Chapter 222 How to Play the Super Scientist in "The Three-Body Problem" Well? Lu Yun: Just Learn from Me. (Third Update, Please Vote)
Six years ago, Wang Yaping gave her first lecture in space, which was watched simultaneously by 8 schools and more than 6000 million students across the country!
Six years later, Wang Yaping gave her second lecture in space, which was watched simultaneously by more than 14 million students in 1 schools across the country!

Compared to the cramped space and blurry video of Tiangong-1 six years ago, the current Tiangong space station is spacious and bright, with video clarity reaching 1080P!

If you switch the camera to a handheld setting, the resolution can reach 4K!

The first lesson of the first class of "Tiangong Classroom" introduces the working and living scenes of the Tiangong space station.

The fact that each astronaut has their own independent "sphere view room" with a window shows the speed of the country's space technology development in recent years.

To be honest, Lu Yun, who was filming on set, watched the live stream in his spare time and was quite envious.

In his previous life, he experienced the ups and downs of the entertainment industry and devoted himself to teaching in rural areas for several years, but he still kept up with the world's aerospace developments and could not forget his dream of reaching for the stars.

Later, after being given a second chance at life for saving someone, and having gained a cheat ability, he definitely wanted to go to space to take a look.

The motherland's Tiangong space station will not only be used for temporary living, but also for further development and construction.

The Muyuan spacecraft, the space dock, and even more space facilities will need to be docked.

To create a heavenly palace that truly deserves the name "Heavenly Palace".

"Is this our country's Tiangong space station?"

"it's beautiful!"

Wang Chuanjun, who plays "Ding Yi" in the drama, walked over and said: "The character I play, 'Ding Yi,' will go to space many times later on, and even hit a 'water droplet' in space. Now I am curious about space."

"I wonder which TV series will feature a storyline about going to space, and I also wonder if I'll ever get to see real space before then?"

Lu Yun smiled upon hearing this: "Don't worry, there won't be any problem."

“A high-quality sci-fi drama like this can’t be filmed quickly, but the Muyuan spacecraft is about to make its maiden flight, and commercial space tourism won’t be too far away.”

"Moreover, compared to the more than $5000 million abroad, the ticket price for the Wooden Kite is quite cheap."

Wang Chuanjun then asked curiously, "How cheap is it?"

"Even if you directly convert the 'dollars' to 'yuan', it's still more than 5000 million yuan, which is incredibly cheap for the aerospace industry, but I still can't afford it."

Lu Yun still smiled and said, "Listen to me, you can definitely afford it. Just don't squander the money you've earned from filming these past two years."

Wang Chuanjun: Really?

Lu Yun smiled without saying a word.

Putting aside other aspects, Wang Chuanjun has a relatively high pursuit of acting skills.

In his previous life, his portrayal of "Ding Yi" was actually just average. He mainly captured the character's carefree and unrestrained nature, but failed to bring out the extraordinary wisdom of a top scientist and his unique perspective on things.

But we can't blame him, after all, Wang Chuanjun is not a super scientist with extraordinary wisdom.

In this life... Lu Yun is a super scientist with extraordinary wisdom!

Therefore, with the aim of achieving excellence in the TV series "The Three-Body Problem", Lu Yun approached Wang Chuanjun.

Wang Chuanjun was already troubled after writing a short biography for "Ding Yi". It was easy to play the free-spirited and unruly character, but how to play a scientist with extraordinary wisdom?
Until he saw Lu Yun walking towards him!
This is a super scientist!
Then the two of them awkwardly... oops, they hit it off immediately!
Meanwhile, Boeing's Starliner, which had not completed its first unmanned flight test mission, slowly landed on the Gobi Desert with its three huge drag chute deployed.

Soon after, engineers arrived at the scene by helicopter and vehicle to begin testing and recovering the "Starliner" spacecraft.

Smith, also wearing sunglasses, got out of the car. The wind from the Gobi Desert whipped up sand and dust that stung his face, indicating that he wasn't in a good mood. Clearly, the actual situation wasn't as rosy as he had described at the press conference.

In fact, Boeing's technical problems are minor issues; what truly affects Boeing is the federal government's "donkey-elephant" dispute.

With the current president facing impeachment proceedings, Boeing has to choose between the two sides, drawing significant resources from the company.

The real stage isn't in space; it's always been in the federal capital, in the White House, in Congress.

A few days later, the Three-Body Problem crew left Beijing and moved to Hengdian. Most of the subsequent filming locations were in Hengdian and several surrounding cities.

Of course, there's still some filming to be done in the snowy forest, but that's other people's scenes and has nothing to do with Lu Yun.

Hengdian is nice, and it's close to Shanghai, so Lu Yun can visit the Shanghai Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute (also known as the Eighth Academy) from time to time.

There is a part of the Long March 10 rocket technology project there, and Blue Star Aerospace's "Space Dock" is also a collaboration with it.

At the same time, at a naval port 200 kilometers southwest of Binhai Aerospace City, the country's second and first domestically built aircraft carrier was officially commissioned.

This was only two and a half years after it was launched in 2017.

At the same time, the U.S. House of Representatives passed two articles of impeachment against the blond businessman, formally accusing him of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, making him the third president in federal history to be impeached.

When Lu Yun saw the news, he already knew the course of history and sighed at the relentless march of time.

Those in the House of Representatives who were clapping wildly had no idea what they were about to unleash.

On December 20th, "Ip Man 4: The Finale" and "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" were released simultaneously in China.

For Chinese people, it is natural to prefer "Ip Man 4: The Finale".

In fact, as the "final chapter," it landed relatively smoothly, scoring around 7 points.

This is reflected in its box office performance. Coupled with the nostalgia of the previous installments and the "finale," Lu Yun remembers that it grossed nearly 12 billion yuan in its previous installment.

Comparatively speaking, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker didn't do so well. Even Douban, a Chinese movie review site that automatically gives foreign films two extra points, only gave it a score of six.

Foreign ratings like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic only gave it around five points.

The comments were equally blunt.

[This is the first time I've felt that a movie can be made like a video game: accepting missions, following the plot—bland and uninteresting.]

[They exploit the nostalgia that fans have built up from previous excellent Star Wars films, creating a poorly executed sequel.]

To put it nicely, it's a tribute; to put it bluntly, it's just a money-making scheme.

The phrase "money grabbing" sounds awful, but I really think they're treating the audience like韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting them).

Then Lu Yun remembered that... it seemed to have actually made money, harvesting a large number of investors.

Its box office seems to have exceeded $10 billion worldwide, with more than $5 million coming from the North American market alone.

There's no Star Wars atmosphere in China, so it only cost a little over 100 million RMB.

However, if we're talking about something that's really fitting for the occasion, it has to be the movie that was released on the last day of 2019 – Angel Has Fallen!
It tells the story of a conspiracy to assassinate the federal president.
