On the Hundred Ways of Chasing Mermaids

The last afterglow of the setting sun is reflected on the petals of the roses in the garden, and contrasts with the snow that has not disappeared on the top of the distant mountains.The green grass and green trees are lush and verdant. If they were not wearing coats, the visitors might really think that they are in midsummer.

The gate of the old castle was opened, and the scarlet carpet was spread on the ground, extending far into the old castle.The servants, dressed in uniform, stood upright on the red carpet twice, respectfully saluting the distinguished guests.

"welcome."

Yan Yu's group walked over the red carpet cautiously, their eyes quickly swept across the flawless faces of the servants, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Any one of them here has more than enough aptitude to enter the entertainment circle...

"Dinner is ready, please come with me."

Butler Jack was waiting at the door, and when he saw that the guests had arrived, he clapped his hands, the lights in the dome lit up, and everything in the banquet hall clearly appeared in front of the guests——

The crystal chandelier exudes soft light, and there are strange oil paintings hanging on the walls, with irregular lines and strong color styles, and the baroque style is brought to the extreme here.

"Look at the top!" Someone exclaimed in a low voice.

Lanxi's group raised their heads involuntarily, and stood there in a daze—in the painted painting on the dome, the angel who was supposed to be high above broke off his wings and fell to the ground with a painful expression. demon.

Zhao Xiaotao shivered involuntarily.

The butler looked at them with a smile, noncommittal.After the group recovered from their astonishment, they slowly invited the guests to sit down.

In front of him, the long table covered with a blood-red tablecloth was covered with all kinds of delicacies, and the wine in the bottle reflected the blood-red halo under the reflection of the crystal lamp.

Confused by the atmosphere, Zhao Xiaotao muttered in a low voice: "We won't enter the vampire's castle, will we?"

Lan Xi couldn't help raising her head when she heard this, and glanced at Zhao Xiaotao.

——I didn't expect Zhao Xiaotao to have such eyesight!

Zhao Xiaotao felt uncomfortable: "...you, what do you see me doing? I'm joking!"

Soon, the vampire that Zhao Xiaotao was talking about, and the nine-tailed fox that Zhao Xiaotao would never be able to guess appeared together, coming towards them from far and near.

As a sign of respect, the two of them put on formal attire to welcome guests. The medieval-style gowns are gorgeous and complicated, which just complemented the style of the castle.

Everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on their faces.

——There is no doubt that whether it is Vic who is pale but full of vigor, or Qingxi who has disappeared for a long time and still has charm, the arrival of the two of them is like a thunderstorm in the middle of the night, blasting the hearts of the visitors.

"The owner here is Qingxi?"

"Who is the person beside Qingxi? What is their relationship?"

After all, Qingxi has been a presence in China's entertainment industry for many years, and when she first appeared, she captured the attention of most people present.The visitors didn't show their faces, but their eyes were glued to him uncontrollably, and the little flame of gossip in their hearts was burning brightly.

Unlike other curious people, Lanxi looked at the two people who came together, her heart sank.

His eyes glanced over his old friend, and he easily landed on the person beside Qingxi. At the same time, faint doubts arose——Different from the last time we met, this vampire named Vic... seemed a little weak .

The face of the other party was still pale, and although the hair was meticulously taken care of, under the light, the dim color of the hair accidentally exposed the hidden secret.

"Xiaoxi!" Qingxi sat down, turned his head, and saw the mermaid in a daze, he raised his wine glass, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Why, I'm dumbfounded?"

Long time no see, still that familiar tune.

"Mr. Lan, please." With a smile on his lips, the blood clan also raised his glass and motioned to Lan Xi.The tone is elegant and deep, like a cello whispering.Between gestures, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

"Thank you for the hospitality." Lan Xi knew that the other party had no intention of mentioning it, so she withdrew her probing gaze, pursed her lips, raised her glass, and drank it down.

However, the blood-red wine entered her throat, but curiosity lingered in her heart, lingering.

---

There is a six-hour time difference between Yiguo and Huaguo, so when Lanxi was lying on the bed after taking a shower, Xuanmo had just started working.

"There seems to be something wrong with Vic's body, and Qingxi's attitude is also weird, but they... I always feel that there is something they don't want to tell me." Lanxi confided to Xuanmo on the phone.The guest room arranged for him is more than a hundred square meters, and the decoration style of the deep sea should be the master's deliberate arrangement.

Xuan Mo listened quietly to the little mermaid's complaints, swipe across rows of documents with his fingers, and suddenly paused.

...in the wrong order.

"They probably have their own considerations, so don't worry." Xuan Mo comforted, leaning over to examine the documents carefully, after a while, a little smile appeared in his eyes, like the bright stars in the night sky.

"What's the matter?" Lancey couldn't help asking in silence on the other side of the receiver.

Xuan Mo lowered his voice: "The fish is hooked."

The guy Xuan Mo called "Fish" was lying on the sofa basking in the sun at the moment.The warm winter sun penetrated through the window and shone on his body, creating some warmth for no reason. He wagged his tail comfortably and turned over. Xiaobai pricked up his ears and paid attention to the movement in the study.

