Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 65 65. There is no three hundred taels of silver here (please follow up)

"Art managers are the role between artists and businessmen. They are the driving force behind artists. Successful artworks are inseparable from commercial operations." Ji Fa said while holding up his wine glass.

After saying that, she took a sip of the Red Star Erguotou highly recommended by Chen Li'an. The spiciness in her mouth made her frown slightly, but then she felt a warm current flowing through her body.

This wine seems pretty good? Ji Fa likes Erguotou a little bit.

Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa's slightly red face and said with a smile: "I know that works of art are never pure, but I want to know more about the benefits of choosing you."

Ji Fa looked away from the wine glass and looked at Chen Li'an and said seriously: "I have been a manager for four years and have helped many artists' works to become commercially successful. I have a very good network in Europe and can help you." His works go out of China."

"Moreover, I will give you a good share ratio. I have always been generous to my friends."

Chen Li'an rolled up a roast duck and placed it in front of Ji Fa and said, "Can you tell me about some of your works?"

Ji Fa pondered for a moment and said: "Last year I handled a Chinese painter's work "Life and Interest", which was auctioned for 1.2 million pounds!"

After hearing 1.2 million pounds, Chen Li'an paused while rolling the roast duck, and mentally converted how much 1.2 million pounds was in RMB.

Damn it, why are you suddenly tempted by money!

Ji Fa noticed Chen Li'an's heartbeat and continued: "I have a gallery in Europe, and I have very good relations with several major auction houses, and I also have a good relationship with the news media. Choosing me will definitely make your works show their due. There is value.”

Chen Li'an chewed the roast duck in his mouth, thought for a while and asked: "How much can I share?"

"Fifty percent!" Ji Fa said immediately, feeling faintly happy.

When the issue of sharing is discussed, most people are already excited. As long as the sharing ratio is not too low, most artists will agree.

After all, artists are a group of different people, and they can often make decisions quickly as long as they see the right person.

The 50% share ratio is not bad. It is not low for a newcomer. Chen Li'an was quite satisfied. After thinking for a while, he said: "Add another 5% and I can sign a contract with you."

"No problem!" Ji Fa replied immediately, with surprise in his eyes.

Chen Li'an looked at the corners of Ji Fa's raised lips, smiled bitterly and said, "Did I speak too low?"

Ji Fa picked up the wine glass and looked at Chen Li'an and joked: "You'd better not know my bottom line, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night."

Chen Li'an twitched the corner of his mouth, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Ji Fa.

After finishing the meal, Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an a little drunk and said, "Do you know why I want to sign a contract with you? Normally, I would not sign contracts with photographers and performance artists. Managers and curators are different. "

Chen Li'an asked curiously: "Why?"

"I saw your paintings, and that painting "Awakening" is really great. You will definitely be a very good painter in the future."

Chen Li'an was silent for a moment, then looked at Ji Fa and asked, "Do you know Bai Qing?"

Ji Fa held her face and sat up slightly, and said with some helplessness: "I took a fancy to her "Death and Rebirth" and wanted to buy it, but she didn't want to. Later, when I went to find her again, I saw your "Death and Rebirth" Awake"."

Speaking of this, Ji Fa poured himself another glass of wine, drank it in one gulp and said with some emotion: "You and Bo Qing are both very good painters. Your works seem to have helped each other, and you are like soul mates." .”

There was a hint of loneliness in Ji Fa's eyes. She didn't know what she was thinking of, maybe it was her soul mate.

Chen Li'an was silent for a while. He hadn't seen Bo Qing for a long time. She should have moved away.

Chen Li'an didn't have such deep feelings about Ji Fa's so-called soul mate. He just felt that he was more inspired and purer when he was with Bai Qing.

Seeing Ji Fa who was a little drunk, Chen Li'an poured her a glass of water and called a waiter to help him go downstairs and call a taxi.

Ji Fa held the cup with both hands, looked at Chen Li'an, smiled and said, "You are indeed a very gentle person, just like your paintings."

Chen Li'an smiled and said, "This is what others taught me, gentlemanly manners."

"Do you have any other paintings besides "Awakening"?" Ji Fa asked after taking a sip of water to wake up a little.

Chen Li'an leaned back in his chair and said, "Yes, but they are all given away."

Ji Fa pulled up her hair and asked with a smile: "Like giving it to Bai Qing? You are such a romantic and wasteful guy."

Ji Fa, who has more business attributes, feels that Chen Li'an's behavior is too wasteful, but it is very "artistic".

Chen Li'an smiled without explaining, stood up and said to Ji Fa: "The car should be here, let's get off."

"Okay, I will come to you with the contract tomorrow." Ji Fa said, putting down the cup in his hand.

Chen Li'an put on his coat and said, "No problem. By the way, you can take a look at my other unfinished painting."

Jifa's blue eyes lit up and she said, "I can't wait any longer."

"I hope you won't be disappointed."

After Chen Li'an saw Ji Fa off, he walked on the cold streets and headed towards the art museum. The cold breeze calmed down his brain that was heated by alcohol.

Looking back at the yellow taxi that disappeared around the corner, Chen Li'an suddenly felt a little funny how he had "sold" himself so easily.

He didn't even know which country Ji Fa was from, and he hadn't thought about verifying her identity.

However, Chen Li'an has always been very confident in his vision and feels that he will not be wrong about the wrong person. Ji Fa will be a good manager.

After returning to the film festival again, Chen Li'an was immediately surrounded by several people.

"Chen Li'an, right? I hope the film festival will be stopped immediately." A man in a black jacket said rudely.

Chen Li'an thought it was funny, glanced at him lightly, ignored him and continued walking inside.

"Wait a minute!" The man in the jacket grabbed Chen Li'an's arm.

Chen Li'an stopped and looked down at the hand holding him, then raised his head and looked at the man in the jacket and said, "Let go."

Chen Li'an's eyes were cold, and there was a sense of danger. The man in the jacket subconsciously let go of his hand and said in a slower tone: "Mr. Chen, your work has affected our brand image. Please stop the exhibition immediately, otherwise We will take legal action."

Chen Li'an suddenly realized that he was the plaintiff. Bah, he didn't break the law!

Chen Li'an looked at the man in the jacket and said, "Have you seen my work?"

The man in the jacket was stunned for a moment and then shook his head subconsciously. Who can understand these nonsense? If the leader hadn't read the news in the newspaper, he wouldn't have run to such a place.

"Oh, then you'd better go and take a look. If you want to sue me, you are always welcome." After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he turned and left.

I didn’t deliberately smear them in my photos, I just recorded the process of how those old people were deceived. If you don’t understand the stories behind the photos, you won’t be able to tell that they were deceived.

How do you interpret what the newspaper says about you? What does your arrest of Lu Xun mean to me, Zhou Shuren?

If these people were not guilty, how could they come here? There is no three hundred taels of silver here!

Chen Li'an's originally good mood was somewhat depressed by these people, but after seeing Mei Cheng walking towards him with a ponytail, his mood immediately improved a lot.

The sweet girl is more lovable, but the guy in the jacket is the most annoying!
