Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 184 182. Is your work Dawn of Empire? (Fifteen thousand chapters!)

Thick dark clouds piled up in the gloomy sky, and pieces of snowflakes fell from the clouds and fell on the ground.

The first snow of winter fell. Chen Li'an stood in the yard adjusting the angle of the last piece of glass, his black hair covered with snowflakes.

The work was finally completed. Chen Li'an took off his gloves, patted the snowflakes from his hair, looked at Bai Qing who was leaning against the door drinking tea and said, "Give it a name."

"You start your work yourself." Bo Qing said calmly, holding the teacup in both hands.

Chen Li'an sighed slightly. He was a bad namer. It would be a pity if such a good work had a bad name.

After standing in the yard and thinking for a while, Chen Li'an said seriously: "In the Wave Series - Red, I am going to create a group and make a gourd doll to save grandpa."

Bai Qing couldn't help but rolled his eyes, turned around and entered the room holding the cup. What the hell is Calabash Baby! Not in shape all day long.

Looking at Bai Qing's disgusted back, Chen Li'an touched his chin and looked at the red wave in the yard. He felt that the name was quite good. If you put seven colors together, it would be a gourd baby.

After admiring his works in the yard for a while, Chen Li'an went inside and took out his new camera, preparing to turn the Wave Series - Red into images and turn them into postcards to give to visitors.

At the same time, you can also permanently record your works.

However, Chen Li'an gave up after taking more than a dozen photos in the yard. The weather today was not good. Not only was it snowing, but the light was relatively dark. The light spots formed by the tinted glass without the blessing of sunlight were not good-looking at all.

Installation art really needs to be displayed in a specific space at a specific time. Chen Li'an sighed and put away the camera, planning to take pictures again in a few days when the weather is fine.

After admiring it in the yard for a while, Chen Li'an entered the room with great satisfaction. He looked at Bai Qing who was lying on the table reading a book and asked, "The studio is ready, do you want to open it to the public?"

When Bai Qing heard this, he raised his head and said, "Open it, otherwise who will show you what you made?"

"Oh." Chen Li'an sat next to Bai Qing and pondered for a moment before asking, "How much money do you have left?"

Hearing Chen Li'an's question, Bo Qing closed the book and looked at him and asked: "The money has run out again? How much does it cost this time?"

"It's not about borrowing money." Chen Li'an leaned back on the chair, picked up Bai Qing's tea cup and took a sip, then said, "If you still have money, buy all the houses around it."

"Why should I buy so many houses?" After Bai Qing finished speaking, he took the cup from Chen Li'an's hand, poured another cup and put it in front of him and said, "The studio is big enough."

"If the investment appreciates, it can be connected with the studio to create an exhibition hall in the future." Chen Li'an looked at Bo Qing and said seriously: "We can't sell all the works, there must be a place to display them. "

Bai Qing frowned and thought for a while and said: "First of all, they may not sell it, and secondly, I don't have that much money."

"Let's talk first. You can tell me the difference later." Chen Li'an looked like he was not short of money.

Seeing Chen Li'an's expression that money was not an issue, Bai Qing said angrily: "You should return the one million to me first."

Look down on people!

Chen Li'an snorted. Once Liu Luoguo's investment is sold, plus the share of the VCD, it will be easy to buy a few courtyard houses!

These days, money is waiting to depreciate in your hands, so investing it is the right answer. Even if you buy a courtyard house but don't sell it in the future, it is still better than leaving the money in the bank.

Regarding the purchase of the courtyard house, Chen Li'an gave Bai Qing a few more words and left from the studio. Cheng Shufen was still waiting for his reply, and they couldn't wait in the capital forever.

Chen Li'an took a taxi to the hotel where Cheng Shufen was staying, but Cheng Shufen was outside and hadn't come back yet.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Cheng Shufen returned to the hotel. As soon as she saw Chen Li'an, she said, "Li'an, you did a good job in this movie, and the subject matter is also very good."

"Did you go to see the winner?" Chen Li'an did not expect that Cheng Shufen would go to watch a movie.

Cheng Shufen nodded and said: "Since you have the idea of ​​cooperation, I naturally want to understand your situation. Your acting skills are really good."

Chen Li'an smiled and felt that his performance was pretty good. The most important thing was that Huo Jianqi didn't have as much self-consciousness as Cheng Kaige, which gave Chen Li'an a lot of room to play, and the energy he invested was naturally different.

Cheng Shufen checked the time and said to Chen Li'an: "Let's go to the restaurant upstairs to have a meal and chat while eating."

"good."

More than half an hour later, Cheng Shufen, who listened carefully to Chen Li'an in the restaurant, put down the tableware in her hands, looked at him and said seriously: "I probably understand what you said, but if you do this, the cost will increase a lot, and the company may not be able to do anything about it." Pass this plan.”

"The cost of building a public art space is too high, and the cost of every inch of land in Hong Kong will also be very high, and the possibility of profitability cannot be guaranteed." Cheng Shufen has a headache. She likes Chen Li'an's suggestion, which is not so commercial and is also It fits the artist's identity and is much better than her plan.

However, such an approach requires a lot of financial support. The most important thing is that public art spaces have no good profit points. They can only recover the cost by relying on tickets.

Although the company wants to transform, it is also doing it to make money. It is difficult to accept such a project if it does not make money.

Chen Li'an saw Cheng Shufen's dilemma, put down the steak in his hand, and said seriously: "Sister Shufen, open your mind, public art space is my need, but it does not mean that it cannot be combined with your needs."

"Combined? What do you mean?" Cheng Shufen frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Are you planning to commercialize the art space? No, you are turning art into a commodity?"

Seeing that Cheng Shufen understood, Chen Li'an smiled and said: "Yes, art can also be produced, and art space can also bring more added value to products."

Cheng Shufen immediately understood Chen Li'an's idea and felt that this seemed to be profitable, but what kind of artwork would be popular among consumers after mass production?

