Chapter 190 188. Amorous scumbag is the worst
The streets of Central at night are very lively, even the remote alleys are still full of people.

The smell of food is wafting in the air, such as rice noodles, fish balls, beef offal, wontons, barbecued pork. The taste of all kinds of food mixed together constitutes the characteristic night market of Xiangjiang.

Chen Li'an and his group came out of the beef brisket shop and wandered on the side of the road like ordinary citizens. Occasionally, someone recognized Zhang Guorong and Wang Zuxian and came over to say hello.

It seems that they are all used to seeing stars on the street.

But it's not surprising when you think about it, Xiangjiang is so big, and there are so many celebrities, it's quite normal to meet a few celebrities while walking on the street.

The only one who was a little unhappy was Wang Zuxian. In order not to gossip, she had no choice but to hold Chen Li'an's hand and walk together.

Although you have quit the circle, the paparazzi will still chase you every day to take sneak shots when they see that your relationship is exposed, which will affect your life very much.

There are so many boring people, no one can do anything about it, Wang Zuxian hasn't had any new news for nearly a year, her life has become much calmer, and she doesn't want to get into big news at this time.

Although there was no way to walk together holding hands, the two were still very close. Chen Li'an looked at Wang Zuxian with a bunch of fish balls in his hand and asked, "Are you confident in this exam? Xiangjiang University is not easy to take the exam."

"I do have confidence, but it feels a bit difficult. I can't say how many scores I can get in the test." Wang Zuxian said with some worry in her heart.

Zhang Guorong said next to him: "It must be no problem. Didn't you apply to a Canadian school? There must be one."

"Canada is very good. The environment is good and it's a new environment. There are no such annoying things." Cheng Shufen glanced at the dog who came out of nowhere and said with emotion.

Wang Zuxian glanced at the paparazzi in the distance, and said with some confusion: "I actually like Canada quite a bit, but Li'an thinks it's not good there and doesn't want me to go there."

"Why?" Zhang Guorong looked at Chen Li'an and asked.

Chen Li'an bit the fish ball and said vaguely: "A foreign country is not as good as you said. I actually hope that Zu Xian can go to the mainland and go to school without taking exams. You can be a teacher."

Several people were speechless, what the hell would it be to be a teacher directly, especially Wang Zuxian resisted the urge to hit Chen Li'an and said, "What kind of teacher can I be?"

"Honorary professor, take a few classes if you have time, and take whatever you want, it's very easy." Chen Li'an shrugged his shoulders and said.

Wang Zuxian shook her head and said, "I don't want it, how can I be a teacher, I just want to learn."

"Okay, then I wish you a good grade in the exam." Chen Li'an threw the sign in his hand into the trash can, and seeing that he was about to arrive at Wang Zuxian's house, he said to Zhang Guorong and Cheng Shufen: "Go home early tonight and rest. La."

Zhang Guorong stared at Chen Li'an with wide eyes and said, "It's so early, let's go back and play mahjong!"

"No, Zu Xian and I are going back to rest!" Chen Li'an immediately refused.

Wang Zuxian also echoed, "I'm so tired from the exam today, I don't want to play mahjong."

"Why don't you rest when you go back?" Zhang Guorong snorted and said, "Who doesn't know what you are doing when you go back!"

"I know you still call us to play mahjong!" Chen Li'an gave Zhang Guorong a white look and said, "Mr. Tang and Sister Shufen are too indulgent with you. They play mahjong every day and their health is ruined. If you become depressed in the future, I will kill you." Capture the Potala Palace and become a monk!"

"Why do you feel depressed playing mahjong?" Zhang Guorong replied without confidence, feeling that Chen Li'an could really do such a thing.

"Let's go, take us back." Chen Li'an couldn't help but pull Zhang Guorong to cover himself and Wang Zuxian.

Under the cover of Zhang Guorong and Cheng Shufen, Chen Li'an and Wang Zuxian went back together smoothly.

