Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 251 Time flies

Time flies, years pass.

After finishing his Christmas vacation, Lin Yuan immediately flew back to the crew's location.

At this time, the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest" has arrived at the final filming location: Dominica.

Before coming here, Lin Yuan was full of curiosity about this paradise island country.

To Lin Yuan, this country is mysterious, as it is to most of the people in the country.

After all, as the backyard and holiday resort of Americans in the Dominican Republic, it has had no intersection with China for a long time.

It took until 2018 for diplomatic relations to be established, making it one of the last countries in the world to establish diplomatic relations with China.

Sugarcane, cigars, rum and chocolate are the most famous specialties here.

As Meng Tao stuffed a box of cigars into Lin Yuan's arms, his smirk became more and more like Depp's. "Lin Yuan, I know you don't smoke, but you should be able to give it to your friends. I bet Vin Diesel and Director Cohen would love it."

"Added ingredients?" Lin Yuan's expression was serious: "Don't force me to turn against you!"

"What? How could I possibly touch that stuff? This is the local specialty 'Beauty Fragrance' cigar, a super good product!" Meng Tao replied.

"I don't understand what's so good about this thing. I don't smoke." Lin Yuan said.

"The beautiful local girls pick dew-covered tobacco leaves with their lips in the early morning, smoke them with basswood, and finally rub them on their plump thighs to make cigars. Don't you think it's intoxicating?" said Meng Tao.

"Plucking tobacco leaves with your lips? I feel like this is some kind of anti-intellectual legend."

"This box of cigars costs $5000! Do you want them?!"

"Of course, it's so expensive, I can give it to someone else."

Lin Yuan still accepted this local specialty.

This incident shows the local creativity in tourism development and concept marketing.

The days of filming in the Dominican Republic were as leisurely and comfortable as those in Phi Phi Island. We were basically in a state of half vacation and half work.

During this period, Lin Yuan also became completely familiar with Annie's body.

It’s just that they all have their own paths to follow, and their lives are not destined to be tied together. This was agreed upon from the beginning.

As the filming draws to a close, the two will go their separate ways.

On the last night, Annie was so crazy that even the big shot Lin Yuan was almost overturned.

Finally, all the filming tasks came to an end on the beautiful beaches of the Dominican Republic.

The remaining time is devoted to post-production.

The tentative release date for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is Christmas 2.

Before I knew it, it was already the end of January 2003.

During this period, Liu Yufei was busy in China with three tasks: supervising Linyuan Company, teaching at school, and preparing for the filming of a new movie.

Fortunately, she is very smart, and the three things progressed smoothly without interfering with each other.

Liu Yufei is very busy, and Taylor Swift is even busier.

Her second solo album "Fearless" has been officially completed, but it was not released to the market immediately.

Instead, he released two songs, "You belong with me" and "Love story", in the form of singles.

The first one is of course "You belong with me". The operation of this song started last year with Lin Yuan and Annie's short film "Letter from the Future" and the rugby incident.

Later, the public outcry caused by Depp's hospitalization once again heated up the topic.

The quality of this song "You belong with me" itself is solid enough that even without Lin Yuan's participation in the previous life, it still reached the second place on the Billboard singles chart.

With Lin Yuan's help in this life, the song immediately shot to the top of the Billboard singles chart with unstoppable momentum upon its release, becoming Taylor Swift's first number one single.

"You belong with me" stayed at the top of the charts for more than twenty days before it began to show some signs of decline.

At this time, Taylor Swift's music studio immediately released her second single "Love Story".

Then a magical scene appeared. The newly released "Love story" took over from "You belong with me" and topped the charts again.

This became Taylor Swift's second number one single.

In just less than a month, Taylor Swift went from being a newcomer in the music industry to becoming the hottest and most popular female singer in the music industry.

Seeing that the time was right, Taylor's second album "Fearless" was released on the market.

Ultimately, the album sold 1200 million copies in North America and more than 2000 million copies worldwide.

This result shocked all the pop stars, who exclaimed that a monster newcomer has arrived!

When Taylor Swift held this shining report card in her hands, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She narrowed the distance between herself and Lin Yuan a little, and could tell him with more confidence that she was his most reliable support and guarantee.

……

Still in Douglaston Town, in Mr. Eisen's study, the two sat facing each other.

Mr. Eisen drank bitter coffee, while Lin Yuan drank sweet milk coffee, and they despised each other's taste.

"Lin Yuan, don't take it lightly. This year's Oscar has something to do with you," said Mr. Eisen.

"I just realized it too. After all, the Oscar award was out of my reach before," Lin Yuan replied.

It’s not that he doesn’t care about the Oscar, but it was never his turn before, so naturally he didn’t care too much about it.

Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, that award belonged to director Ang Lee, Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, and Jade Emperor.

My role is so important in the movie that I don't deserve or deserve any of this glory.

In 2001, Lin Yuan only starred in one movie: "Jurassic Park 3".

The bottom line of this movie is that it's still a bad movie that loses money.

Although he reversed the box office, the quality of the film will definitely not be favored by the Oscar committee.

Therefore, the 2002th Academy Awards in 74 still had nothing to do with Lin Yuan.

But now it is 2003, and the 3th Academy Awards, to be held in March this year, will be for films released in 75.

In 2002, Lin Yuan had two films released, "Hero" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl".

Both films performed extremely well in terms of word of mouth and box office.

This also means that Lin Yuan has a chance of winning the award!

For him, the Oscar award suddenly became meaningful.

"How many awards can we win this year?" Lin Yuan asked.

“Although the nominations haven’t been announced yet, I’ve already got some inside information,” Mr. Eisen replied.

"Is there really a plot? Then tell me about it."

Lin Yuan's curiosity was immediately piqued by Mr. Eisen's words.
