Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood
Chapter 666: Climax after climax, shocking the audience
Director Cohen casually placed the handheld camera on the small table at the door of the RV, with the lens aimed at the situation inside the car.
In the picture, there is an electric hot pot on the table in the middle of the RV. The red soup in the pot is bubbling, steaming, and the aroma seems to float out through the screen.
Lin Yuan held the small bowl and picked up a piece of fatty beef covered with sauce.
The fat beef slices shone with an attractive luster under the light, making people drool.
He skillfully put the piece of meat into his mouth, his face full of enjoyment.
But when the camera turned, director Cohen was holding half a dry sandwich in his hand, with bite marks clearly visible, which formed a tragic contrast with Lin Yuan's hot pot.
"Hot pot, a Chinese specialty food, would you like to try it?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.
"Of course! Of course!"
Director Cohen didn't say a word. As if he was afraid that Lin Yuan would change his mind, he squeezed into the RV in one step. His movements were so agile that he didn't look like a man over 50 years old at all.
He had just picked up his bowl and chopsticks and taken a bite of beef when he immediately protested exaggeratedly, "Lin Yuan, you're so cunning! You're hiding in the RV and eating such delicious food! Look at what I'm eating!"
As he spoke, he angrily threw the half sandwich in his hand into the trash can: "This kind of crap, even dogs won't eat it!"
"That's so despicable! From now on I will eat every meal with you!"
Director Cohen protested incoherently while holding the plate and stuffing his mouth with all kinds of delicious food.
His expressions, movements and speeches, when combined, are full of humor and make people laugh.
Seeing this scene, the theater suddenly erupted in cheerful laughter:
"Hahaha, even dogs won't eat it? Then you ate most of it, what's that?" An audience member laughed so hard that he fell over.
"Poor old director, if he hadn't 'accidentally' discovered Lin Yuan eating alone, he would probably have continued to eat his cold sandwich." Another viewer joked.
"I remember that hot pot is just about boiling ingredients in water. Isn't it said that the boiling point of water on the plateau is low and it can't cook things?" someone asked in confusion.
"Lin Yuan's is a special beef tallow hotpot. There is a thick layer of oil on the surface of the pot, which makes it difficult for water vapor to evaporate, so the boiling point naturally rises." A knowledgeable audience member nearby explained.
"What a clever idea! But it certainly wasn't something that came up on the spur of the moment. It seems like Lin Yuan had already planned to eat it all by himself!"
"So cunning! I didn't expect Lin Yuan to have such a side!"
The audience at the scene criticized Lin Yuan from time to time during the joyful discussion, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
"Yeah, why are you eating alone?" Liu Yufei poked Lin Yuan's waist, a hint of resentment in her tone: "The crew members are willing to sign a life and death agreement for you. Such a lovely group of people, are you willing to abandon them to enjoy the good life?"
"Don't poke my waist!" Lin Yuan protested.
"I'll just poke it!" Liu Yufei knew that Lin Yuan was ticklish, so poking his waist had an immediate effect.
"That's not only my waist, it's yours too. It's public property belonging to everyone!" Lin Yuan joked while dodging.
"Shut up!" Liu Yufei said shyly.
Lin Yuan took Liu Yufei's hand and explained with a smile:
"Stop messing around, let's talk it over. If you want to eat electric hot pot, you need a motorhome to provide power.
There is only one RV in the entire camp, so it is unrealistic to invite everyone to eat hot pot together.
Besides, Charlize and I have some intense action scenes to shoot, and we can’t survive on canned food and sandwiches.”
What Lin Yuan said was not an excuse.
The action scenes he and Charlize filmed on the Yala Snow Mountain were indeed extremely physically demanding.
Climbing a large ice wall takes several hours, and it is impossible to sustain it without sufficient nutritional supplements.
In fact, how could the crew members not know that Lin Yuan eats better than everyone else? But no one was dissatisfied with this.
In the long-term cooperation, the team has already formed a tacit understanding and trust. Everyone is a partner who can be entrusted with their lives, and there is no need to doubt their determination to share weal and woe.
Director Cohen's "accidental discovery" was not really accidental, but was intended to add some light-hearted and humorous clips to the documentary to create a balanced effect.
At the same time, this episode has a deeper purpose:
Slightly stretch Lin Yuan's personality and image.
If a person appears too selfless and fearless, it will appear inauthentic.
Moreover, if one sets his standards too high, it will restrict his hands and feet.
The recently aired episode of "Legendary Road" shows Lin Yuan's responsibility and commitment in the fire tornado.
