Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 302 300. Which artist can withstand such a test?

In the quiet living room, Chen Li'an and Sophie Marceau were candid and cuddled on the soft sofa.

Sophie Marceau's slender calves rested on Chen Li'an, and Chen Li'an held her small soles in his hands. The stinging pain from the soles of her feet made her hum.

Chen Li'an held her foot and carefully pulled off a rose thorn on it.

Sophie Marceau looked at Chen Li'an and couldn't help complaining: "It hurts so much."

Chen Li'an blew lightly and said, "Don't you like it very much? I remember you wrote in the book that you liked how I did this to you."

"Hmph." Sophie Marceau showed a rare womanly attitude, turned over with her hands on her hands and said, "It hurts in the back too. Check to see if there are thorns as well."

Chen Li'an took a closer look, reached out and patted it and said, "No, if you hadn't stepped on it just now, such a short thorn would have stuck."

Sophie Marceau snorted and shook her head and said, "Look carefully."

Chen Li'an sat up and stretched out his hand to check, then looked at the dewdrops on his fingers, then leaned over and said in her ear: "There is no thorn, but I want to sprint."

Sophie Marceau's eyes were filled with water, and she twisted her body slightly to indicate to Chen Li'an that she was ready.

The air in the living room seemed to have become moist at this time, like a winding stream or rough waves.

Time passed minute by minute, and the second hand beat up and down. I don't know how long it took before the living room became quiet.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Li'an got up early, took the phone and called China from the balcony of Sophie Marceau's house.

It's just after ten o'clock in China now, so it's a good time to make a call.

Chen Li'an did not talk about this matter with Chen Meiren, but told Li Dabai to pay attention to this matter. If anything unusual happens, he must tell him as soon as possible.

After explaining to Li Dabai, Chen Li'an called Cheng Shufen again and told her that she should pay attention to the gossip news in the media recently. If there is any gossip, she can spend more money to stop it.

More than half an hour later, Chen Li'an hung up the phone and looked at the still gray sky, feeling that sooner or later he would be pulled clean.

I hope it won't cause any harm to them by then.

Scumbags don't care about reputation, but women are different. Their psychology is more sensitive and fragile. Chen Li'an has the responsibility to help them protect them from these storms.

As a scumbag, Chen Li'an is not very qualified. He fails to do the minimum and is irresponsible, which is simply an embarrassment to scumbags.

Chen Li'an couldn't help but sigh and said to himself: "I am still too kind. I can only be a scumbag, not a scumbag."

After saying that, Chen Li'an couldn't help but shudder. It was so cold in Paris in the early morning. Maybe he was disgusted by his shameless remarks.

While it was still early, Chen Li'an ran back to sleep.

When Chen Li'an woke up that day and said a simple goodbye to Sophie Marceau, he went back to Venice.

After returning to Venice, Chen Li'an felt in a trance, as if nothing had happened. No one talked to him about Sophie Marceau's book, but only discussed with Chen Li'an the artworks in this exhibition.

Artists are not gossip reporters. Who would pay attention to a book written by a star.

But even if they knew, they wouldn't have any reaction, and they would still think this is not normal.

There are a few famous artists in history who are not like this. Let’s just say Picasso. He has had so many lovers in his life that he can count them all.

This may be due to different perceptions in different circles, or in the open environment abroad, people don’t care much about this kind of thing.

What's there to say about the things you and I wish to do? There's nothing to do after we're full.

In such an atmosphere, Chen Li'an felt less irritable, and his mood felt much better because of Ji Fa's appearance.

Ji Fa was looking at Chen Li'an's work at this time. While admiring it, he was thinking about how to transport this work away.

Such good works cannot be placed here or dismantled after the exhibition. That would be a blasphemy to art and money!

After Ji Fa looked around, he turned to look at Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, who were having an awkward moment. He couldn't help but interrupt them and asked: "Li'an, what do you plan to do with this work?"

Chen Li'an glanced at Bai Qing, who still didn't want to talk to him, sighed, turned to look at Ji Fa and said, "You can do what you want, I don't care."

