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

Gu Heng walked at the front, with the little fox affectionately linking its arm with his, its alluring eyes occasionally glancing at him.

Behind them followed a young newcomer named Dilraba, whose gaze never left the two of them.

"Ahhh! The boss's eyes are practically drooling!"

The Xinjiang girl was currently wildly imagining the love-hate relationship between the boss (Yang Mi) and the boss's wife (Gu Heng), her mouth practically stretched to her ears in a grin.

It's really amazing how someone can become a professional fan by constantly fantasizing about their idol offline.

She even took a huge detour in her life trajectory; looking at the entire entertainment industry, she's probably the only one like that!

Aside from the prominent figures and celebrities who were invited, there were no other people present.

It also included many reporters from major media outlets, veteran film critics, and lucky fans who won prizes through lotteries on platforms such as Vision's official Weibo account.

Of course, with so many people around, some are bound to come with the mindset of just watching a show.

After all, science fiction films have always been a Achilles' heel in the country; whoever touches them dies.

Even Gu Heng, who had always been successful, was no exception.

If this "Source Code" flops, that will be huge news!

Just before entering the theater, a film critic wearing black-rimmed glasses was tightly gripping a hot-tempered companion next to him.

"Gangzi, go inside and calm down your temper later."

The bespectacled man lowered his voice and advised, "The movie's online anticipation is off the charts right now, and the reviews are great. Shouldn't we avoid the hype for now? Let's not start criticizing it right away!"

Hearing his companion praise others' morale like that, Gangzi's temper flared up instantly.

"Only mediocre people are afraid to cause trouble! Should I avoid his sharp edge?"

Gangzi flicked his hand and sneered, "If the filming isn't good, just wait and see if I don't criticize him, Tom!"

The two strode confidently into the theater, and then... their feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, firmly rooted to the ground.

Not only the two of them, but many viewers who were entering this flagship IMAX theater for the first time had their mouths agape, wide enough to fit a light bulb.

Directly in front of you is a giant screen that reaches from top to bottom, creating an extremely exaggerated sense of visual oppression!

"Good heavens... this screen is freaking huge!" Gangzi swallowed hard. "It's giving me megalophobia a real jolt!"

"The artistic merit of this screen must be three or four stories high, right?" the bespectacled man muttered to himself.

"Too few! I think it should have at least five layers!"

There were quite a few knowledgeable industry professionals present who could naturally recognize what level of projection equipment this was.

But it is precisely because they are experts in this field that they find it all the more incredible!

Time Cinemas has only been around for a little over a year, but its expansion speed is comparable to a rocket.

But the mysterious boss named "Wang Gang" has yet to show his face.

In order to dig up juicy stories, many media colleagues even paid high prices to bribe paparazzi to stake out the headquarters of Time Cinemas every day.

After observing for almost half a year, they finally came to a vague conclusion that made people want to vomit blood: this CEO Wang Gang may never have clocked in at the company at all!

This was hidden way too well!

At this moment, Lu Zhen, who was sitting in the front row, was sitting next to Jing Tian.

Starlight Brilliant has close ties with Wanda Group, and Lu Zhen himself is one of Wanda's shareholders.

He knew very well that there was a giant screen of almost the same size in Wanda Cinema in Dongguan.

Wanda Group had been closely monitoring the movements of Time Cinemas for a long time.

Now that Time Museum has just completed a full upgrade of its equipment, Gu Heng immediately arranged for the premiere of his new film to be held here...

This coincidence is just too perfect.

Lu Zhen turned slightly to the side and whispered in Jing Tian's ear, "Tian Tian, ​​when we were filming on set, did Director Gu mention the Time Cinema project to you?"

Jing Tian looked bewildered and confused: "No, he's always trying to amuse Xiaoming on set, he's driving him crazy. What's wrong?"

"Uh...it's nothing, maybe I'm just overthinking it."

Lu Zhen chuckled self-deprecatingly, then shook his head, banishing the utterly absurd idea from his mind.

Gu Heng's achievements in the entertainment industry are already extraordinary.

If even Time Cinemas belongs to him... then this world is too magical!

He's only 23 years old!

Even if you started scheming from the moment you were born, you couldn't possibly create such a large operation, could you?

As the lights in the theater slowly dimmed, the gossip and speculations about his identity subsided.

"Source Code" has officially premiered.

After a brief flash of the manufacturer's logo, the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai comes into view.

Then, accompanied by a tight, slightly electronic suspenseful, low-pitched soundtrack, the camera's perspective begins to shift in the clouds.

The Huangpu River, the Bund, and various landmark buildings, arranged in a staggered manner, glide by in turn.

Finally, the camera smoothly panned down and locked onto a railway line that runs across the suburbs.

A commuter train, bathed in the morning sunlight, slowly runs along the tracks.

The sunlight reflection, the metallic texture of the carriage, and the surrounding environment all appear incredibly real and natural.

Just as most of the audience was immersed in this perfectly normal urban scene, a viewer in the back row suddenly couldn't help but blurt out, "Holy crap, there's a big problem!"

A guy next to me, who was engrossed in watching, was annoyed and muttered under his breath.

"No, buddy, it looks perfectly normal to me. This scene is so shocking! You're just nitpicking right off the bat, aren't you, you little hater?"

"You son of a bitch!" the viewer snapped, pointing at the screen in a low voice to defend himself.

"I live nearby! There aren't that many residential areas along this railway line! And what's more... damn it, my house is nowhere to be seen in the footage!"

Upon hearing this, several people nearby couldn't help but laugh, which was rather unkind.

But the laughter only lasted for two seconds, followed by everyone gasping in shock!

"Holy crap? You mean... all the scenes along the way were created using CGI?"

At this moment, a man wearing a baseball cap, who looked like someone in the industry, swallowed hard and said:

"It should be a combination of live-action and special effects! But there are a lot of special effects."

"And I'm afraid it's not just that... even that moving train, and the distant outline of most of the city, are all CG-rendered!"

Upon hearing this, only one crazy thought remained in everyone's mind:

Just for a movie opening sequence, they went to the trouble of building almost half of the Shanghai suburbs with special effects?!

Has Director Gu completely gone mad?!

And... when did domestic special effects quietly become so amazing that it's hard to tell the difference between real and fake?!
