Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Seeing this scene, Liu Yufei felt a panic in her heart.

Although she also knew that Lin Yuan encountered an avalanche while filming and that he was not injured, she had not seen the footage of the incident.

When she saw the avalanche for the first time, the earth-shaking scene still made her feel uncontrollable panic.

In the face of such terrifying natural forces, is Lin Yuan really okay?

Apparently, fans who watched the video thought so too.

During this part of the video, the number of comments suddenly increased sharply.

The dense barrage of comments became a thick wall, almost covering the entire screen, making it impossible for Liu Yufei to see anything:

"What a terrifying avalanche! Was Lin Yuan really buried by it?"

"Of course! The avalanche was triggered at the top of a mountain not far from Lin Yuan. It's definitely impossible to avoid it."

"He must have been rescued, otherwise we wouldn't see Lin Yuan appear on TV screens anytime soon."

"So what happened next?"

There were too many subtitles, so Liu Yufei had to manually select: only display part of the barrage.

This way she could continue to see the scenes in the promotional video.

The picture shows the moment when Lin Yuan was swallowed by the avalanche.

Then, the screen switches.

It can be seen that after the scene switches, the avalanche has already ended.

Not far away, huge chunks of snow were scattered on the hillside like torn cotton wool.

Mixed in the snow were countless stones and branches, forming irregular patches of white ruins.

The air was filled with icy snow mist, as if even breathing was frozen.

At this time, the crew members in the picture were each holding rescue tools and rushing forward with all their might.

"Hurry up and save him! Lin Yuan is buried not far ahead!"

"hurry up!"

The images captured by the handheld camera kept shaking.

As the rescue workers in front ran, the flying snow foam fell on the camera lens, but they had no time to clean it up.

Everyone in the camera is rushing forward recklessly, completely unconcerned about the possibility of a second avalanche.

At this moment, the screen went black and a string of subtitles appeared:
"How was Lin Yuan rescued?"

"After being rescued, was Lin Yuan seriously injured?"

"The documentary 'Legendary Road' tells you this thrilling journey in detail."

Then the screen went black and jumped to another scene.

At this moment, the scene shows a gray underwater.

In front of the camera, there is a beam of light from a searchlight, shining on an unmanned submarine not far away.

The head of the unmanned submarine also has an integrated searchlight and camera.

Obviously, the current scene was captured by an unmanned submarine.

The audience obviously did not buy into the scene that appeared on the screen, and their emotions were still on the previous scene.

"What's next? What's next? The story ends here. Isn't it going to drive me crazy?"

"We want to see what happens after Lin Yuan is buried by the avalanche! Why did the scene suddenly skip?"

"You're stupid! I've already let you watch it, but who's going to buy tickets for the documentary?"

"Damn it! I almost forgot this was a promotional video for a documentary. How could we possibly buy tickets if it doesn't whet our appetite?"

"Hearing you mention that, I just remembered that this is a promotional video for a documentary! I almost thought it was a commercial blockbuster. Are documentaries really that exciting?"

"I told you, Lin Yuan would never cheat us out of our money. If he dares to make a documentary out of the behind-the-scenes footage, the quality must be guaranteed."

"No wonder the documentary is called 'The Road to Legend'. It's a record of how the legendary film 'The King of Spy 2' was made. The documentary is not even worse than the feature film!"

"Originally I only wanted to pre-order tickets for The King of Spy 2, but now I want to pre-order tickets for The Legendary Road as well."

"+1!"

Just as netizens were discussing the issue in the barrage, a huge black figure suddenly appeared on the screen.

Liu Yufei was startled. Her first reaction was, "This scene must have been filmed by Lin Yuan in Greenland. Is this black figure the USS Virginia nuclear submarine?"

The next moment, she had the answer.

A huge bowhead whale appeared in front of the camera.

As the second or third largest monster on the planet, the bowhead whale's weight even far exceeds that of the dinosaurs often portrayed in movies. It is an absolute behemoth.

When this bowhead whale swam past the unmanned underwater vehicle, its huge size was further highlighted.

The unmanned underwater vehicle in the picture is the Bluefin-21 medium-sized unmanned underwater vehicle, which is about 4.93 meters long, about 0.53 meters in diameter, and weighs about 750 kilograms. It is mainly used for medium-depth ocean exploration, seabed topography mapping, military reconnaissance and other tasks.

