Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 183 181. If you don’t be Mr. Chen, you won’t be Givenchy.

"Here, Li'an has been working on his work during this time and couldn't pick you up."

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

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

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

Cheng Shufen walked in along the specially reserved path. The afternoon sunlight reflected the spots on the colored glass, and the huge waves formed by the red silk thread seemed to wrap up and swallow her up.

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

Whether it is an oil painting or a sculpture, the impression is slowly felt, but installation art is so direct and shocking, and the impact from the visual to the physical and mental 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 faced with such a shocking scene, she didn't want to take it out.

Such a work of art and such an artist should not be involved in the entertainment industry. Those plans of my own 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 and walked over and said, "Sister Shufen, I'm sorry, I couldn't pick you up."

Cheng Shufen came back to her senses, looked at Chen Li'an with a complex 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 proactively: "Sister Cheng, do you want tea or coffee?"

"Anything is fine." Cheng Shufen replied in a daze. 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. I don't know how many versions of the design draft it has gone through.

Chen Li'an stood nearby, took the hot tea handed over by Bo 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 give you a try in the evening."

Hearing this, Cheng Shufen raised her head and glanced at Chen Li'an, then glanced around the room. There were many oil paintings and some unfinished sculptures in the room. The white walls were stained with a lot of paint, like The starlight that splashes up when inspiration bursts out.

"Your place is not shabby at all." Cheng Shufen thought of the red stream outside and couldn't help but said: "This yard is worth at least 10 million now!"

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

"This is no longer a courtyard house, but a work of art!" Cheng Shufen said with emotion: "We are in a work of art, how can we say it is crude."

Hearing Cheng Shufen's words, Bai Qing raised his eyebrows slightly. It is not artistic at all to measure art with money!

The value of art itself cannot be measured by simple numbers. It is an invisible force and an idea that will remain in the long river of time and cannot be replaced by simple numbers.

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

Chen Li'an glanced at Bo Qing, and after she went out, he said to Cheng Shufen: "It's not finished yet. The weather is getting colder, so we have to finish it as soon as possible. Sister Shufen, don't mind."

Cheng Shufen shook her head, looked at Chen Li'an with her tea cup in hand and said, "I understand. Compared with what you are doing now, what I want to say is not important at all."

"Sister Shufen, why are you so polite all of a sudden?" Chen Li'an was too familiar with his works in the yard every day, and he didn't have the same strong shock as Chen Shufen, so he couldn't understand why she was suddenly like this.

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 your art. I'm really worried that our cooperation will affect the birth of a great artist."

Chen Li'an paused while drinking tea. He felt a little uncomfortable when Cheng Shufen used great to describe himself. He was still far from those two words.

"Sister Shufen, please don't be so excited. Let's talk about your plan first." Chen Li'an said, skipping the previous topic.

Cheng Shufen watched Chen Li'an sigh one last time, took out a document from his bag and handed it to Chen Li'an, and then said with some embarrassment: "I feel that my plan is too tacky."

Chen Li'an took the plan and smiled and said, "I'll take a look first and then talk."

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

A film based on the novel by Japanese writer Akutagawa Ryunosuke, the character is the male lead.

Chen Li'an glanced at it briefly and skipped this part. He turned to the plan at the back to see how Cheng Shufen planned to market himself as an artist.

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

The biggest manifestation in the commercial field of art is design. Everything visible in life is inseparable from design.

Tables, chairs and benches are industrial design, clothes are fashion design, advertising is graphic design, and houses are architectural design.

And design is inseparable from the category of art. The design industry is the most perfect industry that combines art and business.

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

In Cheng Shufen's plan, Chen Li'an can do luxury goods such as clothing design, jewelry, etc., and form a unique brand, just like those top luxury brands in the West.

I have to say that Cheng Shufen's idea is very interesting, but Chen Li'an feels a bit strange when he looks at it. It looks a bit like Teacher Chen. Although his surname is Chen, this Chen is not the other Chen.

No, it’s not Teacher Chen, it’s Givenchy, the love-struck man of the century!

Chen Li'an felt that he and Teacher Chen had better auras.

Cheng Shufen looked at Chen Li'an's expression getting more and more strange, and felt that she was too commercial and tacky. 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 piece of art, and using such tacky things really insulted the word art.

Hearing Cheng Shufen's words, Chen Li'an raised his head and looked at her strangely and said, "I think it's not bad. This is how art should be, in every bit of life."

"I'll just say it, like this." Cheng Shufen was suddenly stunned, looked at Chen Li'an's serious expression and asked, "You said you think it's pretty good?"

Chen Li'an put down the plan and said, "Yes, I think it's good, but it's just not perfect yet. Can I go back and add a few more items?"

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

Before coming, Cheng Shufen prepared a lot of rhetoric and determined her bottom line and attitude. However, after being baptized by Chen Li'an's works, she instantly forgot all those principles.

This is art! Why compromise for the sake of art? !

Cheng Shufen's plan is indeed very good. Although it is too commercial, it is not completely without merit. Chen Li'an still sees a lot of bright spots in this plan.

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

The purpose of cooperating with Cheng Shufen is to make it more convenient to spend other people's money to make his own art. If he only does commercial design, Chen Li'an would not be 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 sense of being a confidant. No, no.

Cheng Shufen thought about it for a long time and couldn't describe the feeling, but she was really moved in her heart.

When I returned to the hotel that night and called Zhang Guorong, I kept praising Chen Li'an for how awesome he was, and his artistic achievements were as high as a dozen floors high.

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

After hanging up the phone with Cheng Shufen, Leslie Cheung called Chen Li'an and asked directly: "What did you do to Shufen!"

Chen Li'an, who was studying a new camera, was confused when he heard Zhang Guorong's question. He didn't do anything to Cheng Shufen. Don't say such strange things, okay?

Zhang Guorong on the other end of the phone snorted and said: "Shufen called me at night and kept praising you. She also asked me to go to the capital when I have time to see your new works."

"Isn't it normal to praise me?" Chen Li'an put down the lens in his hand and looked at the other camera on the table, which was given to him by Wang Zuxian at that time, so he couldn't help asking 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 unworthy of Wang Zuxian while on the phone desk.

Why did you fall in love with this scumbag! Not disappointed at all!

Chen Li'an leaned on the chair, looked at the camera, thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to see her next month, but don't tell her, I want to give her a surprise."

"It's a surprise, I'm afraid it's a shock." Zhang Guorong stabbed angrily, and couldn't help but said: "It would be the biggest surprise if you propose!"

Chen Li'an's mouth twitched, fearing that he was frightened.

Proposal? Impossible in this life!

You will be alone for the rest of your life! When you get old, you go to a nursing home. When you can't walk anymore, you get yourself cremated and spread your ass!

Even if you die, you won’t go to the grave! Let alone entering the grave of love while alive!

After chatting with Zhang Guorong for a few more words, 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. In a few days, he would go to the studio to take pictures of the work.

As time goes by, the artwork in the yard will be wiped away by the torrent of time, so Chen Li'an wants to use photos to freeze it forever.
