Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 598 Arrival at Youcuo Lake

Saragama was driving, and Lin Yuan slept all the way in the back seat, resting his head on Liu Yufei's round thighs.

When the Mercedes-Benz nanny car arrived at the airport, Lin Yuan got out of the car and was already full of energy.

Well, literally full of energy.

(ω)
Although it is highly likely that you won’t need it, it’s still better to be prepared.

Three monks can't drink water, and with so many women gathered together, he won't have any chance.

He once again boarded the Boeing 6.5-747ER worth $400 million and met the women who had been waiting for a long time in the spacious cabin conference hall.

Seeing the beauties in the conference room, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh: Women are such wonderful creatures, each one is beautiful in her own way.

Even Liu Yufei cannot be beautiful alone. The spring scenery in the garden is so beautiful that it is hard to suppress it.

Looking at them, Lin Yuan felt happy both physically and mentally, and he believed he could live many more years.

The topic after the meeting, of course, was Lin Yuan's public report on his thrilling journey 3000 meters underground.

During the period, the footage shot by his head-mounted camera was also played:

The bottomless black "abyss", the thorn-filled "road of pain", the "birth canal" that makes it difficult to breathe...

When these scenes appeared in front of the women, their expressions became solemn.

Thinking that Liu Yufei had actually entered the Kalonos Cave and had gone through so much danger, GAKKI, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but hug her.

Betty's eyes were shining, and she was obviously very interested in this thrilling journey.

Seeing Betty's expression, Lin Yuan immediately said, "Don't go into the Kalonos Cave. Even I can't guarantee that it's absolutely safe to enter. If something unexpected happens and you get trapped in the cave, I won't be able to do anything either."

After saying that, Lin Yuan continued to tell what happened next.

Even Liu Yufei had never experienced the journey from the temporary camp to the end.

When the dark underwater scene appeared in front of the women, they could feel the fear in the cold and dark waterway through the picture.

This is a scene that can awaken the instinctive fear in everyone's heart.

The sight of Lin Yuan squeezing and rubbing forward bit by bit in channel F made them feel like they were suffocating.

The last video shows Lin Yuan struggling to push forward at the "gate of hell".

"Crack!"

The sound of broken bones was particularly clear in the dark and silent cave.

"Lin Yuan! Your bones are broken? Why didn't you tell me?" Taylor Swift immediately jumped out and shouted, while her hand touched Lin Yuan's waist and abdomen.

Lin Yuan held her hand and said, "I'm fine now. You all know how quickly my body recovers."

Everyone present knew this secret, but they had forgotten it just now out of worry.

After telling the story of the Kalonos Cave rescue, Lin Yuan hugged them one by one.

This was the tacit understanding they had established before:
He can do what he thinks is necessary, even if it is dangerous.

But they must also know what exactly happened.

What happened next was...very simple.

There is no way to be unnatural. With so many people sleeping in the same quilt, Lin Yuan still can't do it.

Everyone had a meal together at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and then watched a movie in the theater.

During this period of time, the special plane had already flown across the Atlantic Ocean.

After arriving at the New York airport, Betty, Anne and Taylor got off the plane.

They were all given a lot of work by the hands-off boss Lin Yuan, and they had been away from work for several days, so their phones were already ringing non-stop.

After refueling and replenishing supplies, the special plane took off again and flew directly to Yanjing.

In Yanjing, Liu Yufei, Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen got off the plane.

In the end, only GAKKI and Charlize were left to accompany Lin Yuan to fly to Shu City.

The two martial arts competitions in Japan have ended, and GAKKI-chan happily returned to her assistant position.

Charlize Theron, who will be filming the scene of climbing the Yala Snow Mountain with Lin Yuan next, naturally went along as well.

When the number of people decreased, the originally simple atmosphere immediately became vulgar.

At first it was just:
Later it became: 娚, female
Later upgraded to:
In short, this kind of behavior would have been considered a sign of a tyrannical ruler in ancient times.

When the special plane arrived at Shudu Shuangliu International Airport, Lin Yuan waited for more than an hour before getting off the plane.

From then on, the king no longer attended court early in the morning, which was indeed the behavior of a tyrant!
When Lin Yuan came out of the VIP channel, countless fans holding welcome banners and flowers stood on both sides of the road enthusiastically to welcome his arrival.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

In his previous life, he had seen such scenes on TV many times, usually when welcoming foreign dignitaries.

But in this life, it happened to him, making him feel a strong sense of unreality.

After interacting with the fans who came to pick them up at the airport for a while, local officials came forward to express their welcome and arranged reception.

The officials were so enthusiastic that Lin Yuan felt a little uncomfortable.

