When everyone suddenly heard these lyrics, a particular question arose deep within them: was there someone behind the song, or something, some story, that led to everyone's abandonment at the most crucial moment? Of course, it's also possible that Xu Fan himself experienced a special kind of love, which he described in these lyrics at that moment. However, the truth is, when Xu Fan sang this song, he didn't have any other feelings. As a love song musician, or rather, a slow, lyrical musician, he was still somewhat unaccustomed to singing in a DJ style. Even so, he was still somewhat surprised when the song was sung, because... He now clearly understands that this is the only song he has left, and in this situation, he can only sing this one. However, he thought that not many people would have any particular thoughts about this DJ song. But in fact, this song has indeed resonated with and moved countless people. Although every turn is for a possibility, hoping that love can be sweet and colorful, willing to have an incredible seriousness, you want my simplicity and purity, an intern without any concerns about meaning, all the problems are simply described in the lyrics of this song. When everyone seriously thinks about this matter, they will find that the story often requires the seriousness of many people to come to fruition.
At this moment, everyone's expression seemed to become unified, because their movements were also unified. Everyone was jumping, everyone was moving to the rhythm of the music. Even Xu Fan himself was standing at the highest point of the stage, waving his hands and jumping up and down. Although he was moving down to the rhythm of the music, for him, this moment was no longer just about being a singer, but about being a DJ performing at the Zhonghai Music Festival.
It's important to know that the China-Korea Music Festival is a global DJ music program, bringing together music lovers from dozens of countries around the world. Every music lover has a deep appreciation for DJs, so everyone listening to the songs and Xu Fan singing were very serious. Everyone's movements and expressions seemed to be in sync, which meant that everyone was singing with their hearts. Xu Fan's lyrics were also not affected by this, and he continued to sing them with great seriousness.
……
Startled awake by Leng Feng in the darkness, I sighed that this was all just a dream. Sheng Xiao wanted to hug him at three o'clock. The business owner and the second hand of the deep silence of the night gave me a gentle feeling of justice and the second hand of the night that truly stopped. Like a wave, it happened without fear of the cold and the heavy wind. In the rush of life, my hands were empty.
……
The lyrics seemed to have undergone some special changes, and everyone seemed to hear a special meaning in them. He didn't know what others were thinking. For him, the fact that this song could be released at this time was the only choice, and also a choice he had to make. Since that was the case, whether the song was good or bad, he didn't think too much about the results and consequences. For him, only by singing this song and gaining the recognition and applause of at least 20,000 people could he complete the task. Only by completing the tasks assigned by the system could he obtain what he needed most right now: money. For him, the 1 billion yuan in cash provided by the system was the most important thing right now. After all, the movies and TV series he was going to shoot next would require huge investments. And right now, because of the system upgrade, all the billions he had earned in the past year had disappeared.
Therefore, under these circumstances, Xu Fan actually had no choice. He could only sing this song on such an opportunity and in such a setting, and gain some support and applause, so that he would have a chance to win over Xu Feng and Zhao Feiyang. The most important reason why Xu Feng and Zhao Feiyang ultimately focused their attention on this music festival after various choices was that there were indeed at least 20,000 people at this music festival. Moreover, due to the system's task, he had to wear a mask and could not reveal his name or identity as Xu Fan.
In this situation, it was impossible for Xu Fan to gain the recognition and support of 20,000 people without revealing his identity through a single song. Fortunately, the music festival did indeed help Xu Fan a lot.
This music festival truly had the perfect combination of timing, location, and people. Whether it was his own songs, the number of people in the audience, or the feedback from the audience after he finished singing, all of these proved that his performance tonight was a success. Although the first six people had already performed perfectly, whether it was the first and fifth people singing their own songs, or the second to last female star, or the female musician whose songs were also extremely popular, at this moment when Xu Fan started singing, everyone had to re-examine the outcome of this music festival extravaganza.
After all, Xu Fan's song may seem simple, but its rhythm has truly surpassed that of everyone before. Those who were about to leave subconsciously stopped, or even turned around and came back, waving their hands and twisting their bodies to express their thoughts in rhythm with the music.
