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

The next day, as soon as Lin Bufan arrived at the company, he learned that Xu Ke had come to see him.

"Director Lin!"

Upon seeing Lin Bufan enter, Xu Ke hurriedly stood up.

"Director Xu, please have a seat!"

Lin Bufan said, sitting down in front of Xu Ke.

"Director Lin, this is my revised script for 'Painted Skin,' and these are some simple storyboards I've drawn recently..." Xu Ke said, taking a stack of documents from his briefcase and placing them on the table.

"Oh?"

Lin Bufan picked up the script and glanced at it briefly.

In terms of plot, there are no major changes, only some details have been cut, making it look much better than the previous script.

There have also been some changes in the dialogue, which have made the characters more three-dimensional.

Ever since Xu Ke received the script for "Painted Skin," he has been completely immersed in it, revising and editing the existing script, identifying what was suitable and what was not...

Today is July 20th. He received the script on July 1st and spent 20 days revising it.

"The script is good!"

After putting down the script, Lin Bufan picked up the storyboard and glanced at it.

Xu Ke said he drew some simple sketches, but in reality, the storyboard was drawn quite well.

With his eyes closed, Lin Bufan recalled the original "Painted Skin" and finally realized that Xu Ke's version of "Painted Skin" was superior to the original in both script and visuals.

What particularly shocked Lin Bufan was the female lead Pei Rong in Xu Ke's version. The scene where she was framed and turned into a monster was truly heartbreaking and chilling.

What's heartbreaking is that such a gentle and kind young woman has turned into such an ugly monster.

The reason for the palpitations is that in Xu Ke's version, after the transformation, it really makes people feel a sense of fear and dread.

Unlike Zhao's version, which, because of his star power, was supposed to be a monster to scare people, he ended up with a head of white hair, which was just treating the audience like idiots.

"Once the script is handed over to the screenwriting department for some polishing of the details, it can be approved for production and filming can begin."

As Lin Bufan spoke, he placed the script on the table.

At Kyoto Entertainment, there's a rule that any director's project, before it can be approved and filmed, must first have its script reviewed by the screenwriting department to ensure it's of the highest quality.

Of course, Lin Bufan's script is an exception, since he's the boss.

Another point is that, in order to prevent the screenwriting department from having too much power, if the film is released in the future and the word-of-mouth and box office are not ideal, the screenwriting department will be held accountable.

In addition, if any director is dissatisfied with the screenwriter's review and revision of the script, they can come directly to Lin Bufan.

As long as Lin Bufan nods in approval, the project can bypass the scriptwriting department and be approved.

Of course, unless absolutely necessary, Lin Bufan would never easily break this rule.

He did this for one reason only: to ensure that the film's script was logical.

Every film, regardless of its genre, even a documentary or a factual film, requires a certain logic and order.

If a movie's plot is completely illogical, even the best special effects are useless.

"Okay, Director Lin!"

Xu Ke nodded.

He had just signed with Kyoto Entertainment, so naturally he wouldn't break the company's rules.

"Director Lin, about the actors..." Xu Ke then looked at Lin Bufan.

"The role of the Nine-Tailed Fox will go to Zhou Xun from the company. As for the others, you can choose!"

Lin Bufan looked at Xu Ke: "However, the premise is that we must first find someone internally within the company. Only if they are not suitable should we choose someone from outside."

"Yes, Director Lin!"

Xu Ke nodded.

……

As expected, Xu Ke's script and storyboard for "Painted Skin" were approved by the screenwriting department with only a few minor changes to the logic of the dialogue.

After the project "Painted Skin" was approved, the most important thing was to select the cast.

When Kyoto Entertainment announced the casting for "Painted Skin," it instantly caused a sensation throughout the entertainment industry.

The Kyoto Entertainment of today is not the same as the Kyoto Entertainment of the past.

Previously, Kyoto Entertainment relied solely on Lin Bufan, but now, things have changed.

Putting aside the number of directors Kyoto Entertainment has signed, the first thing is that Lin Bufan's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has been a success once again and is destined to break box office records, which is very important to the outside world.

If succeeding once is a fluke, what about succeeding twice?

Lin Bufan's consecutive successes are enough to demonstrate his ability.

Kyoto Entertainment is now holding auditions for its projects. Although it's not Lin Bufan's movie, Xu Ke is quite famous.

In particular, Kyoto Entertainment announced that its investment in "Painted Skin" was 100 million yuan.

Currently, the investment in domestic films generally ranges from several million to tens of millions of yuan. Occasionally, there are investments of twenty or thirty million yuan, which are considered large projects.

Moreover, the investment in "Painted Skin" was as high as 100 million yuan.

Even if everyone knows that there's definitely some exaggeration involved in this investment, the exaggeration won't be too much.

……

"Sister Rou, I want to be alone!"

Inside the dressing room, Lin Chih-ling looked at her agent.

"good!"

The agent nodded, then walked out of the room, shaking his head and sighing.

They came to Beijing for this event and naturally learned about the phenomenal success of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" after its release. The film has now grossed over 2 million yuan in just five days.

Even those in the industry didn't expect this movie to be such a hit.

With a box office of 2 million yuan in five days, and based on a one-month theatrical run, there is a high probability that the box office will exceed 5 million yuan by the time the film is taken off the screens.

5 billion!

That's 5 million!

It's only 06 now, and I don't know how many listed companies have an annual profit of less than ten million.

Lin Chih-ling regrets that she was the first person to meet Lin Bu-fan, and the movie "Love is Not Blind" made her a rising star in the film industry.

Looking back, if she had been more resolute, perhaps she would be standing beside Lin Bufan right now.

She is incredibly confident in herself, whether it's her appearance, figure, or education.

It's just that, although she saw that Lin Bufan had potential, she was too proud to take things further.

After returning to Taiwan, her modeling career did resume, but she still didn't have many resources in the film and television industry.

Upon returning to Beijing and seeing news about Lin Bufan, how could Lin Zhiling not be depressed?

"If you fall down, you have to get up from there..."

After thinking for a while, Lin Zhiling made a decision.

She'll get it back the way she missed it back then.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiling took out her phone and dialed Lin Bufan's number. Judging from her movements, it was clear that she had remembered Lin Bufan's phone number all this time, and her fingers were incredibly skilled at pressing the keys.