“So how do you plan to turn art into merchandise?”

Chen Li'an took a sip of wine and said: "There are many, including picture albums, postcards, art ornaments, and even selling clothes and bags. You can do whatever you want. This can be developed slowly, which is equivalent to the peripheral development of artworks."

Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Cheng Shufen understood, but asked hesitantly: "But wouldn't this be too commercial? Doing business in an art space will greatly affect the value and reputation of the artwork itself."

Chen Li'an glanced at Cheng Shufen strangely and said, "Wouldn't it be better if it were less expensive? Mass-produced things are not valuable, but when the quantity is two or three digits, its value will naturally increase. People who are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy things naturally approve of it, so how can it affect the reputation?"

Cheng Shufen: "." Isn't it too sinister to pay tens of thousands for something? You can just buy a work of art!

Anything that can be mass-produced is worthless, and the only thing is the most precious.

Commercial design is for mass production, breaking the uniqueness of artworks and turning artworks into commodities.

But the value of the commodity itself also depends on various aspects, and scarcity is also very important.

Of course, the premise is that Chen Li'an himself is recognized and his art is recognized. At the same time, he also needs a high reputation.

Being well-known in the art circle is not enough. You need to be well-known among the public.

However, with Chen Li'an's appearance and acting skills, it is not that difficult to become famous. With the blessing of his dual identity as an actor and artist, Chen Li'an is confident in his plan.

Why not spend other people's money to complete your own works of art and make money along the way?

It is difficult for installation art and performance art to be profitable in themselves, but through such operations, such restrictions can be completely broken.

Cheng Shufen also understood what Chen Li'an meant, and after discussing with him for a long time, they decided on a rough plan.

After the matter came to an end, Cheng Shufen felt much more relaxed. She smiled and said to Chen Li'an: "In this case, I will immediately go back and make a new plan and submit it to the company. I hope this plan can be passed."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news." Chen Li'an responded with a smile, then looked at Cheng Shufen and said, "When will Sister Shufen return to Xiangjiang?"

Cheng Shufen said with some urgency: "I'll go back tomorrow. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the company, and I have to come up with a new plan quickly."

"Okay, I will probably go to Xiangjiang next month, and I will talk to you in detail then."

"Then we'll see you in Xiangjiang next month."

After coming out of the hotel, Chen Li'an stood at the door, feeling the cold winter wind, watching the dark clouds in the sky slowly disperse, and a ray of sunshine trying to break through the clouds to shine on the earth.

It’s as if hope and the future are right in front of you.

Chen Li'an couldn't help but take out the cigarette case from his pocket. He just took out one and wanted to light it, but gave up after hesitating.

If you can quit smoking, you'd better quit. No matter how good your health is, you still need to take good care of it.

In a cinema in Beijing, Huo Jianqi, Ning Jing and others were running a road show. After the movie, they all went on stage to interact with the audience.

However, the audience didn't see the male protagonist after watching it for a long time, and they couldn't help but ask questions.

A girl in her twenties with wavy permed hair stood up and shouted to the stage: "Why isn't the hero here?"

The girl's words immediately made everyone boo, and they shouted: "We want to see the male protagonist!"

Most of the booers were spectators, and a few really wanted to see Chen Li'an. Only the little girls wanted to see Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an in the movie is simply a walking hormone, and he also plays a role in wet temptation, so he shouldn't be too lethal to the little girls.

With good acting skills, good looks, and eight-pack abs, it's hard not to love her.

Huo Jianqi, who was on the stage, listened to everyone's booing, and quickly took the microphone and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Li'an is busy creating recently and can't participate in the road show. He asked me to say sorry to everyone."

The big wave who just spoke in the theater immediately shouted: "I haven't seen him before when he came to our school to promote, and the road show hasn't come yet. How insincere!"

The girl is wondering if an actor doesn't want to be famous? Can you become famous if you make a movie and don’t participate in publicity?

It can't be just to show off as a big name, then there will be no way to love.

Seeing the girl's reluctance, Huo Jianqi smiled bitterly in his heart. Chen Li'an, a lazy man, was just causing trouble for himself!

I didn’t come to any of the road shows. I attended a premiere right after the filming of the movie. The key is that I fell asleep during the premiere!

Huo Jianqi explained helplessly: "Li'an is an artist and is at a critical moment in his creation. He really can't come to the road show."

"artist?"

"Isn't he an actor?"

“Are actors all artists now?”

The audience in the audience chatted with each other. Almost no one knew that Chen Li'an was an artist. Ordinary viewers would pay attention to art news and magazines.

Listening to various questioning voices, Ning Jing, who was sitting next to him, took the initiative to pick up the microphone and shouted: "You may not know Chen Li'an. He is not only an actor but also a painter."

"Last year he held a photography exhibition at the National Art Museum of China, and this year he held an art exhibition in Paris. He also won the Golden Lion Award at the Art Exhibition in Venice. Friends who usually read newspapers should have seen his news."

After Ning Jing finished speaking, the auditorium was silent for a few seconds. Then some viewers recalled from their memories that they had seen such a news, and they couldn't help but said: "You are really an artist! I painted in Tiananmen Square before. Isn’t it him who was painted!”

"Painting in Tiananmen? I seem to remember it."

"Isn't the Golden Lion Award for movies? There is also the Golden Lion Award for art exhibitions?"

The audience talked a lot. The girl with big waves who asked the first question was a little surprised that the actor she liked was actually an artist.

I like it even more!

So he immediately asked loudly: "Then when will he participate in the road show? Where will you go to the next show? I will buy tickets!"

Neither Huo Jianqi nor Ning Jing could answer this question. Chen Li'an would definitely not be of that temper, but telling the audience directly was afraid of affecting the film's publicity.

