Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 90: First time as a substitute
Lin Yuan dived into the sea and immediately felt the coldness of the water, but he did not find it unbearable.

Although his physique is the lowest among the three major attributes, it is still 15 points, much higher than that of ordinary people.

His strong physique helped him reduce many negative effects when fighting against the icy sea water.

It was a sunny day today, providing ample light and views.

The sea where this scene was filmed was not deep, estimated to be only about 20 to 30 meters.

In the blue sea, Lin Yuan found Depp's position underwater at a glance.

He kicked his legs and swam towards him quickly.

At this time, Depp, after choking on the water several times, was already a little confused.

He opened his hazy eyes and saw the sunlight shining into the sea, and the rippling waves had a dreamy feeling.

"Is this what it feels like to die? If I had known it would be like this, I should have made a will before leaving and divided the money among my girlfriends. What a shame!"

"If they don't fish my body out, they'll just leave it in the sea to feed the fish. Doesn't that seem like a bad idea?"

"They say that when fish eat human flesh, they like to start from the protruding tubular parts. But that doesn't seem so nice anymore."

"The person is gone, why do you still care about this? Is this considered a disguised form of fish helping me..."

At the last moment, he couldn't help but think of these messy things in his mind.

"What kind of illusion is this? Such beautiful muscle lines?"

Johnny Depp saw a strong man swimming towards him quickly.

At this moment, he felt as if a life-saving god was approaching him.

Depp couldn't help but wave.

The man swam closer and closer, and Depp saw his face clearly and recognized him.

Is it Lin Yuan?
Lin Yuan swam quickly behind him, put one arm through his armpit, and swam upwards with Depp.

It rose very quickly and reached the surface of the sea in a few seconds.

Seeing the two people surface, the staff nearby quickly approached and stuffed the buoyancy boards into their arms.

Seeing this scene, Director Verbinski finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The crisis was finally resolved. Lin Yuan was so reliable and made people feel safe.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shout out loudly: "Lin Yuan! Good job!"

The crew members on the boat also applauded and cheered:

"Lin Yuan, you are amazing! You are our hero!"

"I want to be your fan for life! I'll never climb over the wall!"

"I just noticed that Lin Yuan has beautiful muscle lines. His chest muscles! His long legs that are full of power! He's like a marble statue in a museum!" This was said by a female staff member.

"It's so beautiful, as beautiful as a work of art. I quickly took a photo and kept it for my collection." Another female staff member replied.

“Take a few more pictures and give me a copy!”

"I also want!"

"You are a man, why do you want this photo?"

"Although I am biologically male, I have a woman's heart!"

"..."

When Lin Yuan and Depp returned to the filming boat, he received a warm welcome like a hero returning home.

The crowd lifted him up and threw him into the air with cheers.

After a while, Lin Yuan was finally let down at the signal of Director Verbinski.

"Thank you, Lin Yuan." The director's tone was very sincere.

"It's nothing, just a small favor." "You saved my life. It was a small favor for you, but I can't take it lightly."

Johnny Depp, who was soaked all over, stretched out his arms and wanted to hug Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan silently took a step back and distanced himself: "We Orientals are not used to this kind of behavior. I appreciate your kindness."

Just kidding, Lin Yuan hadn't put on his clothes yet, and he didn't want to hug another wet man like this.

"Okay, I'm going to treat you to dinner tonight, you have to agree to this." Johnny Depp didn't force it.

Lin Yuan did not refuse again and nodded in agreement.

"Director, this matter is over. Let's hurry up and shoot the movie, otherwise it will be delayed for many days."

Then, Lin Yuan said to Director Verbinski.

The weather will turn gloomy in the next few days.

If there is no sunny weather for many days in a row, it will be impossible to capture the desired picture effect.

So these scenes must be completed today.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Director Verbinski nodded and said, "Everyone, return to your workstations and get ready to continue filming!"

The underwater photographer began to put on his diving suit and prepare. The next scene to be filmed was Captain Jack retrieving Elizabeth who had fallen into the water from the bottom of the sea.

Just like how Lin Yuan rescued Johnny Depp just now.

Hearing the director say this, Depp's face turned a little pale. He said guiltily: "Can't we shoot later? I'm a little psychologically traumatized now."

This is not Depp's fault. After all, he almost drowned just now, and now he is asked to go into the water again...

Anyone would feel scared.

When director Verbinski heard Depp's words, his first reaction was embarrassment.

He could understand Depp's current feelings, and it was indeed inhumane to force him to go into the adult entertainment industry to film.

But if we don’t shoot it today, it will be delayed for many days.

How can this be good?

"I'm a little scared too. I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve the effect you, the director, want."

Anne Hathaway on the side also raised her hand and said.

In the next scene, she had to relax her body and let herself slowly sink into the sea.

But the sea water was icy and she was scared inside, so she could only act very stiff. How could she possibly capture that relaxing effect?
Seeing this difficult problem, Lin Yuan was also very worried.

May 2002 was the most ideal release date in his mind.

If it could be released at that time, the possibility of beating "The Lord of the Rings 2" would be greater.

But if there is a delay like the one we are seeing during filming, which results in a postponement of the final release date, that would be really bad.

"Hold on? Let's give it a try? Don't worry, there's a diving photographer next to us during the filming of this scene, so there won't be any more accidents." Director Verbinski tried to persuade the two.

"Maybe we can try tomorrow. I definitely can't do it today." Johnny Depp shook his head and refused.

"I'm still a little scared..." Annie didn't finish her words, but her attitude was very clear.

It’s not her fault. Anne is not good at swimming, so she is even more afraid of filming in the water.

The weather was so cold, the sea was so icy, and she was frightened by what happened to Depp just now, so it was not surprising that she had such a reaction.

"In that case, then we can only..." The director was ready to compromise.

"Let me shoot this scene for Depp!" Lin Yuan suddenly raised his hand and interrupted the director.

Lin Yuan had no choice but to do this, as he was more worried about the shooting progress than anyone else.

"Annie, I'd like to go into the water with you to shoot this scene. Are you willing to give it a try with me around?" Lin Yuan asked.
