Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 337 336. Sophie Marceau’s Remuneration

In the brightly lit exhibition hall, there are many tourists coming and going. The Paris exhibition has been open for three days, but the popularity has not diminished. On the contrary, the reputation has become better and better as time goes by.

In the past three days, Chen Li'an's exhibition has become very famous. There are many news reports on Chen Li'an's art exhibition in newspapers and magazines.

Chen Li'an's name once again appeared in newspapers large and small in Paris. Many of them were promoted by Ji Fa, but many of them were spontaneously initiated by the media.

But the most unexpected thing is that many tabloids are reporting on Chen Li'an. In the past, such tabloids reported entertainment gossip.

Early that morning, Ji Fa smiled and threw a newspaper to Chen Li'an and said, "You are already in the gossip newspapers."

Chen Li'an took the newspaper, glanced at it, and threw it away. These newspapers were really boring, and they were still trying to make him and Sophie Marceau uninterested.

However, Sophie Marceau is indeed going back to Europe soon. Chen Li'an estimates that when Sophie Marceau gets off the plane in Paris, these tabloids will still follow up and report.

Chen Li'an is in trouble now. Anyway, the matter between him and Sophie Marceau is out in the open. Reporters can report it if they like.

Abroad is not the same as China, so romance is not a big problem. On the contrary, it will make people think that Chen Li'an is really serious. After all, he is an artist.

Chen Li'an will stay in Paris for four more days. I wonder if Sophie Marceau can come back in time. If not, she will have to meet in London.

Chen Li'an has been very busy these two days, not only busy with exhibitions but also dealing with those rich bosses.

Many art collectors are very interested in Chen Li'an's works this time. However, Chen Li'an and Ji Fa are not planning to auction it now. They will wait until the global tour is over to hype it up. That will be the most beneficial time. change.

If they auction it now, firstly, they won't be able to get a high price, and secondly, their plans in Tokyo are not ready yet, so they can't take advantage of the popularity.

Although Chen Li'an is not preparing to auction, it does not mean that he cannot make money. The daily tickets are a lot of income, and Bernard also plans to have a joint cooperation with Chen Li'an.

The partner is a high-end luxury brand owned by him. Now that Chen Li'an is famous, he also wants to ride on the popularity of Chen Li'an as an artist, or try a new model.

Since 1992, the fashion industry has undergone earth-shaking changes. Luxury brands have been acquired and reorganized on a large scale. Celebrities and stars have begun to enter the fashion industry. Models and designers have begun to enter the spotlight. In 1993, even American middle-class housewives all know those luxury brands.

This is the impact of the fashion industry and luxury brands working together to change, and the driving force behind it is Bernard, the leader of the LVMH group in front of Chen Li'an.

In recent years, the mainstream of the fashion industry has been young designers. Even the chief designer of Givenchy, owned by LVMH, is Alexander McQueen, who has only been in the industry for a few years.

There are many young designers like McQueen. They are the new generation and are challenging the dominance of their predecessors. Recklessness, rebellion and decadence are synonymous with them.

The only popular culture in the 21st century is fashion, and these young designers are the cultural pioneers of fashion.

In the quiet cigar room, Bernard looked at Chen Li'an while sipping his cigar and said with a smile: "These young people are very extreme, but they do bring different blood and vitality to the fashion industry, but I want to try a different way. Fashion and art are closely related. You are the most diverse and creative artist I have ever seen. Do you want to give it a try?"

Chen Li'an, a fashion designer, didn't know much about it, but that didn't matter. He had already wanted to do this, so it would be nice to practice with Bernard now.

However, in the 1990s, few artists would participate in the fashion industry. In another ten years, more artists will actively embrace the fashion industry. Now Chen Li'an can be regarded as a pioneer in the art world entering the fashion industry.

Chen Li'an smelled the aroma of cigars on the tip of his nose, thought for a while and agreed to Bernard's invitation.

"Of course, I am also very interested in pop culture." Chen Li'an looked at Bernard and said: "Art and pop culture are closely related, and I also have many ideas that I want to try."

Bernard said with a smile: "Then I'm looking forward to your attempt. I will help you get the tickets for the fashion week."

"Thank you!" Chen Li'an said with a smile.

