Chapter 329. Chapter 327

In the spacious and bright conference room, the white porcelain cups on the conference table are arranged in a neat straight line.

Chen Li'an often saw such scenes on TV, and this was the first time he sat here and became a part of it.

Looking at the uniform teacups, Chen Li'an felt very comfortable, which was a blessing for those with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

So much so that Chen Li'an didn't want to pick it up and drink the tea, as he didn't want to destroy such a neat teacup.

Bai Qing, who was sitting next to Chen Li'an, didn't think too much, took a sip directly, and put it back casually.

Chen Li'an looked at the teacup that was in the wrong direction and in the wrong place, and couldn't help it, so he stretched out his hand and put it in order again.

Bai Qing gave Chen Li'an a sideways look, then deliberately moved the cup, and Chen Li'an went to set it up again.

The two of them went back and forth several times, as bored as kindergarten children.

Fortunately, other people who participated in the meeting came in at this time, and the two stopped such boring actions.

Bai Qing also put away his playfulness, looked at the booklet in front of him, frowned and thought about how to communicate with those master craftsmen later.

"Is the teacher from the Artists Association really easy to communicate with today?" Bai Qing was worried that those people would be more rigid and old-fashioned, and she was most annoyed by persuading others or arguing with others.

Chen Li'an nodded and said, "It's easy to talk, and you don't want to see where we have a meeting."

Bai Qing raised his eyebrows and said: "I hope, I know a few painters of traditional Chinese painting, all of them are bored and stubborn, not freehand at all, and don't know how to paint landscapes."

Chen Li'an couldn't help laughing, looked at the part of the design draft that Bai Qing was in charge of and said, "Your design is more inclined to traditional Chinese painting, and it's quite different from mine. Your design is definitely fine."

"Well, I prefer to work on the basis of traditional culture. I have seen a lot of modern art abroad, and I have seen all the exaggerated ones, but our traditional culture is rare. My design is definitely more popular than yours. .”

Bai Qing was extremely confident, and said with some pride: "This time you will be upstaged by me."

Chen Li'an smiled and said, "That's great, I can still be lazy."

"Be lazy!" Bai Qing snorted and said: "When the exhibition is held, you are still in charge of me, and the years will be quiet."

"Okay, okay, you are quiet, I will move forward with a heavy burden." Chen Li'an looked at the people who had already arrived, and added in a low voice: "Today is the last meeting, and all plans must be formally finalized. Let's celebrate with a big meal when we're done."

"Oh, I see."

After a while, the meeting officially started. Materials were placed in front of everyone, and the leaders sitting in the main seats were not only from the Propaganda Department, but also from the Culture Department.

A few people from the Artists Association also came here in the name of guidance, but Chen Li'an knew very well that the so-called guidance was nothing more than a shame made by the Ministry of Culture and the Artists Association, so they came to take up a position.

Both Chen Li'an and Bai Qing are engaged in modern art, and they come here to promote traditional culture abroad. Those masters who are rooted in traditional culture will lose face.

Moreover, Chen Li'an asked the Propaganda Department to take the lead in doing this matter, so where would the leaders of the Ministry of Culture lose their face?

In short, all kinds of troubles are the troubles that Lin Fangmu told Chen Li'an before.

However, Lin Fangmu was the biggest leader who came today, and he was the first to speak with a smile: "In the past few days, everyone has held many meetings, and Chen Li'an and Comrade Bai Qing's plans have also been discussed many times.

Everyone has also said that the feasibility is very high, and we will formally formulate the plan today, implement it as soon as possible, and strive to promote our traditional culture abroad as soon as possible. "

As soon as Lin Fangmu's voice fell, the office was quiet for a while, and then a master from the Artists Association said: "I have seen the plan of this exhibition, but is it a bit too deviant to bring forth the old and lose the originality? flavor."

Chen Li'an glanced at him and felt that he looked familiar. He guessed that he had met him before at an Artists Association meeting.

But even if it is an association, they are not here to support the situation, but to find fault.

After all, what Chen Li'an is doing now is equivalent to breaking the pot. If Chen Li'an succeeds this time, the promotion, positioning and support for the development of traditional culture and traditional handicrafts will change in the future.

This is not just a matter of different creative ideas, it is really going to blame others.

Faced with doubts, Chen Li'an said calmly: "The two are not in conflict. Bai Qing's design is still made according to tradition, and some representative traditional crafts will be brought to the exhibition.

