Chapter 168 166. Artists with Traffic
In the quiet courtyard, Chen Li'an, who had just had a soft meal, put away his phone and entered the room, and saw that Chen Meiren had already finished her bath and was waiting for her.

However, Chen Li'an feels that he has been in the sage's time recently, and he only has physical respect for Chen Meiren in sexy pajamas, but psychologically there is no wave.

With one palm under the pillow, Chen Meiren touched the special little umbrella, and hooked her fingers at Chen Li'an.

"Well, I'm not sleepy yet. I want to read the script of the Red River Valley. Although I don't invest in it, the script is really good." Chen Li'an made an excuse and said.

Chen Meiren frowned, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "When will the script not be read, and there is no investment, so I don't know if it can be filmed."

"Did you lose your feelings for me?" Chen Meiren immediately sat up, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, her small face was puffy, like a kitten about to get angry.

Chen Li'an hurried over to appease him, and proved himself with his actual actions.Chen Li'an pinched Chen Meiren's chin, put one arm around her waist, and said softly, "Why don't I have feelings for you? If you don't believe me, touch it."

Chen Meiren grabbed her little hand lightly, then looked at Chen Li'an with winking eyes and said, "I have prepared a surprise for you, please take a closer look at my dress."

Chen Li'an looked down, saw through the white translucent pajamas at a glance, looked down again, and suddenly felt dry mouth.

through!Why is it still true? Keke, there are too few fabrics, and the lace skirt can't cover the thighs. The faint feeling and the lighting are extra sexy.

Chen Li'an immediately left the time, hugged Chen Meiren and said: "I think it will look better if I go to the bathroom and get soaked in the shower."

"Where do you have so many weird ideas." Chen Meiren hooked Chen Li'an's neck, breathed softly in his ear and said softly: "But I like you the most."

Who doesn't like the temptation of wet body, looming is the most advanced sexy.

However, you must pay attention to the water temperature when taking a bath in early autumn, otherwise you will catch a cold easily. After coming out of the bathroom for more than an hour, Chen Meiren felt a little groggy, her face was red, her limbs were weak and her limbs were a little sore.

Chen Li'an touched Chen Meiren's forehead, and he was relieved after confirming that he didn't have a fever.

Chen Meiren hugged Chen Li'an like a stove, rubbed her arms in his arms and said, "Don't move, it's so comfortable to hold you, just sleep in this position."

"Well, but can you let go of your hand first, I can't sleep like you." Chen Li'an looked down and said helplessly.

"No, it's so warm, cover your hands for me, you have to keep it! I'll keep you warm later."

"I, you. Is this heating serious?"

"Correct! But you must keep it first."

In the dark bedroom, Chen Li'an closed his eyes and sighed faintly.

The next morning, Chen Li'an looked at Chen Meiren, who was still sleeping soundly, and quietly let go of her fingers, and then carefully got up.

After tidying up, Chen Li'an was ready to leave, but before he left, he couldn't help scratching Chen Meiren's nose lightly, because he had too many bad sleeping habits!
Chen Li'an still wants to go to Bai Qing's for a soft breakfast. It's really impossible for a man to have no money.

At a quarter past seven, Chen Li'an came to Bai Qing's house with breakfast in hand, knocked on the door for a long time before Bai Qing came to open the door with resentment on his face.

"Why are you here so early!" Bai Qing yawned, wanting to kick Chen Li'an out.

Chen Li'an shook the breakfast in his hand and said, "Aren't I afraid that you won't have breakfast? You don't know good people."

"I don't want to eat. I want to continue to sleep. You can sleep with me for a while." Bai Qing didn't even look at the breakfast, and dragged Chen Li'an to the bedroom.

It seems that he still can't eat breakfast, and can only eat soft rice. Chen Li'an followed Bai Qing to the bedroom, and turned into a pillow that couldn't move, talk, or breathe loudly, and let Bai Qing hug him with hands and feet and sleep soundly.

It turned out that it was really a sleeping companion. Chen Lian looked at the ceiling. This was the first time he had done this kind of sleeping with him. He must perform well and not let Miss Fu down.

It's just that Chen Li'an didn't hold on for a while, and fell asleep himself. When he woke up, it was already past twelve noon.

Looking at the empty big bed, Chen Li'an was annoyed that his performance was not good, why he still slept so soundly.

Chen Li'an went out to search around, and in the study, he saw Bai Qing wearing a loose T-shirt, sitting obliquely on a chair, with a carving knife in his hand, carefully carving on the already formed sculpture.

Standing at the door, Chen Li'an could only see that the sculpture was a bust of a man, but he couldn't see his face, so he went around and took a look, and was surprised to find that it was himself.

"How is it? Does it look like it?" Bai Qing put down the carving knife in his hand, wiped the palm of his hand on the rag casually, took a half step back and looked at it and said: "I can't always carve your eyes well, there is no charm .”

Chen Li'an carefully looked at the sculpture that was almost exactly the same as himself, and then looked at the somewhat hollow eyes and said, "It would be nice if the eye sockets were a little deeper."

Hearing this, Bai Qing leaned over to look at Chen Li'an and then at the sculpture, then picked up the carving knife and scraped lightly on the eye socket of the sculpture a few times.

The originally somewhat empty eyes immediately became much deeper. Bai Qing was a little surprised by this change, and excitedly pulled Chen Li'an and asked, "Do you think there is anything else that needs to be changed?"

Chen Li'an looked at it for a while and said, "The overall ratio seems to be a bit wrong. It may be very troublesome to adjust it."

