This star is going to the moon

Chapter 139 The Chief Director is replaced. Use your skills to do my work.

March.

The discussion at the end of February continued into the new month, and now it seems that everyone knows that China will also implement a manned lunar landing plan.

Except the official.

The official unified statement only mentioned the rocket, not the moon landing, which caused people to complain.

"Everyone knows it, but you are the only one who doesn't know it, right?"

"The key is that you've grown into a giant panda now, not just a newborn mouse. You're so big that you can't be stopped by hiding behind a bamboo tree."

"That's true. I've found that radicals in our country are mostly among the people, and the responsibility of those above us is to rein them in. Everything is prioritized for stable development. As for whether bamboo can hold them back... that's another matter."

"Alright, alright. The higher-ups have always been cautious. This isn't the first day we've known this."

"Not entirely. If the higher-ups were really focused on stability, how did Lu Yun, who was in his twenties, become the chief designer of the lunar landing rocket?"

"Yeah, seniority aside, the moon rocket is the most important part of the manned lunar landing project. It's too radical to just hand it over to a twenty-something with no experience."

"Uh... maybe letting Lu Yun be the chief architect is the safest option?"

"No way……"

In fact, just like the people can be crazy and radical, but the government must "seek progress while maintaining stability", many things follow certain rules.

If the authorities only shout slogans but do nothing when they should, or if the authorities themselves make a lot of abstractions, then trouble is not far away.

The same applies to the leaders of super projects. Either you find experienced old comrades, who may be slower but less likely to cause accidents.

Or you can hire people without being restricted by certain criteria and directly look for young people with particularly strong technical skills. That way there may be some minor problems along the way, but you can still get the job done quickly.

Obviously, Lu Yun, who is in his twenties, should belong to the latter.

Although he has never been in charge of such a mega project, everyone has to admit that he has such technical potential.

The successful "Wanhu" rocket is his solid confidence, and the planned "Wukite" and "Starship" prove his ambition.

These three types of space launch vehicles are unique in China. Currently, no domestic company or research institute can produce the former, and there is no manufacturing plan for the latter two.

This is also why the First and Eighth Institutes chose not to bid, but directly agreed to Lu Yun's plan and agreed that Lu Yun would be the chief designer. They were only responsible for assisting.

Because they really understand technology and know exactly what makes Lu Yun so great.

As for the "young people with connections coming here to gild themselves", that is even more impossible.

For such a mega project that has attracted attention from the whole country and even the whole world, those who have used backdoors to gain gilded patronage would not dare to be at the forefront.

Since you have the corresponding power, you really have to be responsible if anything goes wrong!

Those who gild themselves are hiding in the corners, looking for positions with less work and where they can take credit.

On the other side, Chen Kaige could no longer hide.

At the beginning, he was very satisfied with the outside reaction, which fully demonstrated his authority in the entertainment industry.

The only pity is that Lu Yun still hasn't shown up, and we can't see Lu Yun's reaction.

I wonder if he is controlled by his agent?

In fact, this is also a common way for the entertainment industry to deal with public opinion.

Just wait until the hype passes, people's memories are very short.

But before Chen Kaige could enjoy the life of being the chief director of a national mission, he found that some people looked at him with strange eyes.

But when he looked over, those people just shouted "Hello, Director" and hurried away.

Until Chen Kaige met Huang Jianxin: "Old Huang, why do I feel that the atmosphere in the preparatory group is not right?"

Then Lao Huang's expression became wrong.

He said with some embarrassment, "Old Chen, there's a little... problem." "My superiors told me to tell you that you might not be suitable to be the chief director of 'Motherland' anymore. They also told me to give you a message."

"This is what a leader said, 'Cultural workers must have culture.' Anyway... figure it out for yourself."

Chen Kaige: “?”

"No, what does this mean?"

Chen Kaige was a little anxious.

"I've been doing a good job and haven't made any mistakes. They even praised me in the previous meeting. How can they just tell me not to do it? Is this what the higher-ups mean?"

Hearing this, Huang Jianxin frowned a little: "Why, Lao Chen, you don't suspect that I have delivered the wrong message, right?"

"No, no," Chen Kaige said with a grim expression, "I just think it's too important not to hold a meeting to decide on such a big thing?"

Hearing this, Huang Jianxin pursed his lips and said, "Old Chen, actually, not holding a meeting is to save your face."

"Since it's already been decided, you should come up with a good excuse, like being sick or something."

"By the way, there's also the matter of your son starring in 'Daytime Meteor.' 'Motherland' is a tribute film after all, so your son's foreign nationality is... conspicuous."

"And he's not the kind of person who has particularly good acting skills or has any personal story, so... you know what I mean?"

"..."

What's there to not understand? Chen Kaige is not a moron.

Just kick them all out.

When he was the chief director, his son who had no acting skills could still be squeezed in to play the leading role. Now that he is gone, why did the crew keep a young actor with no acting skills?
"Can I ask why?"

Chen Kaige asked the last question.

Huang Jianxin said: "Although I don't know why that leader said that, I would like to add one more sentence for you, which is 'Directors can't stay in the entertainment industry forever, they should also pay more attention to current affairs.'"

After saying that, Huang Jianxin patted Chen Kaige on the shoulder and walked away.

Chen Kaige was fired, and there was no suitable chief director for the time being, so he, the producer who had been busy with the preparations, had to take on the role part-time.

At the same time, "Daytime Meteor" needs to find new actors and the script needs to be revised.

"Oh, every day is full of things. The filming will start in more than 20 days. Where can I find the right actors? How can I revise the script to make it suitable?"

"How about I ask Lu Yun's opinion?"

Huang Jianxin sighed and said, "It's not easy to complete a national mission. I feel so much pressure just making a movie. Lu Yun also has the national dream of landing on the moon on his shoulders. I wonder how much pressure he has on him?"

Lu Yun was not under much pressure. He even had time to watch the maiden flight of SpaceX's manned Dragon spacecraft, and even brought a group of experts to watch it together.

In his words, "The Long March 10 and the new generation of manned spacecraft are both recoverable, and the model is similar to that of the Falcon 9 and the manned Dragon spacecraft. We can take a look at this first."

"Let's use American technology to do our own thing!"

Everyone thought it was right. If SpaceX's manned Dragon's first flight was successful, then it would become "existing technology", and Lu Yun's theory of integrating existing technologies would come in handy.

Although it is American technology and Ma Yilong will not open source it, experts know the ins and outs of it. Lu Yun was able to incorporate many of the ins and outs into his own "technology integration theory" and then use it in the Long March 10 rocket project.

During the live broadcast, Ma Yilong confidently said: "Although the first flight launch is unmanned, I am confident in the manned dragon. The second launch this fall will be manned!"

"SpaceX will be the first private spaceflight company to join the 'manned spaceflight club,' and I look forward to everyone else catching up!"

Hearing this, everyone watching the live broadcast looked at Lu Yun.

Lu Yun folded his arms and nodded: "Good, very energetic!"

Everyone: "..."
