Chapter 82 81. Disillusionment Between Artists and Works of Art
"Whoever doesn't have some unforgettable thoughts can predict the consequences"

In the brightly lit living room, Chen Li'an was sitting cross-legged on the sofa while smearing cream on a baguette while watching TV. Today is the finale of Laughing at Fengyun, and the opening song Smiling at Fengyun is quite nice.

Chen Li'an couldn't help but snorted a few times, but he couldn't remember the content of the TV series, he only remembered that the big villain Guo Jinan and Zhang Guorong looked very similar.

Chen Li'an turned his head and glanced at Zhang Guorong who was playing mahjong on the other side, and suddenly thought that several male stars would become famous because they looked like him.

Seeing Zhang Guorong yelling and urging the concubine to play cards, Chen Li'an thought in his heart that no matter what he could not make April Fool's Day sad.

Just as Chen Li'an was concentrating on dealing with the baguette, Zhang Guorong suddenly turned his head and shouted at him: "Li'an, come here, help Jing Wen to see the cards, she plays so slowly!"

The princess looked at Zhang Guorong and said unhappily: "I'm a novice, it's normal to be slower!"

Under the urging of everyone, Wang Hao threw out a card, then glanced at Chen Li'an, hesitating whether to find a helper, just now she was a bit addicted to cards and was excited, it would be disappointing to find someone to give advice.

Chen Li'an, who was sitting on the sofa, ignored the situation over there, and still focused on solving his own food and clothing problems.

The skin of the baguette is very hard, and Chen Li'an felt a little pain in his cheeks, if it wasn't for being too hungry, he would definitely not eat this thing!

"Li'an, come to the rescue!" Zhang Guorong watched the princess struggle to pick up and put down the cards, and couldn't help but turn around and call Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an was taken aback by Zhang Guorong, and the butter from the knife was directly on his hands.

"Mahjong! Let no one eat!"

Chen Li'an angrily threw the knife in his hand on the table, wiped his hands, got up and walked over.

Chen Li'an's line of mahjong allowed the mahjong table to be quiet for a short while, and then they couldn't help bursting into laughter, especially Liu Jialing's laughter, which was very exaggerated.

Zhang Guorong was stunned, and was about to retaliate, but seeing Chen Li'an approaching aggressively, he held back his words.

This guy is too vicious, it's better not to quarrel with him, it would be embarrassing if you can't win the quarrel.

Chen Li'an went straight to the back of the princess, glanced at her cards, and decisively broke three or five of them, and played three of them out.

"Why are you playing this one? What if there are four?" Wang Hao couldn't help but look back at Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an pointed at the cards on the table angrily and said, "Two of four are down, and Sister Qingxia got three of them right, but no one has four of them, don't you understand?"

The concubine thought about it thoughtfully, and it seemed that this was really the case, and the four pieces might really be gone.

"Li'an, help me save the game, Jing Wen is playing too slowly." Zhang Guorong said immediately, and then urged Liu Jialing, who was the concubine's next family, to play a card.

Chen Li'an nodded, moved a chair and sat behind the princess to act as a dog-headed military adviser.

With Chen Li'an's joining, Wang Hao played cards much faster, and was finally able to maintain the same frequency as the others.

"Thirty thousand?"

"Open seven cakes."

"Sixty thousand, right?"

"Correct!"

After playing for two rounds, Wang Hao finally caught a good hand and could make all the cards. Chen Li'an also got excited, and got closer to thinking about how to play with Wang Hao.

Wang Hao asked Chen Li'an when he was in doubt, and the two of them almost touched their heads without knowing it.

When the princess came back after grabbing a second cake, she couldn't figure out the cards that had already been drawn.

"Do you want to change?" Wang Hao turned her head to look at Chen Li'an and asked in a low voice.

Chen Li'an directly reached out to take the second cake from Wang Hao's hand and punched it out. When his fingertips brushed the back of Wang Hao's hand, he was shocked by static electricity.

