In the extremely dimly lit darkroom, there are many photos on strings, and the water droplets continue to drip under the red light.

Chen Li'an lowered his head and gently shook a photo in the clear water with a clip, showing a woman in a skirt sitting in a small, messy room applying lipstick.

After washing and hanging up this photo, Chen Li'an took off his gloves and moved his sore neck.

This darkroom is a photo studio, much bigger than Ma Xiaoqing, and it can be stretched, but Chen Li'an has a lot of photos to wash, and his neck is still sore after working for so long.

In the hall of the photo studio, Bai Qing and Ji Fa sat together lit cigarettes and chatted, until Chen Li'an came out of the dark room, and then turned his head and stopped chatting.

Bai Qing saw Chen Li'an come out and immediately extinguished the cigarette in his hand, Chen Li'an always asked her to smoke less, it was not too blatant.

"Washed?" Ji Fa pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, glanced at the watch with broken diamonds on his wrist and asked, "Why is it so long, there are many works this time?" ”

"Well, there are more than three hundred of them in this section." Chen Li'an walked over and smelled the faint smell of smoke, and also lit a cigarette and took a hard puff.

Bai Qing looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "So much?" Aren't you just halfway done? ”

"This work needs to be put together, and you'll know when the photos are dry." Chen Li'an explained, then turned his head to look at the boss of the photo studio and asked, "What is the size of your largest photo frame here?" ”

The owner of the photo studio is a woman about thirty years old, with curly hair and a good look, after hearing Chen Li'an's question, she turned her head and said: "40*60, if you are older, you will have to go to the painting material store to buy a frame." ”

Chen Li'an nodded when he heard the words and said, "Please give me four." ”

"Okay, wait a minute." The proprietress is a cool character, and she turned around and went to get the photo frame.

Chen Li'an smoked a cigarette and looked at the photos hanging in the studio, most of which were wedding photos or bare-bottomed babies.

No one will come to take a photo this year, most of them will come to take a photo on important days, such as marriage, first birthday, etc.

Now that the price of cameras has become cheaper, many people have begun to take pictures in the countryside with horses or camels.

The most popular thing in this year is to let the half-sized son ride on a horse, wear an ill-fitting military uniform, and wear a military hat with a large circle to take a vigorous photo.

Little girls are often much more treated, painting their faces red, putting red dots on their small mouths and red eyebrows, and finally putting on a white or pink gauze skirt.

The shooting conditions in the photo studio are better than those of the people in the countryside, and there are various backgrounds to switch and more clothes to change.

Chen Li'an looked at the photos on the wall, and still admired the skills of the beautiful proprietress very much, and every photo could see a strong sense of joy.

This is not easy, most people don't know how to pose when taking pictures, they can't let go of it in front of the camera, if you want to take good photos, the guidance of the photographer is very important, and you must be able to seize the opportunity.

At this point, Chen Li'an feels that he is doing a good job, and if he has nothing to eat in the future, he can also open a photo studio.

"How long will it take for your photos to be ready?"

Ji Fa was very curious about Chen Li'an's work this time, and wanted to know what kind of effect hundreds of photos would look like when combined.

Chen Li'an turned his head and estimated the time and said, "It will dry in about half an hour." ”

In fact, Chen Li'an has some regrets about this work.

Today's computers aren't advanced enough to allow more photos to be arranged and combined at the pixel level.

The restrictions of the times are no different......

Half an hour later, Chen Li'an took out all the developed photos and began to arrange and combine them in order.

Bai Qing and the three of them gathered around and watched Chen Li'an put together a photo, and there was no special feeling at first, but they felt that each one was very beautiful.

The proprietress of the photo studio watched from the side, and at first she thought that Chen Li'an was playing tricks.

Each photo looks unremarkable, the people in it don't laugh or cry, and there is no emotion at all on their expressionless faces.

But as more and more photos were put together, the look of surprise on his face became more and more obvious.

Why do ordinary photos combine to form a new one?

A big question mark popped up in the head of the proprietress that she felt that she thought she was proficient in photography, as if she had not yet started!

The same photographer, why is there such a big gap, not only the gap in skills, but also the gap in creativity and conception is the real gap.

Chen Li'an, who pasted the photos, looked attentive, and every ordinary photo seemed to be endowed with magic after blending into the gray public housing building.

