Get the perfect music system at the start

However, Han Zilu was actually quite nervous at that time because Pu Sihan was Xu Fan's girlfriend. It was difficult for her to do well as a musician under such circumstances. Pu Sihan's personal abilities were indeed very strong, and she had always performed perfectly in her work. Later, Xu Fan established the Star Foundation and transferred Pu Sihan there. This was a simple solution. It not only allowed Pu Sihan and Han Zilu to be separated, but more importantly, it also reduced the pressure on them. After leaving, Han Zilu's life was actually very strong because her personal abilities surpassed those of most women.

If it weren't for his personal abilities, he would never have been specifically invited to handle all the issues at Fanxing Pictures. Now that Xu Fan has relinquished some of his specific duties, the entire Fanxing Pictures will be under his leadership. Besides the films and television series that Xu Fan personally directs, Fanxing Pictures is still preparing other films and television series. These films and television series are all personally overseen by Han Zilu, and the directors and actors at Fanxing Pictures are all involved. Although they didn't invite Xu Fan to participate, and even if they had, he might not have actually participated, the quality and production level of their films are, in a sense, very high. Compared to many film companies in China, Xu Fan's Fanxing Pictures, under Han Zilu's leadership, is actually developing very well.

However, no matter how things develop, Han Zilu is ultimately just an employee, an ordinary worker. He wholeheartedly helps those who love doing this. Besides wanting to earn money and do his job well, he actually has some thoughts deep down. If it weren't for the fact that he once fell in love with someone he couldn't love, perhaps he would have some feelings for Xu Fan now. But he doesn't have those thoughts now. At least in his view, as long as he can do everything he can for Xu Fan, including handling all the company's problems, that is the greatest gratitude he can show Xu Fan.

Even now, he still can't forget the day he jumped off the building, when Xu Fan came to his side and encouraged him to live. If it weren't for that incident, he might not be alive today.

So for Han Zilu, Xu Fan was actually his savior. Helping his savior deal with this matter was very important. However, when he was thinking about certain things, he felt a little lonely, sad, and even helpless deep down. Of course, in this situation, what he needed to do was to keep blindly dealing with all the work-related problems, because only when he was busy could he stop thinking about these trivial matters.

He was also very busy today. After finishing the film planning with Xu Fan, he was dealing with the specific situation of the current film shooting of Fanxing Pictures. He needed to oversee the entire filming of those movies and TV series. More importantly, their Fanxing Remains had a variety show that was about to be officially launched. So, under these circumstances, Xu Fan had a lot to do, and Han Zi had even more to do, since he was now the real head of Fanxing Night. But just as he was busy, there was a knock on the door. He thought it was his secretary, so he simply called out, "Come in." However, the next second, a middle-aged man appeared out of thin air in front of him at the door.

If Pu Sihan were standing here, she would definitely recognize that the middle-aged man as the man who had appeared at her door before. That man had not left, but had returned to Han Zilu's side.

The man in Nami's body, still under my gaze, glanced at me a few times before asking directly, "Who are you? How did you get here?"

The middle-aged man's appearance startled Han Zilu. After all, this was the headquarters office of Fanxing Film Industry. As the head of Fanxing Film Industry, anyone wanting to meet him would receive a notification. Even if someone wanted to visit, they would register at the front desk and inquire about the availability of a meeting before coming to him. However, he had never received any calls or messages from the past ten years informing him that someone was looking for him. Yet, the man in front of him had appeared out of nowhere, and the feeling that he hadn't opened the door made him even more terrified. For a moment, he was extremely conflicted and instinctively wanted to pick up the phone to call security to ask what was going on. But at that moment, the middle-aged man smiled and looked at him, saying, "Actually, you don't need to be nervous at all. I'm Xu Fan's friend. You're absolutely right to think that way. So you should calm down and talk to me. Maybe you'll find it interesting?"

Han Zilu had originally intended to make a phone call, but upon hearing that it was Xu Fan's friend, she instinctively fell silent. Firstly, she clearly understood that the man before her knew Xu Fan and knew she was involved in a relationship, which explained his seemingly casual remark. However, she was curious why he wanted to talk to her, and why he was so certain she would be interested. At this moment, she suddenly quieted down. After all, as a successful career woman, she was outstanding in every way, so she didn't bother calling to inquire. Since he was already there, saying anything was pointless. Instead, she directly asked, "Although I don't know what your relationship with Xu Fan is, your sudden appearance here seems rather presumptuous. If there are any problems, you could have asked the receptionist, or at least have them inform me. It's proper etiquette to come here."

"Hahahahahaha..."

