Andy Lau said with a smile, "Not bad, Director Tsui is such a busy man! I haven't seen you for half a day."
Xu Fan could tell it was a joke, and said with a smile, "Well, Mr. Lu Yong came to see me, so we chatted for a bit."
Then Xu Fan said, "How about we film your scenes first?"
Andy Lau said, "Sure, I don't have many scenes anyway."
Xu Fan said with a smile, "Then get ready, you should be able to get it in one take, right?"
Andy Lau gave an OK sign, quickly went to the designated location, and then got ready.
The cinematographer, lighting technician, and other staff members naturally dared not delay, and filming of the movie "Dying to Survive" officially began.
"A!"

===Chapter 364, Second Theme Song===
Andy Lau only made a cameo appearance in this movie; to put it simply, he was just playing a minor role!
But Andy Lau's acting skills are beyond question, and he quickly got it all done, drawing cheers from the set, which could be considered a great start to filming.
The first scene was filmed so quickly, and just as Andy Lau himself said, it was done in one take.
Faced with such a start, the confidence of the others also surged instantly. Xu Fan's shooting mode was basically the same: shoot individual shots first, and then shoot scenes with his co-stars.
Xu Shan himself is a director and an excellent actor. When he saw Andy Lau nail the scene in one take, he was filled with confidence.
He showed no fear in front of the camera, and performed a segment in the simplest and most unpretentious way.
When Xu Fan rang out the "Cut," he let out a long sigh of relief.
This part was fine, and the rest of the performance went much more smoothly.
When the day's performances came to an end, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Filming for this movie has only just begun. Everyone is exhausted after a day of performances, mainly because it's the first day of filming and there's so much to do.
However, not everyone can get it right in one take; some scenes even require a very long time and many takes.
Xu Fan understood, but his tone on set was still rather harsh. Of course, he mostly directed those whose performances were subpar or who consistently failed to pass muster.
Xu Shan, who is one of the lead actors and also a director, would occasionally share his own understanding during the on-set learning process.
The day is over, and everyone is exhausted.
But everyone was very excited and thrilled.
If this movie hadn't been filmed, you wouldn't have been able to truly grasp its content and meaning. But during filming, everyone performed very seriously.
Because this story is really good.
That evening, after discussing it with Liao Fanxing, Xu Fan threw a party.
Of course, because everyone was very tired, there was no jumping or dancing. We simply sat together, gathered in one place, and had a happy gathering and chat.
This was the first night of the movie's opening. Xu Fan said, "We went all out at the beginning. This party was meant to fill everyone with passion!"
After he finished speaking, cheers erupted, and the fruit and wine became a delicious treat for everyone.
Xu Fan, Liu Tianwang, Xiao Zihan, Liao Fanxing, and Xu Shan sat together, chatting casually.
Every staff member of Fanxing Pictures did their best to assist with the filming. Seeing them shake off their daytime fatigue and cheer, Liao Fanxing suddenly sighed, "Perhaps, this is how a good team begins."
Andy Lau chimed in, "Xiao Fan's ideas are indeed quite broad. However, I'd really like to ask, have we decided on the theme song for our movie yet?"
When this question arose, everyone's eyes instinctively turned to Xu Fan.
Clearly, when it comes to theme songs, everyone's heart essentially belongs to Xu Fan.
This has become a consensus. Although Xu Fan only wrote the theme song for the movie "Lost and Found", when asked this question, everyone felt that Xu Fan should have written the theme song.
Or rather, the songwriter should be Xu Fan.
As everyone looked at Xu Fan, Xu Fan smiled and said, "Everything is ready."
Xiao Zihan asked expectantly from the side, "I knew it! You must have prepared. Tell me how many songs you've prepared? Also, how about you sing one for us to hear in advance?"
Xu Shan added from the side, "Mr. Xu's songs are really good, and the kind you never get tired of listening to. I'm really looking forward to this theme song."
As everyone discussed, Xu Fan said, "I've prepared two songs. One of them, you've all already heard."
Liao Fanxing asked in confusion, "I've heard it before, is it one of your previous songs?"
Xu Fan nodded and said, "The first time I appeared in front of the public was when a group of children sang."
Xiao Zihan chimed in, "As long as it's ordinary, it's that song from that online trending topic, something like 'Xu Fan and the Kids,' right?"
Xu Fan nodded and said, "Yes, the song 'As Long As We Are Ordinary' fits the theme of this movie very well. Both the lyrics and the melody are extremely suitable."
Andy Lau nodded and said, "I must say, it really suits me. I also remember that song very well, especially the last line, 'I don't want the halo of God, I only want your ordinariness, my heart and my life are without regret, the fire of life has been lit.' I've always thought it was beautifully written."
Xiao Zihan asked, "What about the other song you prepared?"
Xu Fan said, "The song is called 'Life is Like a Summer Flower'."
