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

Guo Fan

Lin Bufan turned to look at Guo Fan, his face serious: "This shot is in your hands. Don't let me down."

"Yes, Director!"

Guo Fan suppressed his excitement and made a promise.

During this time, Guo Fan learned a lot on set, and he certainly knew how important this opportunity was.

Lin Bufan still wanted to focus on cultivating Guo Fan.

Even with the system's rewards, Lin Bufan didn't want to spend his whole life making movies forever; that wouldn't be his life.

For a company to grow, it needs a constant influx of new talent.

Guo Fan proved himself in later years with "The Wandering Earth," so Lin Bufan was naturally willing to nurture him with peace of mind.

Go!

"Yes, Director!"

After receiving permission, Guo Fan immediately led his men to the Gobi Desert in Guazhou, Gansu Province, overnight.

This is the Huluhe Ruins, next to a group of sculptures in the Gobi Desert, and next to that are the ruins of a future city.

The production team spent a whopping five million to build this ruined city.

Just for a few seconds of screen time at the beginning of the movie.

"Lights, we'll be shooting from a low angle, wide-angle, starting from the horizon..." Guo Fan began to give instructions in a professional manner.

……

Meanwhile, Lin Bufan led the crew straight to Weizhou Island in Guangxi.

It's summer now, so the timing is perfect.

The crew will film at the Weizhou Island volcano, coral reefs, and nearby Detian Waterfall, mainly shooting the spectacular silver storm scenes of the first appearance of the Gate of Return to the Ruins, Cheng Huang, the Soul Crystal extraction site, and the Wenyao fish clan moving together.

However, before that, Lin Bufan needs to go to Hollywood.

News has come from Bart Elvis that, with the support of investors such as Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Merrill Lynch, Extraordinary Film Company will go public on June 10th.

Lin Bufan will definitely be present when the company goes public.

In China, his identity as an internationally renowned director is actually more useful than his identity as a capitalist, especially from the perspective of those in power.

But going abroad is different.

Abroad, people value capital more.

Despite being an internationally renowned director, Lin Bufan is still just a director in the eyes of many people.

Only a few people in investment banking knew that he was a shareholder of Extraordinary Film Company.

This time, Lin Bufan went to proactively reveal that he was one of the shareholders of Extraordinary Film Company.

Of course, this revelation is limited to the fact that he holds a 10% stake in Extraordinary Film Company.

This news, once it is revealed, will not only not affect his status as a famous director, but will even boost his reputation abroad.

He has both capital and an international director; he's rich and talented.

This kind of persona is very popular overseas.

……

Lin Bufan only brought one person with him on this trip to New York, and that was Zhao Liying.

"BOSS!"

After boarding the plane, Zhao Liying sat opposite Lin Bufan, resting one hand on the table and looking at him.

Since the last time, Lin Bufan and she haven't had a chance, so it's been dragged on until now.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Bufan teased Zhao Liying, noticing her wanting-to-eat-him-it look.

"Who told you not to come looking for me? Humph!"

Zhao Liying gave Lin Bufan a soft snort, expressing her dissatisfaction.

That time, I was disturbed by Zhang Yangguo'er, and I never had a chance to meet Lin Bufan again.

"How have you been lately?"

Now that the plane has entered the stratosphere, Lin Bufan unbuckled his seatbelt, walked over to Zhao Liying, sat down next to her, and picked her up to place her on his lap.

"It's alright!"

With Kyoto Entertainment as her backer, she has long since established herself in the entertainment industry.

In the past few months, she has also taken on guest roles in some of the company's projects.

Compared to her previous life, Zhao Liying's life in this life has been incredibly smooth. She debuted as the leading actress, and the drama "The Starry Night" propelled her into the ranks of second-tier actresses.

Then, the TV series "Boss & Me" solidified her current status.

"How's your training at the Beijing Film Academy going? Has your acting improved?"

Lin Bufan knew that the reason why Zhao Liying became so popular in later generations was largely due to the years she struggled and persevered.

Now, Xiao Zhao is at his peak right from the start.

In terms of acting skills, it can even be said to be very average. Fortunately, the roles of Xia Zhixing in "My Lucky Star" and Xue Shanshan in "Boss & Me" did not require high levels of acting skills.

Even so, Zhao Liying barely managed to get the filming done.

After that, Lin Bufan stopped preparing projects for her because without acting skills, she wouldn't go far.

The roles the company asked her to play were all ones that required acting skills, and were intended to hone her acting abilities.

In addition, Lin Bufan found her a professional acting teacher and also got her into the Beijing Film Academy, where she could study with the students of the class of 07.

However, she was an unofficial staff member, only attending classes as part of the school's staff, and did not have a formal academic record at the school.

"It's good, Teacher Huang is a nice person."

Zhao Liying nodded.

Of course, that goes without saying, considering who Lin Bufan is now.

He's an internationally renowned director, and a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy. Although when he was studying at the Beijing Film Academy, few of the school leaders and professors really treated him badly.

This is why Lin Bufan has basically not given back to his alma mater after becoming famous.

His success was brought to him by the system; the school provided him with virtually no support.

However, the school still gave Lin Bufan a lot of face. Of course, Lin Bufan didn't say anything, even though the Beijing Film Academy often promoted him to increase the academy's reputation.

Now, Lin Bufan is only sending Zhao Liying to audit the class, and Beijing Film Academy is naturally giving him that face.

As for how good Huang Xiaochu is to Zhao Liying, that's obvious.

In the entire entertainment industry, everyone knows that Zhao Liying was promoted by Lin Bufan. As for their relationship, does it even need to be said?

"Oh, right, Boss, Teacher Huang said he'd like to invite you to his house for dinner when you have time," Zhao Liying suddenly remembered and looked at Lin Bufan.

Since filming "Boss & Me", Zhao Liying has been calling Lin Bufan "BOSS".

In Zhao Liying's heart, Lin Bufan was her true love, her real "Feng Teng," well, he was just a little fickle.

"That Chef Huang!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bufan shook his head slightly.

From the very first moment Lin Bufan met him, he had been saying this, but Lin Bufan had no time to deal with him.

Unexpectedly, he has now adopted a roundabout strategy, inviting him through Zhao Liying.
