Reborn to Dominate Hollywood

On the fourteenth night in the forest, they came to a hotel and spent two weeks in the forest.

The bus they were on was now filled with half-asleep people, some still indulging in the beauty they were lucky enough to see.

They cherish every scene. "They" are mostly people from the film crew.

Nick and Relin pull out their laptops and go through the photos one by one. Some stood next to them, some behind them.

Still, all eyes were on the photos and videos they had taken during the trip.

---------------------

the mighty cruise ship [of the Mariana Trench]

allows everyone to look up and bow their necks for an unobstructed view.

The blue sky adds an extra effect to the excitement and adrenaline already surging through their veins.

The blue sky is complemented by the angry waves that are coming at them.

Ian, who walked between Mason and Raelin, felt salt on his tongue as he explained to them what he was going to do with the film crew today.

Hearing the captain's order, everyone began to board the ship.

"We're going to dive! It's like the first time I've actually done this!"

"Oh my God, the cruise ship is so big... I love the way it looks on top

!" "It's like a dream come true...!"

Almost everyone was trumpeted to step inside the boat, but the comments came from the Ian crew, led by Nick.

Goofy's crew was equally excited, but didn't show off, considering how much experience they had in this situation.

Best of all, for the film crew, led by Raelyn and Nick, the entire journey was work-based.

Everyone has different thoughts and feelings after entering the cruise, and considering that Ian has explained what they are going to do once they enter the cruise, they are all looking forward to the new experience.

As soon as they got on board, the boat started with a loud roar of engines.

People from different corners of the ship gathered on its foredeck and looked at the sea with great interest.

The ship came to the middle of the sea, and everywhere ... Pure blue.

The sky, the blue ocean – everything looks fascinating.

Some had their hair ruffled by the wind, while others chatted while enjoying the view of the seaside.

"So, when we go inside, there are so many different types of marine life, just.... Enjoy!" Ian cheered as he said this to the members.

"But in the second round, when we get there, I want you all to shoot as much as you can. It could be a sample, I don't mind, but anything you see and you're in awe, take a picture. If you feel that the first time may be the luck of the beauties, because the second time we go down, they will disappear, bring your camera. Either way, I want everyone to be there to enjoy, okay?!" Ian's words made everyone nod their heads.

After playing around on the site for a while, Ian announced that the film crew and some people from the VFX department planned to go out to sea - dive and take some photos.

"I've never been exposed to whales before, and I've heard that there are whales in there," Railyn said with fear in her eyes.

"Oh yes. Not to mention, many other marine animals – fish. Pray that you can spend more time with me because it looks like your life is doing nothing but staying behind the camera," Ian joked.

As time flies and they enjoy every second, Ian and Leylin are getting closer and closer at the moment, just like everyone else on the ship.

"I beg to differ, sir," Reelin replied sarcastically.

They were ready to go diving, and soon they were all ready one by one, led by professionals.

This was Ian's second dive, the first being in the world before him.

Because he hasn't experienced this feeling since then, he personally craves it very much.

As far as Ian knows, people say that scuba diving opens up a world of possibilities, from facing fears, to learning new skills, to exploring places beyond imagination, and that's exactly what he remembers from the first time.

After a few minutes of preparation and the advice of professionals, they dive inside.

For Raelin, she had a lot on her mind.

"What if water gets into my mask and into my lungs?", "What

if I forget the gesture and signal the wrong signal to the coach?".

Confusingly, if she gives a thumbs down, being underwater means she can go further underwater, but on land, it means "oh hell no!".

It's not just for her, all beginners have a lot of other questions in their thought process.

The boat they were in made everyone less nervous because of the way the instructor talked to them.

"Take a deep breath! It's going to be the best experience of your life, so... Enjoy, we'll go down as soon as you're ready," he said.

She has always considered scuba diving to be a true adrenaline junkie activity.

But as soon as she stepped out of the water, she realized that it had much more in common with yoga and meditation than extreme sports.

"Oh fuck" she whispered to herself, and then dived inside with the others, her mind retracted by the feeling of it all.

They dived deeper into the water.

She feels that when diving, it is a completely different ball game because being immersed underwater is a sensory experience.

Everything she could feel, hear, and see became clear.

Her breathing became slow, purposeful, and rhythmic.

She suddenly realized how her movements were connected to each inhale.

It's hard to get distracted when nature is putting on a riveting show and she's on stage.

She felt like she was finally living in the present and not thinking about the future.

What she hadn't considered before was how human-centered our lives on land were, with everything seemingly revolving around the human experience, from highways to fast food.

But when she first entered the marine world as a diver, things were completely different.

Suddenly, she was an outsider. Visiting someone's home.

Walking into the depths, she saw that the small fish were swimming in the opposite direction to the direction she was going, and that was my first contact with the marine world.

