Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

"No, right? We men are more prone to getting bored easily. Once I've ordered a girl, I usually won't order her again."

Lin Yuan suddenly felt the force on his back increase, and he felt a surge of anger.

"As expected, the conscience of you men is like that of a Black man who cannot go to war in place of his father."

"what?"

"Because there isn't any!"

Lin Yuan: "..."

It really was you, you perverted Yeon!

Girls' Generation's Super Variety Star.

So you're already this strong even before your debut?
"Big brother, can I ask you something?" Taeyeon's voice softened again.

"Go ahead and ask. It's up to you whether you ask or not, and it's up to me whether I answer or not."

"Brother, I've noticed you always spend a lot of money when you come here, which is quite wasteful. Is it because your girlfriend doesn't care about you much?"

Lin Yuan: "..."

Tell me quickly, did you share the skill set of Japanese girls with GAKKI-chan?

"No, it's just that I'm too kind-hearted. I can't bear to see young and pretty girls not earning money, so I always want to help them."

"Brother, you're such a kind person!"

"Brother, you were speaking Chinese just now, weren't you? It certainly wasn't anything nice."

You managed to catch that? Your comedic talent is amazing...

"You're practically slandering the Chinese language! Do you even understand Chinese?" Lin Yuan teased with a smile.

“I don’t understand Chinese, but I understand men. When you men are making dirty jokes to flirt with young girls, you like to say things that are hard to understand.”

Lin Yuan: "..."

Seeing that Lin Yuan couldn't respond, Kim Tae-yeon continued with a smile, "Actually, we can understand all the dirty talk you men say. It's just that if we don't like men who talk, we'll pretend we don't understand."

"Women are indeed natural-born experts at playing hard to get."

"But the man has to be willing to fall into the trap, otherwise how can the thin net woven by us women withstand any torment? You can tear my net with just a gentle tug."

Without realizing it, Kim Tae-yeon stopped calling Lin Yuan "big brother".

Their conversation gradually shifted from role-playing to a game of truth or dare.

Kim Tae-yeon seemed to be joking when she said that, but Lin Yuan knew what answer she wanted to hear:
How could I bear to tear your net apart?

"I……"

Lin Yuan was about to answer when Kim Tae-yeon interrupted him first:
"Watch your answer, or you'll get a hard punch!"

Clearly, she was afraid that Lin Yuan hadn't understood her subtext, so she haughtily reminded him again.

"Amazing!"

"Actually, we can understand all the dirty talk you men say. It's just that if we don't like men who talk, we'll pretend we don't understand." Her words just now resurfaced in Lin Yuan's mind.

Lin Yuan knows she understands, but will he pretend not to?

Behind him came Kim Tae-yeon's slightly trembling voice: "I've experienced it."

(Another 200 words were deleted. Please read on next time. Things are very strict lately; no beating around the bush is allowed, so I'll just write about making movies directly.)
The air visibly became ambiguous.

The events of the past few days, and a series of sweet memories, reappeared before their eyes:
Red lips, jade-like feet, a delicate and supple body...

Unbeknownst to them, the two not only had an ambiguous relationship, but also a commitment to stand together through thick and thin, even unto death.

"How do you like it?"

Lin Yuan's words were somewhat shameless, but they were an effective way to expose the relationship between the two.

"Like? What are you thinking? I know you're stubborn."

A dramatic exclamation came from behind.

Lin Yuan: (Benefit)
Saying that makes me sound really creepy!

You did it on purpose!

You actually managed to set me up and manipulate me!
It really was you... Pervert Yan, your ability to pretend to be deaf and dumb is top-notch.

Lin Yuan had no choice but to admit defeat. If he hadn't been receiving a massage from Taeyeon at that moment, with his back to her and unable to see her expression, he would never have fallen into this trap.

But the next moment, he felt a soft little hand reach in: "I... I like it."

Lin Yuan: "..."

This woman's pulling technique is amazing...

But he couldn't think too much about it anymore, because he was completely lost in the tenderness.

……

……

Let's get down to business.

Lin Yuan smiled and reached out to gently press on her arm.

A master's massage skills are evident the moment they are applied.

Wow, your technique is amazing!

Kim Tae-yeon immediately understood what professionalism meant, but her next words dealt Lin Yuan a blow:
"How many young girls did you train on to achieve this?"

Lin Yuan: "..."

Can't you speak properly?