The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, looking at Han Zilu as if she were a silly girl. To him, these things were utterly unbelievable; someone actually wanted him to go through these so-called procedures. He shouldn't be an ordinary person; why should he follow the procedures of ordinary people? He just stared at her. Han Zilu spoke, "For me, appearing before you is already normal. I knocked before seeing you; that's the greatest respect and courtesy I can show. I hope you understand. You don't need to worry about my relationship with Xu Fan. I'm just going to say what I'm about to say, and I hope you'll think about it carefully."

After saying these words, the middle-aged man made no further move or statement. He simply reached out, and the documents on the distant table flew up and landed at the destination. The man in the south picked up the documents, glanced at their contents, and couldn't help but say, "I thought only Xu Fan was making movies and TV series by himself. I didn't expect your company to be producing movies and TV series internally. It seems you're making quite a bit of money these days."

With such a simple gesture, Han Zilu almost paled. He had never imagined that the documents on the table in front of him would suddenly vanish into thin air and end up in the hands of such an important man, a man among men. With a mere wave of his hand, the contract had flown into the hands of such a powerful man. How could this be? His spirits sank, and he felt that this whole thing was too strange. So he continued to ask, "Who are you? How did you do this? What is the point of you coming to me? I think if you don't tell me soon, I'm going to let you leave."

The neutral man wasn't angry. It seemed that Han Zilu's behavior was perfectly normal to him. So his gaze was calm. He just looked at Han Zilu, who really wanted to clarify many things. Or perhaps he was repeating what he had just said to Pu Sihan not long ago to the child. Or perhaps, for him, he only needed to ensure that his task for today was completed. His task was to tell the people around Xu Fan that Xu Fan was not an ordinary person, but a cultivator. I thought that after hearing these words, Han Zilu would be like Hannah Yao, somewhat helpless and shy. However, that was not the case at all. When Han Zilu heard the person in the middle suddenly say that Xu Fan was not an ordinary person, but a cultivator, he actually laughed.

Han Zilu did laugh, even laughed quite unrestrainedly, because in his opinion, this was utterly delusional, or rather, it was completely absurd that an ordinary person could possibly become a cultivator. Even though, in his view, Xu Fan's living environment and state were indeed somewhat abnormal, because Xu Fan had only debuted for a year, and in that year he had become famous throughout the entire internet, but his wife's works were real. You can't say that just because you can cultivate immortality and become a cultivator, you can write sufficiently outstanding musical works. In his opinion, Xu Fan was able to write such excellent works and make excellent films like "Dying to Survive" and "The Accident," is that something only a cultivator can do? In his opinion, Zhao Wen's approach was unrealistic.

Therefore, Han Zilu did not believe what the middle-aged man said. Even if she believed that the heavy man in front of her might be a so-called legendary martial artist or cultivator, she would not believe that Xu Fan was also a cultivator. That's why she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The middle-aged man was indeed extremely bad, because he never expected such a reaction after he raised these questions. When Pu Sihan heard the news, he was shocked and incredulous. However, what he did not expect was that Han Zilu was so calm and composed, even arrogant.

So at this moment, after a moment of silence, the man couldn't help but say, "You have to understand, how could an ordinary person grow into what he is now in just one year? Of course, you can choose not to believe it, but the result is that you may never have anything to do with him again in this lifetime."

===Chapter 976 A Group of People from the Future===

Yes, how could an ordinary person grow into a top singer in the entertainment industry in just one year?

It could even be said that he is not only a singer, but also an excellent film actor and director. He is adept at both film and television directing. More importantly, he is also an online author and a realist author who has won the Mao Dun Literature Prize. It is worth noting that Xu Fan seems to have integrated all his professions into one. If he were just an ordinary person, how could he have accomplished so many astonishing things in just one year? This must be the result of countless outstanding individuals coming together.

At this moment, Han Zilu was suddenly shocked because he suddenly remembered a poem written by Xu Fan. After all, Xu Fan was also a writer, so Xu Fan was not just a writer in essence. He had multiple identities, and each of his identities was basically at the pinnacle of a certain industry or direction. For example, his poetry has been recognized by countless scholars across the country. For example, his novels have won the Mao Dun Literature Prize. For example, his online novels have long become platinum-level works, becoming classics for countless readers. For example, his movies, "Dying to Survive" and "Master Ninja," were box office hits and were loved by countless people. For example, his TV series "In the Name of the People" also became a hit across the internet.

From the selection of film and television roles, to the decision of actors, to the direction of the entire script, the shooting settings and camera work, and even the editing, almost everything was done by Xu Fan. Could an ordinary person really produce such an excellent work? Han Zilu dared not think so, because if he were to seriously consider these things, they would be very difficult to accomplish, let alone for one person to develop them.

