Chapter 346: Birthday Present
The Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art is the first public contemporary art museum in mainland China, located on the bank of the Huangpu River, renovated on the basis of the Shanghai World Expo City Future Pavilion, opened on October 1, 12, as the venue for the Shanghai Biennale.
The Shanghai Biennale has developed into a global cultural phenomenon and is one of the most important international biennials in Asia, dedicated to introducing Chinese art to Asia and the world.
This year, one of the exhibitors of the Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts, the Shanghai alumni of the Academy of Fine Arts is one of the main bodies, although Wu Tong has not yet graduated, but the art is exquisite, and the popularity is not low among the younger generation of painters, plus there is the recommendation of the Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts and Hu Heng, Liang Qing two masters of Chinese painting in the endorsement, so he has become one of the participating painters.
Although Wu Tong is young, his starting point is really much higher than that of most art students, and even this does not use the relationship between Wu Tong's father and the director of the Shanghai Art Museum, the curator of the Biennale.
"Kiri-chan!"
Director Li is also at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Shanghai today, the time for the Biennale is getting closer and closer, and he, one of the curators, is also getting busier and busier.
"Uncle Lee, good. ”
Wu Tong greeted with a sweet smile.
Director Li only learned about Wu Tong's exhibitors after asking, and couldn't help but praise Wu Tong and scolded Wu Tong's father with a smile: "I just drank coffee with your father a few days ago, and I didn't mention it to me. ”
After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but look up at Meng Fan, who came with Wu Tong, he didn't recognize it, but he felt very familiar, and asked Wu Tong with a smile: "This is your classmate?"
Wu Tong generously took Meng Fan's arm and introduced: "Uncle Li, this is my boyfriend, Meng Fan." He introduced Director Li to Meng Fan again, and Meng Fan greeted him with a bright smile, this is a good friend of the future father-in-law.
"Xiaotong is really growing up, it's all about boyfriends. Director Li shook hands with Meng Fan and said with a smile, "The young man looks really energetic and charming, no wonder he can catch up with Xiaotong." ”
With Director Li standing on the side and chatting with Wu Tong, the work efficiency of the staff at the Chinese Painting Exhibition has been accelerated a lot, and the booth arranged for Wu Tong is also better than the original, and other details are basically convenient.
Director Li waited for Wu Tong's affairs to be done, and then left with a smile, he was really busy enough, and he could stop at this time to take care of the juniors, in addition to Wu Tong's father's reasons, it was also related to Wu Tong himself, this little girl has a good appearance and a good personality, of course, she is likable.
"Where have I seen that young man?"
After Director Li left, he asked the assistant beside him curiously.
The assistant obviously recognized Meng Fan and said with a smile: "This is Meng Fan, who was regarded as a hero a few days ago because he challenged the entire South Korean Fighting Street alone. ”
"Oh, it's him, no wonder it looks familiar. Director Li said with a smile, "I heard Lao Wu say that Xiaotong loves sports, and there is an athlete brother at home, which can be regarded as a separation of culture and sports." ”
The assistant said more: "This Meng Fan is actually not a professional athlete, but a student of the Animation Department of the Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts, and it is precisely because of this that everyone feels that it is amazing, and the non-professional athlete actually blew up South Korea." In addition, his comics are also very powerful, and they have already started serialization in Neon. ”
"yes, that's interesting. ”
......
"Where are you going next?"
Meng Fan, who was introduced as a boyfriend by Wu Tong in front of his elders, had a smirk on his face when he came out.
Wu Tong said: "Let's go watch the drama, just have dinner after watching a show." ”
Of course Meng Fan has no problem, any arrangement is fine, as long as he is with Wu Tong.
After coming out, the two stopped the car and went to the Shanghai Drama Art Center.
After arriving, there was no need to buy a ticket, Wu Tong took Meng Fan and walked directly inside, the staff knew Wu Tong, and greeted him with a very cordial and enthusiastic attitude, of course, he also looked at Meng Fan curiously.
Meng Fan was curious: "Do you know everything?"
Wu Tong smiled: "My mother works here. ”
"Huh?"
Meng Fan was startled, and his heartbeat touched his throat in an instant.
"You're going to show me your mother?"
"What's the matter, don't you want to? I've seen your mother, have you seen my mother or something?"
"Of course I do, but I'm not prepared. This new aunt comes to see her mother-in-law, can't she prepare a gift?"
"Are you thinking too much?"
As he was talking, Meng Fan came to meet an actress who looked familiar but couldn't name her, and was very happy when she saw Wu Tong, and took her hand: "Why are you here today?"
He specially glanced at Meng Fan: "Yo, isn't this our tower hero?" Tongtong, this is bringing a boyfriend to meet his parents!"
As early as when Wu Tong became an "Internet celebrity" because of her identity as the most beautiful painter, someone found out that the real man in the tower was her boyfriend, and most of the people in the Shanghai Drama Art Center knew Wu Tong, and of course they knew about it.
"Aunt Juan, where's my mother?"
Wu Tong didn't tell her parents in advance this time, she suddenly came here to surprise her mother, as for Meng Fan, everyone here knows about it, can her parents still not know?
Aunt Juan remembered it and said with a smile: "Didn't you tell your mother before you came? ”
"Absent?"
