Chapter 43: The Scenery Under the Dark Curtain (Ask for Recommendation)

Chu Ling was a little dumbfounded and looked at the somewhat complicated looks on the faces of the few people around him, and couldn't help but look at Wang Jing, the only one present who was not affected and had a mouth full of oil, and asked with his eyes, "What's going on?" ”

"Ah Ling, do you have a problem with your eyes? What do you keep looking at me? Wang Jing blinked his eyes inexplicably and asked indistinctly.

"Holy."

If it weren't for the scruples of the few beauties present, Chu Ling would definitely have dismantled the dead fat man, but he also got rid of Wang Jing's blessing, and the somewhat depressing atmosphere just now finally dissipated.

It's just that I don't know why, Chu Ling always felt that the eyes of several people looking at him were a little weird, especially what made him furious, even Liu Tianwang looked at him with the same eyes, which made him burst into tears, buddy is not good at that.

"Ah Ling, now that "Wulin Gaiden" and "Nightclub" have been released, do you have any plans for the second half of the year? I'd love to work with you. Liu Tianwang put away his somewhat complicated emotions and asked with a smile.

"Whew"

Feeling that the strange sight had finally disappeared, Chu Ling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, shrugged his shoulders at Liu Tianwang's question, and said helplessly: "The money has been squandered, and at this stage, I can only draw comics at home, let's talk about it when the money arrives." ”

"Drawing comics?"

Liu Tianwang and the others all looked at Chu Ling with a smile, you must know that Chu Ling, who has acted in three dramas, is already famous as an actor, not to mention the director's two dramas, but no one in the audience thought that Chu Ling would actually say that he would draw comics.

"With your current fame, even if no one asks you to film, there will always be someone looking for you to act, right?" Lin Qingxia asked in surprise.

Shrugging his shoulders, Chu Ling said helplessly: "That's the case, not only no one came to me to film, but not even one came to me to act." ”

Speaking of this, Chu Ling couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that I'm not popular enough." ”

As soon as Chu Ling's words fell, Wang Jing, who was standing on the side, wiped his mouth and interjected with envy: "It's not that no one wants to invite you to film, but everyone doesn't know what price to use to invite you?" ”

Hearing this, not only Liu Tianwang and a few people were stunned, but even Chu Ling was inexplicable.

Glancing at a few people, Wang Jing said with some jealousy: "Now everyone in the circle knows that just one "Wulin Gaiden" wirelessly gave you 10 million, who would dare to invite you?" If the price is high, it will lose money, and if the price is low, it will be unpleasant. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yazhi and several people who knew about this matter nodded knowingly, but Lin Qingxia, who heard about it for the first time, couldn't help but be surprised, and looked at Chu Ling carefully again, but found that the other party had become mysterious.

"Ten million is a fart." Chu Ling said helplessly: "The money in my hand is mine, and the money that doesn't reach my hand is someone else's, and now I not only don't make money, but I also owe hundreds of thousands." ”

That's when it happened.

"Ah Ling, why are you short of money? If you are short of money, tell me, I can still take out tens of millions. Hong Jinbao walked over in an atmospheric manner surrounded by Xu Ke and Yuanbiao.

Seeing a few people coming, Chu Ling and the others hurriedly smiled and politely said a few words, and introduced them separately.

Chu Ling said indifferently: "Just a joke just now, the first half of the year will be busy enough, and the second half of the year will have to be busy again when the funds are in place, taking advantage of this time, I am planning to practice my drawing skills and prepare to publish a comic." ”

"Comics?!"

Hong Jinbao and the others, who heard it for the first time, couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Chu Ling with a strange look in their eyes.

I was stunned for a moment.

Shi Nansheng, who knows more about comics, couldn't help frowning, and said worriedly: "The first thing to recommend in Xiangjiang Comics is Huang Yulang's Yulang International, but not to mention Huang Yulang as the boss, that is, Ma Rongcheng, Feng Zhiming, Dick and others are all comics masters, if you want to get ahead here, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

Hong Jinbao also frowned and said: "In Xiangjiang, except for Yulang International, the others are basically petty fights, and it is difficult to get ahead, unless you go to the book, the comic atmosphere there is relatively good now, and there should be a lot of trouble." ”

Hearing this, Chu Ling nodded gratefully, and said with a smile: "The so-called one thing is not bothering the two masters, my novel is serialized in the "Starlight Daily", and the drawn comics will let them set up another comic magazine and continue to serialize my comics." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, except for Zhao Yazhi who guessed that "Starlight News" was Chu Ling's, others didn't know, it was because of this that everyone present couldn't help but feel that Chu Ling's tone was a little too big, even if "Starlight News" became famous because of his novels, it was absolutely impossible to start a comic magazine rashly because of his words, after all, newspapers and comics

Magazines are two concepts that have something in common, but they should never be confused.

Seeing the disbelief in the eyes of several people present, Chu Ling didn't say anything, after all, no one would have thought that "Starlight", which is now the three major newspapers in Xiangjiang, would actually be his company.

