Just like Xu Fan, Xiao Pu, and everyone including Zhang Feiyang, everyone was slightly taken aback. But no matter what they said, they had to seriously consider it at this moment. The two of them, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, hugged each other without hesitation, as if they really had too many things to say, but in the end, they didn't say a word.
Xiao Hu stood quietly to the side, watching Zhao Feiyang and Xu Fan hug tightly. After a while, they reluctantly separated. Xu Fan asked, "How are Uncle and Aunt?"
The question was actually quite simple, and Zhao Feiyang didn't hesitate at all. He simply said calmly, "Thanks to the doctor you called, my parents are fine this time. They've recovered a lot and are currently lying in their hospital room. I believe they'll get better soon. Thank you."
Xu Fan patted Zhao Feiyang on the shoulder today, then shook his head seriously. He said, "We don't need to say those words between us. There's no need for thanks or lyrics. Because both you and I know that this journey hasn't been easy. I hope you will always be my good brother in the future."
Xu Fan reported Zhao Feiyang's demand for the entire order, then went to the hospital ward and met Zhao Feiyang's parents, bringing some gifts. They had a brief exchange, and Pu Sihan also came to ask Xu Fan questions. After all the procedures were completed, and Xu Fan saw that Zhao Feiyang's parents were basically safe and sound, the last ounce of pressure in his heart gradually lessened. He suddenly felt a sense of relief. He found a hotel room, lay down, and fell asleep. To be honest, although he had a tent to rest in during this period in the disaster area, he actually had very little sleep. Every day was filled with tension. Whether it was Xu Fan, Zhao Feiyang, or Xiao Pu, everyone's experiences were different, but they had all truly been through a lot during this time. Xu Fan lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep. Xiao Gu didn't stay with Xu Fan; besides Xu Fan, she had also... Besides visiting Zhang Feiya's parents at the hospital, he had many other things to do. This involved the Starry Sky Foundation, which Xu Fan wasn't involved in. Xiao Pu and Han Zilu would handle everything. He liked to lie in bed, fast asleep, without any thoughts. Unconsciously, he had a dream. It was a simple dream, nothing different from his usual one, except he was in another world. That world was no different from his own; people spoke Mandarin, and he saw people with yellow skin, as well as some with black and white skin. Regardless of their appearance, it was essentially the same world. However, Xu Fan could clearly sense that the world in his dream was different from his own, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it. There was also a special detail in this dream: he heard a cat's meow.
He couldn't remember how many times he'd heard a cat meow. It seemed like he'd heard a cat meow after the last song of his final concert, and at the same time, he'd seen a white cat. Later, that white cat appeared in his house and remained there to this day. Xu Fan felt as if the cat had always been by his side, because lately he kept hearing cat meows, and he could always identify them as coming from the white cat in his house. Although most cat meows sounded almost identical, for some reason, he had this particular feeling. So, in this dream, he did nothing but search, as if trying to find the cat's existence. Perhaps he couldn't find it, because he woke up from the dream.
When he woke up again, it was already midnight. Xu Fan, suppressing the urge to speak in his sleep, drank a large glass of water. After doing this, he went back to bed and lay there staring at the ceiling, thinking about the recent events. A slight tremor ran through him, because he knew all too well the devastation of this disaster; the death toll was incredibly high. As of now, CCTV reported that the number of missing and dead in the Gansu earthquake had exceeded 150. This number might not sound like much, but for a nation as large as China at this moment, it was still terrifyingly significant. At least in the grand scheme of things, 150 lives had vanished. It is truly tragic to die because of a disaster. Moreover, he was acutely aware of the horror of this disaster. He personally went to the disaster area and saw those who had perished and those trapped in the rubble. It all happened in just a few seconds. Even though many houses now have earthquake-resistant structures, they still couldn't withstand the devastation of this earthquake. Many people were buried in the rubble before they could even put on their clothes. Many people had just stepped out of their homes when they were also buried. So, disasters in this world always happen in different ways, but at this time, it is inevitable that everything changes after a disaster.
I like to lie in bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about this, my thoughts racing. Meanwhile, the internet is in a frenzy. Unbeknownst to many, all sorts of things are happening online. Xu Fan's songs lately, whether it's the four or five songs at the cultural performance or the songs from his global tour, have become the talk of the town. So, various online platforms are discussing Xu Fan's new song. On Weibo, Douyin, and other major platforms, this important news keeps popping up, with everyone expressing their opinions, showing their liking for Xu Fan, or rather, for a particular song. Everyone has their own thoughts and opinions, but there's one thing in common: all of Xu Fan's recent songs share a common meaning—inspirational songs. Inspirational songs always easily move people and evoke empathy, especially during times of disaster. So, as Xu Fan's songs continue to spread online, many people are deeply touched by these songs, experiencing a different kind of music and a different kind of melody.
As news kept emerging and the story began to take a turn for the better, everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction. The news on the internet was constantly changing. Xu Fan lay in bed and finally had time to open Weibo and Douyin and look at them again and again. At this moment, he didn't have many thoughts. He just woke up too early in the morning and couldn't fall back asleep, so he opened the messages to read them. As his eyes scrolled through the messages one by one, some of the words really touched his heart, so he looked at them more carefully.
"I know that I'm not the only one who likes Brother Feng, and I also know that I'm not the only one who likes Brother San's songs. This cultural performance seems to have featured four shows of chanting many songs, and I like every single one of them. I especially like the song 'Parallel Universe.' Even though compared to the others, that song isn't as inspirational; on the contrary, it's more like an emotional song. But I still think that song is unique, and its meaning is even more profound. Perhaps the Temper Universe really does exist."
"Putting aside all the issues and not talking about Fan Ge's recent songs, some of them are particularly inspiring, very serious, and quite unique. I hope that Fan Ge's future songs will also become so excellent. This disaster has made us all understand that when one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides. Of course, we still have to thank Fan Ge for the origin of these eight words."
"Fate is always so strange, but it must be admitted that Fan Ge's creation of these songs this time is truly shocking, or rather, it fills people with power. Everyone subconsciously clenched their fists, and everyone was expressing their thoughts through their singing."
"Many people's feelings are changing, but putting all that aside, I believe our future, our future, will resonate with Fan Ge's songs, because I believe my future is not a dream, because I believe that as long as we work hard and strive, everything in the future will come, all the difficulties in the future will be overcome by us, and all the disasters in the future will have no power to stop us."
I was in the disaster area, a volunteer. Listening to Fan Ge's songs and seeing people crying, I silently endured the sadness. Fan Ge's songs transported me to a special emotional state. Thank you, Fan Ge, for bringing me such beautiful music.
"Perhaps every song has its own meaning, but I must admit that Fan Ge's songs are truly heartbreaking, yet also truly empowering. Especially back then, 'I Believe' and 'Sailor' stirred my passion, filling my heart with strength and hope for the future."
