Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

The second supply convoy consisted of twenty vehicles of various types, but no camels.

Weary from our journey, we arrived at the film crew's camp.

Lin Yuan, wrapped in bandages, pretended to limp forward.

Depp and Amber Heard jumped off a military truck and walked over hand in hand.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan immediately smiled knowingly: after the accident a few days ago, their relationship is really good now.

Lin Yuan didn't know if this passion would be worn down in their future married life, but having gone through life and death together, even if they parted ways in the future, it wouldn't be so ugly.

Depp and Amber Heard came forward, and Lin Yuan smiled and opened his arms.

Depp hesitated for a moment: "Won't a hug worsen your injury?"

"You've filmed so many movies with me, do you think I'm that fragile?" Lin Yuan said irritably.

Hearing this, Depp hugged Lin Yuan with relief: "I didn't have a chance to thank you properly the other day, I didn't expect that I almost didn't have the chance."

Lin Yuan released Depp and saw that his eyes were red, knowing that he was genuinely worried about his safety.

Even though several days had passed, Depp was still uneasy until he saw Lin Yuan's condition with his own eyes, and only then did he feel at ease.

"What are you worried about? Haven't we been through more dangerous situations than that scene from a few days ago?"

Depp nodded blankly, not really understanding how dangerous it was for Lin Yuan to be buried underground by quicksand.

In his mind, it shouldn't be more dangerous than being on a nuclear submarine and having to exit the submarine at deep sea after it crashed into the ocean.

But the truth is counterintuitive: without wearing a pressure-resistant diving suit, Lin Yuan can withstand the water pressure at a depth of more than 200 meters, but he cannot withstand the pressure of wet quicksand at a depth of 15 meters.

The past few days have truly been the closest Lin Yuan has ever come to death since his debut.

"Come on, let's get down to business." Lin Yuan didn't want to get entangled with Depp on this topic any further, so he decisively changed the subject.

"Understood! I've missed several days of filming, but I'll catch up on the scenes as soon as I get back to the crew," Depp immediately assured him.

Filming is like an army going to war; once it starts, every minute is burning through the budget. Depp certainly understands this.

He was a week behind, so his first instinct was to make up for the lost time as soon as possible.

Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head: "The important thing I'm talking about is your wedding with Meng Tao. It's time to hold it."

"Huh?" Depp was surprised that Lin Yuan was referring to this matter.

"What? Two stunningly beautiful women are willing to come with you to this godforsaken, harsh place to film a movie. They can't be doing this for some minor role with hardly any lines, can they?" Lin Yuan complained.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, Amber, who was standing to the side, and Scarlett, who was not far away, both had hopeful eyes.

"Look at you, you've kept them waiting!" Lin Yuan teased with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Amber and Scarlett both laughed somewhat embarrassedly.

“Since I’m the officiant, I’ll make the decision. We’ll hold the wedding ceremony for you tomorrow night,” Lin Yuan said.

"So fast? Your injuries haven't healed yet!" Depp immediately thought of Lin Yuan's health.

Meng Tao couldn't help but ask, "How about we wait a few more days?"

Lin Yuan shook his head: "The conditions will be best tomorrow night, it would be a pity to miss it. I'm fine physically, and I'll be back to filming action scenes in another week."

"That's good, I'll do as you say," Depp happily agreed.

Lin Yuan waved his hand, and his thoughtful assistant GAKKI immediately handed four bound copies of the plan to the two couples.

"What is this?" Meng Tao asked curiously.

"This is the wedding plan for tomorrow," Lin Yuan said with a smile. "I kept it hidden until now to give you a little surprise."

"Damn! Your secrecy is absolutely amazing!" Meng Tao couldn't help but swear.

He was the one who set up this filming camp, and he was also deeply involved in the allocation of various resources and personnel.

But Lin Yuan managed to secretly come up with a wedding plan without his knowledge.

This only proves one thing: all the crew members involved in this matter kindly concealed it from him, doing everything they could to keep it a secret, just to give him a big surprise.

This enthusiasm brought tears to Meng Tao's eyes.

His previous marriage was a failure; it started beautifully but ended badly. He resented it and struggled to make it work, but ultimately found that the cracks could never be healed, and he had no choice but to end it hastily.

