Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 409: Our Separate Time (Part )
After visiting Mukesh Ambani's mansion and finalizing the cooperation agreement, Betty's trip to India came to a perfect end.

Lin Yuan will have to stay in India for a short while, so Betty takes Amaya back to New York first. The heart surgery cannot be delayed, and the sooner it is completed, the more at ease.

When Lin Yuan sent the two of them to the airport, Amaya kept holding his hand.

After watching Betty's edited version of the video of her enemy's fate, Amaya has regarded Lin Yuan as her spiritual support and is particularly dependent on him.

Lin Yuan smiled and touched her head and said, "Go to New York with Sister Betty. When you recover, I will come to the hospital to see you."

"Keep your word. Let's make a pinky promise." Little Amaya stretched out her hand.

The two extended their hands and shook hands. Amaya said seriously, "I will take good care of myself. After I recover, I will study hard and grow. In the future, I will definitely come back here to help the children like me in the slums."

At her most desperate moment, Lin Yuan's appearance was like a ray of light shining through the dark clouds, illuminating and changing her life.

But Amaya also knows that there are countless poor children like her in the Dharavi slums, in India, and around the world.

They also hope to change their destiny and live a better life.

Amaya is determined to use her own strength to help children who are suffering like herself in the future.

This was the life goal Amaya set for herself after her mother passed away.

"Come on! I believe you will do great in the future, but now we have to cure your illness first." Lin Yuan touched her head again, then walked towards Betty.

The two hugged each other, and Betty whispered in his ear: "I will never forget these days in India. You changed me. I am very happy to walk side by side with you."

Lin Yuan hugged her tightly: "Remember your original intention, never be a slave to money, and we can always move forward together."

Betty replied, "In addition to the path of capital, we also have the path of swordsmanship."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Go back and practice kendo well. Aren't you going to participate in the competition next year? There are only less than five months left."

"I'll try my best and wait for you to come back and give me private lessons. Let's go, see you in New York." Betty waved goodbye.

After seeing Betty and Amaya off, Lin Yuan began to deal with the remaining matters in India on his own.

First there was a press conference.

As the world's most commercially valuable film and television star, Lin Yuan's trip to India was exposed and he was certainly warmly welcomed by both the government and the public.

Therefore, Lin Yuan held a press conference to answer various curious questions raised by Indian media.

The topics covered his movies, martial arts, emotions and his feelings about visiting India.

When the media learned that Lin Yuan was living in the Dharavi slum, all the reporters present couldn't help but applaud him crazily.

A world superstar and super rich man can actually put aside his airs and live in a slum without any disgust to experience life.

This shows that he is a person who is free from vulgarity and lives a free and easy life.

Such qualities may not be uncommon in ordinary people, but in a rich person, it is an extremely valuable quality and worth boasting about.

The Indian media spared no words of praise and used the most exaggerated reports to praise Lin Yuan.

The perfect ending of this press conference helped Lin Yuan gain many new loyal fans in the Indian market.

After the press conference, Lin Yuan took advantage of the popularity and helped Mukesh Ambani shoot a short story.

This is a Hindi short film, mainly used to discredit Anil Ambani in India.

As soon as the film was broadcast, public opinion across India immediately sided with Mukesh Ambani.

His younger brother Anil Ambani has become a complete villain.

Many people took advantage of the night to run to the outer wall of his mansion and throw feces and urine.

There's even a popular saying among the people: "Don't be too Anil!"

All this made Anil Ambani miserable, and he finally had to accept his brother's property division plan as soon as possible to put an end to this inheritance battle.

Mukesh Ambani also saw Lin Yuan's strong appeal in this war of public opinion.

In his heart, he silently raised the importance of Lin Yuan several levels, telling himself to try his best to maintain the alliance relationship and not to give up Lin Yuan easily for a little profit.

……

……

It was already early December. After finishing his trip to India, Lin Yuan did not return directly to New York, but came to Tokyo first.

He was worried about keeping the youth potion on him for a long time, so he had to give it to GAKKI-chan as soon as possible.

GAKKI-chan, who took the youth potion (Type A), just treated it as an ordinary bottle of sweet syrup.

She is the youngest girl who has an intimate relationship with Lin Yuan, and she cannot feel any specific effects at this time.

In her previous life, her high level of beauty basically lasted until around 2020, and this life will go straight to 2030.

In the past few months, in addition to completing the filming of two movies, GAKKI has focused most of her energy on performing her duties as a Sony director and assisting three swordsmen in the preparations for the World's Second Kendo Tournament.

After the training in these jobs, she grew rapidly, so much so that when Lin Yuan saw her, he immediately felt that she had changed a lot. She had become much more intellectual and had a kind of tranquil beauty.

In fact, during the last discussion on the operational plan for the Second World Kendo Tournament, she had already initially demonstrated her business talent, which impressed Lin Yuan.

After half a year of training, I can now slowly become independent.

So, Lin Yuan gave her the task that he had originally planned to complete himself.

