This star is going to the moon

Chapter 332, "Meritorious Service," describes the production team looking for an actor who understands aerospace and Russian to play an aerospace scientist.
The movie "The Eight Hundred" is very controversial. Lu Yun didn't see the movie in his previous life, but he knew that it did indeed gross over 30 billion yuan.

This is not surprising, after all, losing weight and making a movie at the same time can earn more than 30 billion.

It's fair to say that domestic audiences are quite easy to fool; as long as a movie has even a little bit of watchability, it won't flop.

Even if viewers regret watching it, the box office revenue has already been contributed.

If someone can still pounce on a dog like that in this kind of environment, then...

The production company needs to reflect on its own actions.

So Lu Yun didn't pay attention to this matter. This can be considered an inevitable step in the development of the film industry. Not only do producers need to practice, but audiences also need to practice. One day, we will be able to achieve common prosperity.

Or rather, practice together until you die.

These are all opportunities.

While Lu Yun was undergoing astronaut training, SpaceX raised a round of financing, and with its successful manned maiden flight of the Crew Dragon spacecraft, it raised $20 billion, bringing the company's valuation to $460 billion.

It seems to have just surpassed BlueStar Aerospace's $450 billion valuation from last month, but that was last month's valuation.

After all, earlier this month, Blue Star Aerospace also completed the first manned flight of the "Wooden Kite".

Although its first manned flight took only six days, a tenfold difference from the more than sixty days of the "Manned Dragon" flight, there is no essential difference.

Even if there are fundamental differences, the myths that should have been placed on the "Manned Dragon" spacecraft have been transferred to the "Wooden Kite" spacecraft, and the "Wooden Kite" spacecraft is even more mythical!

After all, in terms of advancement, the "Manned Dragon" is more than ten times inferior to the "Wooden Kite".

Although they are not actually in the same category, they are not so easy to compare.

With the successful manned flight of the "Wooden Kite," there has been a strong desire to purchase it from various sectors, with the UAE, which is extremely wealthy, being the most prominent. Therefore, the future of the "Wooden Kite" is highly regarded.

Various forecasting and assessment agencies are also very optimistic about the new space tourism model centered on "Muyuan", so Blue Star Aerospace's valuation has been rising again and again.

When SpaceFork's valuation reached $460 billion after its financing round, BlueStar Aerospace's valuation was already approaching $550 billion, completely widening the gap between them and placing them in a completely different league.

Although there are many commercial space "unicorn companies" now, the term "super unicorn" or "unicorn of unicorns" used to refer specifically to SpaceX, since other companies were not in the same league as it.

From now on, this "exclusive" status will belong to Blue Star Aerospace, as it has broken through to a new level.

How to describe it? It's like the publicly disclosed GDP rankings of countries around the world.

The US stands alone with over $20 trillion, China is in a league of its own with $15 trillion, and then other countries are around $5 trillion or less.

Currently, BlueStar Aerospace is considered "American," SpaceX is considered "Chinese," and other commercial space companies are considered "others."

It was in this state that the production team of the TV series "Meritorious Service" contacted Lu Yun through internal channels in the aerospace industry.

"Mr. Lu, I apologize for disturbing you."

Zheng Xiaolong, the director of "Meritorious Service," shook hands with Lu Yun and said, "We know that you're busy with the aerospace project and aren't taking on ordinary scripts anymore. However, this script of ours is truly extraordinary and perfectly suited to you. It's also been recommended by Academician Sun, so we shamelessly approached you..."

As soon as Lu Yun heard the title "Meritorious Service," he knew why Zheng Xiaolong had come, because he had watched the TV series in his previous life.

This TV series is a major realistic drama that focuses on eight recipients of the "Medal of the Republic". It uses rich and simple plots to reproduce their brilliant lives, reveal the responsibility and spiritual realm of intellectuals and grassroots cadres, and thus praise the backbone heroes of the new era.

