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

Lin Bufan didn't care at all about the rumors with Zhao Liying.

He had so many lice that he wasn't worried at all.

Whether it's true or false, unless the person he's rumored to be dating is unattractive, he won't and has no need to deny it.

With Yang Tianzhen's crisis management department in place, Lin Bufan's online reputation has been kept very well under control, and he is mainly portrayed as a romantic and talented man.

This even sparked discussions on forums like Baidu Tieba and Tianya, with many saying, "If I were Lin Bufan, I would be even more of a womanizer than him."

In short, Lin Bufan's womanizing ways are not offensive.

Although he has a child, he is not married and doesn't even have a publicly acknowledged girlfriend, so it doesn't count as cheating. Therefore, there's no way to morally criticize him.

……

On April 5th, Carter called Lin Bufan again, mainly to report on the movie "World War Z". He said that preparations and location scouting were complete and filming could begin at any time.

Lin Bufan didn't have much to say about the movie.

Both the director and the actors are the original cast and crew.

After discussing the movie "World War Z," Lin Bufan inquired about the progress of the special effects production for "2012."

Since filming "2012", Lin Bufan has shared all his ideas about special effects with the special effects production team, and every now and then, they would send the finished special effects to Lin Bufan for his review.

If it weren't for filming "Lust, Caution," he would have gone to Hollywood long ago.

"I'll go there before the Venice Film Festival starts."

The Venice International Film Festival starts in August, and "Lust, Caution" will be one of the films competing at that time. Lin Bufan himself will definitely need to go to Venice.

In the middle of the festival, from the opening of the Venice Film Festival to the closing ceremony, which is the awards ceremony, there are ten days in between. He can use these ten days to go to Hollywood.

Let's take a look at how the production of "2012" is progressing.

Lin Bufan has high hopes for this film, especially in terms of box office performance.

The original version of this movie grossed US$7.91 million, which is close to RMB 64 billion. That's equivalent to 6 Green Wood Life-Nourishing Pills.

So far, Lin Bufan only has two Green Wood Life-Nourishing Pills, and he dares not use them recklessly.

This elixir, while capable of extending lifespan, can truly be a lifesaver in critical moments, so it should never be used lightly.

Who can guarantee that no one will encounter an accident?

If he eats it now, it may add 20 years to his lifespan, but what will he do when he urgently needs it?

Fortunately, Lin Bufan was still young and in no hurry to take such a precious pill as the Green Wood Life-Nourishing Pill in order to extend his lifespan.

He will wait until he has a surplus of elixirs in the future before taking some to extend his lifespan.

……

As the filming of "Lust, Caution" progressed rapidly, April 18th arrived in the blink of an eye.

"Click!"

"Congratulations everyone, filming has wrapped!"

Lin Bufan stood up, holding a walkie-talkie in one hand, and looked at everyone present with a big smile.

"Oh! Filming's wrapped up..."

The crew members on set immediately cheered.

"Xiaobai, have you booked the hotel?"

Lin Bufan turned to look at Bai Bing.

"Everything's booked, boss!"

Bai Bing nodded. She had already prepared for the wrap party several days ago.

After all, the entire crew has increased to nearly 200 people in order to speed up post-production.

If we calculate based on 10 people per table, we would need 20 more tables, which would definitely require a relatively large venue.

"Okay, notify the props and equipment departments and have them put away all the props on site."

"Yes, boss!"

At the wrap party that evening, director Lin Bufan was undoubtedly the one who received the most toasts.

"Director Lin, it was such a pleasure working with you. I hope we can do it again next time."

Liang Jiahui looked at Lin Bufan with a serious expression.

Initially, Liang Jiahui believed that Lin Bufan's Oscar for Best Director was due to luck. This idea was somewhat subjective, but Lin Bufan was indeed too young.

However, through this collaboration, Liang Jiahui realized he was wrong.

Lin Bufan's talent is undeniable; among all the directors he has worked with, he is undoubtedly number one, whether in lighting design, location scouting, or character development.

There will be an opportunity.

Liang Jiahui downed his glass of wine, while Lin Bufan only took a sip. He didn't know how many more people would toast him, and even with his enhanced body, he couldn't handle it, so he could only drink a little each time.

"Director Lin, let me toast you."

After Liang Jiahui sat down, Dong Jie, the film's leading actress, stood up, walked to Lin Bufan, and her gratitude was evident in her eyes.

She never expected that she would get this role.

Most importantly, she got the role without paying anything in return.

Although the scenes are quite explicit, Director Lin said that many of the scenes may not be shown when the movie is released, so after the movie is released, she can still say to the public that she did not film such explicit scenes.

Therefore, it was only natural for Dong Jie to offer this toast.

"good!"

Lin Bufan glanced at Dong Jie but didn't say anything more.

As for the matter between her and Pan Yueming, that's their own business, and outsiders have no right to interfere.

Sometimes, we should respect other people's fates and not interfere in everything.

After Dong Jie, it was the second male lead, Pan Yueming, who also offered a toast in a swift and decisive manner, drinking it all in one gulp.

After Pan Yueming, the other actors took turns stepping forward to toast Lin Bufan.

Similarly, it was all done by them at Lin Bufan's behest.

Even though Lin Bufan was very casual, he couldn't handle the large number of people. After the actors, there were heads of various departments of the crew, and so on. With dozens of people, even though Lin Bufan drank very little each time, he still drank nearly three bottles of baijiu. In fact, by the time the wrap party ended, Lin Bufan didn't even know how he left.

"hiss……"

Even the next morning, when Lin Bufan opened his eyes, he still felt a headache coming on; he had drunk too much the night before.

Just as he was about to raise his head, Lin Bufan felt a soft, smooth hand.

"Small……"

Lin Bufan subconsciously prepared to call out to Xiaobai.

After all, so much time has passed, and every day after filming, the skin is covered in white frost.

But before he could finish speaking, Lin Bufan turned around and discovered that it wasn't Bai Bing at all, but Xue Kaiqi.

is her?

When Lin Bufan saw Xue Kaiqi, some scenes from the previous night still flashed through his mind.
