Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Although Lin Xiao felt helpless, he knew that everyone cared about him.

He could only accept the kindness, but it was really difficult to fit so many people in one row, so he simply moved to the second row and sat down so that everyone could sit around him.

At this moment, the camera on the big screen focused on the 23cm fragment of the iron chain.

When the girls learned that the chain fragment had pierced their leg artery only 1.7 millimeters away, they gasped in shock.

Kim Tae-yeon, sitting in the back row, suddenly stood up and then sat down again, her constantly changing posture revealing her inner turmoil.

“1.7 millimeters…” she repeated the number over and over, as if it could alleviate Lin Yuan’s pain.

On the big screen, Dr. Joseph, the lead surgeon, is explaining the surgical plan to his team:

"We need to use a diamond-coated bone saw to cut the fragments outside the body. We must be careful to control the force to avoid damaging the aorta."

"Next, low-temperature saline solution is injected for internal cooling and local cleaning."

"I'll personally remove the last fragment; you guys help me stabilize the surrounding wound."

The simple introduction left the young girls watching the film with endless worries.

Everyone knows that this surgery sounds simple, but it is actually very torturous; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it torture.

They stared intently at the big screen, afraid of missing any detail of the medical team's actions.

"Buzz!"

Amidst the hum of the diamond bone saw, Taeyeon's tears finally broke free.

Looking at Lin Yuan's still smiling expression on the big screen, she suddenly understood what "scraping the bone to heal the wound" meant.

“He’s comforting the doctor…” Taeyeon choked up as she pointed ahead.

In the video, Lin Yuan jokingly says, "If you move even a little, you're not a hero."

This realization made her cry so hard she trembled all over, and her makeup was ruined.

On the big screen, to avoid further tearing of the wound, Dr. Joseph began to carefully extract the fragments in a reverse spiral motion.

The moment the chain was pulled out with a "pop," a jet of blood gushed out, and sobs filled the entire screening room.

Choi Soo-young's false eyelashes fell off by half, Jessica's nose was bright red, and everyone was saddened by the pain Lin Yuan had suffered, crying uncontrollably.

Lin Yoona pointed to the red willow branch meat skewers and red pomegranate juice on the small table: "These are all earned by Lin Yuan oppa with his hard-earned money. I feel like I'm eating his flesh and drinking his blood."

Hearing Yoona's words, Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh: "You're exaggerating!"

He understood what Yoona was trying to say; the money he earned could indeed be called "hard-earned money."

But we also need to look at how much he earned.

Lin Yuan continued, "It's not that exaggerated. Do you know how much money I've made?"

The little bit of money you spend on food and drink is like dropping a drop of blood into a pool at an aquarium, and then scooping out a cup for you.

Lin Yuan's explanation made Lin Yoona burst out laughing, which greatly relieved her originally sad mood.

At this moment, on the big screen, Lin Yuan's surgery was also coming to an end.

Lin Yuan's body was meticulously wrapped in bandages by the nurses, making him look like a mummy.

Dr. Joseph's presentation, accompanied by text and pictures, showed the audience the hardship and difficulty of this surgery.

The entire debridement process took 4.5 hours, and a total of 18.7g of foreign matter was removed.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly small weight; 18.7 grams is just the weight of two packs of QQ candy.

But this 18.7-gram weight is entirely composed of individual grains of sand.

These blood-stained sands were dug out bit by bit from Lin Yuan's body.

It can be said that the pain Lin Yuan suffered during this debridement surgery was no less than that of being slowly sliced ​​to death!
This kind of pain is definitely not something an ordinary person can endure, but Lin Yuan managed to get through it without using any anesthetic.

If the entire debridement process had not been filmed with Lin Yuan's permission, no one would have believed it was true.

The route used in this debridement process was desensitized; otherwise, showing it to the audience untouched would have been too bloody and depressing.

Director Miller controlled this balance very well, maintaining authenticity and highlighting Lin Yuan's resilience and the pain he suffered, while keeping the visuals within the acceptable range for the general public.

Lin Xiao was very satisfied with director Miller's performance. Just by watching the finished cuts of these two films, he believed that director Miller would probably be able to own an independent studio at Lin Yuan Film Industry in the future and become one of the owners of the company.

At this point, the big screen jumped to the final part of the documentary "Journey to the End of the World".

Everyone was filled with anticipation for this.

