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

Gu Heng couldn't help but laugh when he saw the future famous director behaving like this.

"Old Ning, if your wife saw you like this, she'd think I tricked you into working as a laborer in some illegal brick kiln. Didn't Sister-in-law Xing Aina call the police for you?"

Mentioning his wife, Ning Hao's eyes finally regained a glimmer of clarity, and he said with a wry smile, "She hit me and said that if I don't come home to pay my dues, she'll remarry Old Wang next door."

Gu Heng casually tossed two packs of cigarettes onto the control panel.

"Take a smoke, it'll help you stay alert. Hurry up, let me see what I've accomplished these past few days."

Ning Hao frantically tore open the cigarette pack, lit one, took a deep drag, and looked more blissful than if he were inhaling oxygen.

"Mr. Gu, just you wait and see. This film is absolutely amazing."

Gu Heng didn't stand on ceremony, pulled up a chair and sat down, indicating that the music should play.

Half an hour later.

Gu Heng walked out of the editing room, stood in the autumn sunlight, and took a deep breath of air that did not smell of foot odor.

Absolutely guaranteed.

That unique dark humor, that sharp editing with multi-narrative structure, is very much in line with Ning Hao's style.

Now that things have stabilized on the "Stone" side, Gu Heng decided to behave like good students with Yang Mi for the next few days.

Originally, Gu Heng planned to give Yang Mi a rigorous training regimen to prepare her for the role of Wang Zhaojun. However, the aftereffects of her experience living in Zigui last time were too strong. She looked at everyone as if she were saying goodbye, and even when eating braised pork, her eyes were filled with sorrow, which sent chills down Gu Heng's spine.

While experiential learning is good, it can become tedious and ineffective.

In her past life, Yang Mi took on too many roles and didn't focus on acting. Although she became a workaholic, she lost her natural talent and ended up with only a formulaic performance.

In this life, since he's here, let her be an experiential learner in peace, and slowly refine her skills.

Anyway, Director Chen Jialin and his crew are still scouting locations on the Inner Mongolian grasslands, so filming will have to wait a while longer.

While things were calm at the school, the new headquarters at Jimen Bridge, just a wall away, was bustling with activity.

Su Qing's execution ability is terrifyingly strong.

In less than half a month, the once unfinished building has been completely transformed. Huge floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the autumn sunlight, and the gilded signs of Vision Capital and Vision Entertainment on the top floor gleam in the sunlight.

Although Gu Heng didn't want to be too flamboyant, since he wanted to establish himself in the industry, he still needed to have the necessary prestige.

The day the new headquarters of Vision was officially opened.

At 10 a.m., luxury cars gathered.

The road at the south gate of Beijing Film Academy was almost completely blocked.

The students from Beijing Film Academy who were passing by craned their necks, forgetting to eat the jianbing guozi they were holding, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Holy crap! Is that Teacher Li Youbin? It really is Commander Li Yunlong!"

"Hey hey hey! Isn't that Huang Xiaoming getting out of that van? That's Liu Yifei, the fairy sister!"

"Is that Wang Jinsong, the director of our performing arts department? And Professor Cui Xinqin is here too!"

What shocked the students the most was that these big shots, whom they rarely saw, all smiled and shook hands with the young man in a tailored suit at the door after getting off the bus, their posture even showing a bit of politeness.

"Is that Gu Heng? That top student from our class of 05?"

"Nonsense, he's President Gu now! This entire building belongs to him!"

All the guys from dormitory 306 came out today to act as temporary greeters.

Zhang Xuan, wearing an ill-fitting suit, stood tall and looked at the big stars she could only see on TV, her palms sweating with excitement.

"Old Zhang, perk up!" Jing Chao whispered a reminder. "We're Gu Ge's roommates, don't embarrass ourselves! Put on an air of 'I've seen it all'!"

Gu Heng stood at the doorway, completely at ease.

