This star is going to the moon

Chapter 67 I will definitely beat him this year!

"We can't go on like this, we have to fight back!"

Wu Fanqian's agent was walking around the room, but Wu Fanqian himself was playing with his mobile phone calmly, with an obscene smile on his face from time to time.

After hearing his agent's words, he calmed down a bit and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, a person's time and energy are limited."

"Ro-Woon has spent so much time and energy training his acting skills that it's impossible for him to achieve much in aerospace technology. That toy car is his limit."

"Even that toy car might not have been designed and manufactured by him, but by someone else. After all, I'm too familiar with character design."

"Even someone as talented as me is only unbeatable in singing and dancing. As for my acting skills, I can only say 'I will work hard to improve', but it's basically impossible."

"After all, a person's time and energy are limited."

The agent nodded when he heard this, it was indeed true.

They are all in the entertainment industry, so they know each other.

But he still said: "Actually, regardless of whether it's a character creation or not, the other party's marketing method is indeed very clever, and it directly benefited from the national propaganda."

"This caused us to lose our number one star ranking last year, which is somewhat detrimental to our development this year..."

Wu Fanqian knew what the agent meant, and he was quite unhappy about it.

The most important thing for a traffic star is popularity, with this, they have everything.

Before the star rankings came out at the end of last year, Wu Fanqian, Li Yifeng, Lu Han, Zhang Yixing, Yang Yang and others were fighting each other fiercely.

Not only do fans fight each other, but each company also spends a lot of resources to increase the popularity of its own stars.

At that time, Wu Fan felt that he had the advantage!
After all, he had several movies released last year.

First, he played the leading male role in "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" co-starring Stephen Chow and Xu Ke, and won the Spring Festival box office championship.

Although it was overtaken by "Kung Fu Yoga" after the Spring Festival.

But it doesn’t matter, because next he will star in two international blockbusters: "xXx: Return of xXx" and "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets"!
Other competitors don’t have films of this level.

He is on two variety shows at the same time, one is a permanent guest on "The 72-Story Tower" and the other is a mentor on "The Rap of China".

There are also a large number of endorsements, advertisements, magazine covers, interviews, etc.

It can be said that he has been dominating the charts for many years and is always in front of people!
Even if other people are doing it with great fanfare, the message he receives is that "I have my hands in my pockets and don't know what an opponent is"!
Wu Fanqian is actually not worried about Lu Yun, because Lu Yun’s problem is that “he has too few roles.”

The third male lead in "Wolf Warrior 2" has too few scenes, and many people feel that the nearly 60 billion box office has little to do with him.

Another problem is that "there are too few scenes in front of the public", with only one movie and one variety show, and no advertisements.

If people have never seen you, how can they know who you are and how can they provide you with traffic?

Unexpectedly, there was a surprise attack at the end of the year!

And a big one came directly!
In just a few days, they overshadowed the whole year's worth of Wu Fan signing them. They were fighting over it and ended up becoming clowns, letting Lu Yun reap the benefits.

Fans also often sigh.

Alas, picking peaches, alas, it’s so sad.

Traffic stars live on their popularity, and popularity is everything. Once their popularity is suppressed, all traffic will be concentrated on the top. Various top endorsements, film and television dramas, and magazines will not look for second-rate traffic stars.

Without the support of various "top-level" figures, the status of traffic stars will become lower and lower, forming a vicious cycle until collapse.

"...You now need a more upscale identity and persona. Just being a singer or actor isn't enough. The fashion brand plan we envisioned earlier needs to be brought forward."

The agent said to Wu Fanqian, "Since you have a certain interest in jewelry design, we will create a persona for you as a 'top international jewelry designer'. We will first spend money to find a true international master to collaborate with, and then you can participate in the design process, using the international master to elevate your status."

"Also, participate in more international fashion exhibitions and win some awards. No matter what the finished product is like, your fans will definitely buy it crazily."

