Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 93 The Last Scene
Time quickly came to February 2002.

Except for a small accident at the beginning of filming where Depp almost drowned, the subsequent filming went extremely smoothly.

Over the past four months, most of the filming for "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been completed.

Now, all that’s left is the last highlight, which is the duel at the top of the mast designed by Lin Yuan.

It is night time now and this scene will be filmed at night.

"Lin Yuan, I want to confirm with you again, are you really insisting on filming this scene?" Director Verbinski persuaded.

"Of course, we have made so many preparations. How can we retreat when the time comes?" Lin Yuan said.

Four months ago, Lin Yuan had already convinced director Verbinski with his action design plan.

In order to increase the success rate of this scene, the staff who played opposite Lin Yuan also underwent a long period of preparatory training.

The staff involved in the filming also have to get used to standing at a height of more than 30 meters to complete their work.

All the relevant staff put in a lot of hard work and effort to prepare for this scene.

Although he had done a lot of preparation, director Verbinski was still nervous when it came to shooting.

After working together for several months, the director has fully recognized Lin Yuan, and he instinctively feels worried about Lin Yuan.

"Are you going to let him take such a risk?" Director Verbinski looked at Mr. Eisen.

He hopes that Mr. Eisen, the producer and Lin Yuan's agent, can persuade Lin Yuan.

Mr. Eisen shook his head expressionlessly: "I will support whatever he wants to do. We just need to believe that he can do it."

Lin Yuan took over and said, "Director, if this scene can be filmed, our movie will definitely be a big step up in terms of its excitement. This will benefit everyone!"

Director Verbinski didn't try to persuade Lin Yuan anymore. He just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Keep going. We all owe you a favor."

Yes, you did it and everyone had more cake and eat it.

But what if you fail?
Although Lin Yuan is working hard for himself, everyone also benefits from it, which is an objective fact.

Lin Yuan took all the risks, but everyone shared in the benefits.

It's hard for others to dislike such a person.

At this time, Johnny Depp squeezed over and said, "Lin Yuan, I still owe you a favor for saving my life, and now I owe you another one.

After filming is over, I will organize a dinner party and invite the most popular Hollywood actresses. Do you have anyone you like?

Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head. This kind of thing was indeed the style of the playboy Depp. He also ignored his flag-raising remarks.

"What do you think of Natalie Portman? She's a beautiful Harvard student with perfect intelligence and looks. I think she's a good match for you." Johnny Depp said with a wicked smile.

The little girl in "Léon: The Professional" has now grown into a bright and beautiful woman.

Two years ago, she also starred in "Star Wars: Invasion of the Clones" and can be said to be one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood.

This is not surprising. After all, if the image of a beautiful and smart student does not collapse, she will be very popular wherever she goes.

Doesn’t South Korea also have a Kim Tae-hee, who is almost a replica of Natalie Portman’s template. While gaining extremely high popularity, she also has a sense of sophistication.

"Forget it, I don't want to cause trouble." Lin Yuan refused.

"Yeah, it's better not to be involved in that circle. I know a model with long legs, Miranda Kerr, who's 175cm tall.

She has an angelic and sweet face. Are you interested?" Johnny Depp still did not give up and persisted in selling her.

Hearing Depp's words, Lin Yuan almost laughed out loud.

He has already snatched Orlando Bloom's role, and now he wants to take his wife away too?
No, not really.

The most important thing is that that is not Lin Yuan’s aesthetic preference.

"Alright, Depp. I appreciate your kindness, but right now, my biggest concern is how to film the next scene," Lin Yuan said with a smile. "I've already made all the preparations and personally checked the safety measures several times. Lin Yuan, do your best to ensure your own safety."

If you're feeling down, don't force yourself. Our backup plan actually works pretty well," said Director Verbinski.

The so-called backup plan is that Lin Yuan has already filmed a version that is not very dangerous. In case he is unable to complete this more difficult version, he will use the backup version.

In fact, this is the same as director Verbinski's decision to shoot this scene at the end, all in order to reduce the risk of the film.

After all, Lin Yuan is one of the two male characters in this movie. If his injury causes the filming to be delayed or even unable to be completed, the loss would be too great.

Facing the director's kindness, Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it myself. Then I'll go upstairs and make preparations."

After saying that, Lin Yuan jumped onto the main mast and climbed up quickly like a nimble monkey.

Over the past few months, he has climbed up the mast whenever he has time to familiarize himself with the environment of the main mast and improve his sense of balance.

Now climbing this mast again feels like coming home.

The Black Pearl had three masts.

The main mast in the middle is 33 meters high, and four crossbars fix three huge sails.

The duel location filmed today is located on the top wooden horizontal bar.

Lin Yuan quickly climbed to the top horizontal bar, and Meng Tao, who was already waiting there, extended his hand to him.

Lin Yuan took his hand, jumped up, and sat on the horizontal bar with him.

The two looked at the bright moon in the night sky, which looked like a jade plate and cast a silver light on the sea surface.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Such a beautiful scenery, and I am actually watching it with a man.

The two men lowered their heads and looked down from this height. Director Verbinski and others on the deck had become the size of candies.

The night winds at high altitudes are extremely strong, making the sails rustle, and the constantly shaking masts make it a deadly environment for people with acrophobia.

But Lin Yuan and Meng Tao were already used to it, and they sat and chatted very casually and relaxedly.

"It all depends on your performance today." Lin Yuan said to Meng Tao, who was dressed as a pirate captain.

Today, Meng Tao will act as a stand-in and play the villain Captain Barbossa, and will fight against Will.

After all, the actor Geoffrey Rush who plays Captain Barbossa is already in his 50s.

Not to mention whether it is really appropriate to pull him up to such a high place to shoot an action scene.

Even if he wanted to do so, Lin Yuan would not agree. After all, professional matters should be done by professionals.

After Meng Tao put on his makeup, put on his beard and wore a pirate captain's hat, as long as there was no close-up of his face, it would not be exposed.

These days, he and Lin Yuan have rehearsed this fight scene countless times.

The cooperation between the two sides has reached a very tacit level.

"Do you remember what I told you?" Lin Yuan asked.

"I know, I know. If anything happens to you, I will do as you say. By the way, aren't you worried about bad luck if you do this?" Meng Tao asked.

Many action actors like to ask for good luck and don’t like to make arrangements for their funeral arrangements, for fear of being unlucky.

"What do you know? This is called reverse poison milk."

　Working hard on saving the manuscript.

　　Prepare for future explosions.

　　Try hard and see if you can write 10,000 words every day?