"Teacher Youbin, Teacher Guangbei, thank you for your support. It is an honor to have you here."

"Senior, your hairstyle looks great today."

"Teacher Cui, Director Wang, please come in. We've specially reserved some fine tea for you two."

Ning Hao was practically dragged here by Huang Bo. This guy was obsessed with editing; if Gu Heng hadn't given him a strict order, he might have died in the editing room.

At this moment, he was wearing a suit with the tags still on, and a large gold chain inexplicably hung around his neck. He looked like a gangster who had just been released from prison, shaking hands mechanically with a blank expression.

The most dazzling figures in the crowd were undoubtedly those two golden flowers.

Yang Mi, dressed in a bright red dress, looked stunning. She linked arms with Gu Heng, exuding the air of a boss lady.

Liu Yifei, dressed in a white dress, stood quietly beside Liu Xiaoli, holding a glass of champagne in her hand, her eyes as clear as a spring.

"Sissi!"

The proprietress's persona collapsed instantly.

Upon seeing her best friend, Yang Mi immediately threw away Gu Heng's arm and rushed over, lifting her skirt.

"Honey!"

The two girls, one in red and one in white, one in motion and one still, were as beautiful as a painting.

Many male guests at the scene stared wide-eyed.

Gu Heng walked over with his wine glass in hand.

"How have you been? Haven't seen you in a while. Where have you been cultivating in seclusion?" Gu Heng smiled and clinked glasses with Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei blinked and said in a soft voice, "I've taken on a role and went for a makeup test. It's for Jet Li's 'Fearless'."

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow and paused for half a second.

Huo Yuanjia?

If I remember correctly, the only role suitable for Liu Yifei in this film was the blind girl named Yueci, whose past life was played by Sun Li.

Sun Li acted well, but because her eyes were so bright and expressive, when she played a blind person, it always gave people the feeling that she was pretending to be blind, which has been criticized by film critics.

The butterfly's wings are flapping now?

Although it was somewhat expected, Gu Heng was still surprised that Liu Yifei would jump directly from television to the big screen. And to make matters worse, it was a Jet Li movie, which Gu Heng remembered was going to be released in North America.

"What are we acting out?" Gu Heng asked knowingly.

"A blind girl named Yueci." Liu Yifei smiled a little shyly. "The director said my eyes look rather ethereal, sometimes appearing... well, a little dull, which is suitable for playing characters who can't see."

When she mentioned being silly, the girl even stuck out her tongue, showing no inhibitions whatsoever.

"That's good." Gu Heng took a sip of his wine without making a sound. "However, there's a common mistake when playing a blind person: never roll your eyes or deliberately stare blankly."

Liu Yifei immediately perked up her ears, looking just like a primary school student listening attentively in class. She knew how monstrous Gu Heng's acting skills were.

"Blind people have extremely keen hearing and touch." Gu Heng pointed to his ears. "If you want to act well, use your ears to see people more often. When you speak, tilt your ears slightly towards the other person, instead of your eyes. This subconscious physiological reaction is much more sophisticated than simply pretending to be blind."

Liu Yifei seemed thoughtful, then her eyes lit up, and she raised her glass to Gu Heng: "Thank you! I'll remember that!"

Seeing the two girls start chattering about skincare products again, Gu Heng smiled.

Not far away, Gu Yongqiang was chatting animatedly with Chen Kai, a wine glass in hand. With Youyi Network at a critical juncture, the fact that this internet mogul was personally present speaks volumes about the influence of Vision Capital.

On this day, the 05 acting class of Beijing Film Academy established an unwritten rule.

Gu Heng became the undisputed senior disciple.

Regardless of whether you are older than him or not, you have to accept the title of "senior brother" wholeheartedly.

Yang Mi naturally secured her position as the senior sister.

After the lively opening ceremony, November arrived in the blink of an eye.

Ning Hao, that madman, finally finished the final cut of "Crazy Stone" with dark circles under his eyes that rivaled those of a panda.
