Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 153 Second Ring Mission Completed

“Now, let’s calculate the projected worldwide box office for Pirates of the Caribbean and how much money we have now,” Mr. Eisen said.

"Have the global box office performance estimates come out?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Well, it was just released last night. Take a look." Mr. Eisen took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan took it and opened it. When he saw the first line of words, a smile appeared on his face:
"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is expected to gross $10.8 billion worldwide.

This result is nearly US$6.54 million higher than the historical result of US$4.3 million.

It also surpassed The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers' $9.36 million.

This means that Lin Yuan’s second round of mission is completed!
"The production cost of 'Pirates of the Caribbean' is $1.4 million, and our investment is $4000 million, so we can get a dividend of about $1.5 million."

After all, this movie is led by Disney, and Linyuan Film Studio's investment is only 28.5%.

Such gains are already considerable.

"Including the proceeds from Heroes, our studio's cash flow will exceed $7.7 million."

When the film studio was founded, Mr. Eisen invested $5 million.

After the huge profits from the two movies "Hero" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", the company's cash flow has increased instead of decreased and is about to exceed 7.7 million US dollars.

As for the loss of staff salaries, it has naturally been taken into account long ago.

Although the studio's film production staff also have salary costs, Lin Yuan uses them when filming movies and they are paid by the crew.

So as long as there is enough work, the staff of the film studio will not only not consume cash flow, but will also increase the company's cash flow reserves.

"What are your plans for the movie next? We have plenty of ammunition now," asked Mr. Eisen.

Mr. Eisen is not arrogant. Apart from the eight major film companies, there are really few companies with more funds than Linyuan Film Studio.

This amount of funds is enough to start production on six top-notch films simultaneously.

But in fact, it is impossible to do so, because the film studio is run with Lin Yuan as the core.

No matter how much money he has, it is impossible for Lin Yuan to star in too many movies at the same time.

"Wait a few days and I'll give you a new movie plan." Lin Yuan said.

In fact, he was waiting for the system to give a prompt that the task was completed, and then decide what kind of movie to shoot based on the goal of the next task.

As soon as this thought came to mind, the system's golden text immediately appeared before his eyes:

[Second Mission: Star in a Hollywood action movie and achieve the annual global box office championship.]

[The second round of tasks has been completed, the host has obtained the distributable attribute: 11 points! ]

Lin Yuan was stunned when he saw the system prompt. He didn't expect the system to be so user-friendly.

There is no need to wait until "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is released at the end of the year and its box office results are released, and only then will you be given prompts and rewards for completing the task when it is indeed not as good as yours.

Instead, rewards are given directly based on the comparison of box office results in history.

……

……

After returning home from the cemetery, Lin Yuan immediately opened his attribute panel.

【Name: Lin Yuan】

[Age: 20 years old]

【Strength: 20】

[Agility: 20]

[Physique: 17]

[Assignable attributes: 11]

[Skills: Master-level Swordsmanship, Master-level Parkour, Master-level Knife Throwing, Master-level Boxing and Kicks, Master-level Line Delivery, Master-level Performance Techniques, Advanced Performance Skills, Master-level Marksmanship, Master-level Knife Skills, Master-level Japanese, Master-level Gymnastics, Master-level Driving, Master-level Aquatic Sports, Master-level Massage]

[Action Scene Danger Level B, Host Success Rate: 68%.] Once again has 11 assignable attributes.

Since strength and agility cannot be improved for the time being, increasing physical fitness is the only option.

What's more, when the physical fitness is increased to 20 points, the advanced performance experience can undergo a transformation.

So Lin Yuan decisively allocated attribute points to Constitution:
[Physique: 17→20]

[Assignable attributes: 11 → 5]

As his physical fitness increased to the limit of human level, the first thing Lin Yuan felt was that his endurance had been greatly improved.

This method of improving endurance is extremely magical, and it is not simply increasing Lin Yuan's lung capacity.

In fact, Lin Yuan’s lung capacity is only about 7000 ml so far.

Although this value is far higher than the 4000 ml level of an average adult man, it is also higher than the 5000 ml level of an average athlete.

However, many top swimmers have a lung capacity of up to 8000 ml, and even the Guinness World Record has reached 16000.

However, the space in the human body is limited, and blindly expanding lung capacity is not a good thing for Lin Yuan.

The system would never use such a simple and crude method to increase his endurance. It is too unskilled.

Therefore, what was truly enhanced in Lin Yuan was the efficiency of blood oxygen utilization and muscle lactic acid tolerance.

The increase in blood oxygen utilization rate improves the efficiency of oxygen utilization, and lactic acid tolerance makes Lin Yuan less likely to feel muscle soreness during strenuous exercise.

The comprehensive enhancement of these two attributes, coupled with his far superior lung capacity, together constitute Lin Yuan's super endurance.

With Lin Yuan's current endurance, running a marathon or something like that would not be too easy.

But what means the most to him is that he can now handle action scenes that require more physical exertion.

Scenes that previously required diving into deeper seas and engaging in underwater combat are now challenging enough.

In addition to a significant increase in endurance, Lin Yuan's bone density and cartilage ligaments were also further strengthened.

He still remembers falling from a height of about 3 meters while filming "Jurassic Park ".

Although he was cushioned by branches several times, his eyes were still bloodshot and he had various soft tissue bruises, which was quite uncomfortable.

After resting for several days, he gradually recovered.

But with his current physical condition, if he falls like this again, he might be able to get up, dust himself off, and continue filming as normal soon.

This is the greatest benefit brought by improved physical fitness. It allows Lin Yuan to reduce a lot of pain troubles when filming those action scenes where he has to endure injuries.

In addition to the two improvements mentioned above, Lin Yuan found that the length of his Achilles tendon had also been further strengthened.

His Achilles tendon length was 38cm before, but now it has reached 43cm.

Just like Bolt's theoretical length, it is at the human limit.

Lin Yuan still feels regretful, why not 48?
If the last digit is not 8, it has no soul.

However, his physical condition can still be improved, so there may be opportunities in the future.

When his physique was raised to 20 points, another golden system text immediately appeared in front of Lin Yuan:
[The host's strength has been detected to have increased to 20 points, and the advanced performance experience has been upgraded to master-level performance experience.]

Originally, Lin Yuan thought that he would feel the infusion of memory and experience the effect of the master-level performance experience.

But the system did not do such a meaningless thing, because Lin Yuan's skills could already be integrated and upgraded.

The system immediately displayed the following golden text:
[It is detected that the host possesses master-level acting skills, master-level dialogue skills, and master-level performance experience.]

[In the field of performance, the host has reached the pinnacle, and three skills have been integrated and upgraded! ]

[After the three skills merge, they disappear and a new legendary talent is generated.]

[The host obtains a legendary talent: Life is a play.]

　Thanks to book friend [MR.xinsen] for the reward.
