Reborn in the Chinese Entertainment Industry: My Childhood Sweetheart is Boss Yang

Not long after Han Sanping took the film away, the film's production license was approved like a rocket.

That's how efficient that bandit leader from China Film Group is. If he says he'll give you the green light, then you'll have no trouble getting through!

Vision Entertainment was equally uncompromising. Su Qing immediately followed the previously agreed-upon publicity strategy, releasing various press releases and posters across the entire internet.

By this time, it was already nearing the end of the year.

Film and television companies and talent agencies in the industry are all starting to organize high-end annual parties. Female celebrities are competing to outshine each other by borrowing dresses to walk the red carpet. They're practically beating dogs out of their minds.

Gu Heng sat in his office: "What a load of rubbish about an annual party! Renting the venue is free? Hiring a MC is free? Instead of wasting time on this, why not just convert the money into cash and give it to the guys!"

Isn't the point of working hard to earn a few coins?

Celebrate however you like, but wouldn't it be better to take the money home and buy some ribs for your wife and kids?

Throughout 07, Vision achieved great success in both film and television production and investment, making a fortune.

When the finance department deposited the generous bonus into everyone's accounts, the entire team at Vision Group erupted in cheers, their eyes red with tears as they exclaimed:

"We can never repay Mr. Gu's kindness in this lifetime!"

After distributing the money, Yuanjian happily took a vacation.

Gu Heng spent a very simple Spring Festival this year.

As usual, the Gu and Yang families gathered in the courtyard.

Since Gu Heng moved into this courtyard house, both families have basically spent all their holidays, big and small, here.

Anyway, there are many rooms and the place is big.

Of course, they only came to the courtyard house in the last few days.

How could Gu Heng and Yang Mi's affair possibly be kept secret from Comrade Yang, a veteran police officer who had spent his entire life in the line of duty?

Before long, he keenly realized that his own beautiful and juicy cabbage had been eaten by the pig, and the two of them had been sleeping together for a long time!

But what can we do?

Young people these days are really wild. Comrade Yang took a few deep breaths and, adhering to the principle of "out of sight, out of mind," let them be.

It's a good thing these two kids are both over twenty, otherwise Old Yang would have had to pull out Seven Wolves to give that brat Gu Heng a good beating!

On New Year's Eve, the two families enjoyed a happy reunion.

The courtyard was filled with red lanterns, and Yang Mi clung to Gu Heng like a pendant, calling him "Gu Heng" over and over again, making it sickeningly sweet.

Gu Heng let the girl cause trouble, and drank two glasses of Moutai with his father-in-law and his own father. Then the two families gathered around the TV to make dumplings and watch the Spring Festival Gala.

This simple, everyday life is exactly what Gu Heng wants most.

Gu Heng had only been enjoying his comfortable time in the courtyard house for a few days when his phone suddenly rang.

When I picked it up, the caller ID showed it was Zhang Yimou.

Gu Heng was a little puzzled. This national advisor was usually so busy that he was rarely seen. Why was he calling him now?

Without wasting any words on the phone, Zhang Yimou simply gave him an address and told him to come over.

It's not that crappy place called New Picture, it's the damn Olympic Games planning team!

When Gu Heng arrived at the destination, he went through multiple security checks before finally meeting this big shot.

With his hair all messy, Zhang Yimou got straight to the point and stated his purpose.

"I called you here to take over the production of a music video, 'Beijing Welcomes You'."

That's right, it's the song that swept the nation, "Beijing Welcomes You"!

Gu Heng was secretly pleased after hearing this.

This song was commissioned directly from musician Ke Zhaolei (Xiao Ke) by the organizing committee. So, if you have the chance to travel back in time and want to plagiarize this song, then work towards that goal!

Zhang Yimou took a drag of his cigarette and explained, "The cast for this song is finalized, with over a hundred stars from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The higher-ups require it to have spirit and energy, so we need to find someone with considerable influence to anchor the production."

you do not say!

To keep these hundred-plus usually arrogant celebrities in check, most directors wouldn't dare take on this job.

But who is Gu Heng?

Venice Golden Lion Award winner! Newly minted billionaire director! Boss of Vision Entertainment!

More importantly, Gu Heng's impression of him was absolutely fantastic.

Zhang Yimou strongly recommended Gu Heng, and the higher-ups approved it immediately after seeing it.

Gu Heng stroked his chin, then, without any hesitation, looked at Zhang Yimou with a smile: "Director Zhang, you see, over a hundred people have arrived. Adding a few more... is that alright?"

Such a good thing naturally deserves the help of those with foresight.

Zhang Yimou rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to his arrogance: "You're the director and I'm the director? Here's the list, figure it out yourself!"

Alright! That's exactly what I wanted to hear!

When the news reached the courtyard, the little fox Yang Mi was so happy that she jumped up from the sofa and hugged Gu Heng's neck, nibbling at him several times.

Once Su Qing finalized the schedules with the agents of various celebrities, filming began in earnest.

The first person to appear on camera was a little girl who sang the first line, "Welcoming another sunrise, bringing fresh air."

The moment he opened his mouth, it was just right.

In the days that followed, Gu Heng transformed into a ruthless attendance machine, going through one celebrity after another on the assembly line.

Each person only gets a pitiful few sentences, which can be dealt with in a short time.

Most people treated Gu Heng with utmost respect and smiles.

No one dared to act arrogantly in front of this rising star.

However, the day that made Gu Heng most nervous during the entire filming process was the day he filmed Xie Tingfeng.

When Xie Tingfeng walked into the recording studio with his assistant, the entire crew fell silent for a few seconds.

Everyone secretly glanced at this cool young man out of the corner of their eye.

No sooner had Teacher Chen's photo caused a huge uproar than this guy brazenly showed up to record a music video, acting like nothing had happened.

Not only did he not show any signs of dejection, but he also came over to Gu Heng with a laugh and offered him cigarettes.

"Gu Heng, long time no see!" Xie Tingfeng laughed heartlessly.

Gu Heng accepted the cigarette with a blank expression, but in his mind, he was already furiously ranting.

Damn, this guy has a really big heart!

Your underwear has been all over the internet, and you're still smiling so broadly at me.

If it weren't for the scheduling conflict, Gu Heng really wanted to call Andy Lau and drag him over to sing him a heartfelt rendition of "Men, Cry, It's Not a Crime"!

"Alright, get to your position." Gu Heng smirked and waved for him to take his place.

The filming ended in less than ten minutes.

Xie Tingfeng waved his hand dismissively and led his team away.

From Gu Heng to the assistant director, and down to the crew members carrying equipment and distributing lunch boxes, everyone on set stopped what they were doing.

Dozens of eyes turned to him, offering the highest level of attention as he got into the car and left.

Everyone's numb.

Is this the ultimate stress resistance in the entertainment industry?
