The clouds in the sky were incredibly beautiful, and the sky was a deep blue. Xu Fan gazed out the window at the breathtaking scenery. Xiao Pu was asleep with her eyes closed. Zhao Feiyang remained silent, his eyes also half-closed. At this moment, his wife, of course, wasn't looking at her phone; she was simply gazing out the window, lost in thought.
By noon the next day, Xu Fan and his two companions had arrived in Zhonghai. They didn't linger at the airport for long, and each went home. Xu Fan's daughter, Xiao Pu, dropped him off at his place before going home herself.
His mother went out for a walk and he didn't call her, so when he got home he found no one there. Of course, he didn't do anything; he just went back to his room and drank some water. Just then, his phone rang.
To his surprise, the call was from his editor. Out of curiosity, he asked, "Miss, are you looking for any manuscripts lately?"
Xu Fan's editor, Xiao Gu, said on the phone, "That's right, all your previous writings have been published. Currently, whether it's Ghost Blows Out the Light, Tomb Raider Chronicles, or that other book, I Have an Adventure House, these books are all very popular. Your subscription fees were sent out yesterday, you can check them then."
Xu Fan never cared about the royalties, because the reason he published in this world was simply because of the system's task at the time.
So for him, it didn't matter much how much money he made by publishing these at this time. However, after hearing what the editor Xiao Gu said, he still agreed and said he would look into it later.
At this moment, Xiao Gu said to Xu Fan, "I have to say that currently, the types of websites are basically fixed in terms of rights and interests. Since you have always been in this area, I would like to ask if you have any plans to start a new book recently."
Xu Fan doesn't sing much these days, he only writes when he occasionally holds a concert, so this isn't really necessary for him.
Because he doesn't make money from this, he just suddenly thought that maybe this world and that world are completely different, but in a sense, human communication seems very similar, so whether he plagiarized or not.
At least this kind of transformation can bring a better childhood chapter from that world so that more people in this world can read it. Perhaps this is a good method.
So he said to his editor, Xiao Gu, "I have been writing recently. As for the story, I mainly want to write about history. If you think it's okay, I can send it to you to take a look."
Xu Fan felt that the history of this world and the history of that world were completely different, but in a sense, they seemed to have certain similarities.
So, one could adapt the history of that world into the history of this world, and perhaps achieve very good results. Of course, the most important thing is not how well the book can sell, or how much money the book can make.
He hopes that more people will read and watch this book, because he believes that what he has taken can only be considered as reference, and can only be said to allow more people to obtain or read relatively excellent works.
Editor Xiao Gu was overjoyed when she heard this. The reason was simple: although Xu Fan's previous three works were all tomb raiding or suspense, his pen name "Xu Fan Walking in the Room" had become a hit across the internet, and countless people were amazed by it.
Of course, the key is not the pen name, but the three books that followed that pen name caused a huge sensation on the internet, directly creating a representative of the tomb raiding genre and becoming typical works of suspenseful tomb raiding.
This pen name has become a name that countless readers admire and a favorite author for. So, if Xu Fan were to write history, he believes that the popularity of his work would attract even more fans to read it.
Most importantly, he had already sensed Xu Fan's ability through Xu Han's writing, and he believed that even when writing history, Xu Fan would definitely be able to produce very good works.
So he said, "No problem, just send me the draft once you've finalized it, and I'll help you put it up for sale and promote it."
Editor Xiao Gu didn't say anything like "I'll help you take a look" or "I'll review it." He directly used the "you send it to me, I'll help you put it on the shelves and promote it" approach. This seemingly unequal agreement is actually quite normal in the eyes of a true expert.
This time, Xu Fan didn't elaborate at all. He simply said "no problem" and hung up the phone. After sitting down, Xu Fan stared at the ceiling, thinking that he wanted to write history.
The key point is not just that the history is good, but that when he was browsing the history books in the mall, he came across a few that were really good, such as "The People's World", "Tang Dynasty", or "Going Back to the Ming Dynasty to Make Webpages", etc.
He particularly likes it, so he hopes to do some promotion so that more people in the world can understand the unique charm of that world.