After the release of "The Legend of Tang Dynasty", Chang'an's cultural tourism became completely popular, not only attracting a large number of domestic tourists, but also the number of foreign tourists increased tenfold in just one year, and is still rising wildly.

This phenomenon has made officials from all over the country extremely jealous.

Which place doesn’t want Lin Yuan to come and film?

Especially in a city like Shu, which already has rich and distinctive tourism resources, the enthusiasm of local officials towards Lin Yuan is completely understandable.

Although the local officials were very enthusiastic, it was really uncomfortable to have dinner with them. It was not that they would use the drinking culture to PUA him, but with Lin Yuan's current wealth and status, there were not many people who could force him to do something he didn't want to do.

However, this kind of occasion full of interest exchange is really hard for Lin Yuan to like.

After promising to help promote tourism in Sichuan Province and making an investment, the owner was finally satisfied, and Lin Yuan was finally able to get away safely.

Shu City is definitely worth a visit. The Wuhou Temple, hot pot, and giant pandas are all places Lin Yuan wants to experience with GAKKI and Charlize.

But he decided to put these trips after the filming of the movie. At this time, Director Cohen had already set up a camp with the crew members at the foot of the Yala Snow Mountain, waiting for them to come and shoot.

Lin Yuan couldn't do such a thing as leaving the crew members in a camp at an altitude of 4000 meters and taking the beautiful women to travel around Shu City.

So, Lin Yuan drove a Land Rover, taking GAKKI and Charlize with him, and Saragama followed in an RV, and the two cars headed towards western Sichuan.

Yala Snow Mountain is located in western Sichuan. The peaks are arranged in a "品" shape. The main peak is 5820 meters above sea level. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, which makes it look particularly sacred.

Therefore, it is one of the four sacred mountains recorded in the "King Gesar" and is known as the "White Yak of the East".

To go from Shu City to Yala Snow Mountain, you take National Highway 318. After entering the mountainous area, you need to take a dirt road. The whole journey is 400 kilometers.

This journey was quite difficult to make. Even in later times, it would take nearly 6 hours. Now the road conditions were even worse. The entire journey took Lin Yuan and the others nearly 7 hours.

Fortunately, they set out early in the morning after resting for a night in Shu City.

When Lin Yuan and others drove to Tagong Grassland northwest of Yala Snow Mountain, it was just after 2 p.m., the time of the day with the best light and view.

"Lin Yuan, look! The Raya Snow Mountain in the distance is so beautiful!" Charlize Theron exclaimed in the car.

"What a joke!" GAKKI-chan couldn't help but burst out in her native language in amazement.

In the distance, the Yala Snow Mountain stands majestic and tall, so holy and pure that it makes people feel ethereal and shocked.

Looking up from the foot of the mountain, you can see the towering peaks shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

As the altitude increases, the temperature gradually decreases and the vegetation on the entire mountain also undergoes significant changes.

From dense forests to sparse bushes, to bare rocks and mountain tops covered with snow all year round, a distinct vertical natural zone landscape is formed, where temperate and frigid landscapes converge.

At this moment, the Tagong grassland where Lin Yuan and others are located is the best viewing spot for overlooking the Yala Snow Mountain, allowing them to see the magnificence of this sacred mountain at a glance.

"I finally understand why this mountain is considered a sacred mountain. It is so beautiful and holy," said Charlize.

"I think the Yala Snow Mountain is much more beautiful than Mount Fuji in Japan." GAKKI said seriously.

"Haha, if your compatriots heard what you said, you would probably be scolded to death." Lin Yuan smiled and touched her head.

Lin Yuan knew that GAKKI-chan was not trying to please him by flattering him, but she really meant it.

A few years ago, when they visited Mount Fuji together, GAKKI-chan expressed that she felt Mount Fuji was too boring.

Her original words at that time were: It is beautiful, but lacks soul.

The Chinese people’s aesthetic appreciation of mountains emphasizes that “when viewed from the side, they look like ridges; when viewed from the front, they look like peaks; and when viewed from far and near, they look different at different heights.” They like scenery to be multifaceted, to be worthy of exploration, and to stand the test of time.

Mount Fuji is a "standard mountain". No matter from what angle or how many times you look at it, it looks the same and you can see the end at a glance.

Although both are snow-capped mountains, Lin Yuan also feels that Yala Snow Mountain is far superior to Mount Fuji.

The Yala Snow Mountain not only surpasses Mount Fuji when viewed from a distance, but also when you walk into the mountain and experience it up close, the Yala Snow Mountain still has an absolute advantage.

Lin Yuan smiled and continued, "When we get into the mountains, you'll see even more beautiful scenes. Melted water from the glaciers cascades down from the mountaintops, forming spectacular waterfalls. These waterfalls sparkle in the sunlight, like the Milky Way falling from the sky."

