Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 642: An opportunity to subvert the industry?

"Please allow me, on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Virginia, to once again express my respect for Lin Yuan."

After saying that, Lieutenant Colonel Louis turned to Lin Yuan again and saluted solemnly.

"Clatter, crash, crash!"

There was thunderous applause at the press conference.

All the reporters in the audience stood up from their chairs and applauded wildly. Everyone was expressing their sincere respect for the hero in this way.

Human beings' reverence for heroes transcends race and culture.

Lin Yuan's performance in this accident is definitely worthy of the word "hero".

He deserved and deserved the thunderous applause from the audience.

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

It wasn't because of the applause from the audience, but because he was very happy to see that his goal was achieved.

The most important purpose of today's press conference is to "characterize" the accident.

Only by making a favorable "characterization" in advance can his enemies not take advantage of the situation. This is crucial for Lin Yuan himself, as well as Lieutenant Colonel Louis and Lieutenant General Jin.

Therefore, Lin Yuan’s method was to not reason but to use stories to guide emotions.

Lieutenant Colonel Louis did not seriously analyze the cause of the accident, to prove how the choice of route was correct, how encountering the "sea cliff" was inevitable, nor did he prove how dangerous the speed of falling when encountering the "sea cliff" was, and whether there were any mistakes in the performance of the officers and soldiers of the Virginia.

From a technical point of view, these issues are of course crucial, but if you really try to argue about them, you will be asking for trouble.

It is very difficult, even almost impossible, for you to prove that you have not made any mistakes.

No one can withstand being criticized under a magnifying glass.

Don't preach, use stories to guide emotions.

In his narration, Lieutenant Colonel Louis skipped all the technical issues mentioned above and focused on how dangerous the accident was and the dilemma everyone faced after it happened.

This immediately puts all the listeners in the situation.

Everyone put themselves in the other person's shoes and found themselves in a dilemma.

At this time, the story of how Lin Yuan stepped forward was like a bombshell, shattering everyone's defenses.

Everyone can feel the shock brought by Lin Yuan’s courage and fearlessness.

When the image of Lin Yuan piercing his eardrum with a silver needle was exposed, it was even more moving. It added an extremely tragic color to Lin Yuan's heroic feat and completely opened everyone's tear glands.

The most direct result of describing the accident in this way is that the listeners all agree that:
The accident itself is not important; the heroic actions during the accident response are the key.

Lin Yuan conquered every audience with his behavior.

Then this accident is a manifestation of the brilliance of human nature and a heroic epic.

It will never be possible to overturn the situation in the future. If anyone dares to question or even wants to hold Lin Yuan and Lieutenant Colonel Louis accountable, they will probably be criticized by people all over the world.

The public's fanatical love for heroes is irrational and unreasonable.

The smile on Lin Yuan's face at this moment was because the purpose of this press conference was perfectly achieved.

With more guidance, even bad things may turn into good things.

After all, the "sea cliff" that the Virginia experienced was force majeure, and it was not the fault of the officers and soldiers on the boat.

No submarine had ever escaped safely from such a disaster, but the Virginia did.

The Virginia created an unprecedented miracle. Doesn't it deserve praise?
Lin Yuan believed that with vigorous publicity, Lieutenant Colonel Louis would likely become a star in the army and receive promotions and awards.

There are so many media at today's press conference, and their enthusiasm is so high at the moment. With a little guidance, the media coverage will definitely be of great benefit to them.

The reporters in the audience were so excited that the applause lasted for nearly two minutes before gradually fading away.

Lieutenant Colonel Lewis said, "Next, we will answer questions from reporters regarding this accident. Media are welcome to ask questions."

Hearing what Lieutenant Colonel Louis said, all the reporters at the scene immediately raised their hands and looked at him eagerly.

"The first question will be asked by the reporter from The New York Times," Lieutenant Colonel Louis called out.

Hearing Lieutenant Colonel Louis's call of the name, the New York Times reporter stood up with a high-spirited look on his face.

The reporters who were not selected were quite disappointed, but they quickly calmed down:
The New York Times is an old friend of Lin Yuan and has always been very supportive of him. It is reasonable to give the first question to the New York Times.

"I'd like to ask, how is Mr. Lin Yuan's health now? What was Mr. Lin Yuan thinking when faced with such a dangerous deep-sea escape?"

Lieutenant Colonel Louis was stunned when he heard the question.

Because the New York Times reporter asked two questions, isn’t that a bit too greedy?

Under normal circumstances, each reporter can only ask one question after being called, otherwise if he throws out a series of questions, it will be impossible to move forward.

