Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 439: Success in the First Challenge of A-Level Difficulty

From the moment Lin Yuan jumped into the Yellow River, the entire crew began to pay close attention to his safety.

When Lin Yuan was swept by the surging Yellow River water and fell heavily into the river from above the waterfall, all the people present held their breath and the scene was dead silent.

This scene is too shocking. Is this really a situation that humans can face?

In this turbulent and rolling world, like the roar of a giant yellow dragon, everyone felt that they were as small as an ant and could not resist such a mighty force of nature.

Meng Tao stared intently at the white figure spinning back and forth in the rapids in the river, his expression very solemn.

Although Meng Tao had accompanied Lin Yuan in many adaptive training sessions, he was still very worried when the shooting started.

Because the danger of today's actual shooting is several levels higher than during training.

There was no falling down the waterfall during training, and the water flow was not nearly as high as it is today.

This may lead to unpredictable and fatal threats.

It was not until Lin Yuan in white clothes reappeared in front of everyone and began to paddle and splash in the water that everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The river water was like a roaring beast, trying to swallow him again and again. Lin Yuan fought against the waves. Without a boat, his body became the strongest boat.

His hands cut through the water, creating layers of yellow waves. Every time he entered the water, there was a sound of splashing water.

His muscles were tensed in the water, and with each powerful stroke and retraction, he was fighting tenaciously against the yellow dragon. This was the most indomitable courage of the tiny human being in the face of nature.

Lin Yuan's face wore a resolute yet calm expression, his eyes reflecting the flowing water and an unyielding light. In his struggle against the rapids, he exuded a wild vitality.

"It's amazing. When I saw this scene, I knew that this movie would be a success." Director Nolan couldn't help but say.

"When Lin Yuan is making a movie, his only enemy is always himself. As long as he successfully challenges his own limits, there is no possibility of failure." Meng Tao replied.

"Is he going to succeed again this time?" Director Nolan asked, pointing at Lin Yuan who was swimming to the rock wall.

Seeing Lin Yuan approaching the rock wall by the river and about to complete this thrilling performance, everyone couldn't help but cheer and applaud for him.

The next moment, everyone clearly saw him hit his head heavily against the rock wall and rolled backward with a bleeding head.

This was already extremely worrying, but the next scene made everyone's heart tighten.

Lin Yuan, dressed in white, was spinning rapidly in the river. After a few turns, he completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

Everyone stared at the surging river water and did not see Lin Yuan for a long time.

At this moment, everyone began to panic:
"Where's Lin Yuan? Why is he nowhere to be seen?"

"Was that a whirlpool just now? Was he sucked to the bottom of the river by the whirlpool?"

"Nothing will happen, right? What should I do?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Meng Tao and Liu Yufei, and even director Nolan's hands began to tremble.

The worst possible outcome flashed through everyone’s mind: What if something really happened to Lin Yuan?
In the past few years, Lin Yuan has filmed so many movies and challenged various dangerous action scenes more than a dozen times.

Although every time in the process was extremely thrilling, it was completed smoothly without any danger every time.

After Lin Yuan repeatedly created miracles, everyone has developed a blind trust in him, which can be said to be an unreasonable worship.

Deep down, no one thought that Lin Yuan would actually fail.

But today everything is different. Lin Yuan is missing and his life or death is unknown.

There seemed to be a void in everyone's heart.

Panic, fear, worry, confusion...all kinds of emotions mixed together and hung over the entire crew.

Some female staff members couldn't help sobbing silently.

The faces of the male staff members were as gloomy as dark clouds, and they looked extremely ugly.

Gao Yuanyuan hugged Liu Yufei with red eyes, anxiously not knowing what to do.

"Trust Lin Yuan, he will be fine."

At this time, Liu Yufei spoke.

"Keep the cameras rolling. Don't let him risk his life to complete the action scene, and the final result will be unsatisfactory. Everyone, return to your work immediately and do your job well."

"Meng Tao, notify the rescue boats downstream and act according to the plan. However, I don't think it will be necessary. Lin Yuan will definitely be able to overcome the danger on his own."

Meng Tao looked at Liu Yufei in surprise.

At this moment, she should be the most worried one among everyone present.

But she was calmer than anyone else.

He also trusts Lin Yuan more than anyone else.

When Meng Tao was already wavering and worried about whether Lin Yuan was really in trouble, Liu Yufei stood up and told everyone with certainty: Just stick to your own post, and for the rest, just absolutely trust Lin Yuan.

Although everyone was still worried, Liu Yufei's words were like a shot in the arm, making everyone less panicked.

The entire crew's eyes were fixed on the turbulent Yellow River.

Suddenly, Gao Yuanyuan pointed to a white dot more than 30 meters downstream and shouted in surprise, "Everyone, look there!"

Everyone looked in the direction Gao Yuanyuan pointed...

……

……

The huge force of the water flow carried Lin Yuan in a continuous high-speed rotation, rolling towards the bottom of the river.

At this moment, he deeply felt how insignificant an individual is in the face of the power of nature.

In the rapid rotation, Lin Yuan felt as if his brain was being turned into a paste.

