Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

"Dongda, Dongda, Dongdada~"

The lively dutar accompaniment and drum beats blended together, causing the crew members to shout loudly, and the quiet night by the Youcuo Lake was torn into a noisy hole.

Lin Yuan stepped to the beat of the drum, raised his toes, and performed a standard step-by-step dance.

The toe of his boot tapped the ground, splashing up fine grass debris. The moonlight stretched his shadow long, casting it on the lake, overlapping with the reflection of the snow-capped mountains.

The bonfire gave Lin Yuan's profile a golden edge, and the sweat beads on his forehead splashed in the rotation, reflecting the firelight like falling stars.

The scene was like a dream, and the crew members watching had already forgotten the skewers in their hands;

The photographer who was taking photos on the scene held the equipment but forgot to press the shutter;

The script girl's notebook fell on the grass, and the pages fluttered in the night wind;

Director Cohen was holding a cigarette with a long trail of ash in his mouth.

Everyone's eyes followed the spinning figure, the bonfire danced in their eyes, reflecting an intoxicating light.

The same was true for the audience in the theater. There was silence in the venue, and everyone stared at the dancing Lin Yuan, wanting to deeply engrave this scene in their hearts.

Lin Yuan on the big screen was spinning faster and faster, his face flickering in the firelight. Every time he stomped his feet, the grass beneath his feet trembled slightly, as if he was stepping on everyone's heart.

The drumbeats became faster and faster, and Lin Yuan leaped up into the air. The moonlight just passed through his figure, casting a beautiful silhouette on the snow.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze.

The outline of the Yala Snow Mountain became clearer in the night, and the moon hung on the top of the mountain like an ancient silver coin.

The glow of the bonfire ripples on the lake, interweaving with the moonlight.

On this night, the magnificent scenery of the Yala Snow Mountain is the best stage in history.

When the last note faded into the night sky, Lin Yuan ended the dance with an elegant bow.

There was silence for a moment, and then there was a burst of warm applause and whistles.

The young man finally remembered the skewer of meat in his hand and took a few bites of the slightly cold meat.
The script supervisor picked up her notebook and quickly wrote down her feelings at the moment, to be remembered later.
Director Cohen finally remembered to put out his cigarette, but found that he had stood up without knowing when.

When the picture froze at the moment when Lin Yuan bowed to take his leave, warm applause broke out in the theater.

It's not a formality, but a genuine expression of joy:
"Actually, I'm not a big fan of watching dance, but Lin Yuan's dance is truly an unrepeatable work of art."

"I agree. I won't say much about Lin Yuan's dancing skills, as I, as an outsider, can't really comment on them. But the meadow beside Youcuo Lake is the stage, the Yala Snow Mountain is the backdrop, and the high full moon is the lighting. This kind of choreography is probably unprecedented."

"When I watched Indian movies before, I really hated the dance scenes in the movies, but after watching "Legendary Road" today, I even want to watch it a few more times."

The audience member's words immediately caused laughter from the people around him.

Lin Yuan also laughed. In fact, there is nothing wrong with having dance in movies. On the contrary, it is a powerful tool to adjust the rhythm of the movie.

The reason why the dance in Sammo Hung's movies feels strange to many audiences in other countries is that it is awkward to dance when there is a disagreement, and this is not a problem with the dance.

On the contrary, like in "Pulp Fiction", the twisting dance of the Tower of Submission is integrated into the plot, which is a classic scene that everyone loves to see.

The insertion of this dance in "Legendary Road" directed by Coen is also very clever.

On the one hand, it is because the audience has just watched the very thrilling and exciting behind-the-scenes footage of the big glacier shooting, and they need a relaxing plot to relieve their tense nerves.

On the other hand, because this dance took place at a celebratory bonfire party, everything happened so naturally and logically.

There won't be any awkwardness, and naturally it won't make people feel embarrassed.

On this basis, the audience can immerse themselves in the plot and calm down to appreciate Lin Yuan's Sainam dance under the moon.

Otherwise, no matter how well Lin Yuan dances, the audience will not be able to immerse themselves in and appreciate how well this segment was filmed.

At this moment, a close-up of Charlize was cut onto the big screen.

Her eyes sparkled as she said, "I've never seen this kind of dance before. It's a pity I don't know how to dance the Sainaim, otherwise I'd really like to dance with him."

The audience whistled and cheered, expressing their approval of Charlize's opinion.

The next moment, the crew members on the big screen started chanting, "One more!"

