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

Sure enough, the very next day, before the online clamor of "not understanding" had even taken hold,

A lengthy film review analysis of nearly 10,000 words appeared on the homepages of Sina Weibo and Tianya Forum.

The title was truly sensational: "You think you're watching a comedy? Let's unravel the chilling metaphors in 'Let the Bullets Fly'!"

Gu Heng sat in his office early in the morning, munching on a steamed bun, and opened this trending post.

You won't believe it until you see it; even the "original author" who got the script couldn't help but exclaim that he was an expert!

From what the horse-drawn train satirized, to what Huang Silang's double represented, and even the psychological game in the scene where Liu Zi eats noodles, everything was analyzed in great detail.

Gu Heng glanced at it briefly and thought, "It's only been a few days, and this person has already dug out at least 80% of the metaphors in the movie!"

Talent!

This generation of netizens is truly full of hidden talents!

Gu Heng casually stuffed the half-eaten bun into his mouth, his greasy fingers typing directly on the keyboard, and reposted the article using his verified Weibo account with millions of followers.

The caption read: "Translate this: what exactly does 'a damn surprise' mean!"

When Gu Heng makes this move, the first to react are always the shrewd people in the entertainment industry.

The artists under Vision Entertainment, whether they are filming or lounging at home, react with the speed of a 100-meter sprint whenever they see their boss making a move.

Huang Bo, Bao Qiang, Zhu Yilong, Jing Chao, Tang Yan... all lined up in unison, without even changing the captions, and all followed suit in forwarding.

Even the little fox didn't shy away from the topic, immediately liking, sharing, and commenting.

Other actors in the industry who were doing mediocrely thought, "Holy crap?"

Everyone's jumping on the bandwagon? What are you waiting for? Get on board now!

If Director Gu takes a liking to me, wouldn't I be able to take off with a supporting role in the next film?

There's no way around it, they're just too eager to improve!

As a result, this analytical article was widely circulated and even went beyond the mainstream entertainment industry.

Many fans and casual viewers who were initially confused suddenly understood after reading this analysis.

"Holy crap! So that's what it meant!"

"This is amazing! Last night I thought it was just a simple story of bandits fighting a tyrant. Turns out I didn't even get close to the bottom of it?"

"No, no, I have to go buy another ticket. I can't get the full picture from just one viewing!"

These people started watching it a second or third time.

Once this wave of research and historical accuracy was ignited, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" skyrocketed like a rocket!

As a result, Gu Heng's already ridiculously high reputation as a screenwriter in the industry has been raised to an even higher level.

Seeing the excellent situation, Gu Heng closed the webpage with satisfaction, stretched, and then plunged back into the editing room of "Source Code".

I vow not to leave this place until I have completed the task.

But something interesting happened.

That afternoon, Su Qing walked into Gu Heng's office with an invitation in her hand.

"Boss, the invitation to this year's Golden Rooster Awards has arrived." Su Qing placed the invitation on the table, her expression somewhat strange.

The nomination list for the Golden Rooster Film Festival was announced a month ago.

As a dark horse sweeping the box office market, Gu Heng's "American Dreams in China" is undoubtedly the best, garnering five nominations.

Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" followed closely behind, receiving four award nominations, only missing out on the Best Actor award compared to Gu Heng.

If this were a proper film festival, the production team would definitely be in the limelight after receiving so many nominations.

But this year's Golden Rooster Awards were truly indescribable.

It's touted as the most explosively popular edition yet, but "explosive" isn't exactly a compliment.

Double-yolk eggs are flying everywhere, and even pork is being sold as a cut of pork – but that's not all. The most outrageous thing is that the organizing committee is openly selling tickets for the closing ceremony for 3000 yuan!

This isn't even the price scalpers are paying.

Is this something a reputable film festival would do?

Because of all these messy and chaotic things in my past life, Jackie Chan, Zhang Emo, Chen Shiren and other old hands had already heard the news and all pretended to be sick and dead, and didn't bother to join in this mess.

In the end, Huang Bo, who had only come to show his support, was forced to become the biggest star of the night.

"I'm not going. I'll just tell them that I'm overseeing the post-production of the film and I'm really too busy to go. I wish them all the best."

Su Qing was a shrewd person, well-versed in the underhanded dealings of the industry, and nodded without hesitation to carry out the order.

As a result, when Su Qing informed Ning Hao and Huang Bo that Gu Heng was not going, the two of them were even more resolute.

Ning Hao took a deep drag on his cigarette in the studio: "Even the boss isn't going, why should I go and become a laughingstock? I'll refuse! I'll just say I'm filming in Bangkok and lost my passport and can't come back!"

Huang Bo added insult to injury: "The boss isn't going, and Haozi isn't going either, so they just say my hemorrhoids are acting up and I can't get out of bed!"

Well, that's bad. Even Huang Bo, the "biggest star" in his previous life, has backed out.

The organizing committee leaders were so anxious they were practically jumping up and down.

When gentle persuasion failed, these people started resorting to crooked tactics.

They used their connections to find Tian Zhuangzhuang from the Beijing Film Academy, hoping that the old man would come out of retirement and use his status as a teacher to put pressure on Gu Heng and act as an intermediary.

That afternoon, Gu Heng received a call from Tian Zhuangzhuang.

As a result, the father and son talked on the phone for a good half hour, from the braised pork in the Beijing Film Academy cafeteria being a bit too salty today to the poor quality of this year's tea.

Tian Zhuangzhuang refused to utter a single word about the Golden Rooster Award!

Gu Heng listened to this on the other end of the phone and laughed.

The Golden Rooster Awards are in such a chaotic state now, others may not know, but Tian Zhuangzhuang, who has been in this business for most of his life, surely knows.

You can't cheat your most prized student!

Just before hanging up, Old Tian finally said quietly, "Alright, don't get involved in all that messy stuff outside. Do things your own way!"

"Alright, thank you, Teacher Tian!" Gu Heng felt relieved. It's always our own people who protect their own!

The organizing committee waited and waited, but seeing that the Beijing Film Academy couldn't get anything out of Gu Heng, they finally became furious.

They actually found a middleman in the industry to deliver a rather arrogant and harsh message to Gu Heng.

"Young Gu, don't be too hot-blooded."

"If you don't come to this year's Golden Rooster Awards, you can forget about ever getting a job at the China Film Association again!"

Originally, these old folks thought that Gu Heng had been too popular these past two years, and if he could come to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards this time, they would give him a membership in the Film Association.

Once Gu Heng joins the association, he will be a junior in front of these senior old guys.

If anything happens in the future, won't we be at their mercy?

Now, things have turned out differently. They're doing their thing, but Gu Heng isn't paying them any attention at all!

I'm going to make you so angry, A, aren't you in a hurry?

Moreover.

Does not joining that damn association affect my ability to make money?

I have money, power, and theaters; the bandit leader is still my third uncle.

Do you think you can stop my movie from being released?

"Sister Qing, tell the people down there to ignore these old fogies and keep making money!"
