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

"Boss, a lot of reporters have come outside, wanting to interview you!"

The next day, as soon as Lin Bufan arrived at the company, Zhang Tianai came to report to him.

"An interview?"

Lin Bufan looked at Lin Bufan with a puzzled expression: "Interview about what?"

Could it be because he won the Golden Bear Award?

Or perhaps the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film?

"If they're asking about awards, just brush them off for me!"

Lin Bufan waved his hand, looking completely indifferent.

To others in the entertainment industry, these so-called reporters are like uncrowned kings, and no one dares to offend them easily.

But who is Lin Bufan?

In the current situation, since Lin Bufan doesn't need to rely on them for food, he naturally doesn't need to be afraid of offending them.

"No, boss..."

Zhang Tianai explained, and only then did they understand what had happened.

The news of Lin Bufan winning the award was already known in China, especially the Golden Bear in Berlin, which was spread throughout the country on the day he won it.

Since Lin Bufan has not returned to China, so much time has passed that the hype has long since died down.

Even the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film isn't that impressive to many people, since Lin Bufan has even won the Oscar for Best Director.

The incident stemmed from Jessica giving birth to Lin Bufan's child yesterday.

Initially, a netizen posted an article online with the title "Top Hollywood actress gives birth to a daughter for director Lin".

As I said before, the national situation at that time was different from that of later years. Even second- or third-tier stars in Hong Kong received treatment comparable to top-tier stars in mainland China.

Moreover, he is a Hollywood star.

Jessica Alba is a top Hollywood star. When the public first learned of her rumored relationship with Lin Bufan, countless people were proud of her.

It was as if they had married a Hollywood actress.

However, as time went on, people would occasionally talk about it, but apart from saying that Lin Bufan was awesome, there was nothing else.

After all, even the most shocking thing will seem quite ordinary once you get used to it.

It's like why many men feel that wildflowers smell better than garden flowers, and even that wildflowers aren't as pretty as garden flowers—many people just can't understand it.

However, only those who have truly experienced it know.

When two people live together for a long time, you stop noticing how beautiful the other person is. Simply put, you get tired of the relationship and can no longer appreciate their beauty.

In fact, many things follow this principle.

Even Jessica's pregnancy with Lin Bufan caused a sensation at the time, but the hype quickly died down.

Normally, this wouldn't have caused much of a stir.

After all, she was already pregnant, so having a baby was a normal thing, and besides, this wasn't Lin Bufan's first child.

However, just last night, some of Lin Bufan's haters made some sarcastic remarks, taking advantage of the fact that Jessica is a "foreigner".

This is normal; even the most powerful people have haters, and Lin Bufan is no exception.

After all, he's not money, so he can't make everyone like him. In fact, to put it bluntly, even money isn't liked by everyone; there will always be people who don't like money.

But at that moment, a fan of Lin Bufan, who seemed to have some connection with him, directly posted a photo.

This photo instantly caused a sensation online, and the buzz only grew stronger.

"What photo?"

Lin Bufan looked at Zhang Tianai with a puzzled expression.

He doesn't share Lao Chen's hobbies, and he doesn't like photography in his daily life. What kind of photo could have such power?

Thinking of the photos, Lin Bufan's thoughts suddenly jumped around.

If he remembers correctly, the incident involving Old Chen's photos seems to have occurred during the Berlin International Film Festival.

However, he has never heard of this matter until now.

"Could it be that I caused things to go astray?" The thought flashed through Lin Bufan's mind.

"Boss, look..."

As Zhang Tianai spoke, she took out a photo printed from the internet and handed it to Lin Bufan.

"What's wrong with that?"

Lin Bufan looked at the photo; the content on it was very simple—just an ID card.

"Boss, this is Miss Jessica's ID card!"

Zhang Tianai looked at Lin Bufan.

"yes!"

Lin Bufan nodded. He already knew about Jessica's Chinese citizenship. What's the problem with just an ID card?

"Boss, you..."

Looking at her boss's indifferent expression, Zhang Tianai really didn't know how to explain it to him.

The only thing I could do was take him to the computer, open the forum, and let him learn about it and see for himself.

"It's just..."

Lin Bufan was saying this, but the next second, he was stunned when he saw the constantly flashing subtitles on the forum.

The flashing subtitles on the forum weren't because the computer was broken, but because people were constantly refreshing and posting in the thread; the thread was being built up at an incredibly fast pace.

Almost every second, a dozen or so new buildings will appear.

"Last night, the servers of these websites went down several times..." Zhang Tianai stood behind Lin Bufan, looking at her boss and husband.

He truly had no idea how shocking his actions were.

Actually, to put it simply, things are really quite simple.

The first thing was that Hollywood's top actress Jessica had become a Chinese citizen, which Lin Bufan considered perfectly normal.

But for the general public, this is not normal at all.

It's important to understand that during this period, the "obsession" with foreign countries in China seemed almost obsessive, and countless Chinese celebrities changed their nationality after becoming famous.

Even kung fu legend Jet Li has been rumored to have acquired foreign citizenship, though he has not yet responded to this matter personally.

At this time, how shocked and proud the public would be if a top Hollywood actress acquired Chinese citizenship.

In addition to that, there is another thing, which is the name Jessica chose after she became a Chinese citizen.

As is well known, when foreigners acquire Chinese citizenship, their names are generally related to Chinese culture, and they often adopt various Chinese surnames.

For example, Da Shan, who is quite famous in China, is a frequent guest on the Spring Festival Gala and is known to everyone.

His Chinese name is Xu Dashan. Besides him, there is also Li Bai, Sa Beining's foreign wife, who is the same.

But Jessica's name is Jessica Lin.

When Jessica first became a Chinese citizen, she didn't tell anyone. Moreover, she didn't know much about Chinese culture and preferred the Western way of putting her given name first and her full name last.

Initially, the focus of public discussion was on Jessica's acquisition of Chinese citizenship, and only later did people notice the issue of her name.

Finally, thanks to some people's "popular science" explanations, I learned that foreign women take their husbands' surnames after marriage, which is somewhat unbelievable to people in China today.
