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

The very next day, news came from Hong Kong that the "Overheard" project, jointly funded by Kyoto Golden Harvest and Emperor Entertainment, had been established.

With the example of "Ip Man", when the news was just announced, the market value of Kyoto Golden Harvest and Emperor Entertainment Group rose simultaneously.

Because the main controlling party of the project is Kyoto Golden Harvest, the market value increased by 12% on the same day, directly exceeding HK$13 billion.

Looking at the rising stock market, Lin Bufan couldn't help but sigh, "The stock market is really profitable."

After he acquired Golden Harvest and reorganized it into Kyoto Golden Harvest, its market value soared from 8 million to 13 billion, an increase of 5 million.

Currently, Kyoto Holdings holds a 68% stake in Jiahe.

Originally, these shares were only worth HK$5.44 million, but now they have risen to HK$8.84 million, resulting in a net profit of HK$3.4 million.

No wonder so many companies are looking to go public; the allure of the stock market is simply too great.

However, even so, Lin Bufan's Kyoto Entertainment Group will not be listed on the stock exchange; only its subsidiaries will be listed.

For example, companies formed by splitting up artist departments or music and distribution departments are all preparing to go public in the future.

Ideally, they should conduct an IPO independently; otherwise, they will have to go public through a reverse takeover.

"I hereby announce that filming for '2012' has wrapped..."

On October 20th, this special effects movie, which had been filmed for nearly three months, finally announced that filming had wrapped.

However, what happens after filming wraps up is even more important.

"2012" is a special effects blockbuster, and the post-production work is the most crucial and time-consuming part.

Ultimately, Lin Bufan held the wrap party for "2012" after returning to Beijing, since Dingri County was a small border town with nothing much to eat.

After the wrap party, the outside world learned that filming for "2012" had wrapped up, and news outlets and online platforms followed suit.

This is Lin Bufan's second Hollywood film since "Manchester by the Sea," and it's a massive production with a budget of $2 million.

Many people in the industry are waiting.

Hollywood is not an easy place to make it in. If Lin Bufan's $2 million film "2012" loses money, it may ruin his Hollywood career.

At that time, domestic entertainment companies will also be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Before Lin Bufan and Kyoto, Huayi Brothers was like a mountain weighing on their shoulders.

However, due to the sudden emergence of Lin Bufan and Kyoto, although Huayi Brothers' influence waned, Kyoto rose to prominence.

The difference is that the threat from Kyoto is much greater than that from Huayi Brothers.

At least, Huayi Brothers only operates within the domestic entertainment industry, and in many ways, it still needs to give face to other entertainment companies.

But Lin Bufan's Kyoto has already made connections in Hollywood. Any ambitious star in the industry would dare to offend Kyoto.

This has led to Kyoto's growing prestige within the circle.

Many entertainment companies now hope that Lin Bufan can suffer a major setback in Hollywood, so that he can remove the "Kyoto" mountain from his head.

The day after filming wrapped on "2012", the crew of "Painted Skin" in Hengdian also announced that filming had wrapped.

"Honey, Director Tsui asked if 'Painted Skin' could also have its special effects done in Hollywood?"

That evening, after some exercise, Liu Yifei nestled in Lin Bufan's arms, looking up at him with her head slightly raised.

"I've already given instructions to Tiangong. After Xu Ke does a rough cut of 'Painted Skin,' we'll take it directly to Tiangong for special effects."

Lin Bufan nodded slightly.

Lin Bufan originally planned to establish a special effects company in China, so that the special effects shots for "Painted Skin" would also be produced domestically.

But then Lin Bufan thought about it and decided to use someone else's resources to his advantage.

Developing special effects in China right now is a guaranteed money-loser; the only difference is how much.

In Hollywood, this would not only allow them to cultivate their own special effects team, but also generate revenue. When the time is right, they could directly dismantle Hollywood's top-tier special effects capabilities.

While some remained in Hollywood, others were sent back to China to establish a branch of Tiangong Special Effects.

Therefore, even if Xu Ke hadn't said anything, Lin Bufan was already planning to send "Painted Skin" to Hollywood for special effects production.

"Then I'm relieved!"

This is Liu Yifei's first film after her pregnancy and childbirth, so of course she hopes the film will be as good as possible.

"Sissi, what are you planning to do next?"

Lin Bufan placed his right hand on Liu Yifei's smooth back, hugged her, and asked softly.

"Hmm, I want to rest a bit, read a book, and spend some time with the kids..."

Liu Yifei enjoys acting, but she doesn't like taking on multiple projects at once.

This time, she went to Hengdian to film a movie for several months. She could only see her child occasionally when her mother brought the child to visit the set. Now, filming has finally been completed.

She plans to take a good rest for a while.

While spending time with her children, she also enjoys reading. Besides filming, reading is another of her great pleasures.

Lin Bufan's women each have their own thoughts and hobbies, and Lin Bufan won't interfere or meddle with them; as long as they're happy, that's all that matters.

"By the way, when is Dong Xuan's due date?"

Liu Yifei suddenly brought up Dong Xuan.

"The doctor said it will be May 10th next year."

"Honey, what were your thoughts after Dong Xuan gave birth to the baby?"

Liu Yifei looked up at Lin Bufan.

"What? What are you thinking?"

Lin Bufan looked at Liu Yifei with curiosity.

Based on his understanding of Liu Yifei, he knew she wouldn't bring up this topic without a reason; if she did, she must have something on her mind.

"Honey, Dong Xuan's child is a sibling of our Xin Xin and Chen Chen. If they can't grow up together from a young age, I'm worried they won't be close in the future." Liu Yifei's eyes were filled with worry.

Liu Yifei, who grew up in a single-parent family, still longed for family affection despite Liu Xiaoli's kindness to her.

Perhaps she wouldn't be used to living with Dong Xuan.

However, the children are different; they are all my husband's children. If they don't interact with each other from a young age, even if they are siblings, they won't be very close in the future.

She didn't want it to be like this.

"I was thinking, is there a way to let them grow up together from childhood?" Liu Yifei looked up at Lin Bufan, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"You're right!"

After considering it for a moment, Lin Bufan nodded slightly.

He hadn't realized this before Liu Yifei mentioned it, since he was all alone in his family and didn't have any siblings.

As parents, what we fear most is brothers fighting amongst themselves.

Moreover, their mothers are not the same person.
