Old Zheng said, "I have an old friend here who wants to ask you for a favor. Do you want to come back and talk to him?"
Xu Fan was taken aback. He wanted to ask what kind of help it was, but hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, we'll be back soon."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Fan called Fatty, and then took his mother and Chen Yuanyuan back to Old Zheng's house.
As soon as Xu Fan entered the house, he noticed an elderly man around sixty years old sitting next to Old Zheng. Without saying a word, Old Zheng called out to Xu Fan as soon as he entered, "Young Xu, come here."
Xu Fan walked over, looked at the old man, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Who is this? He looks somewhat familiar."
Old Zheng said, "You can just call him Grandpa Zhou. His name is Zhou Bingcheng."
Xu Fan was taken aback, then quickly went up to shake hands and said, "So it's Grandpa Zhou! Hello, hello! I watched your TV dramas when I was a child. It's so nice to see you today. You look so young!"
Zhou Bingcheng laughed heartily and said, "Old Zheng said you have a sweet tongue, and it's true."
Old Zheng said, "Sit down, Old Zhou. Your arrival is quite timely. Young Xu has been taking his mother to Beijing these past few days. You see, this is quite a coincidence."
Zhou Bingcheng said, "It's clear that Xiao Xu is a filial son."
Xu Fan smiled slightly and looked at Zhou Bingcheng, saying, "Grandpa Zhou, did you come here specifically to see me?"
Before Zhou Bingcheng could speak, Old Zheng said, "That's right. He made a special trip to visit you. Look at those two catties of good tea over there, that's what the old man brought. He really went to great lengths to find you!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan quickly looked at Zhou Bingcheng and said, "I don't know what Grandpa Zhou wants to see me about. I am truly ashamed."
Zhou Bingcheng laughed heartily and said, "It's not a big deal, but after thinking it over and over, I realized that only you could possibly do this, so I came to find Lao Zheng specifically to pass on a message."
Old Zheng shook his head and said, "Old Zhou, don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by 'passing on a message'? You clearly asked me to go in your place. Now that the person is here, you can say it yourself."
Xu Fan looked at Zhou Bingcheng with a puzzled expression. Zhou Bingcheng said, "I've been preparing for a new TV series all year. It's been a while since filming wrapped up, but we still haven't found a suitable theme song for it. I've approached many composers and lyricists, but the songs we've gotten are all somewhat unsatisfactory."
Xu Fan asked curiously, "Grandpa Zhou wants me to write a theme song?"
Zhou Bingcheng said, "Your previous film, 'Lost and Found,' was excellent, and the three songs you wrote for it were all very beautiful and perfectly matched the theme. So, I thought you could give it a try, which is why I came to you specifically."
Xu Fan then understood. He already knew Zhou Bingcheng; he was extremely famous.
Especially considering he has directed many well-known TV dramas and is a true bigwig in the industry, it's truly an honor for him to have been specifically sought out. Moreover, seeing the close relationship between Zhou Bingcheng and Old Zheng, he said, "Grandpa Zhou, you flatter me. It's an honor that you've contacted me, but I'm not sure if I can write it. Would it be convenient for you to see a sample?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bingcheng was overjoyed and said, "Xiao Xu, does that mean you've agreed?"
Xu Fan nodded and said, "I'm willing to give it a try."

Upon hearing Xu Fan's reply, Zhou Bingcheng smiled broadly and said to Xu Fan, "Then thank you so much."
Xu Fan shook his head and said, "Grandpa Zhou, you're too kind. But to be clear, whether it will work or not, we'll have to see the footage first."
Zhou Bingcheng said, "No problem, you don't need to be so polite. I came here specifically because I trust you."
Old Zheng, who was standing next to him, also said, "Your Grandpa Zhou is a truly top-notch director in the television industry. This TV series took a whole year to prepare and film. It will definitely be a classic TV series. You'll have to put your heart into it."
Xu Fan nodded and said, "Grandpa Zheng, don't worry, I will do my best."