As soon as Zhang Guorong and Cheng Shufen left, Wang Zuxian hugged Chen Li'an, and the dry firewood would catch fire naturally.

Clothes were scattered all the way from the gate to the living room to the bedroom.
The panting sounds of the two people coming from the bedroom intertwined and did not subside for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Li'an carried Wang Zuxian to the bathroom.Wang Zuxian hugged Chen Li'an's neck, shook her feet and said, "Don't get it on your legs next time."

"Then on the feet." Chen Li'an looked at Wang Zuxian's swaying little feet and said.

Wang Zuxian pinched Chen Li'an's chest and said, "You can't be normal."

"No!" Chen Li'an said confidently.

Wang Zuxian: "." Abnormal, I will trample you to death later!
The next morning, Chen Li'an shivered in a daze. When he opened his eyes, he saw the bulging and undulating quilt, and couldn't help but gasped.

It's worth begging for so long last night, Zu Xian is the best!
"Bah, bah, bah!" Wang Zuxian glanced at Chen Li'an resentfully, kicked him angrily and said, "You can't tell me in advance!"

Chen Li'an handed over a glass of water and said, "I can't help it."

"Hmph, there's no next time!" Wang Zuxian took the cup and ran to the bathroom.

Women are just stubborn, saying that there will be no next time, but there will still be. After the first time, are you still worried that there will be no next time?
More than an hour later, Chen Li'an came to Cheng Shufen's company alone, looking through the plans she had made for herself.

Cheng Shufen said from the side: "The early plan is to make movies first. Your reputation in Xiangjiang is still too small. After you have a certain reputation, the company will start the art space project."

After reading all the plans, Chen Li'an couldn't help asking: "The plan is very detailed and highly executable, but the cost of planning the art space you chose is too high. Xiangjiang is very expensive, so there is no need to go to such a good location. I think the underground is very good."

"Another point is that the derivatives of art spaces are not successful in art museums all over the world, and the profits are minimal, but in the final analysis, these things are not popular enough for people's lives, so naturally no one will buy them. The luxury products in this plan are too high-end. .”

Cheng Shufen looked at Chen Li'an and asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that the price is limited and the price is high?"

"Limited and high prices refer to works of art, not derivatives. Derivatives should be standard commodities, but with a certain artistic atmosphere." Chen Li'an thought of the Forbidden City, and then said: "To give a simple example, such as lunch boxes and tea sets , vase ornaments, table lamps, notebooks, note paper, water cups, small jewelry”

"The important thing is to make life popular, and to turn high art into a common thing in people's life. Art is not a rigid need, but we can turn it into a rigid need and let art enter life."

After Cheng Shufen finished listening, she looked at the coffee cup in front of Chen Li'an and said, "You are right. If there is an artistic water cup and an ordinary water cup, and the prices are not much different, most people will choose the artistic water cup."

"Art space itself is a brand and an attitude towards life. The focus is on the "artwork and attitude" in the art space, not a store of a certain luxury brand is an art space."

After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he couldn't help sighing, if he had so many connections and enough funds, he would do it himself.

After Cheng Shufen heard Chen Li'an finished speaking, she looked at Chen Li'an with a smile in her eyes and said, "Li'an, but if this is the case, isn't this brand your own?"

"Otherwise." Chen Li'an opened his hands and said, "I want people to enter the art space because it sells watches or luxury bags. It must be because of art."

Cheng Shufen looked at Chen Li'an with a chuckle and said, "Okay, let's talk about your conditions now, I know you are definitely not satisfied with the current contract."

Chen Li'an said seriously: "I won't say anything about the artist agent, but the art space must ensure that [-]% of the profits are used to operate and develop new art spaces every year, and support other young artists. Secondly, I must improve myself. [-]% is too little, and Korean brokerage companies are not as black as yours."

Even if Chen Li'an cooperates with other art museums, he can get more than [-]% of the money, not to mention that he has given so many suggestions.

