B-level director

Chapter 48

"A cursed movie! A movie that has not yet been approved, has encountered bizarre incidents one after another. Could it be that 17 people have been haunted by wronged souls? Uncover the weird crew that is more exciting than the plot of the movie..."

"17 What is wronged soul?" Cheng Tianlu interjected impatiently.

Xiao Dongli smiled and said, "Why don't you remember that the butcher in the mine killed 17 people?"

"This fucking piece of shit has nothing to do with the murder case in the mine!"

"Hey, if you don't show these exciting points, there will be no traffic. There are at least a thousand articles of this kind of article, and the more outrageous it is, the more outrageous it is. But then again, the title is also correct. Our film is too evil, and it attracts people back and forth. Transnational corrupt criminals, FBI, Mexican drug lords, missing persons, and many things are unclear, how did the bomb in the office explode..."

"That's enough, Xiao Er! I get high blood pressure when I talk about bombs, don't mention it in the future. There are so many natural disasters and man-made disasters, why do people like Mao not care about the things around them, and want to talk about these outrageous rumors?" Cheng Tianlu naturally knew the answer , just want to complain.

"Serious things, things around you, you can't talk about it in depth! It's safest to talk about ghost stories, especially if the villain is a foreigner, it doesn't matter how you scold him."

Cheng Tianlu smiled helplessly.Xiao Dongli continued: "But this disappearance is very strange, it can't really be related to the local government, right?"

"It's hard to say. The place is very remote. The more corners there are, the more complicated the rule of law environment is. Every year, so many people disappear without reason, and usually have no news, or lose money with their families. Generally, there will be no splash. They may not have thought of it." This matter will be fermented on the Internet, and it cannot be covered."

"Because the bombing case is so hot, many eyes are staring at us. I also want to thank Tong Yinghou for accepting interviews everywhere and providing us with a lot of material."

Cheng Tianlu thought to himself, Tong Yiru had tasted the sweetness and received a cold reception, so he was determined to stick to this movie to hype it up.She is about to turn 30, and there are fewer and fewer job options. It is understandable to seize the opportunity, but there are so many pitfalls hidden in this matter, who can predict whether it will be a blessing or a curse?Those who know a little bit about being wise and protecting themselves will definitely not be in trouble.But there are warriors who are not afraid of death, Tong Yiru, and...

"Editor-in-Chief, is this movie still in production?"

Cheng Tianlu hugged his head, distracted, "Do it, of course! Not only do it, but also make a fucking mess of it. Brother Qi and the class teacher are going to fly to the southwest next week to visit the village."

Xiao Dongli opened his eyes wide: "To find the missing persons, or to gather folk tales?"

"What's the difference? The two of them, you can't say they're innocent, they're both stubborn. They ran into the water so deep, and stepped on the red line every minute."

"That's not easy, you should follow along. You have golden eyes and fiery eyes, what kind of ghosts and monsters can't see through?"

Cheng Tianlu really doesn't want to get involved anymore, he and Brother Qi have a wonderful chemical effect, and anything will happen when the two of them get together.Shaking his head: "I have a lot of work in my hands, ten rounds a week, twenty meetings, where can I get away with it."

Besides, this is the civilized world of the 21st century, and it's not a feudal society that cannibalize people. It's impossible for people with sound minds to have accidents, right?All day long, he comforted himself that the two screenwriters were probably locked up for whoring, or went off to the mountains to play wild, and they would all be back in two days, nothing happened.

On a cloudy and rainy morning, I carried my luggage all day long and went out with Brother Qi.

The reason for the incident is as follows: that day, Brother Qi took out his passport to see if it had expired.The whole day was amused: "You don't need a passport for domestic travel, you haven't been out before, have you?"

"I went to Tianjin by train when I was a child."

Cheng Tianlu snatched his passport and looked through it, it was as clean as new without a single stamp. "Don't tell me you've grown up so much that you haven't been on a plane yet?"

Qi Geer nodded.

"Aren't you a modern person?!" Brother Qi, a man who grew up in a big city and earns millions of dollars a year, is actually more closed than he thought. He hasn't been out of Beijing for half his life, and spends most of his time indoors filming and talking. Painting, interpersonal communication means eating and drinking with friends, and self-confinement within a radius of [-] kilometers.How can Tianlu rest assured that he is out alone?

Brother Qi said indifferently: "Linglingjiu and Mengsi are with me, nothing will happen. By the way, Uncle Hai is going too."

"Then I'll go too!"

"No need, you are busy with your work."

"Uncle Hai's busy schedule is gone, and I can't be lazy as a consultant." Cheng Tianlu hugged Brother Qi, "We haven't gone out together yet, so let's go on our honeymoon."

"You are sick."

"Well, I've been with you for a long time, and I got infected..."

"Laipi," Qi Ge'er blocked his mouth with her tongue, deciding not to listen to his nonsense anymore.

Cheng Tianlu dispatched all the work, and flew to the provincial capital with Qi Geer and a dozen people.After getting off the plane and taking a bus, it takes seven or eight hours to drive among the rolling mountains before arriving at the county seat.In the last four hours, climbing and descending all the way, the people in the car have already turned pale from tossing.

