Get the perfect music system at the start

However, putting all that aside, everyone who is discussing this film wants or is looking forward to its official release. Time is running out, but everyone hopes that after this period of suppression, they can finally see the film.

So soon, various online ticketing websites displayed "want to watch" buttons, and many netizens clicked them.

===Chapter 983 Collaborative Live Stream===

The promotional team for the movie "Once Upon a Time" – Xuefa and Shushang – along with a group of actors, made different choices in various cities. This time, they decided on Zhonghai, not only for the largest promotional campaign but also for a movie event.

They believed that such a preview screening would inevitably cause an uproar and discussion across the internet, because they believed that the quality of the film would definitely be to the point that everyone would like it. At least, it could be said that a large number of people would like such a film, whether it was the subject matter, the content, or even the plot and the entire process of the film. However, before that, Xu Fan needed to do the publicity first.

The promotional materials, including fantasy-themed photos and posters, were already in place for pre-release publicity. Promotion of actors Xu Fan and Xu Shan, along with Xiao Zihan and others, began on various websites. Following Xu Fan's instructions, a second large-scale online campaign was launched, with everyone posting large posters of the film on their Weibo accounts, along with approximate release dates. Therefore, once the news was confirmed, the internet was abuzz with discussion. Everyone was speculating whether the film's box office performance would be phenomenal. No one knew the film's future success, but everyone guessed it would be unlike any other film. There were many films released by the Communist Party of China, but everyone believed in this one.

Perhaps it can break through the competition like a dark horse and become the top-grossing film. Everyone knows that Xu Fan's personal ability already guarantees the film won't be bad. Add to that Xu Shan's personal charisma and director Jing Shi's style, and the film is bound to be perfect. With just these two as a foundation, plus the enthusiastic participation of Liu Tianwang, Leng Xiaogu, Xiao Zihan, Yang Xiaomi, and other actors, the film's box office success is practically guaranteed. At least based on current results, the film is experiencing overwhelming growth; no one can compete with it. No other film will dare to challenge it during the National Day holiday. In fact, a great film withdrew from its release schedule upon hearing that Xu Fan's film was slated for the National Day holiday. This withdrawal means that the film didn't officially release during the National Day period but instead chose a later date. This means the film missed its prime release window, as it had already conducted extensive promotion and publicity. However, there was no other way. The release of Xu Fan's film meant that his personal fans would all go to support him, and even just simple support would guarantee a massive box office victory. In this situation, many people are not so much looking forward to the box office as they are expecting a huge boost. The real question is what the film's actual quality will be like. No one is without worry about the outcome, and no one is without prayers that it will turn out better.

No one knows the final box office result, so at this point, Xu Fan, Xu Shan, and the others are simply producing the film. However, during this production process, the number of people who want to see the movie naturally increases. The demand of 30,000 people to see Xu Fan's film was met in just a few hours of promotion. This means that the system will not only reward them with a new song, but more importantly, they can also use it themselves. At this moment, Xu Fan's first thought is to obtain more songs, that is, more theme songs. Xu Fan communicates with the system, and his mind is constantly thinking. He sits in his room, looking at the blue light screen in front of him. The screen displays some special text, all of which are results from the system.

"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission! You have obtained the theme song, 'Eternal Love,' with its high-quality sound. If you wish to obtain more songs, you can choose to further increase promotional efforts for the entire film to ensure its wider acceptance. If the number of people expressing interest reaches 100,000, you will receive an additional new theme song; if it reaches 500,000, you will receive yet another new theme song. Please work hard and keep up the good work!"

The system's voice was simple, and the text displayed on the blue light screen was also simple. Each light revealed that the text was telling Xu Fan that this matter was not as simple as he had imagined. He clearly understood that completing the task and obtaining the theme song was very difficult. Although he had only spent a few hours to reach the minimum of 30,000 "likes," the number of people who wanted to see a movie often did not depend on much, especially before the movie was released. Therefore, 100,000 "likes" was actually a very high number. At this point, Xu Fan had given up all hope. He had completely ignored the idea of ​​getting three songs, because in his view, he only needed to reach 100,000 "likes" to get the second theme song, which would already be a great help to him. So what he needed to do now was to use various methods.

Then, through this method of extensive promotion, only by continuously promoting can different benefits and effects be obtained. Therefore, Xu Fan believed that with his continuous promotion, he would definitely be able to attract at least 100,000 viewers. And 100,000 viewers meant that he could get another theme song, which could be used in the entire movie. Moreover, Xu Fan was thinking that in the next period of time, he would also be filming a fantasy TV series. This TV series was based on the movie "Qingyu Nian". At this time, Xu Fan was thinking that before this, "Thirty-Three Lives, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" was, in a sense, a kind of early promotional video for the movie "Joy of Life". Although the story was completely different, sometimes the plot, including the overall story structure and art style, could be carefully coordinated.