Therefore, it must be acknowledged that completing the mission tonight is a foregone conclusion for Xu Fan, or rather, completing the mission tonight is the most important thing for him, and now the result seems very obvious.
However, for Xu Fan, he would not give up on anything until a result was achieved. When he sang on stage, he sang very seriously, and even when there were fewer and fewer people in the audience, he remained extremely serious.
It wasn't until the song ended that Xu Fan finally relaxed from the deep tension in his heart.
Because he suddenly realized that the mission was already completed.
(End of this chapter)
===Chapter 963 Departure===
For Xu Fan right now, completing the mission is the primary goal, and at this moment, when the mission is completed, Xu Fan feels excited and thrilled.
This is the first task he completed after the system upgrade, and also the only task assigned to him by the system. So far, this task has been of great help to him, because he needs enough funds to successfully film the movie and TV series he has prepared. Obviously, the completion of this task has also accelerated the progress of his filming of the movie and TV series, because he believes that since the system has determined that the task has been successful, the 1 billion yuan in cash will arrive in his account as soon as possible, and after it arrives, he only needs to cash it in.
All the issues seemed to be getting tense, but for Xu Fan, none of the problems were the most important. The most important thing was always whether the funds would arrive in his account as soon as the mission was completed.
Just as Xu Wen was pondering this question, the system's voice suddenly rang out in his mind as always.
"Congratulations, host, on completing your first task after the system upgrade. A cash reward of one billion has been deposited into your account. Please check it immediately. In addition, as a special reward, your voice has been enhanced with vocal enhancements and improved pitch. We hope your singing will become better and better in the future."
The system's voice was gentle, but every word it uttered carried a hint of excitement. Besides informing him that the 1 billion yuan in cash had arrived, the most important thing was that it had actually improved his voice and aura. Although not by much, it was the best gift for him. He could now be considered a true singer, and a singer's essence lies in their voice, vocal quality, and aura. Previously, he had relied on the system, but now, with his physical abilities enhanced, even if it was still the system that improved his body, it was ultimately his own ability.
Since it was something he couldn't change and possess, Xu Fan was naturally very sincere in this situation. For him, this result was actually very good. When he knew that his task was completed, when he knew that his cash had been deposited into his account, and when he understood that all ten had been deposited into his account, the deep sense of relief he felt at that moment was something he later explained. He immediately called Xu Shan to tell him the general situation.
Xu Shan was delighted to receive Xu Fan's call. The mere fact that Xu Fan was calling him was a cause for celebration, especially since he was collaborating with Xu Fan on this film and television series. Although his role wasn't significant, it was a fantastic opportunity, particularly in the culinary arts. As a newly minted director, he was eager to work with Xu Fan, and he was thrilled to be on the project. However, Xu Fan had been struggling to secure funding, causing him some concern. But when Xu Fan called, his first message was that the funding issue was resolved and the funds were about to be used for filming. Naturally, Xu Shan was thrilled. For him, directing such a series and another film would be enough to solidify his status as a successful director. Therefore, Xu Fan's call filled him with immense excitement.
So on the phone, he was full of admiration for Xu Fan and used all sorts of serious language. For Xu Fan, all of this was taken for granted, or rather, impeccable. For him, all of this was just a normal path in life. Being able to solve these troublesome problems, which seemed like the director's doing, was actually just a series of coincidences.
Therefore, for Xu Fan in this lesson, his heart was naturally filled with excitement to complete the task, the primary condition being to gain the recognition and applause of at least 20,000 people.
However, the result now is that he has already accomplished this role. The applause and recognition of 20,000 people can be said to have been obtained with ease. This is also the happiest thing for Xu Fan since he came here tonight. First of all, he was wearing a mask tonight, which means that no one knew that he was Xu Fan. Moreover, his voice has also been significantly altered, so no one can recognize him by his voice. He likes that he can still gain the recognition and support of more than 20,000 people under these circumstances. This in itself is an incredible thing. The only thing that is more anticipated is that the appearance of this song is something that many people did not expect. It is completely different from the forgotten songs in the West. Or in his opinion, this song is indeed different. Previously, his songs were basically all soothing, slow love songs or similar inspirational songs. But this song, which is a representative work of DJ music, is something he has never sung in this form before.
