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

"Lu Taro? Mr. Lin, what are you referring to?"

The Sina Entertainment reporter looked at Lin Bufan with some confusion.

Although I had some guesses in my mind, I also found it hard to believe. After all, the name "Taro" is too insulting and hurtful for a person, especially a director.

"Oh, don't misunderstand, I'm talking about Lu Chuan."

Lin Bufan had a smile on his lips.

"Mr. Lin, this..."

The Sina Entertainment reporter was bewildered. What did he mean by "Don't misunderstand, I'm talking about Lu Chuan"?

"Everyone has seen what Lu Chuan's directing skills are like. His film 'The Missing Gun' made him famous, but upon closer inspection, you'll find that 'The Missing Gun' is a film with a very strong Jiang Wen style. Rather than saying that Lu Chuan is the director of 'The Missing Gun,' it's more accurate to say that he is Jiang Wen's gunman."

Lin Bufan paused slightly as he spoke, then continued, "And that film 'Kekexili' is truly laughable; it plagiarized a documentary."

"Mr. Lin, legally speaking, this film is not actually found to constitute copyright infringement..."

A reporter from Sina Entertainment whispered a reminder.

"That's because Liu Yujun withdrew the lawsuit in the end. Otherwise, do you really think this movie didn't infringe on any copyrights?"

"Whether it's the plot, the concept, the scenes and camera composition, or even the dialogue, they're almost identical. You say it's not plagiarism? It's just that Lu Chuan has a good father. Otherwise, do you think Liu Yujun would have dropped the lawsuit?"

……

"Mr. Lin, the interview is over. Would you like to make some cuts to the interview content?" The reporter from Sina Entertainment looked cautiously at Lin Bufan.

During the interview just now, Lin Bufan said too many shocking things. If they were actually published, they would definitely cause a sensation in the entertainment industry.

"No need to cut anything out, just publish the interview content verbatim."

Lin Bufan glanced at the entertainment reporter. He was Sina's largest shareholder. Although he didn't manage the company, he still had some influence within Sina.

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

The reporter from Sina Entertainment took a deep breath, feeling a surge of excitement.

If Lin Bufan wasn't afraid, what did he have to be afraid of? He was just a reporter.

"By the way, when will it be available to stream?"

"I'll do some minor editing when I get back, and it should be uploaded online within three hours."

Lin Bufan nodded slightly, watching the Sina Entertainment reporter leave, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Others might give face to Lu Chuan's father, but to Lin Bufan, his father's face meant nothing.

……

"Lu Chuan, weren't you afraid of offending Director Lin with what you just said?"

After the press conference, backstage, Qin Lan looked at Lu Chuan with a worried expression.

"What do I have to be afraid of? Besides, what I said is the truth."

Lu Chuan glanced at Qin Lan, but didn't take it seriously.

Despite the fact that Qin Lan is his girlfriend and that she even funded and helped him with the film "Nanjing! Nanjing!", Lu Chuan doesn't care about Qin Lan at all.

"But……"

Qin Lan looked at the arrogant Lu Chuan and felt a little worried, but she also knew that no matter what she said, he would not believe her.

"Why……"

Qin Lan sighed, hoping that Lin Bufan would be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against Lu Chuan.

After the press conference for the start of filming of "Nanjing! Nanjing!", Lu Chuan prepared to begin shooting.

Just as they were about to start filming, a video suddenly went viral online, even causing a sensation in the entertainment industry.

"Wow, Director Lin is so outspoken! I knew that Lu Chuan was nobody, just a director who plagiarizes and works as a ghostwriter, yet she dares to try and cause trouble for our Director Lin..."

"Director Lin is right, this Lu Chuan, no, he should be called Lu Taro."

"I watched the press conference for the start of filming of 'Nanjing! Nanjing!' Listen to what Lu Taro said. He even said that the soldiers were forced to do it. He's actually whitewashing the invaders. Director Lin is absolutely right to call him Lu Taro."

"What a pity for such a beautiful woman as Qin Lan. Director Lin, I strongly suggest you rescue Qin Lan from Lu Taro's clutches..."

After Sina Entertainment posted the interview video with Lin Bufan on its homepage, it almost instantly went viral across the entire internet and even the entire entertainment industry.

In the interview video with Lin Bufan, only a few points were mentioned.

First, Lu Chuan was called Lu Taro by Lin Bufan because the movie "Nanjing! Nanjing!" was biased and had the wrong stance.

Secondly, Lu Chuan is Jiang Wen's gunman in the movie "Looking for a Gun".

Then there's the plagiarism issue with "Kekexili". In Lin Bufan's interview, it was directly labeled as plagiarism. The main reason the documentary director withdrew the lawsuit was that Lu Chuan's father was directly named by Lin Bufan in the interview.

Finally, Lin Bufan once again mocked Lu Chuan, saying that he was able to make movies because he had a good girlfriend who invested money in his production, and that his girlfriend was Qin Lan.

"Bang..."

On the set of "Nanjing! Nanjing!", Lu Chuan was about to begin filming when she saw this video. Enraged, she smashed the monitor in front of her.

"Lin Bufan, I want you dead..."

Lu Chuan's expression was somewhat ferocious.

Lin Bufan’s words in the interview almost made him seem worthless, but the key point is that everything he said was true.

The film "Looking for a Gun" is more accurately described as directed by Jiang Wen than by him. The entire directing style is Jiang Wen's style. Calling him the gunman would be perfectly accurate.

Secondly, there's the movie "Kekexili". Whether it was plagiarized or not, he knows it perfectly well, and no one knows it better than him.

However, he was unhappy that Lin Bufan called him Lu Taro.

He had spent several years polishing the script for the movie "Nanjing! Nanjing!", and he was genuinely indignant that Lin Bufan had criticized it so harshly.

Are you alright?

Hearing the noise, Qin Lan rushed in and stood in front of Lu Chuan, looking at him with concern.

"Snapped!"

However, to Qin Lan's surprise, her concern was met with a slap in the face.

"you……"

Qin Lan covered her face, looking at Lu Chuan in disbelief.

"You bitch, I should have guessed long ago that you were having an affair with Lin Bufan, otherwise how would he know my script, you filthy bitch..." Lu Chuan looked at Qin Lan with a ferocious expression.

Recalling Qin Lan's words and Lin Bufan's praise of Qin Lan during the interview, he felt like he was being cuckolded.

Although he had never thought about marrying her, he absolutely could not let Qin Lan cheat on him.

"Lu Chuan, you've gone too far!"

Hearing the insults in Lu Chuan's words, Qin Lan covered her face and ran away.
