This star is going to the moon

Chapter 226 Rebirth, but the future is once again unknown.

【Physical Performance Level 4 (9999/10000)】

In the bathroom of the hotel's presidential suite, Lu Yun was taking a shower and looking at his physical performance skill, which was only 1 point away from advancing to level 5, and he was filled with emotion.

If he had such acting skills in his previous life, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable situation.

The company could even spend money to buy him traffic and marketing to give him the reputation of a "top actor with great acting skills".

This immediately sets them apart from other top-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry, such as "top singers and dancers," "top rappers," and "top variety show personalities."

Even if it flops due to script issues, at least the acting won't be criticized.

Once the films and TV series he's involved in flop, he won't have to take the blame anymore.

Why do some directors like to use popular young male celebrities?
Theoretically, this is because they have a large fan base, so their box office performance is guaranteed at least, and even if they flop, it won't be a huge flop.

Just like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great Hero" which was released during the Spring Festival of 2005.

After the movie started pre-sales, fans of the lead actors began to boost pre-sales, which directly reached more than 3 million yuan, making it the pre-sale champion of the Spring Festival film that year.

Then... the fans' dissatisfaction erupted.

[Is it reasonable that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" had the highest pre-sale box office but the fewest screenings?]

[Exactly, the fact that it's the top-selling film in pre-sales already proves its box office success. A large audience wants to see it, so why not give it more screenings?]

[Sigh, it's probably because Xiao Zhan played the lead role that he was suppressed by rivals and capital.]

[Xiao Zhan's commercial value is immense, as evidenced by the pre-sales of this movie. Therefore, it's clear that his rivals are afraid and have joined forces with capital to suppress him!]

[Alas, the Chinese film market is finished...]

It turns out that the fans of some top celebrities can indeed guarantee a minimum, because the pre-sale box office of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was more than 3 million yuan, while the final box office was more than 6 million yuan.

Without the massive boosting from fans and online traffic, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" would have flopped even more.

Of course, most movies that use popular young male celebrities don't have such good box office results. Their fan base is superficial and can't provide hundreds of millions of dollars in box office revenue.

Meanwhile, those movies also received very poor ratings, making them a double flop.

However, this is where another advantage of casting popular young idols as leads comes into play: their fans will launch attacks everywhere, blaming their idols for the film's failure.

Even if that's not their real goal, the effect is basically "we'll help you even if you're against the whole world."

It's like "making sarcastic remarks".

So the blame for the movie's failure is placed on the popular young idols, while the director and others remain completely hidden.

This is another reason why some directors like to use popular young male celebrities.

In his previous life, Lu Yun might have ended up as a veteran actor or an old artist.

But in this life, it's different. He has a skill that reached level 5 earlier than acting.

Therefore, acting is just a side job for Lu Yun in this life. He doesn't want certain people to ruin domestic films and television dramas, and he wants to maintain the competitiveness of the domestic cultural field.

We don't want to end up with domestic "technological victories," "military victories," and "economic victories," only to have others achieve "cultural victories."

Even if someone else manages to achieve a "cultural victory," the domestic situation won't be too dire.

Of course, judging from the experience of the previous life, the foreigners' so-called "cultural awakening" and "political correctness" almost ruined their own path to "cultural victory".

It's really hard to say what kind of "victory" they'll achieve in the future.

Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Lu Yun wiped the water off his clothes and began practicing his micro-expression acting in front of the mirror, rehearsing the scene he would be filming tomorrow. He quickly gained the 1 experience point he needed to level up.

【Physical Performance +1】

【Physical Performance Level 4 (10000/10000)】

[Advanced conditions are met, advance! ]

【Physical Performance Level 5 (0/100000)】

Lu Yun calmly watched the symbols flashing past his eyes, just like a seasoned driver.

