Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Lin Yuan shook his sore arms and followed the staff out of the crowded hall.

Behind him, cheers erupted from countless fans:

"Origin God, please take your time, we love you!"

See you at the star-awarding ceremony later!

"Source God, you've worked hard today!"

Is it hard?
That's true to some extent.

The original plan was to select 700 fans to attend the autograph session, but in the end, the number had to be increased to 1400.

The enthusiasm of the crowd was so high that many fans who were not selected burst into tears on the spot when the lottery results came out.

"I've liked Lin Yuan for five years, but I've never had a chance to get close to him... Waaah..."

One fan's sobs resonated with many others, and many fans joined in the tears.

Then, as if a virus were spreading, large numbers of fans throughout the venue burst into tears.

People who have never been fans of celebrities may not understand this feeling and may think that people who are fans of celebrities are brainless.

You don't even love your own parents that much, so why do you need to like a stranger so much?
But Lin Yuan can understand this feeling; the feelings of idolizing celebrities are different from the feelings of parental love.

Rather than saying that many people are brainlessly fond of celebrities, it's more accurate to say that they cherish their own youth.

For example, Jay Chou, a singer in China. When you were a little boy, during the most carefree days of your life, you grew up listening to his songs.

In the days that followed, you experienced the pressure of entering higher education, the joy of first love, the heartbreak of a breakup, and the frustration of work...

Through sunny days and stormy nights, his songs have accompanied you through many springs, summers, autumns, and winters.

Thus, he became the "anchor" of your youth.

Whenever you listen to these songs again, you'll be reminded of those days, of that youth that can never be relived.

Lin Yuan's films are another example. Over the past few years, his films and fearless courage have inspired countless people, helping them overcome disappointment and underestimation.

People always take Lin Yuan as a role model to encourage themselves:

"You're complaining about this little bit of hardship? Think about Lin Yuan, a super-rich man, he works himself to the bone on set. You're nothing compared to him."

"You may not reach the heights of Lin Yuan, but if you want to live a life without regrets, you should always give it your all, just like Lin Yuan."

"Keep pushing yourself to the limit, as long as you don't die!"

Lin Yuan understands the fans' feelings, and he is genuinely moved.

As an actor, one of his greatest achievements is gaining the genuine love and respect of so many people.

He couldn't bear to disappoint his fans' enthusiasm.

Lin Yuan immediately made a decision: to double the number of people at the autograph session!
"Gakki, please organize another lottery for me and add another 700 lucky fans," Lin Yuan said.

This decision stunned GAKKI: "Can your body handle it? Besides, we don't have that much time; the star-granting ceremony is waiting for us to get there."

Lin Yuan shook his head: "It's okay, I'll speed things up a bit, it won't take up too much time."

The assistant hesitated for only half a second before immediately carrying out Lin Yuan's instructions.

Even if another 700 fans were added, out of the more than 12000 fans present, only a lucky few would still get this opportunity.

But for the fans, this already far exceeded their expectations.

When this news was announced, many fans even shouted:

"Forget it, let's not draw lots anymore. Don't make Lin Yuan too tired."

“We just came to pick up Lin Yuan from the airport to visit him. We didn’t mean to add such a burden to him.”

"Lin Yuan treated us to coffee, which was already very touching. He really doesn't need to push himself so hard."

At first, only a minority of fans shouted that they didn't want another lottery, but when other fans noticed these comments, they immediately realized that increasing the number of lucky viewers was also a heavy burden for Lin Yuan.

The tide immediately turned, and the fans in the hall shouted in unison:

"Source God, please relax. We are already very satisfied."

Seeing this scene made GAKKI-chan's eyes well up with tears.

Although she no longer acts, she is still an entertainer.

Isn't this kind of two-way, most sincere and pure emotion between artists and fans the lifelong pursuit of these artists?
Lin Yuan has so many fans who genuinely love him; it truly makes his acting career worthwhile.

Faced with the fans' enthusiasm, Lin Yuan picked up the microphone and said, "You're worried I'll get tired? I doubt if you're even my fans!"

"what?"

"What do you mean?"

"Source God, you cannot question our affection for you."

The fans protested in unison.