"Ah!" The concubine couldn't help but withdraw her hand suddenly and exclaimed, her thin voice was very nice.

Chen Li'an: "." Don't be so ecstatic, please!
The girl who sings is different, her voice is really good, Chen Li'an really wants the princess to sing a song about a woman who is vulnerable to injury.

It must be different from the record, and the sound must be mellow and pleasant.

But such a small accident, everyone didn't care, and continued to play cards.

After playing several more rounds, the game stopped temporarily when everyone was hungry. Chen Li'an was already exhausted from hunger. Looking at Zhang Guorong, he asked, "What's for dinner? I'm so hungry."

Zhang Guorong glanced at the time and said: "Let's go out to eat beef brisket noodles, and continue after eating."

"Let's go." Chen Li'an immediately pushed Leslie Cheung outside, and said eagerly, "You can eat anything!"

Several people went to Central in a car. Zhang Guorong was very picky about his food, and he had to go to a restaurant in Central to eat beef brisket noodles.

Sitting in the co-pilot, Chen Li'an thought of his purpose of coming to Xiangjiang, so he looked back at the princess sitting in the back row and asked, "How is Dou Wei's rehearsal?"

The princess was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "Are you here for the concert?"

"Well, that's right." Chen Li'an nodded and said, "I like rock and roll, and I like Dou Wei's songs."

Zhang Guorong added next to him: "He just came to see the concert, and he pestered me for a long time."

The princess looked at Chen Li'an who didn't rock at all, but she didn't expect him to be a rock fan, so she said, "The rehearsal was good. I went to see it a few times. Shall I introduce you?"

Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "I like songs, not people. If I'm familiar with him, I probably won't like his songs."

What a strange theory!The princess didn't quite understand Chen Li'an's words, her eyes were full of puzzlement.

"It's like an artist and a work of art. If you like a work of art, don't get to know the artist, or you will be disillusioned." Chen Li'an explained lightly, and looked at the princess still a little puzzled, so he gave an example and said: "You Look at brother, can you connect him who plays mahjong with Cheng Dieyi now?"

This is the truth. If you like an artist, don’t go to see his works. If you like a work of art, don’t get to know the artist.

Otherwise, you can't help but marvel, how can such a person create such a work!
The princess nodded suddenly, and Lin Qingxia who was beside her also smiled and said, "This is why celebrities have to package their images. There is a big difference between works and people."

Zhang Guorong couldn't help complaining: "It's hard for me to connect Li'an's film festival with him personally. His works were published in newspapers every day before, and I suspected that he gave reporters red envelopes."

Said that the princess suddenly asked: "Have you heard my song? Is it different from what you thought?"

Chen Li'an thought for a while and said, "Fortunately, your personality is not much different from your song, as long as you don't slap the table and shout nonsense."

"Haha, after all, it's not disillusionment!" Wang Hao laughed and said, "I'm quite curious about what your film festival is like, and I must see it when I have the chance."

"I invite you to see it when I have a chance." Chen Li'an said with a smile.

Zhang Guorong immediately said: "In a few days, he will have his works exhibited, right? I haven't seen any of his oil paintings, so I'm quite curious."

The National Art Exhibition is very unfamiliar to people who are not in the circle of painters. The few people in the car did not know the importance of this art exhibition, but Wang Hao, a mainlander, probably guessed from the name that it was a national art exhibition that should be very authoritative.

"National Art Exhibition? When is the time? I'll go and see it." Wang Hao asked curiously when she came.

Chen Li'an replied: "It's the 24th of this month, and it's in Beijing."

"I happen to be going back to the capital in a few days, and I will definitely go there. I also want to see how disillusioned I am." Wang Hao said with a smile.

Chen Li'an looked into Wang Hao's eyes, and said lightly: "I shouldn't be disillusioned. You don't like me, and you don't even know what kind of person I am. Where did the disillusionment come from?"
