The people at the table stared in utter astonishment at the small-eyed man.

Xu Fan shook his head and said, "I don't know what they're thinking. Let's eat, let's eat quickly and stop talking about this."

Zhao Feiyang said disdainfully from the side, "You talk as if you are that damn snake. Okay, that's enough."

Xu Fan glared at Zhao Feiyang, feeling utterly helpless. He couldn't very well say that he was the author.

Judging from Fatty's current tendency to keep talking about "damned snakes," he might even drag me into writing Ghost Blows Out the Light 3.

The conversation remained at a moderate level for the time being, so everyone started talking about other things. However, after finishing their meal, Zhao Feiyang brought up the topic again, this time on a different subject.

Zhao Feiyang watched Xu Fan's retreating figure as he washed the pots and said, "The arrangements for the Lantern Festival Gala at Zhonghai TV have been finalized. You'll need to sing two songs on the night of the Lantern Festival. Do you want to prepare?"

While washing the pot, Xu Fan turned to look at him and said, "So, do you mean a new song or an old song?"

Zhao Feiyang said, "Given your current fame, either a new song or an old song is fine. It all depends on whether you've written any new songs recently."

Xu Fan thought for a moment and said, "Here's what we'll do. Wait a moment and I'll give you two songs. Then you can check them out with the TV station to see if they're okay. They're new songs. If they're okay, I'll sing them right away. But you have to make sure it's kept confidential."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feiyang said seriously, "Don't worry about it, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

Xu Fan nodded, cleaned up the pots and pans, and returned to his room. He took out an empty USB drive, copied two songs that were suitable for the Lantern Festival, and handed it to Zhao Feiyang, saying, "Please put in some effort for this. Since I promised, I will still go."

The fat man nodded and said, "I know, but what are your thoughts on the world tour you mentioned before? Since we're sitting together today, let's talk about it."

Xu Fan nodded and sat down to the side, saying, "I plan to hold both the first and last battles in our country."

Zhao Feiyang nodded and said, "That's no problem. So, how many sessions will you hold in total?"

Xu Fan thought for a moment and said, "A global tour is naturally going to all over the world. That's my plan. Let me tell you my thoughts first, and then you can give your opinion, and we'll discuss everything."

Zhao Feiyang nodded and said, "No problem, you tell me first."

Xu Fan didn't hesitate any longer and said directly, "The first stop will be in China. I haven't decided on the specific location yet. As for the second stop, I'd like to go to Grand City."

Zhao Feiyang paused for a moment, then looked at Xu Fan and said, "The second stop is Grand City, there must be something else going on."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "There is some, but not entirely. It's mainly because Grand is the first country I've ever been abroad, and Grand City is the first foreign city I've ever visited. Plus, it's a developed country, so completing the concert tour shouldn't be a big problem."

Zhao Feiyang nodded and said, "I have no objection to this location choice, so how about the third stop?"

Xu Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Our planet has a total of seven continents, but South America is one continent, and Antarctica has no countries. In reality, it's only five continents. So I plan to go to the remaining continent, which is the third continent, to the city of Mos, the land of the fighting people. What do you think?"

===Chapter 557 The Lantern Festival Gala is About to Begin===

Xu Fan's second choice was Mos City, and one of the reasons was indeed as he had thought: he wanted to travel to every continent.

Another reason is the song "Moscow Doesn't Have Tears." Although it's in Chinese, it really touched him, and he thought he might give it a try.

Zhao Feiyang nodded and said, "Okay, although the Russians are rough around the edges, they have a good ear for music, oh, I mean, a knack for music. I support it."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Next is the United States, and after that, it's Australia. Then we'll find another country in the south of our capital."

Zhao Feiyang nodded and said, "Actually, I have no objection to your idea, but I think we should be cautious. Moss City, the United States, and the United Kingdom are all fine, but going to Australia or a country in our south may not be successful. You have to think that although music has no borders, the medium of music and the audience are different, so the results will inevitably be different. Therefore, I suggest that in addition to the three countries mentioned above, we can also go to the romantic country of Brazil, or go to the country of Bagua."