This reminded Meng Tao of something Lin Yuan had said:
A marriage with infidelity is like a pile of shit.

You either have to swallow it or spit it out and rinse your mouth immediately; never keep it in your mouth.

The words may be crude, but the principle is sound. However, Meng Tao had been holding onto this for several years, unable to swallow it or spit it out.

Now that a new chapter is finally about to begin, Meng Tao could not contain his excitement.

He, Depp, Scarlett, and Amber Heard couldn't help but quickly flip through the wedding arrangements in their hands, eager to know what surprise Lin Yuan had prepared.

"God!" *2
"F*CK!"2
After reading a few lines, the four of them couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

"So? Is this kind of wedding something you'll never forget?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

"Of course!" the four answered in unison.

"Was the wedding venue grand enough to rival even the wealthiest people?" Lin Yuan continued to ask.

"Of course!"
"Is the wedding unique, something that others can't replicate no matter how much money they spend?" Lin Yuan asked again.

"The Source God is mighty! We love you so much!" *4
"Aren't you all ready? Tomorrow is your battlefield, so don't mess things up!" Lin Yuan shouted.

"Absolutely no problem!"

"Hahaha, congratulations on your marriage!" The crew members watching from the sidelines were also infected by the joyful atmosphere and all laughed and offered their blessings.

Tomorrow's wedding is being organized by the entire film crew, and everyone present is a participant, so the atmosphere is naturally extremely joyful.

Lin Yuan knew that tomorrow's wedding would be an unforgettable final ceremony for all participants and witnesses.

The theme of this wedding was: "The yellow sand is our witness, and the stars are our matchmaker."

The chosen wedding date is from dusk tomorrow until the night when the sky is full of stars.

Using a magnificent and desolate setting as the stage is something that others can hardly achieve, but what is even more unimaginable is that this will be a super carnival of themed weddings.

Imagine that even the wedding of a tycoon would simply be held in a super luxurious hotel or on a large green lawn overlooking the mountains and the sea, for an open-air ceremony.

Even if the event were held at the Louvre or Notre Dame Cathedral, it still wouldn't compare to the stunning scenery of the location where this scene was filmed.

But what's truly the hardest thing to replicate is whether your wedding venue, no matter how you decorate it, can create the apocalyptic atmosphere of Mad Max 4, which was created with hundreds of millions of dollars in production costs.
Whether it's rampaging punk motorcycles or towering doomsday watchtowers, these costly set designs are impossible to use in a real wedding. But tomorrow's wedding can take advantage of the popularity of Mad Max: Fury Road, using all of this as a stage to create a unique themed wedding.

A post-apocalyptic themed wedding, set against a stunning natural backdrop, perfectly expresses:

Even if the world ends, I will still be with you!
It must be said that this is truly an ultimate and unique kind of romance.

No wonder Meng Tao, Depp, and the other two were so satisfied and moved.

“Lin Yuan, I’m so lucky to be your friend. The best decision I ever made was making Pirates of the Caribbean,” Depp said emotionally.

"Lin Yuan, I won't say much in return for your thanks; I'll keep it all in my heart," Meng Tao said.

"Stop getting sentimental. I'm just using this opportunity of filming a movie to let you guys benefit from it," Lin Yuan said with a smile. "Besides, I also want to use you guys as practice subjects to gain some experience so I can use it on the movie set at my own wedding someday."

"cut!"

"F*CK!"

……

……

The entire crew stopped filming the next day and busied themselves with wedding preparations.

The wedding will begin when the sun sets over the Taklamakan Desert, like a red-hot iron ball, slowly sinking below the horizon of the desert.

Beside the Dragon Scale Sand Dunes, the sand grains gleamed with a metallic sheen in the twilight, like countless tiny blades fluttering in the wind.

Lin Yuan sat atop the sand dune, watching the busy figures below, his earphones occasionally picking up the sounds of people talking.

"Move that incendiary barrel three meters to the left!" Old Zhou, the props team leader, yelled into the walkie-talkie. "I want the flames to reflect perfectly onto the newlyweds' faces!"

Twenty crew members were busy piling up scrapped V8 tank engines to form an altar.

The steel surface, deliberately preserved with bullet marks and charred blackening from the filming, is now entwined with blood-red desert roses.

