Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 267 265. Little Jew: If she can do it, so can I.

"My friend, long time no see."

At the door of the art space, Bernard looked at Chen Li'an and extended his hand enthusiastically, and Chen Li'an also went up to greet him warmly.

This is my financial sponsor, so I must treat him with courtesy no matter what.

Among all the people who came today, only Bernard was worthy of Chen Li'an's initiative, not to please but to thank him for his support.

Bernard's wealth is not enough for Chen Li'an to take seriously. Sooner or later, he will have that much money, but Chen Li'an attaches great importance to his influence.

This is not the influence that ordinary rich people can have. The influence of so many luxury brands owned by Bernard in the fashion circle is unquestionable. Coupled with his status as the world's top art collector and a large French auction house, He is also very influential in the art world.

Chen Li'an also hopes to use his influence to successfully promote his art space.

The scene of Chen Li'an and Bernard shaking hands and embracing was clearly captured by reporters, and it will probably be used as the headline tomorrow.

After welcoming Bernard in and chatting for a few more words, Ji Fa took the initiative to take over Chen Li'an's class and started chatting with him.

After all, Chen Li'an was the protagonist today. He couldn't stay with Bernard all the time and he had to receive other people who came to support him.

After Bernard arrived, others also arrived one after another, including some wealthy local businessmen in Xiangjiang and collectors such as Da Liu who had previously wanted to collect Chen Li'an's works.

It was the first time that Chen Li'an and Da Liu met, but Da Liu seemed to have known him for a long time, and it felt like he had met a close friend.

"I just like artists like you! Haha, you are so romantic and talented!"

"I'll just think you're complimenting me." Chen Li'an said helplessly. There was no need to say the last sentence. Who can compare with you when it comes to romance?

Liu didn't care about Chen Li'an's reaction, but asked directly: "Are you really not going to sell that work? I can offer you 15 million Hong Kong dollars."

"Not for sale." Chen Li'an turned to look at Bernard and said to Liu: "He just offered 2.5 million US dollars and I'm not even tempted. I'm not short of money."

Da Liu: "." The price he paid for the sentiment was still low, but when he saw Chen Li'an like this, he really had no intention of selling it, so he simply stopped asking.

"If yours doesn't sell, other works of art will definitely not sell. I don't plan to leave empty-handed when I come here this time." Da Liu said with a smile.

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "I hope you can buy a few more pieces to support the development of mainland art."

"Haha, I'm not just investing to support the development of art." Da Liu laughed, chatted with Chen Li'an for a few more words, and then went in.

Cheng Shufen, who had been by Chen Li'an's side, looked at Liu's back and said, "He looks quite similar to you. He will have another girlfriend in a few months."

Chen Li'an couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Cheng Shufen and said, "I don't have a girlfriend."

"Well, because you are more shameless than him."

"."

Chen Li'an was too lazy to tell Cheng Shufen, why was he so shameless? We were all friends, so why should we add gender in front of friends? We couldn't emphasize gender, it was discrimination!

After Liu and his group entered, the celebrities invited by Cheng Shufen to support them also came one after another.

Zhang Xueyou, Cheng Shufen's artist, also came over. This was the first time Chen Li'an saw him in person, but looking at his face, Chen Li'an always thought of the emoticon that became popular later.

I pissed you off!

Chen Li'an tried hard to control his expression. After greeting Zhang Xueyou and waiting for him to go in, he turned to Cheng Shufen and said, "Sister Shufen, did he sign a film and television contract with you? You shouldn't have let him go to Carmen Mongkok in the first place."

Cheng Shufen looked at Chen Li'an with a strange smile and said, "I only signed his contract as a singer. I am not in charge of the movie. The movie Carmen in Mongkok is very good."

"It's indeed good. It has contributed to the source of all evil." Chen Li'an couldn't help laughing, but when he saw a woman walking over, he immediately stopped smiling.

The head of the Jade Girl is actually here too. The little Jew is more beautiful in real life than on TV.

Chen Li'an asked in a low voice next to Cheng Shufen: "Sister Shufen, how many people did you invite? Why are Zhou Huimin here?"

"Oh, she came here by herself, and she also likes to draw." Cheng Shufen took a look and explained.

Chen Li'an looked at Zhou Huimin who was walking over and asked curiously: "Is she in love with that good-for-nothing second son of the Ni family now?"

"Who knows the specific situation? There have been so many separations and reunions, and there was a lot of fuss before, but I heard that they haven't gotten back together yet." After Cheng Shufen finished speaking, she turned to look at Chen Li'an and said, "This woman is not clear-headed, don't Provoke it.”

