cruise determine his status as an action star earlier.

"You will stay here in Chiang Mai for another two months. If you really like action scenes, I can let Yuan Jiaban train you well during this period."

When Tom Cruise heard what Lin Daoqiu said, he couldn't hide his excited expression. His eyes immediately opened wide and his face was full of shock.

On the other hand, Anthony Hopkins kept smiling next to him. He had more or less noticed Lin Daoqiu's intention of doing this, but he did not say it out loud.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. I will definitely study hard during this period and will never let down your kindness."

Tom Cruise nodded vigorously. He was so excited that he couldn't sit still at all, and ran to Yuan Jiaban for training again.

After Tom Cruise left, Anthony Hopkins suddenly said.

"The silly boy is really lucky, but I'm curious, does Mr. Lin really intend to train him to become an action star?"

Anthony Hopkins looked at Lin Daoqiu curiously.

"Actually, I don't know what will happen to him in the future, but since he likes action scenes and he is still so young, I will give him a chance. As for whether he can succeed in the end, it all depends on him."

After Lin Daoqiu said this, he even laughed out loud, but Anthony Hopkins on the side did not notice the reason for Lin Daoqiu's smile.