Lieutenant Colonel Louis turned his head to look at Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Although the New York Times reporter raised two questions, they were understandable.

Because no matter which reporter was named, the first question would definitely be about Lin Yuan's health.

This must be the issue that everyone is most concerned about.

So for the first reporter, it is equivalent to being restricted in asking questions and unable to raise the questions he wants to know.

Lieutenant Colonel Louis began to answer, "Mr. Lin Yuan suffered severe water pressure during his escape from the cabin, resulting in multiple injuries to his internal organs and bones, including minor bone fractures and internal bleeding."

There was an uproar when Lieutenant Colonel Louis answered.

As expected, even Lin Yuan could not withstand getting out of the cabin under such strong water pressure.

This is only Lin Yuan. He did not suffer fatal injuries. If it were someone else, he would probably have died on the spot.

Just when the reporters thought they understood what had happened, Lieutenant Colonel Louis on the stage continued, "But the real harm to Mr. Lin Yuan was actually an underwater electric shock accident. It caused severe burns and partial tissue necrosis."

When the reporters heard this, they went crazy.

"What? He was electrocuted? Lin Yuan was electrocuted when he left the cabin?"

"Electric welding! It must be because the welding gun is leaking electricity! Underwater welding is extremely dangerous, with an accidental death rate of up to 0.3%."

"Three thousandths? That's the death rate when welding dozens of meters underwater. The depth when Lin Yuan left the cabin was 723 meters. The danger level is many times higher!"

"Extensive burns? Tissue necrosis? What a serious injury!"

Facing the excited reporters, Lieutenant Colonel Lewis said: "Don't worry, everyone. Mr. Duby, the ship's doctor of the Virginia, gave emergency treatment to Mr. Lin Yuan who was injured at the time and performed a debridement operation.

Mr. Lin Yuan's condition has now stabilized, and he will be able to fully recover after a period of rest."

Lieutenant Colonel Louis paused and continued, "I know everyone must be curious about what happened after Lin Yuan left the cabin.

All I can say is that it’s kept confidential for now.

But we have footage of the entire filming process. These recorded footage, together with other footage of the filming process of "Lord of Spy Wars 2", will be made into a documentary and released simultaneously with "Lord of Spy Wars 2".

Director Cohen will introduce the details of the documentary to you shortly."

Hearing this, the reporters at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.

But their curiosity was also completely piqued. They really wanted to know what kind of thrilling experience Lin Yuan had experienced after leaving the cabin, and how he was able to return safely to the Virginia after being electrocuted more than 700 meters deep on the seabed.

Were these scenes filmed as a documentary?

Can the filming process of a movie be made into a separate documentary?

This information was a bit challenging to the journalists' cognition, as no movie had ever done this before.

It's just behind-the-scenes footage, but you put it together and want to release it as a movie and make money. This...

Isn't it a bit too ugly to eat like this?
As soon as this thought flashed through the reporters' minds, it was immediately dismissed.

If other movies did this, it would be too ugly and they would probably be scolded to death by movie fans.

But "Lord of Spy Wars 2" definitely won't!
This documentary made from behind-the-scenes footage will definitely be very exciting!

Obviously, the scene of all the officers and soldiers of the Virginia seeing Lin Yuan off before he left the cabin was part of the documentary.

There is also the shocking scene where Lin Yuan pierces the eardrum with a silver needle.

Just based on this footage, the documentary is definitely worth watching.

Not to mention, the documentary will also include footage of Lin Yuan repairing the Virginia in the deep sea after leaving the cabin, as well as his experience of an electric shock accident and narrowly escaping death.

When you think about it this way, the documentary is just as thrilling as the feature film!
If a documentary contains other exciting content, it must be a movie worth paying to watch.

Big news!
Super big news!
This thought flashed through the minds of every reporter present.

Made a fortune today!

Many reporters have secretly taken out their mobile phones to buy Linyuan Pictures' stocks, or asked their family members to help buy them.

It’s not that the reporters’ behavior was too exaggerated, but that Lin Yuan’s influence was really too strong.

Everyone thought that Lin Yuan only had two movies released this year, namely "Jungle Bully" and "The King of Spy 2".

Therefore, all estimates of Linyuan Pictures' performance this year are based on these two films.

But at today's press conference, reporters learned this important information in advance: there is also a documentary!

If this documentary is just a dispensable filler, then there is no need to take it too seriously.

But from what we learned at the press conference, this documentary is absolutely thrilling.

With its realism, the documentary may even create more tension in the audience than the feature film. Therefore, this documentary, whose title is not yet known, will definitely be sought after by the market and will also reap huge commercial returns.