The drama is divided into eight units: "Li Yannian, a man of both literary and martial arts", "Yu Min, an unsung hero", "Zhang Fuqing, an unknown figure", "Huang Xuhua's deep dive", "Shen Jilan's proposal", "Sun Jiadong's road to heaven", "Tu Youyou's gift" and "Yuan Longping's dream".

As an aerospace student, Lu Yun was very familiar with Academician Sun's deeds, after all, he was one of the pioneers of my country's artificial satellite technology, satellite navigation technology and deep space exploration technology.

He led the research on China's first artificial satellite, "Dongfanghong-1". In the previous life's drama "Meritorious Service", the actor who played Academician Sun was Tong Dawei. His acting was good, but because of his age, his face had become quite fleshy, making him appear large and somewhat chubby.

Furthermore, he doesn't speak Russian, so the Russian lines had to be dubbed in post-production, resulting in the final product sounding strange when the Russian and Chinese lines are switched.

Rowoon had already flopped by then. Not only was his acting good, but his reputation was also bad, and he was still following the idol route.

So even though he studied aerospace and knew the Russian required for the role, making him a perfect fit for the role of Academician Sun, the production team didn't consider him at all.

But Lu Yun is different in this life.

When the production team received the assignment, he was the first person they thought of. With the coordination of the State Administration of Radio and Television, they interviewed Academician Sun himself, and Academician Sun also recommended Lu Yun.

After all, Lu Yun in this life is too successful. Academician Sun knows that such a person has emerged from the aerospace industry. He has even seen Lu Yun's dramas, such as "You Are My Glory", in which he was simultaneously pursuing love and aerospace.

Academician Sun: "Isn't there a ready-made actor? Lu Yun is perfect for this role because I was just as handsome when I was young, haha."

The production teams of "Meritorious Service" and "Sun Jiadong's Heavenly Road" also thought the same way.

They were looking for an actor who understood aerospace, knew Russian, and had good acting skills. Was there any actor in the entertainment industry more suitable than Rowoon?

Moreover, Lu Yun is not just an ordinary person with knowledge of aerospace; he is also the chief designer of the national super aerospace project, holding a position similar to that of Academician Sun in the drama when he presided over the "Dongfanghong-1" artificial satellite.

This is absolutely perfect.

However, they knew that Lu Yun was currently busy with the aerospace industry and was no longer accepting ordinary scripts, so he was confirmed to star in "The Wandering Earth 2". Therefore, they did not dare to approach him directly.

Now, thanks to Academician Sun's intervention and the willingness of the aerospace system to act as intermediaries, they were able to meet Lu Yun.

Lu Yun, of course, had no problem, which could be considered as fulfilling a dream he had in his previous life.

The positive reviews and popularity of "Meritorious Service" have boosted his acting career.

Furthermore, it will not affect his appearance in "The Wandering Earth 2" in October, because the "Sun Jiadong's Heavenly Road" segment, in which he is to star, only has 6 episodes, which can be filmed in the 30 days of September.

"No problem, I took it."

"Great!"

Zheng Xiaolong said happily, "You also have a wife in this drama, look at Miss An over there..."

In the previous life, Sun Li played the role of Academician Sun's wife in the drama, so it seems that his influence in this life is indeed quite significant.

So Lu Yun smiled and said, "No problem, I'll let her know. She's already monopolized all the wife roles in my movies."

hey~
Zheng Xiaolong chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "Everyone knows you two are practically getting married now."

With the support of Lu Yun and An Fangfei, the success of "Meritorious Service" is sure to be good.

Although he had read the script and had the support of the government, he knew the show wouldn't be bad, but that didn't stop him from hoping it would become even more popular.

Having finalized the cooperation agreement, Lu Yun instructed them to contact Liu Chun to discuss the contract.

These official mission-driven dramas usually have very low pay, or even no pay, but not just anyone can act in them.

Lu Yun also called An Fangfei: "Darling, come back quickly, the country has assigned you to play my wife."
