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

"I've already contacted them in Kyoto, but they haven't replied yet!"

Li Xue frowned slightly.

"How did you negotiate?"

Li Bingbing looked at Li Xue with a puzzled expression.

Given her status among the "Four Dan and Two Bing" actresses in the entertainment industry, surely Jing wouldn't ignore it.

"I was talking to them about what kind of treatment they could offer us if we signed with Kyoto..." Li Xue replied earnestly.

Her demands weren't high; she simply wanted Kyoto to provide Li Bingbing with more resources, and these resources couldn't be inferior to those for Fan Bingbing.

In Li Xue's opinion, Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing are both among the "Four Dan and Two Bing" actresses, so the terms for Li Bingbing's signing with Kyoto Animation must not be worse than those for Fan Bingbing.

Otherwise, if this gets out to the outside world, how will people view Li Bingbing?

If the signing conditions of two actresses who are both Bingbing are so different, it will seriously affect Li Bingbing's status and influence in the industry.

"you……"

Looking at her younger sister, Li Bingbing opened her mouth, "No, Li Xue, what are you thinking?"

"What are you thinking?"

Li Xue looked at Li Bingbing with a completely bewildered expression.

"I know you mean well, but you want me to be treated the same as Fan Bingbing? Is that even possible?" Li Bingbing looked at her sister speechlessly.

Li Bingbing had always thought that her younger sister was incredibly smart and capable of handling everything.

But now she suddenly realizes that things are not as she thought.

"Why is it impossible? We're all top actresses, if your treatment is worse than Fan Bingbing's, what will the outside world think of you?" Li Xue looked at Li Bingbing and answered as if it were a matter of course.

"But don't forget, how can I compare to the relationship between Lin Bufan and Fan Bingbing?"

Li Bingbing gave a bitter smile.

She wanted the same treatment as Fan Bingbing; she also wanted to go to Hollywood to make movies.

Since the release of "Taken", Fan Bingbing's team has given her the title of "International Fan", directly comparable to Zhang Ziyi's title of "International Zhang".

In addition to Yang Mi, and aside from Gong Li, who is currently semi-retired from acting, these three names are always mentioned when people talk about influential female celebrities worldwide.

But as one might imagine, the reality is that the rumors and photos circulating online about Fan Bingbing and Lin Bufan's relationship speak volumes.

Furthermore, when Lin Bufan had a falling out with Huayi Brothers, Fan Bingbing was the most outspoken supporter of Lin Bufan.

"And what about me? I only have the title of 'Double Ice,' what else do I have?" Li Bingbing gave a bitter smile.

"Fan Bingbing only got this opportunity because she slept with Director Lin..."

Li Xue looked at Li Bingbing nonchalantly: "If you really agree, you can sleep with him too."

"I, you..."

Looking at Li Xue's indifferent expression, Li Bingbing opened her mouth, but in the end shook her head.

Forget it, I'm not going to say anything more!

There's no point in saying anything more. If Kyoto Entertainment doesn't respond soon, they won't be able to contact them again.

If she were to contact him again, or even lower her standards, Li Bingbing would have completely lost face.

Li Bingbing cannot do that, and she will not let Li Xue do that either.

……

"Boss, Emperor Entertainment has already transferred the box office revenue share from 'Rob-B-Hood' into the company account."

The next day, Bai Bing came to report to Lin Bufan.

"Rob-B-Hood" was a project created by Emperor Entertainment Group, and Lin Bufan initially held a 3% stake in it.

The total investment for this film was 5000 million, of which Kyoto Entertainment held a 3% stake, contributing 1500 million.

"Rob-B-Hood" was released on September 28 and ended its run on October 28, a total of 30 days, and grossed 95.8 million yuan at the box office.

After deducting funds and taxes, the final box office revenue was 8910 million.

Of the box office revenue, the production company receives 40%, or 3564 million, while Kyoto Entertainment, which holds a 30% stake, receives only 1069 million.

From an investment perspective, this box office revenue share is definitely a loss.

Of course, this box office figure is only applicable to mainland China.

In reality, only a portion of Jackie Chan's films' box office revenue comes from mainland China.

"Baby Box Office" was released globally on September 30th and by the time it finished its run on October 30th, it had grossed a total of US$24 million worldwide, including its box office in mainland China.

Based on the current exchange rate, 2400 million US dollars is equivalent to 1.9 million in box office revenue.

The revenue sharing between cinemas in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even Japan and South Korea is different. After deducting taxes and funds, the total box office revenue is 1.8 million, of which the production company receives 9500 million.

Therefore, Kyoto Entertainment actually received 30% of the 95 million yen, which is 28.5 million yen.

After deducting the 1500 million investment, the final profit was 1350 million.

"Have all the copyright contracts been signed?"

Lin Bufan looked at Bai Bing.

It was agreed beforehand that another reason Lin Bufan invested in "Rob-B-Hood" was that the online streaming rights for the film would ultimately belong to Kyoto Entertainment.

This isn't about buying copyrights; it's about acquiring the film's broadcasting rights, which belong solely to Kyoto Entertainment.

"It's all signed!"

Bai Bing nodded slightly.

No one understands better than Lin Bufan how much everyone will care about online broadcasting rights in the future.

Lin Bufan will definitely not miss out on the future of the video industry.

Since acquiring Golden Harvest, in addition to changing its name to Kyoto Golden Harvest, the most important thing is that Kyoto Entertainment has acquired all the online streaming rights to the films in Golden Harvest's film library.

In addition, Lam Bo-fan also sent people to talk to TVB.

The goal was singular: to acquire the online streaming rights to TVB's vast library of films and television dramas.

If we could acquire all the online streaming rights to classic Hong Kong films and TV dramas from the last century, we would be virtually unrivaled when we entered the video industry in the future.

In addition to spending tens of millions of US dollars, Lin Bufan also acquired the online broadcasting rights to almost all of TVB's classic TV dramas and signed exclusive authorization agreements.

With this exclusive authorization, Lin Bufan had no worries about future video copyright issues.

…………

"Boss, good news!"

On November 4th, Lin Bufan had just arrived at the company when he received a call from Xu Hongfei.

"What news?"

After asking the question, Lin Bufan felt a sense of anticipation.

"Boss, we've reached an agreement with MIH Company. They've agreed to sell us 7% of Tencent's shares..." Xu Hongfei's voice sounded excited on the phone.

Since Lin Bufan gave the order last time, Xu Hongfei has focused all his energy on MIH Company's sale of Tencent shares.
