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

Although Gu Heng was currently eating sand and drinking the northwest wind on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, news from Beijing was reaching his ears as if it had grown wings.

These days, information is money, and Gu Heng knows this all too well. Even in the yurt with only a few bars of signal, he keeps a close eye on everything happening in the capital.

Let's start with "Bright Sword," which is hailed as a masterpiece.

This show is a typical slow burner. Although it was a hit on its premiere, what's truly terrifying is its long-tail effect.

The new year has begun, and the rights to broadcast the second and third rounds are selling like hotcakes, with prices even higher than the first round!

The major TV stations are really going to great lengths to win the broadcasting rights.

Gu Heng listened to Su Qing's report while lying in bed, his heart filled with joy.

As for "Crazy Stone," the movie that made Gu Heng a fortune, although it has already been pulled from theaters, its crazy energy hasn't gone away at all.

This brings us to those unfortunate pirates.

When blockbusters like "The Promise" and "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" were released, these bastards were all staring at Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou like hyenas smelling the scent.

Who the hell cares about a small rock that only costs a few million?

The results of it?

They all lost everything, down to their underwear!

By the time they realized what was happening and wanted to burn discs of "Stone," the film had already raked in huge box office numbers in theaters, and word-of-mouth had almost completely spread.

Nowadays, pirated DVDs are everywhere, costing five yuan each, with picture quality so blurry they look like mosaics, but that doesn't stop people's enthusiasm.

After all, going to the cinema is still a luxury for many families at this time. Five yuan for two hours of fun, what more could you ask for?

This is where Su Qing's cunning truly shines.

This woman is ruthless. Seeing the rampant piracy, she thought to herself, "You think you can just steal my money?"

She directly contacted several major domestic audio-visual publishing houses and sold the copyrights to the genuine DVDs and VCDs.

The strategy can be summed up in four words: simple and brutal!

You're selling pirated copies for five yuan, right?

Okay, I'll sell the original, simplified version for eight yuan!

It's only three yuan more expensive than yours!

But this is the official high-definition version, which also includes bonus content, including exclusive interviews with the four members of the hot pot team!

This series of combined attacks completely stunned those pirates.

That's incredibly unsportsmanlike!

Where do you see genuine products and pirated products engaging in price wars?

Do you still want to lose your temper?

When ordinary people do the math, they realize that spending an extra three yuan for high-definition viewing is worthwhile; only a fool would buy pirated copies!

As a result, a strange phenomenon occurred in the music and video stores: genuine CDs sold better than pirated ones.

Although the profit per unit is a bit thin, after all, the cost of pressing and distribution fees have to be deducted, the volume is too large!

Su Qing's move not only blocked the path of pirates, but also reaped a wave of long-tail traffic.

As a result, the money from the two deals had barely reached Su Qing's hands before Chen Kai snatched it away.

A whopping eight million!

Su Qing felt her heart bleed as she watched a long string of zeros disappear from her account, but there was nothing she could do, since Gu Heng had set the overall direction for the company.

On the Vision Investment side, Chen Kai's eyes were practically gleaming with greed as he held the money.

He had long received Gu Heng's death order: there was only one target: Chihong Zinc & Germanium!

After a month of preparation, I can finally show off my skills.

This is a war without gunfire.

From February 20th to 26th, the atmosphere in Vision Investment's trading room was as tense as a battle.

Chen Kai calmly directed his traders to build positions in batches.

"Mr. Chen, someone is trying to steal our shares!"

A trader suddenly shouted, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Chen Kai frowned and stared at the candlestick chart.

Sure enough, a fund was quietly accumulating shares of Chihong Zinc & Germanium on the trading screen.

Although the movements were very subtle, in the eyes of an old fox like Chen Kai, they were as obvious as lice on a bald man's head.

"Never mind him, speed is what we need." Chen Kai lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "As long as the price doesn't exceed 8.5, we'll eat as much as we can!"

This is quite normal. Chen Kai was able to get the news about the share reform. There are no secrets in this world, and naturally other smart people also smelled the opportunity.

It's like a pack of hungry wolves fighting over a piece of fat meat; whoever has the best teeth will get to eat it all up.

Meanwhile, CITIC Securities was not lagging behind either.

Chen Kai operated on two fronts, raising another 300 million yuan to quietly buy 54.55 shares at a price of around 5.5 yuan.

Finally, August 2th arrived.

With the sound of a gong at the stock exchange, Chihong Zinc & Germanium announced a trading halt due to a major event.

As of now, Vision Investment holds a total of 258.8 million shares!

The moment the stock code on the screen turned gray, the entire Vision Investment team erupted in excitement!

"Holy crap! It's stopped! It's really stopped!"

"Mr. Chen is awesome! The boss is awesome!"

A group of financial elites in white shirts were yelling excitedly, like thugs who had just won a game.

You need to understand what a trading halt at this time means.

This means that after trading resumes, there will be a series of consecutive limit-up days!

This means their bonuses will double!

Hearing the commotion, the employees of Vision Entertainment next door were all incredibly curious and peered through the glass door.

"Are these people in finance crazy? They're so happy even though the stock is suspended from trading?"

"You don't know anything! That's money! That's piles of silver!"

"These are all our God of Wealth!"

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away on the Inner Mongolian grasslands, Gu Heng, wrapped in a military overcoat, received a text message from Chen Kai.

Just two short words:

"Done."

Gu Heng looked at his phone, a playful smile playing on his lips.

This time, I'm going to make a killing again.

Indeed, for capital, robbing banks is the slowest way to make money.

However, while this game of capital is exciting, it's just a castle in the air if it's not supported by real industries.

Gu Heng stretched and looked out the window at the snow falling all around him.

This godforsaken place is so damn cold.

But it is precisely this coldness that forges truly good things.

Whether it's a movie or a person.

It's mid-March now.

Filming for "Wang Zhaojun" has finally wrapped up.

When Chen Jialin shouted "Filming wrapped!", it sounded like heavenly music to the entire crew.

These past few months have been tough on everyone.

Especially those field staff from the south, their faces were cracked from the wind, they looked like they had just crawled out of a coal mine.

The wrap party was held at a large local restaurant, with roasted whole lamb and mare's milk wine served in abundance.

Director Chen Jialin got drunk and wouldn't let go of Gu Heng's hand. With snot and tears streaming down his face, he said that making this movie was not easy, that Gu Heng acted well, that Yang Mi was talented, and that he would work with them again in the future.

Are you asking us to act in your film, or are you asking us to invest in your business?

But Gu Heng listened with a smile. These kinds of polite words are just for show; if you take them seriously, you've already lost.
