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

Jiang Qinqin stayed by Lin Bufan's side until they had finished talking about everything, and then she looked at Lin Bufan with some curiosity.

"How big is the siheyuan? Why do you want to build a small courtyard inside?" Jiang Qinqin was genuinely curious.

"It covers an area of ​​about eighteen acres!"

Lin Bufan spoke in a calm tone.

This is the courtyard house we signed in at, plus the two we just bought, and that's the total price.

Actually, according to his plan, if the courtyard house next door were for sale, he would also like to buy it. As for whether to sell it or not, he would have to let the real estate agent handle the communication.

The renovation company will take at least six months to produce the blueprints and start construction. If we can reach an agreement within six months, we can start construction together.

If that's not possible, then buy it first, and then gradually expand the main house.

"So big..."

Jiang Qinqin was surprised. The Prince Gong's Mansion only occupied 108 acres, which was exactly one-sixth the size of the Prince Gong's Mansion.

This is the capital city, a place where land is incredibly valuable. To own such a large residence is truly a luxury.

No wonder they require all women to live together...

At this moment, Jiang Qinqin also realized that if she were Lin Bufan, she would have done the same.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm going back to sleep!"

After lunch, Jiang Qinqin was extremely tired, so Lin Bufan arranged for someone to take her home.

……

"Boss!"

As soon as Lin Bufan parked his car in the underground garage, Zhang Tianai was already waiting next to him in his designated parking space.

"Yesterday's premiere of 'Emperor Yongle' achieved a viewership rating of 6.92%!"

This viewership rating was within Lin Bufan's expectations.

As long as the previous installment of the "Ming Dynasty" series doesn't fall apart and maintains its quality, the premiere of the next installment shouldn't be too bad.

This is the advantage of a "series," whether it's a TV series or a movie.

"Boss, the purchasing managers from all the major TV stations are here. Would you like to go take a look?"

Zhang Tianai followed Lin Bufan and asked.

"No need, let Lao Kang handle it himself!"

Lin Bufan waved his hand slightly.

The TV drama production department has been separated from the group. This TV drama is a self-produced drama by Beijing TV Culture, and its finances are not shared with the group.

This is also for the sake of future listing, so he doesn't need to show up.

"Okay, boss!"

Zhang Tianai nodded and wrote it down.

"Notify the entire screenwriting department to assemble in the conference room on the top floor!"

"Yes, boss!"

Lin Bufan took his private elevator to his office on the top floor.

He hasn't been idle these past two days; he's been thinking about something.

He wondered if the success of Avatar was due to the film's plot.

He carefully recalled the plot of Avatar. In fact, the plot of this movie, to put it bluntly, is still the old formula of Hollywood movies.

If you break it down carefully, you'll find that the story of Avatar is actually quite hollow, which explains why it was able to achieve such box office success.

The biggest reason is the sensory experience of that immersive experience.

To put it bluntly, without the 3D effects, Avatar might not have achieved much success based on its storyline alone, even if it was directed by a truck driver.

If that's the case, why should he have the scriptwriting department scrutinize the plot so meticulously?

For 3D movies like this, if the plot is too complicated, it will actually affect the immersive experience of 3D.

However, it won't work if there's no plot; otherwise, it's just about watching special effects.

In that case, a plot is definitely necessary, but it should be kept as simple as possible, and the plot should be logically consistent.

"technology……"

Ultimately, the only breakthrough point for making a movie that is no worse than Avatar, or even better, lies in technology.

Soon, following Lin Bufan's instructions, the entire screenwriting department, with over a hundred screenwriters, flooded into the meeting room.

"Alright, everyone, please have a seat!"

Lin Bufan nodded slightly to everyone, then turned to Zhang Tian'ai beside him: "Bring everyone coffee!"

"Yes, boss!"

Zhang Tianai turned and left.

During this period, in order to meet Lin Bufan's demands, these screenwriters have hardly gone home for the past few days, and sometimes they even argue over the plot.

"I know everyone has put in a lot of effort during this time, but there's something I need to discuss with you all!"

Lin Bufan looked at everyone and slowly said, "First of all, regarding the script, I've decided to scrap it and start over..."

"Start over? Mr. Lin, is there a problem with the script?"

"Yes! Give us a few more days, and we'll definitely be able to finish the script."

"President Lin..."

The screenwriters below eagerly began to speak.

"stop!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Bufan raised his hand and looked at everyone: "I know you all want what's best for the movie. I've seen how hard you've all worked lately, but we really don't need these people anymore when it comes to the script."

Before the screenwriters could speak, Lin Bufan continued, "Now I announce that everyone has been working hard to finish the script, so Tian'ai has informed the finance department that everyone will receive a bonus of 10,000 yuan."

"Yes, boss!"

Zhang Tianai hurriedly took out her notebook and wrote it down.

Upon hearing about the bonus, everyone's mood calmed down.

Often, money can solve everything. People just feel that they've worked so hard for so long, and then the project just stops like that. There has to be some explanation.

Therefore, Lin Bufan announced that everyone would receive a bonus of 10,000 yuan.

To earn a bonus of 10,000 yuan after only a few days of work—not to mention in 2008, even in later years, this bonus would be considered substantial.

"The writers of the three groups working on 'The Hunger Games,' 'Final Destination,' and 'Taken' can leave now."

As Lin Bufan's voice rang out, the screenwriters from the three groups stood up and left the meeting room to return to their respective group offices to discuss the film's plot.

The three groups left, and the venue was instantly one-third empty.

"Next, I will set up a temporary screenwriting team. Everyone can sign up on their own. The number of people required is not large, just 12 people will be enough!" As soon as Lin Bufan finished speaking, almost all the screenwriters present raised their hands at the same time.

Everyone wasn't stupid; it was obvious that Lin Bufan still wanted to discuss the movie plot. How could they possibly miss such a good opportunity to win the prize money?

"Su Mo, choose 12 people to stay!"

Lin Bufan glanced at everyone. With so many people eagerly signing up, he directly handed over the authority to Su Mo, since he was the manager of the screenwriting department.
