This star is going to the moon

Chapter 63: General Consultant and Investment of "The Moon Walks Alone"
Just after New Year’s Day in 2018, Lu Yun arrived in Ludao City.

Ludao City was the habitat of egrets in ancient times, hence the name.

This is a typical southern coastal city, and even in winter the scenery is much more beautiful than that of Beijing in the north.

Lu Yun and Yan Xinxin came out of the airport and took a taxi to the coastal highway. Yan Xinxin was taking pictures carefree, while he looked towards the east of the sea with some emotion.

There is a group of disobedient anthropomorphic creatures on the other side of the strait. He didn't get rid of them before he died in his previous life. He doesn't know when he will get rid of them in this life.

After all, the world line in this life has changed so much, right? It’s time to change here too?

With some strange thoughts, Lu Yun arrived at the crew of "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

This life's "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is actually somewhat different from the previous life, because its heroine is Ma Dongmei, Shen Teng's golden partner.

Instead of the woman who spoke in a very weird way in the previous life.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Yun agreed to make a guest appearance.

The main reason is that the heroine in the previous life was really hard to describe.

The film director warmly welcomed Lu Yun: "I'm so happy to meet you, Lu Yun. I've really broadened my horizons recently. I didn't expect that our entertainment industry could also produce aerospace scientists!"

"People often say that there are many illiterate people in our entertainment industry. You are the most powerful response to them..."

Lu Yun was speechless after hearing this.

There's no need to say that, because he also feels that there are many illiterate people in the entertainment industry.

Shen Teng who was present at the same time was also a little embarrassed. After all, there are indeed a lot of illiterate people in the entertainment industry!

The director asked Lu Yun to make a cameo appearance as a purely commercial act, not out of personal preference or friendship, so he paid Lu Yun a salary based on his fame.

Only half a day of shooting, and a pay of 100 million!
Originally, the producer thought it was a bit expensive, but after the news of the "Golden Toad" lunar rover successfully passing the moonlit night and subsequent news came out, Lu Yun's fame soared again.

The crew instantly felt that they had made a profit.

If the "Golden Toad" lunar rover only reached the moon, then Lu Yun could only be considered a "space rookie."

But once his core design plan for the "Golden Toad" lunar rover came out, he was a true "space boss."

Such a Lu Yun plays the role of "aerospace tycoon" in "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and it is his true self!
This should at least increase the box office by 5000 million, right?

It was very simple to shoot Lu Yun’s scenes. In the movie, he was just “acting remotely” with the leading actor. In actual filming, he couldn’t even see the leading actor. He just had to do a few actions and recite some words in front of a green screen.

The green screen will be replaced with a PPT of the lunar program later, but Lu Yun doesn't believe in the level of these people.

Not to mention that this movie has nothing to do with aerospace, even the part of "My Motherland, My Country" - "Daytime Meteor" which was related to aerospace in the previous life can mess up aerospace knowledge.

"Daytime Meteor" tells the story of the successful landing of the return capsule of the Shenzhou 11 spacecraft.

At that time, Lu Yun originally wanted to go and see it, even though it was a typical work by the father and son of "Arthur Please Take a Seat" where the director father supports his star son, but after all, it was about aerospace.

As a result, as soon as Lu Yun saw the movie poster, he immediately didn't want to watch it.

Because the damn crew directly turned the manned return capsule into a missile!

Normally, the manned capsule needs to have a flat bottom in front and a pointed nose in the back for its return, so that it can slow down.

The tip of it is pointed forward, just like a launched bullet. It would be impossible for it to decelerate and land normally.

Not to mention that the plot of this movie is also outrageous. When the astronauts were leaving the cabin, they had to rely on two idiots who came on horseback to break through the military and police blockade to help them.

Afterwards they said it was designed specifically for the plot, and it was a high-level artistic and emotional expression design!
Go to hell!

So it’s the same with “The Richest Man in Xihong City”. Lu Yun will provide the PPT images himself, and then the movie can be added directly during post-production.

The crew naturally had no objection, and it saved money. Moreover, having Lu Yun make the PPT content himself was a good publicity gimmick.

After the meeting, Lu Yun was about to say goodbye, but Shen Teng actually said he wanted to treat him to a meal.

Lu Yun went there with the idea of ​​eating for free and making friends with Shen Teng, but he found out that there was someone else who actually treated him.

