This star is going to the moon

Chapter 17 The Butterfly Effect and No More Confusion at Forty

"These beans are too old. Did you pick the silk when you picked the beans?" Huang Sanshi asked Sister Dandan after taking a bite of the half-cooked beans.

Sister Dandan said puzzledly: "I picked it."

"Why are there still strings after picking them?" Huang Sanshi showed her the beans while holding them. "I can't even bite them."

Sister Dandan didn't believe it, so she came over and picked up a bean from the pot and put it in her mouth: "Let me try it... Wow, these beans are really too old..."

At the recording site of the variety show "Longing", Lu Yun was peeling garlic while watching the famous scene from the first episode of the first season of "Longing" and fell into deep thought.

Originally, Lu Yun was thinking of doing something to offset this situation, so as to prevent them from getting food poisoning and vomiting bile after trying half-cooked beans.

However, thinking about what happened a few days ago, Lu Yun still held himself back and ignored it.

Anyway... no one was killed.

Also contributed to the famous scene.

The reason why Lu Yun hesitated was because he didn't wait for his senior classmate to come a few days ago, but instead learned that the aerospace company was developing smoothly.

This is a major departure from the historical trajectory of the previous life.

In fact, Lu Yun had thought about changing history a long time ago. After all, from the moment he was reborn, he was destined not to retrace the path of his previous life, so that would actually be changing history.

For example, choose "Wolf Warrior 2" and give up "Li Lei Han Meimei".

However, these changes only affected Lu Yun himself and the "small piece of history" around him.

But he didn't expect that Deep Blue Arrow Aerospace, a company with which he had no contact, had entered a new historical fork.

Logically speaking, if there is no contact at all, there shouldn't be any impact.

Is this really the "butterfly effect"?

Previously, Lu Yun was worried that because of his participation, "Wolf Warrior 2" would not be able to get the 56 billion box office of the previous life, but after seeing Wu Jing's spirit, he felt much more relieved.

There is also the future hit "Longing" which is currently being filmed. Because the budget for this season is indeed limited, Liu Chun was generous and only asked for two million when negotiating his salary.

But this time, Liu Xianhua was replaced by Lu Yun. Will it be as popular as the previous life after it is broadcast?

After all, his "personality" is different from Liu Xianhua's. He is not here to do stupid things, he wants to show his intelligence and talent.

When filming the pilot for episode 0.5, Lu Yun used a bicycle to move bricks right from the start. He also referred to the mechanical structure when stacking bricks on the rear support and transported a lot of bricks at one time.

Heat transfer, combustion, fluid mechanics and aerodynamics were also used when building the stove in the yard. The stove is indeed easy to use, and at least it avoids the flying smoke from choking the eyes.

According to Lu Yun's idea, as long as some dazzling noun special effects are added in the later stage, and then a screen full of calculation symbol special effects is created, the scene should be good.

And one of the reasons why "Longing" was so popular in the previous life was that the post-production special effects were very powerful, so there should be no problem.

But compared to when he just adapted to his rebirth and had absolute confidence, Lu Yun now always has a little more worry about whether "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Longing" will be popular in the future.

"Hey, young man, it's not time to pickle Laba garlic yet, so there's no need to pick so much garlic."

He Jiong walked over and patted Lu Yun on the shoulder, then turned off their microphones and asked, "What are you thinking about? I noticed you just now."

Hearing this, Lu Yun looked at the others who were busy, and thought that He Jiong was also a famous "life mentor", so he asked in a low voice:

"Teacher He, when a person is confused, should they resolutely choose a path and rush forward, or should they wait where they are?"

He Jiong smiled gently upon hearing this. He now knew more about Lu Yun, and also understood his confusion as an outsider, a college student who had just graduated two months ago and suddenly became popular in the entertainment industry.

After learning about it, he was also optimistic about Lu Yun's development, so he was willing to give some advice.

This is also the reason why he has been so popular and has a wide network of contacts over the years.

"My advice is never to leave this kind of route selection to others, you must do it yourself."

"In fact, your confusion is the same as that of many recent college graduates. What you learned in school is out of touch with the needs of society, so you are a little confused."

"Your problem is even bigger. After all, you jumped from aerospace to film and television entertainment. This isn't a disconnect, it's completely unrelated. So it's normal for you to feel a little overwhelmed."

"The key to this kind of problem isn't someone telling you how to choose, but rather your own lack of strength. When you don't know how to choose, you should learn and enrich yourself."

"When you're strong enough, you don't even have to choose between two paths. You can just open a new path..."