Xu Fan was slightly curious, and Zhao Feiyang continued, "At least these countries have a sufficient entertainment culture."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Okay, if that's what you say, it's actually possible. I plan to set the date after the Lantern Festival, but you can decide the specific time."

Zhao Feiyang nodded and said, "In that case, I will plan out the entire itinerary, including the schedule, and then I will communicate with you about it."

Xu Fan nodded, and the two talked about this issue for a long time.

A long time passed before Zhao Feiyang left.

Xu Fan looked at Xiao Pu helplessly and said, "Excuse me, we need to talk about some work-related matters."

Xiao Pu gently shook her head and said, "I have never blamed you, and I have never said anything about being sorry."

Xu Fan smiled gently and looked at her, asking, "Would you like to go for a walk?"

Xiao Pu was naturally happy to go, and the two strolled around the Huanxi Shatang residential area for a long time. Xu Fan wanted to stay at home, but Xiao Pu insisted on going back, so Xu Fan had no choice but to send Xiao Pu back.

On the way back, Xu Fan thought about many things that were to come.

Whether it's The Coming One Season 2, the global tour, or even the Lantern Festival Gala on China Overseas TV, these are all things worth paying attention to.

For the next three or four days, Xu Fan's time was quite peaceful, but this peace also made him somewhat helpless. It would be very difficult to complete the task in English, since he really couldn't find an opportunity to sing these days.

Just then, Xu Fan received a call from Xiao Gu.

Xiao Gu's first words after hearing Xu Fan answer the phone were: "Mr. Xu, congratulations!"

Xu Fan was taken aback for a moment, then asked curiously, "Editor Xiao Gu, what happened? Should I be congratulated?"

Xiao Gu excitedly said, "Your novel 'The Old Man and the Sea' has been nominated for the Maodun Literary Prize."

Xu Fan was stunned. So fast?

The key point is that he didn't even know this would happen. He only exchanged the novel because he was allied with that song, so he exchanged it casually.

To be nominated by Mao Dun Literature is truly remarkable.

Although he already knew the novel was truly amazing while reading it, he was still somewhat surprised to hear this news.

Moreover, he knew very well that he would only be able to redeem the Chinese version, because as far as he knew, the original work was in English.

Seeing that Xu Fan remained silent for a long time, Xiao Gu knew how excited he was. She happily said, "Mr. Xu, after reading your novel, we felt that it had great real-world relevance, so we took the liberty of participating in the selection on your behalf. We were successfully nominated, and the official results will be announced in a few days. I will call you then."

Xu Fan nodded, a slight joy welling up inside him, and said, "Then thank you very much, Editor Xiao Gu."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Fan fell into deep thought.

Before I could think any further, the phone rang again.

Xu Fan glanced at the phone and realized it was Han Zilu.

Han Zilu has been extremely busy with film projects lately.

When he called, Xu Fan asked curiously, "What's wrong, Zilu?"

When Han Zilu heard Xu Fan call her by her name, she was overjoyed and quickly said, "Brother Xu Fan, I have some good news to tell you."

She originally intended to call him President Xu, but when she heard Xu Fan call her Zilu, she abruptly changed it back.

Xu Fan became increasingly concerned, so he asked, "What news is it? Tell me about it."

Han Zilu said excitedly, "The box office has already exceeded 3.5 billion yuan. Isn't that good news?"

This number truly shocked Xu Fan, who couldn't help but say, "This is indeed good news. Are you implying there's other good news as well?"

Han Zilu nodded and said seriously, "That's right. Our film was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Film, and you and Xu Shan were both nominated for Best Actor. Our telephone scene was also nominated for Best Feature Film, and your film theme song was nominated for Best Film Theme Song."

Xu Fan was slightly surprised, but then he heard Han Zilu still talking. She continued, "Xiao Zihan has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress, while Zhao Yunyi has been nominated for Best Newcomer."

