Turning the Tide

Lin Yuan's scene was the most impactful part of the entire film.

The rest of the plot was a standard affair, explaining how they escaped and touching upon the coexistence of humans and dinosaurs, fulfilling the film's value output.

At the end of the movie, the main characters safely left the dinosaur island by plane.

Then, the words "Welcome to the show" appeared on the screen, followed by the staff credits on a black background.

The movie had ended, but most people didn't leave, remaining seated in their chairs.

The few who had intended to leave sat back down when they saw this.

As the end credits finished, the screen lit up again.

"The post-credits scene is finally here," said the woman next to Lin Yuan.

"I'm dying of anticipation, let me see the behind-the-scenes footage," the man replied.

The movie screen began showing various interesting bloopers from the filming process.

For instance, Dr. Grant picked up a pile of Spinosaurus "poop" and smeared it on the face of the action director, Meng Tao.

Meng Tao calmly picked some off his face and put it in his mouth, saying, "I was just feeling hungry, need to replenish some energy."

Seemingly realizing this might make the audience uncomfortable, Director Johnston walked up to the camera with a smile and said, "It's made of dyed cereal, eating a bit also reduces food waste. Anyone else want some?"

"Ugh~"

"No way!"

"Director, if you're worried about waste, you eat it yourself!"

A large group of staff members scattered and ran away.

Director Johnston said with a wry smile, "Then I'll just have to send it off as feed, it'd be a shame to waste it otherwise."

Seeing this, the woman laughed, "The atmosphere on this set is great, it's quite fun."

The man nodded, "It is quite fun, but I still want to see Lin Yuan."

The woman rolled her eyes, "When I said I wanted to see Lin Yuan at the beginning, who was it that was so dismissive?"

"That's because I didn't know him before, but now I'm convinced!"

After several bloopers were shown, it was finally time for Lin Yuan's action scenes, clearly the director saved this highlight for last.

When the audience saw Lin Yuan leaping and running through the jungle without any safety equipment, they finally confirmed that the thrilling stunts in the movie were indeed real.

"He's truly an all-powerful superman, so formidable."

"Thankfully Lin Yuan was in it, otherwise I would never have given this movie a good review."

"Exactly, Lin Yuan saved this movie."

"Was that scene where he fell from the tree also filmed for real?" someone questioned.

"It must have been, it's a tribute to Jackie Chan's movie 'Project A', but Lin Yuan's was even more dangerous."

"No way? Is he that reckless?"

Before the discussion ended, the movie screen immediately showed the behind-the-scenes footage of Lin Yuan falling from the tree.

Cameras from three different angles captured the entire sequence, and they were all played one after another.

Thus, the audience saw Lin Yuan tumbling down from different angles, crashing heavily onto the ground.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

Each thudding impact felt like a massive boulder crashing into the audience's hearts.

They saw Lin Yuan's eyes bloodshot as he swayed, trying to stand up, and they also saw medical personnel rushing forward anxiously to rescue him.

On the screen, Lin Yuan's eyes were wide and red, his pained expression clearly visible.

Even more heartbreaking was his lack of clear consciousness; he was disoriented, seemingly unable to hear the staff speaking to him.

Witnessing this, the audience members couldn't help but feel a surge of worry: was he really okay?

Lin Yuan noticed that the man and woman beside him were even more tense.

The man clenched his fists, veins bulging on his hands, his breathing becoming rapid.

The woman beside him tightly held the man's hand, her slightly reddened eyes welling up with tears.

"I hope he's not seriously injured!"

"I still want to see his agile figure on the big screen."

Fortunately, the director didn't keep the audience in suspense for too long. The screen thoughtfully displayed a line of text:

Lin Yuan completed his performance excellently, and his health is fine. Everyone can rest assured.

Upon seeing this, everyone in the venue excitedly stood up and applauded enthusiastically, their applause roaring and echoing.

The audience cheered:

"This is amazing! I've decided to see it again just for this!"

"Who says Chinese people aren't suited to be lead actors? If Lin Yuan stars in an action movie, I'll definitely support it."

"I heard Lin Yuan has another movie that's also a hit right now, I think it's called The Fast and the Furious. There's also a thrilling action scene where he risked his life in that one!"

"Really? Then I'm going to buy a ticket to support him."

Seeing the audience's reaction, Lin Yuan was deeply moved. He hadn't expected everyone to care about him so much.

As an actor, the greatest sense of happiness comes from the audience's affection.

With the audience's approval, all the dangers and pain he endured during filming felt rewarded.

At this movie's premiere, Lin Yuan was completely relieved after observing everyone's feedback.

His biggest worry was the performance of Jurassic Park 3. In his past life, although the movie seemed to do well at the box office, it almost bankrupted the studio, making it a failure.

The entire Jurassic series was shelved for over a decade because of it.

Lin Yuan didn't know if his efforts could truly turn the tide and save the movie. However, his acting career was undeniably tied to its success.

If the movie failed, it would be very difficult for him to get another leading role.

Therefore, he had to succeed.

Strictly speaking, the Jurassic Park series didn't have a protagonist.

The human characters were merely there to connect the plot, acting as supporting roles to the dinosaurs, setting the stage.

But by the third movie, the dinosaurs, who were supposed to be the main draw, had lost their novelty.

The initial momentum had waned, and the third installment was bound to be even weaker.

Thus, a new selling point was needed.

With the dinosaurs no longer enough to attract audiences, Lin Yuan stepped up.

He propped up the film's declining appeal with his incredible action sequences.

He was, therefore, the undisputed protagonist of this movie and the key to its success or failure.

Judging by the audience's feedback today, Lin Yuan had undoubtedly succeeded.

He had captivated the entire audience, regardless of age or gender, overcoming racial prejudice to gain widespread popularity.

What surprised him even more was that many audience members were eager to see him in The Fast and the Furious as well.

This was the effect he had hoped for when he linked the two films in his promotional efforts.

It's stable now; the box office for both movies is secure.

With the word-of-mouth continuing to spread, Lin Yuan believed he was not far from completing his mission.
