Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 440: Tianxian and Yuanyuan Showdown

Three golden system prompts appeared one after another, which surprised Lin Yuan.

When did the system become so generous?
Today's action scene of jumping over Hukou Waterfall brought him 25 attribute points at once.

Lin Yuan felt that he had never been so rich before, and seemed to be overwhelmed by happiness.

After obtaining so many attributes, the next step is definitely to consider how to distribute them.

In fact, there is no need to worry too much. There are currently two main distribution methods:

The first one is to replenish strength and physique to 25 points first.

Currently, his strength is 23 and his constitution is 22. These 25 points of free allocation attributes can just increase his strength and constitution to the upper limit of 25 points.

The advantage of doing this is that his three major attributes all reach 25 points. This kind of physical fitness without any shortcomings allows him to deal with various situations calmly.

The second method is naturally to give priority to agility of all attributes and increase agility to 30 points as soon as possible.

A long time ago, he had a premonition that after the attribute reached 30 points, there would be a magical qualitative change.

Therefore, giving priority to increasing agility can allow him to trigger qualitative changes as quickly as possible.

Although he doesn't know what this qualitative change means, the result will definitely satisfy him.

However, when the attributes increase from 25 points to 30 points, each attribute improvement requires an astonishing number of 15 free attributes.

It's easy to come to the conclusion: a total of 75 attribute points are needed. After deducting the current 25 attribute points, he still needs to complete 50 A-level action scenes and one B-level action scene for the remaining 3 attribute points.

Judging from today's A-level action scene, it is really not easy to do.

Let's take it one step at a time. Lin Yuan finally decided that it would be better to allocate attributes based on actual needs.

The black Mercedes-Benz sedan sped all the way to Pingyang People's Hospital.

Meng Tao had already contacted the hospital. The car drove directly to the back of the hospital and arrived at a secluded small building. The director and several medical staff had been waiting there for a long time.

"Welcome, Mr. Lin. Our hospital is honored to serve you." The dean, who looked to be in his early fifties, trotted forward and shook hands with Lin Yuan enthusiastically.

The smile on his face was too enthusiastic and seemed quite flattering.

"You are too polite. It is I who is bothering you." Lin Yuan replied politely.

Several medical staff behind the dean also wanted to step forward excitedly, but seemed to have some concerns and stood there at a loss.

Lin Yuan was not surprised by their behavior, because at this time he was already an absolute big shot.

Not to mention his international superstar fame, he is also one of the richest men in the country just looking at his wealth.

And he is not just an ordinary richest man. The combined wealth of the top five richest people in the country is not as great as his.

The fact that Pingyang People’s Hospital was able to treat Lin Yuan is definitely an honor that can be boasted about for a long time.

(Normally, the combination of an international superstar and a super-investor would have alerted local authorities, leading to a banquet hosted by key government officials. However, for reasons that are readily apparent, this section will be omitted.)
The doctor who treated Lin Yuan and provided stitches will surely gain a good reputation in the local area, and perhaps he can make a living from this resume for the rest of his life.

Lin Yuan could imagine that the doctor who was treating him today must be someone who received special care from the dean.

"I have heard Mr. Meng describe your injuries over the phone. Let our Doctor Li examine you again and then give you treatment," the dean introduced.

The surgeon, Dr. Li, smiled and walked forward to shake hands with Lin Yuan.

Then the other medical staff next to him came forward and shook hands with Lin Yuan one by one.

Everyone looked very excited and held Lin Yuan's hand for a long time, unwilling to let go.

After the two sides met, they soon came into a clinic.

Doctor Li carefully untied the gauze on Lin Yuan's head. He observed him carefully and said:
"It's no big deal. The open wound caused by the impact has been cleaned and disinfected. It'll just need some more disinfection and a few stitches."

"Doctor, will it leave scars?" Liu Yufei asked.

Hearing this question, Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing.

A small scar on a man is nothing, on the contrary it will add to his rugged and powerful temperament.