When Wu Tong heard this, there was some regret in his eyes, but he also breathed a sigh of relief, and took Meng Fan to see his mother, don't look at Wu Tong talking relaxed, but in fact he was very nervous.
Then he smiled: "Then I'll take him to watch a drama." ”
Wu Tong didn't call her mother, took Meng Fan's hand and walked towards the theater that had been released, greeted the ticket inspector, and sat down in the last corner lightly.
"My mother used to be a drama actress at the Shanghai Drama Theater, she was super beautiful when she was young, and she won many drama awards. Wu Tong was very proud when he talked about his mother, "Later, because of giving birth to my brother, that is, after Wu Ji, his figure began to slowly get rich, and then when he was pregnant with me, he was already quite fat, and after giving birth, he was once fat to 200 pounds." It took three or four years to lose weight, and slowly moved to working as a producer, screenwriter and director behind the scenes. ”
Wu Tong smiled very well, as if recalling: "My mother talked about her previous weight loss, some details I didn't understand very well before, and then I saw you running on the playground, and the picture overlapped with the memory, hehe, I saw my mother's shadow in you." ”
Meng Fan couldn't cry or laugh, and didn't know what to say.
"Half of my childhood memories are related to this place, and at that time, my favorite thing was to run backstage and play......"
Wu Tong whispered about what happened when he was a child, and Meng Fan listened quietly on the side, as for what was going on on the stage, neither of them knew it.
Before the drama was about to end, Wu Tong ended his memories of his childhood, and he rarely mentioned things when he was a child when he chatted with Meng Fan before, but this time he said a lot.
"Let's go, I'm hungry. ”
Wu Tong stood up, took Meng Fan's hand and left the theater: "Take you to eat the best chaos restaurant in Shanghai." ”
During this period, Wu Tong received a call from her mother, apparently learning about Wu Tong taking Meng Fan from a colleague in the theater.
"I'm eating the chaos of Uncle Tao's house. ”
"I just came to Shanghai to hold an art exhibition, and I wanted to watch a drama...... If you have a fate, you will see it, if you don't have a fate, then see you next time. ”
"Why do you have to say it in advance, when the time comes, both sides will be nervous, how boring. ”
“...... Okay, I see. ”
"What about Dad? Oh, okay. ”
“...... Well. ”
"Okay, bye-bye. ”
Wu Tong used Shanghainese dialect to talk to her mother's phone, and Meng Fan could understand most of them.
After ending the call, Wu Tong said to Meng Fan: "My mother asked me to tell you, today is too unfortunate, she just happened to be on a business trip to the imperial capital, and my father was not at home." Knowing that if you came, I would definitely invite you to dinner...... My brother has to say thank you face to face for what happened last time. ”
Meng Fan smiled: "Thank you, thank you, it's all a family, our mother is too polite." ”
"Who's your mother!" Wu Tong rolled his eyes.
Meng Fan said: "You call my mother mother, why can't I call your mother mother?"
Wu Tong couldn't refute: "Then I will also ask my mother to recognize you as my godson." ”
"Is that getting in the way of our relationship?"
“...... Eat quickly. ”
After eating, the two walked slowly for a while, but it was too windy in the evening after the winter in Shanghai, so they could only stop a car.
"Where are you going?"
"I bought Disney tickets, shall we go see the fireworks?"
"Good. ”
Of course, Meng Fan listened to Wu Tong for everything.
After the two entered Disney, they didn't play any projects, so they held hands and walked around. During the process, few people recognized Meng Fan and Wutong, and the two played by themselves, smiling at some friendly greetings.
At half past eight in the evening, fireworks appeared over the fantasy fairy tale castle, and the two found a pretty good position to sit and watch the fireworks.
Wu Tong sat in Meng Fan's arms, looked up at the fireworks, and said with a smile: "Although it is not your birthday yet, you can make a wish now." ”
Meng Fan smiled and made a wish.
"Make a wish to close your eyes. ”
"Oh. ”
Meng Fan promised another one.
Wu Tong asked, "What kind of wish did you make?"
Meng Fan shook his head: "If you say it, it won't work." ”
Wu Tong squinted his eyes and smiled: "Perhaps, some wishes will be spiritual when they are spoken." ”
Meng Fan shook his head even more: "Don't dare to say it." ”
Wu Tong gave a roll of his eyes, and then leaned back a little, leaning very tightly with Meng Fan.
After watching the fireworks, the two walked to Disneytown, played for a while and ate something when they were a little hungry, and then took the ferry to the opposite side, where the Disney Park Hotel was located.
The two naturally walked into the hotel holding hands, at least on the surface, and they probably knew how fast their hearts were beating.
Luckily, there was a vacant room, and it was also a "Beauty and the Beast" themed room.
Open the door.
Close the door.
With a bang, Meng Fan was sure that it was not the sound of the door closing, but the sound of his own heartbeat.
Meng Fan's eyes seemed to be burning and looked at Wu Tong, Wu Tong lowered his head, and when Meng Fan got closer, he suddenly pushed Meng Fan away, and Meng Fan sat on the big bed.
"Wait. ”
Wu Tong's face was red as if it was about to burn, he looked at the time, waited for ten seconds to reach midnight, and the date was on the 25th, Wu Tong took out the prepared birthday gift from his bag and threw it to Meng Fan, not daring to look up: "Happy birthday." ”
Meng Fan took the small box, and was immediately full of pride, and used it up!
