Chapter 146 144. Touch Your Golden Lion
"Why haven't you recovered yet? Why has it taken you so long?" Ji Fa hummed weakly.

Chen Li'an sped up his movements, and replied perfunctorily: "Slow work leads to meticulous work. The macaroni must be cooked in creamy soup until soft. Just bear with it."

"I feel very soft already." Looking at Chen Li'an, Ji Fa couldn't help urging, "When will your creamy soup be ready?"

"Be patient with delicious food." Chen Li'an looked at the creamy soup that was about to overflow, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Okay, let's try it."

Looking at the macaroni that hadn't been served yet, Ji Fa couldn't help dipping her fingers in the milky white soup, and then put it in her mouth to taste it.

"How does it taste?" Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa who was pointing his fingers and asked.

Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an and said, "It's great. It's full of milk flavor and not greasy. It's very different from ordinary creamy soup."

Chen Li'an smiled smugly and said, "Of course, my craftsmanship is great, and I might be able to be a chef in the future."

"Then I must taste it every day!" Ji Fa couldn't help but licked the corner of his mouth, and then urged Chen Li'an to fill up the macaroni.

It seemed that Jifa was really hungry. The macaroni filled with milky white soup looked very appetizing, but Jifa was more interested in the creamy soup. She didn't touch the macaroni at all, but drank all the soup .

Chen Li'an looked at the creamy soup on the corner of Ji Fa's mouth, took out a piece of paper and wiped it off for her, and then said in satisfaction, "Why are you in such a hurry to drink it, and no one is snatching it from you."

Ji Fa licked the corner of her mouth and looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Has Bai Qing ever drank the creamy soup you made?"

"No, she doesn't like it." Chen Li'an wiped his hands, leaned on the sofa and said, "Are you full now? I'm going back. If I don't go back, Bai Qing will fall asleep."

"It's twelve o'clock now, and I just made macaroni and cream again, aren't you tired? Or."

"Not tired! Stop dreaming!"

"Go away, heartless man!"

Chen Li'an curled his lips, greedy woman, fortunately, I also made her macaroni with creamy soup, and after drinking the creamy soup, she still wants to get more and more!

After leaving from Ji Fa, Chen Li'an went back and had a good night's sleep. Tonight is the awards ceremony of the Art Biennale, so he must recharge his energy.

My first trophy will be born tonight!
However, this year's art exhibition has not much funding, and the award ceremony is a bit shabby. Although the artwork is very valuable, the art exhibition does not make money.

Clare made this year's awards ceremony very unique, gathering the works of many installation artists together as the awards ceremony.

It's really full of artistic atmosphere, not commercial at all.

Chen Li'an's works were also among them. At this time, he, Bai Qing and Ji Fa were standing in front of their works and listening to Claire's speech.

Claire's artistic philosophy is full of reflection and criticism, and she has great opinions on Western contemporary art. What she said on stage was also very straightforward, bluntly saying that many of the works participating in this art exhibition are not pure.

After listening to Claire's words, Chen Li'an turned to Ji Fa and said, "Claire must not be liked by art managers like you."

"Why do you say that?" Ji Fa paused for a moment to understand the meaning of Chen Li'an's words, and said in a low voice: "Actually, we all love him to death, he is like the vane of contemporary art."

Chen Li'an: ".Reverse operation?"

Ji Fa smiled and said: "Yes, and the art market has been sluggish due to the financial crisis in the past two years, and he is just needed to revive the classicism works."

Chen Li'an looked at Claire differently after hearing this. This guy has always emphasized that business and politics should not be linked to art, but he probably didn't expect that his words would become a weapon used by these black-hearted managers to drive up prices.

Alas. Businessmen are the most cunning people in this world.

After Claire's tirade was over, it was finally time for the award presentation. Chen Li'an was not too excited. All the previous ones were for small awards, and they were for dance or visual arts. The grand awards would come out at the end.

Chen Li'an looked at the artists who came to the stage to accept the awards, and sincerely congratulated them for being able to win the awards. At the same time, he also hoped that when they won the awards, they would also send blessings and not be jealous.

When it was about to reach the final stage, Ji Fa couldn't help but grabbed Chen Li'an's hand and asked, "If, I mean, if you don't win the award, will you be disappointed?"

Chen Li'an turned his head to look at Ji Fa, then looked at Bai Qing and asked, "Will you be disappointed?"

Bai Qing shook his head calmly and said, "No, the value of art is not in money, nor in these awards, it's just icing on the cake."

Hearing Bai Qing's words, Chen Li'an smiled and nodded, then looked at Ji Fa and said, "I think so too, but don't worry, this time I will definitely win the prize."

"Why? Why are you so confident?" Ji Fa was not sure that Chen Li'an would win the award, and was curious where his confidence came from.

Chen Li'an smiled and pouted at Claire on the stage and said, "Claire gave me confidence. Last time at the party he organized, he told me not to miss this awards ceremony."

"What?!" Ji Fa yelled in surprise, and then she covered her mouth and asked in a low voice, "Did he really say that?"

