Lord of Puro

Chapter 238: Digging the Roots

In the Lu family mansion, Lu Yuanhai laughed and said, "How funny you think it is. Ling Miaoying made such a big fuss, but the movie he was filming was burned down! I laughed for a whole hour because of this."

Lu Yuanshan did not smile. He was older than Lu Yuanhai and had a longer-term perspective on some things.

"Uncle Qiu, do you think this is an opportunity?"

Qiu Zhiheng looked at Lu Yuanshan: "You also want to make a movie?"

"Ling Miaoying's idea is really good. Let's make ten movies together. If we can make it happen..."

Madam Duan Shaoxia said from the side: "Yuanshan, have you ever made a movie? We can't reach out to things we are not sure about."

Lu Yuanshan said: "Just because we are not sure, why don't we discuss this with Uncle Qiu?"

Qiu Zhiheng was in no hurry to speak, he had to consider this matter carefully.

Lu Yuanhai said: "I think it can work. It all depends on the actors. As long as the actors are famous, the movie will definitely sell well."

Duan Shaoxia rolled her eyes at Lu Yuanhai: "It's easy for you to say, actors are so easy to find. The Ling family has the ability to invite divas. I heard that they even fake it and make it real. Do you have this ability?"

"The movies I made were not serious."

Lu Yuanhai nodded: "He is really the stuff! I heard that he has made movies before, but ordinary theaters dare not show them because they are said to be indecent!"

Hou Qiu understood the pros and cons here, but he was unsure: "Since we don't have the bottom line, let's find someone who has the bottom line to do this."

Lu Yuanshan said impatiently: "This is not to cheat him, but to help him. We can give him some money, and both families will benefit."

Qiu Zhiheng nodded and said: "We will pay half of the money and let Ma Wu raise the remaining half.

Lu Yuanhai sneered: "What kind of ability is this? Those singers and movie queens, as long as you give them enough money, you can let them do anything, let alone fake it, you just let them do it from beginning to end..."

Lu Yuanshan sighed and said, "It's hard to talk to you. I'm not just talking about this movie, but this entire industry! There's a lot of money in this industry!"

It's just our first time wading into the water. If the business fails, it's a trivial matter to pay some money. I'm afraid it will cost the Lu family's reputation, and it will be difficult to get involved in this business in the future. "

"Promise, why don't you agree? Haven't you ever made a movie?"

"I've seen it, and I think it's quite serious."

"They have already carried out a deadly attack." Li Banfeng did not tell the story of what happened. He only told the methods and techniques used by Ling Miaoying.

Ma Wu was still a little worried: "The Ling family has invested heavily in this movie. If we get ahead of them, I'm afraid Ling Miaoying will kill us."

If we lose money, we won’t lose much, and it won’t damage the Lu family’s reputation.

After making money, let's eat the fat of this business together, so we won't treat him badly. "

Duan Shaoxia advised from the side: "You guys, don't always think about cheating Jun Yang. I heard that if you make a mistake in the film industry, you will lose all your money. Jun Yang's foundation is not as good as ours, how can he withstand this torture? "

Lu Yuanshan frowned and said, "Don't talk about these things. Let's get down to business. Ling Miaoying is going to reshoot this movie. If we can shoot it before them, this piece of fat will be ours!"

"Lao Qi, do you think you can agree to this?"

……

In Xiaoyaowu, Ma Wu and Li Banfeng discussed the movie.

"Is it fat?" Lu Yuanhai didn't think how much money a movie could make.

Lu Yuanshan put on his clothes and said, "I'll go find Ma Wu right now."

Lu Yuanshan thought for a while and said, "The only thing a person with a solid foundation can think of is Ma Wu."

Now he is more concerned about another thing: "How did we end up with the Ling family?"

Ma Wu has been thinking about this issue, but apart from Lu Xiaolan, he can't think of any other clues.

"For Lu Xiaolan? Is she worth it?"

Li Banfeng would never believe that Ling Miaoying came to target Li Banfeng and Ma Wu because of Lu Xiaolan's beauty. What kind of woman has Ling Miaoying not seen?

"It's also possible that we became successful too quickly and the Ling family wanted to suppress us in advance."

"Are we worthy of it?" Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "You once said that the Ling family is the fifth largest family in Puluo Prefecture. How can the fifth largest family have this much ambition? To kill two little people who have just started their business? ?

They make newspapers, records, and movies. We have never had any involvement in these things. How can we have such a big reputation that we can attract their attention?

There is something going on here, there is someone behind them, this person needs to be found out! "

This was not the only thing that was ignored, there was another person who was ignored by Li Banfeng.

When the lanterns first came on, Li Banfeng went to the Miaosheng Record Player Store.

The storefront is still so small, but smallness has small advantages.

Since Ling Miaoying's accident, the Miaosheng Record Player Store has been smashed up more than a dozen times. Fortunately, they were all smashed in the foyer. The inside of the record player store is too complicated, and most people don't have the ability to break in. People who are capable don't bother to do such a thing.

Behind the dilapidated counter, Ling Miaosheng was dozing off as usual. When he saw a customer coming, he raised his head and showed a smile.