It's important to understand that filming a movie is never a simple matter of shooting. It's not just about a director taking a few cinematographers and actors to a location and filming briefly. It requires careful consideration of each character, the visual elements needed for each role, and the emotional and plot implications of each scene. Under these circumstances, Xu Fan clearly understood that the film's production quality was excellent. Therefore, promotion naturally required everyone's participation. The number of people who wanted to participate kept increasing, but there was still a thousand yuan to go before reaching 104,000. "This is my habit," he said, "I've come up with a great idea, or rather, this idea wasn't entirely his own, but everyone knew, or rather, everyone was very clear." When Xu Fan wanted to get more information, his first choice was live streaming. After communicating with Xu Shan, Xu Fan decided to start with a catchy theme song for the online live stream.

It's worth noting that the song "Liang Liang" has already caused a sensation online recently. Many people love it. When Xu Fan first sang it a long time ago, there were countless discussions online. Everyone has this song in their heart and subconsciously likes it. As the theme song for the movie "Once Upon a Time," it means that the movie will be heavily promoted with this song. If Xu Fan sings this song in advance through his live stream, it will definitely cause another sensation online. Moreover, it's important to know that this time, Shi Fang is not only going to sing it himself, but he has also decided to find a female partner to sing "Liang Liang" with. And clearly, Xiao Zihan is the best partner.

However, deep down, Xu Fan was actually quite nervous throughout the entire process. His promotional activities and work hadn't stopped, but the disappearance of Pu Sihan, Li Xiaoran, Han Zilu, and others was a persistent thought in his mind. Although Zhao Feiyang and others speculated that they were all safe, especially based on An Lanyue's answer, it seemed that while the others might not be there anymore, perhaps they had gone elsewhere, they were at least safe. If it weren't for An Lanyue's recent injections, which forced him to give up a lot, he would have been even more anxious during this time. He greatly admired An Lanyue's care for him. The comforting gesture did have an effect, which is why he tried his best to balance his inner feelings and hoped that the movie he was making would achieve better results. Therefore, its promotion was crucial, and he went all out for the live broadcast. Moreover, according to Xu Fan's own plan, if he only sang an old song during the live broadcast, he might really be doomed. After all, not just anyone can sing this song. Although he wrote the song himself, what makes it unique is that it comes from another world, only that no one in this world knows it.

Xu Fan contacted Xiao Zihan immediately and communicated with her. Xiao Zihan agreed without hesitation because she had heard the song "Liang Liang" before and liked it very much. She was naturally willing to sing it with Xu Fan again.

The live stream was again scheduled for the evening, as Xu Fan's previous live streams were almost always at 8 PM. After discussions, this time was also chosen at 8 PM, a time he's become accustomed to, and his fans are also used to tuning in at 8 PM. It's become a habit between him and his fans. Therefore, this time slot was naturally chosen. Zhao Feiyang, Xu Fan's manager, has been very busy lately, especially with deciding on the live stream. He naturally needs to handle all the issues, including communication with Douyin's live stream platform. After all, Xu Fan's live stream was for a promotional event, so the publicity needed to be effective. Therefore, when this situation arose between Xu Fan and Douyin, Douyin staff naturally asked Xu Fan to communicate with them. Zhao Feiyang became the key communicator. Not long after, Zhao Feiyang and Douyin reached an agreement. The cooperation plan was satisfactory to both parties. Xu Fan would once again be a guest on Douyin's live stream, and the fees generated from the live stream would be collected or paid as usual. Crucially, this live stream would not involve selling any goods; simply put, it would be a singing session. However, the purpose of the singing was to promote his new movie. For Douyin, promoting a new movie on the platform is a way to gain more traffic. Therefore, they were very excited about Xu Fan's approach, as they knew he was not only one of Douyin's best clients but also one of their most successful collaborators. Thus, Douyin staff and many of its managers had no objections to Xu Fan's promotional live stream. When 8 PM arrived, Xu Fan, arranged by Zhao Feiyang, had already opened his live stream room, waiting for fans to enter.

The moment Xu Fan started his live stream on Douyin, countless people instantly flooded the live stream room for the first time. The live stream experienced a brief period of buffering, taking about four or five seconds to recover. This was only because Douyin officials knew in advance that Xu Fan was going to stream and had specially prepared staff to ensure the stability of the live stream. Their normal workday ends at 5:02 PM, and they were concerned about network and backend issues, hence the overtime work. In fact, their overtime proved worthwhile, as the interaction from viewers and various network conditions after Xu Fan started his live stream did indeed cause the buffering and affected the entire network. Regardless...

