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

"But when people get up and don't see you, they assume you left first!"

Gao Yuanyuan rested her head on Lin Bufan's shoulder and spoke softly.

"fool!"

"I was worried you'd be hungry when you woke up, so I got up early to cook for you!"

"Cooking? Honey, when will you learn to cook?"

Gao Yuanyuan then remembered that she had come by following the aroma, and at the same time, she was also a little curious: Lin Bufan could cook?

Is cooking difficult?

Lin Bufan remained calm. Of course it wasn't difficult. After entering the beginner level, he directly used skill scrolls to reach the master level of cooking skills. It's no exaggeration to say that.

With his current culinary skills, he's not the best in the country, but he's definitely among the top three, and he's proficient in all eight major cuisines.

"By the way, honey, what delicious food did you make?"

Suddenly, hunger struck again, and Gao Yuanyuan realized that she had gotten up to find food.

"Go to the restaurant and wait, it'll be ready soon!"

As Lin Bufan spoke, he pressed Gao Yuanyuan down onto a chair next to the dining table and then turned and walked into the kitchen.

A few minutes later, Lin Bufan untied his apron, looked at the four dishes on the table, and introduced them to Gao Yuanyuan: "Try this dish first, how does it taste!"

"Hmm!"

Gao Yuanyuan picked up her chopsticks, took a bite, and instantly felt a smooth and creamy texture. Her eyes widened in surprise: "Honey, is this crab roe?"

"no!"

Lin Bufan shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "This is the famous 'mock crab' from Shandong cuisine..."

Although the dish "mock crab" is made with eggs, it's not as simple to make as Huang Xiaochu's recipe. Minced ginger is the soul of this dish; whether you add too much or too little, the flavor will completely change.

Only by adding just the right amount can you achieve that crab roe texture and flavor. In addition, to enhance the texture, he also added some boneless cod pieces when beating the eggs.

"The second dish is 'Shrimp with Egg White,' the third is 'Jade Scallops,' the fourth is 'Squirrel Fish'... and the last dish is soup, Wensi Tofu Soup..."

With Lin Bufan's introduction, Gao Yuanyuan felt an overwhelming sense of happiness with each bite, not just from the taste, but also from the sheer joy she felt.

Today marks the first time Lin Bufan has personally cooked a meal since he raised his culinary skills to the master level.

As you have more and more women in your life, you should always put more thought into it. Cooking them a meal on their birthdays will make them happier than buying them any gifts.

…………

The next day, early in the morning, when Gao Yuanyuan opened her eyes, Lin Bufan was no longer by her side. This time, she knew that Lin Bufan must have left.

Filming for "Black Coal, Thin Ice" is scheduled to begin on the 8th, and today is the day he flies to Harbin. Naturally, the director can't arrive on the day filming starts.

However, at this moment, Gao Yuanyuan no longer felt disappointed, because she knew that Lin Bufan loved her.

Especially when she walked down the stairs and saw the breakfast on the table, along with a note left by Lin Bufan that read, "Silly girl, don't forget to eat breakfast. Love you!"

Looking at Lin Bufan's handwriting on the sticky note, Gao Yuanyuan smiled happily.

On the other side, Lin Bufan, accompanied by his personal secretary Zhang Tianai, as well as the film's male lead Liang Jiahui and female lead Li Xiaoran, appeared at the Capital Airport.

The plane was at 10 a.m., and it was still Lin Bufan's private jet. The flight route had been applied for in advance.

"Mr. Lin, it's time!"

Zhang Tianai glanced at the time. The watch on her wrist was the Omega that Lin Bufan had given her, worth 30,000 yuan.

This watch was bought by Lin Bufan for An Yixuan's birthday. It was an Omega worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. He also bought it for his secretary on the side.

As for the purpose, it's self-evident. With such a beautiful secretary by his side, how could he not be tempted?

The total flight time from Beijing to Harbin is only two and a half hours.

After getting off the plane and walking out of the airport, the film crew had already sent people to pick me up.

"Director Lin!"

At the exit, Guo Fan and his men were waiting with signs in hand.

"They're out!"

Upon seeing Lin Bufan, they hurriedly brought people over to pick him up.

Guo Fan, the man who would later kick open the door to domestic science fiction with his novel "The Wandering Earth," applied for a job at Kyoto Entertainment just two months ago, and was discovered by Lin Bufan.

After a thorough investigation, it was indeed the law student who was preparing to switch careers and make movies.

So Lin Bufan took him under his wing and made him his assistant director, intending to hone his skills for a few years before letting him go out and make movies.

There are so many sci-fi movies in the mall, how could Yue possibly film them all by herself?

Let's go!

The production crew had already arranged the hotel, undoubtedly a five-star hotel, and Lin Bufan's was in a suite with two bedrooms and a living room.

The other bedroom was naturally occupied by his personal secretary, Zhang Tianai.

A so-called personal secretary is naturally on call 24/7.

The rest, whether main characters or supporting characters, all stayed in executive suites. Lin Bufan was quite generous in this regard. Staying in a hotel doesn't actually cost much. It's not like it's a presidential suite; it's just an executive suite, costing only eight or nine hundred yuan a day.

Instead of spending a little money on accommodation, it's better to let the actors stay in better conditions so they can be in better shape, which will result in a better final product.

The film "Black Coal, Thin Ice" is still an award-winning film, intended to please the Berlin International Film Festival.

After this movie is finished, Lin Bufan will find a commercial film to shoot so he can relax. Shooting art films all the time is too tiring.

Lin Bufan put a lot of effort into the film "Lust, Caution," otherwise it wouldn't have achieved such success, surpassing the original in both awards and box office.

Moreover, outsiders wouldn't think of the word "pornography" when they hear the name "Lust, Caution".

Besides the change of actors for the male and female leads, the actress playing the female lead's ex-husband, Liang Zhijun, was also replaced in "Black Coal, Thin Ice".

The original role was played by Wang Xuebin, but now Lin Bufan has handed the role over to Liao Fan.

The rest of the cast remained unchanged: the police captain, Xiao Wang, was still played by Yu Ailei; and the owner of Rongrong Laundry was still played by Wang Jingchun.

The role of Su Lijuan, Zhang Zili's ex-wife, is still played by Ni Jingyang. Many people may not be familiar with this name, but if you mention the "Second Palace Master" of Yihua Palace, many people will know her.

Lin Bufan entered the room and quickly put down his luggage. He then said, "Tian'ai, notify everyone in the crew to gather in the conference room."

On the first day the film crew arrived, they rented a conference room at the hotel.
