Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 125 The last collaboration with Annie

"The box office won't lose too much, but it will still be a loss. I want to win this time," said Lin Yuan.

Mr. Eisen thought for a moment and said, "Both the subject matter and the core are at a disadvantage. 'The Lord of the Rings 2' still has the strong reputation of the first film. 'Pirates of the Caribbean' is a less popular subject matter and a starting point.

The only way to bridge this gap is to create hype."

"Yes, I think so too. Take a look at this." Lin Yuan handed a plan to Mr. Eisen.

"Are you planning to shoot the third part of the time-space short drama with Anne, and use this to boost your popularity before the release?" Mr. Eisen asked.

"Yes, but it's more than that. My goal is to kill three birds with one stone." Lin Yuan replied.

"Kill three birds with one stone?"

Mr. Eisen could only see the first bird in the plan, and he couldn't see where the remaining two were for the time being.

But he believed that Lin Yuan would not do anything without a purpose.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Eisen said, "I support you, but I must remind you of one thing."

"Please say!"

"This is your last collaboration with Annie in the short term. It's time to break up your on-screen relationship. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to deal with it if you are completely locked in."

Lin Yuan nodded, he understood this principle.

Many celebrities in later generations also hyped up their CPs before they became famous, but when it reached a certain point, the CPs had to be broken up.

Otherwise, the two of them would be locked in the eyes of the audience and would not be able to cooperate with other actors.

Therefore, this promotional short film, as the last part of Lin Yuan and Annie's time and space trilogy, is also their last collaboration in the short term.

"But just this short film is not enough to make you popular enough to beat The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers," Mr. Eisen still reminded.

"I know, look at my backhand!"

"Okay, then I'll make an appointment with Annie and prepare the necessary documents."

……

……

April 2002, 4, shooting day.

The name of this short film is "Letter from the Future".

At the beginning of the film, the majestic Mount Rainier is shown on the screen.

The white snow-capped mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist, look like a fairyland.

The half-hidden clouds in the distant mountains, covering the peaks, slowly rise up, making people feel the solemnity of death in the beautiful scenery.

At the foot of the mountain, amidst a dense green forest, there is a quiet cemetery.

Anne plays a young woman in her twenties who is standing in front of a tombstone.

She carefully cleaned the fallen leaves and weeds around the tombstone, as if she was caressing her lover's face.

After everything was done, she stared at the photo of the handsome man on the tombstone for a long time, refusing to leave.

As the sky darkened, she murmured, "Lin Yuan, this is the last time I'll come to see you. Let's say goodbye here. I hope we'll be together again in the next life."

After saying that, she drove away and returned to her home in Seattle.

The first thing Anne did when she got home was to pick up the medicine bottle on the table, but she quickly put it down again.

Anyway, it’s already the end stage, so what difference does it make whether you eat or not?

Anne suffers from an extremely rare central nervous system degenerative disease, which is very similar to Alzheimer's disease, commonly known as senile dementia, in that it causes people to gradually lose their memory and cognition.

This disease tortures not only the patient but also his family until death.

In fact, Anne's disease is better than Alzheimer's disease because it can be cured with certain special medicines, but it must be intervened in the early stages.

But when Anne was diagnosed, it was too late. She had missed the best period for treatment and could only delay her death.

She is twenty-two years old this year, but she only has memories after the age of twenty. All memories before that have been erased by the disease.

Thanks to the care of her husband Lin Yuan over the years, she is still alive today.

Annie couldn't remember how she met Lin Yuan or how they fell in love. She only knew that during the time when she had lost most of her memories, forgotten all she had learned, and could no longer earn a living, it was this man who took care of her.

But a year ago, Lin Yuan, a mountain guide, died in a landslide on Mount Rainier.

This happened when Anne was twenty-one years old, but she was about to forget even the last memory of her husband.

Annie had a simple meal, then sat at the table and looked through photos of her and Lin Yuan.

This was her only pleasure.

The greatest gratitude in her heart is that she, who is so unfortunate, can meet Lin Yuan and gain his love in her lifetime.

This way my life is not in vain.

This time, when Annie turned to the last page of the album, she accidentally used too much force and tore a corner of the album cover.

Ok?
She was surprised to find that there was a laminated photo hidden in the interlayer of the album cover.

Anne pulled out the photo and found it was a high school graduation photo.

Lin Yuan in the photo was seventeen or eighteen years old, and I was hugging him, and the whole class took this graduation photo together.

She was young and beautiful back then. Although she looked a little different from me now, I could still recognize that it was me.

"What? Why would you hide such a memorable photo?" Annie looked at the photo and turned it to the back.

There were several pieces of paper pasted on the back, with each classmate's name and contact address written on it.

"Where did I live before?"

Anne looked it up curiously.

But after a quick glance, she couldn't find her name or address?

She discovered that the list was arranged in order from left to right.

Lin Yuan was in the sixth place and I was in the seventh place.

Annie counted several times and the seventh name on the list was: Taylor Swift.

But my name is Annie Lin?

No, my name should have been Anne Hathaway at that time, and I hadn't taken my husband's last name yet.

Although I'm constantly losing my memory, I wouldn't get my name wrong, and my driver's license and bank information wouldn't lie.

Who is Taylor Swift?

She frantically checked the entire list, reading it several times from beginning to end. Still, there was no one named Anne Hathaway on the list...

There really isn't my name on the list!

Isn’t the woman hugging Lin Yuan in the photo me?

Anne felt even more panic in her heart.

If the girl hugging Lin Yuan is not herself, does it mean that she is the woman Lin Yuan truly loves.

And I am treated as a substitute just because I look like her?

If that's true, then her life is truly a joke.

She has lost everything. If even Lin Yuan's love is fake, then what did she ever have?
With great uneasiness, Anne began to write letters.

Ms. Swift:

Are you ok?

I'm not very good.

Anne Lin.

I wrote this letter which has no beginning or end and is very confusing.

She went to the door of her house, to the brand new red mailbox, and put the letter in it.