With this barbed, roundabout, and unexpected way of speaking, is it even possible to have a proper conversation?

But it seems like she's not wrong?
When Lin Yuan mastered the master-level massage technique, he was indeed infused with decades of massage memories.

He was always grateful for the system's thoughtfulness. In those memories, the countless training subjects he massaged were all beautiful women, not some burly men picking their toes.

Otherwise, it would truly be a nightmare that can't be shaken off.

While massaging Kim Tae-yeon's shoulders, Lin Yuan said helplessly, "Let's get down to business. Do you want to listen or not?"

"Well, tell me."

Seeing Lin Yuan's serious expression, Kim Tae-yeon knew he really had something important to say, so she stopped joking.

"I'm holding a press conference tomorrow, why don't you come with me?" Lin Yuan said.

"mo?"

Surprised, Kim Tae-yeon spoke her native language.

Kim Tae-yeon knows better than anyone what tomorrow's press conference means.

More than 200 media outlets from around the world have arrived at the scene, and satellite broadcasting vehicles will provide signal coverage to every time zone.

On social media, the hashtag #LinYuanInjury# has been trending for 72 hours since the press conference announcement, with related topics garnering over 3 billion views.

This was the most watched personal press conference of the 21st century, unmatched by any other press conference.

The world is watching closely, everyone is eagerly waiting to know what happened to Lin Yuan after the explosion.

For any artist craving exposure, this is like a golden microphone handed to them by God himself.

Simply by standing on that stage under the spotlight, even without saying a word, an ordinary person can instantly gain top-tier popularity.

Moreover, she's a trainee about to debut—she could probably carry the entire group to new heights. But when Lin Yuan actually extended the invitation, Kim Tae-yeon's first reaction was to clutch the hem of her hospital gown tightly.

"Wouldn't that...steal the show?" She lowered her eyelashes, the medical tape still clinging to the wound on her forehead. "Tomorrow's protagonist should be you. What everyone wants to know most is your recovery progress, and whether you can continue making action movies in the future..."

Lin Yuan was somewhat moved. He reached out and patted Kim Tae-yeon's head with a smile: "You were also one of the main characters in the explosion a few days ago. Although the public is more concerned about my health, they are equally happy to see you, their heroine."

He pointed to the television on the wall of the ward, which was currently replaying CNN news footage taken that day on a loop:
"Lin Yuan, you can't wear it, please don't wear it!"

"Boom!"

The next moment, Kim Tae-yeon was hit hard in the face with an elbow strike.

The blood spurting from her nostrils and mouth, the bloodstained molar, and her small, convulsing figure.

No matter how many times Lin Yuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"Let the others go... I'll stay. Lin Yuan will come..."

Brooke Whitmore was taken aback, but quickly stomped down hard.

Kim Tae-yeon's delicate face was swollen and deformed, with blood and foam mixed in at the corners of her mouth. Half of her face was swollen and purple, and her left eye could barely be opened.

Kim Tae-yeon's face was slammed hard onto the ground. Her swollen and deformed mouth was covered in blood and foam. Blood was still seeping from the hole where her molar had been knocked out. Half of her face was swollen and purple, and her left eye was almost unable to open.

These scenes introduced countless viewers around the world to this brave and fearless little girl.

Upon seeing those images again, Kim Tae-yeon couldn't help but start trembling.

Clearly, that nightmarish experience had rekindled the fear within her.

When has a girl born into a middle-class family and raised in a peaceful environment ever experienced something like this?

The fact that Kim Tae-yeon didn't suffer any psychological trauma shows that she has a very strong ability to adjust mentally.

Lin Yuan immediately turned off the TV with the remote control. Only after Taeyeon calmed down did he ask, "Are you feeling better?"

Kim Tae-yeon nodded: "Actually, I'm not that scared."

"really?"

"Yes, although that day had nightmares that terrified me, it also had memories that can heal me for a lifetime. I will not run away from those memories in my heart, but will only turn these experiences into nourishment to help me grow faster," Kim Tae-yeon answered earnestly.

"You are such a brave girl."

In her previous life, she was also a girl who had experienced countless storms; she was always a very strong person.

“Then it’s settled. You’ll attend the press conference with me tomorrow. This is an honor that rightfully belongs to you,” Lin Yuan said.

Kim Tae-yeon nodded in agreement.

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the matter was settled.

Actually, he had always found it a bit tricky to figure out how to make it up to Kim Tae-yeon.