As Xu Fan looked at the messages online, he clenched his fists tightly. He knew that he hadn't written these songs, but when he realized that his songs had brought strength and inspiration to many people, he felt a deep joy.
Perhaps it was because of this joy that he clearly understood that he would sing more songs in the future, because he believed that these songs would be liked by more people.

===Chapter 925 Leave Everything to Me===
Time actually flies.
At least for Xu Fan, this was indeed the case. Nearly half a month had passed since he arrived in Gansu Province, and he knew very well that his system should be fully restored in another half month. At this moment, he stared at the ceiling, and the system occasionally echoed in his mind. Since the system's global tour ended half a month ago, it had fallen into a period of silence. In fact, before that silence, the system itself had been silent for a long time. However, during the last stop of Chen Qiu and Xu Wenhui's art concert, the Wang Mingyue system suddenly appeared, remembered some information, and officially shut down at that time, saying that it would be restored in a month. Xu Fan was looking forward to the effect after a month, but at present, he did not know what would happen in a month. He was still full of expectations for the future of the system.
It was already 8 a.m. when Xu Fan ate breakfast at the entrance as usual after getting up. Then he found Xiao Pu and ate breakfast with her. Zhao Feiyang also got up early, and the group chatted. Actually, there was nothing wrong with the timing and process. When the sun was shining brightly, when the sky changed its eccentric patterns, and when everything started to return to normal, Xu Fan and Xiao Pu parted ways. Xu Fan then found Zhao Feiyang, and the two of them walked to the park near the hospital. They found a chair, sat down, and started talking about their plans for the future.
Indeed, Xu Fan had a lot to discuss with Zhao Feiyang at this moment. After all, Zhao Feiyang was not only his good brother but also his manager and the most important person in his entire singing and entertainment life. Therefore, he and Zhao Feiyang had many topics to discuss, such as whether he should pursue a film and television career or another path, whether the movie he had previously discussed with Xu Shan should start filming, and whether he should participate in some cultural and artistic programs, including variety shows. These were all things he needed to think about.
Ultimately, all these considerations couldn't overcome Fei Yang's doubts. Simply put, he felt he didn't need to be involved in anything; everything should be arranged by Zhao Wei. Yet, every time they ate together, Zhao Wei would contact him to discuss matters, because she needed his approval and support. After all, he was the one handling everything; Zhao Feiyang was merely running errands. The two sat and chatted for a while, discussing things like Xu Fan's recent experiences, the songs he sang, and who he had been involved with. Zhao Feiyang mostly talked about trivial matters in the hospital, like seeing his mother and father and smiling slightly, or seeing people in the hospital who, unable to withstand the hardships of life, left this world. They talked about various things, and when things started to clear up, they finally got down to business. Zhao Feiyang said, "I've already discussed this with you. We don't have many ideas right now. What we need to do is first and foremost make the movie well." The preparation for that movie has been going on for a long time. Secondly, the Star Foundation you mentioned has been established. The next step is to ensure its smooth operation and absolutely avoid any unforeseen events. All donation information must be completely transparent. Thirdly, besides making movies, you can't forget your songs. The global music festival and concert tour have actually ended, but both you and I know that the seven shows in seven different countries weren't actually held in person. So, we'll definitely need to consider whether to hold concerts in various countries around the world in the coming period. However, I personally think that the most important thing you need to do right now isn't to hold concerts in other countries, but to properly organize your current songs, such as "My Deep Palace Melody," which can't be released on an album. Then, work with everyone to prepare all the songs and perform them for everyone. Because right now, many people have a certain fondness for these songs. If you can fully express these songs and make an album, I believe it will be a huge success.
When it comes to getting to the point, Zhao Feiyang should stop talking too much at the beginning. Although he has been very busy lately, and his parents' injury has made him feel depressed, he has really thought a lot about Xu Fan. He has thought a lot about what to do next and how to proceed. That's why when he officially started talking about this topic after meeting Xu Fan, he talked a lot, from beginning to end, he talked non-stop. Of course, from this, it is also clear that Xu Fan is different from the photos. Regardless, Zhao Feiyang listened attentively to every word Xu Fan said, and he also listened carefully to every word Zhao Feiyang spoke. Therefore, upon hearing Zhao Feiyang's words, Xu Fan's innermost thoughts surged forth. After a moment's thought, he spoke, "I understand what you mean. Regarding the issues you mentioned, I think we must resolve them. For example, regarding the film, after I finish here and the earthquake investigation is completely complete, I will contact Xu Shan to discuss the script and the upcoming filming locations. Of course, regarding the other issue you mentioned, such as the global concert tour, we are all well aware that this concert was indeed unable to be held in other countries." "So, if there's an opportunity in the future, I think we should still hold events in other countries. We all need to seriously consider these issues. And you're right, we can't forget about ourselves just because we want to hold a so-called global tour. As of now, I've sung about two or three hundred songs, maybe not that many, that's just a rough estimate. I don't know how many people remember all those songs, but I believe that if we put our all into re-counting them, like you said, and make an album, I believe it will be a huge success. Since you say that, I think we'll be quite busy in the coming period."
Upon hearing about the dinner, Zhao Feiyang laughed heartily, his mood instantly brightening. He said, "If this matter is to be carried out, it will certainly be very busy. But in any case, since we have already made the decision, let's go all out. Believe in me and believe in yourself. Our future will definitely be bright. After all, this matter was meant to happen anyway, so there's no need to worry too much."
Regarding this concern, Xu Fan felt he had never considered it. However, he sometimes wondered if he should do something else. Putting all that aside, Xu Fan and Chao Fayuan had many more topics to discuss. When Xu Fan was dealing with this matter, Zhao Feiyang asked again, "What I'm curious about is, after you went there again this time, you encountered those children and those injured by the disaster. How did you deal with them? What are your plans for the future?"
Hearing this, Zhang Feiyang, or rather Xu Fan, had gleaned a lot of information from the words. More importantly, it made them subconsciously think of the past few days, the time he had spent living, eating, and sleeping with all the children in the disaster area. Even though they had their own lives each day, they always played together. So, when asked how to solve the problem, he didn't have a clear answer. The most important thing was that the children there, the friends affected by the disaster, desperately wanted help. Hearing this, his heart was heavy. Even though he had already collaborated with Fanxing Pictures on the Star Fund project, after careful consideration... The timely addition of the counterattack fund didn't actually change the essence of the matter much. Putting all that aside, Xu Fan had many other thoughts in his voice, so Gao probably said to Zhao Feiyang: "I don't really have any plans for the future. For me, in the next period of time, I just need to focus on doing my best. Occasionally writing a song and singing a few lines might be an advantage in life. Putting all that aside, in the next period of time, I've decided to start organizing an album, just like you said, to include all types of songs together. Maybe we'll have different developments. I don't know why, but I always feel that something will happen to you in the next period of time. Because recently, I keep encountering a white cat, and it always manages to be in front of me, even if it's locked up tightly in a room or a neighborhood. Its actions are a bit inexplicable."
