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

"Who does he think he is?"

On Huayi Brothers' side, Wang Zhonglei looked rather grim as he listened to the busy tone on the phone.

Over the years, Wang Zhonglei's status in the industry has been almost like that of an emperor; who would dare to disobey him?

He only cooperated with Lin Bufan because of the latter's talent; in reality, he didn't think much of him.

He's just an ordinary person, with some talent, so what?

Don't forget, this is China. Talent isn't everything; power is everything.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Hearing the commotion, Wang Zhongjun walked over and looked at his younger brother with a puzzled expression.

"Just now……"

Wang Zhonglei didn't hide anything and told his older brother everything that had just happened.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

Give me the phone!

Wang Zhongjun thought for a moment, then reached out to look at Wang Zhonglei.

After receiving the call, Wang Zhongjun immediately dialed Lin Bufan's cell phone.

"Director Lin, this is Wang Zhongjun."

After the call was connected, Wang Zhongjun immediately identified himself and then apologized: "My brother was really too reckless just now. On his behalf, I apologize to you."

Compared to the reckless Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhongjun understood Huayi Brothers' current predicament better. If Lin Bufan really withdrew his investment from Huayi Brothers, it would be a huge blow to the company.

"Mr. Wang, there's no need to say anything more. My philosophy differs from Huayi Brothers'. Let's part ways amicably!"

Lin Bufan has made up his mind to withdraw his investment from Huayi Brothers.

Perhaps, by holding shares in Huayi Brothers, one can definitely earn billions of yuan after the company goes public.

But these billions won't be realized for at least 12 years, which is 6 years from now. Even if he doesn't make movies or start a company during these 6 years, just his daily check-ins alone will amount to more than billions.

Money is most important when you don't have it, but once you exceed a certain amount, it's just a number. It's useful, but you can't control it.

"Director Lin, I can withdraw my investment in Huayi Brothers, but Chen Zihan must come tonight."

Wang Zhongjun seemed to have already guessed Lin Bufan's thoughts, so he didn't try to persuade him further and instead brought up Chen Zihan's matter.

"What if I don't agree?"

"If you don't agree, Huayi Brothers will blacklist her starting today."

Wang Zhongjun's tone was firm.

Tonight's dinner is of great importance to Huayi Brothers, or rather to the brothers themselves. He had heard that Director Liu would be promoted to the second-in-command of the State Administration of Radio and Television in the next term.

In the entertainment industry, whether you run a company or are a celebrity, no one can escape the management of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

If you really offend the other party, even if they just mention it once in a meeting, the company could suffer a severe blow.

Conversely, if someone has powerful backers, the script review process becomes much easier, and even slightly explicit scripts might pass the review.

In Wang Zhongjun's mind, Lin Bufan was very important, but he couldn't think of anything else; getting close to Director Liu was more important.

"I'm waiting!"

After saying that, Lin Bufan hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Bufan looked at Chen Zihan: "How much longer do you have left on your contract with Huayi Brothers?"

"Three and a half years left."

Chen Zihan looked helpless.

I signed a five-year contract with Huayi Brothers, and only a year and a half has passed.

If Huayi Brothers is determined not to terminate her contract, they will have no choice but to file a lawsuit, but this process is extremely time-consuming.

If the other party is determined to drag it out, they can do so for three years. Even if they ultimately lose the case, she can forget about filming for the next few years. Her contract is with Huayi Brothers, and as long as Huayi Brothers doesn't agree, she can't take on any roles. If she does film, she will be in breach of contract.

"Honey, I want to switch to working behind the scenes..."

After a three-second silence, Chen Zihan looked up at Lin Bufan and said earnestly, "Actually, I've wanted to switch to behind-the-scenes work for a long time, but I haven't been able to make up my mind until now. This time has finally given me the determination to do so."

Born in 75, she is now 31 years old, which is no longer young for a woman.

In particular, among Lin Bufan's women, she was almost the oldest, if not the oldest.

Undeniably, she is beautiful, and Lin Bufan gave her a beauty and skin-nourishing pill. After taking it, her skin did indeed become more and more hydrated, smooth, and delicate.

But as I said before, she's getting old, and she's never really been a big star in the industry... no, that's not right. You could say she's just not popular, she only has a little bit of fame.

How many more years of youth can a woman have left?

If she didn't want to be eliminated from the entertainment industry, the only way was to move behind the scenes. This was a decision she made after much consideration.

"What do you want to do?"

Lin Bufan looked at Chen Zihan, and there are many kinds of behind-the-scenes stories.

"I want to be a producer."

Chen Zihan stared intently at Lin Bufan.

She wanted to be a producer, but she didn't want the distance between her and Lin Bufan to grow too great, and besides, being a producer herself would also help him.

"good!"

Lin Bufan nodded: "I'll take you to the company tomorrow and have someone train you first. From now on, you'll be my producer."

"Really?"

Chen Zihan looked at Lin Bufan with a surprised and delighted expression: "Honey, aren't you afraid I'll cause you trouble or hold you back?"

"What are you afraid of? You're my woman!"

Lin Bufan chuckled and looked at Chen Zihan: "Besides, I believe in you, you can definitely do it well."

"Honey, don't worry, I'll definitely do a good job."

Chen Zihan looked at him with a determined expression.

……

"Xiao Bai, go now..."

Lin Bufan watched Chen Zihan go into the bathroom to wash up, then immediately took out his phone and called Bai Bing.

"Boss, are we really going to do this?"

Bai Bing was stunned when she received Lin Bufan's call.

Go!

After saying that, Lin Bufan hung up the phone.

Not long after Lin Bufan hung up the phone, a piece of news caused a sensation across the entire internet and the entertainment industry.

The incident stemmed from a statement released by Kyoto Entertainment.

The content is long, but also simple. The general meaning is that from now on, Kyoto Entertainment will not use artists from Huayi Brothers in its film and television projects.

In other words, Kyoto Entertainment wants to blacklist Huayi Brothers.

"Bang! How dare he...?"

In the chairman's office of Huayi Brothers, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei both had extremely grim expressions, their faces so dark they seemed to drip water.

The two brothers were still thinking about how to make Lin Bufan give in. He could withdraw his investment, but he had to send Chen Zihan over.

However, unexpectedly, the other party suddenly decided to blacklist Huayi Brothers.

Even when Wang Jinghua led most of the artists to leave Huayi Brothers, she didn't dare to offend Huayi Brothers like this.

"Mr. Wang, many reporters have arrived outside, wanting to conduct interviews..."

Just then, Wang Zhongjun's secretary knocked on the door and came in, cautiously reporting.
