I have a seaside five-star hotel

Chapter 492 The Mermaid and the Cartoonist
"Crack!"

“Pretty good!!!”

The crew director next to him shouted.

"Absolutely! It's great, I feel that this episode is sweeter than the ones in TV dramas."

Looking at Zhu Tingting making honey lemonade for the actress in the camera, the actress looked at Zhu Tingting's intimate appearance brightly,

Even if the two of them don't speak, they can still feel the explosive sweetness in the atmosphere.

"You are really born to be an actor!"

"How did you design it just now?"

"Even I didn't expect you to carry honey and lemon slices with you..."

The compliments from the crew fell into Zhu Tingting's ears one after another.

Zhu Tingting nodded and smiled, holding a paper bag of honey in his hand, a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes.

It's not well designed,

Rather, the habits he had developed in the past cannot be changed...

First love kills people!
Zhu Tingting threw the honey bag into the trash can next to him, and was about to go to the dressing room to take off his makeup, when his manager rushed over happily.

"Tingting, I didn't expect you to be invited to speak so soon."

"And good things come in pairs, and there are two of them."

"Really?!" Zhu Tingting was happy.

He took a look at the pad in the manager's hand,
"The image spokesperson of the Magic Century Theme Park... Isn't this the largest amusement park in the country? They came to me to be the spokesperson?"

Zhu Tingting was excited.

He who was still in the bitterness of his first love just now was shocked by the joy of endorsement in an instant, and his eyes gleamed wildly.

"What's the other one? Summer Cafe?"

"What brand is this?"

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

Zhu Tingting had a thoughtful look on his face.

He has been filming all over the year and drank a lot of coffee, but he has never heard of this brand.

Immediately, Zhu Tingting lost interest.

"Don't underestimate this coffee shop, it has a rich background!" the agent said quickly.

"The boss behind him is actually the boss of the Lion Castle Hotel, and also your old boss, Chen Jianhai."

Zhu Tingting: If you say this, I won't be sleepy! ! !

He hurriedly read Xia Rimo's endorsement invitation carefully,
"Accept! I will accept this endorsement!"

"I can pick it up for free!!"

Before Zhu Tingting finished speaking, he was frightened by the manager's eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"You are a free endorsement, what are you going to pay us for?"

Zhu Tingting lost his momentum immediately, and sighed resentfully.

In the past, he was a loner, fighting alone, and the whole family was not hungry when he was full.

But now that he has signed a contract with a brokerage company, he still has a team of people waiting to eat,

I can no longer be as unrestrained as before.

"A hotel endorsement and a coffee endorsement, if you can get both, you can get more advanced endorsements slowly!"

The more the agent said, the brighter his eyes became.

But Zhu Tingting was a little worried when he heard it.

Although I have been filming recently, I have less communication with my boss,
But on weekdays, I still have contacts with Lin Suyang, electricians, and plumbing.

Chen Jianhai opened the Lion Castle Hotel, and they are fighting with the Magic Century Theme Park next door. The two parties are still in a competitive relationship.

I accepted the boss's summer coffee endorsement, what about the Magic Century Theme Park?
Looking at the agent next to him who was negotiating the price and work content with the other party, Zhu Tingting felt a little headache...

Lion Castle Hotel
7 o'clock in the evening.

Pang Xuehen trembled all over, and opened his eyes violently amidst the yell.

At this moment, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat, the veins on his forehead were bulging, his hands were tightly clutching the sheets, and he was panting violently.

The moment I opened my eyes,

Pang Xuehen looked around in horror, as if confirming something.

"It's not a dream..."

"It's not a dream..."

With two low murmurs, Pang Xuehen got up from the bed with hands and feet together,
Grabbing the paintbrush next to him, shaking his hands, he quickly drew on the drawing paper while wiping the sweat dripping from his forehead.

at his feet,
There were seven or eight sketches of paintings scattered on the carpet,

Every picture is weird and abnormal, even if it is just an outline without refinement, you can strongly feel the depressive emotions in it, and you will feel breathless and uncomfortable all over after just looking at it.

歘, 歘.

歘歘...

rustling.

The rough friction between the tip of the pen and the drawing paper made a small but dense sound,

Maybe it's because there is no TV in the room,
Or maybe the hotel's sound insulation is really good,
The house is eerily quiet,

Except for Pang Xuehen's breathing and the rubbing of the pen tip, he couldn't hear anything.

After about an hour or so, a sketch with a strange and frightening style appeared on the easel.

