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

"Boss, this is the personnel information selected by the HR department. Please take a look."

Bai Bing approached Lin Bufan with a list in hand.

As the company gradually gets back on track, especially since Lin Bufan is about to go out to film a movie and needs a driver to travel back and forth.

"Let's go with Liu Meng!"

Lin Bufan glanced through the list and finally chose a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and a somewhat simple and honest demeanor.

The main reason for choosing him, besides his past service in the special forces and participation in the Laoshan counter-offensive, is that he has elderly parents and young children to support, which is very important.

"Yes, boss, I'll inform the HR department right away."

Go!

Lin Bufan waved his hand, and just as Bai Bing stepped out of the office, Lin Bufan's phone rang.

"Feed?"

"It's me, Han Sanping."

Han Sanping's voice came through the phone.

"Chairman Han, I was just thinking of going to China Film Group later to thank you..."

Lin Bufan smiled.

The fact that the box office revenue sharing for "Love is Not Blind" arrived so quickly must be because Han Sanping gave the order; otherwise, theaters would usually hold onto the revenue sharing for 1-2 months.

"No need for thanks."

China Film Group was responsible for distributing "Love is Not Blind" and made over nine million yuan, a substantial profit.

"I heard that your Kyoto script was submitted to the broadcasting authorities for review?"

Han Sanping called this time for this very purpose.

Han Sanping is currently the vice chairman of China Film Group Corporation, and he is almost certain to become the chairman of the next term.

Now, every successful film investment by China Film Group is a political achievement for him.

Nowadays, there are not many directors in China that Han Sanping values, and Lin Bufan is one of them, and the most important one at that.

Lin Bufan is incredibly young, and his first film grossed a whopping 2.71 million yuan at the mainland box office, while also winning awards abroad.

Therefore, he was paying close attention to every move Lin Bufan and Kyoto Entertainment made.

"Chairman Han, I was just about to tell you about this..."

After briefly explaining the situation, Lin Bufan made an appointment with Han Sanping to personally go to China Film Group the next day to discuss investment matters.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Bufan leaned back in the boss's chair, closed his eyes, and gently tapped the armrest with his fingers.

Money isn't earned by one person alone.

His first film, "Love is Not Blind," was able to be sold all by himself because no one invested in it at the time. If he wanted to do it all by himself now, he would be cutting himself off from the entertainment industry.

A great man once said, "Make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible," a principle Lin Bufan has always regarded as his guiding principle.

The entertainment industry, to put it bluntly, is just a small circle.

Now that he's entered this circle, it's almost impossible for him to remain untainted.

Of course, he won't cooperate with just anyone; he won't choose a partner who lacks strength.

"Boss!"

Just then, Bai Bing knocked on the door and came in.

"What is it?"

"Boss, Mr. Wang from Huayi Brothers just called and wants to invite you to dinner tonight," Bai Bing reported to Lin Bufan.

Very few people know Lin Bufan's private phone number; Han Sanping is one of them, but of course he would never reveal it to anyone. Others who want to contact Lin Bufan can only do so through his work phone number.

Huayi Brothers!

Lin Bufan nodded slightly and looked at Bai Bing.

Last year, Wang Jinghua led a group of people to leave Huayi Brothers, which was indeed a heavy blow to Huayi Brothers, but Huayi Brothers' network and foundation are still there.

Among so many entertainment companies in China, Huayi Brothers' strength should not be underestimated.

If it's about cooperation, Huayi Brothers would be a very good partner.

"Yes, boss!"

……

"Brother, they replied. Lin Bufan agreed."

"Huayi," said Xiao Wang, looking at Da Wang with an excited expression.

After the release of "Love is Not Blind" and its box office exceeded 100 million yuan, the big bosses of Huayi Brothers wanted to meet with Lin Bufan, but Lin Bufan never had the time.

First I went to Los Angeles, then it was Chinese New Year, so I've been waiting until now.

"I'm leaving the public relations to you. Make sure you get on board with Director Lin tonight."

The eldest son looked at the youngest son with a serious expression.

Huayi Brothers is currently suffering a significant loss of strength, so a cooperation agreement with Lin Bufan would be extremely important for them.

"Don't worry, brother, I understand."

Mr. Wang nodded confidently.

Huayi Brothers' PR team, as anyone who knows, has almost no problem winning over anyone.

……

At 8 p.m., inside a private club in Nanluoguxiang.

"Director Lin!"

At the entrance of the club, Mr. Wang greeted Lin Bufan with a big smile as he got out of the car.

"Young Master Wang!"

Lin Bufan nodded to Xiao Wang.

Lin Bufan looked around as he entered the club.

This is a small courtyard house converted into a private club, with KTV rooms, a chess and card room, and a tea room. The chefs and service staff are all people from the Wang family.

"Director Lin, this is my older brother."

Young Master Wang led Lin Bufan to the tea room, where Old Master Wang stood up to greet him.

"Boss Wang!"

"Director Lin, welcome!"

The three met for the first time and then sat down in the tea room.

"Director Lin, I heard you're preparing to shoot another movie?"

After a few casual words, Boss Wang went straight to the point and looked at Lin Bufan.

"That's right!"

Lin Bufan nodded.

Now that he's here, I never intended to hide it from him.

"I wonder if Huayi Brothers will participate in the investment?"

The king looked at Lin Bufan.

"Mr. Wang, you dare to invest without even reading the script?"

Lin Bufan looked at President Wang with a smile.

"Director Lin's movies don't require a script."

The king shook his head.

If it were a typical small-time director, they would be eagerly begging for investors, but is Lin Bufan a small-time director?

Now, all he has to do is announce that his new movie needs investment, and countless people will rush to invest. So, Mr. Wang is well aware of the situation on both sides.

Now, it is Huayi Brothers that needs Lin Bufan, not Lin Bufan who needs Huayi Brothers.

"Since the King has said so, of course I'll give him face."

Lin Bufan nodded first, then said, "However, the specific percentage that Huayi Brothers will take will have to be determined after we meet with Chairman Han tomorrow."

Huayi Brothers was one of the allies Lin Bufan chose for himself.

"no problem."

The king nodded. As long as they could follow suit, it didn't matter what percentage they took; of course, the more the better.

"I have one more condition."

Lin Bufan looked at President Wang.

"What are Director Lin's conditions?"

"I want to invest in Huayi Brothers!"

Lin Bufan looked at President Wang and said with a serious expression.

In later years, Huayi Brothers went public in October 09. At its peak, its market value even exceeded 10 billion yuan. If you could invest in Huayi Brothers now, you would definitely make a fortune in the future.

Lin Bufan certainly couldn't miss such a good opportunity.
