Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 443: Live-action version of Angry Birds?

"Are you going to sit on the slingshot, have someone shoot you out with a bang, and then crash you into this net?" Chen Long looked at Lin Yuan and said.

"Yes, I think the effect will be great." Lin Yuan replied with a smile.

Before filming "The King of Spy", some viewers speculated whether Lin Yuan's next movie would be about sitting in a cannon barrel and having someone shoot out like a cannonball.

In "The Heroes of Tang Dynasty", although he did not get into the cannon barrel, he was bounced out by a huge slingshot, so the difference is not that big.

There was no Angry Birds game at that time, and this was roughly how it was played.

With a "bang", Lin Yuan was shot out by the slingshot, flew over a thousand meters in the air, and landed on the net bag.

"This is too dangerous. I heard from Meng Tao that your super slingshot will accelerate you to a speed of more than 1 kilometers per hour in 320 second, and then hit this net. Do you know how many G overloads you will withstand?" Chen Long asked.

"I know, it will withstand an overload of about 9.2G." Lin Yuan replied.

Accelerating to 1 kilometers per hour in 320 second, which is equivalent to a speed of about 90 meters per second, will cause Lin Yuan to bear an overload of 9.2G, which is equivalent to 9.2 of him, and the huge gravity of nearly 800 kilograms suddenly presses on his body.

This is beyond the limits of ordinary people.

A normal person would feel uncomfortable when riding a roller coaster at just 1.5G.

When the overload reaches 5g, ordinary people will feel dizzy, nauseous, lose judgment, or even coma. When the overload reaches 6g, most people will lose consciousness.

The maximum force that rigorously trained astronauts and pilots can withstand is about 9G.

The 9.2G that Lin Yuan will have to endure has exceeded the limit even for professional pilots.

Chen Long continued to ask worriedly: "Actually, I've thought about doing the same thing as you before. But after careful study, I gave up. Just think of it as me nagging, and listen to my concerns."

Lin Yuan could sense Chen Long's concern, and he answered seriously, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Chen Long. I also hope you can help me find out everything I've missed."

Chen Long said seriously, "First of all, you have to know that even if you can withstand high G-loads, you may still fall unconscious instantly. You are a Tang Dynasty general who was ejected. You cannot have a parachute or other protection. Falling unconscious will bring great danger."

Lin Yuan knew that what Chen Long said was right. During the sudden acceleration, it is very easy to lose consciousness, which is G-LOC (G-induced loss of consciousness).

Everyone should have had this experience: if you squat for a long time and then suddenly stand up, you will feel dizzy and your vision will go dark.

This is because the brain is momentarily deprived of blood and oxygen is not supplied, resulting in a feeling of fainting.

Under the effect of large overload, blood is thrown from the brain to the lower limbs, resulting in insufficient or stopped blood supply to the brain, causing gray vision, black vision and even syncope (G-LOC).

Facing Chen Long's concerns, Lin Yuan replied, "Yes, I might lose consciousness instantly. But I believe I can wake up within three seconds. My physical fitness can definitely do it.

Meng Tao calculated that the entire ejection distance exceeded 1200 meters, and combined with the air resistance and deceleration, this meant that I would be in the air for at least 16 seconds and would not be in a coma the entire time.

After hearing that Lin Yuan had taken this into consideration, Chen Long continued:

"The second challenge you will face is an extremely high overload of 9.2G. Don't think that pilots can barely withstand 9G. You should be able to do it with your good physical fitness.

Pilots can withstand 9G because they wear anti-G suits, perform anti-G movements, and have the protection of pressurized breathing and reclining seats.

This whole set of procedures can ensure that the pilot can barely withstand the 9G overload.

But when you were filming this scene, there was nothing."

Lin Yuan nodded, Chen Long was right.

The "open-crotch pants" worn by fighter pilots are anti-gravity suits. The anti-gravity device on the aircraft can automatically inflate the anti-gravity suit when the overload is greater than 2. The greater the overload, the greater the inflation pressure. After inflation, the airbag will compress the abdomen and lower limbs, thereby compressing the blood vessels to prevent blood from flowing downward under the action of overload, thereby ensuring blood circulation in the brain.

Anti-G maneuver is a protective action that the pilot takes to actively resist overload when overload occurs. It is also called anti-G tightening maneuver. The purpose is to increase the arterial blood pressure at the cardiac level to ensure blood supply to the head, thereby preventing G-LOC. It can usually increase by about 1-3G.