There are requirements to enter Paris Fashion Week, and you need to be recognized by the association. Even if you are an artist like Chen Li'an who has become a monk halfway and has no achievements, you can't just get in. At the very least, you need someone to clear the relationship.

Fashion also has associations, which is quite strange. There are associations in all walks of life around the world, just to control the voice of the industry. But things like fashion and art are boring if they have associations and rulers.

There is an invisible driving force behind every year's pop culture. You think talented designers are driven by capital. Sometimes fashion is like a joke.

The designer is also dancing in a cage. The only freedom is that he can choose the style of the cage himself.

Chen Li'an doesn't have a cage, and he doesn't expect to make a name for himself in the fashion industry as a designer. He is going to be the boss in the future, so who has nothing to do to play in a cage.

If you want to do it, just watch the show outside the cage!

But Chen Li'an doesn't have time to take care of these things now. There are many things to do on the tour. Paris will end in a few days, and the next stop in London must be prepared in advance.

Life is very busy. Chen Li'an is really busy now. He has to take care of the exhibition in Paris every day, and he has to communicate with Ji Fa every day in London. That is to say, with the experience in Paris, many things can be solved. Got experience.

Bai Qing is also very busy. After staying in Paris for two days, she returned to Venice. The works she and Chen Li'an exhibited in Venice can now be recycled and taken away.

Originally, the works that Bai Qing and Chen Li'an created together were just a few paintings that could be easily taken away, but Chen Li'an's installation art was too big. During this time, the organizing committee of the Venice Biennale arranged for people to tear down the walls, and only then did Chen Li'an's works Can be brought out.

Bai Qing is now in the past to receive Chen Li'an's Inspur No. 3 and bring it to Paris to participate in Christie's spring auction next year.

Now that Chen Li'an is famous, he no longer needs to sell it first and then participate in auctions to hype it up.

As for hype, Chen Li'an and Ji Fa no longer need to spend a lot of energy on it. People who want to collect or use art for other purposes will do it secretly.

This is also one of the benefits of being famous. Otherwise, every work requires managers to spend a lot of energy behind the scenes to promote it, so why would you be famous?

After an artist reaches a certain position, capital will take the initiative to pursue many things, and the artist becomes a production machine. You only need to be responsible for the output, and the capital will do the rest for you.

The trio is now scattered in three places. Chen Li'an is watching an exhibition in Paris, Bai Qing is picking up works in Venice, and Ji Fa is busy planning the next art exhibition in London.

When Chen Li'an held a meeting with the ministry before coming to the London Station exhibition, the ministry specifically emphasized that it attached great importance to the London Station Art Exhibition.

As for the reason, it's very simple. The British stole so many cultural relics from us, and I feel suffocated in my heart.

Chen Li'an's exhibition in London must be successful and large-scale, so that those robbers can see that you have stolen Chinese things, but you cannot steal the culture and spirit!

The profound heritage of Chinese culture is constantly bursting out new culture and art. This is the heritage of a great cultural country! It is not comparable to those robbers who only know how to steal.

This is the attitude that the ministry wants to express, and Chen Li'an also thinks it's very good.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of Paris Station. Bai Qing had not come back yet, but Sophie Marceau came back from Hollywood first.

The news of Sophie Marceau's return to China was not kept secret at all. She was surrounded by reporters as soon as she got off the plane in Paris.

The beautiful Sophie Marceau showed no signs of impatience when faced with reporters' flashbulbs. She didn't show signs of fatigue even after sitting on a plane for several hours. She looked stunning in the camera.

Chen Li'an wore sunglasses and leaned against a pillar not far from the airport pick-up port, looking at her without exposing himself.

It doesn’t matter how you write the gossip, but you can’t give reporters concrete facts.

After Sophie Marceau walked out of the passage and led reporters towards the parking lot, Chen Li'an stood up and went to the parking lot.

Sophie Marceau walked slowly, and Chen Li'an came to the car before her, sitting in the back seat and yawning.

Soon Sophie Marceau came over and handed the luggage to the driver, then quickly opened the door and got in the car.

The cameras in the hands of the reporters following Sophie Marceau were almost smoking. When the car door was opened just now, they only saw one person sitting inside, but they didn't know who it was.

The anxious reporter trotted over to see who was in the car. Although everyone knew that the most likely person was Chen Li'an, what if it wasn't? What if Chen Li'an gets dumped?