Seeing the reef for the first time was a humiliating experience and she had to stay within her limits, but she suddenly encountered a deep-sea creature and she snapped the picture as quickly as she could.

Where she is, clownfish weave through sea anemones, while head-to-head parrotfish munch on their favorite corals.

Everything in the sea has its place and purpose. They don't have anything to take or touch.

Suddenly, they felt that their world was small, and she realized how terrible and precious our oceans were.

Taking out her camera, she took pictures of sea anemones and other creatures.

Even though she admires everything around her, marine life, communities, plants, and aquatic life, she prefers sharks.

This irrational fear of sharks accompanies her constant diving from where she is to another place.

"I just wish we hadn't seen sharks," she told her dive buddies before diving.

Suddenly, when she met for the first time, she was surprised by how she felt.

It was a moment of nervousness she had been in since she came in, but she was not afraid at all. Just peace and appreciation.

It was a lone blacktip reef shark that she watched with pleasure as it gracefully shuttled between corals, looking for a place to hide. It was the first time she had seen sharks in a whole new light.

Vulnerable, not threatening.

In a world where up to 100 million sharks are killed by humans every year, only animals are trying to survive.

When someone says that, it's easy to see who the real bad guys are.

Being underwater can present a variety of unexpected challenges, whether it's a submerged mask or a powerful current.

A stressful situation like this can easily lead to panic, especially if one is a novice diver.

But when they panic, their bodies go into a state of high alert.

The heart beats faster, the breathing quickens, and the logical thinking disappears.

Most importantly, her first scuba dive gave her a deeper understanding of the ocean and a renewed awareness of environmental management to protect it.

Now she understands why divers are so passionate about ocean and reef conservation.

They know what's at stake.

Coral reefs are wonderful places, and in addition to looking beautiful, they are also food and habitat for thousands of species of fish.

She understood it very clearly.

When things get tough, the ocean reinforces the value of staying calm.

It teaches everyone to stop, breathe, think, and act. It's also a great mantra on the water.

Life can be stressful, but even if the situation is beyond your comprehension, you can still be in control.

So take a deep breath.

Everyone comes out of the water, and they have different thoughts going in and out of their minds, just like Rainen experienced.

“...... Although initially, you are scared, once you go there and see your goal, what you came here to achieve, everything else seems irrelevant," the coach said.

For Ian and the others, it was a moment of fulfillment, "Once you have clearly set your goals and set them in front of you, the journey becomes more purposeful and enjoyable

" "Okay!" Ian said, drawing everyone's attention. "We'll go down again, so bring your camera..."

, he worked with the others to plan what he wanted for his next dive, and on set, Ian made rough visuals just to see what they could get out of it, with many team members having their own ideas.

With the giant camera in hand, they all went in again.

The fun dive is over, and Ian plans to take the last few shots with a high-end camera in the deepest part of the Mariana Trench with a diving tube when he returns.

In short, by the end of the day, everyone is happy.

------------------

[Europe-Switzerland]

this is their final destination. At this moment, the whole team is exhausted but ready to experience something different.

The members of the Sapphire Hotel are all in their hotel rooms, and Ian himself has booked a suite and is enjoying their little vacation.

In the evening, Ian and Lucas, along with many other people who wanted to enjoy the crowds, gathered at the bar downstairs of the hotel who didn't want to spend even a second of vacation alone.

"How's the room?, Nick must be a great company?" Ian asked as soon as he saw Lucas sitting alone at the bar.

Around them, there were a few more people from their squad, as well as some strangers, sitting at a distance, talking to each other and drinking.

"Nick is bearable," Lucas muttered.

"This project is going to be one of the best things we've done in a while.

He said with a sip of wine. Ian did the same.

"Well, this movie is nothing without VFX, and I have high hopes for this film. Are you married?" Ian questioned wanting to know Lucas better.

"Ah, yes, I am. Two children and a lovely wife. She's the reason I'm alive after doing that damn job.

"Has it always been like this?" Ian asked.

"Ever since they bought. Ah, stay. Even

talking about it made Lucas's mood drop a few degrees. Ian noticed, so he changed the subject.

"You should have brought your family here, I just hadn't noticed that before, we could easily arrange some space and it wouldn't be too big-

" "Hey everyone," Mason joined the conversation.

The rest of the night, they were discussing and talking about things in the industry, as well as things in their personal lives.

In the team, Murphy, who is Ian's assistant, did not accompany him, saying that he would rather go to see his family.

Also, since it was the last few days of the trip, more than half of them were tired but excited and were able to do something exciting even in the last few seconds.

------------

the next morning, almost everyone is ready to start their next adventure, paragliding.

It was an exciting experience that Ian personally wanted to enjoy, and when he first told everyone it would be next, more than half of them shouted "no!".

Among these people, Raelyn is one of them.

Stepping out of the bus, they came to the foot of a mountain.