"call……"

Pang Xuehen stared at the painting in front of him, even if it was from his own hands, his scalp felt numb.

He loosened the frame,
The draft fluttered to the carpet again.

Re-sharpened the pencil, arranged the new drawing paper,

Pang Xuehen went to the toilet and took a drink.

Then he sat on the bed again and leaned back.

In less than five seconds, the whole person fell asleep again.

……

Lion Castle Hotel reception hall
"What happened to the customer in 1703?"

"Since he checked in in the morning until now, it seems that he has not been seen going out."

"Are you sure?"

"Maybe they went out directly from the elf tower, and didn't go through the main entrance of the hotel."

"impossible!"

"The boss is afraid that something will happen to 1703, so he specially put a camera in 1703 facing the corridor, just to let us know the situation of the guests at any time."

"He hasn't come out since the guest checked in in the morning."

The girl at the reception desk was very worried and told Lin Suyang about the situation.

Lin Suyang was also a little confused.

"It can't be a problem... Usually, it doesn't happen until the night of 1703?"

After such a long time, there are already a few guests staying in 1703,

But they only ran out in the middle of the night when they had accidents, and they had never heard of accidents during the day.

"Let's observe and observe again?"

"After all, it's only past eight o'clock in the evening, and the righteousness of the news network is still floating in the vast land. It should be fine, right???"

The little girl at the front desk glanced at Lin Suyang, and said awkwardly:
"But our hotel rooms don't have TVs either."

Lin Suyang: ...

Just when everyone in the Lion Castle Hotel was worried about Pang Xuehen's situation,
Pang Xuehen in room 1703 was startled awake again, and was sitting on a stool in a cold sweat and frantically drawing.

This hotel is simply to die for.

He has nightmares whenever he touches the pillow.

Dreams are bizarre,
Not only ghosts and monsters,

He even took him to shrink in the basement alone, living a dark day without a meal, and his works could not be published.

And the content of each dream is different, the more night, the more real the dream,
He even had a dream within a dream just now!
False and real, when he opened his eyes a few times, he couldn't be sure whether he had woken up or was in a dream.

All in all, this 1703 is simply heaven! ! !
After finishing drawing the draft in his hand, Pang Xuehen let out a long breath.

He rubbed his swollen temples, took out a box of instant noodles from his bag, boiled some hot water and poured it into the noodle bucket.

"Fortunately, I brought a few barrels of instant noodles with me when I came here, otherwise it would be really difficult to get something to eat at such a late hour."

Pang Xuehen stared at the bucket of instant noodles with a new flavor, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

"This transformation...can it really be successful?"

The current market is very resistant to things like Hei Shen Can.

Life is already hard, and everyone is willing to read sweet, happy and relaxing things. No one wants to open a comic in their free time, but still be abused.

Although there are fire comics like this,
But they also used cute and cute character shapes and small fresh painting styles in the early stage to retain the audience.

Then, as the plot continued to advance, the dark and cruel side was revealed layer by layer, making people scold their mothers while updating.

And not to mention the content of my own works,
Just the painting style is quite dark and weird,

Even if the plot of the story is as plain as water, just drawing some daily life of the protagonist will make people feel like a horror story, and it will give people a feeling of scalp numbness after watching it for a long time.

In fact, with his painting style, painting ghost stories is the most suitable.

But it didn't work,
It is not recommended to draw these things now. I managed to recklessly write two ghost comics before, but they were banned within two days of drawing.

There is no way but to transform.

It's just that the process of transformation is... so difficult.

His painting style and brushstrokes are almost infused with his blood. As soon as he puts his hands on the paper, those thick layouts are presented on the paper uncontrollably,

Sometimes after painting for a long time, he himself is afraid.

After drinking all the instant noodles with soup, Pang Xuehen burped, picked up the drawings from the carpet, and checked them one by one.

Every painting is a nightmare.

"If we add more light and shadow, brighten up the picture, and post it on the illustration website, there may be a wave."

Pang Xuehen looked at the drawing with satisfaction.

Although he wanted to sleep a few more times for inspiration,

But the body and brain just can't stand it.

If he lay in bed to sleep again, he would be driven mad.

Left and right dare not sleep,

Pang Xuehen simply picked up the pen and carefully polished the sketch just now,
Time passed minute by minute,

By the time Pang Xuehen put down his brush and rubbed his sore neck wearily, it was already 1:[-] in the middle of the night.

"It's all over..."

