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

"Boss, 'Lost in Thailand' finished its run yesterday. Here are the screening statistics..."

Bai Bing's delicate face was moist and radiant as she placed a document in front of Lin Bufan.

"kindness!"

Lin Bufan nodded slightly, then picked up the document and glanced at it.

After a 30-day run, "Lost in Thailand" finally grossed over 2.08 million yuan and was taken off the screens. The box office revenue is expected to be deposited into the company's account within the next 1-3 months.

The estimated revenue is 79 million, and after deducting costs and marketing expenses, the profit is over 60 million.

With the success of "Lost in Thailand", the film's director, Shen Ao, also became an instant sensation in the industry. Now, many investors are waving their money, wanting to hire Shen Ao as their director.

The director's fee was set at 200 million, as long as he agreed.

Although Shen Ao is a contracted director with Kyoto Entertainment, Kyoto Entertainment has not prohibited him from taking on outside projects.

According to company rules, if outsiders want to hire a director signed with the company to make a film, they must go through the company's negotiation process. The company will not obstruct such requests, but if the project is good, the company will definitely get involved.

Of course, even if a project is bad, as long as the director wants to make money, the company won't stop him.

After all, it's not good to block someone's path to wealth. It all depends on whether the director can stick to his principles and choose money or fame.

Ultimately, unsurprisingly, the bid for the Olympics was rejected by all the participating projects.

He had read all the scripts, and the company had informed him that if he wanted to film them, the company could allow it, but the company would not invest in any of the films.

Kyoto is excellent in this respect. Whether or not to invest in a film is not up to the general manager. It requires unanimous approval from the screenwriting department. At least 80% of the screenwriters must agree that the script is acceptable for filming before a project can be launched or investment can be made.

With this foundation established, even if Lin Bufan abandons Kyoto Entertainment, it's highly unlikely they'll produce any bad films.

After all, in the industry, there is only one company that values ​​the scriptwriting department as much as Kyoto Entertainment, and that is Kyoto.

Besides the director, Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang also became famous.

That's why, after Wang Baoqiang became famous, people started looking for his other works, and ended up bringing up "Soldiers Sortie," which aired last year.

After the TV series was broadcast online, it became a phenomenon, and Xu Sanduo's name became extremely popular online.

……

"By the way, boss, Director Zhang asked if you'd be going to the set for 'The Yongle Emperor,' the second installment of the 'Ming Dynasty' series, which starts filming the day after tomorrow."

Bai Bing suddenly remembered and hurriedly reported it.

The Director Zhang she mentioned is director Zhang Ting, who is also the director of the first film in the "Ming Dynasty" series, "Hongwu Emperor".

Since the release of "The Emperor Hongwu", Zhang Ting has become quite famous in the TV drama director circle.

Tell Zhang Ting that I will be there.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Bufan realized that once the three most important scenes were filmed, not only the two actors but also he himself needed to rest for two days to completely detach himself from the storyline before filming the other scenes.

Otherwise, if you're not in the right state of mind while filming, you simply won't be able to film well.

"Okay, boss, I'll let Director Zhang know."

"kindness!"

Lin Bufan nodded slightly, then looked at Bai Bing and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how's the coordination for the TV series 'The Myth' going?"

Upon seeing the white cypress, Lin Bufan suddenly thought of the TV series "The Myth".

In this TV series, Bai Bing's portrayal of Princess Yu Shu completely surpasses that of Korean star Kim Hee-seon in Lin Bufan's eyes.

Lin Bufan had already bought the adaptation rights to the movie "The Myth" from Jackie Chan. After buying it, he directly handed it over to the screenwriting department for adaptation.

"The scriptwriting department is currently adapting the script; it's not finished yet."

Bai Bing flipped through the notebook and then reported to Lin Bufan.

For TV dramas like this, which involve time travel and have historical elements, the scriptwriting department is also considering how to make the plot more reasonable.

Lin Bufan, in particular, gave a firm instruction: although the main character of the TV series is not Qin Shi Huang, it must still capture Qin Shi Huang's grandeur.

We can't portray Qin Shi Huang like the original TV series did, making him look like something else entirely.

That's why the scriptwriting department is now working hard to adapt this TV series well.

This can be considered a test for them.

Lin Bufan has always had some understanding of the film or television series that the screenwriting department adapts and reviews, and he knows how to do it.

However, the TV series "The Myth" is different. Other TV series only changed one aspect of the content, but this TV series had to change too much.

At the same time, once the TV series is released, it will be a good opportunity to test whether the screenwriting department I assembled is effective.

"Would you like to play Princess Yu Shu in that movie?"

Lin Bufan looked at Bai Bing.

Now that she's with me, I should at least consider her feelings.

If she wanted, Lin Bufan could also help her rise to power.

"I don't want to act!"

Bai Bing shook her head directly.

If it were just the beginning, she would have chosen to become a star without hesitation.

But what has she been in contact with since she started following Lin Bufan?

A mere celebrity is nothing to her anymore.

"Okay, tell me what you're thinking when you have it!"

Lin Bufan nodded slightly; he was also reluctant to let Bai Bing go.

Having her by his side now is so convenient, and he's gotten used to Bai Bing handling things for him.

Of course, Lin Bufan couldn't keep her by his side forever. If outsiders saw it, they would think he was mistreating his subordinates. He had to give her a good place to go, whether she chose to be in the public eye or behind the scenes, or she could stay in the group.

"Um!"

Bai Bing nodded slightly.

In reality, she didn't want to leave Lin Bufan's side.

Even a seventh-rank official is treated with respect when he's with Lin Bufan, out of respect for her.

But if she really leaves Lin Bufan's side, that would be a different story.

"perhaps……"

An idea suddenly flashed through Bai Bing's mind.

She understood that if Lin Bufan kept her by his side without promoting her, it wouldn't look good to outsiders, so promoting her was definitely the right thing to do.

If that's the case, why not just expand the Secretariat directly?

Currently, Lin Bufan only has one assistant, but as Lin Bufan's businesses expand, Bai Bing finds herself with an increasing workload.

Before, when she wasn't with Lin Bufan in the evenings, she could still use the time to handle some work, but now time is getting tighter and tighter.

If there were more people to share the burden with, it would be much easier.
