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

"red……"

The next day, when Chen Kaige woke up, he felt a bit thirsty. He himself had no idea how much he had drunk with Lin Bufan.

"woke up!"

Chen Hong, holding a glass of honey water, came to the bedside and handed it to Chen Kaige.

After what happened last night, Chen Hong felt somewhat guilty towards Chen Kaige.

"Red, you're still the best."

Chen Kaige took the honey water and drank it all in one gulp, looking at Chen Hong with a happy expression on his face.

"You can't drink like this anymore."

Chen Hong rolled her eyes at Chen Kaige.

After all, Chen Kaige is getting older, and drinking less alcohol is good for him.

"Don't worry, it won't happen again."

Chen Kaige nodded.

I had a very pleasant conversation with Lin Bufan yesterday, so I drank too much without realizing it.

During this period, Chen Kaige was quite stressed due to the negative reviews of "The Promise". It was rare to meet a director with whom he could have a good conversation, so he was inevitably a little excited.

"Madam, the phone is ringing!"

Just then, the maid handed Chen Hong's phone to her.

"Feed?"

Chen Hong glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number.

"Sister Hong!"

A familiar voice came through the phone, and Chen Hong felt a slight flutter in her heart as she thought about what had happened in the bathroom of the Mei family banquet last night.

"Okay, I'll get ready with Lao Chen right away and book the fastest flight to Los Angeles."

Even after hanging up the phone, Chen Hong still had an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Hong, whose phone is that?"

Chen Kaige looked at Chen Hong, completely bewildered: "What happened?"

"That's great news, it's really great news!"

Chen Hong snapped out of her daze and looked at Chen Kaige with excitement: "The call was from Director Lin..."

During the phone call, Lin Bufan told Chen Hong that his company in Hollywood was preparing to film a project, and he had already recommended director Chen Kaige to them.

"real?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Kaige immediately looked at Chen Hong with excitement.

The film "The Promise" ruined Chen Kaige's reputation, and he is currently in a low period. If he could make a movie in Hollywood, as long as the results are not too bad, it could completely make up for the failure of "The Promise".

"Of course it's true."

Chen Hong nodded and looked at Chen Kaige: "Get ready, I'll see if I can book a flight for today."

As far as he knew, Lin Bufan was also departing for Los Angeles today, and if they could book tickets for today, they could travel together.

"good!"

Unfortunately, Chen Hong called to book her flight too late; all the tickets for today were sold out. She had no choice but to book a flight to Los Angeles for tomorrow morning.

"Could this be Lin Bufan making amends to me?"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hong couldn't help but let her mind wander.

In Chen Hong's opinion, Lin Bufan gave this opportunity to Chen Kaige because of the unexpected incident in the bathroom last night, which left him feeling confused and disoriented.

……

Chen Hong was overthinking things.

Lin Bufan's trip to Los Angeles this time is not only to attend the upcoming Golden Globe Awards, but more importantly, to finish filming the movies he has in hand.

Night at the Museum, I Am Legend, Insidious, Kung Fu Panda, Taken, Final Destination 1

There are a total of six movies. Kung Fu Panda is an animated film, and according to Carter, it is currently in production.

The first season of "Lurking" features the original cast and crew, and filming is nearing completion. It is expected to be released in about a month.

The remaining films, including "Night at the Museum," "I Am Legend," "Taken," and the first "Final Destination," are Lin Bufan's main targets this time.

The director of the movie "Final Destination" doesn't need to be very skilled; as long as he's competent, that's enough. With the entire script and shot selection, anyone could direct this movie.

Hollywood has too many directors who are just there to fill roles, and there's no need to pursue the original cast.

Only "Night at the Museum," "I Am Legend," and "Taken" require Lin Bufan's extra attention.

The movie "I Am Legend" grossed $5.8 million worldwide. It is a film with a strong personal style. So far, Lin Bufan has not found anyone more suitable to play the lead role than Will Smith.

Next are "Taken" and "Night at the Museum".

The movie "Taken" has a very fast pace and requires a professional Hollywood director. Currently, there are no domestic directors suitable for this style of film.

Perhaps one could be John Woo, the director of Taiwan Island.

However, Lin Bufan didn't like this person and rejected him immediately.

Night at the Museum is a fantasy film, and the most important thing is the visuals, which happens to be Chen Kaige's forte.

Furthermore, Lin Bufan has absolutely no need to worry about Chen Kaige botching "Night at the Museum".

Hollywood is different from mainland China. In mainland China, directors can control the entire film from top to bottom, including post-production editing.

However, in Hollywood, the final cut is not in the director's hands.

In other words, Chen Kaige is just a tool; all he needs to do is follow the script and make the scenes more fantastical.

Chen Kaige doesn't need to worry about the film's storyline at all.

……

As the plane landed, Lin Bufan, with Bai Bing in tow, walked out of the airport and saw Carter standing next to a Rolls-Royce.

"BOSS!"

Carter greeted Lin Bufan with a broad smile as he came out.

"Carter, I have to say, you're getting fatter and fatter."

Lin Bufan gave Carter a disdainful look.

When Lin Bufan first met the other person, he weighed about 150 pounds. Now, just a few months later, he looks like he weighs 180 or 190 pounds.

"Boss, you know, this isn't my fault..."

Carter looked at Lin Bufan with a wronged expression.

"Don't say I didn't warn you, be careful when you're out and about, there are plenty of sick people out there these days."

Lin Bufan glanced at Carter.

Carter is the general manager of Extraordinary Pictures. Ever since "Manchester by the Sea" was nominated for a Golden Globe, countless women have been trying to get close to him every day.

Hollywood has no shortage of women who would sacrifice themselves for an opportunity.

"Don't worry, boss, it won't happen."

Carter looked confident.

He always took precautions against the women outside, carrying his little rubber almost with him at all times, and he knew how to choose the right one even when he was full.

"This is my assistant, Bai Bing."

After getting into the car, Lin Bufan looked at Carter and introduced Bai Bing to him.

"Carter, head of Extraordinary Pictures."

"Hello, Miss Bai!"

Carter looked at Bai Bing with a slightly ingratiating smile.

Since ancient times, even a seventh-rank official can only serve at the gates of a prime minister's house, let alone Bai Bing, who is the boss's assistant.

With such a beautiful woman, who knows, one day she might become his boss's wife. How could Carter not be eager to please her?
