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

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Daily check-in successful. You have received the following rewards: 100 million US dollars, 100 points, and one Energy Pill.]

During a break in filming, Lin Bufan checked in for the day.

As usual, Lin Bufan put the Energy Pill directly into a wooden box and then placed it into the dimensional space.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in for the Mid-Autumn Festival and have received a Mid-Autumn Festival gift pack as a reward.]

"Holiday Check-in!"

Lin Bufan glanced at his phone. Today was September 14th, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The rest of the country is on holiday, but the film crew is still shooting non-stop.

Since the system upgrade, the rewards for signing in during every holiday have never disappointed Lin Bufan.

"System, open the holiday gift pack!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have opened the Mid-Autumn Festival gift pack and received the reward: Cough Medicine Recipe *1]

"Cough medicine formula?"

Lin Bufan was a little curious, since there were so many cough medicines on the market.

Like cold medicine, this drug has a huge market, but because all pharmaceutical companies are pretty much the same, they are all vying for profits.

Lin Bufan wasn't a professional, so naturally he couldn't understand the formula for this medicine.

However, the efficacy of this formula is still described on the side.

According to what is said above, this medicine has a very strong cough-suppressing effect. It is taken three times a day. The cough can be relieved after the first dose and can be completely stopped within a day. It also has a certain effect of clearing and strengthening the lungs.

Generally speaking, most coughs are caused by lung problems, but bronchitis can also be a contributing factor.

This formula is mainly for treating coughs caused by lung problems; however, it is only very effective for coughs caused by tracheal inflammation.

"It's alright. Although there are limitations, it's still considered a 'miracle drug'."

Lin Bufan nodded in satisfaction.

It's normal for there to be limitations. If there were no limitations and it could treat any kind of cough, then the medicine would be too miraculous and completely defy scientific logic.

On the contrary, this medicine is now very effective in treating coughs caused by lung problems.

"We will release the formula to the public after Jinma Pharmaceuticals has acquired the entire company."

Lin Bufan believed that the release of the formula would definitely stimulate a surge in the stock market.

Of course, bringing a new drug to market requires many complex steps, and the entire process can take at least a year.

If things go slowly, it could take two or three years.

……

"Tian'ai, what dishes are served in the cafeteria today?"

After finishing a day of filming, Lin Bufan called Zhang Tianai over.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional Chinese festival and a day for family reunion.

The crew of "Guixu: The Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas" did not have a holiday because they were rushing to film. The entire crew consisted of nearly 200 people.

"Boss, this is today's menu from the cafeteria..."

As Zhang Tianai spoke, she found the menu and handed it to Lin Bufan.

"good!"

Lin Bufan glanced at the recipe.

As is customary, each person receives one bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, and each table is served with a king crab, a steamed grouper, crispy roast chicken, Dongpo pork, and braised pigeon...

Ten people per table, twenty tables in total, with each table prepared at a standard cost of ten thousand yuan.

This isn't a hotel, so the 10,000 yuan standard is the actual purchase price, compared to the standard of over 30,000 yuan per table in a five-star hotel.

"Okay, that's all for now!"

Lin Bufan was quite satisfied with the menu.

Everyone followed him through wind and rain, and it just so happened to be a holiday. Lin Bufan has never been a stingy person.

It seems like a high standard, but in reality, the total cost was only 200,000 yuan, which is just a drop in the bucket compared to the entire production team.

"Yes, boss!"

"Oh, and make a copy of the menu and distribute it to everyone. Also, tell everyone that dinner is at 8 PM!"

"Yes, boss!"

When the menu was handed out, the entire crew cheered.

"Long live the director!!"

"Director Lin is awesome!"

"This is the most extravagant film crew I've ever seen!"

The extras in the film crew were all excited.

The current rate for extras is about 80 yuan per person per day, but Lin Bufan's crew offered 200 yuan per person, almost three times the price.

Of course, the requirements are also very high, especially in terms of acting skills, which are also somewhat demanding.

These extras were selected from among the best extras.

These extras, if they're with other film crews, even have to pay for their own boxed lunches. They're not expensive; a boxed lunch costs anywhere from 5 to 10 yuan.

Once you arrive here, they provide three meals a day, and even accommodation is included.

For these extras, this was simply a dream come true. They never expected to be included in the holiday feast, and with such a high standard of meals at that.

"Director Lin said we can only eat after this scene is finished today. As for when we can eat, that's up to everyone." The group leader stood among the extras and shouted loudly to the people below.

"Everyone needs to be extra careful later. Anyone who messes up will be in big trouble!"

Unlike other directors, Lin Bufan doesn't have high requirements for extras.

He has very high standards for extras. Sometimes, if the actors pass a scene but the extras don't, it's not acceptable.

So often, a common occurrence is that when filming a scene, the shot gets stuck on the extras.

Fortunately, there weren't many of these shots, otherwise it would have definitely delayed the filming.

With the 'feast' as a lure, everyone was highly motivated to film today, putting in their best effort.

As a result, what was originally expected to be around 6:30 today was finished before 5 o'clock.

"As expected, a generous reward will surely bring forth brave men!"

Lin Bufan chuckled and shook his head.

"Tian'ai, make a note of this!"

Zhang Tianai hurriedly took out paper and pen.

"Starting tomorrow, the best-performing extras will receive an extra 500 yuan each day!"

Since money can solve the problem, Lin Bufan is naturally not stingy with his money.

Moreover, even if each person receives 500 yuan, it would only cost a few hundred thousand yuan more over the course of a year, but the effect would be enormous.

Their daily wage is 200 yuan, but now if they perform well, they can earn an extra 500 yuan a day. Who wouldn't want that kind of money?

Moreover, it's not just about money. If you perform well, Director Lin will definitely notice. If you can attract Director Lin's attention, you might even become the next Wang Baoqiang.

"Mimi?"

After finishing a day of filming, Lin Bufan had just stepped into the RV to rest for a bit, as dinner was scheduled for 8 o'clock, which was still more than two hours away.

As soon as he opened the car door and stepped into the RV, he found Yang Mi standing prettily in front of him.
