Chapter 258 256. Artists picking up trash in Hong Kong to beg for food?

To the south of the colorful clouds, the scenery is pleasant.

Kunming is really a good place. Compared with the bleak late autumn in Beijing, the scenery here is like spring.

This can be regarded as adding a different kind of scenery to this trip to the Golden Rooster, and it also made Chen Li'an's impatience dissipate a lot.

At least there is a beautiful view to see.

The ceremony of the Golden Rooster Awards is very different from foreign film festivals, both in atmosphere and in form with a unique socialist style.

It lacks the feeling of Vanity Fair, and is a little more serious and dignified.

This also made Chen Li'an feel relaxed, as long as he attended a formal occasion, it would save a lot of trouble.

There are a lot of filmmakers who come to participate in the Golden Rooster, and almost all the people from the mainland film industry have come.

Chen Li'an also met He Saifei, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in the Hundred Flowers Awards, and the two met and chatted a lot.

He Saifei also inquired about Gong Li intentionally or unintentionally, probably guessing that Gong Li was pregnant before.

After Chen Li'an put it off, he chatted with other people who took the initiative to make friends.He Saifei didn't get an answer, so she thought of calling Gong Li back to ask about the situation.

Chen Li'an knew a lot of people in the film industry, but not many people had good relationships. Only those who had worked with him were considered familiar, and the others were at most nodding acquaintances.

However, Chen Li'an is still very well-known in the industry. This time, the two starring movies were shortlisted, and they were both nominated for Best Actor.

Coupled with the fact that Chen Li'an has been published in periodicals, magazines and newspapers from time to time, it is difficult for everyone to know him or not.

In the past, Chen Li'an met many people who were unfamiliar or had only met on the screen this time, and exchanged contact information.

There are also a few directors who came over to meet Chen Li'an, and they all said they hoped to cooperate, but they didn't know whether they wanted to find Chen Li'an to make a film, or they wanted to find some investment.

Chen Li'an is very popular in the mainland now. Last year, a winner and this year's Red River Valley box office were good. He also acted in several movies in Xiangjiang, and the sales of the discs were also good.

He is already the hottest among the new generation of young actors, at least more popular than Xia Yu, who won Best Actor last year, and Chen Li'an's appearance has added too much.

Before that, there was a record company in Beijing who found Chen Li'an and wanted to make a record for him.

These days, as long as they are famous stars, they have basically released one or two albums, and singing is easier to become popular.

Chen Li'an didn't plan to make a record, nor did he plan to go out to make a fool of himself. Singing by himself was just one thing, unless he was willing to spend time learning, otherwise he would be ashamed.

The hotel where Chen Li'an stayed was basically full of people who came to participate in the film festival this time. Wherever he went, he would meet a few people from the circle. When Chen Li'an went downstairs for a meal, he would be dragged to chat with him.

Several media also came over to interview Chen Li'an, wanting to make some news with this recent celebrity!
But Chen Li'an didn't really want to be interviewed. It doesn't make any sense to be nominated and not win an award. It's better to do art by yourself than to mess around with movies. At least he has won two gold awards for art.

But the reporter didn't want to let Chen Li'an go. They kept pestering him for interviews, and Chen Li'an couldn't get rid of him.

It wasn't until Ning Jing rushed over to rescue Chen Li'an at night. The two sneaked into Chen Li'an's room, and rolled together as soon as they entered without saying a word.

Ning Jing was pressed against the wall and panted heavily, her pretty face was blushing, she turned her head to look at Chen Li'an, who was busy with work, and couldn't help letting out a long sigh
After an unknown amount of time, Ning Jing wiped the sweat from her forehead, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Chen Li'an, and said out of breath, "I haven't seen you for a few days, you are amazing again."

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows, took a sip of water and said, "It's just finished, and you want to come again? Let's talk about the business, the factory should help you find a relationship, can you win the prize?"

"Yes, Jinji is hopeless, but Baihua should be fine." Ning Jing took a sip of water from Chen Li'an and said, "Red Cherry should be the best heroine of Jinji, and the best hero should be Kong Fansen."

This result was similar to what Chen Lian thought, so he asked, "What about the best director and best picture, is there any hope for Red River Valley?"

"Didn't you read the nominations? The nominees are all small awards."

"Hey, Director Feng probably should be disappointed."

Chen Li'an shook his head with a smile, now there is another person running with him.

"You probably have no hope!" Ning Jing looked at Chen Li'an who was gloating and said angrily.

Chen Li'an shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't care, I will know the result tomorrow, by the way, did you meet Jiang Wen when you came?"

"No." Ning Jing looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Why mention him?"

"It's okay, I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed. I met him today, and it's quite embarrassing." When Chen Li'an met Jiang Wen last time, Ning Jing was still with him.

Now it's the other way around, life's chances are sometimes so wonderful.

Ning Jing glanced at Chen Li'an angrily and said, "Aren't you quite excited? Don't you men in the capital like to snatch other people's honey the most?"