Dizzy, his biggest feeling at this moment was vertigo.

This kind of dizziness is extremely unbearable, like motion sickness, dizziness when having a fever, spinning rapidly in place, and other dizziness feelings combined together.

The thoughts in the brain seemed to be disrupted.

If it were an ordinary person, the only possibility at this time would be that he would pass out and then drown.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan has "master-level time management".

This allowed him to keep a little clarity in his mind and think about how to escape the current desperate situation.

Facing a whirlpool, it is impossible to swim out by brute force.

The so-called effort to break free by following the direction of the vortex's rotation is also impossible.

The only way to escape is to let the whirlpool throw you out.

This is impossible in the upper middle part of the vortex because the suction is too strong.

But the vortex is funnel-shaped, and the smaller the rotation circle becomes, the lower it gets to the bottom.

The closer to the bottom, the faster the speed and the greater the centrifugal force.

As long as Lin Yuan can reach the bottom of the vortex, at that position, the vortex will no longer be able to hold him, and he will be thrown out with tremendous speed and force.

So Lin Yuan held his breath tightly to prevent the river water from entering his nasal cavity.

He laid his entire body flat while keeping it tense to avoid straining his muscles.

As he continued to spin downward, Lin Yuan clearly felt that he was accelerating and the force pushing him outward was getting stronger.

He remained calm and waited silently for the best opportunity to come.

This is the time!

Lin Yuan, who was at the bottom of the whirlpool, was thrown out violently.

Break free!
Finally getting rid of the deadly entanglement of the whirlpool, Lin Yuan felt ecstatic in his heart.

But he did not swim to the surface immediately.

Because right above him was a vertical vortex of water rolling up and down.

He didn't know how this strange water flow was formed. Maybe it was caused by the river water hitting the rock wall on the shore and bouncing back?
But this is not important. The key is that Lin Yuan has just escaped from the whirlpool and does not want to feel the clothes in the washing machine again.

The thought of that sour and pleasurable feeling of rolling up and down made his scalp tingle.

When Lin Yuan was swept to the bottom of the river, he was surprised to find that the water flow at the bottom of this section of the river seemed much more "gentle" than the turbulent water flow on the surface of the river.

So he simply swam along the riverbed to the other side and then surfaced.

After reaching the water surface, he grabbed the rock wall tightly and climbed up quickly.

Behind him, there was a burst of cheers and joy, which could not even be suppressed by the thunderous sound of Hukou Waterfall.

"Cut!"

When Lin Yuan climbed up the river bank, director Nolan shouted in ecstasy.

This transition from hell to heaven drove him crazy.

He and a group of staff rushed forward frantically and grabbed Lin Yuan.

Regardless of his wet clothes, everyone threw him into the air with all their might:
"The Source God is mighty!"

"The Source God is mighty!"

"The Source God is mighty!" Among this group of people, Director Nolan was the one who shouted the loudest.

He has always been a very calm and rational person.

But at this moment, Director Nolan just wanted to say: Screw the coolness! Screw the rationality! I just want to cheer for Lin Yuan to my heart's content! I just want to vent the passion in my heart!
This was his first time working with Lin Yuan on a film; previously, he had only seen the final film in the theater.

But when he worked with Lin Yuan, he immediately felt a sense of religious blind worship in the crew. He had previously thought that this was a kind of corporate culture?
But at this time, Director Nolan finally understood why everyone in Lin Yuan Film Company respected Lin Yuan like a god, and why everyone spontaneously did their job to the best of their ability.

The root of everything is the man who created miracles in front of me.

When your boss is always the first to rush in regardless of his own life, always able to create miracles and lead everyone to victory again and again, how can you not admire him?

Director Nolan recalled Lin Yuan’s words at this year’s Oscars:
"Isn't my courage the reason why you love me?"

At this moment, Director Nolan deeply agreed and felt the same way.

Lin Yuan said so and has always done so.

Director Nolan silently made up his mind that such a boss is worth following for a lifetime.

"He has a wound on his forehead, let's take care of it first!" Liu Yufei squeezed out of the crowd and shouted loudly.

At this moment, everyone remembered that Lin Yuan had hit his head on the rock wall and was bleeding during the filming just now.

So everyone quickly let him go.

A horizontal wound about four centimeters long was clearly visible on Lin Yuan's forehead. After being soaked in water, the edge of the wound turned white and slightly turned outward.

Fortunately, the wound is not deep and it should be fine after disinfection and a few stitches.

As for whether it would leave scars, Lin Yuan didn't care.

Gao Yuanyuan also squeezed through the crowd, holding disinfectant and cotton balls in her hands.

Although you need to go to the hospital for stitches, it is better to do the disinfection work as early as possible.

The Yellow River water, which is full of mud and sand, is definitely not clean. If it is not disinfected quickly, it will be very troublesome if the wound becomes infected.

Gao Yuanyuan took a few steps forward and was about to help Lin Yuan disinfect, but she noticed Liu Yufei standing beside her.

So she gently placed the medicine and cotton ball in Liu Yufei's hands: "You should do it."

