Chapter 60: Shooting Accidents
Before officially joining the crew, Angelina Jolie went to Cambodia as a United Nations charity ambassador, and she called Lin Mingyang to tell him that she had adopted a boy and named him Madox. Two emotional failures made her temporarily lose interest in marriage and instead devote more energy to her career.
The film "Agent Brothers" was launched in Italy, where Jane, played by Julie, successfully assassinated a mafia leader. In the play, she skillfully kills the target in the open-air opera house, and then arrogantly leaves in a helicopter with the cooperation of the external answering staff.
Then the crew moved to India, where John played by Lin Mingyang cleverly arranged a traffic accident by invading the center of the city's public transportation control network, burying an Indian oil tycoon.
Then the film's most challenging shot begins in the Mexican desert, where Jane and John, two spy siblings, receive the same assassination mission. John scouted the terrain and calculated the target's likely course of action, then added a sniper rifle between a pile of rocks and two giant cacti.
Jane and John chose the same location, but she approached the target in a more direct way, driving a tour bus directly into the target, but accidentally ran into a mine bought by John, Jane successfully escaped by jumping out of the car, but the target was also alarmed. John's originally confident shot allowed the guy to escape the scythe of death because of this unexpected accident.
John's sniper position is revealed, and the opponent uses a bazooka to blast the dirt slope directly, and John uses a sniper rifle to kill all the enemies who catch up, but the mission ultimately ends in failure.
The crew had a little accident when filming the set of shots of Jane jumping away from the burning bus, and the door of the bus was jammed. In order to meet the needs of the shooting, the back half of the bus was poured with gasoline, and the fire was ignited in advance due to the mistake of the special effects artist. By the time Angelina Jolie found herself unable to open the door, the fire had already begun to spread, with smoke billowing out of the bus's windows, and none of the staff with fire extinguishers were able to get close to the bus.
Lin Mingyang, who didn't have time to think about it, snatched a fire extinguisher from the hand of a staff member next to him and jumped directly from the back door of the bus, where the flames burned the most.
"Is he crazy?" Doug Liman kicked the camera next to him and covered his face in pain.
Lin Mingyang, who rushed into the bus, did not go crazy, the moment before jumping into the fire, he unscrewed the fire extinguisher, sprayed forward, and then the moment the fire extinguishing foam broke away the surrounding flames, he quickly crossed the fire. Then he saw Angelina Jolie in front of her, trapped in a corner by fire, panicked.
βfelixοΌβ Angelina Jolie suddenly felt like she cried with joy when she saw Lin Mingyang passing through the fire.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and began to spiral out of control.
"Let's go!" Lin Mingyang didn't give her more time to be moved, he picked up Julie and kicked the car door violently. Lin Mingyang didn't realize how much strength he used in this kick, and he only had one thought in his heart now, which was to take Angelina Jolie out safely.
There was a noticeable stinging pain in his legs, and the car door was twisted by an explosive impact, and then flew out with a "bang", and then Lin Mingyang jumped out of the empty door with Angelina Jolie in his arms.
The staff around hurriedly surrounded them, and it seemed that both of them were unharmed, and Angelina Jolie was a little emotionally unstable because she was overly frightened. She hugged Lin Mingyang tightly, and she didn't let go until the staff got a stretcher.
"It's all right!" Lin Mingyang whispered a few words of comfort to her, and then director Doug Liman called him aside.
"Thank God, are you sure you didn't get burned?"
"I haven't been in there for long, so there shouldn't be any problems." Except for a piece of his hair being burned off by the fire, Lin Mingyang felt as if he was really not injured.
"It's too dangerous just now, you and Julie may die at the same time!" Doug Liman said with trepidation.
Lin Mingyang nodded in understanding, he was just about to take a look at Julie's situation over there, but when he raised his foot, he felt a tingling pain, he frowned, it seems that his luck is not as good as he imagined, this time he may really be injured.

"The beauty is intact, but our hero is honorably admitted to the hospital, and anything that comes to you will really become extraordinary." Ex looked at the flower baskets piled up in the hospital room, and the various cards on the bedside table, and there was a hint of ridicule in his relaxed tone.
Julie stayed in Lin Mingyang's ward on the night he was taken to the hospital and never went out; When Meghan learned of this, she rushed back from New York overnight and stayed with him for a whole day; Kate also talked to him all afternoon, and then Keira Knightley came to see him twice. Watching the women in the ward change back and forth, Ex had to admire Lin Mingyang's incomparably strong womanhood.
"What are the results of the accident investigation?" Lin Mingyang looked at his right leg wrapped in plaster and thought that this was just a very slight bone crack, and he had to make it look like a fracture before he could be discharged from the hospital after a month. The thought of being bored here for so long made him feel depressed.
"The special effects team got the ignition time wrong, they misunderstood what the director meant, and then filled the back half of the bus with gasoline." Ex informed Lin Mingyang of the final accident results, and the relevant responsible person has been dismissed by the crew. This incident can be regarded as the bad luck of drinking cold water and stuffing his teeth for MGM, who is in the midst of the storm. Fortunately, the two leading actors, only Lin Mingyang received a little bit of injury, and the incident was still under control.
"What the hell is going on with that door?" Compared with the special effects artist's ignition error, Lin Mingyang felt that the stuck car door was the "main person in charge" of the accident.