Zhao Feiyang understood what "eating" meant. After hearing this, his brows furrowed slightly. Finally, he remembered something and suddenly said, "In the coming period, we may have to go abroad. I just received some news yesterday. My mother has been resting in the hospital, but a girl suddenly appeared yesterday. She came to see you, and you should have the opportunity to meet her."
Xu Fan was actually quite curious about who would come looking for him at this time, but when Zhang Feiyang mentioned the girl, he suddenly paused, thinking of a girl named Song Rongrong. It was a name he had heard countless times before. She was a girl he had met when he went to a concert, or rather, when he attended a concert. She was a college student. Later, his interactions with her decreased, but she always seemed to appear in his life. Xu Fan remembered that for a time, his mother had mentioned sending this girl to school. Later... Xu Fan didn't know what his relationship with that girl was, but he always felt that the function was very mysterious. His trip to the disaster area was known to everyone online. Normally, if someone wanted to find him, they would go to the hospital, not to his good friend Zhao Feiyang, and ask Zhao Feiyang to tell him that he had been there. This was indeed unbelievable. He even frowned deeply and pondered these questions for a moment, still unable to find a good solution. He couldn't help but ask, "Since he asked you to tell me he was here, did he leave anything behind, like a letter or a poem?"
There's a reason for this problem. From the very first poem he received, Xu Fan felt there was a special meaning in it. He received more and more truffles, reaching four provinces and cities so far. So, if someone were to send truffles but didn't actually come, there must be something going on. At this moment, Zhang Feiyang said, "He left you a letter, but there's something more important in it. He told me there's something you might want to know, and if you want to know, you'll have to come to Gran Country."
Xu Fan had been to the country of Gran Country more than once. The first time was to treat his mother's illness. Later, Xu Fan went to Gran Country more than once, and he also held a concert for me there. More importantly, not long ago, Xu Fan went to Gran Country to look for information about Xia Ziling, but he didn't get any good news that time. This time, Song Rongrong suddenly appeared in front of me and invited me to Gran Country. I also learned from Chongyong's message that he had something very important to tell me. But it's strange that he invited me to Gran Country. My relationship with Songrong has always been pretty good, so there must be some special meaning behind this topic and action.
When she couldn't figure things out, she would feel conflicted deep down. But when she thought of the girl in the lawsuit, she couldn't help but subconsciously feel that there might be many issues involved behind the scenes, and she really needed to go to the Kingdom of Gelan.
However, he didn't have any immediate plans to set off, because he still had a lot to do. He patted the shoulder of the photo and couldn't help but say, "We have a lot to do in the coming period of time, and some of it will be tough."
Zhao Feiyang said softly, "Leave everything to me."
(End of this chapter)
===Chapter 926 Communicating the New Film===
Another earthquake struck Gansu Province.
It was an aftershock following the previous earthquake, with a deep epicenter. This earthquake was even more terrifying than the last one. Fortunately, this time, due to better preparation, or rather, because all volunteers and rescue workers were present, and because most people knew that aftershocks could potentially lead to further collapses and rubble, everyone was prepared. Therefore, there were no casualties this time. Even so, countless houses vanished in an instant. Besides the previous earthquake, many others witnessed something different during this ordeal. Fortunately, one particularly fortunate thing was that Xu Fan's songs spread throughout every corner of the disaster area in Gansu Province. Many people know some of his favorite songs, perhaps... It might be a single line, or perhaps a whole song, but the lyrics Xu Fan sang during this period truly resonated with many people. So when they sang these songs earnestly, they were deeply moved. They reflected on these things, feeling the emotions conveyed in Xu Fan's lyrics. From the lyrics, they found strength, or rather, they found hope, making them braver. Therefore, after this aftershock, many people's affection for Xu Fan intensified, or rather, their love for his songs grew stronger. Many felt a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for Xu Fan, because while his lyrics seemed simple, each line contained profound truths, truths that were enough to make them braver and stronger.
Faced with this sudden disaster, Xu Kang and Zhao Feiyang, after discussing it, went to the disaster area together. Perhaps because of Xu Fan's previous appearance and the surge in his fame and popularity following the cultural performance, many celebrities also came to the scene. While they may not have gone directly to the front lines of rescue like Xu Fan, news of them bringing supplies and donations was constantly emerging. This became a standard for many, and most of the celebrities and singers came without hesitation, wanting to do what they could, such as singing songs like Xu Fan, to help more people find strength in music. However, many others, perhaps to ride the wave of popularity, or simply hoping to spread more songs and strength like Xu Fan, could also help more people feel the warmth and support of music. Even in the most tiring and bitter times, there is always something that can make them braver. He had never cared about such things before, but when he heard the news, he was still moved. Many people, unable to write good songs and lacking suitable audiences, started singing Xu Fan's songs. In this situation, many people around the disaster area were deeply moved, their moods improved. Even those who didn't know the celebrity's name or the handsome young man were incredibly excited. During this time, they met many people. And so, five or six days passed in a flash.
The system's results have been outdated for nearly twenty days. During this time, Xu Fan has basically resolved all the issues. Now, everything is just waiting. Post-disaster reconstruction cannot be rushed, and there's nothing Xu Fan can do. After all, he's just an ordinary person. No matter how well he sings, he's still just an ordinary person in the face of disaster. So, when everything was almost settled, he decided to go back. Zhao Feiyang also brought his parents to Zhonghai. Although Gansu Province is good, it's inconvenient for Zhao Feiyang to take care of them. In this situation, Zhonghai is naturally the best option, and the medical care is also better. Xu Fan could think of this, and naturally, he could also think of this. To make things better for Zhao Feiyang's parents, after some discussion and arrangements, Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang sent Zhao Feiyang's parents to Zhonghai People's Hospital. At this point, all the problems were temporarily resolved, because now, Zhao Feiyang's parents can basically walk again, which is a relatively happy thing. All that was left for Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang to do was to rush back to the company immediately after completing all this.
