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

"Is Sisi carrying your child?"

Shu Chang turned to look at Lin Bufan, sizing him up.

Yeah! He's pretty handsome. In terms of looks, he and his best friend are quite a good match.

"Hello, my name is Lin Bufan."

Lin Bufan looked at Shu Chang and had to admit that goddesses' best friends are usually quite good as well.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang are about the same age, and in terms of appearance, Shu Chang is only slightly less attractive than Liu Yifei.

However, in terms of acting skills, Shu Chang is far superior to Liu Yifei.

In 02, Shu Chang's portrayal of Consort Dong'e in "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" catapulted her to fame. Last year, her role as Xiaoyu in "The Lotus Lantern" solidified her position in the entertainment industry.

However, this girl isn't quite right in the head; she squandered a winning hand.

Mingming scored 520 points on the college entrance exam in 03 when she was in her second year of high school and was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, but she didn't go.

Then in 04, I took the college entrance examination in my senior year of high school and was admitted to the Second Foreign Language Institute, a university that has nothing to do with performing arts.

The entertainment industry is actually very exclusive. The Central Academy of Drama has its own circle, the Beijing Film Academy has its own circle, and the Shanghai Theatre Academy is the same.

There are examples of ordinary people achieving success against all odds, but they are far too few.

The further along the line, the more severe the exclusion became. She was neither an actress from Beijing Film Academy, nor from the Central Academy of Drama, nor from Shanghai Theatre Academy. When two or more people are suitable for a role, it is only natural to choose someone you are close to.

This is why Shu Chang's resources in later generations became increasingly scarce, and she eventually became a live-streaming e-commerce influencer.

As for the three drops of blood incident, it did have an impact on Shu Chang, but the impact wasn't that significant.

"Lin Bufan..."

Shu Chang looked at Lin Bufan with a serious expression, then said in a roundabout way, "I'm warning you, Qianqian is pregnant with your child. You'd better treat Qianqian well from now on. If I had known earlier that you had wronged Qianqian, I definitely wouldn't have let you off the hook."

As she spoke, Shu Chang clenched her fist and waved it in front of Lin Bufan, putting on a fierce expression as she looked at him.

"Sing a song..."

Liu Yifei tugged at Shu Chang's sleeve, feeling a little embarrassed.

She didn't even tell Shu Chang that she was pregnant, let alone that Lin Bufan currently has more than one woman besides herself.

Liu Yifei was aware of Dong Xuan and Chen Zihan's existence; she was well aware of it, but she and Lin Bufan had tacitly kept quiet about it.

Lin Bufan is a big director now, and she knows the situation in the entertainment industry all too well. There are countless women who want to throw themselves at Lin Bufan, but they just don't have the chance.

Privately, Liu Xiaoli and her daughter Liu Yifei talked about how if Liu Yifei was committed to Lin Bufan, she shouldn't worry too much about certain things.

Sometimes, not competing is the best form of competition.

Moreover, Liu Yifei is still young, only 19 years old this year, and she already has Lin Bufan's child, so she is already in an invincible position.

Therefore, there's even less reason to fight for it; the more you fight for it, the more you'll push men away.

"You..."

Shu Chang was unaware of those details and only assumed that Liu Yifei was protecting Lin Bufan, so she could only glare at Liu Yifei with annoyance.

How did you two meet?

On the living room sofa, after catching up with Liu Yifei, Shu Chang asked with some curiosity.

"we are……"

Liu Yifei briefly recounted how she met Lin Bufan.

"So, you're in the industry now?"

Shu Chang looked at Lin Bufan, and after thinking for a moment, said, "When the crew starts filming in a few days, I'll help you try to get an assistant director position from the director."

The production crew she was referring to was the TV series "When Love Comes".

In this TV series, Shu Chang is the absolute female lead, playing two roles. She has a lot of say in the production team, so it wouldn't be difficult for her to help Lin Bufan get a position as an assistant director.

To put it bluntly, in a film crew, the assistant director may have the title of director, but their status and power are worlds apart.

To put it bluntly, an assistant director on a film set is essentially just an assistant to the director; they only hold the title of assistant director.

"I?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bufan looked at Shu Chang with a startled expression.

"That's right!"

Shu Chang looked at Lin Bufan generously and snorted arrogantly, "Since you and Qianqian are like this, we're all friends. It's just a matter of a word."

"puff……"

Before Lin Bufan could speak, Liu Yifei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What's wrong?"

Shu Chang looked at Liu Yifei with a completely bewildered expression.

"Changchang, don't you know Bufan?"

Liu Yifei suppressed a laugh and looked at Shu Chang.

She assumed that Shu Chang would definitely know Lin Bufan given his current fame, so she didn't bother to introduce him.

"Him? Is he famous?"

Shu Chang looked at Liu Yifei with a puzzled expression.

"Changchang, do you know the movie 'Love is Not Blind'?" Liu Yifei asked Shu Chang with a smile.

"Of course I know."

Shu Chang nodded.

As someone in the industry, how could I not know the movie "Love is Not Blind"? This movie is currently number one at the box office in mainland China.

"I'm not very talented, but I directed this movie."

Lin Bufan looked at Shu Chang and shrugged.

"what!"

Shu Chang looked at Lin Bufan in shock.

She was genuinely shocked by the news.

Liu Yifei didn't introduce him in detail just now; she only thought Lin Bufan was a directing student who was about to graduate from the Beijing Film Academy.

As it turns out, he's the one who directed "Love is Not Blind".

I just had the audacity to say I'd introduce him to the "Love When It Comes" production team as an assistant director. How utterly shameful!

Thinking of this, Shu Chang's face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

"And also, last year Bu Fan's film 'Manchester by the Sea,' which he made in Hollywood, won the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture and was also nominated for an Academy Award..." Liu Yifei teased Shu Chang, who was looking embarrassed.

"you……"

Shu Chang glared angrily at Liu Yifei.

If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant, she definitely wouldn't have let her off the hook.

She suspected that Liu Yifei did it on purpose, deliberately not telling her so that she could see her make a fool of herself.

Anyway, thank you for your kind offer.

Lin Bufan looked at Shu Chang and said with a serious expression.

After getting to know her, Lin Bufan had a general idea of ​​Shu Chang's personality: she was a carefree but very loyal girl.

"This, I..."

Faced with Lin Bufan's thanks, Shu Chang suddenly became somewhat reserved.

In the entertainment industry, directors hold a higher status than actors, especially directors like Lin Bufan, who have both awards and box office success.

"Like you said, we're all friends, aren't we?"

Lin Bufan looked at Shu Chang with a smile, while gently patting Liu Yifei's leg.

"Sing a song..."

Liu Yifei looked at Shu Chang and offered some words of comfort before changing the subject: "By the way, Changchang, why didn't you go back to Chongqing for the Spring Festival this year?"
