Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 88 Depp's Second Entry into the Film Industry
Filming continues.

Will was about to respond to the Governor's compliment when he heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Elizabeth had changed into a white floral dress and was coming down the stairs.

"Elizabeth, you look so beautiful! I don't believe any man can resist your charm!" The Governor praised loudly.

Seeing the beautiful side of his sweetheart, Will was stunned for a moment, as if stunned.

But his eyes soon lit up and were filled with joy.

Will didn't say a word. In front of the Governor, he had no right to say anything. He could only keep this admiration in his heart.

Elizabeth saw Will downstairs and shouted happily, "Will? It's so good to see you!"

Then she quickly trotted down the stairs.

Elizabeth only had eyes for Will. She walked straight to him and said, "I dreamed of you last night!"

Will's eyes lit up, but he quickly calmed down.

Under the Governor's strange gaze, Will could only pretend to be confused and asked, "Is it me?"

"Don't you think this is inappropriate?" the Governor couldn't help but interrupt.

Elizabeth completely ignored her old father and continued to say to Will: "Do you remember the day we met?"

"How could I forget, Miss Swan?" Will replied.

Here, Lin Yuan handled it extremely delicately.

The first half of the sentence, "How could I forget?", expresses extremely excited emotions.

Just by listening to these words, you can feel Will's deep love.

But in the second half of the sentence, the mood suddenly took a turn for the worse, expressing a strong sense of self-restraint. He distanced himself from Elizabeth and called her "Miss Swan".

"The lines, expressions, and body movements are all perfect, and there's not a single flaw to find." Director Verbinski couldn't help but sigh.

"With this level, I should be able to achieve it if I try hard." Johnny Depp never admits defeat.

The performance on the set continues.

"How many times do I have to tell you? Please call me Elizabeth!"

She didn't mind Will deliberately keeping his distance, but took a step forward, put her face closer to him, and spoke seriously.

"At least one more time, Miss Swan!" Will looked directly at Elizabeth and answered seriously.

His eyes were so sincere that he believed Elizabeth understood his heart:
Although I have to pretend to keep a distance from you in front of outsiders because of the difference in status, there is no distance between us in our hearts.

Elizabeth nodded and was about to speak, but the Governor spoke first:
"Only close people can address you like that. Look, this guy knows how to be polite and that's good!"

"We should go now, otherwise we will be late." Then, without giving Elizabeth any more time to say anything, the governor pulled her out and got into the carriage and left.

Will stood at the door, looking at the carriage going away, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Goodbye, Elizabeth."

Because of the environment the male protagonist is in, he can only say this sentence in a very low voice.

Generally speaking, if the volume of the lines is low, they are easy to be unclear and unclear, and it also gives people a feeling of lack of confidence and weakness.

But if that happens, Will's character image will collapse and he will become very unlikable.

No one likes a weak male protagonist.

But when these words came out of Lin Yuan's mouth, although the volume was very low, they were surprisingly clear, and every word was pronounced cleanly and clearly.

Not only is it understandable, but the low voice also carries an inexplicable confidence and determination.

Everyone can clearly feel the fire in Will's heart. He does not feel inferior because of the huge gap in status between him and the heroine. On the contrary, he is full of fighting spirit!

Maybe now I can only whisper your name to each other in secret, but one day, I will be able to call you intimately in front of everyone and show everyone our close relationship. Will's determined eyes also proved his mood at the moment.

After watching this performance, director Verbinski was speechless for a long time.

After being stunned for a while, he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something.

So he shouted anxiously:

"Cut!"

"Very good, this shot is great." He gave a thumbs up, expressing his affirmation from the bottom of his heart.

If Annie's performance was just average, neither good nor bad, then Lin Yuan's performance truly amazed him.

This is an action actor who has only appeared in three action movies and is only 19 years old. What acting skills can he have?

Whether it is the understanding of acting, acting skills, body shape, or lines, there are no shortcomings, and they are even excellent!

Even for an old actor who has been immersed in acting for decades, it is extremely difficult to achieve this level.

"Depp, what do you think of him?" Director Verbinski couldn't help asking.

"I admit that he is a little bit better than me, but it's only a little bit, extremely limited."

In the face of the ironclad facts, Johnny Depp did not ignore them, but still saved some face for himself.

"We should work harder. Seeing Lin Yuan's performance, we can't afford to lose," said director Verbinski.

"Yes!"

"Then the next scene depends on you. Although it will be a bit painful, I look forward to your performance!"

"Huh?" Johnny Depp felt something was wrong.

……

……

The next scene was filmed at the inauguration ceremony of Brigadier General Norrington. Elizabeth, who was suffocating in the corset, fell off the edge of the city wall and into the sea.

When Captain Jack saw someone fall into the water, he dived into the sea and rescued Elizabeth.

Just looking at the script, this scene is not difficult to perform.

However, considering the current temperature, it might be a bit of a torture.

In the past few days, several consecutive waves of cold air have moved south, instantly plunging the entire North American continent into severe winter mode.

In the North, Midwest, and even the Great Lakes region of the Northeast, blizzards occurred in many places, thousands of flights were canceled, and traffic accidents in snowy weather also caused many casualties.

Even the temperature in Miami hit the lowest temperature ever recorded at this point in time.

So in such cold weather, jumping into the sea...

Depp thought about how he was knocked into the sea by Lin Yuan. Although he was rescued immediately, he was still shivering with cold.

But today, when we were filming this scene, we had to spend much longer soaking in the cold sea water!

As a professional actor, Depp could not be a deserter.

So after the scene was prepared, we started filming.

"Action!"

Not long after filming began, Lin Yuan, who was resting on a chair at the side of the set, heard the crew members shouting in confusion:
"Help! Depp is sinking into the sea!"
