For a split second, Xu Fan wanted to agree. After all, Dr. Zhou Huajian had been incredibly kind to him and his mother. However, some things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

So Xu Fan didn't explain directly, but simply nodded and turned to leave.

But after walking only a few steps, he saw Quinton standing next to him holding a glass of water. He looked up and asked in confusion, "Oh, is Mr. Xu leaving?"

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Dr. Quinton, I was just about to ask you why you left the Royal Hospital."

Quinton's expression changed slightly, and he finally shook his head, saying, "It's more profitable here, and it's more comfortable here too."

Xu Fan knew that Kundun liked money and that he wasn't a bad person at heart, so although the explanation was somewhat forced, he didn't press further and nodded.

Then Quinton said, "I poured you some water earlier, I was thinking of giving you a glass, but it seems like it was a waste."

Xu Fan looked at the water glass in Kundun's hand and realized that he had been talking to Han Zilu and his mouth was a little dry, so he took the glass and said, "I am thirsty, thank you."

Xu Fan drank it all in one gulp, and then strode away.

Quinton held the water glass, his face pale and a growing sense of loss in his eyes.

I kept saying sorry in my heart, but there was nothing I could do.

After Xu Fan left the hospital, he did not run into Winnie.

This made him question all his previous doubts and wonder if he had really been overthinking things.

It's just that Gran City is such a small city, and there are only so many taxi drivers, so you always seem to run into one.

With that in mind, Xu Fan hailed a taxi and headed towards the location that Old Zheng had sent him.

Private clinic.

Quinton was in his office, holding a needle, looking rather unwell.

He vaguely recalled that not long ago, he and Zhou Huaping had a big fight, and Zhou Huaping no longer gave him some things he needed. He felt as if he had fallen into a kind of hell from which he could not extricate himself.

As the symptoms became more and more obvious, he had no choice but to resign.

Then he opened a private clinic here, knowing full well that Zhou Huaping's spies were all working in his clinic, but he had no other choice.

Later, after Zhou Huaping had a talk with him, he finally gave in.

Some things are simply insignificant compared to fate.

Living is the best thing. With these thoughts in mind, he plunged the needle deep into his arm and then revealed a look of enjoyment on his face.

Not long after, he stood up and glanced at a pill on the table.

He took a cup, gently placed the pill in it, and then took a kettle and filled it with hot water.

The hot water poured into the cup, and the pill dissolved instantly.

Holding the cup, he took a deep breath and walked out of the office.

He walked slowly, as if he was considering whether his actions were right or wrong with each step.

Until he arrived at Han Zilu's hospital room.

He paused for a moment, but finally went inside.

===Chapter 326 Mr. Scotto===

Grand International Film and Television Base.

Xu Fan rushed over, and Old Zheng was already waiting outside the base.

Xu Fan looked around and saw thousands of people moving about outside the base. When he saw Old Zheng, Old Zheng said earnestly, "Whether it is in China or abroad, there are countless people who are rooted in this industry outside the film and television base. Even if they are battered and bruised, they just want a role, even if it is just a bit part."

Xu Fan looked at the extras who were asking around, seemingly inquiring about confirmation, and nodded, saying with deep agreement, "I've heard people talk about these things. I really don't understand. It's clearly very hard and tiring, so why do so many people still rush to do it one after another?"

Old Zheng said, "Because once you become famous, your future is bright. Perhaps your next bit role will be your chance to turn your life around. Being a bit player is like buying a lottery ticket. The number of people who become famous is just as small as the number of people who win the lottery."

Xu Fan could actually understand that humans are creatures with dreams.

Dreams are ethereal things, but they are very real for people.

Maybe one day you'll suddenly become famous, maybe one day you'll suddenly become rich, or maybe you'll improve through your own hard work.

Xu Fan could understand, but still found it somewhat difficult.

Grand International Film and Television Base has dozens of sections, such as the Chinese section, the British section, the American section, the Korean section, and so on.

Each section has its own story and meaning, and the existence of certain buildings is the best proof of this.

