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

It can be said that the mentor lineup of the third season of "The Voice of China" has undergone a major overhaul.

Apart from Liu Huan, the other three mentors have all changed.

Although Hong Tao has only spoken with Tan Jing so far, and she has agreed to everything, Tan Yonglin and Fei Yuqing still need to be spoken to.

But Lin Bufan believed they weren't stupid.

They would not refuse a show that brings in 20 to 30 million yuan a season, more than they could earn from filming.

Lin Bufan only gave a few simple instructions regarding the arrangements for "The Voice of China" before ignoring them further.

……

"What? A $5 million blockbuster?"

"Director, or rather, a commercially successful director, Van Ness Lin?"

"The audition has to be in China?"

Soon, news that Lin Bufan was going to start filming a movie with an investment of 5 million US dollars spread throughout Hollywood.

Lin Bufan at this time was no longer the same person he was three years ago.

Looking back three years ago, when Lin Bufan first arrived in Hollywood and established his own company, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to succeed later, even if he hadn't received systematic help in successfully filming "Manchester by the Sea".

He is now a world-class director.

In the realm of commercial films, Lin Bufan's status has already been established with the film "2012," which grossed over $10 billion worldwide.

Films like "Manchester by the Sea" have earned Lin Bufan a respectable number of awards.

Oscar for Best Director, Golden Bear and Golden Lion at the Berlin International Film Festival and the Venice International Film Festival.

Lin Bufan even won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

After he announced "The Lost Tomb: The Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas," the entire Hollywood was in an uproar.

"Isn't it just going to China for an audition?"

"go!"

Of course I'll go, and I absolutely must go.

In Hollywood, even a production with a budget of $1 million is considered a big production, let alone this movie which is expected to have a budget of $5 million.

Let alone getting the lead or supporting role, even a supporting role will definitely increase your value if the movie becomes a box office hit.

The competition in Hollywood is much fiercer than in mainland China.

Especially in terms of pay, Hollywood A-list stars can easily earn tens of millions of US dollars per film, while those below A-list stars generally earn only a few million US dollars.

With each step up in status, the salary for the next role will increase by a level. To put it nicely, it's for one's future and career; to put it bluntly, isn't it just for the money?

……

"Go to China..."

Robert Downey Jr. looked at the news in the newspaper.

Unlike the original timeline, he should have been on the set of "Iron Man" at this time, and with the success of the movie, he eventually became a top Hollywood star.

However, the copyright of "Iron Man" is now in Lin Bufan's hands, and even the character has been given to Deng Chao by Lin Bufan.

He's now considered a third-tier star in Hollywood, or even worse. His asking price for a film is less than $10.

Even so, no one invited him.

There was no way around it; his imprisonment caused quite a stir in Hollywood, and his reputation wasn't good.

For Hollywood, which is full of talent, one more or one less makes no difference; he is not that important.

Are you going to China?

Tang Ni's girlfriend came out and looked at Tang Ni, who was reading the newspaper.

"I want to go!"

Tang Ni nodded. He wanted to give it a try; what if he could get the opportunity?

Even if it's just a small role, he doesn't want to give it up.

"But as far as I know, China has very strict regulations on that stuff!" Tang Ni's girlfriend looked at him seriously.

"I don't want to hear the news that you were arrested in China because of that stuff. You should know that once something like that happens, you'll never have another chance."

To the outside world, Tang Ni announced that she had quit that drug, creating a persona of a prodigal son returning home.

However, anyone with knowledge of that substance knows that its harmfulness and the possibility of quitting it are practically nonexistent.

Once you start using it, almost 99.99% of people can't quit.

Therefore, Tang Ni didn't touch him simply because he wasn't caught. Even in later generations, his reputation grew because he could make money, so capital protected him, and he remained unscathed.

"Three days should be fine!"

Tang Ni took a deep breath, her expression somewhat solemn.

He knew about China's control over that thing, but he estimated that he only needed three days and there shouldn't be any problems.

He couldn't guarantee more, but he could manage to go three days without touching it.

At this time, many Hollywood stars shared the same idea as Robert Downey Jr., such as Annie Heydwell, Jennifer Aniston, and Kate Winslet.

Some people watch it for the female lead, while others watch it for the supporting roles.

Leonardo DiCaprio also set off at the same time.

And, quite coincidentally, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet actually met on the plane.

"Leon?"

In the Boeing first-class cabin on the flight to Beijing, Kate discovered that the person sitting next to her was none other than Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Kate?"

Leonardo DiCaprio never expected to see Kate here.

The two of them became famous all over the world instantly thanks to "Titanic".

"Are you there for an audition too?"

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

"That's right!"

"Very good!"

Upon hearing the answer, Kate looked at Leonardo DiCaprio with excitement.

In recent years, Kate's career hasn't been as successful as Leonardo DiCaprio's. In fact, it's the same everywhere, including the entertainment industry. Female stars just don't have the same longevity as male stars.

According to Kate, if Leonardo DiCaprio were to play the lead role, the director would likely choose her to play the female lead.

With just the two of them in the cast, it's practically a replica of the cast of "Titanic".

With Titanic as a benchmark, this movie's box office performance is sure to be pretty good.

But unlike Kate's naive idea, Leonardo DiCaprio knew very well that he and Kate were the real competitors.

Choose either him or her.

Given Director Lin's standards, it's impossible for him to choose either of them.

Early in the morning, after opening my eyes, I glanced at Gao Yuanyuan, who was still fast asleep beside me.

After putting on his pajamas, Lin Bufan began his daily routine of checking in.

"Energy Pills, these are great stuff!"

Lin Bufan took out an empty wooden box from the dimensional space, filled it up, and put it back into the dimensional space.

This thing isn't like a beauty and health pill or a six-flavor imperial pill, which can be bought in the system shop. The only source of the energy pill is daily check-in.
