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

The visuals on TV were beautiful. Chen Jialin, that old man, is truly skilled, especially when it comes to filming historical dramas with a heavy historical feel; he's an expert there.

Although the first two episodes mainly focus on Wang Zhaojun's life before entering the palace, that is, the stage of waiting to be selected as a concubine.

But this is precisely the peak of Yang Mi's beauty!

On screen, Yang Mi, dressed in coarse clothes and simple hairpins, couldn't hide her charm. Her face was full of collagen, so tender it looked like you could squeeze water out of it.

"Oh my, this girl is so beautifully photographed!" Yang Chunling was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law... no, it was like a mother looking at her daughter. The more she looked, the more she liked her, and she slapped her thigh and laughed.

Liu Xiaoli nodded and commented professionally, "The lighting is excellent. Director Chen is using cinematic techniques to film a TV series, amplifying all of Mimi's facial features."

Yang Xiaolin stood up straight, and the smile on his face was absolutely radiant.

My daughter appeared on CCTV-1! And she was the lead actress!

Now that he's done bragging in the office, who will dare say that Old Yang only knows how to make Three-Cup Chicken?

Gu Heng didn't say much, peeling melon seeds in his hand and nodding to himself.

That twelve million was well spent!

After the two episodes aired, everyone was still a little unsatisfied.

Yang Mi blushed, a rare occurrence for her. She nestled in the corner of the sofa, pretending to be dead while holding a remote control, but actually her ears were perked up, waiting for praise.

In the following days, the ratings for "Wang Zhaojun" soared.

After all, it's based on CCTV-1, and the show is indeed well-produced.

The ratings have steadily climbed from just over 6 points on the premiere and are about to break 9.

For a historical drama to achieve this level of success in 2006 was quite remarkable.

The people in the industry were completely convinced now.

Previously, some people made sarcastic remarks such as "getting into the cast with financial backing" or "just a pretty face."

What now?

Everyone shut up.

So what if someone brings their own investment to the production? They still put on a good show!

This portrayal of Wang Zhaojun captures both the naivety of a young girl and the dignified presence of a leading lady. Most importantly, her face is absolutely stunning!

Especially those brands that were previously observing the market, their phones were ringing off the hook with calls to Su Qing.

The forum was bustling with activity.

On Tianya, Mop, and Baidu Tieba, there are posts discussing Yang Mi everywhere.

There were even amusing scenes of two opposing fan groups arguing amongst themselves.

One faction consists of staunch Guo Xiang supporters, who believe that Little East Evil is Yang Mi's true love, being lively and adorable, and that "Big Brother" she calls out is enough to melt anyone's heart.

Another faction consists of newly emerging supporters of the Zhaojun faction, who believe that this is the peak of her beauty, dignified and gentle, the true demeanor of an empress!

"Only children make choices; I want them all!"

I don't know which ID posted this, but it instantly became a trending topic.

Immediately afterwards, netizens couldn't hold back their creativity.

Today's netizens have evolved; they've learned to create their own memes.

Someone combined Guo Xiang's horseback riding picture with Wang Zhaojun's pipa playing picture, with the caption: "Riding horses and fighting battles by day, playing the pipa and singing songs by night, life is endlessly joyful."

Gu Heng laughed until his stomach hurt as he looked at these posts.

This generation of netizens is really something!

However, with the arrival of July, Gu Heng had to shift some of his attention away from the TV series.

Because the World Cup in Germany has reached its climax!

In the semi-final, Germany will face Italy.

That match was absolutely thrilling.

With the score at 0-0 in regulation time, extra time looked set to end in a draw as well, leading to a brutal penalty shootout.

Right in the 119th minute!

A great Italian left-back! He has inherited the glorious tradition of Italy!

Grosso has done a great job!

That curling shot sent the German machine straight home.

Gu Heng clenched his fist hard in front of the television.

now it's right!

Although the wheels of history may sometimes veer off course, in matters of this magnitude, things must still proceed according to the script.

With that kick, Italy advanced to the finals, and Gu Heng's heavy bet on Italy was now a sure thing.

If we beat France again, it will be a complete sweep!

July 9, Berlin Olympic Stadium.

finals!

Italy vs. France.

In that game, fans all over the world remembered that bald guy.

Zidane.

This guy made a stunning exit in his final game of his career.

After Materazzi's foul mouth started babbling on and on, Zidane turned around, lowered his head, and then charged forward.

boom!

He crashed headfirst into Materazzi's chest.

This header not only knocked Materazzi over, but also sent the World Cup trophy flying.

Red card!

A master of his generation departed in such a desolate manner, leaving the world with a lonely silhouette.

Gu Heng watched the replay on TV and marveled at it.

Even screenwriters wouldn't dare to write something like this, but it actually happened in real life.

The match ended as Trezeguet's penalty kick slammed into the crossbar and bounced out.

Italy wins!

At that moment, Gu Heng seemed to hear the sound of gold coins falling into his pocket, clinking and jingling, more beautiful than any symphony.

Chen Kai called almost immediately.

Gu Heng turned on speakerphone and listened to Chen Kai's report on the battle results.

A principal of HK$500 million. In the stock market, that would be nothing but a drop in the ocean. But in a meat grinder like the World Cup, it can truly turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, and a motorcycle into a Land Rover.

After round after round of snowballing, plus that precise bet in the final.

The final total amount was 5470 million!

After deducting the initial investment of 500 million, the net profit is 4970 million!

I hung up the phone.

Looking at Gu Heng's grinning face, Yang Mi knew that he had made a fortune again.

Gu Heng scooped the girl up in his arms and spun her around. "We're rich!"

"How much?" Yang Mi's eyes widened like saucers.

Gu Heng held up a few fingers and waved them in front of Yang Mi.

"So much?!" Yang Mi exclaimed, then hugged Gu Heng's neck tightly. "Gu Heng! It's on me! I want a big meal!"

"Please, please, please!"

These past few days have been absolutely fantastic.

During the day, I watch Qingmei dominate on TV, reaping national popularity; at night, I watch the Italian team sweep through the field, raking in euros.

This kind of dull and tedious life of the wealthy, tsk tsk, it's really...

That was fucking awesome!