The live stream started smoothly. Both Xifan and Xiao Zihan were already in complete control when facing the camera. After all, Xu Fan, as a professional live streamer, had done countless live streams like this. As for Xiao Zihan, before this, he had only ever called himself "brother." As a singer, it is normal to sing occasionally when faced with requests from his fans.

Of course, this was the first time he had sung a duet with Xu Fan in Xu Fan's live stream, so in a sense, he was actually a little nervous.

===Chapter 984 Another Song of Cool Down===

Xu Fan sang "Liang Liang" before, and he really liked it back then, so he was very serious when he sang it. This is his second time performing it, or rather, his first time performing it on a live stream.

Xiao Zihan had actually sung this song before, especially when Xu Fan's version came out, he really liked it, so he was very familiar with it. Now that he had decided to use this song as the theme song for the movie "Once Upon a Time" with Xu Fan, he would definitely do his best to make the song fit the movie perfectly. You know, a song, or a movie, often depends not only on the lyrics and the song itself, but more importantly on its fit with the movie. In short, Xu Fan made slight changes to this song. If it were just a simple adaptation or a song that was restored to its original state, it would be no challenge for a singer like Xu Fan.

Therefore, in this situation, Xu Fan wanted to make the song and the movie more compatible, so the first thing to do was to make slight changes. Whether it was changes in the melody or changes in the instruments used in the arrangement, these changes could make the song unique and completely different from the past. Xiao Zihan really liked the song "Liang Liang," so before she and Xu Fan started singing, she had already done a lot of research and practice. Although she was once a real singer and one of the most popular first-tier singers on the internet, she still studied very hard for a long time before singing this song. At this moment, the live broadcast will be switched to the second skill. All the netizens who pass by or suddenly see the news will see Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan's live broadcast.

When Mr. saw the live stream notification, everyone instinctively rushed into the live stream room. Of course, more importantly, Douyin (TikTok) also heavily promoted Xu Fan's new movie. Even before the movie was announced, Douyin had already partnered with the group. Simply put, winning this battle would provide advance publicity and hype for Xu Fan's entire live stream. So, when Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan entered the live stream room, the number of people in the room was already countless. The hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream room proved that this live stream of Xu Fan's was definitely different from his previous live streams. It was not just a high-quality live stream that Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan used to promote their new movie "Once Upon a Time" (Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms). In the past, every live stream of Xu Fan's was actually for releasing new songs.

The song Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan sang tonight wasn't a new song, but an old one. So, under these circumstances, Xu Fan didn't have any inherent advantages in singing. Therefore, most of the audience wasn't there to hear a cover song or because they already knew and liked it. They probably wouldn't be singing a new song tonight. So, the most important thing now is how to adapt the top-rated song called "Liang Liang" to fit into the movie. As a result, as more and more people joined the live stream, more and more mobile voices joined in.

"I remember really liking this song when I first heard it. I never imagined it would become the theme song for Brother Fan's next movie. This makes me even more curious about what kind of movie it will be. I'm really looking forward to its release and hope it will do very well at the box office."

"It's truly an exciting thing, because I had never heard the song 'Liang Liang' before, yet it has managed to attract the attention of all netizens, which proves that this song is unique. So I hope this song can make us better, and I also hope that each of us can listen to it with deep feeling."

"I think I'm excited at this moment because tonight's Fange will be singing an old song. I've heard this old song more than once, and I used to like it very much. I especially liked to use the title of this song to say something special, like 'This matter is cool.'"

"This is truly an interesting scene. I must say, this shot and this result are indeed very interesting. Deep down, everyone feels the same. At this moment, I believe that Brother Fan and Sister Xiao Zihan will definitely bring us a great song. Brother Fan, it's been a long time. I hope your song and your voice tonight will be as beautiful as ever."

"I believe in Brother Fan. I believe every song of Brother Fan's will be great. Even when I heard this song before, I felt that since Brother Fan now wants to use this song in a movie, there will definitely be some minor changes or modifications. Although the changes won't be too big, I believe it will definitely be more interesting."

The netizens in the live stream were constantly discussing, each expressing their own thoughts and opinions. Everyone's inner thoughts and online opinions were different. After all, Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan's performance was something everyone had been looking forward to. Everyone knew that they liked this performance by Xiao Zihan, mainly because they wanted to make "Liang Liang" the theme song for the movie "Thirty-Three Lives, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms." In fact, the number of people who wanted to see "Thirty-Three Lives, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" was already steadily increasing, meaning that even though the movie hadn't been officially released or started pre-sales, the current number of people who wanted to see it already proved that the movie's prospects were definitely extraordinary. There was a flood of information online, with everyone having their own thoughts and expressing their anticipation for the song.