After saying that, Gao Yuanyuan was about to step back.

But Liu Yufei stretched out her white jade hand, took Gao Yuanyuan's delicate wrist, and said with a smile: "Let's do it together."

"Huh?" Gao Yuanyuan was a little bit unbelievable.

Such an opportunity to have close contact with Lin Yuan can only belong to his real girlfriend. Doesn’t she mind going along?
"Can you help me? I'll be responsible for cleaning the wound and you will disinfect it." Liu Yufei said.

It was Liu Yufei herself who proposed this opportunity to get close to Lin Yuan.

Does she know my hidden feelings for Lin Yuan?

Is this hinting at something?

This association made Gao Yuanyuan's heart beat wildly.

It was not inferior to when Lin Yuan jumped into Hukou Waterfall just now.

Liu Yufei didn't wait for Gao Yuanyuan to reply. She knew Gao Yuanyuan would never refuse. Instead, she continued, "Please prepare some disinfectant and bandage gauze. I'll clean the wound first."

After saying that, Liu Yufei took a bath towel from the staff.

She put her hand directly on Lin Yuan's head and rubbed it hard.

You must first dry the wet water on your hair to prevent it from dripping onto the wound.

"It may be a little painful, just bear with it." Liu Yufei said softly.

Then she picked up the pure water at hand and gently poured it on the wound.

The water rushed through the wound, bringing out some extremely fine sand and mud.

It was 2004, and the sediment content in the Yellow River was still quite high.

After the first cleaning, Liu Yufei took out a cotton swab and carefully continued to remove the mud and sand that was tightly stuck to the wound and could not be directly washed away with water.

She was very careful in her movements, afraid of hurting Lin Yuan.

"It's okay, just try harder. I can bear this little pain." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

In the current situation, this was a very normal sentence, but Liu Yufei's face immediately turned red.

Because this is what she said to Lin Yuan on the first night in Dubai when filming "The King of Spy".

At this time, in front of everyone, Lin Yuan openly said this to tease himself?
Although no one understood, a strong sense of shame still crept into Liu Yufei's heart.

Don’t you really understand?

When a blush crept up Liu Yufei's fair cheeks, Gao Yuanyuan beside her seemed to immediately sense something.

Her eyes also became a little evasive.

Of course, Liu Yufei also saw this scene.

So she slapped Lin Yuan hard, and then continued to clean the wound.

The undercurrent between the two women in front of them was certainly not visible to the big men present, but it could not be hidden from Lin Yuan's eyes.

This made him start to think seriously about two questions:

What was Xixi thinking? Why did she give Gao Yuanyuan the opportunity to get close to her?

How should I face Gao Yuanyuan?

At this time, Liu Yufei had finished cleaning the wound and she made way.

Gao Yuanyuan used iron tweezers to pick up a cotton ball soaked in medicine and carefully pressed it on the wound.

In order to ensure that the medicine could completely penetrate into the wound, Gao Yuanyuan had to gently squeeze the cotton ball to allow more medicine to flow out.

"Does it hurt? I'll be gentler." Gao Yuanyuan said in a low voice.

Looking at the beautiful face before her, the sex scene when they first met, that night in the poplar forest, the gift that had drained all her savings...

These scenes appeared before Lin Yuan's eyes.

As if by some strange coincidence, Lin Yuan replied, "I'd rather die of pain."

"what?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan felt like a thunder exploded in her ears.

This sentence……

That's what she once said.

She will never forget that night when Lin Yuan held her feet with one hand and scooped up the cold river water with the other hand and poured it on her ankles.

No matter how cold the river water was, it could not extinguish the fire in her heart.

That fire has been burning from more than two years ago until today, and it has never been extinguished.

No man can enter her heart anymore.

Today, he said what he said that night. Was he trying to seduce me?

Gao Yuanyuan felt a little guilty. She avoided Liu Yufei's confused look, took out the prepared gauze, carefully bandaged Lin Yuan's forehead, and said:

"It's all fixed, but we still need to go to the hospital as soon as possible to further treat the wound."

"I have contacted the nearest hospital, let's go there now." Meng Tao said on the side.

"I'm going too."
Liu Yufei and Gao Yuanyuan said together.

"Then you guys go, I'll stay and continue shooting a few more shots," said Director Nolan.

In fact, Lin Yuan doesn't need anyone to accompany him, he can go to the hospital by himself.

It's just that out of concern, everyone wants to accompany him to the hospital for treatment.

Director Nolan chose not to join in the fun. He chose to shoot a few more shots now and edit them into the movie later to make the final effect better. This is what he should do.

If you miss today, and come back to shoot again later, the water volume, weather and other conditions will be different from now, and the effect will not be perfect.

Director Nolan once again returned to his work state of pursuing perfection.

The four people who went to the hospital drove away in a black Mercedes-Benz sedan.

Meng Tao was driving, and Gao Yuanyuan and Liu Yufei were sitting in the back seat.

Lin Yuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep due to being too exhausted from the scene just now.

No one disturbed Lin Yuan.

What they didn't know was that even though Lin Yuan had his eyes closed, a golden system text still appeared before his eyes.
