72. The art gathering place of the capital (ask for follow-up)
"Hey, who's that?"
"Are you Chen Li'an?"
"I'm Chen Li'an, who are you?"
In the phone booth at the entrance of the courtyard, Chen Li'an was a little strange who called him so late.
Listening to the voice, you can't tell who it is at all. It shouldn't be someone I know.
After confirming Chen Li'an's identity on the other end of the phone, he was silent for some reason.
It's just that the breathing sound from the earpiece told Chen Li'an that the person opposite was still there, so he didn't hang up the phone.
In the quiet night, Chen Li'an felt a little cold in his hands and feet, so he couldn't help urging: "Who are you, what are you looking for me?" ”
Chen Li'an's urging did not have any effect, and the other end of the phone was as silent as death.
If it weren't for the sound of breathing, Chen Li'an would have wondered if someone was playing a prank.
"Who the hell are you? Don't talk I'm hanging. ”
“……”
In response to Chen Li'an, there was a long silence, he raised his head to look at the snowflakes falling slowly in the sky, and hung up directly without waiting for the other side to reply.
"Nerves, don't talk when you call!" Chen Li'an rubbed his hands, and hurriedly ran home while the snow had not yet fallen.
In another phone booth in the capital, a graceful woman chuckled at the corner of her mouth, slowly hung up the phone and prepared to call another one tomorrow night.
I'm still in a hurry tonight, and tomorrow I'll think of another one with a good rhetoric, and the creature of the artist can't be simple and direct! It is the mysterious that he will remember.
In the soft light of the street lamp, a pair of slender and straight legs jumped briskly, leaving a faint footprint on the road that had just been covered with a layer of snowflakes.
In the bright room, Chen Li'an uncovered the hot towel on his face and stretched comfortably.
"Whew... Comfortable. ”
The phone call just now didn't arouse any curiosity on his part, and he has been more neurotic these years, since he took the initiative to call, there will definitely be a next time.
After washing, Chen Li'an, with a hint of tiredness, comfortably got into the quilt and fell asleep deeply.
Early the next morning, after Chen Li'an got up, he went to call Gong Li, asked her to have dinner with him at noon, and asked her to investigate Ji Fa with her connections in Europe.
This girl looks good, maybe there is some strange person behind it, otherwise how could Gilbert and George look at themselves with such complicated eyes.
The film festival in the morning went on normally, and Chen Li'an ran away after he was busy, and he didn't notice that there was a girl behind him calling his name.
Xu Jinglei looked at the back of Chen Li'an leaving, and sighed helplessly, feeling that today was in vain, and she wasted a few yuan in tickets.
On the lively Wangfujing Street, Chen Li'an glanced at the time on the bell tower, and it was still early for him and Gong Li to agree, so he went to buy a mobile phone first.
However, Chen Li'an only has more than 4,000 yuan, and after buying a mobile phone and applying for a calling card, there are more than 400 yuan left, and it is enough to invite Gong Li to a meal.
It's not enough, and I borrowed more than a thousand pounds from Jifa yesterday.
Chen Li'an fiddled with the new mobile phone in his hand and saved the few numbers he remembered, but it was also troublesome to not be able to enter in Chinese, so he could only use English instead.
After saving a few numbers, Chen Li'an dialed Gong Li.
"Hello? Who is it. Gong Li's voice was a little lazy, as if she had just gotten up not long ago.
Chen Li'an glanced at the time on the bell tower, it was already eleven o'clock, did he get up, female stars who don't have a job are really lazy.
"It's me, Chen Li'an, you just got up now?"
Gong Li, who had just gotten up at home, was a little surprised by Chen Li'an's phone, and asked curiously, "Your newly bought mobile phone?" I just got up. ”
"Well, here's my number, you write it down, you hurry up and pack it up, I'm waiting for you in Maxim." Chen Li'an said helplessly.
Gong Li snorted, and then said quickly: "I'll be there in half an hour, you go and wait for me first." ”
After hanging up the phone, Chen Li'an stopped a car and went to Maxim.
