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

The Legend of Condor Heroes has finally finished airing. Although the online ratings are polarized, none of that matters to Gu Heng. He has no negative comments, and in the final battle of Xiangyang, his fight scene, where he leads the Beggars' Sect disciples into battle with his long spear, surpasses the original version and has attracted many fans.

But before Gu Heng could even savor the vanity, Su Qing had already arranged things for him.

Su Qing was extremely anxious during this period. The boss and Mimi were both very popular, but they themselves were not in a hurry.

In her view, if the current popularity isn't converted into tangible resources, it will cool down in a few months.

This is absolutely a waste!

So, Su Qing transformed into a ruthless sales machine, finding several endorsements for Yang Mi.

After all, the boss had instructed her to hone her acting skills this semester, so naturally he wouldn't give her any acting roles.

Yang Mi seemed to be enjoying herself. Although she kept muttering "I'm so tired, so tired," her fox-like eyes narrowed into slits with a smile when she saw the endorsement fee coming in.

This girl is quite the little money-grubber.

As for Gu Heng, this presented Su Qing with a dilemma.

Most scriptwriters wouldn't consider her, and Su Qing wouldn't dare take on those terrible films that were just trying to ride the wave of popularity.

In the end, Su Qing searched around and used the connections she had built up in the Hong Kong entertainment circle to get Gu Heng an audition opportunity for Wei Jinghao in "A Man's True Colors".

Gu Heng took a look at the script and laughed.

Isn't this like Wolf Warrior eliminating the three evils?

Aside from Xie Tingfeng's cover-up case a few years ago, the other two main actors in the film are not exactly innocent either.

Especially that one.

Gu Heng stroked his chin, a playful smile playing on his lips.

This is making him compete with that other person for the role.

Although that person is not good-looking and looks whatever he wants, that doesn't stop him from having a good father.

"Boss, this is a big production by director Chen Musheng, an action movie."

Su Qing enthusiastically promoted the role, saying, "Although he's the third male lead, he has a lot of screen time, and his character is very likable."

"Okay, I'll take it." Gu Heng closed the script. "It's a good opportunity to go to Hong Kong and see what the so-called prosperity there is like."

Three days later, in Hong Kong.

Gu Heng, accompanied by Su Qing and Wang Gang, arrived at the audition location discreetly.

At this time, although the Hong Kong entertainment industry had begun to decline, it still retained its arrogance.

There's still a certain amount of prejudice against artists from mainland China.

The novel "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is quite popular in Hong Kong. A receptionist passing by recognized Gu Heng, but only glanced at him a couple of times. Her gaze didn't show much respect, but rather a kind of scrutiny.

"Tch, what kind of attitude is that?" Wang Gang, being straightforward, couldn't help but mutter.

"Alright, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake." Gu Heng patted Wang Gang on the shoulder, looking completely unconcerned.

Just as the three of them reached the front desk and were about to speak, a familiar voice came from behind them.

"Huh? Isn't this about Gu Heng?"

Gu Heng turned around and laughed.

Isn't this like Wolf Warrior?

Wu Jing was wearing a simple T-shirt, holding a bottle of mineral water, and looking at him with a surprised expression.

"Brother Jing, what a coincidence!" Gu Heng smiled and extended his hand.

Wu Jing is also from Beijing, and the two of them hit it off with their Beijing accents, which made them feel especially close.

Having been in the Hong Kong entertainment circle for so many years, he knows the difficulties mainlanders face in this environment.

"Here for an audition?" Wu Jing looked Gu Heng up and down. "The Wei Jinghao role?"

"Yeah, let's try our luck."

"Come on, come on, I'll take you there." Wu Jing was also very helpful, and immediately put his arm around Gu Heng's shoulder and led him inside. "Director Chen is inside, but..."

Wu Jing hesitated, glanced around, and lowered his voice to say, "Your opponent this time is no ordinary person."

Gu Heng knew perfectly well what was going on, and smiled, "I know."

Wu Jing gave a thumbs up: "It's good that you know what's going on. These Hong Kong people... sigh, never mind."

The group walked to the door of the audition room.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a male voice with a slight Cantonese accent coming from inside, his tone full of impatience.

"Director Chen, is there even a need for a test? Giving him this role was a natural progression. Although his skills are lacking, we can use a stunt double. Besides, with Big Brother's connections, the publicity will be much easier. Is there really any need to consider this?"

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow and glanced at Wu Jing.

Wu Jing shrugged and whispered in Gu Heng's ear, "That's a producer, a snob."

Gu Heng sneered.

substitute?

If action movies all use stunt doubles, then what's the point of watching action movies?

But this is clearly not a problem in the eyes of capital.

As long as they can get that big brother's name on it, even a pile of shit can be packaged as gold.

"Let's go in." Gu Heng straightened his clothes, a signature calm smile on his face.

Push the door open and enter.

Several people were sitting in the room, and the middle-aged man in the middle, wearing glasses and with a serious expression, was director Chen Musheng.

The guy next to me with his legs crossed must be the producer who spoke earlier.

Chen Musheng's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Heng enter.

His appearance is impeccable, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding righteousness, perfectly matching the character of Wei Jinghao, an upright policeman.

Much better than that second-generation rich kid who looked like he hadn't woken up yet.

But the producer merely glanced at it, snorted arrogantly, and said, "From the mainland? Is your Cantonese standard? We want that Hong Kong flavor, can you pull it off?"

This is just nitpicking.

Although Wei Jinghao is a Hong Kong police officer, there's no rule that he has to speak with a thick Cantonese accent, right?

Gu Heng wasn't annoyed. He smiled slightly and spoke fluent Cantonese: "Mr. Li, as an actor, language is the most basic skill. If you think I'm not good enough, how about we talk about the pay? I heard that young master's pay is quite high."

This Cantonese speaking style completely stumped the producer.

He hadn't expected this kid from the mainland to speak Cantonese so fluently.

In fact, Gu Heng had spent a few years in Guangdong in his previous life, so he does have some talent for languages.

Chen Musheng became interested and sat up straight: "Not bad, you've passed the language hurdle. Come on, let's try acting."

Gu Heng didn't waste any words. He took the script, glanced at it briefly, and began to perform.

This scene depicts Wei Jinghao's psychological struggle when facing bandits.

Gu Heng instantly got into character, his eyes changing from gentle to sharp, perfectly portraying the sense of justice and the decisiveness in the face of evil.

Especially that line; although there was no hysterical roar, the suppressed anger in his heart sent chills down one's spine.

Chen Musheng nodded repeatedly as he read.

This acting is far superior to that of the Dragon Prince who could only stare blankly or have a poker face.

But the producer clearly wasn't going to give up so easily. He tapped the table and said sarcastically, "The dialogue scenes are good, but this is an action movie! Can you even fight? Don't let it turn out to be all show and no substance, forcing the crew to spend money on stunt doubles. We might as well just use..."
