Get the perfect music system at the start

However, his publicity blunder, coupled with the massive investment and promotion by his rival, Huazhou Film Studio, brought him to the brink of despair.

He plans to hold a preview screening to lay the groundwork and build positive word-of-mouth.

He was overjoyed when the tickets for the preview screening sold out in 30 minutes.

However, when the actual number of viewers at the preview screenings was less than one in several dozen, he felt very desperate.

Just then, the singing performance suddenly took effect, attracting a huge audience.

The wonderful performances by Xu Fan, Liu Tianwang, Xiao Zihan and others, along with the continuous stream of new songs, brought "Lost and Found" into the public eye all at once.

Liao Fanxing was overwhelmed with excitement and gratitude towards Xu Fan.

Xu Fan's appearance was like a sudden umbrella on a rainy day, bringing warmth to people.

Whether it's the movie script, the choice of background music, or even inviting the Explosion Band for the guest performances.

All of this made Liao Fanxing realize that without Xu Fan, all of this was just empty talk.

He only hopes that everything will go smoothly from now on, and he'll leave the box office performance to the audience. He believes the movie won't be too bad.

He raised his glass and drank first as a sign of respect. The atmosphere at the table was lively, and everyone was already familiar with each other.

However, just as everyone was enjoying their drinks, Liao Fanxing's phone suddenly rang.

"Excuse me, everyone, I need to take this call."

Liao Fanxing stood up and walked out, while everyone continued drinking.

Sitting next to Xu Fan was the host named An Ran, who smiled and said, "Brother Fan, I'd like to toast you."

Xu Fan picked up his glass and said with a smile, "Thank you."

An Ran raised her glass at just the right moment, clinked it lightly with hers, took a small sip, placed the glass on the table, and said with some emotion, "Brother Fan, I'm curious how you can write so many, so many great songs."

Xu Fan smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps it's because I'm too outstanding."

The people listening nearby laughed. Just then, Liao Fanxing, who had been on the phone, walked in, but her expression seemed rather unpleasant.

Andy Lau frowned and asked, "Mr. Liao, what happened?"

Liao Fanxing nodded and said, "Everyone, I have some bad news to share."

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up, their earlier excitement vanishing instantly, and they all stared intently at Liao Fanxing.

No one asked a question; they were all waiting for Liao Fanxing to speak.

Liao Fanxing said, "Just now, I received a call that our movie, which was scheduled for release during the National Day holiday, has been suddenly withdrawn. In other words, it is very likely that the movie 'Lost and Found' will not be released during the National Day holiday."

This is indeed bad news.

Neither Andy Lau nor Xu Fan looked very happy.

Everyone present was getting anxious. The first to speak was director Yu Mingzhi, who asked, "President Liao, what's going on? Wasn't it already confirmed? Why was it suddenly pulled?"

Liao Fanxing said, "The inspection team said there were problems that needed to be corrected, but they told us to figure out the specific problems ourselves."

Andy Lau said, "It seems this matter is not simple."

Liao Fanxing said, "Yes, this matter is strange in many ways. Under normal circumstances, once the release date is set, it will not be changed unless the distributor requests it or there is indeed a problem with the film. But in either case, we should not have had any problems."

Host An Ran said, "Also, our guest performance just ended not long ago, so why are you canceling the schedule at this time?"

Xu Fan frowned and asked, "President Liao, are you aware of the situation at Huazhou Film Industry?"

Liao Fanxing said, "According to sources, they are currently holding an emergency meeting."

Zhao Feiyang complained from the side, "It's really annoying. I can't even enjoy a meal properly. President Liao, this matter can't be delayed. It must be resolved as soon as possible."

Liao Fanxing nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll think of a way. Everyone, don't fret, let's eat first."

That being said, everyone knows this is not an easy problem to solve.

But since things have come to this point, and we know that rushing won't solve anything, we might as well eat first.

However, for some reason, everyone felt that the food was just so-so.

The joy I felt just now vanished completely.

Soon after, the crowd dispersed, and everyone seemed preoccupied.

When Liao Fanxing returned to the company, he had a deep frown on his face. He didn't go home but went straight back to the company. He also issued a notice for a company board meeting to be held at eight o'clock the next morning.

Andy Lau and Xiao Zihan left together, both of them somewhat worried on the way.

All of their actions, whether it's preview screenings or concert events, are aimed at preparing for the official release of films during the National Day holiday a few days later.

Now that this has happened, nobody is happy.

After leaving the restaurant, Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang did not drive; they took a taxi instead.

After drinking some alcohol and being blown around by the wind after leaving the hotel, I sobered up considerably.