He didn't care about this, but he didn't expect Liu Yufei cared more about it than he did.

"Be careful when suturing. If you align the wound, even if there is a scar, it will be shallow. There is no need to worry about it affecting Mr. Lin's handsome face." Doctor Li replied.

"Really? That's great." Liu Yufei said happily.

"Don't worry. If I didn't have enough confidence, I wouldn't dare to thread needles on Mr. Lin's face. Otherwise, his face would be disfigured, and the fans would spit at me and drown me." Doctor Li replied with a smile.

After the diagnosis, the medical staff began to act skillfully.

In order not to put pressure on the doctor, everyone left the treatment room first, leaving Lin Yuan alone in the room.

Gao Yuanyuan and Liu Yufei looked at each other, and then walked to a secluded corner at the same time.

"You were amazing today. We were all shocked. We didn't expect you to be so calm." Gao Yuanyuan said.

What she was referring to was of course the incident when Lin Yuan was sucked underwater by a whirlpool and didn't emerge for a long time, causing the entire crew to panic.

Liu Yufei shook her head. "I'm just used to it. I used to be just like you guys, not much better."

Gao Yuanyuan asked, "Was it this dangerous before? I've seen the behind-the-scenes footage, but it's completely different from seeing it in person during the filming."

Liu Yufei sighed and said, "It wasn't this dangerous before, but it's getting more dangerous. It will probably be even more dangerous in the future."

She didn't know what ABCD-level action scenes were, but she could clearly feel that Lin Yuan's performance in the action scenes was becoming more and more amazing and dangerous.

In the past, it was just jumping cars and falling from high places.

Later on, things became more and more outrageous. Every challenge Lin Yuan took on was enough to make people break out in a cold sweat just by listening to the plan, let alone doing it themselves.

"Don't you want to persuade him? As his girlfriend, he should listen to what you say, right?" Gao Yuanyuan asked puzzledly.

"No, that's restricting him." Liu Yufei said, "Lin Yuan is not an ordinary person. He has the opportunity to become an immortal legend.

If he continues along this path, he will undoubtedly leave his mark on human history. Hundreds and thousands of years from now, people will still be discussing and admiring him.

How could I hold him back? I would just choose to trust him unconditionally."

"But what if something really happens to him?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

"That's his fate. If one day he really encounters an accident, he will die on the road to becoming a legend. I believe he will not have any regrets. As his girlfriend, I just choose to support him." Liu Yufei replied.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't expect Liu Yufei to have such an opinion.

But on second thought, it seems perfectly normal.

Lin Yuan is not an ordinary person, so the way she gets along with him is naturally not the sweet and loving way that ordinary couples do.

There are always some people in this world who are at the absolute top of the human pyramid and can create achievements far beyond ordinary people.

With normal people's thinking mode, it is impossible to understand their behavior patterns.

The same is true for Lin Yuan.

Such a top world billionaire has already achieved success and fame, while ordinary people only think about how to enjoy life.

But Lin Yuan still takes risks again and again. His goal is not to make money, but to become an immortal legend in human history.

The image of Lin Yuan jumping into the Yellow River today has been deeply engraved in Gao Yuanyuan's heart.

"What did you think when you saw him being swallowed by the river today?" Liu Yufei suddenly asked.

"At the time, I felt terrified and helpless, but otherwise completely numb. I didn't have any complex thoughts," Gao Yuanyuan continued. "But when I saw him climb back up the rock face, I suddenly felt a surge of emotion."

"What does that feel like?" Liu Yufei asked.

"I admire him from the bottom of my heart, I'm proud of him, I'm ecstatic to have him back, but I also have a hidden worry that my future may be in jeopardy." Gao Yuanyuan answered sincerely.

Facing Liu Yufei, she spoke out her true thoughts without reservation.

Although Gao Yuanyuan did not make some things clear, she believed that Liu Yufei could understand.

Admiration from the bottom of the heart naturally means love.

Being proud of him means loving him and loving everyone in him.