The two looked at each other with numbness, and Jin Qiaoqiao, who had been silent next to her, whispered: "Director, call Chen Li'an now and tell him that there are fans who want to see him and see if he can come. "

Huo Jianqi's eyes lit up, it's moral kidnapping. No, it's fan kidnapping. You can try it!

So Huo Jianqi immediately took the microphone and said, "Everyone, be quiet. I will call Li'an and ask him now."

The audience in the audience immediately looked forward to it. They all wanted to watch the fun, but unfortunately there were no melon seeds, otherwise they would have been waiting with their legs crossed.

Huo Jianqi quickly dialed the number. Chen Li'an, who was working on sculptures in the studio, heard the phone ring. He wiped his hands casually and answered the call.

"Hey, Lao Huo, why did you remember to call me? The box office is over 10 million, do you want to send me a red envelope?"

Huo Jianqi's phone was on speakerphone and rang directly in the theater through the microphone. The audience couldn't help laughing when they heard Chen Li'an's voice.

Huo Jianqi smiled awkwardly, and then quickly asked on the phone: "It's not about the box office, I want to ask you, are you finished now? Aren't you still creating?"

Chen Li'an held a carving knife in one hand and gently scraped the mud on the sculpture. He was a little confused as to why so many people were laughing on the other end of the phone, but he replied nonchalantly: "It's finished and we're preparing to exhibit it in two days." .”

When she heard that the exhibition was going to be held, the girl quickly shouted at first: "Where will the exhibition be held and when? We want to go see it too!"

Chen Li'an vaguely heard the voice on the other end of the phone and asked a little strangely: "Lao Huo, where are you? Why is it so noisy?"

"It's a road show." Huo Jianqi quickly explained: "You didn't come to the road show, and your fans are not happy. I want to ask you if you will participate in the next road show."

fan?

Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment. Does he have fans now? Is the movie Winner so popular?

After thinking for a while, Chen Li'an said: "I only have time tomorrow, and I have to start the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, you can come tomorrow. I'll tell you the time and place later." Huo Jianqi laughed immediately, then looked at the big wave girl in the audience who was eager to stand up, and quickly asked: "You Where is the exhibition? We also want to see it."

"Are you still interested in this?" Chen Li'an smiled and said, "In my studio, in the west lane of Huguo Temple, you can see the sign when you come in."

After receiving the answer, many viewers were wondering whether they should go see it the day after tomorrow. Even if they don't understand art, they can still see celebrities.

Chen Li'an should be considered a star, anyway, you won't suffer any loss if you go and see it!

Especially the girl with big waves, I immediately decided to go see it and chase stars by the way!

In the theater, Huo Jianqi and Chen Li'an chatted for a few more words, then hung up the phone and continued to interact and promote the movie with the audience, calling on them to recommend more relatives and friends to watch the movie together.

Chen Li'an didn't take this matter to heart. He would go on a road show tomorrow if he had time to give Lao Huo some face and experience what it's like to be a star.

Bai Qing, who was making sculptures with Chen Li'an nearby, heard the call just now. He put down the carving knife in his hand and looked at Chen Li'an and said, "When Ji Fa comes tomorrow, won't you pick him up?"

"Go ahead and treat her to dinner later." Chen Li'an said casually, then looked at the sculpture as tall as himself in front of him and touched his chin and said, "I always feel that this proportion is a bit uncoordinated."

Bai Qing looked at the grease on Chen Li'an's chin and wanted to laugh a little, like a little cat.

However, the sculpture did look a bit uncoordinated. Bo Qing walked around the sculpture and said, "The movements are not standard. You should see how real athletes compete and observe their movements carefully."

The sculpture Chen Li'an is currently creating is of a disabled weightlifter, but instead of lifting a barbell, he lifts two huge words.

equality!

These two words are the most difficult, even for ordinary people, let alone people with disabilities.

Some implicit discrimination is difficult to eradicate, and disabled people will be subject to implicit discrimination in their employment, studies, marriage, and life.

Everyone talks about love, equality and respect, but they have all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, which are difficult to get rid of.

It was only while filming the movie Winner that Chen Li'an realized so much and came up with the idea of ​​creating a set of sculptures about disabled athletes.

I hope to infect more people through the indomitable spirit of disabled athletes.

Chen Li'an knows that there is not much he can do. A movie and a set of works of art may not eliminate society's discrimination against people with disabilities, but he has done his part after all.

It is now the end of 1995, and there is not long time before next year's Paralympic Games. Chen Li'an wants to complete all his works before the Paralympic Games.

Now that there was something fundamentally wrong with the sculpture, he could only stop temporarily even if he was anxious.

At this time, Bai Qing also put down the carving knife in his hand and said to Chen Li'an: "Sculpture works, especially realistic figures, must be precise. You also want to use surrealism to combine realism and abstraction. Abstraction is not enough, and realism is not enough."

The corner of Chen Li'an's mouth twitched. He was criticized so much that his work was a bit nondescript. He was too anxious to create it.

Why do you have to compete before the Paralympic Games? You should calm down and create slowly.

Chen Li'an took a deep breath, looked at the sculpture that had been formed in front of him, and said without any regret: "Then let's tear it down and start over. I need to think about it these two days."

"Well, don't be impatient."

Impatience is the most taboo in artistic creation, so Chen Li'an simply took a rest. After washing his hands, he looked at Bo Qing and said, "Going out for a walk?"

Bai Qing shook his head and said reluctantly: "It's too cold outside, I don't want to go out."

Although it was a sunny day, the temperature was still very low. The dry cold in the capital was like a knife when the wind blew. Bai Qing, a southerner, was still not used to going out in winter.

Bai Qing didn't want to go out, so Chen Li'an went out by himself, just in time to see Chen Meiren and see how Liu Luoguo's movie was going.

After hailing a taxi at the entrance of the alley, Chen Li'an thought about the Audi A6 he had only ridden in a few times. He didn't know how Mr. Zhou drove it. It had been more than two months since he went out to shoot a movie, and it had not been completed yet.

