Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 293 Watching the Behind-the-Scenes Has Become a Tradition

In the final battle of the movie, Thorne finally hacks into the private satellite of a wealthy man in a mysteriously confident country in the East.

Using this satellite, he issued a launch command to a large black fish cruising deep in the Arctic Ocean.

The camera cuts to the hands of two Russian officers. After confirming the launch order again with solemn expressions, they finally turned the mechanical safety lock and pressed the launch button.

From the back of the big black fish, an intercontinental ballistic missile, accompanied by a series of dense bubbles, was shot vertically towards the sea surface.

The moment the missile emerged from the water, it paused in the air for a moment, and then the missile engine was cold-started and ignited.

The crimson tail flame, with its enormous power, pushed the missile high into the sky.

Soon, the missile flew out of the atmosphere, removed its depleted fuel shell, and flew straight towards Washington.

The shortest distance is to launch a large log from the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, then pass through Greenland and over Canada and directly reach Washington, the entire journey takes only 15 minutes.

Seeing this scene, the audience at the scene began to discuss:

"Humanity's core technologies truly only have two: boiling water and throwing rocks. The Big Black Fish perfectly integrates these two core technologies!"

"The cold start ignition of an intercontinental ballistic missile is so cool, it's a deadly beauty."

"I hope I never see this beauty. If I do, we'll probably be back in the Stone Age, picking up beer bottle caps."

"Once Washington is hit, a counterattack system similar to Dead Hand will be activated. It's so immersive!"

On the big screen, Thorne was holding the launch box tightly, while Lin Yuan was trying desperately to snatch the box.

The launch box can issue a launch command or shut down the detonator on the warhead. As long as Lin Yuan grabs the box, everything can be saved.

Tyson, one of the villain bosses, also joined the final showdown.

He fought side by side with Thorne and had a back-and-forth battle with Lin Yuan.

In the end, Lin Yuan defeated the two men with great difficulty, grabbed the launch box, and pressed the shutdown button at the last moment.

The warhead, which had a TNT equivalent of at least 50 tons, was seen to have its detonator turned off. It was like a huge piece of metal, which scraped across the roof of a building and fell into the sea.

"Splash!" It only caused a big splash of water.

All that remains is the ending.

In fact, there was a small bug when the movie was shooting this part.

Because the warhead usually explodes in mid-air at an altitude of 3 to 5 kilometers above the ground.

This is the only way to spread more energy to the city below the airburst point, maximizing the power.

If, as in the movies, the warhead had to explode when it hit a ground building, a large amount of shock waves would be weakened by the city buildings, and the maximum effect would not be achieved.

However, in order to make the film more visually appealing and thrilling, Lin Yuan still chose this approach.

This is also a standard routine in Hollywood movies. The audience likes to watch this, so everyone shoots it this way.

Sometimes, rationality can be sacrificed appropriately.

When the end credits of the film appeared on the big screen, no audience member left.

Watching the ending footage of Lin Yuan's films has become an established practice, and many viewers even feel that the fun is lost by half without watching the footage.

Because the behind-the-scenes footage at the end of the film serves to explain the puzzle-making process.

Many of the audience's questions can be answered after watching the behind-the-scenes footage.

For example:
How was Lin Yuan's stair climbing scene filmed? What dangers did he encounter during the process?
Was it really an accident that the mask shattered during the plane jumping scene?

Lin Yuan's body passed through the thunderstorm cloud and seemed to be seriously injured. What happened to him?

……

If the audience went home with so many questions, they would definitely not be able to sleep well tonight. So, in the audience's anticipation, the production credits rolled quickly.

The dark screen lit up again, and Meng Tao's fat and mean face appeared on the big screen again.

As soon as his face appeared, all the audience burst into good-natured laughter.

On the one hand, it is because Meng Tao is an old acquaintance, and everyone is used to him taking everyone to watch the behind-the-scenes footage. If Meng Tao disappears one day, everyone will feel very uncomfortable.

On the other hand, it is also because Meng Tao's face is a likable and non-aggressive face.

Meng Tao's ancestral home is Sichuan Province, where there are quite a lot of people who look like him.

Although he is a martial arts instructor, he is fair and chubby and likes to wear glasses, which makes him look cute and likable.

Meng Tao on the big screen bowed to everyone and said:

"Long time no see, my dear fans and friends, I missed you so much!"

The audience immediately started to complain:
"Get lost! We don't miss you at all!"

"You're thinking of our wallets, aren't you?"

"We're not familiar with each other! We really aren't familiar with each other! Adults should have a sense of propriety!"

The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and it must be said that this was also Meng Tao's talent.

Meng Tao smiled and said, "I know what you care about and what you want to see. Don't worry, I will satisfy your curiosity one by one."

"Then let's start with the first question. I'm sure you're curious about how the scene with Lin Yuan climbing the stairs was filmed, right?"

“Let’s go back to the day of filming!”

Then the screen switched immediately.

Outside the Burj Khalifa, Meng Tao was in the computer room on the 156th floor. There was a dummy model next to him with a safety rope tied around his body.

"Drop distance 12 meters, dummy weight 83 kilograms, wind speed level 7: 14 meters per second. First test begins!"

Following Meng Tao's command, the dummy fell from a high altitude.

"Boom!"

The safety rope was immediately tightened, and the hanging dummy hit the glass on the floor below with a loud noise!
Meng Tao frowned and said to the camera, "It's not that there's no danger just because you're wearing a safety rope. In fact, the huge disturbance of the wind is the biggest danger. I believe the safe wind speed must be within 14 meters per second. But on the day of the filming..."

Then the scene immediately switched, and the wind speed tester in Meng Tao's hand on the day of the shooting was clearly displayed in front of the audience: 24 meters per second.

This means that the wind speed has increased from level 7 gale to level 9 gale, and the danger has increased by more than two levels.

"But Lin Yuan still insisted on filming as planned. To be honest, I was really worried," said Meng Tao.

"But he is the boss, I'm just an employee, he has the final say." Meng Tao spread his hands helplessly.

The screen switches again.

All the audience at the scene saw the scene where Lin Yuan failed to grab the aluminum alloy window for the first time and was blown away by the strong wind.

"So this wasn't a planned move? It was an accident!" An audience member immediately understood.

"It was Lin Yuan who used his improvisation and superb skills to turn this accident into an even more exciting stage!"

"What would have happened if he hadn't reacted?" asked a viewer.

Meng Tao on the big screen seemed to have guessed what the audience was thinking, and he said in this way:

"Lin Yuan fell a distance of 24 meters, equivalent to the height of an eight-story building. Even with a safety rope, the huge impact of the fall would instantly exert a huge pulling force on his body!
He would be injured and lose his ability to react for a moment, so he might hit his head against the glass.

There might not be any danger to life, but the risk of bleeding or disfigurement is hard to say."