So when Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan sat in the live stream room, the entire audience's attention was focused on Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan in the camera, and various strict questions were raised. At this moment, Xu Fan greeted the camera and said, "Good evening everyone, long time no see. Tonight, Xiao Zihan and I will be performing an old song for you, 'Liang Liang.' We hope you will enjoy it. I would also like to tell you that this song will be used in our upcoming movie. Filming has finished, and the scheduled release date is this year's National Day. We hope you will support us then, and we hope that you can learn about part of the story through this song. More importantly, we believe that this song will definitely draw you into a unique and memorable story."

Xiao Zihan didn't speak. This time, he was only responsible for singing with Xu Fan, so only Xu Fan was talking during this lesson. When Xu Fan doubted Luo Ba, many people in the live broadcast room were discussing their own thoughts. Everyone had their own true thoughts deep down, so at this moment, there were countless discussions, one after another, lasting for a long time.

As the messages in the live stream gradually subsided, Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan paused for a second before starting to play music. The moment the music went live, several staff members around the scene, including Zhao Feiyang, stopped. They all knew that the first theme song of the movie, "Liang Liang," was about to be released. Although the song had been sung many times before, the difference was that it had been adapted. Therefore, this song was completely different from other songs. "Liang Liang" had even been performed before, or rather, it was now in the past. However, Xu Fan still chose this song as the theme song, which meant that the song was truly worthwhile.

The lyrics of "Liang Liang" remain unchanged after the adaptation, but the overall feeling of the song is completely different. This is because in Xu Fan's memory, this song represents another world, the "Thirty-Three Lives, Ten Miles" lyrics, which are tailor-made for the movie and TV series.

So when everyone was looking forward to this song, the sound finally came from the live broadcast room. As a true diva, Xiao Zihan's strength as a female singer is very strong, and her voice is also very unique. So when her voice came on stage, the live broadcast room instantly...

……

As night falls and the air grows cooler, fallen petals turn to frost. You gaze into the distance, your eyes strained with longing, yet all eyes, without thought, find it hard to forget.

……

Xiao Zihan's voice is indeed much more pleasant to listen to, as she has always made a living in the entertainment industry as a singer. However, recently, she took on a role in Xu Fan's first film, *Lost and Found*. Since then, Xiao Zihan has successfully transitioned from a singer to a professional film actor. Her talent is exceptional, and in every film she stars in, she consistently meets the required standards in terms of character psychology and physical action. Therefore, Xiao Zihan is indeed very suitable for film acting. However, this cannot negate her personal ability and strength. It's important to know that Xiao Zihan's singing ability and talent are extremely high. So, as night falls and the air grows cool, the fallen flowers turn to frost.

As he sang these simple lyrics, the viewers in the live stream were instantly thrilled. Everyone knew Xiao Zihan was about to sing, and this feeling excited them immensely. In the past, every song Xiao Zihan had sung was either written for her by Xu Fan or written by Xiao Zihan herself, but none of them were as different as this one. As soon as Xiao Zihan's voice fell, Xu Fan's voice also slowly came through. Everyone heard a male voice deep in their hearts, so at that moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan.

……

The peach blossoms are cool in the distance, how could you have left this vast sea of ​​hearts in your past life? You pretend to be indifferent, not forcing anything, it's all an illusion.

……

In another world, according to Xu Fan's deepest knowledge, "Liangliang" was originally the theme song for "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms," and it had won many awards, such as the theme song award. Therefore, Xu Fan was very clear about the compatibility between this song and the movie "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms." Xu Fan not only made changes to the movie but also roughly altered the lyrics, as the song was quite different from its original version. However, putting that aside, in terms of the song's quality, it was very similar to the plot of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms." For example, the line "Quan is your subordinate, Hai Xi is busy," and the seemingly indifferent and unforced act, reveals that everything was a facade.

The lyrics told the whole story to everyone in the simplest and most straightforward way. Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan sang the song back and forth in the live broadcast room, their voices were extremely beautiful. And most importantly, when Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan started singing this song, the sound of the pterosaur in the live broadcast room gradually became less bloody. Whatever the reason, at least at this moment, everyone in the live broadcast room was on the first floor, relatively less.

For him, nothing else mattered; his ultimate goal was simply to improve the song and then use it to promote the movie. Currently, the song's appeal was evident in the live stream, with viewers expressing their opinions. Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan, however, didn't have time to pay attention to these opinions, as they had many other things to do. Regardless of the reason, Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan were extremely focused and serious while singing. For them, singing the song well could potentially attract more people to like it. As for the movie, this song was ultimately just the theme song for the film "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms," meaning the song's release and the movie's soundtrack were completely different. But one thing was certain: the song was indeed unique, especially given the immediate buzz surrounding its release.

For Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang at this moment, although there were indeed many more comments, they no longer seemed so important to them. However, regardless of whether they were important or not, they still tried their best to sing the song well, and at this moment, Xiao Zihan's voice slowly continued to come.

……

The cool night air is filled with longing for you; the river of thoughts turns into spring mud to protect me.

===Chapter 985 Live Stream Continues===

The quality of a film is never solely determined by the actors' performances. Rather, it requires a comprehensive consideration of various factors, such as the film's production costs, the equipment used in its production, the actors' performances, the director's skill level, and even the choice of locations and camera angles. All of these factors can influence the quality of a film.

Of course, there are even more important factors, such as the entire editing process of the film and the order in which the clips are edited, which may affect the quality of the film. After all, each person has their own ideas, and the resulting edited works will be different. Therefore, a good film can never be determined by looking at just one aspect. Of course, the theme song of the film is obviously also very important.

For example, the theme song of this movie is supposed to be a rather sad song, but a celebratory song was played instead. This is obviously very incongruous. So, in a truly good movie, the theme song, whether it's the opening or closing theme, will perfectly match the movie. So, Xu Fan's first theme song, "Liang Liang," was originally a song he sang before, and it was also a song from a previous movie. But Xu Fan still brought this song back to the live performance. The most important reason is that he felt that this song was very suitable for the movie "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms." Moreover, the overall atmosphere and story structure of the movie are very similar to this song. "Three Lives Three Worlds" and "Liang Liang" are indeed very similar. Since they are similar, it naturally means that this song is very suitable as the theme song for this movie.

In this situation, both Xu Fan and others believed that the combination of the movie and the song would attract more recognition and support. Therefore, no matter what problems or events occurred, they could make the song even better and could also help the movie's box office reach new heights.

At that moment, when Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan began singing this song in the live broadcast room, several other staff members around the scene, such as Leng Xiaogu, were also standing there. Listening to Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan's first performance of this song, it has to be said that Xiao Zihan's singing and the singing of Class 10 were both so perfect. Everyone's voice was so beautiful. So at this moment, when the two of them sang this song together, the feeling that came out of the song really made people subconsciously feel that this song was a very beautiful song, and it also fit the story very well. Especially since everyone had participated in the entire film, every scene and every plot point was basically deep in their minds. When they heard this song being sung, they naturally felt that this song matched certain scenes in the movie very well. At the same time, the audience in the live broadcast room also expressed all sorts of thoughts about this song. For them, being able to hear Xu Fan's new song was a very happy thing in itself, even though this song was an old song of Xu Fan's.

This time, Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan made only slight changes, but regardless, the song is completely different from the previous one. From the singers and the tone to the arrangement, even the choice of Yue Qi has changed. It has to be said that this cool song now has a more ethereal, fantasy feel, especially the slight sadness, truly evoking the beauty of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms." Meanwhile, in the live stream, many viewers subconsciously compared the song to the previous one. After all, they are two songs, just different in some ways. The previous song was the theme song for another movie, while this one is the theme song for Xu Fan's new film. No one knows what the future holds for "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms," and currently, this song is only used to promote the movie. So, the song naturally played its role. When Xiao Zihan sang earnestly, the audience in the live stream was already buzzing, with everyone expressing their opinions.

Everyone was marveling at how beautiful the song was. It's undeniable that Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan delivered a flawless performance. Each singer was incredibly dedicated, especially Xiao Zihan, Xu Fan's good friend. Although they're older and their relationship isn't strictly romantic, they're like siblings. So when Xu Fan invited him to participate in the film, he was thrilled. Especially when Xu Fan decided to collaborate on the song, he felt even more confident, believing he could sing it well. He poured his heart and soul into the performance, constantly studying and experimenting before the live stream to find the perfect way to sing it. This moment, he felt, was the best he could achieve. The online chat was buzzing with discussion, not only among Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan.

Everyone else could see all sorts of messages from the live stream, because at that moment Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan were focused on singing and didn't have time to pay attention to the comments in the live stream. However, everyone else could see it clearly.

"This is truly exciting. Before this, the song 'Liang Liang' that I heard evoked a sense of inexplicable sadness. However, this song feels different. Although Fan Ge and Xiao Zihan made changes, and the revised music was released offline, the ethereal and dreamlike emotions of three lifetimes are expressed so vividly in this song. I am truly impressed."

"I am filled with countless emotions, because although I know this song is a cover and an adaptation, I am even more certain that it is truly beautiful, and Xiao Zihan's voice and Xu Fan's voice are perfectly blended together, making it truly enviable."