Pressurized breathing increases the oxygen content in the blood and tries to ensure more oxygen supply when blood transfusion to the brain is reduced.

The seat has a large reclining angle, which can be tilted up to 30°, and can effectively relieve the overload on the pilot.

This is a complete set of means to combat ultra-high overloads, allowing pilots to withstand an overload of 9G, but Lin Yuan has nothing.

He could only wear a round-necked robe, a black fu hat, and black leather boots, a standard Tang Dynasty outfit.

Anti-gravity suits, parachutes, windproof masks... forget about these equipment, you can only rely on your physical body to withstand it.

In response to Chen Long's point, Lin Yuan said, "I've done overload resistance training on a centrifuge. Without any auxiliary equipment, my body can barely withstand a 9.2G overload."

Hearing Lin Yuan's answer, Chen Long's eyes widened into the size of copper bells and he was completely shocked.

What kind of monster is this?

Without the assistance of any equipment, can you withstand the overload of 9.2G by relying only on your physical body?
If Lin Yuan becomes a fighter pilot, wouldn't he be able to easily withstand 12G overload with the help of a complete set of equipment?
With such physical fitness, you should become an ace pilot and become the king of the blue sky!
After a while, he smiled helplessly and said to Li Renjie beside him: "In the past, you always said that I relied on my physique to shoot action scenes, saying that I was different from ordinary people. Without this strong body, I would have died countless times.

But look at Brother Lin's physical fitness, what does mine compare to? "

Li Renjie smiled and said, "If you can't compare to him, then I certainly can't. No wonder Brother Lin has been able to create miracles time and time again in recent years. His physical fitness is truly incredible. This is a gift from heaven, a gift from heaven."

"But even if you can withstand the 9.2G overload, I still have concerns," Chen Long continued.

"Please speak." Lin Yuan said sincerely.

"Can you guarantee that the net is strong enough to successfully absorb the impact? What if the net breaks?"

"Can you guarantee that when the slingshot launches you, you'll land accurately on this net? If you land outside the net, then..."

Chen Long asked two questions in a row.

"We have experimented with this before. But we can experiment again today and show you." After saying that, Lin Yuan turned his head and gestured to Director Nolan beside him.

Director Nolan took out his walkie-talkie and said to Meng Tao, who had already made preparations, "Coach Meng, are you ready for the ejection?"

"I'm ready, just waiting for your words." Meng Tao's voice came from the intercom.

Lin Yuan pointed to a high ground not far away and said, "Look, the slingshot is right there."

Chen Long and Li Renjie looked up and saw a huge slingshot nearly three stories high set up on the high ground.

It looks like an ancient wooden slingshot, but in fact it is disguised in an antique appearance. The three main parts of this human slingshot, the bow frame, rubber band, and leather bag, are all made of modern composite materials to ensure sufficient strength and launch force.

The slingshot is located on high ground, more than 1000 meters away from the polo field in a straight line.

During the filming, Lin Yuan will be ejected from there and fall into the net bag on the polo field in the city.

"When you're ready, let's launch," said director Nolan.

"Okay, just wait." Meng Tao said on the intercom.

"Get out of the way, stay away from the net bag." Lin Yuan called everyone and hid at a position farther away from the net bag.

One kilometer away, Meng Tao will use the huge slingshot to launch a dummy to test the flight trajectory.

The dummy's body shape, clothing, and weight are similar to Lin Yuan's, which can better simulate the ballistic trajectory of Lin Yuan's ejection.

It can also test whether the net bag is strong enough to catch a high-speed falling object of the same weight.

Once everyone is in a safe position, the test begins immediately.

"Boom!"

First there was a loud slingshot sound.

More than ten seconds later, a rapid whistling sound came from the sky.

With the sound of whistling wind, a figure crashed into...

On top of the wall.

"Boom!"

The broken stones were blown up along with the dust.

The huge impact force created several cracks on the wall.

If this wall was not made of reinforced concrete, it would have collapsed directly. This shows how powerful the force was when it fell.

The dummy used in the experiment was naturally torn into pieces, a horrible sight.

Faced with this result, Lin Yuan remained silent.

Chen Long's face was grim: "Is it off the grid? The impact is so strong, what if it's a real person?"

Li Renjie also looked troubled: "If that was a real shot, something unexpected would have happened."

