Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 565 Finalizing the Plan, the Difficulties Lin Yuan Faces
1%...

This is the lowest success rate given since Lin Yuan obtained the system.

With this success rate, it's almost like committing suicide.

And for the first time, the system also gave the suggestion to give up.

It seems that this scene cannot be handled recklessly. Fortunately, Lin Yuan still has an ace card that has not been played. If this ace card cannot turn the situation around, then Lin Yuan will decisively choose to give up.

However, all of this will have to wait until Director Cohen and Meng Tao confirm the shooting plan in the hotel later.

Lin Yuan smiled and raised his glass: "I wish our filming goes well."

"Wish us peace." Charlize Theron raised her glass and clinked it with his.

The two drank and chatted, and soon a glass of whiskey was finished.

Seeing that Charlize Theron was still not satisfied, Lin Yuan asked the bartender for another whole bottle of wine and prepared to drink to his heart's content.

A man and a woman drinking alone is a very ambiguous thing.

After the two drank and chatted for a while, the atmosphere became visibly pink.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Charlize Theron's face began to turn red, which made her look particularly charming and attractive with her blonde hair.

This is her most beautiful time. She seemed a little immature in the early years and too mature in the later years. Charlize Theron, who is in full bloom at this moment, truly deserves the title of "goddess".

Under the influence of alcohol, Charlize Theron stared at Lin Yuan with eyes that were almost thread-like.

Any man knows what's going to happen next.

Sure enough, the next moment, Lin Yuan felt a foot under the table, sliding in through his wide trouser leg.

Lin Yuan was wearing baggy cotton trousers today, so the trouser legs were quite wide, and his foot slipped in quite smoothly.

He felt a silky touch on his calf, with a faint warmth and a particularly comfortable feeling of soft flesh.

The image of Charlize Theron's graceful, fleshy black silk soles immediately emerged in his mind.

After this soft and beautiful foot slid into his trouser leg, it did not go deeper. Of course, it could not go deeper. It just stayed on Lin Yuan's calf very measuredly, allowing him to feel the close contact of their skin and experience each other's body temperature.

Is this considered harassment?
Strictly speaking, of course.

But it also depends on who does it. When a stunningly beautiful woman does this, most men will only feel that they have gained something and will not feel offended.

Charlize Theron has always been good at knowing when to stop, and her behavior at this moment is clearly a big step forward.

This action is very ambiguous, but not to the point of being rejected.

She was testing whether Lin Yuan would reject her.

The question is, will Lin Yuan do it?

Lin Yuan looked up and found that Charlize Theron's smile was very unnatural.

She was obviously very nervous and scared, afraid that Lin Yuan would reject her.

No one can act in front of Lin Yuan, he can see that this is Charlize Theron's real reaction.

Lin Yuan didn't say anything, nor did he push her feet away. He let the foot stick to his calf, sending out a burning passion.

Lin Yuan just stared at her with a smile.

Soon her face became even redder and she looked a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, my feet are so cold and about to freeze. I asked you to warm them without your consent. If you're afraid of the cold, I'll take them back."

"Pfft~" Hearing this, Lin Yuan almost spit out the wine from laughing.

He didn't expect that Charlize Theron, who seemed so charming and sophisticated, would come up with such a lame and flawed reason.

What frozen feet?
Are your feet hot or cold? Can't I feel the burning heat coming from the soles of my feet?

What do you mean if I’m afraid of the cold, you’ll take it back?

Is this a question of being afraid of the cold?

I have to say that Charlize Theron's aesthetic taste is completely in line with Lin Yuan's. To say that he has no thoughts about her is to deceive himself.

Lin Yuan found that his aesthetic taste for European and American beauties has always been very consistent:

That is tall figure + blonde hair and blue eyes.

This is true for Anne, Taylor Swift, Betty Boop, and Charlize Theron.

But the attraction of appearance alone cannot completely impress Lin Yuan.

If Charlize Theron's appearance makes her move 20% in Lin Yuan's heart.

The last time they discussed cooperation in New York's Central Park, she signed the contract without hesitation, and even took the initiative to take $900 million less, which completed another 20% of the progress.

During the conversation in the coffee shop today, Charlize Theron, knowing how dangerous the scene was, still insisted on going to the fire scene to shoot, pushing the progress bar forward another 20%.

Lin Yuan's defenses had been loosened step by step by Charlize Theron without him realizing it, so he accepted such close contact at this moment.

If it were any other Hollywood actress who tried to seduce Lin Yuan with her beauty, she would have been thrown out by Lin Yuan long ago.

Lin Yuan took out an agreement from the backpack beside him and handed it to Charlize Theron.

"what is this?"

Obviously, Lin Yuan's behavior surprised Charlize Theron.

We were just flirting nicely, why are you suddenly talking about work?
And my feet are still in your trouser legs! Don't you want to give me some response?

