This star is going to the moon

Chapter 153 Marvel's "Eternals" and "Shang-Chi" casting arrives, space station docking
The guest stars of the eighth episode of the third season of "A Longing for Life" include not only Richie Jen and Zhang Bozhi.

There are also Chen Kaige’s son “Arthur” and He Landou.

Compared to the older Richie Jen and Zhang Bozhi, they are old friends of Mr. Huang and Mr. He. These two young people are simply here to promote their upcoming new movie.

Coincidentally, the movie they want to promote is called "The Best of Us", which is the movie version of the TV series "The Best of Us" in which Lu Yun starred.

Of course, the movie version does not include the original character "Lu Xinghe" played by Lu Yun.

So it was a bit awkward for the crew to ask them to try to gain popularity and interact.

In addition, although there is no evidence, there are no secrets in the circle. Anyway, the news that "Lu Yun used his influence to drive away Chen Kaige, the director of "Motherland"" has been spread with details.

Now let Director Chen’s good son “Arthur” find Rowan to interact and promote the new movie…ha!

But Arthur still came.

Make money, don’t be shabby!
Seeing He Landou trying hard to interact with Arthur, and Arthur's awkward response of playing a couple, and wanting to talk to him but not knowing how to start, Lu Yun couldn't hold back.

No wonder the movie version of "The Best of Us" has a bad reputation, and Arthur, who is supported by a big director, can never become popular. The reason is that he is not suitable to be an actor.

He is quite suitable for the entertainment industry because his scandalous bed photos with a married woman were suddenly exposed.

Even though it was only for a period of time, and the direction of popularity was not what he wanted...but you can tell me whether it was popular or not.

After the eighth episode, an old acquaintance came to the ninth episode. She was Sister Dandan, who did not participate in the recording of the third season in the previous life, but returned with her son in this life.

This is another example of Rowoon’s influence on the show.

It can be seen that Sister Dandan is still very concerned about her son's career, but at the end of this episode, Sister Dandan also talked about her stepdaughter Zhao Ting.

She said she has been in the United States for many years, and this time she finally came back, so she wanted to spend more time with them.

Then Teacher He immediately introduced Zhao Ting's identity, saying that he was a very good director of literary and artistic feature films and had won many awards.

Then Sister Dandan found Lu Yun privately and gave him Zhao Ting’s WeChat.

"Zhao Ting came back this time in a very secretive way, saying she was looking for actors, but she wouldn't reveal the subject matter. She kept it a secret from me, saying only that it was a superhero blockbuster."

"American superhero blockbusters are so popular right now. It's not easy for her to think of domestic actors when she has the opportunity to direct. But when looking for domestic actors, she must not choose those who are not good enough. If she messes up, it will be embarrassing and a waste of opportunity."

"She said she was looking for someone young, famous, and with good acting skills, and you were the first person I thought of. No one is more suitable than you. This is a great opportunity to go international..."

After Lu Yun heard what Sister Dandan said, the first thing he thought of was the terrible movie "Eternals" in the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

This thing is too weird, Lu Yun would never touch it, let alone go to the United States to shoot it.

The executives of Huayao Company are still detained in the University of California, Los Angeles. Isn’t Lu Yun walking into a trap by going to the United States to film?
As for what does “going international” mean?
He is about to "go to the stars", what level does "international" mean?
As a result, just after the ninth episode was finished and Lu Yun hadn't arrived at the airport yet, Liu Chun called.

"Rowan, haha, you're going to be an international superstar!"

"The domestic box office is booming. It has become the second largest box office market outside of North America. Some Hollywood blockbusters even make more money here than in North America. They must pay attention to us!"

"So, just as I said, there are two Hollywood blockbusters looking for you to play the leading role. The real leading role, not the small cameo role you played before, and it's two of them!"

"Guess what they're about? They're the big films of Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!"

"Hahaha, it's the hottest Avengers 4 universe right now..."

"stop!"

Lu Yun interrupted the excited Liu Chun and asked, "What are the names of the two films? Is there one called "Eternals"? "

"Huh?" Liu Chun was stunned. "Have they contacted you yet? There's indeed a movie called 'Eternals', and they want you to play an important male role in the main cast."

"There's another movie called Shang-Chi, and they've invited you to play the absolute male lead. They've also already found the villain, Liang Chaowei."

"..."

Lu Yun reached out and wiped his face.

That's amazing! The history is scary enough, but I didn't expect there's another one!
"Brother Liu!"

Hearing Lu Yun calling him "Brother" again, Liu Chun said proudly: "How is it, is it a surprise?"

There is surprise, but where does the joy come from?
"hehe."

"You probably haven't read the original comics and scripts. I suggest you look for the comics, and most importantly, ask the crew for the scripts."

Lu Yun said earnestly, "Old Liu, although you're terrible at choosing scripts, you should at least read the script before deciding on domestic dramas. You can't skimp on foreign ones either. Don't be dazzled by Hollywood, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or international superstars."

Liu Chun scratched his head.

Have I been scolded again?
But it doesn’t seem like an insult, what Lu Yun said does make sense.

Ro Yun is not an ordinary actor. The current situation is that the movie needs Ro Yun to open up a larger market, rather than Ro Yun needing the movie to enhance his status and fame.

So Liu Chun said, "That's right. Now the initiative is in our hands, so it's only right that we be stricter. Then I'll go ask them for the script first."

Lu Yun hung up the phone and shook his head.

The mentality of many Chinese people cannot be changed in a short period of time, and we can only leave it to time.

As for "Eternals" and "Shang-Chi", these two movies may have really wanted to make a fortune in China at the beginning, but given the disgusting state of their scripts, it was right not to introduce them to the country.

It not only helps domestic audiences save money, but also prevents domestic audiences from getting angry.

Why do many domestic audiences hold the view that “foreign films are all masterpieces”?

First, the Film Bureau has blocked many bad foreign films from entering the country.

Secondly, when audiences look for foreign movies to watch, they will definitely not look for bad movies. They just hear that "such and such movie is great" and then go find it directly.

It would be strange if this didn’t create the impression that “all foreign films are masterpieces”.

On the other hand, after several meetings and discussions, the Space Administration decided to conduct a docking test between Tiangong-2 and the Tianhe core module.

Tiangong-2 was designed to last for two years, but it has already been in orbit for nearly three years. Its platform and payload functions are still normal and its overall condition is good.

In addition, the first in-orbit propellant replenishment was carried out in the name of a test. Not only did the test complete, but the propellant was replenished. Therefore, the propellant is sufficient to continue to support its in-orbit flight for several years.

It would be a shame to let it lower its orbit as planned and then re-enter the atmosphere to burn up.

It just so happens that the core module of the Tiangong space station has also entered orbit. In the initial stage, it will have a single-cabin structure and will accommodate three astronauts.

However, the per capita space in a single-cabin structure is relatively small, so it is better to dock Tiangong-2 first and use it as a "small living room" before the other two cabins dock.

Moreover, Tiangong-2 is not just a "living room". It is equipped with many scientific and application equipment and can produce many experimental results.

The most important thing is that there is a plant incubator where you can grow vegetables in space!

"That's settled then. Arrange for Tiangong-2 to perform a trajectory change maneuver and dock with the Tianhe core module!"
