Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 564 S-level action scene
Charlize Theron walked in wearing a high-necked orange cashmere sweater on her upper body, a gray hip-hugging miniskirt on her lower body, black stockings on her legs, and high heels on her feet.

Seeing this scene, Director Cohen and Meng Tao were stunned.

Although she is in Hollywood, which is full of beautiful women, Charlize Theron, who is 1 meters tall, is definitely a weapon to attract men in this outfit. No man can resist such temptation.

Lin Yuan was also stunned.

But I was not shocked by her beauty, but surprised by her cold resistance.

The temperature outside is now minus 31 degrees Celsius!
Lin Yuan has such a strong physique, but even wearing a down jacket and cotton pants, his hands were already frozen red.

Charlize Theron can wear so little and not only is she not shivering from the cold, but she can also walk around with alluring grace.

Women are truly amazing creatures!

When the blonde Charlize Theron walked over and sat down next to Lin Yuan, he finally had time to appreciate the beauty in front of him.

I have to say she is so beautiful, with that kind of aura and bold and gorgeous beauty.

"Welcome, Ms. Theron. I'm really sorry to have you come to such a cold place," said director Cohen.

"Director, you're so polite. I'm also an actor in 'King of Spy 2', and this is what I should do." Charlize Theron replied with a smile.

After saying that, Charlize Theron turned to look at Lin Yuan: "Why aren't you saying anything? You're just staring at me with your eyes wide open. Are you stupid?"

Hearing this ambiguous tone, Director Cohen and Meng Tao's gossip antennas immediately stood up.

These trivial matters between men and women are definitely a topic of great interest to everyone, regardless of gender, age or status.

Although Lin Yuan doesn't have many women, he is not a monk who doesn't touch sex. Especially in recent years, many of the actresses he has worked with have become his lovers.

Is this Charlize Theron in front of me also having an affair with Lin Yuan?
Seeing the playful looks of Director Cohen and Meng Tao, Lin Yuan felt helpless.

Although he has a good impression of Charlize Theron, they really have no relationship at the moment.

Lin Yuan could only say, "I'm shocked that you're not afraid of the cold. You women are always jumping back and forth between having cold hands and feet in winter and wearing only stockings when going out. I don't even know if you're afraid of the cold or not."

Charlize Theron smiled, like a flower blooming in winter. "Are you concerned about me? I'm cold, of course I'm cold! But thinking about coming to see you, how can I wrap myself up so tightly?"

Just as Lin Yuan was about to answer, Meng Tao and Director Cohen stood up and said goodbye with a strange smile.

"Lin Yuan, let's go back to the hotel first. This is a public place, so it's not convenient to talk about work. We'll go to your room later to discuss the filming plan. By the way, call us when you have a convenient time."

This coffee shop has long been booked by Lin Yuan, so how can it be inappropriate to discuss work?
It was just an excuse, but Lin Yuan didn't stop them from leaving.

The two pushed the door open and walked out. A biting cold wind immediately blew in from the door, making Charlize Theron shiver.

It seems that the beauty is not really afraid of the cold, nor does she like to suffer, she just wants to look better in front of him.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan suddenly felt that his impression of Charlize Theron improved a little bit.

Lin Yuan took off his down jacket and handed it to Charlize Theron. "Even though there's heating in the room, it's still very cold when the door is open. Cover your legs with it."

"Thank you for your concern, I'm very happy!" Charlize Theron took it with a smile and put it on her lap.

If it is a little girl, she might say something pretentious like: There is your body temperature on it, it is so warm.

But Charlize Theron is already a mature woman and is quite experienced in knowing when to take things as they come.

She has always been the one who takes the initiative to create an ambiguous atmosphere, but she will not be too frivolous, just a light touch.

"What would you like to drink?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile, "Hot coffee?"

"No, a whiskey," Charlize Theron replied.

"It's so cold, it's good to drink some wine to warm up the body." Lin Yuan smiled and ordered a glass of wine from the waiter.

Don’t think that there are no strong liquors in coffee shops. In a cold place like Edmonton, having a glass of wine to warm yourself up is a very normal need.

"It's not because I want to warm up, it's because you still owe me a drink," said Charlize Theron.

"Clam?"

"You promised me that we'd have a drink together after 'The Legend of Tang Dynasty' was released. What a liar!" Charlize Theron said dissatisfiedly.

Only then did Lin Yuan remember this incident.

The last time he discussed a contract with Charlize Theron in New York's Central Park, they had agreed to have a drink together.

But after the release of "The Legend of Tang Dynasty", he became busy with various things.