Before filming began, or more precisely, during preparations for "Dying to Survive," Xu Fan had already prepared the theme songs. One was naturally "As Long As We're Ordinary," and the other was "Life is Like a Summer Flower," which is also one of the theme songs for this parallel world film.
Upon hearing the song title Xu Fan mentioned, everyone was slightly taken aback. Xiao Zihan asked in confusion, "What does that mean?"
Xu Fan said with a smile, "It means exactly what it says: life should bloom as brilliantly as summer flowers."
Everyone suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly. Xu Shan said from the side, "Mr. Xu, why don't you sing for us here?"
Xiao Zihan also said with a smile, "Sing, sing, you've piqued my interest, you can't refuse."
Everyone chimed in, and even the actors who overheard the conversation joined in, inviting Xu Fan to sing.
Xu Fan smiled and said, "Okay, anyway, this song was written for the movie. Now that the movie is being filmed, it might be nice to let everyone get a feel for the atmosphere of the music in advance."
Liao Fanxing said, "Perhaps we can promote the song in advance, and that should also have a good effect on promoting the movie."
Xu Fan said, "It's not impossible!"
Xiao Zihan said, "Hey, stop fooling around, hurry up and sing, I can't wait."
After the voice faded, Andy Lau turned around, looked at the lively crowd, and said loudly, "Everyone, stop for a moment. Director Tsui is going to sing the theme song of our movie. Come and listen to the song."
"Ah, is Brother Fan going to sing? Ahhh, I love it!"
"I can't help it, I just love listening to Fan Ge's songs. I'm an extra on set, and today I actually have the chance to hear Fan Ge sing in front of me, it's great!"
"I'm so excited! We can hear the movie theme song ahead of time!"
The crowd began to murmur and walked towards Xu Fan's table. Xu Fan coughed and said, "I think I'll play the accompaniment."
Liao Fanxing stood up and called out. A waiter jogged over and said, "The equipment is right next to us."
Xu Fan nodded and followed the waiter to the device next to him, where he inserted a USB drive and selected songs.
The waiter brought over a microphone and said with a whoosh, "Brother Fan, try out the microphone, I really like you."
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, and Xu Fan smiled and said thank you to the male waiter.
Then, after testing the microphone and finding no problems, he said with a smile, "I feel like I'm giving a concert. Everyone, please sit down."
"Brother Fan, we can just stand here."
"Brother Fan, you can just sing, it's okay."
The crowd cheered loudly. Xu Fan was somewhat helpless. Xiao Zihan, who was next to him, didn't say anything, but made a heart shape with her hands.
Xu Fan smiled, and the melody finally appeared. Xu Fan nodded and began to hum along softly.
“ciwozhuu,ciwozhuu,owoyiye,eiwoyiya”
As the melody began and Xu Fan hummed along, everyone thought the melody was nice, but what was Xu Fan singing about?
Completely bewildered, utterly bewildered, or even a hundred times bewildered?
In any case, all the staff and actors on site were dumbfounded and didn't understand what Xu Fan was singing.
Xiao Zihan thought the melody was very nice, but she still couldn't understand what Xu Fan was singing. She said in confusion, "It doesn't seem to be an English song."
Andy Lau, standing nearby, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be either Gossip or German."
Xu Shan asked doubtfully, "Could it be French? It doesn't really sound like it."
The murmurs gradually dissipated, and no one understood what they were saying; in fact, Xu Fan didn't understand either.
But he didn't know why, he just sang it out unconsciously, as if it were memorized.
That line wasn't in the lyrics at all, but when he sang it, it didn't feel out of place at all; it just felt perfectly normal.
The melody continued, and Xu Fan finally began to sing the actual lyrics of the song.
It's unknown how long it slept in the darkness.
I wonder how difficult it will be to open my eyes.
I came from afar, and it just so happens that you are here too.
Obsessed with wandering through this world, I am wild for her.
Xu Fan's voice was extremely slow, but it was this slow and gentle voice that made everyone unconsciously fall into it; it was a truly gentle and pleasant sound.
The melody of this song is calm and slow. After the initial unidentified lyrics, it instantly transforms into a peaceful vocal style.
There was no great joy or sorrow, no turmoil or distress, no angry shouts; there was only peace and tranquility, and that slow pace was extremely comfortable.
Xu Fan himself also really likes this song, both the lyrics and the melody.
But this was also the first time he sang this song. When that emotion involuntarily flowed into him and was then sung out through his own voice, the feeling was not oppressive; on the contrary, it was a feeling of ease and freedom.
It's like an old storyteller telling a wonderful story.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, and there was no more shouting or noise. Everyone stared intently at Xu Fan.
They were all listening attentively to Xu Fan's singing, and Xu Fan himself was singing earnestly as well.
I am this dazzling moment.
It's a fleeting flame streaking across the sky.
I'll do anything for you.
I will be extinguished and never come back.
