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

"Director Lin..."

Just then, Xue Kaiqi opened her eyes, looked at Lin Bufan who had already woken up, and blushed.

"Last night was an accident. I'll compensate you for any resources I may have in the future."

He had just recalled what happened last night; because he had drunk too much, Xue Kaiqi took advantage of him.

"Director Lin, I..."

"Alright, that's enough."

Lin Bufan interrupted Xue Kaiqi directly.

Xue Kaiqi is indeed beautiful and has a great figure, but Lin Bufan had heard about her private life in later generations.

One accident is enough.

"I won't give up..."

Watching Lin Bufan's departing figure, Xue Kaiqi secretly made a vow in her heart.

Last night, she used some tricks, thinking that after they had sex, Lin Bufan would treat her differently, but she didn't expect that this man would not care about feelings at all.

However, Xue Kaiqi will not give up.

……

After the wrap party for "Lust, Caution", Lin Bufan devoted all his energy to editing the film.

The Venice International Film Festival is held annually from the end of August to the beginning of September, but the deadline for registration is June 1st.

The nominations are usually announced in July.

Lin Bufan finally finished editing the film "Lust, Caution" on April 26th.

After the film was edited, Lin Bufan watched it carefully more than three times.

His version of "Lust, Caution" is very different from Li An's version of "Lust, Caution".

His film "Lust, Caution" is not much different in terms of plot, but in terms of details, Lin Bufan wanted to show more of a test of human nature.

In terms of the expression of 'color', there are actually not many.

Even those three scenes, although they were very explicit during filming, were heavily edited by Lin Bufan before release, resulting in a hazy, ambiguous version that was not as unrestrained as the original.

Lin Bufan believes that this kind of ambiguity and ambiguity will arouse more public discussion. If it were like the original version, everyone would focus on those three scenes, and how would they explore the depth of the movie's plot?

Lin Bufan was the same; before his rebirth, he also searched for the uncut version of "Lust, Caution" online, focusing almost entirely on the three scenes.

As for the rest of the plot, I basically fast-forwarded through it, or even skipped through the entire episode.

Watching the original "Lust, Caution" is almost like watching a film made by a small island nation.

After editing, Lin Bufan immediately sent someone to register.

……

After submitting "Lust, Caution" to Venice for registration, Lin Bufan finally had some free time.

There wasn't anything too important for him to handle at the company; the movie he was filming was still in progress.

Next, there's only one thing to do in May: the second season of "The Voice of China" is about to start.

Since the end of the first season of The Voice, the top four contestants have all signed with Kyoraku Culture Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Kyoto Group.

With the addition of some songs provided by Lin Bufan, these contestants can now be considered emerging singers in the music scene.

These examples have led to a surge in the number of people signing up for the competition.

It's easy to imagine that the second season will garner more attention than the first.

Even the sponsorship fee has been raised to 1.8 million, and that's not the final price.

The platform that broadcast the program was still Shanghai TV, although Beijing TV had also approached him.

After all, such a popular program would boost the ratings of any TV station, no matter which station it's on.

Ultimately, Shanghai TV was well-funded and willing to share a portion of the GG fee, so the program was ultimately broadcast on Shanghai TV.

The four mentors for The Voice of China remain unchanged: Liu Huan, Wang Fei, Yu Chengqing, and Han Hong.

……

Before we knew it, it was April 30th.

Tomorrow is May 1st, the day "Painted Skin" will be released, and today is the premiere of "Painted Skin".

For this film, Tsui Hark personally flew to Hollywood to keep a close eye on the special effects of "Painted Skin," fearing that any problems might arise.

The final cut is arguably the version that Tsui Hark is most satisfied with.

The director of "Painted Skin" is Tsui Hark, who can be considered a director from the Hong Kong film circle. On the day of the premiere, many directors and stars from the Hong Kong film circle came.

"Director Xu!"

Directors from the Hong Kong entertainment circle, including Johnnie To, Raymond Lam, Chan Mok-sang, Ching Siu-tung, and Wong Jing, were all present.

Besides the director, almost all the actors from the Hong Kong film industry were present. Over the years, Tsui Hark has made many classic films and worked with many stars.

Cheng Long, Leung Chiu-wai, Leung Ka-fai, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Lai Ming, Donnie Yen, Ng Chun-yu, Lau Ching-wan, Ng Man-tat, Louis Koo, Cheung Ka-fai, Cheng Yee-kin, Lau Ka-ling, Nicholas Tse, and many others were present.

Besides those from Hong Kong, some well-known mainland directors, such as Zhang Yimou, also attended. After all, Xu Ke's status is undeniable, unless there's a specific reason for his presence.

Otherwise, almost everyone who receives an invitation will attend.

The same goes for mainland celebrities. Even if they weren't invited, they would still try to sneak in, let alone if Xu Ke and Kyoto Entertainment extended an invitation.

The premiere of "Painted Skin" was attended by so many big names and directors; if you were chosen, it would be a meteoric rise to fame.

"Sissi, why hasn't your man arrived yet?"

The movie "Painted Skin" stars Liu Yifei, who shares the lead role with Zhou Xun, and their screen time is also roughly the same.

Shu Chang arrived early in the morning with Liu Yifei.

"It'll probably be soon!"

Liu Yifei glanced at the time and said casually.

She wasn't worried at all. She had already told Lin Bufan about the premiere, and Lin Bufan had promised that he would definitely come.

Lin Bufan never broke his promises to her.

……

Meanwhile, Lin Bufan, whom Shu Chang was talking about, was speeding down the road in his Land Rover.

He practically slammed the accelerator into the gas tank; a speeding ticket is inevitable today.

Fortunately, the road conditions were pretty good today, with no major traffic jams.

Last night, Lin Bufan was at Gao Yuanyuan's villa in Ziyu Mountain Villa.

Gao Yuanyuan knew Lin Bufan's preferences well, and last night she specially dressed up as Liu Sheng Piaoxu to give Lin Bufan a buff that increased his attack speed.

Before I knew it, I was playing quite late.

"Thank goodness, I made it in time!"

Lin Bufan drove fast all the way and finally arrived at the Kyoto Theater before 9:30.

At this moment, a long red carpet had been laid out outside the Kyoto Theater, but Lin Bufan did not walk on the red carpet, but entered directly through the side door.