Although she complained in her heart, Charlize Theron still accepted the agreement.

"Equity transfer agreement?" Charlize Theron asked in surprise, "Why are you giving me this?"

"Because you deserve it," Lin Yuan said. "You've won both an Oscar and the Berlin Golden Bear. You voluntarily gave up your signing bonus in the previous agreement, but I can't take advantage of you."

"I thought about it and realized that you might not accept the money directly, so I'll convert it into equity. This equity is not given for free, but comes with exercise conditions. It can be considered a deep binding relationship, and we will prosper together. I think you should be willing to accept this." Lin Yuan said.

The agreement stipulates that Charlize Theron can receive stock rewards worth US$5000 million, US$1 million and US$2 million respectively after completing three performance targets from low to high for starring in Linyuan Pictures' films.

The total amount reached 3.5 million US dollars, which means Lin Yuan’s sincerity is quite sufficient.

With this money, Charlize Theron can retire directly and never have to worry about money again in her life. It can be said that this is an opportunity that any working person dreams of.

Faced with such an opportunity, Charlize Theron didn't even think about it carefully. Instead, she asked directly, "Did they take shares from you?"

they?

Naturally, I am referring to Liu Yufei, Taylor Swift, and GAKKI...

After Charlize Theron asked the question, Lin Yuan suddenly realized that it seemed that none of these women had ever taken any equity from him.

Not only Liu Yufei and GAKKI-chan don't have it, but Gao Yuanyuan, Jia Jingwen, and Annie also don't have it.

Perhaps in the eyes of the boxing fairies of later generations, Lin Yuan's behavior was completely a freeloader behavior of a thief.

You are so rich, but you don’t give any of it to your close partner?

But Lin Yuan is not really stingy. He has wanted to give them shares countless times, but he simply can't!

Lin Yuan was about to answer Charlize Theron, but she spoke first, "I guess you must have given it to them, but they definitely didn't want it! So I don't want it either!"

"How did you guess that?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Because I would do the same, they would definitely do the same." Charlize Theron continued, "Thank you for your gift. The thought is enough. I was very happy when I received your gift, so I was able to muster up the courage today."

Gift?

Lin Yuan suddenly remembered that after finishing the filming task in Tukanba Village, he, GAKKI and Taylor Swift played in Cherrapunji for several days.

GAKKI purchased a lot of local specialties and mailed them to Liu Yufei, Betty and others in the name of Lin Yuan, including Charlize Theron (Chapter 505).

"It's nothing. Compared to the shares I want to give you, those local specialties are just small gifts. Don't take it to heart." Lin Yuan said.

"I don't want equity. If I could exchange it for a gift, could you please raise your legs a little higher right now?" Charlize Theron's face became even redder, and her eyes became wild.

Lift your legs?

Lin Yuan didn't think too much and subconsciously stretched out his legs and lifted them up.

When he lifted his leg, he realized that Charlize Theron's foot was still stuck in his trouser leg.

Who is inserting whom?
This is the opposite of Tiangang!
But the next moment, as Lin Yuan stretched and raised his legs, his trouser legs also became straight and unobstructed.

Charlize Theron's body sank down in the chair she was sitting on.

That foot stretched up along Lin Yuan's trouser leg...

Gan!
I took the initiative to open the empty goal.

Seeing Lin Yuan's complicated expression, Charlize Theron smiled and said, "Annie is right. You really do like the brotherhood!"

"I didn't...hiss..."

"Now you know why I have to wear stockings even though it's so cold, right?"

“You are…oh…”

"Don't talk, just close your eyes and feel it."

……

……

The first thing Lin Yuan did when he returned to the hotel was to quietly change his underwear.

In fact, from a long time ago, he did not reject Charlize Theron's approach, which had already destined what happened today to happen, and also foreshadowed that a deeper bond would inevitably arise in the future.

Of course, the premise is that he can survive the filming of this action scene.

In fact, Lin Yuan was quite conflicted about this scene.

The danger is too high. Even if he uses his trump card, it is still impossible to be sure of success. He will inevitably risk his life.

But he has come to this point, does he really have to fight to the death?

What if something unexpected happens?
How could he be worthy of the people around him?

But Lin Yuan quickly cleared these distracting thoughts from his mind.

It wasn't that he was courting death, but Lin Yuan knew that if he backed down this time, his career would probably be over. In fact, since "The King of Spy Wars", he hasn't created a more visually impactful movie.

Whether it is "The Lin Yuan Couple", "The Legend of Tang Dynasty", or even "Jungle Bully", none of them can essentially crush "The King of Spy Wars".

All I can say is that they are different in subject matter and each one is wonderful.

He hasn't made a breakthrough in a long time...

If Lin Yuan wants to create undisputed higher peaks, he must challenge S-level action scenes. This is the only way for him to defeat himself and reach the top.

