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

Ultimately, the 78th Academy Awards concluded with "Crash" winning Best Picture.

At the Oscars banquet, Hollywood stars gathered, and Lin Bufan was arguably the most glamorous director of the night.

First, he won the Best Director Oscar this year, and second, he even produced an Oscar-winning actor with a single film.

"Director Lin Bufan, hello, I'm Li An."

After dealing with some Hollywood stars, Li An took the initiative to approach them.

"Director Li An, hello."

As Lin Bufan spoke, the two shook hands.

Compared to Hollywood, the two, both Chinese directors, appreciated each other even more after their conversation.

Li An had watched Lin Bufan's "Manchester by the Sea" and was quite impressed with some of the plot points and shots.

After a conversation, I was even more convinced of the other party's ideas, and I was also convinced that Lin Bufan was able to win the Oscar for Best Director because of his true strength.

Looking at Lin Bufan's youthful face, Li An felt a pang of sadness.

He had seen many geniuses, but Lin Bufan, who won the Best Director Award at such a young age, was truly one of a kind in the world.

After chatting, they exchanged phone numbers, and then Li An took his leave.

After Li An left, Lin Bufan glanced at the Hollywood stars at the banquet. None of the people who could interest her were there, so she also left first.

……

Let's go back to the moment Lin Bufan won the award.

The Academy Awards ceremony is not currently being broadcast in China, but that doesn't mean there aren't reporters here.

The moment Lin Bufan won the Oscar for Best Director, domestic reporters couldn't help but leave the venue first, just to be the first to send the news back to China.

So much so that within fifteen minutes of Lin Bufan receiving the award, all the major portal websites in China had updated the news.

"Sissi, Sissi...!"

At that moment, Shu Chang, who was at Liu Yifei's villa, saw the news online and immediately got up and rushed towards Liu Yifei's room.

"Shh, the child is sleeping!"

As soon as the door opened, Liu Yifei quickly covered Shu Chang's mouth and pulled her out of the room, asking, "What happened? What's wrong?"

"Good news! Lin Bufan has won the Oscar for Best Director."

Shu Chang excitedly shared the good news with Liu Yifei.

"real?"

Liu Yifei snatched the phone from Shu Chang's hand in an instant, and looking at the news on the portal website, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

"for you!"

As Liu Yifei spoke, she tossed Shu Chang's phone back to her, took out her own phone, and edited a congratulatory text message to send to Lin Bufan.

"Sissi, you could have just sent a text message to congratulate her, why didn't you call?"

Shu Chang looked at Liu Yifei with a puzzled expression.

"Changchang, are you stupid? The Oscars ceremony is definitely not over yet. Even if you call, Bufan won't be able to answer..." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Shu Chang.

They say pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, but she doesn't think she's stupid at all. On the contrary, it's her best friend in front of her who's a bit silly.

"Hehe, that's true..."

Shu Chang chuckled and sighed.

"From now on, Director Lin's position in mainland China will be unshakeable."

Before the Oscars, Lin Bufan was already among the top few directors in China. His film "Love is Not Blind" topped the box office, proving his strength as a commercial director.

"Manchester by the Sea" won the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture, proving that Lin Bufan can also make artistic and art-house films.

And now, this film has earned him the Oscar for Best Director.

Zhang Yimou has not yet taken the lead in the 08 Beijing Olympics, nor does he yet hold the title of "National Director."

Chen Kaige's film "The Promise" shattered the illusion surrounding him, a Palme d'Or winner.

From now on, Lin Bufan will be the number one director in China.

……

"Bang!"

Some are happy, some are sad.

Those who were close to Lin Bufan were naturally happy for her when she won the award.

However, those who had a grudge against him were not happy at this moment.

"Lin Bufan..."

In the chairman's office of Tongchan Group, Chen Jinfei smashed an antique vase worth hundreds of thousands of yuan in a fit of rage after learning that Lin Bufan had won an award.

Since Lin Bufan appeared, Chen Jinfei has found that nothing he does goes smoothly.

First, Liu Yifei became pregnant with his child, which made some of his unspeakable thoughts disappear.

His involvement also caused Liu Xiaoli and her daughter to become estranged from him.

After the release of "Love is Not Blind", Lin Bufan tricked him again, easily causing Liu Yifei to terminate her contract with Red Starwood.

During this period, things went very strangely, and the company's business development was very unsuccessful. In Chen Jinfei's view, it was all because of Lin Bufan.

Now, the other side has won the Oscar for Best Director.

"Since you've made my life difficult, I won't let you have it easy either..."

Chen Jinfei's expression was somewhat ferocious as he called his secretary in.

"Mr. Chen!"

"Go and do something right now."

……

[Shocking! The "Fairy Sister" is pregnant and has given birth; the father is suspected to be Oscar-winning director Lin Bufan...]

Just as news of Lin Bufan winning the Oscar for Best Director was rampant, a bombshell report from NetEase News shocked the entire nation.

"What? The fairy goddess is pregnant?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

Liu Yifei, the "Fairy Sister," is the dream of countless people, but now it's been revealed that she's pregnant. How can the public possibly accept this?

Moreover, if this is true, it would be considered premarital pregnancy.

Following suit, media outlets and portals such as Sohu and Sina quickly followed suit.

Discussions about it have also begun on blogs and forums.

Some experts, in particular, started calculating Liu Yifei's schedule during this period and discovered that her whereabouts in the past few months were actually nonexistent.

It's worth noting that Liu Yifei is currently a top-tier actress in China.

If nothing unexpected happens, how could there be no announcements or schedules for almost a year? That's absolutely impossible.

"Sissi, what do we do now?"

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were still celebrating Lin Bufan's award when the news was leaked online.

"Should we inform Lin Bufan?"

Shu Chang looked at Liu Yifei.

This matter could be a big or small one. If it's not handled properly, Liu Yifei's future acting career could be over, and even Lin Bufan would be affected.

"No need for now!"

Liu Yifei shook her head.

Telling Lin Bufan now is useless; he's abroad and has many things to do, so telling him won't help.

"Sissi!"

Just then, Liu Xiaoli pushed the door open and came in.

"Mother!"

Liu Yifei, who was initially a little uneasy, calmed down a bit.
