B-level director

Chapter 23 God Man

Since that day, Cheng Tianlu has never contacted Brother Qi again.

This matter is much easier than imagined. The two of them have been communicating through the detector. After the machine was returned to Brother Qi, he realized that he didn't even have Brother Qi's mobile phone number, let alone his WeChat, Instagram, etc. of.

They have never exchanged contact information, Zhenzhen is not even a normal buddy.

Cheng Tianlu thought to himself, this is also quite good.Brother Qi didn't take the initiative to contact him. He probably was in the same situation as him. Without the phone, they would be aliens outside of each other's world. Planet 276 is tens of thousands of light-years away, let alone the body, even if the consciousness goes there, it will disappear in the vast universe.

Their only tenuous connection is that dodgy movie.The progress of the movie seems to be conforming to his will, it just goes in circles.For some reason, the script could not be completed. He thought, this film will probably never be made.

"Master Lu, do you think this can be done?"

"Uh," Cheng Tianlu came back to his senses, and turned his attention back to the topic selection meeting.This is a high-level topic selection meeting. Only the chief writers of each column and a few executive editors are involved, and they are dedicated to discussing major topics or covers.This is the last topic selection meeting before the year. Generally, when the year ends, everyone will be tired and slack, and the topics are all made up.

However, Xu Kuan, the executive editor, reported a rather controversial topic, Rabbit Lin Yizhong's Ten Billion Studios.Because of this studio, Cheng Tianlu thought of Brother Qi, and was distracted for a short while.

"Hasn't Lin Rabbit been impeached yet?" Cheng Tianlu was puzzled, "I heard that he is in a bad situation in his own country. This matter involves the politics of other countries, so we have to be careful."

"Hey, now the film and television industry dares to ask for any money, you must be crazy from hunger."

Xu Kuan: "Which line of business is not like this, you don't want money, Mr. Qi! Fortunately, film and television has many links, complex relationships, data is easy to falsify, and money laundering is the easiest. More than 100 billion, this is a fucking super money laundering machine."

"Movies are not the best thing to fool. Lin Yizhong spent more than 2000 million to buy a painting - the painting is very interesting, more than 2000 million!"

"That's right, it's best to clean up the art circle. It's 2000 million if you want 2000 million. In the end, it's hard to say where the money came from and who pockets it."

"Contemporary art is all about fooling fools."

"Da Guo, that's too extreme. When you talk about other people's contemporary art when you run sports, isn't it the same as a female fan talking about Ronaldo's underwear?"

"I just don't like to look at those who are in the dark. If you want to talk about paintings, this one by Master Lu is good. It's quite funny."

He's talking about the zombie and cowboy comics glued to his notebook.Cheng Tianlu panicked for a moment, why did he discuss his paintings for no reason?

Everyone seemed excited when they found this opportunity to deviate from the topic.Someone asked: "Master Lu, what do you mean by this painting?"

"It looks like a picture, who is the cowboy?"

Xu Kuan said, "Isn't this Brother Qi who made horror movies?"

Chengtianlu was even more caught off guard.Brother Qi really has the means, he can outline the characteristics of a person with a few strokes, and the comics with a sloppy tone can still make people recognize the temperament at a glance. "You know Brother Qi?"

"Why don't you know me? I'm his fan and I've seen every movie. He doesn't come out very often. I heard that you and Xiao Xiao have a cooperation project with him. Ask me for an autograph."

Cheng Tianlu was surprised that Xu Kuan, an old gunner and fan of movies, would actually like Brother Qi's movies. "Old Xu, you love watching blood plasma films, I didn't expect that. Brother Qi's film has no content at all, what's so good about it?"

"Hey, this is the communication of electric waves. There is no reason to say it. It is the camera adjustment, rhythm, color, etc., which are very suitable for me. Watching movies is very private. Of course, there are standards, and the standards are good. Everyone understands. But it’s not standard and I like it very much, this is love!”

Everyone made fun of: "Old Xu came up with his magic stick theory again."

But Cheng Tianlu was mistaken for his thoughts, and his old face turned red.He was very happy to hear people say that he likes Geer Qi's movies; he hasn't watched any of Geer Qi's works so far, but he has been on the set several times and always thinks that Geer Qi's movies may be bad. The director is not bad at all.

"Master Lu, are you very close to Brother Qi? This is his drawing, I have seen his manuscript. Can you give it to me?"

Cheng Tianlu hurriedly protected the baby, and scolded with a smile: "Don't even think about it!" Whoever touches his painting, he will never end with anyone.This was the only thought left to him by Brother Qi.

Everyone booed, "This painting is worth 2000 million! Old Xu, you are too much." Old Xu Waner asked for this painting just for fun, but he didn't expect the editor-in-chief to react so strongly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was loose all day long, he immediately restrained the morale of the army: "Okay, everyone! Are you going to make a horror movie? Don't leave if you can't finish talking. Let's close the door and tell ghost stories all night!"

Da Guo quickly sat upright: "Let's talk about the topic. If I can't go back to dinner tonight, it will really be a horror movie. Old Xu, go ahead and report."

Xu Kuan: "No one in the circle is sure about the film studio, so what should we do? This is big news. Whether the film studio can work or not has a lot of attention. Let's not miss the news."

Lulu pondered for a while: "Old Xu, let's talk to Ban Wu. Lin Yizhong wants to invest money in filming for him. Let's find out the progress first and find out about him."

"Okay. By the way, the class director is really old tree blooming this time. When he is next to the super rich, he doesn't have to go around crying about the inhumanity of the world and the death of literature and art! In fact, it would be nice to have a few more money laundering machines like this. There is food to eat."

"Fuck you, what are the three views." Everyone laughed and scolded.

Cheng Tianlu made an appointment with Ban Wu, and took Xu Kuan to the director's studio.

