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

Gu Heng led the way, and the three of them followed behind, entering the lobby of the office building.

The four people took the elevator directly to the 36th floor.

The elevator doors opened, revealing a whole wall of frosted glass.

On the wall are four large metal characters: Vision Capital.

Gu Heng pushed open the glass door, and a spacious and bright office area suddenly appeared.

Dozens of workstations are neatly arranged.

The employees, dressed in formal attire, were all busy in front of their computers.

Yang Mi moved closer to Gu Heng and asked in a low voice.

"These...these are all from your company?"

She had also visited Gu Heng's previous company.

It's a small studio apartment with only a few people in it.

It's only been a short time since we last met.

Gu Heng glanced at her but didn't answer. He simply enjoyed watching her shocked expression.

This girl finally realizes she's not just playing around.

"President Gu!"

A clear voice rang out.

Chen Kai, dressed in a sharp suit, strode out of a private office.

A figure followed behind him was Liu Jun, Gu Heng's uncle.

When Liu Jun saw Gu Heng, it was as if he had seen a savior, and he quickly went to greet him.

To live up to the high salary offered by his nephew, he came to the company to report for duty right after the New Year and started learning from Chen Kai from scratch.

As a result, I was bombarded with all sorts of data and financial terms every day.

He felt like his brain no longer belonged to him.

Seeing his uncle's tormented expression, Gu Heng almost burst out laughing.

He nodded to Liu Jun as a greeting.

Then he gave instructions to Chen Kai.

"Chen Kai, prepare a meeting room. Director Ning and I have a project to discuss."

"OK."

Chen Kai immediately turned around and made arrangements.

Soon, the group of five entered the spacious conference room.

Ning Hao and Xing Aina sat down somewhat awkwardly, while Yang Mi sat down curiously next to Gu Heng.

Gu Heng poured a glass of water for Ning Hao and his wife and got straight to the point.

"Director Ning, let's get straight to the project."

He looked at Ning Hao.

"What kind of investment are you looking for in this script?"

Gu Heng knew about the legendary movie "Crazy Stone".

In the previous life, the initial budget for this film was six million.

However, because Andy Lau was also supporting several other new directors, the funds were scattered, and Ning Hao only received three million in the end.

But Ning Hao managed to use those three million yuan, through careful budgeting, to create a phenomenal dark comedy that grossed 27 million yuan at the box office.

Ning Hao took a deep breath, as if encouraging himself.

Then I gritted my teeth.

"Four million."

After saying that, he quickly added another sentence.

"Mr. Gu, rest assured, I will spend every penny wisely! I will absolutely not waste it!"

Gu Heng was both amused and exasperated after hearing this. It seemed that Ning Hao was afraid of reporting too much and running away.

"Director Ning, don't worry about the report, we will still ensure the quality."

Ning Hao glanced at his wife beside him, then held up five fingers and said somewhat hesitantly.

Five million.

Ning Hao was still a little nervous. If he couldn't get investment again, he really didn't know what to do.

Gu Heng looked at the expression on Ning Hao's face and smiled.

Three million can create a miracle, and a budget of five million will only elevate the quality of the film, naturally leading to higher box office returns.

But my budget wasn't enough before I was reborn, and it's still not enough after I'm reborn. So, wasn't my rebirth in vain?

Gu Heng gently tapped the table and uttered a few words.

"Six million, I'll invest."

Ning Hao and Xing Aina looked up abruptly, unable to believe their ears.

Just like that... you agreed?

There was an extra million.

How can you haggle and then keep haggling?

Yang Mi, who was standing next to Gu Heng, went completely blank when she heard his words.

Six million?

She filmed The Return of the Condor Heroes, working hard for several months, but her salary was only tens of thousands of yuan.

Six million is an astronomical figure for her.

But Gu Heng said it so casually.

Good heavens, whose childhood sweetheart is this?

Oh.

It's mine.

That's fine.

"President Gu, you..." Ning Hao's voice trembled.

"I believe in Director Ning's talent, and I also believe in my judgment."

After Gu Heng finished speaking, he looked at Chen Kai.

"You'll be responsible for the subsequent contract and financial arrangements. Pay a portion first, and settle the rest once the machine is turned on."

Gu Heng also wanted to settle the debt in one go, but most of the money in the company's account was outside, and the funds could not be recovered immediately.

Next time, I definitely want to experience the feeling of throwing money around.

"Okay, boss."

Chen Kai nodded in agreement.

"However, there is still one problem."

Gu Heng changed the subject.

"Vision Capital can only invest at present, but it doesn't have distribution qualifications. What about marketing and distribution after the film is made?"

This is a very real problem.

Ning Hao was clearly prepared. He immediately said, "President Gu, don't worry about that. I thought about it on my way here. I can ask my teacher to contact China Film Group and try to get them to handle the publicity."

China Film Group?

Gu Heng was somewhat surprised.

He remembered that in his previous life, the distributor was a joint venture between China Film Group and Warner Bros., but he never expected that in this life, because of his involvement, it would become purely a China Film Group company.

However, this is also a good thing.

If you can get in touch with China Film Group, the film's publicity and distribution are basically guaranteed.

"Can."

Gu Heng nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll trouble Director Ning to make the initial contact. If we encounter any difficulties, we'll think of another solution."

"no problem!"

Ning Hao nodded heavily, his whole being brimming with energy.

Next, the group had a brief discussion about some details of the film.

Ning Hao did most of the talking, while Gu Heng listened, occasionally asking a few questions.

As dusk approached, Gu Heng raised his hand to check his watch.

That's all for today.

He stood up, smiled, and said to everyone, "We didn't even have a proper meal. Since we've met by chance, I'll treat everyone to a simple meal as a way of wishing each other success in our cooperation."

He looked at his uncle.

"Uncle, you come too."

Ning Hao stood up excitedly and thanked him repeatedly.

Yang Mi quickened her pace and cheerfully took Gu Heng's arm.

The group of five walked out of the conference room and left Vision Capital.
