===Chapter 184 Movie News (4000-word long chapter)===

The next morning.

Xu Fan got up and washed up, only to find that Li Xiaoran had already taken the children to school.

Zhao Feiyang squinted as he entered his room, stammering, "There are so many places to visit in Chengdu. Where are we planning to go today?"

Xu Fan said, "I pay homage to the Dujiangyan Irrigation System and seek enlightenment at Mount Qingcheng."

Zhao Feiyang frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu Fan then remembered that the poem seemed to be from a parallel world, and he must have seen it by chance when he first started researching the system.

Xu Fan didn't explain, but Zhao Feiyang said, "The internet was really lively last night."

Xu Fan looked at him, and Zhao Feiyang had no choice but to continue, "The kids are incredibly popular, and 'Chengdu' has caused a sensation across the internet. The hype last night was much stronger than ever before."

"How to say?"

"Let's start with the children. A group of children from the mountains, who have just experienced a mudslide. Many people are concerned about the fate of those children. Now, seeing that the children can study outside, we are all very fortunate. In addition, your song 'As Long As We Are Ordinary' fully expresses the ordinariness and unwillingness of the world, and tells the story of the cruelty and simplicity of reality."

The children's innocent and pure voices, combined with your perfect piano playing, made this song a viral sensation online. Xu Fan and the children became a unique and independent phrase, spreading wildly online. The lyrics of "As Long As We Are Ordinary" were praised by netizens across the internet.

Xu Fan finished dressing and looked in the mirror. Zhao Feiyang continued, "Speaking of your song 'Chengdu,' a few days ago in Hangzhou, you sang 'Broken Bridge in Snow,' which became a hit. Then you arrogantly posted on Weibo, 'A city, a song.' Do you remember that?"

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Of course."

Zhao Feiyang said, "Because of this sentence, the fans went crazy. They all wanted you to come to their city to sing a song, just like when you sang 'Broken Bridge in Snow' in Hangzhou."

Just when netizens were looking forward to it, you came to Chengdu and sang "As Long As We Are Ordinary" with the children.

Netizens all thought this song was written by you for the city, but unexpectedly, you suddenly wrote another song called "Chengdu".

Moreover, someone filmed a high-definition video that perfectly recreated everything that happened last night.

Your song "Chengdu" has resonated deeply with countless Chengdu residents, especially those who live and work elsewhere.

Xu Fan said, "This song should be a hit."

He was very confident about this. In the introduction, he said that the song had caused a phenomenal development in a parallel world and was so popular that you could hear it everywhere.

This is true everywhere, on the streets and in the alleys.

Zhao Feiyang looked helpless, but still said, "It's really popular, so netizens are going crazy right now. I suggest you take a look."

Xu Fan nodded, glanced at himself in the mirror, and found that he seemed to have become a bit more handsome.

He smiled and turned on his phone.

He saw the high-definition video from last night on Weibo.

He frowned slightly. Shouldn't this angle be directed from where they were sitting?

If it wasn't Zhao Feiyang and Li Xiaoran who filmed it, then who else could it be?

Then he remembered the girl who had told him she knew him yesterday, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Weibo is flooded with all sorts of messages.

"I love this city, I love its slow pace, I love its tranquility, I would love to live here forever. This song is so fitting, but I went to the hot pot restaurant and the bar, but I didn't see Fan Ge. I'm so sad."

"This song sounds sweet and romantic to people in love, but it brings back painful memories to people who have just broken up... Anyway, I don't know why I feel inexplicably sad when I listen to it."

"Chengdu, I'm here. My plane ticket is in three hours. Fan, wait for me."

"Youth has passed, but the story continues. Let's walk together on the streets of Chengdu, just a walk." But she had already left the city in early September.

"Every song has a story behind it, every time I listen to a song I miss someone, and every time I listen to it I feel something different. As the melody becomes more and more familiar, I miss it more and more. When I'm feeling down, I hear beautiful music and my troubles gradually get better with the song. Fan Ge, I love you."

"My girlfriend was asking where she'd go after graduating this year, and now it seems like Chengdu is the only place for her."

"Hey upstairs, stop abusing the dog. I can walk on my own just fine."

Xu Fan put down his phone, shook his head, and said, "It's all news about 'Chengdu,' just like I thought."

Zhao Feiyang said, "You're quite confident."

Xu Fan smiled, meaning that this was certain.

Zhao Feiyang said, "Xu Fan and the kids are all the rage on Douyin, aren't you going to check them out?"

Xu Fan smiled and said, "I just hope it won't disturb the children."

Zhao Feiyang nodded, clearly much more sober now. He said, "Don't worry about that. Most of your fans are still very rational. I saw a message saying that some of your fans spontaneously organized a fundraising event and are preparing to build a school for the children in Zhoucheng."

Xu Fan thought for a moment and said, "How could I have forgotten about that?"

Zhao Feiyang said, "You don't need to think about that, but I think we can buy some clothes for the kids or something."

Xu Fan thought for a moment about the children's colorful clothes, then nodded and said, "Good idea."

When his phone rang, Xu Fan was startled to see that the caller was Xue Laiyi.

Xu Fan answered the phone and greeted her, "Hello, Teacher Xue."

