The authorities originally wanted to postpone the release, and it was only after much effort that we managed to secure the opportunity to have the film released.

Now that this opportunity has vanished, how could Xu Fan not be furious?

The preview screenings were initially deserted, but the singing performance went viral online, adding some appeal to the film.

The film is still extremely popular. If it's not released now, and we wait until later, where will we find the opportunity?

Xu Fan became increasingly agitated as he thought about it. Zhao Feiyang said, "Now, there has been a major change at Fanxing Film Company. Basically, all of Liao Fanxing's confidants have been replaced overnight. As far as I know, all of this was the idea of ​​director Yu Mingzhi."

Xu Fan frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Feiyang said, "Anyway, the probability is eight or nine out of ten. Yu Mingzhi is the chief director of Fanxing Pictures, but he is a pawn that Liao Fanxing's father placed next to Liao Fanxing."

After the company ran into trouble, it was he who told Liao Fanxing's father, which led to the subsequent series of problems.

Xu Fan's already agitated mood intensified into anger.

Everything that had been done before was wasted, and anyone would be furious.

After hanging up Zhao Feiyang's call, Xu Fan thought for a long time and still felt that he had to go to Fanxing Pictures and meet Liao Fanxing's father.

Having thought this through, I no longer hesitated.

Xu Fan took a taxi directly to the Starry Sky Film Group Company.

Looking at this familiar building, Xu Fan seemed to recall the time not long ago when he went to find Liao Fanxing with the script.

He brought nothing with him this time; he was going to find Liao Fanxing's father.

After being contacted by the receptionist by phone, Xu Fan arrived outside the former Liao Fanxing's office.

Knock on the door and enter. Inside, there is a man and a woman, both of whom should be over sixty years old.

When Xu Fan went in, the old man looked up at him and said, "I knew you would come."

===Chapter 214 The Betting Agreement (Please support QQ Reading's official subscription, thank you!)===

Liao Fanxing's adoptive father, Liao Qicheng, is 63 years old this year.

For him, who was old and childless, Liao Fanxing was like his own son.

Fanxing Pictures is actually just a part of the Fanxing Group's business. The name "Fanxing" was actually intended for Liao Fanxing.

The child is smart and motivated; to be honest, I really like him.

As time went on, Liao Fanxing gradually revealed his talent at work, which made him very happy.

But just then, he suddenly heard a message: a middle-aged man surnamed Zhou was riding a motorcycle around looking for his child.

The key point is that the child's description is very similar to that of his adopted son.

As a traditional person, he had a very strong desire to continue his family line and carry on the family tradition.

He has no children of his own, so his adopted son is his biological son. What if the person on the motorcycle looking for his son is the biological father of his adopted son?

He couldn't let this happen, but Liao Fanxing secretly went to Mr. Zhou and had a paternity test done.

This infuriated him, and he immediately issued a death order.

If they still want the Liao family's assets, they must give up everything and only have him as their father.

It may seem selfish, but for them, there was no other way.

Liao Fanxing agreed, and everything went smoothly for the company. With his assistance, Fanxing Pictures got on the right track and developed faster and faster.

But just then, rumors suddenly appeared online, saying that Liao Fanxing was not his biological child.

The news has caused quite a stir, and its emergence is clearly a premeditated attack by a rival company.

He felt this was a test of his adopted son's abilities, so he took his lover on a trip abroad, leaving the mess for Liao Fanxing to clean up.

This can be considered as a test he left for Liao Fanxing.

In fact, he knew everything Liao Fanxing did perfectly. No matter which channel he heard from, he knew what steps Liao Fanxing took and how effective they were.

Over time, Starry Night Pictures did not recover.

For him, the bankruptcy of one company was not a big deal; the Star Group had many companies and a lot of assets.

The only regret is that this time, Starry Sky Pictures was being chased and attacked by others, which made him somewhat disappointed in Liao Fanxing.

But after his disappointment, he saw Liao Fanxing suddenly change her strategy and secretly begin preparing to shoot a movie, and even invited Andy Lau to participate, which surprised him slightly.

However, after conducting his investigation, he instantly flew into a rage.

The story in the movie is remarkably similar to the search for Liao Fanxing's biological father.

This made him feel that Liao Fanxing's purpose in making the film was to retaliate against him.

So he directly dispatched some company employees to re-enter Starry Night Pictures.

He tried to regain control of the company, but Liao Fanxing's abilities surprised him.

After all, it was his own child. Even though he was angry, he didn't go too far. Liao Fanxing's methods also made him somewhat gratified.

But just yesterday, a piece of news enraged him.

Liao Fanxing and Xin Shuangyu actually got together.

He naturally knew the actress well; he was familiar with all the actresses in his company.

She had found so many excellent women for him, but he didn't want any of them; he insisted on having an actress.

In addition, a flood of news suddenly appeared online.

Liao Qicheng discovered that Fanxing Pictures was on the verge of bankruptcy and liquidation. If the company needed to start over, everything had to be done quickly and decisively.

The first thing he did was to have his son step down as CEO of Starry Night Pictures.

This is the first step. The second step is to shift the blame, carry out a complete overhaul of the company, replace everyone who can be replaced, and let everyone outside see that Starry Pictures has started afresh.

