Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: Road to Superstardom

The slight increase in the success rate confirmed Lin Yuan's long-held suspicion:

Action scenes of B-level and above must be thrilling beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Therefore, it was impossible to rely solely on attributes to complete action scenes of such difficulty.

After all, the system would not really turn him into a superman; otherwise, it was hard to say whether he could become an action superstar. It was certain that he would be captured by a major scientific research institution and used as a guinea pig for research.

Therefore, he must master more skills to truly increase his success rate.

Lin Yuan had finished filming all his scenes, and Zhang Ziyi helped him book a flight for tomorrow. Unlike the economy class ticket he bought when he came here, he would be flying first class on the return trip.

During the remaining time, Lin Yuan did not travel again, and Zhang Ziyi also helped prepare the gifts for his friends.

So he simply stayed in the crew and observed the filming work carefully, which was also a way to gain some experience.

Lin Yuan was fascinated by the crew members busying around and working with great enthusiasm.

Jackie Chan had just finished filming a scene and left the set, walking towards Lin Yuan.

"The filming is almost finished. Are you confident about Rush Hour 2?" Jackie Chan asked.

"I believe there will be no problem."

Lin Yuan's answer was firm, not only because he could predict the future, but also because he had observed the working conditions of the crew these days, which gave him great inspiration.

Jackie Chan was a little surprised and asked with a smile: "Oh? Are you so confident?"

"Although I don't know much about directing and filming, I know a little bit about how to observe the team. When I see how they work, I know there will be no problem."

"How do you say that?"

Although Jackie Chan was very confident in his movie, it did not prevent him from wanting to hear what Lin Yuan, who was a half-outsider, saw.

"I have also participated in the filming of other films. In my experience, the attitude of the team members often determines the success or failure of a film.

If most crew members work with the mentality of 'I want to get things done well,' the success rate of the film will increase greatly."

Jackie Chan nodded; he knew that Lin Yuan was right.

If everyone was willing to do a little more, a movie that originally scored 70 points would become 80 points.

On the contrary, a movie that originally scored 70 points ended up with only 60 points.

This positive and negative deviation was the key to victory.

Jackie Chan certainly understood this. Every time he shot a movie, he spared no expense to motivate his team.

It was to make them willing to treat the company's products as their own business from the bottom of their hearts.

"Although the interests of the team are tied together, no one is likely to be lazy.

But inevitably there will be some people who just slack off and fill in the gaps, so how can we tell if they are truly dedicated?"

Jackie Chan asked again with a smile. He found that Lin Yuan had better vision than he expected.

"Brother, you're testing me? Then let me share my opinion."

"The crew members' unconscious language and behavior often reveal their mentality."

"If your crew members always ask you: I have finished this work, can you take a look at it?"

"Then it's highly likely that he wasn't putting his heart into it. He was working with the mindset of completing a task. He had no idea whether his work was good or not. He just finished the work and came to see if you accepted it."

"If you say his work is OK, he'll hand it over and the matter will be settled. If you say it's not OK or there are still problems, he'll try harder to make you accept it."

"A truly dedicated person will first do their best within their capabilities, and then think about whether they can do better. They will often ask you: 'I think it's not quite right, can you help me think about it?'"

"The mindsets reflected by these two communication methods are completely different. Fortunately, Rush Hour 2 is the latter, so I am very confident," Lin Yuan concluded.

"You are really good at judging people! My team will indeed be outstanding; they are my most valuable assets." The smug look on Jackie Chan's face was beyond words.

This was a team he had built after spending more than 20 years of hard work.

The core of any film company should be the production staff. In the field of cultural products, people were always the first factor.

A film team with complete job positions, rich project experience, team members who had been through running-in, mutual recognition and familiarity with each other's work processes could not be obtained in the short term by just throwing money at it.

Jackie Chan was very fortunate to have such a team in his hands, which was the foundation for him to achieve all his grand goals.

But many high-ranking "elites" simply could not see the value of human beings.

There were always arrogant capitals and local bosses from different industries who put money first and thought that they could build a great team and then make a good movie with money.

It was very likely that the talented people hired with money would not get along well when they were gathered together, and the final result would be 1+1<1.

The team members had never experienced the process of getting used to each other, so they had difficulty collaborating, did not recognize each other, had poor cooperation, and had serious internal friction.

In the end, he had a good hand but lost miserably.

In fact, it was not only the film industry that was like this. The rules of games, animation, music... these cultural industries were also roughly similar.

If you failed to put people first and instead arrogantly threw resources at someone hoping to succeed, the result would often be a mess.

Lin Yuan could fully understand Jackie Chan's pride, and he also hoped that one day in the future he would also have such a team.

It takes three to be a hero. If one wanted to stay on the road to superstardom, it was impossible for him to do it alone.

Lin Yuan gained a lot from participating in the filming of "Rush Hour 2," not only playing an important role, but also earning a considerable amount of salary.

These days he had been thinking about how to go about becoming a superstar.

First of all, it's the team. Lin Yuan had been observing and learning how the Chan family class team operated.

After Jackie Chan saw through his thoughts, he directly stated that he would fully help Lin Yuan when he wanted to form a team in the future.

They could even directly assign some people to him as the starting backbone, clearly indicating that Meng Tao was one of the candidates.

Lin Yuan was very happy about Jackie Chan's kindness and expressed his gratitude again.

The second step on the road to superstardom was that Lin Yuan must establish his own unique style label.

When people thought of Bruce Lee, they would say that he was the embodiment of "Kung Fu".

When talking about Jackie Chan, everyone would immediately think of the life-threatening action scenes and the humorous and interesting fighting style in the furniture city.

If Lin Yuan only learned Jackie Chan's dangerous action scenes, then as a latecomer, it would be impossible for him to reach the same level as Jackie Chan.

Lin Yuan must implant a unique and distinctive cognitive label in the minds of the audience; only then could he become a true legendary action star.

So what was his path?

Lin Yuan's answer was: he wanted to be the bearer of the concept of "martial arts".

Any fighting technique or weapon skills should be mastered by him with ease and to perfection.

People all over the world thought of him first whenever they mentioned actual combat techniques.

For anyone else, it was an impossible task.

But for Lin Yuan who owned the system, it was very possible to achieve it.

So the question was, how could he make the system release more skills?