Xue Laiyi asked from the other end, "Xiao Fan, you've been traveling all over the country these past few days!"

Xu Fan was slightly embarrassed, so he said, "I didn't have the chance to travel around before, so I wanted to go to Hangzhou. Then, as you know, those kids from Zhoucheng came to Chengdu, so I thought I'd stop by to see them."

Xue Laiyi said, "I took the opportunity to travel more than 2,000 kilometers along the way."

Xu Fan was extremely embarrassed. Xue Laiyi said, "The song is very nice. That song 'As Long As We Are Ordinary' is really suitable for those kids to sing. I feel like you wrote that song for them, didn't you?"

Xu Fan thought for a moment and said, "I guess so."

Xue Laiyi didn't ask any further questions, but said, "I called you because I have something to tell you. You went viral online again last night. I'm used to this kind of thing."

Xu Fan said earnestly, "Thank you, Teacher Xue."

Xue Laiyi said, "Don't be so polite, I have important business to discuss, please listen to me."

Xu Fan hummed in agreement, and Xue Laiyi continued, "Yesterday I heard from a friend that an autographed photo of you was found on the black market and was auctioned for 3.7 million. I was wondering if you knew about this?"

Xu Fan was shocked and couldn't figure out what was going on. He couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"

Xue Laiyi said, "It seems you really don't know. Auctions of autographed photos are common. Most true fans cherish your autograph like their own children, but some people are just doing it for profit. I'm calling you to remind you to be careful of fake fans when you ask for autographs in the future."

Xu Fan asked in confusion, "You mean, someone auctioned off my autograph?"

Xue Laiyi said, "That's right."

Xu Fan quickly said, "This is outrageous! I'll explain right away that it wasn't me who signed it."

Xue Laiyi on the other end of the phone said, "It's no use. We have photos of your signature, and your handwriting is too unique. I suggest you practice your handwriting properly."

Xu Fan:

Xu Fan hung up on Xue Laiyi's call, but after thinking it over and over, he still couldn't figure out who would auction off his autograph.

He doesn't actually sign many books from beginning to end. Apart from signing physical records last time, he has signed very few other books individually.

Moreover, judging from Xue Laiyi's words, it was clearly not a record.

Zhao Feiyang frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Xu Fan explained the situation, and the fat man frowned, then slapped his thigh and said, "I understand."

Xu Fan asked in confusion, "Who?"

Zhao Feiyang said, "Have you forgotten about the person from Hangzhou who kept chasing after us, insisting on getting an autograph?"

Xu Fan thought for a moment, then, recalling the singer he had met that night, asked in confusion, "You mean Hua Yu?"

Zhao Feiyang nodded and said, "If I remember correctly, the autographed paper he took out that day was clearly carefully prepared. No wonder I felt something was off at the time. It turns out he was planning to auction off your autographed photo. What's going on in that kid's head? How could he come up with something like that?"

Xu Fan was a little angry, feeling that he had been played, so he said, "Is there any way?"

Zhao Feiyang said, "It's basically useless. Think about it, the signed photo, the signed paper, and your horribly ugly handwriting can all prove that the signature is real. No matter what you say now, it won't matter, because as long as you speak, it means that the painting is undoubtedly real."

Xu Fan thought it made a lot of sense, but he was still a little angry.

He thought Hua Yu seemed like a pretty good person, but now it seems you really can't judge a book by its cover, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable.

However, he's not a good person either. Since you dare to mess with me, sooner or later I'll make you feel what it's like to be played, even if the probability of meeting you again is zero.

Zhao Feiyang exclaimed from the side, "A single autograph can fetch millions at auction, wow, that's unbelievable. Old Xu, why don't you sign a few more, and I'll give it a try?"

Xu Fan said, "If you find a way, I have no objection."

After packing up quickly, Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang left the hotel.

Xu Fan planned to visit the school, and Zhao Feiyang naturally accompanied him.

The two arrived at the entrance of Rongcheng Sunflower Primary School, dressed in the three-piece celebrity outfit.

With the school gates closed, Zhao Feiyang said, "Obviously, the children are in class now. I think we can go to the panda base to take a look."

Xu Fan said, "I want to bring the children with me."

Zhao Feiyang smiled helplessly.

But just then, the two were suddenly drawn to a sound from the side.

In the distance, a teacher and a child are chatting.

The teacher asked, "Child, how do you know your father?"

The child looked up at the teacher and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, he called me 'Dad' first, and he did it for more than half a year. Later, I started calling him 'Dad' too."

The teacher looked completely bewildered.

Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang exchanged a smile and couldn't help but laugh.

A scene seemed to appear in my mind.

The father kept calling out "Daddy, Daddy" to his child.

This continued until one day the child finally learned the two words, and the father was overjoyed.

Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang's mood immediately improved. Zhao Feiyang looked at the child and said, "He's as cute as Gou Dan."

Xu Fan asked, "Is Gou Dan cute?"

Zhao Feiyang thought for a moment and said, "It should be mischievousness."

Li Xiaoran walked over from a distance and asked in confusion, "Why are you all here?"

Zhao Feiyang spoke first: "I wanted to go to the panda base, but after thinking about it, I decided to take the children there instead."
