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

In the days that followed, the entire crew settled down in Qingdao.

The little fox has been really free lately, so she simply became Gu Heng's full-time sidekick on the film set.

On set, Yang Mi could often be seen carrying a thermos cup, following Gu Heng around happily.

"Director Gu, thank you for your hard work!"

"Director Gu, have some tea~"

That childlike, sweet voice, paired with those blinking, fox-like eyes, would make you think it was some new actress openly trying to seduce the director.

The seasoned veterans in the crew saw through it but didn't say anything, each one suppressing their laughter. Who the hell would dare to meddle in the boss's wife's business?

The filming then moved on to the pivotal scene where Cheng Dongqing gives a speech to hundreds of students.

All the extras were real college students that Liu Jun recruited from local universities in Qingdao. They were paid 30 yuan a day plus a boxed lunch, and the students were overjoyed.

Yang Mi suddenly got excited and insisted on dragging Gu Heng to change clothes so they could mingle in the crowd and act as extras.

Gu Heng sat on the long bench below, watching Yang Mi next to him pretending to take notes with a notebook, and couldn't help but mentally rant about it.

Holy crap... you're a senior this year!

He didn't spend many days at the Beijing Film Academy, and he skipped classes more often than anyone else. Now he's here to indulge his studying addiction?

It's outrageous!

On stage, Brother Xiaoming was still giving a passionate speech.

It has to be said that Huang Xiaoming really went all out for this film.

Lately, I've been spending every day in the hotel with a tape recorder, obsessively practicing pronunciation, even dreaming about memorizing words.

It's worth noting that he's known in the industry as a workaholic, and he's put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.

Gu Heng sat in the audience listening, and he was amazed that the accent he had practiced was actually quite accurate, with a touch of deliberate affectation, which perfectly matched the character of Cheng Dongqing.

But as Gu Heng listened, he felt something was off. Then, at a certain emotional climax, Xiaoming's pronunciation became extremely standard and fluent.

Gu Heng sighed immediately, feeling utterly bored!

Without that classic line from "Nao Tai Tao," Huang Xiaoming's English seems to have lost a certain soul!

Without those memorable moments that people would talk about, Gu Heng felt that Xiaoming was incomplete.

He even considered yelling "cut" halfway through so that Xiaoming would deliberately tell him to go off-topic.

But thinking about it, I decided against it and decided not to ruin his reputation. If I really created a black history that would be ridiculed by the entire internet, those five hot pot meals would probably be in jeopardy.

After spending a full month and a half in Qingdao, the domestic scenes for "The Partner" have finally wrapped up smoothly. Next, the entire crew will have to travel to New York City for location shooting.

Just before Gu Heng packed his bags, preparing to lead his team to America.

Good news has come from Vision Entertainment.

Lu Yang finally made it through the tough times, slamming the final version of the "Brotherhood of Blades" script onto Su Qing's desk with dark circles under his eyes.

For his first film as a director, this guy really put in a lot of effort, even pulling out a small patch of hair.

Once the project was approved, Gu Heng handed over all investment matters to Su Qing.

As soon as the project was hinted at, the CEOs of film and television companies outside flocked to it.

However, this time only China Film Group and Enlight Media were allowed to participate.

One company took a 20% share, while Visionary, the main controller, held the majority stake—a clean and efficient move.

On the day the contract was signed, Han Sanping looked at Su Qing and Lu Yang across from him and couldn't help but gasp.

He immediately called Gu Heng, his tone full of disbelief: "Mr. Gu, you've got some nerve! This is a 3000 million yuan project, and you just handed it over to a newbie to practice on without even blinking? In the entire industry, only you, Gu Heng, would dare to do something like this!"

With the phone between his fingers, Gu Heng directed Wang Gang to load the luggage into the car, all the while laughing carelessly, "Chairman Han, money can't buy my happiness."

Subsequently, Gu Heng led his large crew directly to America.
