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

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Daily check-in successful. You have received the following rewards: 100 million US dollars, 100 points, and one Energy Pill.]

On the private jet, Lin Bufan checked in.

As usual, Lin Bufan put the Energy Pill directly into a box and then placed it into the dimensional space.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in for the festival and received a reward: a Rain Water Festival Gift Pack]

"Is today the Rain Water solar term...?"

If it weren't for the system reminder, Lin Bufan wouldn't have known that there was a holiday today.

"I wonder what I'll get from this holiday gift pack."

[Ding, host, would you like to open the Rain Water Festival gift pack?]

【whether】

"System, open!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have opened the Rain Water Festival Gift Pack and received the reward: Embedded Touch Technology]

"Embedded touch technology?"

Lin Bufan was slightly taken aback when he heard the name. He recognized each character, but the way they were put together left him a little confused.

"system……"

Just as Lin Bufan was about to ask a question, the system transmitted a message to his mind.

"So it was about smartphones..."

After absorbing the information transmitted by the system, Lin Bufan finally understood what this technology was used for.

Simply put, apart from mainland China, other parts of the world have already entered the era of smartphones. In mainland China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will issue a document in January 2009.

It can be said that smartphones are an inevitable trend.

Especially for someone like Lin Bufan, who has been reborn, it is clear how big the smartphone market will be in the future.

The most important feature of smartphones is that they are touch-sensitive. Currently, smartphones, including those from Apple, all use touchscreens.

These touchscreens are very expensive and prone to damage.

Especially for ordinary people, they spend a lot of money to buy a smartphone, but then the touch screen breaks by accident, and they have to spend a lot of money to replace it.

It wasn't until 12 years later that the iPhone 5 debuted with embedded touch technology. This technology not only reduced manufacturing costs but also allowed for the elimination of the bulky touchscreen, making the device thinner and lighter.

This embedded technology, even Apple didn't release until 12, and it was applied to the iPhone 5.

However, Lin Bufan has already obtained the technology, overcome all the technical difficulties, and even in terms of manufacturing, there are not many problems.

"With this technology, there's a huge potential in the smartphone industry in the future..."

Lin Bufan doesn't understand smartphones. He doesn't know what kind of technology he signed up for, or how to make good use of it.

The company earns billions of US dollars annually just from "renting" from mobile phone manufacturers worldwide.

……

"Click, let's take a break!"

At the filming location of "The Hunger Games" in North Carolina, the director yelled "Cut!" and Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief. The filming process just now was exceptionally difficult.

"Sister Sisi, look who's here!"

Just as Liu Yifei was about to rest, she suddenly saw her assistant appear before her with Lin Bufan.

"Honey, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing Lin Bufan suddenly appear, Liu Yifei was first surprised, and then overjoyed.

The next second, he pounced directly on Lin Bufan.

"Just came to see you!"

Lin Bufan hugged Liu Yifei tightly, about to speak, when he suddenly noticed the bruises on her shoulder and frowned: "Qianqian, what happened?"

"It was during filming, I just bumped into it by accident..." Liu Yifei stuck out her tongue and glanced cautiously at Lin Bufan.

"How many times have I told you to be careful while filming? You only bumped your shoulder this time, but what if you bumped somewhere else?" Lin Bufan looked at Liu Yifei with an unfriendly tone: "If you do this again, you're not allowed to act anymore!"

"Honey, I just enjoy acting..."

Liu Yifei tugged at Lin Bufan's arm and looked at him coquettishly, "Besides, how can you not get injured while filming? I'll be more careful in the future."

"you……"

Looking at Liu Yifei's coquettish behavior, Lin Bufan sighed.

No one could remain unmoved when Liu Yifei acted coquettishly, not even Lin Bufan.

"Okay, honey, don't be angry anymore. I'll be more careful to protect myself from now on."

Seeing that Lin Bufan wasn't so angry anymore, Liu Yifei quickly looked at him ingratiatingly.

It wasn't that Liu Yifei was subservient, but rather that she knew Lin Bufan was angry because he loved her, cared for her, and didn't want her to suffer even the slightest harm.

Lin Bufan had already discussed with Liu Yifei that Crystal Entertainment was established specifically for her.

Even if she doesn't act and just stays with Crystal Entertainment, once Crystal goes public, her net worth will be at least several hundred million or even a billion.

However, she chose this path herself.

For her, acting is like living another life, and she enjoys this kind of experience.

Next, Lin Bufan stayed with Liu Yifei for two days before transferring to a flight to visit Yang Mi at the filming location of "Final Destination 2".

Like Liu Yifei, Yang Mi also didn't expect Lin Bufan to suddenly visit the set.

……

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was February 24th.

This day was the Oscars ceremony, and Lin Bufan had already arrived in Los Angeles on the evening of the 23rd.

Lin Bufan didn't pay much attention to the 80th Academy Awards; he simply walked the red carpet into the Kodak Theatre with his female companion, Scarlett O'Hara.

This time, Lin Bufan only had "Lust, Caution" nominated for Best Foreign Language Film; the rest of the crew did not attend.

The only ones qualified to come were the male and female leads, but the male lead, Liang Jiahui, was already immersed in the creation of "The Pirates" and didn't really care about the exposure from walking the red carpet.

Dong Jie wanted to come, but since the male lead hadn't come, it would be too abrupt for her, the female lead, to come alone. So she had no choice but to stay in China and not come.

Originally, Lin Bufan planned to walk the red carpet alone.

However, just last night, Scarlett called him and offered to walk the red carpet with him.

"Daddy..."

As Lin Bufan was walking the red carpet, he suddenly heard a somewhat charming voice beside him.

"What did you call me?"

Lin Bufan turned to look at Scarlett. From her slightly parted lips, he could tell that the words he had just heard came from Scarlett.

"Isn't the term 'Daddy' quite different?"

Scarlett linked arms with Lin Bufan as they walked down the red carpet, greeting reporters and fans on both sides of the carpet as she spoke softly.

In this setting, Scarlett actually called him Daddy, which really surprised Lin Bufan. But after the initial surprise, just as Scarlett said, hearing her call him that made him feel quite special.

"Let's do it together tonight!"

Scarlett turned to look at Lin Bufan, blinked, and her implication was quite clear.