Xu Fan then went to the kitchen and tidied up some dinner. After dinner, his mother returned and looked at him excitedly, saying, "Xiao Fan, I also saw your concert. Those songs were really good."
I never expected that my mother would see my Chengdu concert online. She smiled and said that I had just written something casually. My mother didn't say much, but went into the kitchen and made a soup for me.
In the days that followed, Xu Fan spent most of his time at home, except for the occasional chat with his mother and a short time alone with Xiao Bu.
During this period, Zhao Feiyang became very busy because he not only had to handle some things after the concert, such as the previous lucky draw and other things, but he also had to do them. The Coming One team also sent him a notice.
The new champions and runners-up of "The Coming One" and the nine major labels are all preparing to release new songs. It seems that Xiao Dao and several other contestants have all sent emails to Xu Fan, hoping that he could write a song for them if he had the opportunity. Shi Fang's reply to this is very simple: he is willing.
Xu Fan had already promised Zhong Yixuan, Xiaodao, and others that he would write songs for them, and in particular, he had promised Xiaodao that he would write songs for an entire album. After replying, he made his plans for dinner.
They were considering which songs to give them to sing. Of course, all of this happened during this period. During this time, Han Zilu was even busier than Xu Fan because he controlled the entire Fanxing Pictures and Xu Fan's studio.
Superstar Studio, Li Xiaoyuer, and others have also been very busy lately, of course, because they have many favorite songs to record.
And she's busy with publicity and public relations. Han Zilu is busy right now because the TV series "In the Name of the People" has been completely edited and submitted for review. If I remember correctly, it should be approved in the next few days.
A few days later, Xu Fan received a call from Han Zinuo. Han Zilu's excited voice on the other end of the line said, "Brother Fan, the TV series 'In the Name of the People' has been approved by CCTV.com, so our TV series will officially begin airing in the near future."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan couldn't help but feel excited. He asked, "Has CCTV given a plan? Which channels will it be broadcast on, or which time slot?"
Upon hearing Xu Fan's question, Han Zilu answered without hesitation, "CCTV's answer is that it will air two episodes daily during prime time on CCTV.com, between 8 PM and 10 PM."
Xu Fan nodded. He had guessed the idea and the outcome, and he didn't have too many doubts. For him, as long as more people could see things getting better, that was all that mattered.
At this moment, Han Zilu said, "At the same time, CCTV has provided several other solutions. In addition to broadcasting it on CCTV-1, it will also be broadcast on CCTV's drama channel and simultaneously broadcast online. That is to say, it will be broadcast online simultaneously in the second process after the drama is broadcast, which is the two episodes that have already been broadcast on TV."
Xu Fan understood this principle. Simply put, the program would be broadcast live on CCTV-1 from 8 PM to 10 PM, and then broadcast live on CCTV's drama program segment from 10 PM to midnight.
After midnight, advertisements will continue to air on television, and online platforms such as Tencent Video, iQiyi, and Kugou Video will also start airing these two episodes simultaneously in the early hours of the following day.
Han Zilu continued, "In addition, CCTV's message is that this TV series has a very high level of influence and formality. In order to increase promotion, all TV stations will set aside twenty seconds to advertise this TV series."
Xu Fan was indeed somewhat surprised by this news. He had expected CCTV to spare no effort in promoting it, but he still did not expect them to directly use twenty seconds of screen time from all the television stations to promote the TV series.
It's worth noting that even a regular satellite TV channel, let alone CCTV, charges nearly a million yuan for a single second of advertising. This time, CCTV went so far as to secure all twenty-second prime-time advertising slots across all TV stations to promote the drama. Such a promotional effort is truly astonishing.
Han Zilu explained some more details, which Xu Fan understood quite well. The subsequent broadcast of the TV series would basically follow this process, and any minor changes in details would not affect the overall broadcast order.
After hanging up Han Zilu's call, Xu Fan casually turned on his mobile network. The sun was actually shining brightly that day, and Xu Fan lay on a chair on the balcony.