If I retreat today because I’m afraid of danger, I don’t care whether the movie can be made better or not.

So when faced with more dangerous business competition in the future, will we retreat because of the danger?
Lin Yuan has always been grateful for having a second life. The only way to live up to this precious life is to move forward courageously without fear of difficulties.

He must try his best to move forward and see how high he can reach, so that he will not regret it when he grows old.

Lin Yuan drew a line for himself in his heart:

As long as the success rate of this S-level action scene is above 50%, I will never back down.

"Knock knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.

Lin Yuan walked to the door, opened it, and saw Charlize Theron standing at the door with a smile.

"Have you changed your underwear?"

"Forehead……"

"What's there to be embarrassed about? I changed my stockings too. I also changed my high heels. The soles of my shoes were sticky and slippery when I came back, and I almost fell several times."

"Let's change the subject and talk about work! The director and Meng Tao will be here soon!"

Seeing Lin Yuan's slightly embarrassed look, Charlize Theron found it even more amusing. Just as she was about to tease him a few more times, there was a knock on the door.

"The director and others are here." Lin Yuan quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

Lin Yuan opened the door, and Director Cohen and Meng Tao walked in, followed by several crew members, carrying a large box.

"Boom!"

The box was placed on the carpet in Lin Yuan's room with a muffled sound. It was obvious that the box was quite heavy. No wonder it took several crew members to carry it in.

After finishing all this, several crew members left, leaving only Lin Yuan, Charlize Theron, Meng Tao and director Cohen in the room.

"What's in this box? It looks very heavy." Charlize Theron asked curiously.

"The most important piece of equipment for the scene we're about to shoot is the fireproof suit," Meng Tao said. "The final version of the fireproof suit has been modified, and there's one for you in it. You can open it and take a look."

"Is there one for me too?" Charlize Theron asked in surprise.

"Of course. How can you get close to the fire without a fireproof suit? Do you want to live?" As he spoke, Meng Tao opened the box, picked up an orange-red fireproof suit, and handed it to Charlize Theron.

Charlize Theron took it with one hand, but the weight immediately caused her hand to sink down.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan reached out quickly and pulled her arm out, so the dress did not fall to the ground.

"This dress is so heavy!" Charlize Theron said in surprise.

"Your set is already a weight-reduced version, but it still weighs 15.6 kilograms. Can you hold on?" Meng Tao asked worriedly.

For a woman, this fireproof suit is indeed quite heavy, and is not inferior to the lightweight version of a full set of Gothic plate armor.

Wearing such heavy fireproof clothing and trudging along the edge of the fire to film is definitely a strenuous job. Meng Tao was really worried whether Charlize could bear it.

But without wearing such fireproof clothing, the danger is too high.

Charlize Theron nodded. "No problem, trust me! Ever since I took on the role in 'King of Spy 2,' I've been doing targeted physical exercise, and my weight has increased from 53 kg to 57 kg."

For Charlize Theron, who is 1 meters tall, 77 kilograms is definitely not fat, but among the many slim Hollywood actresses, she is definitely considered strong.

Charlize Theron looked at her fireproof suit with great interest and asked, "Why is it orange-red? Wouldn't it be easy to blend in with the background color if I were to enter a fire?"

Meng Tao pulled out a piece of orange-red fabric from the corner of the box and handed it to Charlize Theron: "The outer layer of the fireproof suit is made of this flame-retardant fiber."

"Flame-retardant fiber?" Charlize Theron asked.

Meng Tao did not answer directly, but picked up the lighter and lit the orange-red cloth.

The cloth was ignited in an instant, but soon turned into a charred black and emitted a few wisps of black smoke.

"What is this?" Charlize Theron touched the charred fabric with a pen at hand in confusion.

However, it was found that the fabric fibers did not break apart easily like coke, but were still tightly bound together.

Charlize Theron took the lighter from Meng Tao.

"Crack!"

As her thumb pressed the trigger, a flame rose from the lighter again.

Charlize Theron pushes flames onto charred fabric.

This time the cloth could no longer be ignited. No matter how the flame burned, the cloth remained motionless.

"What a great idea! I'll burn myself into charcoal first, and then you won't be able to ignite me again." Charlize Theron sighed.

Meng Tao nodded: "Yes, the reason why this fireproof clothing is orange-red is because the flame retardant substance tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium chloride, abbreviated as THPC, is added to the cotton fiber.

When exposed to high temperatures, this flame-retardant fiber reacts, turning the cotton into non-combustible carbon, which will not burn when exposed to a fire."

"This fireproof suit is amazing!" exclaimed Charlize Theron.

Meng Tao smiled and said, "In fact, the design of fireproof clothing is far more than what you see. In addition to the outermost flame retardant layer of the fireproof clothing, there are also several layers such as anti-melt layer and heat insulation layer designed for different fire hazards.

