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

The Hundred Flowers Awards are one of the three major awards in China, and this year, Lin Bufan personally attended, making it an even larger-scale event.

Even the Golden Rooster Awards, which has long surpassed the Hundred Flowers Awards, doesn't have the same momentum as the Hundred Flowers Awards today.

The Hundred Flowers Awards are one of the three major Chinese music awards, while the Golden Rooster Awards are one of the three major Chinese music awards, holding a higher status.

At 5 p.m., Yu Entai and Li Mi, the red carpet hosts, appeared as a male and female duo.

Yu Entai is the actor who played Lü Xiucai in "My Own Swordsman", while Li Mi is a newly launched host on the movie channel.

Their abilities are beyond question.

"Now, let's welcome the cast and crew of 'Crazy Stone' to the stage..."

By this time, the red carpet was already surrounded by reporters from various media outlets and fans.

It's rare to see Ning Hao wearing a suit today, instead of his usual big gold chain.

Following Ning Hao were the original cast and crew, including Huang Bo.

……

Lin Bufan sat in the last car, listening to the sounds coming from ahead.

Besides "Black Coal, Thin Ice" being a strong contender for this year's Hundred Flowers Awards, there are several other films vying for awards.

For example, Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" was a very successful film in terms of both box office and critical acclaim.

CJ7, directed by Zhou Xingchi, did not have a very high box office, but it received very good reviews.

In particular, Stephen Chow himself starred in the film and portrayed the minor characters very well.

Director Yin Li's "The Knot", Uncle Gao Qun's "Tokyo Trial", the crew of "The Warlords", and the crew of "Rob-B-Hood".

Speaking of the movie "Rob-B-Hood", Gao Yuanyuan was even nominated for Best Actress.

However, Gao Yuanyuan was unable to attend because she is currently pregnant.

Finally, when Liang Jiahui, Gui Lunmei, Liao Fan, and Yu Ailei walked the red carpet representing the cast and crew of "Black Coal, Thin Ice," all the media reporters and fans present went wild with cheers.

"Black Coal, Thin Ice" won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival, making it a strong contender for this year's Hundred Flowers Awards.

When the Hundred Flowers Awards announced that "Black Coal, Thin Ice" was leading the nominations with six awards, including Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Newcomer, it caused quite a stir online.

Unfortunately, photographer Chen's photos were exposed at the time, stealing the spotlight from the incident.

Several months have now passed.

The hottest storm in the case of Lao Chen's photos has long since passed.

Online, people have seen many rare glimpses of female celebrities, but in reality, many other female stars in the Hong Kong entertainment circle have also been photographed.

Lin Bufan was also mentioned by Mani Fok. She didn't say the specific name, but only that several people personally found the other party and bought the photos from him at a high price.

In fact, the decline of Hong Kong's entertainment circle began with the photo scandal.

In Mani Fok's words, if all the photos were exposed, the Hong Kong entertainment circle would not just be declining, but completely dead.

Celebrities in the entertainment industry must maintain a glamorous public image. They may be morally corrupt in private, but they absolutely cannot be proven guilty.

Rumors are just rumors. Fans and viewers can comfort themselves with many excuses, such as negative information released by rivals.

But if it's confirmed, then it's all over.

Now, whenever people mention the Hong Kong entertainment circle, they think of the photo scandal.

Don't assume that it will only affect the few people in the photo; in fact, some people who are not in the photo have a greater impact.

For example, Nicholas Tse.

Cecilia Cheung is his wife, yet she appeared in the photo. How could this not cause discussion?

What's even more infuriating is that less than three months after Nicholas Tse publicly supported Cecilia Cheung, on a plane, Cecilia Cheung went up to Chen Kaige and took a photo with him.

This is practically treating Xiaofeng like a live turtle; no man would tolerate this any longer.

Lin Bufan heard that Xiaofeng is currently discussing divorce with Zhang Baizhi, which involves the division of some property.

In her past life, Cecilia Cheung used her two children to create a so-called "good mother" persona for herself, and then returned to the public eye, which almost completely rehabilitated her image.

……

"How did you end up as my date?"

Lin Bufan turned to look at Zhang Zilin sitting next to him, with a mixture of curiosity and doubt.

"The organizing committee contacted me and asked me to be your date, so I came," Zhang Zilin explained softly, smiling at Lin Bufan.

In fact, she took the initiative to contact the organizing committee.

I had to rely on a lot of connections to get this opportunity.

In the entertainment industry, countless female celebrities have longed to walk the red carpet with Lin Bufan but have never had the chance.

What Zhang Zilin didn't know was that if the organizing committee hadn't considered the recent rumors circulating online about her relationship with Lin Bufan, making people think she and Lin Bufan were boyfriend and girlfriend, she definitely wouldn't have been chosen as the female companion.

Despite being a so-called Miss World champion, her fame in the entertainment industry can only be described as comparable to a top-tier third-tier celebrity, barely reaching the popularity of a second-tier female star.

It remains to be seen whether she will continue to appear in the public eye and whether she will have any actual works to support her; otherwise, it will just be a flash in the pan.

Clearly, she had thought things through what Shen Xiuying had told her last time. Rather than being misunderstood, she decided to make the charade real and change her reputation first.

"Yes, you're so beautiful!"

Lin Bufan glanced at Zhang Zilin's long legs, but didn't think much of the rest.

He was busy filming every day and didn't pay any attention to the news online. Moreover, those rumors had no effect on Lin Bufan at all.

Even the company's public relations department saw the news online, but since it had nothing to do with Lin Bufan, they simply let it go.

Naturally, this was not reported to the secretariat, and Zhang Tian'ai, unaware of it, was unable to report it to Lin Bufan.

"Next, let's welcome the world-class director, Director Lin Bufan!"

Yu Entai held the microphone in his hand, his voice trembling with excitement.

Before me, no director had ever received the honor of being called a "world-class director".

Just now, the media reporters and fans were wondering why Lin Bufan didn't come with the "Black Coal, Thin Ice" crew who had already gone inside.

Now, after hearing this introduction, I realize that Lin Bufan and "Black Coal, Thin Ice" went in two separate groups.

When the car stopped, Lin Bufan opened the door and got out, amidst the roar of the wind and the constant flashing of lights.

"please!"

Lin Bufan stood aside in a very gentlemanly manner, looking at Zhang Zilin as she extended her arm.

"Um!"

Zhang Zilin stepped out of the car with a sweet smile, took Lin Bufan's arm, and leaned slightly towards him, showing that the two were very close.