With the matter temporarily settled, Grandma Tao, knowing that Xu Fan and the others were leaving, personally started cooking. Xu's mother, of course, also went to the kitchen to help.
Xu Fan and Old Zheng chatted idly.
That evening, Xu Fan, Zhao Feiyang, Xu's mother, and Shui'er flew back to Zhonghai from Yanjing.
After New Year's Day, the people on Zhonghai Street seemed to get busy. With the annual Spring Festival getting closer, couplets and other items had already been put up on the streets.
After getting off the plane, Zhao Feiyang said goodbye to Xu Fan and left in a hurry.
However, before leaving, Xu Fan still advised, "I don't object to your relationship with Zhang Yuci, but you should still be careful about some things and keep your guard up."
Zhao Feiyang grunted and said, "I understand," before leaving without saying anything more.
Xu Fan shook his head as he watched Zhao Feiyang's retreating figure, not thinking too much about it.
Shui'er, held in her mother's arms, had been dozing off on the plane, and after getting off the plane, she fell asleep again in the taxi.
Xu's mother glanced at Xu Fan and said, "Is Xiao Zhao in love?"
Xu Fan nodded, then suddenly looked up at his mother and said, "Hmm, Mom, how did you know?"
Xu's mother chuckled and said, "Mom isn't deaf, of course I heard what you just said."
Xu Fan gave an awkward smile, nodded, and said, "That's true."
Xu's mother said, "Logically, I shouldn't say anything, but Fanfan, you and Xiao Zhao have a good relationship. It's good to remind you of some things, but you can't go too far."
Xu Fan was taken aback, but after a moment of confusion, he understood what his mother meant. He nodded and said, "Mom, don't worry, Fatty isn't that petty. I'm just worried that the kid will really go on a diet."
Xu Fan let out a slight "Eh" and said, "Oh, then I'm not worried about that."
As the two chatted, they soon arrived at Huanxi Shatang. Xu Fan held Shui'er in his arms and they quickly returned home.
After washing up, Xu Fan returned to his room.
Zhou Bingcheng gave Xu Fan a copy of a TV series sample, which had 46 episodes in total, quite a lot.
Xu Fan didn't finish reading it all at once, and of course, he couldn't finish it anyway.
Lying in bed, he got bored and started reading.
Since I had nothing better to do anyway, I decided to watch this fantasy drama, which tells the story of the protagonist's daily life of cultivating immortality.
As night deepened, the TV series on my computer continued to play.
Xu Fan thought the acting of the actors on TV, the choice of scenery, and even the plot were all excellent.
This also shows that Zhou Bingcheng's television directing and screenwriting abilities are indeed extremely strong.
A TV series takes more than a year to film, and the effort required to make it must be immense.
Since Xu Fan had agreed to Zhou Bingcheng's request, he naturally wouldn't be too casual about it. His first thought was to take a quick look at the TV series. However, he didn't expect that he would become so engrossed in this movie, which was not yet fully formed and was only a preliminary template, that he couldn't help but want to continue watching.
Xu Fan went to bed very late that night.
The next morning, after washing up, Xu Fan looked at the scenery outside the window and then started watching TV again.
This day should have been the most carefree and leisurely time for Xu Fan in recent days, but he was actually attracted by a TV series.
In the past, movies from parallel worlds would always attract her to watch them herself.
But now he's attracted to a TV series, which Xu Fan himself finds hard to believe, but the fact is undeniable.
Xu's mother cooked dinner and called him to eat. He took the food into his room to watch TV.
This prompted his mother to come and watch, and as a result, Xu Fan and his mother became the first viewers of the TV series before it even aired.
While watching TV, Xu's mother said, "The story is really good, but your Uncle Zhou just copied it for you like that. Aren't you afraid that you'll spread it around?"
Xu Fan said with a smile, "Mom, don't worry. Uncle Zhou encrypted the copy. It can only be opened once and will be automatically destroyed after that."
Although Xu Fan felt this was wrong, he could understand it.