Countless people in this world strive and work tirelessly every day, hoping to develop their passions to a certain level. For example, someone who loves making movies hopes to create an excellent film, yet often fails to achieve it. Similarly, someone who loves writing poetry hopes their poems will be widely recognized, but this is rarely the case. Yet, Xu Fan has accomplished all of this, and with such ease and grace. In just one year, he has reached the pinnacle in different industries and directions. Faced with the words of this middle-aged man, one cannot help but believe them from the depths of one's heart.

But is that really the case? Han Zilu's inner hesitation was hard to explain. In his eyes, although the middle-aged man in front of him possessed great strength in his hands, and although the man seemed so powerful and extraordinary during their conversation, he was ultimately just an ordinary person. The man who had once helped him, brought him back from the brink of death, and given him this opportunity to work diligently at Fanxing Film Studio and create something of value for Xu Fan, now seemed to be separated from him by an insurmountable chasm.

The child clearly understood one thing: he knew there was no future between him and Xiao Pu, and that something special could happen. He knew Xu Fan liked Xiao Pu, and he knew Xiao Pu liked her student. But if what the middle-aged man said was true, it meant there was a significant distance between Xu Fan and Xiao Pu, a distance that love might not be able to bridge. Did he have any chance? Of course, in a sense, Han Zilu never considered the impact of this event. He only thought that if he could do something else to help Xu Fan, perhaps something better would be better. So, after thinking for a moment, he subconsciously asked the middle-aged man, "Is there a way for me to have a clearer understanding of Xu Fan's future, or is there any way for me to become more outstanding?"

The middle-aged man in front of the child took out a business card and handed it to him, saying softly, "Whether you choose me or I choose you, it is a mutual choice. I was able to choose you because I saw your future and your uniqueness. Now, whether you accept my treatment for you depends on yourself. If you have thought it through, you can call me anytime. The future world is definitely not as simple as you see it now, because this is no longer an ordinary time, and I come from the future."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned and left. Han Zilu saw clearly that the man vanished at the door. He didn't know if the man's appearance was a dream or a reality, but when he thought of the man's parting words, "I come from the future," his heart pounded. He never dreamed that the person standing before him was from the future. What kind of future was it? According to the middle-aged man, the world would no longer be simple, and everyone would undergo changes, no longer living an ordinary life. Did this mean that everyone in the world would become like immortals, or something else entirely?

The difference between Pu Sihan and Han Zilu is that when they heard about this, their first reaction was disbelief and skepticism. Pu Sihan wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Xu Fan, while Han Zilu wasn't particularly surprised. Instead, she was thinking about how she and Xu Fan should meet in the future. However, what they had in common was that almost everyone's thoughts were about whether they could help Xu Fan in the future, or what methods they could use to help him do better.

Watching the middle-aged man leave, Han Zilu sat in the empty, silent office. He felt a little nervous. He really wanted to call Xu Fan, but in the end, he put down his phone. He knew that Xu Fan was probably busy filming right now. He had read the script and the scene setups for the movie Xu Fan was going to shoot. He believed that Xu Fan would be very busy during this period, so he decided not to call and disturb him.

The release of Xu Fan's new movie is still being discussed online. A press conference was held to announce the film, and most people are discussing Xu Fan's choice of this new film and his acceptance of certain roles. They are wondering what kind of mindset he will have and what kind of situation he will present to the public in this movie.

For example, what kind of clashes will occur between the characters played by Yang Xiaomi and Leng Xiaogu? What kind of evaluation will their respective performances receive? Everyone has their own thoughts and opinions. Therefore, there is a great deal of discussion about this movie online. Everyone is thinking about the effect of the movie after its release, such as its performance and future box office results. There are also many film critics on the internet who are discussing the future plans for this movie.

The pterosaurs on the internet remain confined to the realm of movies, but no one, or rather, no one knows, that some people have suddenly appeared in this world. These people are different from most ordinary people. On the surface, they appear exactly like ordinary people—normal humans, normal appearances, normal men and women. But no one knows that they walk incredibly fast. When no one is around, they can disappear from one place to the next like fish being caught. They come and go freely because they possess special energy. Everyone is thinking about the future box office of the movie, but they don't know that the appearance of these people may change the entire world. No one knows where these people come from, where they came from, or anything else.

What is the reason for these mysterious and strange people appearing on this planet? They don't know what their purpose is, but these people do exist in this world, especially in another place, such as Gran Country, a country with good nutrition opposite China. Xu Fan had been there many times before, and it was there that he first witnessed the useless payment provided by the system. You know, there are countless unlucky people, but the only one Xu Fan had ever seen who could use unlucky to the extreme was that time in Gran Country. They clearly understood that place was different from others, especially since they knew that the Cobino Library was completely different from most places. More importantly, Xia Ziling died there.

