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

"I have a date with my beloved..."

Inside the Beverly Hills mansion, Fan Bingbing nestled close to Lin Bufan's back, breathing softly on him.

"Stop messing around, hurry up and check if it's okay for me?"

Lin Bufan pulled Fan Bingbing from behind to the front and slapped her pert buttocks hard.

"Hmph, you go on a date with another woman and you still make me dress you up, I really..." Fan Bingbing covered her buttocks that had been slapped and pouted.

Despite saying that, Fan Bingbing's hands were moving quickly as she helped Lin Bufan straighten his clothes.

"I didn't use any force!"

Seeing Fan Bingbing pouting and looking aggrieved, Lin Bufan sighed, went over, hugged her, kissed her lips, and comforted her, "It's okay, don't be angry!"

"snort!"

Fan Bingbing gave a soft snort.

Actually, she wasn't really angry; she was just doing it on purpose. Sometimes men just like this little bit of playfulness.

Watching Lin Bufan's departing figure, Fan Bingbing couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen.

I wonder when I'll be able to get pregnant...

Another reason she didn't return to China was that she wanted to avoid the limelight.

The main reason is to avoid the limelight of Liu Yifei.

Both of them were rumored to be dating Lin Bufan. Liu Yifei, because she gave birth to twins, acted like the matriarch of the Lin family, and surprisingly, the netizens and fans in China actually bought into this.

Especially when the rumors about Lin Bufan and Jessica Alba reached China, Liu Yifei's statement made it clear that no one would believe she wasn't the first wife of the Lin family.

If she were an outsider, she would also look on as if she were watching these women have a good show.

But, unfortunately, she was an insider.

We are all Lin Bufan's women. As long as Lin Bufan is not married, who dares to say that they are the rightful wife?

Just because Liu Yifei is pregnant and has given birth doesn't mean you're now the official wife.

In short, Fan Bingbing was definitely resentful; who wouldn't want the position of the main wife?

It's just pregnancy, you're all women, it's like you can't have children yourself.

During this time, Fan Bingbing clung to Lin Bufan with all her might, hoping to get pregnant as well, so as not to be inferior to Liu Yifei.

……

Inside the restaurant's private room, Lin Bufan chatted and laughed with Jessica Alba.

The two had a very pleasant conversation.

"Forest……"

After finishing a bottle of red wine, Jessica Alba's gaze towards Lin Bufan became somewhat moist.

"Lin, wouldn't you like to come over to my place for a cup of coffee?"

At the villa entrance, Jessica Alba bit her lip and looked at Lin Bufan with a seductive gaze.

"Wait for me outside!"

Lin Bufan took a deep breath, gave an order to his bodyguard, and then got out of the car to enter the villa with Jessica Alba.

Upon entering the villa, the moment the door closed, Lin Bufan immediately picked up Jessica Alba and passionately kissed her.

"Where to?"

Lin Bufan's breathing became rapid as he whispered in Jessica Alba's ear.

Guided by Jessica Alba, Lin Bufan carried her into the room.

The two of them dawdled for several minutes on the way from the door to the room, and their clothes were scattered all over the floor.

……

"You filthy bitch..."

Cash Warren looked at the photos online and could clearly see Lin Bufan and Jessica Alba walking into her villa.

And they even said it had nothing to do with the other party? Do they think I'm stupid?

Lin Bufan and Jessica Alba were unaware that the moment they entered the villa, they were clearly photographed by paparazzi in the distance and the photos were uploaded online.

Half a month later, the rumors about Lin Bufan and Jessica Alba once again spread throughout Hollywood.

"Just you wait, I'll make sure you get what's coming to you..."

Cash Warren looked grim.

Cash Warren felt that as Jessica Alba's boyfriend, he had never been to her villa, even though he had been pursuing her for over a year.

And what about Lin Bufan?

He has only known Jessica Alba for a short time.

"Lin, you will marry me, won't you?"

At the very last moment, Jessica Alba opened her eyes and looked at Lin Bufan, her gaze full of anticipation.

"certainly!"

At this moment, Lin Bufan naturally wouldn't say anything that would spoil the mood.

But the next second, Lin Bufan's expression changed unnaturally.

As a romantic and talented man, he was all too familiar with the female body. He had experienced this ice-breaking process more than once, so he was extremely familiar with it.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Monthly check-in successful. You have received the following rewards: one bottle of Liuwei Emperor Pills (10 pills) + one bottle of Beauty and Nourishing Pills (10 pills) + 100 million US dollars + a copy of the script for the movie "The Orphan of Zhao"]

Before we knew it, it was September.

"The Orphan of Zhao"

During a break in filming, Lin Bufan picked up the script and glanced at it briefly.

He actually knew that this movie was a historical film directed by Chen Kaige 10 years later.

With an investment of 1.1 million yuan and a total box office of 1.9 million yuan, it was a complete flop.

Based on an investment of 1.1 million, the box office needs to reach at least 3.3 million to guarantee that it will not lose money.

However, when Chen Kaige makes movies, it's always the investors who lose money; in reality, he doesn't lose any money at all. Chen Kaige is a typical example of someone who builds a city with every movie he makes.

Take the movie "The Orphan of Zhao" as an example. It had an investment of 110 million yuan, of which 40 million yuan was actually used for the construction of the city. The actual filming cost was only 70 million yuan.

Moreover, there is an unwritten rule in the industry.

The director will definitely overstate the budget of a movie. For example, a movie that can be made with only 50 million will usually be told to investors that it costs 60 million when the director is trying to raise funds.

The extra ten million undoubtedly ended up in the director's pocket.

Of course, this only applies to big-name directors; smaller directors are not eligible.

Therefore, of the 70 million production cost, the actual amount used in filming will not exceed 55 million.

If we calculate based on this investment ratio, "The Orphan of Zhao" can be considered a profitable project, just not a very profitable one.

As for building a city, that would be utterly useless.

Why build a new city when there are already existing scenes available? If it were just for filming, that would be one thing, but there are many shady dealings involved.

"Old Chen can only ever be a tool..."

Lin Bufan shook his head slightly, then put the script away.

"Director, the actress who plays the president's daughter has arrived."

Just then, assistant director Damien Chazelle walked over.

Lin Bufan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a familiar figure appear in front of him.

Scarlett Johansson?

Lin Bufan was slightly surprised when he saw who had arrived.
