Chapter 181 179. Chen Li'an's First Premiere

In the quiet courtyard, a few pigeons stood on the bare branches in the yard with fluttering wings, and there were a few pigeon whistles from far away.

The pigeon squatting on the branch suddenly flapped its wings and flew away. Chen Li'an looked away, looking at the tree in the yard, and was a little confused whether to cut it down or move it away.

"This tree looks old, so it's a pity to cut it down." Chen Li'an turned his head to look at Bai Qing and said.

Bai Qing pointed to a severed branch and said, "This tree is dead, so cut it down, and transplanting it won't save you."

On the straight trunk of the ginkgo tree, a broken branch was so dry that it didn't look like it. Chen Li'an took a closer look to confirm that the tree was really dead.

However, looking at the dead tree, Chen Li'an suddenly had a new inspiration. The dead tree and this old courtyard house seemed inexplicably in line with his own theme.

At first, I thought the tree was alive before I considered whether to cut it or transplant it. Now that the tree is dead, I don't need to move it.

After walking around the tree twice, Chen Li'an sat on the stone table in the yard, basking in the sun and took out his design draft from his bag.

"You want to change it again?" Bai Qing came over and asked.

Chen Li'an sharpened his pencil and hummed, looked up at the tall ginkgo tree and said: "But the branches need to be trimmed, and this tree can be used as the center and support of the whole work, so you don't have to worry about load-bearing and structural issues. "

The design draft placed on the bluestone table shows a complex criss-cross steel structure. If there is no good support point, load bearing is indeed a problem.

Bai Qing thought for a while and said, "That's a good idea."

Chen Li'an put down the utility knife in his hand.Gently blow off the pencil dust on the edge of the table, looked up at Bai Qing and said, "I will redraw the drawings, there are not many changes, you will be responsible for changing the color of this yard."

"Well, but are you sure you want to change all the colors?" Bai Qing asked while looking at Chen Li'an's drawings.

This unrenovated courtyard house is full of blue-gray bricks and walls, and the wooden doors and windows that have been painted are not strong, and it is a bit too desolate and dilapidated.
This is not what Chen Li'an wants to feel, so he nodded and said: "All changes, all re-colored, but this project is not small, so you will be responsible for the color correction, and then just find a worker to do it."

Bai Qing nodded slightly, took his bag and went out to look for the little worker who was squatting on the street looking for work.

Small workers these days are all versatile, carpenters, bricklayers and painters often have two or three skills, and the wages are not much.

In less than an hour, Bai Qing came back with two workers and rode a tricycle with more than 20 small buckets of paint in the bucket.

Chen Li'an has almost changed the drawings now, looking at the workers carrying paint into the yard, Chen Li'an put down his pen, walked up to Bai Qing and said, "You can stay busy here, I'll go to the building materials market to order materials."

Bai Qing was counting the paint, when he heard that, he waved at Chen Li'an and let him go about his own work.

Chen Li'an's installation art requires a lot of steel and cement, and also requires super-large colored glass to combine, turning the light source of the entire space into the color he wants.

There are a lot of things that need to be purchased. After wandering around the building materials market all day, Chen Li'an ordered all the required materials.

However, all these materials would not be delivered until the day after tomorrow at the earliest, and Chen Li'an Er Er was not idle. He and Bai Qing helped color the courtyard in the courtyard, and two master painters were painting according to the drawings.

The pungent smell of the paint was very strong. Wearing masks, Chen Li'an and Bai Qing added various colors into a large bucket, and then kept stirring to mix.

Chen Li'an picked up a bit of paint with a brush and took a look in the sun. After confirming that it was exactly the same as Bai Qing's color tone yesterday, he rolled up his sleeves and took the paint with him to join in the work of painting the wall.

After painting for a whole day, the color of the entire courtyard has been completely changed. The blue-gray and black that are full of the atmosphere of the times have decorated the entire courtyard, and the characteristics of the original courtyard have been diluted, so that it will no longer give people a strong first impression. impression.

