Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 663 The Unknown Story Behind the Scenes

The entire audience was completely shocked by the scene before them.

As North America is a high-incidence area for tornado disasters, people are all too familiar with the destructive power of this natural disaster.

When a tornado sweeps through, the wind speed exceeds 130 meters per second, destroying everything in its path.

Roofs were blown off, furniture and appliances were sucked away like they were being vacuumed, and trees as large as a man's arms were uprooted...

These terrifying scenes can even be used to scare children in North America.

Who hasn't heard a few horror stories about people being swept high into the sky by tornadoes and eventually smashed into pieces?

However, it is unheard of for someone like Lin Yuan to actively enter the interior of a tornado, especially a fire tornado with extremely high temperature!

A thought flashed through everyone's mind involuntarily:
You are a billionaire, why do you have to work so hard?

If you do this, how can other colleagues survive in this field?
The visual effects created by others using special effects are not as shocking as those you can actually shoot.

The next moment, the camera on the big screen switched, and it was obvious that the picture had been edited.

I saw Lin Yuan in the fire tornado, spinning at an extremely high speed.

Even though he was wearing heavy fireproof clothing, he still looked like a rag doll that could be torn to pieces at any time.

His eyes were closed and his head was shaking uncontrollably, making people worry that his neck might suddenly break with a "snap".

Driven by the airflow, his limbs were waving around strangely, even making some twisted movements.

All this proves that Lin Yuan had lost consciousness and was completely unconscious.

Seeing this scene, there was an uproar at the scene:
"What happened? Lin Yuan fainted in the fire tornado?"

"Pay attention to the information in the lower right corner. Lin Yuan's rotation speed has reached 223 meters per second. This means he is experiencing a gravitational acceleration of over 10 Gs. How could he not feel dizzy?"

"That's terrible. What should we do? If Lin Yuan doesn't wake up, will he fall to his death?"

"He won't die from the fall, because he will suffocate to death from lack of oxygen before he hits the ground."

The audience then remembered that before Lin Yuan entered the fire scene, Meng Tao had reminded him that he only had 5 minutes.

In this short period of time, he not only had to cross the fire and get close to the fire tornado, but also had to complete the shooting in the tornado and land safely.

So many extremely important tasks are compressed into just 5 minutes.

However, Lin Yuan fainted...

This scene will not appear in the future "Lord of Spy Wars 2" movie.

Because in the movie, according to the plot requirements, the protagonist completed the task of snatching the secret box in the fire tornado in one go, and did not fall into a coma like during the filming.

The greatest value of the documentary "Legendary Road" lies in that it fully presents to the audience those behind-the-scenes stories that were not shown in "Lord of Spy 2" but are equally exciting.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely depressing.

Although everyone knows that Lin Yuan is safe now and the film was successfully shot, the audience still couldn't help but worry about him at that time.

At this moment, the picture suddenly stopped, as if an invisible pair of scissors instantly cut off the audience's expectations.

How did Lin Yuan wake up?

What happened after waking up?
These suspenses are like hooks hanging in the air, firmly grasping the hearts of every audience.

Everyone is eager to get the answer, however, the documentary "Legendary Road" obviously does not intend to reveal the answer at this moment.

Then, the scene was once again filled with discussions:

"What's next? What's next? Are the creative team digging a hole and not going to cover it?"

"F*CK! Aren't you just trying to keep us in suspense?"

"It's over. I'm definitely not going to sleep well tonight."

Some viewers expressed mild complaints, but soon another group of viewers stood up to refute:
"That's perfectly normal. After all, this is a behind-the-scenes documentary. If I told you everything, what would be the point of watching 'King of Spy 2'? Would it even be necessary to release it?"

"That's right, we can't give out spoilers in documentaries, right?"

"The division of labor between The Legendary Road and The King of Spy Vs. ...

"I agree! For example, the scene where the fire tornado is formed and Lin Yuan is unconscious in the tornado are not seen in "King of Spy 2"."

“When watching other movies, you always watch the main film first and then watch the behind-the-scenes footage at the end.