The sunlight streamed through the window, warming him. He looked at Weibo on his phone, and sure enough, the top trending topic was that "In the Name of the People" would be officially broadcast on CCTV-1 tomorrow night at 8 pm.
This simple and straightforward message was trending at number one on Weibo. When Xu Fan clicked on it, he found that there weren't actually that many comments or messages on the post.
It's easy to imagine that this is another tactic by CCTV. After refreshing the page several times, Xu Fan noticed that the number of comments and messages on the trending topic had increased significantly. Obviously, everyone knew that this was a website recommendation, so everyone was on the first floor wondering what kind of TV series this would be.
In an instant, countless people flocked to live streams and various platforms to search for information about this TV series, but so far there is no news at all; the most common information about this TV series online is about this one.
The person who directed this TV series is named Xu Fan, and Xu Fan is also listed among the cast. This alone is enough to make countless people want to watch the TV series, although many others feel that it is completely unnecessary.
Because Xu Fan is just a young actor after all. Even though he has made two classic films, Lost and Love and Dying to Survive, they are still just movies. Now he is making an anti-corruption TV series. The subject of anti-corruption is inherently difficult. What kind of result can Xu Fan make?
In a sense, whether it's countless fans or professional film critics across the internet, no one is optimistic about Xu Fan's latest TV series, which is evident from both the subject matter and the revealed cast list.
Xu Fan invited mostly veteran actors. Although their acting skills might be good, they have no fame. Even with CCTV's full promotion, the actual viewership will definitely be terrible. This point resonated with most people online.
Xu Fan glanced at it but simply smiled. Even if no one believed him, he felt this TV series would inevitably achieve great success because he understood this world and its system very well. The similarity between this world and the one he inhabited was extremely high.
He knew very well that in the world the system was in, the TV series "In the Name of the People" became a dark horse in viewership ratings that year, and he believed that even if no one in this world recognized it, the TV series would still achieve remarkable results.
It's not just because of the script of this TV series, but more importantly, all the actors are veteran actors, and they personally watched every detail.
Therefore, he believed that this TV series would definitely surprise everyone.
===Chapter 758 begins playing===
Before the TV series officially aired on CCTV, Mr. Kong and Mr. Zhao each called Xu Fan.
On the phone, Mr. Zhao sincerely expressed his admiration and gratitude to Xu Fan, and also said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xi Jinping didn't offer much of a response, but simply smiled and said to Mr. Zhao, "Since I've agreed to film this TV series, I will definitely take it seriously."
Old Zhao was pleased with him and said to Xu Fan with a smile, "Not bad, don't be arrogant or impatient. I have already watched your TV series in advance, and it has truly shocked me. When I read the script before, I just thought it would be a very good work, but after watching the TV series, I realized that it has exceeded my expectations."
Xu Fan was not arrogant because of the elder's exaggeration. He knew very well that he was able to produce such an excellent TV series not only because of his and the other actors' professionalism, but more importantly because of the script from a parallel world.
The TV series "In the Name of the People" has already gone through a similar path in a parallel world, and it's clear that this series will bring everyone an extraordinary gift. Therefore, it is believed that things will definitely be turbulent in this world.
Old Zhao listened to Xu Fan's modest words without saying much. Not long after hanging up, Mr. Kong called. Compared to him, Old Zhao felt that Mr. Kong was more official.
After all, Zhao Lao was nominally Chen Yuanyuan's grandfather, and the relationship between him and Xu Fan was more complex. On a deeper level, Mr. Kong was, in a sense, a leader of the country. From this perspective,
There was a certain distance and generation gap between Mr. Kong and Xu Fan, so when Mr. Kong called, Xu Fan did not show any particular enthusiasm.
But I still greeted him with, "Mr. Kong, what brings you to call me?"
Mr. Kong chuckled on the other end of the phone and said to Xu Fan, "Young friend, you're asking a question you already know the answer to. The TV series 'In the Name of the People' will premiere tomorrow night on CCTV-1, so of course I had to call you to congratulate you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan naturally understood that it was indeed true, and couldn't help but smile and say, "At the moment, we don't know whether the outcome will be good or bad; we can only wait and see."
