Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 669: The fusion of past and present

The subtitles on the big screen immediately whetted the audience's appetite.

What do you mean?
Doesn't it mean that after the USS Virginia nuclear submarine used cruise missiles to break the ice and rescue these animals, the matter did not end there?
The audience, whose appetite was whetted, started to complain:

"Isn't that a bit too mysterious? What else could possibly happen next? It's not like the narwhals are going to come back and give you a certificate, are they?"

"Hahahaha, how can I possibly give you a certificate? I can't repay you for saving my life, but repaying you with my body is a bit possible."

"Wow, you have such strong tastes! You even don't let go of narwhals? But these narwhals are all male. How can you pledge your love to them? You can't do it with swords, can you? But first, take a good look at that meter-long horn before you speak."

"Who says I can't pledge my love for you? I heard narwhal meat is delicious! No seasoning needed, just a little oil and fry it on both sides until it sizzles. Sprinkle it with a little coarse salt, and your mouth will be filled with the aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of fat, comparable to top-grade wagyu beef."

"Stop, stop! You're really *paying it back with your own flesh and blood. Don't think of such a heartwarming story in a weird way."

Amid the audience's joyful complaints, the picture on the movie screen suddenly shook violently.

Without any psychological expectation, Depp rolled forward suddenly, and his back hit the sideboard heavily with a loud bang.

"Boom!"

The audience gasped at the sound, and it felt painful just by hearing it.

"F*CK! My back!" Depp wailed in pain as he lay on the ground.

Meng Tao and director Cohen were also in a mess, but Meng Tao reacted quickly and hugged the dining table first.

Director Cohen didn't bump into the sideboard like Depp did because of Lin Yuan's special care.

Otherwise, the consequences would be quite serious for an old man who is almost 60 years old.

"Isn't underwater sailing supposed to be smooth? Why is it more bumpy than when flying on a plane and encountering strong air currents?" Depp complained.

"Nothing serious happened, right?"

Just as Meng Tao opened his mouth, a shrill alarm sounded in the submarine, shattering his last glimmer of hope.

"We are falling, continuing to fall." Lin Yuan said.

"Could it be that we encountered a cliff in the sea?" Meng Tao's face turned very ugly.

At this time, the "creaking" sound of metal friction came from all directions, which made people feel creepy.

This is the dying "howl" of the Virginia submarine hull after it was subjected to pressure beyond its limit.

The harsh creaking sound mixed with the alarm sounded like the approaching footsteps of death.

The audience has already learned what the "sea cliff" is, so they naturally know what kind of danger Lin Yuan and his friends are experiencing at the moment.

If it sinks too deep, the Virginia's hull will be crushed and broken into countless small fragments under the huge water pressure, scattered over dozens of square kilometers of the seabed.

The "creaking" sound at this time indicated that the shell could no longer bear the weight, and all the audience in the theater felt the fear that a sharp blade was about to fall over their heads.

No one in the theater spoke. Everyone's heart was in their throat, and they seemed to be unable to breathe.

At this moment, a "bang" sound was heard.

It made everyone feel relieved.

"Although I had watched the press conference about Lin Yuan's injury and knew that the Virginia was not completely crushed by the water pressure, I still didn't expect it to be so terrifying when the accident happened!" said a spectator, patting his chest with lingering fear.

"It's so scary, that feeling of powerlessness where your life is completely out of your control and you can only leave it to fate."

"Just leave it to fate? Lin Yuan isn't that kind of person. Wasn't it his persistence that gave the entire Virginia crew a chance to survive?"

As the audience member spoke, the video footage that they had watched a few months ago reappeared before everyone's eyes.

At the press conference where Lin Yuan was injured for the second time, Lieutenant Colonel Louis played a video.

Now, this video appears on the big screen again.

In the picture, the scene of Lin Yuan holding a silver needle and piercing his own eardrum with his own hands has shocked the hearts of countless people.

Everyone who has seen this scene cannot help but feel sincere admiration and emotion for Lin Yuan.

Today, when this scene appeared again in "Legendary Road", although the audience had seen it many times before, they were still deeply moved.

