Mr. Zheng nodded and said, "Huazhou Film Industry has indeed been thriving in the film industry in recent years. Their scripts should be of good quality. However, you still need to consider all aspects, after all, you are different from ordinary people."

Andy Lau nodded and said, "Don't worry, you know my character over the years. If our values ​​don't align, I absolutely won't accept the job."

Xu Fan listened from the side and finally understood why Liao Fanxing said that he had also invited Andy Lau, but Andy Lau had refused.

It now appears that Andy Lau is preparing to take on a new film from Huazhou Film Company.

He came today intending to discuss this issue with Andy Lau, but judging from Andy Lau's tone, he seemed quite confident in and even approved of Huazhou Film Company's "movie."

This put Xu Fan in a difficult position. Just then, Old Fan suddenly said, "Little Liu, I heard that the film and television industry has been somewhat turbulent recently. Is the new film from Huazhou Film Studio that you mentioned an art film or a commercial film?"

Andy Lau replied, "It's an art film, a movie about missing persons."

Xu Fan was utterly shocked and filled with disbelief.

An art film, and one about missing persons, isn't this exactly the same as Starry Night Pictures' "Lost and Found"?

Both are art films; one is about missing persons, and the other is about child trafficking. They are essentially very similar.

Xu Fan couldn't help but get nervous, but Old Fan said, "This type of art film is relatively niche. The fact that you like it means the script is good. Congratulations in advance."

Andy Lau said, "Thank you, Mr. Fan. I haven't decided whether to accept it or not yet, but it's probably going to be fine."

Old Zheng said from the side, "Although there are far fewer missing persons and trafficking of women and children in China now compared to the 1980s and 1990s, it is still a social problem. If it can be reflected in a movie, it can be considered a social contribution. Xiao Liu, do you know that's what I value in you?"

In fact, Liu is not young; the Heavenly King Liu is over fifty years old this year.

Of course, compared to the two elderly men, Andy Lau is indeed much younger, as both of them are over seventy years old.

Andy Lau said, "I know, I will consider it carefully."

Just then, Old Zheng suddenly said, "Little Liu, I haven't heard you release a new song recently. Are you brewing up some big surprise?"

Andy Lau said with a smile, "Mr. Zheng is joking. I'm getting old and can't sing as much anymore. I just want to wait until I have inspiration. I have indeed had the idea of ​​writing songs recently, but I haven't had any inspiration yet."

Old Fan chuckled and said, "That's true, but..."

Old Fan suddenly turned his gaze to Xu Fan and said, "Young Xu, Old Liu praised your songwriting skills. Why don't you write a couple of lines for me?"

Old Zheng said from the side, "Hey, that's a good idea. The combined effect of the Heavenly King and the Son of Tomorrow will definitely be multiplied."

Before Xu Fan could speak, Andy Lau said, "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Xu, please don't make things difficult for Xiao Fan. Although I'm old, I still write my own songs."

Old Zheng and Old Fan laughed heartily, but Xu Fan had an idea and said to Liu Tianwang, "Why don't I give it a try?"

===Chapter 108 A Difficult Decision===

Xu Fan revealed a simple and honest expression, and said in a cheeky tone that he would give it a try.

At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with what he said, but upon closer examination, one can see that Xu Fan's expression is sincere and earnest.

Although his expression was somewhat inscrutable, it implied that he was certain he could write it.

Are you that confident?

The same thought flashed through the minds of all three of them. Andy Lau suddenly asked, "You said you'd try to write a song for me?"

Old Zheng said, "Are you really stupid, or are you pretending?"

This was said to Andy Lau.

Mr. Fan asked Xu Fan, "At his age, he certainly can't sing love songs, right?"

Andy Lau didn't think much of it, because he knew Xu Fan's "Sorrow" and that the lyrics were incredibly good. He just wondered if he could sing Xu Fan's songs well.

This doubt wasn't about his singing ability, but rather because he naturally had a Hong Kong accent and his Mandarin wasn't particularly standard. He also liked listening to several of Xu Fan's songs, but he had tried singing them and found that some of them didn't suit him.

It's not that the words are unsuitable, but rather that the feeling they evoke is unsuitable.

So he really didn't plan to ask Xu Fan to write a song for him tonight.

You know, Xiao Zihan has always wanted Xu Fan to write a song, but he hasn't done it yet. It's a little embarrassing for her to ask Xu Fan to write a song first.

Just as she was thinking this, Xiao Zihan, who had gone to the restroom and returned, said, "What are the teachers and Xiao Fan talking about that makes them so happy?"

Old Zheng said with a smile, "Young Xu said he could try writing a song for Andy Lau."

"Wow! That's great!"

Xiao Zihan looked at Xu Fan happily and said, "But, Xiao Fan, you promised me a song, so don't forget!"

Xu Fan quickly replied, "Yes, Sister Xiao, don't worry, I'll write it and send it to you as soon as possible."

Xiao Zihan chuckled and asked, "What song are you planning to write for Brother Liu?"

Andy Lau waved his hand and said, "Xiao Fan, I won't make things difficult for you. If you have any inspiration, you can write a few lines for me. If not, it's okay too."

Xu Fan looked at Andy Lau seriously and said, "I wrote a song before that I think is suitable for you to sing. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you."

Andy Lau shook his head and said, "That won't do. I can take the lyrics, but they can't be given away as a gift."

Xu Fan said, "You're exaggerating. I just think it suits you quite well."

Old Zheng said from the side, "Why don't you take it out and let us take a look?"

Xiao Zihan also said, "The song for me hasn't even appeared yet, but Brother Liu's song is already out there. Hurry up and let us hear it."

