Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 108 Master-level driving skills
Lin Yuan took Aragaki Yui back to the Tokyo Palace Hotel, helped her book a room, and then immediately returned to his own room.

The reward given by the system made him eager to check it out.

[Host, please choose one of the following two skill rewards. ]

[Reward 1: Driving Skills (Master Level)]

[Reward 2: Riding (Master Level)]

Master-level driving skills?

Is it the kind of driving skill that comes from driving on a roadless surface? Or is it the kind of driving skill that comes from driving a large-displacement European or American car?

Master-level riding skills?
What are the riding techniques for ocean horses?
If it wasn't a choice between two options, there might still be some suspense.

But the current situation is definitely not what he expected.

Otherwise, it is the same skill and there is no need to choose one.

Which is better, riding a horse or driving a car?

This made Lin Yuan a little conflicted.

From the perspective of filming a TV series or drama, master-level riding skills may even be more useful.

Because racing movies like "The Fast and the Furious" don't actually require the filmmaker to have strong driving skills, after all, it mainly relies on post-production.

If you want to film the horse-riding battles of ancient wars, riding skills are a real hard skill. If you can't ride a horse, you can't play the role of a mounted general.

We can't just do it like later film and television dramas, where they fake a horse's head and only shoot the upper body, right?
But from the perspective of daily life, it is more appropriate to choose master-level driving skills.

After all, times have changed. There are almost no opportunities to ride a horse now, but driving is a necessary skill in life.

Which one to choose?

Lin Yuan's mind quickly flashed through the movies he wanted to try next. They all seemed to be Hollywood productions, and the possibility of requiring him to ride a horse was not high.

Although he felt a little regretful and didn't know when the system would give him riding skills again, Lin Yuan still decisively chose the master-level driving skills.

The familiar memory infusion came again, and this time the driving experience he gained was extremely complex.

It was not the technology he imagined, such as driving a car and completing various special effects shots.

Although there are some, this is only a small part.

It is more about his experience in driving various vehicles and driving under different road conditions.

In my memory, he drove a low-slung Formula One car and raced on the F1 track.

He once drove a modified rally car across the vast and complex mountains and fields.

He also drives various vehicles including heavy-duty trucks, forklifts, large mining trucks, etc.

He can even drive special vehicles like log trucks with ease and perform various unique skills.

One third of driving skills comes from operating techniques, one third comes from understanding the performance of various vehicles, and the last third comes from experience in dealing with various road conditions.

All of this constitutes a complete skill framework for master-level driving skills, so that Lin Yuan no longer has to worry about having a vehicle that he cannot control well.

This skill is of great help to Lin Yuan in his daily life, but is it helpful for filming?
The system detects my success rate in shooting vehicle-driving action scenes.

[Please do not take unnecessary risks. It is recommended to use post-production for vehicle driving action scenes. The host will not receive rewards for this type of action scenes.]

Lin Yuan was also very upset when he received the prompt. For the first time, the system clearly stated that it did not encourage the risk of shooting such action scenes.

Well, it seems that this master-level driving skill is a completely daily life skill, but it is still a core skill.

It was a busy day. So many things happened one after another since the plane landed in Tokyo. This long day finally passed.

……

……

In the next day, Lin Yuan completed two things in Tokyo.

The three great swordsmen's apprenticeship ceremony to him, and Yui Aragaki's contract.

Then, we flew to Kyoto, a city in the Gyeonggi region of Japan. Kyoto was the location for JNTO's Japan tourism promotional video.

In fact, Japan has very few tourist resources to offer. Tokyo and Mount Fuji have already been photographed to death, and there is nothing to see in Hokkaido this season.

The best choices for photography are the three ancient capitals: Kamakura, Nara, and Kyoto.

Among these three ancient capitals, JNTO chose Kyoto.

As the capital of the Muromachi shogunate, Kyoto has preserved many historical sites.

Although it is not worth mentioning compared with China's majestic ancient civilization, the Japanese style of freshness also has its own unique charm, and it is enjoyable to experience it occasionally.

The short film was shot at the Kinkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto.

It is called Kinkaku-ji Temple, but it is not actually a temple. Instead, it is the place where Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, practiced Buddhism when he became a monk.

That’s right, it’s the self-righteous and funny Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in “The Clever Boy, Ikki”.

It is worth complaining that the actual ruler of Japan, which we Chinese regard as barbarians, is actually called "Shogun"?
What kind of barbarians are I conquering? Am I conquering myself?

The original name of Kinkakuji Temple is Rokuon-ji Temple. It is a three-story wooden building in the shape of a gold ingot.

The first floor is a brown wooden structure with white walls, which is a place for people living here to practice.
The second floor is Chaoyin Cave, dedicated to Guanyin;

The third floor is a square Buddhist hall, where three statues of Amitabha Buddha are enshrined.

The second and third floors, as well as the exterior walls and beams, are all covered with gold foil for decoration.

The whole building looks golden, hence the name Kinkakuji.

It is spring now, a time of beautiful scenery.

The lush green mountains and waters, the glittering golden pavilions, and the surrounding lakes reflect the beautiful scenery, forming a beautiful picture.

It is different from other famous Japanese temples such as Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Senso-ji Temple, which have a people-friendly nature.

The Golden Pavilion represents the authority of the ruling class, and has a sense of high-end nobility in its alienation.

JNTO's choice to shoot Lin Yuan's promotional video here is actually a gesture of goodwill.

After all, they are powerful people from our country, so the photos have to be high-end, noble, and full of style to show sincerity.

The plot of the promotional video is also simple. Lin Yuan, as a tourist, reads ancient books here and then falls asleep unknowingly.

When I woke up, I was surprised to find that I had traveled back to the Warring States Period.

Three swordsmen played the role of criminals holding sharp blades who rushed here to assassinate the general, but they only saw Lin Yuan who had mistakenly entered the place.

In the critical moment, sword servant Aragaki Yui delivered a Japanese sword.

Lin Yuan, armed with a weapon, defeated the enemy with beautiful sword moves.

This duel was actually a replay of the fight that took place in the "Huajian" box that day.

It perfectly highlights Lin Yuan's sharp and graceful swordsmanship, but also takes the opportunity to show the beauty of Kinkakuji Temple and the outstanding side of Japanese swordsmanship.

It's a win-win situation, and Lin Yuan gets more benefits.

After all, he is relying on the reputation of the Japanese kendo master to show off to the world.

The Japanese do not think this is shameful, as the mentality of advocating for the strong is already written into their genes:

As long as you are strong enough and as long as I can learn something from you, it is not shameful to praise you.

With the completion of the short film shooting, Lin Yuan’s purpose of traveling to Japan has been achieved.

Mr. Eisen and his team have already returned to New York.

Lin Yuan still has some personal matters to settle, so he will stay for a few more days.

At this moment, he and the bright and beautiful girl were walking through the ancient streets of Kyoto.
