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

After the World Cup ended.

Gu Heng bid farewell to Yang Xiaomi, who was still basking in the joy of the immense popularity of "Wang Zhaojun," and flew to Hong Kong with Wang Gang, Chen Kai, and the others.

This girl walks with a swagger now; it's only because Gu Heng keeps her in check that she's not so arrogant.

As soon as they got off the plane, the group headed straight for the horse racing club. Wu Jing was already waiting there, his wrinkled face beaming like a chrysanthemum.

There's nothing else to it; although the hand he took wasn't much, it was still something!

After the group came out with the checks, Gu Heng immediately helped Wu Jing up: "Brother Jing, this isn't fun. With so much money in your pocket, it wouldn't be right not to treat you to a seafood feast, would it?"

"Please! You absolutely have to! Order whatever you want!" Wu Jing was incredibly generous, waving his hand with the air of a nouveau riche.

After a satisfying meal, Chen Kai took the money to handle the subsequent transfer matters; this was a multi-million dollar deal, and couldn't be taken lightly. Gu Heng and Wang Gang stayed behind, as the filming of "A Man's True Colors" was about to begin.

Those Hong Kong media outlets that had been spouting nonsense before swarmed around Gu Hengzhen like flies drawn to a scent.

They shoved cameras and microphones right in my face, asking incredibly tricky questions.

"Mr. Gu, I heard you brought your own investment to get into the cast and squeezed out Young Master Fang?"

Are mainland actors able to adapt to Hong Kong action scenes?

Gu Heng ignored them completely, put on his sunglasses, and went straight into the film crew under Wang Gang's escort. Talking to these people was a waste of breath.

For this film, "Men's True Colors," Universe Entertainment really went all out.

Besides Gu Heng, the other two main actors are also rising stars.

Xie Tingfeng, Yu Wenle.

Add to that the villainous big boss Wu Jing, and this lineup looks incredibly formidable.

The opening ceremony was very simple, in a typical Hong Kong style: worshipping the gods, cutting a pig, and giving out red envelopes.

Xie Tingfeng, well, he definitely has that vibe. I don't know if it's because of that cover-up case, but he seems a bit gloomy, doesn't talk much, and just stands there with an aura of "keep away, strangers don't want to bother me."

However, Gu Heng knew that this guy was actually a repressed pervert.

Moreover, he harbored a deep resentment, wanting to prove that he didn't rely on his father or hype, but rather on his own hard work.

The group exchanged a few simple pleasantries, their acquaintance consisting mainly of nods. Shawn Yue was quite polite, but his eyes held a hint of scrutiny.

Next, filming officially began.

On the first day of filming, Chen Musheng gave this group a hard time.

Let's go straight for the big stage!

It was a chase scene, complete with explosions. Chen Musheng is a ruthless guy; his filmmaking revolves around one word: explosions!

He can't sleep at night unless he blows up a few buildings or destroys a few cars.

"Action!"

As soon as the director gave the order, the entire set erupted in chaos.

Xie Tingfeng is a real daredevil. He went up to the second floor! Without even using a wire harness, he just smashed himself onto the roof of the car below.

A loud "bang!"

Gu Heng, watching from the side, felt a pain in his teeth. This wasn't filming a movie; this was playing with fire! It was only because of Xie Tingfeng; any other young actor would probably have wet their pants on the spot.

However, Gu Heng was not idle either. His character, Wei Jinghao, is a police officer full of a sense of justice. Although he is not that crazy, he has plenty of action scenes.

Especially his scenes with Wu Jing.

Wu Jing's portrayal of Tian Yangsheng this time is truly incredibly handsome and ruthless. Wearing sunglasses, his bandit-like aura is enough to scare children even through the screen.

In pursuit of realism, Chen Musheng demanded that the fight be real.

This is really tough on Shawn Yue. This guy usually just shows off, he's never seen anything like this before.

After a fight scene, Wu Jing kicked him three meters away, and he couldn't get up for a long time. That wasn't acting; it really hurt!

Soon it was Gu Heng's turn. Gu Heng took off his jacket, revealing his well-defined muscles, and struck a pose: "Brother Jing, don't hold back, go for real!"

"Alright! Then watch out!"

The two instantly clashed. The entire arena fell silent at the start of the fight.

Punch to the flesh!

The sound of muscles colliding made everyone present gasp.

"Click! Perfect!"

When Chen Musheng called for a stop, his eyes were shining.

The subsequent filming progressed quickly, but it was also more tiring.

