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

"President Cai, if Tangren wants to invest in 'The Myth,' it would be best if Kyoto took control of Tangren."

Lin Bufan picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and then looked at Cai Yinong, speaking in a nonchalant manner.

He knew very well that Cai Yinong wanted to hitch a ride on Kyoto's coattails. Fine, but only if you show some sincerity.

What sincerity?

That is Kyoto Holdings Tangren.

"President Lin..."

Cai Yinong's expression changed drastically.

On the surface, Cai Yinong is very active in the industry, and even those who are unaware of the situation think that she is the largest shareholder of Tangren Media.

In reality, Tangren's largest shareholder is under her husband's name.

Of course, the couple has absolute control over Tangren Media, and there is no distinction between "yours" and "mine." To put it bluntly, even if she divorces her husband, the shares in Tangren Media will still be at least 50/50.

Even so, she would absolutely not agree.

If Kyoto acquires a controlling stake in Tangren Media, will Tangren Media still belong to her?

"President Cai, please don't be so quick to refuse."

Lin Bufan interrupted Cai Yinong: "Of course, as long as Kyoto Holdings holds Tangren, I can promise President Cai that unless you and your husband make a major decision-making error, neither I nor Kyoto will interfere in Tangren's internal affairs."

"President Lin, what do you mean by the major decision-making error you mentioned?"

Cai Yinong took a deep breath, knowing that Tangren couldn't afford to offend Kyoto, and she couldn't afford to offend Lin Bufan either. At the same time, she was also curious about what Lin Bufan meant.

"For example, if Tangren suffers losses exceeding a certain amount due to the actions of the two of you, this would be considered a major decision-making error. As for the specific amount, we can discuss it further if President Cai agrees." Lin Bufan looked at Cai Yinong with a relaxed expression.

Since he has the upper hand, he doesn't care. It would be best if he could get a stake, but even if he can't, it won't affect Kyoto or him much.

"I will consider Mr. Lin's terms when I get back."

Cai Yinong took a deep breath and did not immediately refuse on the spot.

"Mr. Cai's idea is simply to let Tangren enter the film industry. If Tangren agrees to let Kyoto hold the controlling stake, I can promise you that Tangren can invest in three of the film projects that Kyoto produces each year." Lin Bufan looked at Cai Yinong and continued to offer his conditions.

In the entertainment industry, trying to monopolize everything is a short-term strategy, not a matter of cost or profit, but a matter of connections.

Two fists can't fight four hands. If Kyoto Entertainment continues to monopolize the market, other entertainment companies might band together to boycott it.

If that's the case, Kyoto Entertainment may have good scripts, but without actors, it can't produce good movies and TV series.

A movie or a TV series cannot be made just by having male and female leads. There are so many extras and second- or third-tier actors that need to be found from outside sources.

If they ruin their career in the entertainment industry, and other entertainment companies boycott them, which second- or third-tier actor would dare to take on a role in a Kyoto Entertainment production?

It's impossible for Kyoto Entertainment to sign a whole batch of actors for every TV series they produce. If that were the case, even with all the resources Kyoto has, they couldn't support so many people.

Since we can't eat it all by ourselves, what difference does it make who we share it with?

Tangren Media holds a certain status within the industry. Although it cannot compare to industry giants like Enlight Media and Bona Film Group, it still has a very deep network and seniority in the television drama industry.

This offer was very tempting for Cai Yinong, but the thought of Kyoto controlling Tangren made her somewhat unwilling.

Lin Bufan enjoyed his dinner very much. Hu Ge had been confirmed as the male lead for "The Myth," and the delicate Liu Shishi was also by his side.

Unfortunately, there was nothing Lin Bufan could do at their first meeting.

……

"Shishi, I see you have Mr. Lin's phone number with you?"

On the way back, Cai Yinong called Liu Shishi into his car and looked at her intently.

"Um!"

Liu Shishi nodded, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"I can tell that President Lin is very interested in you. You can talk to President Lin more often when you have free time," Cai Yinong said to Liu Shishi in a tactful way.

"I understand, Sister K."

Liu Shishi nodded.

In the entertainment circle, everyone knows that Lin Bufan is a playboy with countless female stars who have been romantically linked to him, and some of them even have children with him.

Just a few days ago, Dong Xuan gave birth to his child, but the online arguments have been going on for days.

Even so, after meeting Lin Bufan, Liu Shishi had to admit that she was attracted by Lin Bufan's humorous and witty conversation.

In addition, Lin Bufan is really handsome, the kind of handsome that's extremely handsome.

Men like beautiful women, and beautiful women like handsome men. If the handsome man is also talented and rich, that's an even bigger plus.

As for Lin Bufan having many scandals, so what?

He's not married, and he has so many girlfriends. It's not his fault. Even if they have children, so what? It's still because those women want them.

Anyway, that's what Liu Shishi thought.

Looking at the innocent-looking Liu Shishi, Cai Yinong sighed inwardly, "Shishi, don't blame Sister K, I'm doing this for your own good. You'll understand in the future how important it is to have a powerful backer in the entertainment industry..."

……

In Kyoto, Lin Bufan had no time to pay attention to whether Tangren agreed to Kyoto Holdings, because today, Wang from Enlight Media, Yu from Bona Film Group, Wu from Orange Sky Entertainment, and Han Sanping, who had just become the chairman of China Film Group, visited Kyoto Entertainment together.

"Boss, Chairman Han and the others have been arranged to stay in the meeting room."

As soon as Lin Bufan entered the company, Bai Bing hurriedly came over.

They arrived together early in the morning without notifying Lin Bufan beforehand. He only rushed over after receiving a call from Bai Bing.

"Go brew a pot of good tea!"

Lin Bufan casually gave an order, then pushed open the door to the reception room.

"Chairman Han, why didn't you give us a heads-up before you came?"

Entering the reception room, Lin Bufan looked at Han Sanping and the others with a somewhat helpless expression.

"With someone as busy as you, Mr. Lin, it would be difficult to see you if I gave you advance notice," Old Wang teased Lin Bufan with a smile.

"Boss!"

Amidst laughter and conversation, Bai Bing, accompanied by several secretaries from the secretariat, entered carrying a tea tray and placed it on the table.

After some casual conversation, we got down to business.

"Bu Fan, I've just taken over as chairman of China Film Group, so you know that." Han Sanping looked at Lin Bu Fan and subtly reminded him.

"Chairman Han, it's my fault!"

Lin Bufan slapped his forehead and looked at Han Sanping: "Even if you hadn't come today, I was planning to go to China Film Group. I reserved 30% of the share for 'How Long Will I Love U' for them."

China Film Group is an indispensable part of the mainland film and television industry, and Lin Bufan has a company in Hollywood. The share of importing Hollywood blockbusters is in the hands of China Film Group, namely Han Sanping.
