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

"Xiaoqian, what's wrong?"

Hao Lei looked at Wan Qian, who was sitting in front of him and had yawned dozens of times in less than ten minutes, and was somewhat puzzled.

"Bufan came yesterday!"

Wan Qian looked up at Hao Lei, then yawned again.

If she hadn't already arranged to go shopping with Hao Lei, she wouldn't have wanted to go out today at all; she really wanted to stay home and get a good night's sleep.

Thinking back to last night.

If she hadn't begged for forgiveness repeatedly and promised not to be jealous again, she probably wouldn't be able to get off the bed today.

"No, I don't understand what you mean."

Hao Lei looked at Wan Qian with a puzzled expression.

Lin Bufan is here, but that doesn't mean you have to be so listless today.

"I……"

"Never mind, I'm not talking to you anymore."

Wan Qian opened her mouth, but after thinking about it, she found it really difficult to speak.

"Wait, you guys aren't...?"

Hao Lei's eyes flickered slightly as he considered a possibility, and he looked at Wan Qian with some surprise: "Director Lin is that amazing?"

She's a grown woman; she's experienced everything. If it weren't for that film, "Summer Palace," she might already be married by now.

So, there are some things she does know.

"From 9 PM until 2 AM, what do you say?"

Wan Qian glanced at Hao Lei helplessly.

Since Hao Lei had already guessed it, Wan Qian no longer hid it from him.

"From 9 PM to 2 AM? Five hours?"

Hao Lei calculated the time, looked at Wan Qian in surprise, and his voice involuntarily rose a little.

"Keep your voice down!"

Wan Qian quickly grabbed Hao Lei's arm, glanced around, and seeing that no one in the coffee shop was watching them, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Hao Lei: "Otherwise, why do you think I'm so sleepy..."

"If it weren't for our shopping trip today, I would definitely be at home catching up on sleep right now and wouldn't come out no matter what."

"No, tell me in detail, these 5 hours..."

Hao Lei looked at Wan Qian with a gossipy expression and curious eyes.

Sometimes, when women get together and talk about color, they go into far more detail than men do.

In particular, Hao Lei was bursting with curiosity and asked detailed questions, while Wan Qian, also out of a desire to show off, recounted many details to Hao Lei.

"It really is..."

Hao Lei's mouth formed an "O" shape, and his eyes shone brightly.

…………

After spending two days with Wan Qian in Shanghai, Lin Bufan returned to Beijing.

It wasn't that Lin Bufan didn't want Wan Qian to stay in Beijing; it was just that Wan Qian didn't like it and only wanted to stay in Shanghai.

In Wan Qian's words, Lin Bufan had many women in Beijing, but in Shanghai, Lin Bufan belonged only to her. Even if they could only see each other a few times every two or three months and he only spent a few days with her, she still enjoyed that feeling.

Lin Bufan would satisfy the requests of his women as long as they weren't too unreasonable.

Moreover, Wan Qian's request is not an excessive one.

After returning to Beijing, Lin Bufan completely relaxed.

Spend some time with Liu Yifei today, and tomorrow with An Yixuan, or perhaps Dong Xuan or Chen Zihan...

The company has professionals managing it. Kyoto Entertainment is currently undergoing a group restructuring, and it will take about three more months to complete the separation of departments from the group.

In terms of projects, there are only two: "The Starry Night" and "Du Lala's Promotion Diary".

For the movie "The Starry Night", Lin Bufan decided to use the original cast, except that the female lead was changed to Zhao Liying, and all the other roles remained the same.

The original director of this TV series was Chen Ming-chang from Taiwan.

This director may not be well-known by name, but he later directed many classic TV series, such as "Across the Ocean to See You" starring Zhu Yawen and Wang Likun, and "Diamond Lover" starring Tang Yan.

Currently, there is a relatively classic idol drama, "The Prince Who Turns into a Frog," which starred Ming Dao and Chen Qiaoen in 05.

Ultimately, however, he wasn't a contracted director with Kyoto Entertainment, and the movie "The Starry Night" wasn't particularly difficult to make.

In the end, Lin Bufan was handed over to Shang Jing to direct.

Shang Jing's previous work was the sitcom "My Own Swordsman". This TV series is a classic, but it was not difficult for the director at all.

In terms of technology and other aspects, the requirements for directing a sitcom are probably not as high as those for directing a variety show.

As for the TV series "My Own Swordsman", an agreement has been reached with Shanghai TV, and it will be released on December 23.

The TV series "My Own Swordsman" has a total of 40 episodes. Shanghai TV acquired the first-run broadcast rights for 120 million yuan per episode.

The 40-episode TV series "My Own Swordsman" only sold 4800 million copies in total.

To be honest, this price is very low compared to its classic counterparts in later generations, but it is still quite reasonable from today's perspective.

The price of this TV series is quite good, even very high.

Ultimately, this TV series is just a sitcom with no grand scenes. It simply features a few more familiar celebrities, but they are all second or third-tier guest stars.

The main actors aren't exactly known for their ability to guarantee high viewership ratings, even by industry standards.

The fact that it could sell for 120 million per episode is thanks to the preferential treatment given to Kyoto Entertainment by Shanghai TV for the show "The Voice of China".

Originally, Shanghai TV was only ranked among the top five local TV stations in the country, and the top spot undoubtedly belonged to Shanghai TV.

However, since "The Voice of China" aired, its ratings in the same time slot have completely crushed "Happy Camp," the flagship program of Shanghai TV.

It's no exaggeration to say that it wasn't just a beating, it was a relentless, relentless whipping.

The highest viewership rating for a single episode of "The Voice of China" has even exceeded 8%, which means that it was watched by tens of millions of households across the country, representing 14 billion people.

This program has truly reached the level of a phenomenon.

Besides the program's novelty, the mentors were also a very important reason for its high viewership ratings.

The show's phenomenal ratings caused the GG fee for the same time slot on Shanghai TV to skyrocket, making it even more profitable than Kyoto TV.

Making money is secondary; Shanghai TV is not short of money at all. What it lacks is viewership ratings. For the leaders, viewership ratings are political achievements, which cannot be bought with any amount of money.

In particular, the deputy director in charge of "The Voice of China" is always all smiles. With the leadership transition approaching, the show's ratings have skyrocketed, making Shanghai TV the top station in its time slot. This will greatly help his chances of becoming the next director of Shanghai TV.

Even "My Own Swordsman" was approved by this deputy director. He did it not for any other reason than to repay a favor to someone in Kyoto.