Old Zheng led Xu Fan inside at a leisurely pace, walking along the main road and chatting as they went.

To be precise, it was Mr. Zheng who was speaking, and Xu Fan who was listening.

Just then, a few people hurried over from not far away. When Old Zheng saw them, he couldn't help but smile and quickly went to greet them.

Xu Fan was slightly taken aback, and what he saw shocked him.

The man who hurried over seemed to be someone I recognized. Of course, it was I who recognized him, not the other way around.

If I remember correctly, it should be Scotto, a famous superstar from Scotland, and Scotto is also a violin master from Scotland.

Xu Fan's deepest impression of Scott was from a superhero blockbuster he once starred in, in which he played a steel giant. His incredibly handsome figure left a very deep impression on Xu Fan.

I never dreamed I'd run into someone here.

More importantly, he discovered that Mr. Zheng actually knew Scotto.

Old Zheng stepped forward and said, "Mr. Scotto, it's been a long time."

Scotto smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng, it's been a long time."

Scott was followed by about ten people, presumably Scott was filming some movie, and the people behind him were all his entourage. Xu Fan watched as Old Zheng and Scott chatted happily.

He really wanted to go up and chat with him. Although he wasn't a fan of celebrities, he had to admit that Scott was a true international superstar in his mind. No matter which movie he starred in, his acting was absolutely phenomenal.

Just then, Old Zheng took the lead in introducing: "Mr. Scotto, let me introduce you. This is Xu Fan from China. He has directed and starred in a movie and is quite well-known in China."

Scotto's gaze shifted to Xu Fan, then a slight light appeared in his eyes. He seemed to realize something and said, "I, my God, you are Mr. Xu Fan?"

Xu Fan was stunned. Hearing this, he realized that Scotto knew him and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Scotto, do you know me?"

Xu Fan addressed him with the polite form of address because, in his view, Scotto deserved his respect.

Scotto nodded solemnly and said, "Of course, I've heard your song 'GodisAGirl,' it's really great."

Xu Fan was slightly embarrassed, but also showed a delighted look as he said, "Mr. Scott, you flatter me. I have seen many of your films, and your acting in each one is excellent. I really like your work."

The two communicated entirely in English, and while the content of their conversation seemed to be mutual flattery, they both knew in their hearts that they genuinely admired each other.

Scotto said, "Mr. Zheng, you've been saying you'd introduce me to a friend during this meeting, but I really didn't expect to meet you."

Xu Fan actually wanted to say that too, but realizing that Scott had stolen his line, he couldn't help but say, "Yes, I'm also filled with disbelief."

Old Zheng, standing to the side, smiled as he watched the two and said, "It seems you two are destined to meet. Mr. Scotto, if you're not busy, let's take a stroll around."

Scotto said, "Of course, I came all the way here to greet you, so I'm happy to accompany you."

Xu Fan and Scott chatted happily about everything from movies to music.

The two had never met before and were living seemingly idyllic lives in their respective fields. However, from another perspective, they were both figures of great renown in each other's eyes. At this moment, they felt a sense of déjà vu, or rather, an instant connection.

Old Zheng stood to the side and nodded without anyone noticing.

As a result, Scotto's team began to fall behind and consciously moved to the back, while Xu Fan, Scotto, and Zheng Lao walked in front, chatting and laughing as they began to visit the Grand Film and Television Base.

Before long, Xu Fan looked into the distance and saw a group of Chinese people looking around. Old Zheng explained, "It's an invitation event from the Grand Country Film and Television Base, so naturally many people will come to visit. I'm just here because I'm bored."

Xu Fan was slightly moved. He knew that the other meaning was that they wanted to broaden his horizons or introduce him to some people, such as Scotto or Boss Zhou.

Xu Fan didn't say thank you, but he kept the help in his heart.