Another "selfish" eating clip can not only neutralize his overly great and glorious image, but also make him appear more real and lovable.
I have to say that Director Coen's control over the film's rhythm is becoming more and more perfect.
This lighthearted episode not only allows the audience to see another side of Lin Yuan, but also makes the entire documentary more full and vivid.
Just as director Coen expected, Lin Yuan's image has become more three-dimensional and real in the minds of the audience, and the rhythm of the film has found a perfect balance between tension and relaxation.
In the next scene, the tension of the plot rises again.
In the camera, Lin Yuan and the crew struggled forward in knee-deep snow, and every step seemed to be a fight against nature.
The cold wind was howling, the snowflakes were flying, and everyone in the picture looked particularly small.
The audience's hearts also tightened, as if they could feel the biting cold and the exhaustion of struggling to walk.
Then, during the pre-sale of "Legendary Road", the avalanche clip that appeared in the trailer was staged again:
On the slope above Lin Yuan's head, the thick layer of snow suddenly collapsed, accompanied by a thunderous sound, turning into a white torrent that swept towards him.
"Run! Lin Yuan! Run!"
Meng Tao held the walkie-talkie and shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice full of despair and anxiety.
Although the audience had already seen this scene in the trailer, the theater still fell into silence when the avalanche actually engulfed Lin Yuan.
The air seemed to freeze, and everyone's heart was in their throat.
Even though I knew Lin Yuan was safe and sound in the end, the tension and worry still lingered.
In the trailer, it ends here.
But when "Legendary Road" was released today, the final answer was finally revealed:
The entire crew, regardless of the danger of a second avalanche, rushed towards the place where Lin Yuan was buried, holding shovels and other tools.
"Everyone, hurry up! We can't hold out long under the snow in Linyuan! If we stay for more than 15 minutes, we may be in danger of suffocation. If we stay for more than 20 minutes, we may be in danger of freezing." Meng Tao shouted and rushed forward.
The crew's rescue team, led by Meng Tao, quickly arrived at the place where Lin Yuan was buried.
He held the signal transmitter in his hand, and after confirming the approximate location, the crew members immediately began to shovel snow.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
The sound of the shovel hitting the ice and snow was particularly harsh on the silent snowfield, and every shovel touched the hearts of the audience.
Many people wanted to jump into the screen, join the rescue team, and help Lin Yuan escape danger as soon as possible.
Just when everyone was worried that it had taken too long, an exciting voice suddenly came:
"Boom!"
Found something!
"That's the sound of a shovel hitting a helmet!"
"found it!"
"Great! We finally found him!" "Come on, everyone, come and help, pull Lin Yuan out!"
At this moment, warm applause finally broke out inside the theater.
All the audience were clapping their hands enthusiastically. This applause was not only for the brave Lin Yuan, but also for the bravery and unity of the crew members.
With warm applause, the movie continued playing:
On the big screen, the crew members worked together to clear the debris around Lin Yuan at an extremely fast speed, and then pulled him out of the snow pile.
However, when the audience saw Lin Yuan's appearance, their hearts tightened again:
He was soaked, as if he had just been pulled out of the water. His face was blue and his lips were purple. He didn't move at all, not even trembling.
This abnormal state gives people a chill.
At this moment, GAKKI immediately rushed forward and asked, "Lin Yuan, are you okay?"
Lin Yuan: "..."
"Why aren't you talking? Are you hurt?"
Meng Tao hurried forward, took a quick look, and said, "Don't worry, he must have frozen stiff. His facial muscles are numb, so he can't speak."
"Lin Yuan, can you hear me? If you understand, just blink." Meng Tao asked.
Lin Yuan blinked several times in a row.
After seeing this scene, the audience finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the shock in their hearts could not subside for a long time.
"Filming "Lord of Spy 2" was so hard and dangerous." An audience member sighed in a low voice.
"Lin Yuan is really risking his life! How many times has this been his brush with death? Didn't he almost get into an accident when he was filming on a nuclear submarine later?" another viewer echoed.
"Although Lin Yuan had dangerous filming experiences before, it was never this bad. Even in the skydiving scene in 'The King of Spy', he was in much better shape than he is now."
"Every time I watch Lin Yuan's movies, I can't help but think: He deserves to make so much money, he deserves to be the richest man in the world! I can't even hate my favorite Taylor Swift for her lingering relationship with him."
"Come on, who do you think you are? Taylor Swift likes Lin Yuan, and she needs your approval? But you're right, Lin Yuan deserves the whole world. He deserves it!"
Liu Yufei deeply agrees with the audience's feelings.