Ji Fa rolled his eyes at Chen Li'an speechlessly, then looked at the door of the exhibition hall and made a rough estimate and said: "It can be taken away, but it will be more troublesome, and private collectors of such large works may not collect them. I will contact a few Try an art museum.”

Chen Li'an hummed, walked up to Ji Fa and whispered, "Please help me persuade Bai Qing. She is now complaining that I didn't break up with Sophie Marceau."

"No!" After Ji Fa refused sternly, he glanced at Bai Qing and wondered if he could take advantage of the situation.

The iron triangle must be close and honest with each other!

Chen Li'an saw what Ji Fa was thinking and couldn't help but knock her on the head and said: "Stop trying to figure out what Bai Qing is!"

"You mind me!" Ji Fa glared back, snorted and ran to Bai Qing and pulled her away, leaving Chen Li'an standing there alone.

Chen Li'an looked at their leaving figures and felt helpless.

In the next few days, Bo Qing was with Ji Fa. Every time he saw Chen Li'an, he felt bad, thinking that he would just die with a woman in his life.

Sophie Marceau wrote about that kind of thing in her book, and you don’t care!

Chen Li'an had no choice but no time to appease Bo Qing. He was too busy these days. Artists invited him to parties every day, or reporters wanted to interview him. He had almost no free time all day long.

In the days after the exhibition began, Chen Li'an's name appeared frequently in newspapers and magazines. Whenever newspapers reported on the Venice Art Exhibition, Chen Li'an's name would be mentioned.

Chen Li'an is now truly one of the most famous artists in the world. The only thing he still lacks is the fermentation of time.

That morning, as soon as Chen Li'an finished an interview with a British art magazine, the domestic media came over. Along with the reporters were people from the Ministry of Culture.

"Teacher Chen, long time no see." The reporter from the art magazine looked at Chen Li'an and said politely.

Chen Li'an also smiled and said: "The last time we met was in the studio last year. It's indeed been a long time since we last met."

The man standing next to the reporter looked at Chen Li'an and said proactively: "Hello, Teacher Chen, I am Zhang Mingli from the Art Department of the Ministry of Culture."

"Hello, you're so polite." Chen Li'an didn't know his position, so he asked curiously: "I wonder what you want to see me for this time?"

"Teacher Chen, you have made a lot of money for us this time." Zhang Mingli looked at Chen Li'an and said, "The ministry hopes that Teacher Chen can promote our culture as much as before. In addition to modern art, we also have many traditional arts. .”

Chen Li'an guessed this, looked at Zhang Mingli and said: "Of course, this is what I should do. I have talked about these issues with Director Wang before, and I have thought about promoting traditional culture. When I return to China this time, I will Went to meet and talk with Minister Wang."

"Haha, that's good. No wonder Director Wang keeps saying that Teacher Chen is a role model for young artists."

After Zhang Mingli praised a few more words, he turned to look at the reporter from the art magazine next to him and said, "Xiao Li, you have to be more serious when you interview Teacher Chen later."

The reporter who was called Xiao Li smiled and said nothing. Zhang Mingli was from the Art Division of the Art Department and was not a big leader in the department, nor was he from the Propaganda Department. He couldn't control himself, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him.

After Zhang Mingli left, he said to Chen Li'an: "Mr. Chen, you have time in the afternoon. Until now, domestic magazines only reproduce foreign news, so you have to take care of your own people no matter what."

Chen Li'an immediately smiled and said: "Of course, I'm still wondering why my family doesn't want to see me and no one comes to me for interviews."

Xiao Li explained apologetically: "Haha, don't be surprised. There are really too many interview tasks these days. Many foreign artists have returned home if they don't hurry up to interview people."

Chen Li'an laughed and understood this kind of behavior. Foreign artists should be more popular. Even if that artist's international status is not as high as Chen Li'an's, the level of attention is still different.

For more than an hour, Chen Li'an was asked various questions, not only about art, but also many questions unrelated to art.

For example, there are issues about how to promote the international image, the benefits of the Venice Art Biennale reaching tens of millions of dollars, and the issue of when the China National Pavilion can be truly established.

Most of the questions had nothing to do with Chen Li'an, but since Chen Li'an was asked, he did not escape and answered them all.