The meltwater from the glaciers flows down into the mountains, forming alpine lakes that sparkle like gemstones, a truly breathtaking sight.

After hearing Lin Yuan’s description, Charlize and GAKKI couldn’t help but feel fascinated.

"Director Cohen placed the crew by Youcuo Lake, where the scenery is super beautiful. The color of the lake changes gradually from the lakeside to the center, from light yellow to emerald green to lake blue. It is as beautiful as a painting." Lin Yuan continued.

"That's great. This filming trip is such a happy one." Charlize Theron said happily.

She is already a bright and beautiful woman, and she is even more stunning and charming when she smiles.

"Don't be happy too soon. The Yala Snow Mountain is indeed beautiful, but this beauty is forged by deadly dangers," said Lin Yuan.

"I know this may be the most dangerous snow mountain. No one has ever successfully reached the summit." Charlize Theron nodded.

For more than a month, Lin Yuan lay at home "pretending to be sick", but she had been undergoing arduous special training.

From mountaineering, climbing to physical training, snow mountain survival, and disaster response, all of this knowledge is learned.

Charlize didn't want to be a burden to Lin Yuan when filming this scene, so she did her homework in all aspects.

Therefore, she is well aware of the dangers of the Yala Snow Mountain.

In history, no mountaineering team has ever successfully reached the summit of Yala Snow Mountain, and several mountaineering teams have failed in recent years.

For example, in 1999, the famous Japanese expedition led by Kazuo Yamagishi attempted to reach the summit but failed.

In 2002, two senior climbers from the Royal Mountaineering Society of Great Britain also failed in the challenge.

In November 2003, the South Korean university mountaineering team also failed.

The attempts of these three mountaineering teams can be said to have been complete failures, and they were not even able to reach the top of the mountain, which is 900 meters.

They failed before they even reached the glacier cliff that Lin Yuan was going to challenge.

Failed in the previous 70-degree steep glacial canyon.

Fortunately, they gave up early. If they had continued to move forward, casualties would have been inevitable.

In response to Charlize's concerns, Lin Yuan comforted her, "Don't worry, with me here, we will succeed. Not only will we reach the top of the mountain, but we will also be able to capture the most perfect footage."

Charlize nodded, feeling more relieved.

When others say this, it is just verbal comfort, more form than substance.

When Lin Yuan said this, he really did what he said, and he backed it up with his strength.

After gazing at the beautiful scenery of Yala Snow Mountain for more than ten minutes, Lin Yuan continued driving forward.

The road leading to the crew's camp will pass through Youcuo Wetland. Although this section of the road is a bumpy dirt road, it is the only one, so there is no need to worry about getting lost.

It was not difficult for Lin Yuan to pass through driving his Land Rover, but it was not so easy for Saragama behind him. After all, the RV was much heavier and it was quite difficult to move forward on such a bumpy and muddy road.

At one point, he wanted to exchange driving positions with Saragama, but thinking that doing so might hurt Saragama's self-esteem, Lin Yuan decided to let him solve the problem himself if he didn't ask for a team.

Fortunately, Saragama's driving skills are very good, even quite good. He quickly adapted to the road conditions and caught up in the RV.

It seems that having fought in remote and backward areas for many years, he has also mastered the skill of driving in harsh road conditions.

After overcoming the difficult mountain roads, Lin Yuan and others finally arrived at the crew camp on the shores of Youcuo Lake at around four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Welcome, great hero!" Director Cohen stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

"Director, thank you for your hard work!" Lin Yuan hugged him.

He and director Cohen haven't seen each other for more than a month.

After that stunning fire tornado scene, Director Cohen went straight to the Yala Snow Mountain after attending a press conference, where he began camp construction and preliminary preparations for filming. He even didn't attend the Oscars ceremony where Lin Yuan angrily overturned the table.

This also caused him to miss a lot of wonderful shows, which made him feel quite regretful.

"It's been a short time since we last met, and you've already caused so much trouble. When you have time, tell me in detail what happened," said Director Cohen.

"No problem, but there's nothing much to say about Oscar's incident. I'll find time to talk to you in detail about the Caronos Cave incident. You must not learn from Director Johnston. If you create such a crisis, I can't guarantee that I can rescue you next time." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"What are you worried about? I'm different from Director Johnston. He always feels that he lacks a masterpiece and wants to give his career a perfect end. But do I need it? After the filming of "King of Spy" is completed, two of the top three movies in the world box office will be shot by me!" Director Cohen said proudly.

Lin Yuan knew that he was not seeking credit for himself, but was using this method to reassure himself.

So Lin Yuan said, "Then I would like to congratulate you in advance for regaining the box office crown.

However, in order to achieve this goal, we must first solve the current shooting work.