However, the reason for the anticipation is not because of the amazing super thunderstorm, which we have already experienced in Mad Max: Fury Road.

The girls watching the movie were more concerned about whether it was actually filmed on location.
It's no wonder that the girls were still somewhat skeptical, even though they knew Lin Yuan was only filming action scenes. The lightning in the movie was so spectacular that it was hard to believe it was real.

Even if it were true, how could such a scene be filmed?
You can't expect lightning to cooperate with humans in making movies, can you?

Clearly, the girls' doubts are the same doubts that all viewers had after the film's official release.

Director Miller anticipated this, so in the final segment of "Journey to the End of the World," he focused on showing how this plot was filmed.

On the big screen, director Miller and Meng Tao stood in front of the camera, talking animatedly:

"We prepared a total of three filming vehicles for this scene."

As director Miller and Meng Tao explained, the screen switched to three specially modified filming vehicles.

The members of Girls' Generation were immediately drawn to these "steel beasts".

Main camera vehicle #1 (codename "Lightning Hunter")
The vehicle body is reinforced with military-grade bulletproof steel and covered with a carbon fiber anti-lightning coating. It carries a $200 million Phantom high-speed camera that can shoot 1000 frames per second.

A 360° camera platform that can be raised and lowered is installed on the roof of the vehicle and is equipped with a gyro stabilization system.

The power system has a dual power supply (fuel generator + supercapacitor) to ensure uninterrupted power supply during thunderstorms.

Xu Xian immediately spotted the highlight: "Look at that roof platform! It can maintain absolute horizontal stability at 80 kilometers per hour!"

"As expected of the main camera vehicle, the cost is truly staggering," Kim Tae-yeon remarked.

Second auxiliary camera vehicle (codename "Eye of Thundercloud")
Equipped with three Red Epic-W 8K cameras (simultaneous shooting of wide-angle, mid-range, and telephoto lenses).

Meanwhile, a laser rangefinder is installed on the front of the vehicle to accurately measure the distance to the point where lightning strikes.

Im Yoona pointed to the strange device on the front of the car and asked, "What's that, which looks like a searchlight, for?" Seohyun pointed to the explanation on the large screen and said, "That's an atmospheric electric field monitor; it can predict the probability of a lightning strike within 30 seconds."

Technical Support Vehicle No. 3 (codename "Aegis")
The vehicle body is modified from the Dongfeng Mengshi military off-road vehicle, and the entire vehicle features electromagnetic shielding design.

The vehicle's electronic equipment can receive real-time weather radar data from 12 kilometers away and control four anti-electromagnetic interference drones.

As the introduction began, the camera suddenly zoomed out!
“Look at that drone!” Jessica suddenly pointed to the screen.

In the footage, four oddly shaped aircraft are taking off into the thunderclouds. Huang Meiying's eyes widened: "These are definitely not ordinary drones!"

As the behind-the-scenes footage zooms in, the details of the lightning-resistant drone specially made by Lin Yuan's team are clearly revealed:
The fuselage is made of glass fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composite material, and the rotor connection is wrapped with a silver nanowire conductive layer.

Choi Soo-young suddenly realized: "So these patterns are conductive mesh? It's like putting a lightning protection suit on a drone!"

The girls on set were stunned. They never expected that the crew would use three such high-tech camera vehicles, along with four specially made lightning-proof drones, to film this scene.

Such luxurious equipment must have cost a lot of money, right?
What surprised the girls even more was that director Miller explained the filming equipment in such detail. Why was that?

The bright young girls quickly realized there were at least two reasons:

The first and foremost reason is to provide a detailed explanation to dispel any future doubts that the production team did not actually film any scenes!

Such a thrilling scene would inevitably raise questions about its authenticity, but the production team used the most hardcore approach to explain it, silencing the doubters in advance.

Secondly, director Miller, or rather, Lin Yuan behind him, genuinely wanted to teach other filmmakers how to achieve such effects.

Normally, other film companies would consider this a "closed secret" in film production.

But Lin Yuan just openly and generously presented it to everyone, as if afraid that you wouldn't be able to learn it.

This open-mindedness—sharing experiences without reservation and hoping everyone can work together to make better movies—moved even Girls' Generation from the K-pop world.

After introducing the filming plan, director Miller went on to answer several questions in the documentary, satisfying the audience's curiosity to the greatest extent possible.

