Get the perfect music system at the start

Zhao Feiyang quickly ran over and said, "Director Xu, you're amazing! You had already found all the extras!"

Xu Fan was stunned for a moment, then heard the people around him start chattering and greeting him.

Xu Fan naturally recognized Uncle Liu, as well as several others who had previously come to the store wanting to become actors.

Sure enough, they really are wicked... Xu Fan felt that this word was inappropriate; it should be said that they are truly working hard for their dreams!

"Director Xu, don't worry. Although I'm not very smart, I will definitely act seriously. I'm even willing to be a stunt double."

"Director Xu, under your leadership, I believe I will rise from a rookie extra to the top."

"Director Xu is so dashing and confident, he certainly wouldn't look down on someone from a poor background. I'm really happy."

Xu Fan didn't listen to a word of the crowd's discussion. He just looked at everyone and said, "Alright, since everyone wants to be an actor, let's start as extras. We're about to start filming, so hurry up and change your clothes."

As soon as Xu Fan finished speaking, everyone cheered and went to change their clothes.

Xu Fan nodded thoughtfully. It has to be said that as the number of actors increases, his own position as a "wooden" actor seems to be getting more and more secure.

Just as Xu Fan was preparing to film the next scene, his phone suddenly rang urgently.

Xu Fan picked up his phone, frowned as he looked at the familiar number, and then answered, "Old Chen, what's wrong?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was clearly anxious, urgently saying, "Please come to the Second Municipal Hospital, my mother is critically ill."

boom!

Xu Fan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. A sudden wave of sadness washed over him, and he stood up abruptly and said into the phone, "Aunt Zhao is critically ill? Okay, I'm coming right away."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Zhao Feiyang beside him and said, "Guide, please film the following scenes according to my drawing. I have something very important to do now."

After saying that, Xu Fan ignored him and walked straight out of the film and television base.

Zhao Feiyang caught up from behind. He could tell that Xu Fan's emotions had changed after that phone call, so he said directly, "Director Xu, has something happened? If you're in a hurry, I'll have the driver take you."

Xu Fan was taken aback. Right, Zhao Feiyang had a car. He quickly said, "Then it's best if he doesn't come. I'm going to the Second Municipal Hospital. You guys take good care of the filming and wait for me to come back."

Zhao Feiyang nodded and said, "Don't worry."

After he finished speaking, he glanced into the distance and said to a middle-aged man, "Uncle Han, could you please go to the Second Municipal Hospital and take Director Xu there?"

The middle-aged man, known as Uncle Han, called out and hurried over.

Without further ado, he led Xu Fan to the parking garage, got him into the car, and sped off towards the Second Municipal Hospital.

Xu Fan, sitting in the car, was extremely anxious.

Aunt Zhao, a stranger with no blood relation to me.

But this is the same person who, during his most helpless time, cooked for himself every day and encouraged himself.

Old Chen was my college classmate and also Aunt Zhao's son.

Six months ago, Aunt Zhao suddenly contracted a rare disease that was difficult to treat. She had already received two critical condition notices, and this was the third time.

Therefore, Xu Fan had a bad feeling in his heart, and he was very anxious while sitting in the car.

In those years, my parents were... because of some things.

So he lived alone in this city, all lonely and miserable, with Old Zhao and his mother, Aunt Zhao, taking care of him from time to time.

Later, with their help, I was able to open this restaurant.

Even though he was very busy, he would visit the hospital at least twice a week.

I was planning to finish filming today and then go to the hospital tomorrow to visit Aunt Zhao and relieve Old Chen, but unexpectedly, I received another critical condition notice.

......

In the hospital, a young man as thin as a bamboo pole was running wildly down the corridor.

He had just paid the medical bills, and now came the long wait. But before the surgery, he wanted to see his mother one last time.

But in the end, all he saw were the three big red characters for "Operating Room".

He wanted to say something, but in the end he could only squat there and pray.

How helpless must a person be to have nothing left but prayer?

Zhao Feiyang had never felt so helpless before. Tears streamed down his face until someone patted him on the shoulder.

He knew who it was, so he didn't turn around. He just said with some despair, "Old Zhao, I feel like the world is dark."

Xu Fan patted Zhao Feiyang on the shoulder and said, "Everything will be alright. Aunt Zhao is very lucky; how could she possibly..."

Xu Fan didn't know how to continue. He wanted to say something comforting, but whenever he started to speak, it always seemed to make him unable to hold back his sadness.

He had no choice but to squat down next to Zhao Feiyang and quietly keep him company.

Time ticked by, and the operating room lights remained on.

The feeling of handing over one's mother's illness to someone else to control was powerless and helpless. Zhao Feiyang squatted there, tears wetting his sleeves, but dared not cry out loud, for fear of disturbing the operating room.

Xu Fan stayed by her side the whole time, perhaps only saying things like, "Trust me, Aunt Zhao will be alright," and "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you." But at least that was some comfort.

