Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 363: Praise from the Media

Douglaston, New York.

In the study, Mr. Eisen smiled and threw a magazine to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan took it and took the "Time" magazine.

The cover features Lin Yuan and Depp.

Lin Yuan held a spear, while Depp held a sharp knife, and they faced each other. Lin Yuan's expression was cold and murderous, while Depp had a sly smile.

"You're on the cover of Time magazine again. How many times has this been?" Mr. Eisen said with a smile.

"I can't remember clearly because I went there so many times. Maybe it was the fifth time? Or the sixth time?" Lin Yuan replied.

"I heard that because you were on the cover, the sales of this issue of Time magazine increased by 40%. Just for this reason, they would probably let you appear on the cover if they had the chance. No wonder you don't take it seriously anymore." Mr. Eisen replied.

"That's about it. It's Depp's first time and he's very happy. He won't be able to do it again after a few more times... No, if I don't take him, he probably won't be able to go up on his own." Lin Yuan said this as if it was a matter of course.

"Hahahaha, you're really mean. By the way, you've been confirmed as this year's Time magazine Person of the Year. You're the first person to win the title twice in nearly thirty years.

This shows your unquestionable global influence in the past two years. You must have some feelings about this, right?" Mr. Eisen said.

"My feeling is that I should work hard and see if I can win the Person of the Year award again next year, making it three in a row. That would also be making history," said Lin Yuan.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's reply, Mr. Eisen rolled his eyes.

It is impossible for Time magazine to always give the Person of the Year award to the same person, otherwise other people will be dissatisfied if they don't get any benefits.

Therefore, it is exponentially more difficult for someone who has won the Person of the Year award to be elected again.

If it weren't for Lin Yuan being so dazzling this year, not only would he have created an astonishing box office record, but he would also have hosted the highly anticipated second-largest Kendo Tournament in the world, and he would have expanded his official influence in the capital field.

The combination of these three achievements finally led Time magazine to give Lin Yuan the Person of the Year title.

Because this year there is really no candidate as brilliant as him, and if we refuse to give it to Lin Yuan, it will also damage the authority.

But does Lin Yuan still want to retain the title next year?
So what kind of achievements does he want to make next year so that Time magazine will have no choice but to continue to award him the Person of the Year?
"Although you don't care much about it anymore, you should still open it and take a look. This issue of Time magazine has a very good evaluation of you and will help improve your personal image to a great extent," said Mr. Eisen.

Hearing what Mr. Eisen said, Lin Yuan curiously opened the magazine and started flipping through it.

"Who said that Lin Yuan would tyrannically suppress everyone's brilliance? And who said that Lin Yuan's rise would only block the path of others?"

"The success of 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest' proves that he not only won't stop others from shining, but can actually pave the way for their rise!"

"Doesn't the fact that Lin Yuan and Depp complement each other so well prove this point?"

"Isn't the mutual success between Lin Yuan and Disney also the best example?"

……

The entire report revolves around the win-win partnerships between Lin Yuan and his allies, discussing everything from Universal Pictures' "The Fast and the Furious" and "Jurassic Park 3" to Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" film series. Lin Yuan's co-stars range from Vin Diesel to Anne Henrietta and Johnny Depp.

In short, the purpose is to try to refute some previous views that Lin Yuan is too domineering, eats all the food for himself, and suppresses the development of others.

"I guess Betty helped me behind the scenes. Otherwise, although Warner Group would say a few good words about me, they would not work so hard to help me." Lin Yuan said.

Behind Time magazine is the Warner Group, and Morgan Stanley, where Betty works, is the largest institutional investor of the Warner Group at that time.

"Betty? When did you become so familiar with Miss Adams? You didn't really get her, did you?" Mr. Eisen asked.

"No, we're just friends. She likes kendo, so we communicate occasionally." Lin Yuan denied it.

The fact that Betty doesn't like men or women is her personal privacy.

It would certainly not be appropriate for Lin Yuan to give this reason in front of Mr. Eisen, so his denial seemed a bit far-fetched.

As expected, Mr. Eisen smiled and said, "Really? As far as I know, Miss Adams has never had such a good personal relationship with any man. She has been identified as the next generation leader of the Adams Family. Are you really not going to consider it? Fifty years less of hard work... that's ten years for you!"

"I already have Liu Yufei. She's the only one I'll marry in the future."

Hearing this reason, Mr. Eisen could only sigh and say, "That's nothing we can do. The eldest daughter of the Adams family can't be with you without knowing the reason. What a pity."

Mr. Eisen took out a few more newspapers and handed them to Lin Yuan, saying, "Take a look at these. The recent reviews from the mainstream media are all positive. People in this world always like to add icing on the cake, but rarely provide timely assistance."

Lin Yuan took the newspaper and saw that it was full of positive reviews:

"After 'King of Spy', Lin Yuan once again delivered a perfect performance. I don't believe anyone would fail to be moved if you saw him riding a shark in the cinema.

Thank you Lin Yuan for being born in this era, which gives us the privilege to continue to witness miracles." - Los Angeles Times

"In Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Lin Yuan debuted this fascinating and deadly weapon, the Chinese lance. In his hands, we see the lance truly live up to its title of king!
If you doubt this, think about whether you can beat a tiger shark in the ocean." - The Washington Post

"There's no doubt that the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film series has been a complete success. Disney should thank Lin Yuan for bringing such a lucrative return. But what's even more touching is that Lin Yuan never thought of using this to control Disney.

We can clearly see that with Lin Yuan's support, Johnny Depp's portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow is becoming increasingly popular. I hope Pirates of the Caribbean continues to be a success." — Chicago Times.

Several media outlets also mentioned his feud with the two film companies, taking a clear stand and criticizing the other side:

"Years later, when Mr. Mills (the owner of MGM) recalled his declining film career, he would undoubtedly remember the afternoon when he decided to target Lin Yuan." - Comment from The New York Times.

"puff!"

When Lin Yuan saw the report in the New York Times, he almost spit out water.

This is really old Marquez.