Xu's mother nodded and said, "This TV series is indeed good. Have you thought about what songs to sing?"
Xu Fan shook his head and said, "I'm still thinking about it. Let's finish watching TV first."
Watching all 46 episodes of a TV series takes time, so Xu Fan wasn't in a hurry. However, his mother repeatedly reminded him to write it down carefully.
Writing songs is not easy, and Xu Fan is not good at it either. This time, he has no choice but to turn his attention back to the Favor Value Mall.
After watching the entire series, Xu Fan and his mother both felt a little regretful, as if they hadn't had enough.
Xu's mother said, "I will definitely watch this TV series when it airs. Fanfan, you must write well." Then she left Xu Fan's room.
Xu Fan lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, his thoughts wandering through the Friendship Value Mall, hoping to find a decent song.
Although the story in this TV series is about fantasy and martial arts, it is not difficult to see some romantic storylines. Moreover, these romantic relationships are extremely realistic, with some obsessive love, and the final result is always slightly different from what one would expect.
It's really difficult for Xu Fan to find a decent song.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but he finally jumped out of bed happily. He had finally found a nice and suitable song.
While Xu Fan was happy to have found a suitable song, he was unaware that Chen Yuanyuan, far away in Yanjing, had come to his villa.
When Chen Yuanyuan arrived, Xia Ziling was playing the piano in the room. Her voice was melodious and extremely pleasant to listen to. Chen Yuanyuan stood behind Xia Ziling in surprise until Xia Ziling played a piece called "Playful Pleasure." Then she exclaimed, "Your piano playing is getting better and better. You're almost as good as him."
Xia Ziling turned to Chen Yuanyuan and asked, "How long has he been in Yanjing?"
Chen Yuanyuan said, "Five days."
Xia Ziling shook her head helplessly and said, "He didn't come to see me."
Just as Chen Yuanyuan was about to say something, Xia Ziling said, "I know, I understand."
After saying those six affirmative words, she looked at Chen Yuanyuan and said, "Yuanyuan, can you do me a favor?"
Chen Yuanyuan looked at Xia Ziling with a puzzled expression and asked, "What kind of help?"
Xia Ziling said, "Let's go to Grand Kingdom."

===Chapter 419 Yang Jiaci's Ticket===
Xu Fan has finally found a suitable theme song for the TV series directed by Mr. Zhou Bingcheng.
Moreover, in his opinion, this piece of music was very suitable. Coincidentally, right after Xu Fan successfully recorded the song, Mr. Zhou Bingcheng called.
Xu Fan answered the phone with joy and said, "Hello, Grandpa Zhou!"
On the other end of the phone, Grandpa Zhou Bingcheng said, "Hello Xiaofan, I've been losing sleep these past few days, anxiously waiting. I just couldn't wait any longer, so I had to ask."
Xu Fan said with a smile, "Grandpa Zhou's call came at just the right time. I just finished recording the piece."
"Oh, so it's already written?" Zhou Bingcheng asked excitedly on the other end of the phone.
Xu Fan nodded and said, "That's right. I don't know if it suits your taste. I'll send you the music now so you can listen to it first."
Zhou Bingcheng said, "Okay, okay, then you must remember, I'll listen first."
Xu Fan could hear the excitement in Old Master Zhou's voice. Xu Fan was also full of confidence in the song. After hanging up the phone, he sent it directly to Zhou Bingcheng.
A short while later, Grandpa Zhou called again, his excited voice ringing out: "Xiao Fan, it sounds so good, really, so good! And it perfectly matches the TV series. This is exactly what I wanted. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. I don't even know how to express my feelings."
Xu Fan quickly said, "Grandpa Zhou, you're too kind. Since I promised, I'll definitely do my best to complete it. I'm glad you like it."
"I love it, I love it, I love it so much."
Xu Fan could hear the joy in Zhou Bingcheng's words, and then Zhou Bingcheng continued, "By the way, Xiao Fan, we have a TV series premiere and promotional event in China the day after tomorrow. Do you think you can spare some time to come over?"