He recognized Li Banfeng. Although Li Banfeng's appearance had changed somewhat, as a high-level spy, he still recognized this regular customer.

"Are you here to buy a record player, or are you here for revenge? If you are here for revenge, just do it. Unfortunately, I don't have many things that I can smash."

Li Banfeng looked at the door curtain behind Ling Miaosheng: "If I remember correctly, all the good things are in there, right?"

Ling Miaosheng shook her head slightly: "You can't just smash the things inside, it's my life." "I'm here to buy a record player, you have to let me see the goods."

Ling Miaosheng nodded and led Li Banfeng into the back room.

The clerks who were originally responsible for cleaning each room have disappeared, and no one dares to work here at Ling Miaosheng.

Li Banfeng looked at several record players, selected a hand-cranked record player, and prepared to pay for it.

The sound of this record player is good, of course it can't be compared with the Niangzi, but the record player is made in Amican, and the parts are the same as the Niangzi.

Ling Miaosheng confiscated Li Banfeng's money: "I gave this record player to you to express my previous apology. Don't worry, I checked carefully and there is no hook on the record player."

Li Banfeng shook the rocker, and the record player played soothing violin music.

"Can I ask you something?"

Ling Miaosheng guessed what Li Banfeng was going to ask and answered directly: "I don't know most of the things about the eldest brother and the third child. They planted hooks in my shop and record player. In fact, I don't know much."

Li Banfeng didn't believe it: "You are also a peep cultivator, and your level is very high, but you can't see their hook?"

Ling Miaosheng smiled bitterly and said: "You are right. I am indeed a spy. I am not boasting. My cultivation level is higher than that of the eldest brother and the third child. But when looking for hooks, you can't just look at your cultivation level, but also your scheming.

In such a big store, with so many record players, a hook is like a needle. I can't imagine where they put the hook.

To this day, there are still a lot of hooks in the record player stores, but I can't find them. I may never know where they buried them.

The only thing I know is that they are working for a big shot, and that big shot is now out of state. I don’t know what their purpose is, nor what their next plan is. "

Li Banfeng remained silent. Ling Miaosheng packed up the record player himself and handed it to Li Banfeng.

"You may still not believe me, and that's okay. If you want to have a fight, let's go out and don't break my record player."

Li Banfeng lowered his bowler hat, picked up the record player, and left the record player store.

Ling Miaosheng took off her hat, put it on her chest, bowed, and watched Li Banfeng go away.

……

Back at Xiaoyaowu, Li Banfeng hummed the song "Tuberose" on the record player. There was no sound of the hook breaking on the record player.

Ling Miaosheng was most likely telling the truth. No more information could be found from him, and the clues were still with Ling Miaoying.

A big shot from out of state.

Who could it be?

……

"Jia Qing, your friend went to my second brother's record player store today and bought a record player."

"Just buying a record player? I guess he doesn't have the leisure time," He Jiaqing said with a smile, "He should have gone to ask your second brother about something."

"I also suspect that he asked something, but the second brother has cleared most of the hooks. What they said is not clear yet. I plan to ask the second brother."

"You should know your second brother's temperament. It's useless to ask. My brother is here to dig deeper. Your second brother doesn't know much to begin with. I'm worried that he will look for you next."

Ling Miaoying nodded: "It's best if he comes to me. I suspect that the fire is related to him. This time I can just end it with him."

"No!" He Jiaqing's tone was firm, "We must do a good job in reshooting the movie. There must be no more mistakes in this matter.

Change the male lead and find another actor. "

"Zhou Changhong is the best actor, and you know this."

"Just because he's the best actor, there's something else for him to do."

……

The next day, the newspaper published the news that Lingjia Pictures was reshooting "Blood Blade Detective". Ma Wu frowned and said: "They started so quickly. They haven't found all the actors for me, but they have already started filming."

Li Banfeng had been to the filming site several times and was quite familiar with the main actors. After reading the newspaper, he found that the cast list had changed: "Why has the leading actor been replaced?"

Ma Wu looked at it carefully: "They replaced Zhou Changhong. This man is a good actor and I can get him to work for me. It's just that he has been with Ling Miaoying for seven or eight years. I don't know if he is willing to defect to me."

Ma Wu immediately sent someone to contact Zhou Changhong, but learned that this man left Green Water Bay yesterday.

Where did he go?

That night, Ma Wu learned from the customs envoy that Zhou Changhong had gone to another state.

"If he's not filming here, why would he go to another state?" Ma Wu didn't quite understand, "Does it mean he wants to act in a movie out of state?"

He followed Ling Miaoying for seven or eight years. When Ling Miaoying was eager to make movies again, he ran away from another state.

Out of state...

Li Banfeng said to Ma Wu: "Always pay attention to this person's movements and tell me as soon as you have any news."

Two days later, the news came.

Ma Wu said: "Zhou Changhong is back, but he didn't take the role. I heard that he is still working as a road guide and will be going out again in the next two days."

Li Banfeng said: "Keep an eye on his whereabouts and get me a similar guide. I'll see if he is a messenger or a big shot from out of state."

PS: Zhou Changhong is the best actor, this is not just a casual statement.
