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

The story then moves on to Taishan City, Guangdong Province.

Gu Heng truly enjoyed himself here.

Watching others painstakingly create iconic scenes is a completely different feeling from directing them yourself!

Directing yourself means worrying about the crew's food, drink, and even basic needs; watching others direct is pure bliss!

Especially when watching the monitor, Zhang Mazi, played by Jiang Wen, and Huang Silang, played by Li Xuejian, were having a crazy acting battle of wits and courage.

Li Xuejian's acting skills are truly superb; he brought Huang Silang, a seemingly smiling man who stabs others in the back, to a whole new level.

Gu Heng sat on a small stool, holding a cup in his hand, watching with great interest.

Just as the filming of the Goose City scenes was in full swing, Gu Heng received a transoceanic phone call.

The fish has taken the bait!

When he was working on "American Dreams" in the US, he casually posted the core concept of "Inception" on MySpace as bait.

As a result, one of Nolan's screenwriters stumbled upon this post while surfing the internet.

When the screenwriter saw this, he thought, "Wow, this concept is absolutely brilliant!"

He followed the clues and checked with the Writers Guild of Hollywood based on the name left in the post, and surprisingly, there was indeed a complete script registration record!

The screenwriter rushed off to report the matter to Christopher Nolan.

"Boss, look at this!"

Nolan took a look at those few pages of the core outline.

Holy crap! Isn't this the drama of my dreams that I've been contemplating for almost ten years?!

Nolan's eyes turned red, and he immediately gave a firm order: "Contact this screenwriter named Gu immediately! I need to know the entire plot right now!"

When the overseas call came in, Gu Heng was on set eating watermelon.

"Hello? Mr. Gu, we are very interested in purchasing your dream-themed script..."

Gu Heng calmly spat out a watermelon seed and immediately began practicing Tai Chi.

Neither refusing nor agreeing, the main tactic is to play hard to get.

Just then, the sound of Li Xuejian filming came from behind the camera: "No rush, let's have some fun with them."

Thus, a magical scene unfolded on the set of "Let the Bullets Fly": Gu Heng sat next to the monitor during the day, watching Zhang Mazi and Huang Silang fight with great interest.

In the evening, I had a long phone call with Nolan, who was on the other side of the ocean, from the hotel.

So another director treated Gu Heng as a soulmate, making him seem like a succubus.

The two people's ideas were so similar that it was almost absurd.

What Nolan had in mind, Gu Heng had in mind as well.

Nolan doesn't have it, but Gu Heng does!

Nolan had completely lost his mind; he was practically swearing a blood oath with Gu Heng on the other end of the phone.

Soon, Warner Bros. also received the news.

Warner Bros. president Jeff Robinoff personally approached Nolan, his face grave, and asked, "Chris, are you serious this time? You absolutely have to make this script?"

Nolan stiffened his neck, his attitude incredibly firm: "I...I desperately want to make this! I've been dreaming about making this movie!"

What is Nolan's current status at WarnerMedia?

The Dark Knight just raked in phenomenal box office success, and he's Warner Bros.' living god of wealth!

He can film whatever he wants, and if he says he won't film, even if Jeff kneels down and begs him to film, it won't work!

Nolan even made a bold statement, saying that even if Warner Bros. didn't step in to resolve the issue, he would take his team to other studios and make the film!

Now he has the confidence and the ability to do so!

Upon hearing this, Jeff dared not delay and quickly said, "This is a bit difficult. We've investigated, and this Gu is not only a director, but also a winner of the Venice Golden Lion Award, and a very powerful boss in China! It won't be easy to deal with him on their turf."

"However, since he's registered with the union, it means he's considering making the film. Don't worry, Warner Bros. will definitely help you get it!"

In the following days, Warner executives took turns offering tempting high prices to buy out the script.

But who is Gu Heng? Does he even care about the meager offer from Warner? He stubbornly refused to budge.

Warner Bros. understood that if they wanted the script, they had to share the profits with this big Chinese boss!

Let's all work together to contribute funds!

However, Gu Heng knew perfectly well what kind of people these Hollywood tycoons were.

The way these people fabricate accounts is unparalleled in the global film and television industry!

The most outrageous one is "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" which was released a couple of years ago.

This movie raked in a staggering $9.38 million at the global box office, but when Warner Bros. released its year-end financial statements, it not only failed to make a profit, but actually suffered a loss of $1.67 million!

When this news came out, it infuriated J.K. Rowling so much that she almost bought a plane ticket overnight and flew to Los Angeles to take her wand and give each Warner executive a "Avada Kedavra"!

Given this kind of behavior, if they really cooperate and don't send their own people to keep a close eye on the accounts, Gu Heng probably won't get a single penny.

Then Warner will have to issue a loss report, making you pay them back.

If it doesn't work out, Gu Heng would rather keep the script locked away in a drawer and find a bigger studio to work with.

Anyway, some of the six major Hollywood studios are envious of Warner Bros.

However, Gu Heng had already prepared a backup plan.

When "American Dreams in China" was filmed in New York, Liu Jun, the uncle, recruited a group of recently unemployed Wall Street elites to act in the film at a bargain price in order to save on extras fees.

Gu Heng not only took advantage of their labor for free, but also secretly investigated their background.

These people are truly capable; they are all elites from Ivy League schools.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky and followed the wrong boss. He was used as cannon fodder in the financial crisis, his company went bankrupt, and he was kicked out.

Especially Kevin, the American who plays the final boss in the movie.

This guy is incredibly shrewd; he's got a complete grasp of Wall Street's cutthroat financial rules.

Before leaving New York, Gu Heng gathered these people together alone.

He then produced an employment agreement with a generous base salary and a huge percentage of litigation proceeds: "Who made you all this mess, and who gave you a chance to start over?"

Faced with the threat of being killed by the United States and the promise of huge profits, these people immediately surrendered.

His eyes were red.

Now, this group has joined forces with the senior executives sent to North America by Vision Capital, forming a highly effective financial legal team.

Then we'll show these people the wisdom of our ancestors, what it means to use barbarians to control barbarians.

You must use magic to defeat magic.
