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

After chatting for a while, Gu Heng also brought up the purpose of his visit.

"Teacher Liu, to be honest, besides bringing Guo Fan, a die-hard fan, to pay my respects today, I also have some personal motives."

Old Liu put down his chopsticks, a vague premonition forming in his heart: "Director Gu, please speak."

"I want to buy the film and television adaptation rights to 'The Three-Body Problem.' Not just 'The Three-Body Problem,' I want the rights to all the science fiction works you own!"

Old Liu is a smart man, and even more so, a pure science fiction fan.

He naturally dreamed of bringing his own writings to the big screen.

In all of China today, if you were to ask who has the most ability and the most qualifications to capture the images he desires, that would be the case.

There's simply no one else like Gu Heng!

Old Liu took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.

"Director Gu, to be honest, if someone else had approached me, I might have had to consider whether they would ruin the original work, but since you asked, I'd be more than willing!"

Gu Heng smiled: "Teacher Liu is straightforward. As for the price, I'll give you a solid offer: a buyout package for five million. If the project launches later, your share of the box office revenue will be calculated separately."

Five million?!

Old Liu's mind went blank, and he almost lost his balance.

Just recently, a director named Zhang Fanfan contacted him, offering 100,000 yuan to take over the complete copyright of "The Three-Body Problem".

Ten thousand and five million, how can you even compare them?!

"Director Gu, this...this is too high."

Old Liu usually works at a power station and is used to a simple life, so he felt somewhat uneasy in the face of such an exorbitant price.

"Not at all, Professor Liu. Your creativity and talent will be worth far more than this in the future."

Soon, after a hot pot meal, the copyright issue was settled.

When the three of them walked out of the hot pot restaurant, they were all secretly plotting something... well, let's just say they were all happy.

Gu Heng was very excited because he had bought Lao Liu's copyright.

Guo Fan was also very excited because Gu Heng had bought Lao Liu's copyright.

Old Liu was also very excited because Gu Heng had bought his copyright.

……

That evening, Weibo exploded.

With so many eyes watching at the autograph session, those dozens of mobile phones weren't just for show.

The topic of "Gu Heng appearing at Liu Cixin's book signing event" has been trending like wildfire.

After seeing the photos, countless sci-fi fans and moviegoers began to speculate.

"Holy crap! Gu Heng went to the 'Three-Body Problem 3' book signing event?!"

"A top-tier domestic sci-fi director went to meet with a top-tier domestic sci-fi master. It's obvious what they were up to!"

"Could it be that 'The Three-Body Problem' is going to be adapted into a film? If I could see Director Gu direct 'The Three-Body Problem,' I'd absolutely rave about it!"

"Don't stop me, I've already moved the Civil Affairs Bureau here. Lock up Gu Heng and Da Liu!"

When Gu Heng returned to the courtyard house, Yang Mi was barefoot, curled up on the sofa, wearing a face mask and laughing non-stop while holding her phone.

Seeing Gu Heng push the door open and come in, the little fox immediately put her two fair legs on his lap and teased him.

"Oh, Director Gu is back? You've quietly stirred up another big news. Everyone online is guessing you're starting a new movie."

As she spoke, she deliberately cleared her throat and began reading comments from Weibo.

"Everyone, look at the way that burly man with dark circles under his eyes is looking at Director Gu! His eyes are practically drooling! Director Gu's tastes are getting weirder and weirder... Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter!"

Gu Heng was taken aback, rolled his eyes speechlessly, and casually tickled the sole of her foot, causing the little fox to tremble with excitement.

He really didn't expect that a simple autograph session would cause such a big commotion.

Just then, Gu Heng's phone started vibrating wildly.

The phone call started with all sorts of roundabout ways of trying to get information, saying that if there was any meat to eat, they should definitely be included, and so on.

But Gu Heng fooled them all.

Just as I hung up, Han Sanping called again.

Faced with this Third Master who had always been protective of his own, Gu Heng naturally couldn't fool him like the two kings did.

"Gu kid, tell Third Master the truth, did you acquire the rights to Old Liu's novel?"

Han Sanping's voice was full of energy, clearly indicating that he had been keeping a close eye on Gu Heng's movements.

"Third Master is wise; you've indeed secured it, and it's the full copyright," Gu Heng replied with a smile.

"Good lad! I knew you were the type to not act until you saw the benefit!" Han Sanping laughed loudly on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, that's good. If this project gets approved in the future, remember to reserve a good spot for China Film Group, understand?"

"That's natural."

A few days later, the low-budget film "Love is Not Blind," mainly produced by Yang Mi, finally finished its run in theaters.

Total box office: 3.6 million!

Little Fox Studio has truly made a name for itself in the industry, proving not only that Boss Yang has a keen eye for investment.

It directly propelled the two lead actors, Jing Chao and Tang Yan, to the ranks of top-tier actors and actresses.

If these two go out now, their film salaries and endorsement deals will increase many times over.

The first thing Little Fox did after its run ended was to take out his computer.

It's all back to zero.

He's a miser.

Afterwards, a celebration party was held for "Love is Not Blind".

Everyone in the industry who was supposed to come, and everyone who wanted to build connections, showed up; the scene was quite lively.

The news that Yang Mi is making so much money is naturally impossible to keep from people in the entertainment industry.

Yang Mi's best friend is very envious of her.

But it's just envy.

Because of Gu Heng, I've lived this life.

They have a very good relationship.

In today's industry, the number of artists who can truly establish their own independent studios can be counted on one hand.

Liu Qianqian has her own Red Starwood.

I heard they've started accepting external investments now.

Moreover, because of Gu Heng, Liu Qianqian, who should have been completely blacklisted by Huayi in her previous life, actually has great resources.

But she herself is too lazy!

Xiaoli has told her this several times.

Tell him to contact Gu Heng and see if he has any new projects.

But she didn't listen.

Liu Qianqian is now a rebellious teenager.

Xiaoli couldn't do anything about her and could only glare at her helplessly.

As for Jing Tian, ​​there's no need to say more; his background is so mysterious that even big shots in the industry have to treat him with utmost respect.

The entire entertainment industry revolves around her; her resources are so abundant that even those who are jealous are powerless to resist.

Of all these girlfriends, Shu Chang is the only one who has had a slightly worse experience.

Her studio was entirely affiliated with Tianxing Entertainment, a typical "family workshop" style of business.

Her aunt didn't understand long-term planning at all; she only cared about short-term gains.

Even more outrageous, in order to secure resources for Shu Chang's cousin, her aunt directly sacrificed her.

This year, all they filmed was a poorly-ended drama called "Liu Sanjie," which was a waste of their excellent acting skills and public appeal.

In the end, her younger sister still denied any relationship with her.

In the entertainment industry, not having a background isn't scary; what's scary is having a team behind you that not only doesn't help but also sabotages you.