When dozens or hundreds of photos were grouped together, Ji Fa, who had been silent beside him, finally couldn't help but get excited, his blue eyes seemed to be ignited, and he looked at Chen Li'an with a burning gaze.

Originally, I thought I had dug up a piece of gold, but now after seeing Chen Li'an's photo, Ji Fa felt that he had dug up a gem covered in dust, as long as he gently brushed off the dust on it, it would emit a dazzling light, stabbing people unable to open their eyes.

From Chen Li'an's oil painting to Bai Qing to the works of the film exhibition, and now with this unfinished work, Ji Fa was surprised to find that Chen Li'an's thinking and vision are very broad.

There will always be something different, not just one thing like other artists.

If it's just a lot and miscellaneous, then Ji Fa will only scoff at it, but Chen Li'an is different, every one of his ideas is novel enough and can be perfectly expressed.

It's amazing how talented and talented people were last so powerful was centuries ago.

"Chen Li'an! You're a genius. Ji Fa excitedly grabbed Chen Li'an's arm, feeling like he had grabbed a gold mine.

Chen Li'an glanced at the excited Ji Fa and knew what she was thinking, definitely thinking about how to sell herself for money, no, she was selling her works for money.

"It's a really great idea, an extension of the mosaic and mosaic style." Bai Qing couldn't help but speak: "This form breaks through the traditional photography mode, and recombines the gray, white, light and color of different photos into a new painting, and the photo is like a paintbrush and paint in your hands." ”

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows and said: "The inspiration is indeed mosaic and mosaic style, but it is a pity that the developed photos are still too large, if they can be a little smaller, they can make the picture more detailed." ”

Bai Qing looked at the new photo and thought for a while and shook his head and said: "I think that's not good, now it's a new picture that is combined like this, but if you look closely, it will be an independent individual, and if it is too detailed, it will lose the connotation of the work itself." ”

Chen Li'an also knew this problem, but he didn't explain to Bai Qing what he meant, he wanted to make electronic photos, so that he could zoom in and out at will, and would not affect each individual photo.

Many modern art developments can find their roots a long time ago, just like mosaics, the earliest precursors of mosaics, artists used a combination of stones and shells to complete a painting thousands of years ago.

However, with the advent of oil painting, the mosaic style was eliminated for a time, and the mosaic painting was too rough and not as delicate as the oil painting.

But in two years, with the development of the Internet, the advent of video games and graphics, mosaic will return to the mainstream.

As for the reason for the resurgence of popularity into the public eye, one is that the resolution of video games is too low, forming a unique pixel style.

Another reason is that because pictures can be posted on the Internet in the graphic era, the old critics want to post astringent pictures in the chat room, but they are too exposed and can't do it, so a company in the ninety-six years of the day thought of mosaic.

Since then, the mosaic has been inseparable from Cersei

Chen Li'an's idea was common in later generations, but it is still very novel now, a small step ahead.

After a few photos were stitched, Chen Li'an was about to put them away, and the beautiful proprietress next to him couldn't help but ask: "That, can I imitate your style?" ”

"Absolutely." Chen Li'an turned his head to look at the proprietress with curly hair, and said with a smile: "This is not an exclusive patent, anyone can use it." ”

"Can I learn photography from you?" The beautiful proprietress asked again, looking at Chen Li'an with some hope.

Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment and said: "Your skills are very good, you don't need to learn from me, what you lack is inspiration, I can't teach you this." ”

Photography is not difficult, after mastering the basic skills, it is more about personal talent, just like painting, students who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts can master the painting skills proficiently, but the reason why you can really become a master is not your skills.

Just like the painters' village in Guangzhou, the whole village is full of imitation masters, who can skillfully copy the works of the masters, and the excellent ones can even be reproduced one by one, but they can't become masters.

When the beautiful proprietress heard Chen Li'an's words, the light in her eyes dimmed a lot, and she sighed and said: "I've been playing photography for almost ten years, look at your age is only in your early twenties, you're right, there are some things that can't be taught." ”

The depression of the beautiful proprietress is the common depression of most painters and photographers, everyone wants to become a genius and become a master, but without that one percent of talent, it will never be surmountable.

Ji Fa has a deep feeling for the disappointment of the beautiful proprietress who also wanted to become a master and an artist, but in the end she could only inherit the family gallery and become an art dealer.

