Chapter 109 107. Going to Europe to Become Famous

"Call back when you arrive in the capital."

At the boarding gate of Yangcheng Airport, Qiao Xiulin tugged on Chen Li'an's collar and ordered.

Qiao Linmu also said next to him, "I've finished investigating the VCD issue, and I'll let you know when the time comes."

"Understood, the time is coming, I'm leaving." Chen Lian walked into the security checkpoint like a rampant crab carrying two oversized suitcases.

Looking at Chen Li'an's back, Qiao Linmu couldn't bear it any longer. He turned to look at his daughter and said, "Do you want to buy clothes for him, or are you simply satisfying your shopping desires?"

Qiao Xiulin turned her head to look at Qiao Linmu and said, "There are all of them."

"I knew it." Qiao Linmu sighed and said, "You should hurry up and find a boyfriend. You are already 24, and if you drag it on, you will be an old girl."

"I don't want you to support me. You just want to find a uncle to drink with you." Qiao Xiulin saw Chen Li'an disappearing at the security checkpoint, turned around and left.

Qiao Linmu sighed and followed.

The capital city in early spring is still very cold. After the Spring Festival, the whole city seems to be immersed in the end of the festive joy. Walking in the alleys, Chen Lian occasionally encounters a few unlucky children throwing firecrackers at him.

If Chen Li'an hadn't been inconvenient to carry a suitcase in his hand, he would have bought a set of Maxim firecrackers to fight them!
After returning to his hut, Chen Li'an unexpectedly did not see Bai Qing, nor did she have any of her belongings. He was still a little surprised in his heart, whether this girl suddenly looked away.

Chen Li'an put the two boxes on the ground casually, lay down on the smelly bed and rested for a while before calling Bai Qing.

"Are you with Ji Fa?" Chen Li'an's lazy voice reached Bai Qing's ears through the phone.

Bai Qing hummed, holding the phone in one hand and the photo in the other, turned to look at Ji Fa, handed the phone to her and said, "Chen Li'an."

Ji Fa answered the phone and immediately said, "Li'an, are you back yet? Your work this time is really great. We will definitely cause a sensation in Europe next month!"

Listening to Ji Fa's excited voice, Chen Li'an asked, "Have you seen it all? How is Bai Qing doing now?"

"I've seen it. Those Jiangnan-themed works are amazing!" If Chen Li'an was in front of Ji Fa now, she couldn't help but give him a big kiss!

Simply genius!The duo artist is really on the right track!Well, plus her as the manager is a threesome!This combination will definitely become the biggest dark horse in the art world this year!

Ji Fa couldn't help but start imagining that through his own operation, the works of Chen Li'an and Bai Qing had sold for tens of millions.

Chen Li'an waited on the phone for a long time but did not hear Ji Fa's voice, guessing in his heart that she was going hysterical again.

"Where are you, I'll go find you." Chen Li'an asked quickly.

Only then did Ji Fa come back to his senses and report an address to Chen Li'an.

Ten minutes later, Chen Li'an came to Bai Qing's new home. This was the first time he came here. The house that Bai Qing rented this time was much better than the previous one, much better than Chen Li'an's room.

"Long time no see!" Ji Fa gave Chen Li'an a big hug when she saw him. Although Chen Li'an was wearing thick clothes, he could still feel Ji Fa's turbulent waves.

Bai Qing was sitting on the ground picking out photos, looked up, then lowered his head to continue picking photos.

Chen Li'an cautiously pushed Ji Fa away and said, "Don't be too enthusiastic, it's just been over a month since I saw you."

Seeing Chen Li'an's defensive expression, Ji Fa twitched the corner of his mouth, and whispered in his ear: "Why do I feel that you are so afraid of me?"

"Hehe, you think too much."

Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa's jewel-like eyes, turned sideways and walked up to Bai Qing and asked, "How's the progress? Shall I do it with you?"

After Bai Qing applied glue on a photo, he raised his head and said, "No, I want to do it myself."

Looking at the half-finished photo, Chen Li'an stared at Bai Qing's dark circles and said: "You are not in a good condition now, take a rest for two days and adjust."

"It's okay." After Bai Qing pasted the photo on it, he took a closer look and said, "I want to finish it as soon as possible. I'm in good condition now."

Bai Qing's eyes were shining brightly. Although his face was very haggard, he looked very excited.

Ji Fa came over and said, "I'll keep an eye on her, don't worry, I'm your full-time nanny now, and I won't let anything happen to you."