Maxim's decoration is very good, the artistic atmosphere is still very strong, there are often a lot of artists gathered here, and a group of rock and roll people.
It is a favorite place for domestic artists, and even though it is not the time when most artists hang out during the day, there are still many foreign artists in the restaurant who gather to discuss art.
Chen Li'an had heard their names a few times, but instead of joining the group, he asked the waiter to choose a quiet booth for him.
The red leather seats of the booth are not bad, and Chen Li'an is comfortably nestled in the sofa, holding the magazine he just held casually.
"You're Chen Li'an, right?" A gentle voice suddenly appeared next to Chen Li'an's booth.
Chen Li'an put down the magazine in his hand, looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him who was dressed fashionably and tied with braids, nodded and asked, "Do you know me?" ”
"Yes." Song Huaigui looked at Chen Li'an and asked with a smile, "Can I sit down?" ”
Chen Li'an nodded and said, "Of course, but I invited a friend to dinner, and it may be ...... later."
"I know, you invited Gong Li." Song Huaigui smiled indifferently and explained: "I am Song Huaigui, Maxim's manager, and I am very good friends with Gong Li. ”
Chen Li'an suddenly nodded, looked at the woman in front of him, and didn't know what was going on with her coming.
Song Huaigui glanced at Chen Li'an a few times, and there was a lot of appreciation in his eyes, thinking that his figure was very good, and his appearance was also very handsome.
Facing Song Huaizhui's gaze, Chen Li'an was a little puzzled, how could this look be a bit like an X-ray.
As if to see Chen Li'an's puzzlement, Song Huaigui said with a smile, "I went to see your film festival, very good works, and such works are rare in Europe, so come and get to know you, I am also a painter." ”
Chen Li'an knew that Song Huaihui was very famous in the domestic art circle, and he also established the first model team in China, and she and her husband were the first foreign-related marriage in China.
Song Huaigui was very talkative, and continued without waiting for Chen Li'an to reply: "Gong Li told me about you, I really didn't expect her to break up with Zhang Yimu for you. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Li'an immediately sat up straight and explained seriously: "It has nothing to do with me that she broke up with Zhang Yimu, and I am just friends with her." ”
"Haha, that's what I'm saying now." Song Huaigui laughed and said, "That's what Jiang Wen said last time he came over. ”
Chen Li'an: "......" Jiang Wen is so gossipy!
Seeing Chen Li'an's somewhat speechless appearance, Song Huaigui laughed enough and put away his teasing thoughts, glanced at his watch and said, "Gong Li should be almost there, are you looking for her to ask about the art manager." ”
Chen Li'an was really a little speechless, how could Gong Li say anything, but thinking that Song Huaigui was doing well in the foreign art world, he nodded and said, "Yes, do you know this aspect?" ”
"Fairly understood." Song Huaigui nodded, and her black braids swayed, and the woman in her fifties looked quite young.
"I may know who your art manager is."
Chen Li'an: "Jifa Carey is a Frenchman, do you know him?" ”
After listening to Chen Li'an's words, Song Huaigui was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Chen Li'an with a playful expression and coughed lightly and said, "I know, but I don't recommend you to choose her." ”
Not recommended? Ji Fa, this girl is really wrong? Chen Li'an felt that Ji Fa was quite normal.
Seeing Chen Li'an's doubts, Song Huaigui explained: "Actually, she is a very good manager, but she has not been very good in the past few years since she inherited the gallery. ”
"That's not the real reason, is it?" Chen Li'an was puzzled after listening to Song Huaigui's explanation, and felt that there was something else behind this.
Song Huaigui hesitated for a moment and said: "Her reputation is not very good, and it happens with many artists... I've been in love, and it's bisexual. ”
Ji Fa is still a big player? And it's a super big player? Chen Li'an instantly felt that he... No, it's a little dangerous for both herself and Bai Qing, this girl won't be the idea of beating herself and Bai Qing at the same time!
