Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Next, the wedding moved into the dinner reception, and the camera panned across the tables—

A table made of crooked metal debris, with a "blood cocktail" in the center, is actually pomegranate juice mixed with liquid nitrogen smoke.

The cutlery consists of bone saw-shaped knives, and even the chopsticks are engraved with gear patterns.

"This...this is a wedding banquet?!" Xiuying's eyes widened.

"The appetizer is 'radiated scorpion sashimi'... Actually, it's a portioned dish of lobster with glowing sauce?" Hwang Mi-young read out the subtitles, looking incredulous.

"The main course is 'Tomahawk Engine Steak'—steak grilled on real piston connecting rods?!" Jessica swallowed hard.

"Even the food fits the apocalyptic theme... This planning is incredibly detailed!" Im Yoona exclaimed.

Such a wedding banquet was something the young women had never seen before, and it was undeniably a complete shock to them.

Finally, the wedding scene was captured under the starry sky—

Two couples embraced and kissed in front of the altar, with burning totem poles and the vast Milky Way behind them.

Lin Yuan's voice came from off-screen:

"The yellow sand is our witness, and the stars are our matchmaker."

Meng Tao and Depp's wedding was destined to be shown to audiences worldwide with the release of the film.

This will likely be the most-watched wedding in history.

Women are all vain, and Scarlett and Amber were not at all smug at this moment, because they were already incredibly smug.

I'm so envious!
The girls watching the film all shared the same sentiment.

"..."

A brief silence fell over the screening room.

“…This is outrageous,” Taeyeon suddenly said.

"Hmm?" The members looked at her.

“I used to think that weddings were either luxurious or intimate, there was always a template,” Taeyeon said softly, staring at the screen. “But now I understand that true romance is about making the impossible possible.”

“That’s right!” Huang Meiying raised her hand: “The most expensive thing about this wedding is not the decorations, but the ‘unique’ sentiment!”

"The wedding was planned by Lin Yuan oppa," Lin Yoona said, raising her hand.

"..."*8
The scene fell silent once again.

This man is handsome, rich, brave, powerful, of high status, and so romantic...

That's practically foul!
If Lin Yuan can manage to organize weddings to this extent for others, what will he be like when he gets married himself?

It's truly unimaginable!
The wedding on the big screen is over, but the burning desert and the dazzling starry sky in the minds of teenagers will probably remain vivid for a long time.

The documentary "Journey to the End of the World" is still airing, but director Miller has once again disrupted the recording order.

The previous storyline has already completed two cycles: tension (the convoy getting stuck) - warmth (a party under the stars) - tension (rescue during a black sandstorm) - warmth (a doomsday wedding).

But then, there were no more heartwarming scenes, only three highly tense plot points, one after another, pushing the audience's emotions to a climax.

The plot sequence is: Charlize's truck jump, Lin Yuan's quicksand fighting arena, and finally, the super thunderstorm night.

Charlize's truck jump scene once again refreshed the girls' perception of her.

Of all the actresses Lin Yuan has worked with over the years, Charlize is the only one who has worked so hard with him to challenge himself with action scenes.

In the previous film, "The King of Spies 2", Charlize and Lin Yuan rushed into a sea of ​​fire and climbed a huge ice wall together.

This time, he drove alone, leaping over cliffs and canyons, delivering an extremely impressive performance.

However, an accident occurred later: the truck plunged into a canyon, and Lin Yuan and Scarlett almost met with misfortune.

Fortunately, both of them escaped danger in the end, which relieved the girls.

“Filming Mad Max: Fury Road was really dangerous; Amber Heard and Scarlett Johansson each faced a life-threatening situation,” Choi Soo-young said.

Hwang Mi-young nodded: "Even ordinary actors are in such danger, Lin Yuan's experience must be even more perilous, right?"

Her words immediately resonated with the girls.

While watching Mad Max: Fury Road, the quicksand fighting scene and the thunderstorm night scene were incredibly thrilling for them.

It looks so thrilling in the movie, it must have been even more dangerous during filming, right?

As die-hard fans of Lin Yuan, they naturally know an ironclad rule:
That's because the action scenes in Lin Yuan's movies are often more dangerous to film than they are in the movies.

The girls' curiosity wasn't kept waiting long before the big screen showed footage of the filming:
The lights in the screening room dimmed, and the behind-the-scenes footage that the entire crew would never forget began to play on the screen.

The first thing that catches the eye is the scorching sun of the Taklamakan Desert and the iron cage that is slowly sinking.

"Oh my god..." Taeyeon unconsciously held her breath as she watched the quicksand in the scene reach up to Lin Yuan's waist.