Of course, Xu Fan was unaware of all this, because in his view, the most important thing at this moment was the filming of this movie. As an excellent director or a young director, since he and his student had decided to make such a movie, they would go all out to do a good job in the entire filming process. Whether it was the choice of shots or the lighting, they had to carefully consider the shooting situation of each scene. Although the two of them had divided the work, there were still some shots that required the two of them to work together to shoot, because whether it was the focus of the actors or the acting skills, they needed to explore and work together for a long time.

Therefore, Xu Fan was unaware of the sudden appearance of a special group of people in this world. However, he had a vague, uneasy feeling deep down. He sensed that everything in the world and he himself had changed slightly, and since becoming a cultivator, he had experienced certain, remarkably accurate, sensations. So, when he sensed danger approaching, he knew that the suppression the system had mentioned was imminent.

He will face everything with all his might, no matter what, because he believes that the final result will be good. Even if the future world is different from the present world, he believes that as long as he does his best, there will definitely be a good result that will appear before him.

The sense of oppression deep inside him was growing stronger, but he didn't think about it too much.

He was constantly and diligently adjusting the actors' performances, because he believed that as long as he and Xiulan gave it their all, the result would be excellent. As of now, almost every shot they filmed was perfect, with no major problems. Of course, even if there were problems, they would make corrections immediately. This time, most people got it right in one take, which shows that most of the actors were very capable and took their roles very seriously. They had already thought about and prepared in advance, so the performances were very comfortable and enjoyable.

The atmosphere on set was actually very lively. Everyone, including Xiao Zihan, Leng Xiaogu, and others, including Andy Lau, were there as actors. However, most of them got along very well with Xu Fan because he was an unpretentious person. He seemed like a nobody on set, making simple gestures, waving his megaphone, or doing other things to ensure that everyone could perform their roles well.

More importantly, whether it's a newcomer or a veteran, Xu Fan can always find subtle problems in the acting process. These subtle problems often determine whether a movie or a scene can be successful. Xu Fan truly did this. Throughout the entire filming process, Xu Fan was the busiest person. Every actor stood in their position and explained their lines. However, Xu Fan would always tell them all the problems that were exposed and find a feasible solution. Ultimately, this made more and more people admire Xu Fan.

It's not about identifying problems that makes a good director, but about finding solutions after identifying problems. That's what makes a good director, and it's clear that both Xu Fan and his colleague possess this talent, especially Xu Fan.

Xu Shan, as Xu Fan's mentor, has been busy filming recently. But every time he sees footage of Xu Fan filming, he can't help but get excited because he thinks Xu Fan is truly exceptional.

(End of this chapter)

===Chapter 977 Editing Begins===

Ye Hua, the Crown Prince of the Nine Heavens and Bai Qian's fiancé, is played by Xu Fan. After a period of filming, most of the main actors have officially wrapped up their scenes, while Xu Fan needs to take his role seriously. As a director, he is also an actor during the filming process, so this time he will also go all out to play the male lead well.

In a sense, it's only a small portion of the filming that has wrapped up; most of the cast still needs to cooperate with Xu Fan's filming schedule. Therefore, Xu Fan hasn't been officially filming for some time. Starting today, however, she will begin filming. Ye Hua is the most important person in this movie. He is not only the Crown Prince of the Nine Heavens but also Bai Qian's (played by Yang Xiaomi) fiancé. Three hundred years ago, Ye Hua and Bai Qian, in her mortal form as Su Su, were separated by a vast difference in their social status. After a period of separation and death, Ye Hua, now with Bai Qian's elevated status, is once again at peace. He is mature beyond his years, using his divine powers to silently dedicate himself to Bai Qian, enduring lightning strikes for love, hiding all his emotions deep in his heart, willing to sacrifice everything for her, even forgetting life and death. He and Bai Qian experience three lifetimes of love and hate, which is the most important aspect of this movie.

"Eternal Love" essentially tells the story of Ye Hua and Bai Qian's love across three lifetimes. Many characters in the film, such as Zheyan, played by Xu Shan, are also involved. Xu Shan serves as Xu Fan's mentor and the film's best executive director. He plays a character who retreats from the mortal realm, detached from worldly affairs. The true ancient god, Zheyan, is the master of the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest, a phoenix created during the primordial era. He is the teacher and guide who always steps forward to help or carefully guide Bai Qian in times of danger. Therefore, in a sense, the relationship between Bai Qian, Xu Fan, and Xu Shan is complex.

