Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 89 Rescue, Source God activated!
Going back ten minutes, the filming was in progress.

At the top of the fortress wall, Brigadier General Norrington was chatting with Elizabeth.

This handsome brigadier general, who looked very much like Captain America, kept talking about his great achievements and ambitions, but he didn't notice that Elizabeth was already suffocating due to the torture of the corset.

She kept fanning herself and breathing heavily.

"I've already achieved some success in my career, now all I need is..."

Brigadier Norrington was about to confess with a smile, but was surprised to find that Elizabeth fell headfirst to the outside of the stone wall.

She was wearing a white floral dress and fell from a height of dozens of meters.

"Pfft!"

There was a huge splash on the sea.

Of course, the person falling from a height during the filming of this scene was just a dummy wearing the same costume.

If a real person falls into the water from such a height, they will find that it is actually not much different from falling on the concrete floor.

However, the audience's common sense is different. They think that people can still get a cushioning effect when falling from a high place into the water.

Since the audience won't find fault and the effect is better when filming this way, directors and screenwriters are naturally keen to do so. After all, there is no reward for being too serious about it.

"It's your turn," said Director Verbinski.

The next plot is that Captain Jack, who was stealing a ship, saw Elizabeth fall into the water.

He immediately made a leap without hesitation, dived into the sea beautifully, and rescued Elizabeth from the sea.

"This damn weather! Okay, okay!" Depp was actually resisting in his heart.

It's really a torture to jump into the icy sea water in such cold weather.

But if we can't complete this scene beautifully today, there won't be sunny days like this for filming in the next few days.

While doing warm-up exercises, Johnny Depp muttered to himself, "These damn experts are completely unreliable. They talk about global warming, but now it's freezing cold."

Once Depp is ready, he signals to the director that filming can begin.

"Action!"

With the sound of the clapperboard, Captain Jack jumped into the sea in a dashing manner.

While in mid-air, Depp kept thinking: "That action actor's literary performance is not bad, I have to work hard to do my action scenes well!"

"Pfft!"

The moment you dive into the water.

The huge water pressure was like a fierce punch, hitting Depp's head hard, making him a little dizzy.

But before he could come to his senses, the biting cold made him sink to the bottom of the sea like a frozen stone.

He tried hard to move his limbs to paddle, but found that his clothes, after being soaked with water, were like thick hemp ropes binding him, making it difficult for him to move.

The leather boots on his feet, after being filled with seawater, sank like two iron balls, pulling him towards the bottom of the sea.

"Oh my God! Nothing's going to happen, is it? I'm not going to die here today, am I?"

A thought flashed through his mind, and Depp was a little panicked. He tried desperately to swim to the surface of the sea, but the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

This scene mainly captures Captain Jack's heroic figure entering the sea. Unlike the following scenes, it does not require filming the character's underwater performance.

Therefore, there was no diving photographer accompanying this shoot.

The crew prepared safety buoyancy equipment, but they did not put it in place at the beginning to avoid being exposed during filming.

After filming the scene where Captain Jack Sparrow enters the water, the crew immediately threw the buoyancy equipment overboard. Depp is a good swimmer, so he should have only had to flutter a few times to grab the safety equipment.

But he didn't come up...

After a few seconds, the crew members realized that something was wrong and started shouting to each other. Several staff members who were good at swimming also jumped in to rescue people.

Lin Yuan was also quite surprised to see everyone in such a mess.

I don’t remember anything like this happening in my previous life. This is really unexpected.

Maybe it’s because the filming of “Pirates of the Caribbean” in a previous life started a few months later, and the weather was not so cold then.

Like today, encountering several cold waves and continuous temperature drops can really be considered a natural disaster.

The freezing cold sea water will greatly increase the difficulty of shooting.

Lin Yuan was also worried about any shooting accidents, so he ran quickly towards the shooting location.

After a few steps, he arrived at the sailboat used for filming.

Lin Yuan saw the rescue workers floating on the water, holding the float and breathing heavily, but Depp was still nowhere to be seen.

"What's wrong, Director?" Lin Yuan asked.

"The weather was too cold. The staff who went into the water to rescue people were almost frozen. They didn't dare to dive underwater and were forced to float up." Director Verbinski's face was ashen.

"Doesn't the crew have a lifeguard?" Lin Yuan asked.

In theory, in order to avoid accidents when shooting such water scenes, professional lifeguards must be deployed.

If the crew members who are good at swimming were asked to go into the water to rescue people, the effect would definitely be worse. It is not surprising that the rescue failed due to the cold.

"Originally there were two of them. One took leave because of a fever and a cold from yesterday's temperature drop, and the other just stepped on air and twisted his ankle while rushing over here."

He felt that he was extremely unlucky. Why did the damn weather suddenly become so cold?

Depp is obviously a good swimmer, so how come he couldn't even reach the life-saving equipment that was so close to him?

What if he really got into an accident?
There was a lifeguard, but he was of no use at all!

A series of thoughts flashed through Director Verbinski's mind.

"Let me try it in the water." Lin Yuan said as he began to take off his clothes quickly.

"Can you do it? If something happens to you, it will be all over," said Director Verbinski.

"Although I'm not a professional swimmer, my physical fitness is there, so don't worry."

"Thank you! I really don't know what to say to express my gratitude." Director Verbinski held Lin Yuan's hand tightly.

Thinking of the advanced athletic ability that Lin Yuan demonstrated when filming action scenes, maybe he could really save Johnny Depp?
It’s impossible that Lin Yuan didn’t feel Depp’s hostility, but he was willing to risk his life to save him?
Director Verbinski couldn't help but feel more favorable towards Lin Yuan.

In fact, Lin Yuan’s idea is very simple. He will not sit idly by and watch Johnny Depp get into trouble.

From a public perspective, Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Depp, is the soul of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Lin Yuan also hopes that this movie will be a big hit and beat "The Lord of the Rings" to complete the task assigned by the system.

From a personal perspective, although Depp has some hostility towards Lin Yuan, it is understandable. Moreover, Depp is not a bad person by nature, and this is a good opportunity to unite with him.

"Be safe!"

Director Verbinski was also afraid that if another accident happened, the movie would be completely ruined.

Lin Yuan, who was well prepared, nodded to reassure him, then quickly dived into the sea.
