In fact, Xu Fan had been keeping a close eye on the song's progress all day, and he was quite happy to see the download numbers steadily increasing.

Because he knew that in another parallel world, the song's popularity wasn't just due to the song itself, but also because of the story behind it.

Now, Frank has also written a story, a story specifically for the Kingdom of Gran, so this song has naturally become a hit.

Frank thanked him profusely before hanging up the phone.

Xu Fan stretched and went to the hospital.

Two days after Liao Fanxing informed Xu Fan of the filming schedule, the song "See You Aga" had been released overseas for a week, and Xu Fan also uploaded the song to Tencent Music in China.

At the same time, the story behind this song finally emerged in the country.

As a result, domestic listeners naturally flocked to the event.

Those who had heard Xu Fan's song "God is a Girl" before were even more excited to hear it again.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan had already arrived at the first filming location for the movie "Lost and Found".

Andy Lau had arrived quite early.

Upon seeing Xu Fan arrive, Andy Lau smiled and said, "Little Fan, are you sure you want to act opposite me?"

Xu Fan smiled sheepishly, took off his sun hat, and said, "I want to try it."

Andy Lau said earnestly from the side, "Trying it out isn't what a good actor should do. Since you want to be my partner, I have very high expectations for you. If you don't perform well, I'll be the first to object."

Xu Fan nodded seriously and said, "Brother Liu, you must give me some pointers when the time comes. If there are any shortcomings, please point them out."

Andy Lau smiled and said, "Of course."

The two chatted for a long time on set. Xu Fan frowned and asked, "Why aren't we filming yet?"

Andy Lau sneered and said, "It seems like he's waiting for someone."

"Waiting for someone?"

"A little girl who hasn't even grown her first hair yet, but she's got quite the airs. We've all been waiting for her here in this sweltering heat."

Andy Lau was clearly a little angry, and Xu Fan also frowned and said, "Could it be the actress who played that girl's mother?"

Andy Lau nodded and said, "This is also what I'm most disappointed with about Starry Night Pictures. They cast a young girl to play a mother in her thirties. Is fame more important than acting skills?"

Most importantly, it's her attitude. What kind of attitude is this? So many staff members are waiting for her, and she just doesn't show up.

A surge of anger welled up in Xu Fan's heart, and he said, "Brother Liu, wait a moment, I'll go take a look."

Andy Lau nodded; he knew that Xu Fan had written the script for "Lost and Found".

Although I know it won't have much effect, it might change Starry Night Pictures' attitude.

Xu Fan dialed Liao Fanxing's number and said coldly, "President Liao, I'd like to ask, what do you think of Andy Lau's qualifications?"

Liao Fanxing didn't come today because he had some company matters to attend to.

The filming was entirely entrusted to director Yu Mingzhi, mainly because Liao Fanxing felt embarrassed to ask Xu Fan not to direct the film; only the director had that authority.

Hearing Xu Fan ask this on the phone, Liao Fanxing frowned and said, "Of course, Andy Lau had already won several Best Actor awards ten years ago, and his songs are classics both at home and abroad. As a veteran superstar actor, his qualifications are beyond question."

Xu Fan said with a smile, "He gave up filming at Huazhou Film Studio to participate in our movie. Is this how you treat Andy Lau?"

Liao Fanxing listened in a daze, completely confused about what was going on.

She asked hesitantly, "Mr. Xu, what exactly happened?"

Xu Fan said, "The so-called director you mentioned only showed up in front of us once, and we haven't seen him since. Are you sure he's reliable?"

Liao Fanxing was also annoyed, wondering what Yu Mingzhi had done to offend Xu Fan again.

Just then, Liao Fanxing heard several consecutive honking sounds from her phone.

Then Xu Fan said angrily: "We'll talk about it later."

Then he hung up the phone.

Liao Fanxing was left alone, staring blankly at her phone. Had someone just driven onto the set?

Holy crap.

===Chapter 138 Xu Fan's Anger===

Liao Fanxing immediately called director Yu Mingzhi, but no one answered the phone.

In fact, Yu Mingzhi was very busy at this time.

From project initiation to casting the crew and even finding filming locations, he has been busy everywhere. Today is the first day of filming.

There should be a launch ceremony, but unfortunately, the actress—who is basically just a minor supporting character—has yet to appear.

He first greeted Andy Lau and others, then quickly ran to invite this great master.

Sure enough, just as Xu Fan was calling Liao Fanxing, he finally managed to persuade this expert to come to the scene.

In fact, neither Xu Fan nor Andy Lau had any scenes with him.

So at other times, no one would care, but unfortunately there's a launch ceremony today.

Andy Lau and Xu Fan locked eyes, and then both revealed their anger.

Because the car sped past them like the wind.

Andy Lau said angrily, "It's too embarrassing to act with someone like that."

Gan Wen is a relatively well-known second-tier actress who has gained considerable fame due to her previous roles in several decent supporting characters.

