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

Why?

Even after leaving the building, Chen Kun still couldn't understand what he had done wrong to Lin Bufan.

At the same time, just as Chen Kun left, Nie Yuan and Tong Dawei exchanged a glance, then quickly lowered their heads and took out their phones to edit a text message.

"Director Lin, hello, my name is Huang Xiaoming."

Led by Zhu Yawen, Huang Xiaoming entered the audition room.

"Where's the script? You have ten minutes to prepare."

Lin Bufan nodded slightly to Huang Xiaoming.

Regardless of how future generations evaluate Huang Xiaoming, he was a person with very high emotional intelligence, had a lot of connections in the industry, and knew how to handle things.

"Okay, Director Lin."

Huang Xiaoming nodded and picked up the script from the side to begin studying it carefully.

He only had ten minutes, and he had to quickly read through the script to try and land the role.

Huang Xiaoming has acted in movies before, but he has only played minor roles and has never played a leading role. Moreover, this movie is a big production with an investment of 60 million.

In the current domestic film market, there are very few films that gross over 60 million yuan, let alone films with an investment of up to 60 million yuan.

Moreover, this movie was directed by Lin Bufan.

"Time's up, let's begin."

When the time came, Lin Bufan reminded Huang Xiaoming.

"Okay, Director Lin."

Huang Xiaoming took a deep breath and began his performance.

After watching Huang Xiaoming's performance, Lin Bufan frowned slightly. He realized that Huang Xiaoming was still a little short of the character he had in mind.

"I'm sorry, this role isn't suitable for you."

After considering for three seconds, Lin Bufan looked at Huang Xiaoming and shook his head.

"Sorry to bother you, Director Lin."

Huang Xiaoming was somewhat disappointed, but he still bowed respectfully to Lin Bufan before turning to leave.

It has to be said that since Huang Xiaoming appeared, apart from his acting skills, his personality and conduct have made people feel very comfortable.

No wonder the other person is so popular in the entertainment industry.

Seeing Huang Xiaoming come out looking disappointed, Nie Yuan and Tong Dawei were overjoyed.

This proves that they still have a chance.

Following that, Nie Yuan and Tong Dawei went to audition one after the other, but both ended up failing.

"Bufan, what do we do now?"

Dong Xuan turned to look at Lin Bufan.

It's already 4 PM. After auditioning all day, including the four most popular young actors, both old and new, Lin Bufan hasn't found any of them suitable.

In one day, only one male supporting character, Xie Miao, was approved.

"Boss!"

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

"What is it?"

Lin Bufan looked up at Bai Bing.

"Ms. Huo Wenxi, Emperor Entertainment's agent, has arrived."

Huo Wenxi is considered a legendary figure in the agent industry.

Wang Jinghua from mainland China, and Huo Wenxi from Hong Kong.

Compared to Wang Jinghua, Huo Wenxi has a greater advantage: she is more beautiful.

"Take her to the meeting room."

Lin Bufan looked at Bai Bing and nodded slightly.

"Okay, boss."

After Bai Bing left, Lin Bufan looked at Dong Xuan and Zhu Yawen and said, "That concludes today's audition. I'll reconsider the male lead role."

"Let's have dinner together tonight."

"You two go eat, I have an appointment, so I'll be leaving now."

After glancing at his watch, Zhu Yawen bid farewell to Lin Bufan.

He didn't want to stay and be a third wheel for Lin Bufan and Dong Xuan.

"Okay, let's have dinner together again next time."

Lin Bufan nodded without saying anything more, then turned to Dong Xuan and said, "Go to my office and wait for me."

"Um!"

Dong Xuan nodded.

She knew that when men were doing important things, she shouldn't interfere or cause trouble.

……

"When you see Director Lin later, remember to greet him, understand? Have some manners."

Inside the reception room, Huo Wenxi looked at Xie Tingfeng with a serious expression.

Emperor Entertainment spared no effort in cultivating Nicholas Tse, which resulted in his rather flamboyant personality.

However, this is not Hong Kong, but the mainland.

And the person I'm going to meet next is a famous director from mainland China.

Her purpose in coming to see the other party this time was not only to recommend Xie Tingfeng to them, but more importantly, she was instructed by Boss Yang to come and prepare to discuss cooperation with Lin Bufan.

"I understand, Mani."

Nicholas Tse sat to the side, nodding casually and indifferently.

He's met and worked with many big directors before. Lin Bufan is even younger than him. He just made a movie that grossed over 200 million. Maybe he was just lucky.

Moreover, in Nicholas Tse's view, his base of support is in Hong Kong Island, not in mainland China, so why should he bother to curry favor with the other party?

"Never mind, you'd better not say anything later."

Seeing Xie Tingfeng's state, Huo Wenxi was still worried and ultimately told him to speak less or even not speak at all.

In reality, Nicholas Tse didn't harbor any ill intentions. It's just that he had had a smooth journey without experiencing any setbacks, and he still retained some of his youthful impetuosity.

For example, he now has a pretty good relationship with photographer Chen, and they call each other brothers.

The two often drank together, sometimes at his house, and when they got drunk, they would just sleep there without any suspicion.

Huo Wenxi had repeatedly warned Xie Tingfeng not to get too close to photographer Chen.

"Miss Huo!"

Just then, Lin Bufan pushed open the door and walked into the reception room. He greeted Huo Wenxi and Xie Tingfeng with a smile.

"Director Lin!"

"Director Lin!"

Huo Wenxi and Xie Tingfeng stood up and greeted Lin Bufan.

Although Nicholas Tse disdained currying favor with the other party, he at least maintained basic manners.

"Please have a seat!"

Lin Bufan nodded slightly, sat down opposite the two, and asked with a smile.

"Miss Huo, what brings you here this time?"

"To be honest, Director Lin, I'm here on behalf of my boss to discuss a collaboration with you, Mr. Lin."

After Lin Bufan sat down, Huo Wenxi and Xie Tingfeng sat down and explained their purpose.

"cooperate?"

Lin Bufan shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry, the investors for my movie have already been decided."

"Director Lin, you've misunderstood."

Huo Wenxi shook his head slightly, then smiled and said, "The collaboration I'm referring to is the movie 'Love is Not Blind'."

"Oh?"

Lin Bufan looked at Huo Wenxi, waiting for him to continue.

"If Director Lam agrees, Emperor Entertainment is willing to take charge of the distribution of 'Love is Not Blind' in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and throughout Southeast Asia."

The film "Love is Not Blind" was pulled from theaters in mainland China after only one month of release, and has not yet been shown in Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Southeast Asia, simply due to distribution issues.

Emperor Entertainment Group has the resources to distribute "Love is Not Blind" throughout Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.

"What are Boss Yang's conditions?"

Lin Bufan thought for a moment and looked at Huo Wenxi.

The movie "Love is Not Blind" was released in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, but its box office performance is not expected to be very good, as the subject matter limits its appeal.

When Yang Shoucheng sent Huo Wenxi to discuss the release of "Heartbreak" at this time, his real intention was definitely not what it seemed.
