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

"Director Lin!"

After Cassie, the second person to come to Lin Bufan was Chen Hong.

"This woman is really..."

Standing next to Lin Bufan, Bai Bing, as a woman, could clearly sense the aura emanating from Chen Hong, as well as her gaze.

That gaze was so intense it almost devoured Lin Bufan.

Of course, this is also because Bai Bing knows about her relationship with her boss, which is why she thinks this way.

As outsiders, Cassie and Carter only saw Chen Hong's enthusiasm.

"They just showed up without giving us any advance notice."

Chen Hong secretly rolled her eyes at Lin Bufan.

What she really wanted to say was, "It's been so long, and you haven't even come to see me. Do you know how much I miss you?"

"Where's Old Chen?"

Lin Bufan chuckled.

Chen Hong was so enthusiastic that he was finding it hard to handle her.

Being a wife is so tough... I'll have to be more careful in the future.

Chen Hong alone made Lin Bufan feel lingering fear. In the future, he will try his best to avoid getting involved with married women.

"Old Chen doesn't know you're here yet. I'll take you there."

As Chen Hong spoke, she was about to reach out and take Lin Bufan's hand, but the moment the thought crossed her mind, she instantly regained her composure.

There are too many people around here, who knows if someone will notice anything?

"good!"

Lin Bufan breathed a sigh of relief.

He hadn't missed Chen Hong's little tricks just now, and he was about to remind her, but fortunately she was able to remain rational and didn't do anything excessive.

"Kobayashi, what brings you here?"

Chen Kaige was somewhat surprised to see Lin Bufan suddenly appear.

Chen Kaige was born in 52 and is already 54 years old this year, while Lin Bufan is only 24 years old. In addition, the two have a very good relationship, almost like friends despite their age difference.

Therefore, in terms of address, one called the other "Old Chen" and the other called the other "Little Lin".

"Come and see, what's it like filming in Hollywood?"

Lin Bufan glanced at the energetic Chen Kaige and asked with a smile.

In fact, even without asking, he could tell that Chen Kaige was in very good spirits.

It has to be said that the older generation of directors are truly energetic. Zhang Yimou, who is now over seventy, is still making movies, showing a spirit of never stopping filming as long as he lives.

"This is all thanks to you..."

Chen Kaige looked at Lin Bufan with gratitude.

If he hadn't followed Lin Bufan's path, he wouldn't have been able to come to Hollywood to make movies, especially big-budget productions worth hundreds of millions of dollars. This was all the more precious, especially since he had just finished filming "The Promise" and was being ridiculed by the public.

"Ah Hong, take Xiao Lin to the hotel to rest for a while. After filming is finished, we'll have a good drink tonight..."

After chatting for a while, Chen Kaige looked at Chen Hong.

There are still several shots to be filmed, and he can't leave right now, so he can only ask Chen Hong to take Lin Bufan to rest first, since Lin Bufan just got off the plane today and it's good for him to rest.

"OK!"

Chen Hong nodded to Chen Kaige, then looked at Lin Bufan: "Xiao Lin, let's go!"

Chen Hong said "Xiao Lin" while giving Lin Bufan a mischievous look, but fortunately her gaze was subtle and went unnoticed.

"Okay, then I won't disturb you filming, Lao Chen."

As Lin Bufan spoke, he stood up and left the photography studio with Chen Hong.

……

"No, don't be in such a hurry, let's chat for a bit first..."

"You say your piece..."

Chen Hong was somewhat anxious.

Not urgent?

She was so anxious.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Liu Meng waited in the car while bodyguards took up positions at various entrances on each floor to maintain order. Fortunately, the entire hotel had been booked by the film crew, so it wouldn't affect anyone else.

In order to create an opportunity for his boss, Bai Bing sighed and followed him into the presidential suite.

"Night at the Museum" is a big-budget production with a budget of over 100 million US dollars. Chen Kaige is the director of the film, so the hotel he stays in can't be too bad.

After entering the presidential suite, Bai Bing remained in the living room, watching Lin Bufan and Chen Hong enter the bedroom.

Chen Hong was used to this.

She knew very well that Bai Bing knew everything that had happened in the bathroom on those two occasions, and there was nothing to hide from her.

Bai Bing got up, turned on the TV, and played some upbeat music to drown out the noise coming from inside the room.

"It's been two hours, isn't your mouth dry?"

Bai Bing glanced at the time; before she knew it, more than two hours had passed.

Even with the volume turned up to the maximum, some sounds could still faintly drift into her ears.

Putting herself in her shoes, if she were in that situation, she estimated that her voice would be hoarse by now.

"It's finally over..."

As she was thinking, Bai Bing suddenly realized that the sounds in the room had stopped.

How long will you be staying in Los Angeles this time?

Chen Hong lay on Lin Bufan's body, trying to calm her somewhat rapid breathing.

"At least one month."

Lin Bufan calculated the time.

For the movie "2012", the lead actors haven't auditioned yet. This stage will take about a week, after which filming will begin.

Apart from some outdoor scenes, many shots were filmed in a studio.

The location shooting is expected to take about two weeks, if all goes well. If things don't go smoothly, it will take at least three weeks.

As for shooting in the studio, the timing is uncertain.

Therefore, Lin Bufan's statement that a month is an understatement.

There are still many scenes in "2012" that will be filmed back in mainland China, but these are the last ones.

Besides the film project, Lin Bufan is also planning to establish an investment company in the United States and is currently looking for a headhunter to find a professional manager for him.

Next, as the internet bubble bursts, it's the perfect time to enter this industry.

According to his memory, many companies don't have high market value now. For example, Amazon's market value is only over 20 billion US dollars now, but in 20 years, its market value will be as high as 2.56 trillion US dollars.

The price has increased more than a hundredfold. If you invest 100 million US dollars now, it will be 10 billion US dollars in 20 years.

In addition, there's Tesla, which he's also prepared to try and see if there's an opportunity to invest and join.

"Then you must come visit me often..."

When Chen Hong heard Lin Bufan say "at least a month", her eyes lit up.

For her, this period of time was simply agonizing.

She missed Lin Bufan terribly, both emotionally and physically, but she didn't dare to call him.

"Aren't you afraid of Old Chen finding out...?"

Lin Bufan looked at her speechlessly.

This woman... he really didn't know what to say.
