This star is going to the moon

Chapter 190 The “mastermind” behind the explosive growth of the aerospace industry is you, Lu Yun!
"Actually, I wanted to complain about it when I watched the first episode of The Wandering Earth, but we weren't that familiar with each other at the time, so I didn't have the nerve to say it."

Lu Yun grinned at Guo Fan and the others and said, "Weta Workshop sold you a set of powered exoskeleton movie props that have no practical use for 80. They are simply taking you for fools."

"If it's a purely imaginary prop that doesn't exist in reality, or is inconvenient to use, like weapons, then it's okay to spend a lot of money to make it as a movie prop."

"But powered exoskeletons actually exist. A truly functional one wouldn't cost $80. Besides, the one Weta Workshop gave you is rubbish. Not only did it not aid filming, it actually created a lot of obstacles."

Guo Fan: "..."

The reason why Director Guo was speechless was because this was indeed a process of paying tuition fees.

After all, his team had never made a science fiction film before, and "The Wandering Earth" had encountered many difficulties along the way.

Even if Lu Yun is involved, we can't ask Lu Yun about everything, right?

Lu Yun is also very busy.

For the same reason, "The Wandering Earth" cannot invite professional scientific experts for everything, so some things rely entirely on "film industry experience".

For example, prop making.

Weta Workshop is a well-regarded physical special effects studio in Hollywood. It has participated in the production of physical special effects for many science fiction films. Guo Fan was previously sent to Hollywood by the country for further studies and learned advanced film production techniques and theories.

Therefore, there is no problem in seeking cooperation with Weta Workshop based on its “advanced film industry experience”.

But the key point is that your Chinese film crew is not a Hollywood film crew.

Can it be the same?
Then, unsurprisingly, I was taught a lesson.

Fortunately, Guo Fan is already building the domestic film industry, the country also supports it, and there is Lu Yun's guidance. I believe that the representative work of the domestic film industry, "The Wandering Earth 2", will definitely be even more exciting.

After deciding when to go with Lu Yun to "see the world," Guo Fan pondered for a moment and asked, "Don't you already have a lot of work to do? Especially the country's super-mission manned lunar landing project. How do you still have time to get involved in powered exoskeletons?"

"It's because there are so many tasks that we need powered exoskeletons. We can even say that powered exoskeletons are part of the manned lunar landing project."

Lu Yun said somewhat helplessly, "Compared to the growth rate of aerospace talent in our country, the aerospace industry has experienced too much explosive growth in the past two years."

"Our country's space agencies have many national missions, so we need to maintain a certain number of space talent and cannot poach people at will. The commercial space companies that are springing up everywhere are in even greater need of talent. They are even poaching students from schools."

"This meant I couldn't find the right people to handle the project I was carrying, so I had to look for a powered exoskeleton so one person could do the work of three."

Guo Fan was speechless again after hearing this. Although he was a liberal arts student and didn't know many of the things Lu Yun mentioned, he still knew why the aerospace industry had developed explosively in the past two years.

The "mastermind" behind the explosive growth of the aerospace industry is you, Lu Yun!
A few days later, "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" was postponed again to October 26th due to audience demand because of its excellent box office and reputation, especially the fact that it was still in the top five in the daily box office two months after its release.

However, this should be the last postponement, because its box office has reached 59 billion, and the box office in the third month can only produce another 1 million at most.

Although 1 million may seem like a small amount, this is a box office that many movies cannot achieve in their first month of release. "Nezha" has been released for two months and is entering its third month.

Many viewers feel that "Nezha" teaches a lesson to the current domestic film industry, allowing many directors to learn something, which is beneficial to the development of the domestic film industry.

However, many viewers also said...it's hard to say. If some directors really learned something, they wouldn't need "Nezha" to teach them.

It would be better if those guys could cause more trouble.

Netizens have different opinions, but fortunately, the answer should be out within a few years. Let's see who will be proven wrong then.

At the same time, the second cabin of the Tiangong Space Station Phase I project, the Wentian Experimental Module, and the Long March 5 combination were transferred to the launch area. Officials said that they will be launched at an appropriate time at the end of the month.

As soon as the news came out, many people who wanted to watch the rocket launch took leave and prepared to go to the scene to witness the spectacular sight of the large rocket launch.

Also, because the first human space airport was announced a few days ago, the Binhai Cultural Tourism Agency concluded from various reservation information that the number of people coming this time must be more than in the past, so they immediately cleaned up and issued instructions around the space airport to cope with the possible arrival of tourists who "even want to see the construction site."

When the Rockets moved, Lu Yun also took Guo Fan and others to the National Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.

"In fact, the research progress of powered exoskeletons in various countries around the world is quite good."

"Although it's not yet enough for military use, some industries are trying to use it."

"Of course, this is actually a small-scale test, because the exoskeleton does have some minor problems and is not yet groundbreaking. So if we want to roll it out on a large scale, we'll have to wait a few more years, or encounter some special opportunity."

"But it's definitely fine for filming, especially since I've pushed the power exoskeleton technology forward..."

On the way to the Mechanical and Electrical Institute, Lu Yun gave Guo Fan and the others a brief introduction.

After Guo Fan and the others knew that this thing had only been tested on a small scale, they stopped worrying about it. After all, how could ordinary people know about things that happened on a small scale?

It’s not like a media marketing account is hyping things up and throwing information that’s hard to tell whether it’s true or false directly in their faces.

"Chief Engineer Lu, welcome to guide our work!"

"Director Guo, welcome, welcome..."

Lu Yun, Guo Fan, and the others were personally greeted by the head of the powered exoskeleton collaboration project. As they walked, he introduced them, "Chief Engineer Lu's 'Big Technology Integration Theory' is truly astonishing. We never imagined we'd overlooked so many related technologies before, and even discovered that many seemingly unrelated technologies can be used in powered exoskeletons."

"The performance of this optimized powered exoskeleton has been significantly improved, making it suitable for use in science fiction films. We strongly support the development of the country's cultural industry..."

In fact, Guo Fan and others had no idea about the various introductions made by the person in charge. After all, if they had an idea, they would not have been fooled in the first place. But when they saw the real thing, they immediately understood.

(Image from the internet, actually there are two exoskeletons, just treat them as one)
"This is the latest engineering powered exoskeleton. It's a bit sturdier and heavier than... ahem, the other type, but it's also more powerful."

"You can see that the operator's entire body is within its coverage, with robotic feet below and robotic hands above. They are directly connected to the robotic arms and legs, forming a very good mechanical load-bearing structure. The human body is not directly subjected to force, so heavier objects can be lifted."

"It can be simply understood as the user driving a miniature, close-fitting forklift or loader. Of course, its load-bearing efficiency is not as good as a real forklift, after all, the power pack is too small."

"Its advantage is that it can lift objects that require the combined strength of several people, and it can also perform flexible and delicate work..."

Guo Fan was stunned: "Zhang Fei mecha?"
