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

"BOSS!"

Carter Dennis saw Lin Bufan and hurriedly ran over.

Extraordinary Pictures is one of the investors in "Guixu: The Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas," and the film's press conference is about to be held.

As one of the investors, he will definitely be attending.

"Carter!"

Lin Bufan nodded to Carter Dennis and said with a smile, "How's your first time in China?"

"Excellent!"

Carter Dennis gave a thumbs up, his face exaggerated: "China is completely different from what's reported in the news."

"How are the preparations for the company's IPO going?"

After a few casual words, Lin Bufan got down to business.

Since Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Merrill Lynch invested in Extraordinary Pictures, the pace of its IPO has been very fast, but Lin Bufan has not paid attention to it during this period.

"Regarding the company's IPO, progress is rapid. The specific timeframe hasn't been set yet, but it's expected to take no more than three months, and at the latest, it should be listed before October 1st..." Carter Dennis replied earnestly.

He was, of course, also paying attention to this matter.

He also owns several million shares of Extraordinary Pictures.

If the company goes public and its market value skyrockets, he will instantly become a multi-millionaire with a net worth of over ten million US dollars.

To date, Extraordinary Pictures has split 50 million shares. If its market value can exceed 5 billion US dollars, its shares would be worth at least tens of millions.

In fact, if Extraordinary Pictures' market value exceeds 10 billion US dollars, he may become a billionaire.

In the United States, having a net worth of over 100 million dollars is basically considered escaping the bottom rungs of society.

"Go and rest for now, I'll introduce you to a few people tonight."

As Lin Bufan spoke, he reminded Carter Dennis, "These people don't know about our relationship."

"Understood, Boss!"

Carter Dennis nodded knowingly.

To put it bluntly, they can't expose their relationship.

……

As time passed, all the companies that invested in "Guixu: The Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas" arrived: Chairman Han from China Film Group, Lao Wang from Enlight Media, Yang Shoucheng from Emperor Entertainment Group, Lao Yu from Bona Film Group, and Chairman Ren from the film's production company.

Even Crystal Entertainment sent people, and they were people Lin Bufan knew very well.

"Auntie, what brings you here?"

Upon receiving the news, Lin Bufan hurriedly drove to the airport to pick up Liu Xiaoli.

"Sissi isn't in the country, so I came to check on her!"

As Liu Xiaoli spoke, the two walked together toward the airport parking lot.

Liu Xiaoli has been managing Crystal Entertainment, since Liu Yifei is not in the country.

However, given Liu Yifei's personality, even if she were in the country, she would rarely go to the company.

"Auntie, get in the car!"

As Lin Bufan spoke, he took Liu Xiaoli's bag and placed it on the back of the car.

Over the years, thanks to the beauty and health-preserving pills, Liu Xiaoli has become younger and younger.

Liu Yifei once joked that if she stood next to her mother, strangers would think they were sisters.

Unbeknownst to Lin Bufan, the media had already photographed him personally driving to the airport to pick up Liu Xiaoli.

However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Last year, someone spread rumors online about a relationship between Lin Bufan, Liu Yifei, and Liu Xiaoli, and the rumors were quite detailed and convincing.

Subsequent investigation revealed that it was indeed Song Dazui who said it.

Everyone knows Song Dazui; in his past life, he was the one who spread rumors that Liu Yifei was a transgender person.

In other words, the internet environment at that time was too underdeveloped.

The news that Liu Yifei is a transgender person is so outrageous that many people actually believe it.

In reality, Song Dazui has connections behind him, almost all of which are related to Huayi Brothers.

Given the relationship between Huayi Brothers and Lin Bufan, they would definitely step on him if they could.

Since Lin Bufan broke ties with Huayi Brothers, the feud between Kyoto and Huayi Brothers has evolved from a personal grudge between Lin Bufan to a life-or-death struggle.

Whenever Huayi Brothers releases a movie, Kyoto Animation will definitely arrange a movie to counter it.

Kyoto Animation's actions will also affect its box office performance.

However, Kyoto still chose to do so, with only one goal: to block Huayi Brothers.

The same applies to TV dramas. Whatever TV drama Huayi invests in, Kyoto Animation will definitely follow suit as soon as it airs.

In the past two years, Huayi Brothers has been suffering repeated defeats at the hands of Kyoto Animation.

It's no wonder that the two Wangs of Huayi Brothers hate Lin Bufan to death, so they will try to smear Lin Bufan whenever they have the chance.

If it weren't for the mysterious injection of funds behind Huayi Brothers, Huayi would have been defeated by Kyoto long ago.

"Auntie, you live here!"

Lin Bufan drove Liu Xiaoli to the presidential suite of the Qinhuangdao Grand Hotel.

"The environment here is nice!"

Liu Xiaoli entered the presidential suite, smiling at Lin Bufan: "Bufan, thank you for your trouble!"

"Auntie, this is what I should do."

Lin Bufan said with a smile, then brought his backpack in.

"It's much warmer inside!"

It's only April, and the weather in Qinhuangdao hasn't gotten warm yet. Especially today, with the light rain outside, it's still a bit chilly.

As Liu Xiaoli spoke, she took off her coat.

At this moment, Liu Xiaoli doesn't look like a 49-year-old at all. She was already very young, and after taking the beauty and health pills, she seemed to have returned to her youth, at the peak of her beauty.

Not only that, her looks have returned to their peak, and she still retains that mature woman's charm.

Needless to say, her figure is also outstanding.

"Auntie, you should rest well first, I'll go and get back to work!"

Lin Bufan took a deep breath, finished speaking, turned around, bowed slightly, and left.

After leaving the room, Lin Bufan took deep breaths until he had dispelled the heat in his body before straightening up.

It wasn't until Lin Bufan left that Liu Xiaoli suddenly realized she was wearing tight-fitting clothes.

I was wearing a light jacket, so it wasn't a problem.

But now, after taking off her coat, the lines of her entire body are fully revealed.

The allure of a young woman, especially one who is alluring yet veiled, is incredibly strong for a man.

She's not a little girl anymore. When Lin Bufan bent down to cover her, she naturally realized what was going on.

……

Before we knew it, it was eight o'clock in the evening.

Inside the enormous private room of the Qin Shihuang Hotel, all the investors of "Gui Xu: Mountain and Sea Spirit Realm" were seated.

"Let me introduce you all. This is Mr. Carter Dennis, the general manager of Hollywood Extraordinary Pictures." Lin Bufan stood up and introduced him to the others present with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Carter!"

Yang Shoucheng stood up first and looked at Carter Dennis: "My name is Yang Shoucheng, and I am the chairman of Emperor Entertainment Group in Hong Kong."
