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

"Mr. Lin, your affair with Ms. Li Xiaoran is making headlines!"

The next day, Lin Bufan had just gotten up to have breakfast when Zhang Tianai accompanied him.

As for Lin Chih-ling, unsurprisingly, she's catching up on sleep in her room.

"Should we take care of it?"

"Ignore it!"

Lin Bufan waved his hand.

His scandals make headlines every now and then, but he doesn't care anymore.

If one day, Lin Bufan's scandals don't make headlines for more than a month, it means he's not in the country.

However, that's not entirely true.

Even if Lin Bufan goes abroad, some domestic media outlets will send reporters to follow him.

For example, his past rumors with Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson both appeared on Chinese websites in this way.

As for whether it will affect the woman?

Lin Bufan believed that as long as the woman wasn't stupid, she wouldn't refuse.

It's no exaggeration to say that for many female celebrities, being able to have a rumored relationship with Lin Bufan is almost equivalent to filming a blockbuster movie with S-level resources.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

After Liang Jiahui recovered from his fever, he returned to the film crew.

In the movie "Black Coal, Thin Ice," all the other shots had been filmed except for the last one, which is also the most classic shot.

It's a picture of Zhang Zili dancing alone in a dance studio.

This segment is also accompanied by the song "Mohe Dance Hall".

It's safe to say that this scene, combined with the background music from the Mohe dance hall, is a divine combination.

In later generations, any short video clip about "Black Coal, Thin Ice" would inevitably include this scene.

"Brother Hui, are you sure you're alright?"

In the film crew, Lin Bufan looked at Tony Leung Ka-fai again to confirm.

The deadline for submitting entries to the Berlin International Film Festival is at the end of the month, so there are still about twenty days left.

"I'm sure, Director!"

Liang Jiahui took a deep breath and said with a serious expression.

"Okay, let's film it once first, just to go through the motions!"

Since Liang Jiahui had said so, Lin Bufan couldn't very well refuse.

However, it is clear that this classic shot was not so easy to capture.

Liao Fan's acting skills in later generations were able to deliver such a brilliant performance, which was not without luck.

"Click!"

"I hereby announce that filming for 'Black Coal, Thin Ice' is now complete!!!"

Lin Bufan sat behind the monitor, watching Liang Jiahui's brilliant acting, and shouted loudly while holding a walkie-talkie.

"yeah!"

This scene was quite grueling for both the crew and the actors.

The main difference lies in the extremely cold environment.

Of course, it's not without its advantages.

The good thing is that almost everyone in the crew, except for Lin Bufan, has gained weight, some as much as ten or twenty pounds, and others as little as seven or eight pounds.

The stewed goose in the iron pot was so delicious, as were the chicken stew with hazel mushrooms, sweet and sour pork, stewed pork with pork belly, and stir-fried potatoes, green peppers, and eggplant, among other dishes.

It's a pity that there are no longer any legal wild game products available.

……

"Brother Hui, are you going straight back to Hong Kong, or to Beijing?"

Lin Bufan looked at Liang Jiahui.

"Director, is something wrong?"

Liang Jiahui immediately understood the meaning behind Lin Bufan's words.

"There's a movie/TV series, I wonder if Brother Hui would be interested?"

As Lin Bufan spoke, he smiled and looked at Liang Jiahui: "He's the male lead in a Hollywood series."

"Really, director?"

Liang Jiahui immediately stared wide-eyed at Lin Bufan.

Hollywood movies, let alone the lead role in a series, even a supporting role, are highly coveted resources for domestic film stars.

"Of course, Brother Hui, are you interested?"

"Director, I'll act!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Liang Jiahui immediately agreed, even though he hadn't seen the script yet.

Are you kidding me? Those are Hollywood resources.

"Okay, Brother Hui..."

Lin Bufan calculated the time, then looked at Liang Jiahui: "Come to Beijing to find me on the 20th."

Today is December 11th, and tomorrow, the 12th, "The Warlords" will be released, kicking off the Lunar New Year film season.

Similarly, Kyoto Entertainment also releases movies.

……

After returning to Beijing, Lin Bufan devoted himself entirely to editing the film "Black Coal, Thin Ice".

There are less than 20 days left until the end of the month.

Although Lin Bufan still had plenty of time, the sooner he finished editing the film, the more things he would have to do next.

Lin Bufan returned to Beijing on the 12th and stayed at the company until the 19th.

I've been editing movies in the editing room the whole time and have hardly ever gone out.

Finally, on the afternoon of the 19th, Lin Bufan finished editing the movie.

After editing, Lin Bufan watched it carefully several times, polishing a few details, until 9 p.m. when it was finally finished.

"call……"

Lin Bufan breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought it would only take five or six days to finish editing, but it took eight days to complete.

"Tian'ai, is there anything to eat?"

Lin Bufan walked out of the editing room and saw Zhang Tianai at the door.

As Lin Bufan's personal secretary, she naturally goes wherever Lin Bufan is.

These past few days, Lin Bufan has been engrossed in editing the film, and Zhang Tianai has been taking care of him in all aspects of his daily life, except for not coming into the editing room to bother him.

"Mr. Lin, the food has arrived. I'll go heat it up!"

Zhang Tianai hurriedly got up.

A few minutes later, Zhang Tianai placed a boxed lunch that had been heated in the microwave and a bottle of drink on the table in front of Lin Bufan.

"This place makes good boxed lunches. I'll order from here for the office from now on!"

Lin Bufan ate his boxed lunch, and he didn't know if it was because he was too hungry, but he just felt that it was delicious.

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

Zhang Tianai nodded slightly.

How could it not be delicious? Lin Bufan's business lunch costs five hundred yuan a serving. The ingredients are one aspect, but the main reason is the chef's skill. He is said to be a national second-level chef, which would be equivalent to an executive chef in a typical three-star hotel.

"Mr. Lin, the bathwater is ready. You can take a bath and relax..."

After Lin Bufan finished eating, Zhang Tianai spoke as she went to clean up the lunchbox.

"good!"

Lin Bufan got up and walked towards the restroom in the lounge.

The Kyoto Building has 35 floors. After later modifications, all 35 floors were converted into the chairman's office.

Apart from the secretariat and reception room, the entire floor only has one huge office belonging to Lin Bufan.

The luxurious decoration is one aspect; the office itself is nearly 500 square meters in size, and behind the office is a lounge of more than 200 square meters.

There is a restroom in the lounge with a huge bathtub. The bathtub is right next to a floor-to-ceiling window, but the glass is one-way, so you can only look out from the inside and not see in from the outside.