"Full-time nanny?" Chen Li'an turned his head and asked, "Is everything done in Europe?"

Ji Fa sat on the chair, crossed her legs and said confidently: "Of course, next month's exhibition will definitely be a success!"

"Have you arranged the exhibition hall as I said?" Chen Li'an asked, standing up and lighting a cigarette.

For that group of Jiangnan-themed works, Chen Li'an not only exhibited a combination of oil paintings and photos, but also arranged the venue, part of which was to re-plan the entire exhibition hall like installation art, so that the whole The effect of group works is maximized.

Chen Li'an's plan is to arrange several mirrors and glass in front of each painting, so that the viewer will be surrounded by the world in the painting through reflection, and physically integrate into the work for deep communication.

It may sound a bit metaphysical to say so, but the effect will definitely be great.

Ji Fa also lit a cigarette and took a puff and said, "The exhibition hall can only be furnished before the start. I won't rent the exhibition hall a month in advance."

Renting an extra day means a lot of money, so there is no such thing.

Chen Li'an nodded and asked, "Is everything ready? When is the specific launch time?"

"Everything is ready." Ji Fa slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "March NO.15, for a month."

It is already mid-February, and there is less than a month left. Chen Li'an turned to look at Bai Qing, who was serious about putting together the photos, worried that she would not be able to finish on time, and also worried that such a high-intensity work would put her body to death. screw up.

"Time is running out, can we postpone it?" Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa and asked.

Ji Fa shrugged his shoulders and said, "No, I've already invited many people, so I can't change the time."

The blue smoke from the cigarette butt slowly floated up, Chen Li'an squinted his eyes and looked at Bai Qing who was sitting on the ground with an excited expression, and finally sighed.

The time to go to Europe has been confirmed, and Chen Li'an has to prepare in advance.

It is quite troublesome to go abroad now. Although Ji Fa helped to skip a lot of cumbersome steps for the visa issue, it took several days.

Apart from visa matters, Chen Li'an has to go to school once and ask for leave again
Li Keji, the class teacher, was speechless because of Chen Li'an's class. Looking at Chen Li'an who came to the school for the second time, he couldn't help asking: "Can't you take a day of class? How can you ask for leave like this."

"Teacher, I promise to take classes well next semester!" Chen Li'an was also a little embarrassed. He knew that he would be so talented in art and his development would be so smooth, so he didn't take the Nortel exam back then.

Chen Li'an's guarantee has no effect in Li Keji's heart, who knows where you will hold an exhibition next semester!
However, Li Keji still admires Chen Li'an very much. He went abroad to hold exhibitions at a young age. Compared with Nortel, there is really nothing worthy of comparison.

It is very common to ask for leave in the film school. There are often students who ask for leave to go out to film, and a filming lasts for a month or two. Although Li Keji has a headache, he still approves the leave for Chen Lian.

After all, this is Nortel's first painter and photographer. Performing artists and great directors are not uncommon in Nortel, but an artist like Chen Li'an is really the first, and he is the only one.

Nortel's well-known alumni will definitely have this one in the future!

After Chen Li'an got the approval, he walked around the campus and looked at the students who were in a hurry to go to class, feeling very comfortable.

But before Chen Li'an left the campus, he met an acquaintance, an acquaintance who had let him go.

Xu Jinglei, who ran in from outside the school with short hair, was a little surprised when she saw Chen Li'an, and ran over and asked, "Chen Li'an? You finally came to class? The most mysterious student of Nortel!"

Seeing Xu Jinglei with a bright smile, Chen Li'an hummed and explained: "I'm here to ask for leave, not to attend class."

"Ask for leave again?" Xu Jinglei asked a little strangely: "Aren't you going to hold an exhibition again?"

Speaking of this, Xu Jinglei suddenly remembered that she released Chen Li'an's pigeons last time, so she said embarrassedly: "I was delayed by something last time, and I didn't go to your film festival afterwards."

Chen Li'an shook his head and said indifferently, "It's okay."

"Are you going to hold an exhibition again?" Xu Jinglei asked again, really curious.

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have come to ask for leave." Chen Li'an replied.

Xu Jinglei quickly asked, "Where are you this time? I will definitely join you this time."

Chen Li'an looked at Xu Jinglei and said calmly, "Paris, France."

Xu Jinglei: "." It's really impossible to go, but, why did they drive to France, why don't you be so amazing.

"I have to leave first." Chen Li'an waved at the stunned Xu Jinglei, turned and left.

