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

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.

If using Gu Heng would require hiring a stand-in, it would be better to use that other person, at least they would give their father face.

Gu Heng smiled.

He unbuttoned his cuffs, cracked his wrists, and made a snapping sound.

"Whether it works or not, we'll find out by trying."

"How do I test it? Do you expect me to find a stuntman?" the producer said with a disdainful look.

Just then, Wu Jing, who was standing to the side, stepped forward, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Director Chen, how about I give Gu Heng a hand-to-hand combat?"

As someone who has trained in martial arts, Wu Jing could tell from Gu Heng's walking posture that this kid had definitely practiced and had a very stable lower body.

Chen Musheng's eyes lit up: "Alright! Enough is enough."

The room wasn't very large, but it was enough for the two masters.

Wu Jing didn't stand on ceremony. He clasped his hands in a salute, then rushed forward and threw a straight punch at Gu Heng's face.

Although the punch was delivered with reduced force, it was extremely fast, accompanied by a whooshing sound.

Gu Heng remained calm and composed, using the Bagua Step to dodge to the side and then strike Wu Jing's wrist with a palm strike.

The two instantly became entangled in combat.

When the fight broke out, both Chen Musheng and the producer were stunned.

This isn't some fancy, formulaic tactic; it's a real, hard-fought battle.

Gu Heng used traditional Baguazhang and grappling techniques, his movements were clean and crisp, without any hesitation.

Wu Jing, on the other hand, combined the strengths of many schools of thought, and his movements were fierce and swift.

The two exchanged blows, their fists and feet striking each other with dull thuds, sending the audience's adrenaline soaring.

"Bang!"

Finally, the two exchanged a fist bump, each took three steps back, and smiled at each other.

"That was great!" Wu Jing laughed loudly, shaking his slightly numb arm. "Gu Heng, you're quite skilled! You're a trained fighter!"

Gu Heng was also a little out of breath, but he was mostly delighted: "Brother Jing, you're too kind."

That's what you call an action movie actor!

Chen Musheng immediately made his decision: "You're the one! The role of Wei Jinghao is perfect for you!"

The producer opened his mouth as if to say something, but after seeing Chen Musheng's determined gaze and the strength that Gu Heng had just displayed, he ultimately kept quiet.

Although his elder brother's reputation is important, he can't bear the responsibility if the movie's quality is poor.

Moreover, Gu Heng's move just now really shocked him.

Gu Heng then signed a contract; the pay wasn't much, just a few hundred thousand yuan.

This amount of money is barely enough to fill a tooth gap for Gu Heng right now, but what he cares about is this role and the opportunity to break into the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

That evening, Gu Heng took Wu Jing out for hot pot.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Wu Jing had drunk a bit too much, his face flushed, and he began to complain about the current state of the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

"Gu Heng, you have no idea how damn tough it is to make it in Hong Kong." Wu Jing gulped down a mouthful of beer. "These people are incredibly xenophobic. It's very difficult for mainland actors to get ahead here. If it weren't for wanting to learn something, I would have gone back long ago."

Gu Heng listened as he cooked the meat in the hot pot.

He knew the bitterness in Wu Jing's heart.

With such great kung fu skills, it's frustrating to only be able to play supporting roles or villains here.

"Brother Jing, don't be discouraged." Gu Heng raised his glass and clinked it with Wu Jing's. "Our mainland market is the future. The Hong Kong market is rotten; let's go back and make our own."

Wu Jing's eyes lit up: "You think so too? I've actually always had this idea, I want to go back to the mainland and make my own action movie! A real man's movie!"

Gu Heng smiled.

The future "Wolf Warrior" is already grinding its teeth at this point.

"Good idea." Gu Heng took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Wu Jing. "Brother Jing, if you ever need money in the future, just come to me. I can't speak for other things, but when it comes to investment, I, Gu Heng, do have some expertise."

Wu Jing took the business card and gave Gu Heng a deep look.

He knew Gu Heng wasn't joking.

After all, they didn't even blink when they invested millions in "Crazy Stone".

"Alright! I'll keep that in mind!"

The two enjoyed the meal immensely.

Gu Heng not only secured a role, but also made an early investment in a future billion-dollar movie star.

This is a huge profit!

Gu Heng then returned to Beijing, as there was still some time before his flight departed.

Upon returning to the company, I encountered Ning Hao, who had dark circles under his eyes and a scruffy beard.

After months of hard work, he finally finished the art film "Green Grassland".

"Mr. Gu, the film is finished. Would you like to take a look?" Ning Hao asked nervously.

Although Gu Heng told him to take pictures as he pleased, he was still unsure.

Gu Heng waved his hand: "No need to look anymore, I believe in your talent. Next, we just need to submit it for review and then send it to the competition."

Upon hearing this, Ning Hao's eyes widened: "Participate in the competition? Mr. Gu, you're planning to...?"

"Of the three major film festivals, we can't make it to Berlin and Cannes; there's not enough time," Gu Heng thought for a moment. "Let's go to Venice first; it'll be good to get acquainted with the city."

Venice Film Festival!

Three of them!

But the review process needs to be expedited.

Gu Heng acted swiftly, making a direct call to Han Sanping.

"Third Master, I have a manuscript I'd like you to review..."

Han Sanping naturally took care of Ning Hao, after all, "Crazy Stone" earned China Film Group a lot of face and money.

Now he's just waiting for Ning Hao's next movie.

With Han Sanping as a powerful figure paving the way, the approval process was completed quickly.

All green lights!

Then register directly for the Venice Film Festival.

Before Gu Heng could even catch his breath after finishing dealing with the movie, Chen Kai stormed into the office with a frenzied expression.

That expression was like winning the lottery... no, even more exaggerated.

"Boss! Boss! It's blown up! It's completely blown up!"

Chen Kai, a top student in the finance department of Renmin University, was usually impeccably dressed and unfazed even in the face of a collapsing mountain. But today, his tie was askew, his hair was disheveled, and he was holding a financial statement in his hand, his hands trembling as if he had Parkinson's disease.

Gu Heng was drinking tea when he was startled by his appearance.

"What's wrong? Did the sky fall or the earth collapse? Is it really necessary to lose your composure like this?" Gu Heng calmly put down his teacup. "Chen Kai... Brother Kai, mind your manners, your manners."

"Style my ass!" Chen Kai cursed, slamming the report on Gu Heng's desk. His voice cracked, "Boss, Chihong Zinc & Germanium! Chihong Zinc & Germanium's share reform has been approved! Trading resumed today, and it immediately hit two consecutive limit-up days, the stock price soaring to 32!"

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow and glanced at the report.

Oh, 32 yuan.

He remembered that this speculative stock was going to have a 10-for-10 bonus share issue next year, and this was nothing compared to what he had seen.

"Calm down." Gu Heng pursed his lips. "This is just the beginning."

"Just the beginning? Boss, do you know what this means?" Chen Kai exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly. "How much was our initial investment? Now, with a 10-for-2.7 stock split, all our Yuanjian accounts combined will hold a total of 371 million shares!"

Chen Kai took a deep breath, as if calming his heart which was about to explode, and then said, word by word.

"Market value... 110 million RMB!"

Sorry I'm late, I had to rewrite it before it was released.

There will be a few more chapters tonight.