With feelings that are different from those of Xiong Ke, the Ghost Clan leader played by Andy Lau is the ultimate king of evil and madness, and also the most important enemy of Crown Prince Ye Hua of the Celestial Clan throughout his life. Seventy thousand years ago, he stirred up the war between the Eight Emperors and the Four Seas, and the Ghost Clan. Later, he was divided into ancient artifacts by the God of War Mo Yue and disappeared for tens of thousands of years in the Eastern Emperor. Seventy thousand years later, he broke out of the bell and was determined to learn from the heavens and the Celestial Clan. Crown Prince Ye Hua fought a great battle and wanted the people of the Eighth Town to be buried with him. This is the power of Qing Cang, played by Andy Lau. The same is true for the data played by Leng Xiaogu. Ye Hua does not only have Bai Qian. Although the female lead Su Jin is not the female lead, she is still a very outstanding woman.

The mistake of vertical shaft liquefaction is that it is necessary to find a pair of beautiful eyes and the crown prince. Ye Hua can be said to be his childhood sweetheart. He has been in love with the eldest grandson of the Heavenly Emperor since childhood. Ye Hua and Ye Qian have never been moved by each other. Simply put, the character played by Leng Xiaogu has a lot of love and unrequited love for the character played by Xu Fan. However, the character played by Xu Fan has no feelings for the character played by Leng Xiaogu. Therefore, Su Jin, played by Leng Xiaogu, began to be crazy in love, even to the point of love turning into hate. She tried to win back her love in a series of extreme ways. She repeatedly harmed her beloved, and even pursued Ye Hua and Bai Qian step by step, causing the two to experience love and hate torment for three lifetimes. And Xuan Nu, played by Xiao Zihan, is a cold and aloof ghost queen. Can she transform into someone else? On the surface, she claims to be very powerful.

However, deep down she is actually very fragile. In this respect, Xiao Zihan is very suitable for this role because, in a sense, Xiao Zihan's own personality is indeed like that. Leng Xiaogu also does have feelings for Xu Fan. So, in this situation, she has a lot in common with every character. Xuan Nu, played by Xiao Zihan, only shows her soft side when facing her child. She only wants to resurrect her dead child and goes crazy for it. She is even willing to fight against the gods of the Heavenly Clan and start the war between the Ghost Clan and the Heavenly Clan. You can imagine how crazy Xuan Nu, the character played by Xiao Zihan, is. You should know that she once smiled, or played a certain role in "Dying to Survive", or the role she played in "Construction". They are all similar to this.

In Xu Fan's film *Lost and Found*, Xiao Zihan plays a mother who has lost her child. Standing alone on a wall, she ultimately jumps. Watching the crowds pass by on the street, she misses her child, her deep remorse so tender. This scene clearly shows that Xiao Zihan is perfectly suited for the role of Xuan Nu. Throughout the filming process, Xu Fan, Xiao Zihan, Leng Xiaogu, and Yang Xiaoming all delivered outstanding performances, with almost every scene filmed in a single take.

This made Xu Fan and Xu Shan a little excited, because such a fast filming was very rare in the past. But since they were already going now, and the whole process was so fast, it was really good.

Xu Fan hopes everyone can maintain this state and continue. Most importantly, Xu Fan, Xu Shan, and several other actors have a lot of scenes together in the movie. There are indeed many scenes between these people during the filming of the movie. It has to be said that Xu Fan's performance was truly amazing. Even though Xu Fan plays Ye Hua, the protagonist, he has perfectly portrayed the entire movie.

It's important to understand that the "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" story that Xu Fan and Xu Shan discussed on this planet is very different from the "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" story on Earth. Or rather, the system only provided a rough script. It's like a book, and after Xu Fan and Xu Shan thought it over, they completely modified the world-building and time span involved in the original movie because the time span was very large. But the most important core is Bai Qian and Ye Hua's epic love across three lifetimes. This is what needs to be described in the entire movie. Therefore, after repeated consideration, Xu Fan and Xu Shan decided to focus on portraying the personalities of Bai Qian, Mo Yuan, and Ye Hua, while weakening or even cutting other subplots and characters, so as to make the love between the two characters pure and extreme.

Xu Fan and Shi Chang even treated Mo Yuan and Ye Hua as the same person during the adaptation. It was shown that Ye Hua sacrificed himself in the Wuwang Sea and Mo Yuan was awakened. This kind of pure human reincarnation setting is more in line with the setting of loving only one person from beginning to end in three lifetimes. On the basis of the story of sacrificing oneself, the film also buried a lot of details and foreshadowing. Bai Qian wrote in her heart, and the offering to Mo Yan was conveyed through the green vine of the ice melon. Su Su was pulled to the Shuangyuan, which was made into a symbolic treatment. Tiangong used zero gravity to design the table.

