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

In the audition room, Zhang Dahuzi looked at Gu Heng.

"Let's try that scene where Yelü Qi persuades Guo Xiang to let go of her obsession."

He then pointed to Yang Mi, who was standing next to him, completely dumbfounded.

"You, hitch a ride with him."

Yang Mi nodded, feeling dizzy, as if she were dreaming.

How did things get to this point?

Why did the person who was accompanying the test leave the exam first?

The audition started again, but this time the lead actor was different, and there was a big-bearded man in the main seat.

"start."

Gu Heng quickly switched modes, instantly concealing the sharp edge that still belonged to Yang Guo, and his temperament became gentle and reserved, making him a completely different person from before.

He then looked at Yang Mi, his gentle eyes filled with concern.

"Xiang'er, one cannot live in the past forever. Your elder brother has his own life, and you should have yours too."

As soon as she finished speaking, Guo Xiang, played by Yang Mi, stubbornly turned her head away.

"I don't care! I just want to find my older brother!"

Gu Heng could only sigh helplessly and take a step forward.

"All good things must come to an end. You're only making your parents worry."

Next, Gu Heng perfectly portrayed Yelü Qi's composure and his affection for his junior sister Guo Xiang.

After the two finished their performance.

The casting directors looked at each other, their faces filled with shock.

This young man is simply born for this job.

"Alright."

Zhang Jizhong made the decision once again, expressing his satisfaction without any attempt to hide it.

"The role of Yelü Qi is yours."

He turned to the casting director and said.

"Have the producer contact him later to sign the contract."

Gu Heng bowed slightly.

"Thank you, director."

With Gu Heng acting as the perfect emotional catalyst, Yang Mi performed flawlessly in the subsequent supplementary test.

She perfectly captured Guo Xiang's surprise, curiosity, naivety, and a hint of cunning when she first met Yang Guo.

When she blinked and said in a charming voice, "My first wish is to see the true face of you, the Condor Hero,"

Everyone present knew in their hearts that this role was perfect for her.

After the audition, the two walked out of the Cultural Palace side by side.

The afternoon sun felt warm and cozy on my skin.

"ah--"

Yang Mi suddenly let out a cheer and, like a little koala, jumped from behind Gu Heng onto him, wrapping her legs around his waist.

"We've all been elected! We've all been elected!"

Gu Heng steadily supported her, feeling the girl's excitement and joy.

"Alright, alright, get down. There are so many people watching."

"No!" Yang Mi rested her head on his shoulder, her voice muffled and nasal, "I want you to carry me on your back."

Gu Heng smiled helplessly and spun around in place with her on his back.

In the sunlight, the girl's laughter was as clear and crisp as a wind chime.

……

By early June, the weather in Beijing had become extremely hot.

The news about casting for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is even hotter than the weather.

Today it's said that Xiaolongnu is interested in a certain Hong Kong and Taiwan beauty queen, and tomorrow it's rumored that Yang Guo might end up with a popular young actor.

Zhang Jizhong, with his big beard, has slept with almost every prominent young actor in the industry, and he has single-handedly manipulated the media's spotlight and headlines.

But this commotion had nothing to do with Gu Heng and Yang Mi.

Two characters who are practically guaranteed to be main characters—one being Yelü Qi, whose role as male lead is unknown, and the other being Guo Xiang, who only appears later in the story—are not even worth mentioning in the eyes of the media.

But the happiest and most confused people were Yang Mi's parents.

The living room of the Yang family.

Yang Xiaolin put down the newspaper in her hand, her gaze behind her glasses shifting back and forth between her daughter and Gu Heng.

Gu Heng was leisurely peeling an apple, the long peel forming a continuous line.

"I'm not surprised that Mimi was selected after auditioning."

Yang Xiaolin spoke, pointing at Gu Heng with her finger.

"But you, someone who was just there to accompany someone taking the exam, how did you get selected?"

He really couldn't understand it.

My daughter is a former child star; she's talented and experienced.

This kid is something else. Apart from looking decent, he has absolutely nothing to do with the entertainment industry.

How did he end up being chosen by that famously picky, bearded director?

With a flick of his wrist, Gu Heng broke the apple peel.

Then he handed the peeled apple to Yang Mi before shaking his head and answering, rubbing his forehead.

"There's nothing I can do, I'm just too handsome."

Yang Mi took the apple, took a big bite, her cheeks bulging, and mumbled a reply.

"Yes! I, Hengguo, am incredibly handsome!"

Yang Xiaolin was amused and exasperated by the way the two little ones were singing in unison.

He shook his head, too lazy to ask any more questions.

Anyway, the contract is almost signed, and the die is cast.

……

the next day,

In the office of Rongxinda Film and Television Company.

Li Xiaowan pushed a thick contract in front of Yang Mi with a smile on her face.

"Honey, take one last look. If everything is okay, you can sign it."

Yang Mi's heart raced as she looked at the words "Actor Employment Contract" at the top.

She took a deep breath and turned the pages one by one.

In fact, Attorney Zhang had already reviewed these terms with her parents one by one and confirmed that there were no traps.

But when this document, which concerned her future, was actually placed in front of her, she still felt a sense of unreality.

She saw her name, her salary, and the filming schedule.

Finally, her gaze settled on the "role played" section.

Two words are clearly printed on the back.

Guo Xiang.

These two words brought her all the hardship and tension along the way to a sense of belonging.

Without further hesitation, she picked up the pen on the table and uncapped it.

Each stroke of the pen was carefully written down.

Yang Mi.

From this moment on, she was Guo Xiang.

Stepping out of Rongxinda's gate, Yang Mi felt light on her feet, as if she were walking on clouds.

She couldn't wait to take out her phone and call Gu Heng.

The call was answered almost instantly.

"Feed?"

"I signed! I signed!"

Yang Mi clutched her phone, jumping up and down excitedly on the street, completely oblivious to the stares from passersby.

"I really played Guo Xiang!"

Gu Heng chuckled softly on the other end of the phone.

"Congratulations, Lady Guo Xiang."

Hearing this address, Yang Mi's cheeks flushed slightly, but her heart felt sweet.

"Absolutely! I'll protect you on set from now on!" she said proudly, raising her chin.

"Okay." Gu Heng's tone was full of laughter. "Then I'm counting on you. What do you want to eat tonight to celebrate?"

"I want to eat the most expensive one!"

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi held the contract, still warm from the ink, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

What she didn't know was that at the same time she was cheering for her dream...

In the Guomao office building on the other side of Beijing, a business game has come to an end.