The yellowish-brown sand grains clung to his body like living things, and each struggle brought in more sand.

“Look at his expression…” Xu Xian said softly, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes tightly.

In close-up shots, Lin Yuan's face is flushed red from lack of oxygen, and the veins on his neck are clearly visible.

Sand was frantically pouring into his collar, and every breath he took was accompanied by a terrible "clucking" sound.

Hwang Mi-young suddenly clutched her chest: "This is so much more realistic than the special effects we used when filming our music videos..."

She recalled the suffocating feeling she had when she was buried up to her chest by prop sand, while Lin Yuan in the picture was experiencing a real live burial.

On the big screen, the iron cage continued to sink, finally taking Lin Yuan away into the endless yellow sand, leaving only the creaking sound of the iron chains.

This filled the girls with immense terror, as if they themselves were the ones being buried alive.

At this moment, the big screen was completely black, just like the dark and hopeless environment after Lin Yuan was buried alive.

The sound coming from the speaker was recorded by an underground microphone, and Kim Tae-yeon unconsciously grabbed the hand of Lim Yoon-ah beside her.

"That's... the sound of steam?" Xiuying's eyes widened as she looked at the underground temperature displayed on the big screen: 142℃!
The soft rubber parts inside the prop dummy are melting, emitting a terrifying "sizzling" sound.

"This temperature..." Jessica's face paled, "It could cook meat!"

Even more terrifying was the sound coming from the bone conduction microphone: Lin Yuan's heartbeat was getting slower and heavier, mixed with the ear-piercing sound of sand rubbing against his bones.

Without realizing it, Yoona wrapped her arms around Taeyeon, both of them quite tightly, yet neither of them noticed.

At this moment, the big screen finally lit up, displaying the image again.

This delighted the girls: they were finally going to see how Lin Yuan was doing.

The image on the big screen was divided into three parts, clearly shot from three different camera angles:

Two of them are located on the top corner of the iron cage, one of which is a miniature body camera hanging on Lin Yuan's body.

When the footage showed Lin Yuan touching the broken railing, Jessica suddenly sat up straight: "What is he going to do?"

The camera shifts to Lin Yuan's perspective: in complete darkness, he is measuring the width of the broken section of the railing with his fingers.

Choi Soo-young gasped: "He's going to move through quicksand? How is that possible?"

"Wait, what is he waiting for?" Taeyeon keenly noticed Lin Yuan's sudden stillness.

When the local hot steam erupted for the second time, a gasp rippled through the screening room. The girls watched as Lin Yuan seized this fleeting opportunity and leaped out of the iron cage like a fish.

"He calculated the intervals between steam eruptions! He moved by taking advantage of the pressure decrease during the steam eruptions!" Xu Xian exclaimed, "This is incredible..."

While watching Mad Max: Fury Road, they racked their brains trying to figure out how Lin Yuan escaped from underground.

This finally answered the girls' questions.

But is it safe just by crawling out of the iron cage?
Obviously, it can't be that simple!
The most heart-wrenching scene for the girls then appeared: a close-up of Lin Yuan grabbing the iron chain and climbing upwards.

His palms were scalded by the high-temperature steam, leaving bloody marks on the iron chains with every grip.

“His hand…his hand…” Huang Meiying’s voice was choked with sobs as she watched the blood droplets mixed with sand drip down.

When Lin Yuan's right leg was pierced by a piece of iron chain, Lin Yoona suddenly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling incessantly.

But the next second, she forced herself to open her eyes again, because she didn't want to miss a single scene.

"He's still smiling..." Xu Xian suddenly realized that even in such an extreme situation, Lin Yuan's eyes remained firm, and there was even a faint smile on his lips.

The most breathtaking moment was when it emerged from beneath the sand.

Grains of sand fell softly from his hair, shimmering like golden crowns in the sunlight.

This should have been a moment of cheers and applause, but instead, the theater was filled with sobs.

Only when the medical staff surrounded them did the girls see Lin Yuan's true injuries.

The girls looked at the figure covered in blood, his combat uniform tattered, and his exposed skin covered in blisters and abrasions.

“This is called a ‘minor abrasion’?” Huang Meiying pointed to Lin Yuan’s words to the medical staff in the video, her voice choked with emotion.

The camera pans across close-ups of his injuries: 57% second-degree burns, a fractured right scapula, a perforated eardrum...

Jessica suddenly remembered how she used to cry when she twisted her ankle while practicing dance, and she lowered her head in shame.

Anyone who wants to succeed has to put in tremendous effort, and Lin Yuan is no exception.

The final shot of the behind-the-scenes footage shows Lin Yuan's fist still clenched as he is lifted onto a stretcher.

