Chapter 339 Those Celebrities Who Are Envious and Jealous: The New Scene for Competition in the Future—Space!
The footage from inside the cabin of the Wooden Kite was being broadcast live, but Lu Yun and the others were speaking in hushed tones, so viewers couldn't hear them.

According to Lu Yun, after they return to the ground, they will release some interesting edited videos, which will include chat conversations.

The reason for doing this is that it's easy to accidentally broadcast things that shouldn't be broadcast when talking on a live stream.

For example, Lu Yun and Academician Ye discussed the "senior scholars traveling in space" activity and possible future official cooperation.

However, the current silent live broadcasts are more likely to arouse the audience's imagination.

Moreover, you can tell what is being done without hearing any sound.

【Fuck! 】

Proposing in space—how romantic!

[How come we still can't finish this dog food?!]

Yes, kisses on the cheek at a space airport, hugs in space, marriage proposals in space—one after another!

[Will there be any surprises later? Like, "We have a child"?]

[This... can't be, right?]

It's hard to say; Lu Yun always manages to surprise us in various ways.

All I know is that from now on, those celebrities are worlds apart from Lu Yun.

[If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that Lu Yun is actually a celebrity. He has so few works; it feels like he's been focusing on aerospace all year.]

[Being a celebrity doesn't necessarily mean you have any notable works. Look at so-and-so, they don't have many works, but they're still a celebrity and they're always trending on Weibo.]

Indeed, there is a significant difference between actors and celebrities.

[Haha, no matter how much those celebrities buy trending topics or do marketing, they can't surpass Lu Sheng in terms of popularity, even though Lu Sheng doesn't have any film or television works this year.]

That's good! We need good money to drive out bad!

[Those celebrities must be stunned to see today's trending topics; ten out of the top fifty trending topics on Weibo are related to Lu Yun.]

[Especially the top trending topic #LuYunProposesToAnFangfeiInSpace#...]

The comments were right; those celebrities, especially the younger generation of celebrities who are about the same age as Lu Yun.

It's rare for a star to become famous without any works. Most popular stars have at least one or two representative works, and many more work hard to make a series of works to keep their faces in front of the audience.

Even if the works don't connect, they still need to use endorsements, advertisements, or even just buy traffic marketing to get their faces in front of the audience as much as possible.

Since the rise of the "traffic star" model a few years ago, the development path of celebrities has changed.

However, their problem is that they are "uncultured." Many of them cannot see the country's major development strategy and only focus on their own little world of entertainment.

We are now in a period of great development in the country's space program, and we are actually engaged in a space race with the United States. Any slight movement will definitely become a trending topic and may even spark nationwide discussion under the guidance of official media.

Lu Yun is a key figure in the space race. He has now traveled to space in a groundbreaking space shuttle that he designed and built, a feat unprecedented in history. He also proposed to his girlfriend in front of hundreds of millions of people, with the backdrop of the country's territory in space.

With all these layers of buffs combined, the hype skyrocketed... to outer space!

Yes, this is mostly a hot topic in the aerospace field, and has little to do with the entertainment industry.

But who can blame them when Lu Yun and An Fangfei are celebrities, people in the entertainment industry?

So not only did official media report on this, but even entertainment media rushed to get involved.

Just like how a triple-threat star in film, television, and music is more impressive than a single-threat star.

How can a mere celebrity in the entertainment industry compare to Lu Yun, who is involved in both the entertainment and aerospace industries?
The key issue is that they can't just exclude Lu Yun from the entertainment industry.

They lack culture, while some major media outlets in the entertainment industry are cultured; it's just a matter of whether they use their knowledge in the right way.

Therefore, when it comes to understanding national strategies, those major media outlets do have some knowledge, and Lu Yun's massive online traffic really shouldn't be overlooked.

Furthermore, Lu Yun's existence would enhance the image of the entertainment industry, so they certainly couldn't let him go. Some large entertainment companies also saw something amiss.

Although I can't beat Lu Yun, I can still be second.

Especially when the first place is too awesome, then the second place can also be considered a kind of "first place".

For example, the current international landscape is characterized by "one superpower and multiple strong powers".

If a single superpower cannot compete with a single nation for the time being, then the question of whether a nation can become the strongest among many other nations has become the focus of competition for many countries.

Therefore, some entertainment companies plan to organize a space tour for their top stars after Blue Star Aerospace announces its commercial space tour.

This is similar to how some domestic celebrities release albums and try to climb the US music charts; reaching number one is seen as a significant boost to their prestige.

However, the bosses had different opinions on whether or not to send celebrities into space.

"Actually, as the boss, I should also go to space for a spin. After all, raising the company's prestige can raise the overall prestige, including incidentally raising the prestige of celebrities."

"Commercial space tourism abroad costs several hundred million yuan. Even if Blue Star Space Travel tickets are cheaper, they'll still cost tens of millions, right?"

"This is not a small amount of money."

"Moreover, as celebrities in the entertainment industry, even though the company's artists have made it clear that they will no longer compete with Lu Yun for first place, it still feels a bit inferior for them to ride in Lu Yun's space shuttle."

"So their best approach is to avoid meeting each other, which helps them maintain their image as celebrities."

“But it’s different when I ride the space shuttle. I’m the boss of an entertainment company, and Lu Yun is the boss of a technology company. We’re not in the same industry, but we’re both bosses, so it’s fine!”

"It's obvious that space tourism will become a very popular way to elevate one's status in the next few years. Maybe I'll even meet other bosses and talk about collaborations..."

other people:"……"

Ultimately, it all boils down to them being unwilling to spend money on their artists.

No wonder the company's artists can't get ahead.

However, one thing is true.

With the advent of more convenient space shuttles to space, space tourism is sure to become a very popular way to elevate one's status.

It's possible that they'll end up buying private yachts and private jets, just like the super-rich do, or even private space shuttles.

Lu Yun doesn't care what others think; they're having a great time in space right now.

The Muyuan spacecraft will orbit the Earth three times, passing over the motherland twice. So after passing over the motherland once, they will start to enjoy space food.

Compared to the fourth-generation space food that is not much different from what is on Earth, which is currently being eaten on the two space stations, the space food they experienced was more like the first-generation "toothpaste" and the second-generation "swallowing in one bite".

For example, beef sauce and apple sauce are packaged in "toothpaste bags" and squeezed out like toothpaste when you eat them.

Then there are small pieces of pastry without any crumbs or powder, one bite at a time.

After all, they've come to space. If they're eating food that's similar to what they eat on Earth, then what's the point of coming all this way?
To distinguish them, we would definitely need to use food from earlier spaceflights.

Of course, space food has undergone decades of development, and even if its shape is somewhat outdated, it certainly tastes better.

After all, space tourists don't actually come to be astronauts, but rather to experience "astronaut life".

Just like the “professional spacesuit-style” passenger cabin suits they were wearing.

When the wooden kite flew over the motherland for the second time, others also began to take photos with the motherland's territory.

After all, the last time they passed by, Lu Yun and An Fangfei took up all their time.

After taking the photos, they returned to their seats, because after flying half a circle, the Wooden Kite would slow down, descend into orbit, and return to Earth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seatbelts, we are about to return to Earth..."