After careful consideration, Liao Fanxing's production team felt that Gan Wen was very suitable to play the mother of the little girl Zhou Tianyi in "Lost and Found".

Moreover, Gan Wen is now quite well-known and has a certain fan base.

The production team's choice did not bring Gan Wen any joy; in fact, she felt ashamed, as it was yet another minor role.

Even though Andy Lau was the lead actor in the film, she still felt unhappy.

Now she is already moving towards the top tier of stars. She longs to pursue a higher level of roles and to act in a movie on her own. However, her agent suddenly gave her a role in a movie about child abduction, still as a supporting character.

A mother who has lost her child has nothing appealing about her in the whole play, at least not in the script, so she wants to object.

However, the company insisted that she take the role because her agency was very optimistic about this collaboration with Andy Lau.

Even though the film's production company was the already declining Starlight Pictures, they still hoped that Gan Wen could gain Andy Lau's appreciation and be promoted.

But Gan Wen has given up on herself; to be precise, she hates this show and this character, which is why she was late for the opening ceremony and even drove into the film set without any manners.

It's important to know that once filming begins, the locations are all built in advance. Every place, every corner, even a pebble on the ground may need to be measured from a specific angle to ensure its integrity before filming can start.

Therefore, under these circumstances, no one should be allowed to drive in, but Gan Wen did just that.

Gan Wen, wearing sunglasses, got out of the car and glanced around.

All eyes were on her. Her face was devoid of any emotion. She simply said calmly and coldly, "Let's begin."

Director Yu Mingzhi walked over and said, "Ms. Gan, let's stand here and start the opening ceremony."

Gan Wen pulled her sunglasses down from her nose, gave Yu Mingzhi a disrespectful look, then put them back on and said, "This crappy show, why bother with a filming ceremony? I only have a few shots, and I need to go for a beauty treatment after filming."

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Yu Mingzhi felt extremely embarrassed.

Starry Sky Pictures is indeed in a difficult situation right now. It's extremely difficult to find actors, especially well-known ones like Gan Wen.

If it weren't for Andy Lau, Gan Wen's agency wouldn't have agreed to let her participate in this movie.

If Gan Wen leaves at this point, there will be no actress to play Zhou Tianyi's mother in the movie.

For a moment, Yu Mingzhi felt embarrassed, but he still advised, "Miss Gan, look, even Andy Lau is waiting for you."

Gan Wen looked up at Andy Lau, then nodded weakly, seemingly agreeing only because of him.

But just then, a voice suddenly came.

"If you don't want to act anymore, you can leave."

A calm voice echoed around, and everyone's eyes instantly turned to Xu Fan.

Those who recognized the person exclaimed in surprise, while those who didn't were filled with question marks.

Xu Fan took two steps forward, looked at Gan Wen and said, "If an actor can't even show the most basic respect, I don't think you're qualified to be an actor at all. So, if you don't want to film, you're free to leave."

Director Yu Mingzhi panicked and quickly said, "Mr. Xu, this won't work! This won't work!"

As he spoke, Yu Mingzhi quickly said to Gan Wen, "Miss Gan, don't be angry, let's start filming right away."

Yu Mingzhi was deeply distressed, but he knew that if things continued like this, things would spiral out of control.

He knew who Xu Fan was; he was a nationally renowned singer who, despite claiming to be an amateur, had every song he sang that was a classic.

Most importantly, the script for this movie was written by Xu Fan. If Xu Fan really disagrees, this matter will be very difficult to resolve.

Although Yu Mingzhi knew that Xu Fan wanted to participate in "Lost and Found," and even listed Xu Fan as the lead actor in the promotional announcement, according to Liao Fanxing's instructions, a replacement actor had already been prepared.

If Xu Fan is even slightly unprofessional, or fails to perform well in the film, I will find a way to get rid of him.

Considering the overall performance of the film, and with this uneasy feeling, he could only apologize to Gan Wen.

However, since Xu Fan had spoken up, he naturally wouldn't let her off so easily.

He looked at Yu Mingzhi and said calmly, "If you feel you don't have the ability to direct, you can leave."

This sentence startled Yu Mingzhi.

Then a surge of anger welled up inside me.

He looked at Xu Fan and said, "Mr. Xu, can we just go and film the movie? You can't decide whether the other party leaves or not today."

Xu Fan was even more furious, but Andy Lau grabbed Xu Fan's sleeve and said, "Let's see how she performs first. If her acting is good, then this is the only way."

Xu Fan nodded in response to Liu Tianwang's words, though he was annoyed.

He also knew that the current production team was in a difficult situation, and it would be really hard to find the next suitable actor.

Since the production team has taken a liking to Gan Wen's acting skills, let's give her a try.

However, Xu Fan had absolutely no liking for this woman; her arrogant attitude was just too infuriating.

However, Xu Fan didn't want to pursue the matter, but Gan Wen immediately objected. After hearing Xu Fan's words, she roared like a shrew, "Director Yu Mingzhi, if you still want me to participate in this movie, please make him leave, okay? I don't want to see him."