"Now that you've gained fame and sales, your new persona will be established..."

Wu Fanqian and his agent were discussing countermeasures when his assistant came in to report the news. "I asked some reporters on the scene, and they all said that Lu Yun stood aside the entire time. He wasn't the one introducing the entire production base or giving the order to ignite the engines. He was only allowed to give a PowerPoint presentation. Maybe Blue Star Aerospace is using his 'space star' persona to promote him..."

Wu Fanqian and his agent nodded when they heard this. That should be it, because Wu Fanqian also took on similar promotional work.

After explaining the situation, the assistant took out a note and showed it to the agent: "The consultation fee for this consultation is 58,060. Please sign it."

The agent took a casual look and signed, and the assistant immediately smiled after leaving and closing the door.

This order made another 50,000!
Asking "some" reporters actually means asking three.

At the same time, the reporters who received consulting fees were also very happy. They could earn thousands of dollars just by saying a few words about what they saw.

As for taking the consulting fee and then investigating the truth of the incident in detail...is that what a journalist should do?

It's good that they said what they saw with their own eyes. At least they didn't make it up while sitting in an air-conditioned room.

The agent, having learned the "real situation," nodded and said, "It's a sure thing. I'm sure I'll beat him this year."

"Then go ahead and arrange it," Wu Fanqian said confidently, arms folded. "Beating him isn't the key; getting back first place is!"

………………

“That’s the key!”

Yu Xingchen pointed to the rocket paint tank on the blueprint and said to Lu Yun, "The fuel tank design is too extreme. There is currently no corresponding equipment on the market that can quickly manufacture it."

"Although the 3.35-meter fuel tank technology in aerospace systems is very mature, they all focus on stability, so the fuel tanks are relatively thick and cannot have a common bottom. As a result, they are not only heavy in the air but also have a small amount of fuel to carry."

"We now have two options. One is to abandon market procurement and switch to self-development, but that would take a long time and the first flight this year would be impossible."

"Even if we insist on having a thin and light tank with a common bottom, the first flight next year will be in jeopardy."

"Another option is to adopt a mature conservative design within the aerospace system, which can ensure the first flight time, but the rocket's carrying capacity will be greatly reduced."

"And it goes against our philosophy of 'technological integration and rapid R&D'."

Lu Yun frowned when he heard this.

Because he fully considered "future knowledge" when designing the Wanhu rocket, and now there are indeed manufacturers with the technology to manufacture common bottom tanks for rockets, so he added it to the design.

But Yu Xingchen said that there was no such thing in the world.

Could it be that the world line changes frequently and it has disappeared?
And the most important thing is that Lu Yun has a vague memory of the future of his previous life, and he has forgotten which family it was.

Lu Yun pinched his brows. The continuous technical breakthroughs made him a little tired, but when he thought about the fact that his aerospace engineering was about to break through to level 5, and that a lot of knowledge would surely emerge after the upgrade, he didn't think this was a big problem.

Even if there is a problem, at worst we can use a conservative solution and the rocket will still be usable and able to fly.

At most, it's just that the boasting didn't come true, which is a bit embarrassing.

In other words, he didn't know about the series of tricks Wu Fan had done to sign them, otherwise there would definitely not be any internal friction.

All they can do is complain that "the world is really just a huge makeshift team."

It is normal for a makeshift team to have changes, loopholes, and even bugs.

"Then put it aside for now. I'll think about it carefully and skip it to tackle the next node."

As Lu Yun was speaking, he thought of something: "By the way, don't forget to stop work for half a day tomorrow and watch the live broadcast of the Falcon Heavy's maiden flight together."

"Its maiden flight will accomplish the feat of recovering three core-stage rockets simultaneously, which may provide some inspiration for our recovery efforts."

"If it succeeds, it will be the most powerful rocket in service."

Yu Xingchen nodded: "I haven't forgotten, the notice has been issued, everyone is very interested..."