Lin Yuan continued, "They are my fans. After watching so many movies, don't they know that my physique is different from ordinary people?"
This might be exhausting for others. But are you worried that I'll be exhausted?
You still dare to call yourselves die-hard fans?

Lin Yuan's answer immediately sparked a burst of laughter from the audience.

"Hahahaha~"

Then everyone remembered that the man in front of them was a "superman" who had challenged the limits of human physiology countless times, constantly expanding the boundaries of humanity with impossible challenges.

"The Source God is so arrogant! Everyone, charge! Let's see if we can wear him down."

"I hope he'll still be this stubborn when his arms get so sore he can't lift them anymore!"

"It seems that adding 700 slots is not enough. Should we consider adding 7000?"

Fans are such a lovely group, always oscillating between heartwarming and heartbreaking.

The saying "too much of a fan will turn into a darker shade" perfectly describes this situation.

(Don't make wild interpretations or extrapolations)

Next up was the autograph session, which doubled the number of attendees, but the original schedule couldn't be changed.

Therefore, Lin Yuan had no choice but to speed up as much as possible.

Dealing with 1400 fans at once was a bit much even for someone with his superhuman physique.

Regardless, Lin Yuan smiled and completed each autograph, ultimately finishing the autograph session within the scheduled time.

Following GAKKI out of the airport terminal, Lin Yuan realized they were heading in the wrong direction: "Aren't we going to the parking lot?"

He was very familiar with Los Angeles International Airport; this was clearly not the road to the VIP parking lot.

“Okay, let’s go to private helipad number 3,” GAKKI replied.

"The helipad?" Lin Yuan seemed to have guessed the answer.

"Yeah, Hollywood Boulevard is too crowded. There are over 50 fans here today. Cars can't drive in, so we'll take a helicopter," GAKKI said.

"Helicopters..."

To be honest, Lin Yuan really disliked this mode of transportation. In North America, many wealthy people like to travel by helicopter, but Lin Yuan has always tried his best to avoid it.

Because helicopters are so unsafe, several accidents involving celebrities crashing occur around the world every year.

Lin Yuan still prefers the sense of security of being grounded. For him, as long as he can stand on the ground, he has a fairly high chance of survival no matter what kind of crisis he encounters.

But once you fly into the sky in a helicopter, your sense of security drops sharply.

He didn't know if he would survive if the helicopter crashed.

If there are more trees, buildings, or other buffers on the ground, the chances of survival are higher; conversely, if it's a large flat area, you're likely to die.

Lin Yuan reluctantly followed GAKKI to the helipad, where a brand-new medium-to-large helicopter was ready.

Seeing that it wasn't one of those small helicopters, Lin Yuan felt somewhat relieved.

It is well known that the smaller the aircraft, the lower its stability.

This helicopter looks quite large; it can probably seat at least 10 people, so it should be relatively stable when flying.

"This helicopter?" Lin Yuan asked.

"The company has recently acquired a luxury business helicopter, the Sikorsky S-76B, which can carry 8-12 passengers and has a range of approximately 760 kilometers," GAKKI-chan introduced.

This performance surprised Lin Yuan as well.

It can carry 12 passengers and fly more than 700 kilometers, which is really a bit exaggerated.

"The price must be exorbitant, right?" Lin Yuan asked.

"It didn't cost you any money; it was a gift from Betty. If you were to buy it, it would be around $1300 million." Seemingly worried that Lin Yuan might think it was too expensive, GAKKI added:
"You'll know it's worth the price when you ride in it; this model is known as the 'Rolls-Royce of the Air'."

Lin Yuan: (▔Pan▔)
Hearing this model number triggered some unpleasant memories.

If it weren't for the title "Rolls-Royce of the Skies," Lin Yuan might not have recognized the aircraft.

But now he immediately remembered that in 2020, NBA star Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash involving this very model.

Does that seem a bit ominous?

"Let's go, we'll be late if we don't hurry," GAKKI urged.

Indeed, despite Lin Yuan's genuine dislike for helicopters, he still stepped into the cabin.

After the cabin door was closed, GAKKI continued, "There's an unexpected situation that I need to report to you."

She then recounted how she received the threatening letter and how Betty handled it.