No one thinks this is "watering down the length" because no matter how many times you watch it, this scene can still make people feel a surge of emotions: moved, admired, sad, expectant, self-blame...

All kinds of emotions are intertwined, and it makes people feel uneasy every time they watch it.

Just when viewers thought they were just rewatching old footage, they quickly noticed the differences.

A clip that had not been seen in the previous press conference appeared on the big screen.

Lin Yuan took the welding tools from Lieutenant Colonel Louis, and this scene immediately sparked heated discussion among the audience:

"So Lin Yuan chose to go out in the deep sea to weld the cracked submarine hull? I've been curious for a long time how he's going to repair the Virginia after going out."

"God! Can you weld underwater?"

"Of course, don't you know there's a job called underwater welding?"

"But how do you generate enough heat underwater to melt the metal welding rod?"

"You don't understand this, do you? An electric welding gun produces a lot of dense small bubbles underwater. The bubbles displace the water, causing local drying, and then the welding work can be completed."

"I don't care about the principles. What I want to know is, how did Lin Yuan learn welding? This can't be something he learned on the spur of the moment, right?"

This audience member's words aroused the curiosity of other audience members.

It is indeed as he said, welding is not a simple job. Without learning and long-term operation, it is impossible to weld the cracks firmly, let alone the more difficult underwater welding.

Director Coen seemed to have guessed the audience's doubts, or perhaps he wanted to express some of his thoughts here.

A clip was inserted on the big screen, which perfectly answered this question:

Depp put his hands behind his head and said, "How come Lin Yuan is so versatile? He can do everything. It's okay that he dances well, after all, dancing relies on athletic ability and it's his main profession.

But welding is totally irrelevant, right? Although I don't know how to weld, Lin Yuan's skills are definitely not worse than those of an experienced welder."

Depp said this with the original intention of adjusting the dull atmosphere in the command cabin.

But he didn't expect that the atmosphere would become even more depressing as soon as he said this.

Am I wrong to praise Lin Yuan?
"Shut up! If you don't know how to speak, don't speak!" Meng Tao, his good friend, scolded him, "Didn't you just hear Lin Yuan say that when he was a teenager and before he debuted, he could only do odd jobs like welding to earn a living?

If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sew your mouth shut!"

Director Cohen inserted another close-up shot of Lin Yuan here.

He smiled and said to Lieutenant Colonel Louis and others:

"Don't worry, the cracks I weld won't break. I've been a welder for six years, starting when I was ten. I've welded more cracks than Johnny Depp has ever laid eyes on.

Once I welded for ten hours straight and my eyes were blurry, but I still managed to complete the subsequent welding tasks relying on my hands.

"After leaving the cabin, even with poor underwater lighting, I can successfully complete the mission. I have confidence, so don't worry." Lin Yuan said this to tell Lieutenant Colonel Louis and others not to worry about his welding skills, as he has many years of experience.

Even though the underwater visibility is very poor, he can complete the welding work blindly.

But as soon as he said this, both Lieutenant Colonel Louis and others in the camera and the audience in the theater could not help but have tears in their eyes.

Ten years old...

Isn't ten years old still a child?
Why are we forced by the burden of life to work in factory workshops to earn a living?
No one wants to blame the boss who hired him for being unscrupulous, and everyone knows that the boss is helping him.

Otherwise, how much money can be saved by using child labor, which is strictly prohibited by law?
Compared to the huge fines or even imprisonment that the boss may have to pay after being caught, the cost-effectiveness of using Linyuan is really too low.

The boss is definitely helping him by hiring Lin Yuan.

Obviously Lin Yuan also realized this, so he worked hard.

Continuous welding for more than ten hours?
Don’t you want eyes anymore?

When welding, people often wear protective masks, but damage is still unavoidable.

For example, ultraviolet radiation. The strong ultraviolet rays produced by electric welding can cause photoelectric eye inflammation. Symptoms include pain, tearing, photophobia and blepharospasm, which usually appear several hours after exposure.