"There is indeed one thing. I haven't touched this for two or three years, and my hands are raw." After staring at his work for a while, Bai Qing directly grabbed a carving knife and inserted it into the chin of the sculpture, forcefully Cut off a chunk of it.

Chen Li'an's eyelids twitched, and he touched his chin subconsciously.

"Look again, isn't it much better?" Bai Qing asked after smoothing out the missing piece with his fingers.

Chen Li'an stroked his chin and said seriously and responsibly, "It's perfect, just like looking in a mirror."

Bai Qing glanced at Chen Li'an, threw the carving knife in his hand on the table, sat on the chair and asked, "Why do you want so much money? Where is your money?"

"For investment." Chen Li'an didn't explain it so clearly.

"Okay, I'll transfer it to you at the bank later." Bai Qing didn't care, and then asked, "What did you tell me about signing the contract last time? What are you going to say to Ji Fa?"

Chen Li'an held a piece of clay in his hand casually, thought for a while before saying: "Ji Fa mainly deals in artworks. If I want to hold an exhibition, she can't help much. Managers and curators The difference is still huge.”

"Of course the main reason is that Ji Fa is not interested in installation art and performance art, nor does he make money."

Bai Qing nodded, not to mention Ji Fa, she is not very interested in performance art and installation art, but considering the current domestic art atmosphere and business environment, installation art has just sprouted, and many artists are still at home Do installation art?

Performance art is even more vigilant. If you go too far, you will be arrested, locked up for a few days, and then educated.

Ideological education is very interesting. Ideological education for artists will only make them feel unfree in the end, and the effect of education will not be achieved at all.

This is true. In the past few years, there have been many performance arts that have been arrested and educated in Beijing, but no one understands this art form.

"So that's why you want to sign a contract with that Cheng Shufen?" Bai Qing paused and asked seriously, "But isn't she a celebrity manager? It has nothing to do with installation art or performance art."

Chen Li'an smiled and said: "Individually, it is not relevant, but her company has a lot of curatorial experience in Asia and even around the world, and they are also looking for new attempts. The combination of entertainment brokerage and art is very suitable for installation art. develop.

Installation art itself has a commercial nature, which is the interaction between people and public space. There are not many large shopping malls in China, so it is not suitable for installation art at all. Even if you want to create a public art space alone, the domestic business environment is not suitable. "

Chen Li'an sighed and said, "If it wasn't for the current domestic economic development, I don't want to sign a contract to restrict myself. It is difficult for installation art itself to be separated from the well-developed brokerage conditions."

Installation art has become very popular abroad, but it is still in its infancy in China. The current domestic focus is on economic development, and it has not yet reached the point of combining economy and art.

Even the 798 Art Center in Beijing will not be established until a few years before people notice the commercial value of public art spaces. Chen Li'an now wants to play installation art in China, apart from having fun with a group of people at home, basically There is no possibility of success.

It doesn't matter if you are self-conscious, the main reason is that there is not so much space in China for Chen Li'an to engage in installation art, and you can't just buy a house for just one work.

Calculated based on Chen Li'an's strong desire to create, how many houses would he have to buy.

It will be much better in areas with developed commerce. Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, New York and other places have a large number of public art spaces. Even if the conditions are worse, large shopping malls will also have demand for installation art.

But these are just Chen Li'an's own thoughts, he has not told Cheng Shufen that if Cheng Shufen's final development plan is biased towards actors and entertainers, then Chen Li'an will not sign the contract.

On the contrary, even if Cheng Shufen's plan is not perfect and does not meet Chen Li'an's expectations, as long as Chen Li'an chooses to sign a contract with her as long as it is more in favor of artistic development, the details can be discussed. If the general direction is wrong, then there is no point in playing.

Even Chen Li'an himself has thought about how to combine celebrity and art. If he has enough fame and fans as a celebrity, then the installation art he makes will naturally have commercial value, so there is no need to worry about profit.

There will even be more cooperation with some shopping malls. Which one is more likely to be welcomed by shopping malls, an installation art of a star or an installation art that is not well-known among ordinary people.

To put it bluntly, it is self-contained traffic!

After Chen Li'an chatted with Bai Qing for more than half an hour, Bai Qing also understood Chen Li'an's plan, and felt that this was indeed a good entry point. Art also needs business and survival.

It's just that Bai Qing suddenly thought of something interesting, so he quickly found his new mobile phone and made a call.

"Hey, Master Li, are you just starting work now? Don't do it now. I will pay you normally when I notify you."

After talking on the phone, Bai Qing looked at Chen Li'an and said, "I think it's better for others to see your stuff before you sign the contract. Our studio is your first art space!"

Chen Li'an guessed it when he heard Bai Qing's call, and said with a smile: "This is the best, but it doesn't work now, you can lend me the money first, I will use it urgently."

The enthusiastic Bai Qing rolled his eyes when he heard Chen Li'an's words, and said, "Destroy the atmosphere! If you don't pay the money, you can start a decoration company in the future, and make money and pay me back while playing with your installation art!"

"No, you're afraid that I won't pay for 100 million. The painting I painted for you is worth more than that now, okay!" Chen Li'an gave Bai Qing an angry look.

Bai Qing snorted softly and said, "You gave it to me, and you borrowed the money yourself, unless you are willing to give it to me!"

"Stingy woman." Chen Li'an snorted, then thought of the decoration company that Bai Qing just mentioned, suddenly thought of an idea, and said to Bai Qing: "You said that if I build a public art space in every city, then Can you make money by selling some arts and crafts or coffee, clothes and so on?"

"Don't ask me if you don't know, I'm not interested in money."

"Then I won't pay you back."

"Okay, it will be a dowry."

"I'll pay you back next year!"

"roll!"
