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

"That feels so good!"

The moment Lin Bufan stepped off the plane, he felt completely relaxed.

"Hey, Xiaobai, what's wrong?"

Lin Bufan turned his head and noticed that Bai Bing's cheeks were flushed, and her legs were trembling slightly.

"Boss..."

Bai Bing looked at Lin Bufan with a resentful gaze.

Bai Bing: What else is wrong? What do you think?

The flight from Beijing to Los Angeles takes about fifteen or sixteen hours. You're doing well, sleeping comfortably on your own lap, but I'm the one suffering.

Not only did she have to massage his head, but she also had to be careful not to disturb his sleep.

Later, Bai Bing was so tired that she fell asleep without realizing it. When she woke up, she found herself lying in Lin Bufan's arms.

Not only that, Lin Bufan's large hand also covered...

Recalling that scene in her mind, Bai Bing's face turned red. Fortunately, Lin Bufan was not awake at the time, so Bai Bing tiptoed to get up.

However, perhaps because of Lin Bufan's weight, her legs are still a little numb.

"Boss!"

Just then, a convoy drove into the airport, and driver Liu Meng and twelve bodyguards, including Li Feng, got out of the cars.

Liu Meng was driving the same stretch Lincoln that Lin Bufan had once signed in at.

Li Feng and the other twelve people drove four Cadillac Escalades, which were modified.

Without a doubt, these four Escalades were prepared by Carter. Not only that, even Lin Bufan's stretch Lincoln was completely modified.

The entire vehicle body was armored, and all the windows were replaced with super bulletproof glass.

One extended Lincoln, plus these four Escalades, a total of five vehicles, cost a whopping three million US dollars just for modifications.

Of course, after such expensive modifications, the protective capabilities of these vehicles are top-notch in the world. Conventional bullets simply cannot penetrate them, unless it is a large-caliber sniper rifle, such as a Barrett.

Even with rockets, the vehicle can be kept intact and safe up to three times, but it is not certain after more than three times. This has been proven by experiments.

"Let's go, get in the car!"

Lin Bufan nodded slightly, accompanied by his assistant Bai Bing and Zhang Yong.

Bodyguard captain Li Feng was sitting in the passenger seat of the vehicle.

"Have you all claimed your equipment?"

After getting into the car, Lin Bufan opened the partition between the driver's cab and the passenger compartment and looked at Li Feng.

"Everyone's received theirs, boss!"

Li Feng nodded.

They arrived in Los Angeles ahead of time specifically for the equipment and to take over the vehicles.

In the United States, it is legal to own guns, but they are Chinese and do not have U.S. green cards, so they should not be allowed to own guns.

However, in America, if you have money, you can get anything done.

Carter used his connections to register a security company in the United States and obtain a gun license. Li Feng and others were listed as bodyguards in the company's directory, which allowed them to legally and normally possess firearms in the United States.

Of course, Lin Bufan spent nearly ten million US dollars on this, but as long as his safety could be guaranteed, he wouldn't care about ten million US dollars, or even hundreds of millions of US dollars.

"Director Lin, shall we go straight to Extraordinary Pictures first?"

Zhang Yong looked at Lin Bufan.

This was his first time in Hollywood, and it would be impossible for him not to be curious. However, he knew that he was here on behalf of China Film Group, and his most important task was to finalize a project with Extraordinary Pictures.

As for what happens after the talks, if there's still time, he could easily take a stroll around Hollywood.

"That's right!"

Lin Bufan nodded slightly.

Normally, if Lin Bufan had come by himself, Carter would have already been waiting outside the plane.

However, this time Lin Bufan specifically instructed Carter not to come to pick him up at the airport.

Carter is the general manager of Extraordinary Pictures; if he comes to pick them up at the airport, many things will be easily exposed.

……

The entire journey from the airport to the building of Extraordinary Pictures went very smoothly without any unexpected incidents.

"Lin, hello, welcome back to Hollywood..."

Inside Extraordinary Pictures, Carter saw Lin Bufan and greeted him with open arms and a warm smile.

"Carter, your acting is really good. You deserve an Oscar for Best Actor."

Lin Bufan said lightly and jokingly, then turned around and began to introduce: "Let me introduce you, this is Zhang Yong, the person in charge of the '2012' project sent by China Film Group..."

"Hello, Mr. Carter!"

Zhang Yong stepped forward, shook hands with Carter, and communicated in fluent English.

"Hello, Zhang!"

Cardi nodded, then said, "Let's talk inside!"

"good!"

Immediately afterwards, the group went directly into the conference room of Extraordinary Pictures.

"Regarding the investment, here's our thinking..."

Inside the meeting room, Carter ostensibly represented Extraordinary Pictures, Lin Bufan represented Kyoto Entertainment, and Zhang Yong represented China Film Group, but in reality, it was just Lin Bufan's left hand transferring money to his right.

Many negotiations are just a process.

After a long hour of "intense discussion," the three parties reached a cooperation agreement.

The "2012" project has an estimated investment of US$1.5 million, with Extraordinary Pictures contributing US$9 million, accounting for 6% of the investment, and Kyoto Entertainment contributing US$3 million, accounting for 2% of the investment.

China Film Group and Crystal Entertainment each invested US$15 million, each holding a 10% stake in the investment.

Crystal Entertainment is the company of Lin Bufan and Liu Yifei.

When Lin Bufan founded Crystal Entertainment for Liu Yifei, he had already set a goal to make Crystal Entertainment the number one listed entertainment company in China.

For an entertainment company to go public, its financial statements certainly can't be bad.

Therefore, although it was all Lin Bufan's money, it was divided into several companies for separate investment, all in order to "boost" Crystal Entertainment's performance and get it listed on the stock exchange.

At the entrance of Extraordinary Entertainment Company, Zhang Yong bid farewell to Lin Bufan.

"Director Lin, thank you so much this time."

Zhang Yong looked at Lin Bufan with gratitude.

This time, he truly experienced the domineering and powerful nature of Hollywood.

Despite China Film Group's involvement in the investment, Carter of Extraordinary Pictures insisted that China Film Group should only receive a share of the box office revenue in mainland China. Even though Zhang Yong argued his case, Carter only said, "If you don't want to invest, then forget it."

How can we just let it go?

Zhang Yong's mission this time was to discuss cooperation.

If the cooperation negotiations fall apart, he can imagine that after returning to China, even though he is Han Sanping's confidant, he will still have to sit on the sidelines.

Finally, with the two sides at an impasse, Lin Bufan spoke up from the sidelines.