Immediately afterwards, the accompaniment of the famous song "You never can tell" sounded.

At Lin Yuan's invitation, Charlize walked to the center of the venue.

"Ms. Theron, may I have the honor of having you dance with me?"

"Call me Charlize!"

The crew members in the camp and the audience in the theater burst into enthusiastic cheers at the same time.

Accompanied by the music, Lin Yuan and Charlize began to stand on tiptoe, rubbing the soles of their feet and twisting their bodies.

"It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well."

(This was a teenage wedding and the elders wished them all the best)
"you could see that pierre did truly love the made moiselle."

(You can see that this young man really loves this young lady)
The lyrics were so fitting for the occasion. This scene once again ignited the passion inside and outside the screen, and everyone cheered and applauded.

In the corner of the cinema, Lin Yuan felt his right palm was a little painful because it was pinched by Liu Yufei's legs.

"Pain...pain..."

"I'm jealous."

There was a hint of grievance in Liu Yufei's voice. How could she not be jealous?
She saw it clearly: Lin Yuan and Charlize first performed a life-and-death struggle on the cliff of the glacier, and then danced together in such a dreamlike scene.

All of this fits a woman's most extreme fantasy of romance.

It can be said that as long as any woman has had such an experience with a man, then no matter how hard the future life of the two of them is, they can draw sweetness from the memory and walk on hand in hand.

Hearing Liu Yufei say this, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a little guilty.

Liu Yufei was not jealous of his infidelity. She had already prepared herself mentally for this over the past few years.

What really made her feel a little upset was that it seemed like she and Lin Yuan had never had such a romantic moment.

Some time ago, she saw Lin Yuan and Taylor Swift interacting at a concert in Nashville with tens of thousands of people.

Taylor Swift's heartfelt confession in the song "I have a lover" still makes Liu Yufei savor it endlessly. It is a romance she has never experienced before.

And today I saw with my own eyes how Lin Yuan and Charlize showed off their romance in various ways... My mentality is completely unbalanced.

Lin Yuan carefully recalled his experiences with Liu Yufei over the years. The two were childhood sweethearts and seemed to have entered the old married couple mode very early on.

You can say it's very heartwarming, but it lacks the romance that some women most expect.

This is especially obvious when compared with other women.

He and GAKKI-chan experienced a journey through the four major temples together. They climbed trees to pray, walked through the Toshodai-ji Temple after a heavy snowfall, and stayed overnight at a mountain temple together...

Although he and Betty lacked romance, they had the thrill of facing assassinations together and living together in the Indian slums...

Thinking about it this way, his experience with Liu Yufei was indeed a bit dull. So, Lin Yuan solemnly promised Liu Yufei in her ear: "I owe you this. Give me some time, and I will definitely make it up to you."

"Really? Actually, there's no need to do this deliberately..."

"Stop talking, just wait for the surprise."

As soon as he made the promise, Lin Yuan felt the force on his hand being clamped immediately lighten.

Not only does it not hurt anymore, it also rubs gently and the feeling is maximized.

At this moment, on the big screen, the snow mountain chapter of "Legendary Road" finally came to a perfect end.

In this part of the plot, the audience experienced the ups and downs, the right balance of tension and relaxation, and really felt a spiritual massage.

At this moment, an audience member suddenly asked:
"The snow-capped mountains where Lin Yuan filmed this scene are so beautiful, and the Youcuo Lake and the huge ice wall. Where is this? Sichuan Province in China? I really want to go there."

"Yes, it's not far from Shudu, the capital of Sichuan Province, so it's quite convenient to get there."

"Wow! In that case, I'll buy a ticket and fly directly to Shu City tomorrow. I have a Chinese visa."

"Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?"

"You don't understand. All the scenic spots that have appeared in Lin Yuan's previous films have become huge hits. This time, 'Legendary Road' and 'King of Spy 2' are expected to be unprecedented successes. Driven by these movies, if you go too late, the Yala Snow Mountain will probably be packed!"

"I want to go too! Do you think we can find the footprints left by Lin Yuan dancing by Youcuo Lake?"

"This...I'm afraid it's a little difficult, but I also want to have a bonfire party under the moon and sing and dance with my friends. That would be perfect."

"Buy tickets! Buy tickets! I'm excited to go tomorrow!"

Hearing the audience's discussion, Liu Yufei said with a smile: "It seems that you are going to make another domestic tourist attraction popular."

Lin Yuan said proudly: "That's what I planned from the beginning. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be worthy of the local government's 'special care'."