But when watching Lin Yuan's movies, I actually watched the behind-the-scenes footage first, then the main film...

What’s even more outrageous is that you have to pay for a ticket to see the behind-the-scenes footage! But the most outrageous thing is that the behind-the-scenes footage is so exciting that I think it’s worth every penny!

Amid the lively discussions of the audience, Liu Yufei nudged Lin Yuan twice with her elbow: "Did I guess right again?"

Lin Yuan: ()
Liu Yufei: "Stop, stop! I don't want to take this bet anymore."

Lin Yuan: "Can you change to a full body massage? You know my skills..."

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Liu Yufei hesitated for a moment and said, "We can only do massage. Your hands are always dishonest."

"Is there any need to ask? The one with honest hands is a blind masseur from a regular massage parlor. If I still have to be honest, then my identity as the official boyfriend would be in vain." Lin Yuan said righteously.

Liu Yufei: (▔皿▔)
Liu Yufei was so angry that she stared, but she could do nothing.

When it comes to bickering, she has never been a match for Lin Yuan.

So, she changed the subject and said, "It seems that the dual-video model was successful this time, but it's hard to replicate."

Lin Yuan nodded, with a hint of emotion in his expression: "If every movie can make the same profit as two, then wouldn't we make a fortune?
But King of Spy 2 is so special that even I can’t guarantee that I can do the same with the next movie.”

In fact, before getting close to the audience's feedback, Lin Yuan was not without worries.

This kind of "killing two birds with one stone" and "skinning a cow twice" gameplay has never appeared in the entire history of film.

Although "Legendary Road" has surprisingly high pre-sale box office, there is still a risk of failure.

Although the pre-sale box office seems brilliant, as long as the audience has not yet officially purchased their tickets to watch the film, they can still choose to refund their tickets, and they only need to bear a 20% handling fee. As long as there are pre-sales, refunds must be allowed, there is nothing to say about it.

The extremely high pre-sale box office of "Legendary Road" is entirely dependent on the audience's extremely high expectations.

This also means that if the film receives poor reputation after its release, many viewers who have pre-ordered or even purchased multiple tickets may choose to refund their tickets.

Although Lin Yuan is confident that this movie, which is made up of behind-the-scenes footage, is exciting enough, will the audience really buy it?
So far, the audience response has been undoubtedly positive.

Even if there is a little dissatisfaction, everyone can express understanding.

After all, "Lord of Spy Vs. King ...

Therefore, when "Legendary Road" comes to an abrupt end at some wonderful scenes, the audience is itchy but can accept it.

However, "Legendary Road" is not a promotional film after all, but a serious movie that sells tickets to the audience.

The audience spends money and time to watch, so they naturally expect to see some "real stuff" that is substantial enough.

If the content is too perfunctory, it will definitely be criticized.

When weighing the distribution of content between "King of Spy V: The Last Airbender" and "Legendary Road," Lin Yuan and director Cohen had a clear criterion:

For those plots that will be officially presented in "Lord of Spy 2", "Legendary Road" only needs to briefly explain them, mainly to enhance the audience's expectations.

The behind-the-scenes stories that will not appear in "King of Spy 2" are highlighted in "Legendary Road". These behind-the-scenes stories are equally exciting and even more fascinating than the main film.

For example, the following paragraph:
At this time, the picture on the big screen switched again.

Appearing in front of the camera are Coen director Meng Tao and Charlize Theron, with dozens of crew members behind them.

Everyone's expression was unusually solemn. They seemed to be struggling, having to make an extremely difficult decision...

"I can't make decisions for you on such an important matter. I can only leave the decision to you," said Director Cohen.

"Let's vote. If the support rate doesn't exceed 90%, the proposal will be invalid. The voting will be secret, so don't feel burdened." Meng Tao said.

After saying that, Meng Tao took the lead and walked to the ballot box and cast his vote.

Immediately afterwards, director Cohen, Charlize Theron and the crew members walked to the ballot box one by one and put their votes into the box.

Seeing this scene, the audience became curious:
"What are they voting on? Why are their expressions so serious?"

