B-level director

Chapter 24

Tianlu didn't report back to the agency, and went directly to the studio.

In fact, I haven't been here for three weeks, but I had the intention of saying goodbye before, and it feels like a lifetime away.

The studio is still as hot as summer and busy, and Brother Qi is also wearing toad glasses, discussing the script with Da Bangzi unhurriedly.Looking at this scene, Cheng Tianlu felt kind and at ease.He sat down beside Qi Ge'er without saying a word.

Brother Qi was taken aback, seeing that it was Cheng Tianlu, his eyes froze.After a while, he said, "Mr. Editor-in-Chief, long time no see."

Tianlu didn't speak all day long, just thinking about the whole incident in his mind.He thought about all the details, and gained a deeper understanding of the cause and effect.

It's just that there are still some doubts that I don't want to understand.So he turned on his phone and searched for the background of Rabbit Lin Yizhong.This wealthy businessman in his thirties has become an honorary advisor to the development fund by virtue of his relationship with the president.He is said to be a consultant, but he holds the power and has great freedom to manage the money. He has used the money to invest in various funds, projects, and even movies and modern art.Cheng Tianlu thinks that there are a lot of articles to do here. Even if a 2000 million painting comes from a prominent auction center, the price can be driven up by selling the left hand and buying the right hand. The overflowing price will fall into the pockets of Lin Yizhong and the president. .The other tens of billions of studios are just multiple operations of this trick.

Was the painter Domi involved?Cheng Tianlu casually searched for Domi's information, and found that Lin Yizhong bought several paintings of Duomi at an astonishing price.However, it is not news that the works of contemporary painters are auctioned at sky-high prices. There are many prices higher than this. If it were not for the incident, there would not be much attention.

As the screen slid down, Cheng Tianlu's fingers suddenly froze.In Domi's basic information, he was born in a very familiar place, in the same county as the mine murderer!Not the same town, but not far from each other.

Such a coincidence?Of course, this is not a strange coincidence. Nobel Prize winners also have countless fellows who sell wonton stew, repair mobile phones, construction workers, doctors, big businessmen, etc., but they always feel uncomfortable on the road all day long. I don’t know why. The region and the "disappeared village" followed him lingeringly, jumping out to scare people from time to time.

Brother Qi looked at Chengtianlu silently, seeing that he was silent, playing with his phone for a while, thinking about things, as if he was at his own home.Brother Qi wanted to call him, but in the end he turned his head away, ready to continue talking about the script.But he couldn't calm down at all, and he couldn't remember what he said in the last sentence.

He was a little irritable, turned his head and called out: "Cheng Tian Lu!"

Cheng Tianlu seemed to have suddenly realized that Brother Qi was by his side, looked at Brother Qi, and smiled: "Hey. Brother Qi, you...how are you recently?"

These words were very polite, totally unlike Cheng Tianlu's tone.There were so many contents in his eyes, and he was so focused that Brother Qi could only seriously answer: "Okay."

"That's good." Cheng Tianlu's tone was sincerely relieved.

Brother Qi felt baffled, but couldn't help feeling soft.Apart from work, he doesn't like to ponder other people's thoughts. Chengtianlu is a special case. Whether it's flirting, talking about things, running the train, or a simple sentence, how are you recently, he can chew it several times in peace of mind.

"What are you doing here?"

"Is your alien detector on? Give it to me."

Brother Qi didn't want to give it to him.Cheng Tianlu did hurt him that day, and the injury was serious.On the one hand, he felt that there was no need to be serious, the detector was just a childish game, and it was rare enough that Tianlu was willing to play with him all day; but he was still unhappy in his heart, and put the machine aside, out of sight and out of mind.

He reached into the gap of the sofa cushion, took out Wen Huhu's mobile phone, and threw it to Cheng Tianlu.

All the way to catch it.The screen was pitch black, reflecting two lights and his vague face.He thought for a while, took out his power bank, and charged his phone.After booting up, he first flashed the machine and uninstalled all the software.

Brother Qi didn't stop him, but asked, "Ling Lingjiu said something happened to Ban Wu, what's going on?"

"I misunderstood the father of the funder. Don't worry about others, are your strange uncles clean?"

Brother Qi sneered, "I'm not their financial manager, how would I know."

"Anyway, be careful. The wealthy businessman of Ban Wupong is under investigation. I just saw him taken away by the FBI."

"FBI?" Brother Qi was taken aback, "What does this have to do with the Americans?"

"Lin Yizhong manages tens of billions of funds. Do you think such a large amount of money can be handed over to any organization? That country hired a major investment bank in the United States to supervise. In theory, every investment should be well-founded and clear. But with such a large amount of money, it is more than enough to buy half of the entertainment industry. Buying the integrity of several people is not like playing. Lin Yizhong bribed the executives of the investment bank and falsified the accounts. The parking lot was shot and killed, and the US police intervened in the arrest and investigation, which led to the big case of Lin Rabbit. Today, the US government officially announced that it would freeze the US accounts of the president of that country and Lin Yizhong. Lin Rabbit ran away and Ban Wu was taken away gone."

