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

As July arrived, Beijing came alive with activity, its streets and alleys adorned with red lanterns and Fuwa dolls.

Smiles appeared on everyone's faces, and a heartfelt sense of national pride radiated from each person.

Because the 08 Beijing Olympics are really coming!

During this period, the entertainment industry was unusually quiet.

All the major film and television companies and famous directors in the industry have tacitly chosen to remain inactive.

Those who have projects on hand should quickly put them aside; no one dares to compete with the Olympics for popularity at this critical juncture.

Unless he's incredibly stubborn and thinks his film isn't dying fast enough.

However, although the project was suspended, the artists still had plenty of activities.

Major brands and various commercial performances capitalizing on the Olympic hype are flying around like snowflakes.

Especially those celebrities who didn't get to appear in "Beijing Welcomes You" are now spending a fortune on press releases, trying to outshine this person today and that person tomorrow, all in an effort to make their presence felt during the Olympics.

To put it bluntly, it's just trying to piggyback on someone else's success.

The artists at Vision Entertainment are no exception.

Especially Yang Mi, this little fox is currently enjoying unparalleled popularity. She is now the only female lead in China to have garnered 4 million yuan in box office revenue.

His value skyrocketed.

Every day, brands come to Su Qing with increasingly higher prices, and they all have to consider her availability.

The little fox has been incredibly busy lately.

In contrast, Gu Heng seemed exceptionally relaxed.

Besides being lazy by nature and spending his days lounging in the courtyard playing with cats and drinking tea, the most crucial thing is... nobody wants to see him!

Given Director Gu's current status, no company would dare to hire him.

So, while everyone in the company was working themselves to the bone, Gu Heng settled into a life of leisure, essentially retiring early.

As time went on, the eyes of everyone in the world turned intently to the ancient East and to the domestic situation.

Finally, August 8th arrived.

Around 7 p.m., Gu Heng led a large group of people from Vision Entertainment and stormed into the scene.

Gu Heng's position was excellent, offering a clear view of the entire venue, which was specially arranged by the organizing committee.

The others were in good positions too, but where did they get their tickets?

Of course, it was Gu Heng who shamelessly asked Zhang Yimou for it.

Yang Mi was wearing a red tracksuit today, sitting obediently next to Gu Heng, holding a small national flag in her hand, her face flushed with excitement.

8:00 PM.

As the countdown ended, the opening ceremony officially began!

A deafening roar suddenly erupted in the night sky.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Twenty-nine giant firework footprints rose step by step from Yongdingmen, crossed Beijing's central axis, passed Tiananmen Square, and stepped into the sky above the Bird's Nest, transforming into a shower of stars!

"Holy crap..."

"Awesome!"

A collective gasp erupted around Gu Heng; even the most illiterate people in the entertainment industry, with their extremely limited vocabulary, could only express their shock with those two words.

Immediately afterwards, the lights suddenly blazed on, and two thousand and eight strong men in the center of the venue beat drums and sang in unison.

"Isn't it a joy to have friends coming from afar?"

Previously, the whole world was hoping to see China make a fool of itself, but now they're hoping for an unexpected turn of events in Beijing.

But Zhang Yimou's move shocked the whole world.

Although Gu Heng had seen it on television in his previous life, he was still quite shocked at this moment.

If you asked him to manage a large-scale operation involving tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of meticulous steps, he believes he absolutely could not do it.

That night, the viewership ratings for the Beijing Olympics broke global records.

Zhang Yimou has achieved legendary status by riding this wave of incredible popularity, with a large number of netizens already hailing him as the "National Master."

While everyone outside is celebrating, Vision Entertainment has been silent on film and television investment for more than half a year. It's time for them to make some moves.

At Tangren Media, Cai Yinong's relentless post-production work on "Chinese Paladin 3" is finally finished!

When Gu Heng received the call, he could hear Aunt Cai slamming her fist on the table even through the receiver.

She was truly frustrated!

When "Mr. Tree" was a huge hit.

At the time, Cai Yinong was eager to take advantage of the situation and capitalize on the popularity of Vision.

They didn't even get a hair on their head!

I finally finished the film, and hey, it's going to be released during the Olympics.

Who the hell can I complain to about this?

"Alright, Mr. Cai, calm down."

"In the current climate, even if you spend a hundred million to buy trending topics, you won't make a ripple. Listen to me, follow the normal procedure. Once this storm passes, the show will start airing in September, and the buzz will naturally come."

Although Cai Yinong was furious, she knew this was the safest solution at the moment, so she could only grit her teeth and agree.

As a result, Tangren could only release some materials in the early stages, and dared not even buy too many trending topics, just keeping things hanging.

Although Tangren Media was extremely restrained in its early promotional efforts, no one in the industry dared to underestimate this drama.

But no one in the industry dares to underestimate this show.

With Vision and Tangren joining forces, and starring the currently incredibly popular Gu Heng family members and Hu Ge, it would be a miracle if this drama flopped.

Gu Heng is invincible in investing, he has never lost... No, wait!

It still has blemishes!

Jiang Wen's film, "The Sun Also Rises".

Thinking of this, many of the veterans in the industry couldn't help but let out extremely villainous pig-like squeals in their beds late at night.

These people didn't dare to offend Gu Heng openly, after all, the 4.7 million was still there to keep things under control, but that didn't stop them from secretly using this matter to undermine each other in their small circles and on anonymous forums.

Jiang Wen's film was artistic, but in the eyes of capital, it was a beautiful but huge pitfall.

As the story spread, it eventually reached the person's ears.

Two days later, Jiang Wen, sporting a buzz cut and carrying a tattered briefcase, strode into Vision Entertainment.

The old man's eyes were wide open, and he exuded a murderous aura that seemed ready to devour anyone.

"Gu Heng! Look at the bullshit those bastards are spouting online!"

Jiang Wen slammed his bag down on Gu Heng's desk. "I can't take it anymore! I can't even eat if I keep this pent-up anger inside!"

Gu Heng poured a cup of tea and pushed it towards him: "Uncle Jiang, calm down. It's just a few flies buzzing around, is it really worth getting so angry?"

"Flies? Those are shitting on my neck!"

Jiang Wen picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "I think I've figured it out now. This industry just needs to be taught a lesson."

"I've thought about what I told you before. I have a rough idea now, so let's put together the notebook."

"This time, I'm going to use the box office to slap those guys' faces to pieces!"