Today happens to be at a global DJ music festival, and the fact that his songs can be shared with everyone under these circumstances is something to be happy about in itself. So, this exciting moment at the scene has deeply moved Xu Fan.
For some reason, Xu Fan suddenly became excited. But as his good brother, he was happy to see his wife's news, which made him feel the same way. He patted his wife on the shoulder and said seriously, "I have to admit, you were very successful tonight. Although I had never heard you sing DJ music before, your performance tonight was truly impressive. I really admire you. Although your songs were all soothing, slow-paced love songs before, tonight's DJ music really made me look at you in a new light. In my opinion, you are a true all-rounder in music. You can not only sing love songs but also inspirational songs. You can even sing the most difficult DJ music so easily. It's really admirable. Of course, you also have to admit that everyone here really appreciates you. Even with a mask on, your brilliance cannot be hidden."
Listening to Zhao Feiyang's boasting, Xu Fan shook his head, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't criticize me. I know my own situation very well, and I'm very clear about the details in my heart, so there's no need to say so much. Actually, I just created this world with a song that no one else has heard before. It's hard to say whether you believe it or not, but that's often the case. It's a song I wrote myself, and the only way to achieve this result is for everyone to hear it."
In fact, Xu Fei almost let slip what he was saying earlier. In a sense, he had already told his good friend Zhao Feiyang that he was not just a person in the real world, but someone who could bring a lot of things from another world. However, his mind was quick to react. At the beginning, he really just said those words subconsciously because of the song. Later, he quickly reorganized his thoughts and started to say something else. So at this moment, no one would know what had just happened. At least, both of them had tacitly forgotten about it.
Both Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang have high expectations for the future. Xu Fan, in particular, has completed the task assigned by the system, so he has no worries about the potential for the future. Even if he wants to film TV series and movies, he has no worries about money. He believes that as long as he has enough time, he will definitely be able to obtain enough funds to create value for himself. I am more upset about my wife. She never thought that the 100 million yuan in cash she earned from filming movies and TV series was obtained through the system.
Before joining the Health Bureau, Zhao Feiyang had at least several billion yuan on him. This money was not obtained through system rewards, but was almost entirely from bonuses earned through his hard work. Therefore, he hoped to continue his efforts in the coming period. During this time, Zhao Feiyang had no other thoughts. In his view, being able to help Xu Fan was a happy thing in itself. If he did not do well or the results were not satisfactory, that would be perfectly normal.
Xu Fan and Chao Fayuan couldn't help but embrace each other tightly. The music continued to play, and more importantly, the music festival's program wasn't over yet. Xu Fan's performance of "Second Hand" was immediately replayed by the music organizers, keeping the atmosphere incredibly exciting. Every audience member unconsciously started waving their hands and feet, their movements seemingly synchronized yet chaotic. It's undeniable that Xu Fan's rendition of "Tomorrow" completely captivated the audience. For Xu Fan, he had never imagined that his performance tonight would... Despite performing in a superficial manner, he still garnered a lot of recognition and applause. What excited him most, however, was something he'd mentioned countless times: the feeling of receiving a billion yuan. When he checked his bank card, he was genuinely thrilled. Putting all that aside, he and Zhao Feiyang didn't linger at the venue any longer. For them, their mission was complete, or rather, for Xu Fan, the mission was complete, so there was no time or need to stay. Zhao Feiyang, naturally, didn't care. For him, coming to the China-Korea Music Festival tonight was to accompany Xu Fan. Since Xu Fan was there and sang this song, he could simply listen as an audience member, and leaving was perfectly acceptable.
