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

Gu Heng's scenes are now completely finished, but Lu Yang still has to lead the crew to tackle the tough challenges ahead.

Next up is the decisive battle between Shen Lian and Zhao Jingzhong.

Since Gu Heng had nothing better to do, he simply wrapped himself in his military overcoat, squatted behind the monitor, and watched the show while eating sunflower seeds.

Logically speaking, the weapons of each character in a martial arts film are an extension of their personality.

Like Ding Xiu's long Miao sword, it exudes a wild, unrestrained, and ruthless aura.

Jin Yichuan's twin swords emphasize agility and versatility.

But when it comes to Zhao Jingzhong, you're a eunuch from the Eastern Depot, your crotch is completely empty, yet you pull out a long spear during a fight?!

"Was that gun given to you by Zhao Zilong?"

"They really do compensate for whatever they lack."

Despite his complaints, Gu Heng was too lazy to revise the script.

Anyway, Nie Yuan looks quite imposing wielding this big spear. As long as the visual effects are good, that's fine. The most important thing is that the audience enjoys watching it.

Not long after, filming of "Brotherhood of Blades" wrapped up smoothly, and the crew returned to Beijing with their belongings.

"Boss, I'm going to get back to work. Do as you please."

Lu Yang plunged into the company's editing room, ready to fight tooth and nail with the post-production team.

Gu Heng didn't have time to rest either; he immediately joined the crew of "The Founding of a Republic".

This tribute film, primarily controlled by China Film Group, was a huge success under Han Sanping's direction.

Every day, a group of paparazzi and reporters with long lenses and microphones would squat outside the film crew's location.

Nonsense! Over a hundred A-list celebrities participated without receiving any payment. This lineup would generate nuclear-level buzz anywhere!

The roles of these big names were finalized well before the new year.

At the time, Han Sanping specifically wanted to arrange a key role for him with many scenes and screen time.

Without even thinking, Gu Heng shook his head vigorously and refused outright.

What kind of international joke is this?

How old is he? If he were to force himself to have more scenes in a movie of this caliber, wouldn't he be drowned in the spittle of the entire nation when the movie is released?

So Gu Heng chose a minor role as a People's Liberation Army soldier for himself, just to show his face and salute.

Even Liu Yifei, who had recently changed her nationality back to Chinese following Gu Heng's advice, and other artists under Vision Entertainment, were relegated to minor roles with only a few seconds of screen time, such as soldiers or student representatives.

Just be honest and get your face known. If you really want to act like a big shot, this crew has plenty of big shots!

As Gu Heng stepped into the internal conference room of China Film Group, Han Sanping, who was chatting with several bigwigs, immediately brightened up and waved with a smile: "Hey, Little Gu's here! We were just talking about you. Just got back from Inner Mongolia, why don't you take a couple of days off?"

Gu Heng pulled out a chair and sat down, casually picking up a bottle of mineral water from the table, unscrewing it, and taking a sip: "No need, Uncle. Let's strike while the iron is hot and get started."

This time, the scenes that Han Sanping assigned to Gu Heng to direct were the very beginning of the film.

The war of resistance against Japan had just ended, and the Chongqing negotiations were on the eve of their conclusion.

This scene is the opening of the entire movie, used to set the tone.

So when Gu Heng sat in the director's chair, almost all the directors and actors who weren't in scenes came to watch. Among them were quite a few celebrities holding foreign passports.

Gu Heng couldn't help but chuckle at the mention of this.

The biggest controversy surrounding the movie "Past Life" wasn't the plot at all, but rather the fact that when the cast list came out, the screen was filled with overseas Chinese participating in a film commemorating the founding of the People's Republic of China!

This became a major target of ridicule across the internet at the time.

This was also the fundamental reason why Gu Heng wanted Liu Yifei to change her nationality back.

This girl was relentlessly attacked by haters in her past life because of her skin. Gu Heng's actions can be seen as taking precautions to prevent a major disaster for his best friend from the hotpot group.

The filming went exceptionally smoothly.

Gu Heng is facing off against Tang Guoqiang, who plays a teacher. His presence is so powerful that most people can't handle it.

All I can say is that he truly lives up to his reputation as the legendary Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand Cheng Kun!

Back when he played Cheng Kun in the Alec Su version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", he exuded a cunning and scheming air. Now, he plays the Chairman of the National Assembly with a unique charm!

What's even more interesting is that, coincidentally, the actor who played his son Chiang Ching-kuo was none other than Chen Kun!

After filming for several days, Gu Hengqian decisively called it a day off.

The onlookers, upon seeing the coordination, efficiency, and camera work, all secretly gave it a thumbs up.

This kid's success didn't come out of nowhere; he really has a lot of hard currency in his hands!

He deserves to earn that money!

After finishing his directorial work and playing a People's Liberation Army soldier for a few days, Gu Heng finally made his retirement, taking his little fox, who hadn't had enough fun yet, directly back to the Beijing Film Academy.

Why go back to school?

Because it's 09 now, and these two should be graduating by now!

With graduation season fast approaching, the graduation thesis is an unavoidable hurdle.

On the way back to school, Yang Mi sat in the passenger seat, biting her nails with a worried expression: "Gu Heng, have you decided what to write for your graduation thesis?"

The acting and directing departments at Beijing Film Academy have never had fixed topics for their theses; it's entirely up to you what you want to write. It's the kind of place that gives you freedom but leaves you completely clueless.

While steering the car, Gu Heng said nonchalantly, "What's there to think about? I'll just do a side-by-side analysis of the script for 'Partners' and submit it as a thesis."

Speaking of "American Dreams in China," this movie recently finished its theatrical run. Its final box office gross was 4.6 million yuan!

Although it did not reach the box office of more than 5 million yuan when it was released in 2013.

But this is 2009! How much was the total market capitalization back then?

When this result was released, it shocked countless people both inside and outside the industry!

Upon hearing Gu Heng's Versailles-like remark, Yang Mi's eyes widened instantly, her lips pouting so much they could hang an oil bottle: "Huh? You're using a movie with a 4.6 million box office as your graduation thesis?! What am I supposed to do?! My brain is a complete mess right now, I have absolutely no ideas!"

Gu Heng said, "What can I do? It's too late for me to open one for you now."

Finally, the little fox used its traditional skills.

If you're unsure what to do, go to Aunt Cui.

Half an hour later, the two of them easily slipped into the office of their homeroom teacher, Cui Xinqin.

Teacher Cui, who hadn't seen Yang Mi for quite some time, greeted her two most outstanding students with a kind smile.

But when Yang Mi leaned closer, hugged her arm, and started to act coquettishly, subtly expressing her predicament of having "no clue" about her graduation thesis...

The smile on Teacher Cui's face vanished instantly.

Sure enough, Aunt Cui rolled her eyes dramatically and poked Yang Mi's forehead in an annoyed manner.

"I knew it! You brat, you never come to me with anything good!"
