Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 82 Transition to Pirates of the Caribbean

After Taylor, who else can establish an intimate relationship with Shi?

Lin Yuan, who had no answer for the moment, put this question aside for the time being.

System, show me my current success rate in challenging action scenes, Lin Yuan muttered to himself.

[Action scene danger level C, host success rate: 99.9%.]

[Challenging C-level dangerous action scenes, the host will no longer receive attribute rewards. ]

[Action scene danger level B, host success rate: 48%.]

Sure enough, with the addition of several new master-level skills and the further improvement of attributes.

Action scenes with a C-level dangerous level are no longer challenging and the system will no longer give rewards.

The success rate of B-level dangerous action scenes is greatly improved.

It increased from the previous 35% to 48%.

Lin Yuan’s current attributes have not yet reached the upper limit. If he can continue to add points through serial tasks and combine them with new skills, he will be able to obtain them.

In the near future, he will have the opportunity to challenge B-level dangerous action scenes.

In "Heroes", this opportunity to replace the B-level dangerous challenge with a B-level difficulty is extremely rare.

If it weren't for Li Renjie's cooperation, it would have been difficult for anyone else to achieve this.

It is almost impossible to use card bugs to increase the difficulty and avoid facing B-level dangerous action scenes.

The opportunity to play "Hero" with a B-level difficulty is something you can only come across by chance.

So in the end, if Lin Yuan wants to obtain attribute points continuously, he still has to face the B-level dangerous action scenes.

He had estimated in his mind that the danger level of B-grade action scenes would exceed all the scenes ever presented in film history.

Maybe he'll need to walk an unprotected tightrope between skyscrapers?

Climbing the Burj Khalifa with bare hands?

Or jumping from a high altitude without a parachute?

Anyway, it must be as dangerous as possible.

Lin Yuan decided to wait and see first, and then take the challenge when the success rate was relatively stable.

It's really unacceptable that you already have so much and yet you still take risks to seek death.

……

……

The intensive filming over the past month has finally come to an end, which also means the completion of Lin Yuan's scenes.

Lin Yuan is still very much looking forward to the box office performance of "Hero".

Although "Hero" may not be as big as those Hollywood blockbusters, it still grossed $1.77 million at the global box office.

The domestic box office reached 2.5 million, accounting for a quarter of the total domestic box office in 2002.

The North American box office was $5371 million, in addition to $2170 million in DVD sales. This record will not be broken by any domestic film until 2024.

The box office of "Hero" in Japan also reached 3 million yuan.

The number of moviegoers in South Korea reached 191 million, still breaking the historical record of Chinese-language films.

In this life, because of Lin Yuan's intervention, he believed that he would definitely achieve better results.

If we take into account that Lin Yuan has already gained some initial reputation in the North American action movie market, and with the help of Mr. Eisen in distribution, perhaps the North American box office can be expected to exceed 1 million US dollars.

If Lin Yuan can develop the Japanese market, it is entirely possible that he can achieve better results.

All in all, Lin Yuan believes that "Hero", which cost $3000 million to produce, should be able to earn at least $2.5 million in global box office revenue.

In terms of awards, "Hero" has not won any major international awards.

It only received some nominations, but ultimately failed to win any awards.

Taking the Oscars as an example, the failure of "Hero" to win any was due to a combination of lack of talent and bad luck. On the one hand, it was because the script of "Hero" was not well received by foreigners in its original time and space. The main reason it was recognized was because of the gorgeous visual effects.

On the other hand, because "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has just won many awards, it would be inappropriate to give the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film to a Chinese-language film.

After all, things like treating everyone equally and dividing the pork are common everywhere.

The bigwigs on the Oscar jury certainly want to treat everyone equally, and it's time to attract films in other languages.

If Hero wants to change their minds, it will have to demonstrate a more indisputable influence.

This is also the reason why Lin Yuan tried his best to push director Zhang Mou to revise the script and try his best to shoot the scene of the duel between Canjian and Wuming in the Qin Palace Hall.

He didn't want "Hero" to develop as history had predetermined.

But all this will have to wait until 6 months later.

The tentative release date for "Hero" is May 2002, which is close to the release date of "The Mummy Returns" this year, both at the beginning of the North American summer season.

As Lin Yuan finished filming his last scene, he needed to return to New York and join the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew to start filming.

It was Meng Tao who drove him to the airport, as the other crew members still had a lot of scenes to shoot.

In order to accommodate Lin Yuan's schedule, director Zhang Mou prioritized filming his scenes.

Lin Yuan, who has now completed the filming task, has returned first, and Meng Tao needs to finish filming the remaining scenes and then rush over to meet up with Lin Yuan.

"Thank you for your hard work. Please give me a ride." Lin Yuan said.

"No need to say thanks, you're the boss, this is what you should do."

It was this familiar accent again, which made Lin Yuan speechless.

But he still asked one more question: "You're so busy that you don't even have time to take care of your family. Won't your wife and children have any objections?"

Meng Tao is 34 years old this year, which is theoretically the age when his children are young and need more companionship.

"Don't worry, I'm a DINK and don't have any children to take care of. As for my wife, she's already in New York for vacation. I just need to take some time to spend time with her," Meng Tao explained.

"Dink? Are you a die-hard Dink?" Lin Yuan was quite surprised.

After all, in his impression, people in Hong Kong attach great importance to continuing the family line, and it is very rare for them to choose to be DINKs.

"Of course, my wife and I made up our minds a long time ago. I've been sterilized for more than ten years, and even if I want to unblock it now, it probably won't be easy to recover." Meng Tao revealed a bombshell.

"Fuck! You are such a fierce guy that you cut off your own sperm veins!" Lin Yuan had to admit.

"Severing one's own meridians?" Meng Tao was stunned for a moment, then realized it with a smile and punched Lin Yuan with a smile.

"Just drop it off here. See you in Florida!" Meng Tao waved goodbye.

……

……

Mr. Eisen's study.

The old man handed the script to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan opened the script and read a few pages, and felt that it was different from what he remembered.

So he continued reading until he finished reading it all.

Then he asked, "Has the script been revised?"

Although Lin Yuan would request changes to the script almost every time he joined a film shoot, this time it was not really his request.

In the past, we had to change the script because we had to increase his role in order to attract the audience's attention.

But he didn't intend to do so in the script of "Pirates of the Caribbean". Originally, he just wanted to make some of the action scenes more exciting through his own efforts.

But the script he saw now was very different from what he remembered.

This will trigger a series of chain reactions, right?
