Xu Fan asked in confusion, "Is this a promotional event for the TV series' release?"
Zhou Bingcheng said, "Yes, there will be media promotion and a live broadcast at that time. This theme song is very suitable for our TV series, so I would like to ask you to sing it again. Of course, I will pay you according to your commercial performance fee."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan realized that since Grandpa Zhou had already put it this way, it would be unreasonable for him to refuse. So he said, "Grandpa Zhou, since you value me so much, of course I can. However, there's no need for the performance fee. I'm just in Zhonghai anyway, so I'll just stop by and sing a song."
Grandpa Zhou refused outright, saying, "That won't do, Xiao Fan. The value of this song is immeasurable. I will give you a satisfactory price. Commercial performances also require payment, so you don't need to haggle with this old man."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan initially felt it was inappropriate, but upon reflection, he realized that, as the old man had said, one thing should be considered separately.
My relationship with Old Master Zhou is a personal one, so I'm helping him out.
However, this song and performance have essentially risen to a non-personal status, and naturally require corresponding incentives.
So he didn't refuse any longer and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then I'll gladly accept your invitation. After Grandpa Zhou arrives, you can come and visit me first."
Zhou Bingcheng said, "No need for that. I'm probably getting quite late. I'll send you my location later, and you can come on time."
Xu Fan said, "No problem, then Grandpa Zhou, see you the day after tomorrow."
Xu Fan hung up the phone, looked at the sky outside the window, and then called out to Yang Jiaci, who was not far away, "Jiaci, you guys have been doing well lately."
Yang Jiaci walked over with a smile and said, "Thanks to you, it's not bad."
Xu Fan nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll be going now."
Yang Jiaci said, "Brother Fan, before you leave, there's something I want to give you."
Xu Fan was taken aback and asked curiously, "What is it?"
Yang Jiaci handed over two tickets and said, "These are tickets to our band's concert. If you have time, I hope you can do me the honor of attending."
Xu Fan glanced at it and said, "Wow, it's really good. Okay, I'll remember it."
After Xu Fan finished speaking, he left the recording studio of the Explosion Band. He chose to record here again this time. He had just answered the phone and Yang Jiacai was standing not far away. During this period of time, Yang Jiacai and the others had gradually become more and more capable.
This is evident from the fact that they can take the initiative to organize concerts.
Xu Fan left the concert tickets in his car and drove straight home.
After returning home, Xu Fan had nothing better to do, so he opened Weibo and took a look at the official Weibo account of Zhou Bingcheng's TV series.
Seeing that the promotional Weibo post had indeed been released, he thought for a moment, then clicked to retweet and added, "See you there."
Zhou Bingcheng, upon seeing Xu Fan's repost of the message, couldn't help but smile as he looked at Weibo.
This kid is indeed different from others; this simple action, though seemingly insignificant, is actually helping him.
He called Mr. Zheng and thanked him again.
The internet has been relatively calm these past few days, but even after all this time, Xu Fan's previous songs are still very popular.
Especially "Jiangnan" and "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style" have become everyone's favorite songs offline and in KTV, without exception.
Of course, besides these, Xu Fan's other songs are also very popular. For example, "Fly Higher" performed at the New Year's Eve gala was very popular, and it can even be said that it surpassed many other songs, with its popularity rivaling that of "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend".
Of course, Xiao Zihan's song "A Diao" also caused a great stir on the Internet, with countless netizens discussing it.
Especially after Xiao Zihan uploaded the recorded version of "A Diao", netizens were surprised to find that apart from the singing, the other roles were all played by Xu Fan.
Online discussions are pouring in, with all sorts of comments.
But today, another explosive event occurred on the internet. The internet, which had been gradually calming down, was stunned by Xu Fan's repost.
Whether you've seen the TV series before or not, Xu Fan's repost sparked another round of discussion online.
With Xu Fan's repost on Weibo, the TV series "The Fairy Couple" suddenly became a hit across the entire internet.
Furthermore, Xu Fan added a "See you there" after reposting, which means that Xu Fan will attend the press conference for "The Fairy Couple" in two days.
This sudden news shocked countless fans, including those who were already fans of Zhou Bingcheng's TV series.
Xu Fan's sudden addition added a unique element of excitement to this already popular drama.
After all, Xu Fan is the hottest celebrity right now, bar none.
The addition of such a celebrity naturally attracted the attention of countless people, both inside and outside the industry, who were filled with disbelief. Similarly, when Xu Fan's news was released, many speculations arose online.
The most common speculation is that Xu Fan will sing a song.
This song is very likely related to the TV series called "The Fairy Couple".

Xu Fan ignored all the speculations online; in fact, he hadn't even seen them, let alone considered them.
He simply retweeted the post and then turned off his phone.
I was bored, so I opened Douyin and started watching.
The content on Douyin is sometimes funny, sometimes a little sad, sometimes nostalgic, and sometimes reminiscent of the past.
It's often said that Douyin (TikTok) is addictive, and that's actually true, because Douyin's understanding of its users truly surpasses everything else.
Even Xu Fan felt that Douyin was incredibly powerful, even somewhat terrifying.
While watching Douyin (TikTok), he stumbled upon a video.
The video shows a girl sitting upright, seemingly in front of a dressing table. She is not dancing or singing; she simply says quietly, "Long time no see, I missed you."
Xu Fan knew the girl in the video.
That live stream that's been shut down for so long should be starting again soon.
