Conquering the Audience

The scene in the movie shifted to the city as Lin Yuan darted into the bushes.

The middle-aged couple who played Lin Yuan's adoptive parents formed a rescue team to save him, whose fate was unknown, and flew to Isla Sorna.

By this point, the movie had been playing for nearly ten minutes, and not a single dinosaur had been officially shown.

The slow-paced narrative of the original Jurassic Park 3's opening had drawn considerable criticism, leaving many with a poor first impression and leading to negative reviews after viewing.

With Lin Yuan's involvement this time, an action stunt sequence was added to the opening. His spectacular leap from the tree greatly diluted the opening's dullness.

The audience's reaction on-site corroborated Lin Yuan's thoughts. He noticed that the audience generally maintained their patience and continued watching the movie's story unfold.

Upon the rescue team's arrival at Isla Sorna to save Lin Yuan, they encountered what was theoretically the film's first thrilling plot segment.

The film's villain, the Spinosaurus, made its appearance, attacking the rescue team. It not only destroyed the plane they arrived in but also swallowed the satellite phone used to contact the outside world for rescue.

In this segment, the Spinosaurus's sharp teeth and the bloody slaughter were prominently displayed, which should have made the audience's hearts pound and adrenaline surge.

However, Lin Yuan observed that most of the audience merely found it somewhat interesting, without feeling particularly thrilled.

Lin Yuan could only sigh at the audience's feedback. It wasn't that Director Johnston hadn't done a good job; it was simply that after three installments in the Jurassic series, the audience had grown weary of the same aesthetic.

Given the current technological limitations, better visual effects couldn't be achieved, so it wasn't surprising that the audience wasn't buying in. The failure of Jurassic Park 3 in terms of reputation and box office in his previous life was understandable.

Although the audience's reaction was lukewarm, the couple next to Lin Yuan reacted with surprise.

As the Spinosaurus attacked, the woman let out a scream and tightly grabbed the man's hand.

The man was slightly taken aback, then smiled and squeezed her hand back, saying, "Don't be scared, this isn't real."

"It's so scary, look, my hands are sweating."

"It's okay, I'm here."

The man held her dry little hand, but not a drop of sweat could be seen.

I know you're not really scared.

You know that I know you're not really scared.

But who's going to call you out on it?

Anyone who acts like that is destined to be alone.

Using the movie's thrilling scene as a backdrop, the ambiguous couple completed their tentative exploration and confirmation of each other's feelings. This was also a significant benefit of suspense films.

Lin Yuan smiled as he looked at the couple, believing that no matter what happened to them later, whenever they recalled this relationship, they would remember Jurassic Park 3.

The movie held special significance for them.

The plot continued to advance. The rescue team members were chased by various dinosaurs, got separated, and fled for their lives.

Dr. Grant, a key character who appeared in multiple Jurassic Park films, was also alone at this moment, cornered by a pack of velociraptors.

Just as he was about to perish, several homemade smoke bombs were thrown from the bushes nearby, causing chaos among the velociraptors.

A figure darted out and pulled Dr. Grant along, sprinting away.

This figure was Lin Yuan, who had been stranded on the dinosaur island and had survived alone for eight weeks.

As they ran, they arrived at a pile of rocks. Lin Yuan shouted, "Stay put, wait for me."

He agilely leaped upwards, performing a series of dazzling parkour moves to reach the cave shelter at the top. He then threw down a rope, signaling Dr. Grant to grab it and climb up.

"Wow! That skill is incredible, even better than Jackie Chan at his peak," the white man exclaimed.

"See? I told you Lin Yuan would surprise you!" the woman said.

If it had been before, the man might have been jealous and refused to admit his admiration for Lin Yuan.

But now that he was successful in his romantic pursuit, his heart was naturally more open. Moreover, Lin Yuan's performance had truly won him over.

So, he nodded and said, "At first, watching the dinosaurs chase and the people constantly running was a bit boring. Now I'm actually looking forward to it. If the dinosaurs chased Lin Yuan, it would be spectacular."

"I saw the trailer on IMDb, and there's a scene like that planned. It won't disappoint you," the woman replied.

"Great, then I'm even more excited," the man said, nodding as he naturally put his arm around the woman's shoulders.

The woman leaned into him.

On the movie screen, Lin Yuan and Dr. Grant rested in the shelter for a while, exchanged information, and then set off again.

They were then reunited with the other members of the rescue team. Lin Yuan saw his adoptive parents.

Looking at his "excited" expression on the big screen during the reunion, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly: That acting was a bit awkward.

After all, he hadn't received professional acting training, and his performance was still too weak when it came to dramatic scenes.

It would be great if the system could give me an acting skill someday to compensate for this weakness.

Fortunately, the audience's attention wasn't focused on that, so Lin Yuan's awkward acting didn't draw much criticism.

After the group reunited in the movie, they continued to be chased by the Spinosaurus, velociraptors, and pterosaurs.

Although the movie tried its best to showcase the ferocity of the various dinosaurs, the hollow and uninteresting plot was a harsh reality.

When Lin Yuan joined the cast, most of the plot had already been filmed. He only shot some scenes that connected with his character, so he was powerless to fix this flaw.

Just as the audience was starting to doze off, the scene where Lin Yuan was chased by three velociraptors appeared.

"That amazing backflip followed by a rebound, is that even humanly possible?" the man beside her suddenly exclaimed, energized.

"This scene was in the trailer, I came specifically for it, and I didn't expect the actual movie to be even more spectacular than the preview!" The woman had seen the part where Lin Yuan performed four consecutive, incredibly long-distance diving rolls.

The man solemnly declared, "I announce that Lin Yuan is now my idol too... Oh my god!"

Before he could even finish speaking, he saw Lin Yuan fall from a tree about seventeen or eighteen meters high, snapping two branches before crashing heavily onto the ground.

"Was that filmed for real?"

"It must be real; the dust kicked up from the ground doesn't look like something special effects could achieve."

"This young man is as reckless as Jackie Chan, is he okay?"

Discussions erupted from the audience in the cinema.

"Please watch quietly, there are behind-the-scenes footage as an easter egg at the end," someone shouted, and the clamor gradually subsided.

"It's astonishing, I was literally sweating watching it," the woman next to Lin Yuan whispered.

The man nodded, and this time, their tightly clasped hands were genuinely slick with sweat.

At the same time, an idea dawned on them: just for these few action sequences featuring Lin Yuan, the ticket price was already worth it.
