Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 56: Filming a Commercial with Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway?
If it came down to choosing an actress in Hollywood to play Snow White, Lin Yuan couldn't think of a more suitable candidate than Anne Hathaway.

She has long golden hair and blue eyes, bright eyes, white teeth, skin as white as snow, and a sweet and pure smile.

In sharp contrast to Anne Hathaway's angelic face, she is also 1 meters tall and has a graceful figure that makes men want to commit a crime.

Anne Hathaway had just turned 18, and her youthful beauty was irresistible. She had just finished filming the acclaimed film "The Princess Diaries" and would later star in "The Devil Wears Prada."

These two films will establish her as an actress in Hollywood.

"I've accepted this collaboration. What product is it?" After confirming that the partner was Anne Hathaway, Lin Yuan readily accepted it.

It is indeed as Mr. Eisen said, if you want to become the "yellow-skinned prince" accepted by the European and American people as soon as possible, binding yourself with a Snow White to form a screen couple is the fastest shortcut.

"Cartier couple's watch."

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment. Cartier is a famous luxury jewelry brand. They always adhere to the concept of making watches with the same sense of jewelry, which is very different from the technical style of other watch brands.

At this time, the best-selling Cartier Blue Balloon had not yet been launched on the market, but it did not prevent it from becoming a member of the high-end luxury brand.

Endorsing luxury goods is a favorite of many celebrities.

High income, easy work, good image presentation... In short, there are many benefits.

Mr. Eisen's plan was for Lin Yuan and Anne Hathaway to shoot a short drama film together, and then extract dozens of seconds of advertising material from it.

Long short films are used to cultivate user minds, that is, to gradually change the audience's cognition.

Edited advertisements are used for media placement.

"I agree with your plan, but I want to decide the script of the short film myself." Lin Yuan expressed his opinion.

"You want to write your own script?"

"Of course not, I just have a good candidate for remake, and the company just needs to help me get the adaptation rights."

"Well, this advertising revenue is not considered performance," Mr. Eisen emphasized.

"..."

Lin Yuan was speechless. It was indeed not an income from action movies and TV series.

...(I am definitely not the dividing line for water word count)

In the next few days, Lin Yuan asked Director Cohen, who was temporarily free, to help shoot the promotional video.

Immediately afterwards, a cooperation agreement was finalized with Anne Hathaway, and the details of their first meeting were skipped.

Finally the day of shooting arrived.

The name of the short commercial is "Diary from the Past".

The story begins with a series of quickly flashing shots.

In the octagon, Lin Yuan, as a mixed martial arts athlete, has won the UFC gold belt many times.

He stood in the center of thousands of people, enjoying great glory.

But in the last scene, his right hand was severely broken by his opponent's ground skills...

From then on, he fell from the top, his condition was no longer as good as before, and he quietly left the arena that once brought him endless glory.

One day, the down-and-out Lin Yuan picked up a notebook on his way home.

After returning home, he opened it casually and found that it was a girl's diary.

He flipped through the pages curiously and found that every page repeated the same thing in beautiful handwriting:

"Nothing good happened today, April 4th, and I feel miserable."

"April 4th, today is still the same, life is hopeless."

...Since leaving the octagon, Lin Yuan has felt bored every day, and he understands this feeling very well.

So he took out a pen and wrote in his diary:

"I feel the same way. I am very depressed and I can't see the future."

What’s surprising is that Lin Yuan had just finished writing this sentence.

A line of words written by the girl gradually appeared below Lin Yuan's words:
"Who are you? Why are you scribbling in someone else's diary?"

Lin Yuan was shocked. How could this happen?
This line of text is exactly the same as the handwriting of the diary owner, so it should be that girl.

Soon, Lin Yuan, no longer panicking, wrote in his diary out of curiosity:

"My name is Lin Yuan, I'm 20 years old, and I used to be a UFC fighter."

"Wow! I know you! I watched your match tonight, congratulations on winning the championship!"

"My name is Annie, I'm 18 years old. I've been watching your games a lot recently, and your bravery and fearlessness have given me so much strength!"

Seeing the girl’s words, Lin Yuan was stunned. He had been away from the arena for almost two years. How could he possibly win the championship?

He turned to the title page of the diary and found that the calendar on the title page was 1999, while it was now 2001.

Is this girl writing in an old diary?
So he continued writing in his diary:

"Annie, I want to ask you a question. What year is it there? I haven't participated in any competitions in two years."

“It’s 1999!”

"But it's 2001 here! To me, you're someone who lived two years ago!"

"It must be strange for you to be talking to someone from two years ago. I'm sorry to hear that you're no longer competing. Can you please not give up?"

Before Lin Yuan could answer, a line of text appeared in front of him:
"Do you still long to stand in the octagon?"

Through this line of text, Lin Yuan seemed to see a blonde girl sitting in front of a diary, writing seriously.

How could you not desire it?

His talent, his glory, years of hard work, and future hopes are all there.

only……

"My right hand was seriously injured and it is not recovering well..." Lin Yuan did not give a direct answer, but wrote this.

"You can recover, right? Please don't give up on your dream!"

“No matter how difficult it is, no matter how slim the hope is, please persevere.”

"During my most painful days, I was able to persevere by drawing strength from you. Let's work together, okay?"

Seeing the words written by the girl, Lin Yuan seemed to gain energy again. He decided to overcome the difficulties and make sure his right hand recovered.

So in the following days, Lin Yuan went back and forth between major hospitals, but the experts repeatedly poured cold water on his hope.

The ignited passion was extinguished again, and Lin Yuan became more and more suspicious that his life might never return to the octagonal cage.

A huge sense of loss enveloped him, so he wrote in his diary:

"I've been hit hard by the doctor again. There's no hope. I want to die."

"Please don't say 'I want to die' so easily! Do you know how hard it is sometimes for people to just want to live?"

A line of crooked words immediately appeared in front of him. It was the first time he saw Anne's tone so serious.

The scene switches to a hospital where Anne Hathaway is wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown. A large bottle of white liquid is slowly being injected into her body through an infusion port implanted in her left arm.
