Chapter 76 75. The Persevering Xu Jinglei (for further reading)
In the melodious piano music, the three people in the red booth were silently thinking about their respective problems.

Chen Li'an's so-called installation art seemed very thoughtful to Ji Fa, but it was different from what she thought.

Installation art is a complete space and whole. This kind of art cannot be sold. It can only be made into exhibition halls or public spaces to make profits through tickets and other means.

This is a very difficult art form to make money, just like performance art, which can often only be recorded through photography and earn a meager amount of money.

What Ji Fa wanted was for Chen Li'an and Bai Qing to create oil paintings for each other, so that it would be convenient for him as an art manager to operate.

Looking at the tangled Ji Fa, Chen Li'an did not explain his thinking to her in detail. Of course, he considered the issue of profit and would not make his work a public space that cannot be moved or collected.

Bai Qing was very interested in Chen Li'an's ideas, and followed Chen Li'an's thinking about how to combine oil painting and photography.

"What do you mean by Chinese style? Do you have a theme in mind?" Bai Qing took the initiative to sit next to Chen Li'an and asked.

Chen Li'an nodded slightly, and talked about the Jiangnan style he saw in Suzhou.

"I want to show the beauty of the oriental classical artistic conception through the form of photography and oil painting, the combination of the new and the old, the East and the West, to show the beauty of the artistic conception of Jiangnan."

Bai Qing is a northerner, and she doesn't have much feeling for the tenderness and affection of Jiangnan. She prefers direct and strong visual impact and emotional expression.

"This is different from what I thought." Bai Qing said with a slight frown.

Chen Li'an cut the steak and said: "In my eyes, Jiangnan is not gentle and affectionate. Its inner rigidity and softness are not distant and desolate, but a kind of suppressed emotion that cannot be stretched."

It was the first time for Bai Qing to hear someone describe Jiangnan's charm as depressive, and he was very curious about what Jiangnan looked like in Chen Li'an's eyes.

Ji Fa sat next to her with her chin propped and couldn't understand what the two were talking about in Chinese. She fiddled with the steak on the plate helplessly and said, "Chen, you can make a work for me to see. , I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Of course, after the film festival is over, I will try to make a work for you to see." After finishing speaking, Chen Li'an turned to look at Bai Qing and asked, "Do you have time in the next few days?"

"Yes, I will go find you after your film festival is over."

"Ah."

Chen Li'an's thoughts are actually related to the movie Fengyue. Through the depressing house in Tongli Water Town, Chen Li'an saw that there are too many struggles and depressions of human nature buried under the picturesque scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's just that the camera can't express the strong color impact, so Chen Li'an thought of using the more free and gorgeous colors of oil paintings to make up for the shortcomings of photography.

Using super-large photos as a canvas, he created strong emotional colors on the gentle and sentimental Jiangnan scenery.

It's just that Chen Li'an hasn't figured out the specific creative idea yet, but just has a general idea. Let's discuss it with Bai Qing after the film festival is over.

After leaving Maxim, Chen Li'an walked on the street with nothing to do, and returned to the National Art Museum of China.

As soon as Chen Li'an arrived at the art museum, he was surrounded by several visiting college students, who looked at Chen Li'an with admiration and asked questions.

Most of these students are from CAFA. They have a strong ability to accept new things and a strong desire for new art forms. They asked Chen Li'an a lot about his creative ideas.

Chen Li'an looked at these people of his own age and was very happy to communicate with them. Everyone only talked about the purity of art, unlike Xu Jinglei who wanted to get close to him in the morning and had other goals.

Seven or eight people chatted for a while, answered their doubts and dispersed.

Chen Li'an, who was at ease again, was going to go out for a cigarette.

"Chen Li'an!"

Just when Chen Li'an walked to the door, he suddenly heard someone calling him, and the voice sounded familiar.It was very similar to the voice of the silent caller the day before yesterday, and Xu Jinglei could indeed get her contact information from the school.

Chen Li'an suspected that it was Xu Jinglei who called him that day.

Xu Jinglei, who was behind the crowd, trotted over and stood opposite Chen Li'an, her bangs on her forehead were a little messy, but she looked very youthful and her smile was sweet and kind.

A 21-year-old woman seems to be born with this kind of youthful vitality, regardless of her appearance, just because of her youthful vitality.

Chen Li'an glanced at her, admiring the girl's perseverance in his heart, so he stopped and looked at her, wondering what she was going to do.

Chen Li'an looked at Xu Jinglei and asked, "Hi, what's the matter?"

"Hi, I'm Xu Jinglei, a sophomore at Nortel." Xu Jinglei smiled and stretched out her hand, as if she was meeting Chen Li'an for the first time.

Xu Jinglei's slender fingers are very attractive, Chen Li'an shook her hand lightly, then withdrew her hand and said, "Chen Li'an is also from Nortel, a freshman."

"I know, your name is well-known in school." Xu Jing pulled her short hair, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Can I spare you a little time? I have a lot of ideas about your works and I want to chat with you." .”

Looking at Xu Jinglei who was acting naturally and gracefully, Chen Li'an said slightly: "Yes, but it will take a while."

After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and lit it, then he looked at Xu Jinglei and asked, "Do you want one?"

"Thank you, I don't." Xu Jinglei looked at the cigarette in Chen Li'an's finger, and suddenly felt that there was no need to hide anything, "Okay, give me one."

Chen Li'an took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Xu Jinglei, then took out a lighter and lit it for her.

Xu Jinglei smoked the cigarette very skillfully, her smoking movements were beautiful, women usually have an unspeakable aura when smoking, even a girl in her early twenties can add a touch of mature amorous feelings.

Xu Jinglei was still very beautiful when she was young, with short hair and a youthful face, she really looked like a talented woman.

"Are you going to be busy later?" Xu Jinglei took a puff of cigarette and looked at Chen Li'an and asked.

"Not busy." Before Chen Li'an finished speaking, the phone in his pocket rang.

Chen Li'an took it out and took a look, then apologized to Xu Jinglei, and went to the side to answer the phone.

A few minutes later, Chen Li'an came back and looked at Xu Jinglei and said, "I'm sorry, I may not be able to chat with you today."

After Xu Jinglei, who was opposite Chen Li'an, was rejected, a hint of disappointment flashed in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface, she still said calmly and generously: "Since it's inconvenient for you, I'll ask you for advice next time."

"Um, sorry."

After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Xu Jinglei.

"Hey, can I leave a contact information? I'll ask you next time."

Contact information?Chen Li'an was a little strange. Could it be that it wasn't Xu Jinglei who called, but the voice was very similar.

Chen Li'an turned his head to look at Xu Jinglei, hesitated for a moment and gave her his mobile phone number.

Xu Jinglei took the notebook she had prepared a long time ago and wrote it down. She was a little surprised that Chen Li'an had a mobile phone, so why did he leave the number of the public phone booth on the school's contact list.

However, Xu Jinglei did not express these doubts. After quickly writing down the number, she raised her head and reported it again to confirm with Chen Li'an.

"That's right, next time I call, I have to leave first. Goodbye." Chen Li'an waved at Xu Jinglei and left quickly.

Looking at Chen Li'an's back, Xu Jinglei suddenly shouted, "Can I do it tomorrow? I'll come tomorrow."

Chen Li'an stopped in his tracks, looked back at Xu Jinglei and said, "No problem, see you tomorrow."

　Everyone must follow up, I want to rush to Sanjiang, gentlemen, you must follow up tomorrow!Please!