"She is really not clear-headed. She can tolerate that playboy from the Ni family. She really can't understand." Chen Lian felt that Zhou Huimin's eyesight must not be very good, and he didn't know what to think.

However, after seeing Zhou Huimin approaching, Chen Li'an and Cheng Shufen stopped gossiping. Cheng Shufen took the initiative to step forward and greet Zhou Huimin, as if she didn't want to give Chen Li'an a chance to get closer.

Chen Li'an saw Cheng Shufen's thoughts and felt a little helpless. Since Cheng Shufen and Wang Zuxian worked together, she helped Wang Zuxian intentionally or unintentionally.

However, Zhou Huimin took the initiative to greet Chen Li'an, looked at Chen Li'an with a sweet smile and said: "Hello, I am Zhou Huimin. Nice to meet you. I like your works very much."

Chen Li'an stretched out his hand to shake Zhou Huimin's hand and said, "Thank you, I also like your songs and your role as the little Jew."

"Then which one is your favorite?" Zhou Huimin asked jokingly.

Chen Li'an thought for a moment and said, "There is a song in the album you just released that I like very much. Maybe we should break up."

Zhou Huimin was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Chen Li'an to talk about this song. She originally thought that Chen Li'an was joking about liking her own song.

She would not be surprised if Chen Li'an said that he liked his favorite song. After all, it was his most popular song. Jiu Shun, who was not a fan of his, should have heard of it, but he said such a song that was not very popular. , but it made her feel that Chen Li'an might really be her fan.

Cheng Shufen could hear what Chen Li'an meant when he said this song, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhou Huimin while standing behind him.

"I didn't expect you to like this song." Zhou Huimin looked at Chen Li'an with some surprise, feeling that he didn't look like someone who was suffering from emotional problems.

Chen Li'an smiled without explaining. He looked at her and said, "Thank you for coming to support me. Several of my friends are here and I want to entertain you. Let's talk later."

Chen Li'an nodded at Zhou Huimin, and then walked towards Zhang Guorong who had just come over. He was now very concerned about whether Zhang Guorong would take the role in Happy Together.

"Why did you come here? You're the last one to come on such an important day for me!" Chen Li'an walked over and put his arm around Zhang Guorong's shoulders in an awkward manner and said.

There were still dark circles on Leslie Cheung's face, and he said to Chen Li'an a little tiredly: "I'm busy preparing for the concert at the end of the year."

"Preparing for a concert? Aren't you going to take the role of Wang Jiawei?" Chen Li'an looked at Leslie Cheung with some happiness. He really didn't want Leslie Cheung to take the role.

Zhang Guorong hesitated for a moment and slowly shook his head and said: "I met him last night and I still plan to continue."

Chen Li'an frowned slightly after hearing this. He heard the meaning of Wang Zuxian's words in the morning and thought that Zhang Guorong was not ready to take it.

Zhang Guorong glanced at Chen Shufen in the distance and explained: "Shufen also persuaded me not to accept it, and also asked a Feng Shui master to tell my fortune, saying that Wang Jiawei and I were not compatible, but I liked Wang Jiawei's story very much, and I wanted to try it. try."

Chen Li'an was silent for a moment, looked at him and said, "Okay, but remember to bring a doctor with you when you go filming. I will go over to see you if I have time."

Zhang Guorong didn't understand why Chen Li'an kept saying that he would bring a doctor, but he still nodded and said jokingly: "I am in such good health, nothing will happen to me!"

Chen Li'an pouted and said, "I hope your body is as hard as your mouth."

If I didn't want to film this kind of subject, I would be willing to work with him again and watch him in person. However, this subject is destined to prevent the two of them from cooperating in this drama.

After chatting with Zhang Guorong for a few more words, Chen Li'an became busy. There were too many people here today.

The entire exhibition hall was full of people, but they were clearly divided into four groups. Jifa and Bernard were among a group of foreign artists visiting various works of art.

Hong Kong's wealthy businessmen and celebrities gathered together, artists from the mainland gathered together, and ordinary audiences wandered around in twos and threes.

Chen Li'an was very busy walking among four groups of people.

However, there is still good news. Bernard took action and won seven pieces of art, and Ji Fa sold them at a high price.

None of them were worth less than 20,000 US dollars. It was a huge profit.

Liu also took action and won four pieces, but the total cost was more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. This was the result of Cheng Shufen's continuous raising of prices.

