Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 566 The third legendary talent, head-on challenge to S-level action scenes
[Agility: 29 → 30]

[Assignable attributes: 15 → 0]

As the allocable attributes returned to zero, Lin Yuan's agility attribute finally reached 30 points.

The system's golden text immediately appeared before his eyes:

[The host's agility attribute exceeds 30 points, and he obtains the legendary talent "Superb Intuition"! ]

Extraordinary intuition?

This is Lin Yuan’s third legendary talent. From the super powerful functions of the first two talents, he naturally knows that this extraordinary intuition must have extremely powerful effects.

Lin Yuan stood up from his chair thoughtfully.

Under the surprised gazes of Charlize Theron, Director Cohen and Meng Tao, he picked up a box of toothpicks on the hotel desk.

Opening the lid, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "It really is a country with a lot of timber resources. The hotel has so many free toothpicks."

There are about seventy or eighty toothpicks in this box, densely packed in the box.

The next moment, Lin Yuan shook upwards violently.

All the wooden toothpicks in the toothpick box were thrown into the air.

In mid-air, some of these toothpicks were horizontal, some were vertical, some were slanted, and some collided with each other, appearing extremely chaotic.

"Lin Yuan, what are you doing?" Meng Tao shouted.

But Meng Tao quickly shut up. As the toothpicks fell, Lin Yuan stretched out his right hand like lightning and grabbed a handful of toothpicks.

His hands stretched out and danced in the air, blurring together and making it impossible to see his movements.

"Huhuhu~"

The only sound in the room was the wind blowing as Lin Yuan waved his arms.

His movement lasted only a second before he stopped.

Not a single toothpick fell to the ground; all of them were caught in Lin Yuan's two hands.

Seeing this scene, the three people in the room were stunned.

"Lin Yuan, are you performing magic?" Director Cohen asked in surprise.

"I would rather he was performing magic. Unfortunately, he was just showing off his skills, an inhuman skill." Meng Tao sighed.

"I know it's hard to hold the toothpick like this, but is it that much different from acrobatic performances?" asked director Cohen.

"It's like the difference between throwing a stone and launching a ballistic missile," Meng Tao said. "Catching so many targets without missing a single one before they hit the ground is incredible. Even more incomprehensible is that these are toothpicks at various angles in mid-air."

Director Cohen then recalled that of the many toothpicks that Lin Yuan had thrown into the air, some fell vertically, some fell horizontally, or some fell diagonally.

If you grab it, the horizontal toothpick will probably pierce your palm in an instant.

This means that Lin Yuan did the following things in an instant:

First, quickly determine which toothpicks need to be picked first and which ones need to be picked later. In the chaos, find the best order.

Second, when reaching out to grab the toothpick, in a split second, the palm made a complex trajectory, using one posture to grab the vertically falling toothpick, and then changing to another posture to grab the horizontal and diagonal toothpicks.

Third, the two hands perform the two complex actions mentioned above together without interfering with each other.

Meng Tao thought that he was already amazing because he could seize the opportunity to grab a handful of toothpicks when so many of them fell without hurting his hands.

But Lin Yuan completed countless grabbing operations in an instant without letting a single toothpick fall to the ground.

This really made Meng Tao not know how to evaluate the skill Lin Yuan just showed.

Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Lin Yuan calmly put the toothpick back into the toothpick box. It was shameful to waste wood resources.

He began, “I’m not performing magic, nor am I showing off. I’m just telling you two things.

The first thing is that I can accurately capture the most correct course of action in a rapidly changing and complex environment.

The second thing is that I have the ability to execute this action plan perfectly.

Therefore, when I am swept up into the sky by the fire tornado, don't worry too much.

There is no such thing as a certain death in this world. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will find it and hold on to it firmly."

It was not until this moment that Charlize Theron realized why Lin Yuan suddenly performed such a show in front of them.

It was just as Lin Yuan said, if anyone else was caught in the fire tornado and didn't have a parachute, they would surely die.

But if the person who encountered this crisis was Lin Yuan, it would be very likely to be completed.

Meng Tao nodded: "In the past few years of following you in filming, no matter how incredible the challenge was, you always completed it in the end. Although I don't know how you can do it, I still believe in you."

After that, Meng Tao said again: "Thank you, Lin Yuan."

Director Cohen also said seriously: "I am also very grateful to you, Lin Yuan."

"Thank me? Why should you thank me? I'm fighting for myself." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"If I hadn't met you, who would know me, Meng Tao? I'm just an ordinary martial artist from the Chen Clan. But now, many people say I'm the world's number one action director. I know it's all because of you." Meng Tao said sincerely:

"You're going to fight hard again tomorrow. Although you say you're doing it for yourself, it's an indisputable fact that I've benefited greatly from it. I believe tomorrow's scene will be an unprecedented and explosive moment in film history. As a member of the creative staff, I will also be able to leave my name in history. How can I not thank you?"

