Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 609: Want me to sell myself out? Bonfire Party
One hundred million dollars?
Wouldn’t that be more than 8 million RMB?

All they talk about is projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Do they really think that sperm and white sex grow out of the ground?

Even if Lin Yuan was the richest man in the world, he would not look down on 100 million US dollars in cash, not to mention that he could get such a huge sum of money by just taking a few photos, which might take less than a day.

This money-making efficiency is simply incredible!
So Lin Yuan couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is this photo album serious?

There won't be any special terms, right?

Lin Yuan: (ω)
Charlize: "Why are you blushing? Are you thinking about something unhealthy?"

"I'm just seriously considering whether to give a benefit to female fans all over the world." Lin Yuan said solemnly.

Charlize: “…”

Although you are already the richest man in the world, making money is not shameful, especially after you have just put a bridle on yourself and turned yourself into a beast of burden.

Although taking photo albums may be suspected of selling one's body, when body is taken to the extreme it becomes art.

Although……

Damn, I can’t continue making this up. This is just a way of forcing yourself to make money while standing. It’s really ridiculous.

Seeing Charlize's disgusted look, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Do you think I will accept it?"

"I suppose you won't refuse?"

"..."

Charlize also learned bad things and learned to say as she said.

As an assistant, she is not qualified at all. At least GAKKI would never do that.

GAKKI-chan will never let him bear the moral guilt, she will only feel distressed... cough cough...

Lin Yuan stopped teasing Charlize and said with a smile, "Please help me reject it."

"Really refused?" Charlize asked.

"What else? You can't really accept it, right? What kind of level is VOGUE magazine? They actually want to quote me a price? No matter how much the price is, they are wrong the moment they open their mouths." Lin Yuan replied.

"Wrong?" Charlize asked in confusion.

"VOGUE" is a fashion magazine under the American Condé Nast Group. It was founded in 1892 and can be said to be an important indicator in the fashion industry.

As a heavyweight historical magazine, and offering such a high price, it certainly cannot be considered an insult to Lin Yuan. It can be said to be a full expression of respect for Lin Yuan.

Therefore, Charlize was curious why Lin Yuan said that they were wrong to speak up?

Does this mean that Lin Yuan has begun to refuse future foreign business cooperation?
This is not impossible, but it is very important for Charlize to clearly grasp Lin Yuan’s standards.

Lin Yuan pulled Charlize and let her sit on his lap, putting one hand on those long legs that all men could not resist.

The thighs are plump and elastic.

The skin does not have the problem of large pores like Europeans and Americans, but instead has a silky and delicate texture.

This is the ultimate enjoyment for men: holding the power of the world when awake, and lying on the lap of a beautiful woman when drunk.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I have always had two very important identities. One is an action actor, and the other is a businessman or a wealthy man."

Charlize nodded, understanding: "But what does this have to do with rejecting Vogue?"

"Of course I did. You held my hand."

Charlize opened her legs slightly to make it easier for Lin Yuan's hand to reach in.

Lin Yuan continued, "For a long time, I have been strengthening my identity as an actor and trying my best to downplay my identity as a wealthy man."

"I know that the image of a wealthy person represents power and makes the public feel distant. And your profession needs to be more in line with the public," said Charlize.

Although Lin Yuan gained a lot of favor thanks to the rescue operation in Kalonos Cave, he was even given the title of "People's Rich Man" in some places.

But the people’s rich are also rich, and hatred of the rich is part of human nature.

Lin Yuan would never be so self-inflated as to think that fans from all over the world would like him regardless of the consequences.

Once he shows any arrogance or indifference to the suffering of the lower classes, it may be magnified and publicized by many enemies, causing a severe impact on his reputation.

In this world, people who are famous are always surrounded by gossip. To gain wealth and have a very good reputation at the same time is a difficult task that requires you to have both fish and bear's paw.

Therefore, since his debut, Lin Yuan has always been restrained and low-key.

He rarely appears in public, and apart from necessary press conferences, he rarely allows himself to touch the cultural symbols that represent upper-class life.

At the same time, it continues to produce high-quality films that are the best in the industry to win the love of fans.

The effect of this is very obvious. Lin Yuan gives people the impression of being very approachable. Although he is rich, he never puts on airs and does not live a luxurious life. He is approachable and easy to get along with.

But everything has two sides, and doing this has resulted in most people forgetting his wealthy identity.

Only then would VOGUE magazine invite him to shoot a photo album.