Xu Fan and Xu Shan put a lot of effort into adapting the film, especially during the entire filming process. Xu Fan's goal was to make the filming of the movie different from the rhythm of the original "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" on Earth.

Because all the actors' performances were excellent, and the film was highly praised by everyone, each actor had done detailed research before filming, especially becoming familiar with their roles. As a result, most of the scenes were filmed ahead of schedule. Although Xu Fan and Xu Shan did not officially participate in the filming initially, when they joined the cast, everyone realized that even though they were directors, they were still very talented.

In reality, both Xu Fan and Xu Shan delivered excellent performances. In a sense, both were already accomplished actors before becoming directors, especially Xu Shan, who transitioned from television acting to directing. Xu Fan, on the other hand, was more talented, as he was originally a singer. His transition from singing to directing and starring in a film truly demonstrates his unparalleled talent. Regardless, it proves that both Xu Fan and Xu Shan are excellent actors. With Xu Fan and Xu Shan joining the film later on, the entire production process went very smoothly, and the filming was almost completed in just twelve days and one afternoon.

Xu Fan and Xu Shan were incredibly excited because, for them, the entire story and structure of the film were now complete. Their next task was to focus on post-production. They had divided the work: Xu Fan would handle the editing, while Xu Shan would handle the filing and release of the film, such as contacting hospitals and scheduling meetings.

After some time of deliberation, Xu Fan and Xu Shan, who were now in late August or early September, had a general idea that the best time to release their films was during the National Day holiday. They aimed to capitalize on this opportunity, as the competition would be fiercer during the Spring Festival, a period many actors and directors aspired to have their films released. However, the Spring Festival was still a long way off, so Xu Fan and Xu Shan had given this much thought.

Few. After discussing it, Xu Fan and Shi Shan decided to focus on the main commercial time of the National Day holiday. Ultimately, the release date would depend on the approval of cinemas and the film filing bureau, because the specific release date would depend on the editing time of Xu Fan's video. Once the video was edited to completion, Xu Fan could have Xu Shan file and approve it.

Of course, Xu Shan wasn't idle throughout the entire process. It wasn't that Xu Fan was only involved in editing, nor was it that Xu Fan, as the person in charge of editing, had to do the editing himself. In fact, he didn't do the editing; all the editing was done by the staff. As an excellent editor, Xu Fan, although he wouldn't personally handle the post-production editing of the entire film after filming was completed, would definitely oversee all the staff. He hoped that this film would become an excellent film, so he believed he could do it; he just didn't trust others.

Throughout the post-production editing process, Xu Fan was constantly present, doing what he could on the editing set. For example, he would make modifications and adjustments to certain shots. After all, he was an excellent editor. However, Xu Fan clearly understood that after the film's initial production, he had no team or post-production editing room. Therefore, almost the entire process was completed by one person. Under these circumstances, Xu Fan hoped to create even better works in the coming period, and he also hoped that everyone on set would contribute. Editing is a skill, but Xu Fan clearly understood that after the film's initial production, he had no team or post-production editing room. Therefore, the entire editing process was almost entirely done by one person. Under these circumstances, Xu Fan hoped to create better works in the future, and he also hoped that everyone could find something special in the film, such as learning how to edit an excellent film and what details to pay attention to. Xu Fan didn't explicitly state this, but he was constantly working on it, hoping that most students could learn from it.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan and Xu Shan were working together, so Xu Shan was still busy running around looking for Xiong. His film might be released in the coming period, so he needed to find some people to ensure that his new movie would be released during the National Day holiday without any problems.

In fact, considering the relationship between Xu Fan and Xu Shan, Xu Fan should have been better positioned to handle this process and this particular project, given his connections with some influential figures. However, when the two were dividing the work, Xu Fan chose to have Xu Shan approach these individuals. This wasn't because Xu Shan was particularly capable, but rather because Xu Fan was more familiar with editing, especially given his previous experience editing "I Am Your Teacher," which, despite its seemingly simple nature, contained significant depth. Therefore, after discussing the matter with Xu Fan, they decided to proceed according to the normal procedures.

Xu Fan focused all his efforts on filming the subsequent actions of the movie, such as editing, while Xu Shan had a clear division of labor to search for and find the best results for the entire film.

(End of this chapter)

===Chapter 978 Are You Willing?===

Everyone has their own job. While Xu Fan and Xu Shan are working together, all the actors also have their own tasks. For example, before the movie is released, all the actors will take turns going to cinemas in various cities to do some promotion and publicity.

Of course, in reality, Xu Fan's film didn't really need this method. However, after discussing it, Xu Fan and Xu Shan decided to use this method to promote the film extensively. They believed that the filming time was much faster than they had expected, and the entire process was going smoothly. Therefore, increasing the promotion of the film would definitely be very effective.