She participated in the filming of "The King of Spy Wars" throughout the whole process.
She didn't know how many times she cried at that time, but compared with "King of Spy 2", the danger of the first action scene seemed much more "gentle".
During the skydiving scene, Lin Yuan also experienced the test of low temperatures, and was drenched by the high-altitude moisture while flying through cumulonimbus clouds. But at least he didn't freeze to the point of being unable to speak like this time...
In the past two years, Liu Yufei was busy with work and was unable to accompany Lin Yuan on filming. Instead, the one who always stayed by his side was GAKKI-chan.
Logically speaking, such an assistant role that can always accompany Lin Yuan is likely to arouse the jealousy of others. However, whether it is Liu Yufei, Taylor Swift, Betty Boop, or even Charlize Theron who joined last, they are all full of sympathy and understanding for GAKKI-chan.
Because as long as you are filming with Lin Yuan, you have to be nervous all the time.
Every time Lin Yuan encounters danger, it is a torment for GAKKI who is guarding the scene.
Even Charlize, who experienced the filming of "King of Spy 2", admitted that she could not bear it anymore.
She couldn't help but admire this seemingly weak Sakura girl, who had such a strong and tough heart.
Liu Yufei can understand this feeling better.
She filmed three movies with Lin Yuan: "The King of Spy Wars", "Lin Yuan and His Wife", and "The Legend of Tang Dynasty".
Was there ever a time during a shoot when the crew was not anxious to the point of almost collapsing due to unexpected accidents?
After which filming did Lin Yuan not get hospitalized due to injury?
Every time was filled with agony, forcing myself not to think too much and trying my best to help Lin Yuan stabilize the crew and filming.
Now GAKKI-chan has taken on this heavy responsibility. She has to bear the first wave of impact before passing on the "bad news" to others.
Liu Yufei was filled with gratitude towards GAKKI-chan.
"boom!"
"Clatter!"
"Crack!"
Just when Liu Yufei was distracted, a deafening sound of ice breaking suddenly came from the big screen.
She looked up suddenly and found that "Legendary Road" had jumped to the scene of the collapse of the ice wall.
Obviously, the documentary did not show the process of climbing the ice wall in detail, because that was the highlight of the feature film "Lord of Spy 2".
"Legendary Road" only uses a few brief shots to pass by, and then focuses on the moment when Lin Yuan and Charlize's lives hang by a thread:
The two men were suspended by the same safety rope hundreds of meters in the air, with bottomless glacier cracks under their feet and precarious ice bolts above their heads.
"Lin Yuan! Hurry up!" Charlize's eyes were red, and she stretched out her hand and shouted to Lin Yuan who was hanging below.
Her voice was mixed with despair and anxiety, as if she was racing against death every second.
The audience in the theater held their breath, and everyone could feel Charlize's inner torment.
The ice bolts made a "creaking" sound, as if they would break completely in the next second.
If they don't make a decision in time, both of them will fall into the abyss.
However, this decision was too cruel.
The audience couldn't help but discuss in a low voice:
"What should I do? If you were Charlize, what would you choose?"
"I don't know... It seems that the only option is to give up Lin Yuan, otherwise neither of them will survive."
"I'm a woman, I understand Charlize's thoughts. I would rather die with Lin Yuan than give up on him at this moment."
"Charlize is in so much pain..."
On the big screen, Lin Yuan's voice was calm and firm: "It's too late."
"How come it's too late? Hurry up!" Charlize's eyes were red and tears were falling uncontrollably.
Her voice trembled, as if she was begging, or struggling.
This scene deeply shocked everyone present.
The emotions in Charlize's eyes are complex and real - reluctance, persistence, friendship, determination...
These emotions are intertwined, and without any lines, they are enough to make people empathize.
"Didn't you say before that you would never show mercy? Now it's time for you to cut the safety rope between us." Lin Yuan's voice was still calm, as if he was stating a very simple fact.
"No! Don't even think about it! I will never cut the rope!" Charlize almost shouted.
There was unquestionable firmness in her voice, as if declaring: no matter life or death, she would not give up Lin Yuan.
The atmosphere in the theater was extremely solemn, and the audience's hearts seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
Some people covered their mouths, afraid of making any sound; some clenched their fists, their nails digging deeply into their palms; and some silently wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes, as if they were also in that snowy world.
At this moment, Charlize's tears, Lin Yuan's calmness, and the bond of life and death between the two were deeply imprinted in the hearts of every audience member.
This is not acting, but a real outburst of emotion.
As one audience member murmured, "This is a real movie, and these are real actors." (End of this chapter)