The repainted courtyard will also prevent people who see the work from automatically substituting their perspective into the fixed impression of a courtyard house, and the title and width of the work will also be enlarged accordingly.

Looking at the results of a whole day's work, Chen Li'an couldn't help but nodded, looked at Bai Qing who was rubbing his temples beside him, and shouted with a smile: "Work is over today!"

The yard is full of pungent smell, and after smelling it for a long time, it will make you dizzy. Not to mention Bai Qing feels a little uncomfortable, Chen Li'an also feels a little headache.

After returning home at night, Chen Li'an washed two cabbages, held one in his arms and handed the other to Bai Qing, saying, "Naw it raw. It can detoxify."

Bai Qing looked at the huge cabbage in front of him, and said angrily, "I'm not a rabbit, so I won't eat it!"

"Eating a few bites can really detoxify." Chen Li'an couldn't help but stuff the cabbage into Bai Qing's arms and said, "Don't go tomorrow, you won't be able to help with the rest of the work, come back when you need to color it at the end. "

Bai Qing hugged the cabbage and hummed, seeing Chen Li'an chewing hard, couldn't help taking a bite, it was sweet and delicious
For the next few days, Chen Li'an directed the workers in the courtyard to place steel pipes of different lengths and thicknesses in a haphazard manner according to his requirements.

As time went by, there were more and more steel pipes in the yard, and the originally empty yard slowly became crowded. Countless steel pipes criss-crossed like bamboo shoots growing from the ground, and there were pouring holes in inconspicuous corners. Concrete pillars of various shapes came out.

The steel pipes are the branches, and the cement stone pillars are like the trunk, but there is still a lack of green leaves and flowers.

Chen Li'an looked at the custom-made colored glass, and began to place colored glass of different sizes and colors between these steel pipes and cement columns.

Under the refraction of the sun, the whole courtyard became psychedelic, all the light seemed to be painted, hitting the blue-gray walls, forming beautiful light spots.

Chen Li'an held a long piece of glass in his hand, constantly adjusting the angle, trying to adjust the most perfect light spot.

The placement of the colored glass took Chen Li'an a whole week to complete, and the whole work was half completed at this time.

For the remaining half, Chen Li'an is still waiting for the materials to be delivered before he can make them.

However, it happened that Chen Li'an was able to attend the premiere of the winners during this free time. In [-], when there was no concept of a Lunar New Year file, it was not a good time for the movie to be released at this time.

However, the New Year's Day holiday can also be touched throughout the schedule, which will help the box office more or less.

In the Victory Cinema, there was a very simple and crude premiere, but many people came, more than a dozen reporters, as well as people from the Disabled Persons' Federation and Han Shanping from the Beijing Film Studio.

However, Chen Li'an was not very interested in these people, because he also saw a wonderful person.

"Cough" Chen Li'an coughed lightly, touched Ning Jing lightly with his shoulder and asked, "You called Jiang Wen here?"

Ning Jing snorted coldly, and said in an unhappy tone: "I don't do that kind of thing, there are no men left in this world!"

Chen Li'an curled his lips, and then asked about the Red River Valley.

"I don't believe it. I have already told the factory, but it will take a while to find out if it will work." Tranquility explained, and then asked curiously: "Have you painted recently? Can you show me?" ?"

"Are you interested?" Chen Li'an asked curiously.

Tranquility raised her eyebrows and said proudly: "I have learned to draw since I was a child. If I hadn't been fooled at that time, I wouldn't be an actor."

"I really didn't see it. It's rare to be able to sit still with your temper." Chen Li'an replied with a smile. After noticing Jiang Wen and Huo Jianqi coming together, he immediately whispered to Ning Jing: "Jiang Wen, come here." Oh, don't get angry later, there are quite a few reporters."

Ning Jing turned her head to look at Jiang Wen, who was smiling heartily, and turned her back with a snort.

Chen Li'an was worried that Ning Jing couldn't help but quarrel with Jiang Wen later, so he took the initiative to take a step forward to greet him and said, "Long time no see, you didn't go to Venice last time, and I regret not being able to have a drink with you."

