With all the roles finalized, the production team's preparations proceeded at full speed.
The GG sales team also achieved great success, attracting GG clients for all 15 products that could be integrated.
The sponsorship deals for several key products exceeded expectations.
The male lead's costumes were also chosen because of Lin Zixuan's minor fame from his three songs, plus his good looks. Semir secured the contract with a sponsorship fee of 10 yuan plus free provision of all the clothes needed for the shoot.
As for the female lead's costumes, Dong Xuan is, after all, a second-tier female star, and has a well-known representative role like Goddess Dragon. She has enough fame, plus she is beautiful. This directly led "Qiu Shui Yi Ren" to pay a sponsorship fee of 40 yuan and provide all the clothes needed for the shoot for free, thus securing the contract.
The watch was ultimately sponsored by Fiyta with a fee of 500,000 yuan, plus providing three watches for each of the male and female leads, securing the contract.
The mobile phone was acquired by Bird for a sponsorship fee of 60 yuan.
The total sponsorship fees amounted to 320 million yuan, far exceeding the initial expectations and giving the production team a great start.
Upon hearing this news, Zhang Guoli, who was far away in Hengdian, couldn't sit still. He put aside his preparations for "The New Legend of Ji Gong" and rushed back.

After celebrating the investment promotion team's success, the three investor representatives, Zhang Guoli, Zhang Ye, and Lin Zixuan, discussed the 320 million yuan GG fee separately.
The final decision was to set aside 100 million yuan as a reserve fund in case of unforeseen circumstances during filming, and to invest the remaining 220 million yuan entirely in production costs to make the TV series even better.
This includes upgrading the cameras from standard definition to high definition, upgrading various props, costumes, and makeup, raising the standards of a small number of special effects in post-production, and improving the accommodation and meals for the cast and crew.
Currently, the vast majority of TV dramas are filmed using standard definition cameras, mainly because TV stations can only broadcast standard definition programs.
Even if you film a high-definition program, you can't broadcast it. When it's broadcast on TV, it still has to be compressed into standard definition.
In terms of revenue, DVD copyrights can fetch a slightly higher price, but as we all know, due to rampant piracy and the impact of online video websites, DVD copyrights can no longer command a high price, so revenue growth in this area is negligible.
In addition, the rental cost of high-definition cameras far exceeds that of standard-definition cameras, so virtually no TV drama production team would use high-definition cameras for filming.
However, Lin Zixuan believed that the money was well spent. He was very clear that high-definition television was an inevitable trend, and the country had long had plans to promote it.
In fact, since the beginning of this year, CCTV, Beijing TV, and Shanghai TV have each launched a high-definition channel as a pilot program.
In the near future, high-definition television channels will inevitably replace standard-definition television channels.
When that happens, everyone will see a significant difference when watching standard definition programs.
Lin Zixuan is very optimistic about the long-tail effect of "Someday or One Day". If it is filmed with a high-definition camera now, there will be many more opportunities for it to be rebroadcast on the Internet and on TV in the future.
Based on current market prices, "Someday or One Day" would cost more than 30 yuan more to be filmed using a high-definition camera than using a standard-definition camera.
Initially, due to budget constraints, Lin Zixuan would never have suggested using high-definition cameras, but now that the budget has been increased, if he brings it up again, no one has any reason to object.
On August 7th, the crew completed its preparatory work and moved to Yuquan Road in the HD District, where they booked a 3-star hotel as the crew's base camp and officially formed a complete crew.
Based on the results of location and outdoor filming inspections, the streets here are quite suitable for filming the storyline.
Furthermore, the nearby BJ 11th High School perfectly fits the requirements of the storyline.
According to the communication between the production team's external liaison and the school, the production team can enter the school to film before August 31.
Dong Xuan arrived at the film crew on the afternoon of August 8th.
After learning that Dong Xuan had arrived, Lin Zixuan treated her to dinner that evening under the pretext of discussing the script.
After the two met at the restaurant, Lin Zixuan immediately cast the Moon Goddess Arrow spell on her.
Dong Xuan already had a good impression of Lin Zixuan after their first two encounters.
But after seeing Lin Zixuan today, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed, thinking that Lin Zixuan was even more handsome, so handsome that he touched her heart.