Later, I plunged into Cherrapunji and Kisangani, wasting several months on them, and was unable to fulfill my promise.

This was indeed a broken promise, so Lin Yuan raised his hand and said to the waiter, "Another glass of whiskey."

"Does this make up for it?" Charlize Theron asked with a smile.

"Let's calculate the interest today. We'll have a good drink together some other day." Lin Yuan said.

"Some other day?" It's rare for Charlize Theron to be so aggressive.

"We are about to shoot a movie together, aren't there plenty of opportunities?" Lin Yuan said.

"Don't say that! Especially before you shoot this scene!" Charlize Theron said nervously.

Seeing her concerned look, Lin Yuan immediately understood what was going on:

Indeed, before filming such a dangerous scene, saying such words felt like setting a flag.

Although Lin Yuan's physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, he would not say things like "I will retire after this scene" or "Don't worry, we will have plenty of opportunities in the future" before filming.

There is no need to set a flag for yourself, although Lin Yuan doesn't really believe in such things.

"Okay, thank you for your concern." Lin Yuan looked at Charlize Theron sincerely.

Looking directly into Lin Yuan's sincere gaze, Charlize Theron was a little dazed for a moment and hurriedly avoided their eye contact.

As soon as she dodged, Charlize Theron cursed herself in her heart:

Such a good opportunity to make eye contact and enhance the ambiguity was ruined by myself?
I'm not a 16-year-old girl anymore, why would I be shy?

What she didn't know was that no matter how old a woman is or how many emotional experiences she has, as long as she is in front of the man she likes, she will instinctively be shy and her heart will beat fast.

"I heard that you went to see the filming site today? How did you feel?" Charlize Theron started another topic in a panic.

"Well, we were just returning from the fire scene when you got off the plane." Lin Yuan pulled out a map from his pocket and opened it, pointing to a mountainous area 40 kilometers north of Edmonton. "This is the initial shooting location we chose. The fire is burning vigorously here, and the terrain with crisscrossing valleys is exactly what we need."

At this point, Lin Yuan paused and said, "This scene is a bit dangerous. I suggest you don't shoot it on location. You don't have many scenes, so it can be achieved through post-production synthesis. This might even produce better results."

Charlize Theron was resolute and resolute: "You are not afraid to rush into the sea of ​​fire. I am only at the edge of the fire. Why should I retreat?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "No, Miss Theron..."

"Call me Charlize!"

"Okay, Charlize. You don't know how dangerous a wildfire is! You think that as long as you don't get close to the edge of the fire, there will be no danger. But that's not the case at all." Lin Yuan said seriously.

Seeing Charlize Theron's puzzled expression, Lin Yuan continued, "The wildfires in Canada are completely different from those elsewhere. Otherwise, why do you think the Canadian government didn't put out the fires, even though they had been burning for such a long time and covering such a large area, but instead watched them spread?"

"Why?" Charlize Theron suddenly realized the problem. "Yes, the fire is so serious and has burned so much precious forest resources. Why don't they put out the fire?"

"Because it can't be saved, it really can't be saved! Such wildfires are difficult to put out in any country in the world. Even a big Eastern country known for its mobilization capabilities would probably find it difficult to do so," said Lin Yuan.

"Really?" Charlize Theron asked in surprise.

"Well, don't make a hasty decision to go to the scene for filming. I must let you know the danger you will face."

Lin Yuan took out a stack of photos taken today and just developed and handed them to Charlize Theron.

When she saw the first photo, she was immediately stunned:
The scene in the photo looks like the end of the world. The fire wall is more than 40 meters high, as high as a 13-story building, and its width is endless, as if it stretches to the end of the world.

In front of this enormous wall of fire, the world seemed to be left with only flames, and everything would be burned to ashes.

Although it was noon when the photo was taken, the sky was not bright at all. The toxic smoke dyed the sky orange, as if the end of the world had come.

Lin Yuan said: "This is the huge wall of fire at the edge of the fire. Even from more than 500 meters away, you can already feel the scorching heat coming towards you, making it impossible to get any closer."

"Is this why firefighters can't put out forest fires?" Charlize Theron finally understood why no one went to put out forest fires.

Lin Yuan nodded. "Yes, we can't get any closer than 500 meters. Even if the fireproof suit can withstand it, breathing such scorching air will cause direct burns to the lungs and ulcers in the esophagus and throat.

Therefore, the firefighters couldn't get close at all, and at such a long distance, the fire hoses couldn't reach at all." "It's terrible!" Charlize Theron exclaimed.