I'd better buy another car later, and I'd have to find an assistant for myself. I'm used to taking taxis, but Chen Li'an doesn't want to drive by himself anymore.

When he arrived at Chen Meiren's house, Chen Li'an entered the yard familiar with the familiarity and saw Chen Meiren in the bedroom, who was sitting on the bed and talking on the phone.

The heating in the bedroom is very strong, and there is a wet towel placed on the radiator, which evaporates a touch of water vapor, making the air in the bedroom less dry.

Seeing Chen Li'an come in, Chen Meiren put her finger up to her mouth and made a gesture, then gently patted the bedside to signal Chen Li'an to come over and sit down.

Chen Li'an walked over and sat down to listen to Chen Meiren's phone call.

"Is it confirmed by CCTV?" Chen Meiren asked excitedly into the phone.

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows and listened carefully. He only heard a voice on the other end of the phone confirming Meiren's answer and saying that he had won the prime time slot for the New Year's Eve drama.

It's a prime time for a new year's drama, which is really awesome. CCTV's new year's dramas are almost all hit classics, but Prime Minister Liu Luoguo is indeed worthy of it.

It is the first historical drama in China that combines various unofficial histories, official histories, folk stories and stand-up comedy. It is a very classic drama. The scene that left the deepest impression on Chen Li'an was the episode in which "Ming" was not mentioned. He Shen said Liao Ming was arrested and beaten. During the morning court, no one dared to speak.

It's funny to think about it. He Shen is obviously a handsome man, but Wang Gang was asked to play the role. A short and fat actor made He Shen come alive. Many viewers will think of Wang Gang when they mention He Shen.

I wonder if He Shen, who is in the coffin board, will jump out of anger knowing that his image has been tampered with to look like a short, fat and wretched person.

However, it was precisely this kind of drama that made this drama a classic, breaking the 1996 ratings record, and laying a solid audience foundation for the subsequent dramas Ji Xiaolan and Kangxi's Secret Interview in Private Clothes.

The drama about Qianlong in the first two years was successful, and Liu Luoguo was successful next year. Maybe it was also because of so many whipping dramas later on. The deeper reason was that Chen Li'an didn't dare to think about it, for fear of being caught and having pigtails.

After a while, Chen Meiren finished the call, excitedly grabbed Chen Li'an's arm and said, "You heard it, CCTV's new year drama!"

Chen Li'an looked at the excited Beauty Chen and said with a smile: "I heard it. With the first round broadcast on CCTV, the second round will be easy to sell. You will become a little rich woman soon."

Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Chen Meiren immediately laughed, hugged Chen Li'an's neck and said affectionately: "I am a little rich woman, then you are a rich man. If you hadn't let me invest, I might have missed this show."

"So, listen to me in the future, and I will make sure that you become a rich woman from a young age!" Chen Li'an said with a smile, putting his arms around Chen Meiren's waist.

Beauty Chen bit her lip, looked into Chen Li'an's eyes and said, "I want to become a rich woman now. You have to give me several hundred million tonight!"

After tonight, in a few months, I might be able to transform from a wealthy woman to a pregnant woman! Then give birth to a big fat boy!

Chen Li'an looked at Mei Chen's tender eyes, hugged her gradually softening waist, chuckled and said, "You are so anxious."

Seeing Chen Li'an's teasing expression, Chen Meiren couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and then whispered in his ear: "I, the producer, used the crew's funds to enrich my own pockets and ordered several costumes."

After saying that, Chen Meiren put her arms around Chen Li'an's neck and looked at him quietly. It's your turn to be anxious now!

Humph, man, I still can’t handle you!

Chen Li'an couldn't help but tighten his arms around Mei Chen's waist, and asked curiously: "What costume did you order?"

Looking at Chen Li'an's curious and expectant eyes, Chen Meiren clasped her fingers and tilted her head and said, "There are clothes worn by the queen, clothes worn by the concubine, and the palace."

"Okay, the rest is not important, I want to see the queen's clothes!"

"Your Majesty, your dragon robe is ready. Do you want to take a shower and change clothes now?"

"Yes! Give me a bath and change my clothes!"

Naturally, they took off and changed their clothes. Chen Li'an and Chen Meiren changed into several sets in one night.

In the end, Chen Li'an couldn't help but sigh, Beauty Chen is really greedy. How many clothes have she customized with the crew's funds?

In the middle of the night, the two of them were lying on the bed tenderly. Chen Meiren was pillowing on Chen Li'an's chest. She raised her head and asked curiously: "Why haven't you gone to see Gong Li during this time?"

Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment, then patted Mei Chen on the shoulder and said, "Why do you ask this so well?"

"I'm just curious." Chen Meiren looked at Chen Li'an's expression and wondered if something went wrong between him and Gong Li.

Chen Li'an said without changing his expression: "I've been too busy lately. By the way, how did you contact Qiong Yao and ask her to help set up a line?"

Seeing Chen Li'an change the subject, Chen Meiren did not continue to ask about Gong Li. A smart woman would never ask questions, so she smiled and said: "She has promised to help. I will go to Wanwan after the Chinese New Year." Discuss with CTV in detail.”

Chen Li'an thought for a moment and said, "Don't go so early. Wait until the CCTV broadcast is halfway through before going. It's best to take Zhang Guojun with you."

"I know, I'm not stupid." Chen Meiren scratched her little hands under the quilt, then looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Won't you go with me?"

Chen Li'an coughed unnaturally, looked at Beauty Chen and said, "If I have time next year, I will go with you. Can you let go now?"

"oh……"

"Oh your size!"

Early the next morning, Chen Meiren got up early, and Chen Li'an opened his eyes in a daze.

"Where are you going so early in the morning?" Chen Li'an asked sleepily.

"I'm going to make money. You can sleep at home and wait for me to come back." Chen Meiren kissed Chen Li'an on the face, and then explained: "Today I have appointments with people from Dragon TV and Guangdong TV."

