Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 548: Meng Tao gives the tiger artificial respiration?
Tigers are very intelligent animals and are very good at adjusting their hunting methods according to their environment.

If at the beginning, Raja still regarded the skinny hairless monkey opposite him as a prey that could be easily bitten to death.

Then after several consecutive failures and even suffering a little damage, it has begun to become cautious.

Due to the animal's instinctive fear of being hurt, Raja would normally give up the hunting attempt.

Risking injury for a little food is not worth it.

But Raja did not give up. Lin Yuan's bullying of him a few days ago had created a deep hatred in his heart, which made him want to bite Lin Yuan to death even if it cost him money.

Looking at Raja's hateful eyes, Lin Yuan knew that today's filming not only had to leave an image of the man-tiger fight engraved in film history, but also required him to completely defeat the tiger.

Otherwise, in the subsequent filming, he would have no way to get Raja to act opposite the old director according to his wishes.

The old director's health is not like his. If Raja is not cooperative in the slightest, it will probably turn into a filming accident.

At this time, Raja, whose fur was wet all over, was lowering his body and walking towards him step by step.

With his fur wet, Raja looked smaller, but more intimidating.

Because the wet fur stuck to its body, Raja's amazing muscles were more clearly outlined. His whole body was covered with bulging muscles, and his forearms alone were thicker than Lin Yuan's thighs.

After the fluffy fur is removed, this oppressive force is revealed without reservation.

"What a muscle mass! This is the first time I've known a tiger's muscles to be so strong!" The director exclaimed in disbelief. "How could Lin Yuan actually fight this monster so effectively?"

Meng Tao also sighed, "After filming with Lin Yuan for many years, I have long developed the habit of not questioning him. As long as he says it's okay, then he will definitely do it.

So I never questioned his desire to fight an elephant. If he dared to challenge an elephant, he would definitely be able to fight a tiger as well.”

"Roar!"

As it continued to advance, Lin Yuan had already entered Raja's attack range. It roared and pounced on him.

The open tiger claws blocked Lin Yuan's escape routes from all angles, as if it could rip Lin Yuan open at the next moment.

At this moment of life and death, Lin Yuan grabbed the muddy ground with his right hand, then swung it violently, and two lumps of wet mud shot out from his hand.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Two balls of mud thrown out by the master-level flying knife technique accurately hit Raja's eyes, completely blocking his vision.

"Roar!"

The tiger never thought that despicable humans would have such a trick. It shook its head desperately and kept wiping its face with its paws, trying to get rid of the mud on its eyes.

Seeing that his trick was effective, Lin Yuan quickly went around behind Raja and jumped onto its back.

Raja felt someone climbing onto its back and was about to throw him off when he felt a violent blow from above his head.

"Boom!"

Lin Yuan bent his elbow and delivered a "twelve-point elbow strike", hitting Raja's head hard.

The close-up camera lens clearly recorded Lin Yuan's powerful blow.

As Lin Yuan's right elbow smashed down violently, the fur on Raja's head, which was soaked with rainwater, instantly exploded into countless water droplets, shooting around like sharp arrows.

The muscles and fur on the tiger's head also vibrated like waves, transmitting the shock of the blow, which shows how powerful the elbow strike was.

Under Lin Yuan's "twelve-point elbow strike", Raja seemed to be stunned and fell to the ground motionless.

Seeing Raja lying down, Lin Yuan did not give it any chance to breathe, and hit it hard from top to bottom with his elbow several times in a row.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Lin Yuan was seen riding firmly on the tiger, hitting it hard again and again.

Every elbow strike caused a huge splash of water due to the violent impact, which had an amazing visual impact.

Raja struggled violently, digging four deep mud pits under his body with his tiger claws.

This scene stunned the crew members hiding in the distance:

Is this even human? How could he even knock down a tiger?
How can it be so powerful? Riding on a tiger and dealing damage?
"Last night, Lin Yuan demonstrated his twelve-point elbow strike to me, shattering a huge rock in half." The old director said, "Do you think Tiger will be seriously injured by him?"

Meng Tao shook his head. "It's difficult. Tigers have the thickest and hardest skulls among cats. When they fight among themselves, a palm strike of over a ton of force on their face won't cause much damage. Lin Yuan's elbow strike will at most make it dizzy for a moment, but it will soon react."

"But no matter what, this series of shots of Lin Yuan riding on the tiger's back and smashing it hard are enough to become the most classic screen memory," the old director said with emotion.

At this moment, Lin Yuan, who was halfway through the elbow strike, suddenly stopped.

"Roar!"

Raja finally recovered from his dizziness, roaring and pushing forward.

As Raja moved, a huge force came from under Lin Yuan's body.

Lifted by this force, he flew directly into the air more than three meters high.