Seeing Lin Zixuan extend his right hand, she also extended her small hand. When they shook hands, her heart skipped a beat for no reason, and she felt her cheeks burning.
She forced herself to stay alert, suppressed the inexplicable thoughts in her mind, greeted Lin Zixuan, and chose to sit opposite him.
Lin Zixuan handed her the menu. "Senior, I've ordered a few dishes. Do you need anything else?"
"Could you add a vegetable salad for me?"
，。 。 。 。 。 。
While waiting for the food, Lin Zixuan took the initiative to speak, "Senior, the official filming starts the day after tomorrow. The director asked me to get to know you better first. You won't mind if I'm being abrupt, will you?"

"Junior, you're too kind. It's nothing. We're all trying to create a good film."
"Should we change how we address each other? Calling each other 'senior' and 'junior' feels a bit awkward."
"Then you can call me Sister Xuan, that's what my friends call me."
"Okay, then Sister Xuan, you can call me Ah Xuan or Zi Xuan."
"Alright, I'll call you Ah Xuan then."
"Sister Xuan, do you have any questions about the script?"
"I have a big question?"
"Ah, you tell me."
"Ah Xuan, did you really write this script all by yourself?"
"Sister Xuan, so that's what you're wondering about. It seems you don't believe I can write this script."
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just too unbelievable. You're a performing arts student; this script is logically sound..."
"Emotionally moving and incorporating elements of youth, school life, time travel, suspense, and mystery, how did you write such a brilliant script?"
"To put it another way, you can consider me a genius."
Dong Xuan chuckled, her eyes sparkling. "Genius? Who boasts like that?"
"This isn't bragging, it's called confidence. Sister Xuan, you know the songs 'Autumn Never Returns,' 'Wait a Minute,' and 'Damn Tenderness,' right?"
"Oh, right, right, you also wrote all three songs by yourself. People online say you're a musical prodigy."
"That's why I say I'm a genius; I have so much more talent than that!"
Dong Xuan was a worldly person. If another man were to boast like this in front of her, she would definitely feel disgusted. But now, listening to Lin Zixuan's words, she felt no dissatisfaction at all. On the contrary, she felt that he had a strange charm.
"Ah Xuan, should I call you my genius little brother then?"
"No, let's keep a low profile. Just call me Ah Xuan."
Dong Xuan couldn't help but giggle again, raised her glass and clinked it with Lin Zixuan's, "Let's drink to our low-key genius."
"Sister Xuan, do you have any questions about Huang Yuxuan and Chen Yunru in the script?"
"Don't worry, Ah Xuan, I've studied the script several times. My character seems to be two people, Huang Yuxuan and Chen Yunru, but actually there are four states, which are..."
Huang Yuxuan in 2019 (after Wang Quansheng's death): A melancholic and capable career woman with short hair, stylish but aloof.
Huang Yuxuan in 2019 (before Wang Quansheng's death): A youthful and lively student with long hair, in a relationship with Wang Quansheng.
Chen Yunru in 1998: A withdrawn and introverted high school student with bangs covering her ears, showing obvious self-protective behavior.
Huang Yuxuan, who travels back to 1998 (possessing Chen Yunru's body): cheerful and proactive, with exposed ears and tied in a small knot, her behavior reflects the personality of Huang Yuxuan in 2019.
How was my understanding?
Lin Zixuan clapped lightly, "Not bad, the interpretation is very good, and you have basically grasped the essence of the character."
"Basics, is there anything I haven't understood?"
"A little bit, there's actually another state."
"Oh, there's another status?"
"Yes, Chen Yunru, who impersonates Huang Yuxuan (dark phase): deliberately imitates Huang Yuxuan's hairstyle, smile and behavior, but her eyes are timid and her smile is stiff, which shows that she has lost her identity."
"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember now, there was indeed such a state."
After saying that, she raised her glass again, her eyes sparkling with an unusual light. "Ah Xuan, to be honest, the female lead in this script is so well-written and her character is so well-developed. Such a female character is simply hard to come by. Thank you for writing such a wonderful script."
"Sister Xuan, don't be shy. Let's work together to create a great show for the audience."
Dong Xuan looked at Lin Zixuan, her heart fluttering. She raised her glass again, her eyes sparkling, "Alright, Zixuan, from now on, if I have any questions about the script, can I come to you anytime?"
"certainly."
