Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 27 Lin Yuan's Mentality

Time suddenly came to early January 2001.

Lin Yuan originally planned to complete his guest appearance in Hong Kong Island within three days, but due to the increase in his role, he took more than ten days to shoot.

This disrupted Lin Yuan's schedule:

He couldn't go back to New York to spend Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve with Liu Yufei, so he felt a little guilty about it and called her to explain.

But Miss Tianxian was always considerate. Not only did she not get angry, but she comforted him that his career was the most important thing and they would have plenty of time to spend together in the future.

Of course, she also asked, "Will you be bored being in Hong Kong Island, a place you don't know?"

Lin Yuan immediately replied, "When you're eager to go home, even the best days are meaningless."

Tianxian expressed disdain on the surface, but the smile in her expression could be felt through the phone.

But this answer is not true. If I answer truthfully, the answer is of course: It’s actually pretty good in Hong Kong Island.

Although it was his first time in Hong Kong Island, Zhang Ziyu kindly took him around during her free time during filming.

There was no Disneyland in Hong Kong Island at that time, and it would not be completed and opened until 2005, so Lin Yuan went to Ocean Park.

Zhang Ziyu also took him to the top of Victoria Peak, where they could overlook Lantau Island and the panoramic view of Hong Kong Island.

As night fell, the two continued on the cruise to enjoy the brightly lit night view of Victoria Harbour.

These are things that Lin Yuan had never experienced in his previous life.

Although he lived until 2024 in his previous life, he had always lived in North America. What was even more tragic was that he had been paralyzed in bed for a long time since 2012.

He has never eaten a seafood feast, lived in a luxurious villa, or visited a theme park...

Nothing at all.

To sum it up in one sentence, I have never had a good life.

For him at that time, the wonderful world outside the window belonged to others, while he only had a broken life and a hopeless future.

So, when he traveled with Zhang Ziyu these days, he felt like the gaps in his life were being filled.

Maybe he may not like all these experiences, but it feels really good to try them.

On Christmas Eve, Zhang Ziyu smiled and took out the carefully prepared gift and handed it to him.

Lin Yuan was actually a little at a loss.

An Armani suit costing tens of thousands of yuan and a Rolex watch costing more than 600,000 yuan are also quite expensive for Zhang Ziyu, who was just starting to make money.

Lin Yuan does not value these material things, but the warmth of friendship can soothe his heart.

This trip to Hong Kong Island really calmed his mind.

Although he worked very hard before and always faced challenges head-on regardless of the consequences, it cannot be said that this was a bit extreme.

A stress response in this life due to unwillingness in the previous life.

This mentality has both advantages and disadvantages, but for Lin Yuan now, the disadvantages actually outweigh the advantages.

Now it’s time to slightly adjust your mindset, but don’t lose your fighting spirit. This is the best state.

After adjusting his mindset, Lin Yuan felt more at ease in the subsequent filming and the progress was extremely smooth.

After the script was revised, he had a total of six scenes in Rush Hour 2, three of which were action scenes.

When these scenes are edited into future movies, the total length is estimated to be only five or six minutes.

Although the time is not long, the scenes that Chen Long arranged for Lin Yuan are all the best.

He was not worried at all that Lin Yuan would steal his limelight, and the few scenes he arranged for Lin Yuan's character, Inspector Lin, were all brilliant highlights, so that the audience would remember this character.

Lin Yuan did not disappoint Chen Long's trust. There was a scene where he climbed up a seven-story building with his bare hands, which was filmed extremely well, even better than Chen Long's performance.

When the movie is released, it will surely shock many viewers.

[Complete a C-rank dangerous action scene and gain 2 points of allocable attributes.]

After completing all three action scenes, Lin Yuan received a reward prompt from the system.

Only the stair-climbing scene that was just completed reached a C-level difficulty level, while the other two scenes were only D-level in difficulty.

Due to the lack of challenge, the system does not give attribute rewards for D-level difficulty games. Earning attributes in the system is becoming increasingly difficult.

Lin Yuan immediately opened his own properties panel:
【Name: Lin Yuan】

[Age: 18 years old]

【Strength: 14】

[Agility: 16]

[Physique: 15]

[Assignable attributes: 2]

[Skills: Master-level swordsmanship, Master-level parkour, Master-level flying knife]

How to add some?

The physical attribute limit is locked and cannot be increased any further.

Lin Yuan’s first reaction was to choose agility.

Now he is very familiar with the role of the attribute. Although it is called agility, it actually has nothing to do with speed.

If he wants to run faster, the attribute he should increase is strength. Only by increasing muscle strength can Lin Yuan run faster.

The true interpretation of agility should actually be: sharp perception and quick response.

All of this is reflected in Lin Yuan's control over his body.

The higher the agility, the better Lin Yuan can control his body.

Therefore, it is extremely appropriate to understand agility as the "skill" of using the body.

"Strength" and "skill" always need to be balanced, neither is indispensable and cannot be neglected.

While Lin Yuan attaches importance to the "skills" represented by the agility attribute, he also knows the importance of "strength".

Thus, he overcame his obsession with using up all his attribute points.

【Power: 14→15】

[Assignable attributes: 2 → 1]

The power increase provided by the system is amazing. While enhancing Lin Yuan's physical fitness, it will not turn him into a muscle monster.

If he really becomes a big muscleman because of the increase in strength, then Lin Yuan has to think carefully.

He would never be favored by the opposite sex that way, and even Liu Yufei would complain about him.

A man's fitness muscles, like a woman's manicure, can only be appreciated by the same sex.

As his strength increased again, Lin Yuan felt that he had once again achieved all-round improvement.

There is no need to explain the jumping ability and load-bearing capacity. This time the improvement in strength is more reflected in the running speed.

Lin Yuan clearly felt that if he participated in the 100-meter race, he might not be able to beat Bolt, but he should have no problem running under ten seconds.

This is already the level of a top sprinter.

A faster running speed means that Lin Yuan can jump farther and perform more difficult action scenes.

[The host's potential limit has been reached and this attribute cannot be further improved. Complete the task: Establish a close relationship with any non-B-type girl, and the host will be rewarded with a breakthrough in potential limit.]

As the strength increased to 15 points, the system popped up again to remind Lin Yuan: If you want to become stronger, please take the path of Poseidon in time.

Lin Yuan ignored him and asked: Re-evaluate the probability of completing my action scenes.

[Action scene danger level C, host success rate: 80%.]

[Action scene danger level B, host success rate: 22%.]

So few?

Grade C increased from 77% to 80%.

Grade B increased from 20% to 22%.

What should I do?