Cheng Shufen thought for a while and said: "The first condition can be agreed. If the art space is made into a brand or even an industrial chain, it is not enough to rely on you alone, but the second condition I need to re-discuss with the company."

"Well, then I'll wait for your news."

Cheng Shufen put away the proposal, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Aren't you afraid that we will use your idea and not cooperate with you?"

"Why should I be afraid." Chen Li'an said strangely: "The foundation of all this is the artist himself. Can you find a more suitable artist than me?"

"There are many artists in the world who are more famous than me, but who will cooperate with you? Are you going to train an artist yourself? Or sell mugs in supermarkets as works of art?"

Cheng Shufen fell silent, what she said was too true, there was no way to refute it.

After more than ten minutes, Chen Li'an left Cheng Shufen's company. His conditions had already been raised, and the rest was up to them to decide.

In fact, Chen Li'an didn't care much about how much money he could make, whether it was [-]% or [-]% didn't matter, but he couldn't be a fool.

The condition that Chen Li'an values ​​most is actually the first one, to support young artists. So many young artists in China are still in a state of poverty, and they need help.

It is said that engaging in art does not make money, but Chen Li'an wants to try to make money with them.

Chen Li'an doesn't think he will become a pure artist like Van Gogh, nor does he think his art is so good, but he just makes it when he has inspiration and ideas.

Until now, Chen Li'an still uses the word "playing art" to summarize his creations. He does not regard art as the only life in his life. He is not pure, so he will consider capital and make money, and he will consider that he may be able to help more people.

Chen Li'an didn't leave empty-handed, and took a script with him. Cheng Shufen told Chen Li'an that no matter whether they could reach an agreement in the end, this script was a gift for him.

The movie is the one I have seen before, the Christ of Nanjing adapted from the novel by Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

In Chen Li'an's impression, this movie seemed to be played by Liang Jiahui, and he should have started this project very early, but he didn't know why it ended up in his hands.

It can't be that the butterfly's wings flap a few times and change history.

Chen Li'an came to Zhang Guorong's house with the script and asked about it.

Zhang Guorong sipped his coffee and said, "Jiahe didn't want to invest so much money. Shufen thought the script was good, so she took over and invested a part of it, and wanted to give it to you as a gift."

"Then what if I don't cooperate with Sister Shufen?" Chen Li'an asked curiously.

Zhang Guorong put down the cup in the back and said with a smile: "Then find Ka Fai to act, the director originally wanted to use Ka Fai, but Jiahe gave too little money, and Ka Fai's salary is not low, otherwise it won't be your turn .”

Chen Li'an: "." I was instantly unmoved!Zhang Guorong's mouth is still very poisonous from time to time.

But jokes aside, Chen Li'an is still very grateful to Cheng Shufen for giving him resources.

Although this movie is not a familiar movie, Chen Lian likes it very much. Anyway, he didn't choose the movie because of its popularity.

Otherwise, I would have gone to make TV series a long time ago, and TV series became famous much faster than movies.

This is a very sexy movie, but also a very cruel movie. After reading the script, Wang Zuxian couldn't stop shedding tears, looked up at Chen Li'an and said, "Will you abandon me like that writer one day?" , to find your wife and your children."

Thinking that he would go to Singapore to see Gong Li in a few days, Chen Li'an felt a little weird, but he still said to Wang Zuxian seriously: "I have no wife, nor married, let alone abandon you."

Wang Zuxian hugged Chen Li'an, wiped all the tears from her face to Chen Li'an's chest, and whispered: "I don't want to die alone like Jin Hua, you have to stay with me all the time."

Chen Li'an touched Wang Zuxian's head and said, "I will be with you."

Looking at this scene on the other side of the living room, Zhang Guorong was both moved and angry. Chen Li'an and Wang Zuxian had feelings, but he also knew very well that Chen Li'an's feelings for Wang Zuxian were not undying love.

Amorous scumbags are the worst!