Having gone through such a turmoil, he could receive the spoils he had gained from the British as compensation.

But who will compensate Kim Tae-yeon?

Lin Yuan believes that the traffic generated by the press conference is just the first step; he wants to give Kim Tae-yeon even more.

So he took out a prepared agreement and handed it to Kim Tae-yeon.

"what is this?"

"Cooperation Agreement".

"Cooperation? Me and you?"

"To be precise, it's you who represent our teenage years, and my movies."

"You should talk to Mr. Hideman about this..."

"As long as you agree, this is settled."

Lin Yuan has decided to use his own strength to give Girls' Generation another push.

He decided to make Girls' Generation's debut song, the legendary "Into the New World," the theme song for his new film.

A later film, "Hello Mr. Billionaire," greatly enhanced the popularity of Rocket Girls.

With his influence, Girls' Generation's future will likely be more than just a Korean legend; it could become an Asian legend, and possibly even a global phenomenon.

Kim Tae-yeon flipped through a few pages of the agreement, her eyes filled with joy, yet also with a hint of hesitation.

"What's wrong? Is it beneath you to use your debut song as the theme song for my movie?" Lin Yuan asked.

"No, no, no! Of course not!" Kim Tae-yeon immediately waved her hands and explained, "What I'm worried about is..."

"Are you worried that 'Into the New World' won't fit with my new movie and will seem out of place?" Lin Yuan picked up the conversation and continued.

Kim Tae-yeon fell silent, which was exactly what she was most worried about.

Lin Yuan's new movie is "Mad Max: Fury Road", which is the fourth film in the "Mad Max" series.

Having seen the first three films, Kim Tae-yeon naturally knew that this was an action movie set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

How could such an intensely heavy metal post-apocalyptic movie possibly match her debut song?
But since Lin Yuan had thought of this, there must be a solution, so she waited quietly for Lin Yuan to continue.

Lin Yuan explained, "It seems you already know about the Mad Max movie series, so I won't explain further."

Ignoring musical style and focusing solely on the theme, do you think the two go well together?

Kim Tae-yeon thought for a moment before answering, "It does match quite well. The themes of hope, staying true to one's original aspirations, and reunion in 'Into the New World' are highly compatible with 'Mad Max.' But the problem is that the musical style is something that absolutely cannot be ignored."

"You're stuck in a mental block. In your mind, 'Into the New World' is already very concrete, so you always feel it doesn't match. But what if I just keep the melody and theme, break up the arrangement and soundtrack, and re-record a heavy metal rock version?"
Ultimately, the song was released in two versions: a heavy metal rock version, used as the movie's theme song.

"Keep your original K-pop version unchanged and use it as your debut song," Lin Yuan said.

After hearing Lin Yuan's explanation, Kim Tae-yeon suddenly felt that it was much more feasible.

In terms of the melodic structure, the original song's signature ascending melody line can be retained, symbolizing "the rise of hope".

However, in terms of rhythm, it must shift from the upbeat electronic beats of K-pop to the heavy, looping beats of industrial rock.

At the same time, distorted guitar, mechanical noise, and glitches are used to replace the sweet synthesizer sounds.

In terms of vocal processing, the lead singer's voice had to be changed from a clear, girlish voice to a hoarse, screaming voice combined with a chorus-style chanting to enhance the sense of tragedy.

Regarding how to adapt the story, this is all the ideas Kim Tae-yeon can think of at the moment.

But the most difficult part is that the adaptation must be very clever, otherwise it will only result in a poor imitation.

"Are you worried about not being able to find a suitable music producer to handle the arrangements?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Mm." Kim Tae-yeon nodded.

"Isn't Europe and America the center of pop music?"

"Yes!"

"In recent years, which music producer in Europe and America has been the most popular?"

"Yes... Miss Swift!"

"Yeah, why not just let her bring her awesome team to handle the adaptation?"

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? I'm not even that familiar with her, and you're asking a superstar like her to help me..."

Taylor Swift is very happy that you saved her, but she is troubled by not being able to repay you.

Only after Lin Yuan reminded her did Kim Tae-yeon remember about this.

The thought of Taylor Swift, a musical prodigy, leading the song's adaptation suddenly made Kim Tae-yeon feel confident.

"Believe me, the combination of your song and my movie will become a rare classic in film history," Lin Yuan said confidently. (End of Chapter)