This size is already quite large for ordinary people, but when compared with the bowhead whale, it immediately appears to be extremely small and slender.

The bowhead whale that appeared before the audience was obviously more than 20 meters long and weighed more than 100 tons!
The audience was finally attracted by the scene before them, and the discussion on avalanche rescue ended:
"Wow! This scene should be shot underwater in Greenland, as mentioned in the new press conference, right?"

"What kind of whale is this? Why is it so big? Is it a blue whale?"

"You're stupid! How could this be a blue whale? It's obviously a fin whale!"

"Please don't pretend to know! Fin whales and blue whales look almost identical, and this image of a fathead whale is actually a bowhead whale!"

"Bowhead whale? It seems to be a giant baleen whale, a behemoth weighing over 100 tons!"

"Lin Yuan is so lucky that he even encountered a bowhead whale while filming."

"I was quite lucky. I encountered a bowhead whale during the filming process. The few shots I took were also a good bonus."

At this moment, suddenly, a dense group of black shadows appeared behind the bowhead whale and swam quickly from a distance.

As the shadows continued to approach, the searchlight of the unmanned submarine revealed the true appearance of these shadows.

I saw a large group of dozens of narwhals approaching the bowhead whale quickly from behind.

"God! What kind of animal is this? A swordfish?"

"Don't show off your ignorance. Swordfish? I'm dying of laughter. What kind of fish can grow so big and fat? If it has a long, pointed thing, it must be a swordfish. Otherwise, you would be a swordfish too."

"Hahaha, swordfish? This is a narwhal!"

"Why are so many narwhals charging towards bowhead whales? Are they going to hunt them?"

"Hunting bowhead whales? Hahaha, don't you see the size difference? Do you rely on that long, thin horn? If it worked, you could kill an elephant with it."

"Hunting? That really makes me laugh. The narwhal is the bowhead whale's follower and younger brother."

"Lin Yuan is so lucky to have encountered both bowhead whales and narwhals while filming a movie. The footage is even more impressive than those captured by scientists making documentaries about marine life."

At this moment, the narwhal group was very close to the unmanned underwater vehicle.

All the audience could clearly see that among the narwhals, there was a person lying on the leader swimming in the front!

Lin Yuan!

Liu Yufei recognized it at a glance.

As the person who sleeps by her side, she can recognize Lin Yuan at a glance even if he turns into ashes.

But the person next to him could not have imagined that Lin Yuan would have such a wild time in Greenland?
Not only was Liu Yufei stunned, but so were the audience who saw this scene:
"God! What did I see? Lin Yuan actually dances with a narwhal?"

"It wasn't a chance encounter. These narwhals were specially cooperating with Lin Yuan during the filming?"

"Does the highlights of the recently released "Jungle Bully" also appear in "The King's Avatar 2"?

"You guys, what are you making such a fuss about? This is an old trick, right? Do you remember the Jaws in Pirates of the Caribbean 2?"

At this moment, a larger black shadow appeared in the picture.

A huge black submarine was coming from a distance.

When Liu Yufei saw the submarine, she was completely shocked:

Because it’s so big!

Most people have never seen the full picture of a nuclear submarine with their own eyes.

We only see them in photos, and often cannot get a sense of how big nuclear submarines are.

The difference between looking at photos and seeing it in person is unimaginable.

For example, in a certain big country in the East, the military propaganda always produces amazing pictures.

Even giant objects like aircraft carriers, which are as high as an eight-story building above the water, can be photographed as if you can step onto them just by lifting your foot.

In the video at this moment, Lin Yuan is very small, the narwhal is also small, and even the bowhead whale not far away, which just shocked all the audience, now looks like a small fish.

After all, the Virginia's displacement exceeds 7000 tons, making a 100-ton bowhead whale look quite small.

"Is this the USS Virginia that was filmed with Lin Yuan?"

"Is it this big? It's hard to imagine. No wonder they say nuclear submarines are deep-sea killers. They're so cool!"

"I want to know why Lin Yuan needs a nuclear submarine for filming? He can't sink a submarine with his bare hands, right? That's ridiculous!"

At this moment, the picture angle changes.

It is obvious that the footage was edited in from another unmanned submarine.

This unmanned submarine is located above the Virginia, and it can be clearly seen that a cover on the back of the Virginia is opened, revealing the vertical launch tube.

When Liu Yufei saw this scene, a thought flashed through her mind: "Could this be real live ammunition shooting?"