Jiang Wen's eyes lingered on Ning Jing for a moment, then looked at Chen Li'an and said, "The wine in Venice is not good, how can it be as good as our Erguotou, let's have a drink together after watching the movie tonight."

"That's good. Now that the movie is released, I'm finally relieved." Huo Jianqi said with a smile beside him.

Chen Li'an looked at Huo Jianqi with a smile and said: "You are not afraid that your wife will make you kneel on the washboard when she comes home."

Huo Jianqi blushed, glanced at Su Xiaowei who was chatting with others in the distance, and then said stiffly: "Masters drink, she doesn't care."

Seeing Huo Jianqi, who was trying to lose face, Chen Li'an and Jiang Wen looked at each other, and then burst out laughing at the same time, Huo Jianqi's face turned red when he laughed, and finally he couldn't help laughing along with him.

Huo Jianqi comforted himself in his heart because he was afraid that his wife would be ashamed, and still expected his wife to write a script for him.

A few people chatted for a while, and soon entered the theater together. The theater of Victory Cinema is quite big, and the premiere was also full of audiences, most of whom came for Ning Jing.

Although the leading actor is very famous, he is only famous in the literary and art circles, and the audience doesn't know much about it. Although the director has been in this industry for several years, he is just a new director, and the audience doesn't care.

Only Ning Jing, the heroine, became popular all over the country with the role of Milan in the film "Sunny Day" released in September. At that time, many half-grown boys would dream of Ning Jing in a swimsuit when they went to bed at night.

Ning Jing was also very famous before, but it was this sunny day that really made her famous. It can only be said that Jiang Wen is really good at taking pictures of women and buttocks!

The premiere was a bit boring for Chen Li'an, he had seen all the movies, and he was not motivated to act at all. Although it was the first theatrical movie, Chen Li'an still couldn't lift his spirits, and sat with Jiang Wen for a while. They chatted casually.

"Why did you come here?" Chen Li'an asked curiously.

"It happened that director Huo went to promote the Chinese opera that day, so I only watched the first half, and I left beforehand, so I came here to make up for it today." Jiang Wen replied in a low voice. He had seen the first part, but it was not so serious.

Chen Li'an didn't know whether what Jiang Wen said was true or not, but being able to participate was considered to have brought a lot of heat to the movie Winner. You must know that Jiang Wen is now a hot director in China, and the topic is not small.

"Then watch it carefully, I'll squint for a while, and call me when it's over." Chen Li'an couldn't help but yawned and said, then leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes.

During this period of time, I was busy creating and creating in the courtyard, and I didn't have much rest. Chen Li'an is very sleepy now.

Jiang Wen glanced at Chen Li'an who was about to sleep with his eyes closed, and he admired his attitude in his heart. A normal person would start to worry about whether his performance would be recognized by the audience, but he was fine and fell asleep directly!
However, Jiang Wen admired this kind of character, artists are always a bit unique.

When Chen Li'an woke up in a daze, the movie was coming to an end. He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Wen who was concentrating on the side. Chen Li'an yawned silently, rubbed his eyes and scanned the dark movie hall , I found that everyone was watching the movie intently.

The last part of the movie is indeed very exciting and attractive. Chen Li'an can see the excitement and anticipation in the audience's eyes.

The two protagonists are running towards their own future, which is still very inspiring.

Soon the movie was over. As soon as Chen Li'an sat up, there was loud applause in the auditorium. Jiang Wen, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help applauding. Looking at Chen Li'an, he said, "You did a great job. The guy behind Director Huo One episode was handled well.”

"You should tell Director Huo that I won't say thank you to you. He will definitely hold your hand and thank you." Chen Li'an said with a smile.

The lights in the theater were also turned on at this time, Huo Jianqi stood up with a smile on his face, motioned for Chen Li'an and the others to stand up together, and then bowed to all the audience to express his thanks.

After the audience had left, Chen Li'an looked at Huo Jianqi and said, "Director Huo, the premiere is still very successful, you should treat me tonight."