Although, in a sense, Xu Fan and Xu Shan's collaboration on this film was actually for the purpose of adapting another novel, "Joy of Life," into a TV series, their efforts and directions in this film were aligned. While Xu Fan had this objective, the ultimate goal was still to achieve excellent box office results. After all, movies and TV series are completely different concepts. The main purpose of a TV series is to achieve high viewership ratings; for example, "In the Name of the People" achieved an unprecedented eight points. However, box office revenue is entirely different. Viewership ratings are based on revenue sharing with the TV station, while box office revenue is based on ticket sales and the total number of tickets sold.

In this situation, if Xu Fan and Xu Shan didn't have many ideas, they wouldn't need to consider these things. However, deep down, they both still hoped for a box office hit. After all, for two young directors, only a high box office can truly affirm their achievements, especially for Xu Shan. As a new director who transitioned from acting, he had directed many excellent films, but none of them had ever garnered widespread acclaim. However, this time, he was able to participate in Xu Fan's film, with Xu Fan serving as co-director. He believed that the film's quality and scale would be very high. Therefore, at this moment, he and Xu Fan shared the same thoughts.

Both of them hoped that the film would attract the attention of the majority of people and achieve a box office figure that many people could only dream of. On this point, Eighteen and Thirteen were very much in agreement.

The entire promotion process required two students. There were many things to do. For example, Xu Fan had to work with the editing team, editing each shot together bit by bit, turning all the scattered images and shots into complete scenes and storylines. This required Xu Fan's personal talent and experience in filming movies and TV series during this period. Of course, it also involved the close cooperation of the staff, because everyone was the most serious in the entire collaboration process and the most willing to see the movie achieve good results.

What Xu Fan could never have imagined was that during this period, while he was busy filming every single day, many of his friends learned that he was now a cultivator. For example, his girlfriend Pu Sihan, and Han Zilu, the current head of Defan Star Pictures, all of them deeply believed that Xu Fan was indeed that exceptionally talented young cultivator. They all firmly believed this because they had met a middle-aged man who had given them all his advice, as if that middle-aged man had brainwashed them. Similarly, they felt that Xu Fan was different from them. So, in a short period of time, while Xu Fanglang was busy filming the movie, Pu Sihan, Han Zilu, and even Chen Yuanyuan in the UK and Li Xiaoran in Chengdu, all received a simple verbal instruction from the middle-aged man. Xu Fan was unaware of the simple act of them becoming his disciples, but the whole thing had indeed happened. None of them discussed it or even called Xu Fan to inquire, because these people had one thing in common.

The common characteristic is that everyone harbors a deep affection for Xu Fan. These feelings may be hidden deep or not expressed at all. However, when the middle-aged man appears before them and eliminates this distance and gap, the outcome seems to become extremely obvious. Because the middle-aged man's answer to them, the choice he gives them, is actually only one: to become his disciple and embark on the path of cultivation. Only by becoming a cultivator can they catch up with a cultivator as gifted as Xu Fan.

This principle seems simple and easy to understand; in fact, it's not so simple. It's not that becoming a cultivator automatically makes you catch up with a gifted cultivator. After all, Xu Fan's personal abilities and cultivation talent have been recognized by everyone in this field. Or rather, those cultivators have all witnessed Xu Fan's terrifying power. Many people never imagined that an ordinary person like Xu Fan could suddenly transform into such a powerful cultivator. They hoped that Xu Fan would remain ordinary throughout the process, but that's not the case. Before, Xu Fan was just an ordinary poor child whose mother was seriously ill and had no money for treatment. Yet, at that moment, Xu Fan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and became incredibly powerful.

After participating in The Coming One, he became famous overnight, and the entire internet was abuzz. Everyone knew a person named Xu Fan, a young man named Ju Xin Bu Fan. He caused a sensation across the internet with his songs "Xiao Chou" and "Like Me," filling countless people with curiosity and admiration for Xu Fan, because he truly did something that was uniquely moving and inspiring.

For example, while Xu Fan was still filming the movie "The Thirty-Three Lives, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" in Gansu Province, Li Xiaoran was giving a lecture on the podium in Chengdu.

A year ago, Li Xiaoran had worked as a volunteer teacher in Ganshen. Later, he decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination and returned to his hometown. His parents were both highly educated, so it was only natural for him to take the postgraduate entrance examination. However, after a year, he was still on the path of taking the postgraduate entrance examination, but he also found a job at a private elementary school as a part-time teacher. So at this time, he was still teaching simple lessons to the children in the classroom. What he didn't know was that at this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared at the door.