Chen Li'an sat up and looked at Beauty Chen who ran to change clothes. After admiring it for a while, he also got up. He also had tasks to do today.

"Are you busy today? Will you come again tonight?" Chen Meiren asked while putting on makeup.

Chen Li'an sniffed his nose, smelling the perfume that Beauty Chen had just sprayed, and felt a little tired. He rubbed his nose and said, "I promised Lao Huo to attend the road show today, and I won't come over tonight."

Chen Meiren was a little disappointed, but thinking that after so many times yesterday, it should be almost done, she said: "Okay, then wait until I finish putting on makeup and send you there."

Chen Meiren has always been a little confused about why Chen Li'an didn't drive the car after he bought it. On the way to send Chen Li'an to the road show, she couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you drive your car after you bought it?"

"I don't want to open, I'm too tired." Chen Li'an only told half of the reason, and then said to Chen Meiren: "There are only a few people in the company now, please arrange an assistant for me."

Chen Meiren couldn't help but glance at Chen Li'an. It was true that he didn't want to drive the car. It was hard to say who would drive the car away.

However, beauty Chen is still concerned about having an assistant. Isn't having an assistant next to Chen Li'an equivalent to having an extra spy?

I'll find an obedient young man to be Chen Li'an's assistant later!

Chen Li'an always felt that it was a bit unusually cold today, and his back felt cold. After getting off the car, he felt better. Looking at the Daguanlou Cinema in front of him, he felt a sense of the weight of history.

This place was later designated as the birthplace of domestic movies, and the first domestic movie Dingjunshan was screened here.

A cinema with great historical significance, it was rated as a first-class cinema two years ago.

As soon as Chen Li'an walked into the cinema, he saw a movie poster of Winner posted in the ticket hall. On the poster was a picture of himself and Ning Jing hugging each other, with a huge stadium in the background, which looked quite beautiful.

"Chen Li'an! You are Chen Li'an!"

Just as Chen Li'an was admiring the poster, someone in the cinema recognized him and ran to Chen Li'an in surprise.

Chen Li'an looked at the girl in front of him who recognized him, smiled and said, "Your voice sounds familiar. Have we met before?"

"Haha, I was in the cinema yesterday when you were on the phone with Director Huo, and I came here to sit with you today!" Girl Dalang was very excited. Looking at Chen Li'an's face, she couldn't help but say, "You are even more beautiful than in the movie!"

Such a direct compliment made Chen Li'an a little embarrassed, mainly because the girl's eyes were a bit aggressive.

"Can I take a photo with you?" The big-wavy girl took out a camera from her bag.

Chen Li'an nodded. This was his first fan. Of course, there was no problem in taking a photo.

The big wave girl immediately grabbed a passerby who was about to buy a ticket and asked him to help take a photo. Then she stood next to Chen Li'an and took his arm.

Chen Li'an glanced down, pursed his lips and forced a smile into the camera.

click

"alright."

The passerby wanted to return the camera to the big wave girl, but he heard her say: "Please take another picture!"

Chen Li'an, who had just removed his fake smile, immediately raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the camera cooperatively. After taking two more pictures, he breathed a sigh of relief. A warm and familiar girl is always a bit overwhelming.

"Thank you." Girl Dabo took the camera that the passer-by had exchanged and said happily: "It's not in vain that I came here early in the morning to watch over you!"

Why does he feel like a fanatic? Chen Li'an looked at the big wave girl and took a step back slightly, coughed and said: "What about that? I'll go in first. Thank you for coming to support the movie Winner."

"Oh, sign for me first before leaving." The girl said and took out two rolled-up posters from her schoolbag.

Chen Li'an was really flattered now. There was even a poster on it, so he was a big fan! Huo Jianqi and Chen Li'an said that the crew did not have money to promote the film, and they did not prepare many posters for the release, and they were all for cinemas. It was not easy to get a poster.

What's more, there is also a poster for "Singing at Midnight". "Singing at Midnight" has not been released in mainland China. It is really difficult to get a poster.

After watching one of his movies, he liked it so much that Chen Li'an was embarrassed to leave. After signing her autograph, he chatted with her for a long time.

It wasn't until Chen Li'an's phone rang that the two of them stopped chatting. When Chen Li'an saw that the number was from Huo Jian, he said to the girl, "I'm sorry, the director called me. Let's chat next time we have a chance."

The girl showed her white teeth and smiled and said, "See you in the screening room!"

Chen Li'an nodded and waved goodbye, picked up the phone and walked towards the interior of the cinema.

When he walked to the door of the lounge, Chen Li'an remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to ask her name. She was a pretty girl. She seemed to be a college student, and she was quite rich.

Entering the lounge, Chen Li'an met the crew. As soon as Huo Jianqi saw him, he couldn't help complaining: "Don't you dare to come a little later, the movie will start soon."

"Aren't you late? I just met a fan outside and chatted for a few words." Chen Li'an hugged Huo Jianqi's shoulders and said, "Lao Huo, you can do it. Now the box office is more than three million. .”

Speaking of the box office, Huo Jianqi immediately laughed. He did not expect that it would have a box office of more than 3 million, and the audience rated the movie very highly. This is a standard combination of fame and fortune!

However, Huo Jianqi knew that Chen Li'an and Ning Jing had a lot of credit for this, so he patted Chen Li'an on the shoulder and said, "Thanks to you telling me that you wanted to change the script, otherwise it wouldn't be so popular."

The temperature in the lounge was very high. Chen Li'an tugged on the collar of his coat and said with a smile: "You and I are welcome. I didn't write the script. Go home and thank your wife."

Huo Jianqi smiled and was obviously proud of Su Xiaowei. His wife was a great person!

"Okay, you two, stop complimenting each other. The movie is about to start. Come over quickly." Ning Jing, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but interrupt. Then she walked to Chen Li'an and said, "Let's go, our big star."

