Chapter 406 The Impact of Worldline Changes on the Movie, The Maiden Flight of the Long March 10 Rocket
Lu Yun didn't take a single day off during this year's Spring Festival because she was simply too busy.

The new large rocket is about to launch, and as the chief designer, he needs to pay extra attention.

The movie "The Wandering Earth 2" is also going to be made, and he is not just the lead actor.

After Tianwen-1 enters Mars orbit, the status of each device needs to be checked, including the small Mars rover that he led the research team to study.

Taking a break from his busy schedule, Lu Yun saw the list of films for this year's Lunar New Year season and realized that the world line was changing more and more.

There was no global pandemic in this lifetime, so the release of many films was not delayed.

For example, the blockbuster movie "Detective Chinatown 3" was released last year, instead of waiting until this year's Spring Festival.

Even without a major pandemic, and with "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha" setting new box office records twice, "Detective Chinatown 3" also had a different box office performance than its predecessor.

This time, it also broke the 6 billion mark, 200 million more in box office revenue than the previous time.

In this life, without the towering presence of "Detective Chinatown 3" during the Spring Festival of 2021, the predicted box office for all new films has increased significantly compared to the previous life.

Lu Yun vaguely remembered that the predicted box office for "Hi Mom" ​​in his previous life was over 2 billion, while the predicted box office for this life was over 3 billion.

The predicted box office for "A Writer's Odyssey" in the previous life was 900 million, while the predicted box office for this life is close to 2 billion.

This version of "A Writer's Odyssey" is quite different from the previous one. Most importantly, the special effects have benefited greatly from the involvement of Blue Star Tiangong, resulting in even better special effects.

It has the feel of a blockbuster special effects movie.

The predictions in "The Servants' Decree" show the greatest change.

The prediction in the previous life was less than 500 million, but in this life, perhaps influenced by the continuous box office boom of movies, the prediction is directly 1.5 billion!
After all, Chen Kun and Zhou Xun's collaboration seven years ago, "Painted Skin 2," grossed 700 million yuan. With the explosive growth of the film box office in the past two years, it is reasonable for "The Yin-Yang Master," another fantasy film starring Chen Kun and Zhou Xun, to gross 1.5 billion yuan.

The predicted box office for "New Gods: Nezha Reborn" has also changed significantly, from over 300 million in the previous life to nearly 700 million in this life.

Because the Nezha flame effects in it were made by Blue Star Tiangong, which is best at making flame effects.

The remaining prediction for "The Crowd" hasn't changed much; it's now 500 million instead of the previous prediction of 400 million.

However, Lu Yun couldn't hold back after reading some of the audience's comments.

Wow, I didn't expect Jia Ling to be so amazing in her directorial debut! I'm already looking forward to her next movie!

Indeed, this isn't a "fake spirit," it's a "real spirit." Jia Ling actually has quite a talent for directing.

Jia Ling is a director whose talent was wasted on comedy; in my opinion, she's on par with Guo Fan.

[Great! We've gained another talented female director. I think "Hi, Mom" ​​will easily gross 40 billion!]

[A Writer's Odyssey is also very good; it has a blockbuster feel, and the special effects are really well done.]

Indeed, I checked and it turns out its visual effects supervisor is the same person as the director of "The Wandering Earth."

[No wonder, aren't those people from Lu Yun's Blue Star Craft Company?]

That's him.

No wonder the special effects were so good!

[The Yin-Yang Master is having a tough time. It just so happens that Guo Jingming's similar half-Chinese, half-Japanese film was pulled from theaters, and this movie is following suit.]

I feel disgusted whenever I see movies that are half Chinese and half Japanese!

I'm definitely not going to watch it.

That mythological punk film, *New Gods: Nezha Reborn*, is quite interesting and novel...

Several films scheduled for the Spring Festival release were quickly rated, and the scores were similar to those of the audience. "Hi, Mom" ​​received the highest score, reaching 8.1.

