This star is going to the moon

Chapter 249 Guo Fan: The broadcast time of "The Wandering Earth 2" may be longer!

The fan war between the two celebrities, who had just collaborated on a hit drama, quickly escalated to a fever pitch. It's impossible to say that it wasn't orchestrated by their studios and the celebrities themselves.

Even if there are no overt instructions, there are still covert ones.

Otherwise, fans wouldn't have thought, "My idol has been wronged, and I want to seek justice for him."

Then snipe any fans you encounter.

This is how Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan's fans are.

Goodness, now that Xiao Zhan has won the "Weibo King" award at the "Weibo Night" event, Wang Yibo's fans are naturally not satisfied.

[It's a cover-up! It must be a cover-up!]

[It's possible that Xiao Zhan used bait to garner votes and that's how he won this award!]

[My Yibo only won "Male God of the Year," and there were four people sharing the award. Why did Xiao Zhan get "King"?!]

[That ugly bastard Xiao Zhan must have spent a fortune buying traffic and votes! The votes were rigged!]

[That's right, I personally witnessed his stock price jump by a huge amount within an hour a few days ago!]

[No, I have to write another fanfiction about Xiao Zhan as a prostitute. Sisters, remember to check it out on AO3!]

[This is great, we must write him down as a terrible writer!]

【Then I'll write one too. I'll write about how he's cute even when he's small, and how he got dermatitis from being poked!】

Haha, you ladies are all so talented! All I can do is increase your readership and give you some likes...

These things are a conspiracy, and outsiders certainly won't be able to see them.

Of course, it's not visible for the time being.

Because something big is about to happen soon, which is known in the entertainment industry as the "February 27 Incident".

Only Lu Yun, who has been reborn, knows about this matter. After all, it's quite a big deal, and even Lu Yun, who was struggling in his previous life, has heard about it.

However, he wasn't paying attention to that right now; he was listening to the teasing from his friends who were having dinner with him.

"If only you, Mr. Lu, hadn't gone, this 'Weibo King' title would definitely be yours!"

"Haha, that's right. With our CEO Lu's popularity, he can immediately take the top spot on the voting list with just one call!"

"When the time comes, President Lu will be the 'King' and President An will be the 'Queen', how pleasing that would be!"

Half of the people present were from the aerospace industry, and the other half were from the film and television industry; theoretically, they wouldn't have much in common.

However, Guo Fan himself makes science fiction films. He got to know many scientists, especially those in the aerospace field, when he was filming "The Wandering Earth", so he can be considered half one of his own.

Although he hasn't decided what "Tomorrow's Astronauts" will be like, he knows it's different from regular variety shows, such as comedy, romance, life, or idol shows. It's more technical, so there are quite a few biases when assembling the team.

Some have filmed military-themed reality shows, some have produced variety shows for CCTV, and others have worked on intellectual and competitive reality shows.

Let's have dinner together tonight to celebrate the successful first day of filming for "Tomorrow's Astronauts".

The others egged him on, and Guo Fan joined in the fun, saying to Lu Yun, "You should really try this when you have time in the future; it's quite fun."

Although Guo Fan directs science fiction films and has raised a banner for domestic science fiction, unlike other film directors, it is impossible for him to leave the film and entertainment industry like Lu Yun.

When he was filming "The Wandering Earth," he not only had the support of Lu Yun, but also a lot of support from the film and television industry.

So when the movie "The Fortress of Shanghai" invited him to the premiere, he had to go, and he also had to say some nice things in a roundabout way.

While I can't go against my conscience and say the movie is good, I have to say that the special effects staff worked very hard and that making a science fiction film is not easy.

However, he also admitted that this "Weibo Night" was indeed a traffic-driven event, lacking any technical sophistication.

Awards were given out in droves, even more generously than the Golden Rooster Awards; it seemed like everyone who went received an award. However, Guo Fan believed that audience ratings and box office performance were the most meaningful.

