Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 15 The Rich Woman's Food is Delicious
"Youth? Boys have to protect themselves too!"

Although Liu Yufei knew that this was definitely not the case, it did not stop her from taking the opportunity to throw a few contemptuous glances.

"What are you thinking about!" Lin Yuan was speechless. Is there gay culture in this era?
"Then explain clearly."

"You know when people feel old?"

Without waiting for Liu Yufei to answer, Lin Yuan continued:
“Aging is not determined solely by age, but when everything in your life seems set and there are no longer any possibilities, then you are truly old.”

Seeing the confusion in Liu Yufei's eyes, Lin Yuan explained:
"When we were teenagers, standing in the corridor between classes and gazing at the sky, we would fantasize about: Where will we go to college in the future? What major will we study and what job will we have? Who will we date? Who will we spend our lives with?"

"All of this is unknown, like a pile of cards that have not been turned over."

"This is youth. Everything is still undetermined. Our future has infinite possibilities."

"As time goes by, we go to school, work, get married, have children... one by one, the cards are gradually revealed, and our lives are gradually shaped."

“When all the major events in life are set in stone, when there are no more possibilities for surprises in the future, and when we can see the end at a glance, then we are truly old.”

"This feeling of powerlessness is the true feeling of aging, and it is far more distressing than physical weakness."

"That's Mr. Eisen's situation now. He's made enough money."

"He hasn't invested in movies in recent years. Is it because one more success or one less success doesn't matter to him?"

"He no longer has anything to look forward to in life."

"I wrote him a letter a few days ago, telling him that there are still many possibilities in life and that there are still things to challenge."

"For example, try to create an unprecedented legendary action star with your own hands, and leave a deep mark in human film history."

"Did he believe you?"

Liu Yufei understood how Lin Yuan impressed Mr. Eisen.

This kind of life rekindles hope and facing new and unknown challenges will indeed make people no longer depressed and bring youthful vitality.

"He didn't completely believe it, but he probably thought he could give it a try."

In fact, convincing Mr. Eisen is far from as easy as Lin Yuan said.

If it weren't for the action videos that Lin Yuan sent along with the letter, Mr. Eisen would never have believed in such a crazy goal as becoming an unprecedented superstar.

Even today, after the two officially met, Lin Yuan only gained preliminary recognition.

He needs to continue to prove himself with his achievements in the future in order to gain Mr. Eisen's continued support.

"You are not that old, how do you understand the thoughts of old men so well?" Liu Yufei immediately discovered the problem.

How to answer this?

Lin Yuan couldn’t say: Because I was really old, right?
Although he was only 42 years old in his previous life, he was already dying. He truly experienced the feeling that there were no possibilities in life.

That real feeling of powerlessness when aging comes.

No matter how hard you struggle, this is how your life will be!
When people are young, most of them think: My destiny is in my own hands.

But when people reach middle age, they often agree: My destiny is determined by God, not by myself.

Youth is great, Lin Yuan is once again grateful for having a second youth.

Faced with the fairy's question, he could only try to fool around: "Maybe I suddenly got it?"

"You've suddenly become so amazing. Not only can you speak, but you also understand people's hearts better."

"Because I have to mature faster so that I can protect the people I want to protect." Lin Yuan answered sincerely.

He didn't explicitly say who he wanted to protect, but his burning gaze made the answer self-evident.

Liu Yufei did not shyly lower her head to avoid his gaze, nor did she respond directly.

They understand each other tacitly, but they are still young now, and some things need to be dealt with more maturely.

"Oh, right? Didn't Director Cohen say an additional $1000 million would be enough for the new plan? Why did you ask for 1500 million?" Liu Yufei suddenly remembered. "Because 1000 million is definitely not enough. We need to leave room for error."

"Ok?"

"What if a valuable prop breaks? What if an actor has an accident and needs compensation?" Lin Yuan explained.

Liu Yufei immediately understood: "It's not that Director Cohen doesn't understand this, but $1000 million is already the limit for him. If the margin for error is taken into account, then we have no choice but to give up."

"With only $1000 million, the project would be incredibly risky. Any unexpected situation would bring the project to its knees, so I absolutely couldn't take Director Cohen's money. I couldn't risk his life savings."

"You are shining." Tianxian looked at him with a smile.

Lin Yuan also smiled and replied: "Good-looking people are full of confidence and are more likely to see the shining points of others."

"Am I someone else?"

"Of course you are not." Lin Yuan immediately made amends.

"Then take this. The password is my birthday. You need money for many things right now. The investment money Mr. Eisen gave you can only be used for public purposes. Many times, it is inconvenient for you to use the money when you need it privately."

Liu Yufei also took out a bank card from her windbreaker pocket and handed it to Lin Yuan.

"You're still a student. How can I spend your living expenses?" Lin Yuan pushed the bank card back.

"There's $30 on the card..." The card was handed over again.

"What?" Lin Yuan was shocked. "Where did you get so much money?"

"I saved $6 in pocket money over the years, and before the dot-com bubble burst this year, I made $30 in the stock market."

Lin Yuan was completely speechless. She actually managed to save $6 in pocket money as start-up capital...

How many people can have so much pocket money when they are students!
Moreover, 2000 was the year when the US Internet bubble burst, and countless people lost their fortunes.

Not only did Liu Yufei not lose money, but he was also able to successfully escape the top at a high level. This is really incredible.

She handed this windfall into his hands without hesitation.

This made Lin Yuan unconsciously think of his previous life, when he was paralyzed in bed and received selfless financial support from Liu Yufei.

In his previous life, he refused out of self-respect and abruptly cut off contact.

In this life, she sincerely took out money to help herself.

Lin Yuan suddenly felt a little dazed. The two lives of Liu Yufei seemed to overlap, and she had always been by his side.

In this life, will he accept this money?

Although it was true as Liu Yufei said that he needed money in many places, he still didn't want to take her money.

Maybe he still has some male chauvinism in his heart, and he always feels uncomfortable taking women's money.

Seeing that Lin Yuan seemed to still want to refuse, Liu Yufei said seriously, "The Lin Yuan I know is a truly open-minded person. If he still clings to his chauvinism, I will look down on him."

"You said I'm not someone else!"

Well, now that he has been blocked from speaking, what else can Lin Yuan say?
Throw me a papaya, and I will repay you with a jade.

He silently kept Liu Yufei's efforts in mind and was determined to repay her with a bright future!

"Okay, I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would be fed by a rich woman. Rich woman, food, food, it smells delicious!" Lin Yuan was no longer shy and took the bank card with a smile.

"That's right! But what the hell is a 'rich woman'? I'm still a girl!"

“The key is the fragrance.”

The noise was filled with laughter...