How to say it is the same as Cao thief, if it is really robbing, it must be robbing Zhou Yun.

Chen Li'an doesn't know how to be a Cao thief, at most he cuts off in advance, but he has no idea about Zhou Yun, and he has such a bad taste.

He and Jiang Wen have no enmity, why do such a thing.

On the second day, Chen Li'an met Zhang Guoli while having breakfast. He just rushed over in the morning, and his starring role in BJ was also shortlisted for the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers. This time he came here to win an award.

But when Zhang Guoli saw Chen Li'an, he felt a little helpless, and always felt that Chen Li'an was inferior.

"Mr. Chen, this is the first time we've met. Thank you very much for your previous investment." Zhang Guoli said to Chen Li'an very politely.

Chen Li'an ate his breakfast with his head down, glanced up at him and said, "Kangxi is finished? How will the final funds be settled?"

Chen Li'an has no good temper for people who want to cheat him out of money, and it is considered polite to talk to him calmly.

Zhang Guoli was a little upset, but he still smiled and said: "It's finished, the problem of funds, save a province in other places, and the filming will be over."

Chen Li'an sneered when he heard it, looked at Zhang Guoli and said, "Since the filming can be finished in one province, why did we have to add an additional 100 million?"

Zhang Guoli: "." I want to cheat you out of money.
Looking at Zhang Guoli who was not speaking, Chen Li'an wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Now that the filming is over, I won't mention the previous things, I hope we can cooperate well in the future."

Zhang Guoli smiled awkwardly and said: "Of course, I hope Teacher Chen can continue to support Kangxi's project in the future."

"It's easy to say, the contract has been signed, and I will definitely continue to support it." Chen Li'an paused and looked at Zhang Guoli and said, "It's just that I hope that the previous incident will not happen again."

"Definitely not, definitely not." Zhang Guoli quickly assured, and said to Chen Li'an: "Kangxi has already edited five episodes, and is looking for a TV station to discuss cooperation."

Chen Li'an hummed, looked at Zhang Guoli and said, "I hope it can be sold for a good price, and there will be more funding for the next film."

"Haha, I will!" Zhang Guoli laughed on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking about how to get rid of Chen Li'an and Chen Meiren, and he regretted signing such a long contract with Chen Meiren in order to compete.

After Chen Li'an hit Zhang Guoli, he didn't have the heart to chat with him any more. He looked decent and kind, but he was actually not a serious person.

To be precise, there are not many decent people in the entertainment industry, and Chen Li'an himself is not a serious person.

Soon it was time for the awards ceremony at night, and the result was just as Chen Li'an thought. It was another day of running with him. Huo Jianqi won the best directorial debut, Ning Jing won Best Actress, and Red River Valley won a few small awards. Best Editing Best Music Best Recording.
Feng Xiaoning was so angry that he took Chen Li'an to drink a lot of wine that night and vomited bitterness, bluntly saying that the judges were unfair.

Chen Li'an could only smile, and couldn't figure out why the Red River Valley didn't even get a Hundred Flowers, Shanghai Film Studio wasn't strong enough.

It is difficult to judge the fairness of the Golden Rooster Awards, and the compensation awards such as Baihua's fruit and fruit are even less interesting.

On the second day after the awards ceremony, Chen Li'an returned to the capital directly, and there were still things to be busy in the capital.

After finishing his work in the capital, Chen Li'an was going to Xiangjiang. During this period of time, he seemed to be busy, but in fact he was wasting his time running with him, and Chen Li'an's own business was delayed.

Chen Meiren is now a month old, and there are many inconveniences at work. Li Dabai has been assigned by Chen Li'an to help, so he can get acquainted with the new job in advance and find an assistant for himself.

Chen Li'an himself is busy meeting the artists in the capital. He will go to Xiangjiang in a few days, and the art space will be officially launched.

After spending four or five days in the capital, meeting more than 20 artists and seeing their works, Chen Li'an hurried to Xiangjiang.

Their artworks will not be sent to Xiangjiang until the art space is officially completed.

This project has been delayed for almost a year, and now it is finally about to officially start, Chen Li'an is still very excited.

This is the first time he has taken the initiative to engage in business instead of art.

Chen Li'an did not regard this matter as pure art, because from the beginning his idea was not pure, he just wanted to commercialize art.

Chen Li'an is different from Bai Qing. He is not a person who only cares about art and doesn't care about money. Art also needs money, and artists also need to eat. Bringing art to more people is also a pleasure.

After arriving in Xiangjiang, Chen Li'an and Wang Zuxian met. As for the princess who returned to Xiangjiang, Chen Li'an did not go to see her.

Wang Zuxian had a lot of complaints about Chen Li'an. The last time she clearly agreed to come to see her, she didn't come in the end, and even went to Japan to get entangled with other women.

Wang Zuxian looked at Chen Li'an and said unhappily: "Perfect lover, are you dating Yasuko Tomita? Last time at the premiere in Xiangjiang, I felt that she looked at you in a wrong way."

