This star is going to the moon

Chapter 36 Director Guo rubbed his hands: "Is Mr. Lu planning to sponsor?"

Lu Yun is sure that the filming of "The Wandering Earth" in this life will be much smoother and there won't be as many troubles as in the previous life.

At least there is no need to wait for the male lead to run away before urgently replacing him with a new one.

There were many twists and turns during the filming of "The Wandering Earth" in the previous life. The male lead who was decided at the beginning felt that the entire crew was unreliable, and making a science fiction film was like a big scam, which made him have no confidence in "The Wandering Earth".

In addition, there was a TV series that looked very good and wanted him to act in it, so he decided to leave.

You have to know that "The Wandering Earth" had already started filming for a few days, but the male lead ran away, which had a huge impact on the crew.

Although a penalty was stated when signing the contract, because the remuneration was only 5, the penalty was only 15.

In response to this situation, Director Guo could only find a way to cheer himself up and said, "Look, we've already doubled our profits right after we started filming."

"We can use the money we earn to double the new male lead's salary. I don't believe no one will take the role!"

Others could only smile bitterly.

"The Three-Body Problem" did not open the door to "domestic science fiction blockbusters", and even closed it slightly. It was indeed very unfriendly to those who made science fiction movies later.

But there is no other way, the more difficult it is, the more we have to shoot it, otherwise when will domestic science fiction films be able to stand up!

And in this life, Lu Yun is here, and many things will go smoothly.

In fact, he didn't know much about the filming of "The Wandering Earth" in his previous life. He only knew about it from gossip and information, but in this life, he felt a different atmosphere as soon as he joined the crew.

Of course, it is not the "unreliable scam" temperament mentioned by the original male protagonist in the previous life, but rather a temperament of "everyone is serious and responsible."

Everyone in the crew is very serious, and everyone wants to make a science fiction film that can be shown off internationally!

In order to solve the problem that science fiction films are relatively weak in scientific conception and world view construction, Director Guo specially hired four scientists from the Academy of Sciences as academic consultants, and eventually established a rigorous world view.

The scenes such as "Ice Field" and "Dungeon" that occupy a large part of the original novel will also be restored in the film. According to calculations, the final construction area of ​​the physical scene will reach 100000 square meters!
The physical scene has not been completed yet, so Lu Yun doesn’t know if there will be so many, but Lu Yun has actually seen 3000 concept drawings and 8000 storyboard drawings.

In addition, it is said that there are 10000 props, and Lu Yun also saw several thousand of them. These numbers represent the countless days and nights of meticulous work of the team behind the scenes.

However, there is also a problem in making science fiction films, which is how to best combine "science" and "fantasy".

Although Director Guo has hired many scientific consultants, it is not certain that a science fiction film can be made well if it really follows the scientific approach.

In addition, there are many visual effects and design aesthetics required for film and television images that scientists do not quite understand. At this time, we need someone who understands both science and movies.

Road Cloud!

Director Guo would unconsciously curl his lips whenever he thought of letting Lu Yun be the male lead in the movie.

This decision is really correct!
Then...Lu Yun started to insert smuggled goods.

"Director Guo, let me tell you, the rocket models in the draft design are not correct. According to the timeline of The Wandering Earth, we need to use reusable rockets."

"And these manned spacecraft, don't stick them to the outside of the rocket's fairing like this. A rocket is not a missile. The fairing is meant to be jettisoned separately. The cargo is inside, not sent hurtling into space intact like a missile warhead."

"Director Guo, if you don't want the technology in the movie to be too out of touch with the present, you could use a cargo rocket like this..."

Lu Yun took out a tablet computer and showed the design drawings of Blue Star Aerospace Company's Wanhu rocket and the planned super rocket.

"The manned spacecraft also needs to be upgraded. We can use a new single-stage orbital space shuttle that can take off horizontally from an airport runway..."

Lu Yun also showed the design drawings of the planned horizontal take-off SSTO space shuttle.

Guo Fan's face lit up, convinced he'd found the right person. He took the tablet and exclaimed, "The rocket and space shuttle designs are so well done! They've even built 3D models! You're truly an aerospace major!" Director Guo examined them carefully, zooming in here and there, and then noticed something off. "Hey, why are the names and logos of 'Blue Star Aerospace' all over the drawings? Have you even thought of a name yet?"

"wrong……"

Director Guo seemed to have thought of something: "In order to make a good movie, I have been paying attention to the aerospace industry. Recently, it seems that a new private aerospace company called 'Blue Star Aerospace' has been established. This..."

"You didn't take someone else's ready-made picture, did you?" Director Guo shook his head slightly. "That won't do. We could easily get into trouble."

Lu Yun didn't expect Director Guo to be willing to do anything to make a good movie, so he could only say helplessly, "It's okay. I won't be sued because I'm the boss of Blue Star Aerospace."

"?"

Director Guo leaned back slightly, a puzzled look on his face.

But he was no ordinary man. He immediately lit up and rubbed his hands together, saying, "So, Mr. Lu, are you planning to sponsor our movie?"

"..."

not good!

Lu Yun felt an inexplicable force influencing his thinking and really wanted to sponsor Director Guo to make a movie!
Is this what others feel when you’re acting at full strength?
Could it be that Director Guo has a charm system?

Lu Yun thought that he was actually sponsoring Director Guo to make the movie, so it was okay.

"Blue Star Aerospace currently uses all of its funds on rocket research and development. At most, it can provide some technical support."

"Okay, technical support is fine, as long as it's support!"

Director Guo clapped his hands and said, "We are all tied to 'The Wandering Earth'. The more successful it is, the higher your share of the box office revenue will be, and I will also get more money to make the second film."

"Honestly, I'm really worried that this movie will lose money, leaving me with no money for a second or even a third film."

"It would be a shame if The Wandering Earth trilogy couldn't be completed..."

Lu Yun knows that the "Wandering Earth" series will not lose money, the audience will only feel that it is released too slowly and too little.

Later, the two chatted again, and Director Guo said that only two rockets and one aircraft were too few. What he wanted was an extremely spectacular rocket launch scene where all mankind worked together.

This is easy. Although Lu Yun doesn’t know what the world will be like decades later after The Wandering Earth, he knows what the rockets will look like ten years from now.

So he showed Director Guo the Long March 5 for domestic cargo transportation, the old version of the Long March 9 and the new version of the Long March 9, and the SLS rocket, New Glenn rocket and Starship rocket under development by the United States.

There are also large rockets and PPT rockets from other countries to make up the numbers.

The manned ones include the Long March 10 rocket under development in China and the new generation Mengzhou spacecraft under development.

The Americans have the "Crew Dragon" spacecraft, the "Starliner" spacecraft under development, and the "Orion" spacecraft under development.

Lu Yun put a lot of Easter eggs in it, and after the movie is released, the audience will be able to discover a lot of interesting things in combination with reality.

For example, if Boeing's Starliner spacecraft malfunctions during its manned test flight, it could leave the astronauts at the International Space Station and return on its own.

Of course, the most important thing is to advertise for Blue Star Aerospace. I wonder what the audience will think when they see things in science fiction movies come true?
Perhaps the title of "documentary" of "The Wandering Earth" will be more famous.

Lu Yun even plans to include the sixth-generation fighter jet in the second film, so that the audience won't complain that the technological level of science fiction movies can't keep up with the development of real technology...

PS: 2024 is almost over and 2025 is coming. I wish you all a happy new year~~I hope you can be a better self in the new year!
