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

"You're going to Los Angeles tomorrow, right?"

Lin Bufan held Liu Yifei in his arms.

Just yesterday, Liu Yifei came to visit the set. During this period, she has been trying to handle some company affairs under Liu Xiaoli's supervision.

In Liu's mother's words, "If you, as a mother, can't even handle company affairs, how will you teach your children in the future?"

"Um!"

Liu Yifei nodded and looked up at Lin Bufan slightly: "At that time, I won't be able to go back to China for more than half a month again."

The Hunger Games has been scheduled for release on September 15th.

Today is the 12th, and the movie will be released in three days. Liu Yifei is the lead actress in this film.

She will definitely be there during the movie's promotional period.

With the release of "The Hunger Games," the entire Extraordinary Film Company was working feverishly.

Even outsiders are anticipating it, including stock market investors.

Since Extraordinary Film Company went public, its films have consistently boosted box office revenue with each release, although the revenue may decline later.

However, the stock market is all about buying expectations.

The stock price of Extraordinary Film Company has now risen to $21.22 per share. Although the increase is not large, it is still rising.

Clearly, with the release of a new film from Extraordinary Film Company, some stock market investors with a gambling mentality have already begun to quietly enter the market.

Currently, Extraordinary Film Company has split its share capital fourfold, bringing its total share capital to 4 million.

Based on a price of $21.22 per share, the market capitalization has reached a staggering $84 billion.

The Hunger Games movie originally grossed $6800 million on its opening day and over $6.78 million worldwide.

However, the original Hunger Games stars Europeans and Americans.

Now that Liu Yifei has taken over as the lead actress, even Lin Bufan doesn't know if it will have any impact on the box office.

"This time, the company has allocated fifty million US dollars for publicity. I estimate you'll be doing promotional work for the next month." Lin Bufan looked at Liu Yifei and smiled helplessly.

There was nothing he could do.

Because she was the lead actress, and with the increased funding for publicity, the originally planned two-week promotional period was extended to a full month.

Although the stock price increase of a company due to the release of a movie generally does not last beyond the release period, the stock price may start to gradually decline midway through the release.

However, the total box office revenue of a movie will also affect the increase in the company's stock price when the movie is released next time.

"I understand, don't worry, I'm not that kind of delicate girl!"

Liu Yifei held her head high, looking proud.

"Yeah?"

A wicked smile crept across Lin Bufan's lips. After speaking, he launched a sneak attack on his opponent.

"ah!"

Liu Yifei gasped in surprise.

……

The next morning, Lin Bufan personally drove Liu Yifei to the Qinhuangdao airport.

His private jet had been waiting for a long time.

The flight route issue has already been applied for with the Civil Aviation Administration, and since it is a direct flight, it does not need to pass through the airspace of other countries, so there is naturally no need to apply for transit.

"Give me a call when you arrive."

Lin Bufan stepped forward, kissed Liu Yifei on the forehead, and looked at her with a gentle expression.

She was the girl who made Lin Bufan's heart flutter the most.

"Okay, I understand."

Liu Yifei nodded, walked up the boarding stairs, and waved to Lin Bufan.

Lin Bufan watched the plane take off before driving back.

"Feed?"

While I was driving, a phone call rang.

"husband!"

Wan Qian's voice came through the phone.

"Qianqian, what's wrong?"

Lin Bufan asked questions while driving.

"Honey, I'm pregnant!"

Wan Qian stood at the hospital entrance, holding the report in her hand, her face beaming with joy.

"real?"

Lin Bufan was quite pleased to hear this.

For ordinary people, having more children means a greater burden and less happiness, but Lin Bufan is different.

He has so much money that he could never spend it all in several lifetimes, as long as his children don't squander it.

In the future, his vast business empire will certainly need someone to inherit it.

No one can guarantee that a qualified successor can be cultivated if there are only one or two heirs.

However, with more children, the margin for error is also higher.

"I……"

Lin Bufan was about to say, "I'm coming to see you right now," when he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Honey, you don't need to come back. I'm not that delicate now, and besides, Hao Lei is with me. Don't worry, everything will be fine." Wan Qian's face was full of smiles.

She would indeed be very happy if Lin Bufan came back to see her.

However, she knew even more how important the movie "Guixu: The Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas" was to Lin Bufan.

It's not a big deal, she's just pregnant, and it won't take Lin Bufan's return for a few days.

After Wan Qian repeatedly said no, Lin Bufan had no choice but to suppress his desire to go back and be with her.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Bufan thought for a moment, and while waiting at a red light, he made a call directly to Wang Mingliang.

"Chairman!"

The phone had only rung twice when Wang Mingliang, who was in a meeting, saw the word "Chairman" on his phone screen and immediately picked up the phone to answer it.

What new projects does the company have recently?

Lin Bufan asked directly.

"Chairman, the company is currently preparing three projects: 'The Message,' 'Painted Skin 2,' and 'Painted Wall,'" Wang Mingliang answered directly.

Has the female lead for "The Message" been cast yet?

"not yet!"

Wang Mingliang shook his head.

In the original version, the female lead was played by Li Bingbing, but it's impossible for Li Bingbing to take on this role now.

"You should personally communicate with Hao Lei and ask her if she is willing to take on the role of Li Ningyu."

Wan Qian was pregnant, and Hao Lei had been busy taking care of her. Perhaps it was out of friendship, but Lin Bufan couldn't ignore it.

The female lead in "The Message" is Lin Bufan's way of repaying her kindness.

"By the way, when is filming for 'The Message' expected to begin?"

Lin Bufan suddenly remembered.

"Filming will likely begin at the end of this year or early next year!"

Wang Mingliang estimated the time needed, as there were many scenes that needed to be set up on-site, and the props would need to be prepared for some time.

"Okay, go and communicate with them!"

After Lin Bufan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

As for asking about the start date, it's best to avoid scheduling it at the same time. Wan Qian is currently pregnant, and having her best friend by her side makes her feel more at ease.