Fortunately, he was prepared and did not lose his balance. Instead, he used the force to do a perfect backflip in the air, and then landed steadily on his knees.

The man and the beast were in a standoff again.

"It's bleeding! The tiger is bleeding!" the old director suddenly shouted in surprise.

I saw that the blood had dyed Raja's forehead red, and a stream of blood flowed down his fur, making him look particularly hideous.

"That's what you said, that the tiger cannot be hurt?" said the old director.

"Ahem~" Meng Tao coughed awkwardly a few times. "It's probably just a superficial wound, no bone damage. Look, the tiger is even more violent."

"Even if you're right, it's still outrageous! Without this footage, no one would believe a human could injure a tiger with their bare hands," the veteran director lamented. "I just don't know if this scene will draw protests from animal protection organizations."

"Don't think about that. As long as the money is in place, it won't be a problem. The most critical part is coming. I don't know if things will develop as smoothly as he expected."

Both of them stared at the camera screen intently, as success or failure depended on the next step.

The next shooting plan was to face the furious Raja. Uday quickly climbed up the tree, and Raja followed him up the tree and forced him into a dead end.

The uncontrollable factor in this step is, what if Raja doesn’t follow me to climb the tree?
If the animal actors don’t cooperate, it will be really difficult to deal with.

But what Meng Tao and the director were worried about was not a problem at all in Lin Yuan's eyes.

Lin Yuan could feel the hatred in Wu Di's bones and his determination to kill him.

The hatred from the previous few days, coupled with the anger from being beaten, made Raja even willing to risk his life to kill Lin Yuan.

So there is no need to worry about Raja not catching up.

At this time, Lin Yuan stared at Raja.

He knew that although Raja seemed to be bleeding and injured, in fact it had no significant impact at all.

He had known this result a long time ago, but when he found out that he still couldn't seriously injure the tiger, Lin Yuan still felt a little disappointed.

23 points of strength, far beyond the human limit.

But in front of the wild beast, it is still not enough.

He was far inferior to Raja in attacking power, and even less in running speed.

Lin Yuan glanced at the big tree growing on the edge of the cliff more than 20 meters away.

If he ran straight towards the big tree, he would probably be caught up by Raja and pinned to the ground with one claw before he could climb up.

Even though Lin Yuan's running speed has long exceeded the limit of human beings, it is still nothing in front of Raja.

When a tiger runs, its maximum speed can reach 80 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to 22 meters per second.

In other words, it takes less than 100 seconds to run 5 meters. Lin Yuan can hardly catch up with such a speed.

So Lin Yuan swung his right hand violently.

Seeing this action, Raja instinctively took a step back and turned the tiger's head.

Lin Yuan’s messy operation just now really impressed it.

Just like when a human squats down, the dog will think that the human is going to pick up a stone and throw it at the dog, and will instinctively react with vigilance.

But this time Lin Yuan was just bluffing. He immediately turned around and ran towards the big tree.

This action made Raja stunned for a moment.

But it soon realized: the target had escaped!
"Roar!"

Lin Yuan's escape further aroused Raja's animal nature. He roared and chased after him at a faster speed.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan was not far from the big tree. The short time that Raja was stunned was enough for him to run to the big tree that required four people holding hands to hug it.

He jumped up nimbly, hugged the tree trunk, and then immediately climbed up quickly using his hands and feet.

"Boom!"

Lin Yuan had just climbed up the tree when Raja crashed heavily into the tree under his feet.

"Crash!"

"Crash!"

Countless raindrops hanging on the leaves were knocked down by the vibration.

Suddenly, a heavier rainstorm began to fall under the big tree.

Lin Yuan, who was climbing a tree, was suddenly drenched in the face and almost fell off the tree because his hands went weak.

He shook his head vigorously to shake off the water droplets that had entered his eyes and continued to climb.

He knew he had to climb faster, as Raja would soon follow.

When it comes to tree climbing speed, Raja is definitely faster than him!
At this moment, a story he had read as a child flashed through Lin Yuan's mind.

It is a fairy tale about a tiger learning skills from a cat.

In the story, the cat taught the tiger all its skills except climbing trees.

When the tiger thought he had learned all the skills from the cat teacher, he turned against the cat and wanted to eat it.

But the cat was prepared and jumped up a big tree.

A tiger that can't climb a tree can only accept failure in shame.

This story is quite famous and once led many children to mistakenly believe that tigers cannot climb trees.

But the truth is, tigers can not only climb trees, but they can also climb trees very quickly.

Raja took a few steps back, ran to the big tree and jumped up.

Just this one leap was 3 meters high.

When the upward momentum was exhausted, Raja immediately gripped the trunk with his front and back claws and quickly jumped up. This action was not climbing a tree at all, but climbing up section by section!

