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

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. But then, Extraordinary Pictures announced the launch of "Night at the Museum," with an estimated investment of over 100 million US dollars.

The lead actor is Casey Affleck, the same Oscar-winning actor who knelt before Lin Bufan in public at the Golden Globes.

What has attracted the most attention domestically is that the director's name is Chen Kaige, who just finished directing the terrible film "The Promise".

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but recall the photos taken by reporters when Lin Bufan appeared at the Mei family banquet with Chen Kaige and his wife.

At the time, neither Lin Bufan nor Chen Kaige and his wife responded to the public.

In addition, there wasn't any explosive news at the time, so no one thought much of it.

Looking back now, Chen Kaige was definitely able to direct "Night at the Museum" because of his relationship with Lin Bufan.

At the same time that Extraordinary Pictures announced this news, Chen Kaige and his wife accepted an interview with reporters early in the morning, announcing that they would soon be heading to Los Angeles to direct this Hollywood blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million US dollars.

As for the fact that Chen Kaige only had the right to film, but not the right to edit or modify, he certainly wouldn't say that.

"This Chen Kaige actually managed to direct a Hollywood film with a budget of over 100 million US dollars through his connection with Lin Bufan..."

Domestic directors are all getting their minds working.

Whether you're an actor or a director, who doesn't want to be famous?

The reason why Lin Bufan, a new director, has such a high status in the industry is because his first commercial film topped the domestic box office record, while his first art film also won him the Oscar for Best Director.

This is unique in the whole country, just like Chen Kaige's Golden Palm.

The two news items mentioned above only involved industry insiders. However, Feifan Pictures then announced another piece of news, not the film project, but the names of its shareholders, among which Lin Bufan's name was prominently featured.

Of course, this list is for outsiders to see. The rest of the names represent shares held by Lin Bufan through offshore companies, and ultimately all of them belong to him.

Even so, it's still astonishing.

"No wonder Lin Bufan was able to direct 'Manchester by the Sea,' help Yang Mi land the lead role in 'Final Destination,' and get Chen Kaige a role in 'Night at the Museum,' a film with an investment of over 100 million US dollars."

Now everyone understood why Lin Bufan had such influence.

In the past, Extraordinary Pictures was relatively unknown, and even if Lin Bufan were to be announced as a shareholder, the outside world would not take it seriously.

Now, with the success of "Manchester by the Sea" and the ongoing release of "Lurking," Extraordinary Pictures has proven that it is not only capable of making art films, but also strong in the commercial film field.

Following closely behind were the announcements of two more films, "Final Destination" and "Night at the Museum," along with the previously ongoing animated film "Kung Fu Panda," all demonstrating Extraordinary Pictures' aggressive approach.

This news not only shocked the country, but also caused a sensation in Hollywood.

Extraordinary Pictures is not an ordinary independent production company, but a top-tier production company with its own distribution capabilities, capable of distributing films globally. Compared to the Hollywood Big Eight, it only lacks the foundation and experience.

"So, this is who he really is..."

When Fan Bingbing woke up in the morning, she saw one news report after another, and something called ambition began to take root and sprout in her heart.

Before today, Fan Bingbing had been considering whether or not to continue "increasing investment" in Lin Bufan, indicating that she already had second thoughts.

After all, Liu Yifei had already given birth to his child, and Lin Bufan had publicly acknowledged it.

But now, she is determined to stick to it.

It's just having a baby, right? We're all women, who can't give birth?

Fan Bingbing, who is also one of the two most beautiful actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry, sees Liu Yifei as a formidable rival, but not invincible.

Huayi Brothers announced that director Lin Bufan is the company's third-largest shareholder...

Just then, Fan Bingbing casually refreshed the webpage, and a new message popped up.

"Those two CEOs, they really know how to pick their timing..."

Upon seeing this news, Fan Bingbing was slightly taken aback, then a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

The news of Lin Bufan's investment in Huayi Brothers had already spread, and the fact that the two CEOs, Wang and Wang, are bringing it up again now is simply an attempt to ride the wave of popularity.

……

"woke up?"

Lin Bufan lay beside Liu Yifei, watching her eyelashes flutter slightly as she slowly opened her eyes, her voice soft.

Since Liu Yifei gave birth, her original youthful and delicate temperament has gained a touch of alluring mature woman charm, especially after she regained her figure.

"Um!"

Liu Yifei blinked, a happy smile appearing on her lips.

Once upon a time, she never imagined that one day she would wake up in a man's arms, or even give birth to a child.

But now...

However, if she were given another chance, she would still make the same choice.

"Will this have any impact on you from the media's perspective?"

While eating breakfast, Liu Yifei looked at Lin Bufan with some concern.

Don't worry, it won't have any impact.

Lin Bufan shook his head slightly.

He believed that Carter would not let him down, and that he had already given him instructions before returning home.

"Sissi, you..."

Shu Chang, still half-asleep with her eyes half-closed, walked to the dining table and sat down next to Liu Yifei. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed Lin Bufan across from her.

"Lin Bufan? When did you get back?"

Since Lin Bufan wasn't on the set of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate," filming naturally stopped, so Shu Chang stayed at Liu Yifei's house with her.

"Early this morning!"

As Lin Bufan spoke, he took a sip of porridge and looked at her with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"What kind of look is that?"

Shu Chang looked at Lin Bufan with some confusion.

"Changchang, do you want to go back and change your clothes first?"

Liu Yifei sighed and turned to look at Shu Chang with a helpless expression.

"ah!"

Shu Chang was stunned for a moment, then looked down at herself. In Lin Bufan's eyes, she was practically transparent.

During this time, she got used to the absence of men here, so she wore a sheer silk nightgown to bed every night, the kind that was semi-transparent.

As luck would have it, Shu Chang doesn't like being restrained, so she takes her clothes off every night before going to sleep.

She didn't know Lin Bufan would come back, so...

"The lotus buds are just beginning to emerge..."

Lin Bufan watched Shu Chang run away in a hurry and smiled slightly.

Although it's not big, it's still quite pretty.

"You're still looking..."

Liu Yifei gave Lin Bufan a charmingly coquettish look.

She didn't blame him for anything; it wasn't his fault. It was just that Shu Chang was too careless.

……

After Liu Yifei was settled, Lin Bufan left the villa and immediately called Dong Xuan.

"Feed?"

After the call was connected, it took a long time for Dong Xuan's voice to come through the phone.

"What is it?"

Dong Xuan's voice was somewhat hoarse.

"wait for me!"

Lin Bufan frowned slightly, hung up the phone, and drove his Land Rover towards the Xiangshan Villa.

From Dong Xuan's hoarse voice, Lin Bufan could tell that she must have been crying for a long time, otherwise her voice wouldn't be so hoarse.