This is a preserved flower made of silicone and real flowers by the makeup team over a whole day. In the twilight, it looks like congealed blood, and it also represents the bright and passionate love in the apocalypse.

All these preparations took place next to the main stage of the wedding ceremony—the ruins of the altar of steel and roses.

At the edge of the main stage is the guest reception area—the post-apocalyptic punk viewing area.

Discarded oil drums are cut into seats and covered with tanned camel hide.

Each seat is equipped with a "radiation dust filter mask," which is actually a champagne spray device.

The floor is covered with an antique Persian carpet, but the pattern has been changed to a cyberpunk style with gears and skulls.

In the middle of the viewing area, the passageway leading to the main stage is a meticulously designed sandy starry river walkway.

LED light strips are embedded under transparent tempered glass to simulate the light and shadow of flowing sand.

The glass is sprinkled with gold dust and broken glass, making it feel like walking on a starry river.

Lin Yuan was quite satisfied with the setup, and he knew that Meng Tao and Depp were also very satisfied.

"Shh shh shh~" At this moment, a series of quick footsteps came.

"Source God, do you think this is okay?" The young art assistant jogged over, holding a newly soldered oath book in his hand.

It was a metal frame cast from .50 caliber bullet casings, with a piece of tempered glass on top, salvaged from a discarded camera.

In a little while, Lin Yuan will take this "unique" wedding vow book to the stage to officiate at the weddings of the two couples.

Lin Yuan ran his finger across the metal surface, feeling the uneven bullet marks on it.

“Add some rust,” Lin Yuan said. “It should look like an antique dug out of the sand, giving it a more timeless, enduring feel to the marriage.”

"Understood, I'll go take care of it right away." The art assistant jogged off to get busy again.

The roar of engines could be heard in the distance.

A member of the film crew is test-driving the "Black Widow vehicle" that was specially modified for the wedding.

The six-meter-long vehicle was painted matte black, and the twin-barreled flamethrower mounted on the roof suddenly spewed out two ten-meter-long tongues of fire, drawing heart-shaped trails in the already darkened sky.

"Damn it!" Director Miller's curse came from behind the monitor: "Who told him to test the fire now? Save the fuel!"

Watching everyone playfully bickering and creating a joyful atmosphere, Lin Yuan truly felt the beauty of life.

Lin Yuan strived for perfection in every detail of the wedding, so everyone was still refining the details right before the ceremony began.

This wedding will not only be an unforgettable moment for Depp and Meng Tao, but it will also help them through some difficult moments in their marriage in the future.

No marriage can be sweet forever; there are countless moments when you want to give up and break up.

But whenever such moments come, just remembering the beauty of the wedding day might help you endure it.

Of course, if this extravagant wedding was only for two couples, then it would be somewhat of an abuse of power.

In fact, the entire wedding ceremony, which was recorded, will have an unparalleled promotional effect when the movie is released in the future.

Lin Yuan's films have reached a bottleneck to some extent, and the effectiveness of their promotion and distribution is declining sharply.

Because Lin Yuan's fame is so high, his recognition is beyond compare.

The audience that could win him over and be willing to pay to watch his movies has already been exhausted.

So sometimes spending $1 million on marketing and promotion doesn't make much difference compared to spending $1000 million. As long as the movie fans know that Lin Yuan has a new movie being released, that's enough.

There's no need to use a lot of promotional materials to show how great the movie is, in order to attract moviegoers to the theater.

Because "Linyuan products" is a golden brand that exempts you from inspection!
In this situation, to further expand the market, it is necessary to win over moviegoers who do not usually watch action movies.

Human preferences are truly diverse. There will always be a group of people who simply won't watch Lin Yuan's action movies, no matter how exciting they are.

Because they are simply not interested in action movies.

The best way to break out of the niche at this point is to showcase more elements.

Previously, the element of "the splendor of the Tang Dynasty" was showcased in "The Song of the Great Tang Dynasty," attracting many new viewers to become fans.

Later, Lin Yuan also relied on the element of "wild nature" in "Jungle Bully" to attract a lot of new users.

Meng Tao and Depp's wedding can achieve the same effect.

Imagine how many new fans would be attracted when a stunningly romantic yet wildly passionate wedding is presented to the public in an unprecedented way? (End of Chapter)