There is also infrared radiation, and long-term exposure to infrared radiation can cause cataracts and retinal damage.

Therefore, welders must be forced to take a 1-minute break after working for 2 to 15 hours to allow their eyes to fully relax.

But even so, many welders will suffer from various eye disease sequelae.

Lin Yuan actually worked for more than ten hours in a row?

In everyone's eyes, the following picture appeared:
In the dim workshop, the arc light of the welding gun flashed dazzlingly, like a sharp knife, cutting the air again and again, and also stinging the children's tender eyes.

The half-grown Lin Yuan squatted on the ground, the welding gun in his hand trembling slightly, sparks flying from the welding point, reflecting his young but tired face.

His eyes were already bloodshot and his eyelids were so heavy that they almost drooped, but he still forced himself not to stop.

His eyes felt like they were burned by fire, dry and painful, as if countless tiny needles were pricking his eyeballs.

He couldn't help but blink, and tears immediately welled up, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto his oil-stained work clothes.

He raised his sleeve and wiped his tears roughly, but the more he wiped, the more tears came out and his vision became more blurred.

The welding spot in front of him had become a blurry halo, and he could only rely on his memory and feel to grope and aim the welding gun at the right position.

"Hold on a little longer, it will be fine soon..." He told himself silently in his heart, but his hands moved slower and slower.

The pain in his eyes made it almost impossible for him to concentrate. The scene in front of him was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, as if covered by a layer of fog.

He knew he couldn't see clearly anymore, but the work wasn't done yet and he couldn't stop.

The flickering firelight made Lin Yuan's young figure look longer and thinner.

"Alas... Lin Yuan has had a really hard time." An audience member in the theater sighed.

"No wonder he's so fearless when filming. This kid has endured a lot of hardships since he was young..."

"I really want to travel back more than a decade, hug Lin Yuan back then, and tell him: Hang in there, your life will be incredibly wonderful in the future. You will become a superstar loved by countless people around the world, and you deserve it all."

In the corner of the cinema, Lin Yuan felt a cool and wet sensation on the back of his hand.

They were Liu Yufei's tears.

Lin Yuan touched her head and whispered in her ear, "Don't cry, everything is over. Am I not very happy now?"

"I didn't know you had such a hard time before, and you didn't even tell me."

"What nonsense are you talking about? When I was working in the factory, you hadn't come to New York to study yet. I didn't even know you then, so I couldn't even eat your gigolo."

"That's what makes me feel worse. I couldn't help you."

Lin Yuan took her hand and put it on his face: "No, you helped me before. I was your gigolo."

"Is there?" Liu Yufei asked doubtfully.

"Rich woman, food, delicious food." Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Do you have any impression?"

"Pfft."

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Liu Yufei burst into laughter.

She remembered it.

That was the night in Douglaston when Lin Yuan first met Mr. Eisen.

That night, Lin Yuan demonstrated how to grasp the heart of an old man, and thus obtained a huge investment of 1000 million US dollars.

With this money, Lin Yuan impressed director Johnston and became the star of "Jurassic Park 3", and reshot a large part of the scenes.

But this money could only be used for movies, and he was still short of money. He couldn't afford to buy anything privately.

It was Liu Yufei who took a bank card with $30 and put it into Lin Yuan's pocket.

"I can't just take other people's money."

"You said I'm not someone else!"

From that moment on, Lin Yuan was completely convinced that this woman in front of him was beautiful both inside and out.

So he broke his principles for the first time and took over this "huge sum of money" from Liu Yufei.

Since we are family, there is really no need to differentiate between us.

"Okay, I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would be fed by a rich woman. Rich woman, food, food, delicious!"

"That's right! But what the hell is a 'rich woman'? I'm still a girl!"

“The key is the fragrance!”

The sounds of fighting at that time are still ringing in my ears.

Before I knew it, it had been several years.

Many things have changed dramatically.

He is no longer that poor boy.

She is no longer that unreachable goddess.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the two people's determination to move forward hand in hand.

Life with you is so wonderful.

Lin Yuan thought so, and so did Liu Yufei. (End of this chapter)
