Chapter 183 181. Neither Teacher Chen nor Givenchy
"Here, Li'an has been creating all this time, so I haven't been able to pick you up."

In the alley at the entrance of the courtyard, Bai Qing led Cheng Shufen to the entrance of the studio, opened the door and invited Cheng Shufen to enter.

Cheng Shufen followed Bai Qing's footsteps into the courtyard, and was about to ask Chen Li'an what kind of work he was creating this time, when he was stunned by the sight in front of him.

The moment the cold wind blew, Cheng Shufen seemed to see a monstrous huge wave coming from the ground like lava from a volcanic eruption, swallowing this quaint courtyard.

Cheng Shufen walked in along the specially reserved path, and the afternoon sun shone on the colored glass to reflect the light spots, and the huge waves mixed with red silk threads seemed to engulf her.

At this moment, Cheng Shufen didn't know how to describe her mood. She had seen many works of art, but she had never been so shocked.

Whether it is oil painting or sculpture, the perception is slowly realized, but the installation art is so direct and shocking, and the impact from vision to body and mind is so strong.

Cheng Shufen subconsciously grabbed the bag in her hand. Inside the bag was the plan she had planned for many days, but facing such a shocking scene, she didn't want to take it out.

An artist like this kind of artwork shouldn't be in the entertainment industry. Those plans of mine are not worthy of such a great work.

Chen Li'an, who was adjusting the angle of the glass in the yard, saw Cheng Shufen, stood up, took off the gloves on his hands, threw them aside, walked over and said, "Miss Shufen, I'm sorry, I couldn't pick you up."

Cheng Shufen came back to her senses, looked at Chen Li'an with a complicated expression, sighed and said, "Maybe I shouldn't have come."

"What are you talking about?" Chen Li'an smiled and said to Cheng Shufen: "It's too cold outside, let's go in and talk."

Cheng Shufen nodded subconsciously, and followed Chen Li'an into the house.

Bai Qing also walked in and asked, "Sister Cheng, would you like tea or coffee?"

"It's all right." Cheng Shufen replied with some ecstasy. Looking at the drawings on the table, she couldn't help but reach out and pick up one to read.

This is the design draft of the work outside. Chen Li'an has revised the details many times, and the design draft does not know how many versions have been revised.

Standing by the side, Chen Li'an took the hot tea from Bai Qing and said thank you, then turned to look at Cheng Shufen and said, "Sister Shufen, the conditions here are a bit rough, I'll welcome you in the evening."

Cheng Shufen raised her head and glanced at Chen Li'an when she heard the words, and then scanned the room. There were many oil paintings and some unfinished sculptures in the room. There were also many dots of paint on the white walls, like The starlight that splashes up when inspiration erupts.

"Your place is not simple at all." Cheng Shufen couldn't help saying, thinking of the red stream outside, "This yard is worth at least 1000 million now!"

Hearing Cheng Shufen's words, Bai Qing was stunned for a moment, I only spent hundreds of thousands, and the materials for the installation art were less than 100 million.

"This is not a courtyard house anymore, it's a work of art!" Cheng Shufen said with emotion: "We are in a work of art, how can we say it's simple."

Hearing Cheng Shufen's words, Bai Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, it's not artistic at all to measure art with money!
The value of art itself is not measurable by simple numbers, it is an invisible force, a kind of thought, which will remain in the long river of time, and cannot be replaced by simple numbers.

Bai Qing put a cup of tea in front of Cheng Shufen, turned to Chen Li'an and said, "You talk, I'm going to work outside."

Chen Li'an took a look at Bai Qing, and said to Cheng Shufen after she went out: "The work is not finished yet, and the weather is getting colder and colder, so we have to finish it as soon as possible. Sister Shufen, don't mind."

Cheng Shufen shook her head, held her teacup and looked at Chen Li'an and said, "I understand, compared to what you are doing now, what I want to say is not important at all."

"Sister Shufen, why is she so polite all of a sudden." Chen Li'an was too familiar with her works in the yard every day, and she didn't have the strong feeling of shock that Chen Shufen did, so she couldn't understand why she was so suddenly.

Cheng Shufen looked at the paint still stained on Chen Li'an's clothes, and suddenly couldn't help but said, "Li'an, you should concentrate on making art. I'm really worried that our cooperation will affect the birth of a great artist."

Chen Li'an paused while drinking tea, and felt a little awkward when Cheng Shufen used greatness to describe himself, he was still far from those two words.

"Sister Shufen, don't be so excited, let's talk about your plan first." Chen Li'an skipped the topic just now and said.

Cheng Shufen looked at Chen Li'an and finally sighed, took out a document from her bag and handed it to Chen Li'an, then said with some embarrassment: "I feel that my plan is too vulgar."

Chen Li'an took the proposal with a smile and said, "I'll take a look first."

The content of the plan is mainly divided into two parts, one is about the actor's plan, in which it is guaranteed that Chen Li'an will take on three plays in a year, and the first play after signing the contract has been attached.

A film based on the novel by Japanese writer Akutagawa Ryunosuke, the character is the leading man.

Chen Li'an skipped this part after a quick glance, and turned to the plan at the back, wanting to see how Cheng Shufen planned to market herself as an artist.

