Love and Ambition Lead to Success

"What? Nani? What? Mo?"

"This action scene, which requires a life-or-death performance, only has a 50% success rate..."

"The success rate is too low, this won't do."

With that, Lin Yuan opened his Attribute Panel.

[Name: Lin Yuan]
[Age: 18]
[Strength: 12]
[Agility: 13]
[Constitution: 12]
[Distributable Attributes: 1]

For any attribute, the median value for an adult male is 10.

Lin Yuan's physical condition surpassed that of ordinary people in all aspects; this was his capital as an action actor.

However, to complete today's thrilling car-jumping scene, his physical condition was still slightly insufficient.

The one remaining distributable attribute was a reward he received after filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

He hadn't used it until now, but he had to now.

This scene required nerve reaction speed and body coordination the most, both of which were strongly correlated with Agility. Therefore, Lin Yuan allocated the attribute point to Agility.

[Agility: 13 -> 14]

As his Agility increased, Lin Yuan immediately felt his body become more agile, and his reaction speed seemed to quicken.

[Danger Level of this Action Scene: D, Host Success Rate: 75%.]

It was effective. The system's estimated success rate had increased from 50% to 75%.

Although Lin Yuan wished for a 100% success rate if possible, life rarely comes without risks.

A 75% success rate was quite good. Lin Yuan felt he could take the gamble. If tragedy struck, it would be fate.

After completing his warm-up exercises, Lin Yuan walked to the sports car driven by Vin Diesel and opened the door to get in.

"I'll try my best to drive smoothly. Good luck," Vin Diesel said, wishing him well.

"Thanks."

Lin Yuan didn't say much more. Saying more at this moment would only raise the stakes higher.

You could call it superstition or blind faith, but it seemed to be the hidden law governing the world.

The car took Lin Yuan to the filming location. Everything was ready.

Director Cohen, holding a walkie-talkie, stood behind the camera, his face filled with deep worry.

"Director, are you really going to let that kid risk his life?" a tall, handsome blonde man asked as he approached.

Paul Walker, the male lead of "The Fast and the Furious."

If this were a later installment of the film series, you might consider Vin Diesel the primary male lead. But in the first two films, Paul was the undisputed main protagonist.

"Do you want him to succeed?" Director Cohen retorted.

The question was a bit pointed, but not surprising.

No normal person would want another character in their starring film to steal the audience's attention with a show-stopping scene.

As the male lead, it was perfectly normal for Paul not to want Lin Yuan to steal the spotlight.

"May my heart bear witness, I sincerely hope he stays safe and achieves great success," Paul replied earnestly.

"Haha, you guy. It's one thing to have a sunny and handsome appearance, but can't you be a little less dark inside? You're perfectly enviable," Director Cohen said.

"When it comes to good looks, Lin Yuan doesn't lose to me at all. I bet he'll be more popular with girls than I am. So, if something were to happen to him, it would be a real shame.

Director, can he really succeed?" Paul asked.

Director Cohen shook his head. "I hope he succeeds too, but it's too difficult. Even Jackie Chan at his peak would find this very dangerous."

"Jackie Chan is my idol. I want to see another Jackie Chan, so I hope Lin Yuan succeeds," Paul said.

"Perhaps today we will see a dream shattered, or witness the beginning of a legend. Who knows," Director Cohen replied.

"Director, can we start filming?" a staff member's voice came through the headset.

Seeing that no command had been given for a while, the ready staff member couldn't help but ask.

"Prepare," Director Cohen said, no longer hesitating.

"Action!"

"Snap!"

As the clapperboard struck, three sports cars shot forward like lightning, catching up to a truck that was also moving at high speed.

The truck's cargo was a batch of valuable electronic products, making it the target of the car thieves.

The skilled getaway drivers split into three groups. One sports car drove in front of the large truck, limiting the target's speed.

Another sports car from the right blocked the large truck between itself and the road's median barrier, completely restricting the target's lane.

The final sports car, personally driven by the getaway leader Vin Diesel, followed closely behind the large truck.

From three directions, the three sports cars locked down the moving large truck.

The driver of the large truck sensed something was wrong and began frantically honking, trying to drive off the three sports cars, but to no avail.

The sword had been drawn; it couldn't be sheathed without drawing blood.

Behind the large truck, Lin Yuan, the getaway member acting as the main attacker, calmly opened his sports car's sunroof and leaned out.

Whoosh... whoosh whoosh...

The strong wind rushing past made his hair roots ache, and his eyes involuntarily narrowed.

He tried his best to keep his eyes open naturally. For the sake of maintaining the mystery of the other getaway members' identities in this scene, they all wore helmets.

But Lin Yuan had a clear close-up shot of his face. This was out of respect for him personally performing dangerous stunts, allowing the audience to see clearly who was so amazing.

Humble in private, glorious in public.

Lin Yuan lowered his center of gravity, steadily crouched on the car roof, and then immediately leaped forward without hesitation!

He looked like a great bird taking flight, his movements graceful and fluid, as he pounced onto the truck's rear rack and firmly grasped it.

Stable, he was incredibly stable.

"That was a beautiful move, he made it!" Paul exclaimed excitedly from the sidelines.

"This kid is amazing, perhaps he'll truly become a legend," Director Cohen couldn't help but excitedly punch the air.

Under the gaze of the entire crew, Lin Yuan climbed all the way to the top along the truck's rear rack and then quickly crawled towards the front.

His movements were clean and sharp, giving off an aura of ultimate fluidity. Anyone watching this segment would undoubtedly applaud.

Only one last move remained. Lin Yuan needed to jump to the side of the driver's cabin and open the door to enter, thus completing the stunt.

But the moment he leaped, the unexpected happened.

"Thud!"

The speeding large truck seemed to run over something, causing the vehicle to shake violently and suddenly swerve sharply to the left.

Lin Yuan, who had already exerted force to leap, immediately lost his balance and tumbled headfirst towards the outside of the truck.

At such high speed, falling to the ground without protection, and likely landing headfirst...

"Oh my god!"

"What are we going to do?"

The hearts of the entire film crew seemed to be clutched in a fist, skipping several beats.

At this moment, Lin Yuan clearly realized something had gone wrong and he was in mortal danger. But he remained completely calm, without a trace of panic.

He had long trained himself to maintain extreme focus when performing action scenes.

Any fear, hesitation, or other negative emotions would only increase the danger. Learning to be as calm and rational as an AI was the most valuable quality for an action actor.

All of Lin Yuan's attention was focused on a handle on the outside of the truck's cargo box.

"I should be able to reach it!"

As Lin Yuan fell from the side of the truck, in that extremely short, lightning-fast window of opportunity, he stretched out his right hand and firmly grasped the handle.

An immense pulling force came from his right hand, causing a piercing pain.

But Lin Yuan gritted his teeth fiercely, using the momentum to swing forward powerfully, leaping directly to the side of the truck's driver's cabin and quickly opening the door to enter.

The entire crew was stunned by this scene. An accident had suddenly occurred, but before they could even gasp, the young man immediately resolved the crisis with a brilliant performance.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, the entire crew erupted into thunderous applause and cheers.

"Isn't that too incredible?"

"Not only did he turn a crisis into an opportunity, but his moves were so spectacular, how did he do it?"

"Lin, you're amazing!"

"This scene, when broadcast in the movie, will boost the box office by at least 30 million US dollars!"

Director Cohen was so shocked he couldn't speak, his mind filled with Lin Yuan's performance. It was only when Paul reminded him that he hurriedly shouted:

"Cut!"
