Due to the heated discussions among netizens and fans, the news that *I Am a Soldier* would premiere on China TV during prime time as a National Day tribute drama spread like wildfire, quickly topping the trending search list.
It even soared directly to the top of the trending charts, dominating the headlines.
#National Day Tribute Drama—I Am a Soldier to Premiere on China TV during Prime Time!#
Seeing this title, marked with a blazing "🔥" and hovering at the top of the trending list, Lin Fan felt both thrilled and anxious.
As the lead actor in *I Am a Soldier*, he was naturally delighted by the show's pre-release buzz and its current trending status. The excitement was palpable.
Yet, at the same time, Lin Fan worried.
Could he, an relatively unknown actor, truly carry this drama and win the audience's approval?
He knew that given his current standing in the industry, it was practically impossible for him to be cast as the lead.
This time, Lin Fan had been given the lead role in *I Am a Soldier* entirely due to President Fu's favor.
He worried that his acting might not win over the audience, potentially ruining such a rare and excellent drama.
More than that, he feared he might betray President Fu's trust.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but frown.
Fu Shan, seated at one end of the long table, glanced at Lin Fan's worried expression and asked, "Lin Fan, what's wrong? Why the long face? *I Am a Soldier* is trending on social media and is already a hit before it even airs. Aren't you happy?"
Today, Fu Shan had gathered the main creative team of *I Am a Soldier* at Aifei Entertainment for a routine meeting.
The goal was to identify and address any remaining issues before the premiere, boost morale, and prepare for the upcoming promotional efforts. After all, there was still plenty of work to do.
At that moment, Fu Shan and the team were gathered in a conference room at Aifei Entertainment.
When *I Am a Soldier* hit the trending topics and dominated the headlines, everyone was thrilled.
Yet Lin Fan wore a worried expression.
Fu Shan, who had been discreetly observing the team's morale, naturally noticed his unusual demeanor and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing! President Fu, how could I not be happy? *I Am a Soldier* is already a sensation before its release, and I'm naturally thrilled. It's just..."
Lin Fan, singled out, immediately waved his hands and shook his head.
He paused mid-sentence, a flicker of anxiety crossing his plain face.
"President Fu, I'm afraid I didn't act well enough, that the audience won't like it. Even worse, I fear I might drag down our entire production. This show is already outstanding—the script, the post-production, everything is top-tier. I'm just worried that my skills and acting aren't up to par, that I'll hold everyone back!"
Lin Fan was deeply concerned about this.
Fu Shan merely smiled and waved his hand, deliberately softening his voice but speaking with unwavering confidence:
"Don't worry, Lin Fan! You did great! The audience will definitely recognize your talent and fall in love with you! And our *I Am a Soldier* will be a massive hit, becoming this year's next blockbuster hit—even a classic in the military genre! Just wait and see!"
Fu Shan had unwavering confidence in Lin Fan. After all, the Prophet System had identified him as a future film superstar and a record-breaking box office champion. He still vividly remembered the System's frantic insistence that he sign Lin Fan the moment it saw him.
Given the System's impeccable track record, Fu Shan had no doubts about Lin Fan's acting skills and capabilities. Moreover, during the filming of *I Am a Soldier*, he often visited the set to observe Lin Fan's performance, and he fully endorsed his acting.
As for *I Am a Soldier* itself, Fu Shan was truly confident. With an SSS-grade script, a cast led by Lin Fan and other talented actors, and a dedicated, high-quality production team, Fu Shan was certain the series would be met with overwhelming critical acclaim and commercial success upon its release, instantly becoming a classic.
"I agree with President Fu," Lu Li said, nodding repeatedly with a smile. "Lin Fan, your performance in our drama has been truly outstanding. I'm confident it will receive universal acclaim from audiences after the series airs. You have absolutely nothing to worry about dragging down *I Am a Soldier*; on the contrary, you'll elevate it considerably. Haha."
Lu Li had officially joined Aifei Entertainment as a director and was personally appointed by Fu Shan to direct *I Am a Soldier*. He completely agreed with Fu Shan's assessment. As a director, he understood just how exceptional Lin Fan's acting skills were. To Lu Li, Lin Fan's concerns were entirely unfounded.
Without exaggeration, Lin Fan was one of the two best male actors at Aifei Entertainment in terms of acting ability. The other, of course, was Fu Shan himself.
As this thought crossed his mind, a flicker of regret flashed in Lu Li's eyes.
*To be honest, our boss is a true prodigy!*
At such a young age, his acting skills already rival those of an award-winning veteran, and he's both handsome and charismatic. In both appearance and talent, he's truly top-tier.
Lu Li had once been very optimistic about Fu Shan, convinced he was destined to become a superstar.
A global-level superstar, no less!
However, after joining Aifei Entertainment, Lu Li was astonished to discover that Fu Shan was even more extraordinary than he'd imagined.
He was actually the owner of Aifei Entertainment, the very company they now worked for!
While surprised, Lu Li couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.
Fu Shan's identity made it clear that his acting was merely a hobby, a way to pass the time.
It was a waste of his immense talent and potential.
With no other choice, Lu Li turned his attention and energy to Lin Fan, another artist of exceptional talent.
Although Lin Fan's looks paled in comparison to Fu Shan's, his acting skills were currently the most outstanding and promising among Aifei Entertainment's male artists.
His future seemed limitless.
Director Lu Li, a man who always cherished talent, couldn't stand to see Lin Fan so self-deprecating.
He believed the young man lacked confidence, not skill.
That's why Lu Li echoed Fu Shan's words, showering Lin Fan with full recognition and encouragement.
"Then... I hope President Fu's good wishes come true! Thank you, President Fu and Director Lin, for your recognition and encouragement!"
Hearing their praise and encouragement, Lin Fan was deeply moved, his heart settling somewhat. He nodded gratefully at the two men, a flicker of anticipation rising in his eyes.
Everything would depend on the premiere...
*Let the premiere day arrive soon!*