Brother Qi sighed, "This is a big picture."

"That's right, the two of us acted in a blockbuster movie for no reason, and it looks like we're still playing tricks. Before the big director, the protagonist and the big villain have a duel, don't the tricksters have to die first?"

Brother Qi was startled, wondering what the two of them were doing.He pointed at the alien detector, "Because of this?"

"Well. On the day of the commendation meeting, American agents sneaked in and monitored Lin Yizhong and the scene. Your black-tech machine, which is running unidentified information from the United States, was detected." Cheng Tianlu felt funny, "They want to find out You're calling aliens who will turn you over to NASA."

Brother Qi didn't think it was a big deal, "We don't know Rabbit Lin, whether it's the FBI or 007, they can still tear us apart."

Cheng Tianlu thought a lot, shook his head and said: "One stone can stir up a thousand waves. Ban Wu is also an honest man, and he devotes himself to making movies. He turns a deaf ear to the outside world, so he is also stuck in it. This matter is going to get bigger, I'm afraid The source of funds of the entire film and television industry will be thoroughly investigated, your source of money is complicated, don't accidentally step on the pit."

"Accidentally," Qi Ge'er laughed, "these companies outside rarely have gray areas, and if you check them, there will be shit. We make movies, as long as our accounts are clear, they launder money, bribe, tax evade, I don't care about transferring property or making false accounts. The foundation is too dark, so stay away."

Cheng Tianlu could fully understand what he said, he stood up, "As long as you know what's in your mind, I'm leaving."

Brother Qi subconsciously kept him, "Where are you going, I just came here for a while."

"I'm worried about that painting, so I'll talk to the great painter—if he hasn't been invited by the Americans to eat a big hamburger."

Brother Qi immediately knew that he was talking about the masterpiece "Alien Descends", and took his hand: "Don't go!"

All day long I was stunned.Brother Qi's palm was warm and strong, and a warmth crawled into Cheng Tianlu's heart along the hands they held.He came here to look for Brother Qi, he wanted to do business, but he continued to hide and seek with Brother Qi after finishing.He thought that such a subtle emotion should disappear in a few days, and it was a feeling that had no reason at first, and it must pass away without reason.

But why is there no reason?Now that Brother Qi is holding his hand, he knows that this relationship is connected with a real person, with a nose and eyes, warmth and strength, a tall man who can frown, laugh, and bow his head The painting is vivid; today he has digested everything about Qi Geer, and tomorrow there will be new Qi Geer's words and expressions coming in, endlessly.

Where can I hide?

Seeing that Tianlu was in a daze, Brother Qi reminded him, "Don't be a fool, go find a great painter at this time! That painting must be used for money laundering, and the FBI must not keep an eye on him. Why are you being shot at? go!"

Cheng Tianlu came back to his senses, and tried his best to break free from Ge Er's hand as naturally as possible.He had already figured out what Brother Qi was talking about. To make matters worse, he had already met with the investigators this morning, so it was impossible to pretend to be a passerby.

But he still wanted to understand the painting. If Domizhen was arrested in connection with the case, he would not have the opportunity to meet again in the short term. "I don't think this painting is appropriate. The great painter and the butcher in the mine may be from the same village. Do you think he painted the disappearing village?" After saying this, even Cheng Tianlu himself was surprised. Before he knew it, he actually believed that the village did exist.

Brother Qi saw that Cheng Tianlu's attitude was very firm, and it was difficult to persuade: "How did the extras in the blockbuster die? Too much curiosity!" He hugged Cheng Tianlu's shoulders: "I'll walk with you."

Cheng Tianlu wanted to refuse, but was abducted into the car by Brother Qi's strong embrace.

You have to look up a person's address all day long, and you can find accurate information in a few minutes.Brother Qi drove the car, and the two followed the address to a villa area.

After they found the villa, they parked the car on another road 300 meters away.The red BMW X5 driven by Brother Qi is not conspicuous in this villa area, and there are several other cars parked on the curb.

Brother Qi asked: "How? Shall we climb in through the window?"

Cheng Tianlu laughed, "Are you really acting in a movie? We knock on the door openly, and if there are Heichao agents inside, we say it's delivery."

Brother Qi took a cowboy hat from the back seat and put it on, "Okay, do you think I look like a delivery guy?"

All day Lu was overjoyed, "This look is handsome!" Brother Qi was wearing a hat and sunglasses, covering his face tightly, it was extremely suspicious.If he were the FBI, there would be no need to interrogate him, just detain him.
