Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 30 Traveling by Train

Not interested in money?

How thick-skinned must one be to act like this?

Vin Diesel complained in his mind, but he didn't know that this was just Lin Yuan's bad taste.

It was not until 2015 when the CCTV program "Let's Talk" did the real person have the opportunity to say this.

Although Lin Yuan said it jokingly, he is not rich enough now, so it does not seem Versailles at all to say it.

The effect is really bad!
He secretly made up his mind that he would find an opportunity to say it again in the future.

"What nonsense are you talking about! You're almost out of money, right?" Vin Diesel asked worriedly.

"No, my money is increasing. Director Ang Lee just gave me a big red envelope."

Previously, after the promotional video of Lin Yuan's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was played, director Ang Lee said he would give Lin Yuan a red envelope when he saw the surge in screenings.

As the box office revenue gradually came in, he also fulfilled his promise at the first opportunity.

A full 150 million US dollars!
To be honest, Lin Yuan was stunned when he got the money.

It’s not because he thinks it’s too little, but because director Ang Lee gave him too much.

Don’t underestimate the fact that the box office revenue of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" reached 2.4 million US dollars thanks to Lin Yuan’s support.

But it’s good enough for the producer to get 100 million, and the rest goes to the distributor and the cinema.

Director Ang Lee's salary was only $100 million, and with box office dividends it is estimated to be around $900 million.

It's really kind of him to give me such a large sum of money at once.

Lin Yuan earned 150 million US dollars in one go, plus the 200 million US dollars that Chen Long gave him during the trip to Hong Kong Island. Even if he was extravagant when buying gifts, the funds he had on hand exceeded 200 million US dollars.

The entertainment industry is indeed a world of fame and fortune, and being a star is really profitable!

Although Lin Yuan is not yet able to earn 208 million yuan a day, he should be able to barely reach the upper half of the level.

So, Lin Yuan’s money not only did not decrease, but increased instead.

"Okay, I won't go with you to deliver the last gift. You go by yourself." Vin Diesel raised his eyebrows and smiled, with a strong sense of sarcasm.

Indeed, the last gift was for Liu Yufei.

……

……

Grand Central Terminal is located in the heart of Manhattan, New York City.

这个火车站始建于1903年，1913年2月2日正式启用，已经有近90年历史了。

As a landmark building in New York, Grand Central Station still maintains its status as the world's largest railway station and remains standing even in 2024, when infrastructure construction on the west coast of the ocean has begun in full swing.

Lin Yuan strolled in the central hall of the station and looked at the tall dome. He couldn't help but sigh that it was a miracle that such a magnificent building could be built in the early last century.

Unfortunately, it was only yesterday’s glory.

Today's bald eagle does not have such infrastructure capabilities. Who makes playing with finance so fun?

There was a constant flow of people in the station hall. In the dense crowd, Lin Yuan saw the tall figure at a glance.

Liu Yufei, wearing a white short down jacket, had arrived first.

Lin Yuan walked forward with a smile: "Xixi, long time no see."

"You always say this. Fortunately, you don't follow it up with: I miss you so much." Liu Yufei wrinkled her nose, which was very cute.

"That was Teacher Feng's line. It's a pity I didn't go the comedian route. What a waste of talent."

"Talent?" The immortal was a little confused.

"Haven't you noticed that many comedy stars are very good-looking?"

Lin Yuan was not talking nonsense. Didn't he see that Stephen Chow, the comedy king of Hong Kong Island, and the two former military art school idols from mainland China, all had outstanding performances in comedy.

Funny-looking people certainly have an advantage in comedy, but a handsome guy with a sense of humor is the real king.

Because it not only brings joy to people, but is also likable and pleasing to the eye.

"You're getting more and more shameless by beating around the bush and praising yourself for being so handsome!"

Liu Yufei carefully stretched out her hand, and seeing that Lin Yuan had no intention of dodging, she gently pinched his face and pulled it.

This is what happens between men and women who have feelings for each other. They use certain contexts to cover up their shyness, and then touch each other in ways that make things more obvious, and they think they are being very clever.

"You're really thick-skinned! I wasn't wrong at all!"

Adding this sentence makes it even more superfluous.

"Am I really not handsome?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

"It was originally quite handsome, but it seems greasy when you say that. You know, being handsome without knowing it is the most handsome thing."

"If a man is truly handsome, how could he not know it? Isn't it hypocritical to pretend he doesn't know it when he's handsome?"

"You are really getting better at talking."

"But not many women like me."

After saying this, the two of them suddenly laughed together.

This is a tacit understanding that belongs only to them.

They hadn't seen each other for over twenty days. Lin Yuan stared at her again and again, and suddenly asked, "Huh? Have you grown taller?"

"Yeah, I've grown two centimeters. I'm 170cm tall now."

Lin Yuan nodded. She was still growing and would continue to grow taller. In his memory, Liu Yufei was 172cm tall, with fair skin, beautiful face and long legs.

"Have you grown taller too?" Liu Yufei and Lin Yuan compared themselves and found that the height difference between them had not narrowed.

"Yeah, I've grown two centimeters, just like you. I'm 185cm taller now."

In two months, Lin Yuan will be 19 years old, but he is still growing taller. In his previous life, he was 188 cm tall.

The two of them have the perfect height difference, they are truly a perfect match. Lin Yuan thought so in his heart, and he believed that Liu Yufei thought the same.

I saw that the green hills are more charming, and I expect that I should see you in Castle Peak.

"Let's go, the train is about to leave. It would be terrible if we miss it." Liu Yufei said.

"If we really miss it, we can buy the next one."

"Then there's no way to avoid my mom's checking up on me."

Mother Liu has returned to China again. She has been going back frequently recently to pave the way for Liu Yufei to return to China to take the entrance exam for Yanying Film Academy early next year.

Liu Yufei will be very busy in the next year.

Not only did she have to complete her studies, but she also had to prepare for the entrance exam to Yanying, as well as some basic acting courses.

Today's trip was also a time that the two of them squeezed out from their busy schedules.

They will take a train together from New York to Nashville, the capital of Tennessee, a journey of 2200 kilometers.

"Let's go, the Nashville Country Music Festival is waiting for me, I can't wait." Liu Yufei said.

If you are in such a hurry, why don’t you take a plane?

Lin Yuan was just complaining in his heart. How could he not understand the romance of the two of them taking a train together, traveling across the North American continent and seeing the scenery along the way?
You have to learn to slow down to enjoy things. Doing many things too quickly is not a good thing.

What is even more exciting is that the two will spend a night together on the train.

[Complete a date with any girl again and you will be rewarded with skills based on your performance! ]

The system reminds you again at a very timely moment.