Wearing this fireproof suit, you can be sure to be safe even if you are in a fire with a temperature of 1000 degrees.

That’s why the weight is 15.6 kg, and the fireproof suits that the director and I wear are even heavier, at 22.8 kg.”

"What about the one at the bottom? It looks very heavy!" Charlize Theron said, pointing to the bottom of the box where a fireproof suit that was obviously specially customized was placed.

She tried to lift the fireproof suit, but found it quite difficult to lift it, let alone wear it while running and filming.

"This fireproof suit is from Linyuan, and it has a double layer of PBI material fireproof and heat-insulating layer." Meng Tao said.

"PBI material?" Charlize Theron asked curiously. It sounded like this material was very powerful.

"PBI, or polybenzimidazole, fireproof clothing made of PBI has a heat deformation temperature of 560°C, a limiting oxygen index of 62, a compressive strength of 490 MPa, a tensile strength of 195 MPa, and a flexural strength of 247 MPa.

Compared with traditional aramid fire-resistant clothing, the comprehensive performance of PBI fire-resistant clothing is improved by 40% while the weight is reduced by 18%.

Lin Yuan said he could definitely handle the load, so we specially made him this double-layer PBI fireproof suit weighing 34.9 kg," Meng Tao explained.

"Wearing this fireproof suit, you can ignore sudden fatal situations such as flash fire and explosion in the fire scene." Meng Tao said again.

"So with this fireproof suit, will Lin Yuan be safer when filming fire scenes?" Charlize Theron asked expectantly.

What she was most worried about was the degree of danger it would be for Lin Yuan to film this scene. If the fire-resistant suit could eliminate the danger, then she could truly rest assured.

Meng Tao shook his head. "Fireproof clothing can only protect against the burning of flames and the high temperatures of a fire. But it can't solve the damage to the respiratory tract caused by the hot air, nor the dehydration caused by the high temperature."

Without the support of an oxygen supply system, wearing this fireproof suit can only last for 2 minutes in a fire scene. Even with an oxygen supply system, it is difficult to last more than 10 minutes.

Having said that, Meng Tao glanced at Lin Yuan and continued, "What's more, this gentleman decided not to use the oxygen supply system and wanted to enter the fire tornado... I don't know what to do."

When Charlize Theron heard Meng Tao's words, her eyes were filled with visibly disappointed.

As the leading actress of "Lord of Spy 2", she has naturally read the script.

This fire scene is the final battle of the movie and also the most exciting climax.

In the play, Lin Yuan chased the villain and came to the edge of the fire.

The final boss defeated by Lin Yuan threw the briefcase that determined the survival of the world into the fire tornado before he died.

Looking at the suitcase being rolled high into the sky, Lin Yuan rushed in without hesitation.

In an instant, he was swept up into the sky hundreds of meters high by the scorching firestorm.

In this scene, Lin Yuan had no respiratory support because his own weight plus the fireproof suit were already too heavy. Adding more weight would prevent him from being swept into the air by the fire tornado.

Therefore, Lin Yuan had no choice but to give up his breathing system. Facing the scorching flame airflow inside the fire tornado, he was unable to breathe and could only complete the entire scene in one breath.

In this scene, although the fireproof suit can protect him from being burned to death, it cannot guarantee that he will be in a desperate situation when facing high temperature and dehydration.

In this scene, he is swept high into the sky without a parachute.

In a fire tornado, parachutes are completely useless. Even if you force them to open, they will be burned to ashes in an instant.

In this scene, Lin Yuan has to face countless life and death moments, and deadly murderous intentions surround him all the time.

No wonder it was rated as an S-level action scene by the system. In a normal action scene, even if it is just one part of it, the level of danger is enough to make people feel despair.

Moreover, Lin Yuan had to perfectly handle all the challenges at once. If he made a mistake in any link, his fate would be the same:
That is death!
Faced with such unprecedentedly dangerous action scenes, can he really complete it?

Lin Yuan stepped forward, picked up his personal life-protection barrier, and silently thought, "System, evaluate the success rate of this scenario under the protection of this special fireproof suit."

The next moment, golden words appeared before him:

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

[The host's success rate is only 11%. It is strongly recommended to give up this action scene! ]

It has increased from 1% to 11%, but the system still recommends giving up.

But Lin Yuan still had one last trick up his sleeve. He opened the long-missed system panel:

[Agility: 29]

[Assignable attributes: 15]

These precious 15 distributable attributes were obtained when he was filming the A-level action scene where he fought Sulu in Shara Village.

Just add all 15 points of allocable attributes to agility.

He can achieve a qualitative change in agility to 30 points!

So, Lin Yuan decisively added all attributes to agility.

[Agility: 29 → 30]