So for him, staying or leaving was essentially the same. Since Xu Fan was leaving, there was no need for him to stay, and it was meaningless. He didn't particularly like such lively occasions, especially a music festival. At this moment, everyone wanted to see what kind of person Xu Fan was, or rather, everyone wanted to know who that masked young man was and why he could sing such a good opera. Moreover, according to the organizers, the song was an original work by the masked person. Under these circumstances, everyone was curious but didn't know who that person was. However, the organizers then offered a brief explanation: the masked person had no name and wouldn't reveal any identity. If you liked her, then just call her the masked singer. Xu Fan was unaware that he was actually... Thus, he gained another nickname. In fact, a long, long time ago, when Xu Fan sang "Your Answer" in Xia Ziling's live stream, many people called him a masked master. At that time, Xu Fan had no other thoughts; he was just a newly debuted singer, having just participated in the competition "The Coming One." Not long after leaving, he sang for the first time in Xia Zixin's live stream. In that situation, although he was also wearing a mask, his voice was completely public. More importantly, he had absolutely no fame at that time, and singing that song truly shocked everyone. However, today's concert is completely different. Because, in a sense, Xu Fan is already a very famous global singer, and the song he's singing now is a new DJ track. Although he's also singing masked, there's a huge difference between the two. Xu Fan was previously unknown and obscure, while Xu Fan is now incredibly popular, a singer across the internet, and arguably a singer who has held global tours. The comparison between the two shows a clear difference.
Simply put, Xu Fan used to be timid and didn't want more people to hear or see him sing. But now he has no choice. If he reveals his face, firstly, he won't be able to complete the tasks assigned by the system, and secondly, as a globally recognized singer, appearing at a music festival is something that would raise suspicion or cause concern.
Therefore, Xu Fan had no thoughts about this exposure. For him, being able to sing such a song on such an occasion and offer everyone a different kind of music in the form of a DJ was something to be happy about.
Thinking about these things, Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang had already left the scene early, and even though the excitement at the scene was still related to Xu Fan, he didn't pay any more attention to it.
===Chapter 964 Film Planning===
The music festival has come to an end, or rather, for most people, it has simply disappeared forever.
But for netizens, this music festival will never end, because everything tonight was so amazing. Not only did Xu Fan perform two songs and DJ remixes, but a mysterious song called "Miaocheng" also appeared and became a huge hit.
There was no way around it; Xu Fan's "Second Hand" was just too popular. Although, for those at the event and online, the songwriter remained a mystery—he was simply a masked bass-baring singer, nothing more—the music festival ended around 11 PM. However, the online discussion was immense, continuing until after 1 AM. Weibo, Douyin, and other major platforms were abuzz with discussions about everything that happened at the China-Korea music festival that night. For example, the DJ changes to two Xu Fan songs sparked countless debates. After all, as one of the most influential young musicians in China, Xu Fan is adored by almost everyone. To most, he's an all-around idol, possessing not only excellent singing ability... Or rather, he not only possesses exceptional songwriting abilities but also filmmaking skills, as he is not only a singer but also a director and an excellent professional actor. Under these circumstances, he enjoys widespread recognition. This explains why Xu Fan was able to create so many songs in such a short time, attracting countless netizens across the country and even the world. Xu Fan's influence is immense. Moreover, tonight's China-Korea Music Festival is a global music program, naturally drawing the attention of music lovers worldwide. Consequently, Xu Fan's two adapted songs naturally became widely recognized, especially when the melodies first appeared, further strengthening everyone's appreciation for these songs.
The most significant impact of those two songs was that after Xu Fan's songs became popular and gained widespread recognition, they naturally sparked a wave of online discussion. Netizens began creating their own DJ sets, especially of Xu Fan's songs, almost all of which were modified. They hoped to increase their own fame by altering Xu Fan's music. This method became incredibly popular both domestically and internationally. Countless countries around the world love Xu Fan's music. After hearing these DJ sets, people adapted many of Xu Fan's songs, both Chinese and English. This is truly remarkable.
When musicians worldwide began DJing Xu Fan's songs, his online fame soared once again. His popularity grew, and online reviews of his music increased dramatically. People discovered a deeper, more nuanced quality to his work; some songs, while incredibly beautiful on the surface, remained captivating even after being DJ-remixed. This improved quality was entirely different from Xu Fan's original songs, evoking a unique emotional response that resonated deeply with each listener. Consequently, countless online comments emerged. However, compared to the online buzz surrounding Xu Fan, the masked man who appeared at the music festival was even more significant.