Some questions are actually very realistic, and Chen Li'an's answers are also very realistic. It's like Chinese artists have participated in the Venice Art Biennale for many years in a row, but there are only Chinese representative artists and the reason why there is no Chinese national pavilion is because of poverty, because of international status, and because A uniquely European arrogance.

Art is never pure, and establishing a national pavilion is not simply building a house, nor is it something that a few or a dozen artists can change.

These people in Europe are also very interesting. They want to drag Chinese artists on board to differentiate themselves from the United States, but they are reluctant to completely let go of their status.

This is not only true in art, but also in film.

In addition, Chen Li'an also talked a lot about the fact that modern art is not supported in China. He also specifically said that some people have lost themselves by blindly following the footsteps of the West and have not developed their own modern art. .

After chatting a lot, Xiao Li looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Mr. Chen, you said it very well. Your works contain many ethnic elements. I saw your work this time and the things used in it not only reflect war. It’s cruel, and many of the items inside also show the development history of Chinese art, from primitive murals to bronzes to porcelain, etc., which are a good representation of oriental art.”

Chen Li'an smiled and said: "This is what I learned from my last visit to Venice. At that time, someone told me that modern art should also be based on the nation itself."

Xiao Li smiled and said: "It's getting late, so I won't disturb Teacher Chen. By the way, some of the issues discussed later will not be published, but they may be submitted."

Chen Li'an: "." I should have known better and wouldn't have said anything! It's better to log out. At least it's fair and aboveboard.

After Xiao Li finished speaking, he left, leaving Chen Li'an scratching his hair with a headache. Forget it, don't care about that.

I was right at first, but now some of the affiliated art academies are outrageous. Art graduate students must meet English standards. No matter how good your major is, if you can't speak English well, you won't be accepted!

What is the relationship between painting and English? Use words to draw pictures!

Going forward, there will be a lot of distortion and vilification, and works of art that blindly please the West. This phenomenon is really hard to comment on.

It's okay to say it now, in case there is a chance to change. After Chen Li'an naively fantasized for a while, he got up and went to brag and talk about art with artists from other countries.

By the way, I would like to talk to them about the traditional Chinese arts in my works, so that they can have an idea in their minds. When Chen Li'an comes again in the future, they can open up their output openly.

The art space opened in Xiangjiang sells modern art, but in Europe it will definitely sell traditional art.

Hehe, it's quite interesting to do it the other way around.

Chen Li'an continued to hang out in various exhibition halls for the next two days, with a little tail behind him.

Ido Muruji has been following Chen Li'an, hoping that they will participate in the Tokyo Art Awards in August. I hope that Chen Li'an can bring the same popularity to the Tokyo Art Awards as in Venice.

Chen Li'an couldn't even think about it with his toes. How many years did it take for Venice to become the world's most valuable place? The Tokyo Art Awards only took a few years.

However, facing such an enthusiastic Ido Muranji, Chen Li'an was a little hesitant. This guy was too persistent and said that if Chen Li'an went to Tokyo, he could provide high activity fees and high treatment.

The most important thing is that he also hinted at Chen Li'an some very interesting things.

Ido Muranji looked at Chen Li'an and said: "Li Anjun, artists are all passionate, and Tokyo is a romantic city full of art. There are many people who love art in Tokyo who hope to see Li Anjun's works in Tokyo. They admire them very much. Artists like Li Anjun want to talk about art with you all night long."

Chen Li'an looked at Ido Muranji strangely, what are these words?

It is sentimental, romantic, admiring, and can be talked about all night long. Is this serious art?

Is this the legendary beauty trap?

Chen Li'an thought for a while and said to Ido Muruji: "I will participate in the Sino-Japanese cultural and art exchange in July. If I participate in the Tokyo Art Awards in August, I may not have as much time to create."

"Li'an-kun! You can do what you did in Venice this time. We will prepare whatever you need!" Ido Muranji looked at Chen Li'an and suddenly bowed and said, "Please, Li'an-kun! Tokyo Art The Grand Prize needs artists like you!”

Chen Li'an: "." Although you are just a curator, please have some artist integrity, okay?

It's both money and a honey trap. Are you using this to test artists? Which artist can withstand such a test?