Each person carried a bag with paragliding gear sponsored by Goofy.

Before paragliding, they must climb to the top of the hill where they are going to take off and then stay in the air for a few minutes – maybe hours.

That's the beauty of this adventure. But the current race is wind-blowing, in favor of flying.

"We're not ready for that!" Lucas said, looking up.

"Let's see who gets to the top first!" Ian said, soon walking.

He carried his bag, and the others heard his words and walked up in high spirits.

Not only them, but also strangers witnessed how this group of adults walked together, more than thirty people in all.

Some even realized it was Ian and waved at him, and Ian waved in response.

After 25 minutes, they were almost at the top.

"Damn!'s the most tiring thing I've done in a while!" Ian walked breathlessly, hugging his knees as he was crawling so fast.

"Ahh

"You're in good shape!" Ian commented.

"You too, sir. My only goal is to overtake you and get to the top first. But man, you're dying faster than my grandmother. I mean, we all thought she'd live a little longer,"

Ian said, his eyes strange, and he began to climb up. "Strange," he muttered along the way.

While hiking, Ian was able to see paragliders taking off from the top of the mountain.

Considering that they will be doing the same thing in a matter of minutes, it makes him both nervous and excited.

"Finally!" Ian said, stretching out his arms to feel the waves of air rushing in, and the whole area looked breathtaking, which soothed him. Ian sat on the grass and waited for the others to go up the mountain.

A few minutes after reaching the summit, everyone else came over panting, some already shaking hands and preparing to give up.

"Are all the people?!" Ian asked.

"Yes!" "Thirty-five!" "We're all here!"

After a while, the instructors appeared on the playground.

Since paragliding is an extreme sport fraught with risks, it also means that a person can be injured or killed, so they must sign a compensation form before proceeding.

This is the standard agreement to compensate everyone for any problems that may arise during the flight.

As Ian joked, "Here's your boarding pass!" When handed to Railin, she joked, "I got a one-way ticket!" The

hidden implication is that one can only glide from above, not from the bottom up!

Fabrice, who was a teammate, helped Ian fix his seatbelt and checked all the gear, and they were ready to go.

"Railin, I'll go find you," Ian said, noticing Railin's pale face.

"Hey, are you okay?" he asked at once seeing her fingers moving.

"yes, I'm fine. It's just fear of heights. What if I fucking die down there?" she said.

"Well, do you want to know my first experience?" Ian asked, and she nodded.

"I'm more scared than you are. I almost peed my pants, but... It's worth it. I really feel that after that experience, sometimes you just have to live in the moment and not think about the 'if'. He said.

She raised an eyebrow and walked over to the instructor, asking something. She came back smiling and muttered, "I think we can go together." He agreed, because I had to put on my puppy face," she shrugged, causing Ian to giggle.

Raelyn is a girl in her twenties. Her first project was lucky in the industry, and Goofy hired her because they knew they couldn't let someone as talented as her go.

She has a lot of experience in her field, and the time they spend together makes Ian and Raelyn friends—close friends.

"Let's go!" Ian said, preparing for them to take off.

"I can't believe I'm doing this shit, my heart is in my ears!" I swear——!" She couldn't finish the verdict of their takeoff.

Taking off was much easier than they thought. After a few steps down the gentle slope, it was... Hanging in the air

!"Oh my God! Oh my God! Look at that!" she said, looking around at the mountains, the trees, and the beautiful villages.

"You mean?!" Ian asked.

"My wish to die! I only wish that if I die today, someone can tell my grandmother that I love her so much! My brother and I didn't eat his cheeseburger when we were ten years old! And it's the best vacation I've ever had! Ahhhhhhhh

They are already in the air, driven by the wind, admiring the surrounding mountains and the villages at their feet.

It's a feeling they've never experienced before: excitement, fascination, and wonder intertwined.

The initial fear didn't last long, being swept away by a unique sense of freedom.

The weather conditions were ideal, so during the flight, Ian put Reelin in control.

How excited!she thought.

Looking down from above, surrounded by beautiful alpine scenery, both of them savored every moment of the gentle flow, enjoying the initial silence that they cherished.

It was a perfect time, and Ian hoped in his mind that it would last forever.

But it didn't last long, and it took a long time before we started to slowly descend.

The paragliding landing was thrilling, and during the briefing, the instructors explained that once on the ground, they only needed to run a few steps.

In fact, until the last moment, the flight was a gentle taxi.

As soon as they got close to the ground, they felt faster and faster.

As a result, Lei Lin only had a few seconds to turn pale with fright.

However, immediately after that, the speed decreased rapidly, and finally it landed smoothly.

The day is over.

After the first paragliding, Ian plans to send a drone to take helicopter photos of the surrounding area, which is the mission that the film is going to accomplish.

And just like that, their trip ended, but the memories were worth thousands of uneventful days.