Xu Fan subconsciously scrolled into her homepage, only to find that all of her previous videos had been deleted.
All that's left now is this one: "Long time no see."
"Long time no see" is probably a message to his fans.
Xu Fan opened the video comments, and most netizens replied with "Long time no see," while some netizens expressed how much they missed him.
Xu Fan couldn't help but smile, muttering to himself, "You see, there are actually quite a few people who like you."
Xu Fan glanced at her number of followers on Douyin; it was less than before, but still a lot.
Obviously, some of these fans may be die-hard fans, but it's certain that not everyone follows her because they like her.
This live stream room belongs to Xia Ziling.
Xu Fan thought about it for a moment, and in the end, he swiped away without even clicking on a single red heart.
He didn't know why, maybe he just didn't want to bother them.
This excuse can convince myself.
Two days later, Xu Fan checked the time and the address given by Grandpa Zhou, and feeling it was about time, he closed the door and left home.
Driving that seemingly ordinary car, Xu Fan felt quite satisfied.
At least you don't have to worry about the embarrassment of not being able to find a car when you go out, or being recognized by fans and then blocked from leaving.
Zhonghai, this city is filled with a bustling atmosphere.
There are many places that can hold press conferences, but only a few that can also serve as venues for publicity.
The entire third floor of the Zhonghai Entertainment Building was the venue for the press conference and promotional event for the TV series "The Legend of the Immortal Couple".
When Xu Fan arrived in his car, everyone entering had to register their real names on the spot. Fortunately, Xu Fan had contacted Grandpa Zhou in advance and had a staff member pick him up.
Of course, the actual situation was that Mr. Zhou called him in advance to tell him that too many of Xu Fan's fans had come to the press conference, and many were waiting for him to appear at the door, so he should prepare in advance.
Entering through the back door went smoothly, though it was a little awkward, but at least there weren't any major problems.
When Xu Fan met Grandpa Zhou, before he could even speak, Zhou Bingcheng rushed up and said excitedly, "Xiao Fan, you've come! You've worked so hard, thank you so much."
Xu Fan said, "Grandpa Zhou, you're too kind. This is all I should do."
Zhou Bingcheng didn't stand on ceremony with Xu Fan and said, "Xiao Zhao has already made preparations in the back. He has set up a live broadcast device himself."
Xu Fan pointed at the picture and said, "Fatty told me about it."
Zhou Bingcheng nodded and said, "Okay, Xiao Fan, you can rest for a while. The press conference is about to start. I'll let you know in advance when it's your turn."
Xu Fan nodded, but still asked, "Grandpa Zhou, besides singing, is there anything else I need to do later?"
Zhou Bingcheng said, "Nothing else, just a few words to say and interact with your fans. There are quite a few people who came to hear you sing tonight, and you could even say that most of them came for your songs."
Xu Fan waved his hand modestly, but Zhou Bingcheng said, "There's no need to be modest about that."
Xu Fan smiled awkwardly, and Zhou Bingcheng said a few more words before running off to get busy again.
Xu Fan stood backstage watching the bustling crowd. Someone poured him a cup of tea, and he sat there quietly waiting. Before long, Xu Fan saw the fat man running over from not far away, panting, and saying, "I'm exhausted. There are just too many people here tonight."
Xu Fan nodded and said, "Grandpa Zhou has a very high influence in the TV drama field, so it's normal for so many people to come and participate."
The fat man rolled his eyes at Xu Fan and said, "What do you know? You say it's normal? It's not normal at all, okay?"
Xu Fan looked at the fat man with a puzzled expression. The fat man said, "You should know that a normal press conference for a TV series is just inviting some media, doing a simple announcement about the premiere, and then doing various promotions. There's no way it would turn into such a big scene."
Xu Fan was even more confused, when he heard the fat man say, "Hey, are you really that clueless or just pretending? It's all because of your Weibo. Everyone on Weibo thinks you'll sing tonight, so most people are here because of your singing. No, not most, to be precise, nine out of ten, um, I think that's about it."
Xu Fan smiled awkwardly and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure?"
Zhao Feiyang nodded and said, "What's there to be uncertain about? Just go out and ask anyone why they came, and nine out of ten will say it's for you."
Xu Fan shrugged. "Is this my fault?"
The fat man didn't say much about the issue but went straight to the point: "Grandpa Zhou and his team really made a killing this time. They gave you six million for your performance."
Xu Teng stood up abruptly and asked in surprise, "How much more?"
Zhao Feiyang said, "Six million."
Xu Fan covered his head and said, "This is too much. I'll just sing one song."
Zhao Feiyang shook his head and said, "This is the minimum price they offered after having experts assess it. It's still a relatively low price because Grandpa Zhou was worried that if he offered too much, you wouldn't accept it. I was thinking, he could have offered more. If you don't want it, I'll take it."
Xu Fan glared at the fat man and said, "That's too much."
Zhao Feiyang patted Xu Fan on the shoulder and said, "You haven't figured out your own position. You need to know that you are completely different now than you were before. At the Painkiller press conference, if you wrote a song, it would be perfectly normal for others to give you 20 million."
Xu Fan did not refute, but nodded. Just then, a staff member ran over from a distance and said to Xu Fan, "Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhou invites you."
Xu Fan nodded and followed the other person to the front desk.
Zhao Feiyang shrugged and said a few words of encouragement before leaving, disappearing without a trace.