"I want to know the answer to this question too!" Ex spread his hands at him helplessly, "The explanation given by the accident investigation team is that it is impossible to collect evidence!" β
"Why?" Lin Mingyang's face was full of confusion.
"You'll have to ask about your injured foot!" In this question, Ex himself wondered, "I really don't know what your bones are made of, you can break the car door with one kick, leave a footprint on it, and then the door connection is all deformed." Even if you can find out what the result is, you will be kicked by you! β
Lin Mingyang rubbed his head with some embarrassment, "Am I that powerful?" β
"The point is that your feet, it's just a slight bone crack, rest for a month, and then you can jump around like no one." Ex's eyes widened, "I'm curious, how did you do that?" β
"That kick just used some power skills, and it just so happened that my bones were a little harder than others, so that's it!" Lin Mingyang lightly exposed this matter.
"And what's going on with you and Angelina-Jolie?" Ex asked about something else, "I saw that she had a good time talking to your parents that day. β
"What's so strange about that?" Although Lin Mingyang has a "ghost" in his heart, his acting skills are not bad.
"Isn't that strange?" Ex wasn't easy to fool this time, "You've only known each other for less than a month, you just saved her life, can she look at you with such a fiery look?" β
"Is there one?" Lin Mingyang began to pretend to be stupid, "Why didn't I feel it!" β
"There must be a problem!" Ex was adamant about his judgment this time.
Lin Mingyang felt that the paparazzi outside the door were much cuter than the current Ackes. He was speechless and lying on the hospital bed, complaining secretly in his heart about how he got into such a "gossipy" agent.
"Congratulations, you've picked the most delicate rose in Hollywood!" Ex looked serious and wanted to shake hands with Lin Mingyang, but was refused.
"And then?"
"Then I'm going to despise all the men who love Julie, and despise you for your bad behavior of a calf gnawing old grass!"

Before the aftermath of the filming accident subsided, the scandal between Lin Mingyang and Angelina Jolie began to be enthusiastically hyped by the Hollywood media. The cause of the scandal was Angelina Jolie's frequent visits to Lin Mingyang's hospital, and the relationship between the two became the focus of attention.
Angelina Jolie is nine years older than Lin Mingyang, and because of this, the "sister-brother love" between the two has attracted more and more attention. In front of the media, Angelina Jolie flatly denied the relationship between herself and Lin Mingyang, and said that the two were just normal partners. As for often visiting each other in the hospital, it is just out of gratitude to Lin Mingyang.
Ex has already guessed the relationship between the two, but he will definitely not break it, Lin Mingyang has been refusing any interview on the grounds of recuperation, but Ex feels that such an "escape" cannot solve the problem very well, and in the case that the relationship between the two cannot be made public, it is best to leave the connection on the surface clear.
After secretly discussing with Angelina Jolie, Lin Mingyang finally took Ackes' suggestion, and then he held a small press conference in his hospital room to "explain" the matter.
"Felix, is there really the kind of relationship between you and Julie that people have guessed?" This group of reporters did not be polite to Lin Mingyang, and when they came up, they went straight to the point and asked extremely directly.
"If that's the case, do you think your current interview is still meaningful?" Lin Mingyang sneered.
"And what kind of relationship do you have?"
"Friends and partners!" Lin Mingyang's statement is the same as that of Julie, which was discussed by the two before.
"That's all?"
"Of course not!" Lin Mingyang deliberately whetted the appetite of the reporters, and then gave them an extremely disappointed answer: "It is likely that they will become good friends or more tacit partners in the future!" β
"Why would you risk your life to rush into a burning bus?" The frontal attack failed, and the reporters opted for a sideways and roundabout way of asking questions.
"Whoever was trapped in it at the time, I would do that, it's respect for life, it's not about emotions!" From the beginning, Lin Mingyang's answer was to perform, but this time he was telling the truth.
"Have you considered the risks of doing so?"
"By the time I've considered your so-called risk, the people inside have already been burned alive!"
Lin Mingyang's answer was watertight, and the reporters couldn't find any flaws in his words. But he still underestimated the ability of these reporters, and just when he thought that the other party had no questions to ask, a reporter suddenly asked.
"I heard that MGM didn't plan to shoot this script at first, and in the end you rewrote the script and then proposed to change the heroine?"
Lin Mingyang was a little surprised in his heart, because not many people knew about this matter. The other reporters around apparently didn't know the news, which made the reporter who asked the question look proud: "I also knew that MGM had a crush on Hilary Duff for the lead actress at first, but you refused to work with her and proposed that Angelina Jolie replace her!" β
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding reporters became excited, originally only involving Lin Mingyang and Angelina Jolie, but now there is another Hilary Duff, which is very lively.
Looking at the expressions on the faces of these entertainment reporters, Lin Mingyang sneered in his heart.
"I'll admit you may know something, but you obviously don't know enough!" Lin Mingyang used the method of wanting to capture the past: "I didn't plan to take over the script that MGM originally envisioned from the beginning, and your so-called replacement of the heroine is also ridiculous in my opinion!" These are simply two completely different films, why would you tie it together? β
"But MGM must have consulted you on the cast selection for this film!" The reporter added reluctantly, but this just exposed his weakness. In fact, he only learned about it through a vague third-party channel, and only knew a small part of the matter, and then pieced it together with his own feelings.
"It's true that I'm the screenwriter of this film, but even the heroine can be decided by me, and I want to know when I became so vocal?" Lin Mingyang's rhetorical question made him finally speechless.