All the awards are just icing on the cake.

After all, he makes movies to serve the audience, and audience satisfaction is the most important thing.

So Guo Fan quickly shifted to another area.

"I made the right choice to come here to direct 'Tomorrow's Astronauts'. I already have a lot of new ideas on the first day."

He happily told Lu Yun, "I feel that the plot quality of 'The Wandering Earth 2' can be even better, and the plot density will be very high..."

Hearing Guo Fan say this, Lu Yun quickly interrupted, "Brother Guo, don't be so happy yet. You promised me you'd make it a two-part series. You should think about how to divide the story first."

Guo Fan: "..."

This is indeed a problem.

Actually, he was already having a headache when Lu Yun suggested that he split "The Wandering Earth 2" into two parts.

If a perfectly good movie is split into two parts, the continuity of the plot is disrupted, and how uncomfortable must that be for the audience?
Lu Yun also had a headache after hearing Guo Fan's theory.

Feeling upset is one thing, but does feeling physically uncomfortable mean it's not uncomfortable?

Lu Yun really wanted to tell him, "Do you know how uncomfortable it is for the audience to hold their breath for nearly three hours?"

Now he heard Guo Fan say that he wanted to increase the density of the plot. If he couldn't bear to cut anything during editing, wouldn't the finished product of "The Wandering Earth 2" be more than three hours long?
Yes, some movies released in theaters are indeed more than three hours long, such as The Godfather Part II, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, and Titanic.

However, ensuring that the film has an appropriate length is also a way of being responsible to the audience.

Watching a super long movie that lasts three or four hours is really exhausting.

After dinner, the group stopped talking about the "Weibo Night" event, since their most important task right now was the selection of commercial astronauts.

China's selection system for professional astronauts is quite mature, but for commercial astronauts...

Let alone the selection system, it's not even clear what commercial astronauts will do after they go into space.

Early astronaut selection emphasized the analysis and evaluation of human functions, including cardiopulmonary function, head-down position endurance, lower body negative pressure endurance, vestibular function, and G-force endurance.

The training of professional astronauts mainly includes nearly 8 items in eight aspects, such as basic theoretical learning, physical training, space environment adaptability training, psychological training, professional and technical training, flight procedure and mission simulation training, life-saving training, and large-scale joint exercises.

With the advancement of manned spaceflight technology and changes in flight technology, human understanding of the space environment is constantly deepening. Astronaut professions will become increasingly differentiated along with missions, and the content and methods of selection and training will be continuously adjusted and improved.

For example, the Shenzhou-7 crew will conduct the first extravehicular activity (EVA) mission, so the astronauts underwent extensive training on the ground in equipment such as EVA simulators, low-pressure chambers, and water tanks. They also underwent additional tests on their susceptibility to high-altitude decompression sickness and their basic physical fitness.

Now that the construction of the space station and long-term stays have begun, the training of professional astronauts has focused on strengthening emotional stability, psychological resilience, and crisis management skills.

We must also improve medical treatment skills, conduct space experiment training, and gradually establish selection methods for aerospace flight engineers and payload specialists to provide qualified crews for space laboratories and space stations, ensuring the successful completion of missions.

Commercial astronauts, especially those used in the "Wooden Kite" mission, do not participate in the construction of the space station or in space experiments, so much of the training required for professional astronauts is not required.

But what to cut is indeed a problem.

However, the commercial astronauts on the "Wooden Kite" also have a new subject to learn from the flight attendants how to serve passengers in the air.

Although this "empty" refers to outer space.

And instead of pushing a trolley around the aisle, they can "fly around".

Therefore, it's not enough to just learn from flight attendants; you also need to learn on your own and invent new service methods.

In a sense, these commercial astronauts can also be considered space explorers, or even "professional" astronauts.

Fortunately, we can think about the training subjects later; the most important thing now is to conduct the selection process.

Tomorrow... let's give them a medical check-up first!