In the evening, Chen Li'an bought a copy of Akutagawa Ryunosuke's original novel. After reading the script, he felt that the director understood Akutagawa Ryunosuke very well. Although the script has changed a lot, the core of the story has basically remained the same. The ability to adapt is much stronger.

Director Cheng shouldn't be angry if he knows, just tell the truth
Early the next morning, Chen Li'an called Cheng Shufen back. He first thanked her for the gift, and then asked directly, "When is the movie going to start?"

Cheng Shufen on the other end of the phone said with a smile: "In mid-April next year, we will shoot in the mainland, are you sure you want to continue?"

"Go, this script is really well written, I like it very much." Chen Li'an replied seriously.

"Okay, I'll ask the director out in a few days, and you guys can meet." After Cheng Shufen finished talking about this topic, she continued: "The company is currently discussing your conditions and new proposal yesterday, and it may take some time before there is a result. "

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, I just have to go to Singapore in a few days, you guys discuss it slowly."

"Okay, then say so."

After Chen Li'an hung up the phone, he looked at the script in his hand, and quickly threw it aside. He couldn't read more now. If he resonated with the character, it would be too bad.

Let's talk about it before the filming starts, a man without faith falls in love with a woman with faith, betrayal, cheating and exploiting is simply the scumbag among scumbags.

Chen Li'an didn't want to resonate with the character now, that would be too bad, the most important thing is that after the death of the heroine, he collapsed in despair, wanted to die for love but didn't have the courage, so he could only torture himself and his wife.

Alas, you scumbag, but the portrayal of human nature is really too profound.

It's hard for Chen Li'an not to love this character, it doesn't matter whether it's positive or negative, he just loves this story, loves this affectionate, despicable and cowardly man.

Different from the stereotyped love movie male protagonists nowadays, the scumbags have come up with new tricks.

The Japanese are still perverted.

Chen Li'an stayed in Xiangjiang for almost a week before leaving for Singapore. Gong Li urged her several times in a row.

At Xiangjiang Airport, Wang Zuxian looked at Chen Li'an with some reluctance and asked, "Come back quickly, every time you come for a few days and leave."

"Well, I will do it as soon as possible." Chen Li'an squeezed Wang Zuxian's hand and said, "I hope to see you being admitted to Xiangjiang University when I come back."

After Chen Li'an entered the boarding gate, Zhang Guorong looked at Wang Zuxian who was still there and said, "Let's go, go back and play mahjong."

"I don't want to play mahjong." Wang Zuxian said with her lips pouted.

Zhang Guorong said angrily: "Whatever you want, I said it a long time ago, he is like this, you don't want to let you go to the mainland, and he doesn't want to come to Xiangjiang, you just get used to it."

Wang Zuxian let out an oh, then looked at Zhang Guorong and asked, "Brother, what do you think he is going to Singapore for? Is he really going to participate in an art exhibition?"

Zhang Guorong hesitated for a moment and said: "You have already guessed it yourself, but let me tell you, why don't you bring you with you if you participate in the art exhibition."

Wang Zuxian looked at the boarding gate and sighed
Zhang Guorong couldn't help muttering in his heart, what a bad fate, the scumbag deserves to die!
The damn scumbag got off the plane in Singapore more than an hour later.

At the airport in Singapore, Gong Li looked at Chen Li'an who came out of the exit, stood there without moving, just raised her hand and waved.

After Chen Li'an noticed it, he immediately stepped up and walked over. When he came to Gong Li, Chen Li'an took a closer look at her slightly swollen belly, and curiously wanted to reach out and touch it.

Gong Li slapped Chen Li'an's hand off and said, "You don't even know how to greet me when you meet, you know the child, right?"

"Aren't I just curious, why did my stomach get up in less than three months?" Chen Li'an supported Gong Li's waist, a little cautiously, not daring to use force.

Gong Li leaned lightly on Chen Li'an and said, "It means your genes are powerful."

Tsk, that must be a big fat boy.