No wonder Lieutenant Colonel Louis had repeatedly stressed that for confidentiality reasons, the footage of Lin Yuan leaving the cabin could not be broadcast.

It turns out that they are going to edit it and make it into a documentary for release. How could they possibly let you watch it all in advance?

made money! made money!
Lin Yuan actually has three movies released this year, which means that the performance estimate of Lin Yuan Pictures is obviously underestimated.

Undervalued performance = undervalued stock price.

It can be said that after today's news is released, Linyuan Pictures' stock price will inevitably rise again.

Then buying stocks at this moment is of course a sure win.

Looking at the reporters below the stage who were constantly texting, Lin Yuan smiled without saying anything.

He had long anticipated that the reporters would behave in this way, and he had done it on purpose.

In this way, journalists can earn some extra income, and they will naturally stand on their side more when reporting news.

If you want people to help you, you can't just rely on their goodwill, you have to offer real benefits.

When reporters buy stocks, they certainly hope that the price will rise more, so they will certainly work harder to praise him. At this moment, everyone is in a win-win alliance.

Lieutenant Colonel Louis also smiled at the reporters in the audience. He was quite familiar with the scene before him.

Two days ago, when Lin Yuan suggested that he and the officers and soldiers of the Virginia buy Lin Yuan Pictures stocks, everyone was in the same panic and excited.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a profit without losing money!

After the commotion among the reporters subsided a little, Lieutenant Colonel Louis continued, "What I am most worried about now is the impact of Mr. Lin Yuan's sacrifice of pierced eardrum on his hearing.

His hearing has now deteriorated significantly and may even have caused permanent damage.

Whether or not it can be recovered depends on the effectiveness of future medical treatment."

After hearing what Lieutenant Colonel Louis said, the reporters at the scene also felt a sense of regret.

Everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for Lin Yuan. The consequences of puncturing the eardrum are really serious and may even lead to deafness.

So everyone was filled with respect for Lin Yuan, and applause broke out again from the audience.

Everyone seemed to be worried that Lin Yuan couldn't hear their applause and would appear to be neglecting the hero, so this time they clapped even harder than before, even clapping until their palms turned red.

The press conference was filled with thunderous applause.

Lin Yuan on the stage could only accept it with a smile. In fact, his eardrum was almost healed.

One of the main functions of the [Supernatural Physique] talent is to anchor his body to its healthiest state. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as it is not a missing limb, it will return to its best condition during the self-healing process.

However, this ability could not be made public, so Lin Yuan could only pretend that his hearing was temporarily damaged, and nodded to the audience with a smile to express his gratitude.

The applause lasted for a full two minutes before gradually fading away.

Lieutenant Colonel Louis continued, "I can't answer the second half of this journalist's question, so I can only leave it to Mr. Lin Yuan himself.

However, considering Mr. Lin Yuan's physical condition, this was also the last question he answered today.

I hope that journalists who ask questions later will refrain from asking Mr. Lin Yuan any more questions.”

After saying that, Charlize walked to Lin Yuan's side with a microphone in her hand, took off her high heels, squatted down, and put the microphone to Lin Yuan's mouth.

The naked white jade feet are stretched tight on the smooth ground, outlining the graceful curve of the arch of the foot, which is the most beautiful picture in the eyes of foot fetishists.

Faced with the beautiful scenery in front of him, Lin Yuan naturally felt quite pleased.

But at this moment he had to act crisp and could only say weakly: "Please say the question again, I didn't hear it clearly just now."

Seeing Lin Yuan's pretentious face, Charlize couldn't help but use her free left hand to secretly reach into the blanket covering Lin Yuan from the blind spot of the reporters below the stage, wanting to gently scratch his waist a few times.

But Charlize didn't notice that Lin Yuan's body was twisted sideways under the blanket.

So her slender fingers didn't touch Lin Yuan's kidneys, but touched his cock...

This time, Lin Yuan was shocked.

He didn't expect Charlize to make such a big move in public?

Lin Yuan's expression immediately became tense. He suppressed the urge to scream, which made him look even more unnatural.

The reporters in the audience couldn't help but sigh again when they saw Lin Yuan's expression:

Mr. Lin Yuan looked like he was in great pain. His injury must have flared up and it was very painful, but he was too embarrassed to cry out.

It’s really not easy. As the world’s richest man and the most influential public figure, he is willing to sacrifice his life for everyone. It’s really great!
We even wanted to ask him what he was thinking when he faced such a dangerous act as deep-sea extravehicular activity?