The next moment, she got her answer. A Tomahawk cruise missile burst out of its launch tube, sending a stream of bubbles of varying sizes hurtling towards the sea surface.

The missile was so fast that it passed through the camera in an instant.

The camera is looking upwards, and directly above is a thick ice sheet.

The missile broke through the ice, jumped out of the sea, and then its engine ignited, spewing out flames, leaving a trail with thick black smoke and rushing straight into the sky.

At this moment, the screen went black and a series of subtitles appeared:
"At this moment, the deadly weapon is no longer a murder weapon, but a protector of marine animals."

"This missile rising into the sky no longer foreshadows the passing of life, but rather the hope of life."

Then the picture appeared again, and there was a huge hole in the ice sheet that was covered with ice for thousands of miles.

The narwhals rushed to the cave to breathe, and happily slapped the water surface, splashing water two or three meters high.

Through the screen, every audience member can feel the joy of the narwhal at this moment.

The audience immediately went wild, with countless comments flashing by:

"Wow! They're actually shooting with live ammunition! So cool!"

"Cold launch! That string of bubbles in the sea water is a perfect reflection of my boiling heart at this moment."

"The moment it emerged from the water, the missile hovered in the air and ignited. It was so cool!"

"Why is it not a murder weapon but a protector? Not the passing of life, but the hope of life?"

"Don't you understand? The narwhals and bowhead whales were trapped under the ice, almost suffocating from lack of oxygen. Then a submarine launched a missile and penetrated the ice cap. Isn't this a hope for life?"

"It's amazing! I used to feel sad when I saw a missile launch, but this time it felt particularly heartwarming."

Seeing these comments, Liu Yufei couldn't help but nod secretly.

Humans have invented so many high-tech weapons, but they are often used to kill each other.

But in front of the camera today, this missile is no longer used to kill, but to save, which is really touching.

At this time, another comment caught Liu Yufei's attention:

"Read the comments section. Make sure to read the comments section."

Seeing this comment, Liu Yufei was stunned for a moment.

Indeed, there is a word limit for barrages, and if you want to make longer comments, you can only go to the comment section.

So she clicked on the comment section, and a popular comment immediately appeared in front of her.

In a short period of time, this comment received more than 30 likes and tens of thousands of follow-up comments:

"Wow! Lin Yuan never ceases to amaze me! I originally thought this behind-the-scenes footage was just about encountering a group of narwhals and bowhead whales during filming.

He then told us that these were the 'animal actors' who participated in the show.

This has already exceeded my expectations, but I didn't expect the Virginia nuclear submarine to appear right after that, which shocked me with its majesty.

I think that even if it is a commercial film, if these elements appear in the picture, it is worth it for the audience to go to the scene to watch it.

But what Lin Yuan wants to show us has just begun.

When the Virginia opened its launch cover, I felt my heart leap into my throat.

No way? Could it be that a film would actually involve a nuclear submarine launching live ammunition?
Crazy! This is absolutely crazy!
When that cold-ignition Tomahawk cruise missile, like a giant dragon emerging from the sea, easily broke through the ice and ignited and soared into the sky, I thought it was exciting enough, and even allowed me to see a scene that I had never expected.

But the next moment, Lin Yuan slapped me hard in the face.

He told me that the best part was yet to come.

When I saw the group of narwhals breathing in the ice holes and splashing the water with joy, I felt as if the splashes of water were hitting my face.

I reached out and touched my face, and found that I had burst into tears without knowing when.

It's not sadness, nor pain, but an indescribable feeling of being moved.

Thanks to Lin Yuan, I saw such a warm and harmonious side of people and nature.

I now deeply believe that this documentary, "Legendary Road," is definitely a great film."

Below this comment, a large number of netizens expressed their agreement and enthusiastically discussed the content of "Legendary Road".

During the exchange, netizens reached a complete consensus:

Although "Legendary Road" is a behind-the-scenes footage of "King of Spy 2", it is by no means just a movie pieced together with scraps.

In fact, "Legendary Road" and "Lord of Spy 2" should be a pair of twins, two sides of the same coin.

During the filming of "Lord of Spy 2", too many legendary experiences occurred both on and off the screen.

If you can only watch "Lord of Spy Wars 2", you will miss a lot of wonderful things.

Only by watching "Legendary Road" and "King of Spy V: The Last Airbender" at the same time can you get the most perfect viewing experience.

All viewers can understand why these two movies are being pre-sold together.

