This star is going to the moon

Chapter 224 Traffic Star: We need to find a way to create a "Chicken You're Too Beautiful" meme to beat Lu Yun!
"We definitely made a mistake this year!"

The agent said, "We were really considering not including Rowoon on the various celebrity lists before, but we didn't expect 'The Wandering Earth' to become such a huge hit!"

The agent scratched his head when he talked about this, saying that all the domestic science fiction had died before, and it was such a super subject like "The Three-Body Problem".

That thing can die, but The Wandering Earth can survive.

Not only did it survive, it also generated a massive 65 billion in revenue, breaking a host of records.

Then came the third season of "Back to Field," where Rowoon announced that he would no longer be a regular cast member after filming this season, which immediately boosted the show's popularity to a new level.

Later, the TV series "You Are My Glory" became a huge hit, and the romance between An Fangfei and Lu Yun in the series was incredibly sweet.

At first, the audience thought it was acting, but it turned out it wasn't!

The news of the two announcing their relationship stayed on the trending topics list for several days.

I thought that was the end of it, but then Lu Yun casually dubbed a supporting character in the animated film "Ne Zha," and that animated film still managed to gross 60 billion yuan at the box office!
It also shocked those popular celebrities and their agents.

Wow, is money worthless these days?

But why are their movies such flops, even though they're celebrating with hundreds of millions in box office revenue?

Given Lu Yun's dominant position in the entertainment industry this year, would any celebrity ranking list be so foolish as not to rank him?

First place!

The biggest gap is in supply!

They also have something to say.

“We only said ‘intended’ before, but we didn’t actually make a decision.”

"Moreover, it was because Lu Yun's identity as a 'scientist' was too prominent, and his identity as a 'movie star' was overshadowed, that's why we had that kind of 'plan.' But this year, Lu Yun has become a huge star in the entertainment industry, and his identity as a 'movie star' is shining like a supernova explosion. We definitely have to include him as usual."

"But don't worry, things will be different next year!"

"We have confirmed from various sources that Lu Yun will mainly be active as a 'scientist' next year, and his only activity related to 'film and television star' will be as a guest on one episode of the fourth season of 'Back to Field'."

"I also heard that The Wandering Earth 2 will start filming, but the exposure and popularity of filming can't compare to that of the theatrical release, so it's not considered an achievement."

"Even if other film and television productions approach him and he accepts them, they're basically in the same filming stage as 'The Wandering Earth 2,' and it's impossible for them to be released or broadcast, so they won't count as achievements and won't be included..."

The agent confidently relayed this news to their artists or their top-tier boss.

Upon hearing this, and after using their wisdom to think about it, they realized that next year would indeed be different.

Popular celebrity: "Does he really have no entertainment activities next year?"

Agent: "There are basically none, only one guest appearance on 'Back to Field'!"

Having received a definite answer, the popular celebrity perked up and said, "Okay, let's try again next year!"

Agent: "Next year will definitely be fine. There's no ceiling above you anymore. Your competitors will be the other three top stars."

"However, a few new traffic sources have emerged this year, and we need to be careful that they don't take advantage of the situation by buying traffic."

"Especially that guy named Cai Xukun. Although he doesn't have many works, he has a lot of traffic because he himself has become a meme. He is the popular meme 'Chicken You Are So Beautiful,' and there are too many people on the Internet who use this meme."

"We also need to figure out a way to create a popular meme..."

If Lu Yun knew what they were thinking, he would definitely laugh at them for overestimating their abilities.

One reason is that they are laughing at them for underestimating their current influence.

When Lu Yun was weak, he had to adapt to various circles, but once he became strong enough, it was the circles that had to adapt to him.

Of course, he's definitely not that strong yet, but he's already good enough for the entertainment industry.

Especially in terms of the popularity that some media outlets and ranking lists need.

However, some celebrities with illiterate levels of education simply don't understand. Their agents are also in a difficult position.

Many people spend their entire lives in the entertainment industry, or have always studied things within the entertainment industry, and their minds are completely disconnected from the outside world.

Another reason is to laugh at them for not understanding the power of "You're so beautiful, chicken".

Creating popular memes isn't easy, especially memes that can stay popular for many years.

Even after the person in question runs into trouble, the meme can still stay popular.

Even though Lu Yun is so popular now, he still doesn't have this kind of meme.

Of course, perhaps there is, but he doesn't know.

After he started getting busy with aerospace matters, he stopped letting Liu Chun take on any more projects, and as a result, fewer people were looking for him.

They became even fewer after taking on the mission of launching a manned lunar rocket.

As a result of his immense popularity in the entertainment industry this year, many people have started to get restless again, thinking that they are important enough or sincere enough, and have begun to seek him out again.

Because everyone has also noticed Lu Yun's problem.

Before, everyone thought he would be very busy, especially since he had taken on the national manned lunar landing rocket development mission, which would surely keep him extremely busy.

There may even be various national restrictions.

For example, like in the movie "My People, My Country," someone participates in a top-secret research mission on the atomic bomb and disappears for many years, unable to recognize their family members when they meet them on the street.

There was really no other way back then, but that would definitely not be the case now. In fact, Lu Yun is not researching atomic bombs, but manned lunar rockets.

However, since the country does not publicly acknowledge that the Long March 10 rocket is used to carry out manned lunar landing missions, nor has it initiated a manned lunar landing project, there must be other confidentiality considerations.

Following this logic, Lu Yun must have some kind of restriction.

That's not the case at all!

Lu Yun is very free!

They not only have personal freedom, but also freedom of time.

Participating in the country's manned lunar landing mission and leading the research and development of his own company's new manned spacecraft, he still has time to film movies. How free he must be!

What's most impressive is that they created so many hit products, achieving unprecedented success in China and breaking so many records.

Now that there is time and the product has become a huge hit, the previous situation of being "very busy" and "limited" no longer exists.

Moreover, everyone had been holding back for a year, which was quite frustrating, so this wave of offers wasn't just about casting him in movies; there were all sorts of events coming up.

All sorts of advertisements, endorsements, and commercial performances came.

They are all top-tier celebrities, the kind that other stars need to actively contact and strive for.

So the first day of 2020, New Year's Day, was cloudy.

Lu Yun is currently filming on the set of "The Three-Body Problem," and An Fangfei has come to visit him.

They have now moved from Hengdian to Ningbo, a nearby city, for filming. The Asian Defense Council Operations Center, where Wang Miao and Shi Qiang participate in the drama, was filmed at the Ningbo Museum.

An Fangfei bought hot milk tea for everyone present, warming everyone's hearts and hands.

The director announced a 30-minute break.

"Thank you, Sister Fei!"

"Oh, thank you too, director."

An Fangfei, holding up Huayao's latest foldable phone, which won't be released until February, said to Lu Yun, "They plan to hire the two of us as spokespeople for Huayao's foldable phones..."