The appearance of the masked man, a mysterious and high-level musician, at the China-Korea Music Festival sparked a frenzy among netizens. His sudden and accidental appearance ignited the atmosphere, bringing the event to its peak. The atmosphere had already reached its climax when the girl before the masked man took the stage. Just when everyone thought the peak was reached, Xu Fan, or rather the masked man, suddenly appeared. His powerful Chinese DJ song, "Second Hand," completely stunned the audience, earning their utmost admiration. Everyone felt a deep love for the song. Therefore, when "DJ Second Hand" circulated online, opinions were divided, with various interpretations and opinions constantly emerging regarding Xu Fan's performance.
Xu Fan himself, or rather, Xu Fan himself, had never thought about these things. Because his purpose in singing as the masked man in the city, or rather, wearing a mask, was only to complete the task given by the system. He didn't just want to share the song with everyone, but more importantly, he wanted to get the 1 billion yuan in cash after completing the task. Now that the task was completed, all of this was irrelevant to him, or rather, none of this mattered to him anymore. So after it ended, he and Zhao Feiyang returned home together. However, he didn't care about the online comments. But when he suddenly remembered something in the middle of the night and opened Weibo, he was still incredibly shocked. He had never expected such an outcome. When he looked at the comments on Weibo, Douyin, or other online platforms, he couldn't help but be shocked and speechless.
"I have to admit that, apart from Xu Fan, this is the first DJ I've ever liked. Before this, I had never listened to DJ music, or rather, I rarely really liked any songs. However, tonight's DJ song by Zhengmian Junjun truly and utterly amazed me. I've completely fallen in love with it."
"I have to admit, I really have to admit, because this song is truly excellent. It resonated deep within me, and I subconsciously wanted to say a million times that I love the rhythm and the atmosphere of the DJ music. It really reached a climax. I have to acknowledge it and strongly recommend and praise it."
"This is something that's hard to put into words, because this song is truly amazing. Every single line of it is so outstanding that I don't know what to say about its excellence, or how to praise it. Fan Ge's excellence is just that astonishing, or rather, the author behind this song is truly that outstanding. I admire him greatly."
"The person upstairs is wrong. They were probably referring to Fan Ge's two cover songs. However, my favorite is still the last song tonight, or rather, 'Second Hand Uncle, Second Hand' was absolutely brilliant. Seriously, I never imagined a DJ song could be so excellent, so likable. I hope this songwriter can continue to create such great original songs."
"The only regret is that we have to attend a live DJ music festival, but I really love this song. I hope the songwriter can maintain this level of talent. Maybe the next Xu Fan will be you, but I also believe that Brother Fan's songs will bring more different kinds of brilliance, because I believe that Brother Tang's songs will continue to be great."
"You didn't expect it, did you? Nobody expected it, right? This song is so beautiful! I myself hope that I can hear this mysterious person sing again in the near future, and I also hope to hear a different voice and a different melody in his songs."
There's a huge amount of discussion online about Xu Fan, or rather, about the song by the "Black-Faced Giant." Almost all the discussions revolve around the love for that song, which seems to have become a symbol of lowbrow music. For most listeners who rarely listen to DJ music, it's a pure enjoyment, something they instinctively like. It's a different kind of work, completely different from ordinary soothing songs. The DJ rhythm and atmosphere of that song are unmatched by most DJ music, representing a completely different path. Therefore, the song is incredibly popular online right now. Xu Fan looked at the comments and news about Yi Long, remaining silent for a long time. Ultimately, he didn't say anything, because for him, all the problems were in the past. He just needed to focus on doing his best in everything that followed.
As for Xu Fan, having decided to stop considering or thinking about this matter, he fell asleep again. However, the netizens tonight were quite different. For most of them, Xu Fan's new song had truly shocked everyone. Based on their previous understanding of DJ music, they were basically used while driving, at karaoke, or at a karaoke bar. So, when this DJ music suddenly became popular live, it was truly astonishing. This was because Xu Fan was wearing a mask when he performed this song tonight. No one knew who the songwriter was, and no one knew who created the song. But it was precisely this mystery that aroused countless discussions and debates. They were filled with curiosity and special emotions about the song.