That is the capital operation of increasing Sony's capital and obtaining more equity.

The last time he came to Tokyo, Lin Yuan spent US$5 million to acquire a 3% stake in Sony.

This time he is prepared to spend another $3 million to acquire 1.99% of the shares.

As long as his shareholding ratio does not exceed 5%, he does not need to raise the placard for public announcement. This is the circle Lin Yuan drew for himself.

Sony's shareholding ratio is the limit.

Sony's uniqueness determines that Lin Yuan is not suitable to pursue higher equity, otherwise the company will lose its global nature and will find it difficult to better enter markets around the world.

Therefore, after the equity ratio reaches its limit, Lin Yuan needs to obtain more support from shareholders. By becoming their interest representative and forming a joint action group, he can gradually erode Sony and ultimately gain control.

After finishing all this, Lin Yuan took a flight back to New York.

……

……

"I am not the kind of girl, who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion."

(I'm not the type of girl to barge into a church at a wedding.)
"But you are not the kind of boy, who should be marrying the wrong girl."

(But you're not the kind of boy who has to marry the wrong person.)
Taylor Swift is holding a guitar and singing softly.

Beautiful melody flows out along with her pleasant voice.

"I lose myself in a daydream, Where I stand and say: Don't say yes, run away now."

(I was so caught up in the fantasy of our happy ending that I couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Don't say 'I do' and get out of here with me now!")

"I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door."

(I'll be waiting for you at the back door when you escape the church)
At this point, she stopped strumming the guitar, looked at the female recording engineer in the studio and asked, "How about this song? I'm planning to use it as the title song for my third album."

The female recording engineer smiled and replied, "It's a very smooth melody, and very beautiful. I believe it will be a song as popular as "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me." By the way, what's the name of your new album? You haven't told me yet."

"'Speak now', if you love, say it now," Taylor said.

"You wrote this song with Lin Yuan in mind, right?" the female recording engineer asked with a smile.

"How do you know? Is my mind so easy to guess?" Taylor asked.

"Of course! It's written all over her face. A little girl fantasizing about the man she loves marrying another woman.

You feel that they are not suitable for each other and you want to go to the church to grab the wedding, but you are afraid that doing so will appear rude.

So you hope that the man will say "I don't want to" and run out of the wedding conversation, while you hide at the back door waiting for him to elope together.

Isn't it easy to guess who this story is about?" the female sound engineer replied.

"When I first wrote this song, I felt great when I imagined this happening. But now I don't like this song very much." Taylor was a little depressed.

The female sound engineer came forward and hugged her. "What's wrong? I think this song is great. The melody is great, and the lyrics are cool. It's sure to resonate with young girls. It's a song that touches people's hearts."

The female recording engineer was right. Basically, the mainstream expression of American girl songs is: Don't look at that bitch! She's just an empty-headed vase, she's not worthy of you, we are a match made in heaven.

This tactic has always worked and has been tested throughout history because, to some extent, it appeals to the competitive nature of women.

Girls helping Girls, that is when there is no conflict of interest.

But once the competition for men begins, female competitiveness is engraved in women's genes.

Therefore, Taylor's song "Speak Now" will definitely become a hit single and sweep the music scene again.

But, she said she didn’t like this song a little bit?

Taylor replied: "Because I know she's not that superficial girl, she's beautiful and they're a good match.

I couldn't write Lin Yuan in my song as a bastard who married an unsuitable woman and ran away from the wedding like a coward.

Maybe other girls would enjoy such fantasies, but I feel uncomfortable fantasizing about Lin Yuan like this.”

"You are such a poor kid. You really love Lin Yuan to death. You can't bear to discredit him in any way. You even think his girlfriend is perfect too. Otherwise, how could she be chosen by the perfect Lin Yuan?" The female recording engineer hugged Taylor and comforted him.

"But I understand you. If I were your age, I wouldn't be able to resist Lin Yuan's charm either." The female recording engineer continued to comfort her.

"So I decided that I needed to revise the lyrics of this song. I didn't start recording the album until I was satisfied with the changes," Taylor said.

"As long as you are happy, we still have plenty of time to slowly prepare your third album." The female recording engineer replied.

"Okay! That's settled. I'm going out now," said Taylor.

"Are you going to see Mr. Eisen again?" asked the female sound engineer.

"Yes! I want to take over his resources as soon as possible so that I can become Lin Yuan's powerful helper. Recently, there is a woman named Betty next to Lin Yuan. She is also very beautiful and rich. This makes me feel very threatened." Taylor said.

The dance at Adams Manor gave Taylor a strong sense of crisis.

Although Lin Yuan chose her first, which made her very happy, Taylor's personality always kept the initiative in her own hands.

Only when she becomes stronger will she have more initiative.

Therefore, Taylor's biggest goal at this time was to study with Mr. Eisen while completing the recording of his third album as soon as possible.

Every day of hers is fulfilling and full of hope.

