Entertainment starts from Xiangjiang

Chapter 43: Scenery under the Dark Curtain (please recommend)

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

?”

"A-Ling, is there something wrong with your eyes? Why are you always looking at me?" Wang Jing blinked his eyes inexplicably and asked vaguely.

"I...fuck."

If it weren't for the few beauties present, Chu Ling would have cut the fat man into pieces, but thanks to Wang Jing, the somewhat depressing atmosphere just now finally dissipated.

I just don’t know why, but Chu Ling always feels that the eyes of several people are looking at him a little strange. What makes him especially angry is that even King Liu Tianwang looks at him with the same eyes. This makes him burst into tears. Brother, that’s not good.

One bite.

"A-Ling, now that "Wulin Gaiden" and "Nightclub" have been released, do you have any plans for the second half of the year? I really want to cooperate with you." Liu Tianwang put away his somewhat complicated emotions and smiled.

asked.

"call"

Feeling that the strange sight finally disappeared, Chu Ling couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. In response to Liu Tianwang's question, he shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I have squandered all my money. At this stage, I can only draw comics at home. What are you waiting for?"

Let’s talk about it when the money arrives.”

"drawing comic?"

Liu Tianwang and others all looked at Chu Ling in shock. You must know that Chu Ling, who has acted in three dramas, has already gained a good reputation in the actor industry, not to mention the two dramas he directed, but in the audience

No one thought that Chu Ling would actually talk about drawing comics.

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

Shrugging his shoulders, Chu Ling said helplessly: "That's the fact. Not only does no one come to me to film, but no one even comes to me to act."

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

As soon as Chu Ling finished speaking, Wang Jing, who was standing aside, wiped his mouth and interjected with an envious look on his face: "It's not that no one wants to hire you to film, but that everyone doesn't know what price to hire you for?"

Hearing this, not only King Liu Tianwang and others were stunned, but even Chu Ling looked confused.

After glancing at a few people, Wang Jing said with some jealousy: "Everyone in the circle now knows that TVB gave you 10 million just for a movie called "Wulin Gaiden". Who dares to hire you? The price is too high."

If you lose money and the price is too low, you are asking for trouble."

Hearing this, Zhao Ya and others who knew about this matter nodded in understanding, but Lin Qingxia, who heard about it for the first time, couldn't help being surprised. He looked at Chu Ling carefully again, but found that the other party

Become mysterious.

"Ten million is useless." Chu Ling said helplessly: "The money that comes into my hands is mine, and the money that doesn't come into my hands belongs to others. Now not only have I not made any money, I also owe money."

It’s hundreds of thousands.”

at this time.

"A-Ling, why are you short of money? If you are short of money, tell me and I can still come up with tens or even millions." Hong Jinbao walked over surrounded by Xu Ke, Yuan Biao and the others and said grandly.

.

Seeing several people coming over, Chu Ling and others quickly smiled and said a few polite words and introduced each of them.

Chu Ling then said nonchalantly: "I was just joking. I was busy enough in the first half of the year, and I will be busy again in the second half when the funds are in place. During this period, I plan to practice my painting skills and prepare

Publish a comic."

"comics?!"

Hong Jinbao and others who heard this for the first time couldn't help but be startled and looked at Chu Ling with strange eyes.

He was stunned for a moment.

Shi Nansheng, who knew a lot about comics, couldn't help but frowned and said worriedly: "The most popular comics company in Xiangjiang is Huang Yulang's Yulang International. Not to mention Huang Yulang as the boss, it is Ma Rongcheng and Feng Zhiming.

, Dick and others are all comic masters, so it would be difficult for them to stand out here."

Hong Jinbao also frowned and said: "In Xiangjiang, except for Yulang International, everyone else is basically a small business, and it is difficult to get ahead. Unless you go to Japan, the comic atmosphere there is relatively good now. There should be

It’s a big deal.”

Hearing this, Chu Ling nodded gratefully and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, one thing doesn't bother two masters. My novel is serialized in "Starlight", and the comics I drew will let them set up another comic magazine and continue serialization.

That’s my comic.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Except for Zhao Yazhi who guessed that "Starlight News" belonged to Chu Ling, no one else knew that. Because of this, everyone present couldn't help but feel that Chu Ling's tone was a bit too loud.

, even if "Starlight" became famous because of his novels, it is absolutely impossible to rashly establish a comic magazine just because of his words. After all, newspapers and comics

Magazines are two concepts. Although they have something in common, they must not be confused.

Seeing the disbelief in the eyes of the people present, Chu Ling didn't say anything. After all, no one would have thought that "Starlight", one of the three major newspapers in Hong Kong, was actually his company.