Zhao Fuyang is Xu Fan's best brother, best friend, and only manager. Since Xu Fan's debut, he has always helped Xu Fan handle all his problems, good or bad, all of which have been personally handled and resolved by Zhao Fuyang. Tonight, while Xu Fan was resting, Zhao Fuyang was not. Although he was resting at the same time as Xu Fan, he couldn't sleep because his mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts. He couldn't figure out many things, such as why Xu Fan suddenly wanted to find an venue with at least 20,000 people to sing a song, and even wear a mask. It was something he couldn't understand in his wildest dreams. His good brother was a real singer. If he sang with his face showing, if he sang the song under his own name, the song's popularity might be even greater than what was shown tonight. Of course, all his concerns were not about his good brother.
Or rather, he never worried about why his good brother would suddenly change like this. What hurt him the most was that this incident could have made Xu Fan more famous, but Xu Fan chose to disappear and wear a mask, choosing to keep the original author of the song a secret. This made him want to tell all the netizens countless times that the original author of the song simply liked it, but in the end, he held back.
He believes that the most important thing between good brothers is mutual recognition and trust, and even more importantly, support. He believes that everything Xu Fan does has its reasons, but he hopes that Xu Fan can truly trust him and believe in him in the future. He doesn't know about many issues, but for him, he hopes that the solutions to these issues are simple, pure, and do not increase any benefits.
Zhao Feiyang tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, but eventually he fell into a deep sleep. He clearly understood that as the night deepened, or even as early as four or five in the morning, everything in the world had quieted down. There were still countless comments about Xu Fan's new song online, but most people were beginning to ignore them. For most people, they had their own jobs, their own lives, and their own things to do. Creating a song was just a fleeting moment on the internet, like fireworks that would eventually disappear.
Countless people couldn't sleep that night. In fact, it wasn't just Xu Fang and Zhao Feiyang; there were many others, such as Xu Shan, a student who had agreed to make a movie with Xu Fan. As a new generation director, he was very happy to be able to collaborate with Xu Fan on a new film and television series. Or rather, he was very excited and felt that it was a special occasion for him.
For them, the best thing is to create a better movie or TV series. So when Xu Fan called to tell him that the funding had arrived, he was excited and had a hard time sleeping this month.
The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the first thing Xu Shan did was get up and open his eyes to see if the sky outside was still the same, because he decided that from today onwards, he and Xu Fan would begin planning the filming of a new movie and television series.
(End of this chapter)
===Chapter 965 Appointment Time===
Xu Fan and Xu Shan met again around 11 a.m. the next day.
Xu Fan handed the script she had prepared to Xu Shan. In fact, Xu Shan had seen the script before, because Xu Fan and her boyfriend had discussed the film extensively beforehand.
They discussed the film's plot, its story, and even explored some of the roles the film needed.
So when the two met, although they presented the script, their conversation was actually quite normal. This conversation mainly focused on the filming locations and scenes, which they needed to discuss. Zhao Feiyang, as the agent of the school, and Xu Shan, as Xu Shan's manager, acted as friends offering advice.
It was quite a lively scene for a while.
Zhao Fengyang, as Xu Fan's manager, spoke up: "To be honest, when I heard that your story was going to be made into a movie, I was very serious about it because I think this story is really beautiful, it's like a love story spanning ten miles and three lifetimes."
Such a simple sentence made Xu Fan and Xu Shan subconsciously look at Zhao Feiyang, then look at each other, and suddenly the student slapped his thigh and said, "This name is good, then let's call our movie this name."
Compared to Xu Shan's seriousness, Xu Fan's true intentions were completely different. What shocked him was that he suddenly felt the name sounded very nice and perfectly matched his story. Xu Shan, on the other hand, was serious because the original story was "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms," or rather, the movie itself was a script obtained from another Earth, a script called "Thirty-Three Lives, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms," which had been modified to some extent, even with significant changes to the story. However, when he presented this story, Zhao Feiyang subconsciously uttered these eight words, which immediately made Xu Fan wonder if Zhao Feiyang had actually seen the movie or something else, but at least the movie's name was decided at that moment.
For Xu Fan, neither the filming process nor the film's title is important. Whether it's called "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms: Three Lives Three Worlds" or "Three Lives Three Worlds: Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is irrelevant. What matters to him is whether the film can perfectly express the essence of the story, and whether each character's acting can reach its best.
The success of a film often depends on more than just the script. The script is merely a stepping stone; it can present the quality of the story. However, what truly determines whether a film is good or bad is the acting and the overall harmony between the actors and the story.
