This star is going to the moon

Chapter 212 Lu Yun's New Profession - Trainee Astronaut!

"what!!!"

"Why!"

Seeing Wang Yibo going crazy on the side, his manager comforted him, "Yibo, it's okay, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"You're only 22, you're still young, there's no rush."

22 years old is very young, but it is also a time when one is full of youthful vigor.

In particular, "The Untamed" boosted Wang Yibo's popularity and caused his Weibo followers to skyrocket, finally reaching 2000 million a few days ago.

So the company's marketing team came up with a marketing plan for him, which involved selecting 20 fans to give away 20 motorcycles.

This is a way of giving back to the fans for their support.

Even though they gave away 100 million, they want even more back.

If promoted properly, a large number of people will become aware of Wang Yibo's generosity towards his fans, and many of them may become new fans.

then……

Then we can continue harvesting the chives!
But now all of that has been ruined by Lu Yun.

After all, Lu Yun was giving away plane tickets for space tourism!
Although the ticket price for the Muyuan spacecraft has not yet been announced, there are similar space tourism ticket prices around the world.

As many have analyzed, the bulk of the cost of space tourism is still the ticket for manned spaceflight.

Once you're actually in space, the difference between a day and a week isn't that significant.

For example, the America Space Agency has announced that it will allow private individuals to travel to the International Space Station on manned spacecraft.

Leaving aside the "ticket" and such, the cost of staying on the International Space Station for one day is approximately $3.5.

This includes the cost of supplies such as food, air, and medical care in space.

Therefore, the space tourism ticket that Lu Yun gave away must have been worth at least tens of millions or hundreds of millions.

Compared to that, Wang Yibo's publicity stunt of "spending 100 million yuan to give away 20 motorcycles to fans" is child's play.

The agent knows Wang Yibo's personality. He is not highly educated and likes riding motorcycles. He is basically a "celebrity-level stuntman".

Therefore, the agent is very particular about the strategy of chatting with Wang Yibo.

"Yibo, don't think about that for now. I have some good news for you."

"Bona has a new project called 'The Nameless,' a suspenseful drama film that tells the story of underground workers risking their lives to send out intelligence after the outbreak of the full-scale War of Resistance against Japan, and defending their motherland with their lives and blood."

"This is a top-tier project with top-notch resources. I heard that everything will be top-notch. We're trying to get you the second male lead role. The latest information is that the character needs to be fluent in Japanese, so you'll need to start practicing..."

In fact, not only were Wang Yibo's various "fame-making plans" crushed by Lu Yun's "sending fans to the sky" event, but other celebrity hype activities aimed at "rushing to fame" at the end of the year were also affected.

At this moment, Lu Han found a moment of joy amidst his misery, because he had encountered something similar before.

That is, the time he sent a "satellite" to his fans, he only uploaded the fans' wish data into space, while Rowoon sent the fans' photos into space.

That time, he was the only one who got "targeted," but this time, all the celebrities who are currently being marketed are being "targeted," and he feels inexplicably good about it.

"Haha, you guys laughed at me before, now you've been crushed too! Serves you right!"

The netizens, however, found it even more interesting, using Rowoon as a springboard to launch attacks against other popular celebrities.

[I'd only ever heard of fans pooling money to vote for their idols in online polls, even buying tons of milk to throw away instead of drinking it. Now, some idols are actually giving their fans hundreds of millions of dollars!]

Hey, speak clearly. There have been celebrities who gave fans "hundreds of millions" before, but those were mostly for sleeping with fans, and some of those celebrities have even ended up in jail.

Indeed, Lu Yun is different. Don't compare him to those popular celebrities; he's on a completely different level.

[This is way too generous! If I get selected, can I ask for cash compensation?] [Cash compensation? People lining up to go to space would probably break your 206 bones into 412 more!]

Indeed, if I were selected, I would definitely go to space, because for ordinary people, that would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reach the stars.

It's a pity I can't fly a plane, otherwise I would definitely send out my resume.

I almost got into an aviation university, but sigh, that's a world for top students.

Lu Yun is the epitome of academic excellence. I wonder if he can fly a plane, since he once said he wanted to go to space in the Wooden Kite...

………………

"Haha, I really don't know how to fly a plane!"

As Lu Yun walked and chatted with Yang Liwei, he laughed when the topic of astronaut selection came up: "According to the normal procedure, when does our country select aerospace engineers or payload experts who are not from an astronaut background? That's probably when I'll have the opportunity to become an astronaut."

At this moment, Yang Liwei smiled mysteriously: "Xiao Lu, there's no need to wait any longer. Our country is already selecting the third batch of astronauts. Among these astronauts are pure scientists who are neither from the Air Force nor the military."

"At your current level, you are entitled to know this information in advance."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun smiled inwardly, but outwardly appeared even more delighted: "Really?"

"Of course, would you like to see their training?"

Yang Liwei said, "Afterwards, you and your company's commercial astronauts will train with them, but the training subjects won't be as numerous as theirs."

"Great!"

Lu Yun's intervention was indeed remarkable; it didn't take a whole day, and the Astronaut Training Center agreed after just one conversation.

Of course, this only means that the higher-ups have agreed to the cooperation; the specific details still need to be discussed.

But as long as the higher-ups agree, everything will be done very quickly afterward.

Just like when Lu Yun came to the astronaut training center this time, Yang Liwei took him directly to the astronaut training site.

Lu Yun did indeed see quite a few "familiar faces" at the scene.

For example, Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng from the first batch.

The second batch of crew members, Chen Dong, Liu Yang, and Cai Xuzhe, were also part of the Shenzhou-14 crew.

Then came the third batch of astronauts who were being selected, and Lu Yun spotted Gui Haichao at a glance.

Because he was the first astronaut in China to wear glasses.

He is also a doctoral supervisor at Beihang University.

In his previous life, when he was carrying out space missions, he was also responsible for his students' dissertations.

Seeing Lu Yun's eager expression, Yang Liwei smiled and asked, "Since you have to train later anyway, why don't you try it out first?"

"Is that okay?" Lu Yun asked.

"Of course, Sa Beining's variety show 'Challenge the Impossible' was filmed here before. At that time, he challenged the 4G manned centrifuge overgravity endurance training."

"Then I'll try this out too."

The reason Lu Yun chose this was that he wanted to see what level his physical fitness had reached.

"Come on, change into your training clothes and I'll take you there!"

Upon arriving at the centrifuge training room, Lu Yun asked while changing into his training suit, "Director Yang, so am I now considered a prospective astronaut?"

Yang Liwei laughed upon hearing this, "Haha, even though you didn't go through the selection process, you can still say that."
