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

"Old Tian, ​​don't you have a student named Lin Bufan?"

As soon as Tian Zhuangzhuang entered Beijing Film Academy and sat in her office, her colleague rushed over.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at the other person, nodded, and asked in confusion.

Tian Zhuangzhuang joined the Beijing Film Academy in 02 as a teacher in the directing department, and Lin Bufan was the first student he taught.

Tian Zhuangzhuang had a particularly deep impression of Lin Bufan.

First of all, Lin Bufan is very handsome. When Tian Tian and Zhuang Zhuang first met Lin Bufan, they were both surprised and wondered why he didn't go to the performing arts department.

It is well known that, in terms of appearance, most directing students are, if not all of them, ugly or deformed.

Another point is that Lin Bufan caught up with Dong Xuan from the 00 class of the Performance Department not long after the start of the semester, and even he had heard about it.

Later, Tian Zhuangzhuang felt that Lin Bufan had a solid foundation, so after the filming of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" started, she recommended him to intern on the set.

He didn't pay much attention to what happened after that.

"What else is wrong? Look at this..."

As he spoke, his colleague logged onto Sohu.com, found the Golden Globe nominations, and pointed them out to Tian Zhuangzhuang.

Bufan Lin, director of "Manchester by the Sea," is nominated for the following awards: Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Original Screenplay.

"Wait while I make a phone call..."

Tian Zhuangzhuang's voice trembled slightly as she took out her phone and called Lin Bufan.

……

"Feed?"

Early in the morning, Lin Bufan was fast asleep when he heard the phone ring. He opened his eyes, moved Dong Xuan's long legs away, turned over and found his phone, but didn't even look at the caller ID.

"It's me, Tian Zhuangzhuang."

Tian Zhuangzhuang's voice came through the phone.

"teacher?"

"Bu Fan, who is that?"

Dong Xuan stretched and looked at Lin Bufan groggily.

"It's Teacher Tian."

Lin Bufan looked at Dong Xuan and pointed to his phone.

The latter understood, nodded without saying anything more, and turned to get up to tidy up.

"Teacher, is there something you need calling so early?"

After Dong Xuan left, Lin Bufan asked.

Is it early?

Tian Zhuangzhuang glanced at the time; it was already past ten in the morning.

Oh well, these young people nowadays...

Tian Zhuangzhuang shook his head slightly. He had heard a woman's voice on the other end of the phone, of course, but that wasn't what he was most concerned about right now.

"Bufan, your teacher has a question for you."

Tian Zhuangzhuang took a deep breath, her tone somewhat grave: "Are you the director of the film 'Manchester by the Sea'?"

After asking the question, Tian Zhuangzhuang felt her heart trembling.

He was afraid that Lin Bufan would say no, and that he would be disappointed.

"Huh, the Golden Globe nominations were announced today?"

Lin Bufan suddenly realized, and then said, "Yes, teacher, I am the director of the movie 'Manchester by the Sea'."

"hiss……"

After Lin Bufan finished speaking, he heard several gasps of shock from the other end of the phone, clearly stunned by the news.

"Beep beep beep..."

Before Lin Bufan could continue speaking, he heard a beeping sound in his ear. He looked at the phone and saw that it had been disconnected.

……

"Old Tian, ​​quickly ask Lin Bufan..."

"What are you asking? The call has already ended."

Tian Zhuangzhuang reluctantly took her phone down: "My phone is out of battery."

Normally, Tian Zhuangzhuang doesn't use her phone much, and when it runs out of battery, she forgets to charge it.

"Congratulations, Lao Tian, ​​you've trained an Oscar-winning director."

As is widely known, the Golden Globe Awards are considered a precursor to the Oscars. Almost every film nominated for a Golden Globe has a high probability of being nominated for an Academy Award.

"I didn't teach him anything; he figured it all out himself..."

Tian Zhuangzhuang's face was beaming with smiles.

Although he never won any major awards in his life, he was content that his students were nominated for Golden Globes and even had a chance to be nominated for Oscars.

The news that Lin Bufan's film "Manchester by the Sea" was nominated for a Golden Globe Award quickly spread throughout the Beijing Film Academy.

Meanwhile, within a single day, the whole country knew that a student from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy had gone to Hollywood to make a movie and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award.

The day before, Lin Bufan was virtually unknown in the entertainment industry.

But today, the name Lin Bufan suddenly became a sensation in the entertainment industry.

Given the current state of the Chinese entertainment industry, film resources are already scarce, not to mention that Lin Bufan's film was nominated for the Golden Globe Awards, a precursor to the Oscars.

"Lin Bufan went to Hollywood to make a movie, and even got nominated for a Golden Globe, a precursor to the Oscars?"

When Huang Shengyi heard the news on the set of "Golden Years", she was completely stunned.

Is it Lin Bufan, the one I had a one-night stand with?

The time when the two had that relationship was over a year ago. Since then, they have never been in contact, and Huang Shengyi doesn't even have Lin Bufan's phone number.

Compared to Huang Shengyi, Wang Luodan would occasionally have a friendly chat with Lin Bufan. After getting the news from her classmates, she would call Lin Bufan immediately.

Unfortunately, the call didn't go through; the phone was busy.

The most bewildered was Jiang Yiyan. Recalling her unpleasant encounter with Lin Bufan a few days ago, she felt extremely regretful. If she had known this would happen, she would have definitely lowered her stance back then.

Even if Lin Bufan were to hit or scold her, she would still accept it willingly, no matter how harsh his words were.

……

"Hello, is this Director Lin Bufan?"

Not long after Lin Bufan hung up the phone, he received a call from an unknown number.

"I am, and you are?"

Lin Bufan nodded slightly.

"I am Han Sanping from China Film Group..."

When Lin Bufan heard the voice on the phone, he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.

After chatting for a few minutes, Lin Bufan hung up the phone.

After washing up, I drove straight to China Film Group.

Over the phone, Lin Bufan had already arranged to meet Han Sanping.

On the other end of the phone, Han Sanping shook his head slightly after hanging up. If he didn't have definite news, he wouldn't have dared to imagine that young people these days are really too amazing.

Before even graduating, he was able to go to Hollywood to make movies, and his first film was nominated for a Golden Globe Award.

"The younger generation is truly formidable!"

Han Sanping shook his head slightly.

Half an hour later, when Han Sanping met Lin Bufan, looking at the young and handsome face of the other man, it was really hard to imagine that the movie he made could be nominated for a Golden Globe Award.

"Chairman Han!"

When Lin Bufan first met Han Sanping, he couldn't help but feel a little reserved.

As expected of the man known as Zuo Shandiao, he exudes an aura of authority without needing to be angry.

"sit!"

Han Sanping nodded slightly to Lin Bufan, a smile appearing on his face.