Meng Tao will arrive a little later than me. After he arrives and confirms that all the shooting plans are OK, shall we start shooting? "

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Director Cohen's expression became more serious.

He said, "Lin Yuan, there was a very heavy rainstorm here in the Yala Snow Mountain a few days ago. The warm and humid air currents have been particularly active these days. I'm a little worried."

"It's all my fault. I was injured and recuperating for more than a month, and then I was delayed for more than ten days in the Kalonos Cave, which caused the rainy season here." Lin Yuan replied.

Before we knew it, it is already May, and "Jungle Bully" will soon be released in North America during the summer vacation starting in May.

As for the Yala Snow Mountain, the warm and humid air currents from the southwest are also beginning to become strong and active, which will bring a lot of precipitation and usher in the rainy season here.

Overhearing the conversation between the two, Charlize Theron interrupted and asked, "Director, I don't quite understand. What does this mean?"

"This means that the difficulty and danger of filming this scene will be higher than before." Director Cohen explained in detail: "Rainwater will form a large amount of ice on the top of the snow-capped mountains.

The new ice layer formed by warm and humid air currents, hanging on the old ice layer, is quite unstable.

This will further reduce the stability when ice hooking."

"But isn't it the snowmelt season now? How can new ice be formed?" Charlize Theron asked curiously.

"Snowmelt occurs on the mountainside and below. The latitude and altitude of Yala Snow Mountain make it a year-round snow mountain, so the ice and snow from the mountainside to the top will not melt," explained director Cohen.

"The director's words were a bit euphemistic. Let me add something. The arrival of the rainy season not only makes climbing the ice wall more dangerous, we may even encounter the risk of avalanches." Lin Yuan said.

"Avalanche?" Charlize Theron couldn't imagine what this had to do with an avalanche.

Lin Yuan took a climbing map of Yala Snow Mountain from Director Cohen and opened it.

He pointed to an area up the mountainside, close to the ice wall, and said, "This is the snow area, with a lot of snow. Normally, avalanches are not likely to occur because the slope is relatively gentle.

But after the heavy rain a few days ago, the danger has skyrocketed.”

Seeing that Charlize Theron was still confused, Lin Yuan asked, "Have you heard of wet avalanches? Those who often experience avalanches know that wet avalanches are the most dangerous natural disaster."

"Wet avalanche?" Charlize asked.

"Well, normally, when an avalanche occurs, if the snow is soft and dry, there is a certain chance of survival even if people are buried under the snow.

"Because the soft snow isn't particularly heavy, it won't crush you. It also has a lot of air space, so the oxygen content beneath the snow is high, so you won't suffocate," said Lin Yuan.

"That's true. I know of many cases where people were successfully rescued and survived after avalanches." Charlize nodded.

Lin Yuan continued, "But wet avalanches are different. They often occur after a heavy rainstorm, when rainwater seeps into the snow and freezes. If an avalanche occurs at this time, it's no longer the soft snow that buries you.

Instead, it's the thick layer of snow mixed with ice debris, like ice sludge, that presses down on you, making it hard to breathe. Therefore, the mortality rate from a wet avalanche can be more than ten times that of a dry avalanche.

Charlize Theron felt a chill after hearing Lin Yuan's explanation.

Isn’t this the snow mountain version of a mudslide?

Once the soft snow turns into ice mud, its power will be no less than that of a mudslide.

Charlize Theron knows that most people who are engulfed by mudslides are not drowned by the mudslides. Instead, in most cases, they are directly crushed to death by huge rocks and other objects carried by the mudslides.

The same is true for wet avalanches. In the torrent of ice and snow, the ice spikes can pierce people, and the rocks carried by them can also smash people's heads.

Even if you managed to escape this disaster, you would be buried under the wet avalanche and die within minutes.

Thinking of this, Charlize Theron couldn't help but sigh that Lin Yuan's team was really professional.

Any danger that may occur during the shooting process can be warned in the first time.

This is not just the case today. When filming the forest fire scene before, the team also prepared fire-resistant clothing with very strong protective capabilities and accurately predicted the emergence of a fire tornado.

If Lin Yuan had not chosen to rush into the fire tornado instead of choosing the inevitable, the danger of filming that scene would have been greatly reduced.

This is the embodiment of team capabilities.

"Do you have a plan for this situation?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Yes! We are trying to actively trigger avalanches and use drones to actively peel off weak ice layers. These actions are being communicated with local authorities and have been approved," said Director Cohen.

Charlize Theron felt much more relieved after hearing the director's answer.

If you are worried about an avalanche, you can take the initiative to create one. After releasing the energy, the stability will naturally increase significantly.

But after hearing Director Cohen's answer, Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "That's not feasible. Let's prepare a backup plan. The local authorities won't approve it. Even if they do, we can't do it this way."