Chen Li'an followed Gong Li to her house in Singapore. Seeing everything inside and a nanny taking care of her, she felt relieved. She sat on the sofa against Gong Li's stomach and listened to the heartbeat of the fetus.

Seeing Chen Li'an like this, Gong Li couldn't help reaching out and scratching his hair lightly, rubbing his hair and saying, "I still can't hear it yet."

Chen Li'an still clung to Gong Li's stomach, and whispered, "I have good hearing, so I might be able to hear you."

Gong Li couldn't help laughing, but seeing Chen Li'an like this, she felt relieved. Although she didn't plan to marry Chen Li'an, and Chen Li'an was unwilling, she still hoped that Chen Li'an would be a good father.

Chen Li'an listened for a while, then raised his head and said, "Although I didn't hear him, I felt him."

"How does it feel?" Gong Li asked curiously.

Chen Li'an thought for a while and said: "It's like telepathy, I can feel her beating in your stomach, growing up little by little, I can even see what she will look like in the future!"

"You are better than a magic stick!" Gong Li said angrily.

Chen Li'an immediately said: "Really, I will draw it for you to see now, she will definitely look like this in the future!"

Seeing Chen Li'an being so serious, Gong Li also came over and said with interest: "Then you draw it and show me."

Chen Li'an immediately found a pen and paper, and began to draw. Gong Li stood by and looked at the child gradually being drawn on the white paper, and couldn't help but ask, "Why is it a girl?"

"Well, it's a girl!" Chen Li'an said with certainty.

Gong Li: "." Even if you go to the hospital, you won't be able to find out. You will know it after listening to it?
However, the girl Chen Li'an drew was very beautiful and very cute. Gong Li looked at the chubby little girl on the drawing paper, and suddenly felt that this was what her own child would look like in the future.

Gong Li looked at the painting excitedly for a while, then put it down and looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "You didn't draw it on purpose to make me happy, did you?"

"Of course not, you have to believe in science. No, you believe in metaphysics!" Chen Li'an said solemnly.

After all the metaphysics came out, Gong Li felt that Chen Li'an was a little out of order, but she still put the painting in a frame and put it in the bedroom.

After dinner at night, Chen Li'an lay on the bed with his arms around Gong Li's shoulders, and told her everything about him during this time.

Gong Li listened silently to Chen Li'an's words, and gave a lot of advice, then she arched into his arms and looked at her with eyes blindfolded.

Chen Li'an looked at Gong Li like this, and immediately said vigilantly: "It's not three months yet, don't think about it."

Gong Li touched Chen Li'an's body with her small hands and said, "It's only a few days away, and I have already consulted the doctor in advance. Now the fetus is developing stably and is no different from a three-month-old fetus."

"That's not OK!"

"I'll do it!"

"If you keep doing this, I'll go out and sleep!"

"Forget it, sleep!"

Ten minutes later, Chen Li'an's helpless voice sounded.

"Didn't you say sleep? What are you doing now?"

"You sleep yours, you control me!"

"I"

Chen Li'an looked at Gong Li who was sitting on top of him, he didn't dare to move, he could only support her carefully, and let her mess around.
When he got up the next morning, Chen Li'an said to Gong Li, "I'm going back to Xiangjiang today."

"Then why are you in a hurry? What happened?" Gong Li asked while drinking milk.

Chen Li'an glared at her angrily and said, "If I don't leave, I'm afraid my daughter will be gone!"

Gong Li burst out laughing, milk overflowed from the corner of her mouth, she stretched out her hand to hit Chen Li'an and said, "Hurry up, bah, bah, bah!"

Chen Li'an also came to his senses, and quickly poohed a few times, then looked at Gong Li and warned: "You should restrain yourself these two days."

"Got it, got it." Gong Li waved her hand indifferently.

After breakfast and taking a walk with Gong Li, Chen Li'an started reading under Gong Li's arrangement.

