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

In the office of Kyoto Entertainment, Lin Bufan sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting.

"Love is Not Blind" was, after all, his first film to be released, and he didn't know whether the film would be a flop if it was released a few years earlier.

Whether it's the three major European entertainment events or the Oscars, these are just places for Lin Bufan to enhance his prestige; the mainland entertainment industry is his true home.

[Ding, congratulations host, check-in successful]

It was just past midnight, and it was already January 1, 2006. Lin Bufan was the first to sign in.

[Congratulations, host! Daily check-in successful. Rewards: One bottle of Liuwei Emperor Pills (10 pills) + One bottle of Beauty and Nourishing Pills (10 pills) + 100 million RMB]

[Congratulations, host! Monthly sign-in successful. Rewards: One bottle of Liuwei Emperor Pills (10 pills) + One bottle of Beauty and Nourishing Pills (10 pills) + 100 million RMB + The script for the movie "Taken"]

【恭喜宿主，年签成功，获得奖励：六味帝皇丸一瓶（10粒）+美容养颜丹一瓶（10粒）+100万RMB、技能升级捲轴宝箱*1、歌曲《死了都要爱》一首，电影《死神来了1》剧本一部、AMC院线30%股份】

The sign-in rewards for this event were quite generous.

Lin Bufan already knew the rules for signing in, but he noticed something different after signing in this time.

The daily visa requirements remain unchanged, still the same three items: Liuwei Dihuang Pills + Beauty and Nourishing Pills + 100 million RMB.

Similarly, the monthly sign-in remains unchanged, except for the three items from the previous month, which are now just the script for a certain movie.

The biggest change is the introduction of weekly and annual visas.

In the past, the weekly check-in rewards, in addition to the three items from the daily check-in, included a skill upgrade scroll treasure chest, which could yield 1-3 skill upgrade scrolls.

However, through the check-in process just now, Lin Bufan noticed that in addition to the weekly check-in, there was actually an extra song.

He remembered that the song "I Will Love You Till I Die" was released by Shin Band in 06, and he never expected that he would find it on his social media today.

As for whether this is the case, tomorrow is Monday, and Lin Bufan can confirm it by checking in tomorrow, whether today was an accident or will continue to be the same.

This is the second time I've signed up. The first time, the sign-up reward was physical enhancement, but this time, the sign-up reward directly turned into a 30% stake in AMC Theatres.

AMC Theatres is the second largest theater chain in North America, with more than 300 theaters and more than 5,000 screens.

"Am I now the largest shareholder of AMC Theatres?"

Lin Bufan felt a surge of excitement.

With shares in AMC Theatres, it will be much easier for Lin Bufan to have his movies released in North America.

At this moment, North America is the world's largest voting bloc.

He recalled that 12 years later, Wanda launched an acquisition of AMC, spending US$26 billion to acquire 60% of AMC Theatres.

Of course, it's only 06 now, and there are still 6 years until 12, so the value of AMC Theatres is definitely not that high. However, the 30% stake in AMC Theatres held by Lin Bufan is worth at least around 8 million US dollars.

Based on the current exchange rate, 8 million US dollars is equivalent to nearly 70 billion RMB.

"So he's worth billions?"

Lin Bufan was slightly stunned. He hadn't even exerted his strength yet, and he could get a business worth billions just by signing in. This was nothing short of getting rich overnight.

"According to this system's pattern, doesn't that mean that every annual contract will lead to real-world property ownership?"

Lin Bufan felt a little expectant, but he knew he would have to wait another year for the next opportunity.

……

Lin Bufan put away the scripts for "Taken" and "Final Destination 1".

Both "Taken" and "Final Destination" are Hollywood film series. The "Final Destination" series has produced six films in total, with a total box office of $9.8 million, nearly $10 billion.

Most importantly, the production cost of the Final Destination series is not high, averaging about 20 million US dollars per film.

The total cost of all six films was only around US$1.2 million.

The box office revenue alone can generate hundreds of millions of US dollars in profit, not to mention the revenue from merchandise, making it almost certain that the total revenue will exceed 10 billion US dollars.

"But System, I remember the first 'Final Destination' movie was released around the year 2000, right?"

Lin Bufan had a question in his mind.

[Please rest assured, host, you will not be drawn from any movies that have been shown in this world.]

"So, some of the movies I remember might never have been shown in this world?"

Lin Bufan had a thought, then shook his head and gave up.

He does know a lot of classic movies, but just knowing them is useless. Without a complete script, a lot of time needs to be spent studying and polishing the script before it can be filmed.

Instead of wasting time, it would be better to extract it directly from the system.

The script drawn by the system was not only a complete script, but also included all the storyboards and even the background music, which was much simpler and more convenient than Lin Bufan doing it himself.

Compared to the six-part Final Destination series, Taken only has three parts, but its box office performance is not low. The total box office of the trilogy is approximately $7.5 million.

Another money-making movie series.

Most importantly, with "Final Destination" being a film from the year 2000 and "Taken" being a film from 2008, Lin Bufan has absolutely no need to worry about the market not accepting his films at this time.

"I'm going to America for the Golden Globe Awards this year, I'll have something to do."

Lin Bufan naturally wouldn't miss the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, and he took the opportunity to go to Los Angeles to deal with some issues related to these films.

Carter called him yesterday, saying that there were some problems with "Kung Fu Panda" and he was waiting for him to solve them.

Just then, there was a knock on Lin Bufan's office door.

"Enter!"

"President Lin!"

Bai Bing knocked on the door and came in, looking excited: "The first day's box office results are in."

"How many?"

Lin Bufan looked at his assistant Bai Bing, his eyes filled with a hint of anticipation.

This is Lin Bufan's first commercial film, and he has high hopes for "Love is Not Blind".

"The box office on the first day was 1520 million."

Bai Bing's voice trembled with excitement.

In this era, movie box office revenue is generally around tens of millions. Lin Bufan's "Love is Not Blind" grossed 15 million on its opening day, and it's certain to break 100 million.

So far, only five films in mainland China have grossed over 100 million yuan: Zhang Yimou's "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers", Feng Xiaogang's "A World Without Thieves", Zhou Hongyi's "Kung Fu Hustle", and Chen Kaige's "The Promise".

Lin Bufan's "Love is Not Blind" is about to become the sixth domestic film to break 100 million yuan at the box office.