But what Liu and Chen Li'an said is true. He buys art for investment. He controls the price very well and will not let Cheng Shufen and others raise the price just because he likes it.

Regarding these rich people, Chen Li'an's attitude is to earn as much as possible and not lower their consumption level. Rich people have to be a little bit cool.

The only thing that surprised Chen Li'an was Idomuraji. He and several Japanese collectors took a fancy to more than 30 works of art and spent a total of more than 300,000 US dollars.

These rich people are not the main target today. Chen Li'an and the others are targeting the middle class. Don't underestimate the spending power of this group of people.

It is true that a single person cannot compare with those rich people, but there are many of them.

These middle-class people bought more than 100 pieces of art in total, spending a total of more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars.

But what amused Chen Li'an the most was not how many works of art were sold today, but Li Lizhen's painting.

Chen Li'an and Li Lizhen stood behind a circle of people and watched their comments on the painting. They thought it was so fun.

"Is this a self-portrait by Chen Li'an? The brushstrokes and techniques are very special, and there are abstract techniques in it, which vividly show his anger at that time."

"Yes, I think it's very good. I was at the scene that day and I could feel the anger in Chen Li'an's heart at that time, which is the same as what this painting expresses."

"Although the painting looks very casual, this randomness makes the emotion express better."

Li Li, who had been eavesdropping, felt embarrassed. Are these people talking about her paintings? I just wanted to draw something cool, something angry, something abstract.

What on earth are you talking about!

Chen Li'an suppressed a smile and said, "Look, art is so weird."

Li Lizhen looked at Chen Li'an in confusion and asked, "Can't anyone tell that this is not your painting?"

"Of course!" Chen Lian Nunuu's lips gestured to Li Lizhen to look at a few artists who passed by and left after taking a look, and then said with a smile: "They can tell."

"Then why didn't they say it?"

"Because they don't want to argue with a fool."

"."

Li Li really felt like she was a fool and couldn't understand what art was all about.

"What are you talking about? I see you have been chatting for a long time." Zhou Huimin suddenly approached Li Lizhen from behind and asked curiously.

Li Lizhen glanced at Zhou Huimin, with a strange light flashing in her eyes, and said to her: "We are talking about that painting. What do you think of that painting?"

Zhou Huimin leaned over and took a few glances, her brows furrowed together as she was a little unsure of what was going on. Originally, she was pretty sure that this was definitely not a painting by Chen Li'an, but after listening to the compliments from people around her, she felt like she didn't understand.

Her artistic attainments are much better than Li Lizhen's, and she later won a grand prize in an art exhibition. Although the gold content is not very high, it also shows that she has a good talent.

Zhou Huimin was a little confused as to whether he should trust his own judgment or whether he should doubt his lack of vision.

Chen Li'an looked at Zhou Huimin's troubled expression and couldn't help but said to Li Lizhen: "You are bad enough, deliberately making your friends look embarrassed."

"Not friends." Li Lizhen muttered, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "I just want to see how she looks, not intentionally to make fun of her."

Test Zhou Huimin's vision? Chen Li'an felt that Li Li really thought too much, and her eyes were only normal when she looked at Li Ming.

Zhou Huimin didn't have good vision and brains. Later, Zhou Huimin said that he and Ni Zhen became more and more convinced that they would be a pair for life. He said that Ni Zhen was a good boyfriend who was serious, careful and responsible.

When Chen Li'an looked at such a stupid Zhou Huimin, he couldn't help but want to trick him, just like he wanted to give a stupid roe deer a stick when he saw it in the mountains of Northeast China.

After Zhou Huimin struggled for a while, he came back and said to Li Lizhen: "This painting should generally be painted by a beginner."

Li Lizhen looked at Zhou Huimin in surprise and asked curiously: "How did you tell?"

"Because the painting I drew when I first learned it was similar to it." Zhou Huimin said seriously, but his eyes were looking at Chen Li'an as if waiting for him to give the final answer.

Chen Li'an smiled and said: "You are right, it is indeed a beginner's painting, but he is a very talented person."

When Li Lizhen heard Chen Li'an praising herself, she felt a little sweet in her heart. She looked at Zhou Huimin and whispered, "That's my painting. Don't tell those people."

"Your painting?" Zhou Huimin was stunned for a moment, but felt very unhappy in his heart. Can you hang your painting like this on display here? Then I can do it too!

Zhou Huimin immediately turned his attention to Chen Li'an and said seriously: "I think my paintings are also good. I have many paintings at home. Do you want to take a look?"