First, there's the question: "So lightning really can be tamed by humans?!"—the ingenious use of scientific tools.

When the behind-the-scenes footage showed how Lin Yuan's team precisely guided lightning, Xu Xian suddenly sat up straight, his eyes wide: "Wait, can they really control lightning to strike a specific location?"

On the screen, Meng Tao is explaining how the Teramobile laser system works—a technology that creates ionization channels in the air by emitting ultra-intense laser pulses.

Yoona covered her mouth: "Isn't this just like laying a lightning highway in the sky?"

On the big screen, Meng Tao, who had guessed the audience's thoughts, seemed to be having a dialogue across time and space:

"Not only that! Look at those flashing blue lights on the sand, that's a mixture of sodium chloride and silver nitrate aerosols! They significantly increase the electrical conductivity of the air, like giving lightning GPS navigation!"

Choi Soo-young pointed to the carbon nanotube network that suddenly lit up on the screen: "What are these black filaments?"

On the big screen, Meng Tao smiled and said, "This is a carbon nanotube suspension! They are sprayed onto the target area, forming a superconducting network that makes lightning obey, increasing the chances of it striking the target location directly!"

Kim Tae-yeon was stunned: "So... Lim Won oppa wasn't gambling with luck, but playing a high-tech version of 'lightning summoning magic'?"

When Lin Yuan made this entire technical solution public, it meant that other film crews could simply copy it if they wanted to shoot action scenes with lightning.

He was genuinely afraid that his competitors wouldn't be able to learn it!
Next, the behind-the-scenes footage introduced the following items to answer viewers' questions:

"Struck by lightning but unharmed? How to use the Faraday cage principle to film action scenes during a thunderstorm?"

"A sandboard capable of 200 km/h? How can you make a sandboard faster than a sports car!"

"A single lightning bolt could power 1000 households for a day! Lin Yuan faced a super lightning bolt with a voltage of 10 billion volts!"

When the behind-the-scenes footage ended, the screening room fell into a brief silence.

Im Yoon-a sighed softly, "It turns out that behind every thrilling scene lies meticulous scientific calculation."

Seohyun took a deep breath: "This is not just a film shoot, but also a perfect application of high-tech equipment."

As Kim Tae-yeon watched the end credits, she smiled and said, "But what's most admirable is that courage to challenge the limits."

All nine members spontaneously burst into applause—this time, the applause was for the perfect combination of science and courage.

After "Journey to the End of the World" finished airing, the girls all realized:

To create action scenes like those in "Mad Max: Fury Road," it's not enough for Lin Yuan to be willing to risk his life alone.

This success is the result of the collective efforts of an extremely professional team.

Now, they will also join the team, adding a brick to make the film even more perfect.

Lin Yuan got up from his seat and looked at his watch: it was almost 2 o'clock.

So he said, "It's late, everyone should go back and rest. We have to record a song tomorrow morning."

This was the girls' mission in New York, and they were naturally not going to be lazy. So they said goodbye to Lin Yuan and went back to their rooms to rest.

……

……

When Yoona returned to her room, she mechanically changed into her cotton pajamas, but suddenly stopped while tying the belt.

Unconsciously, her fingertips traced the wrinkles on her pajamas, and the eyelashes of her reflection in the mirror trembled gently in the warm light—how could tonight possibly end like this?
She abruptly ripped off the headband she had just put on, and as her silky black hair cascaded down, a decision was made.

She walked out of her room and headed straight for Taeyeon's room.

Last time, in Taeyeon unnie's room, I found Lin Yuan hiding in her bed!

What about this time?
When Yoona pushed open Taeyeon's door and looked around, she was indeed not in the room!

A thought immediately flashed through her mind: Taeyeon unnie went to find Lin Yuan to eat alone!

She understood Taeyeon's thoughts. After watching the movie tonight, she knew how much risk Lin Yuan was taking to move forward.

When it comes to Lin Yuan, you can only cherish the present moment and leave no regrets.

When she saw those movie scenes, she was genuinely afraid that she would never see Lin Yuan again.

then……

Lim Yoona took a deep breath and made up her mind.

She quietly closed the door and left Taeyeon's room, tiptoeing towards Lin Yuan's room on the second floor.

The moment Lin Yuan's door was pushed open, the clear sound of running water came from the bathroom... (End of Chapter)