At this moment, Han Zilu of Fanxing Group had just finished a meeting. Knowing that Xu Fan was coming to the company today, he urgently convened a meeting first thing in the morning and informed everyone that Brother Fan might be coming to the market. For most people, this didn't mean anything, as their daily work remained unchanged. However, those who had been slacking off became tense, fearing that Xu Fan might suddenly appear and cause them trouble. So, when they heard that Xu Fan was coming, they pretended to work harder. Of course, they didn't pay too much attention to this, because they knew they had no control over how the company would operate, as their personal abilities weren't... Regarding company management, that's why he delegated full authority to Han Zilu, allowing her to personally manage the company's situation. At this moment, Xu Fan's girlfriend, Xiao Pu Sihan, upon returning to the company, didn't linger long. She immediately found Han Zilu and told her about her arrival and the events that occurred during her trip to the disaster area. This wasn't a betrayal but rather a sign of trust, because Han Zilu, in a sense, belonged to Fanxing Pictures. Simply put, Han Zilu was Xiao Pu's right-hand woman. Even though everyone knew Xiao Pu was Xu Fan's girlfriend, and the company belonged to Xu Fan, from another perspective, Xiao Pu was the true owner of the company. The company's female boss, but Xiao Pu was very serious about this matter because he felt that as Han Zilu's employee, he should report to her. This time, he signed the agreement in the name of the Starry Sky Fund. After seeing Han Zilu, he finished speaking about this matter. Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang also arrived from behind. When they saw Han Zilu, she immediately went to Xu Fan. She looked at Xu Fan calmly, but anyone could see something special in her eyes. Zhao Feiyang naturally saw this as well and subconsciously glanced at her. Xu Fan noticed that Xu Fan's eyes were calm and gentle from beginning to end. He knew that the person he liked only liked Xiao Pu, so he didn't think too much about it. Pu Sihan also came to Xu Fan's side, and the group sat facing each other to begin discussing the matter. As the current executive director of Fanxing Language, or rather, Han Zilu, who holds the most power in the company, and Xu Fan, being the chairman, means that Han Zilu is still Xu Fan's subordinate. Therefore, after Xu Fan's arrival, Han Zilu immediately reported to him. After a period of time, she looked at Xu Fan and said, "President Xu, you should know that the operation of Fanxing Film Industry is actually very humane. Simply put, all our processes and company operations are basically fixed, and everyone has their own responsibilities and division of labor, which is very clear. But now, we at Fanxing Fencing are transferring Xiao Pu there. What do you think?"
When Han Zilu spoke, Xu Fan glanced at her subconsciously, then at Xiao Bu beside him, and then at Zhao Feiyang. Zhao Feiyang nodded slightly, and Xu Fan had no objection. He looked at Xiao Pu without asking anything, and then looked at Han Zilu seriously: "That's right, if Xiao Pu is to go to the Starry Sky Foundation, I would also strongly agree."
The fact that even a child could speak out at this time shows that Han Zilu herself doesn't have much control over power. Of course, she wasn't saying anything else, but rather offering her personal opinion. In fact, before this, when Xu Fan created the Star Foundation, he had considered who would ultimately be the head of the Star Foundation and make the most important decision. This was because the Star Foundation was related to his future reputation. If any donation was not transparent, or if money was deducted based on his position, it would affect him. Therefore, the Star Foundation had to be managed by someone he trusted most. Xu Fan's initial idea was to have Zhao Fei manage it, as he felt secure with the funds. So, Zhao Fei became his most important consideration. However, after discussing it with Zhao Fei, he found that Zhao Fei had no such idea and wanted to continue being his agent, constantly providing him with a platform for creative work. Xu Fan didn't hesitate when faced with this question. After thinking it over, he realized that Xiao Pu was the person he trusted the most. Besides, as a girl, Xiao Pu would be more careful and safer with money. So when Han Zilu raised this question, he naturally didn't object.
Having made this decision, Xu Fan naturally didn't hesitate. After telling Han Zilu about the situation, he directly issued an inscription to Fanxing Pictures, which essentially meant that there was a concept of "gilding" or "gilding." Simply put, Xu Fan brought Xiao Pu to Fanxing Pictures hoping that he could learn something from Han Zilu. Now, after this period of learning, Xiao Pu's abilities are strong enough. So, he believes that Xiao Pu's personal abilities are fully capable of independently managing the Fanxing Foundation. Besides issuing the announcement, Xu Fan naturally had more things to do. Han Zilu also had many things she wanted to report to Xu Fan. Looking at Xu Fan earnestly, she continued, "Currently, the company only has two types of directors. In addition to the projects you've prepared, we also have several other projects in preparation, including two films: one a commercial romance film and the other a fantasy blockbuster. The effects and scripts for both films are complete. I'll send them to you later so you can take a look. In addition, we also have a television director who is already planning a TV series. We're considering whether to postpone this project, and that requires your decision."
Xu Fan nodded and, after thinking it over, obtained various materials from Han Zilu. After reviewing them for half an hour and an hour, he said in a deep voice, "Both the movie scripts and the overall concept of the TV series are perfect. I think these directors are quite capable. I would like to work with them again if I have the opportunity. But for now, I'll just give them a few scripts to consider. I hope their work can be even better. I also hope that our future collaborations will be on an equal footing. Tell them that as long as they are willing to make a good film, or as long as they can make a good film, I will definitely support them wholeheartedly."
This was Xu Fan's statement, a show of support for Fanxing Pictures. Hearing this, Han Zilu was actually quite excited. As the CEO of Fanxing Pictures, he naturally hoped that his company's performance would be good enough. These directors and the film scripts they were about to shoot were their current assets. The fact that these assets had Xu Fan's recognition and support was an advantage for them. If these things could make money in the future, then all the credit would naturally go to him. Of course, the child never thought about the function, but rather he felt that if this matter could be resolved, then Xu Fan's busy time would be slightly less in the future.
Of course, Xu Fan had no thoughts on these matters. In his view, as long as the company's internal situation could be resolved and the actual cash inflow and outflow could be managed in the coming period, that would be enough. He also had more important things to do. After talking with Han Zilu about this issue for a long time, it was finally over. Xu Fan and Fei Yang did not stay at Starry Night for too long because they had other people with them.
When Xu Fan came to Zhonghai again, he had Zhao Feiyang contact Xu Shan. As the collaborator for this new movie, Xu Fan and Xu Shan had not seen each other since the last stop of the global tour. Now that they had met, they wanted to think carefully about how to shoot the movie they had discussed.
Or rather, where to begin filming—these are the questions they will soon be discussing.
(End of this chapter)
===Chapter 927 Discussion of the Movie===
Xu Fan saw Xu Shan again around 10 a.m. the next day.
Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang personally went downstairs to pick up Xu Shan, and then went to a hotel to have a meal while discussing some issues related to the movie.
Before this, Xu Fan and Xu Shan had already had a long conversation. They had agreed on the future direction and script of the film, but they didn't discuss the specifics. So, when they met again, they naturally wanted to put the matter on the agenda. In other words, the purpose of their meeting was to prepare for the filming of this movie.
Xu Fan's global tour has come to a complete end, as has his cultural performance in the disaster area. Now, Xu Fan is focused on his singing career, but his filmmaking journey continues. Therefore, for him, making movies is the most important thing in the coming period. So, how to make movies is what he needs to do. As Xu Fan's manager, Jiao Fei Bank naturally knows Xu Fan's goals and direction, so he came to the scene as soon as possible and sat down with Xu Fan to offer his ideas and suggestions.