Lin Yuan shook his head: "No, you only understand less than one tenth of how terrible it is."

"Less than one-tenth?" Charlize Theron asked in disbelief. "Such a terrifying wall of fire, a life-forbidden zone that's impossible to approach, and this is less than one-tenth of its terrifying extent?"

Lin Yuan asked, "Guess where this wall of fire appeared?"

"Where did he appear? What do you mean? Didn't you go to check the photos taken at the fire scene?" Charlize Theron asked puzzledly.

Lin Yuan said: "This wall of fire suddenly appeared behind us during our exploration."

When Charlize Theron heard Lin Yuan’s words, she felt her hair stand on end!

She immediately imagined the fear and despair you would feel when you cautiously approach a fire scene to investigate, trying to maintain a safe distance, and suddenly a continuous wall of fire appears behind you.

"Don't worry, we were lucky and found a gap to escape, otherwise we wouldn't be able to appear in front of you." Lin Yuan said.

"How did the wall of fire suddenly appear behind you? Why did it burn so fast?" asked Charlize Theron.

"The United States is located in a temperate zone, with a relatively large number of broadleaf forests. When a broadleaf forest fire occurs, the fire usually burns from the trunk to the ground, and then spreads through the ground, which slows the spread of the fire.

Canada, on the other hand, is dominated by coniferous forests, where fires typically spread directly from the treetops. A single burning tree acts like a torch, instantly igniting the entire surrounding area. "Lin Yuan said.

Charlize Theron nodded. "I understand, but that only explains why the fire spread so quickly. But how did the flames start behind you? Could someone have deliberately started it?"

"Of course not, look at this." Lin Yuan handed over the second photo.

I saw a huge fire tornado rising into the sky.

Surrounding this terrifying fire tornado that looked like a fire demon, a large number of sparks and burning dead branches and leaves were flying in the air.

Lin Yuan said: "The intense burning flames will cause the airflow in the center of the fire to rise high into the sky, forming a low-pressure center near the ground, which will cause the surrounding airflow to rush towards the center of the fire.

Under the influence of the Coriolis force, the air flow sucked into the center of the fire will form a huge fire tornado!
Fire tornadoes can throw sparks and burning branches several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers away, which is how the wall of fire behind us came about."

After hearing Lin Yuan's explanation, Charlize Theron immediately understood what he wanted to say:
Once you enter the fire area, there is no such thing as a safe zone.

Even if your location is temporarily safe, the fire tornado can easily cut off your retreat.

If you are unlucky, you can only say goodbye to this world.

Lin Yuan continued, "The danger of the fire tornado doesn't end there. As the flames burn, the fire tornado will continue to move.

Once the bottom of the fire tornado is blocked..."

"What will happen?" asked Charlize Theron.

Lin Yuan raised his arms and made a falling motion, saying, "If the bottom of a fire tornado is blocked, it will tilt and collapse. When a fire tornado several kilometers high falls, the scorching air will directly turn the ground into scorched earth.

The scariest thing is that you can’t predict whether or not a fire tornado will fall, or where it will fall.”

Charlize Theron understood that this meant that as long as she came to the fire scene, even if she hid a few kilometers away where she thought she was safe.

But if something unexpected happens, the fire tornado will fall towards her...

There is no escape!

Charlize Theron fully understood why Lin Yuan repeatedly emphasized the danger of this scene and kept persuading her not to go.

She asked helplessly: "Why are the wildfires in Canada so terrible? There is simply no answer."

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "Actually, there was a solution, but it was ruined by those environmentalists."

"Environmentalism caused the wildfires?" Charlize Theron was even more confused.

This is quite complicated, so Lin Yuan could only try to explain it to her. In simple terms:
Canada has too many trees, which makes forest fire prevention in Canada the most difficult in the world.

Canada only accounts for 2% of the world's land area, but has more than 3200 billion trees, accounting for 10% of the world's total and 2.5 times the tree resources of China.

If calculated on a per capita basis, China has 100 trees per capita, while Canada is estimated to have 9000 trees per capita.

What's more, 90% of Canada's population is concentrated within 250 kilometers of the Canada-US border.

The forest area in the north is uninhabited, so there are naturally no roads, and heavy fire-fighting equipment cannot enter at all.

Therefore, wildfires in many areas of Canada have never been extinguished, but have died out naturally after burning an area.

Canada enters the fire season early in February every year.

Logically speaking, autumn and winter are the peak fire seasons, but Canada has its own special geographical conditions, which is the foehn effect.