Chen Musheng is a workaholic; once he turns on his computer, he's like a wound-up toy.

But that afternoon, the film crew suddenly stopped filming.

Because the director is missing.

In the film set's rest area, Gu Heng was playing cards with Xie Tingfeng and Wu Jing. Shawn Yue was reading the script nearby, occasionally glancing at the card game.

"A pair of Kings!" Gu Heng threw down two cards.

"No." Xie Tingfeng shook his head. This guy always looked cool when he played cards; if you didn't know better, you'd think he was defusing a bomb.

"Hey, where did the director go?" Wu Jing couldn't help but ask. "It's the middle of the afternoon, that's not like him."

Everyone looked puzzled. Chen Musheng was known as a workaholic, the kind of person who wouldn't leave the front lines even with minor injuries.

Gu Heng calmly arranged the cards in his hand, his expression composed: "He went to the hospital."

"The hospital? Director Chen is sick?" Xie Tingfeng finally reacted and asked with a frown.

"It's nothing serious, I just told him to get checked out," Gu Heng said casually. "I mentioned it to him a couple of days ago because his throat was a little sore and he had a nosebleed."

Actually, it was just a brief mention.

Gu Heng stared at Chen Musheng for a long time that day, then pretended to be serious and said, "Director Chen, looking at your face, your nostrils are dark, and your forehead... cough cough, anyway, my family has been practicing traditional Chinese medicine for generations, and I'm afraid there's something wrong with your nasopharynx. You should go get it checked out quickly, or it might become a serious illness."

Chen Musheng initially didn't believe it, thinking Gu Heng was talking nonsense. But he couldn't resist Gu Heng's confident gaze, and coupled with the fact that he had indeed been feeling unwell lately, he went to see him with some skepticism.

Gu Heng knew that Chen Musheng later died of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which was already in its late stages when it was discovered. Such a good director, we should try our best to save him.

Just then, Chen Musheng returned.

His face was a little pale, but his eyes revealed a sense of relief and...gratitude.

He was holding a medical report, his hands were shaking.

"Director Chen, how's it going?" Wu Jing quickly went up to him.

Chen Musheng took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Gu Heng, and strode over, grabbing Gu Heng's hand: "Ah Heng, you're amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

"How so?" Gu Heng asked with a knowing smile.

"Nasopharyngeal carcinoma... early stage! The doctor said that if it's detected early, as long as that... what's it called again? Anyway, it hasn't spread yet, the cure rate is very high!" Chen Musheng was so excited he was almost incoherent. "If it had been delayed any longer, then it would be hard to say!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Xie Tingfeng's gaze towards Gu Heng changed. This guy is not only good at fighting, but he can also treat illnesses?

"Luck, luck." Gu Heng waved his hand, concealing his merits and fame. "Early detection and early treatment are key. Director Chen, don't push yourself too hard."

Chen Musheng was extremely grateful; this was a life-saving grace!

Although the doctor advised him to start treatment as soon as possible, Chen Musheng, with his stubborn nature, insisted on finishing filming first. However, because of his relationship with Gu Heng, he found Gu Heng more and more pleasing to the eye.

In the following scenes, everyone realized something was wrong.

Gu Heng's screen time increased rapidly.

He was originally just the third male lead, but Chen Musheng added a little bit here and a little bit there.

"Ah Heng, add a roundhouse kick to this scene, make it look cooler!"

"Aheng, give this dramatic scene another go, give it a close-up!"

"Aheng, you say this line!"

Xie Tingfeng and Shawn Yue were both dumbfounded. This is how Wei Jinghao is practically becoming the male lead!

However, no one had anything to say. Firstly, Gu Heng did indeed save the director's life, and secondly... his acting skills and physical abilities were certainly up to par!

Especially in those high-difficulty action scenes, Gu Heng really dared to take risks, jumping off the building without even blinking.

This even impressed Xie Tingfeng, who always prided himself on working incredibly hard. He privately offered Gu Heng a cigarette, asking, "Brother, you've trained before?"

"Just blindly practicing." Gu Heng took the cigarette and smiled.

This is a case of good deeds being rewarded, and they even managed to steal the spotlight.

By the time filming was nearing completion, the character of Gu Heng had become just as well-developed as the character of Xie Tingfeng.

As for the producer who initially tried to intimidate Gu Heng?

Now, when they see Gu Heng, they are extremely respectful, addressing him as "Young Master Gu" repeatedly. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Gu Heng was their long-lost father.