Xu Shan is an excellent director and actor. He has not only acted in films directed by Xu Fan, but also directed some very good films. Therefore, the collaboration between Xu Fan and Xu Shan is sure to create a frenzy in the market.
Xu Fan was uncertain about the future market, as well as the survival and box office performance of the next film in this world. However, he believed that with his and Xu Shan's combined abilities, the resulting work would not be too bad. This time, Xu Fan did not plan to directly contact the system. Besides the film he had already prepared and the movie he was filming with Xu Shan, Xu Fan planned to make another fantasy TV series or a similar movie. This time, he was prepared to go all out to do a good job. Xu Shan was also fully prepared. Wasn't Xu Fan holding a global tour before this? However, Xu Shan, as an actor and director, possesses exceptional personal abilities. While Xu Fan was busy holding concerts, singing, and acting, he himself began studying the script, the specific content, and the storyline of the film. Therefore, when Xu Fan invited him to discuss the film, he arrived without hesitation. The group sat down, chatting and eating. When they had finished eating and drinking, they naturally turned to the two film-related questions. Xu Shan, as the main figure present, spoke first. He looked at Xu Fan and his agent, Zhao Feiyang, and picked up his glass, saying, "Let's have a drink first, then I'll first outline our future framework. We can discuss any issues further."
Xu Fan and Xu Shan had no objections. They had their own reasons for coming, but Xu Shan was older, so it was perfectly reasonable for him to speak first. So the two nodded quietly and listened to Xu Shan speak.
Xu Shan didn't stand on ceremony. Seeing Xu Fan and Zhang Feiyang down their drinks, he looked at them earnestly and said, "This time, our film will definitely shock everyone. Our interests and choices will be as unrestrained as in our own films. Of course, Xu Fan and I shouldn't have much of a problem with that. So far, every film we've made is quite good, whether it's casting or the script. Please forgive my slight narcissism; personally, I think we still can't match Xu Fan's abilities in filmmaking, but I believe we can definitely create even better films in the future." Regarding the film, the first point is about the script. Since Mr. Xu Fan has already communicated and confirmed the script's direction, there won't be any changes. Our film's future direction is the fantasy genre, so our lead actors and style need to be carefully synchronized. Firstly, I suggest avoiding veteran stars for the lead roles. We need more than just good acting skills; we need people who are truly suited to the fantasy genre. If we can't find suitable actors for the roles, the effect won't be good.
Xu Shan paused here, remaining silent for a moment. He knew this was the time for the other two to think, because any topic needs to be considered before an answer can be found. After a moment of thought, Zhao Feiyang spoke up, "To be honest, I don't know much about movies, but I'd like to ask, if we don't mention those veteran acting masters, how can we guarantee the quality of the film's actors?"
Xu Fan didn't speak, and Xu Shan naturally knew he was about to answer his gaze. He looked at the other man and said, "Yes, this is indeed a problem, which is why we discussed this beforehand. My personal suggestion is that we hold a speaking competition now. Simply put, it's about playing and portraying a character. Whether it's an amateur or an established star, we can have some rehearsals and give them some time to get a feel for the role and acting skills. If they can do better, then we can determine the next actor. At the same time, we can provide different training for different actors. This is the most important and important point for me. What do you two think?"
At the time, Xu Shan suggested conducting preliminary training, or having more actors audition for the roles. If suitable candidates proved suitable, the roles would be finalized later. This is actually quite normal in the film industry. After all, determining who is suitable for a role isn't something that can be done at a glance. Aside from those with already established acting skills, most people can only determine their suitability for the film through trial and error. Regarding the latter point, Xu Fan and Xu Shan were slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized it seemed feasible. Firstly, it was a parallel training approach; each role might involve multiple actors, meaning seven or eight people might audition for a particular role. Among them, the three of them would receive training. While it's said to be three, it's actually just Xu Shan and Xu Fan. Zhao Feiyang didn't have much experience with acting, so he wouldn't have many objections. So, if... To do this, Xu Fan and Xu Shan would take turns teaching actors, whether they were newcomers or veterans. Anyone whose acting wasn't up to par, or whose acting was passable but not quite at a certain level, would have to accept the challenge and learn. Xu Fan thought this was excellent, and at this point, he couldn't help but say, "I support this view. First of all, this approach will definitely be helpful. For our actors, their individual abilities will inevitably improve significantly. Secondly, for our films, this method will indeed make the entire film better, because our actors' acting skills are constantly improving, and we can also find actors who are more suitable for the roles our films need. More importantly, we can use this method to let more people know that filmmaking also requires a learning process, instead of just repeating numbers like 'one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one,' thus enabling more people to become actors."
Clearly, Xu Shan agreed with this idea, which is why he asked Xu Fan for a photo. Hearing Xu Fan's approval of his statement, Xu Shan was quite excited. He continued, "So, let's put this issue aside for now. We need to seriously consider the other issues. Since our actors have already been cast, how should we adapt? Do we have any actors we'd particularly recommend? For example, I remember an actress, Leng Xiaogu. Her figure and overall appearance are excellent, but due to internal company reasons, she hasn't had the opportunity to try out some great roles. I think she could join our training program and experience the offline atmosphere. If possible, she might be a good actress."
Xu Shan's recommendation made Xu Fan slightly hesitant. He knew very well that Xiao Gu and Xue Laiyi were related—cousins. Xu Shan's method of recommendation, in a sense, was definitely tinged with personal bias. However, Xu Fan also understood the significance of Xu Shan's recommendation. Firstly, not everyone could be a newcomer; there needed to be some good actors with a certain appeal. Clearly, Leng Xiao Gu was that kind of person, and Xu Fan highly regarded her acting skills. Although Leng Xiao Gu had never participated in his film or television productions, he had seen her face more than once. Therefore, choosing her... Training her doesn't mean she's cast in the role, which is something worth serious consideration. So Xu Fan agreed without hesitation, saying, "Leng Xiaogu's acting skills are quite good, and I highly approve of them. We've had many discussions before, so I agree to let her join our training program. She can start training directly without any special considerations. We'll continue with the normal training for the others. Besides that, we also need to think about who the pioneering characters in the fantasy genre are. We need to carefully consider and find them all, hoping to make the whole film more meaningful through this approach."