Director Cohen also said, "Yes. Lin Yuan, if it weren't for you, my greatest achievement in this life would probably be the first Fast & Furious movie. Someone else took away the dominance of the film series, and then I quietly sank into decline."

But what about now? If it weren’t for the sudden success of “The Legend of Tang Dynasty”, I would have been the director of the highest-grossing film in world cinema history.

I believe that the box office of "The King of Spy 2" will surpass "The Legend of Tang Dynasty" and become a new box office peak!

Being able to direct a film like this is what countless directors dream of! These are all honors you have given me!"

Lin Yuan shook his head: "Director, I will always remember the night when you sacrificed your own face and wanted to fight for a chance for me to go to The Mummy Returns.

I will also always remember that you helped me get the starring role in "Jurassic Park 3".

I can't forget that you took out all your savings to help me finance the filming of the movie.

We never need to say thank you to each other, we are true friends."

During the conversation, the three of them suddenly returned to the winter of 2000, which was the starting point of Lin Yuan's career.

Now Lin Yuan is on the rise and has finally come to the most dangerous play in his career.

Having conquered death countless times in the past, Lin Yuan believed that this time would be no problem as well.

Lin Yuan's eyes were full of confidence. The test of catching the toothpick just now made him understand the role of the legendary talent [Super Intuition].

This is an ability that is born when the speed of nerve reaction and response has developed to the extreme, an ability that no other creature on earth possesses.

That is, he can immediately know the optimal solution in any complex and chaotic situation.

For example, if a 155mm howitzer shell falls from the sky, as long as the landing point is not too close to him, Lin Yuan can accurately find the safest position.

Unless he is in a state of certain death, he will have a chance of survival.

If the distance was a little further, he might even be able to find a place where he could remain unharmed.

When he faces a crisis, it is as if there is a super-powerful computer in his brain that can perform all possible calculations in an instant and come to the best conclusion.

To outsiders, they might think that Lin Yuan is very lucky and has hit the jackpot.

But the fact is that Lin Yuan found a glimmer of hope through his [Super Intuition]. No matter how many times he repeated it, he could successfully escape this disaster.

Of course, relying solely on the talent of [Super Intuition] is not enough, because [Super Intuition] can only allow Lin Yuan to know what to do.

Between knowing how to do something and the final result, there is a step that must be executed perfectly.

This happens to be the application area of ​​Lin Yuan’s second legendary talent [Unity of Body and Mind].

After the Second Kendo Tournament in the World, Lin Yuan integrated four master-level skills, including master-level parkour and master-level gymnastics, and obtained the legendary talent of [Unity of Body and Mind].

It makes him feel like his body is controlled by super AI whenever he performs any action.

As long as he is sure that he wants to do something, his body will automatically use his physical fitness and master-level skills to achieve perfect execution.

The talent of [Super Intuition] allows Lin Yuan to perfectly know what to do.

The talent of [Unity of Body and Mind] allows Lin Yuan to perfectly carry out his planned tasks.

These two talents combined are a match made in heaven.

Now, Lin Yuan finally has the confidence to challenge this S-level mission.

He silently said in his mind, "System, evaluate the success rate of this action scene again."

This time, the golden text did not appear immediately.

After about half a second, the system's golden text appeared on his retina:
[This action scene is S level difficulty! Extremely dangerous! !]

[The host's completion success rate is only 68%. Please carefully consider whether to challenge this action scene! ]

68%...

It instantly rose from the previous 11% to 68%. The effect was immediate and even exceeded Lin Yuan's expectations.

In Lin Yuan’s original plan, as long as the success rate was over 50%, he would be willing to take the risk.

It's already 68% now, what is he hesitating about?

"Tomorrow, let's create a miracle together." Lin Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Good luck! I'm going to become a legendary action director!" Meng Tao put his hand on Lin Yuan's hand.

"Hahaha! I wish to become the first director to make a movie with a box office of 50 billion US dollars!" Director Cohen said arrogantly.

Charlize Theron felt incredible when she heard what director Cohen said!
Over the years, the highest-grossing film in the film industry is "The Legend of Tang Dynasty" with $40.78 billion.

The second most profitable film is "The King's Avatar" with $24 billion.

Apart from Lin Yuan's movie, the highest-grossing movie in Hollywood, "The Lord of the Rings 3", only grossed $11.5 billion, which is totally not enough.

With the box office of 40.78 billion US dollars for "The Legend of Tang Dynasty", Lin Yuan has already stood out from the crowd and made countless peers despair.

