Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 28: Road to Superstardom
The slight increase in the success rate confirmed Lin Yuan's long-held suspicion:

Action scenes of level B or higher difficulty must be more thrilling than ordinary people can imagine. Therefore, it is impossible to rely solely on attributes to complete action scenes of such difficulty.

After all, the system will not really turn him into a superman, otherwise it is hard to say whether he can become an action superstar. It is certain that he will be captured by a major scientific research institution and used as a guinea pig for research.

Therefore, he must master more skills to truly increase his success rate.

Lin Yuan has finished filming all his scenes, and Zhang Ziyu helped him book a flight for tomorrow. Unlike the economy class ticket he bought when he came here, he will be flying first class on the return trip.

During the remaining time, Lin Yuan did not travel again, and Zhang Ziyu also helped prepare the gifts for his friends.

So he simply stayed in the crew and observed the filming work carefully, which was also a way to gain some experience.

Lin Yuan was fascinated by the crew members busying around and working with great enthusiasm.

Chen Long had just finished filming a scene and left the set, walking towards Lin Yuan.

"The filming of the movie is almost finished. Are you confident about "Rush Hour 2"? " Chen Long asked.

"I believe there will be no problem."

Lin Yuan's answer was firm, not only because he could predict the future, but also because he had observed the working conditions of the crew these days, which gave him great inspiration.

Chen Long was a little surprised and asked with a smile: "Oh? Are you so confident?"

"Although I don't know much about directing and filming, I know a little bit about how to observe the team. When I see how they work, I know there will be no problem."

"How to say?"

Although Chen Long was very confident in his movie, it did not prevent him from wanting to hear what Lin Yuan, who was a half-outsider, saw.

"I have also participated in the filming of other films. In my experience, the attitude of the team members often determines the success or failure of a film.

If most crew members work with the mentality of "I want to get things done well", the success rate of the film will increase greatly."

Chen Long nodded, he knew that Lin Yuan was right.

If everyone is willing to do a little more, a movie that originally scored 70 points will become 80 points.

On the contrary, a movie that originally scored 70 points ended up with only 60 points.

This positive and negative deviation is the key to victory.

Chen Long certainly understands this. Every time he shoots a movie, he spares no expense to motivate his team.

It is to make them willing to treat the company's products as their own business from the bottom of their hearts.

“Although the interests of the team are tied together, no one is likely to be lazy.

But inevitably there will be some people who just slack off and fill in the gaps, so how can we tell if they are truly dedicated?

Chen Long asked again with a smile. He found that Lin Yuan had better vision than he expected.

"Brother, you're testing me? Then let me share my opinion."

"The crew members' unconscious language and behavior often reveal their mentality."

“If your crew members always ask you: I have finished this work, can you take a look at it?”

"Then it's highly likely that he wasn't putting his heart into it. He was working with the mindset of completing a task. He had no idea whether his work was good or not. He just finished the work and came to see if you accepted it."

"If you say his work is OK, he'll hand it over and the matter will be settled. If you say it's not OK or there are still problems, he'll try harder to make you accept it."

"A truly dedicated person will first do their best within their capabilities, and then think about whether they can do better. They will often ask you: 'I think it's not quite right, can you help me think about it?'"

"The mindsets reflected by these two communication methods are completely different. Fortunately, Rush Hour 2 is the latter, so I am very confident," Lin Yuan concluded.

"You're such a good judge of character! My team will truly be exceptional. They're my most valuable asset." Chen Long's face was filled with pride. This was the team he had spent over twenty years painstakingly building.

The core of any film company should be the production staff. In the field of cultural products, people are always the first factor.

A film team with complete job positions, rich project experience, team members who have been through running-in, mutual recognition and familiarity with each other's work processes cannot be obtained in the short term by just throwing money at it.

Chen Long is very fortunate to have such a team in his hands, which is the foundation for him to achieve all his grand goals.

But many high-ranking "elites" simply cannot see the value of human beings.

There are always arrogant capitals and local bosses from different industries who put money first and think that they can build a great team and then make a good movie with money.

It is very likely that the talented people hired with money will not get along well when they are gathered together, and the final result will be 1+1<1.

The team members have never experienced the process of getting used to each other, so they have difficulty collaborating, do not recognize each other, have poor cooperation, and have serious internal friction.

In the end, he had a good hand but lost miserably.

In fact, it is not only the film industry that is like this. The rules of games, animation, music... these cultural industries are also roughly similar.

If you fail to put people first and instead arrogantly throw resources at someone hoping to succeed, the result will often be a mess.

Lin Yuan can fully understand Chen Long’s pride, and he also hopes that one day in the future he will also have such a team.

It takes three to be a hero. If one wants to stay on the road to superstardom, it is impossible for him to do it alone.

Lin Yuan gained a lot from participating in the filming of "Rush Hour 2", not only playing an important role, but also earning a considerable amount of salary.

These days he has been thinking about how to go about becoming a superstar.

First of all, it’s the team. Lin Yuan has been observing and learning how the Chen family team operates.

After Chen Long saw through his thoughts, he directly stated that he would fully help Lin Yuan when he wanted to form a team in the future.

They could even directly assign some people to him as the starting backbone, clearly indicating that Meng Tao is one of the candidates.

Lin Yuan was very happy about Chen Long's kindness and expressed his gratitude again.

The second step on the road to superstardom is that Lin Yuan must establish his own unique style label.

When people think of Bruce Lee, they will say that he is the embodiment of "Kung Fu".

When talking about Chen Long, everyone will immediately think of the life-threatening action scenes and the humorous and interesting fighting style in the furniture city.

If Lin Yuan only learned Chen Long's dangerous action scenes, then as a latecomer, it would be impossible for him to reach the same level as Chen Long.

Lin Yuan must implant a unique and distinctive cognitive label in the minds of the audience, only then can he become a true legendary action star.

So what is his path?

Lin Yuan’s answer is: he wants to be the bearer of the concept of “martial arts”.

Any fighting technique or weapon skills should be mastered by him with ease and to perfection.

People all over the world think of him first whenever they mention actual combat techniques.

For anyone else, it's an impossible task.

But for Lin Yuan who owns the system, it is very possible to achieve it.

So the question is, how can we make the system release more skills?
