But what needs to be done before the movie is released? That's something I need to think about.

When Zhao Feiyang called Fatty, the first thing he asked was, "Old Xu, how's it going? The internet is in an uproar. Is our movie really going to be pulled from theaters?"

Xu Fan said, "Don't worry, it will be released as scheduled. These are all normal operations by the board of directors of Fanxing Pictures, just a way to help Fanxing Pictures get out of this predicament."

Zhao Feiyang asked in confusion, "But didn't the release of 'Lost and Love' clearly state that?"

Xu Fan said, "The Film Bureau did not withdraw the film from theaters, and people online are just laughing at the news."

Hearing Xu Fan say this, Zhao Feiyang suddenly realized and said, "It seems the Film Bureau hasn't announced any withdrawal, so it looks like the release is fine, but..."

Xu Fan interrupted the fat man and said, "Come to the studio. We need to do the final planning. We must be fully prepared before the movie is released."

Zhao Feiyang agreed.

More than half an hour later, the two met at the studio.

Zhao Feiyang wiped the sweat from his face and said, "I'm exhausted."

Xu Fan sat on the small wooden chair and said, "The influence of the singing event has vanished overnight, and the internet is now full of negative news about Fanxing Pictures."

Zhao Feiyang said, "Not entirely. Now, more people are discussing the bankruptcy and liquidation of Fanxing Pictures."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "President Liao's adoptive father is indeed a decisive and efficient person. This incident shows that he has a broad vision."

Zhao Feiyang asked, "If the movie is released on schedule, what do we need to do?"

Xu Fan said, "We can only wait and see for the next two days. We can only choose to stop showing the film the night after tomorrow. The film will only be officially released on the 1st, but we must start a new round of promotion the morning after tomorrow."

Zhao Feiyang asked worriedly, "How? How about you sing a song?"

This was the only solution Zhao Feiyang could think of: Xu Fan singing.

Whenever Xu Fan sings, he almost always manages to regain the top trending topics.

Over time, Zhao Feiyang came to regard this matter as a matter of course.

If Xu Fan sings, he can regain the top trending topics.

That would naturally draw netizens' attention back.

Xu Fan said, "That is indeed a method, but writing songs is not something that can be done casually. You still need to think carefully about what kind of songs are suitable. I do have a method now, but I'm not sure if it will work. I'll ask around later."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feiyang was thrilled.

He quickly walked over to Xu Fan and sat down, saying, "What method? Tell me about it."

The two began to discuss this issue.

The two struggled for a long time about re-promoting their work and having Xu Fan sing.

They talked until after 6 p.m., when the fat man's stomach started growling, and the two of them finally decided to go out for dinner.

Xu Fan also made a phone call. He didn't know what the outcome would be, but he had to try.

When you encounter a problem, you always have to try. How can you know if you can solve it if you don't try?

===Chapter 216 "Lost" Premiere===

Xu Fan dialed Zheng Lao's number.

The phone rang three times before Old Zheng answered and asked, "Young Xu, what's up with calling me now?"

Xu Fan got straight to the point on the phone: "Mr. Zheng, I have something I'd like to ask you for advice on."

After hesitating for two seconds, Mr. Zheng asked, "What about the screening of the movie 'Lost and Found'?"

Xu Fan hummed in agreement.

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Zheng was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I will let them know, but this matter has a significant impact, and whether it will work is another matter."

Xu Fan said, "Then thank you, Elder Zheng."

The two chatted for a few more minutes about everyday things. Xu Fan hung up the phone, and the fat man asked, "How did it go?"

Xu Fan said, "I don't know, we'll just have to wait for news."

The two casually entered a Sichuan restaurant, ordered a plate of tofu skin and a plate of braised pork ribs, and began to eat.

After finishing their meal, the two went their separate ways.

Meanwhile, on major online movie pre-sale platforms, Huazhou Pictures' film "Lost" had already begun pre-sales.

Huazhou Films' film "Lost" will premiere in major cinemas at midnight on September 30th, which is midnight on October 1st.

"Lost" has begun pre-sales on all major online ticketing platforms, with at least one midnight screening scheduled at each cinema.

Netizens are very selective, thanks to the huge investments and large-scale promotions in the early stages.

Tickets for the movie "Lost" are selling out rapidly, and the attendance rate is steadily increasing.

Conversely, the film "Lost and Found," which was falsely claimed to have been taken off the screens by Liao Qicheng of Fanxing Pictures, did not immediately begin pre-sales.

From any perspective, starting pre-sales at this time would essentially result in being crushed by Huazhou Pictures' "Lost".

Liao Fanxing was kept behind by Liao Qicheng, who prevented her from participating in the work of Fanxing Pictures. However, Fanxing Pictures could not be without people at this time, so Xu Fan called Liao Qicheng after finishing his meal.

Liao Qicheng stated that the current CEO of Fanxing Pictures will fully cooperate with Xu Fan. In response to the advance pre-sales of "Lost", Xu Fan decided to start pre-sales on the 30th.

The planned premiere of "Lost and Love" had to be canceled, and it will be officially released on the first day of the National Day holiday in the morning.

Liao Qicheng arranged for the current head of Fanxing Pictures to contact several ticketing platforms and heads of major cinema chains across the country.

Subsequently, Starry Sky Pictures notified all its departments, including cinemas and ticketing.

Seeing that Liao Qicheng had taken care of most things, Xu Fan felt relieved and waited for the pre-sale results of "Lost" and the start of pre-sales for the movie "Lost and Love".

After Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang parted ways, he went home, intending to see if he could find any songs that could attract the attention of a wide range of netizens before the film's release. However, despite searching extensively, he still couldn't find a suitable song.

Meanwhile, after returning home, Zhao Feiyang checked the online pre-sale situation. He thought about it and decided that waiting like this wasn't a problem, so he opened the Fanfan group.

I sent a group announcement to the group.

"Attention, dear fans of Fan! Fan's movie 'Lost and Love' will be released on the morning of the 1st of next month. Pre-sales will begin on the 30th of this month. Please support Fan by buying tickets at the cinema. The movie 'Lost and Love' features three theme songs by Fan, each one more classic than the last. Whether you've heard them before or not, it's worth watching."

After posting the group announcement, Zhao Feiyang copied and pasted it to other Fanfan groups, and quickly received responses.

"When Fan fans go on an expedition, nothing is left standing. I can't hold back my thirsty hands any longer. I have to buy tickets to support him. I regret not being able to see Fan's guest performance. How can I miss the movie 'Lost and Found'?"

"Same as above, I'm really looking forward to Fan Ge's movie. I've been waiting for it and I must support it."

"Don't worry, Fatty, my wallet is ready. I'll bring my family to the cinema to support you."

"I cried buckets after watching the preview screening of 'Lost and Love'. I can't wait to see it. I will take my girlfriend to the movie theater on time. I love the way she cries in my arms."

"Please, have some decency, upstairs. Is it really that fun to torture other people like this?"

Zhao Feiyang was still very happy to see this.

Although these groups are full of Xu Fan's true fans, their numbers are still far fewer than those of the vast majority of netizens. Not everyone among them will support him. At least looking at the fans who are making comments, Zhao Feiyang feels quite comfortable.

After thinking about it, he started doing some simple promotion on Xu Fan's Baidu Tieba forum.

At this time, major ticketing platforms showed that roughly 20% of the tickets for the premiere of Huazhou Pictures' "Lost" were sold out within two hours of the pre-sale starting.

This figure truly caused an uproar across the internet, and Huazhou Pictures took advantage of this opportunity to launch a large-scale publicity campaign, with various media outlets across the internet, including some influential figures, giving it special attention.

The next day, 24 hours after the pre-sale of Huazhou Film's movie "Lost", the news across the internet was that all the tickets for the premiere had been sold out.

In an instant, countless people across the internet were shocked and moved by it.

This news drove netizens crazy. What kind of movie is "Lost" that could sell out its tickets in just 24 hours?

Meanwhile, rumors and gossip are flying everywhere online.

The sudden withdrawal of "Lost and Found," which had previously dominated Weibo's trending topics after Xu Fan and others' singing performance, left netizens feeling regretful.

I thought we were about to witness a true epic battle in film history, a grand exchange to see who would emerge victorious.

Unexpectedly, Starry Pictures was suddenly plagued by scandals. In an effort to salvage the company's image, the company underwent a major overhaul, and even the film "Lost and Found" was pulled from release.

This left many netizens who had some interest in the movie "Lost and Love" slightly disappointed.

Of course, many people have lost all interest in "Lost and Love".

First, both "Lost and Love" and "Lost" are essentially art films, but in terms of factors such as the actors' plastic surgery and the amount of investment, "Lost and Love" does not have an advantage.

The film "Lost and Found" gained popularity only because of a few songs by Xu Fan, but the sudden scandal involving Fanxing Pictures caused the film's rating to drop again.

Most importantly, when the news of the withdrawal was released, most netizens did not have any doubts about it, but rather felt that it was somewhat natural.

Of course, there is inevitably some element of stirring up trouble here, but it must be said that the impact of this matter is extremely far-reaching. Sometimes, many people simply cannot stand what they see and therefore reject other people's work.

Such things are not only clearly reflected in "Lost and Found," but are also common in real life.

Inside Huazhou Film Industry.

When the pre-sale tickets for the premiere of the movie "Lost" sold out, they held a meeting, and all the employees in the company cheered.

They made several decisions at the meeting.

First, contact major cinema chains to sell advance tickets for the premiere and add at least one more screening room.

Secondly, launch pre-sale publicity and start the most intense promotion both online and offline, including but not limited to online media and movie news channels.

Finally, Huazhou Film Industry was pleasantly surprised that the pre-sale tickets for the movie "Lost" had sold out.

At the same time, they launched all screenings for the second day and worked with various cinema chains to negotiate the new screening data and share as soon as possible.

When this news spread from the upper echelons of Huazhou Film Studio to the lower echelons, it quickly became known online that Huazhou Film Studio's film "Lost" had sold out completely within 24 hours, and major cinemas had temporarily added an extra screening room to show "Lost".

On the 30th, the entire internet was discussing the premiere of Huazhou Film Studio's movie "Lost".

On Weibo and other major online platforms, the discussion about "Lost" has consistently ranked at the top.

Just then, a message suddenly began to spread online.

The official Weibo account of the National Film Administration suddenly posted a message.

"In view of the Film Bureau's second review of the film 'Lost and Love' and the request of Xu Fan, one of the film's screenwriters, directors and lead actors, the Film Bureau approved the proposal to release 'Lost and Love' during the National Day holiday. Various cinemas may arrange appropriate screenings of the film 'Lost and Love'."

As the official Weibo account of the State Film Administration, it holds the most authoritative authority when it comes to film-related news.

At least when it comes to state-run films, he's basically right about everything related to movies.

As a result, this message quickly spread across Weibo after it appeared.