Huo Jian laughed for a while, then subconsciously glanced at Su Xiaowei, seeing that she didn't respond, he smiled and said: "No problem, everyone go today, let's have a drink together to celebrate!"

"There are a lot of people here, Huo, you are going to have a lot of bleeding tonight." Han Shanping said with a smile beside him, and then said with some regret: "It would be great if it was released next year. A lot of box office."

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows. He really didn't expect that the screening during the Paralympic Games would indeed bring in a lot of box office and make more people pay attention to the Paralympic Games.

It's indeed a pity, Chen Li'an glanced at the complacent Huo Jianqi, and shook his head lightly, there's nothing wrong with showing it early, who made Huo Jianqi impatient.

When the group was about to leave the movie theater, a reporter from Popular Film Magazine suddenly came over, directly approached Chen Li'an and said, "Hi, I'm a reporter from Popular Film, I wonder if it's convenient for me to interview you?"

Chen Li'an has been interviewed by popular photography. This is the first time for popular film. He pointed to the few people around him curiously and asked: "There are actors and directors who are more famous than me here. Why do you want to interview me? Can I interview you?" ?”

reverse interview?The reporter froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "I have interviewed them all, so I want to interview you."

Several people around laughed, Jiang Wen patted Chen Li'an on the shoulder and said: "The sales of popular movies are good, interviewing you can help you increase your popularity a lot."

Reputation?Chen Li'an really doesn't care about this thing, he is quite famous now, and everyone in the art circle doesn't know Chen Li'an.

It doesn't matter if you are well-known in the entertainment industry or not. Being famous is really not a good thing for Chen Li'an. He doesn't like a life where people come out everywhere he goes.

"Sorry, I don't have time now, we are going to celebrate, and I will accept your interview next time."

Chen Li'an refused with a smile. Just as he was about to walk away, Huo Jianqi who was next to him immediately said, "We can wait for you, the interview will be soon!"

Seeing Huo Jianqi winking at him, Chen Li'an twitched the corner of his mouth, and could only helplessly look at the reporter and said, "Is 10 minutes enough? If not, next time."

"Enough!" The reporter responded immediately with a smile, then looked towards a quieter corner of the theater and said to Chen Li'an: "Let's go there, it will be over soon."

Chen Li'an nodded and followed. As soon as he sat down, he heard the reporter directly ask: "Can you tell me why you chose to act? As far as I know, you are a very successful artist. You prefer the two identities of actor and artist." which one?"

Chen Li'an pondered for a while and said: "I like them all, but I prefer artistic creation, and there is too little room for actors to develop themselves."

"Then can we talk about your relationship status? What is your relationship with Chen Meiren and Gong Li?" The reporter asked the question he was most concerned about.

One is the heroine of the popular Qiong Yao drama, the most beautiful Diao Chan; the other is the international actress, the actress ceiling.These two people have an unclear relationship with Chen Li'an, who can't be curious!
Moreover, Chen Li'an is still a great artist, the stories of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies are popular in any era.

Seeing the reporter's serious face but hiding gossip in his eyes, Chen Li'an frowned and said directly: "Shouldn't you ask something about movies?"

"That's all for this interview. I don't like sharing my life with others."

After finishing speaking, Chen Li'an turned around and left, leaving the reporter sitting there blankly
It's too embarrassing!Write a manuscript to scold him when you go back!The reporter snorted, put away his notebook and left.

"You are too shy, aren't you afraid that he will deliberately discredit the movie?" Jiang Wen and Chen Li'an asked curiously.

Chen Li'an smiled, pointed to Han Shanping and the leaders of the Disabled Persons' Federation in front, and said, "Do you think he has a chance?"

"You can use your strength to fight!" Jiang Wen looked at Chen Li'an's confident appearance, pointed to Huo Jianqi on the other side with an expression of wanting to hit someone, and said: "Director Huo also plans to use your interview to publicize Woolen cloth."

Chen Li'an: "." I'm hasty, I'm sorry Huo Jianqi!

(It’s done, I’m so sleepy, I’m going to bed, I’ll update it earlier on weekends, and I’ll code when I get up tomorrow!)