In an instant, Lin Yuan was caught up, and he had no chance to climb to the top of the tree to hide.

Fortunately, his plan was not to climb to the top of the tree to hide, but to climb onto a tree trunk that was large enough for one person to hug at the fork of the tree trunk about 17 or 18 meters high, and then run in small steps towards the direction where the trunk extended.

The tiger Raja quickly jumped to the fork of the tree trunk. He looked at Lin Yuan not far away and did not chase after him immediately.

The cautious Raja first pressed the tree trunk hard several times with his tiger paw to test the supporting strength.

When its thick branch trunk was strong enough to support its own weight, it also took small steps towards the source of the forest.

At this moment, Raja's eyes revealed the joy of revenge:
The target has reached a dead end and has nowhere to escape. If you force your way in, you can easily bite through his throat.

Standing at the end of the tree trunk, Lin Yuan really had nowhere to escape. Facing the tiger's relentless pursuit, he was not panicked at all. Instead, he lowered his head and looked down: a pool of water.

That will be the final battlefield where he will completely tame the tiger.

Raja approached step by step and was about to reach Lin Yuan.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Yuan secretly made a gesture to Meng Tao.

After receiving the new number from Lin Yuan, Meng Tao pressed the remote control in his hand.

"Crack!"

The small explosive device pre-placed at the connection of the tree trunk was activated.

In an instant, the originally solid and reliable tree trunk broke in half.

Lin Yuan and Raja, who lost their support, fell down together.

In mid-air, Raja waved his tiger claws in panic, trying to grab something, but to no avail.

The reason why Lin Yuan chose this tree as the shooting location is because it is located on the edge of the cliff above the pond.

Once the trunk broke, they would undoubtedly fall into the pool of water below.

At this moment, Lin Yuan had only one thought in his mind:
Keep your heels vertical when entering the water to minimize the impact of entering the water!

Lin Yuan has plenty of experience in falling into water from heights.

He and Raja fell from a tree trunk that was 27 meters high. In addition, the tree grew on the edge of the cliff and was about meters high from the pool, so the total height was about meters.

When jumping from Niagara Falls before, Lin Yuan challenged a height of 68 meters, which is equivalent to a 23-story building.

In comparison, today's height is simply child's play.

Lin Yuan tensed his body, with his heels pointed straight down, like a sharp javelin, and plunged into the water.

"puff!"

Small splashes appeared on the water surface, as if the Chinese diving team had performed the ancestral secret technique: the disappearing splash technique.

Next to Lin Yuan, the tiger Raja lay sideways and slammed heavily into the water.

"Wow!"

It was like a mine exploding underwater, and a large amount of water was splashed into the air, the height of the water splashing was more than ten meters high.

If this were diving, it would definitely get zero points!

Poor tiger, it doesn't know anything about diving techniques. If a person entered the water in this posture, his internal organs would definitely be shaken and he would have to be rushed to the hospital.

Fortunately, the tiger's bones and muscles are more resistant to impact, and unlike humans, they have naked skin, but soft fur as a buffer.

But this fall also made Raja feel dizzy and in severe pain all over his body.

Lin Yuan looked at Raja, who was completely stunned by the fall. He could completely guess how he felt at the moment. He had also experienced this feeling:
My head felt like it had been hit hard by a punch, and my whole body felt like it was being hit by countless hammers. A violent stream of water rushed in from my ears, nostrils, and mouth, and there was no part of my body that didn't feel uncomfortable.

For Lin Yuan, if this feeling appeared on him, it would definitely be a very uncomfortable thing.

But it would be great if it happened to Raja!

Even if Raja was not seriously injured, he was not worried that he would not be able to subdue Raja. After all, Lin Yuan could not base his hopes on Raja being injured.

But Raja's injury was also a good thing for Lin Yuan, which made him less worried. Now was the perfect time to take advantage of his illness and kill him!

So Lin Yuan swam hard towards Raja.

At this time, Raja was struggling hard to splash water to ensure that his body did not sink.

It was obvious that he was injured when he fell into the water, which is why his movements were so heavy.

If it hadn't been injured, it would never have been in such a mess.

Anyone who has ever had a cat at home knows that bathing a cat is a very painful thing.

Cats, or most cats, are very reluctant to go into water and don't like their fur getting wet.

The tiger is almost the only exception among cats. Not only are they good at swimming, but they also like to swim in the water and are even good at catching fish.

But even if Raja was not injured, Lin Yuan believed that he could easily suppress Raja with his master-level water sports skills.

Lin Yuan quickly swam behind Raja. He put his right hand on Raja's huge tiger head and pushed its head underwater.

"puff!"

A large amount of pool water suddenly poured into Raja's mouth.

"Roar!"

