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

In the past, when Gu Heng made films, he either took advantage of the domestic entertainment industry or went to Hollywood to freeload off Warner Bros.

But this time, Gu Heng figured it was time to turn his attention to neighboring South Korea and make a killing!

Now that Shu Chang has entered the world of vision, she naturally needs a solid, blockbuster film to make a comeback.

If we're talking about Shu Chang's most classic roles in the industry, aside from those tragic dramas...

No one can ignore the Tianshan Child Granny from the Zhang Dahuzi version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

She was clearly just a petite teenage girl.

When he plays a 70- or 80-year-old, sinister, vicious, and old-fashioned monster, he captures both the spirit and the form perfectly!

A small body bursting forth with a great soul—that's the kind of talent that the patriarchs have to feed you with.

Following this line of thought, a masterpiece instantly popped into Gu Heng's mind.

Back to 20!

This film was quite a peculiar one in its past; the original version was the South Korean film "Miss Granny".

As a result, this script was remade by several countries, including China, Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The domestic version was a box office champion that year.

This movie has such a powerful aftereffect that it can turn audiences into crying babies in the theater from laughing uproariously one second to sobbing uncontrollably the next.

Most importantly, the role of "grandmother" at the age of 20 was tailor-made for Shu Chang now!

With her skills, she wouldn't even need to undergo grueling training or experience life firsthand.

All you need to do is bring out the "proud old lady" vibe you had when you played the Tianshan Child Granny back then.

By incorporating a touch of local flavor, you can completely capture the essence of the place!

Gu Heng chuckled.

This time, we filmed the original version right here in the country!

Let's see if those Koreans will be eagerly coming over, begging to buy our adaptation rights.

Just do it.

Gu Heng locked himself in his office, turned on his computer, and started typing away.

He was only responsible for outlining the main plot and core storyline, directly copying the main plot of the Korean version.

As for other localization details, jokes, and lines, those will naturally have to be filled in by the current scriptwriting department of Vision.

The visionary screenwriting team is no pushover these days.

The department head was none other than Ning Hao's wife, Xing Aina.

When Ning Hao left, he wanted to take his wife with him, but Xing Aina firmly refused.

There's no way around it; foresight has given us just too much.

And the notebooks at Boss Gu's place are so good!

In just two hours, a nearly 10,000-word outline was freshly produced.

Gu Heng took the still-warm documents and strolled over to the scriptwriting department.

Xing Aina received the outline, glanced at it only a few times, and then looked up at Gu Heng with a different expression.

She really wanted to pry open the boss's skull and see how the brain circuits were structured!

Shu Chang had just arrived at the company and hadn't even warmed up her workstation yet.

You even came up with a custom script right after that?

That's a truly brilliant idea.

With this 10,000-word outline as a foundation, Xing Aina immediately called on her screenwriters to go all out and work day and night.

A few days later, a fresh script was produced.

Gu Heng flipped through the script and nodded in satisfaction.

Since the script is fine, we need to start recruiting people.

The core of this play is the two female leads, with the twenty-year-old Meng Lijun naturally being sung by Shu.

But who will play the seventy-year-old Shen Mengjun?

Gu Heng thought of actors who were close to that age group.

Or... should we call Aunt Cui over and give it a try?

Gu Heng thought about it more and more and felt that Aunt Cui was the right person.

It is not too late.

Gu Heng went outside and told Su Qing, "Sister Qing, take the script to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for review as soon as possible."

Then I went out and headed towards Beijing Film Academy.

Upon arriving at the Beijing Film Academy, he easily found his way to Cui Xinqin's office.

When they opened the door, they found Wang Jinsong drinking tea inside.

"Both teachers are here!"

Gu Heng, with his thick skin, greeted them with a grin while casually handing over the newly printed script.

"Aunt Cui, Teacher Wang, could you please take a look?"

Cui Ma and Wang Jinsong huddled together and opened the script for "Back to 20".

Half an hour later, the two finished reading the script.

"Great notebook!"

After praising her, Cui Ma, who has always been straightforward, said...

"Alright, stop playing coy. You didn't come to me for a casting call, did you?"

Gu Heng rubbed his hands together: "Aunt Cui, look at that grandmother in the script, who has such strong likes and dislikes... doesn't she suit your temperament perfectly?"

"I've come here today specifically to ask you to return to public life!"

Aunt Cui was taken aback, then laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, you've got your eye on your teacher!"

However, despite this, Cui Ma didn't put on airs. At her age, good scripts are a rare find.

"Alright! For this notebook of yours, I'll go through all the trouble with this old man!"

Seeing that Cui Ma had settled things, Wang Jinsong, who was standing to the side, couldn't sit still any longer.

"Gu Heng, has the investment for this play been finalized?"

Gu Heng shrugged: "Not yet. Teacher Wang, does the school have designs on my little business?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jinsong's hand trembled, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

What a ridiculously small business!

Everyone knows that the "small businesses" you've been involved in are all increasingly bizarre!

The movie "Love is Not Blind" had a budget of just over ten million yuan but grossed several hundred million yuan at the box office!

Since your debut, Gu Heng, when have you ever made a fortune with a small investment, earning so much that all the major film studios are green with envy?

You can't blame people in the industry for being jealous; you can only say that Director Gu is indeed "hardworking."

Other people make movies by studying, studying, and analyzing, which is extremely risky.

Gu Heng, on the other hand, relied on his reborn memories to get to where he is today, step by step.

The difference in quality is immediately apparent!

The Beijing Film Academy has always been very supportive of its students' filming trips, especially for exceptional talents like Gu Heng.

But usually it only provides support in terms of manpower and borrowing equipment and materials.

But Gu Heng is too monstrous; he's never lacked money since he started making movies!

Even if they lack money, there are still a group of investors lining up to give them money, so the Beijing Film Academy has no chance of getting in.

This time, Gu Heng finally came knocking on our door.

Wang Jinsong naturally couldn't let anyone escape.

"This time, we at Beijing Film Academy have to lend a hand, no matter what, right?"

These words sounded righteous and awe-inspiring, but tears had already been streaming from the corners of his mouth.

I was really craving it!

Gu Heng would naturally not refuse Beijing Film Academy's entry into the game.

Anyway, they're all my own schools.

Moreover, the official backing will be even stronger then.

Win-win!

"Since Teacher Wang has spoken, how can we not give him face?"

So Gu Heng called and asked someone to prepare the contract.

Then he went to Dean Zhang's office with Wang Jinsong.

In the end, of the total investment of 30 million, Gu Heng gave Beijing Film Academy a 15% share.

Meanwhile, Shu Chang also received the movie script.