What can you think?
According to the Chinese, of course it is where justice lies, and I will go even if there are thousands of people against me!
The New York Times reporter said excitedly, "Mr. Lin Yuan, my realm is too low to ask such a vulgar question.

It is a sin to ask you such a question.

Perhaps my level of expertise is too low to fully capture the essence of your great spirit in this news report, but please believe me, I will use my most sincere words to do my best to portray your broad mind to the audience."

Lin Yuan: (1`1;)
I asked you to ask the question again, but you understood it before I answered it?
The New York Times reporter sat back in his chair, indicating that he had ended the questioning session.

Charlize, who was standing by, was almost hurt from holding back her laughter. She wanted to laugh but couldn't, so she could only lower her head into Lin Yuan's sheets, her shoulders shaking.

The reporters in the audience immediately sighed:
Goddess Charlize Theron must also feel sorry for Lin Yuan. She couldn't help crying when she saw Lin Yuan so miserable.

Hey~
It’s really not easy to be the richest man in the world.

We absolutely admire Lin Yuan, the world's richest man who is willing to risk his life for others at critical moments!

So the reporters made up their minds that they must write good news reports when they return this time.

No matter what kind of praise words are used to praise Lin Yuan, it is not an exaggeration, he deserves it!

The reporters’ compliments were a matter for the future, but at the moment, Lin Yuan felt like he was about to burst out in praise.

The soul is weak!
European and American mature women are really bold.

In front of so many people, that soft little hand was doing this?
Lin Yuan has been a monk for many days!

From the time he arrived at the Norfolk Naval Base, he went through adaptive training, dealt with the plotting of the mastermind behind the scenes, went out to sea to shoot a movie, and then escaped from danger.

Lin Yuanke has been holding it in for so many days.

If you hold it in for too long, the reaction will be bigger.

Charlize refused to give in and continued her offensive.

This might be Lin Yuan's most ridiculous press conference. If the reporters knew that his suppressed expression at this moment was not due to pain, but because of pleasure, then it would be simply...

Finally everything is over.

Charlize quietly wiped her hands on Lin Yuan and then pulled them out.

Lin Yuan was slumped in his wheelchair in grief and anger. Covered with a thick blanket, he looked so helpless.

Because Lieutenant Colonel Louis had already made it clear that no more questions should be asked to Lin Yuan.

The reporters' enthusiasm and curiosity began to pour out to the people on the stage:

"Mr. Louis, can you tell me why two nuclear submarines were used for the filming of 'Lord of Spy 2'? One of them is actually a strategic nuclear submarine. Isn't that too exciting?"

"Director Cohen, I'd like to ask, besides the video clips we've seen before, will there be any other exciting content in the upcoming documentary?"

"Director Cohen, when are the release dates for 'King of Spy 2' and the documentary?"

"Director Cohen, can you predict the box office performance of 'King of Spy Kings 2' and the documentary?"

"Mr. Depp, I heard you went to the Arctic Ocean to film. Did anything interesting happen during that time?"

"Mr. Meng Tao, could you tell us what thrilling challenges Lin Yuan completed during this filming?"

"Mr. Meng Tao, I heard that you filed for divorce from your wife yesterday? Can you explain the reason?"

A large number of questions were constantly thrown to the stage and then answered one by one by the guests on the stage.

Obviously, every piece of information at today's press conference is extremely valuable!
The interaction between the stage and the audience was still going on lively, and many reporters had received information that the stocks they purchased had begun to make profits.

Once such information caused unexpected fluctuations in the market, those speculators with a keen sense of smell immediately chose to follow suit, jointly pushing up the stock price of Linyuan Pictures, and starting a new round of increases.

At this time, Lin Yuan didn't know how much the stock price had risen, but even if he knew, he couldn't do anything.

For a long time, the most "Versailles" worry for him and Betty was that the stock price of Linyuan Pictures was always difficult to bring down.

Even though they took various measures, the company's stock price still stubbornly continued to rise.

However, since the previous equity reform was completed, Lin Yuan's motivation to continue suppressing the stock price has weakened.

Because at this time his equity was mainly exchanged for common stock, retaining absolute control over the company.

However, more stocks are issued in the form of preferred stocks to bind more interest groups.

Only by letting the group behind him earn more money can his base be stabilized.

Thus, in a lively atmosphere, this press conference came to a successful conclusion.

When Lin Yuan returned to his room, he immediately got out of his wheelchair and changed his pants.

What a bully!
But before Lin Yuan could seek revenge on Charlize, GAKKI-chan came to Lin Yuan with a plan.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, I'm afraid we are about to have an unprecedented opportunity.

Maybe this will upend the entire movie business model?" (End of chapter)