Mr. Kong continued on the other end of the phone, "That's right. Before the answer was given, you didn't show the slightest bit of pride, which shows that you are indeed more outstanding than I imagined."
"Mr. Kong, you are too kind. I simply understand that only the answers can explain everything."
"So, you have no confidence in this TV series?"
"Of course not, I just feel that showing you the answer is the most important thing, because in my eyes, or rather in my heart, this TV series will definitely become a miracle among this year's TV dramas."
"I can't deny it, to be honest, I also think this TV series will be the dark horse of this year's TV dramas. Currently, the highest rating of all TV dramas is only 2.4, but I think this TV series may break that record."
Let's wait and see.
"Okay, let's wait together for the results and the answer. My friend, you did a fantastic job this time. The higher-ups are very satisfied after seeing it, and they might even give you some special rewards later."
After Mr. Kong finished speaking, Xu Fan was taken aback. He had only filmed a TV series, so why would it attract the attention of the higher-ups?
What he knew was that this TV series was something that Mr. Kong and CCTV had approached him because they wanted to make it. But what connection did he have with the higher-ups?
Regardless, since such a possibility exists, we naturally thanked Mr. Kong and apologized to each other. After chatting for a while, we hung up the phone.
The phone calls between Mr. Kong and Mr. Zhao made Xu Fan realize one thing: the TV series "In the Name of the People" was not only being followed by CCTV.
Even some higher-ups have to pay attention. Even if he was full of confidence, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment. This matter is neither a big deal nor a small deal. In a sense...
This was just the filming of a TV series. Whether it succeeded or failed in the end, the impact wasn't actually the biggest, even though I knew very well that this TV series had caused a nationwide sensation in another world.
However, he couldn't be sure what the world was really like, because even if the world is very similar, interests and hobbies vary from person to person, so the final result is indeed uncertain.
But the key point is often right here, which is why Xu Fan was uneasy, if there really was a leader paying attention to the development of this TV series.
If a problem really arises, I'll definitely feel a little frustrated. And from what Mr. Kong said, whether this TV series is good or bad will ultimately determine whether I get a reward, but actually, it doesn't need any reward right now.
All he wanted was a safe environment, but sometimes he would think that being involved with the country on some special point might be a good thing. So, after thinking it over, Xu Fan decided to do some promotion as well.
The promotion method was simple: post a message on Weibo and Douyin about the release time of the TV series, stating that it would be broadcast on CCTV between 8 pm and 10 pm.
To allow more people to see Xu Fan, some special rewards were even offered under this promotion, such as red envelopes and tickets to the next concert. As a result, everyone on the internet started frantically forwarding and promoting it, generating similar promotions for each other.
Regardless of whether you ultimately watch this TV series, at least it was personally directed and starred by Xu Fan, and it received full support and recommendation from CCTV.com.
Even CCTV-1 broadcast this TV series during its prime time slot from 8 pm to 10 pm, so when such news reached netizens, it naturally caused a sensation.
"I have a feeling that Fan Ge's TV series will definitely be a new peak. He has always liked to create miracles. One film, Lost and Love, and another, Dying to Survive, told everyone in the film industry that he is not just a newcomer. This TV series will also tell everyone in the TV series circle that he is equally excellent."
"Am I the only one who thinks this TV series will inevitably start strong but end weakly? Both CCTV and Fan Bingbing are promoting it heavily, which I believe will result in a huge influx of viewers initially. But what about later? Will the quality of this TV series really be that good? Don't forget, this is just an anti-corruption drama."
"Yes, I have the same concern, but I have to say, judging from the trailer, this drama seems very promising. What's particularly interesting is that I have a feeling this drama is going to be a hit."
"It's just overhyped. After all, this TV series is just an anti-corruption drama. How many people would actually watch it? I still prefer watching period dramas or romantic comedies."
Why don't you go look upstairs?
"Keep going, Fan Ge! I'll definitely go support you. Besides, there are tickets to the next concert. Aren't you happy?"
"Haha, the person upstairs is right. The reason I forwarded and promoted this is because I hope I will have the opportunity to get tickets to Fan Ge's next concert."
