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

Before we knew it, it was February 1st.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Monthly check-in successful. Rewards: One bottle of Liuwei Emperor Pills (10 pills) + One bottle of Beauty and Nourishing Pills (10 pills) + 100 million US dollars + One script for the movie "Ip Man"]

On her due date, Liu Yifei still felt nothing.

"Ip Man"

Lin Bufan knew about this movie.

In fact, the first "Ip Man" movie did not have a high box office, only more than 80 million, and it did not even break 100 million.

The real explosion of "Ip Man" began with the second film, which grossed over 2 million yuan, followed by the third film with over 7 million yuan, and the fourth film with a gross of over 10 billion yuan.

Lin Bufan himself had no interest in making this movie; he could have easily handed it over to another director. He only needed to be responsible for the investment.

……

"Sister Hong, thank you so much for what happened last time!"

In the top suite of a five-star hotel, after exercising, Lin Bufan looked down at Chen Hong in his arms.

Shu Chang's matter is not easy to resolve on his own, and even if he does resolve it, he will owe the other party a considerable favor.

With Chen Hong and Chen Kaige stepping in, things became simple; the other party would always have to give them face.

Most importantly, it's not a big deal.

The reason why the production team of "Three Drops of Blood" targeted Shu Chang in the beginning was because she had no backing and no one spoke up for her. So they could offend her. From the investors and director to the ordinary actors, no one in the production team was afraid of her.

"What's your relationship with that Shu Chang?"

Chen Hong tilted her head slightly, looked at Lin Bufan, and asked curiously.

"She is Sisi's best friend."

Lin Bufan glanced at Chen Hong and said simply.

"It's that simple?"

Chen Hong looked at Lin Bufan, somewhat skeptical.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Lin Bufan changed the subject, looking at Chen Hong and asking, "Did you find the team I asked you to find?"

With Liu Yifei about to give birth, Lin Bufan needed someone to take care of her during her postpartum period and the baby. So he asked Chen Hong to help him contact a reliable team.

"Found it, I'll take you to see it in a bit."

Chen Hong nodded slightly, feeling a little sore inside.

Chen Hong is a woman with an exceptionally strong possessive streak, which is precisely because her status restricts her. She is not only Chen Kaige's wife, but Lin Bufan is also a powerful and influential director.

Otherwise, if Lin Bufan were just a young, inexperienced actor with no connections in the entertainment industry, he would definitely be completely controlled by Chen Hong.

"good!"

As Lin Bufan spoke, he patted Chen Hong's shapely buttocks.

As Lin Bufan stepped out of the hotel, he glanced at the time. It was already 3 p.m. Chen Hong had called him that morning, saying she had something to discuss at the hotel, and three hours had passed since he arrived.

Let's go!

Chen Hong walked beside Lin Bufan. Since they were outside, she dared not have any overly intimate contact with Lin Bufan, such as holding hands.

For Chen Hong, the last time she was with Lin Bufan was in Los Angeles.

Chen Kaige's health was also deteriorating day by day. He was even afraid that Chen Hong would take the initiative to contact him, so he moved to the study under the pretext of studying the script.

However, even if Chen Kaige still wanted to, Chen Hong no longer did.

Having tasted the good, one naturally looks down on the bad.

In the afternoon, Chen Hong introduced Lin Bufan to a professional company and ordered a team of twelve people from them.

There are 4 nannies and 8 childcare workers, all women aged 30-40, and all professionals with more than 8 years of experience in the field.

The only downside is that it's expensive.

A team of 12 people costs as much as 50 yuan a month.

This was in 06. On average, each person's monthly salary was over 4 yuan. The price was high, but it was definitely worth the money.

"This is?"

Inside the villa, Liu Xiaoli was stunned when she saw Lin Bufan lead a group of people in.

"Auntie, this is a team I hired for Xixi."

Lin Bufan explained the situation to Liu Xiaoli and then got up to go to the hospital.

Watching Lin Bufan leave in a hurry, Liu Xiaoli felt a pang of emotion.

When they first met, she wasn't actually that satisfied with Lin Bufan.

However, after several meetings, she became increasingly satisfied with her future son-in-law.

He's talented and good to his daughter, but his only flaw is that he's a bit of a womanizer and has other women on the side.

"Why……"

Liu Xiaoli shook her head slightly. If her daughter were Lin Bufan's official girlfriend, she certainly wouldn't tolerate this. But to put it bluntly, her daughter was a newcomer, so what right did she have to say anything else?

At the hospital, Shu Chang was with Liu Yifei.

After the matter with the "Three Drops of Blood" production team was settled, Shu Chang hasn't had much work recently, and she's turned down all the commercial performances she could.

As a result, Shu Chang's uncle's family was somewhat unhappy.

Because she turned down some commercial performances, her uncle's family has also lost a lot of money in the past few days.

"Changchang, why don't you find a professional manager?"

Liu Yifei, lying in the hospital bed, looked at Shu Chang, who seemed rather sullen, and offered her advice.

Shu Chang's manager has always been her uncle's family.

If her uncle's family were professionals, that would be one thing, but the key issue is that they know almost nothing about it, otherwise, something like what happened to the "Three Drops of Blood" crew wouldn't have happened.

They're just leeching off Shu Chang. After all, as Shu Chang's manager, they take half of her film and television fees and commercial performance fees.

"I……"

Shu Chang hesitated, looking troubled.

She couldn't help but think that in the entertainment industry, which agent could take 50% of a star's commission? It could only be her uncle's family.

She wasn't stupid; she knew her uncle's family was sucking her dry.

But she was raised by her uncle's family since she was a child, and she always wanted to repay their kindness.

"You have repaid even the greatest favors over the years."

Just then, Lin Bufan pushed the door open and came in, looking at Shu Chang.

Over the years, her uncle's family has earned at least several million yuan from Shu Chang's film and commercial performance fees.

The average price of a house in Beijing is less than 5,000 yuan per square meter, and houses within the Third Ring Road are just over 10,000 yuan per square meter. You could buy several large apartments for a few million yuan.

Undeniably, she owes a debt of gratitude to her uncle's family, but equally, no matter how great the debt, Shu Chang's many years of dedication are enough to repay it.

"I'm not talking about me anymore."

Shu Chang gritted her teeth, still unable to make up her mind, shook her head, and looked at Lin Bufan: "Director Lin, congratulations on 'Love is Not Blind' surpassing 2.7 million at the box office."

Just yesterday, "Love is Not Blind" officially ended its theatrical run.

Lin Bufan originally thought that the movie's box office would end at 260 million, since the daily box office had already dropped below 300,000.

Unexpectedly, the daily box office increased significantly during the Chinese New Year holiday, resulting in the film ultimately closing with a box office of 2.71 million yuan.