Seeing Chu Ling's calm look, the people in Hong Jinbao stopped talking. After all, they were really not familiar with Chu Ling. It was better not to worry too much about some things. This kind of thing is very difficult for the complicated world of "Hongjin".

For those who have been in the circle for many years, they can see it very clearly.

Immediately, a group of people from the entertainment industry gathered together, and of course they inevitably talked about common topics: celebrities, scandals, and gossip.

A group of more than a dozen people gathered together to talk freely, but little did they know that this small circle in the corner had already become the focus of the reception.

After all, not to mention the big brothers in the entertainment industry such as Hong Jinbao, there are countless beauties in Guangdong who can be counted on one hand. And at such a banquet, female stars are naturally the targets of the rich.

In the center of the hotel, two men in their forties, who were surrounded by several female stars, were chatting happily and clinking their wine glasses. There were expressions of satisfaction on their faces. It was obvious that in just a moment, the two of them had been together.

A tacit willingness to cooperate was reached.

In addition to being happy and having achieved his goal, one of the middle-aged men wearing a white suit and elegant temperament couldn't help but admire the beauty, and his eyes naturally focused on Chu Ling's circle in the corner.

"The entertainment industry is becoming more and more developed now, and it makes me want to get in and get a chance."

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

Hearing this, another middle-aged man who looked slightly rich smiled and said: "Since Brother Du has this idea, why don't I also get involved, and we two brothers..."

Speaking of which.

The rich middle-aged man saw the gaffe of his new friend in front of him. He couldn't help but stop talking and followed his gaze to the corner where Chu Ling was. However, after a closer look, they were all celebrities, and there was nothing special about them.

The presence of the big shot made him frown involuntarily.

Before the rich middle-aged man could speak, the middle-aged man known as Brother Du said apologetically: "Sorry, Brother Li, I saw an acquaintance. I'm going to say hello."

After saying that, he quickly walked towards the corner where Chu Ling was, regardless of Brother Li, who looked stunned, and several female stars who were trying their best to show off their talents.

"Mr. Chu, I heard that you went to the United States in the early years. I didn't expect that you had returned to Hong Kong. It was disrespectful to not come to visit you. Don't be surprised, Mr. Chu."

Hearing this, Chu Ling frowned and sighed secretly. He turned around and looked at the people in front of him. Although they had only met each other a few times, both he and Du Zetao in front of him were absolutely devoted to each other and would never forget each other in their lives.

The Wang Jings around looked at Du Zetao, who spoke in honorifics in front of them, and couldn't help but glance strangely at Chu Ling, who was frowning, and they kept guessing about the relationship between the two.

Especially when they knew that Du Zetao was one of the few people including Hong Jinbao, who had a net worth of hundreds of millions, when he looked at the handsome and young Chu Ling, he couldn't help but show a dignified expression.

Looking at the respectful middle-aged man in front of him, Chu Ling couldn't help but sigh to himself: "What is supposed to come will eventually come. You can't avoid it."

"Brother Du, it's been so long since I've seen everything." Chu Ling calmed down and greeted with a smile.

"Thanks to Mr. Chu, everything has gone well in recent years." Du Zetao said quickly and respectfully.

"call"

Heaving a long sigh of relief, Chu Ling took the wine glass from Weng Meiling next to him, saluted him from a distance, and said solemnly: "Brother Du, in the past, I had many troubles and offended many people. Let's drink this cup together today, and everything in the past will be blown away by the wind."

, I’ll do it first out of respect.”

After saying that, 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. However, even if the man in front of him really stepped down from that position, he did not dare to look down upon him. He raised his head and drank the wine, still remaining

Retired with a respectful look.

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

After seeing Du Wenze's attitude again, many wealthy people present looked at Chu Ling carefully, but their expressions changed one after another. Some walked away with their sleeves, some had indifference on their faces, and many even showed hatred and mockery. Of course,

There is no shortage of respect either.

Time passed and the reception ended in a weird atmosphere.

Sitting in the car, Weng Meiling looked solemnly at Chu Ling, who looked complicated, frowned and asked: "How many people do you know at this cocktail party? How many are your enemies?"

In the entire car, Zhao Yazhi who was driving, Xiao Wen who was silent, and Zhou Huimin who looked worried all looked at Chu Ling after hearing this.

Without looking at the women, Chu Ling couldn't help but recall that five years ago, he brought four men with knives and evidence of tax evasion by Du Wenze's company and came to blackmail them. After some twists and turns, it turned out that he brought them with him intact.

He left the villa with the most money he had ever seen in his past life, one million Hong Kong dollars, and used the money to start his own journey to become a godfather.

After half a ring.

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

at this moment.

The bloody storm of those five years passed through his mind, and Chu Ling could vaguely smell the smell of blood.
