fringe artist

Chapter 66 65. There is no silver here, 300 taels (for further reading)
"An art manager is a role between an artist and a businessman, and is the driving force behind the artist. A successful artwork cannot be separated from commercial operations." Ji Fa said, holding a wine glass.

After finishing speaking, she took a sip of the Red Star Erguotou highly recommended by Chen Li'an. The spicy taste in her mouth made her frown slightly, but immediately felt a warm current flowing in her body.

This wine seems to be okay?Ji Fa liked Erguotou a little bit.

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

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

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

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

Ji Fa pondered for a while and said, "Last year, I handled a work by a Chinese artist called "Living and Living", and it was auctioned for 120 million pounds!"

After hearing the 120 million pounds, Chen Li'an paused for a while while rolling the roast duck, and calculated how much 120 million pounds was in RMB.

Damn it, why was she suddenly tempted by money!
Ji Fa saw Chen Li'an's heartbeat and continued: "I have a gallery in Europe, and I have a good relationship with several major auction houses, and the relationship with the news media is also very good. Choosing me will definitely make your works show their due. There is value."

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

"50.00%!" Ji Fa said immediately, feeling a little happy in his heart.

When it comes to the question of sharing, most people are already moved. As long as the sharing ratio is not too low, most artists will agree.

After all, artists are a group of different people, and they can often make a quick decision just by looking at each other.

50.00% is not bad, not too low for a newcomer, Chen Li'an is quite satisfied, thought for a while and said: "Add 5.00%, and I can sign a contract with you."

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

Chen Li'an looked at the corners of Ji Fa's mouth, smiled wryly and said, "Did I say I was low?"

Ji Fa picked up the wine glass and looked at Chen Li'an jokingly, "It's better not to know my bottom line, or I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night."

The corner of Chen Li'an's mouth twitched, he picked up his wine glass and touched Ji Fa.

After eating, Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an with a slightly drunken look and said, "Do you know why I want to sign a contract with you? Normally, I don't sign contracts with photographers and performance artists. Managers and curators are different. "

Chen Li'an asked curiously, "Why?"

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

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

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

Speaking of this, Ji Fa poured himself another glass of wine, drank it down suddenly and said with some emotion: "You and Bai Qing are both excellent painters, and your works seem to be mutually successful, like soul mates. .”

There was a trace of loneliness in Ji Fa's eyes, and he didn't know what he thought of, maybe it was his soul mate.

Chen Li'an was silent for a while, and he hadn't seen Bai Qing for a long time, she should have moved away.

For Ji Fa's so-called soul mate, Chen Li'an didn't have that deep feeling, but felt that when he was with Bai Qing, he was more inspired and purer.

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

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

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

"Apart from that "Dream", do you have any other paintings?" Ji Fa asked after drinking a sip of water to wake up a little.

Chen Li'an leaned on the back of the chair and said, "Yes, but I gave them away."

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

Ji Fa, who was more of a businessman, felt that Chen Li'an's behavior was too wasteful, but it was very "artist".

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

"Okay, tomorrow I will come to you with the contract." Ji Fa said as she put down the cup in her hand.

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

Ji Fa's blue eyes lit up and said, "I can't wait."

"I hope you won't be disappointed."

After seeing off Ji Fa, Chen Li'an strolled on the cold street, heading towards the art gallery. The coldness in the breeze calmed down his brain, which was hot from alcohol, a little.

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

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

However, Chen Li'an has always been very confident in his own vision, thinking that he should not be wrong about people, and Ji Fahui is a good manager.

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

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

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

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

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

Chen Li'an's eyes were cold, and there was a very dangerous feeling, the jacket man subconsciously let go of his hand, and said in a slow tone: "Mr. Chen, your work has affected our brand image, please stop exhibiting immediately, otherwise We will take legal action."

Chen Li'an suddenly turned out to be the plaintiff. Bah, he didn't break the law!

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

The man in the jacket froze for a moment, then subconsciously shook his head, who could understand these ghost things, if the leader hadn't read the news in the newspaper, he wouldn't have run to such a place.

"Oh, then you'd better go and have a look. You are welcome to sue me anytime." Chen Li'an turned around and left after speaking.

I didn't deliberately smear in my photos, but just recorded the process of those old people being cheated. If you don't understand the stories behind the photos, you won't be able to see that they were cheated.

How to interpret in the newspaper what is your business?What does it matter to me, Zhou Shuren, that you arrested Lu Xun?

If these people were not guilty, how could they come here? There is no silver 300 taels here!

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

The sweet girl is still more likable, and the jacket guy is the most annoying!