Upon seeing this, Xu Fan said, "I didn't bring the song, so I'll just hum a couple of lines. Mr. Liu, you can try singing it and get a feel for it."

Hearing this, Andy Lau did not object, but glared at Xu Fan and said, "I've told you so many times, don't call me Andy Lau anymore. It makes it seem like I love these empty titles. Just call me Brother Lau."

Xu Fan smiled憨厚ly and said, "Okay, Brother Liu."

Old Fan said, "Oh dear, this old man is so anxious! Hurry up and start singing!"

Xu Fan nodded, his mind already racing, searching, and finding a song he thought was alright. He cleared his throat and said, "The song is called 'People in Our Village'."

After saying that, Xu Fan began to sing: "My hometown is in this village. I am a native of this village."

Don't let the small size of the village fool you; it has mountains, water, and forests. The neighbors live in harmony, and the young and old are very sociable. Many things have happened in the village; looking back, they're quite amusing.

The simple and relatable lyrics startled all four people in the room.

Can lyrics really be written like this?

Xu Fan didn't continue singing, but said, "Brother Liu, why don't you try singing this song in your Cantonese accent?"

Xu Fan didn't think Andy Lau would forget the tune; such a simple melody and lyrics were easy to remember.

As Andy Lau pondered the idea, he felt it had some merit, and Old Zheng beside him urged, "Hurry up."

Andy Lau coughed and said, "I'm getting old, I'm afraid I won't remember these words very well!"

Xu Fan quickly took out his phone and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll write out the lyrics."

In the blink of an eye, Xu Fan handed the phone with the lyrics written on it to Andy Lau. Andy Lau looked at the lyrics, then at everyone, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Then I'll make a fool of myself."

After that, Andy Lau's Cantonese voice came on, immediately attracting the attention of everyone around him.

"My old man lives in this village, and I'm a native of this village."

Don't let the small size of the village fool you; it has mountains, water, and hills. The neighbors are quite harmonious, and the young and old are very friendly. A lot of things have happened in this village; looking back, it's quite a story.

After the words were spoken, everyone, including Xu Fan, was dumbfounded.

Andy Lau himself sang the same spirited song.

This song is fucking awesome!

The lyrics are very simple, and even the melody has a Northeastern flavor, but the feeling when it's sung is instantly different.

clap clap clap!

Old Zheng started clapping first, and then everyone joined in. Liu Tianwang excitedly said, "Xiao Fan, this song has a strong Northeastern flavor. When did you write this?"

Xu Fan smiled awkwardly and said, "I've heard people talk about Northeast China before, and I've also heard Errenzhuan (a type of folk performance) a few times. This is what inspired me to write this."

Xiao Zihan said from the side, "I must say, this song really suits you, Brother Liu."

Both Mr. Zheng and Mr. Fan agreed, and Xu Fan also said with a smile, "I originally thought it was quite suitable for you, but now it seems that this song must have been destined to be written for you."

Xiao Zihan smiled and said, "I'm envious."

Old Fan said, "What are you envious of? Young Xu promised you too, so just keep showing off."

Everyone laughed. Andy Lau thanked him, and Xu Fan said he would prepare all the accompaniment and send it to Andy Lau later. Andy Lau said he still wanted to pay, but Xu Fan insisted on refusing.

Old Fan then said, "Little Liu, don't argue with Xiao Fan anymore, just help him out more."

Andy Lau understood immediately, but Xu Fan was thinking about how to bring up the topic of "Lost and Found" with him. He admitted that he had a specific purpose in giving Andy Lau the song earlier.

However, he also had another idea: he didn't think "Lost and Love" would be canceled, and that its future box office impact would definitely be significant.

If Huazhou Films is also making a similar film, then one of the two films is destined to fail, regardless of their quality. It's simply a case of film companies undermining each other.

He doesn't think "Lost and Love" will fail.

If the other party's movie performs poorly at the box office, that's not good news for Andy Lau.

Perhaps this was an excuse Xu Fan made up, but deep down he believed it was the truth.

For Andy Lau, who is already considering starring in a film produced by Huazhou Films, it must have been a difficult choice to ask him to participate in "Lost and Found" at this time.

It even implies that he has deep thoughts, which makes Xu Fan hesitate. He thinks it's better to put this matter aside for now and talk about it later when there's an opportunity.

At least, we can't bring up this issue tonight.

However, just when Xu Fan had given up, Xiao Zihan suddenly changed the topic, bringing the conversation back to the movie, which made Xu Fan secretly happy.

He couldn't help but feel grateful to Xiao Zihan in his heart.

===Chapter 109 The Fat Man Makes a Swearing Order===

Xiao Zihan suddenly turned her head and said in a puzzled tone, "By the way, Xiao Fan, I suddenly remembered that the promotional announcement from Fanxing Pictures not long ago said that their latest movie in preparation is called 'Lost and Found' and the script was written by someone named Xu Fan. Could it be you?"

Xiao Zihan's topic wasn't abrupt, because they had been discussing movies before, and all of them had some knowledge of the subject, so Xiao Zihan's sudden question was quite normal.

Andy Lau remarked from the side, "The script for 'Lost and Found' was written by someone named Xu Fan? I really didn't know that."

Xiao Zihan said, "Brother Liu, you know about this movie too?"

Andy Lau said, "My agent mentioned to me before that Starry Sky Pictures had invited me to participate in a movie called 'Lost and Found'. But as you know, I was already considering movies from Huazhou Pictures. And now Starry Sky Pictures is declining, and it is a competitor of Huazhou Pictures. The company considered many factors and declined."

I really liked the movie title and wanted to read the script, but my agent rejected it beforehand, so I didn't even consider it.
