This star is going to the moon

Chapter 24: Yearning begins

Originally, Guo Fan and others were quite confident about the box office of "The Wandering Earth", but after the incident of "The Three-Body Problem", which was responsible for opening the door to domestic science fiction, their confidence was not so strong.

Fortunately, Lu Yun is confident. "Wolf Warrior 2" only started asking for box office share after it earned 8 million yuan, while "The Wandering Earth" started asking for it directly after it earned 10 billion yuan.

However, Lu Yun plays the leading male role in "The Wandering Earth", so his starting point is higher than that of "Wolf Warrior 2", which is 10% after 0.5 billion, 20% after 1 billion, and so on.

What Liu Chun said before was right. An agent like him does have a lot to worry about, because his job is to negotiate box office revenue share with an "insatiable" image.

But Lu Yun can't just focus on acting, he has a lot of things to worry about.

In the previous life, the leading male character of "The Wandering Earth" was too unknown, so the main focus of publicity was on Wu Jing. His promotional portrait was given a large size, and the leading male character made remarks like "I am obviously the leading male character, but the nostrils in the promotional portrait are only as big as Wu Jing's."

In addition to various problems, "The Wandering Earth" initially had a small share of theater screenings. Later, when it showed signs of a comeback, its share of theater screenings increased, and even under such circumstances, it still earned a box office of 46 billion yuan.

Lu Yun felt that if he worked hard in the past two years, he might be able to get the box office to more than 50 billion in this life, then he could get 2.5% of the box office share, which is more than million directly!
Guo Fan also felt that he had made a good deal. He had been given the leading male role, and he was quite famous and had appeal. His acting skills were unexpectedly good. He felt as if he had taken a reassurance pill.

And with the addition of Lu Yun as the male lead, it becomes easier to negotiate other roles, such as the female lead.

"...I found a young girl who I think is quite suitable. She is not very famous, but she has played supporting roles in several film and television dramas, so she has some acting experience."

"The only problem is that she has six months left before the high school entrance exam, and her mother is worried that filming will affect her studies."

Guo Fan frowned when he heard this, but then he was delighted: "This is not a big deal. We can help her with her studies on the set. Our leading man is a top student in aeronautics and astronautics, so tutoring a junior high school student is no problem at all."

"It just so happens that they are playing brother and sister in a play, so we can cultivate their brother-sister relationship while taking extra classes!"

The person in charge of finding actors was also delighted when he heard this: "Hey, what you said really makes sense!"

Guo Fan was also very happy. Signing Lu Yun was a right move. His appearance was comparable to the breakthrough of zero in the Olympic gold medal.

In such joy, time moved forward to the New Year's Day of 2017.

Lu Yun went back home on New Year's Day. His family lived in a resettlement house and also had a shop on the ground floor, so they simply opened a hardware store.

Mom is in charge of running the store, while Dad is responsible for purchasing goods, taking on jobs, and performing on-site installation and repairs.

Although Rowoon became a star, his family didn't make a fuss about it. Plus, stars have to wear makeup and style their hair when they appear on camera, which is quite different from his usual casual state. He is not a well-known celebrity, so no one around his home knows him.

After resting at home for two days, I continued to work and filmed the last two episodes of "Longing".

After filming these two episodes, I will go to "Happy Camp" with An Fangfei as a guest and promote "Longing" at the same time.

Let’s not talk about how surprised Rowoon’s fans were. After all, "Happy Camp" is very famous, and newcomers can increase their fame a lot by showing their faces there.

An Fangfei's fans were also quite surprised.

Although her fans all know her habit of "fishing for a year and drying the nets for two years", fans naturally hope to see more news about their favorite stars.

I thought An Fangfei's career ambition had finally picked up after she filmed three dramas in a row last year, but I soon saw the news that she was going to take a break again.

I didn’t expect such good news to come suddenly, first on “Happy Camp” and then on “Longing”.

The trailer for "Longing" has been released, and it looks like a very casual variety show~

[This is quite suitable for Fairy Sister. She is not suitable for those kinds of competitive variety shows. That would be too difficult for her.]

[Feifei is a beautiful sight just sitting quietly reading a book!]

[In the trailer, Feifei and Lu Yun actually interacted. Did you notice the top right corner at the 37-second mark? They were actually whispering in the corner!]

[Hey, sister, are you Leeuwenhoek? You can even figure this out!]

[I really want to hear what they are talking about. Will the full film be released? ]

[I always feel like they have a very close relationship. Is it my imagination?] [Maybe it's the aftereffects of the hero saving the damsel in distress. Feifei and Lu Yun may have become good friends.]

[Don't say anything nonsense, or those CP fans will go crazy again.]

[What do you mean by crazy? They are also fans of Rowoon and Feifei.]

[Hmm? You're just weird. You actually helped...]

In addition to fans of Lu Yun and An Fangfei who are paying attention to "Longing", fans of some other people are also paying attention, such as fans who had previously caused trouble due to the chart issue.

In addition to those who were dissatisfied that their brothers were not on the list, the fans signed by Wu Fan were also waiting to cause trouble.

Everyone, please pay attention to the "Longing" pilot episode airing tonight. After watching it, go to the square and the relevant places to criticize it. The focus is to criticize Lu Yun, and avoid affecting teachers Huang and He.

[Got it, watch me blast Lu into a pulp!]

[I've never seen such a disgusting person. It was clearly our Fanfan and An Fangfei's turn to be a couple, but he used despicable means to snatch it away!]

[That's right, anyone who uses despicable means must also be despicable!]

[Hope his reality show debut fails!]

[Instead of competitive variety shows, why not slow variety shows? Who wants to watch people working in the fields? They're like farmers.]

[That's right, I don't think An Fangfei is a good person either. When rumors were spread about Brother Fan, she didn't even stand up to support him!]

[Okay, okay, it's about to begin, ladies, get ready to find fault! ]

【it is good! 】

The pilot episode of "A Longing for Life" is episode 0.5 which brings together the three resident guests. There is not much content. The three of them just arrived at the Mushroom House, learned the rules, moved bricks to build a stove and cooked their first meal.

Among them, Lu Yun pushed a bicycle and used the principles of mechanics to transport a very high stack of bricks, and then used aerodynamics to build a stove that did not irritate the eyes with smoke.

By the way, Teacher He also contributed to the famous scene of praising people for the first time while eating, that is, he stood up after eating a bowl of noodles because it was so delicious!
Finally, there is a preview, showing the guests who will appear later and some famous scenes.

Including food poisoning.

The post-production team of "Longing" is indeed very talented. Various fancy words and small animations make the 20-minute pilot film quite interesting.

During the viewing, fans signed by Wu Fan started to take action, taking photos and posting them on Weibo to find all kinds of faults. Some who were not aware of the situation even blamed Lu Yun for the food poisoning.

Naturally, Lu Yun’s fans were not happy about this and soon launched a counterattack under the organization of Yan Xinxin.

After the video was released, they started arguing with each other in the comments.

However, some other fans fell into deep thought after watching the video.

"After taking such a close look, I realized...Roe Yun is so handsome, and he knows so many things. His confident look has an inexplicable charm!"

Of course, they can only say this to themselves and dare not tell other fans.

No matter what they think or how they make trouble, the "Longing" production team is paying attention to the ratings and rankings.

Soon, the data came out.

CSM52's ratings were 0.792, ranking first in the same period!

CSM national network ratings reached 0.89, ranking first in the same period!

"Haha, it's done!"