Xu Shan nodded repeatedly, because he suddenly realized that Xu Fan's deepest thoughts were surprisingly similar to his own. Simply put, their ideas were remarkably alike, especially regarding film. This greatly boosted his confidence. Previously, although Xu Fan was going to collaborate with him, and although he highly regarded Xu Fan's directing and acting skills, even considering them superior to his own, he still worried that such an excellent director and actor might do things that offended him based on his own wishful thinking. But now, during their discussions, he suddenly discovered that their ways of thinking were often similar. In this situation, he could see Xu Fan's seriousness about the matter and trusted him. Xu Fan was certain that he and Xu Fan would create a very beautiful film together, which would definitely achieve excellent box office results. So, he was in a very good mood and continued, "Then there's the issue of location selection. Since we're making a fantasy film, the whole movie must have a fantasy atmosphere. First of all, our scenery must be beautiful. My personal suggestion is to go to Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan Province. Of course, we can also go to other places. This is just my personal suggestion. In addition, the scenes cannot be monotonous. Moreover, my suggestion is to go to real locations, because only truly beautiful real locations can truly reflect the atmosphere of fantasy. If we simply use some technological power to create a so-called offline atmosphere, we may be able to create something very beautiful, but the authenticity will inevitably be lowered. And I personally am more good at shooting real-life things into the movie. What's your opinion on this?"
Xu Shan's manner and attitude showed he was very serious and sincere in listening to these words. Xu Fan's heart was not disturbed at all, because he had the same idea in his heart. Since it was a fantasy film, although it was difficult to encounter such scenes and images in real life, certain locations could be used to create such conditions. Of course, not all scenes needed to be filmed on location, because he also knew that some scenes could not be filmed on location and could only be created through virtual technology to create one fantasy environment after another.
Since that's the case, Xu Fan felt there was no need to worry too much. On this issue, he and Xu Shan once again shared the same idea, so the two of them became even more excited.
Zhao Feiyang sat to the side watching the two of them excitedly and couldn't help but praise them. He had to admit that he was confident their collaboration in this film would be perfect.

===Chapter 928 You're Going to Write a Novel===
A perfect film framework is never something one or two people can accomplish. While the West has a system, he doesn't want to rely solely on it this time. He wants to collaborate with Xu Shan, utilizing his own abilities, to write the film. Of course, he's well aware that his current directing and acting skills all come from the system, but at least for now, these abilities are his own. Therefore, he hopes to use his current abilities to negotiate and coordinate with Xu Shan to complete the film. He doesn't want everything to depend on the system, especially since the system is currently silent; the awakening of the Power Gathering System will take some time. There should be at least thirteen or fourteen days left. Xu Fan didn't know what the system would be like after he woke up again, but he believed that this system's "death sentence" would inevitably bring about earth-shattering changes. Although he didn't know the specifics of these changes, he wanted to avoid disrupting his current thoughts if possible. Therefore, when communicating with Xu Shan, he truly let his inner thoughts flow freely. It was precisely because of this free expression that Xu Shan admired Xu Fan even more, because he hadn't expected Xu Fan's research in directing and filmmaking to have reached such a masterful level. In his eyes, Xu Fan was just a promising young man, but ultimately, he was still just a young man, lacking experience. However, today's exchange completely changed his perspective, making him clearly understand that there are truly mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens in this world.
Xu Fan may appear young, but his personal abilities are actually ridiculously strong. At least in his eyes, Xu Fan's performance at this moment is truly amazing. From any angle, Xu Fan's personal abilities have reached an extraordinary level, which is why he sincerely admires him. Of course, Xu Fan feels the same way. He is also experiencing such a powerful shock for the first time. During their communication, he suddenly realized that Xu Fan's personal abilities have surpassed his imagination. Even before he obtained the system, Xu Fan had watched many of Xu Fan's movies, whether directed or starring. He knew that Xu Fan's personal abilities were very strong. It was precisely for this reason that during the filming of "Dying to Survive," Xu Fan not only... He invited Xu Shan to play a role as an actor, and even offered him a position as assistant director, because he had great faith in Xu Shan's abilities. However, upon meeting him again, he suddenly discovered that his student's abilities had surpassed his expectations, especially in the realm of fantasy films, where his talent was ridiculously strong. Although some of Xu Shan's ideas were somewhat far-fetched, he believed they would greatly benefit the entire film, for which he was very grateful. At the same time, he gained even greater respect for Xu Shan, and both of them developed a deeper admiration for each other. As a result, their conversation became increasingly engaging, and Zhao Feiyang, sitting to the side, was also slightly moved by what he heard.
He had never seen his good brother, Xu Fan, talk to anyone else for so long about work, or rather, he had never seen Xu Fan talk so much with anyone other than Xu Shan about filming. Before this, the Xu Fan he knew could summarize everything—whether it was directing, acting, or anything else—in just a few words and throw out all the questions. But today's Xu Fan was completely different. Like always, he was the subject of every conversation. This was quite strange, but Xu Fan's personal abilities were admired and recognized by most people. At least at this moment, Zhao Feiyang thought Xu Fan looked really cool.
The two chatted back and forth, their entire day dedicated to discussing the upcoming film. Regardless of the specific scenes, their conversation covered everything from the film's opening and ending to the overall visual concept, the music, acting, and even the plot. Xu Fan and Xu Shan offered numerous opinions. It's worth noting that Xu Fan will again be performing the film's theme song. As a true singer, Xu Fan possesses exceptional talent, making it natural for his songs to be used as background music or the theme song. Such opportunities are rare, and many would love to have Xu Fan's songs used as theme songs. It was extremely difficult, but for Xu Fan and Xu Shan, or rather, their script, it was naturally a breeze. They believed their own work should be supported and complemented by the best resources. For example, Xu Fan's songs were a crucial element of their film, crucial for promotion, filming, and overall effect. They were well aware that Xu Fan's songs would bring a unique experience. Because of this, their conversation led to a discussion about songs. Xu Fan suddenly realized that while Xu Shan primarily focused on film, possessing exceptional directing and acting skills, he also had a strong singing and musical ability, though compared to Xu Fan, he seemed somewhat amateurish.
For Xu Shan, this is his most authentic self, and he wants to express himself freely in this process. So, after some conversation, Xu Fang decided that Xu Shan would sing the theme song for the fantasy film, and Xu Fan himself would also sing one. Since the film needs two theme songs, an end credits song, and an opening credits song, Xu Fan decided to personally select each song, with the singer to be chosen by Xu Shan or someone else. Xu Shan was determined to take every decision seriously and hoped that his creations would be well-received—a deep-seated desire he held dear. He didn't want anything to contradict his wishes. Most importantly, Xu Fan had immense confidence in his songs; he believed they would become popular online and were perfectly suited for the film. His primary goal was to create a song truly suited to the movie. He also had another idea... After the entire film was created, the songs sung by Xu Shan, other lead actors, and Xu Fan, among others, were all performed. Xu Fan decided that everyone should have a sense of authenticity and sing genuinely, rather than relying on others' styles. Regardless of their preferences, he wanted to convey the most realistic visuals. At the same time, Xu Fan felt that in order to realistically express the previous environment, besides filming in some very beautiful rocky areas, every other shot had to be carefully improved to prevent future problems. Aside from these, Xu Fan and Xu Shan also discussed a lot, such as the overall framework of the film. In the process, they somehow ended up talking about television. In other words, Xu Fan and Xu Shan suddenly realized that the story was too strong and there were too many stories. Under these circumstances, it seemed that the film could no longer express their deep creative vision for this fantasy film. So at this moment, Xu Fan and Xu Shan looked at each other in bewilderment, because they suddenly realized that perhaps a television series would be the best option. For a moment, neither of them knew how to decide.
