Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 937 Young Tom Cruise
"Hello, who is it? Yes, it's me..."

After Tom picked up the phone, he spoke in his usual tone.

Wagner, on the other hand, was sitting on the sofa, picking up a magazine and reading it.

Neither Tom nor Wagner had much thought about the call.

But the strange thing is that after reading the magazine for a while, Wagner found that Tom hadn't spoken all the time, which made him feel very strange.

So Wagner turned his gaze from the magazine to Tom.

It's okay for Wagner not to look at it, he surprised himself when he saw it.

Because Wagner found Tom standing there like this, holding the phone motionless, looking very strange.

"Tom, what's the matter? Is something wrong?"

Wagner quickly put down the magazine. He thought something happened to Tom, so he stood up quickly.

After Wagner finished asking, Tom still stood there motionless, still maintaining the previous posture of holding the phone.

Wagner got up quickly, and then quickly walked towards Tom. He was sure that something had happened, otherwise Tom would never be so abnormal.

When Wagner just walked to Tom's side, and then pushed him with his hand, the other party seemed to wake up suddenly.

Just as Wagner was trying to figure out what was going on, Tom suddenly hugged him and started yelling.

"Wagner, I succeeded, I really succeeded..."

Wagner hasn't figured out what happened, but he can tell from Tom's appearance that he must have met some great event, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited.

Hurry up and let Tom calm down first, otherwise they won't be able to talk at all.

"Tom, please calm down. What happened? You made it? What did you do?"

Wagner looked at the other party with a puzzled expression. He just wanted to know what happened to Tom.

After being asked by Wagner, Tom calmed down a little, and then he replied.

"The people from Universal Films called just now, saying that I have entered the re-examination of "Tomb Raider" and asked me to audition tomorrow, oh..."

When Tom had finished speaking, he started jumping up and down the room and couldn't stop.

As his agent, Wagner seemed calmer, but it was indeed a happy event for Tom to enter the retest.

Although there is still a long way to go before successfully winning this role, it is indeed something to be happy about.

After shouting for a while, Tom calmed down. He just wanted to know what to do tomorrow to win this role.

Now the only person around him who can give him advice is Wagner, so Tom hopes that the other party can give him some advice.

"I'm sorry Tom, I don't know what opinion I should give you. "Tomb Raider" is Lin Daoqiu's original movie, and now I only know it's an action movie..."

If Lin Daoqiu made a movie that has appeared before, there are still traces to follow.

But "Tomb Raider" let alone Wagner, even the people from Universal Pictures, don't know what the plot of this movie is.

Wagner didn't think it would be good for Tom to give advice without knowing anything about Tomb Raider.

Hearing Wagner's words, Tom looked very depressed, because he didn't know what to do.

If even Wagner can't give him advice, Tom is worried that he may be eliminated by the opponent tomorrow.

But compared to Tom's worries, Wagner seemed a lot more optimistic.

"Tom, since you can enter the retest, it means that you have something they need or appreciate more or less in you, so you don't need to worry too much."

Tom nodded as he listened, although Wagner didn't know what kind of movie "Tomb Raider" was.

However, he has also been in the film industry for a long time, and he is not the kind of rookie agent, so his opinions are still very useful.

But what Tom didn't know was that the reason why he was selected was not because of his outstanding performance, but because Lin Daoqiu accidentally saw his photo and name.

If Tom knew the reason why he entered the re-examination, he would definitely be more confused, but Lin Daoqiu would never let him know.

After receiving the notice to enter the re-examination, Tom couldn't sleep well all night. He tossed and turned in bed until three or four in the morning.

As soon as the alarm clock rang at nine o'clock in the morning, the sleepy Tom had to get up quickly and prepare to go to the studio of Universal Pictures to participate in the re-examination.

It was eleven o'clock in the morning when Tom arrived at the Universal studios.

Under the guidance of the staff, he came to the No. [-] studio. As soon as Tom entered, he found that dozens of actors who participated in the re-examination had gathered here.

After taking the number plate, Tom realized at this moment that he seemed to be too late.

From time to time someone was called into a neighboring room and then came out again.

Tom found that some of the people who came out looked happy with a smile on their faces, while others looked sad.

Judging from their expressions, it is easy to guess how their interviews turned out.

Sitting there and waiting was both exciting and tormenting for Tom. He wanted to get in quickly, but he was worried that he would be brushed off immediately after he got in.

After nearly two hours of struggling like this, Tom finally heard someone calling his name.

"Mr. Tom Cruise, please go in."

Hearing the staff calling his name, Tom Cruise stood up from his chair all at once.

Then he went to the door, opened it carefully and walked in.

When Tom Cruise entered the room, he found that the room was actually not that big. There were three tables with six people sitting around them, and the one sitting in the middle was a Chinese.

Tom Cruise recognized the identity of the other party at a glance. He is Lin Daoqiu, the screenwriter and producer of "Tomb Raider".

When Lin Daoqiu saw Tom Cruise coming in, although Lin Daoqiu didn't have the slightest fluctuation on his face, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Cruise, the future international superstar, is just a 21-year-old boy at this time. He looks very immature and young, but I have to say that he is really handsome.

In the past three years, when he starred in "Top Gun", it made him skyrocket from then on.

But now, he is still just an unknown actor. The "Virgin in Difficulty" he just starred in was a mess. With a production fee of 700 million, he only got 120 million in the North American box office.

This is definitely a major blow to the fledgling Tom Cruise, no wonder he wants to seize this opportunity so much.

　Thanks, MOTO-V3, everyone's big monthly pass!mwah! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