We must acknowledge the song's unique quality at this moment, because it's exquisitely beautiful, truly resonating deep within my heart. I felt a sense of ethereal beauty, as if I could sense the joys and sorrows of three lifetimes, as if I could feel a story, imbued with longing and memories tinged with helplessness—how utterly perplexing!

"I haven't seen the movie yet, or more accurately, the movie hasn't been officially released yet, but just listening to this song right now, just hearing Fan Ge and Xiao Zihan sing it this time, I can feel how special this song is. I hope Fan Ge can continue like this, and that the movie will be released soon. I will definitely go see the movie as soon as possible, because it is indeed much better than I imagined."

"Yes, I never dreamed this song would be so good. I'm really a little envious. I have to admit I'm completely captivated by it right now. I hope Fan Ge keeps singing it and it keeps playing so well, it's just so good!"

For Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan, they never imagined that their simple singing would spark such a buzz online. The song's sudden popularity also quickly brought their own music video to the top of Weibo's trending topics. Everyone knew the purpose of playing the song was to promote their new movie, "Eternal Love," a perfect match for the film. The song's release garnered even more recognition for the movie ahead of schedule. Meanwhile, Xiao Zihan, Zhao Feiyang, and others brought Xu Fan news: after the song's release, the planned 30-minute playlist for "Eternal Love" was suddenly opened. However, to everyone's surprise, the playlist sold out instantly, even at slightly higher prices. The first, second, and third rows, as well as the corner seats, were practically all sold out.

Xu Fan even considered whether the film could be released earlier or if some other actions could be taken, such as further stimulating the emotions. However, they all knew this was unrealistic, because a preview screening is ultimately just that—a preview screening. It's impossible to hold a screening at home, and even if there were more screenings, it couldn't be too many in Zhonghai. There could only be one screening in Zhonghai. Of course, Xu Fan didn't think too much about this under the circumstances. He just hoped that through this song performance and preview screening, he could gain better word-of-mouth and get more people to recognize the film. Naturally, the future box office would definitely not be too bad. For Xu Fan, as long as the box office wasn't too bad, that was enough. He didn't have any demands or hopes that the film could reach a certain peak. Because for him, this film, in a sense, was just the prelude to the upcoming TV series "Youth". Its focus was still on the TV series "Youth". "Youth" itself was obtained from the depths of his mind by the system. You know, "Joy of Life" itself has very high healing value. If it could be adapted into a movie, it would definitely attract attention online. However, if a long novel wants to be adapted into a movie, it will definitely undergo a lot of changes. Changing things didn't align with Xu Fan's deepest, truest thoughts, which is why he planned to adapt "Thirty-Three Lives, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" into a movie. Besides that, the entire series would be filmed as a television drama, at least forty episodes long. He believed that both the movie and the drama would gain wider recognition after their release. However, at this moment, Xu Fan didn't have many other thoughts; he could only focus on singing the song. Xiao Zihan, sitting beside him, naturally shared the same sentiment. For them, being able to sing at this time was an honor, and singing the theme song was even more exciting. After all, the entire filming and release of this movie was basically handled by Xu Fan in Changde. Based on his past experience—though he didn't have much experience, others had a lot, like Andy Lau and others who had filmed many movies—in such cases, the relationship between singer and actor was usually considered. If the singer was also an actor, perhaps the singer would sing the theme song. However, this wasn't the case now, because everyone else lacked good songs; only Xu Fan possessed such an exceptionally beautiful song.

There were countless discussions in the live stream. At this moment, netizens were constantly discussing Xu Fan's song. For Xu Fan, all he needed to do was sing it properly. So, everyone sang "Liang Liang" non-stop, and the feeling was really perfect. Leng Xiaogu, Zhao Feiyang, and others next to him were also listening intently.

The moment the song ended, the entire live stream erupted again, with countless applause and emojis flooding the screen. But it didn't end there; a constant stream of donations poured in. Whether it was recognition of Xu Fan or anticipation for the song, many viewers, with their limited funds, showered him with various gifts—from little stars to rocket launchers—the list of gifts kept growing. For Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan, these donations were unimportant, because their goal today was to let more people know about the movie "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms," which would be officially released on October 1st, National Day.

When Xu Fan glanced at the comments in the live stream, he felt the fervor of the netizens. He knew they liked the song and were looking forward to the movie. It wasn't just the movie; his current promotional efforts were indeed perfect. But there was also the influence he had gained from singing the song. So, seeing their enthusiasm, their excitement, and their deep affection made him very happy.

His gaze shifted to Xiao Zihan beside him, then to Zhao Feiyang, Leng Xiaogu, and the others behind him. His eyes then returned to the camera, and he addressed the people in the frame: "Thank you all for your support, and thank you for your support of this film and this song. I hope our film will achieve good box office results, and I hope you will continue to support us in the future."