Zhao Feiyang said, "It must be those bastards from Huazhou Film Studio who did this, those damn cowards."

Xu Fan smiled and said, "There's always a solution to everything. Let's wait and see for now. President Liao should be able to handle these issues. Go back and get some rest."

Zhao Feiyang knew that saying anything now would be of no use, so he could only nod in agreement.

After the two parted ways, Xu Fan went home.

Mother and Shui'er had already gone to bed; it was late at night.

He opened Weibo to see what the current situation was like online.

But when he opened it, he was stunned and speechless as he looked at the various messages in the trending topics on Weibo.

"I woke up in the middle of the night and listened to 'Father' and tears streamed down my face. Father, I suddenly miss you so much. You suffered so much in your life and your passing was so painful. Your daughter feels so sorry for you. I always feel that you are still here with us. I will definitely take good care of my younger siblings and my mother."

"Dad, I miss you so much, my wonderful dad."

"Dad, I love you! I love you so much! Mom and Dad, we will always love you!"

"I didn't dare to look at the lyrics, so I listened to it with my eyes closed, but even so, I cried my eyes out."

Xu Fan was indeed somewhat surprised when he saw the messages on Weibo. The topics here were like a confessional, a place where countless netizens poured out their hearts.

They are here to express their longing for their father and their love for him.

Xu Fan originally wanted to post a Weibo message: If you love him, give him a call.

But in the end he hesitated, because he saw that many netizens said their fathers had already passed away and gone to heaven.

This made it difficult for him to say words that seemed comforting but were actually hurtful.

These topics made Xu Fan's "Father" a huge hit across the internet.

Both "The Road Home" and "Dad and Mom" ​​are classics, but the song "Father" has deeply attracted more people.

Perhaps it's because every word is so heart-wrenching, making it all the more tear-jerking.

Xu Fan put down his phone, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling.

He misses his father very much, but where is he, Father?

The sun rises from the east.

After finishing his morning run, Xu Fan ate steamed buns and chatted casually with his mother.

The sunlight was lovely, streaming into the room through the window. The sudden tranquility of the morning was truly wonderful.

The phone rang, and Xu Fan looked closely.

Mr. Zheng.

I met Andy Lau once at his invitation and we exchanged phone numbers.

If I remember correctly, Mr. Zheng was the former director of the State Film Administration.

The fact that Grandpa Zheng called at this time made him slightly puzzled.

When I answered the phone, a cheerful voice came from the other end.

"Hey Xu, you've been all the rage these past few days, haven't you? Why haven't you called to tell me the good news?"

Xu Fan smiled awkwardly and said, "Old Zheng, I was just thinking of paying you a visit sometime."

Hearing Old Master Zheng laugh heartily, Xu Fan said, "I like to hear that, but since you've put it that way, let's make a trip to Yanjing today."

Xu Fan was taken aback. The main point of his words was actually just being polite.

Of course, he had indeed had such thoughts, but obviously not at this time. However, since Old Zheng had put it that way, he couldn't very well refuse.

Moreover, he felt that Zheng Lao's call at this time must have something important to say, and the fact that he was asked to come immediately suggested that the reason behind it must be significant.

He agreed and said, "Okay, then I'll come and bother you."

Old Zheng said, "Well, there are some things that are inconvenient to talk about over the phone. Let's talk when you get here."

Xu Fan agreed, and after hanging up the phone, he took another bite of the braised pork bun.

Xu's mother asked, "What, are you going out again?"

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Yes, I need to go to Yanjing. Mom, you should rest at home."

Xu's mother nodded and said, "Don't worry about me. Just go wherever you want, as long as you don't overwork yourself. Take good care of yourself."

Xu Fan hummed in agreement, then thought for a moment before making another call to Zhao Feiyang.

Xu Fan still felt it would be best to bring Fatty along on this trip to Yanjing.

===Chapter 202 Old Zheng's Invitation===

After receiving the call, Zhao Feiyang went straight to the airport without hesitation.

Xu Fan also said goodbye to his mother and headed to the airport.

While hailing a taxi and booking tickets, Zhao Feiyang heard what Xu Fan was saying and knew that this matter was probably not simple, and it was very likely related to the sudden withdrawal of the movie "Lost and Found" yesterday.

They simply ignored the messages on the internet.

Huazhou Film Studio also took some special actions, but these matters were all left to Liao Fanxing to handle.

When Xu Fan left Zhonghai, he made a phone call to Liao Fanxing.

I explained my decision to go to Yanjing (Beijing). Although I didn't know what the outcome would be, it was never a bad thing to give it a try.