This time, Xu Fan was completely shocked.

One film, nominated for so many awards.

The key point is that this is the Golden Rooster Award.

The Golden Rooster Awards are completely different from the Warner Music Awards. The Golden Rooster Awards are a truly famous award both domestically and internationally, and also the most formal award.

Such a prestigious award and so many nominations for a single film demonstrate its success.

In addition, and most importantly...

Winning the Golden Rooster Award means you can be called a true Best Actor.

Therefore, both Xu Fan and Xu Fan have the opportunity to become true Best Actor and win the Golden Rooster Award.

Although it's just a nomination so far, it's definitely good news. Xu Fan couldn't help but praise, "Z is indeed good news. Zilu, you did a really great job."

Xu Fan meant to praise her, but when she heard the words "you did it," Han Zilu blushed and quickly said, "It's all what I should do, but it's just a nomination now. We can wait for the final results, and I'll tell you then."

Xu Fan nodded in agreement; this was indeed good news.

After hanging up the phone, he thought about many things, after all, this nominee was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Two days later, Zhao Feiyang called, and Xu Fan knew that he had to leave for Zhonghai TV Station.

Because today is the Lantern Festival, and the Lantern Festival gala starts at 7:30, we have to get there early.

When Xu Fan met Zhao Feiyang, Zhao Feiyang was dressed very luxuriously today, but Xu Fan didn't pay attention to it. He just asked, "How are the preparations for the previous songs going?"

Zhao Feiyang said, "Don't worry, there's no problem. I took the song over, and the TV station agreed immediately."

===Chapter 558 The Party is About to Begin===

Zhao Feiyang was indeed dressed very luxuriously today, in a smart formal suit.

Xu Fan, on the other hand, was dressed relatively casually. This was not because he didn't care, but because Zhao Feiyang had already prepared a gift in advance, which he could simply exchange upon arrival.

China Central Television (CCTV) is considered quite good nationwide, especially in the entertainment sector, where it has a large number of variety shows and enjoys a high reputation in China.

Therefore, this year's Lantern Festival Gala by China Overseas TV was truly fantastic.

Prior to this, Xu Fan had received news that Xue Laiyi would also be at this concert. The song Xue Laiyi would be singing was one that Xu Fan had promised to write for him, which was one of the surprises of this year's Lantern Festival Gala on China Overseas TV.

The Lantern Festival Gala had already been announced when the Spring Festival was approaching, but Xu Fan had not yet agreed to participate, so when Zhonghai TV was promoting it, Xue Laiyi was the main figure.

However, when Xu Fan agreed to participate in the gala, his name quickly appeared on the gala's promotional board.

Xu Fan and Xue Laiyi became the biggest highlights of the evening.

During the Spring Festival Gala, Xue Laiyi and Leng Xiaogu sang "Love Is You and Me," which instantly became a nationwide hit, and their fame soared.

Therefore, Xue Laiyi's participation has drawn the attention of many people across the country to this gala.

When Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang arrived, Xue Laiyi was already there. Hearing that Xu Fan had come, he asked them to greet him outside the Zhonghai TV station.

Upon seeing Xu Fan, Xue Laiyi couldn't help but quickly walk up and say, "Xiao Fan, Xiao Zhao, you've arrived."

Xu Fan walked over, nodded, and looked at Xue Laiyi, saying, "Brother Xue, when did you arrive?"

Hearing Xu Fan address him as "Brother Xue," Xue Laiyi felt a warmth in his heart, and a surge of joy flashed through his mind. He smiled and said, "I've been here for a while now. I've finished my makeup and changed my clothes, so I can go on stage right away."

Real singers and celebrities always travel with a large group of people, including makeup artists, photographers, and all sorts of other people.

However, Xu Fan never had anyone else with him; at most, the fat man, his "agent," would occasionally appear.

According to Xu Fan, Xue Laiyi is actually similar to him; he never takes a large group of people to concerts or similar events.

This time, it seems to be Zhonghai TV that made the preparation.
