Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 75 75. The perseverant Xu Jinglei (please follow up)

Amidst the melodious piano music, the three people in the red booth were silent and thinking about their own problems.

Ji Fa thought Chen Li'an's so-called installation art was very thoughtful, but it was different from what she had in mind.

Installation art is a complete space and whole. This kind of art cannot be sold. It can only be made into an exhibition hall or public space to make money through tickets and other means.

This is a very difficult art form to make a profit. Just like performance art, you can often only make a small amount of money by recording it through photography.

What Ji Fa wanted was for Chen Li'an and Bai Qing to create oil paintings for each other, so that it would be easier for him as an art manager to operate.

Looking at the troubled Ji Fa, Chen Li'an did not explain his ideas to her in detail. Of course, he considered the issue of profitability and would not turn his works into a public space that could not be moved or collected.

Bai Qing was very interested in Chen Li'an's ideas and followed Chen Li'an's ideas in thinking about how to combine oil painting and photography.

"What do you mean by Chinese style? Do you have a theme in mind?" Bai Qing took the initiative to sit next to Chen Li'an and asked.

Chen Li'an nodded slightly and talked about the Jiangnan style he saw in Suzhou.

"I want to show the beauty of Eastern classical artistic conception through the form of photography and oil painting, combining the old and new, the East and the West, to show the beauty of Jiangnan's artistic conception."

Bai Qing is a northerner and does not have much experience with the gentleness and sentimentality of Jiangnan. She prefers direct and strong visual impact and emotional expression.

"This is different from what I thought." Bai Qing said with a slight frown.

Chen Li'an cut the steak and said: "In my eyes, Jiangnan is not gentle and sentimental, and its inner strength and softness are not distant and sad, but a kind of suppressed emotion that cannot be relaxed."

It was the first time that Bai Qing heard someone use the word depressive to describe the charm of Jiangnan, and he was curious about what Jiangnan looked like in Chen Li'an's eyes.

Ji Fa sat next to her with her chin propped up and had no idea what the two people who were communicating in Chinese were saying. She fiddled with the steak on the plate helplessly and said, "Chen, you can make a work for me to see." , I don’t quite understand what you mean.”

"Of course. After the film festival is over, I will try to make a work for you to see." After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he turned to Bai Qing and asked, "Are you free in the next few days?"

"Yes, I will go find you after your film festival is over."

"Um."

Chen Li'an's thoughts are actually related to the movie Hua Yue. Through the depressing house in Tongli Water Village, Chen Li'an saw that there are too many human struggles and depressions buried under the picturesque scenery of Jiangnan.

It's just that the camera can't express the strong color impact, so Chen Li'an thought of using the freer and more brilliant colors of oil painting to make up for the shortcomings of photography.

Using ultra-large photos as a canvas, he creates strong emotional colors on the gentle and sentimental Jiangnan scenery.

It's just that Chen Li'an hasn't figured out the specific creative ideas yet. He just has a general idea and will discuss it with Bo Qing after the film festival.

After leaving Maxim, Chen Li'an walked on the street with nothing to do, so he returned to the National Art Museum of China.

As soon as Chen Li'an arrived at the art museum, he was surrounded by several college students who came to visit. They looked at Chen Li'an with admiration and asked questions.

Most of these students came from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. They are very receptive to new things and have a strong desire for new art forms. They asked Chen Li'an to ask a lot about his creative ideas.

Chen Li'an looked at these people of his own age and was very happy to communicate with them. Everyone only talked about art and it was pure, unlike Xu Jinglei who wanted to get close to him in the morning for other purposes.

Seven or eight people chatted for a while, answered their questions and then dispersed.

Chen Li'an, now at leisure again, was going to go out and smoke a cigarette.

"Chen Li'an!"

Just when Chen Li'an walked to the door, he suddenly heard someone calling him, and the voice sounded familiar. The voice of the silent person on the phone the day before yesterday was very similar, and Xu Jinglei could indeed get her contact information from the school.

Chen Li'an suspected that Xu Jinglei was the one who called him that day.

Xu Jinglei, who was behind the crowd, trotted over and stood opposite Chen Li'an. The bangs on her forehead were slightly messy, but she looked very youthful and energetic, and her smile was sweet and friendly.

Twenty-one-year-old women seem to be born with this kind of youthful vitality, regardless of their appearance, just because of their youthful vitality.

Chen Li'an glanced at her and admired the girl's perseverance, so he stopped and looked at her, wondering what she was going to do.

Chen Li'an looked at Xu Jinglei and asked, "Hello, what's the matter?"

"Hello, I am Xu Jinglei, a sophomore student from Nortel." Xu Jinglei smiled and stretched out her hand, as if it was the first time she met Chen Li'an.

Xu Jinglei's slender fingers were very beautiful. Chen Li'an shook his hand lightly and then retracted his hand and said, "Chen Li'an, also from Nortel, freshman."

"I know, your name is famous in school." Xu Jing pulled back her short hair, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Can you waste a little time? I have many ideas about your works and want to talk to you. .”

Looking at Xu Jinglei who behaved naturally and generously, Chen Li'an said slightly: "Okay, but you have to wait for a while."

After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and lit it. Then he realized what he was doing and looked at Xu Jinglei and asked, "Do you want one?"

"Thank you, I don't." Xu Jinglei looked at the cigarette held between Chen Li'an's fingers and suddenly felt that there was no need to hide anything, "Okay, give me one."

Chen Li'an took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Xu Jinglei, then took out a lighter and lit it for her.

Xu Jinglei held a cigarette and smoked it skillfully. Her smoking movements were very beautiful. Women who smoke often have an unspeakable charm. Even girls in their early twenties will add a touch of mature charm.

Xu Jinglei was still very beautiful when she was young. With short hair and a youthful face, she really looked like a talented woman.

"Are you going to be busy later?" Xu Jinglei took a puff of cigarette and asked Chen Li'an.

"Not busy." Before Chen Li'an finished speaking, the phone in his pocket rang.

Chen Li'an took it out and took a look at it, then said sorry to Xu Jinglei and went to answer the phone.

A few minutes later, Chen Li'an came back and looked at Xu Jinglei and said, "Sorry, I may not be able to talk to you today."

Xu Jinglei, who was opposite Chen Li'an, felt a flash of disappointment in her heart after being rejected, but she didn't show it on the surface. She still said calmly and generously: "Since it's inconvenient for you, forget it. I'll ask you for advice next time."

"Well, sorry."

After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Xu Jinglei.

"Hey, can you leave me your contact information? I'll ask you next time."

Contact information? Chen Li'an was a little surprised. Could it be that the person calling was not Xu Jinglei, but the voice sounded very similar.

Chen Li'an turned his head and looked at Xu Jinglei, hesitated and gave her his phone number.

Xu Jinglei took the notebook she had prepared and jotted it down. She was a little surprised why Chen Li'an still left the number of the public phone booth on the school's contact list when he had a phone number.

However, Xu Jinglei did not express these doubts. After quickly writing down the number, she raised her head and called it again to confirm with Chen Li'an.

"That's right, next time we call, I have to leave beforehand. Goodbye." Chen Li'an waved to Xu Jinglei and left quickly.

Xu Jinglei looked at Chen Li'an's back and suddenly shouted: "Is it okay tomorrow? I will come tomorrow."

Chen Li'an stopped and looked back at Xu Jinglei and said, "No problem, see you tomorrow."

Everyone must catch up on reading it. I want to rush to Sanjiang. Dear gentlemen, you must catch up on reading it tomorrow! Please!