But now, director Coen actually hopes that "King of Spy" can reach a box office of 2 billion US dollars in one step?

If this wasn't the box office outlook for Lin Yuan's films, he would definitely be criticized to pieces.

The Hollywood film industry has conducted market research and found that if a movie ticket costs $10 under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for a movie to reach a box office of $10 billion.

Lin Yuan's films achieved such incredible box office success, thanks to $20 ticket prices for "The Spy King" and the explosive growth in attendance for "The Legend of Tang Dynasty" thanks to the global market boom. It's almost impossible for "The Spy King 2" to reach the same level.

Although this is true, Charlize Theron now feels that a box office of 50 billion US dollars seems justified.

She participated in the filming of "Lord of Spy 2" and is well aware of the danger and excitement of tomorrow's scene.

Just based on tomorrow's show, it is worth it for everyone in the world who can afford it to go to the cinema.

I'm afraid Lin Yuan is about to create a super record in the number of moviegoers in the world.

Then, Charlize Theron reached out and placed her hand on Director Cohen's: "I'm so lucky! I'm going to be the leading lady in the highest-grossing movie of all time."

"Hahaha, congratulations to you! A $50 billion director, a $50 billion action director, and a $50 billion queen!" Lin Yuan also shouted happily.

"come on!"

"come on!"

……

……

At 8 a.m. the next day, a forest fire broke out 30 kilometers north of Edmonton.

"Director, the ten drones have been launched and are each hovering in the designated airspace." A reply came from the crew through the headset.

It is not the year 2024 yet. There is no company like DJI, and there are no large-scale commercial quadcopter or hexacopter drones.

Therefore, the drones released today are all large drones borrowed from the military.

It has a longer hovering time and a higher payload, and can better perform tasks such as multi-camera high-altitude shooting. The only drawback is that it is relatively expensive.

But in order to shoot this scene well, director Cohen also spent a lot of money.

After hearing the message from the staff, Director Cohen waved his hand and said, "The drone is ready, and the actors are ready to enter. All filming teams, please take your positions."

Today we mainly filmed two scenes. One was the scene where Lin Yuan was caught in the flaming dragon wind after defeating the villain BOSS, which was filmed first.

The second part is relatively simple. It is the scene where the heroine played by Charlize Theron runs to escape from the fire. This was filmed later.

At this time, Lin Yuan, wearing a fire-resistant suit, was doing the final inspection.

Charlize Theron and Meng Tao stood behind him, helping him check the sealing at the rear.

"There's no problem in the rear. Lin Yuan, you're sweating a lot." Charlize Theron said.

The temperature at this time was more than 30 degrees below zero, but the temperature around the fire was abnormally high. In addition, Lin Yuan was wearing a fireproof suit weighing 34.9 kilograms. How could he not sweat?
Lin Yuan’s fire-resistant clothing is very effective, but thermal insulation and heat preservation and heating actually mean the same thing in many cases.

Lin Yuan’s hair looked like he had just washed it, with sweat dripping down.

Charlize Theron took out the prepared towel from her pocket with concern and carefully wiped the sweat off his face.

"Sorry, I can't wipe the sweat off my body," said Charlize Theron.

She was wearing protective clothing tightly, except that her mask was not fastened yet, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to wipe the sweat off her face.

"It's okay. This little bit of sweat won't affect activities except for being a little uncomfortable. Please give me some more water." Lin Yuan said.

Charlize Theron picked up the water bottle with a straw and fed it to Lin Yuan: "Drink a few more sips to avoid dehydration in the high temperature."

Lin Yuan took two sharp gulps and said, "I can't drink any more, otherwise I won't be able to run any longer. In the fire scene, I have to race against time to ensure that I can complete the filming as quickly as possible."

Meng Tao, who had completed a safety check behind Lin Yuan, also said, "Lin Yuan, you must remember this. The air in the interlayer of your fireproof suit and mask can only sustain you in the fire for five minutes. After landing, the escape route is due south. Remember!"

At this time, a drone flew over the fire scene and sprayed a large amount of black powdery substance from under the cabin.

When the black powder fell into the fire, it was like pouring a spoonful of water into a hot oil pan, and the wildfire immediately boiled violently!
The wall of fire a few hundred meters away had visibly grown more than ten meters higher.

Lin Yuan felt a large amount of cold wind blowing from behind him, passing over his body and heading straight to the center of the fire.

Sparks and ashes flying in the air began to spiral.

Lin Yuan knew that the shooting horn was about to be blown, and the combustion accelerant spread by the drone would cause the center of the fire to burn more vigorously.

The fire tornado will soon take shape!

