This star is going to the moon

Chapter 548 "Operation Jiaolong" Seeking Investment? Lu Yun: "Don't come to me!"

Director: "Cut! Filming wrapped on 'Go to Where the Wind Blows'!"

Upon hearing the director say this, Lu Yun and An Fangfei instantly relaxed their expressions and smiled at each other.

Other extras and crew members all started having fun.

"Oh oh oh oh!"

"Filming is finally wrapped up!"

"So tired!"

"I'm going to sleep for two days straight!"

"Oh dear, we've finally finished filming another TV series."

"This filming was relatively easy, and the atmosphere on set was great. I really benefited from acting alongside Lu Shen and Sister Fei."

"We're about to part ways, and I want to find Lu Shen and Sister Fei to take a group photo..."

"I want to too, together..."

Lu Yun and An Fangfei readily agreed to take photos together, which is a common practice when filming wraps up. After everything is done, there's a wrap-up cake and a wrap-up party.

After taking the group photo, while the crew was still packing up, Lu Yun and An Fangfei went to the riverbank.

Because they needed to film the final scenes, the crew applied to the scenic area for a few days to close off this small area for filming, and now there are no tourists disturbing the area.

Looking at the beautiful scenery of Yunnan, An Fangfei asked Lu Yun, "So you didn't take on any roles for more than a year after that?"

"more or less."

Lu Yun picked up a pebble and weighed it in his hand: "If a good movie asks me to make a cameo appearance, I might go and film for a day or two, just to take a break."

"I definitely won't take on those important roles that take several months to film."

"After all, our country will be carrying out the manned lunar landing mission that the whole nation is looking forward to in a year, so I want to put more of my energy into aerospace."

After Lu Yun finished speaking, he used a clever trick to throw the pebble into the river. An Fangfei watched as the pebble skipped across the water several times before sinking.

She tried to imitate Lu Yun and threw a pebble into the water, but it sank immediately. Frustrated, she kicked several pebbles into the water, creating a large splash.

Seeing this, Lu Yun clapped his hands and said, "Well done, what a beautiful fairy scattering flowers!"

He uttered words of praise, but the corners of his smiling eyes and mouth betrayed him, and An Fangfei immediately punched him in anger.

"Cough cough," Lu Yun said, grasping An Fangfei's small fist. "Why are you hitting me? I'm telling the truth."

"Although I'll be busy for the next year, I haven't forgotten the big event at the beginning of next year. But before that, I need you to be my 'fairy' and design and decorate the 'heavenly palace' we'll be using for our wedding."

An Fangfei naturally knew what Lu Yun was talking about, so her annoyed expression immediately turned into a mixture of shyness, nervousness, and anticipation.

One point left...

"Ooh-ma~"

An Fangfei took the initiative to kiss Lu Yun on the cheek.

The space hotel where the couple will get married has already launched three modules, and the last module will be launched in January next year to complete the construction.

However, before the couple holds their wedding in February, they need to decorate with some festive items, just like any other wedding, such as ribbons, double happiness symbols, and balloons.

Although there are commercial astronauts from companies who can help, it's still important to do some things yourself when it comes to your own wedding.

Especially the idea of ​​setting up a wedding venue in space...it's so romantic!
In fact, Lu Yun will focus his energy on aerospace next. An Fangfei won't be completely free after filming "With Wind"; she also has many things to do.

For example, the space hotel wedding decorations I just mentioned. The Spring Festival of 2023 is just over a month away, and the sequel to *The Wandering Earth 2*, *Lunar Crisis*, will be released during the Spring Festival season.

Because Lu Yun is busy with the manned lunar landing project, he will only attend the important press conference at the end of the year and will not participate in any subsequent promotional activities.

So, An Fangfei is the female lead, Lu Yun's girlfriend, and one of the film's investors, so she needs to put in a lot of effort.

In addition, An Fangfei couldn't imagine what it would be like to play an older woman or grandmother as she got older, so she has been moving behind the scenes in the past two years.

Her plan is to stop acting when she's no longer old enough to play a great beauty.

Speaking of this, An Fangfei remembered something and, while walking with Lu Yun, said, "Recently, Bona Film Group contacted me, wanting us to invest in their sequel to 'Operation Red Sea.' This time, the story goes directly to the sea, where the Jiaolong Commando team and a nuclear submarine are carrying out a deep-sea battle to protect world peace."

“I heard about their plans, and it seems they also intend to change the movie's name, since the story will no longer take place in the Red Sea, and it will also involve some near-future sci-fi equipment.”

"They said they wanted to change it to something like 'Operation Jiaolong,' and since you're so interested in science fiction movies and TV shows, so..."

Lu Yun: “…”

Isn't this the infamous flop movie "Operation Jiaolong" from the previous life?

Of course, Rowoon in his previous life did not participate in this flop movie.

After all, he was a complete flop at the time, and he wouldn't be able to participate in such a big-budget visual effects blockbuster.

He will not participate in this life either.

"Forget all that, I am interested in science fiction films and TV series, but that requires working with a reliable team that understands science fiction, and the 'Operation Red Sea' team..."

Lu Yun shook his head and said, "Judging from their previous works, they can do a passable job when they film active-duty military equipment and have the cooperation of the military."

"When it comes to imagining the future, all they probably know is to add a bunch of LED lights, and not even in the right places, resulting in just an empty shell of so-called 'science fiction'..."

An Fangfei nodded upon hearing this: "Actually, I also think it's not very reliable. Directors from Hong Kong always seem to struggle with these kinds of grand themes."

"What's more, Director Lin is getting old, he's a director from Hong Kong, and he's making big-budget films, so he has a lot of disadvantages..."

As long as her mother doesn't interfere, An Fangfei has a good eye for choosing films, and Lu Yun has taught her a lot over the years, which is why she is so confident in working behind the scenes.

Putting "Operation Jiaolong" aside, the two went on to do other things after attending the wrap party.

On December 18th, at the Qatar World Cup, Argentina defeated France in a penalty shootout to win the World Cup title again after 36 years!

The following day, the film "The Wandering Earth 2: Lunar Crisis" held a press conference at the Aerospace Museum, where all the main creators appeared.

At the press conference, everyone revealed many behind-the-scenes creative stories that were not covered in the previous episode.

For example, backed by Blue Star Aerospace Company and the domestic aerospace technology industry, many of the high-tech features used in the film are real technologies, not "science fiction" props.

Director Guo is most proud of the space footage he personally filmed in space, and he mentions it every time he is interviewed.

After all, for a film director, that was truly a first!
If it had been a few months later, the title of "first director to shoot a movie in space" would have belonged to someone else.

Just five months after filming wrapped on "The Ball 2", a film director and actress from Russia boarded a Soyuz spacecraft and entered the International Space Station for a twelve-day filming session.

In my previous life, this director was the one who earned this title.

The movie was called "The Challenge," and it told the story of a female surgeon performing surgery on an injured astronaut on a space station. It was even shown in China in 1924.

Despite its big name, it was a drama film with little promotion and only grossed a few million RMB at the domestic box office.

It only grossed a little over 20 million US dollars worldwide.

98% of them were internal box office revenue for the Russians.

In contrast, The Wandering Earth 2 is different; both parts of it have Hollywood guarantees for global distribution!