Director Nolan was puzzled and asked, "We tested it a few times a few days ago, and it was fine, wasn't it?"

Today's first experiment failed, and an ominous atmosphere enveloped the entire crew.

Lin Yuan shook his head: "The wind direction suddenly changed just now, which interfered with the flight trajectory. Let's try again."

Director Nolan gave an order in the headset: "Test it again!"

The preparation time was quite long. After about ten minutes, Meng Tao's voice came from the headset: "Get ready."

Pulling the slingshot to its full extent requires the cooperation of a mechanical vehicle, fixing the dummy also requires complicated steps, and recalculation based on the current wind direction and wind speed, so it takes quite a while.

Now that the preparations for the experiment were complete, Meng Tao immediately began the second test.

"Boom!"

Still a loud noise was heard first.

Then the dummy came flying in with a roar.

This time the dummy hit the net bag accurately.

Everyone clearly saw that the net bag was violently deformed, and the elastic net was stretched back several meters.

After absorbing all the kinetic energy of the dummy, the net bag rebounds and ejects the dummy.

Seeing this scene, the staff on the scene immediately burst into cheers: "Success!"

"It was very accurate this time, without any deviation, and it fell right in the center of the net bag!" said Lin Yuan.

Director Nolan immediately instructed the staff to "go up and check if the net bag is damaged."

The staff immediately checked it and said that the net bag was intact and had no damage.

The specially made net bag is fully capable of withstanding this level of kinetic energy impact.

At this time, the crew members were in a better mood, and the depressing atmosphere had eased a little.

"It was successful once, but what is the success rate?" Li Renjie asked.

"Let's try a few more times, it's safer." Chen Long also asked, "Are there enough dummies?"

Lin Yuan nodded: "We have sufficient funds and a sufficient number of mannequins."

So, Director Nolan continued on the intercom: "Director Meng, continue testing."

"Got it!" came the reply from the headset.

"Boom!"

Once again, he accurately hit the center of the net bag.

……

"Boom!"

It hit the net bag, but the position was a bit off.

But it was still a success, and the crew members breathed a sigh of relief.

……

"Boom!"

Fifth test.

Hit the center of the net bag again.

……

This was repeated continuously for a total of nine tests.

Except for the first test where the dummy hit the wall and failed, the next eight tests were all successful.

Seeing this result, all the crew members on the scene laughed, and the tense and depressing atmosphere just now disappeared.

"It seems that I was just unlucky the first time. It must be an accident." Lin Yuan said.

"In this case, I feel much more at ease. I was really scared just now." Li Renjie said.

"Let's do one last test, ten times in total, and then we'll see the final result." Chen Long said cautiously.

"Okay! Let's do it again." Director Nolan said, "Coach Meng, get ready, and do it again!"

"Got it! Get ready immediately!"

……

"Boom!"

The final test began, and the dummy came roaring over.

After so many tests, everyone has gained experience and knows how to roughly judge whether the dummy's trajectory has deviated.

"No! The wind direction has changed! The dummy has been abnormally disturbed!" A staff member shouted immediately.

"It seems the trajectory is skewed to the right. The net bag will leak out from the right side!" another staff member shouted. Everyone stared at the dummy, praying that this test would not fail.

"Boom!"

Under everyone's disappointed gaze, the dummy slammed hard against the wall again, breaking into pieces.

This scene silenced everyone present.

The morale of the crew members dropped visibly.

This scene can’t be filmed, right?

This failure proves that the first failure was not accidental.

10 tests, 8 successes and 2 failures.

It seems like an 80% success rate doesn't seem bad.

But how could you dare to try such a dangerous stunt without being 100% sure?
If there is any mistake, Lin Yuan will die young.

With such a high-speed collision, there is absolutely no possibility of survival for a human.

What's more, the 8 successful shots that hit the net were not that reliable.

Of those eight successful net hits, three landed in relatively marginal positions.

If the wind direction interference during the flight is more severe, it is entirely possible that the network will be disconnected.

Obviously, this human slingshot stunt is quite dangerous.

Do you want to shoot this scene?
At this time, Lin Yuan was faced with a dilemma.

The crew members all looked at Lin Yuan, waiting for his decision.

Whether it is Chen Long, Li Renjie, an experienced action actor who has experienced many dangerous situations, or director Nolan, Liu Yufei, Gao Yuanyuan and others in the crew, the worry in their eyes is very clearly visible.

No one wanted him to take any risks.

