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

"Do you know the TV series 'The Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty'?" Sister Li looked at Deng Jiajia with a complicated expression.

"Know!"

Deng Jiajia nodded.

Although she was relatively unknown in the industry, how could she not know about such big news?

"Congratulations! Kyoto Entertainment has selected you to play the role of Hu Shanxiang in 'Emperor Yongle'."

"I?"

Deng Jiajia pointed at herself and looked at her agent with a shocked expression.

"Jiajia, tell Sister Li, do you know anyone in Kyoto?" Sister Li asked again.

She knew Deng Jiajia's situation all too well; she was practically invisible in the industry, and among all the artists under her management, Deng Jiajia was almost at the very bottom.

However, to her surprise, Kyoto, this behemoth in the entertainment industry, would one day suddenly ask one of its artists to film a movie.

"Sister Li, I really don't know anyone from Kyoto."

Deng Jiajia gave a wry smile and shook her head.

If she knew people in Kyoto, how could she still be a nobody in the industry? She would have already risen to prominence long ago.

"That's true..."

Sister Li nodded when she heard Deng Jiajia's answer.

Considering the other party's situation, if they truly knew people in Kyoto, they would have risen to power long ago.

"Alright, go back and get ready. You'll be coming to Kyoto with me tomorrow to sign the contract!"

After all, Deng Jiajia is one of his artists. If she becomes famous, it will benefit him. The most important thing right now is to sign the contract and get the role.

"Yes, Sister Li!"

Deng Jiajia left the company with excitement.

A smile blossomed on Deng Jiajia's face the moment she stepped out the door and the sunlight shone on her.

She knew very well that she didn't know anyone from Kyoto Entertainment, and there was only one reason why they had approached her: they had seen her previous films.

Thinking of this, Deng Jiajia clenched her fists and secretly vowed that she would never underestimate any role and would give her best performance in every role.

……

On the other side, Liang Guanhua, Zhu Yawen and others also received calls, and no one could refuse the opportunity to star in "Emperor Yongle".

Zhu Yawen is currently filming "Crossing the Guandong" and cannot leave for the time being, but his schedule is just right.

The production of "Emperor Yongle" has been approved, but there are still many things to do, such as set design, location selection, and even the selection of other actors, all of which will take time.

After "Crossing the Guandong" is finished filming, perhaps "Emperor Yongle" can start filming.

"How's it going? Did you get the role?"

Chen Daoming looked at Wang Jinghua walking towards him and asked her a question.

"The roles were decided from the very beginning..."

Wang Jinghua shook her head helplessly.

She just called Zhang Ting, the director of the "Ming Dynasty" series, and was told that the role of Zhu Di had already been cast.

"The role has been cast..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Daoming felt a pang of disappointment.

…………

Before we knew it, it was April 15nd.

"Feed?"

Before Lin Bufan even arrived at the company, he received a call from Carter on the other side of the ocean.

"Boss, 'Taken' is out of theaters, with a global box office of $2.52 million..." Carter reported excitedly to Lin Bufan over the phone.

The production cost of "Taken" was only $20 million, and the box office revenue was $2.52 million. After deducting all costs, the company received about $120 million. After deducting the $20 million cost, the film made a profit of over $100 million.

After arriving at the company, Bai Bing knocked on the door and came in.

"Boss, the night after tomorrow is the championship night of 'The Voice of China,' and Director Hong is asking if you'll be there?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bufan remembered the variety show "The Voice of China".

Since the airing of "The Voice of China", the ratings have been gradually rising, but it has also come to an end, after all, there were a total of 12 episodes.

The first twelve episodes are for the selection and elimination process of the show.

After 12 episodes, it will be the championship night, the battle for the title.

In preparation for the championship night the day after tomorrow, the publicity department has been doing a massive online promotion campaign.

"Tell Director Hong that I will be there in person."

Lin Bufan thought for a moment and figured he didn't have anything planned for the night of the 17th, so he might as well go and check it out.

All 12 episodes of Kyoto Entertainment's "The Voice of China" are pre-recorded, except for the championship night the day after tomorrow, which will be broadcast live.

At the same time, it also tells the public that there is no behind-the-scenes manipulation in the program.

For the contestants, the live broadcast is also a test. Success or failure depends on this moment. Any mistake on stage could lead to missing out on the championship.

"Okay, boss!"

After Bai Bing left, Lin Bufan took out the script for "Lust, Caution" and frowned as he read it.

The script for "Lust, Caution" has been basically polished and there are no more changes to it, but Lin Bufan still hasn't made up his mind about the role.

The role of Mr. Yi was cast with Leung Ka-fai, but he could never find a role that suited his taste for the role of Wang Jiazhi.

The role of Wang Jiazhi is extremely difficult to play well.

The actor must portray both the student's initial innocence and naivety, as well as Wang Jiazhi's later transformation.

In the original version of "Lust, Caution", Tang Wei's performance in the first half was quite good, but the second half was only passable.

"Never mind, let's wait until later for the audition!"

Lin Bufan shook his head slightly.

……

Just after Lin Bufan decided to participate in the final night of "The Voice of China", Hong Tao called over the four mentors and gave them instructions.

"The championship night the day after tomorrow will be broadcast live. When you get back, be sure to remind the players..."

Hong Tao looked at the four mentors with a serious expression.

Live streaming and recorded broadcasts are completely different concepts.

If there are any mistakes during a pre-recorded broadcast, you can re-record. But during a live broadcast, no matter what mistakes occur, there is absolutely no second chance.

In fact, Hong Tao could have chosen to pre-record the championship night.

However, after much deliberation, Hong Tao decided to use live streaming, which would also be a novel experience for viewers.

In competitions like this, it's hard for the winners to avoid being accused of using connections.

Regardless of skill level, different people perceive each player's ability differently, and their preferences also vary.

He believed that this live broadcast would definitely create a ratings phenomenon.

Now, thanks to the extensive promotion by the Kyoto publicity department, almost the entire nation's audience is eagerly anticipating the championship night of "The Voice of China."
