Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 144 Lin Yuan’s Influence
When Lin Yuan and Taylor Swift walked into the cinema, the first thing they saw was the giant poster of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

In the poster, Lin Yuan is standing in the center holding a sword.

Johnny Depp and Anne Hathaway stood on either side of him, and other important characters were also lined up in order.

From this poster, we can see that Lin Yuan is the absolute C position, and the largest space is used to highlight his presence.

In fact, the previous poster was not like this. In the previous version of the poster design, Lin Yuan and Depp each held a sword, looking at each other, with a tense look.

It is obvious that Lin Yuan and Depp were placed on equal footing for promotion at that time.

But who knew that Lin Yuan was so capable.

After a series of combined punches, Lin Yuan's popularity and attention soared.

It would be really stupid not to highlight Lin Yuan to boost box office at this time.

So the distributor worked overtime to produce a new version of the poster and quickly distributed it to cinemas across the country.

It is said that some remote locations, worried that the posters would be delivered inconveniently and miss the movie premiere, even used air transport to speed up delivery.

"You're everywhere. You're doing better and better." Taylor Swift nudged Lin Yuan gently with her elbow and said in a low voice.

Lin Yuan followed Taylor's gaze and saw a promotional poster of "Hero" there, with Lin Yuan still standing in the center.

"Hero", which was originally scheduled to be released at the end of April, had its release period extended to the summer season because of its strong box office performance and the popularity of Lin Yuan.

Although it only takes a week or two, it is of great help in increasing the box office.

Lin Yuan wanted to ask Mr. Eisen if "Hero" had accidentally earned tens of millions of dollars more?
In addition to "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Heroes" starring Lin Yuan, the cinema also displays promotional posters for several other movies currently in theaters, the most important of which is "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".

Lin Yuan knew this movie, which was a romantic comedy.

If I remember correctly, the box office of this movie "Historical Time and Space" reached 3.68 million US dollars, ranking 9th in the North American annual box office list, which is also considered a successful commercial film.

Among the major films currently released, "Pirates of the Caribbean" accounts for almost half of the screenings, reaching 48%.

"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" ranked second, accounting for 25%.

The third is "Hero", which gets stronger with each battle, with a screening rate of 13%.

These three films together account for 86% of the total screenings, and the remaining small portions are divided up by other films released at the same time.

Seeing this screening rate, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel sorry for "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".

This movie, which could have achieved good results, collided head-on with his "Pirates of the Caribbean", forming a competitive relationship.

As long as Pirates of the Caribbean performs significantly better than My Big Fat Greek Wedding, its schedule will continue to be eroded.

This is inevitable. "Pirates of the Caribbean" needs better results. After seeing the strong money-making ability of "Pirates of the Caribbean", theater owners will inevitably increase the number of screenings.

Then we have to sacrifice "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".

It seems that it can no longer maintain its ninth annual box office ranking in history.

In fact, another film originally competing for the May 2002, 5 slot was Spider-Man.

However, thanks to Mr. Eisen's strong operation, the release date of "Spider-Man" was finally slightly delayed.

After all, "Spider-Man" is also a super blockbuster and has ambitions for the box office. When the situation is not as good as that of its opponent, it will not choose to engage in a head-on collision.

After all, no one wants to have trouble with money. There are plenty of good opportunities, and there is no need to have a life-and-death duel over a disagreement.

At this time, the time was close to midnight.

Most of the people sitting in the waiting area were audiences preparing to watch the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Unlike other movies whose audiences are mainly young people under 40 years old, Lin Yuan was surprised to find that there were quite a few middle-aged and elderly people in their s and s with gray hair.

"You have great charm. You can even attract fathers of the audience to the cinema to support you. By the way, my parents are also your fans. Remember to give me a few autographs later." Taylor said with a smile.

"Maybe they are fans of the previous rugby game. After all, it is a national sport and people of all ages watch it." Lin Yuan sighed again that the cost-effectiveness of his friendly match was really high.

"Let's get closer and hear what they think of your movie." Taylor Swift held Lin Yuan's hand and finally found an empty seat.

"There's only one empty seat, so you should take it."

There were so many people waiting to watch the movie that this was the only seat left. "You sit down, and I'll sit on your lap."

Without waiting for Lin Yuan to answer, Taylor Swift pushed Lin Yuan to sit in the empty seat.

Then she turned around and sat sideways on Lin Yuan's thigh.

I have to say, American girls are really open-minded.

"Hold my waist, or I'll fall backwards if I'm not careful." Taylor Swift's ears turned red when she said this.

Lin Yuan smiled and wanted to say, "Then you don't have to sit down."

But he is not that stupid. No man would miss the opportunity to hold such a beautiful woman in his arms.

But Taylor Swift's relationship with him has not been made clear after all. She is like an ostrich with her head buried in the sand and cannot do anything too extreme for the time being.

So, Lin Yuan just gently put his hand on her waist.

The amazing elasticity and warm touch, transmitted along the fingertips, makes people unable to help but gently knead it twice.

"Don't move your hands. Listen to the audience's reaction."

Taylor Swift patted his hand gently, and saw Lin Yuan take his hand away.

She angrily grabbed Lin Yuan's hand again and gently put it back on her waist.

Seeing Taylor Swift's actions, Lin Yuan thought of the classic saying: When facing the person she likes, girls are always afraid that you will move around, but also afraid that you will not move around.

My predecessors did not deceive me.

At this time, two young men sitting on their left were talking. One of them was very tall and strong, while the other was shorter but still very strong.

The two people deliberately lowered their voices, but Lin Yuan and Taylor Swift, who were very close, could hear them clearly.

"It's so hard to buy movie tickets. I had to pay a higher price to get them." said the short and strong man.

"You are stupid. Instead of letting scalpers make this money, you might as well wait a few days and see." The tall and strong man complained.

"But after I saw those trailers, I couldn't wait to see it!"

"Yeah, I couldn't help drooling when I saw Lin Yuan's muscular body in the trailer." said the tall and strong man.

"Are you moved? Are you going to fall in love with someone else?" asked the short and strong man.

"How could that be? You are the only one in my heart. Looking at Lin Yuan is just for the sake of feasting your eyes. I don't believe you don't want to see." said the tall and strong man.

"Okay, I admit I'm drooling too. For a man, a nice set of muscles is the most beautiful outfit. Don't be like that fat guy next to you, who can't even cover up the fat on his belly."

"Even though he's fat, his girlfriend is beautiful! If I didn't like men, I'd have been swept off my feet by that woman!"

"So you're going to be straight again?"

"You're wronging me again! I was just lamenting how great it is to be rich. If I had that much money, I'd go to the gym every day and flirt with those strong men."

"You still say that I'm the only one in your heart? It turns out that men become bad when they have money!"

"It's just talk, don't be angry, baby!"

Hearing their highly informative conversation, Taylor Swift tried hard to hold back her laughter, but it was extremely difficult.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan could only pat her on the back to prevent her from laughing to death.

After a while, Taylor Swift finally recovered and whispered, "Sure, you're popular with both men and women now!"

"It's just an isolated case." Lin Yuan replied helplessly.

"Beware of the massive number of individual cases!" Taylor Swift expressed her opposition.

"Even though you're gay, I can't help but praise your beauty."

Although she knew Lin Yuan was trying to change the subject, Taylor couldn't help but ask, "Am I the most beautiful woman you know?"

Lin Yuancai didn't answer. He smiled and took her hand and stood up: "Let's go, the movie is about to start, let's go in."