In fact, this problem is not complicated, but there are always times when people are "just because they are in the mountains" and need to use an external perspective to see the whole picture.

The greatest advantage of the reborn is knowing the future, but when the future becomes shrouded in mystery, the reborn is almost half-dead. However, rebirth still has a half-advantage: lost time is returned. Using this time to learn, change bad habits, and reshape oneself can always make you stronger than before.

Once you become strong, you don’t even need to make various choices, and many problems will be solved easily.

In fact, Lu Yun has a greater advantage. After all, when it comes to studying, who can be better than his golden finger of "learning can lead to progress"?
Take the entertainment industry for example. Once his acting skills are upgraded to level 5, even if the movie he starred in fails or the variety show he starred in is not popular, his acting skills will still be recognized, and he can make money by teaching stars acting skills.

After Mr. He pointed out the problem, Lu Yun suddenly understood everything. Otherwise, why did the ancients say "At forty, one is free from doubts"?

He Jiong, who is in his forties, and Wu Jing, who is about the same age, have both lived very clearly and can get to the heart of the matter when looking at problems.

Even though Lu Yun is a reborn person, when he made a bet with Liu Chun, he acted like a "prophet" and made Liu Chun run around in circles.

But Lu Yun was only 32 years old in his previous life. In later generations, many people of this age are actually no different from college students who have just graduated from school. They are just as clear-minded.

Lu Yun said that he had been a star for five years, and then experienced life by playing small roles for five years, but the small roles were not comparable to those played by the lowest-level extras. He had the resources introduced by Liu Chun and An Fangfei, as well as a large amount of savings accumulated during the first five years when he was a star.

So if you want to know how many setbacks Lu Yun had in his previous life... Actually, not really. He just couldn't accept that he had good abilities but had failed year after year and become a "box office poison"?

Many traffic stars with similar acting skills to him...

Uh, well, compared to those who went to jail, disappeared without a trace, or even died...

Lu Yun just flopped and was even nicknamed "box office poison", which seems... okay.

Lu Yun's mood instantly improved.

"Thank you, Teacher He. I feel much better now."

"That's good," He Jiong patted Lu Yun's shoulder. "Work hard, and when you have time, take Fangfei to our Happy Camp. She hasn't been on our show in two years. You haven't been there once either, right?"

"I just debuted, and I'm only playing a supporting role. The focus of the promotion for 'The Best' wasn't on me. 'To You' was a coincidence, but the promotion period has already passed. As for Sister Fei..."

Lu Yun peeled the last clove of garlic and threw it into the bowl and said, "We don't know when we'll work together next time. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to appear on Happy Camp together."

"It's not difficult, not difficult," He Jiong smiled mysteriously, then said awkwardly, "Our show is difficult."

"You know our show wasn't well-received when it was first launched, and we have limited funding, so it's hard to invite guests. Teacher Huang and I couldn't even get enough people from our friends circle. Could you please invite Fangfei to record an episode?"

"Fang Fei is very popular and rarely participates in reality shows. If she participates, she will become a hot topic. Before the show starts, you can take her to Happy Camp to make an appearance. It will serve as some publicity."

"You don't have to worry about betraying her. I guarantee that our show will be good. As for whether it will be a hit..."

He Jiong pretended to lower his head and smiled dangerously, then said in a deliberately sinister tone, "Lu Yun, you don't want your variety show debut to flop, do you?"

"..."

Lu Yun was speechless.

Teacher He, I didn't ask you to praise me forcibly, so you shouldn't use the "evil gardenia" expression on me, right?

"Okay, I'll try my best, but why do you always ask me to take Sister Fei with me, Mr. He? Our relationship..."

Before Lu Yun could finish, he was interrupted by He Jiong's gesture. He used two fingers to gesture at his eyes, and then pointed at Lu Yun's eyes in return: "My eyes are the ruler!"

"The relationship between you two must be something special. Pretending in front of me will have no effect."

"..."

Okay, Lu Yun did think about joining the game himself.

After the two finished chatting, they turned on the microphone to continue recording the show, and started eating after the meal was ready.

Facing the controversial stewed beans, Teacher He picked up one and said, "Let me try this bean..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Yun, who was sitting across from him, had already eaten one and exclaimed, "Who said these beans are old? These beans are so good!"

He Jiong: “?”

Lu Yun continued, "Just now, Teacher Huang and Sister Dandan tasted it, maybe because it wasn't cooked through yet."

"I just checked my phone. There's a rumor online that eating undercooked beans can be poisonous. I'm not sure if that's true, but you two only took one bite, so it should be fine..."

Huang Sanshi and Sister Dandan: "!!!"
