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

Unsurprisingly, the rumors about Lin Bufan and Yang Mi spread across the entire internet the moment they emerged from Heqingyuan.

"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is currently showing in theaters and has grossed over 100 million yuan in just three days, which has almost propelled Lin Bufan to god-like status. Naturally, countless reporters are staking out him.

"Hmph, your stinky dad's been chasing girls again..."

At Panhai International, Liu Yifei was coaxing her two children when she saw the nose on the internet. She gave a soft snort and tried to stop snorting.

"Yay yay..."

Lin Xin and Lin Chen held their little hands up in the air, babbling as they looked at Liu Yifei.

"You're also standing up for Mom, aren't you...?"

"Hey, Changchang, what are you doing dressed like that?"

Liu Yifei suddenly saw Shu Chang come out of the bedroom. She was wearing a white T-shirt with a bear pattern, denim shorts that showed off her long, straight, white legs, and white platform sneakers. Her simple outfit made her look youthful and energetic.

"Go sign the contract, you forgot!"

Shu Chang rolled her eyes at Liu Yifei, somewhat speechless.

"Forehead……"

Okay, Liu Yifei really did forget about it.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

Liu Yifei looked at Shu Chang and quickly changed the subject.

"Never mind, you should watch the baby!"

Shu Chang glanced at Liu Yifei and shook her head.

Since bringing the two babies home, Liu Yifei has spent most of her time every day taking care of them, and she doesn't care at all about her own clothes and appearance.

In other words, Liu Yifei has a good natural foundation, so even if she doesn't wear makeup, it doesn't affect her appearance at all.

In Shu Chang's words, Liu Yifei simply doesn't take her "appearance" seriously enough.

……

"Ye Jing is the person in charge I found for you!"

Lin Bufan looked at Yang Mi and introduced them to each other.

He originally thought that with him backing her up and taking care of her, no matter how ambitious Zeng Jia was, it wouldn't matter.

However, he clearly underestimated the other party's ambition, as they actually wanted to incite Yang Mi to bring others into the company and dilute their own equity.

If Zeng Jia truly meant well, and if she managed to bring in some investors and bigwigs in the industry, that would be a testament to her dedication to the studio.

However, everything she did was for her own selfish motives.

Yang Mi's studio hasn't even gotten started yet, and she's already messing around like this. If one day in the future, Yang Mi's studio really does get better and better, and even goes public like in later years, I don't know what she'll do.

To prevent being held back in the future, after returning from Hollywood, Lin Bufan commissioned a headhunting firm to recruit Ye Jing to join Yang Mi's studio.

Ye Jing comes from the Hong Kong entertainment circle and once served in management at Golden Harvest, so she is capable.

"Alright, you two can talk now!"

After introducing the two parties, Lin Bufan took his leave.

Ultimately, Yang Mi's studio will be handed over to her for management. His role is merely to provide support for her.

After returning from Yang Mi's studio, Lin Bufan went straight to the company.

In a little while, he will be heading to Hollywood. Yesterday, Carter reported to Lin Bufan that the early preparations for "2012" were complete, the props were ready, and even the location had been scouted.

The project can officially start as soon as Lin Bufan arrives.

"Boss, Miss Shu Chang is here."

As soon as Lin Bufan entered the company, Bai Bing came up to report the news.

"Changchang, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

Lin Bufan looked at Shu Chang, who was waiting in his office, with some confusion.

"I'm here to sign the contract..."

Shu Chang looked at Lin Bufan with a hint of resentment in her voice.

They really are a couple; they completely forgot about something as important as signing the contract.

"Sign a contract?"

"You haven't signed a contract yet?"

Lin Bufan glanced at Shu Chang with some surprise, then turned to look at Bai Bing, who shook her head at him.

"Of course, who would I sign with if you didn't come?"

Shu Chang looked at Lin Bufan speechlessly.

"Alright, Xiaobai, take Shuchang to see President Shen."

Shen Xiuying has always been in charge of the contract signing. From a business perspective, Shu Chang's contract signing can be left to her.

"Yes, boss!"

Bai Bing nodded and was about to leave with Shu Chang.

"Oh, by the way, call General Manager Yang over here."

Lin Bufan suddenly remembered something.

"Okay, boss!"

Not long after, Yang Yayun, the vice president of Kyoto Entertainment, knocked on the door and came in: "Boss, you wanted to see me!"

"Come, sit down!"

Lin Bufan got up and sat down on the sofa.

"I'm planning to establish a special effects subsidiary under the company. What do you think?" Lin Bufan asked Yang Yayun.

Lin Bufan had already considered starting a special effects company.

In the coming years and even decades, the most important thing in the film market, besides the plot, will be special effects.

Especially for special effects in domestic fantasy films, hiring foreign companies is not only expensive, but it also cannot guarantee that foreign special effects artists can accurately capture the desired visuals.

"Boss, given the current film market environment, setting up a special effects company now might result in losses."

Yang Yayun looked at Lin Bufan with a serious expression.

In this day and age, let alone in China, even in Hollywood, there aren't many special effects companies that make money. After all, we haven't reached the era of "special effects blockbusters" yet.

"Losing money is not a big deal."

Lin Bufan shook his head slightly, looking at Yang Yayun: "Do you know where to find special effects talent?"

What does losing money matter now?

What he wants is to avoid being held hostage by others in the future; that's the most important thing.

"Speaking of special effects talent, I actually know a few people."

Since the boss, Lin Bufan, wasn't afraid of losing money, Yang Yayun had no choice but to comply.

"Where is he?"

Lin Bufan was somewhat curious.

"I don't know the specifics either; I need to have someone investigate..." Yang Yayun shook her head slightly.

The talent she was referring to was actually the head of the technical department at a visual effects company. In the visual effects industry, his abilities were almost top-notch, if not the best.

But just six months ago, his company went bankrupt, so the other person also lost their job.

In America, unemployment is a terrible thing. More than a month ago, the two lost contact. It is highly likely that the other person has become homeless, but she does not know exactly where.

"Tell me his name and approximate address..."

Perfect timing! He's going to Hollywood in a few days, so we can send someone to look for him.

Lin Bufan used to wonder why, in Hollywood movies, those tech geniuses often ended up wandering the streets or doing less-than-respectable jobs.

Later, after learning about the "kill line" before he traveled through time, he finally understood that it wasn't that those technical experts wanted to wander, but that they were forced into it.
