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

"Back when Lin Bufan had just started to make his fortune, I asked you to contact him, but what did you do?"

Li Xue looked at her sister with anger at her lack of ambition.

Back then, Li Bingbing, confident in her status within the industry, looked down on Lin Bufan's attempts to curry favor.

But what about Fan Bingbing, who is also one of the "Double Bing" (referring to two famous actresses known for their eccentricities)?

Yes, she did indeed get into Lin Bufan's bed, but everyone can see how much she got in return.

"I wasn't thinking about Huayi Brothers..."

Li Bingbing looked at her younger sister with a hint of helplessness.

Originally, she had already planned to gradually improve her relationship with Lin Bufan, since Lin Bufan had already invested in Huayi Brothers and become one of its shareholders.

But who would have thought that before she could even get in touch with Lin Bufan, he had already broken up with Huayi Brothers.

This incident caused quite a stir in the industry at the time.

She was thinking that Huayi Brothers had a deeper foundation than Lin Bufan and Kyoto Entertainment.

No matter what, Lin Bufan is just a director after all. Can he stand up to capital?

But who could have imagined that Lin Bufan himself would suddenly become a force to be reckoned with, even overwhelming Huayi Brothers?

Moreover, she has now propelled Yang Mi and Fan Bingbing to the throne of international female stars. If she had known this earlier, she would definitely have taken the initiative to side with Lin Bufan.

"Now, it's too late to say anything..."

Li Bingbing sighed.

"It's not too late, it's never too late."

At this moment, Li Xue turned to look at Li Bingbing, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"you mean……"

Li Bingbing looked at her younger sister, and an idea popped into her mind.

"Switching to Kyoto Entertainment?"

"That's right!"

Li Xue nodded.

Huayi Brothers is practically on the verge of collapse, if not completely finished, so it's not worth their time to fall with them.

As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on.

Given Li Bingbing's status in the industry, if she wanted to sign with Kyoto Entertainment, they would definitely accept her.

"But is this really okay?"

Li Bingbing frowned.

Her success today is largely due to Huayi Brothers, but now that Huayi is in such a state, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for her to switch to Kyoto Entertainment?

"Every man for himself!"

Li Xue said coldly, "Huayi's stumble today is not our fault. In fact, we have generated a lot of profits for Huayi over the years."

Based on her years of experience in the industry.

Huayi Brothers certainly won't collapse, but in terms of scale, it will definitely become smaller and smaller, especially in terms of its influence in the entertainment industry.

In all likelihood, Huayi Brothers will simply transform from a top-tier company in the Chinese entertainment industry into a first-rate entertainment company, and that will be all.

Conversely, in the end, Kyoto Entertainment will undoubtedly dominate the domestic entertainment industry.

It is well known that Kyoto Entertainment has Hollywood resources, and every star in the industry dreams of entering Hollywood and stepping onto the international stage.

"Then go and contact Kyoto!"

Li Bingbing took a deep breath, hesitated for several seconds, and finally made a decision.

She has already fallen behind a lot and can't afford to delay any longer.

Li Bingbing was born in 73 and is 33 years old this year. She doesn't look that old, but that doesn't mean she's still young.

If she doesn't work hard now, she'll have even less of a place in the industry in the future.

"Don't worry, leave this to me."

Li Xue nodded.

Not only is Li Bingbing preparing to switch to Kyoto Entertainment, but she is also preparing to switch from Huayi Brothers to Kyoto.

…………

Within the industry, there are many people who share the same thoughts as Li Bingbing.

For example, Huang Xiaoming from Huayi Brothers once secretly went to the premiere of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate," but he was always hesitant.

Should I switch from Huayi Brothers to Kyoto Animation?

Staying with Huayi Brothers has its advantages. He is undoubtedly the top star at Huayi Brothers, and he will definitely have priority in terms of resources.

Moreover, this is a difficult time for Huayi Brothers. If he stays with Huayi, the Wangs will definitely not treat him badly in the future.

Switching to Kyoto Entertainment will not make him the top male star there, and from what I understand, Kyoto Entertainment has never had a so-called top male or female star.

For projects within our own company, we only consider suitability for each role, not the size or status of the employee.

No matter how big your star power is, if the role isn't suitable for you, you will absolutely not be cast.

Ultimately, after much deliberation, Huang Xiaoming decided to stay with Huayi Brothers. As a result, at the premiere of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate," he didn't have much contact with Lin Bufan, at most exchanging nods.

To Huang Xiaoming's surprise, Deng Chao actually switched from Huayi Brothers to Kyoto Entertainment.

And then he immediately landed the role of the male lead in "Painted Skin". At that time, Huang Xiaoming felt a little regretful.

If I had also switched to Kyoto Animation back then, would I have gotten the role of Wang Sheng in "Painted Skin"?

Especially now, with the success of "Death" and "Taken", Huang Xiaoming is even more regretful.

Joining Kyoto Animation might not make me the top star, but Kyoto has Hollywood resources. If I can break into Hollywood and establish myself there, what does being the top star of Huayi Brothers matter?

Just as people inside and outside the industry were discussing "Death" and "Taken", a piece of news suddenly shocked the entire entertainment industry once again.

The news was first reported by Hong Kong newspapers.

Kyoto Entertainment completes acquisition of Golden Harvest Film Company

The news shocked everyone, both inside and outside the industry.

It's worth noting that Golden Harvest was the most prestigious company in the 1980s and 90s, and it produced countless classic Hong Kong films back then.

And now, who would have thought that Kyoto Entertainment would quietly acquire Golden Harvest?

According to news reports, Kyoto Entertainment acquired all the shares held by minority shareholders, excluding those publicly traded.

Furthermore, Jiahe has now officially changed its name to Kyoto Jiahe.

After the news was reported, the stock of Golden Harvest, now renamed Kyoto Golden Harvest, rose sharply.

Everyone knows that Kyoto Entertainment is Lin Bufan's company, and right now "Bleach" and "Taken" are showing in theaters overseas.

The stock market is all about the future. Now that Kyoto has taken over Golden Harvest, everyone can see that Golden Harvest is bound to take off.

On that day, shares of Kyoto Golden Harvest in Hong Kong surged by 45%, and Golden Harvest's market value, which had previously fallen to less than HK$8 million, now exceeded HK$11.6 billion.

"Notify Yang Ya-yun to announce, on behalf of Golden Harvest, a collaboration with Emperor Entertainment on 'Overheard'."

After receiving the message, Lin Bufan immediately gave instructions to Bai Bing.

His last trip to Hong Kong was for the movie "Overheard," but he suddenly decided to acquire Golden Harvest. Now that Golden Harvest is in his hands, it's time to launch the project.