To present our traditional culture from multiple angles, both new and old. The times are developing, and art schools are iteratively updated. Our traditional culture should also try to move forward, not because of the past. Do it, you can't change it now. "

Chen Li'an's attitude was pretty good, and he explained patiently, but the people on the other side didn't compromise so easily.

"Innovation will not be completely negated. Take the ceramics you designed as an example. Pottery, you are a vessel or vessel first. Look at the things you designed. What's the use? Weird shapes!"

Chen Li'an coughed and said: "Are we going to discuss the practicality of art? This question is meaningless. The artwork I want to make is not a tool. I am an artist, not a craftsman."

"If you just want to guide these things today, there is no need at all. The theme of this exhibition is inclusive, so don't keep staring at it."

Lin Fangmu saw that Chen Li'an couldn't control his temper, and worried that he would go crazy again, so he quickly said: "I think Li'an's design this time is very ingenious, combining tradition and modernity, making traditional culture fit the times." Development and demand, it's a good try."

After saying a few words in support of Chen Li'an, Lin Fangmu looked at the professors who were in their teens and said with a smile, "Of course, the teachers are right and accept criticism with an open mind."

After Lin Fangmu finished speaking, he picked up his cup and drank tea with a smile. He accepted the criticism but didn't mention any changes.

Compared with those masters, it was Chen Li'an who convinced Lin Fangmu that an internationally renowned artist and an artist who has been in contact with the international art world for a long time must have a more international vision than them.

Moreover, it’s not that traditional culture has never been promoted abroad, and the effect is not good. Now there is a new idea, why not try it.

Lin Fangmu still hopes to succeed this time and wants to go further.

The leader pushed back, and all the contradictions were hidden from the table in an instant, and the subsequent links were much simpler.

Under the coordination of the Ministry, things that were originally troublesome have become extremely simple.

It only took Chen Li'an more than two hours to get everything done, and dozens of craftsmen also got the finalized plan.

The rest is execution. It takes time to create these handicrafts, and there are still two months before the end of the year.

The time is tight and the task is heavy. The master craftsmen who came from various places returned to various places to start making.

Chen Li'an also has to go about his own business. The design and production have been completed. The next step is to coordinate with Paris to apply for the venue and time for the exhibition hall.

As for those who have opinions, who cares about their life and death, let's play around.

When Ji Fa received a call from Chen Li'an, she felt that Chen Li'an was too conservative. How could he only hold an exhibition in Paris? This is not a global tour!
"Don't look at your current fame. Isn't it too stingy to only hold one event? Moreover, it is also related to the future development of the company. You must take this opportunity to promote more."

Ji Fa, who was far away in Paris, basked in the sun and drank red wine, and continued to educate Chen Li'an on the phone: "New York, Washington, London, Venice, Tokyo, Seoul, Xiangjiang, Singapore, Toronto, Sydney, these places are all to go."

Chen Li'an: "." It will be very tiring, okay? If you go on tour like this, you won't have to do anything next year.

"Don't worry, it only takes a week for each place. It can be done in half a year. Just work hard." Ji Fa took a sip of red wine and continued: "Cheng Shufen will arrange it in Asia, and leave it to me in Europe and America. You just need to Just be responsible for finishing the work, and hurry up, you are so lazy."

Chen Li'an: "." I don't want to talk, but I'm tired just listening.

"That's all right, I'll hang up first, and I have to call Cheng Shufen." Ji Fa hung up the phone after finishing speaking, without giving Chen Li'an a chance to refuse.

Chen Li'an turned to look at Bai Qing and said, "I don't want to go out to eat anymore, I'm tired."

Bai Qing couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand to pinch Chen Li'an's face and said: "I still want to be lazy, there is no chance for these."

Chen Li'an slapped Bai Qing's hand off angrily, and squeezed it back.

"Be busy when you are busy, so that you won't have to hook up with women again." Bai Qing said with some disgust: "Why can't you be idle? Have you calculated yourself? How many are there? The emperor is not as stupid as you."

"I'm just lustful, not stupid."

"You still know you're lustful!"

"This is called liberating myself, the nature and instinct of a lecherous creature, this will bring me closer to art!"

"."

The preparations for the art exhibition have come to an end for the time being, but Chen Li'an can't take it easy.

The movie is about to be released, and the Golden Rooster Awards are about to start, neither of these things can be avoided.

The premiere of the film was simple, without too much ostentation, and it was not so embarrassing to go to the Great Hall. The film itself was not suitable.

However, the Geological Auditorium is not bad, it is the second largest theater in Beijing, and many movie premieres are held here.

Huo Jianqi paid much attention to the premiere this time, even more than his first movie.