Sure enough, Director Cohen's voice came through the headset: "The drone has spread the accelerant, and the fire tornado is about to form. All units, please take your positions."

"I understand! Then I'm ready to go!" Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"Be safe, I'll wait for you to come back!" Charlize Theron shouted with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Come on, I'll wait for you to create another miracle!" Meng Tao patted Lin Yuan's shoulder.

Lin Yuan didn't look back, but ran towards the fire scene at an accelerated speed.

He looked up and saw a huge tornado of fire had formed.

All I saw was a blur of black smoke in the orange-red sky. The morning, which should have been bright, gave people a strong and oppressive feeling of doomsday.

A blazing firestorm rose from the ground and soared into the sky.

While running, Lin Yuan looked directly at the mighty power of nature in front of him and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

This fire tornado is divided into three sections:

Seven or eight hundred meters below, there was a vortex of rapidly rotating flames. The orange-red flames shot straight into the sky like a roaring fire dragon.

Seven or eight hundred meters above, it is composed of scorching hot gases, forming a thick storm wall.

Unlike ordinary tornadoes, the hot air above the fire tornado strongly distorts the surrounding light refraction, giving people a magical feeling that the space is twisting and jumping.

As the air flow continues to rise, the temperature gradually drops. The uppermost part of the fire tornado, which is also the longest part, shows a distinct sense of water vapor cloud, and this cloud layer is reflected in a bright red, with a beauty like the sunset glow.

It was truly amazing. Seeing such a beautiful yet deadly scene shocked even the knowledgeable Lin Yuan.

Meng Tao's voice came from Lin Yuan's earphones: "600 meters away from the fire, the wind speed in the fire tornado is 160 meters per second!"

This is the wind speed measured at the periphery by the drone that just flew overhead.

Upon hearing this result, Lin Yuan shouted, "Wow! That's awesome! That's awesome!"

The wind speed of 160 meters per second was enough to blow him hundreds of meters into the air.

Under normal circumstances, the wind speed of a level 13 typhoon is only 41 meters per second.

The wind speed of a super typhoon of level 16 is only 51 meters per second.

This fire tornado reached a speed of 160 meters per second, which is considered fast among tornadoes. It’s quite powerful!

Already approaching the fire scene, Lin Yuan quickened his pace and his speed increased significantly.

Lin Yuan, wearing a 34.9 kg fireproof suit, should have walked unsteadily and clumsily, but he seemed to be free of weight and ran forward as fast as a cheetah.

Seeing this scene, Meng Tao couldn't help but sigh: "If this fireproof suit wasn't custom-made by me, I wouldn't believe it weighs nearly 70 kilograms!"

Charlize Theron also exclaimed: "He's wearing such a heavy fireproof suit, but he can run faster than a sprinter! It's incredible!"

They didn't know that when Lin Yuan was assassinated again, he ran 58 meters in 100 seconds while holding Betty, who weighed 12.3 kilograms.

He is stronger now than he was then, and the evenly weighted fireproof suit is much more convenient than running with Betty in his arms.

Therefore, this is not a burden at all for Lin Yuan.

His pace kept getting faster and faster, definitely exceeding the 100-meter time of 10 seconds.

This scene shocked all the staff on the set.

They are all old employees of Lin Yuan Pictures. They have followed Lin Yuan in filming around the world for so many years and have witnessed Lin Yuan creating miracles again and again.

But Lin Yuan's performance today once again refreshed their cognition.

"All departments, get ready!"

"All departments, get ready!"

"All departments, get ready!"

Director Cohen shouted three times in the communication channel before the groups recovered from their shock and responded to the director's call.

"Get ready to shoot!" the old director shouted.

At this time, Lin Yuan, who was already 400 meters away from the fire, felt the heat coming towards him.

It's like someone is holding a hair dryer and blowing the hot air at the highest setting in your face.

Lin Yuan put his hand on top of the mask and pulled it down hard.

"Crack!"

The mask is on!
This means that from this moment on, he can no longer receive external oxygen support.

We must speed up, faster!
Every second counts!

The saying "time is life" is perfectly interpreted here and now.

Lin Yuan sped up again and continued running towards the center of the fire.

He no longer spared his physical strength and ran as fast as he could towards the endless wall of fire that was over 30 meters high not far away.

At this moment, Lin Yuan was like a knight in Don Quixote's novel, fearlessly charging towards the fire giant.

In his ears, he heard the director shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Countdown to shooting!"

"5!"

"4!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Action!"

With the director's order, filming began.

The moment the filming began, blazing flames rose from Lin Yuan’s orange-red fireproof suit!

At this moment, he was engulfed in flames and moved forward courageously!