Xu Fan naturally agreed with the name Xu Shan had suddenly mentioned, or rather, the name "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" that Zhao Feiyang had suggested and Xu Shan had decided upon. This name truly suited the film, and he believed that the film's box office in this world would definitely surpass that of the other time. After all, for him, the film in this world wasn't just about his own changes, but more importantly, it was about the exceptional abilities of both Xu Shan and himself as directors. This wasn't about arrogance, but rather the confidence that comes with strong capabilities. They believed they could make the film exceptionally well, so naturally, they had few doubts or worries.
So at this moment, Xu Fan nodded and said to Xu Shanren, "I agree with your opinion. The name of the movie 'Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms' is indeed very good, and it also fits the general rhythm of the whole story. However, the TV series we adapt in the future must not use this name, because I hope that the TV series will be based on my name."
In short, Xu Fan wanted his TV series to share the same name, "Youth," not just because he liked the word, but more importantly, because he believed that the creation of an IP could never be achieved by a single product. Given that "Joy of Life" was already a massive online phenomenon, adapting it into a TV series would naturally generate widespread discussion and attention. In such a situation, even a good or bad TV series would become incredibly popular. Xu Fan was confident in the high quality of his project. At this point, Xu Fan was also considering whether, given the failure of the "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" movie, he could also release an online version of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms." The school decided to abandon the project after much deliberation, as it would be difficult for them to acquire another female-oriented novel. However, both "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and "Qing Yu Ling" are historical fictions set in alternate worlds, which puts immense pressure on the students and Xu Shan. "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is like a product, first appearing as a shadow to showcase the two authors' abilities in filming fantasy movies and TV series, and then laying the groundwork. In a sense, "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is a promotional or teasing trailer for "Joy of Life."
Xu Fan didn't think there was anything wrong with this approach; in fact, he believed that as long as he could make this TV series a success, he was more than capable.
To be precise, he believed that if the movie they were preparing to film before the TV series was well-made, then the movie he and Xu Shan would make in the future would be unparalleled. Moreover, he believed that as long as his script was good enough, even if he made changes and even if he and Xu Shan discussed it countless times to make the story more complex but also clearer, and the main plot of the story was very clear, he believed that the movie would definitely be a huge hit.
Xu Shan understood Xu Fan's desire, as he also hoped that the TV series they could film would be titled "Qinglian" (青莲). In a sense, naming the series "Qing Yu Nian" (庆余年) would seem like a way to capitalize on its popularity, given the immense success of the series. Almost everyone who enjoys reading, both online and offline, had heard of "Qing Yu Nian." Xu Fan's fans and readers of the author "Walking in the Room Dragon" (走走房间的龙) were eagerly anticipating this project. Everyone harbors a deep longing for future films and TV series, eagerly awaiting their release. Therefore, Xu Fan and Xu Shan's... Their thoughts were actually aligned. After hearing Xu Fan's words, Xu Shan thought about it seriously and said, "Of course, if you don't use the name 'Qing Yu Lian' in the future TV series, I will be angry. Because for me, or rather, in my opinion, if a movie and TV series can be successfully linked, that would be great. If we change the name of the TV series adaptation of 'Joy of Life,' it would be completely unnecessary. After all, 'Joy of Life' is now a huge hit. This shows that your excellence is truly amazing. I hope that we will have more and more collaborations in the future, and I also hope that our TV and movie production this time will be excellent and perfect."
The filming of a movie and a TV series are completely different. Generally speaking, the filming time for a movie is short, so it is very difficult to tell a story, including all the ups and downs, in a sufficient amount of time, even around two hours. TV series, on the other hand, tend to be more drawn out because the overall plot and clues are longer. You can divide it into dozens of episodes to tell a complete story, or you can use a few episodes to tell a small story, and then several small stories together become a big story. A TV series is more like a long novel, with countless small stories that make up a perfect big story. Movies, on the other hand, are like a very beautiful short film, simple and short, which can be watched quickly, but the content and thoughts in the story can make people subconsciously think about many things.