When filming "Lord of Spy 2" in China, from the moment his plane landed in Sichuan Province, he was constantly entertained by officials from all over the country, and they enthusiastically provided convenience for the filming.

Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Lin Yuan to complete the filming so smoothly.

Lin Yuan naturally knew that what the local officials wanted was for him to help promote and boost local tourism so that more foreign tourists would come to travel and consume.

Of course, Lin Yuan fully supports this.

In fact, "Legendary Road" and "Lord of Spy 2" can indeed be regarded as tourism promotional videos for central and western China.

In these two films, the Canadian forest fires and the Greenland ice sheet, although magnificent, failed to attract audiences to travel, and all the attention was given to the Yala Snow Mountain.

In recent years, his films have become internationally famous: Chang'an City, Ejina Populus euphratica forest, Hulunbuir grassland, Hukou Waterfall, Li River, Nanyue City...

Now Shu City and Yala Snow Mountain have been added.

In this way, he is worthy of the title of honorary citizen of Shu City.

Of course, in addition to Shu City, he is also an honorary citizen of more than ten cities in the country, including Chang'an City, Yanjing City, Shanghai City, Nanyue City, etc.

Lin Yuan deserves these honors. Under the influence of his films, a large number of foreign tourists have traveled to China, greatly strengthening cultural exchanges at home and abroad. This is obviously a good thing.

In Lin Yuan's previous life, foreign countries' attention and understanding of China were actually insufficient, and there were many misunderstandings.

This results in not many foreign tourists traveling to China.

Perhaps many people would think that after China launched 2023-hour visa-free entry for many countries at the end of 144, a large number of foreign tourists flocked to China, making China completely popular internationally.

There is certainly no problem with this, as visa-free travel has indeed greatly promoted exchanges between China and foreign countries. However, there are still many misunderstandings about the intensity of the exchanges.

For example, in 2024, the total number of inbound tourists to China was 1.32 million, a year-on-year increase of 60.8%.

This data is quite encouraging. The growth rate of 60.8% indicates a surge in the number of tourists.

But if you think about it carefully, there will only be 2023 million visitors in 0.82. Due to well-known reasons, the base is too low, so the increase in 2024 will be so high.

In fact, the peak number of foreign tourists arriving was 2019 million in 1.45.

2024 did not surpass the historical peak, and was even inferior to many previous years:
For example, 2018 million people visited in 1.41, and 2017 million people visited in 1.39...

Even in 2007, the number had reached 1.32 million.

Therefore, the number of foreign tourists entering the country has actually reached a saturation point very early and is growing slowly.

This is mainly because the world is still centered on Europe and the United States, and the number of people who are interested in China and want to travel to China is actually growing slowly.

In this life, due to Lin Yuan's efforts, a completely different change occurred from the previous life.

It is now 2005. In the past 2004, the number of foreign tourists to China has reached 1.39 million.

Compared with the same period in the previous life, the number of visitors was 1.09 million, which is 3000 million more.

It reached 1.39 million visitor trips ten years ahead of schedule.

It has to be said that this is a manifestation of Lin Yuan's influence.

These extra 3000 million visitors, with an average spending of $670 per person, can bring nearly $200 billion in revenue to the country.

For the domestic market in 2005, this was definitely a huge fortune.

Not to mention that in addition to economic benefits, the gains in cultural exchange and external display are equally important.

Lin Yuan can proudly say that he has made contributions to his motherland and deserves the honors he has received.

"boom!"

The loud noise coming from the big screen pulled Lin Yuan back to the cinema from his thoughts.

I saw a big hole in the ice layer caused by a Tomahawk cruise missile drilled out from underwater.

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

Next, there is the scene of the rescued bowhead whales and narwhals surfacing to breathe.

This scene appeared in the movie's pre-sale trailer.

"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."

Coupled with the sentimental subtitles, many viewers were deeply moved at the time and placed orders to pre-purchase movie tickets.

After all, in Europe and the United States, protecting animals and emphasizing harmonious coexistence between humans and nature are absolutely politically correct.

What's more, in movies, we always see how humans destroy nature in an ugly way, and it seems that if it is not filmed in this way, it will not appear to be profound enough.

When a more heartwarming scene really appears, everyone will instinctively feel more comfortable.

Therefore, when this plot appeared on the big screen again, it immediately received warm applause from the audience.

But the big screen suddenly went black:
Do you think the story ends here? (End of this chapter)