In this case, it would not be embarrassing if Lin Yuan said he didn't want to shoot anymore.

He is not in a dilemma.

Rather than letting Lin Yuan risk his life again in exchange for exciting stunt sequences, everyone would rather he be safer, even if "The Legend of Tang Dynasty" may not be as exciting as a result.

Facing everyone's concerned eyes, Lin Yuan silently said in his heart:

"System, evaluate the completion of this action scene."

[This action scene is dangerous level A, host challenge success rate: 70%]

Sure enough, the test results were close to those of the dummy ejection test.

This success rate is much higher than the basic success rate of jumping into Hukou Waterfall.

Because Hukou Waterfall mainly relies on Lin Yuan's physical body to resist, the basic success rate is relatively low.

For this human slingshot, the basic success rate is determined by the trajectory of the slingshot.

The reason why the system gave an A-level danger level is mainly because it is thrilling enough and he will have no chance of surviving if an accident occurs.

Lin Yuan carefully assessed in his mind: Is it really that dangerous?
Actually not!
He still has a lot of cards to play, so this game is not so out of control for him!
During the ejection process, the biggest risk comes from sudden changes in wind direction and wind speed.

The dummy ejected into the air at high speed is greatly affected by the wind.

Any significant change in wind speed will cause the dummy's ejection trajectory to deviate.

So, what if you try to manually intervene in the effects of wind direction and wind force?

The dead dummy could not make any effective correction for this, but Lin Yuan could remedy it.

The Tang-style round-necked robe has a wide lapel and spread-out sleeves, which look like a small sail in the air.

Lin Yuan can change the impact of wind direction by simply controlling the opening and closing of his clothes at the right time in the air.

This is a bit like wingsuit flying, and the wide lapels can indeed correct the trajectory to a certain extent.

If the wind direction and wind speed did not change suddenly, he would just have to tie his clothes tightly and eject according to the predetermined trajectory.

If he unfortunately encounters a sudden change in wind direction and wind speed, he can also spread out his clothes to help himself adjust his trajectory in the air.

But it is completely impossible for ordinary people to grasp this kind of opportunity.

During the high-speed flight, the 9.2G overload makes people dizzy, and the wind pressure on the face makes it impossible to open the eyes. It is not easy to stay awake, let alone calmly judge the wind direction and speed, and whether the flight trajectory has deviated.

This request is simply unreasonable.

But for Lin Yuan, it is not a problem.

His physical fitness is quite strong, with a physical fitness of 22 points, which allows him to resist various discomforts during the flight.

The extremely high agility of 25 points allows him to react sharply.

In addition, Lin Yuan has his biggest killer weapon: master-level time management.

He can make the passage of time seem slower, giving him enough time to analyze how to adjust his clothes to correct his flight trajectory in the air.

But Lin Yuan felt that these trump cards alone were not enough, as he still had 25 unallocated attributes.

This was achieved in one go after he completed the action scene of jumping over Hukou Waterfall.

At that time, Lin Yuan was reluctant to use these attribute points immediately, and wanted to wait for them to be used in an emergency in the future.

Obviously, this is the critical moment.

What’s the point of accumulating so many points if the action scene fails?
At this time, Lin Yuan no longer saved these distributable points, he decisively chose to add points.

[Agility: 25 → 26]

[Physique: 22→24]

[Assignable attributes: 25 → 0]

The specific improvement effects will not be described in detail here.

The purpose of improving agility is to enable one to have faster reaction speed and be able to deal with emergencies while flying in the air.

Although master-level time management can speed up Lin Yuan's analysis, quick and sensitive response is still very important.

In such a dangerous action scene, agility is definitely the most important attribute.

The increase in physical fitness further enhances the ability to resist dizziness caused by high-speed overload.

When he raised his physical fitness to 24 points, Lin Yuan believed that he could withstand an overload of 11G, so the 9.2G overload in front of him would no longer pose a threat to him.

After completing the addition, Lin Yuan once again said to himself, "System, evaluate the completion of this action scene."

[This action scene is dangerous level A, host challenge success rate: 90%]

enough!

Seeing this result, which showed a 20% improvement, Lin Yuan felt completely relieved.

Because the system cannot evaluate the added effect of master-level time management.

If you can achieve a 90% success rate without considering master-level time management, then the final success rate will definitely be above 98%, and there will be no danger at all.

So what Lin Yuan has to consider is not only to shoot this scene, but also to try to make it more exciting.