After all, he already had experience leveling up to level 4 several times and level 5 once, and he knew that the higher the level, the stronger the physical fitness required. So, with his abundant experience and the support of level 4 "physique", he was very stable. The fact was pretty much as Lu Yun had estimated. This time, the level 5 upgrade of [Physical Performance] was not as strenuous as the level 5 upgrade of [Aerospace Engineering], and the heat throughout his body was not as intense. He just felt warm, like soaking in a hot spring.

Another sensation is a tingling or numb feeling all over the body, with a slightly stronger tingling sensation in the joints and muscle nodes.

Lu Yun noticed that his face in the mirror was twitching slightly; with just a slight thought, he could easily make the expression he wanted.

Take a smile, for example.

Some people want to create that natural, sweet smile, but no matter what they do, they can't manage it; their smiles always look stiff.

There are even uglier ones, where a smile looks like a cry.

Some people try to smile with a beautiful, curved mouth shape, but end up with a square mouth.

Lu Yun can now make the smile he wants precisely, and it looks very natural, not a fake smile that he has practiced on purpose.

"magic!"

Lu Yun made various expressions on his face: "This is probably what it means to have amazing acting skills that can bring a character to life."

Lu Yun increasingly felt that the ranking system of cheat codes resembled that of a certain anime, namely the Railgun "Railgun" from Academy City.

The only difference is that the animated version is based on combat power, while Lu Yun's version is based on other skills.

Level 3 is a level that is usable and convenient in daily life.

In Academy City, level 4 refers to the degree to which tactical value is demonstrated in the military.

In Lu Yun's case, that would mean he's an industry elite, someone who can win awards.

In Academy City, only 7 people are at the level 5 and can fight an army alone, but there are many others who could potentially become level 5.

Lu Yun's level 5 is easy to understand; it's Qian Lao, who was certified by the enemy as "one man who can take on five infantry divisions."

Of course, there are also differences between level 5.

As for the absolute power user at level 6, that is "one who listens to the will of the gods with a non-god's body," and no one has reached that level yet.

Lu Yuan's current [Aerospace Engineering] skill is progressing towards level 6.

Seeing that he had reached one-fifth of the experience points, he was full of confidence!
After tidying up, Lu Yun and An Fangfei went out for a date and dinner. After dinner, they leisurely strolled hand in hand along the pedestrian street.

January weather in Ningbo is also very cold, so many people catch colds. As a result, Lu Yun and An Fangfei can wear masks to go shopping without feeling strange, unlike wearing masks to go shopping in the summer.

Of course, wearing a mask can only cover half of the face, but it can't hide their outstanding temperament. Many people can tell they are a handsome man and a beautiful woman just by looking at their outlines, so some people will take a second look.

Fortunately, there aren't any particularly sharp-eyed "ten-year veteran fans" yet.

Lu Yun looked at the bustling crowd on the pedestrian street in a daze, because in his previous life, the whole world was dominated by the terror of the pandemic, and there could not possibly be so many people on the street.

Since the beginning of last winter, Lu Yun has directed the company to stockpile a lot of medical supplies under the guise of "preventing the outbreak of winter flu" and "preparing to donate to underdeveloped medical areas".

As a result, after he was prepared, the raging pandemic from his previous life did not come!

Lu Yun was somewhat flustered at the time. After all, changes in other aspects of the world line were understandable, especially in the aerospace and film industries, which were most affected by his rebirth.

It's even understandable that the butterfly effect can spread to other industries and cause changes.

Because those things are somewhat related, they can be calculated.

Just like some of the rebirth-themed online novels that Lu Yun reads, many of the protagonists' sense of security comes from this.

But shouldn't a pandemic be considered a "natural force"? How could it possibly change?
Not only does Lu Yun know about the "butterfly effect," but he also knows about "historical inertia" and "world line convergence," which are important topics studied by many scientists and are also used in many science fiction films.

If these theories are true, then when and in what form will this vanished pandemic re-emerge?

This "unknown future," which is beyond the calculations and predictions of the reborn, made Lu Yun somewhat worried.

"what happened to you?"

An Fangfei turned her little face and asked him with concern.
