Actor Tom Cruise got a taste of Asian cellphone etiquette in Shanghai when a local reporter took a call in the middle of his press event on the city’s historic Bund on Wednesday. Such chatter is common in much of Asia, where people routinely talk on their phones in the middle of news briefings and many other public gatherings. But the American superstar, in town to shoot scenes for his latest “Mission: Impossible” movie, took it all in his stride, borrowing the phone from the surprised reporter to talk to the woman caller. “Hello. Xie xie. Ni hao. How are you?” said an amused Cruise, dressed in black, exhausting his limited Chinese vocabulary before going on to ask if the woman — the reporter’s wife — was at work and about her marital status.

It was “Mission: Unpredictable” for Tom Cruise when a reporter pulled out a cell phone and the actor insisted on talking to the person on the other end of the line. “Put her on the phone. I want to talk to her,” Cruise told the journalist, who sheepishly called someone Cruise assumed to be the man’s girlfriend. “Hello. Xiexie. Ni hao. Are you good?” said Cruise, handling the Chinese words for “thank you” and “hello” with ease. “Are you good? Are you working?” he asked. “Are you going to get engaged? Soon? Maybe?” Cruise was speaking to journalists atop the historic Bund 18 building as bells tolled and horns blared from ships passing on the nearby Huangpu River on Wednesday after wrapping up scenes for the new “Mission: Impossible” film, due in theaters next year. “Oh, you’re married?” asked the translator, who stepped in to help the conversation along. “Tell her I wish her happiness,” Cruise said. “Xiexie, bye-bye,” said the 43-year-old actor before handing the phone back to the reporter. Asked about his own plans to wed pregnant fiancee Katie Holmes, Cruise replied, “You want to know where we’re gonna get married? The exact date? The exact place? The color dress, designer?” He added: “You know, we haven’t set a date. … It will happen next year.”)

Cruise and his crew were meeting the media after wrapping up two weeks of shooting for “Mission: Impossible III.” The film was being shot in Shanghai and nearby Xitang, a town criss-crossed by canals, with other scenes in Italy, Germany and the United States. The visit to China by one of the world’s biggest stars, who is traveling with pregnant fiancee Katie Holmes, has created a massive buzz in the local media, where the actor is known affectionately as “Tang Ge,” or “Big Brother Tom.”
Cruise, whose credits include last year’s “War of the Worlds” and two previous “Mission: Impossible” movies, said during the briefing that he and Holmes, who plan to get married, have yet to set a date but that the wedding will happen next year.

During his brief China trip, Cruise has been spotted at a number of trendy Shanghai hang-outs, including a swanky restaurant on the Bund, and a Sichuan eaterie where he reportedly paid more than 5,000 yuan for a meal — an astronomical sum by Chinese standards.
The producers of “M:I3” reportedly payed 100 million yuan for the use of Xitang, which was sealed off to the public during filming. Total production costs for the film are expected to exceed $150 million.

SPECTACULAR
Shanghai’s Gotham-esque Jinmao tower, the country’s tallest building and home to the Grand Hyatt hotel, and the city’s futuristic Pearl TV tower, will both feature in the movie. So will the Huangpu River, which snakes through the city before feeding into the Yangtze.
Cruise gushed about the city’s spectacular vistas and the general thrill of his brief trip, saying he planned to come back in the future to see more of the country. “It’s spectacular. It’s unbelievable,” he said. “It’s going to look extraordinary on film.”

The first two “Mission: Impossible” movies made a combined $396 million at the North American box office. The new film is directed by J.J. Abrams, the creator of hit TV series Lost. It is scheduled for release next summer, a year later than originally planned due to production difficulties. The movie’s makers are negotiating to simultaneously release “M:I3” in the United States and China, in part due to the high rate of piracy in a market where films often show up on pirated discs just days after their worldwide premieres.

TheAge adds: Speaking to journalists atop the historic Bund 18 building as bells tolled and horns blared from ships passing on the nearby Huangpu River, Cruise said he finished shooting the China sequences for Mission Impossible 3 a couple days early. Both said they were warned that filming in China would be difficult due to language barriers, but found that working with the local crew went smoother than expected. “They enabled us to work at a terrific speed,” Cruise said. “I’m going to tell our friends how terrific and skilled the workers are.”