Even if there is no chance that it really is Chen Li'an inside, then we can still take a real photo.

It's a pity that the car is covered with privacy film, so you can't see anything from the outside after closing the door.

The reporter could only take pictures of the loneliness, watching helplessly as the driver put away his luggage and drove away.

In the car, Chen Li'an and Sophie Marceau kissed passionately for a long time before they separated. Chen Li'an wiped the lipstick mark on the corner of Sophie Marceau's mouth and said, "Are you satisfied with the effect today?"

"Very satisfied, thank you for your cooperation." Sophie Marceau said with a smile.

Chen Li'an originally didn't plan to come to pick up Sophie Marceau today, but Sophie Marceau specifically requested it, and Chen Li'an came to cooperate with her in the hype.

Sophie Marceau has been developing in Hollywood in the past two years, and her popularity in Paris has dropped. This time, Chen Li'an came and naturally took the opportunity to make some noise.

There is no need for Chen Li'an to show his face anyway, and Chen Li'an is happy to cooperate.

Soon the car drove to Sophie Marceau's apartment. Chen Li'an, wearing sunglasses, a mask and a fisherman's hat, got out of the car and went straight upstairs with Sophie Marceau in his arms.

The reporter standing guard outside was unable to take a photo of Chen Li'an's face. Although it was a pity, such a photo was enough.

Sometimes you can write more exciting news if you can't see your face clearly.

After going upstairs, Chen Li'an and Sophie Marceau immediately took off all disguises and faced each other in the freest and most natural state.

Human beings are born naked. Why do we need to put on so many disguises when getting along with each other? Throw away clothes and everything else!

However, the development of human civilization is restricted. In order to help Sophie Marceau grow better and become more beautiful and richer, Chen Li'an tied her up with a special rope and tied her up again and again. Finally, she was restrained. Go to the hands behind your back and tie a beautiful knot.

Chen Li'an looked at his work and nodded with satisfaction.

"Do you know what this kind of knot is called?" Chen Li'an asked while pulling up Sophie Marceau's hair and putting it on the rope.

Sophie Marceau twisted a little, and before she could answer, she heard Chen Li'an say: "This type of bondage is called horse bondage, and it is inspired by humans' efforts to tame wild horses."

"I'm not a horse." Sophie Marceau couldn't move and could only raise her head and said.

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows and stood up and said, "Who says it's not? Foreign horses are also horses."

Sophie Marceau: "." If you can, whip me! come!

Chen Li'an will naturally fulfill Sophie Marceau's wish and cooperate with your hype without paying any price?

After an unknown amount of time, Sophie Marceau and Chen Li'an cuddled up on the bed, looking at the hook on the ceiling and resting in a daze.

A piece of strong rope hangs under the hook, and the water stains on the floor below the rope sparkle in the light.

In the next two days, except for going to the Musée d'Orsay to see the exhibition in the afternoon, Chen Li'an basically spent time with Sophie Marceau. After a long separation, there was always a lot of knowledge to exchange.

However, there are only two days left for the Paris exhibition, and Chen Li'an has to pack up and go to London again.

Sophie Marceau still had a job in Paris and could not accompany Chen Li'an to London. When Chen Li'an left, she kissed him for a long time and asked with some anxiety: "Do you think it will be successful?"

Chen Li'an thought for a moment and said, "I think so. After all, I have been in such good health so many times, so it makes no sense."

Sophie Marceau smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to having a mixed-race baby."

"Aren't you worried that it will affect your development?" Chen Li'an asked curiously.

Sophie Marceau shook her head, blinked her beautiful blue eyes and said: "I will take a year off next year. I will only have a chance next year."

Since Sophie Masuo wanted to take a year's rest, Chen Li'an didn't say anything. Anyway, now that she has more children, she doesn't have to worry about it. One can raise a bunch of them, and it's not like she can't afford to raise them if she earns more money.

After bidding farewell to Sophie Marceau, Chen Li'an flew directly to London with his team.

London, Chen Li'an is still looking forward to it. I don't know if he has any fans in London. Chen Li'an still remembers the two British girls he met when he first attended the Venice Film Festival.

At that time, they even tricked themselves into filming a gay-themed movie. They really couldn't do anything.

When the plane landed in London, Chen Li'an breathed in the bad air in London and felt that this trip to London might not be so peaceful.
