Fang Zhao's application for military service on planet Baiji and his application had been approved. This caused a huge wave in Yanzhou's entertainment circle.
This was probably the first celebrity to voluntarily apply for a difficult military service project. Although Fang Zhao's rank was not high in the entertainment circle, his popularity in the past two weeks had not been low.
This was not entirely due to the Fiery Bird annual gala incident. Experienced people in the industry could tell at a glance that there was a team behind this hype. But they thought that Silver Wing's sensationalism was just a way to make its presence known before Fang Zhao left, so they let it be.
Just wait and see. In another month, when Fang Zhao entered the military district and began his military training, when all information about him was sealed off, no one would remember him. Silver Wing just wanted to squeeze every last bit of value out of Fang Zhao before his military service.
Regardless of what people outside thought, Fang Zhao bade farewell to Great-grandfather and Great-grandmother Fang after his application was approved. He left Yanbei and returned to Qi'an City. He then requested a flying transport from the company and brought Curly Hair to Muzhou.
Fang Zhao was about to leave for his military service and would only be back in a year. During this year, it was most appropriate to leave Curly Hair in Muzhou. Although there would be some inconveniences, at least Muzhou would have sufficient pastures and freedom. Muzhou people also had the best attitude toward dogs among the 12 continents. Furthermore, Su Hou's batch of puppies had not grown up yet. For the upcoming sheep-herding competition, Su Hou still planned to let Curly Hair lead the team. The new kennel had already been built and was just waiting for Fang Zhao to bring the dog over.
Before Memorial Day, the houses that had been damaged by the "accident" at Dongshan Farm could no longer be seen. The new residential houses were twice the size of the old ones. At the same time, the parking apron had been moved more than 200 meters away from the houses.
Su Hou told Fang Zhao about the plans for the coming year. After all, Dongshan Farm had Fang Zhao's investment. Even if Fang Zhao was not around for a year, Su Hou had to let Fang Zhao know about the farm's future plans.
By the time Fang Zhao left Muzhou and paid his respects to the martyrs' cemeteries in various continents, it was already mid-February. There were less than two weeks left before he left for Yanzhou's military training.
At this time, Fang Zhao rarely went to the company. He visited Old Master Xue Jing and went to the hospital to see Ming Cang's son, Ming Ye, who was still receiving treatment. On his way home that night, a piece of news popped up.
"According to the latest news from Huangzhou, the 'Project Starlight', which has been shelved for 50 years, can be promoted once again!"
Every year, after Memorial Day, the military leaders of all 12 continents would gather in Huangzhou to discuss key development issues or important policy decisions.
"Project Starlight" was a term that many youngsters might not have heard of. Some of the older people who did not pay attention to entertainment news would not have heard of it either.
The "stars" in Project Starlight referred to celebrities. Regardless of whether you were a sports star, an e-sports star, an actor, or a singer, they all belonged to this category.
The "Starlight Project" was first proposed by the Ministry of Education. Its purpose was to let celebrities play a good role in leading the way, thus guiding more young people to achieve more. But in the end, this plan could not really be implemented, because when the plan was in the experimental stage, there were too many shows, the capital competition was fierce, and the market was in chaos, so it had to be stopped. At that time, many people wondered how many years it would take for the Ministry of Education to restart this program again.
Who would have thought that it would be proposed by the head of the military this year!
The restart plan proposed by the head of the military would still have a testing phase, but the target of the test needed to be determined. For this reason, the heads of all 12 military districts had gathered candidates, and one of the three people recommended by Yanzhou was Fang Zhao.
After Project Starlight had been exposed, Duan Qianji had asked Fang Zhao for his opinion and if he was willing to continue to shine elsewhere. If Fang Zhao did not agree, then he could be eliminated in advance.
Fang Zhao agreed. If he was really selected, he could cooperate with the plan, but the prerequisite was that his military service application could not be changed and he would still be on planet Baiji.
Two days later, the results of the military leaders' discussion were out. Out of over 30 candidates, five were finally selected. Fang Zhao was one of them, and he was the only one among the five who had no military service experience.
Among the five celebrities, Fang Zhao had the lowest status in the entertainment circles and was the youngest.
Fang Zhao had been selected as the first batch of Project Starlight. As for why Fang Zhao had been selected? It was not just because he had been rather popular recently, but also because Fang Zhao had taken the initiative to apply.
It was rumored that when the heads of the various continents' military districts were finalizing the name list, an old general had seen Fang Zhao take the initiative to apply for military service on planet Baiji and had even praised him. "Young fellow, you have quite a high level of awareness! Worthy of praise! "
There was a big difference between taking the initiative to apply and being passively rejected.
This was what Duan Qianji meant when she said, "It might not be a bad thing."
After Project Starlight and the name list of the five chosen were announced, they dominated the headlines for three consecutive days. Silver Wing started to hype up the news again, and so did the companies behind the other candidates.
Some of Silver Wing's competitors, who had originally been in a relaxed mood, had thought that Fang Zhao would be gone for a year and disappear one by one. They had not expected that he would actually bring up Project Starlight again!
However, people in the outside world had different opinions about this.
Some people felt that Fang Zhao had come out just to put on a show, just like those other celebrities of the past.
There were also people who felt that Fang Zhao's spirit was praiseworthy, driving up Yogurt's numbers.
But there were also some people whose focus was different from others.
Singing and dancing actors could perform, but what about Fang Zhao? Was he going to lead planet Baiji's people in gaming? Or was he composing songs for planet Baiji's people?
The government hoped that such a popular celebrity could shine in another distant and frigid place.
"Fang Zhao, you have to lead the way. Whether this plan can really be implemented will all depend on your performance," Wayne said.
"What do I need to do?" Fang Zhao asked.