Should they continue filming the movie, or temporarily switch to filming a TV series? Their colleague Zhao Feiyang offered a suggestion: "The story is beautiful, and I've heard your idea. But personally, I think we could choose one option: make a short two-hour movie, modifying the core of the story, and then film it as a movie. Then we could film a TV series with the same theme, genre, and even the same main characters. I personally feel that the world-building of the TV series is too grand, and the background is very powerful. In this situation, just making a movie would be too monotonous. Of course, we could choose to make a sequel or a series, but a fantasy series like this is unlikely to succeed in the Chinese film market. So, I personally think we should try making a movie first, and then make some changes to the TV series based on the audience's reaction."
Upon hearing Zhao Feiyang's suggestion, Xu Fan and Xu Shan naturally shared the same idea. After a moment's thought, they stopped Zhao Feiyang from speaking and Xu Shan said, "I think it's definitely worth considering. The entire movie is only two hours long. If we merge the stories, we might be able to extract a special segment. For example, with so many novels like Journey to the West, we could take the 'Three Battles with the White Bone Demon' segment and make it into a movie. If that's the case, I think there's absolutely no problem with it, and I think the effect would be quite good. However, we need to think carefully about how to create such a movie."
"Since we basically have all the scripts ready-made, it's very easy for us to make a movie. But if we want to make a TV series, there will naturally be a lot of problems. Of course, I personally think we can try it."
Xu Fan's words were simple. After he finished speaking, he looked at the two people, and naturally, their gazes also affected him. It has to be said that at this moment, the three of them had almost the same thoughts deep down. They all thought that they could shoot a short film in the coming time, and then plan a real TV series. So, after four or five hours of communication, their main idea had shifted from film to television. They felt that a real TV series, forty or fifty episodes long, was necessary to create the entire TV series or the entire story, and they believed that such a story was entirely possible. Xu Fan's mind was reminded of another book because of this story. He suddenly felt that he could also try to publish this book, which might also become a hit on the Internet.
One thing he remembered clearly was that at this very moment, his online editor, Xiao Gu, had published many of his novels online. Of course, these weren't his own works, but rather novels that he had transferred from another average world through the system. For example, "Ghost Blows Out the Light," "Tomb Raider Notes," and "My Repair Shop," among others, had already been published in this world. They were also considering transforming all these IPs into movies, TV series, games, comics, and so on. These were things that Xiao Gu and others had been communicating and thinking about, and Xu Fan didn't need to think about them. What Xu Fan was thinking about was whether he could combine a new book with the story he and his partner had imagined. In that case, he could definitely make a long-running TV series. If that were the case, he believed that there would definitely be a very large market prospect in the future. Thinking of this, Xu Fan slapped his thigh, looked at the two of them, and said, "In that case, it's settled. I've decided to publish a novel first, and then think about other issues."
After Xu Huan finished speaking, the two men shifted slightly. Neither Zhao Feiyang nor Xu Shan had expected Xu Fan to suddenly decide to publish a novel. They were both slightly shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief as they looked at Xu Fan. Only then did Xu Fan realize that he was an online author. He was slightly conflicted about whether or not to tell them, especially Zhao Feiyang. Although he and Zhao Feiyang had a very good relationship, Zhao Feiyang knew very well that Xu Fan had once been irritable because of payment issues related to updates, and had revealed or complained about it to him more than once. However, Xu Fan had not admitted it at the time, and had even discussed some of the novel's plot with him. Now, if he were to tell him that he was the author Zhao Feiyang had once angrily berated, how would he feel? At this moment, Xu Fan was actually very conflicted.
But after much deliberation, Xu Fan finally decided to release the novel first, and he felt it was time to tell everyone that he was a true online platinum-level author, a dragon walking among mortals.

===Chapter 929 Conception===
Although his decision to write a book wasn't solely to definitively tell everyone that he was the author they so vehemently criticized, a more important reason was his desire to share all the good works from that world with this world. Just like with his singing, he wanted more people to hear his songs because he felt they were truly beautiful and meaningful. These same thoughts also hold significance. In this online world, many people enjoy his work, but truly good works are few and far between. Xu Fan highly values those profound works, such as the previously released *Ghost Blows Out the Light* and *Tomb Raider Chronicles*. From any perspective, although some works are similar to horror, he believes that the authors are all highly capable and each work is excellent. He believes that they can attract more people to think and create more good works. So this time, he wants to tell everyone that he is the dragon walking in the room, the author that everyone wants to kill. He no longer wants to hide his vision. He looked at his good brother, Fei Yang, and nodded seriously, saying, "Actually, I am an author, and I am a very popular author on the internet. I know very well that you have read more than one of my works."
Zhao Feiyang never dreamed that Xu Fan's first words would be like this. He couldn't understand why Xu Fan would think this way, but regardless, his thoughts at this moment were very simple: Xu Fan said he had read his book, so what was it? He didn't think Xu Fan lacked the ability to write, because in his field of psychology, he was practically omnipotent, so he was very confident in Xu Fan's ability to learn and write. Therefore, his gaze was calm yet filled with shock as he asked, "Really? You really want to learn? What are you writing? Why didn't you say so before? You said I've read it, so is that something to talk about? I don't think you can write anything worthwhile, but what I want to know is, the works I've read are mostly by platinum masters. How could a newcomer, or rather, an ordinary person, possibly write something good, especially since I've already read it?"