The third step was to cancel the release date of the film "Lost and Love".

Of course, he didn't actually cancel the show; he was just making it public.

The word "cunning and shrewd" can be used to describe him. He understands what netizens need to see and what they want to see.

The general public is never afraid of things escalating; they're the ones watching the drama unfold, and the more dramatic the story, the more entertaining it is for them.

Liao Qicheng was certain that as long as he got rid of everything and replaced all the company's problems, at least the company's shell would be preserved, and many problems would be easily solved.

Then, the withdrawal of the movie "Lost and Love" will cause many people to subconsciously ignore it, so it's best to just wait and see how things develop.

Of course, whether the film will ultimately be withdrawn from release depends on one person's decision, Liao Qicheng believes.

He noticed this person after the movie "Lost and Found" had already been filmed.

Yu Mingzhi told him that everything from the script to the filming to the directing was frighteningly excellent; he was practically a genius.

He was eager to see what was so special about this person, so the first reason for withdrawing the film was to change the subject, and the second reason was that he wanted to see who Xu Fan really was.

When Xu Fan entered, the first thing he said was, "I knew you were coming."

Xu Fan was surprised to find that Liao Qicheng didn't look old at all; in fact, he looked only a few years older than Liao Fanxing. He must have taken good care of himself.

Xu Fan said, "Mr. Liao, were you waiting for me?"

Liao Qicheng nodded and said, "Sit down."

Liao Qicheng's wife took a new teacup from the side and placed it in front of Xu Fan, then turned and left, closing the office door behind her.

Liao Qicheng slowly poured the tea into Xu Fan's cup and said, "Xu Fan, you have the potential to be a superstar at such a young age. I've heard some of your songs, and the lyrics to 'Broken Bridge in Snow' are indeed quite good."

Xu Fan was surprised that Liao Qicheng would praise him first. He was puzzled, but still said, "Mr. Liao, you flatter me."

Liao Qicheng sighed and said, "Excellent people should be brave enough to accept praise from others. This is not arrogance, but self-confidence."

Xu Fan remained silent, while Liao Qicheng continued, "You should know something about my son's situation, right?"

Xu Fan remained silent, neither speaking nor drinking tea, simply watching Liao Qicheng calmly.

Liao Qicheng smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "Hmm, it smells good." Then he looked at Xu Fan and said, "If he doesn't step down, Fanxing Pictures will definitely declare bankruptcy within three days, so he has to step down."

Xu Fan had thought about this question seriously and knew that Liao Qicheng was not lying. He nodded and said, "A decisive and efficient approach is indeed the way to go."

Liao Qicheng said, "In business, you have to know how to make choices. When you want to have everything, you often end up with nothing."

Xu Fan said, "But the release of 'Lost and Love' should not be cancelled either."

Liao Qicheng said, "I've been waiting for you to come because I wanted to talk to you about this issue."

Xu Fan glanced at the teacup; the tea was almost cold. He picked it up, took a sip, and said, "No matter how you look at it, withdrawing the film at this point is the worst decision we could make."

Liao Qicheng nodded and said, "I know you went through a lot of trouble from filming to promotion. The effect brought by the singing event was hard-won, but it was suddenly taken away by someone. It's very sad. Fanxing also told me that. But I don't like this movie. I think that reason is enough."

Xu Fan looked at Liao Qicheng, his eyes, framed by black-rimmed glasses, calmly observing him.

There was no anger, no other emotion, only calmness.

He thought for a moment and asked, "For you, is the loss unlimited?"

Liao Qicheng shook his head and said, "What I'm doing now is cutting my losses. Whether the movie is good or bad is no longer important."

Xu Fan asked, "Why don't you like this movie?"

Liao Qicheng suddenly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and said, "Because he spoke so well, so well that I thought it was true."

Xu Fan frowned, and Liao Qicheng said, "Do you know why that foster mother beat Lao Lei so badly?"

Xu Fan didn't answer, so Liao Qicheng said, "By the way, you're the screenwriter and the director, you should understand. But in my opinion, the most important reason that mother hit Lao Lei wasn't because Lao Lei was looking for his adopted son, but because he wanted to take away the child he had raised for so long. Why should I return the child I raised to you?"

Xu Fan was stunned by Liao Qicheng's sudden questioning. Liao Qicheng continued, "I raised him with so much care, giving him whatever he wanted, and you just say you're his biological father and want to take him away? Where were you when the child was lost? Where were you when the child was crying? Movies are always for sentimental people, I don't like them."

Xu Fan knew the reason for Liao Qicheng's sudden explosion, because he knew that Liao Qicheng also liked Liao Fanxing very much.

Xu Fan didn't know what to say, so after thinking for a moment, he said, "He's on his way."

That's the answer, because in the movie, Old Lei is constantly searching for his child. If it's about atonement, that should be enough, right?

Liao Qicheng did not respond to this topic.

He calmly looked out the window, then took out a cigarette from the side and lit it.

He coughed violently twice and said, "The movie was actually quite well made."

This can be considered Liao Qicheng's praise for Xu Fan. Then Liao Qicheng added, "So the movie was not actually withdrawn from release; the news was just a tactic."