Xu Jinglei looked at Chen Li'an's handsome back, and suddenly felt that this is the real talent, and they all went to the Art City to hold an art exhibition.
Soon the news that Nortel's most mysterious student, Chen Li'an, was going to hold an art exhibition in France spread throughout the school.

This once again cast a halo on Chen Li'an, who was already full of gossip, very dazzling.

In the girls' dormitory, Jiang Qingqing and Chen Zihan were discussing this classmate whom they had met twice.

"You said he is so good, will he still come to school?" Jiang Qingqing asked curiously.

Chen Zihan thought for a while and said, "Probably not, I feel like I won't see him in the classroom for four years in college."

Jiang Qingqing turned over suddenly, lay on the bed and said enviously: "I want to go to school like this too."

"Just think about it, people are different." Chen Zihan ruthlessly pierced the daydream of the fellow.

Jiang Qingqing looked sideways at Chen Zihan, and suddenly asked, "Who the hell do you think his girlfriend is?"

"If you want me to say that he doesn't have a girlfriend!" Chen Zihan said affirmatively, and then explained in a low voice: "I feel that he is the kind of prodigal son who is surrounded by confidante, so he won't find a girlfriend to take care of him. "

Jiang Qingqing thought for a while, and felt that Chen Zihan's analysis was quite reasonable, otherwise, how could there be scandals with two big stars.

Chen Zihan looked into Jiang Qingqing's beautiful eyes and asked, "Did you have any thoughts? Such a person is too far away from us, you should consider the senior in the third year."

"I didn't!" Jiang Qingqing immediately replied excitedly, then she saw Chen Zihan who was giggling and suddenly realized, she rushed forward and shouted: "You lied to me!"

"Haha, look at how nervous you are." Chen Zihan laughed and teased while avoiding Jiang Qingqing's tickling attack.

People are curious. For an honest and youthful girl, a person with outstanding looks and talent is indeed very attractive, but most of them are just curious.

After asking for leave from school, Chen Li'an still has to go to Director Cheng to ask for leave. Before the filming of the film is finished, it will restart in Shanghai in April. His art exhibition will not end until mid-April, so there will be no scenes for the first ten days. way to participate.

I don't know if Cheng Dao will be angry because of this, scolding himself for being unprofessional.

Chen Li'an came to Cheng Dao's courtyard, looked at the ginkgo trees that had begun to sprout again, and said to Cheng Dao apologetically: "Director, I'm going to hold an art exhibition in Europe next month, and it may be delayed for more than ten days. Go to the set."

"It doesn't matter." Director Cheng smiled, then looked at Chen Li'an and said, "I saw you taking pictures with a camera every day on the set, and thought you were just a joke. I've heard people say it's highly rated."

Chen Li'an didn't expect Director Cheng to be so easy to talk to. It seems that he has transformed from an actor into a potential artist in his heart, and his salary has risen.

The status bonus brought by an artist is really not small, at least it is quite useful in the entertainment circle, and Vanity Fair is famous.

"I didn't expect to get such a high evaluation." Chen Li'an said modestly, and then asked: "Director, if I don't go ahead, it won't delay the progress of the filming, right?"

Director Cheng shook his head and said, "It's okay, the main scenes in Shanghai are Zhang Guorong and Gong Li's, and you probably won't be able to finish filming their scenes when you come back."

The scenes in Shanghai are mainly concentrated on Zhang Guorong and Gong Li. The role of Chen Li'an in Shanghai is very small, almost a background board.

There are not even as many roles as Zhou Jie, and the roles of the most beautiful Concubine Yang are all in Shanghai. At that time, I should be able to meet this legendary dancer, open a dance school in the United States, and set up a Zhou Jie dance for myself in the city On school days, ordinary people can't do it.

Most importantly, Zhou Jie's achievements in art have also been recorded and compiled into the "World Who's Who" and "World Chinese Elite Ceremony".

Chen Li'an withdrew his wandering thoughts, looked at Director Cheng and said, "That's good, if the filming is delayed, I'll feel a little bit sorry."

Although the filming of this movie made him uncomfortable, since he accepted the role and received the money, he had to finish the filming well. This is professional ethics.

"It's okay, you can rest assured that holding your art exhibition is also to win glory for the country." Cheng Dao said with a smile.

"Haha, definitely will!"

When Chen Li'an hears about winning glory for the country, he always thinks of the ridicule from later generations of netizens. Riding a horse has become an act of winning glory for the country.
