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

"Stay calm, stay calm."

Gu Heng curled his lip, looking at Chen Kai, who was now completely devoid of his elite demeanor, with disdain. "Speak clearly. So what if it's over a hundred million? This is nothing! You're already thinking of streaking to celebrate with this little bit of money?"

Chen Kai swallowed hard. He really wanted to go streaking, but he held back for the sake of his boss's face.

"Remember, continue to hold on, don't sell a single share." Gu Heng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes revealing a calm demeanor. "This meat isn't even stewed properly yet. If you lift the lid now, the aroma will dissipate."

Just as Chen Kai was still immersed in the illusory pleasure of being a billionaire, another piece of good news came from the finance department.

The revenue sharing for "Crazy Stone" has arrived.

This dark horse film is truly impressive. With an 80% investment share, plus a 4% cut, and after deducting all sorts of taxes, the net profit was a full 3033 million.

The company's cash flow surged instantly, and the numbers in the account gave people a great sense of reassurance.

As the saying goes, "With money in your pocket, you have nothing to fear."

Gu Heng, deep down, has a bit of a hoarder's mentality. It's nice to see money sitting in the account, but it's even more satisfying to spend it and exchange it for something of greater value.

What's the cheapest thing these days? Copyright!

Youku is thriving among video websites these days, thanks to its comprehensive and comprehensive film and television library. Other video websites are envious and want to buy the online rights to some newly released films and TV series to enhance their image.

As a result, this group of people went off excitedly with the checks, and guess what?

Prices have gone up here!

It turns out that those cheap copyrights had already been snapped up by Vision Entertainment. The remaining less desirable ones had their prices driven up by Gu Heng, that troublemaker.

His colleagues were furious and cursed him countless times behind his back.

"Gu Heng, you truly deserve to die!"

In response to such curses, Gu Heng said: "Curse me more, I love to hear it."

Having nearly finished clearing out the film and television dramas, Gu Heng waved his hand, instructing Su Qing to continue monitoring the situation, making sure no one slipped through the net. Then, he turned his greedy… no, shrewd gaze to the online literature industry.

This is a blue ocean that has not yet been completely polluted by capital.

What do the names "Zhu Xian," "Scarlet Heart," and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" mean in later generations? They're practically walking money-printing machines, each a project worth hundreds of millions!

"Scarlet Heart" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" were relatively easy to sell, as copyright awareness wasn't as strong at the time; they were sold to anyone who paid. Su Qing went there with her checkbook and secured the rights in just a few meals.

The toughest challenge is "Zhu Xian".

Gu Heng vaguely remembered that the copyright of "Zhu Xian" was sold to Shanghai Film Group in 07, but by this time in 06, it had already been targeted by several groups of people. Among them, the one who made the most noise was the big-bearded Zhang Jizhong.

Unfortunately, Big Beard has a flaw: he's a notorious "modification maniac." He'll take a perfectly good book and completely revamp it. Xiao Ting, while wanting to make money, is also a man of temper; upon hearing Big Beard's adaptation plans, the negotiations immediately fell apart.

"Su Qing, you handle the rest. Take as much as you can." Gu Heng looked at the documents in his hand, a confident smile playing on his lips. "As for 'Zhu Xian,' I'll handle that myself."

A few days later, at a high-end teahouse in Beijing.

Gu Heng, accompanied by two powerful figures, swaggered and sat down opposite Xiao Ting.

The one on the left is Liu Yifei, the "Fairy Sister," who looks like she just woke up and was forcibly dragged here by Gu Heng after finishing the promotional tour for "Fearless." She plays the blind girl Yue Ci in "Fearless," and although her role is small, her aloof and elegant aura still lingers.

The one on the right is our childhood sweetheart, Yang Mi.

This configuration is quite luxurious.

Xiao Ting was also a young man, and he was stunned when he saw this scene.

Gu Heng pointed to the left: "Lu Xueqi."

He then pointed to the right: "Biyao."

This is like something out of a book! A perfect fit!

Liu Yifei didn't care. She came as Gu Heng had asked her to. At this moment, she was holding a teacup and staring blankly. Her otherworldly temperament was exactly like Lu Xueqi herself.

Yang Mi, on the other hand, was much more lively. This girl was a die-hard fan of "Zhu Xian" and complained to Gu Heng about the plot many times. She even threatened to send the author razor blades more than once. She cried her eyes out, especially when she saw the chapter where Bi Yao blocked the sword.

And today I actually met the person in question.

Yang Mi remained calm and even greeted them politely.

As expected, online banter shouldn't be taken at face value. In reality, everyone here is a decent person; sending razor blades is just something to vent about.

"Mr. Xiao, let's not beat around the bush." ​​Gu Heng didn't mince words and directly stated his terms: "The price will definitely be higher than Big Beard's; we can discuss profit sharing; and most importantly—"

Gu Heng paused, then pointed to a line of bold text on the contract.

"Respect for the original work. I've included these four words in the contract. If this is violated, you may unilaterally terminate the authorization."

That's incredibly righteous!

Looking at the two leading ladies who seemed tailor-made for him, and then at the sincere contract, Xiao Ting's hesitation vanished long ago.

Big Beard? Who's that? I don't know him!

Finally, both parties happily signed the agreement. Gu Heng acquired the film and television adaptation rights to "Zhu Xian" for a price that seems a bit expensive now, but will be practically free in the future.

Of course, taking it down is one thing.

Gu Heng knew perfectly well that with current special effects technology, trying to recreate the fantasy feel of "Zhu Xian" was pure nonsense. It would just result in a low-budget, poorly made drama with cheap special effects.

Let's just leave it there. Anyway, this thing won't spoil, and it'll only get more valuable the longer it's stored.

With business done, it's time for some leisure time.

Gu Heng had originally planned to take the two beauties for a good stroll around Beijing, and it had to be the kind of "young and dashing youth" feeling, right?

result……

That was a real "stroll".

Xidan, Wangfujing...

Three hours later.

Liu Yifei and Yang Mi walked hand in hand ahead, chattering away as if they had endless things to say. Holding milk tea in their hands, they moved with light steps, showing no signs of fatigue.

And five meters behind them.

Gu Heng had two bags hanging around his neck, three shopping bags in his left hand, two shoe boxes in his right hand, and a huge plush toy tucked under his arm.

He now truly understood the saying: Don't go shopping with a woman, no matter how beautiful she is.

"Gu Heng, hurry up! There's a shop up ahead with really nice clothes!" Yang Mi turned around, waved to Gu Heng, and smiled brightly.

Liu Yifei also turned around, giving an apologetic yet irrepressible smile.

"Coming..." Gu Heng replied weakly.

The passing men cast sympathetic glances, but when they saw what the two girls looked like, their gazes instantly turned into envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Ah, you can't imagine the happiness Gu Heng experiences.

This is what they call a bittersweet experience.