And Hong Jinbao and a few people saw Chu Ling's calm look, so they didn't talk anymore, after all, their relationship with Chu Ling was really unfamiliar, and some things were better left alone, this kind of thing was very clear to a few people who had been in this complicated circle for many years.

Immediately, a group of people in the entertainment industry got together, and of course they inevitably talked about common topics: stars, scandals, and gossip.

A group of more than a dozen people gathered together to talk freely, but they didn't know that this small circle in the corner had already become the focus of the reception.

After all, not to mention Hong Jinbao, the big brother in the entertainment industry, even the beautiful women can't be counted on one hand, and at a banquet like this, female stars are naturally the target of the rich.

In the center of the hotel, two men in their forties who were surrounded by several female celebrities talked happily and touched their wine glasses, with a satisfied look on their faces.

In addition to being happy, coupled with the fact that the goal had been achieved, one of the middle-aged men in a white suit with an elegant temperament couldn't help but admire the beauty, and his eyes naturally converged on Chu Ling's circle in the corner.

"The entertainment industry is really getting more and more developed now, so I want to go in and get a vote."

While laughing, the middle-aged man couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at Chu Ling, who was talking and laughing, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and his hand holding the cigar couldn't help shaking, and his face became a little ugly.

Hearing this, another middle-aged man who was slightly rich said with a smile: "Since Brother Du has this idea, why don't I also intervene, and the two of us brothers will be together."

Speaking of which.

The rich middle-aged man saw the gaffe of the new friend in front of him, and couldn't help but stop talking, and looked at the corner where Chu Ling was, but after a few careful glances, they were all celebrities, and there were no big names, which made him frown.

Without waiting for the rich middle-aged man to speak, the middle-aged man known as Brother Du said apologetically: "I'm sorry Brother Li, I saw an acquaintance, I'll go say hello." ”

After speaking, regardless of Brother Li, who had a blank face, and several female stars who worked hard to show their capital, they walked quickly to the corner where Chu Ling was.

"Mr. Chu, I heard that you went to the United States in the early years, but I didn't expect that you had already returned to Hong Kong, and it was rude not to visit, Mr. Chu must not be surprised."

Hearing this, Chu Ling frowned, sighed secretly, and turned to look at the fact that although it was only a few sides in front of him, whether it was him or Du Zetao in front of him, they were definitely unforgettable to each other, and they would never forget each other for the rest of their lives.

The surrounding Wang Jing and the others looked at Du Zetao, who spoke in honorifics in front of them, and couldn't help but glance at Chu Ling, who was frowning, strangely, and kept guessing the relationship between the two in their hearts.

Especially a few people such as Hong Jinbao, who knew that Du Zetao was worth hundreds of millions, and when they looked at Chu Ling, who had a handsome and young face, they couldn't help but show a sense of solemnity.

Looking at the respectful middle-aged man in front of him, Chu Ling couldn't help but sigh secretly: "What should come will come after all, and you can't hide from it." ”

"Brother Du, I haven't seen everything good for many years." Chu Ling cleaned up his mood and greeted with a smile.

"Mr. Tochu's blessing, everything has been fine in recent years." Du Zetao hurriedly said respectfully.

"Whew"

With a long sigh of relief, Chu Ling snatched the wine glass of Weng Meiling beside him, saluted him from afar, and said solemnly: "Brother Du, I used to do less and more things, and I offended a lot. ”

After speaking, Chu Ling raised his head and drank the wine.

Du Zetao looked at Chu Ling in front of him, and finally believed that the news he had received before was true, but even if the man in front of him really retreated from that position, he didn't dare to take any underestimation, raised his head and drank the wine, and still retreated respectfully.

After this incident, the atmosphere of the whole banquet became a little weird.

After seeing Du Wenze's attitude again, many of the rich people present looked at Chu Ling carefully, but their faces changed one after another, some brushed their sleeves away, some were indifferent, and many showed hatred and ridicule, of course, there was no lack of respect.

Time passed, and the party ended in an eerie atmosphere.

Sitting in the car, Weng Meiling looked at Chu Ling with a complicated face, frowned and asked, "How many people do you know in this drinking party?" How many are your enemies? ”

On the entire car, Zhao Yazhi, who was driving, Xiao Wen, who was silent, and Zhou Huimin, who was worried, all looked at Chu Ling when they heard the words.

didn't look at a few women, but Chu Ling couldn't help but think of five years ago, he took the knife boy and the four people, took the evidence of tax evasion from Du Wenze's company, and came to the door to extort, after some twists and turns, but the result was that he was intact with the most banknotes he had seen in his previous life and this life, one million Hong Kong dollars! Left the villa and started his godfather path with this money.

After half ringing.

Chu Ling closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and replied in a nostalgic tone: "Half and half." ”

At this moment.

The bloody wind and rain of those five years flowed through his mind, and vaguely, Chu Ling smelled the slightest trace of blood.