When the three of them arrived at the British-style section of the UK, Scotto pointed to the filming base inside and introduced it to Xu Fan and the other person: "The British-style base. Almost every TV series or movie in the UK has a place here. From various British-style buildings to various landmark buildings, there are models of different sizes. Some are even one-to-one replicas. It can be described as wonderful."

Old Zheng praised from the side, "I heard that in order to achieve better filming results, the Grand Film and Television Base built a one-to-one replica of a castle inside. I wonder if that's true?"

Scotto said, "It's true. The film studio cost over a billion pounds to build and is a one-to-one replica of our famous White Castle. Inside, many blank spaces were left for the films. Later, different film crews will add and rearrange new things inside according to their different needs to ensure that each film is different."

Xu Fan was utterly shocked. He never imagined that one of the castles in the Heroes section of a film and television base would cost over a billion yuan. This film and television base was indeed a bit extravagant, but it was undeniably excellent.

Although Xu Fan had little prior experience with film and television production, as a first-class director, he automatically familiarized himself with some domestic film and television bases.

It can't be said that it was automatic in his mind. To be precise, when the system was transforming his identity into that of a first-class director, all the knowledge he needed to be a director was essentially stored in his mind.

Xu Fan was well aware that the Hengshui Film and Television Base, currently the largest in China, was being built with the aim of becoming the world's number one, but construction takes time. Meanwhile, the Grand Country Global Film and Television Base was basically complete, which explained why it invited countless people from the global film and television industry to visit.

The three continued walking and came to the Japanese section, where women were coming and going. They were all playing minor roles, but everyone was wearing a kimono. In order to blend in better, they took small, slow steps, trying their best to learn the Japanese style.

Scotto even added, "Regardless of the section, the Grand Film and Television Base is doing its best to achieve perfect reproduction. Whether it's British, American, Japanese, or even the architectural style of your Chinese section, it's all very realistic."

Xu Fan and Old Zheng nodded slightly. The group's pace was neither too fast nor too slow.

Scotto acted like a tour guide for Xu Fan and Zheng Lao at the film studio, explaining the various things there in detail, including some of the buildings.

Just then, a royal palace came into view.

Although it was relatively small, both Xu Fan and Old Zheng were slightly taken aback. Scotto, who was standing next to them, naturally noticed their gazes and said with a smile, "That's right, the area ahead is the Chinese Plate. Inside, there are unique Chinese pavilion buildings and courtyard buildings. In fact, in order to film some movies that are in line with Chinese standards, the Kingdom of Gran specially built a small palace. Although it can't compare to the grandeur of the official Chinese palace, it has its own unique charm."

Looking at it from afar, Old Zheng couldn't help but say, "At first glance, it does have that vigor, but it lacks the feeling of dragons and phoenixes dancing."

Xu Fan seemed to be deep in thought. He didn't understand the meaning of the sentence, but he could roughly understand it. Although the palace was small, it was still a palace with one room. However, compared with the ancient palaces of China, this palace really felt a bit like a hybrid.

Just then, Xu Fan's brow furrowed in surprise, because he actually heard his own song, "GodisAGirl".

Scotto, who was standing nearby, naturally heard this as well and said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, the song playing in the China base right now is your 'Gods A Girl.' This song is popular not only in Gran, but also in other countries. Several of my Chinese friends also like this song."

Mr. Zheng said with a smile, "Xiao Fan's songs are indeed very good."

Xu Fan didn't care about that at the time; he simply said, "Let's go take a look."

Scotto nodded and said, "No problem, but the song doesn't sound like your original; it's a cover of 'Goddess A Girl'."

Xu Fan didn't seem to mind and said with a smile, "You sang quite well."

===Chapter 327 Encountering a Psychopath===

Within the Huaxia section, a dynamic song, "GodisAGirl," keeps playing.

However, the voice was definitely not Xu Fan's voice; it belonged to a girl, and the melody and tune were handled extremely well, essentially mimicking Xu Fan's voice to a certain extent.

It really sounds great. Even Xu Fan sincerely praised it, saying, "This cover singer has excellent control over the pitch. She must be a well-known singer from Grandia."
