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

"President Lin!"

"The hotel is nicely decorated!"

The next day, Lin Bufan arrived at the company, where Zhang Tianai was already waiting at the door.

"Mr. Lin, this is what I should do!"

Zhang Tianai responded modestly, saying that she had actually consulted Bai Bing for advice on the hotel setup yesterday.

"Here, take this watch as a reward!"

Lin Bufan casually pulled out a watch and tossed it to Zhang Tianai.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

After watching Lin Bufan enter the office, Zhang Tianai approached Bai Bing: "Sister Bai, thank you so much for everything yesterday!"

"It's nothing!"

As Bai Bing spoke, his gaze fell upon the watch on Zhang Tianai's wrist.

"Sister Bai, this is a reward from President Lin for me today!"

Zhang Tianai raised her wrist, a happy look on her face.

"Then you'd better keep it safe!"

Bai Bing looked Zhang Tianai up and down, then said something meaningful before going about her business.

It all started with her accepting gifts from her boss, and gradually it has progressed to where it is now...

Her current position as secretary is actually just a transitional one. Lin Bufan talked to her and said that after a while, when the time is right, he will transfer her to Zhewei Capital.

Zhewei Capital is now developing rapidly. Lin Bufan has stepped down as general manager of Zhewei Capital, and Xu Hongfei has taken over the position of general manager, taking full responsibility for all of the company's investment projects.

With increased power comes greater risks for Lin Bufan.

Therefore, Lin Bufan had already conceived the idea of ​​establishing a risk control department, and Bai Bing's next step was to go to Zhewei Capital to serve as the director of the risk control department.

Simply put, the goal is to place a trusted eye within Zhewei Capital, and Bai Bing is clearly a perfect fit for the position.

The risk control department is only responsible to Lin Bufan and does not interfere with the company's affairs. Its role is to monitor projects to prevent Xu Hongfei from engaging in any underhanded practices or embezzling funds.

Thinking of this, Bai Bing had a sudden thought. It seemed that she was teaching Zhang Tianai, but in reality, she was also building a good relationship with Zhang Tianai.

Although she was promoted and publicly claimed that the title of "Risk Control Director" was more prestigious and prestigious than that of a secretary, one should not forget that Zhewei Capital's existence was dependent on Lin Bufan.

Zhang Tian'ai is now the boss's personal secretary, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she will be his bedmate in the future. Of course, the only way to win her over is to get close to her.

……

"President Lin, Director Zhang Xiaoguang is here!"

Not long after, Zhang Tianai knocked on the door and went in to report to Lin Bufan.

"Bring him in!"

Lin Bufan put down his pen; he was still planning the script for "Black Coal, Thin Ice".

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

Soon, Zhang Tian'ai brought Zhang Xiaoguang in.

"President Lin!"

"sit!"

Lin Bufan got up, walked out from behind the table, sat on the sofa, and looked at Zhang Xiaoguang.

"President Lin, the production team for 'Struggle' is all set. Here is the complete cast list, please take a look..."

As Zhang Xiaoguang spoke, he handed a list of actors to Lin Bufan.

The most important characters in the movie "Struggle" are the six main actors: Lu Tao, Xia Lin, Xiang Nan, Yang Xiaoyun, Mi Lai, and Hua Zi.

The original version of "Struggle" starred Tong Dawei as Lu Tao, Ma Yili as Xia Lin, Wen Zhang as Xiang Nan, Li Xiaolu as Yang Xiaoyun, Wang Luodan as Mi Lai, and Zhu Yuchen as Hua Zi.

But this was Zhao Baogang's choice, not Zhang Xiaoguang's.

In the list handed over by Zhang Xiaoguang, the choice to play the role of Lu Tao became Sun Yiyi. Since Sun Yiyi won the Best Newcomer Award at the Venice International Film Festival, he has become a hot newcomer in the industry. In addition, he is also an artist of the company, so he became the first choice.

Lin Bufan approved of the casting, as Lu Tao had the traits of a scumbag, making it quite reasonable for Sun Yiyi to play the role.

The role of Xia Lin has been played by Deng Jiajia, who is also a newcomer in the industry and a newly signed artist. Taking on the lead role is considered a high starting point.

Actually, Zhang Xiaoguang's initial target was Wan Qian, but Wan Qian herself had become financially independent after following Lin Bufan, and she had strict requirements for TV series and movies. It wasn't that she wouldn't act anymore, but that she wouldn't act if there wasn't a good script or a good role.

Clearly, Wan Qian didn't think Xia Lin was a good role, so Zhang Xiaoguang had no choice but to turn his attention to Deng Jiajia.

Subsequently, on Sun Yiyi's recommendation and after an audition, Li Jiahang got the role of Xiang Nan, and Lei Jiayin got the role of Hua Zi.

The character Yang Xiaoyun has changed from "Boss Sister" to Liu Yun. Li Xiaolu is still with Huayi Brothers, so it's natural that the Kyoto project wouldn't choose an artist from Huayi Brothers.

Although Liu Yun is from Changsha, her bright, expressive eyes and quirky appearance are quite fitting for the role of Yang Xiaoyun.

Mi Lai is played by Sun Feifei. Although she has acted in several TV series, she is still considered a newcomer in the current entertainment industry.

"Recast the role of Mi Lai!"

Lin Bufan looked at the list, remained silent for a moment, and then made a decision.

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

Zhang Xiaoguang agreed without the slightest hesitation.

He knew very well who was in charge, and even from a director's professional perspective, the character of Mi Lai wasn't the most important, so there was no need to adhere to so-called professional principles.

"Let me make a call!"

As Lin Bufan spoke, he picked up his phone, recalled a number in his mind, and then dialed it.

……

"Ake, do you have any film or television productions scheduled lately?"

Inside a Korean BBQ restaurant near the Beijing Film Academy, Wang Luodan flipped the meat on the grill while glancing at Zhao Ke across from her.

At that time, both of them were relatively unknown in the entertainment industry, and since they were classmates, they had always had a good relationship.

The name Zhao Ke might not sound familiar, but if you mention Liu Ruyu, Fan Xian's protective aunt in "Joy of Life," many people will recognize her.

"No!"

Zhao Ke shook her head. She was a nobody, and the roles she played were all very ordinary, so naturally no one asked her to act.

"Oh, I..."

As Wang Luodan was speaking, a phone suddenly rang.

"Feed?"

Seeing the unfamiliar number, Wang Luodan answered the phone.

"It's me!"

On the phone came a name that was both unfamiliar and familiar. It was unfamiliar because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, but familiar because they had once had the most intimate relationship.

"you……"

Wang Luodan's voice trembled slightly.

"I have a TV series coming up, and there's a role for her. It's the fourth female lead, but the character is outstanding. If played well, it could be just as good as the lead actress. Are you interested?"

Lin Bufan's voice came through the phone.