According to normal business logic, Lin Yuan's look in "Jungle Bully" made the movie DVD an epic hit, so shouldn't he take advantage of this popularity and shoot a photo album while the iron is hot?
This will not only improve Lin Yuan's image, but also make him a lot of money, which means he can gain both fame and fortune.

But Lin Yuan didn't think so, because he had come this far and had already entered the top circle of power.

It is of positive significance for him to make a movie at this time that makes people admire his courage. After all, it is because of the widespread goodwill he has gained from his movies around the world that his industrial expansion in Africa has been so smooth.

But it would be too embarrassing to produce a photo album that sells erotic images.

In "Jungle Bully", the protagonist is a wild man, so it's okay to show off his muscles.

He went there specially to take a photo album. I guess Lin Yuan’s enemies would die of laughter.

Charlize understood Lin Yuan's meaning and nodded, saying, "I understand. From now on, you'll need two different masks. In front of the public, you'll always be the down-to-earth action star. But in the game of high society, you need to completely change your image."

Lin Yuan said, "That's not the case. It makes me sound like I'm two-faced. I'm always the real me in front of the public. Serving the people and bringing them joy is not shameful at all. I put on an extra mask for those 'high-class people' in the upper class. There's nothing I can do about it. They prefer this way of communicating."

"I will not accept any similar business cooperation in the future. But if there is business cooperation that is people-friendly and public welfare-oriented, please give me more." Lin Yuan said.

"Okay, Gakki and I will help you organize some cooperation invitations in this regard." Charlize said seriously.

"Where are your hands?" Charlize gently patted Lin Yuan's hand.

If this behavior is not stopped, Lin Yuan's hand will touch the secretary's promotion device.

Then the next step might become: sword new new.

Obviously it is not appropriate now, as there is a campfire barbecue party in the evening.

Therefore, Charlize held Lin Yuan's hand and said, "Later, let's talk about it later. Now we should go to the bonfire party. Don't keep everyone waiting."

This bonfire party is not a simple dinner, but a commendation meeting.

In the past few days, the crew members followed Lin Yuan to climb the Yala Snow Mountain. They lived together in silkworm pupa tents and ate canned food.

During the avalanche, everyone tried their best to rescue Lin Yuan who was buried under the snow.

Everyone braved the danger of ice avalanches and successfully completed the filming mission in the high-altitude mountainous areas.

After completing the most challenging filming in such a harsh environment, we definitely need a bonfire party to celebrate and reward everyone's stomachs.

But at the same time, necessary rewards are also indispensable.

Lin Yuan has always been generous in giving material rewards to his colleagues who work hard with him.

So Lin Yuan pulled his hand out from between Charlize's legs and held her hand: "Let's go to the bonfire party."

"Go wash your hands and stop holding my hand like that." Charlize said with disgust.

Lin Yuan: (1`1)
Lin Yuan: (`)
Lin Yuan: (⊙`⊙)
"Do you dislike yourself?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

"You'll need to eat later!"

Charlize was so angry that she pushed Lin Yuan to the sink in the RV, took his hand, and helped him wash carefully.

I squeezed a lot of hand sanitizer to wash off the slipperiness on Lin Yuan's fingertips.

But when the hand sanitizer formed many bubbles while rubbing, the situation seemed even stranger.

It's just like when you're dizzy and foaming at the mouth.

This made Charlize's face turn red.

Seeing Charlize, a young woman, showing such a scene, Lin Yuan found it even more interesting.

I have to say, Charlize is even more charming like this.

For men, shy young women are extremely tempting. If time did not allow it, he would want to take advantage of the opportunity.

It really proves the saying:

The most attractive woman is a young woman with a girlish look, or a young girl with a young woman's look.

If you ask who is the most attractive man to women?
Of course, it’s the dad with a youthful feel, and the boy with the daddy vibe.

Although sparks were about to fly when their eyes met, the time really did not allow it.

So Lin Yuan and Charlize held hands and walked towards the RV door.

When he arrived at the door, Lin Yuan immediately picked up the long camel down coat on the hook and put it on Charlize.

There is heating in the RV, so Charlize and GAKKI-chan will wear less to satisfy Lin Yuan's need to appreciate the "beautiful scenery".

But as soon as you step out of the RV, you will immediately face the outdoor temperature of minus 15 degrees Celsius.

Lin Yuan gently helped Charlize put on her coat and buttoned it up carefully.

From top to bottom, one by one.

This seemingly ordinary action warmed Charlize's heart.

When it comes to buttoning her clothes, she is not a child and can do it herself, but when Lin Yuan helps her do it, Charlize will instinctively feel an irrepressible joy.

