The entertainment empire began with Liu Yifei's premarital pregnancy.

Today is the premiere of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate," and the entire cast and crew are present.

"Why did you come back to China?"

Lin Bufan looked at Fan Bingbing, who looked somewhat tired, with surprise.

Logically speaking, Fan Bingbing's role in this movie should only be a cameo, and she doesn't need to attend the premiere.

Besides, shouldn't she be filming a movie in Hollywood right now?

"How could anyone not come to Director Lin's first premiere!"

Fan Bingbing walked to Lin Bufan's side and stood there, a faint, ingratiating smile on her face.

Before going to Hollywood, she had no idea how much influence Lin Bufan had there.

In the film crew of "Taken", she played the female lead. Before going there, she was worried that she would be discriminated against by the crew because she was unfamiliar with the place and the people.

She had known for a long time that Hollywood discriminated against Chinese people.

However, when she arrived in Hollywood with trepidation and joined the film crew, she found that the situation was completely different.

Almost no one in the crew, whether it was the director, the male lead, or other supporting actors and staff, showed any discrimination against her.

The reason I say "almost" is because several staff members in the crew treated me poorly, and I don't know if it was due to discrimination, but I was kicked out of the crew the next day.

At first, she didn't know why.

However, through her deliberate efforts to befriend him, she learned from the staff that the reason they treated her this way was entirely because of Lin Bufan.

Lin Bufan is not only Hollywood's best director, but also a shareholder of Extraordinary Pictures, and this film is exclusively controlled by Extraordinary Pictures.

Fan Bingbing was inserted by Lin Bufan. Everyone here is smart enough to know without even thinking what the relationship between the two is.

In Hollywood, or even in the United States, losing your job is a very serious matter. So, while we don't know what the crew members and actors are really thinking, at least on the surface, no one would be unwise enough to offend Fan Bingbing.

Therefore, when Fan Bingbing learned that "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" was going to hold a premiere, she immediately contacted the director of "Taken" to discuss having her scenes filmed a few days ahead of schedule so as not to delay the production schedule.

"You..."

Looking at Fan Bingbing, who appeared both playful and tired, Lin Bufan shook his head slightly and turned to Bai Bing beside him: "Bai, take Bingbing to the lounge and let her rest for a while."

It's red carpet time now, about two hours before the premiere officially begins.

"Yes, boss!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Bing stepped forward and walked to Fan Bingbing's side.

"Then I'll go and rest for a while."

Fan Bingbing did not refuse.

She's been exhausted these past few days trying to get back to China.

Flying from Los Angeles back to Beijing takes more than ten hours, and even first class is tiring. Moreover, after attending today's premiere, she has to fly back to Los Angeles early tomorrow morning.

Only she herself knows the hardships and exhaustion she endured from all the back-and-forth travel.

"It's Gao Yuanyuan. I didn't expect Gao Yuanyuan to come too..."

Outside the Kyoto Cinema, reporters and fans on both sides of the red carpet cheered loudly as they watched the stars walk down the red carpet.

Gao Yuanyuan was seen wearing a red backless dress and black high heels, with a smile on her face, waving to the crowds on both sides of the red carpet as she walked.

In 2000, with the Mentos lozenges being broadcast on television during the Sydney Olympics, Kao Yuan-Yuan rose to prominence in the Mentos community with the title of "Mentos Girl".

Following her role as a rich girl in "Beijing Bicycle," she officially entered the film and television industry.

With her roles as Zhou Zhiruo in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," Liu Sheng Piaoxu in "The World's Finest," and "Shanghai Dreams" released last year, Gao Yuanyuan has quickly risen to the ranks of top second-tier actresses in the entertainment industry.

All she needs now is a signature work to become a top-tier actress in the industry.

"Do you think Gao Yuanyuan might have some kind of relationship with Director Lin?"

"Really? I've never heard of these two having any connection..."

"If they had no connection, would Gao Yuanyuan have attended the premiere of 'Flying Swords of Dragon Gate'?"

At this moment, reporters and fans of various celebrities on both sides of the red carpet began to whisper among themselves.

From the moment the "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" crew entered the venue, these fans and reporters were already discussing it.

Apart from the male lead Zhao Wenzhuo and the second male lead Zhu Yawen, the remaining three members of the "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" crew—Dong Xuan, Wang Zhi, and An Yixuan—have been the subject of much whispered discussion.

Now, Dong Xuan and An Yixuan have been exposed as having had romantic relationships with Lin Bufan.

With only Wang Zhi left, no one believed that Lin Bufan, known for his womanizing ways, would "let go" of this beautiful woman who could be both charming and sassy.

"Yuanyuan, welcome!"

Lin Bufan stood guard at the cinema entrance. When he saw Gao Yuanyuan coming over, he took two steps forward, hugged her, and then let go of her.

"You dare hug me right outside the movie theater? Aren't you afraid of being reported in the news?"

Lin Bufan's hug startled Gao Yuanyuan for a moment. It wasn't until he released her that she came to her senses. She looked at him with a shy yet excited gaze.

"As long as you're not afraid, I'm not afraid!"

Lin Bufan looked at Gao Yuanyuan with a smile.

He certainly understood what Gao Yuanyuan meant by her subtext.

What good would it do to report it?

Throughout the country, everyone knows that Lin Bufan is a romantic and talented man; what does he have to be afraid of?

"snort!"

Gao Yuanyuan looked at Lin Bufan, adorably twitching her nose. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly heard a thunderous cheer from behind her.

"Fairy Sister..."

Gao Yuanyuan turned her head, and Lin Bufan's gaze also turned to the red carpet.

The fact that everyone is so excited and cheering, and even calls her "Fairy Sister," suggests that there is only one person who can evoke such excitement and cheers: Liu Yifei.

"Your child's mother is here, I'll go in first."

Gao Yuanyuan looked at Liu Yifei's graceful demeanor on the red carpet, her expression instantly turning sour. After glaring at Lin Bufan, she walked straight into the cinema.

She had a good impression of Lin Bufan, and could even be said to like him.

However, she also knew that Lin Bufan had many romantic entanglements, including the child he had with Liu Yifei.

Sometimes, she wondered if it would be inappropriate for her to get involved since Lin Bufan and Liu Yifei already had a child.

But then he saw Lin Bufan's many rumored girlfriends, and it seemed that having one more wouldn't make much difference. Besides, when it comes to relationships, there's no such thing as first come, first served.

All she knew was that if she took action, she would have a chance to become Mrs. Lin in the future; but if she didn't take action, it would all be just wishful thinking.