Obviously, even if Zhao Fei didn't believe it, the school knew it was perfectly normal for him not to. However, he knew he had to tell him, so he wasn't afraid at all. He looked calmly at the photo and earnestly continued, "Can't I be a Platinum God? Although I haven't been around for very long, or rather, I haven't been writing books for very long, I am indeed a true Platinum God. My book is called Ghost Blows Out the Light, I'm sure you've read it, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Feiyang chuckled slightly, his mind racing. His gaze fixed on Xu Fan, a surge of anger welling up within him. He suspected Xu Fan was joking, yet he also felt there might be truth in what Xu Fan said. For a moment, he was at a loss, unsure what to do. Various thoughts raced through his mind. He hesitated, wondering whether he should admit it, or even tell Xu Fan about it. But when his gaze met Xu Fan's gentle eyes, he found himself able to restrain himself. He glared at Xu Fan, his voice sharp and angry, and demanded, "What exactly do you mean? You said your name is 'The Dragon Walking in the Room,' you said you wrote 'Ghost Blows Out the Light,' and you're the one who hasn't written in ages! Holy crap, is that true? Then hurry up and tell me what happens next! You want to write a new book? Why don't you make those books into movies? You really…"
Zhao Feiyang suddenly didn't know what to say. He suddenly realized that Xu Fan's personal abilities were so strong, and he was so smart. How could he not have thought of turning his work into a movie? So, if Xu Fan suddenly said he wanted to rewrite a movie, there must be some problem that Zhao Feiyang couldn't figure out. At this point, Zhao Feiyang knew that since he couldn't participate, there was no need to think about it. Looking at Zhao Feiyang's sudden change of heart, Zhao Feiyang felt a little guilty. He knew that Zhao Feiyang used to really enjoy reading his writing, but he hadn't kept up with it because of certain things. Some of the effects were contagious. Although Zhao Feiyang used to write tens of thousands of words a day, later he might not update or would only update once in a while. Later, Xu Fan handed over all the manuscripts to Xiao Gu, and after Xiao Gu started updating, everything became much simpler. So when he saw the sadness and heartbreak in Zhao Feiyang's eyes, he was still a little at a loss. Finally, he continued, "Maybe you are right, but I will definitely finish all the manuscripts for the previous books. At the same time, I will release a new book. I believe that we will be able to see a very good work in the future."
Zhao Feiyang was actually very excited. Although there were no versions of those works, he believed Xu Fan would definitely write them. More importantly, he had always had great faith in the author of "The Dragon in the Room," even though the author seemed to have vanished into thin air, appearing and disappearing suddenly. He still felt that this person was different from others, both in terms of the works themselves and in other aspects. However, he never dreamed that this author was actually his good brother Zhao Feiyan, and also the organizer of the global concert tour and superstar singer Xu Fan. In this situation, he felt helpless, or rather, powerless. But he still hoped that Xu Fan could write more and better works if possible, especially after seeing that Xu Fan was the author. He believed this even more, so he calmly looked at Xu Fan. He said seriously, "You mean your new work is a novel, and then you want to adapt it into a movie? If so, I think we might need to change our future development strategy. The reach of hot spring enthusiasts is huge. If there are problems or incompatibilities between your novel and the movie adaptation, the entire film will suffer. So, my personal suggestion is that if you really want to create the novel first and then adapt it into a movie, you must ensure a very high degree of compatibility. Many readers or fans of the original work expect a cast that matches their inner vision of the main characters, supporting characters, or the entire story. If you just randomly cast two actors, it will inevitably make the whole movie feel very unsatisfactory."
Xu Pan and the photo seemed to become completely absorbed in the conversation, chatting animatedly. Xu Shan, sitting nearby, was slightly taken aback. During their conversation, he understood something. His gaze towards Xu Fan was filled with curiosity and even more admiration. He never dreamed that Xu Fan had written one, or rather, many, books, and that his good friend was actually a fan. More importantly, he suddenly realized that Zhao Feiyang didn't know Xu Fan was such an author. Although he rarely read online literature, the fact that they both knew about Xu Fan's online presence was quite remarkable. Regardless, Xu Fan had already decided to immediately change his current status.
Before this, most people knew Xu Fan as a superstar, a singer, an actor, and a director. He was widely considered a philanthropist and a true volunteer, and many also recognized his talent as a director, having produced many excellent works such as "Dying to Survive" and "In the Name of the People." From any perspective, Xu Fan is almost omnipotent. Whether participating in variety shows like "The Coming One," as a newcomer, or as a mentor, every role he played brought a fresh perspective. More importantly, in the eyes of many, Xu Fan was truly revered, possessing a divine aura. However, beyond this, many were unaware of some of the roles Xu Fan played. For example, Xu Fan is actually a true "platinum god" (a term referring to a highly influential online figure). Although many had speculated this, as it had been revealed more than once before that Xu Fan was a network personality, and more importantly, many were unaware of things like his writing career. It turns out that Xu Fan was actually the "dragon walking in the room" (a reference to a popular online figure), because not long ago, or perhaps a year ago, a... The author, known as "Walking in the Room," first released a novel called "Ghost Blows Out the Light," which instantly became a sensation. The entire fandom was abuzz with discussion, praising its strong plot, pacing, overall structure, and storytelling. Many felt a unique spirit, feeling, and writing style within the novel. Everyone praised the author. After that, this author achieved the 7 o'clock Platinum status with just one book. Following this, Xu Fan released many more, such as "Tomb Raiders," a series even more powerful than "Ghost Blows Out the Light," which instantly became a hit across the internet. More importantly, everyone knew Xu Fan had another identity: he was a winner of the Mao Dun Literature Prize. Many already knew this, as his song "The Old Man and the Sea," sharing the same title, had won the Mao Dun Literature Prize long ago. Everyone was shocked, as they never dreamed that Xu Fan, a singer and lyricist, could create such a groundbreaking work and win the prize.
Therefore, it's conceivable that when Xu Fan truly reveals his identity, everyone's shock will be even more profound. However, many people will understand deep down because Xu Fan has already won the Mao Dun Literature Prize through his real-world works, which demonstrates his exceptional talent in online literature creation. It's quite reasonable and possible that he can create one classic work after another. So, if Xu Fan reveals his identity in this way, he will not only gain more recognition, but more people will also be drawn to his previous posts and his upcoming ones because of his name.
Xu Fan decided to release the story, and before that, he decided to reveal his name. So, he decided to do a short live stream that evening to tell everyone his other identity: the author of "Walking in the Room, the Dragon." He told Zhao Feiyang about this idea, and Zhao Feiyang readily agreed, promising to do his best to help throughout the live stream. Of course, deep down, Zhao Feiyang was quite annoyed, even angry. He had never imagined that his good friend hadn't told him he was the author. Of course, he didn't actually apply for the title; it was just a facade, because he also knew very well that Xu Fan... If we leverage the author's current status, especially as a platinum-level online novelist, it will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the promotion of his future films and television series. Moreover, based on his understanding of Xu Fan, he has reason to believe that if Xu Fan were to create another work, it would inevitably be related to the television series or film they were going to create. In this case, Zhao Feiyang felt that if it were a film or television series with the same name, it would definitely have a huge effect. The two complementing each other would surely bring a different kind of shock and a different effect to most people. Naturally, he also hoped that such a thing could happen, which is why he decided that he would accompany Xu Fan throughout the entire process.
Xu Fan certainly wouldn't object to Zhao Fei's involvement in this matter. On the contrary, with Chaofayuan's participation, he felt that he would have a lot of free time, or rather, more time to prepare.
He already had plans for his next book in mind. After all, the system was there, and he already had a complete version in his mind. All he had to do was copy it, write out every word, and then publish it. The rest of the time would be spent on his live stream and the publication.