……

"Yuanyuan, what are you thinking about?" Jia Jingwen appeared behind Gao Yuanyuan and patted her gently.

"You scared me! I wasn't thinking about anyone." Gao Yuanyuan said with a red face.

After their collaboration on "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", the two have a very good relationship and can tell each other anything privately.

At this time, Jia Jingwen was teasing Gao Yuanyuan.

"You're blushing so much and you still say no. You must be thinking about men, right?" Jia Jingwen asked with a sly smile.

"No!"

"I guess you are thinking of a man who is 1 meters tall, handsome, and has extraordinary skills." Jia Jingwen said.

"I'm not thinking about Lin Yuan!" Gao Yuanyuan protested.

"Did I tell you about him? You're just confessing yourself!" Jia Jingwen teased.

Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes. "Now that you've been so specific, who wouldn't know you're referring to him? He's my boss!"

After the last Oscars, Gao Yuanyuan signed with Lin Yuan’s agency, so Lin Yuan is her boss.

"Boss? I've only heard of bosses giving money and bonuses to employees, but I've never heard of employees spending all their savings and even having to borrow money from their bosses to buy watches." Jia Jingwen continued to tease.

"I shouldn't have asked you to borrow money if I had known. I just wanted to express my gratitude for his help to me." Gao Yuanyuan explained with a blushing face.

As to whether she really thought so in her heart, only the person involved knows.

Jia Jingwen would not let her go easily, and continued with a smile: "Thank you? I think he would be happier if you climbed into his bed to thank him! If I were him, I would ask you to marry me! Come on, tell me, have you slept with me?"

"No way! Lin Yuan never makes unreasonable demands on his female artists." Gao Yuanyuan retorted.

In fact, Jia Jingwen was just joking, but Gao Yuanyuan instinctively didn't like her describing Lin Yuan as too shameless and lustful.

"Why do you seem a little disappointed?"

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan's unhappy expression, Jia Jingwen changed the subject: "Actually, I envy you for being able to sign a contract with Linyuan Film Company.

Not only are the resources good, but I don't have to deal with those nasty things. My agent wants me to drink with those old men all day long, saying how else can I get resources?
But if all he needs is me drinking with him, then why do I need him?"

Jia Jingwen, who was full of dissatisfaction, couldn't help but complain.

Hearing her words, Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said, "How about you also sign a contract with our company? I can ask for you?"

"Is it really possible? Don't just tease me!" Jia Jingwen asked in surprise.

"Of course I'm not lying to you. I want to help you both publicly and privately. After The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber became a hit, it was also a selling point for us to be tied together. I'll sign you into the company as well, and then we can team up to shoot a few TV series and movies, which will definitely help the company make a lot of money." Gao Yuanyuan said.

"Sad~ Your original intention is to help men make money instead of helping your bestie out of her misery. Sisterhood weighs a thousand pounds, but it can't compare to the two pounds under a man's crotch." Jia Jingwen said.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh~ What kind of lewd words are you talking about?" Gao Yuanyuan slapped her.

Jia Jingwen hugged Gao Yuanyuan and said, "Face your heart and give up unnecessary reserve, so that you won't regret it in the future."

"Learn to create opportunities for yourself. I tell you, you can do it this way..." Jia Jingwen whispered in Gao Yuanyuan's ear.

It seems really feasible!

Gao Yuanyuan's eyes lit up.

……

……

"Cut!"

With the completion of the last scene, the entire filming of "Brokeback Mountain" officially ended.

"Oh!"

Celebratory hand-held fireworks exploded above the heads of the creative team.

The crew members pushed out the food cart that had been prepared long ago, which contained champagne and various delicacies.

"Annie, great job. It's a pleasure to work with you this time," said director Ang Lee with a smile.

"It's my honor to be able to star in such an excellent movie." Anne Hathaway replied modestly.

"Leave these polite words to outsiders, we are truly our own people," said director Ang Lee.

Annie nodded, she knew that Director Ang Lee was right.

The common bond between them is a man - Lin Yuan.

Because of Lin Yuan's existence, they became true family members.

"Lin Yuan is getting busier and busier now, flying all over the world all day long. It's not easy to see him. Please take good care of him and me." Director Ang Lee said.

"Me? But I haven't seen him for a long time." Anne Hathaway said.

Unlike Lin Yuan’s other confidantes, Annie puts her career first.

Although Annie loves Lin Yuan very much, she will not give up her acting career for Lin Yuan.

Anne will insist on going on her own journey, following the route she set for herself as a child, and keep moving forward.

Her fate with Lin Yuan intersected at some special points, but they would never be entangled for a long time.

They both have their own paths to follow and are not bound by each other.

This was something she and Lin Yuan had made very clear when they were on Phi Phi Island.

Director Ang Lee discerned the underlying meaning from Annie's answer.

So he asked, “Is it worth it?”

"Of course! The beauty of life is not just the love between men and women. Even if he is Lin Yuan, he can't make me give up moving forward." Annie said with a smile.