"Hey, who dares to say that he is a big star in front of you? We are just fans." Chen Li'an joked with a smile, and then followed them to the movie theater.

Jin Qiaoqiao and Wang Qianyuan, who were walking behind the crowd, looked at each other and saw loneliness in each other's eyes. They are also actors in this movie. Ning Jing and Chen Li'an stole the show. One of them is the male lead and the other female lead. Just like the splash of the world diving champion, there was no wave at all.

Soon the group arrived at the theater and went on stage to chat with the audience before the movie started. Chen Li'an also saw his number one fan, Big Wave Girl, in the middle and waved to her.

Many people in the audience immediately waved to Chen Li'an, thinking that he was greeting all the audience.

Only the girl with big waves showed her beautiful teeth and smiled happily, knowing that Chen Li'an was greeting her.

Chen Li'an glanced at the girl and thought about asking her her name after the road show was over. The first movie fan was worth remembering!

In fact, this is not Chen Li'an's first fan. When "Midnight Song" was released in Hong Kong two months ago, Chen Li'an already had fans, but the number was sparse and they had not yet come into contact with Chen Li'an.

But Chen Li'an doesn't know it now, so he naturally regards the wave girl as his first fan.

After interacting with the audience on stage for a while, the group came off the stage and sat in the auditorium waiting for the movie to start.

Huo Jianqi sat next to him and whispered to Chen Li'an: "You have fans now. You have to work hard in the future and don't be lazy all the time."

"How can anyone care about being a star?" Ning Jing deliberately teased from the side, then looked back at the wavy girl yesterday who particularly impressed her, and couldn't help but said to Chen Li'an: "But now, are you really Now that you have fans, you still have to be careful when you become famous.”

Speaking of which, the winner seems to be Chen Li'an's first appearance as an actor in front of mainland audiences, which means that Chen Li'an has officially entered the entertainment industry.

In the future, Chen Li'an's Baidu Encyclopedia may regard the movie Winner as a sign that he has entered the film and television industry and is well-known and famous.

This is when he really came to the entertainment industry. Chen Lixin has a lot to do with it. The entertainment industry is really not just an entry into the entertainment industry after acting in a few movies. If you don't have fans and you are not well known, you are not an entry into the entertainment industry.

From now on, he will be tumbling in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry. Although Chen Li'an is not excited, he is still looking forward to it.

This time, Chen Li'an did not sleep with his eyes closed like he did on the day of the premiere. Instead, he watched the movie seriously, from the perspective of an audience and a film critic.

Halfway through the movie, Chen Li'an couldn't help but frown as he watched the performance on the screen in which he carried a gas tank upstairs. He would rather have his prosthetic legs worn out than confess his disability to Ning Jing through gritted teeth. He frowned.

This part was not performed well. Although it looked like it was painful to force it out, it was actually performed wrong.

Since he was unwilling to confess and was pretending to be calm in front of the girl he loved, he shouldn't have shown his pain so obviously at that time. He should have restrained his emotions and not expressed them through his body and expression.

Chen Li'an couldn't help but sigh. He still made a mistake. Why didn't he notice it at the time?

In the dark theater, Chen Li'an's sigh caught Ning Jing's attention. She turned her head and asked softly: "Why are you sighing? Do you think the movie was not well shot?"

Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "No, I made a mistake in my performance just now. I shouldn't have externalized my inner emotions like that."

Ning Jing turned her head and glanced at the screen. After a little thought, she understood what Chen Li'an meant. She thought with some confusion, yes, this part was wrongly acted, why didn't she notice it at first?

It was normal for Chen Li'an to be a fan of the authorities and didn't notice it. He didn't feel that his emotions were wrong when he was acting opposite him. Director Huo Jianqi didn't notice it.

Ning Jing thought for a moment, then understood something, and whispered to Chen Li'an: "You are too confident. Your confidence prevented us from examining you, so this flaw occurred."

Chen Li'an thought for a while and realized that he was really too confident. Huo Jianqi was a new director and already had little experience, and he performed very well at the time. Naturally, he would not shoot a scene seventeen or eight times like Cheng Kaige. I was a little arrogant at the time, so I didn’t notice that there was something wrong with my performance.

I have been in a lot of situations recently. Chen Li'an thought about it, and he had problems with sculptures and problems with performances, and he felt a little drifting off.

From now on, I still have to be more restrained and not be so wasteful.

It's okay to be casual in life, but you can't be casual when acting, and you can't be casual when doing art, otherwise you will only harm yourself!

Chen Li'an warned himself in his mind, and then continued to watch the movie seriously, wanting to see how many areas of his performance were unsatisfactory.

The more than an hour-long movie ended quickly, and Chen Li'an also watched it carefully. Fortunately, there was only one point where his performance failed.

The lights in the theater came on and applause rang out. The audience was quite satisfied with the movie. It was passionate and inspiring, had beautiful love, and had great practical significance. The acting and filming were up to standard. It was a good movie. .

Listening to the applause in the theater, Chen Li'an always felt a little guilty, and the smile on his face was a little unnatural.

Not to mention how well Huo Jianqi's filming was and whether it was perfect, but as an actor Chen Li'an felt that he did not do what an actor should do.

If this was a drama performance in a previous life, and my mistakes in the movie were placed on the stage, it would be a stage accident!

The audience will curse and demand a refund! The director and team leader will criticize themselves!

Chen Li'an, who was not in a very beautiful mood, was not very active in the following interactive sessions. He only said a few words when the audience took the initiative to ask him questions.

The crew were familiar with Chen Li'an, and they only thought he acted like this because he didn't want to participate in the road show. The audience was not familiar with Chen Li'an either. They only knew that he was an artist through word of mouth, and thought it was very normal for an artist to behave this way.

Ning Jing, the only one who knew about it, watched Chen Li'an several times, understanding but not understanding his mood. The movie was still very successful, and the performance was recognized by the audience. It was just an inconspicuous mistake. Is it so serious?