If Pu Sihan and Han Zilu were to witness this scene at this moment, they would undoubtedly take it very seriously. They had seen the middle-aged man before and deeply believed his words, yet harbored many suspicions. Now, this mysterious middle-aged man had reappeared at Li Xiaoran's door. Even more strangely, unlike before when he would knock and enter, this time he stood motionless at the classroom door, calmly watching Li Xiaoran teach inside. Li Xiaoran, completely oblivious, didn't notice the man standing there. Perhaps she was too focused on her lesson, or perhaps the man, though seemingly standing there, actually appeared quite far away.

No one saw or even noticed the middle-aged man suddenly appearing at the classroom door. So, without giving it any thought, Li Xiaoran continued interacting with the children, discussing simple concepts until the 45-minute lesson finally ended. As she prepared to leave the podium, listening to the children reminisce about their teacher's words, she simply said, "Goodbye, students, but welcome back." Just as her gaze drifted towards the door, she noticed a middle-aged man standing there. He looked very ordinary, like any other middle-aged man. Li Xiaoran walked to the door and instinctively asked, "Hello, which student's parent are you? Would you like me to call them out?"

Under normal circumstances, parents of children in private elementary schools do not come to see their children during the week. Even if a parent wants to see their child, they usually intercept them outside the school, report the incident, and the school administration will call the substitute teacher to make sure the child is in class before they can have a face-to-face conversation. However, what surprised Li Xiaoran was that this middle-aged man suddenly appeared at the door of her classroom.

Of course, he didn't immediately realize this thought. So when he saw the middle-aged man appear, his first reaction was that he was the father of one of the children in the classroom, perhaps the middle-aged man in front of him. It was because of this thought that he asked, "Excuse me, which student's parent are you?" The middle-aged man's gaze was calm, and when he looked at Li Xiaoran, he couldn't tell what special emotions he had. But after hearing Li Xiaoran's question, he still smiled and said, "I don't have any children studying here. I came here to find you."

"Find me?"

"Yes, I'm looking for you. I'm Xu Fan's friend. I've come to see you today because I have something I want to tell you."

Upon hearing the man's words, Li Xiaoran was slightly taken aback. In a sense, the relationship between her and Xu Fan was hard to define. It wasn't romantic love; rather, it was a pure friendship. This feeling was difficult to explain because Xu Fan never allowed anyone else to come to him.

Because his relationship with Xu Fan was more of a cultural and intellectual fusion, they shared a similar passion for disaster relief, children, and literature. This allowed them to communicate and understand each other more. However, neither of them considered taking things further, especially after he learned of Xu Fan's other aspirations. He simply wanted to focus on teaching, pursue postgraduate studies, and become a teacher. He saw it as his greatest honor to be a dedicated educator, helping the next generation grow and improve their lives. Therefore, they rarely maintained regular contact; Xu Fan seldom called him, and he rarely called her either. Their relationship was never characterized by any particular arrangement, which was quite unusual.

The usually calm Li Xiaoran felt a slight unease deep inside. This thought swirled in his mind, but he made no move to react. Instead, he calmly looked at the middle-aged man and asked seriously, "You said you're Xu Fan's friend. I know almost all of Xu Fan's friends. What's your name?"

The first thing Li Xiaoran asked the man was his name, which surprised the middle-aged man slightly. Neither Pu Sihan nor Han Zilu had asked him this before. He was used to the process proceeding according to his own plan, but Li Xiaoran had suddenly disrupted his rhythm. However, this didn't affect his determination to achieve his goal today. He simply said in a deep voice, "You don't need to know my name, but I think you'd be happy to meet me. Or rather, we can find a place to sit down and talk about the specifics. I can't go into the details of our relationship, but I came to see you this time entirely because of him."

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Li Xiaoran felt even more uneasy, because he felt there was a special emotion and feeling in those words. He was conflicted, but it seemed that he had no other choice. The children, because get out of class was over, rushed out of the classroom. Every child was excellent during the school year. In this class, he watched the teacher chatting with a middle-aged man, and he didn't forget to greet the children. The children, of course, kept saying hello to the teacher or goodbye to the teacher. Soon the children ran out of the classroom.

Only after all the children had run away and left the teacher's room did Li Xiaoran and the middle-aged man suddenly quiet down and look at each other. At this moment, although she was calm inside, she knew very well that the relationship between the middle-aged man and Xu Fan was definitely not just a simple friendship. But she couldn't say for sure what kind of feelings they had. After watching the children leave, the middle-aged man also revealed a wicked smile.

At that moment, he looked at Li Xiaoran without reservation and said, "There is an opportunity for you and Xu Fan to take things further. Are you willing?"
