Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 98 Neon Trip
Master of time management?
Lin Yuan feels that this skill seems a bit unreliable?

But I couldn't help but be curious and wanted to know what effect this skill would have.

After all, so far, all the skills given by the system, although unreasonably powerful, have not exceeded the scope of normal understanding.

But what does it take to be a master in time management?
It's impossible to really bend time so that his day is longer than 24 hours, so that he can have time to accompany them, right?
That's absolutely impossible. This isn't a fantasy world. Things like supernatural powers are too out of place.

However, you still need to establish close relationships with the two girls. It will take some time to acquire this skill.

Therefore, Lin Yuan didn't think too much about it for the time being.

"Just pick whichever job you like. There's no need to overthink it. To me, there's no difference."

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't speak for a long time, Mr. Eisen couldn't help but speak.

"Indeed, those high-end luxury endorsements are meaningless to me." Lin Yuan replied.

If those popular stars in the future heard what he said, they would be so angry that they would jump to their feet.

Those with traffic and fans are eager to use high-end luxury endorsements as evidence of their success and worth.

It seems that by endorsing these high-end luxury products, one becomes more high-end and appears more expensive.

But in Lin Yuan's view, it is nothing more than cheering for his own commercialization.

The chick knows the ambition of the swan.

Lin Yuan didn't think much of this path. Apart from the Cartier watch commercial he shot with Annie last time, he hadn't taken on any other high-end luxury endorsements.

Lin Yuan carefully selected several public service advertisements and avoided pitfalls in ideological areas such as climate protection, human rights, etc.

Once he has gained some experience and has become more well-known, he will return to China to do more.

After all, European and American countries are so rich that they don't really need him to make further contributions. A token of his support will be enough.

Finally, Lin Yuan handed a cooperation invitation to Mr. Eisen: "I want to take this."

Mr. Aisen took it and looked at it. "An invitation from the Japan National Tourism Organization to be a tourism spokesperson?"

The Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) is a government agency that aims to further promote international exchange through tourism.

Its responsibilities include promoting tourism to Japan through various tourism expansion activities both in Japan and abroad.

Recently, with the popularity of several movies and the short film "Time and Space" trilogy, Lin Yuan has gained considerable popularity.

If he were not of Chinese descent, his achievements would have allowed him to become a top-tier celebrity.

So when JNTO wanted to shoot a tourism promotional video, it also extended an olive branch to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan, who had already planned to explore the Japanese market, naturally thought this was a good opportunity.

"Yes, I want to explore the Japanese market. It will be very helpful for my film career. After all, it is the second largest cultural market in the world." Lin Yuan replied.

Mr. Eisen nodded. "That makes sense. We should give it a try."

“Do you have a detailed promotional video plan?”

"We can only receive this after we reach a preliminary cooperation intention. Why? Is there anything taboo?" asked Mr. Eisen.

"Yes, I am Chinese after all. The two countries have heavy historical baggage, so there are some minefields that must be avoided."

Lin Yuan had a clear mind. He understood that the prerequisite for his expansion into Japan was that he had to be upright.

Regarding Japan, Chinese people clearly implement a dual approach:
We like your Japanese dramas, anime, games, pop music, and short movies.

But it doesn't stop us from hating this country.

Hayao Miyazaki and Akira Toriyama are good people.

Yui Aragaki and Satomi Ishihara are good wives.

But that doesn't stop me from hating the Japanese.

Lin Yuan is worried that the promotional video may exploit his Chinese identity, praise one and put down another, or contain other suggestive plots.

"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to the other party first to confirm that the script is okay before signing the formal contract," Mr. Eisen replied.

……

……

It was already evening when the plane that Lin Yuan and his group were on arrived at Tokyo International Airport.

This airport is also known as Haneda International Airport. It is a 4F-level airport and the largest airport in Japan. It is about kilometers away from the center of Tokyo.

"JNTO has arranged staff to pick us up at the airport, and we will stay at the Tokyo Palace Hotel." Mr. Eisen said to Lin Yuan as they walked.

Palace Hotel Tokyo?

Although Lin Yuan had never been to Neon, he knew about this luxury hotel.

This is a top-notch hotel located next to the Imperial Palace of Japan, and the environment must be excellent.

Transportation is also extremely convenient, and there are many scenic spots around.

For example, the famous Sensoji Temple is only 6 kilometers away and can be reached in ten minutes by taxi.

If you want to go up to Tokyo Tower to see the night view of the neon capital, it is only 5 kilometers away.

The JNTO staff arranged for them to stay in this hotel, which clearly showed that they attached great importance to them.

But it's normal to think about it. After all, a rich man like Mr. Eisen will be treated like a supreme being wherever he goes.

Lin Yuan currently does not have the status to be treated like this by others, so he is still relying on Mr. Eisen.

When Lin Yuan and his group walked out of the airport, a group of staff in formal attire were already waiting there holding flags.

The leader, a middle-aged man in his forties, stepped forward quickly. He shook Mr. Eisen's hand first and said in broken Japanese English:
"Welcome, distinguished guests! I'm Takeo Nakamura, and on behalf of JNTO, I welcome you."

Nakamura Tsuyoshi? Isn't this the head of JNTO?
Will the boss come to greet them personally?

But when you think about Mr. Eisen's wealth and status, it all seems reasonable.

"Thank you Mr. Nakamura for the reception. This is our company's ace star, Mr. Lin Yuan." Mr. Eisen shook hands lightly and then let go. Then he took a step back and solemnly introduced Lin Yuan.

Seeing Mr. Eisen's behavior, Nakamura Tsuyoshi was stunned.

He didn't expect that Mr. Eisen valued Lin Yuan so much that he was willing to step back and play a supporting role.

It seems that we need to re-evaluate Lin Yuan’s status and value.

Nakamura Tsuyoshi only showed a standard Japanese smile, polite but soulless.

He smiled and continued in Japanese English: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lin Yuan. I hope you enjoy your trip."

The Japanese really go a bit overboard with their etiquette. Nakamura Tsuyoshi, who is in his forties, is obviously Lin Yuan's elder, but he is not ambiguous at all when using honorifics.

But that's how Japanese etiquette is. No matter how much he respects you in form, it does not represent his true thoughts.

Lin Yuan did not answer in English, but replied in a genuine Kanto accent: "Please take care of me, and I wish us a happy cooperation."

The dividing line between Kanto and Kansai in Japan is Sekigahara. The spoken language in the Kanto region, represented by Tokyo, is the Kanto dialect.

The Kansai region, represented by Osaka, speaks what the Japanese consider to be the Kansai dialect.

It can be simply understood as the difference between the Beijing accent and local dialects in China.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, you can speak Japanese! And you speak it better than I do! If I didn't know you were Chinese, I would have thought you were a native Japanese. I was worried about communication problems before, but now I'm not worried at all."

For the Japanese, who are usually reserved and restrained, this is already an exaggerated expression of surprise.

"If you know a little bit, we can communicate directly in Japanese." Lin Yuan replied.

"That's great. I have arranged dinner for you at the hotel. Please come this way." After saying that, Mr. Nakamura bowed and asked the guests to go first.

The group arrived at the Tokyo Palace Hotel in a Crown business car used for reception.