"Of course, otherwise, where do you think my confidence comes from?" Chen Li'an replied, and then looked at Claire who was holding a card in his hand on the stage and was about to announce the Venice Art Biennale, and said to Ji Fa: "Okay, let's announce The final answer, get ready to hear my name."

Ji Fa immediately turned to look at Claire on the stage, waiting for the names of Chen Li'an and Bai Qing to come out of his mouth.

"Now it's time to announce the final prize. In this art exhibition, this work is my favorite." Claire looked at the eager artists in the audience, feeling a little contemptuous in her heart, and then looked at Seeing the indifferent appearances of Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, he said with a smile: "This group of works comes from Chinese artists. Their works combine tradition and modernity, adding a lot of different colors to modern art, and using very innovative methods. , the final award-winning work is "

"Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, a duo of artists from China! The winning work is "Jiangnan——Sunrise at the Boundary of Black and White""

After hearing the unveiling of the final grand prize, all the people in the field turned their eyes to the works of Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, and watched the two standing in the works give their applause one after another.

Although I feel very jealous and disappointed in my heart, everyone is an artist who wants to save face, so I can't show it.

In the warm applause, Ji Fa excitedly took the hands of Chen Li'an and Bai Qing and shouted loudly: "We won the award! We really won the award!"

Chen Li'an and Bai Qing both showed smiles. Seeing Ji Fa who was happier than themselves, they couldn't help pulling her hand and saying, "Let's go to receive the award together!"

Ji Fa was stunned for a moment, she didn't receive any award, but Chen Li'an and Ji Fa didn't give her a chance to think, so they dragged her onto the stage.

Claire looked at the three people who came up, and originally thought that there was only one trophy, whether to award the trophy to Chen Li'an or Bai Qing, but now it seems that there is a new answer.

After the three of Chen Li'an came to the stage, he and Bai Qing pushed Ji Fa to the front at the same time, signaling Claire to give the trophy to Ji Fa.

Claire took the trophy from the Miss Etiquette and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have presented an award to an art manager. Although I don't like them, I have to admit that their existence has promoted the development of art and helped a lot of people. artist."

"Jifa, come and accept the awards for your artists, and don't disappoint their kindness and trust." Claire looked at Jifa who was covering her mouth with red eyes, and walked over to put the trophy in front of her.

Ji Fa was filled with emotion, she turned her head to look at Chen Li'an and Bai Qing at a loss, wondering if she wanted to accept the trophy.

"Go on, this honor belongs to the three of us!" Chen Li'an said with a smile.

Bai Qing also looked at Ji Fa with encouragement, and nodded slightly at her.

Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, with uncontrollable tears about to overflow her eyes, she quickly raised her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, calmed down before lowering her head to look at the trophy in Claire's hand.

"I" Jifa wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a single word in the end. She reached out to take the trophy handed over by Claire and said, "Thank you. Thank you."

After seeing the trophy being accepted, Chen Li'an and Bai Qingcai came over and stood beside Ji Fa and said, "Thank you, Ji Fa, for your dedication to us."

Ji Fa had a thousand words in his mind, and just as he was about to speak, Chen Li'an stretched out his hand to stop him.

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "Don't talk, you took the trophy away, let me do the acceptance speech."

After making a joke, Chen Li'an said in a low voice: "Don't cry, it won't be beautiful."

Ji Fa looked at the smile on Chen Li'an's mouth, nodded vigorously, then took his and Bai Qing's hands, put the trophy in their hands and said: "I have already obtained my share of glory, now I will return it to you." you."

After Ji Fa handed over the trophy to Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, she turned around and left the stage.

Seeing such a touching scene, Liu Zhangming and Zhang Xiaogang in the audience were filled with emotions, and in the end Liu Zhangming could only choke out one unsightly sentence.

"Chen Li'an should really go into politics or business. This manager will definitely be determined in the future."

Zhang Xiaogang turned his head to look at Liu Zhangming, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitched, he really didn't know how to complain about his friend and benefactor.

It is obviously a very beautiful thing, why do you think about it so darkly!Those who do business really have a heart!
Chen Li'an and Bai Qing on the stage looked at each other, looked at the trophy in their hands, and said to the microphone at the same time: "We took away the trophy, but the art will stay here forever!"

After speaking, the two walked off the stage together regardless of the surprise of the audience, shouldn't they thank them?Shouldn't you talk about your own experience of artistic creation?
You are so unique.
But it's very artistic!

Sophie Marceau, who also came to the awards ceremony to witness this scene, looked at the Golden Lion Award in Chen Li'an's hand, with a flash of envy in her eyes.

I don't know whether to envy Bai Qing or the Golden Lion trophy, but it should be the latter. What is Bai Qing envious of? Everyone is the same!
Sophie Marceau looked at the trophy in Chen Li'an's hand, walked up to Chen Li'an and said, "Let me touch your golden lion."

"Now?" Chen Li'an said a bit coyly: "It's not very good here, why don't you go back to the hotel later."

Sophie Marceau: "." Going back to the hotel is not something that can be solved by fumbling!