Looking at the closed door of the study, the secret he had spied before could not help appearing in his mind.

That Taotie... for the filming of "Primitive Era", many years of savings have been put into it, and the filming is not going well. On the surface, it seems to be beautiful, but in fact, it is already burnt out.

An ancient ferocious beast was so fussy about human currency. Thinking of this, Xiaobai couldn't help lowering his head to hide the ironic smile in his eyes—but that's right, even if the Taotie is profound, it can't hide his greed and coldness. nature.

Suddenly the door of the study was pulled open, followed by fierce questioning voices——

"Application for funding? Where did the previous money go? What do you mean you can't find an actor without money?"

"No, there is no more! If you can do it, you can, if you can't, change!"

Xuan Mo walked out of the study, with a frosty face, holding the phone so hard, as if he wanted to destroy everything.Even with a distance of more than ten meters, Xiaobai could still feel the anger surging on the opponent.

Seeing the other party's eyes sweeping towards this side, Xiaobai quickly lowered his head, shrunk into a ball, and minimized the sense of presence.Waiting for the person to go out angrily, Xiaobai jumped off the sofa excitedly, and ran around the house with his tail between his legs.

It turned out that besides the mermaid, Taotie also cared about other things!

... Then, what about destroying everything the other party cherishes?He seemed to be a little impatient to see this wonderful picture!

Just as Xiaobai was jumping with joy, Xuan Mo was also discussing this matter with Lan Xi.

After listening to Xuan Mo's narration, Lan Xi felt a bit like a fairy tale: "...Are you sure, he will believe it?"

Taotie is not a brave man, so how can he care about every detail because of money?What's more, even in his eyes, this plot is full of flaws, as shrewd as Bai Qi, how could he believe it?

Xuan Mo stopped the car, closed the car door, and asked, "Do you believe it or not, is it important?"

Bai Qi hibernates at home just to find their flaws.I haven't gotten it for a long time, so I can't help feeling impetuous.Now that there is a small discovery, it is like a greedy hungry man, even if it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, he can't help but rush on it first.

Conceited people believe more in what they see than in hearsay.What's more, when it comes to economics, Bai Qi's flattery can't keep up with himself who has been immersed in this way for many years.

There is no intention to calculate mentally, but it is the case.

Obviously, Lanxi on the other side of the microphone also thought of this, and smiled: "That's right, I'm afraid Xiaobai didn't think that you would deceive people."

In the eyes of others, Xuan Mo's image has always been taciturn, with a bit of aloofness, but they don't know that such an honest person is even more unexpected when he plots against others.

More importantly, Bai Qi... I'm afraid he hasn't realized that he has been exposed.

Pushing open the door of the office, Chen Shu was already waiting aside.Xuan Mo motioned him to wait a moment, turned his head, and corrected helplessly: "This is called strategy." He didn't want to leave the impression of a liar in the little mermaid's heart.

After saying a few more words, Xuan Mo hung up the phone, turned around, and saw Director Chen looking at him with a smile.

"how?"

Chen Shu smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I just think you have a good eye."

Before Mr. Zhuo insisted on using Lan Xi as a supporting role, due to the relationship between the two, Chen Shu couldn't say much, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.Now?Now he is almost jumping up with excitement, okay?

In addition to "The Prosperity" proving his acting skills and the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala, there are also people who are interested in finding out that since Lanxi's debut, no matter whether it is the films he made or the songs he sang, none of them are unknown.

Which director doesn't love this kind of hot actor?

No, just recently, those colleagues of his, who did not know where they got the news of Lancey's next play, called one after another, and the sourness in their tone almost broke through the sky.

While Chen Shu was secretly refreshed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.At least the box office is nothing to worry about.

However, if this line of business, Lanxi can win an award at the Water City Film Festival... Chen Shu hurriedly forced himself to stop, shook his head, and laughed at himself for being too greedy——

Italians, maybe they don't even know who Lancey is!

---

Lanxi, who was being talked about by Chen Shu, was so busy thousands of miles away at this time.

According to the usual practice, before the official opening of the Watertown Film Festival, filmmakers from all over the world will come here a few days in advance, and large and small salons and banquets will also come into being. The seller; secondly, it is a warm-up for the film festival awards.

Although the Watertown Film Festival has always been known for its fairness in judging, the members of the judging committee are also human beings with various weaknesses.The film crew who are committed to the awards, on the surface it seems to be calm, but secretly they have already worked hard.

Those top-level salons are the main battlegrounds for this kind of film producers' public relations - as long as they can make the judges watch the film, they have already won a great advantage for themselves.

Therefore, when they tried their best to get tickets for these occasions and rushed to the salon happily, they were surprised to find that those filmmakers with high eyesight actually praised a little-known Chinese film. add!

And the leading actor in this movie is just a young and strange face.

"Why?"

Hearing this, the organizer was vague: "They took golden invitations."

I wanted to ask again, but was dragged away by the colleague beside me whose face changed greatly, "You really want to die, do you know what the golden invitation is about?"

"what?"

"Rose Castle."

As soon as the four words fell, the expressions of everyone in the company changed drastically.