When you lose something and then find it again, you will inevitably fear losing it for real next time.

What would people do in such a precarious situation?

Of course, it is to cherish the present, enjoy life while it lasts, and leave no regrets.

Liu Yufei nodded and said, "Your idea is exactly the same as mine." "Huh?"

"So, whatever Lin Yuan wants, I hope he can get it. I don't want him to have any regrets. You don't have to consider my feelings, as long as you understand Lin Yuan's heart, that's enough."

After saying that, Liu Yufei turned and left, leaving Gao Yuanyuan alone, standing there in a daze.

What does she mean?
In fact, Gao Yuanyuan understood, but she didn't dare to believe it.

Is this telling me that she won't interfere with me getting close to Lin Yuan?

Gao Yuanyuan understood what Liu Yufei meant. As long as Lin Yuan chose to accept her, Liu Yufei would not have any objection.

The purpose of tonight's conversation was very clear from the very beginning.

Liu Yufei has been leading the conversation.

She told Gao Yuanyuan that Lin Yuan was not an ordinary person and that she should not look at him in a normal way.

Even though getting along with Lin Yuan may seem strange to outsiders, it is reasonable for Lin Yuan.

Because she is always worried about losing Lin Yuan, she hopes that Lin Yuan will not have any regrets. As long as it is something Lin Yuan wants, Liu Yufei hopes that Lin Yuan can get it.

Gao Yuanyuan fully understood this emotion.

The moment she saw Lin Yuan climbing up the rock wall, she was so ecstatic that she wanted to stuff everything she had into Lin Yuan's arms.

Gao Yuanyuan looked at Liu Yufei's receding back and remembered that just now on the river bank, she grabbed her hand and asked her to help treat Lin Yuan's wound.

She has been making her stance clear since then.

Is this the measure of being a wife?

At this point, Liu Yufei has cleared up the knot in her heart. Should she move forward?

"It hurts so much that I'm dying."

These words rang in her ears again.

Gao Yuanyuan felt like she was stuck in a quagmire. She had no strength to struggle and didn't want to struggle. She even felt a little excited.

……

……

World superstar Lin Yuan was injured during filming in Jinxi Province and is now fine after treatment.

Director Nolan held up a newspaper and placed it in front of Lin Yuan. "Didn't you make the hospital sign a confidentiality agreement? The news has leaked out. Do you know how popular this news is right now?"

Lin Yuan shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I acquiesced."

"Why? If we want to do pre-exposure in advance, it should be handed over to our publicity department for unified planning, instead of doing it in this way." Director Nolan asked in confusion.

"My injury is time-sensitive. If it is not exposed immediately, its news value will be reduced. I would like to take this opportunity to promote Hukou Waterfall, as the tourist season is about to begin," said Lin Yuan.

When filming the action scene of jumping over Hukou Waterfall, the relevant domestic departments were very kind to open the floodgates to release water, helping him to complete the scene better.

He also wanted to take advantage of his injury to return the favor and help promote Hukou Waterfall internationally.

When movie fans around the world see this news, they will definitely be curious about where Hukou Waterfall is and why Lin Yuan went there to film?
Is Hukou Falls dangerous? Lin Yuan was fine at Niagara Falls, but was injured at Hukou Falls.

As long as there is more international attention, Lin Yuan will achieve the effect of promoting Hukou Waterfall that he wants.

Director Nolan immediately understood Lin Yuan's idea. He smiled helplessly and said, "You really have a strong desire to promote Chinese landscape culture."

"As I should." Lin Yuan simply replied and didn't continue.

"Time is running out. Since you are fine, let's discuss the next scene," said director Nolan.

"If I'm not mistaken, we should be filming the polo scene at Jinyang Palace, right?" Lin Yuan replied.

"Yes, this scene is very difficult to shoot. The success or failure depends entirely on your performance." Director Nolan replied: "If possible, I really don't want to shoot this scene. It's too difficult to shoot. It's torture for the director."

