Since filming wrapped on "Men's True Colors", Gu Heng went to Italy without stopping, and with all the messy social engagements, he really hasn't had a proper rest.

Having finally found a break, Gu Heng gave himself two days off.

Of course, this also caused hardship for the land at home...

He spent two shameless days with Yang Mi in the courtyard house until she couldn't take it anymore, and that's when the absurd days finally came to an end.

After all, there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not fields that are ruined by plowing. Sometimes you have to listen to the opposite of this saying. If you plow too much land, it will eventually start to smoke.

During the meal, Gu Heng casually mentioned, "By the way, I've already secured the rights to 'Chinese Paladin 3' from Tangren Media."

Yang Mi, who was eating porridge, immediately perked up her ears: "Chinese Paladin 3? Xuejian?"

Gu Heng picked up a piece of pickled vegetable with his chopsticks. "It has to be you. Who else could play that loud and boisterous young lady?"

Yang Mi didn't care whether it was a compliment or not; she dropped her chopsticks, hugged Gu Heng's neck, and kissed him, saying, "I knew you were the best to me!"

This girl has become quite shrewd now. Any project that Gu Heng takes a liking to is practically guaranteed to be a hit. She's really nailed this connection.

After the initial excitement wore off, Yang Mi dragged Gu Heng to school.

After all, the food was already on her lips; if she couldn't eat it, she wouldn't have the face to stay by Gu Heng's side.

Upon arriving at the Beijing Film Academy, the two parted ways. Gu Heng, familiar with the place, found his way to Cui Xinqin's office.

Ever since watching Section Chief Jia and Ning Hao win awards in Venice, Gu Heng has been itching to do the same.

While acting is enjoyable, he also longed to experience the thrill of directing, where he had complete control over the entire process.

I had previously discussed this matter with two bigwigs, Wang Jinsong and Tian Zhuangzhuang.

These two really spoiled him. After confirming several times that Gu Heng wasn't just acting on impulse, they readily agreed.

"Want to study directing? No problem. You can attend any course, whether it's in literature, cinematography, or directing. But..."

Tian Zhuangzhuang, that old chain smoker, tapped the table and said, "If you fail your acting course, don't blame me for having your Aunt Cui deal with you."

As a result, Gu Heng, who was originally the senior student in the acting department, has now become a casual visitor.

In the morning, I was rehearsing lines with people in the acting department, and in the afternoon, I went into the film analysis room of the directing department and chatted with a bunch of heavy smokers.

During this time, Gu Heng's thieving eyes were also busy.

He actually spotted a few familiar faces in the directing class.

Especially Shen Ao, who later filmed "All or Nothing".

What a promising talent!

Looking at this still-naive future director, Gu Heng's mind was racing with calculations.

To paraphrase a quote from our fascinating ancestors:

Oh my god! Oh my god! It's all my god!

Gu Heng was still dreaming of stamp collecting at school when Ning Hao came knocking on his door again.

I thought that since this guy had just won an award, he would at least take his wife on a honeymoon or something.

Who knew that the Venice trophy would be like a powerful stimulant, keeping Xing Aina and me at home day and night...

The new script has been put together.

Gu Heng took the script and glanced at it; it was titled "Silver Medal Driver".

Well, that's how "Crazy Racer" came about.

A ten million investment yielded a box office of one hundred million.

"Boss, how about it? Let's go even crazier this time!" Ning Hao had huge dark circles under his eyes, but his eyes were gleaming.

Now that the draft is out, let's get to work.

Without saying a word, Gu Heng immediately called Han Sanping.

After confirming that Third Master was having tea in his office, Gu Heng took Ning Hao straight to China Film Group.

As soon as he entered the China Film Group building and the elevator doors opened, Gu Heng was delighted.

Hey, isn't this Mr. Wang from Huayi?

Wang Zhongjun, dressed in a suit and followed by two assistants, was about to leave.

Although the two had never sat down for a proper conversation, they had met at various banquets.

"Oh, Mr. Wang, what a rare guest!" Gu Heng greeted him with a smile.

When Wang Zhongjun saw Gu Heng, and then looked at Ning Hao with his messy hair next to him, his fox-like eyes instantly lit up.

"President Gu, Director Ning, what a coincidence!" Wang Zhongjun stopped, his smile incredibly warm. "Looking for Chairman Han?"

In today's circle, who doesn't know that Ning Hao is Gu Heng's trump card?

The fact that these two went to China Film Group together must be about their new movie.

"Yes, Ning Hao got a new notebook and brought it over for Third Master to take a look at." Gu Heng didn't hide anything.

Upon hearing about the new notebook, Wang Zhongjun's eyes lit up even more.

Huayi Brothers was really envious of the success of "Stone".

"A new project..." Wang Zhongjun rubbed his hands together and asked tentatively, "President Gu, Huayi has always wanted to cooperate with Vision, I wonder if there's an opportunity this time..."

Wang Zhongjun's calculations were practically exploding in Gu Heng's face.

This old guy just came out of Han Sanping's place, probably because of the publicity for "Assembly". Feng Xiaogang is under a lot of pressure right now.

Gu Heng's eyes darted around, and an idea came to him.

Trying to keep something to yourself is something that easily breeds resentment in the industry. Since Huayi wants to give you money, why would they refuse?

Gu Heng was just wondering how to recruit Baoqiang.

"Since President Wang has spoken up, there must be an opportunity," Gu Heng said with an even more friendly smile than Wang Zhongjun. "However, I have a small condition."

"Please speak, Mr. Gu." Wang Zhongjun was secretly delighted.

"I've taken a liking to one of the actors in your company," Gu Heng said with a smile.

"Wang Baoqiang."

At this time, although Wang Baoqiang had gained some fame from acting in "A World Without Thieves", he was still playing the role of a simpleton. In a place like Huayi Brothers, where big names gathered, he was not considered a core resource.

Furthermore, "Soldiers Sortie" hasn't aired yet, so the real peak season hasn't arrived.

When Wang Zhongjun heard this, he thought Gu Heng was going to ask for some popular actress, but it turned out he just wanted a simpleton.

This is a great deal!

"Hey! I thought it was something big!" Wang Zhongjun waved his hand dismissively. "Baoqiang, right? No problem! I'll have someone send the contract over right away!"

The two foxes exchanged a glance and simultaneously revealed a knowing smile.

One thought he had gotten a good deal and hitched a ride on Ning Hao's fast boat.

The other one knew he was the one who really hit the jackpot, not only by getting a sucker to share the risk, but also by getting a future movie star and a national baby for free.

"Shall we go up together?" Gu Heng gestured for them to go.

"Come on, come on, I also have something I want to talk to Third Master about." Wang Zhongjun wasn't in a hurry to leave now.

The two walked side by side toward Han Sanping's office, their backs looking quite harmonious.

Ning Hao, who was following behind, scratched his head, looking a little confused.

The investment has already been agreed upon before we've even opened the script or glanced at it?

I guess I'm only suited to be a director.