Lin Yuan nodded: "Just trust Betty, she handles this better than I do. By the way, if there are any suspects later, you can let me confirm them."

GAKKI was stunned for a moment. She knew that Lin Yuan was particularly good at judging people, but this worked?
"Just by looking at photos and blurry videos, you can determine if there was any intention to attack? That's incredible!" GAKKI asked.

Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head: "It's not that exaggerated. At most, I can tell whether he is pretending to be calm but is actually nervous. We need to confirm more."

At this point, the S-76B helicopter had completed its climb and entered level flight.

Lin Yuan looked out the window and was surprised to find that the flight altitude was not very high.

The height was estimated to be less than 100 meters, which greatly increased Lin Yuan's sense of security. Even if an accident occurred at this height, his room for maneuver would be greatly increased.

"Do helicopters always fly this low?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Yes, the normal flight altitude in urban areas is generally below 150 meters. Only when cruising between cities will the altitude rise to between 300 and 450 meters," GAKKI-chan said.

"That's fine, anyway, I don't take helicopters when crossing cities," Lin Yuan replied with satisfaction.

"You don't like helicopters?" GAKKI asked.

Lin Yuan didn't answer, but instead asked, "What do you think would happen if a Stinger anti-aircraft missile were fired at this moment?"

"Impossible, right?" GAKKI asked in surprise.

After saying that, she began to lean down and look around to examine the area.

After looking back and forth several times to make sure she didn't see a long trail of flames and white eyes coming towards her, GAKKI-chan finally sat up straight again: "You scared me!"

"This situation is unlikely to happen today, but it might happen in the future," Lin Yuan said earnestly.

Many people believe that the power struggle at the top must be a graceful process of strategizing and killing without bloodshed.

But reality often surprises us; the most sophisticated business battles are often decided by the simplest means of physical elimination.

Such things were not uncommon in Lin Yuan's previous life.

In his past life, a certain world's richest man surnamed Ma would repeatedly emphasize on social media during the most intense periods of power struggles:
"I absolutely have no suicidal thoughts!"

He experienced it firsthand in this life as well; the last time he was hit by a Javelin anti-tank missile in Los Angeles.

Is it strange that we were hit by a Stinger anti-aircraft missile today?

As long as the benefits of eliminating him are great enough, there will always be those willing to defy public opinion and take the risk.

Being on the plane was when Lin Yuan's ability to resist was at its weakest.

Therefore, Lin Yuan and Betty reached a tacit agreement that they would not travel on the same private jet at the same time.

As the two most destructive and intimidating weapons in their group, potential adventurers must weigh whether they can withstand the other's desperate retaliation, provided they are not given the opportunity to be taken down simultaneously.

An S-76B helicopter steals the skies over Los Angeles at an altitude of 100 meters.

As they drew closer to their destination, Lin Yuan felt as if the roar of the rotors was being swallowed up by the sound waves of the crowd below.

Isn’t this too lively?
Looking down from the porthole, Lin Yuan saw that the entire Hollywood Boulevard resembled a boiling galaxy, and the cheers and laughter of more than 500,000 fans made him feel the overwhelming enthusiasm.

Several main roads have completely lost their asphalt, and a dense crowd stretches from the star-shaped medallion on the Avenue of Stars to the newly built "South Section" three blocks away.

"Mr. Lin, we will be landing in five minutes," the pilot's voice came through the headset.

Is it about to land?
Although he knew that it was highly unlikely that he would actually encounter a Stinger missile today.

But when he actually arrived safely, he was still somewhat surprised.

Could an accident occur just before landing?

But clearly, such concerns are unnecessary.

This is downtown Los Angeles, one of the most important cities in the United States, and there are hundreds of thousands of fans below.

How could anyone do such a thing in front of the whole world?
Finally, the S-76B helicopter that Lin Yuan was riding landed smoothly on the helipad on the top of the building.

"Bang!"

Lin Yuan immediately opened the cabin door and jumped out of the helicopter.

Four blonde beauties were already waiting to the side, their eyes filled with smiles.

Lin Yuan opened his arms and went forward to hug them one by one.

Betty was last in line.

"Today, it's all up to you," Betty whispered in his ear. (End of Chapter)