The so-called foehn wind refers to the warm and humid wind from the Pacific Ocean that blows towards the North American continent and is lifted by the Rocky Mountains running from north to south.

The water vapor rises west of the Rocky Mountains, where it is pressurized and cooled, causing rain and snow to drain away the moisture.

When arriving at the vast virgin forest area of ​​Canada west of the Rocky Mountains, it enters a downhill state, while the pressure decreases and the temperature increases, turning into a strong, hot and dry airflow.

In the most extreme cases, it only takes three minutes to raise the temperature of a large area by 30 degrees!
This kind of foehn wind is also called "snow-eating wind" by the locals.

50 cm thick snow can be melted in 8 hours, with a melting speed of more than 6 cm per hour!

(In case the kids in the south don't understand, this thick snow would take about three days to melt away in the sun.)
The snow has melted, the ground has dried up, the trees have not yet turned green and have not started to grow juicy leaves, and the ground is covered with dead branches and fallen leaves. This is the most dangerous time.

Most of Canada's forests are coniferous forests, with the main tree species being fir and pine, whose bark and branches have extremely high oil content.

It is very easy to ignite, and just a small spark can burn the entire tree.

Even if you put out the fire, it may not be all right.

Because a large amount of dark fire and high-temperature gas are hidden underground, as long as a little bit of oxygen penetrates into it, it will immediately be rekindled!
It is precisely because of this that Canada has more than 3000 forest fires a year!

This is definitely not a fire that can be extinguished with the current level of human technology.

After hearing Lin Yuan's explanation, Charlize Theron sighed, "No wonder fires like this are impossible to put out. We can only let them consume the forest. Why don't they cut down the firebreaks?"

As soon as she said this, Charlize Theron slapped her head. "I completely forgot about fire tornadoes. They can ignite even kilometers or even dozens of kilometers away. What's the point of firebreaks?"

"But you only told me why there is no solution to the Canadian wildfires, but you didn't tell me what it has to do with environmentalists," Charlize Theron asked.

Lin Yuan said, "Because the only viable fire prevention solution is to proactively burn a forest before a fire breaks out. Use 'controlled burns' to combat forest fires."

"Controlled burn?" asked Charlize Theron.

"Before the dry season arrives, we proactively set fire to a section of the forest, removing dead trees and burning the dead branches and leaves on the ground. The flames won't spread easily, but they can effectively remove the fuel from the fire."

"When the dry season arrives, the fire area becomes manageable due to the reduction in combustible materials," said Lin Yuan.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Charlize Theron immediately understood: "I understand. In the eyes of environmental protection organizations, forests are protected objects. How can they be burned on their own initiative?
Besides, there are so many cute little animals in the forest. If you burn the whole mountain, even if the animals are not killed, they will be homeless!

You say you want to use 'controlled burns' to fight wildfires, and the next moment environmental groups will take to the streets to protest and bring you down!"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, Canadian politicians simply don't dare to offend the political correctness of "environmental protection". Their sense of responsibility cannot guarantee that they will not lose their official hats.

If any official dares to propose this plan, the headline of tomorrow's news will probably be a picture of the charred corpse of a small animal in a wildfire, with the title: Ugly human nature, we are not afraid of natural disasters but man-made disasters!
This official's political career is likely to end soon."

Charlize Theron sighed deeply, "It's so frustrating. There are so many things we know are right, but we simply can't do them. But it's precisely because of their arrogance that we had the opportunity to use this wildfire to film an unprecedented and exciting action scene."

Hearing Charlize Theron's words, Lin Yuan said helplessly, "After all I've said, you're still determined to go with me to the filming?"

Charlize Theron nodded vigorously: "You dare to take the risk to shoot in the fire scene and perform even more dangerous actions, how can I only care about my own safety?
How can I get close to you if I don’t go through the ups and downs with you?
As a deserter, I will always be at a distance from you, and I will never be able to get close to you again."

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "You really don't need to go to this extent."

Charlize Theron just stared at him without saying a word, but the determination in her eyes told Lin Yuan the answer.

So Lin Yuan could only sigh and said, "I'll ask Meng Tao to prepare a fireproof suit for you. Be sure to pay attention to safety."

"Okay! No matter how dangerous it is, I will go with you." Charlize Theron replied.

Is it dangerous?
It is indeed quite dangerous, unprecedentedly dangerous!
At this moment, a golden system text appeared on Lin Yuan's retina:

[This action scene is S level difficulty! Extremely dangerous! !]

[The host's success rate is only 1%. It is strongly recommended to give up this action scene! ]
