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

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, sunlight streamed into the room through the carved window, casting dappled shadows on the messy bed.

Gu Heng instinctively tried to turn over, only to find that he was sealed.

A long, slender, and somewhat heavy leg was brazenly pressing down on his stomach, wrapping itself tightly around him.

Gu Heng sighed and stared blankly at the roof beam.

Is this the legendary haven of gentle pleasures, and the graveyard of heroes?

Last night, this girl was absolutely crazy. She tossed and turned for most of the night, crying and laughing, determined to prove that she's grown up and has amazing stamina.

The results of it?

He's bad at the game but loves to play!

Even though she was so exhausted she felt like she was falling apart, with tears still glistening in the corners of her eyes, she still insisted on saying "Again."

Don't let Yang Mi's usual clever and mischievous demeanor in front of the media fool you; when it comes to this kind of situation, her unexpected cuteness shines through...

That's really awesome!!

Thinking of this, Gu Heng couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth turn up in a wide smile.

Just then, the Nokia on the bedside table suddenly vibrated, its sound particularly jarring in the quiet morning.

Yang Mi, nestled in his arms, frowned and mumbled sleepily, "Who is it... So annoying..." Then she buried her head under the covers and continued sleeping like an ostrich.

Gu Heng stretched out his arm with great effort to reach the phone, and his face instantly darkened when he saw the caller ID.

Wang Renjun.

There's no doubt that Jing Chao will be standing next to him.

These two are something else. They called here as soon as filming for "Soldiers Sortie" wrapped up. They must be trying to freeload a meal.

Gu Heng hung up the phone without hesitation.

Disturbing someone's peaceful sleep is a heinous crime!

As the phone went silent, the "ostrich" crawled out from under the covers.

With her hair all messy and eyes still sleepy, Yang Mi looked at Gu Heng and asked in a soft, hoarse voice, "Who is it?"

"No one, just a bunch of traitors."

Gu Heng reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, then gently pinched her plump, collagen-rich cheek. "Awake? Hungry?"

Yang Mi didn't answer, but instead rubbed her face against his palm.

After a while, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Gu Heng with a mischievous smile: "I am hungry, but... I want to eat something else first."

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow: "Others? Like, for example?"

Yang Mi didn't say anything, but flipped over and straddled Gu Heng's waist.

Looking down at him.

At this moment, she was still wearing Gu Heng's oversized white shirt, the buttons undone, revealing a glimpse of her cleavage.

That scene, that cadre, could withstand such a test.

"Ms. Gu, I didn't quite understand last night's lesson. Could you... give me a make-up lesson?"

Gu Heng: "..."

This is insane!

Since you want to learn, then Teacher Gu will have to teach you everything he knows!

"Tutoring requires tuition fees," Gu Heng said in a hoarse voice.

"That's natural..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Heng took the initiative and became the host.

Young people should act like young people; morning exercise is a must!

words omitted here...

……

After a very thorough "make-up lesson," the two finally got out of bed feeling refreshed.

It's only because he's young and healthy that he's able to survive; otherwise, he would have collapsed from exhaustion.

After washing up, Gu Heng made a phone call and summoned Wang Gang over.

Wang Gang was also very considerate. He carried two steaming hot breakfasts, the famous Qingfeng steamed buns and fried liver, and went outside to wipe the car after putting them down, refusing to be a third wheel.

After dinner, Yang Mi collapsed on the sofa, unwilling to move.

She was really exhausted this time; she was so engrossed in tutoring that it took a toll on her energy.

Gu Heng told her to rest at home, then changed his clothes and went to the company.

As soon as Gu Heng entered the gates of Vision Entertainment, he sensed that the atmosphere was different today.

It was a joyous occasion.

Pushing open the office door, Ning Hao and Su Qing were sitting on the sofa drinking tea, their smiles impossible to hide.

"Hey, what's going on? Did you find some money?" Gu Heng teased.

"Boss, I'm happier than if I found money!" Su Qing stood up, waving a fax in her hand. "The Venice Film Festival's nomination list has been released!"

Gu Heng was taken aback, then realized what was happening.

The 06 Venice Film Festival was a highlight for Chinese-language films.

He took the list and looked at it; sure enough, it was true.

Jia Zhangke is a ruthless man.

Two films were nominated: "Still Life" was selected for the main competition, and "East" was selected for the Horizons section.

Domestic media outlets went crazy, exclaiming that Section Chief Jia was awesome.

But what's even more surprising is that Ning Hao's name is prominently featured in the list of entries for the Horizons section, for the film "Green Grassland".

"Well done, Ning!" Gu Heng punched Ning Hao on the shoulder. "Are you trying to get ahead of yourself?!"

Ning Hao chuckled and scratched his head: "Luck, it's all luck."

This is truly astonishing.

In the eyes of industry insiders, Ning Hao is now a rising star in commercial films. "Crazy Stone" has only been out of theaters for a short time, but it has achieved both box office and critical success. He is definitely a promising commercial director.

After a few months, you suddenly pull out an art film that's been nominated for Venice?

That's an amazing feat of ambidextrous fighting!

Even more ironically, another name on the list is Feng Xiaogang.

Director Feng was really aiming for awards, so he put together a big-budget production called "The Banquet," which he called the Chinese version of Hamlet. With Zhang Ziyi and Ge You in the cast, he was definitely aiming for awards.

The results of it?

Non-competitive screening section.

To put it bluntly, it's just about walking the red carpet and making an appearance. The organizing committee will give you face by letting you show a video. As for the awards?

Don't even think about it; it's purely for show and to make a name for yourself.

If this were in the past, Ning Hao would just be a rising director.

But it's different now.

On one hand, established commercial director Feng Xiaogang could only attend screenings, while on the other hand, newcomer Ning Hao, who had just started his career with commercial films, made it into the competition section.

The contrast is simply too stark.

I bet Director Feng is going to be furious again.

"This time you've really made our company proud." Gu Heng patted Ning Hao on the shoulder with a smile. "Get ready, let's go to Venice as a group and grind some dungeons!"

Ning Hao chuckled foolishly: "That's right! Boss, what if I really win an award..."

"Win an award?" Gu Heng gave him a half-smile. "You should iron that suit first, or you'll embarrass yourself on the red carpet."

Perhaps this time, Ning Hao is really going to take off.

Box office in one hand, awards in the other.

This is true fame and fortune!
