Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 295: Word of mouth explodes, soaring to the sky

Lin Yuan didn't expect that the audience would react like this?

He simply didn't want the audience to worry about him, so he added a video of himself recovering quickly in the behind-the-scenes footage, but the result was completely the opposite.

The audience thought that he had concealed the injury out of kindness and deceived them in good faith.

This actually won more love from the audience...

At this time, the audience in the theater were saying:

"I can't let Lin Yuan get hurt in vain. I will support this movie with all my heart!"

"I will be a fan of Lin Yuan for life. Even if he makes a bad movie in the future, I will still support him without hesitation!"

"What are you talking about later? I've decided to watch this movie for the fifth time now!"

"I'm going to cause trouble at the cinema after the show. Why doesn't such a good film get a higher screening rate?"

"Agreed! Let's go together! Overthrow the shady cinema that operates behind closed doors!"

Lin Yuan felt a little helpless. Sometimes things in this world would backfire and be out of control.

Fortunately, the result of this misunderstanding was good, so he didn't say anything more.

The more he explains, the more the audience will think he is hiding his injury, so it’s better to just do nothing.

Hey~
Ultimately, it was because Lin Yuan's physique was so strong that it was beyond people's imagination.

I thought the behind-the-scenes footage was over, but the big screen lit up again.

This time it was Tyson who stood in front of the audience: "I also want to share a happy thing with you."

"You all know that I once had a duel with Lin Yuan, and I couldn't even block a single kick from him. I believe this, and you won't perform worse than me, so in front of Lin Yuan, we are on the same level."

"Hahahaha! Well said, that's indeed the case!" an audience member shouted with laughter.

"So, I'm as strong as Tyson? At least that's the case when facing Lin Yuan." Another spectator said.

As Tyson revealed his scar, the atmosphere on the field became cheerful again, sweeping away the depression when he was worried about Lin Yuan's injury.

Tyson smiled and said, "I have always hoped to have a fight with Lin Yuan on equal terms, with both sides going back and forth. But I know that no matter how hard I train, this is impossible, except in a dream."

“But when I was filming The King of Spy, my dream actually came true!”

"Did you know? During the duel scene, I punched Lin Yuan in the face three times! Every time my fist touched Lin Yuan's face, the feeling was even more exciting than the first time I touched a woman's vagina (beep, mute)!"

"I'm so happy! Thanks for the movie!"

"I'll tell you something in secret. You must keep it a secret for me. I secretly printed out a few photos of me punching Lin Yuan and hung them above my bed."

"From now on, even if I get married, I'd rather not hang wedding photos at home than hang this most glorious photo!"

The audience burst into laughter again.

Everyone finds Tyson's method of spiritual victory funny and ridiculous, but at the same time, they feel an inexplicable sense of empathy.

After all, as Tyson said, if it weren't for the movie, who else in the world would have the honor of feeling the punch hitting Lin Yuan's face?

This kind of strong sense of spiritual satisfaction might really be more ecstatic than touching... right?

When Tyson's behind-the-scenes footage was finished, the whole movie was truly over. It was already past 2 a.m., but everyone felt that they had not yet finished and were very excited.

If movie tickets weren't so hard to buy, everyone would probably buy them right away for a second viewing.

Lin Yuan also quietly took Liu Yufei's hand, left the sparsely crowded area, and returned to their residence in Beverly Hills.

……

……

Seven days later, in Beverly Hills, in Lin Yuan's study.

Mr. Eisen, Director Cohen and Lin Yuan sat facing each other.

The two old men were smiling from ear to ear.

"I knew the word of mouth would be so good, but I didn't expect it to be this good," director Cohen exclaimed.

"Congratulations, Director Cohen. From now on, you will be a top-tier director in Hollywood." Mr. Eisen said with a smile.

"What kind of great director am I? I'm far behind those old guys like Spielberg and Cameron. My only advantage is that I have some self-knowledge. The success of "King of Spy" was achieved by Lin Yuan with his life, and I'm just a lucky guy who got a ride on it." Director Cohen sighed.

Before filming "King of Spy", director Coen had just experienced the failure of "xXx" and lost the right to direct the sequel to "Fast & Furious" which he had created. It can be said that he was at the lowest point in his career.

If Lin Yuan hadn't helped him, he might have retired and returned to his hometown to enjoy his retirement.

Unexpectedly, my career has experienced a second spring.

On the coffee table was the latest issue of Time magazine, with Lin Yuan and director Cohen on the cover.

In fact, it was Lin Yuan who was originally invited by Time magazine, but Lin Yuan brought director Cohen along. After all, he was on the cover of the magazine because of the popularity of "The King's Avatar", and it would be too embarrassing to leave the director aside.

This is Lin Yuan's fourth time on the cover of Time magazine.

Last year, Lin Yuan appeared on the cover of Time twice. At the beginning of this year, he appeared on the cover for the third time as Time magazine's 2002 Person of the Year.

After all, in the past 2002, Lin Yuan was really popular.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" won the global box office championship, the football incident became popular across the United States, and he was undisputedly named Person of the Year in 2002.

According to internal information from Time Warner, Lin Yuan will still be the Person of the Year in 2003 if nothing unexpected happens!

If he does achieve this, he will be the first person to win the Person of the Year award back-to-back times.

It's no wonder that Time magazine is so eager to make an internal decision. In the past week, with the hit of "The King of Spy", Lin Yuan's popularity has skyrocketed, even exceeding his popularity during last year's football game.

In "The King of Spy", Lin Yuan conquered everyone in a way that was far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Major mainstream media outlets have given it the highest praise, with praise overflowing from the pages:

"This is a great film. I believe that in 50 or 100 years, countless people will continue to admire this work. It is the common spiritual wealth of all mankind, and Lin Yuan, who created this film, will surely become immortal with his film." - Review from The New York Times.

"When it comes to action movies, many people often think of them as empty popcorn flicks that, beyond satisfying visual stimulation, never touch the depths of our souls. But Lin Yuan uses his actions to tell the world that it's just that you haven't done enough!

When he fell from the Burj Khalifa against a raging wind, when he leaped unprotected from a height of 10,000 meters, the Olympic spirit of higher, faster, stronger shone through him. This is a legend for all of humanity!" — The Washington Post.

"I believe that everyone who has watched 'The King of Spy' has only one feeling for Lin Yuan: admiration! He represents humanity's most fearless courage. He has expanded the limits of humanity and demonstrated to the world the infinite possibilities of humanity!"
If you haven't seen King of Spy, you should go to the theater right now, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life." - Los Angeles Times