"That's outrageous. A normal vote requires a majority, or at most two-thirds. What on earth is this a vote on? It actually requires 90% approval? Is it harder than amending the US Constitution?"

"A 90% approval rate means you're not planning on passing this vote, right?"

"I also think that this is just a face-saving process in order to justify killing this matter."

Amidst the doubts from the audience, someone suddenly asked a question:
"When did this vote take place? The background looks like a forest fire, but why didn't I see Lin Yuan participating? Nor did I see a fire tornado?"

Obviously, it is impossible to hide such a huge thing as a fire tornado.

This vote should have taken place before Lin Yuan entered the fire tornado, in reverse order.

Soon, subtitles appeared on the big screen, confirming the audience's guess:

The scene you see happened 30 minutes before the official shooting began. Lin Yuan was testing the fireproof clothing in the fire scene.

The crew made this vote without his knowledge.

Seeing this scene, the audience's appetite was immediately whetted:
"I'm even more curious. What's going on? Why are you hiding it from Lin Yuan?"

"Are you guys planning to set a trap to frame Lin Yuan?"

"Are you stupid? If they really wanted to trick Lin Yuan, they wouldn't have put it on the big screen and shown it openly. All the employees of Lin Yuan Pictures love him dearly and are desperate to protect him. How could they possibly trick him?"

Amid the audience's curiosity, the screen did not immediately answer this question, but the subtitles continued to show:
30 minutes later……

The scene switches, and the violent fire tornado appears before the audience again.

Meng Tao's eyes were red as he shouted hysterically, "Lin Yuan, you've been unconscious for too long. The altitude is approaching 1200 meters! We can't follow the planned plan to dump the fire tornado eastward!"

"Then let's go south." Lin Yuan's voice was heard on the communication channel.

"No, you'll die if you go south! Dump it west."

"What nonsense! Going west is too dangerous for you! I absolutely disagree!"

The audience at the scene saw the conversation between Meng Tao and Lin Yuan, and their minds were confused:
What is the tipping of a fire tornado? Can a fire tornado tip over something?
Why can't it dump eastward as planned?
Why did Lin Yuan insist on going south while Meng Tao insisted on going west?
This time, the audience didn't remain confused for long. A simple animation immediately appeared on the big screen, accompanied by the following text:

Compared with ordinary tornadoes, fire tornadoes are relatively more fragile because the central low pressure is generated by flames.

As long as there is terrain obstruction or uneven combustion, dumping will occur.

Accompanied by subtitles, the animation shows a fire tornado several thousand meters high and hundreds of meters wide falling down and crashing to the ground.

The houses and people on the ground were instantly reduced to ashes in the flames.

Seeing this scene, the audience sighed:

"How dangerous! A fire tornado can actually topple over. A pillar of fire thousands of meters high and hundreds of meters wide would fall over. There'd be nowhere to hide or escape, right?"

"No wonder so many professional firefighters have lost their lives in wildfire rescue operations. Facing such disasters is truly hopeless."

"Now Lin Yuan and Meng Tao are discussing dumping the fire tornado. Is it because Lin Yuan doesn't have a parachute and must use this method to land safely?"

"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, the fire tornado must fall towards the forest so that Lin Yuan can land safely on the tree trunks and branches. Otherwise, if he falls directly to the ground, he will definitely die."

"Then I get it. The wildfire is coming from the north. So the trees in the north must have burned out long ago. The only directions left are east, west, and east."

"I also know that the crew is heading west. No wonder Lin Yuan disagrees with the fire tornado pouring to the west. It is really too dangerous."

In the theater, all the audience suddenly had two doubts:
Why did Meng Tao insist on doing so even though he knew that the fire tornado was heading west and that his life and the lives of the entire crew might be in danger?
What secrets are hidden in that ballot box?
At this point, the image on the big screen switched to an open ballot box.

A ballot paper appeared in front of the audience:

If an uncontrollable fatal danger occurs during the filming process, I will voluntarily choose to prioritize protecting Lin Yuan's life. (End of this chapter)