"But you know the importance of this scene." Lin Yuan comforted.

"Of course, this scene cannot be missed. Not only must it be shot, but it must be shot well," Director Nolan replied.

Jinyang is today's Taiyuan City, the capital of Jinxi Province.

Jinyang Palace was a palace built by Gao Huan, a powerful official of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

During the confrontation between the Eastern and Western Wei dynasties, Gao Huan resided in Jinyang instead of the capital Yecheng.

Therefore, Jinyang Palace was built quite magnificently.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan was appointed as the governor of Taiyuan and the supervisor of Jinyang Palace, making Jinyang the birthplace of the Tang Empire.

The next scene was a polo match held in Jinyang Palace.

According to the order of the plot, this scene takes place before Lin Yuan goes to Chang'an to visit his relatives. It tells the story of a match that took place in Jinyang Palace, where Lin Yuan led the Hedong Army polo team and defeated the Turkic polo team.

Although it is just a football game, during the Tang Dynasty, polo was a top-level event that was far more popular than today's football.

Polo, also known as "jiju" or "hitting the ball", was born in the Han and Wei dynasties. It was originally intended to improve the combat capabilities of soldiers, and later gradually became a favorite sport among the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Among the twenty-one emperors of the Tang Dynasty, eleven were polo masters.

This is not just because polo is fun, but also because the military uses polo as a model of military training and adopts polo to improve the combat capabilities of cavalry and other arms.

Therefore, polo is a sport that demonstrates military strength.

Even some disputes between the Tang Dynasty and ethnic minorities in the border areas would be resolved by the outcome of polo matches.

That is, whoever wins the polo match will resolve the dispute in a way that benefits him or her.

In the third year of the Jinglong reign of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, Li Longji, then Prince of Linzi, led the Tang polo team of only four people against the Tibetan polo team of 4 people, and finally won a great victory.

This game not only declared the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty, but also effectively deterred Tubo.

During the Tang Dynasty, polo had developed into a super sports event loved by the whole nation and had military significance.

It is no less than today's World Cup and Super Bowl.

Therefore, this scene is also an extremely important scene in "The Heroes of Tang Dynasty".

When Lin Yuan was writing the script for The Heroes of Tang Dynasty, he simplified the story.

He didn't want to use a complicated and difficult-to-understand story to convey values, which would only reduce the entertainment value of the movie and ultimately lead to box office failure.

Although the script has been simplified, there are two aspects that should not be simplified but should be strengthened:
That is the wonderful action stunts scenes and the display of the splendor and magnificence of the Tang Dynasty.

I won’t say much about the action scenes. The cavalry battle on the grassland and jumping over the Hukou Waterfall both reflect this point. There will be several more exciting scenes afterwards.

To show the splendor and magnificence of the Tang Dynasty, he filmed the bustling border town of Yunzhou City and the prosperous Lantern Festival in Chang'an.

All that remains is the Jinyang Palace polo match in front of us.

This scene is very pleasing and has a very high cost performance.

Ball games have no barriers to entry for European and American audiences and are extremely popular.

Showing a ball game in a movie will not only not appear dragged out, but will receive great acclaim in the European and American markets.

Just look at the Harry Potter film series to see this; there's a Quidditch match in almost every one of them.

In "The Song of Tang Dynasty", there is a polo match from 1300 years ago, which is definitely a big plus.

The reason why director Nolan suffered was not because filming this scene was not important.

It was because the difficulty in filming this scene lay with him, not Lin Yuan.

Polo, polo, necessarily means playing on horseback.

This really troubled director Nolan.

Ordinary extras, even after training for a period of time, can only ride a horse without falling off. It is completely impossible to expect them to play ball on horseback.

And find professional polo players to assist in the filming?
Without considering the cost, there are still problems that cannot be avoided.

That is, there are no polo players in the country at this time!

Find foreign polo players, who can at most play the role of post-Turkic players.

But what about the Tang Dynasty players?