This time, Xu Fan and Xu Shan collaborated on a film that feels like a carefully crafted short story, a masterpiece born from meticulous thought and careful consideration. It's simple yet the story is so perfect. It's a condensed version of a fantasy historical time-travel story, and the love stories within it truly captivate everyone's attention and thoughts.
Xu Fan had never imagined how difficult this filming would be. He was confident that he would see it through to the end. At this point, the two of them had reached a fever pitch, basically throwing out all the details of the entire film, even going so far as to be blunt, discussing almost every single detail. Then, what they needed to consider was the entire filming process. Xu Fan, as the main director, and Xu Shan, as the assistant director, would do their utmost to create a better film together. They believed that they would encounter many, many problems on set, but they were confident that they could solve them. Only by solving these problems could they make a good enough film. The TV series was temporarily put aside, and the primary goal now was to complete the filming of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".
Xu Fan thought for a moment, considered the nearest time, and said to Xu Shan, "How about this, we'll set the filming time for three days from now. We'll start filming at the first location three days from now. What do you think?"
Xu Shan had no problem with the time arrangement at all. Since he decided to direct a new TV series with Xu Fan, and later a movie, he had already set aside all his party memberships. Now that they had decided to shoot a movie first, as a kind of trailer, and then shoot the TV series, he had plenty of time. So when Xu Fan said they would meet at the first filming location in three days, Xu Shan had no questions. He said, "No problem. Our first location is on the edge of the desert in Gansu Province, because we need certain scenery for filming there. I hope our filming will focus on real locations. I will go there in advance, which is tomorrow. I will go directly there tomorrow, and we will set up the set first. If you have time, you can come over too. Then we will officially start filming the day after tomorrow."
Xu Fan had no objection to Xu Shan going ahead of time, because he simply wanted to spend the next few days with his mother for her testing. Since Xu Shan was going ahead, he entrusted the task to him with confidence, believing that Xu Shan could complete all the pre-production work for the film in the coming days.
For example, the setup of the scenes, the lighting, and the overall camera setup. He believed that Xu Shan was very professional in these areas. Although he had the professional-level directing skills provided by the system deep in his mind, he clearly understood that what he provided was a subconscious way of thinking, while Xu Shan's expertise came from real experience. In fact, as a new generation director, his personal ability and the works he had directed were excellent. He believed that the film he was making would be very successful in the future. Therefore, entrusting these issues to Xu Shan was a very good choice. In fact, this was why Xu Fan chose to collaborate with Xu Shan on this film and television series.
He patted Xu Shan on the shoulder and said, "Since that's the case, Brother Xu, you should go there tomorrow to take care of the filming, set construction, lighting, and so on. You'll need to carefully consider all aspects of the project. The entire set construction will require your hard work."
Xu Shan had great faith in Xu Fan's directing abilities. He had always felt that although Xu Fan was young and even younger than himself, his abilities were truly remarkable. In fact, Xu Fan was his idol. Hearing Xu Fan say this, he naturally patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, you don't need to worry about the overall prospects of this shoot. I will go there in advance to prepare everything. As soon as you arrive, I believe we can start filming immediately."
After studying and thinking it over, he called over his good friend Zhao Feiyang and Xu Shan's agent and said to them, "Now that we've made the decision, we're going to start filming. So please try to gather all the actors we've booked by today or even tomorrow and tell them that we're about to start filming this movie."
Both Zhao Feiyang and Xu Shan's agent found the lesson to be quite accurate, and they nodded seriously in agreement.

===Chapter 966 New Mission===
Since it has been decided that the official filming of this movie will begin in two days.
So, before filming begins, the filming ceremony, simply put, is a gathering of all the actors, directors, lighting technicians, and cinematographers.
We will conduct further promotion, provide a special story explanation, and use this method to announce to the entire internet that the film has officially started shooting.
For Xu Fan, the official start of filming for this movie was a very normal thing, or rather, a matter of course. Ever since they decided to start filming this movie and TV series, they had made all the preparations. Including this moment, they had been discussing it for a very long time, and the story had been polished for a long time. It was time to start filming. Since it was decided that the students would go to set up the venue in two days, Xu Fan also needed to tell them some special things in the next two days, such as the plot of the movie, whether there would be any special events in the movie, and some of the most important things, such as the movie's theme songs.