If you have a camera that records the conversation between couples 24 hours a day, you will find that most of the time they are talking nonsense.

If you film the interactions between couples 24 hours a day, you will find that most of them are meaningless and disgusting.

But it is these nonsense and meaningless clinging that are the foundation of a couple's relationship bit by bit.

Because I am with you, even if we are talking nonsense and meaningless things, I still feel so happy.

Of course, people who are single will sneer at this behavior, but once he (she) finds his (her) other half, he (she) will immediately enjoy it.

The two underlying logics of human behavior are the true fragrance and the repeater.

After getting dressed, the two walked out of the RV hand in hand and immediately saw a brilliant starry sky in the dark night sky. Under the starry sky, a blazing bonfire illuminated the entire camp with its orange-red flames, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold night.

Everyone's face was flushed and full of joy.

A gust of wind blew by, bringing not the cold but a mouth-watering fragrance.

"It smells so good! Why does the barbecue smell so good?" Charlize asked curiously.

"This is the taste of Chinese barbecue." GAKKI-chan walked over from not far away and said with a smile.

"Chinese barbecue?" Charlize asked.

"Well, we are in the western Sichuan region of China, so of course we have to eat Chinese barbecue." GAKKI nodded and answered cutely.

Before, GAKKI followed Lin Yuan and ate a lot of barbecue from Cherrapunji to Kisangani during filming.

After all, barbecue is the most primitive cooking method of human beings, and there is a tradition of barbecue food all over the world.

In Cherrapunji, there is a unique bamboo barbecue.

In Kisangani, they specialize in grilling meat on volcanic rock slabs.

But all of this pales in comparison to Chinese barbecue.

As one of the world's leading food powerhouses, China is able to come up with new ways to prepare any food, and barbecue is no exception.

GAKKI-chan smiled and explained to Charlize: "The biggest feature of Chinese barbecue is the rich variety of ingredients."

She pulled Charlize to a barbecue grill and said, "Look, there are all kinds of ingredients. There are more than twenty kinds of vegetables, including eggplant, potatoes, beans, cucumbers, leeks, enoki mushrooms, and tofu puffs.

There are more than ten kinds of meat, including beef, mutton, pork, chicken legs and chicken wings.

In addition, there are various seafood such as grilled oysters, grilled abalone, lobster, squid tentacles, giant tiger prawns, etc.

Whatever you like to eat, you can find something you like.”

Charlize's eyes lit up as GAKKI-chan was introduced.

As a European or American, she believed that barbecue was nothing more than roasting beef, mutton, and pork, and at most some vegetables like green peppers and potatoes. However, tonight's barbecue party felt like a gourmet feast.

GAKKI pointed to six whole lambs sizzling on the grill in the distance and said, "There's also a whole roasted lamb over there. We specially invited a local chef to make it. It's crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. You must try some later."

This made Charlize feel that her mouth was even moister.

We have been eating canned food in the snow mountain camp these days. Now, facing so many delicious foods, how can we resist?

Not only did she think so, every crew member in the camp was obviously eager to announce the dinner was served immediately so that they could feast on it.

At this moment, Meng Tao came to the campfire in the center of the camp with a microphone in his hand.

"Cough cough!"

The sound of his coughing test came from the speakers.

I have to say, this opening remark is very Chinese.

"Welcome everyone to tonight's bonfire party. Over the past few days, our team has overcome many difficulties and obstacles and accomplished an excellent job..."

Before he could finish his words, he was immediately interrupted by the booing of the crew members.

"Long story short!"

"You're making an enemy of the entire crew by still talking nonsense at this time!"

Meng Tao said dissatisfiedly: "Who is talking? I am the leader of the company! Aren't you afraid of being bullied?"

"cut!"

"The director is the most powerful person in the crew. He hasn't even spoken, so why are you acting so high and mighty?"

"Coach Meng, you're so powerful! The boss is here tonight. Is this appropriate for you to do?"

The scene erupted in cheers again, and the venue was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing Meng Tao's slightly embarrassed look, the crew burst into laughter again.

Charlize also covered her mouth and laughed non-stop: "Meng Tao is so miserable, won't you speak up for him?"

"Speak up for him? He's deliberately getting criticized. Wouldn't speaking up for him ruin his purpose?" Lin Yuan shook his head.

"Intentional?" Charlize was stunned for a moment, then immediately figured out what was going on.

If we strictly look at his position in the company, Meng Tao is already at the vice president level, an absolute senior executive.