The studio is located in a modest apartment building that was supposed to be a residence, but is now occupied by various small companies.All kinds of people come and go in and out of the lobby, office workers with backpacks, white-collar workers with coffee, takeaway guys with incubators, the scene of a busy working day.

Cheng Tianlu answered a call in the lobby, it was from his telecommunications friend.The friend cut to the chase: "Tianlu, what happened to your phone? If it wasn't yours, return it immediately!"

Cheng Tianlu asked in surprise, "What did you find?"

"I didn't find anything," my friend worried: "I was investigated. You asked me to inquire about that phone call, but I was targeted. Someone asked me to talk to me just now. Something bad happened!"

"Appointment?" So formal, it must be Gongjia.

"Appointment. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to meet those gods in this life. It's like acting in a movie—FBI, FBI."

"Fuck!" Cheng Tianlu cursed.He knew that the silent phone call was inappropriate, but he did not expect to involve the US police.

"Dude, I've got you out. Don't be alarmed if some beauties in black suits come to your door. They're nice people, and the translation girls they bring are also pretty punctual."

Cheng Tianlu quickly calmed down: "I'm really sorry I have troubled you this time."

"Which of us is with whom. No, how did you provoke the FBI?"

Cheng Tianlu roughly sorted out the ins and outs in his mind, and sighed: "It's an accidental injury, it's nothing, you don't have to worry about it. I invite you to drink in two days to calm down the shock."

He frowned and walked into the elevator with Xu Kuan.Xu Kuan: "The occupancy rate of this building is quite high, and there are many foreigners."

Tianlu heard the words and looked around, only to find that there were people in the front, back, left, and right.Black suits, tall Europeans and Americans, beautiful and capable Chinese girls; although there is no black super.

He glanced at the number board, and sure enough, he went to the same floor as them.

Xu Kuan has been in the film and television industry all year round, so he didn't notice anything wrong with these people; Cheng Tianlu had been involved in many serious cases, and from the corner of his eye, he saw two plainclothes people among them.They found out that they both went to the same floor on Chengtian Road, so they had already scanned them calmly.Cheng Tianlu noticed the seriousness in his expression.

Actually caught up with this inch!There was nothing wrong with him in the first place, but now that he is blocked, it seems that there is a major trick.He was also worried about Brother Qi.I don’t know if Brother Qi has turned on the alien detector. Even if he didn’t, the “hotel sales” that day probably archived them. If the investigation was detailed enough, he and Brother Qi would have been stripped and checked. Let's see through.

After getting out of the elevator, Cheng Tianlu deliberately took two steps slower, pulled Xu Kuan and said, "I'll call back, wait a minute."

He watched the FBI and the plainclothes assisted in handling the case walk towards Banwu's studio, and called Ling Lingjiu.

The phone was connected, but Cheng Tianlu was stuck, not knowing how to speak.

"Master Lu, how long has it been since I saw you, are you busy?"

"Hmm. Brother Qi... on the set?"

"Yes, do you need to find him? I'll give him the phone later."

"Don't! I..." He still didn't want to face Brother Qi, and felt that it was inconvenient to talk about it on the phone, so he replied, "I'm fine."

Ling Lingjiu gave a sensitive snort: "What's the matter with you two? Wasn't it so sweet a while ago, Brother Qi, why did you offend you? Please take care of him, he is not a showman, and he is uneducated. Seriously, don't say anything out of your mouth."

Cheng Tianlu felt sour: "It's really nothing, you're thinking too much. I don't know his virtue, please tell him, Ban Wu was investigated by the Americans, and he's not at peace recently, let him... be careful."

Ling Lingjiu was surprised: "What happened to Ban Wu and was investigated?!"

"I can't make it clear on the phone. I'll find you later."

He didn't know if Brother Qi could understand or not, but he didn't understand the details.It is useless to remind Brother Qi now, he made this call just to know about Brother Qi's condition.Knowing that Brother Qi was fine, he was a little relieved.

Just after hanging up the phone, a group of people came out of Banwu's studio.The first one is the masterpiece of alien descent, the painting is huge, supported by three men.

Ban Wu followed behind the group of people, raised his eyes and saw Cheng Tianlu, and immediately turned his eyes to other places.

Cheng Tianlu knew that Ban Wu didn't want to get him involved, so he pretended not to know him, and walked into another company with Xu Kuan.He made up a random reason with the front desk, chatted a few words, and walked to the elevator again.

The group is still there, discussing how to get the painting into the elevator.It was then concluded that the canvas was removed from the frame and rolled away like a carpet.This is not a small project, and it couldn't be completed in a while, and instead blocked the elevator door.

Cheng Tianlu thought to himself, these agents are also clumsy enough.After all, reality is not a movie. They cannot climb walls with bare hands, and there is no helicopter to respond. When encountering such problems, they have to honestly work with screws.

The agent brother was kind, and said to Cheng Tianlu in crooked Chinese: "You guys go in first."

Cheng Tianlu and Xu Kuan walked into the elevator unceremoniously, and pressed the door closing button.The elevator door closed slowly, looking at the painting all day long, it was like the curtain of a stage slowly closing.In the lower right corner of the painting, he saw the signature of the painting, "Domi".

Cheng Tianlu thought, this name has a good meaning, but the horoscope is not good, this time I am afraid that no matter how many meters there are, I will not be able to stay out of it.

The author says:

The FBI came out, and the plot began to develop in a strange direction...

Many people may not know that the FBI has an office in Beijing. It is said that it is in an unremarkable office building in Chaoyang District, with only two or three people working.Of course, they can't chase criminals in other countries and go through fire and water like in the movie. They are probably just dealing with and communicating with transnational crime cases, which is of a diplomatic nature.
