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

"Ah S, what's wrong?"

Gillian Chung and Lin Bufan hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had to get along.

By the time Lin Bufan left, it was almost noon.

Gillian Chung was hungry and went downstairs to find something to eat. She thought Cai Zhuoyan had already left, but unexpectedly saw her limping downstairs.

"It's nothing, just a sprained ankle!"

Cai Zhuoyan looked up at Gillian Chung, smiled, and then lowered her head. With the latter's help, she sat down at the dining table.

"Ah Jiao, why are you only eating now?"

Cai Zhuoyan looked at the bread and milk in front of Zhong Xintong with some confusion.

She was mainly trying to change the subject.

"Bufan arrived this morning..."

Gillian Chung's face flushed slightly as she offered a soft explanation: "By the way, Bufan said he'd treat you to dinner tonight, so please don't leave yet!"

"what!"

Cai Zhuoyan looked hesitant.

"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well today? Is Prince Ji back?"

Seeing that Cai Zhuoyan seemed hesitant, Zhong Xintong asked with some confusion.

Yesterday morning, Prince Kee told Choi Chung that he had something to do and needed to go to Malaya, and would be back in about three days, so she came to visit Gillian Chung.

"No, no!"

Cai Zhuyan shook her head, then gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, then I won't leave tonight!"

She was afraid of Lin Bufan.

Last night, she was really exhausted.

'He doesn't cherish women who aren't his own at all...' Cai Zhuoyan thought to herself, complaining to Lin Bufan.

However, considering that it already happened yesterday, Lin Bufan probably won't contact me tonight, right?

Seeing that Cai Zhuoyan was acting a little strange, Zhong Xintong didn't think much of it. After all, her best friend was always carefree and sometimes a bit neurotic, and she was already used to it.

"Ah S, where are you going?"

After finishing the meal, Gillian Chung looked at Tsai Chu-yen, who was getting up to leave, and felt somewhat puzzled.

"I'm going out for a bit, something needs to be done!"

As Cai Zhuoyan spoke, she walked towards the door.

"What's wrong? Do you want me to help you? Your foot..." Gillian Chung looked at Ah S's injured foot with some concern.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine!"

Cai Zhuoyan turned around and smiled at Zhong Xintong.

She doesn't actually have a foot injury; as long as she walks slowly, there shouldn't be any major problems.

If she could, she wouldn't want to go out, but she had no choice. She had to buy the emergency contraceptive pills herself within 24 hours; she couldn't very well ask Gillian to buy them for her.

Thinking of this, Cai Zhuoyan was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth. She had told Lin Bufan several times yesterday, but he just ignored her. She couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she could only let it go.

"Why!"

Cai Zhuoyan knew very well that to Lin Bufan, she was at most an "appetizer." She could sense that he had no affection or love for her.

On the way to buy medicine, Cai Zhuoyan kept examining herself, wondering if she really had feelings for Lin Bufan.

"No!"

Ultimately, Cai Zhuyan realized that there was no love between her and Lin Bufan, only lust.

In terms of romance, Prince Ji is no less than Lin Bufan, but there is one major difference between the two: Prince Ji's romance is only with young models.

Ke Lin Bufan's romantic partners were all popular or beautiful female celebrities in the industry.

Prince Ji's body had long since collapsed due to his philandering, so every time he came to her, he could only last three to five minutes at most.

My encounter with Lin Bufan was an accident.

But it was this accident that made her experience that feeling last for several hours.

Having figured this out, Tsai Chu-yen had no more complaints; it was simply a matter of both sides getting what they needed.

……

"Mr. Wang!"

"Mr. Lin!"

Inside the Peninsula Hotel, Lin Bufan met with Wang Weiying, the chairman of the Hong Kong International Film Festival Association.

"please!"

After entering the private room, once the waiter had served all the dishes, only the two of them remained.

"Mr. Wang, everything is ready here. Someone will help you once you arrive in Macau!"

As Lin Bufan spoke, he took out an anonymous stored-value card from the Macau casino, which had a balance of ten million Hong Kong dollars.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

Wang Weiying accepted the bank card with a smile.

The title of Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Hong Kong International Film Festival Association sounds impressive and prestigious, especially since he is in charge of the film festival.

It should have a significant influence on the entertainment industry.

However, the Hong Kong International Film Festival has no appeal whatsoever, not only globally but also within Hong Kong itself.

Now that Lin Bufan is willing to pay money to buy this position, he can't wait to get rid of it.

A price of ten million is not low.

Lin Bufan will need the second half of the year to take over as chairman of the board, but by then, he can already arrange for his people to enter the company.

Lin Bufan had his own considerations regarding the appointment of the board of directors. Once he took over as chairman of the board, he would definitely reorganize the board.

First, there's Shi Nansheng, who was arranged by Lin Bufan to join the board of directors as vice chairman, in charge of the finance and legal departments.

She's one of us, and she's from Hong Kong, so this position is perfect for her.

Regarding the board members, Lin Bufan has only decided on one person so far, namely Chen Kaige.

Lin Bufan is still considering the others. He has already thought of someone, but it remains to be seen whether they will agree.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I know what to do!"

Wang Yingwei looked at Lin Bufan and nodded.

Now that the money has been received, the necessary procedures must be followed.

……

"Director Lin, why didn't you let me know you were coming to Hong Kong? I could have arranged for someone to pick you up..."

When Cheng Long saw Lin Bufan, he walked over laughing.

"I forgot to congratulate Director Lin! The box office is a huge success!"

The movie "2012" has been in theaters for more than 20 days, and its global box office has reached 9.62 million US dollars. Currently, its daily box office is still around 30 million US dollars.

This movie is definitely going to gross over $10 billion.

"2012" is also about to become the third film, after "Titanic" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," to surpass $10 billion at the box office.

Lin Bufan will become the third member of the billion-dollar box office club, following James Cameron and Peter Jackson.

More importantly, the fact that he could be Chinese and achieve this level of success is truly unexpected.

Furthermore, this film further solidified Lin Bufan's reputation as the leading figure in Chinese cinema.

"Big brother!"

When Lin Bufan saw Cheng Long coming over, he warmly went up and hugged him.

Opinions about Jackie Chan vary online, but his ability to break into Hollywood with his kung fu skills is something all stars should learn from, unlike some so-called action stars who take on any role in Hollywood, even a dog.