Chen Li'an is not being serious, but he feels sorry for the audience's tolerance. Isn't it worthy of criticism if food appears in a movie? Can you relax your requirements on yourself?

This isn't right, it's so fucking wrong! Some things should be more true!

How did this bad movie come about? It’s just a little bit of relaxation!

After the interactive session was over, Chen Li'an forgot to ask the name of the number one fan, and went directly to Huo Jianqi and said: "Lao Huo, when I just watched the movie, I realized that there was something wrong with my acting. I feel sorry for you. .”

Huo Jianqi was stunned for a moment, unable to realize what Chen Li'an meant. Wasn't his performance perfect? He also felt that he was sorry for Chen Li'an's performance.

"No, are you trying to contradict me on purpose?" Huo Jianqi looked at Chen Li'an in surprise, suspecting that he was criticizing his poor shooting.

Chen Li'an explained helplessly, and then said to Huo Jianqi: "I didn't perform well this time. Next time you ask me to act, I guarantee to give you a perfect performance."

Huo Jianqi: "." Are the requirements so high? Why do I feel like you are still clicking on me? Want me to make the next one better? You put me under a lot of pressure, and I don’t even want to look for you in my next movie!

In the empty theater, only the crew members had not left. Ning Jing was sitting in the audience and clearly heard the conversation between Chen Li'an and Huo Jianqi, and she didn't quite understand Chen Li'an's thoughts.

But this does not prevent her from thinking that Chen Li'an is a good actor, a good actor with pursuits. Thinking of the Red River Valley script that was previously submitted to the factory, Ning Jing suddenly wanted to work with Chen Li'an again and put in 100% effort to act with him. !

I called him in the afternoon to ask about the specific situation. The factory should show some respect to itself.

There were other people who heard the conversation between Chen Li'an and Huo Jianqi. Everyone had different feelings after hearing it. Some felt that Chen Li'an was too pretentious, while others felt that Chen Li'an was strict with himself and worth learning.

Jin Qiaoqiao felt that Chen Li'an was a bit pretentious. Although she felt sorry for her classmates' feelings and his handsome face, that's what she thought. It was just a small mistake. As for being serious?

Wang Qianyuan thinks that Chen Li'an is worth learning. When acting, you have to be serious, otherwise how can you be a good actor!

Driven by Chen Li'an's inexplicable emotions, the afternoon road show became a bit heavy. When watching the movie, the actors subconsciously looked for where they did not perform well in the movie.

Huo Jianqi was thinking about what part of his shooting was not good and how he should correct it.

A good road show turned into a self-reflection meeting under the influence of Chen Li'an.

However, the result is still good. At least after the road show in the afternoon, Huo Jianqi felt that he had seen a lot of immature shooting techniques and his own shortcomings.

After the all-day road show, the group was preparing to go back to their homes. Ning Jing took the initiative to stop Chen Li'an who was about to leave.

At the entrance of the cinema, the flashing light sign emitted a red light. The two of them stepped on the red light on the stairs and walked down step by step. Ning Jing brushed the hair next to her ears and said with a smile: "There is a reply about the Red River Valley incident. .”

Hearing Ning Jing's words, Chen Li'an suddenly became interested. He turned to look at her side face and asked, "What did the factory say? Investment?"

"Invest, but the money is not much. I made a phone call with Feng Xiaoning in the afternoon. The funds provided by the factory are a bit insufficient." Ning Jing hesitated and said, "How about we invest some money together? There is still more than 600,000 yuan left. This movie shouldn’t lose money.”

Chen Li'an thought for a moment and asked, "What specifically did Feng Xiaoning say?"

Ning Jing recalled Feng Xiaoning's words, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "There is an avalanche scene and a war scene in the script, which require a lot of funds. If the funds are insufficient, these two scenes will be cut."

"Then let's go with the avalanche. I blew up the glacier for the sake of the movie. Isn't that a sin?" Chen Li'an took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it twice before saying: "It's not like that plot cannot be changed. , removing this footage can save a lot of money, and if you don’t want to change it, you can still shoot it through other means.”

Ning Jing: "." How serious are you? Why do you have two faces when you pay for it? !

Seeing Chen Li'an chewing gum, Ning Jing frowned and said with some displeasure: "The effect of the photo will not be good. How can you change it casually?"

"Why can't we change it? Do you think it's right to destroy the natural environment?" Chen Li'an said seriously: "There are only so many glaciers in the world, and how many are there in China? Make a movie and blow it up just to pursue the scene? Being serious is not true in a place like this. of."

Speaking of this, Chen Li'an thought of another movie, Dog King, and said to Ning Jing: "Have you seen Dog King? That director really blew up the army's dog king to pursue him. Do you think this is more realistic?"

Ning Jing fell silent, thought for a while and said, "I'll go back and think about it, and I'll talk to you later!"

Looking at Ning Jing's back, Chen Li'an quickly shouted: "If it doesn't work out, I can invest more money. There is really no need to blow up the glacier. Please talk to Feng Xiaoning!"

"Got it!" Ning Jing shouted without looking back, but her mood improved a lot. At least Chen Li'an wasn't being serious because he had to pay.

Maybe he was right?

Chen Li'an is really not a virgin. He is worried about damaging the environment. He just feels that it is not worth it to blow up the wonders of nature just for a movie. They are nature's natural works of art. How can they be blown up for a movie? .

Isn’t this a waste of natural resources?

Artists cannot see beauty being destroyed, and beautiful things should be protected. Human art can continuously create, but the art of nature destroys one less thing.

Let’s not say whether Chen Li’an’s approach was right or not. Anyway, some people must have felt that it was wrong. After Ning Jing and Feng Xiaoning talked about it, Feng Xiaoning felt that Chen Li’an was destroying his script and affecting his creation!