Xu Fan didn't say much more, because for him, as long as he could express his thoughts, that was enough. People who like you will like whatever you say, and people who don't like you will never like what you say.

===Chapter 986 The Song Given by the System===

Xu Fan was in a good mood, and Xiao Zihan was in a good mood as well. However, the mood of Xu Fan, Xiao Zisheng, Leng Xiaogu, and the others beside him was also quite good. For them, the movie's release in October was fast approaching, and this kind of promotion would naturally have a certain effect. Especially after seeing Xu Fei and Xiao Zihan sing this song, judging from the feedback from netizens, the song was bound to be a huge hit. In particular, they believed that these songs would definitely attract everyone's approval.

Everyone was in a good mood, so naturally they needed to do something else, like sing a new song or do something else. He had never thought about eating before, or rather, he had even considered doing something else, like singing another song. The messages in the live stream continued. When the person involved announced the end of their live stream for the evening, the netizens' discussions were countless. Although they were already used to Xu Fan's live streams suddenly ending, they were still a little nervous when it was announced again. Tonight, Xu Fan, as usual, started his live stream at 8:30, but only sang one song before ending, which was completely different from usual. Therefore, the netizens' reactions were very strong. The two looked at each other, and Zhao Fei couldn't help but say, "Look at how much the netizens like you now. Why don't you live stream a little longer? Whether you sing an old song or do something else, it might have a good effect."

This certainly sounded exciting, so Xu Fan hesitated for a moment. Looking at the messages in the live stream, he was even more unsure of what to do. So, after thinking about it, he decided to follow Zhao Feiyan's advice and continue doing other things, whether it was singing a song or addressing other issues. He believed that interacting with the viewers in the live stream was the only way to achieve results and make things better.

"Is it really over like this? Brother Fan, no! Your song just ended, but tonight's live stream can't end like this. Whether you just want to watch movies or chat with us, please don't bring up those deep feelings that I don't know how to express. I just hope you can stay and not end the stream yet."

"Don't end the broadcast! You only sang 'Liang Liang' tonight. We still want to hear you sing more, because you're broadcasting less and less these days. We want to hear your new songs, your next songs!"

"Brother Fan, you weren't like this before. You used to sing a new song in every live stream, which at least let us feel your charm. Aren't you going to sing a new song today? This is really not good, or rather, this is really different for us. We hope you can sing another song."

"In my opinion, even just singing one more old song would be fine. I just hope that Brother Fan can continue singing live streams. Can it be extended for a while longer? Because you just sing one song and then immediately end the stream. How are we fans supposed to be happy?

"That's right, Brother Fan, I hope you can continue singing, and I also hope you can sing another good song. I believe that every one of your works will be very good, so I've been looking forward to your singing today. I hope you won't be ungrateful."

When Xu Fan saw the words "ignorant of goodwill," he subconsciously shuddered. He sensed something special about this seemingly simple topic from netizens. What made it special was that the netizens weren't expressing much emotion or demanding anything of him. Yet, he felt that their "ignorant of goodwill" was just a joke. A thought flashed through his mind. Since the system upgrade, he didn't have many songs to release anytime. Previously, Xu Fan could easily register many songs or exchange them using his favor points. But now it was different. With his favor points reset to zero, he hadn't accumulated many, and more importantly, his points weren't high either. Currently, besides "Cooling Down," he only had one other song.

The new theme song was a reward from the system for completing the task. It's believed that this song could be performed as a special bonus. Meanwhile, watching the online chat, it seemed Xiao Zihan was considering whether to continue singing. However, Xiao Zihan himself didn't have such thoughts. He lacked the ability and experience to compose songs live, so he could simply avoid the topic. He knew that the viewers in the live stream wanted to hear Xu Fan sing, not him. Therefore, Xiao Zihan simply looked at Xu Fan and said, "It's clear that the viewers trust you greatly and hope you can sing an even more wonderful song. The rest of the live stream is in your hands. I hope you won't disappoint us fans."

Xiao Zihan's simple joke carried a hint of envy, but even more so, a sense of nervousness and trepidation. He knew very well that netizens were incredibly passionate about Shiwan, and he was no different from them. In a sense, he was also a part of Xu Fan's music. For example, he had a deep memory of Xu Fan's previous songs, such as "Xiao Chou" or "Like Me." Moreover, he had a great memory of the songs Xu Fan had written for him, such as "A Diao" and "Breaking the Cocoon." Every song was perfect, at least in his opinion. Therefore, like most netizens, he hoped that Xu Fan could sing a new song, a song with more depth and experience. This didn't mean that he didn't like the previous songs enough, but rather that he needed Xu Fan to sing another song to end the live stream tonight.