The content of this part is a bit different from Chen Li'an's imagination, but it is very interesting, and it is an angle that Chen Li'an hadn't thought of before.

The biggest embodiment of art in the commercial field is design, and everything that can be seen in life cannot be separated from design.

Tables, chairs and benches are industrial designs, clothes are fashion designs, advertisements are graphic designs, and houses are architectural designs.
And design is inseparable from the category of art. The design industry is the perfect combination of art and business.

Cheng Shufen's plan is to build herself into an artist designer, commercialize her designs to the greatest extent, and complement them with the fame brought by actors.

In Cheng Shufen's plan, Chen Li'an can do clothing design, jewelry, and other luxury designs, etc., to form a unique brand, just like the top luxury in the West.

I have to say that Cheng Shufen's idea is very interesting, but Chen Li'an feels a little strange, why does this look a bit like Teacher Chen? Although his surname is also Chen, this Chen is not that Chen.

No, it's not Teacher Chen, but Givenchy's infatuated man of the century!

Chen Li'an felt that he and Mr. Chen had a better aura.
Cheng Shufen looked at Chen Li'an's expression more and more strangely, and felt that she was too commercial and vulgar, how could she use such things to cooperate with artists.

"Li'an, I know my plan is not good enough, so let's forget about this cooperation." Cheng Shufen felt that she was in a work of art, and using such tacky things really insulted the word art.

Hearing Cheng Shufen's words, Chen Li'an looked up at her strangely and said, "I think it's not bad. Art should be like this, in the details of life."

"Let me just say it like this." Cheng Shufen was stunned suddenly, looked at Chen Li'an's serious expression and asked, "You said you think it's not bad?"

Chen Li'an put down the plan and said: "Yes, I think it's very good, but it's not perfect enough, can I add a few more later?"

Seeing that Chen Li'an didn't look like he was joking, Cheng Shufen immediately nodded and said, "Of course! You can add a few more!"

Before coming here, Cheng Shufen prepared a lot of rhetoric and confirmed her bottom line and attitude, but after being baptized by Chen Li'an's works, she instantly put those principles behind her.

This is art!What's wrong with compromising for the sake of art! !

Cheng Shufen's plan is indeed very good. Although it is too commercial, it is not completely worthless. Chen Li'an still sees a lot of bright spots in this plan.

However, there are still many things that need to be modified in the specific plan, and Chen Li'an has to go back and think about it carefully, such as how to integrate his installation art and performance art into it.

The purpose of cooperating with Cheng Shufen is to spend other people's money to make his own art more conveniently. If he only does commercial design, Chen Li'an is too lazy to do it.

Seeing Chen Li'an's approval of her plan, Cheng Shufen had a very strange feeling in her heart, a sense of identity, a kind of confidant. No, no.
Cheng Shufen thought for a long time and couldn't describe the feeling, but she was really moved.

When I returned to the hotel that night and called Zhang Guorong on the phone, I kept praising how great Chen Li'an was, and his artistic attainment was as high as a dozen floors.

Zhang Guorong, who was far away in Xiangjiang, didn't know what Cheng Shufen had gone through, and wondered whether Chen Li'an drugged Cheng Shufen to brainwash her.

After hanging up Cheng Shufen's phone, Zhang Guorong called Chen Li'an, and asked directly, "What did you do to Shufen!"

Chen Li'an, who was researching the new camera, was dumbfounded when he heard Zhang Guorong's question, and he didn't do anything to Cheng Shufen, please don't say such strange things!

Zhang Guorong on the other end of the phone snorted and said, "Shufen called me at night, praising you all the time, and let me go to the capital to see your new works when I have time."

"Isn't it normal to praise me?" Chen Li'an put down the lens in his hand and looked at another camera on the table, which was given to him by Wang Zuxian at the time, so he couldn't help but ask on the phone: "How is Zuxian doing recently? Passed the exam Yet?"

"You don't know how to call and ask yourself. How long has it been since you came to Xiangjiang to see Zuxian?" Zhang Guorong couldn't help but feel worthless for Wang Zuxian on the phone desk.

Why did you fall in love with this scumbag!Not disappointing at all!
Chen Li'an leaned back on the chair, looked at the camera, thought for a while and said, "I'll see her next month, but don't tell her, I'm going to give her a surprise."

"I'm still surprised, I'm afraid it's a shock." Zhang Guorong stabbed angrily, and couldn't help but said: "If you propose marriage, it will be the biggest surprise!"

The corner of Chen Li'an's mouth twitched, fearing that it would frighten him.

Proposal?Impossible in this life!

Will be alone for a lifetime!When I get old, I go to a nursing home, and if I can't walk, I cremate myself and raise a fart!

Do not go to the grave when you die!Not to mention entering the grave of love while alive!

After talking nonsense with Zhang Guorong, Chen Li'an hung up the phone, not wanting to listen to his nagging.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li'an lowered his head and continued to study the new camera. He will go to the studio in a few days to take pictures of that work.

As time goes by, the artworks in the yard will also be lost by the torrent of time, so Chen Li'an wants to use photos to freeze them forever.