The grains of sand that slipped through my fingers sparkled in the sunlight, like a handful of broken diamonds.

"How...how did he manage to persevere..." Taeyeon asked softly, tears silently streaming down her face.

When the subtitles read, "[This scene is 100% real footage, no special effects, no stunt doubles]", Taeyeon suddenly stood up and applauded.

Soon, the entire screening room erupted in enthusiastic applause that lasted for a long time.

Looking at Lin Yuan's bloodied yet still smiling face in the image, Hwang Mi-young's affection for him deepened: "Not because he's handsome, but because... he truly deserves it."

She saw the same emotions in the eyes of Yoona and Taeyeon.

As for the remaining six girls, they were completely impressed by Lin Yuan's dedication and hard work.

Jessica, who was clapping, stood up and turned to look at Lin Yuan.

This action immediately reminded the other girls: "Yeah, we're not watching a movie in a movie theater, the lead actor is right here in the theater."

So everyone turned around, smiled and clapped at Lin Yuan.

Even though Lin Yuan has been in the industry for so many years, he still has a social anxiety personality.

Seeing the girls clapping at him, he felt a little awkward, even though he knew it was out of kindness.

So he smiled helplessly and said, "Let's watch the movie first. I received all your applause; it wasn't for nothing!"

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, the girls smiled.

That's really true. Normally, when clapping in the movie theater, no matter how loudly the hands are clapped, Lin Yuan can't hear it. He's more likely just getting himself excited and trying to liven up the atmosphere of the movie.

Lin Yuan received the applause directly today, so it really wasn't in vain.

Lin Yuan's teasing briefly brightened the atmosphere, but it was quickly replaced by an even more somber mood.

Because the big screen started showing Lin Yuan's debridement surgery!
This is truly the first time that Lin Yuan's torture has been shown on the big screen...

The air in the screening room seemed to freeze.

Taeyeon bit her lip tightly as she watched Dr. Joseph's tweezers probe into the wound on Lin Yuan's arm.

"Crunch"—as the first grain of bloody sand was removed, tears of heartache blurred her vision.

“Nine grains of sand per square centimeter?” Seohyun’s voice trembled with tears as she drew squares in her notebook, trying to imagine the pain.

When the scene switched to a negative pressure suction device sucking sand out of her nasal cavity, she suddenly closed the notebook, tears wetting the pages.

"Eyeballs... do you have to scrape your eyeballs too?" Yoona's voice changed.

When the corneal scraper was placed close to the surface of Lin Yuan's eyeball, she painfully squinted her eyes.

"Hiss—" The sound of the bio-enzyme spray made Huang Meiying shudder.

As she watched the gel form a protective film on Lin Yuan's chest, she suddenly remembered the crying and screaming she had during her last laser hair removal treatment, and couldn't help but squeeze her legs tightly together.

As the titanium alloy scissors cut through the glued-together tactical uniform, Jessica instinctively grabbed her collar.

The tearing sound reminded her of the terrifying memory of ripping off wax paper from her legs, and her calf muscles began to spasm physiologically.

The girls stared intently at the nurse's trembling hands as the "lava flow pattern" burns were displayed on the screen.

Even the most experienced nurses couldn't help but tremble at this moment, simply because they couldn't imagine that one person could have so many wounds!
Just then, Lim Yoona suddenly stood up from the table and chair.

Taeyeon thought Yoona was about to break down and couldn't take it anymore, so she took Yoona's hand to comfort her.

But Yoona grabbed Taeyeon's hand instead.

Taeyeon: ? ? ?
Does this mean I should go with her?
So Taeyeon got up in a daze and was pulled by Yoona to walk to the back row.

"You don't need to worry so much." Seeing the two girls arrive with red eyes, Lin Yuan knew exactly why. He smiled and comforted them, "I'm fine now, aren't I? My skin has recovered smoothly, and there are no scars left."

Lin Yuan thought that by saying this, he could divert their attention and make them focus on how to avoid leaving scars.

But Yoona and Taeyeon sat down next to him.

The two men reached out and firmly grasped Lin Yuan's hand.

Well, that's the best comfort, so Lin Yuan didn't say anything more and just quietly leaned against the two of them.

however……

Tiffany followed Taeyeon and Yoona to him.

Im Yoona: "???"

What's happening here?
Taeyeon smiled and patted the seat next to her, indicating that her best friend should sit with her.

Huang Meiying finally got a seat, and just as she was about to sit down, she noticed that the remaining six girls had also gathered around the back row.

Lin Yuan: "..."

Although I know they only care about me and don't mean anything by it, this concern feels a bit too heavy. (End of Chapter)