I also understand why there is only a promotional trailer for "Legendary Road" on the pre-sale interface, but no promotional video for "Lord of Spy Wars 2".

Because just seeing the trailer for "Legendary Road" is enough.

Wonderful enough.

Enough expectations.

Liu Yufei knew more. She knew there was another important reason, which was that the production of the promotional video for "Legendary Road" was simpler.

Even if we want a promotional video for "Lord of Spy 2" now, we can't make it.

Unlike the promotional materials of "Lord of Spy 2", it requires post-production and editing.

"Legendary Road" itself is a documentary, and most of the footage used was shot by director Cohen with a handheld camera.

These materials do not require post-production or dubbing or color grading. Any processing will reduce the sense of realism, so they can be used directly.

This allows the promotional video for "Legendary Road" to be produced in the shortest possible time without delaying the start of pre-sales.

What’s even more interesting is that during the pre-sale promotion, simply promoting “Legendary Road” can have the effect of promoting “Lord of Spy Wars 2”.

After all, the content of "Legendary Road" is all the behind-the-scenes footage of the filming of "King of Spy 2".

Since the filming process is so shocking and interesting, and makes people full of expectations, then wouldn’t the feature film be even more attractive?
This is a perfect way to achieve great things with little money, killing two birds with one stone.

Obviously, the promotional video has a very good effect, it can even be said to be explosive.

Liu Yufei is sure that as soon as the pre-sale starts, the pre-sale results of these two films will definitely not be bad.

She scrolled her mouse wheel back to the promotional video.

The rest of the content is relatively simple, with only flash shots to briefly show other content:

Canadian wildfires, the ice walls of Mount Raya, bonfire parties under the night sky...

Although there is no detailed content, it creates a feeling of extremely rich content.

I believe that after seeing these pictures, the audience will be more expectant, and they will also know that "Legendary Road" is a documentary with extremely rich and solid content, not just a few wonderful clips to make money.

After watching the entire promotional video, Liu Yufei felt at peace.

She looked at the time and saw that the pre-sale channel was about to open.

After waiting for a little over a minute, the pre-sale started and she immediately clicked on the pre-sale channel for "Legendary Road".

She did not click on the entrance to "Lord of Spy Wars 2" first, but chose "Legendary Road".

Anyway, pre-ordering only gives you a chance to win a lottery draw. You won’t be able to watch the movie earlier just by coming earlier, so there’s no need to rush in.

She would pre-purchase tickets for both movies, so she might as well watch them in order from the beginning to the end.

The pre-sale interface is very simple. You only need to fill in your identity and phone number, plus an option for the city where you want to watch the movie.

The first two pieces of information are easy to understand. The information about the cities where the movie was watched is so that after the pre-sale is successful, you can use the amounts divided into different regions to negotiate the screening schedule with the theaters.

Regions with a high number of movie-watching cities can arrange a higher number of screenings based on the pre-sale amount.

It can be said that this is also an advantage of the pre-sale system.

Adjust the screening schedule in different areas according to the pre-sale amount to reduce vacancy waste.

Liu Yufei filled in "Yanjing" as the city where she watched the movie.

For her, it doesn't matter which city she fills in, because she doesn't need to actually get a pre-purchased ticket to watch the movie in the cinema.

The reason why she filled in "Yanjing" is because she now works and lives here for a long time, and it would be easier to give it as a gift to others.

Otherwise, if you really have a ticket that can only be redeemed in "Los Angeles", it will be difficult to give it to others.

The payment interface is a bit slow, and you need to fill in your bank information and deduct the payment from your credit card.

It took Liu Yufei nearly 6 minutes to complete the entire payment process.

The main reason is that the Internet speed is really not fast enough. It always takes more than 20 seconds to load the page.

When the payment is finally completed, a message indicating a successful purchase pops up on the page:

"Ms. Liu, congratulations on your successful pre-order of the movie 'Legendary Road'."

"You are the 19837623rd pre-orderer, and the current pre-order amount is 33.06% complete."

Seeing this message, Liu Yufei couldn't believe her eyes:

What I pre-ordered was not "Lord of Spy 2", but "Legendary Road", which is definitely less popular.

But in just 6 minutes, 19837623 people completed their pre-orders?

The completion rate of pre-order amount exceeds 33%!

This progress is really terrifying!

Then wouldn't "King of Spy Wars 2" be even more terrifying? (End of this chapter)