Huo Jianqi called many familiar people and sent out invitations. Almost no one would refuse to come if they asked, and even if they didn't come, it was because they couldn't make it.

This made Huo Jianqi feel more face, and couldn't help showing off in front of his wife Su Xiaoxiao.

But Su Xiaoxiao's words discouraged him.

"Who do you think you are? This is just to give Li'an face. Don't be too narcissistic."

Huo Jianqi was so beaten by his wife that he didn't want to talk anymore, but he also knew in his heart that he really didn't have that much face, and the reason why he wanted to come was because of Chen Li'an.

The entertainment industry is nothing more than Vanity Fair. In this Vanity Fair, there is no one who can make more money than Chen Lian, and there is no one who is more famous than Chen Lian.

No matter which point it is aimed at, it will not hurt to know such a person.

On the day of the premiere, Chen Li'an came early, but when he arrived, he was dragged by Jiang Wen to get to know Zhang Yimou, so don't be so embarrassing at that time.

Zhang Yimou looked at Chen Lian in silence, and Chen Lian looked at Zhang Yimou and didn't know what to say.

Jiang Wen just watched the show happily, not to mention how happy he was.

A few people from far away wanted to come over to say hello, but when they saw this scene, they immediately stopped in their tracks and looked around from the corner of their ears.

"You said you wouldn't fight?"

"It's not, it's not, they are all people with heads and faces, how can they do this."

"Fortunately, Gong Li didn't come. It would be interesting if Gong Li came too."

"Gong Li is also coming tonight. You don't know. Director Cheng and Jing Ke's assassination crew are here, and they're all at the door."

"Hey, that's interesting. Hey, if Chen Meiren and Ning Jing also come over, it will be so fucking interesting."

"I'm not sure, Beauty Chen will definitely come. Ning Jing cooperated with Director Huo last time, so maybe she will save face this time."

"Damn it, Chen Li'an is finally going to be deflated. Let's see how he ends up!"

The last sentence was said by Feng Xiaogang with his big teeth bared. He is really not a very powerful person on this occasion. After all, Party A and Party B have not yet been released.

Feng Xiaogang still remembers revenge, Chen Li'an hooked up all the goddesses he had never met before.

That's Sophie Marceau!How dare he!
At this time, a few cars parked outside the Geological Auditorium, Director Cheng brought Jing Ke's assassination crew over.

All the popular and powerful factions, Gong Li, Wang Zhiwen, Li Xuejian, Zhang Fengyi, and a make-up Mr. Zhou.

Such a lineup is still rare in the film industry.

Picking out one alone is the main role, and domestic directors only have the face and strength of Director Cheng to bring them together.

When they got out of the car and walked up the steps, another car stopped, and Chen Meiren appeared with her little sisters.

Li Dabai, Chen Zihan, Jiang Qingqing and Gao Yuanyuan who made up the number.

"Tsk, there are quite a lot of people." Ning Jing didn't know when she arrived, she glanced at Chen Meiren and walked in with her head raised.

The reporters outside were almost going crazy at this time. What a ridiculous lineup is this? Why are Chen Li'an's good lovers here?

Can Chen Li'an come out of the geological auditorium alive tonight?

Where these reporters did not pay attention, there was also a beautiful woman holding a little girl by the hand and walking through the crowd with movie tickets into the cinema.

In the backstage of the auditorium, Chen Li'an suddenly heard the noise coming from outside, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Hu Jun running fast, running towards him, and shouted: "Teacher Chen! Go!!"

Chen Li'an looked at Hu Jun suspiciously and didn't understand why he was crazy, he was the lead actor, where would he go in today's premiere?Why are you leaving?
Could it be that he, the male second, was afraid that he would steal his limelight?It shouldn't be, Mr. Hu still has this idea.

When Hu Jun saw that Chen Li'an was still sitting with Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen, he quickly ran over and whispered: "Here comes someone! Gong Li, Chen Meiren, Ning Jing and several others have scandals with you. All the actresses are here!"

"Zhuo! Why are they here! I didn't shout!"

Chen Li'an cursed and immediately stood up and ran, even though there were people around at this time, Chen Li'an still ran fast.

His swimming dragon and eight trigrams step has been practiced to a great extent today!

Hu Jun, Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou, who were still there, looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, I thought he, Chen Li'an, had three heads and six arms, so he would be afraid too!"

Hu Jun smiled and gave Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen a strange look. Are you two unlucky people smiling for real or fake?

　I'm sorry, I didn't stop playing the game, and I only came to the code after several rounds. The teammates are too annoying, and I didn't win!
