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

In the days following the preliminary exam, Yang Mi became visibly anxious.

She could make eight phone calls to Gu Heng a day, but the topic was always the same.

"Hey, do you think we can make it?"

"What did Teacher Cui's final nod mean?"

"Can you get inside information?"

Gu Heng always replied, "Just wait."

He was busy in his study, reviewing the business landscape for the next few years, and had no time to pay attention to someone's pre-exam anxiety.

Finally, the day arrived when the results of the Beijing Film Academy's preliminary exams were released.

The two returned to the familiar campus, where the bulletin board was already packed with people.

"Oh no, oh no, there are so many people, how are we supposed to see them?!"

Yang Mi stood on tiptoe, trying hard to see something through the gaps in the crowd, but all she could see were countless swaying heads.

Gu Heng took her hand and led her to the edge of the crowd.

"Don't rush."

Taking advantage of his height of 1.82 meters, he easily scanned the crowd and began to look at the red list covered with names.

Soon, he found two familiar names in the densely packed list.

He looked away, glancing at Yang Mi beside him who was practically jumping up and down in a panic, and deliberately remained silent.

"How is it? How is it? Did you see me? Am I there?" Yang Mi grabbed his arm and shook it hard.

Gu Heng cleared his throat, sighed, and his expression became serious.

"Sigh, Mimi, I think..."

Upon hearing the first part of Gu Heng's words, Yang Mi's heart sank.

Gu Heng changed the subject, "...We should consider what kind of performance to prepare for the re-examination."

"Damn it, Gu Heng! We've crossed the line?" Yang Mi was a little confused because Gu Heng was still joking.

Gu Heng smiled and nodded.

Yang Mi jumped up excitedly, hugged Gu Heng's neck, and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

"Ah! I passed!"

Countless envious glances immediately fell upon them.

He's not only handsome, but he also has such a beautiful girlfriend.

That kid deserves to die.

"Let's go, let's celebrate!"

Gu Heng, still excited, pulled Yang Mi into a well-known home-style restaurant near the Beijing Film Academy.

Just as the two finished ordering, the conversation of a couple at the next table drifted over.

"It still doesn't work. As soon as they hear it's a new director and a script with multiple storylines, they reject it without even looking at it," the man said dejectedly.

The woman gently comforted you, "Don't worry, there will always be someone who knows what's good for you. If all else fails, I'll go back to your school this afternoon and talk to a teacher to see if he can help introduce you to a reliable investor."

The man sighed.

"That's all I can do. Sigh, is my script really that bad?"

Gu Heng's hand, which was holding a piece of food, froze in mid-air.

Multi-narrative structure, new director, Beijing Film Academy, seeking investment.

When these keywords were put together, he immediately had a guess in his mind: No way.

He turned his head and looked at the person next to him.

A man wearing a simple jacket, looking forlorn.

Beside him was his wife, who was looking at him with a worried expression.

Gu Heng's heart was stirred.

Indeed, it is Ning Hao, the future genius director, and his wife Xing Aina.

At this time, they must be talking about the movie "Crazy Stone"!

It's still called "The Big Diamond" now.

In his previous life, the investment came from Andy Lau's Asian New Star Director Project, which Gu Heng remembered he went to in the second half of the year.

In other words, no one is investing yet, but the money printing machine has been delivered to our doorstep!

Beijing Film Academy is great, I should definitely apply to it.

Gu Heng put down his chopsticks, gave Yang Mi a wink, then stood up, took a cup of tea, and walked to the table where Ning Hao and his wife were sitting.

"Excuse me, may I bother you?"

Ning Hao raised his head unhappily, looking at Gu Heng warily.

Gu Heng gave a humble smile.

"My name is Gu Heng, and I'm an applicant for the Beijing Film Academy this year. I overheard you two talking about scripts just now, and I'm very interested in this uniquely structured script. Would it be convenient for me to take a look?"

A test taker?

Ning Hao and Xing Aina exchanged a glance, both somewhat puzzled.

Looking into the eyes of the young man before me, I saw clarity but not foolishness.

Ning Hao hesitated for a moment, but still took out the well-worn script from his bag.

"Alright, take a look." He didn't seem to have much hope.

"Thanks."

Gu Heng took the script but did not sit down. Instead, he stood there and quickly flipped through it.

He reads extremely fast, almost ten lines at a glance.

Ning Hao and his wife hadn't taken it seriously at first, but seeing his focused expression, they couldn't help but become nervous.

Yang Mi looked at Gu Heng curiously, wondering what he was up to now.

In less than five minutes, Gu Heng had quickly flipped through the entire script. After confirming that it was "Stone," he closed the script and let out a long sigh of relief.

"How is it?" Xing Aina couldn't help but ask first.

Gu Heng returned the script to Ning Hao, and instead of answering directly, asked a question in return.

"Director, very Guy Ritchie-esque, how did you come up with that idea? Absolutely brilliant."

Ning Hao and Xing Aina exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

"You...know Guy Ritchie too?"

"Of course, the structures of 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' and 'Snatch' are outstanding." Gu Heng sat down and began to speak eloquently. "Actually, I think this kind of structure is missing in domestic commercial films. If some local elements, such as dialects, could be added, it would definitely be a blockbuster."

These few words struck a chord with Ning Hao.

This is precisely the core design of his script!

This is not the perspective a test taker should have.

"Who...who exactly are you?" Ning Hao's voice trembled slightly.

Gu Heng smiled, took out a business card from his pocket, and gently pushed it over.

"My name is Gu Heng, from Vision Capital."

The simple heading on the business card stunned Ning Hao and his wife once again.

Gu Heng looked at them and extended an invitation.

"Gentlemen, this is not the place to discuss business. If you trust me, why don't we move to my company now and discuss this project in detail?"

He paused, then added.

"And so that you won't think that I, a young man, am just spouting nonsense."

Ning Hao gripped the script in his hand tightly and nodded heavily.

"good!"

The four of them immediately got up and left the restaurant.

Yang Mi followed Gu Heng, completely bewildered, and whispered, "What's going on? Why aren't you eating?"

"I'll explain later, let's take care of business first."

Soon, a taxi stopped in front of a high-end office building in the CBD.

Ning Hao and Xing Aina got out of the car and looked up at the magnificent building in front of them, somewhat incredulous.

Yang Mi's eyes widened as she turned to look at Gu Heng.

When did the company move to a new location?

Gu Heng walked to the revolving door of the office building, turned around, and smiled calmly.

"I told Chen Kai before on set that the original location was too small, and the appearance of the premises is very important."

After he finished speaking, he gestured for the three of them to proceed.