Raja roared and struggled violently. He had no time to attack Lin Yuan. He could only instinctively stick his head out of the water to breathe a few more breaths of air.

But soon, Lin Yuan pressed its big tiger head under the water again.

The logic of fighting underwater is completely different from that on land. The effect of strength is greatly weakened, and water nature is king.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Li Kui to be tortured by Zhang Shun, have his stomach full of water, and almost lose his life.

Lin Yuan's swimming skills are so good that he can tame a great white shark weighing several tons in the water. He is simply crushing the tiger king Raja.

Raja's swimming ability was not as good as Lin Yuan's, and he was injured, so he couldn't move freely, so he was naturally abused on one side.

"Puff!" Water gushed in suddenly.

"Roar!" He struggled hard to get out of the water.

"Puff!" He was pushed into the water again.

Such a struggle is futile and will only make Raja exhaust his strength faster.

When Raja tried his best to struggle out of the water for the last time, Lin Yuan clearly saw a look of pleading for mercy in its eyes.

As a higher animal, the tiger naturally has advanced emotions. It will also be afraid at the moment of life and death, and will beg Lin Yuan to spare it.

Its ears drooped, and it made a whimpering sound from its mouth. It tried to rub its head against Lin Yuan. These actions were exactly like a cat begging for mercy.

If it were on land, Lin Yuan had no doubt that it would even turn over and expose its belly.

Faced with Raja’s humble plea for mercy, Lin Yuan’s choice was: Keep fucking you!

Ignoring Raja's pleas for mercy, he continued to exert force and pushed the tiger's head into the water again.

Finally, Raja could not struggle any longer. He twisted his body in despair and sank into the water.

"Gulp gurgle~" water suddenly poured into Raja's mouth.

"Gudong gudong~" a string of bubbles on the water surface.

It was only at this time that Lin Yuan waved towards the shore.

"Next!" At Meng Tao's signal, Saragama ran to the pond and threw out a rope.

Lin Yuan grabbed one end of the rope and dived into the water again.

Lin Yuan didn't have the ability to lift the 360-kilogram Rajah out of the water, so he had to rely on the help of the crew members. The rope was a prop that had been prepared long ago.

Soon, Lin Yuan found Raja, who had lost consciousness and fallen into a coma underwater.

Lin Yuan swam quickly to its side, tied Raja with a rope, and then pulled the rope a few times.

Feeling Lin Yuan's reminder, the security team on the shore began to drag the rope quickly.

Raja was also pulled to the surface by the rope.

"It's out, everyone, work harder! Hurry up!" Meng Tao shouted.

"Got it!" The crew members were full of energy.

After all, they had just watched such a wonderful battle of hands, and everyone was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Soon Raja was dragged to the shore.

At this time, the tiger king had his eyes closed and had lost his previous ferocity.

Meng Tao hesitated for a moment, but mustered up the courage to step forward and put his hand in front of Raja's nose: "He's not breathing. Are we in trouble?"

"It won't die, will it? Killing a tiger while filming a movie is major negative news. The audience might boycott the movie." The old director said with a headache.

"What are you thinking about? Start the contingency plan!" Lin Yuan said.

"Contingency plan?" Meng Tao asked doubtfully.

"Rescue the drowning tiger!" Lin Yuan said.

"How do you rescue a drowning tiger?" This completely confused Meng Tao.

Not only did he not know how to do it, the medical team and security personnel on standby also said they did not know how to do it.

They have only experienced rescuing drowning humans, so how could they have ever dealt with rescuing a drowning tiger?
"We rescue tigers in the same way as humans. It's nothing more than chest and abdominal compression, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and artificial respiration. This tiger was drowning for such a short time, it can definitely be saved." Lin Yuan said.

Raja was drowning for a very short time. Even without rescue, he would probably recover on his own in a short time.

But Lin Yuan still didn't want anything to happen, so he activated the rescue plan.

"Artificial respiration?" Hearing this, Meng Tao instinctively took a step back: "You don't want me to do it, do you?"

The last time Meng Tao filmed Pirates of the Caribbean, he applied medicine to Depp who was allergic, which became a shadow in his life.

At this moment, I heard that someone was responsible for giving the tiger artificial respiration...

Meng Tao immediately felt something was wrong.

Meng Tao looked at Raja's big mouth that could cover his entire head and was full of sharp teeth.

Imagine moving your lips closer and kissing that tiger's mouth that never brushes its teeth and is full of the stench of food residue...

Just by imagining such a scene, Meng Tao immediately felt his sanity value plummet.

If he really were to give Raja artificial respiration, he would lose his mouth!
But his premonition was soon confirmed. Lin Yuan said with a smile:

"Meng Tao, this glorious and arduous task is now handed over to you!"
