Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 206 Meng Tao Becomes the Bull Head
Taylor Swift's eyes sparkled when she heard Lin Yuan's answer.

Which woman doesn’t like a man to look confident?

But most of the time, men appear overly conceited rather than confident.

But Lin Yuan used his past achievements to prove that he was never conceited, but sometimes even too humble.

He said he could win the annual championship, so he should really win it, right?
"I believe your words. If I don't succeed, I'll be very sad. You have to comfort me!"

As soon as these words came out, Taylor Swift felt that she was sure to win and she was secretly laughing in her heart.

Will it fail?

Lin Yuan recalled the popular singles on Billboard in 2003. Indeed, there were still many strong competitors, and many songs were still frequently heard as BGM in 2024.

For example:
"Far away from home" comes from Groove Coverage and ranks seventh of the year.

Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" ranked sixth in the year.

"Just one last dance" ranked fifth of the year, "Cry on my shoulder" ranked third of the year, and "God is a girl" ranked second of the year.

And "Numb" from Linkin Park became the number one single of the year.

In her previous life, Taylor Swift was a new singer. The best-performing song on her second album, Fearless, was "You Belong with Me."

This song reached the second place on the real-time song chart and the eleventh place on the annual overall chart.

This also officially started her journey as "Taylor Swift", where she was stuck in first place and always missed out on the number one single.

But this life is different. Lin Yuan believes that with the bonus of his super buff, Taylor Swift has every chance of winning the annual championship and entering the stage of dominating the music scene early.

So he said confidently: "Don't worry, if you really can't reach the level of the annual champion, I will pay for you to add water!"

After hearing Lin Yuan's reply, Taylor Swift angrily hit him lightly: "I don't want to win by such dirty tricks!"

But she immediately laughed again: "Are you kidding me? Would you really do that?"

Lin Yuan shook his head: "No matter what I want to do, I have no chance, because my popularity is too high!"

This conceited look is really annoying, but Taylor Swift has to admit that he is telling the truth.

"This album will be available for sale early next year, and then I'll be able to make more money to help you," Taylor said.

"You can actually help me more now."

"Ok?"

"Once this album is finished, I'll take you to meet someone," Lin Yuan said.

Mr. Eisen has urged him many times to bring the candidates over.

After much thought, there is no one more suitable than Taylor Swift.

Such a huge power can only be handed over to someone who is absolutely trusted.

"The raindrops flying in the sky are my tears..."

"Who knows that sincere devotion will only result in separation..."

At this moment, Lin Yuan's cell phone rang.

He took out his cell phone and took a look: Mr. Eisen.

So Lin Yuan immediately answered: "Hello?"

"Something happened to Meng Tao..."

……

……

When Lin Yuan arrived at Meng Tao's home in New York, he was sitting on the floor in a dejected manner, surrounded by empty wine bottles.

Seeing Lin Yuan coming in, Meng Tao raised his head, his eyes red.

"You're here?"

"Ah."

"She's pregnant!" He gritted his teeth and said these four short words.

Lin Yuan knew that the "she" Meng Tao was talking about was his wife.

Lin Yuan remembered that Meng Tao said that he and his wife were a DINK couple, and in order to show his determination, Meng Tao underwent sterilization surgery more than ten years ago.

He is infertile.

(See Chapter 82 for details)
At that time, Lin Yuan even teased him that he was a cruel man who cut off his own sperm veins.

But now his wife is pregnant, so there is only one answer.

Faced with this most humiliating pain for a man, any words of comfort seemed powerless, so Lin Yuan could only sit next to Meng Tao and hug his shoulders tightly.

"She secretly went to the hospital for a checkup and I discovered it. If I hadn't discovered it, she would have kept it a secret from me."

"Yeah, we only see each other once every few months. Maybe she secretly gave birth to a child and I wouldn't even know!"

Lin Yuan felt a little guilty. Meng Tao had been busy filming with him these days, even busier than Lin Yuan.

Because the crew will take special care of Lin Yuan and give priority to filming his scenes.

After Lin Yuan finished his part of the play, he could go about doing other things.

As the chief action director, Meng Tao followed the crew from beginning to end.

His job is not just about the action scenes, he is also responsible for the work related to shooting safety.

Meng Tao is very dedicated and responsible in his work. He has always been Lin Yuan's most reliable assistant and indispensable partner.

After working together on several films, Lin Yuan and Meng Tao can be said to have become the best partners. The two have formed a very compatible way of collaboration:

Lin Yuan proposed the general idea and key points of the action scenes, and then Meng Tao was responsible for refining the plan and turning it into a specific and feasible shooting process.

It is similar to the boss in a company proposing a direction and ideas, and then the project leader implements them.

When filming those dangerous high-altitude scenes at the Burj Khalifa, if Meng Tao hadn't been there to follow up and supervise, Lin Yuan would have been even more uneasy.

When filming in Dubai before, Lin Yuan was worried that Meng Tao's family might get into trouble, and he advised him to spend more time with his wife. Unexpectedly, his words came true.

"What do you want to do? I'll help you. Sink that adulterer into the sea?" Lin Yuan said.

"I broke his legs, and Mr. Eisen has helped me clean up the mess."

"Do you mean to stop here and let him go?" Lin Yuan was a little confused.

"He is not the culprit, that's enough."

"You mean?"

"My wife is the first person responsible for the affair."

Lin Yuan understood what Meng Tao meant, he was right.

When their partners cheat, many people's first reaction is to vent their anger on the mistress, as if the mistress is the culprit.

But the person who is truly responsible has been ignored. If the spouse did not want to cheat, how would the mistress have the opportunity?

It doesn’t mean that the mistress is not wrong, but that the mistress is not the main aspect of the conflict.

In fact, if a person wants to cheat, he or she will not choose to cheat with this person, but with another person. The root cause still lies with the partner.

Lin Yuan was very surprised. At this time, most people would lose their minds and just want to vent and retaliate.

He didn't expect that Meng Tao could still maintain his full rationality, especially after drinking so much alcohol tonight. This is really beyond the ordinary people.

"She insisted on giving birth to the child," said Meng Tao.

"Let's get a divorce. I'll find you the best lawyer and make sure she doesn't get a penny." Lin Yuan said, "If you're still not satisfied, we can teach her a lesson slowly."

"No, I won't get divorced." Meng Tao shook his head.

"what?"