Such as "How to be a good father", "Parenting Handbook" and so on.
Chen Li'an doesn't know if he doesn't read it. After reading a few books, he realized that raising a child is so troublesome. He recalled that when he was a child, he felt that his parents raised him very easily. played.

In the next few days, Chen Li'an walked with Gong Li every day, went to the hospital for checkups, and then read a lot of books.

Chen Li'an feels that he will definitely be a parenting expert in the future, and his theoretical knowledge is too rich!

After staying with Gong Li in Singapore for more than a week, Chen Li'an received a call from Cheng Shufen,
"Sister Shufen, have you discussed it?"

Cheng Shufen, who was far away in Xiangjiang, looked at the latest contract with some fatigue and said to Chen Li'an: "We have discussed it, and the company has agreed to your terms, but you must not think why they agreed."

"I think you can make money. Think of it as a business plan, right?" Chen Li'an looked like he was holding a wisdom pearl.

Cheng Shufen smiled wryly when she heard Chen Li'an's words, and said, "That's right, you really know everything."

"What's so strange about this? Investment is all about profit." Chen Li'an thought for a while and said to Cheng Shufen, "Then I'll go back as soon as possible."

Cheng Shufen replied: "Okay, I'll wait for you in Xiangjiang!"

After hanging up the phone, Gong Li looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Are you going back?"

"Well, the plan has been made over there, just wait for me to go back and sign the contract." After finishing speaking, Chen Li'an shook Gong Li's hand and said, "I'll see you later."

"Okay, I know I won't be able to keep you, so go do your work." Gong Li had already made mental preparations, and said without any surprise.

"Well, if you have something to call me, I'll fly over right away."

After staying in Singapore for a few days, Chen Li'an flew back to Xiangjiang, and signed a contract with Cheng Shufen after returning to Xiangjiang.

The contract is divided into two parts, one part is the artist agency contract, but it is very loose and has almost no constraints. Cheng Shufen does not expect to make money for the company through Chen Li'an's filming.

However, the part about the art space is very rigorous and long, each item is very rigorous, and all possible situations that may be encountered are written in the contract.

Whether it is the share or various obligations and breaches of contract, it may be very clearly written. It is completely different from ordinary artist management contracts. This is a commercial cooperation contract.

Chen Li'an has a 40.00% share, but it includes 30.00% of operating and support funds, which means Chen Li'an only has [-]%.

Wang Zuxian helped Chen Li'an hired a lawyer and his assistant to study for an afternoon before finally confirming that there was no problem with the contract, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Looking at the signed contract, Chen Li'an smiled and stretched out his hand to Cheng Shufen and said, "I will trouble Miss Shufen from now on."

"I hope we have a happy cooperation." Cheng Shufen also stretched out her hand and said with a smile.

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "Of course, I hope we can open the art space to the United States and Europe!"

Cheng Shufen smiled and said, "I hope so, I wish us success."

This trip to Xiangjiang was basically completed, but Chen Li'an didn't plan to go back so early, Wang Zuxian was obviously a little bit wrong in the past two days, Chen Li'an was worried that if he left, Wang Zuxian would think wildly.

On the balcony at night, Wang Zuxian sat on the small sofa with her legs crossed and looked outside in a daze.

Chen Li'an walked over and followed her gaze. A couple was running at night together, so he walked up to her and asked, "Want to go out?"

Wang Zuxian shook her head, turned to look at Chen Li'an and said, "I just feel a little lonely, as if I am the only one in the world, and everyone will leave me."

Hearing this, Chen Li'an hugged Wang Zuxian, patted her on the back and said softly: "I will be here, as long as you don't leave me, I won't leave, even if I'm not in Xiangjiang, as long as you call me, I will Appear immediately."

Hearing this, Wang Zuxian hugged Chen Li'an, rubbed her head in his arms twice and said, "Then you will do what you say, and promise not to lie to me!"

Chen Li'an was silent for a while and said, "I promise."

(I still got it now, and I took a nap halfway. I really can't control my sleepy brain.)