Chen Li'an: "." Not denying or admitting, the main point is a thick-skinned, dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

With Chen Li'an's appearance, Wang Zuxian has nothing to do, scolding him and being reluctant to beat him makes him feel distressed, the scumbag is also chosen by himself, what should he do if he doesn't feel like it,
Wang Zuxian snorted and looked at Chen Li'an and said, "You can't leave so soon when you come to Xiangjiang this time, you have to accompany me well!"

Chen Li'an smiled and agreed: "No problem, I will be in Xiangjiang before the Chinese New Year. The work of the art space is very troublesome, and I will not be able to finish it in a while."

"So it's still for work? Every time you come, it's for work, never because of me."

". Definitely next time!"

It is beautiful for Wang Zuxian to be angry, but there is a sense of resentment that makes people feel pity. Chen Li'an sighed in his heart, and decided not to go to see the princess for a few days.

It's hard to bear the beauty's kindness.

After spending a good day with Wang Zuxian, Chen Li'an went to work, and this time he came with work.

In the art space chosen by Wang Zuxian and Cheng Shufen together, Chen Li'an checked it carefully, set up a table inside, and started working.

In the site like an industrial ruin, Chen Li'an took a pen and a ruler to re-modify and adjust his original design, and let the decoration company start to enter the site for decoration.

Chen Li'an's theme this time is very interesting, red cyberpunk!
Red is the mainland, cyberpunk is Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang will return next year. It must be very interesting to have two different systems and cultures colliding together.

Maybe Chen Li'an also hopes to add more red to the city of Xiangjiang, and replace the inner white heart with a hot red heart.

The art space is undergoing upgrading and renovation, and Chen Li'an is not idle, picking up garbage in the trash cans in the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang every day.

It's not that the poor have no food to pick up garbage, but they are collecting materials. Chen Li'an is looking for what he thinks is the most characteristic of Xiangjiang, and wants to turn it into a beating red mechanical heart.

This heart will be beating continuously in the middle of the art space, and will be connected with the whole space through transparent tubes filled with red liquid.

The red heart pumps blood to the whole Xiangjiang!If you add the background of the financial crisis, it fits the background of the times too!

Without the strong support from the mainland during the financial crisis, Xiangjiang's economy would have collapsed completely. Unfortunately, this will not bring back the equal treatment of Hong Kong people to the mainland.

At least in the entertainment circle, Xiangjiang's view of the mainland will continue until one or two years later. Chen Li'an doesn't know how to evaluate them even though they rely on the mainland for food and still don't look at the mainland.

Thinking of his own works, Chen Li'an is very excited, and goes out every day to find all kinds of abandoned materials, and use these abandoned materials to represent Xiangjiang.

Isn't the ridiculous pride in the hearts of Xiangjiang people just being abandoned by Daying? Let's go back to mother's embrace.

Chen Li'an looks for rubbish on the street every day regardless of his image, and it is easy to attract the attention of others. Scavengers are not uncommon, but this is the first time I have seen such a handsome scavenger.

So someone took the initiative to approach, and was surprised to find that this handsome guy picking up trash with the old lady is not that mainland star!
Chen Li'an, an artist known as a sexy lover in Hong Kong!
As a result, the news that the sexy lover and modern artist suspected of mental illness was picking up garbage in Hong Kong and begging for food quickly spread.

Chen Li'an really wanted to send some small metal sweet potatoes to those newspapers!

You are mentally ill!You just beg for food!

This kind of news that can look down on mainland celebrities is very popular in Xiangjiang, and Chen Li'an became a celebrity almost overnight.

Even in China, people called Chen Li'an one after another, asking him if he encountered any difficulties in Xiangjiang, or if he was extorted by gangsters and ran out of money, so he went to the streets to beg.

Chen Li'an was speechless. He felt that his actions seemed to have been misunderstood, and it had even damaged the image of the mainland.

"I can't bear it!" Chen Li'an angrily threw the newspaper on the table, and said to Cheng Shufen: "Aren't these paparazzi idle? They are too courageous to write anything!"

Cheng Shufen remained silent, who asked you to be unkempt when you went out to pick up garbage, dragging a big bag and a scavenger like a Mozi carved out of it.

Cheng Shufen wanted to open Chen Li'an's mind to see what was inside!Why don't you care about your image at all?

Chen Li'an looked at the random materials that had been collected, turned to Cheng Shufen and said, "Sister Shufen, please contact the media. I will hold a press conference here the day after tomorrow to explain this matter clearly."

"The day after tomorrow?" Cheng Shufen looked at the pile of "garbage" in front of her and asked worriedly: "Is there enough time? If there is no finished work, it's not easy to hold a press conference."

Chen Li'an picked up the red paint pot on the table and said, "Of course there is time, I want to show them what a red heart is this time! Tear off their last false pride and fig leaf!"

If it's a financial crisis right now, it's perfect!To be able to tear away all the ridiculous pride in the hearts of Xiangjiang people!
But great art is forward-looking, and Chen Li'an doesn't mind being exposed so early, let's let the red brew for a while!Brewing into a red storm!
