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.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in for the festival and received a festival gift pack as a reward.]

Lin Bufan opened his eyes and began his daily check-in.

"Another holiday check-in today?"

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

Lin Bufan turned his head to look at Fan Bingbing, then quietly got up, put on his pajamas, and went to the study.

Fan Bingbing is now more than two months pregnant. Unlike others, her morning sickness is quite severe. Lin Bufan has been here to keep her company for the past two days.

"System, open the holiday gift pack!"

After entering the study, Lin Bufan sat down in a chair.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have opened the Jingzhe Festival Gift Pack and received the reward: YKK waterproof zipper technology.]

"YKK waterproof zipper technology?"

Lin Bufan was completely confused.

After reviewing the technology, Lin Bufan realized its importance.

Its importance is mainly reflected in outdoor gear. This YKK waterproof zipper technology prevents water molecules from seeping in along the zipper gaps through special zipper tooth design and covered heat-sealed flaps.

Combined with the previously mentioned superhydrophobic fabric technology, the two can definitely create a top-tier outdoor brand.

……

"Boss, Carter Dennis just called..."

On the way to the company, Zhang Tianai sat next to Lin Bufan and gave a report.

"Oh, what is it?"

"Carter said, filming for 'Pirates of the Caribbean' begins today..."

Filming has started so soon?

Lin Bufan suddenly realized.

During this period, he focused all his energy on casting for the film.

There are 10 important characters in "Guixu: The Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas".

The most important main characters are Yun, Ni, and Lei Lie.

Ni is undoubtedly the female lead, Yun is the righteous male lead, and Lei Lie is the villainous male lead.

These three roles are the most important.

Lin Bufan already had a preliminary idea for the role of Yun: to invite Leonardo DiCaprio to play it.

Carter has already made contact with the other party, and Leonardo DiCaprio is also very interested in this $5 million film. The other party will take a flight to Beijing the day after tomorrow, with an estimated arrival time of the 8th.

This movie is going to be released worldwide, so one of the male or female leads must be an internationally famous superstar.

Clearly, Leonardo DiCaprio is very suitable for this role.

As for the role of Ni, Lin Bufan originally wanted Fan Bingbing to play it, but now it seems impossible.

Fan Bingbing attaches great importance to this child.

She would absolutely not agree to any harm to her unborn child as a result of playing this role.

"I've got it..."

Lin Bufan was making plans in his mind, and several people, including Liu Yifei and Gao Yuanyuan, flashed through his mind one by one.

Liu Yifei is still filming "The Hunger Games," a series, and she doesn't have much energy or time to devote to this film.

Needless to say, the others always felt something was missing.

But just now, Lin Bufan suddenly thought of someone, someone who can be said to be the undisputed pinnacle of domestic female stars.

She is Gong Li.

If we're talking about a top-tier actress in China, and one that's universally acknowledged and is the only one, then it's Gong Li.

Furthermore, Gong Li was already internationally renowned at this time.

"Tian'ai, after you get to the company, contact Gong Li's agent!"

Lin Bufan turned to look at Zhang Tianai beside him.

"Yes, boss!"

The female lead has been chosen, as well as this main antagonist.

Lei Lie's role is almost as prominent as that of the male lead, Yun.

This is also a very important role.

He really wanted to cast a mainland Chinese star in this role, but for a moment he couldn't think of any star who would be suitable for the role of Lei Lie.

In addition to the three characters mentioned above, there are seven other characters: Doctor, Iron Warrior, Viper, Wrench, A'Ruo, Mute Monk, and Xiang Liu.

As for the characters Qilin, Linhe, Lushu, Chenghuang, and Wenyaoyu, they were all created using motion capture and special effects compositing. All that was needed was to select the voice actors for the later stages.

About half an hour later, the car drove into the third basement level, into the chairman's private parking space. Lin Bufan got out of the car and led Zhang Tianai and Liu Meng toward the elevator.

After entering the private elevator, it stopped on the 33rd floor a few dozen seconds later.

After exiting the elevator, Liu Meng, the personal driver, went to the drivers' lounge.

Although it's called a lounge, it's over 50 square meters in size, with a bedroom and a separate bathroom. Whenever Lin Bufan needs anything, Liu Meng can quickly come to his aid.

"Chairman!"

To enter the chairman's office, one must first go through the secretariat.

The secretariat is the office of Shen Lin, Meng Xiuwen, and Chen Yu. You can only enter Lin Bufan's office after passing their desks.

When Lin Bufan arrived, the three of them were already there.

"You three, come in here!"

"Yes, Chairman!"

The three of them, along with Zhang Tianai, followed Lin Bufan into the chairman's office.

The three of them had their workstations outside, while Zhang Tianai's workstation was inside Chairman Lin Bufan's office.

It was a separate small compartment that had been partitioned off.

Lin Bufan's office has a separate elevator that leads to the 34th and 35th floors and the rooftop.

"Xiao Meng, draft a document right now. The main content should be..."

Lin Bufan also considered the movie "Guixu: The Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas," which is aimed at the global market. Apart from a few roles, it is impossible to use only Chinese faces.

This is very detrimental to the film's box office performance.

Therefore, the document that Lin Bufan is having Meng Xiuwen draft is mainly aimed at Hollywood stars, who will participate in the public audition for the film on the 10th, just like Chinese entertainment stars.

"Chairman, I..."

Before Meng Xiuwen could speak, Shen Lin, who was standing to the side, hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"I know what you're going to say!"

Lin Bufan interrupted Shen Lin and continued, "The notification has already reached Hollywood. As for whether anyone will come, that's up to them."

He knew that Shen Lin meant that Hollywood stars might come to China to audition for "Guixu: The Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas".

However, for Lin Bufan, whether or not they come is not the most important thing. As long as they are notified, whether or not they come is their business, and no one will say anything about it later.

Moreover, Lin Bufan believed that with his current influence in Hollywood and even globally, Hollywood stars would definitely come.
