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

"Click!"

On the Weizhou Island film set, Lin Bufan held a walkie-talkie and shouted.

"Gong Li, watch your expression."

"Yes, Director!"

Gong Li nodded, looking somewhat tired.

In order to meet the tight schedule for filming "Guixu: The Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas", Lin Bufan naturally placed a great burden on the actors.

"Alright, let's rest for half an hour before filming again!"

Lin Bufan looked at the exhausted Gong Li, shook his head slightly, and put down the walkie-talkie.

"Boss, water!"

Zhang Tianai stepped forward with a water cup.

"We'll talk about it later!"

Lin Bufan waved his hand, walked out from behind the monitor, and came to Gong Li.

Looking at the other person with concern, she asked, "Are you alright?"

"fine!"

Gong Li looked at Lin Bufan, forced a smile, and shook her head.

How could nothing be wrong!

These past few nights, she hasn't dared to go to Lin Bufan, leaving him almost entirely to Zhang Tianai.

It's because I'm too tired.

It wasn't just her; the entire crew was quite exhausted.

Including assistant director Guo Fan, the crew members, the props team, the camera team, the lighting team, and all the actors, not one of them was not exhausted.

Lin Bufan had no choice; the weather was nice on Weizhou Island, and he needed to hurry up and film.

It's already July, and according to the filming schedule, we're supposed to go to Laojun Mountain for filming in August or September.

In October, the crew will move to Zhangjiajie for filming.

It is estimated that filming will take four months in Zhangjiajie, assuming no delays are allowed.

If he misses this window, many scenes might not be able to be filmed due to the scenery, but he still has a lot to do in the second half of the year.

The international film festival in Hong Kong is changing its leadership, and he will definitely have to make an appearance.

Domestically, this was his first time attending the Hundred Flowers Awards, and he couldn't miss it, especially since he would be taking on the role of vice chairman of the China Film Association at the end of the year; he definitely had to give them face.

In addition, he might attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony at the end of the year, but it's uncertain; he will go if he has time.

He himself doesn't care about these awards, but that doesn't mean the film's lead actors, supporting actors, and others don't care.

He cannot ignore the efforts of so many people in the entire crew because of his own selfishness.

Therefore, in order to keep up with the subsequent filming schedule, we now have to compress the time again and again.

"Heavenly Love!"

Thinking of this, Lin Bufan waved to Zhang Tianai, who was not far away.

"Boss!"

"Find a pot of water, dissolve this in it, and then everyone should drink a bowl."

Lin Bufan thought for a moment and took out an Energy Pill from his pocket.

If given to just one person, the drug would be too potent, and with so many people in the crew, it's really too extravagant.

However, if it is dissolved in water and each person drinks a bowl of water, the effect will be much weaker, but it will still have some effect.

"Yes, boss!"

Zhang Tianai took the pill and turned to leave.

"Director, what is that?"

Gong Li looked at Lin Bufan with some confusion.

"nice one!"

Lin Bufan shook his head slightly, offering no further explanation.

A dozen minutes later, after everyone had drunk the water diluted with the energy pills, they immediately felt refreshed.

The feeling of fatigue has also been greatly reduced.

While it won't have the same powerful effect as one person eating one, it's enough to restore some of everyone's energy.

"Action!"

Seeing that everyone was already in the zone, Lin Bufan didn't waste any more time and started filming right away.

……

Time passed slowly, while Lin Bufan was busy filming.

The date is July 15th.

This was the day that "Crazy Racer" was released.

It has been a long time since Ning Hao's last film, "Crazy Stone," so everyone was really looking forward to this movie when it was released.

With the previous film as a foundation, this film ultimately achieved a box office of 2400 million on its opening day.

Normally, a film's final box office is expected to be at least ten times its opening day box office.

Of course, I'm referring to movies with good reviews, not those that rely on gimmicks.

As for how far the movie "Crazy Racer" can ultimately go, that depends on how well its word-of-mouth develops.

However, Ning Hao's film is slightly inferior in quality to "Crazy Stone".

But the environment for its release is different now.

…………

This day was not only the release date of "Crazy Racer," but also the first day that Extraordinary Film Company's market value rose after a drop.

Extraordinary Film Company's market capitalization has plummeted from a peak of $128 billion to $52.39 per share yesterday.

This price has already been cut in half.

It can only be said that Extraordinary Film Company lacks the industry to support its stock price, otherwise it wouldn't have fallen so much.

Today, Bart Elvis began repurchasing shares as planned.

Strong Wind Investment Holdings has a number of fund companies with $15 billion available to acquire shares of Extraordinary Film Company at a minimum price of $53 per share.

In just one week, they repurchased 2100 million shares.

These 2100 million shares are almost equivalent to half of the Extraordinary Film Company's circulating shares.

According to common sense, a company's stock buyback program would definitely cause a significant increase in its stock price.

However, with precise control, the acquisition of so many shares was achieved at an average price of only $59.62 per share, costing a total of $1.252 billion.

The stock price of Extraordinary Film Company has now risen to $64.55 per share, with almost no significant change in price fluctuations.

Only when Extraordinary Film Company releases a film in the next round and achieves good box office results can the stock market be stimulated for another round of growth.

The next movie to be released is the second installment of the Twilight series, which will be released in August.

The entire Twilight series is currently filming its fourth installment, and one-third of the film has already been completed.

The second part has also been edited and is scheduled to be released on August 2nd, which is less than half a month away.