Aside from Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan's discussion, the others around them were also very much looking forward to it. For example, Zhao Feiyang and Leng Xiaogu, among others, found every song Xu Fan sang to be wonderful, songs they could listen to endlessly and listen to on repeat. Like their favorite songs, any one of them could easily sing a few lines at this moment, even if they couldn't remember many of the lyrics, they could at least sing the climax without any problem. So, while netizens were watching Xu Fan's live stream and wanted him to continue singing, the people around him also hoped that he could sing a new song. However, Xu Fan himself didn't have any other songs at the moment. He was actually a little conflicted about whether to sing a new song about the movie. However, what he didn't expect was that at this moment, the casual boy's voice rang out, a voice that was somewhat long forgotten, but which suddenly came to mind.

"Congratulations, host! You are embarking on a special mission: to reach five million viewers in the live stream and, after the new song is released, to gain the approval and downloads of three million people."

"Ding dong, congratulations host, you have obtained the new song 'Once Upon a Time'."

The two simple sentences echoing in the depths of his mind gave Xu Wei a sense of victory. He suddenly realized that the system had gifted him a song, and at the same time, it had triggered a special mission: to reach five million viewers in the live stream. His gaze was fixed on the live stream; thanks to his earlier singing, the number of viewers had already exceeded three and a half million. The other requirement was to get three million views and downloads of the new song after its release. This was extremely difficult. While the difference between three and a half million and five million viewers seemed only one million and one and a half million, the reality was quite different. At this moment, the number of people watching the live stream or following the internet wasn't very high. Reaching three and a half million viewers was still a significant challenge. However, he seemed to have no right to refuse now, as the mission had already begun. He could only accept the mission and ensure its successful completion. The second requirement was to obtain at least three million downloads.

If the number of viewers in the live stream reaches five million, then getting two-thirds or three-fifths of them to download and approve of the song being demonstrated is extremely difficult. Although his usual songs usually achieve at least 90% approval from a certain audience, it's very challenging for Xu Fan to release a song that gets everyone, or even three-fifths, to approve and download it. Getting people to like the song is relatively easier, as many of Xu Fan's songs are well-received by his friends, but getting them to download and listen is a huge challenge. Therefore, Xu Fan is very nervous about this. However, he knows he has no other choice but to accept this task and try his best to complete it, even if the completion rate isn't very high. Then, he focused his attention on the song rewarded by the "Heartbeat" award. The song's name is "Once Upon a Time," just three simple words.

This subconscious thought startled Xu Fan slightly. He had never imagined that a song could speak of the past. What was it talking about? It was about where the people we loved were now, about how we would embrace each other in the future, about how our world was completely different from another world, and how we would strive to do better. It was about how we would get good jobs after graduating from university. However, reality is not like that. Everything seemed to be saying the same thing, but the reality tells us that all those things we said have been forgotten, placed in the cycle of memory, and can no longer be reminded. All of this tells us that what we said is hard to truly remember.

So when Xu Fan saw this song, he was actually very disappointed and saddened. Gaining the approval of at least 30% to 60% of the viewers in the live stream, and getting them to download it, is extremely difficult. In this situation, each of Xu Fan's previous songs had its own target audience. For example, "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style" primarily appealed to middle-aged and elderly people. It's understandable that younger listeners wouldn't like it, download it, or approve of it. Similarly, "Your Answer" might appeal to those who are addicted to the internet and enjoy sentimental stories; they might be able to listen to it. However, the goal now is for 60% of the entire internet to like the song and download it. Therefore, the song must be good enough. But the song provided by the system, it seems, isn't that kind of song; it's just a simple love song.

Although the thirteen simple names and lyrics seemed rather light and refreshing, Xu Fan clearly understood that the words themselves didn't hold much significance. However, he knew he had no other choice, so he addressed the live stream audience: "It's really hard to suddenly think of something like this, but your deep affection is truly unbearable. So, at this moment, I understand that I definitely need to sing a new song tonight. Otherwise, after get off work tonight, the Weibo trending topics will definitely show that Xu Fan isn't as loving towards his fans as before. Of course, there will be other topics, maybe criticism, maybe something else, but whatever the case, what I want to tell everyone at this moment is that I'm presenting you with a new song, and I hope you like it."

After saying that, he didn't start singing immediately because he needed to familiarize himself with the song first. He felt that saying he couldn't sing that much would only make him a laughing stock. Although his pitch and other senses were almost perfect at that moment, he still needed to practice beforehand if he wanted to sing the song well.

When the audience heard Xu Fan's words during the live stream, they were all slightly stunned. But the next second, almost everyone was incredibly excited. For them, it was already difficult to hear Xu Fan's new song, and when Xu Fan suddenly said that he would sing another new song, it made them even more excited.
