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

The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 continues to rake in high ratings on Jiangsu Satellite TV.

Meanwhile, the production team for "American Dreams in China" has also been fully assembled.

It has to be said that although my uncle Liu Jun seems unreliable and irresponsible all the time, he is a master at producing films!

They acted swiftly and efficiently, setting up the entire production team in just one month, with everything from the location and props to the personnel arrangements clearly planned.

As September drew to a close, the production team officially prepared to begin filming.

The opening ceremony was very simple. Gu Heng never bothered with any fancy formalities; he simply set up an offering table in a corner, sliced ​​a roast suckling pig, lit a few incense sticks, and that was it.

Even if he wanted to keep a low profile, those big capitalists outside wouldn't allow it.

On the day filming began, Han Sanping, Da Wang, Xiao Wang, Yu Dong from Bona Film Group, and Wang Changtian from Enlight Media were all present!

They insisted on supporting Director Gu.

It's said that a big show took place at Huayi a couple of days ago.

When Wang Zhongjun returned, he discussed with Xiao Gangpao the matter of exchanging 20% ​​of the shares of "If You Are the One" for investment in "Partners".

Little Cannon smashed his newly bought purple clay teacup to pieces right there in the office!

Pointing at Wang Zhongjun's nose, he spat wildly: "This is utterly unethical! Using my hard work to lick Gu Heng's boots! What the hell am I? A stepping stone?!"

It's well known that Xiao Gangpao has a notoriously fiery temper in the industry; if you anger him, it's common for him to berate investors.

But capitalists have such thick skin!

Wang Zhongjun pretended not to hear, wiped the spittle off his face, and walked away with a grin.

The contract's already signed, what can you do to me? If you're so capable, then don't film it!

Gu Heng was indifferent to the arrival of these big shots.

So what if they're here? It's just a matter of cutting a few more ribbons. Besides, these billionaire CEOs can't very well come empty-handed, can they?

You should at least bring some beer, peanuts, melon seeds, and drinks to the crew as a token of your appreciation.

After a simple ceremony, filming for "The Partners" officially began.

The first scene filmed was the one where Cheng Dongqing, Meng Xiaojun, and Wang Yang meet at university.

When Huang Xiaoming came out of the dressing room after his makeup was done, Gu Heng, who was sitting behind the monitor, almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Holy crap... this is so tacky!

Thick-rimmed black glasses, a greasy, outdated hairstyle, and an old, faded jacket.

Gu Heng couldn't help but complain in his heart: It seems that none of Huang Xiaoming's roles in any of his films are good! His cameo in "Stone" was also incredibly tacky.

However, Brother Xiaoming is a good person to get along with, and he really doesn't skimp on his work.

Moreover, he was incredibly handsome, and despite his many years of experience in the entertainment industry, he never had any scandals and maintained a good reputation within the industry.

His taste in choosing girlfriends is just incomprehensible!

Gu Heng genuinely didn't see anything good about Yang Tianbao.

Aside from being decent-looking, he's good for nothing but causing trouble. Brother Xiaoming is completely blinded by greed.

Speaking of girlfriends, there is another key female character in this drama, namely Meng Xiaojun's wife, Liang Qin.

Gu Heng simply went with the flow and gave the role to Sun Li.

As a result, the entire production team's style instantly went astray.

In the original script, Meng Xiaojun was portrayed as an aloof, elite intellectual who had returned from overseas.

But when Deng Chao has a scene with Liang Qin, in front of Sun Li, he acts like a conspicuous bag!

The way he looked at me, the smug look on his face, it was unbearable to watch.

"Cut!" Gu Heng, holding a megaphone, shouted to stop with a dark face.

"Hey Chao, you're playing Meng Xiaojun, not some street thug! Can you tone down that smug look on your face?"

Gu Heng has said it several times: whenever he acts with his wife, he goes on a dog-food-like display of affection, making Huang Xiaoming and Tong Dawei next to him roll their eyes.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the infamous Demon Orb of later generations.

After reprimanding Deng Chao, Gu Heng then buried himself in his work. With the entire crew's cooperation, the filming progressed rapidly.

However, during his secluded filming period, a major international event caught Gu Heng's attention.

Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank in the United States, has declared bankruptcy!

Everything exploded!

The financial tsunami triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis has finally erupted.

This led to a frenzy of foreign institutions withdrawing their funds and cashing out in the domestic stock market, resulting in an unprecedented plunge in A-shares.

The market was a sea of ​​red, and countless investors lined up to jump off rooftops. Keep in mind that at the end of last year, the market peaked at an astonishing 6124 points!

And now?

Damn it, they can't even hold 1600 points! It's absolutely horrific.

Gu Heng watched the news and took a leisurely sip of his tea.

It all comes down to my own wisdom and prowess!

Last year, at the peak of the frenzy, I decisively liquidated my holdings, cashed out 15 billion yuan, and then poured it all into domestic physical cinema chains.

Looking back now, if that money were still in the stock market, it probably wouldn't even have a pair of underwear left.

After 20 days of intensive filming in Beijing, the university scenes were basically completed.

As planned, the crew packed their bags and headed to Qingdao to prepare for filming the later entrepreneurial scenes.

Just then, Yang Mi didn't have any announcements coming up. The little fox was bored being alone in Beijing, so she packed a few suitcases and happily flew to Qingdao with Gu Heng.

She had never been to Qingdao before, and everything was new and exciting to her.

My first day in Qingdao.

Seeing that the crew had been working non-stop for almost a month and everyone was exhausted, Gu Heng waved his hand.

"The entire crew has a day off today. Go relax and unwind; it's on me!"

The staff and actors below cheered immediately, and Huang Xiaoming even shouted that Director Gu was very generous.

After getting rid of the crew of third wheels, Gu Heng, holding his little fox's hand, put on sunglasses and a baseball cap, and the two of them quietly slipped out of the hotel.

What can I do in Qingdao?

Of course, you should go to Zhanqiao Pier to feel the sea breeze, then find a street food stall and experience the authentic old Qingdao life.

As evening approached, a gentle sea breeze blew.

Gu Heng and Yang Mi sat in a roadside food stall, the table was full of freshly grilled seafood, and there were two large jugs of cold draft beer next to them.

"Here, try this!" Gu Heng peeled a mantis shrimp and stuffed it directly into Yang Mi's mouth.

The little fox's cheeks were stuffed full, its eyes squinted into crescents with laughter, and it mumbled indistinctly, "Delicious, delicious! This is much better than the restaurants in the capital."

Then he picked up his plastic cup and clinked it with Gu Heng's.

Drink beer! Eat clams!

Life is full of joy.