Then there's "Endgame," which opened with a score of 7.6, and it's pretty good too.

Both "A Writer's Odyssey" and "New Gods: Nezha Reborn" scored 7.5 points.

The score for "The Servants of Gods" is not good. It opened with a score of 6.4 and is still dropping rapidly. It will probably drop to a score of 5 soon.

With the scores for all the films released, predictions have changed, with some films projected to see significant box office increases while others are predicted to suffer substantial decreases. Undoubtedly, the film "The Yin-Yang Master," a film with both Chinese and Japanese elements, has seen its box office predictions decline.

Meanwhile, the predicted box office for "Hi, Mom" ​​has skyrocketed, heading towards six billion yuan.

As usual, the crew of "The Wandering Earth 2" went to watch movies together after filming. Guo Fan chose "A Writer's Odyssey," directed by his good friend Lu Yang.

After all, both of them participated in the second phase of the "China-US Film Talent Exchange Program" to learn about the industrialized film production system in Hollywood. After returning to China, their companies were still located in the same building, so they became friends.

Later, during the filming of "The Wandering Earth," Lu Yang made a cameo appearance to support Guo Fan, and in this life, Guo Fan also has a cameo role in "A Writer's Odyssey."

Of course, most importantly, Guo Fan also participated in the investment.

Lu Yun didn't have that kind of free time, because the Long March 10 rocket was going to make its maiden flight in three days.

Even if he doesn't go to the site, he still needs to spend some time each day communicating with the on-site team via video.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Americans provided more amusement for Chinese netizens by impeaching former President Trump for "sedition."

However, he did not receive two-thirds of the vote, so he was not convicted.

This prompted many Chinese netizens, who love watching the drama unfold, to sigh repeatedly.

[What a pity, why didn't it succeed? I was hoping to see something even more exciting.]

[I knew it wouldn't work. After all, this is America, not some backwater country. They don't have the customs of a former president who was only green.]

It's hard to say!

It's hard to say, after all, there's never been a president as great as Trump in American history. He's practically the first president to achieve this, so it's hard to predict what will happen next.

[Haha, speaking of which, who is Kaka from the current Hanchen Kingdom?]

[It's Wen Kaka. I think he has a good appearance; I estimate he'll have a peaceful end.]

It's hard to say...

On the 15th, Tianwen-1, which had already entered Mars orbit, ignited its rocket again to adjust its orbit to a ring orbit around Mars passing through the two poles, and adjusted the altitude of the nearest point to about 265 kilometers.

After another maneuver, it can enter a stable "parking" track.

At that time, it will continuously take photos to confirm the pre-selected landing sites, allowing the command center to select the final landing site.

The command center expects that the landing procedure for Tianwen-1 will not be carried out until May at the earliest.

However, before that, on the 16th, the Long March 10 made its maiden flight!
Lu Yun sat calmly in the launch command center, listening to the staff's reports and looking at the various data on the computer in front of him.

With one minute left in the countdown, Lu Yun had confirmed three times that everything was fine and signaled to the staff to continue with the takeoff procedure.
Viewers watching the live stream held their breath in tension.

"3, 2, 1, ignition!"

"Boom~"

The Long March 10 rocket's seven engines, generating a total thrust of 1050 tons, blasted flames into the deflector, sending a large amount of water vapor into the sky.

Amidst the billowing steam, the massive Long March 10 rocket soared into the sky, leaving behind a trail of flames!

"take off!"

"Takeoff time: 11:41:15..."

"Coastal optical tracking is normal!"

"Coastal remote sensing is normal..."

Seeing the rocket take off smoothly, Lu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

This is, after all, a large rocket for a national mission, which has consumed a lot of national resources and required the full cooperation of various research institutes. It is also related to the later manned lunar landing mission. It is not like the "Wanhu" small rocket launched by his own company.

Wanhu: So... love can disappear?
