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

Manchester by the Sea was nominated for five awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.

"Best Director!"

Lin Bufan thought for a moment and then made a decision.

Without a doubt, the Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress awards were immediately passed over.

If Lin Bufan had to choose between Best Director and Best Picture, he would definitely choose Best Director.

First, the public relations costs for Best Picture are definitely higher than those for Best Director. Second, the Oscars are not one of the three major European awards.

The three major European awards are the Palme d'Or, the Golden Lion, and the Golden Bear.

However, at the Academy Awards, the Best Director award is more advantageous to directors than the Best Picture award.

"BOSS, the best PR director is expected to spend $800 million."

Carter did the math and realized that publicizing the Oscars wasn't about bribing the judges, since the Oscars have over two thousand judges.

If you were to bribe them with money, the amount of money needed to win over so many judges would be enormous, and no one would be that foolish.

So-called public relations is nothing more than promoting the film more in the areas where these judges are located to get them to see and pay attention, and holding parties to build relationships, etc.

Moreover, and most importantly, it doesn't mean that if you do public relations, the award is guaranteed to be yours. In the end, you might spend the money but not get the award.

It can only be said that engaging in public relations increases the chances of winning an award compared to not doing so.

"I'm leaving this matter to you."

Lin Bufan nodded slightly. Eight million was nothing. If he could win the Oscar for Best Director, his position in the Chinese entertainment industry would be completely secure.

At that time, no one will hinder me because of my young age or lack of experience.

"Yes, Boss."

Lin Bufan's original plan was to stay in Hollywood to film a movie while preparing for the Oscars, but he promised Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei's due date is approaching, and no one can guarantee when she will give birth. So after everything was settled, Bai Bing was arranged to book a flight back to China.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Daily check-in successful. Rewards: One bottle of Liuwei Emperor Pills (10 pills) + One bottle of Beauty and Nourishing Pills (10 pills) + 100 million RMB]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Weekly check-in successful. Rewards: 1 bottle of Liuwei Emperor Pills (10 pills) + 1 bottle of Beauty and Nourishing Pills (10 pills) + 1 million RMB + Skill Upgrade Scroll Treasure Chest *1 + Song "That Girl"]

On the plane back to China, today happens to be Monday, January 23rd. Lin Bufan is checking in on the plane to start the new week.

"That Girl" is the fourth song Lin Bufan has checked in this month. The previous three were Shin's "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," JJ Lin and Charlene Choi's "Little Dimples," and Jay Chou's "The Promised Happiness."

Compared to the previous songs, "That Girl" was released by Olymer in 2016 and quickly became a hit all over the world.

After more than ten hours of flight, the plane finally landed at Beijing Capital International Airport.

"When I have money in the future, I will definitely buy a private jet."

Lin Bufan stepped off the plane, secretly making up his mind.

In the future, Lin Bufan will inevitably fly to Los Angeles frequently. Even in a spacious first-class cabin, a flight of more than ten hours is not that comfortable.

"Boss, something terrible has happened!"

As soon as they stepped off the plane, before they even entered the airport, Bai Bing's expression suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Bufan stopped and turned to look at Bai Bing.

"Boss, Miss Dong Xuan is here, she's waiting outside the airport."

Bai Bing raised her phone and opened the text message section.

The text message was sent by Dong Xuan to let Lin Bufan know that she was there to pick him up from the airport.

Lin Bufan received this text message from Dong Xuan while he was on the plane, but he didn't receive it until he got off the plane and turned on his phone.

"Come on in, it's no big deal."

Lin Bufan looked completely unconcerned.

Dong Xuan is my woman, and she came to pick me up at the airport. What's the big deal?

"Boss, Miss Wan Qian and Miss Chen Zihan have also arrived."

Bai Bing looked at Lin Bufan with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

My boss is great in every way: he's tall, handsome, talented, and rich. His biggest flaw is that he's a womanizer.

"What? Why are they here too?"

Lin Bufan was taken aback: "Isn't Wan Qian rehearsing a play in Shanghai?"

There was also Chen Zihan. He remembered that before boarding the plane, the two of them spoke on the phone. Chen Zihan told Lin Bufan that it was Chinese New Year in her hometown. Today was the 23rd, and New Year's Eve was on the 28th.

But now, several women have all gathered together, which is really...

So far, none of the women are aware of the existence of the other women.

"Boss, what do we do now?"

Bai Bing looked at Lin Bufan.

"What should I do? I know what to do."

Lin Bufan looked worried. If he went out now and the three women met together, he would definitely be exposed.

"Xiao Bai, it's up to you now."

Lin Bufan's eyes lit up, and he thought of a plan: "You go out first, and when you see them, tell them that I'm taking a plane back. I have some business to take care of at the company, so I'm going straight there."

"this……"

Bai Bing looked helplessly at Lin Bufan: "Boss, what should I say if Miss Dong Xuan, Miss Chen Zihan, and Miss Wan Qian are together?"

What she feared most was that when she went out, the three women would come up and question her together, which would be like admitting her guilt without being asked.

"Xiaobai, I believe in you, you will definitely handle it well."

Lin Bufan looked at Bai Bing seriously and patted her on the shoulder: "After this incident, I'll give you a raise, a 50% raise."

"Okay, I'll give it my best."

Bai Bing felt somewhat helpless. Since the boss had given the order, she could only follow it.

"It's not about doing our best, it's about making sure it's done well."

"Yes, boss!"

Bai Bing took a deep breath and then strode towards the airport.

After entering the airport, I walked towards the exit.

As soon as Bai Bing came out of the exit, he immediately saw Dong Xuan and Wan Qian not far away. The two were from the south and the north respectively, and they had both dressed up. It seemed that they had not run into each other.

As for Chen Zihan, Bai Bing did not see her.

What should we do?

Bai Bing's mind raced. Wan Qian and Dong Xuan had already seen her and were waving at her. If the two of them were to run into her, they wouldn't be stupid; they would definitely guess what was going on.

"Got it!"

Bai Bing's eyes suddenly lit up, so he took out his phone and sent a text message to both Dong Xuan and Wan Qian: "Ms. Wan Qian (Dong Xuan), I'm sorry, I have a bit of a stomachache and need to go to the restroom first. I'll come find you in the parking lot in a bit..."

After sending the text message, Bai Bing jogged towards the bathroom.

When they reached the restroom door, Bai Bing glanced back discreetly. As expected, Wan Qian and Dong Xuan, having received the text message, didn't think much of it and went straight to the parking lot.