Shen Teng’s friend Zhang Chiyu is also a director.

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, then chatted about some trivial matters while eating. Only after they felt familiar with each other did they start to talk about business.

Zhang Chiyu said, "This is it, Brother Lu. I recently read a science fiction comic called "The Lone Moon" and want to make it into a movie. I'm currently in contact with the copyright holder, and the company also supports me."

"But the comics definitely need to be adapted and localized, so I'm unsure about some of the aerospace science questions."

"And right now, no one in the domestic entertainment industry knows more about aerospace and the moon than you do."

"No one who knows about aerospace and the moon knows as much about filmmaking as you do, so could you be my consultant..."

Lu Yun thought this sounded familiar, but it did make sense. Lu Yun understood the two sides better when combined.

Zhang Chiyu wanted Lu Yun to be the chief consultant of "The Lone Moon". If there was any need in any field, Lu Yun could contact the relevant experts himself and the crew would pay for it.

Lu Yun thought about it, the performance of "The Lone Moon" in his previous life was very good, but it was a pity that the leading role was not suitable for him, so it would be okay to participate in this way.

But being just a general counsel is not enough.

"Being a consultant is no problem," Lu Yun nodded, then asked, "Also, have you started talking about investment? I plan to invest part of it."

Zhang Chiyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but soon his face turned happy.

Shen Teng, who had already been confirmed to be the leading actor, was moved and suddenly remembered a line from "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

"It's a deal, double happiness!"

This is a great start!

The script hasn't even been finalized yet, but there's already investment.

Although the company supports it and "The Lone Moon" is also a comedy, it is ultimately based on science fiction. At present, there is nothing outstanding in domestic science fiction. The previous movie version of "The Three-Body Problem" failed, and they really don't know what will happen when they try to attract investment in the future.

Now with Lu Yun joining and initial investment commitment, it will definitely be much easier to attract further investment.

"Oh, thank you so much, eat your food!"

"Brother Lu, are you busy lately? If not, I'll take you on a tour of Ludao Island tomorrow. I've been here before and know a lot of beautiful places... Oh, are you going to visit the set tomorrow?"

"Oh, the crew of 'Take My Brother Away!' I know, I have a friend on that crew..."

………………

The next day, Lu Yun arrived first at the crew of "Take My Brother Away", and then Yan Xinxin led people to deliver several boxes of drinks, all for the extras.

Then Lu Yun heard the extras shouting, "Thank you, Brother Lu, for the drinks!"

"..."

It's a bit awkward, but that's how the entertainment industry is.

"elder brother!"

Well, Mai Mai’s clear voice with a touch of surprise is still the best.

Lu Yun turned his head and saw Zhao Jinmai running towards him, then hugged his arm.

As usual, Lu Yun touched her head, and then she dragged him to meet the other leading actors.

"Brother, this is Zhang Zifeng, let's play best friends."

"Hello, Brother Lu."

"Hello, Zi Feng, I grew up watching your movies."

"..."

"Brother, this is Peng Yuchang, the brother who plays me and Zifeng in the movie."

"Hello, Brother Lu."

"Hello, Peng Peng, Teacher He has contacted me. Welcome to join the Mushroom House~"

"Hehe, don't worry, Brother Lu, leave the heavy work to me from now on!"

"this is……"

Zhao Jinmai was very happy about Lu Yun's arrival, because even though the movie had a "brother-changing" plot, Peng Yuchang and Zhang Zifeng were the real siblings, and the director also focused on letting them develop a brother-sister relationship.

Then, it must be said that Peng Yuchang and Zhang Zifeng were really into the role, and their acting skills were better than hers. They seemed to have a real brother-sister relationship. Many of their interactions reminded her of her brother Lu Yun, whom she met in "The Wandering Earth".

Then my brother came today!
Of course she is happy.

At the same time, the director of "Take My Brother Away" was also very happy and rubbed his hands excitedly.

I didn’t expect that Zhao Jinmai’s “superstar brother” Lu Yun would come to visit the set, and it seemed that he also knew Peng Yuchang, so his visit couldn’t be in vain.

The movie "Kuaibha" just lacks a superstar to bring fame!

"Mr. Lu, in our movie, Mai Mai plays the character 'Miao Miao' who has a crush on a singing and dancing superstar named 'Brother Shen'. Are you interested in a cameo appearance..."