If it were another company, the crew members would never dare to criticize him like this, because Meng Tao really has the power to make things difficult for them.

But Meng Tao is really special in Linyuan's business:

He is not only the person in charge of the company's operations and safety, but also a part of the company culture.

Since Lin Yuan's first film, Meng Tao has always appeared in the behind-the-scenes footage of the film.

Watching the behind-the-scenes footage, Meng Tao's various funny and embarrassing performances have become an important part of the Lin Yuan film experience.

Therefore, Meng Tao has always appeared in a funny image and accepted everyone's jokes and fun.

This did not make Meng Tao become arrogant as his position increased. On the contrary, he enjoyed this way of interacting with everyone.

It is precisely because of this that Meng Tao has become the most popular person in Lin Yuan Pictures besides Lin Yuan.

Both the company and other filmmakers in the industry like Meng Tao very much.

The reason why he can always be the opening guest at various parties and premieres hosted by Lin Yuan is precisely because of his extremely high affinity.

At tonight's bonfire party, Meng Tao's responsibility is to liven up the atmosphere before Lin Yuan comes on stage, so that Lin Yuan can be more effective when he speaks.

Obviously, this goal has now been achieved.

Meng Tao, who was standing in the middle of the venue, said helplessly, "Okay, I know everyone's anxious to eat, so I'll just stop talking. Just skip my speech and move on to the next part."

The next segment is Lin Yuan's speech, if you have the guts, just yell at him!"

After saying that, he pointed at Lin Yuan angrily and said, "Boss, please come up and give me a lecture."

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out in the venue.

Everyone expressed their welcome to Lin Yuan with this behavior, which made Meng Tao jump up and down to express his dissatisfaction, causing another burst of laughter at the scene.

Lin Yuan stood up from beside Charlize and GAKKI-chan, walked to the center of the camp helplessly, and took the microphone handed to him by Meng Tao.

"Thank you all for your applause. It seems that everyone really wants to listen to me. Let me just say a few words." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

Everyone on the field: ()
As we all know, a few simple sentences can take half an hour to say.

Seeing everyone's desperate expressions, Lin Yuan immediately laughed and joked, "It seems that delicious barbecue is more popular than me?"

"No way! Barbecue is precious, but our love for the boss is even more precious!"

A rather "dog-legged"... no, a very smart crew member shouted.

“Our love for barbecue has a limit, but our love for the boss has no limit!”

Another crew member immediately shouted.

"That's right, listening to the Source God speak is more enjoyable than eating a barbecue dinner!"

The field was filled with praise.

Meng Tao: ()
Damn, why don’t you do this to me?
Lin Yuan smiled and pressed his hands down: "Just talk about it, you can't fool me, and you can't fool yourselves."

There was laughter on the field.

Lin Yuan continued, "I really just said three simple sentences."

"First, thank you all for your hard work over the past few days. Together we filmed the thrilling avalanche and completed the truly remarkable climb up the ice wall."

"Second sentence, thank you all for saving me from danger during the avalanche."

"Third, my gratitude is never verbal. I will express it with concrete actions. That's all. Thank you all."

After he finished speaking, the crew members on the scene were stunned.

The three sentences are indeed just three sentences, but what about the following ones?

The following is the most important!

"Source God, we really don't mind you saying a few more words!"

"Yes, yes! We wish you would speak in a long and concise manner!"

Lin Yuan looked at the anxious eyes of the crew members around him and said with a smile, "Hahaha, I won't tease you anymore. If I don't say a few more words, I guess everyone won't be able to eat. It seems that the magic of money is still greater."

Laughter rang out again in the camp.

"Then let me say one more thing. It's not that I'm going back on my word, but you asked me to say it." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"Source God, please tell us quickly, we can't wait any longer!" the crew members shouted.

"I have specially allocated a special bonus of 500 million US dollars to thank you all for your efforts. I wonder if you like this sincerity?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

There are only about a hundred crew members who came to Yala Snow Mountain to participate in the filming.

The 500 million bonus, when distributed to each person, is equivalent to 5 US dollars per person.

In just a few days, there are so many bonuses, how can everyone not be overjoyed.

"I like it! I really like it!"

“We are so satisfied!”

"The Source God is mighty!"

"Long live the Source God!"

"Then let's raise our glasses and have a drink together for this wonderful night!" Lin Yuan said as he took the wine handed to him by GAKKI-chan.

"We are forever loyal to the Source God!"

"loyalty!"

Everyone raised their glasses together.

Huh?
Combined with the lines, it seems to have become a loyalty wine?
