Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 53: Outrageous New Mission
11 assignable attributes?
Lin Yuan was a little confused.

The system is such a stingy thing, but it turns out to be so generous this time?

He suppressed his excitement and opened the attribute panel, and finally he could take off.

【Name: Lin Yuan】

[Age: 19 years old]

【Strength: 15】

[Agility: 16]

[Physique: 15]

[Assignable attributes: 12]

[Skills: Master-level swordsmanship, master-level parkour, master-level knife throwing, master-level boxing and kicking]

The upper limits of strength and physique are temporarily locked and cannot be further increased.

So Lin Yuan put all his attributes into agility.

[Agility: 16 → 20]

[Assignable attributes: 12 → 4]

A total of 8 points of allocable attributes were consumed, increasing agility to 20 in one go.

The effect of this agility improvement was extremely obvious. Lin Yuan felt that even without the blessing of skills, he could become a gold medal acrobat without any training if he went to the circus.

He only needs a short practice to master tightrope walking, disc spinning, etc.

If he wants to become an e-sports athlete, he will definitely achieve amazing results by using specific software to test his reaction speed and hand-eye coordination by clicking the mouse or keyboard quickly and handling emergencies.

This is the effect of strong body self-control and reaction ability.

As his agility improved, all of his existing skills were strengthened to varying degrees.

This is most evident in his master-level knife throwing technique. Originally, he could throw the knife 100 meters away, but the distance at which he could hit the target without missing a single shot was 60 meters. Now, this accurate distance has been increased to about 75 meters.

As his agility improved, the energy required to perform other skills like parkour, swordplay, and boxing and kicking also decreased significantly. Lin Yuan's previous limit of four long-distance diving tumbles was now six in a row.

Lin Yuan was very satisfied with the increase brought about by this attribute upgrade.

20 points of agility is already twice that of an ordinary person, and to some extent it is close to the limit of human beings.

He had a vague feeling that if any of the three attributes exceeded 30 points, a magical qualitative change would occur.

Unfortunately, all attributes have reached the upper limit and cannot be improved further.

[The host's potential limit has been reached and this attribute cannot be further improved. Complete the task: Establish a close relationship with any non-B-type girl, and the host will be rewarded with a breakthrough in potential limit.]

After these days of exploration, Lin Yuan has roughly guessed the requirements for achieving an intimate relationship. He plans to give it a try after finishing his current tasks and continue to break through the attribute limit.

"System, re-evaluate the success rate of the action scenes." Lin Yuan muttered in his mind.

[Action scene danger level C, host success rate: 95%.]

[Action scene danger level B, host success rate: 35%.]

Grade C increased from 90% to 95%.

Grade B increased from 32% to 35%.

Although the improvement effect is not great, it is still better to rely on skills to improve the success rate. However, if you can increase strength and constitution to 20 points, the success rate of B-level difficulty should be close to 50%.

Lin Yuan had a clear idea of ​​the road ahead.

[Second Mission: Star in a Hollywood action movie and achieve the annual global box office championship.]

[Attribute rewards will be given based on the host's performance.] It was indeed a chain mission. After completing the first ring, the system immediately gave the second ring target.

Compared to the first ring, the requirements for box office results this time are simply outrageous.

In recent years, the global box office champion has been either "Harry Potter" or "The Lord of the Rings". To win the annual box office champion, you must defeat these two monsters at the same time...

You should know that the 2002 "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" had a global box office of 2 million US dollars.

In 2003, the global box office of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" reached a perverted $3 billion.

The most arrogant box office fantasy of director Sommers' "The Mummy Returns" is only $6 million...

Isn’t the gap between them too big?
If Lin Yuan wants to win the annual box office champion, he can only face the challenge head-on. There will be no window period in the next few years. Even if he is willing to wait for a few years, he cannot avoid the box office monster that blocks his way every year.

The 2002 Lord of the Rings still had a chance of victory, but the 2003 Lord of the Rings III was almost invincible.

Therefore, he had to grab the starring role in a future blockbuster and strive to make it surpass "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" at the box office in 2002.

Lin Yuan thought about it and realized that the movies with the closest box office results were only "Star Wars Episode 2" and "Spider-Man".

But there is no chance for him to appear in these two movies.

It is impossible for a Chinese person to star in these two movies.

what can we do about it?

A list of movies flashed through his mind and he decided to talk to Mr. Eisen.

Through the success of the first two films, he has proved himself again, and there are many things that need to be formally confirmed with Mr. Eisen.

"In this lifetime, if we meet on a narrow road, we will not be able to escape..." The cell phone rang.

When hearing the lyrics of "Flowing Years", a new song released by Queen Faye Wong this year, Lin Yuan recalled his own encounter with "The Lord of the Rings 2", which was also not immune.

Gan!
He picked up the phone, and a gentle voice came over: "Congratulations, Lin Yuan. I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've already become famous."

"Thank you, Director Ang Lee. You've also had a fruitful year. Congratulations to you as well."

At the 73rd Academy Awards ceremony that just ended some time ago, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won four major awards including Best Foreign Language Film, Best Original Score, Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography.

This achievement is unprecedented in Chinese-language films. As a reborn person, Lin Yuan knows that it will be unprecedented even until 2024.

Director Ang Lee has always taken good care of Lin Yuan, and because of the box office success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he gave him a big red envelope of 150 million US dollars.

Therefore, Lin Yuan was naturally very happy to see him achieve such an honor.

It's just that he was busy with the release of two movies some time ago and didn't attend the Oscars with director Ang Lee. They haven't seen each other for more than half a year.

"Lin Yuan, are you busy next?"

"Maybe a little bit, what's up with you?"

"I have a movie in the pipeline. Are you interested? If you are interested, the script and role can be customized for you," director Ang Lee asked on the phone.

"what movie?"

"The tentative title of the film is Brokeback Mountain. It tells the story of two men..."

"It's not an action movie, right? If not, forget it. For now, I want to focus on action movies."

Are you kidding? How could Lin Yuan not know what kind of movie this is? He doesn't want to make this movie.

Even if he knew that the movie had great reputation, it wouldn't work.

He doesn't want to become the banner of a certain culture in the future.

If director Ang Lee invited him to star in "Lust, Caution" in a few years, Lin Yuan might hesitate, after all, that could barely be considered an action movie.