Ding!

The operating room light flickered, and then the operating room door was pushed open.

A doctor came out and asked Xu Fan and his companion, "Who is the family member?"

Zhao Feiyang suddenly stood up and ran over, excitedly saying, "It's me, it's me! How is my mother?"

The doctor said, "We're still in a critical period. We need to administer a medication, and at this point I need your signature because while this medication is effective, there's also a possibility that..."

"It's very possible... Doctor, please, please save my mother! Please!"

Xu Fan walked over and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Listen to the doctor, sign the papers quickly, Aunt Zhao's time can't be wasted."

Xu Fan knew that he might be making a mistake by making this decision for Lao Chen, but there was no time to waste at this moment.

The doctor glanced at Xu Fan but didn't say anything. Zhao Feiyang, however, reacted quickly and said, "I'll sign, I'll sign, doctor, please, please save my mother."

After Zhao Feiyang finished signing, the doctor took the paper and went inside. Before leaving, she said, "Won will do his best."

boom!

The quiet operating room door remained.

Even though making movies was Xu Fan's top priority, compared to Aunt Zhao's current condition, he felt it was unnecessary to consider it at all.

At this moment, all his thoughts, just like Old Chen's, were focused on Aunt Zhao's safety.

He only hoped that everything would be alright and that Aunt Zhao's health would recover completely.

Perhaps hope always appears in moments of utter despair and helplessness. Just after the doctor entered the room, Xu Fan discovered that the system in his mind had miraculously slid into his hand once again.

He gently opened his hand, and the system said, "She's very important to you?"

Xu Fan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Very, very important. What do you mean by asking that? Do you have a way to cure her?"

The system tapped its chubby lips, its small, round eyes darting around before saying, "Of course there are, but I need to save people..."

The system wanted to say something more impressive, but Xu Fan didn't give it a chance and asked directly, "Stop bragging and just tell me what conditions you need."

"Ahem..." The system had no hands, so it could only lower its head and cough dryly, saying, "I want to make a big bet with you."

Xu Fan was taken aback and asked curiously, "What do you mean? How big is it?"

Xu Fan's communication with the system is all through consciousness; even if he opens his mouth, he won't make any sound. Therefore, Old Chen, who was standing next to him, had no idea what Xu Fan was muttering behind him.

The system stirred; despite having no neck, it twisted its neck and said, "I can save her, but you have to guarantee that your movie will gross at least 500 million at the box office after its release."

"What, five hundred million?"

Xu Fan's eyes widened. What a joke!

My current goal is for this movie to be released in theaters normally, okay?

No matter how much box office revenue, it would be enough for him. But now the system suddenly made such a request, and this request seemed impossible and unbelievable to him.

Because he knew he couldn't do it.

So the system continued, "So, do you dare to bet?"

Xu Fan said, "What if we can't do it?"

The system looked at Xu Fan and said, "You basically know which one inside has already begun to wither away."

Xu Fan was shocked and frowned as he stared at the system, saying, "But I can't do it."

The system said arrogantly, "I know, that's why I said 'bet' instead of 'exchange'."

Xu Fan shook his head and said, "It's definitely not that simple. Tell me, what other conditions are there?"

The system stuck out its tongue and said, "Six months."

Xu Fan was taken aback, then the system continued, "In other words, no matter what, the winner of this gamble is actually the one who wins."

Xu Fan felt it wasn't that simple and asked, "What else do you want?"

The system suddenly smiled and said, "What I want is for you to get 500 million in box office revenue, because I just want to see you accomplish the impossible. Don't you think that's really awesome?"

Xu Fan sneered, and then the system continued, "No matter what, she has six months to live. If you complete the task of making 500 million in box office revenue in six months, her body will be completely restored. But if you fail to complete it... she will still go to where she is meant to go."

Xu Fan nodded seriously for the first time; she didn't actually need to consider it.

Just like the system said, Aunt Zhao's life can be brought back to life no matter what, even if it's only for six months, six months is fine.

So he looked at the system seriously and said, "I'll bet."

The system smiled and said, "I hope you're serious."

Xu Fan snorted coldly and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you."

The system stuck out its tongue and then retreated back into Xu Fan's mind. Xu Fan roared and said through his thoughts, "I've read it all, hurry up and help Aunt Zhao!"

The system said in a weak voice, "It's done now. I'm so damn tired. If I had known it would be this tiring, I wouldn't have bet with you."

Although Xu Fan didn't know when the system had taken action, he could definitely hear the weariness in the system's voice.

Just then, the operating room lights went out.

The first person to come out was the same female doctor from before. After she came out, Old Chen was as excited as ever, rushing up to her and asking, "Doctor, how is my mother?"

The female doctor said, "No problem, everything went smoothly."

Old Chen collapsed to the ground, speechless with excitement. Xu Fan quickly went over to help him up, and smiled at the doctor, saying, "Be happy."