Ling Lingjiu said in despair: "This road will never end. Do we really want to shoot on the spot in the future? I said that the collection is superfluous. There are no documents and videos in the library. Now those two people don't know if they can get them back. In case People are gone..."

"Shut up, you," Geer Qi interrupted him.He suffered from motion sickness and leaned against Cheng Tianlu.Cheng Tianlu asked concerned: "Are you dizzy?"

It was rare for Brother Qi to be weak: "Well, I'm dying, I can't sit still." Cheng Tianlu didn't avoid suspicion anymore, put his arms around Brother Qi's waist, and offered himself to be him as a pillow.

"Why are you alright?"

"I've been in this area three or four times. I used to run news. It's good to have such a comfortable car. I've ridden in ox carts, horse carts and tractors, and I've been exercising."

"It's awesome." Qi Geer imagined the turbulent work, and felt safer in Cheng Tianlu's arms. "There are mountains here, and there is no residential house in the distance. If the two of them get lost, it will be difficult to get out."

"The temperature at night is less than 5 degrees, and it's colder in the mountains, and there's no food. Most people can't survive for a few days," Cheng Tianlu said with a heavy heart. In his opinion, the two people were already dead.He touched Brother Qi's face, and whispered in his ear: "The future is unpredictable, be good and don't cause trouble, try not to offend others, a strong dragon will not overwhelm a snake."

"Understood, I will not be thrown into the mountains. If you can't find me, call planet 276, no matter where I am in the universe, I will come back to see you by spaceship immediately."

"Really poor." Cheng Tianlu laughed.

Ling Lingjiu sighed: "You two masters, take it easy, the whole car is about to vomit."

The two talked as if no one else was there, not realizing that Tong Yiru's eyes had been glued to them.Not only did she follow, but she also brought two professional cameras to do the live broadcast.Everyone felt uncomfortable, but Uncle Hai agreed in a good-tempered manner: "That's fine, warming up our publicity is more effective than spending money on marketing."

Cheng Tianlu can only slander: People are missing, and they still do publicity, maybe the whole project will be checked and stopped!

The car drove on the mountain road with nine turns and eighteen turns, and every turn made people feel empty and stomach churning.Uncle Hai has not said a word since he got in the car, watching the scenery for hours in silence just like the hero of a literary film.Everyone had their own concerns, and the two "honeymooners" stopped talking. The silence in the carriage merged with the wilderness outside the window, and the prosperity of the big city faded behind and was dissolved in the exhaust of the car.

It was already afternoon when they arrived at the county seat.Brother Qi thought that there would be bullock carts on the road, pulling agricultural products such as bananas and live chickens. Unexpectedly, the roads in the small town are smooth and clean, and the main streets are full of common chain brands and mobile phone stores, which are no different from those in the suburbs.

Brother Qi was very disappointed: "It's very boring here, there is no color at all."

"Big director, this is not a tourist area, and no one specially buys those cultural counterfeit products." Cheng Tianlu looked at the retreating shops, "But there is a very interesting place in this county."

The bus turned a corner, and there were open squares and buildings in front of us.Cheng Tianlu continued to introduce: "This is the county government office building."

"The county government is so fucking rich, it looks bigger than the White House."

Cheng Tianlu smiled: "Usual operation. I said it's not here, look at the back of the building."

There are sharp corners behind the building, which turned out to be a European-style tower. "There is a beautiful church there. There are several small western-style buildings around the church, like a small and crude version of Dongjiaomin Lane."

"There are foreigners here?"

"Looking at the literature, there were some Americans and Belgians living in the county in the early 80s, but they all left. When I came back, I didn't see a foreigner. I don't know why they came to this place where there was nothing."

"Then it's not nothing." Brother Qi became more energetic, "The reason why the foreigner came here has something to do with the missing person?"

Ling Lingjiu interrupted: "It's not impossible. Could it be that they found out some secret and were silenced!"

Cheng Tianlu said with a smile: "No one has written such a dregsy plot, can the two of you think of something fresher?"

"The plot is not afraid of routines, as long as the story is exciting. In a border town where few people speak Mandarin, there is no international trade, and it is not an ancient cultural relic. What are the foreigners doing here? There are many articles to do here."

The bus turned into the street behind the building, and churches and western-style buildings came into view.From a closer look, the arched windows of the church are missing glass, the lawn is overgrown with weeds, and the balcony railings have fallen off, rusted and decayed.Brother Qi and Ling Lingjiu: "It's a great place, a no-man's land in a busy city." "If the original residents didn't leave and hid inside, then it's not a no-man's land."

The two talked enthusiastically, and all the sick and frail symptoms of the journey were swept away.Cheng Tianlu shook his head secretly. If the two of them continued talking, this place should become a biological weapons testing base for the US military.What is the level of modern administration?Not to mention hiding in the center of the county, those who live in deep mountains and old forests don't even think about evading half a dime of tax.

Judging from the relics, this county was indeed prosperous, but declined at a certain point in time.This has happened in many small towns and towns, and there is nothing surprising about it.Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered a document he had read. He didn't think about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, isn't this the "puzzle" that was handed to him?Is it predestined somewhere that all the clues finally intersect at this moment?

He looked at Brother Qi's side face, feeling a heavy sense of uneasiness in his heart.