After confirming all of this, Lin Yuan confidently told the crew, "It's okay. Trust me. I'm sure I can pull off this action scene. I won't accept your failure."

After hearing Lin Yuan say this, Chen Long wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw that all the crew members stopped talking and began to prepare for filming silently.

Chen Long immediately understood that this was Lin Yuan's style of making movies.

Once he was sure, the other staff members would no longer question him, but would implement Lin Yuan's plan meticulously.

So Chen Long said no more. He silently patted Li Renjie on the shoulder and said, "Young people are formidable. They are full of courage and not afraid of sacrifice."

Li Renjie nodded: "Look at how hard Lin Yuan works. I'm not jealous of his achievements today."

"Yes, with younger generations like Lin Yuan, our action movies will reach higher peaks. Today, let us witness the miracle together." Chen Long replied.

It was already dark at this time, which was exactly the time required for this plot, night.

Night vision does not hinder the slingshot's ejection.

Because there must be a lot of lights at the horse farm near Jinyang Palace.

After so many ejections, I have already become very proficient in calculating various ejection parameters such as vertical elevation angle, horizontal angle, force, etc.

Just make corresponding adjustments based on the wind speed and direction when shooting.

This is similar to the shooting elements of artillery. Whether you can see the target or not does not affect the accuracy of the shot at all.

The next scene to be filmed continues the previous story and is roughly as follows:

Yuchi Yuan, played by Lin Yuan, was chased by black-clad soldiers again, but he successfully escaped by jumping off the Hukou Waterfall.

From the enemy's weapons and combat habits, he judged that the people chasing him were men sent by Li Renjie.

Therefore, Lin Yuan guessed that something must have happened in Hedong Town.

After understanding the situation, Lin Yuan learned that Li Renjie had launched a rebellion, controlled Wang Yu, the governor of Hedong, played by Chen Long, and placed him under house arrest in the Jinyang Palace. He issued orders in Wang Yu's name to mobilize the rebels.

Lin Yuan knew that many soldiers in Hedong Town did not really want to rebel, but were deceived by the military orders issued by Li Renjie using Chen Long.

Therefore, Chen Long and Meng Tao split up into two groups.

Meng Tao returned to Yunzhou City and led his cavalry to Jinyang to quell the rebellion.

Lin Yuan tries to sneak into Jinyang City and rescue Chen Long.

Only in this way can we cut off the source of the problem and eliminate the possibility for Li Renjie to mobilize more soldiers from Hedong Town.

Because Jinyang City has been completely sealed off and no one is allowed to enter or leave, Lin Yuan has absolutely no way to enter the city through normal channels.

Li Renjie was well prepared for the usual things like climbing the city wall with a grappling hook.

The lights on the city walls were as bright as day, leaving no chance for anyone to sneak into the city.

Therefore, Lin Yuan remembered the tall blocking net standing on the edge of the polo field during the previous polo match.

That's why he came up with the idea of ​​using a slingshot to shoot himself into the city.

Although this idea is a bit outrageous, the more outrageous the plan is, the less likely people will think of it.

It was impossible for Li Renjie to deploy defenses in a targeted manner.

This is the only way for Lin Yuan to sneak into the city.

This scene, whether good or bad, can only be shot once!
Director Nolan would never allow a second take.

He never dared to imagine the consequences of failure.

Even if you succeed, the photo may not turn out well.

But such a dangerous action scene must be used even if the effect is not good, and it must never be done again.

Therefore, he had to ensure that there were no accidents and shoot the scene in one take.

All the preparations before filming were carried out in an orderly manner, and Director Nolan was patiently checking every detail.

Camera position.

light.

Shooting rail.

……

and a medical group that only received psychological placebo.

After all preparations have been completed and director Nolan has inspected it.

He then said from behind the camera, holding a walkie-talkie: "All departments, prepare your positions!"

"Already ready"*N
A reply came from the headset.

Director Nolan did not give the shooting instructions decisively as usual.

He took several deep breaths, as if trying his best to relieve the tension in his heart.

Facing this scene, Chen Long and Li Renjie on the side were very familiar with it.

They have had such experiences many times, and they also relieve their tension in this way before shooting a very dangerous action scene.

Director Nolan took a few breaths again, then stopped hesitating and shouted loudly:

"Action!"

　I encountered some urgent matters today, so the update is a little late.

　　There should be another chapter soon.