Pang Xuehen stood up and walked to the window,

In the middle of the night, the Lion Lake Fort stands quietly under the moonlight, the golden lights are lit in the rose lamp stand, and the chirping of insects can be faintly heard.

“The night view of this hotel is great!”

"Go out for a walk."

Pang Xuehen stretched.

For such a long time, he has been living a life of day and night upside down, often sleeping until almost noon before getting up, and after eating and painting, he goes out for a night run at night.

Today he slept all day, and he is not sleepy now,

It's not bad to go out and see the night view of the hotel.

Thinking of this, Pang Xuehen unceremoniously put on the elf robe given by the hotel, put on the hood, and walked out of the door of the room.

……

Front desk on the first floor of the hotel.

The little girl at the front desk was chatting secretly with the security staff on duty at night.

Usually no one comes at this time, they can also relax a little bit, sneak some snacks and touch fish by the way.

"It's almost 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, why hasn't this person come out yet?"

"Yes, my bed is ready for him."

"Tell me, is it possible that he's fine~ This night has passed so peacefully?"

"Pull it down... Do you think everyone is as fierce as our boss?"

"For such a long time, except for our boss, I have never seen anyone so big-hearted."

"You all don't know, when we rushed into 1703 with Brother Lang that morning, the boss was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, still drooling."

"Tangha Lazi? I heard that you are crying with your eyes closed?"

"Hehe, can our boss cry???"

"That's the tear he just shed after yawning! It's all over his face!"

……

Just when several people hissed in low voices, whether Chen Jianhai was crying or moaning that morning,
The next elevator suddenly lit up.

"someone is coming!"

"Can you be a guest of 1703??"

Several people glanced at each other, and hurried back to their respective jobs, ready to welcome the guests coming downstairs.

Then, the elevator doors opened.

The picture of crying and pissing and howling in the imagination did not appear,
Instead, a young man in an elf robe walked out of the elevator very calmly.

"Hello sir."

"Hello~"

"Hello sir."

Several people warmly greeted Pang Xuehen.

"Hi there,"

Pang Xuehen didn't expect that there were so many people at the front desk at such a late hour, which really shocked him.

After simply greeting the few of them, Pang Xuehen didn't dare to linger any longer, and went straight to the green lake outside.

At this time, the internal phone of the girl at the front desk rang:

"How is it? Have you arranged it?"

Front desk girl:? ? ?
Hotel employee: "The guest of 1703, I saw from the surveillance that he just went to the main building, didn't he go to you?"

Front desk girl:! ! !
At this time, Pang Xuehen, who had attracted the attention of the girl at the front desk and the hotel staff, was walking along the white cobblestone road, among the grass by the lake.

This lake is so beautiful!
During the day, the emerald green and flat surface of the lake is steaming with dense water vapor under the silver moonlight, mixed with the night, presenting in front of Pang Xuehen's eyes half hazy and half dreamy.

"what?"

what is that?
Suddenly, Pang Xuehen's footsteps stopped, and his eyes were fixed on the center of the lake.

In the center of the emerald green and dark lake, a warm orange light suddenly lit up at this moment.

In an instant,
A hexagonal golden candy jar carousel lights up in the middle of the lake.

Almost at the moment when the golden candy jar carousel appeared, large ripples surged on the calm lake instantly, as if there were huge creatures swimming towards the lake from the depths under the lake.

"Is this the purification device under the lake?"

Pang Xuehen became interested.

He had always been curious about how the lake water in this kind of interior never stinks and was always kept clean.

Now that he finally has a chance, he can finally take this opportunity to open his eyes

Thinking of this, Pang Xuehen couldn't help but took two more steps forward, wanting to see more clearly.

in the next moment,
6 beautiful and huge tails burst out of the lake suddenly, with smooth lines attached to golden scales, shining incomparably dazzling and charming luster under the moonlight, making people unable to take their eyes off at all.

"This is……"

Pang Xuehen opened his eyes wide in shock, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief.

Maybe it's because he's been wandering between nightmares and lucidity in 1703 all day,
Or maybe he is still having a dream within a dream,
Joyful and dreamy notes dance under the colorful lights,

The elf in the lake has soft long hair, swings a gorgeous lotus-like tail on the carousel, spreads his arms, stretches his swan-like neck, and sings the silver moonlight.

Throughout his life, Pang Xuehen had never seen such a beautiful and dazzling creature.

"So beautiful……"

Pang Xuehen murmured, unable to move his eyes away from the scene in front of him.

Is it a dream?