"Is he so loving? Then if I don't ask him to act, can he still control me?" Feng Xiaoning said to Ning Jing on the phone, somewhat unhappy.

Ning Jing listened to Feng Xiaoning's angry words and did not choose to refute him. She said directly: "If you are willing to change him, he will pay for the missing investment."

Feng Xiaoning: "He, he, let me think about it."

"I've passed on the message, Director Feng, you can think about it yourself." Ning Jing said with a somewhat angry tone: "In the end, I don't think it's necessary!"

After saying that, Ning Jing hung up the phone. She really has no temper. I helped you with your investment. Why are you so angry with me? The director is amazing, I still scold Jiang Wen!

Thinking of Jiang Wen, Ning Jing became a little angry. The doggy man got up and ran away that morning! From now on, I won’t pay attention to him even if I beat him to death!

Ning Jing, who became more and more angry as she thought about it, took the phone and dialed Chen Li'an. Chen Li'an, who was taking a bath at home, heard the phone ringing. She passed the phone next to the bathtub and lazily answered it.

"Hey, where is that?"

"Chen Li'an! I got the message for you. This time you owe me a favor! A grown man is in trouble!"

Ning Jing yelled and hung up the phone. She felt much better. It was better to curse people.

Chen Li'an, who was soaking in the bathtub and holding the phone, was a little confused. Did Ning Jing eat explosives? You can't be dumped by Jiang Wen again, right?

Chen Li'an, who couldn't figure it out, threw the phone aside in frustration, looked at the innocent little duck floating on the water, grabbed it and gave it two hard slaps.

Why are you laughing?

However, the movie Red River Valley should be considered completed. Chen Li'an's investment of 600,000 yuan is not a lot, and it is not all invested by one person. Even if the movie loses money in the end, it will not lose much.

Who makes Chen Li'an like the character in the movie very much?

The key is that there really aren't many good movies in the Mainland these days. If you come across one, don't miss it. It's much better than starring in a poor Yao drama.

There is definitely no problem with Chen Li'an's looks to play the male lead in a Qiong Yao drama, but the only problem is that his acting skills are too good and he is not suitable for playing such a brainless character, otherwise he will really act like he has a missing brain stem.

Beauty Chen is amazing at this. She can act in a Qiong Yao opera and speak such ridiculous lines without breaking out in a hurry.

Things in the Chasing Dream entertainment industry have come to an end, and Chen Li'an is going to pursue art. Today is the first time the studio has been opened, and many people from the art circle have been invited to come and see it.

Chen Li'an set out for the studio early in the morning when the sky was dark. Bai Qing and Ji Fa had already arrived and were chatting in the yard. Ji Fa, with his blond hair, stood out in the red wave.

When Chen Li'an saw her, he walked over with a smile, opened his arms and shouted: "Ji Fa, you are finally here, I miss you so much!"

Hearing Chen Li'an's untrue words, Ji Fa rolled her eyes but hugged him, then patted him and said, "Why didn't you pick me up yesterday?"

"You're angry because you're too busy and don't have time?" Chen Li'an asked looking at Ji Fa who had a little temper.

Ji Fa couldn't help but snorted and said, "I'm used to it. You didn't pick me up last time in Venice!"

Chen Li'an: "." I'm used to your attitude and I'm just angry, but I won't coax you.

Don't want to continue discussing this topic and said quickly: "Ji Fa, what do you think of my work this time?"

Chen Li'an's words stepped on Ji Fa's nerves, and she immediately shouted angrily: "Why don't you go to Paris to do such a good work?! You put it here with no value at all! Why didn't you tell me in advance! "

Looking at Ji Fa jumping, Bo Qing glanced at Chen Li'an sympathetically. When Ji Fa saw the Inspur Series-Hong, he was shocked, and then he started to feel distressed, feeling that he had missed out on a lot of money.

Installation art is not like oil paintings that can be carried around. Especially works like Chen Li'an's are integrated with the entire yard and can only be fixed in this one place for a lifetime.

Jifa thought it was a pity. If this work were moved to Paris, it could be turned into an art exhibition, which would maximize the commercial value of art.

Ji Fa is really angry now. She has been waiting for Chen Li'an's next work. When she knew that Chen Li'an created installation art, she didn't care. But after seeing how good this work was, she felt regretful.

If only this were an oil painting, it would definitely sell for a sky-high price!

Such a good inspiration, such a good idea, why not draw it?

Facing Ji Fa's question, Chen Li'an didn't say anything. He pulled Ji Fa to the door of the yard and pressed her shoulders to keep her still.

"What are you doing?" Ji Fa turned his head and looked at Chen Li'an and asked.

Chen Li'an shook his head and signaled Ji Fa to stop talking. He looked up at the sun that was about to break through the clouds and said, "Wait for the dawn, and you will see a miracle."

The moment Chen Li'an finished speaking, a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and shone down. The dazzling sunlight shone on the colored glass arranged by Chen Li'an in the wave. The strong and dazzling colored light spots immediately formed a dazzling colorful road in the wave.

At this time, a gust of wind happened to blow, and the red silk thread swayed slightly, making a buzzing sound in the air, and a huge red wave surged in, as if it was about to sweep the entire world!

Ji Fa stared blankly at the scene in front of him, as if he was stupid. He broke away from Chen Li'an's hands and walked straight towards the middle of the wave. He carefully raised his feet in front of the road formed by the colorful light spots and stepped on it. .

The colorful light spots suddenly became part of her body, as if she was wearing a gorgeous coat, protecting her as she moved forward in the waves.

Ji Fa couldn't help but swallowed, turned his head and looked at Chen Li'an and asked tremblingly: "Chen Li'an, is the name of this work Rise of an Empire?"

Chen Li'an: "???" What kind of AFP statement is this! Knock you on the head! ! !

This is the wave of the times, not the wave of the sickle and hammer!

The French are really not normal!

(The first one is 15,000, continue tomorrow!!!)