Looking at the beautiful face of the beautiful proprietress , Ji Fa walked over and hugged her gently and said, "Don't be disappointed, dear, you are already great." ”

The beautiful proprietress was stunned, she couldn't understand what Ji Fa said, her accent was so strange that people who were not familiar with it couldn't understand it at all, but she subconsciously responded to Ji Fa.

Ji Fa turned his head to Chen Li'an at this time and said, "Help me translate." ”

Chen Li'an looked at this scene, doubting what Ji Fa wanted to do to the proprietress, and was very entangled in whether he wanted to help the abuse.

"Boss, Ji Fa said don't be disappointed, you're already great." Bai Qing didn't have so many ideas, and took the initiative to help Ji Fa translate.

Chen Li'an couldn't help but look away, he couldn't bear to look at this scene, put away his photos, pulled Bai Qing and left, leaving the poor proprietress to face Ji Fa alone.

Bai Qing, who was pulled out by Chen Li'an, looked at Chen Li'an with some puzzlement and asked, "What's wrong?" Why don't you wait for Ji Fa? ”

"Don't you know about Himefa?" Chen Li'an turned his head to look at Bai Qing and asked.

Bai Qing shook his head ignorantly, not understanding what Chen Li'an was talking about.

The corners of Chen Li'an's mouth twitched, he thought Bai Qing knew, but he didn't expect her to know nothing, so he gossiped and explained Ji Fa's glorious deeds.

Bai Qing was stunned after hearing this, and suddenly remembered that Ji Fa had been too intimate with her several times, and she also pulled her to drink together and sleep together at night, she didn't take it to heart but thought that foreigners were more enthusiastic, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

Chen Li'an looked at Bai Qing's strange expression, and a bad premonition rose in his heart, grabbed her hand and asked, "Ji Fa won't treat you."

"Nope!" Bai Qing hurriedly said, and then slapped Chen Li'an with some annoyance and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!" ”

"I thought you knew."

Now you know. Bai Qing muttered in his heart, warning himself in his heart never to drink with Ji Fa again in the future!

Can't be taken advantage of! Neither can girls!

This world is too dangerous, and those who covet you may not be of the opposite sex.

Chen Li'an didn't know the story of the beautiful proprietress and Ji Fa, but he only knew that he didn't get through when he called Ji Fa that night, and Ji Fa didn't come back to him until the afternoon of the next day.

"Did you get it?" Chen Li'an couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What are you talking about, I don't understand, we're just talking about each other's frustrated lives." Ji Fa pretended not to understand, and changed the topic and asked, "Where are you now, I'll go look for you." ”

Got it! Definitely a success! As soon as Chen Li'an heard Ji Fa's scumbag quotations, he understood, and admired Ji Fa's toughness in his heart.

This woman is too dangerous! In the future, you must let Bai Qing be careful.

At night, in the lively Maxim's restaurant, Ji Fa was radiant and cut the steak, chattering about his plans for Chen Li'an and Bai Qing in the future.

"Since you have decided to be a two-person artist, then you must also participate in your work this time." Ji Fa picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, and then continued: "How to make your own thoughts, when this work is completed, plus that Jiangnan-themed work, I can open an exhibition for you." ”

Bai Qing frowned and said, "But I don't know how to take pictures, so I can't participate." ”

"It's okay, you can participate in other forms, it's good if you can't name it." Ji Fa said nonchalantly.

"But."

Bai Qing was about to continue, Chen Li'an took her hand, and then said: "Photography is only a part of this work, not the most important, the arrangement and combination is the key, your understanding of composition and color can help me complete the most critical step." ”

Bai Qing pursed his lips and nodded after a while, already thinking about how to help Chen Li'an complete the other half of his work.

After seeing Bai Qing's agreement, Ji Fa nodded with a smile, she liked Chen Li'an's flexibility very much, so she smiled and picked up the cup and said, "Then I wish us to become famous in Europe next year!" ”

Bite~

The crisp sound of the three wine glasses colliding together reverberates silently in the noisy restaurant and will eventually become a loud bang in the future.

Chen Li'an is not in a hurry to create a new work, and he has no time to go to Xiangjiang now, and it will take a lot of time to complete a painting with a Jiangnan theme.

Ji Fa's plan to hold an exhibition also needs to be well planned, and holding an exhibition in Leng Buding will not have much effect, and she also needs time to package and market.

A large part of the value of modern artwork comes from the packaging and marketing of art managers, and a painting worth 10,000 yuan may become hundreds or even tens of millions after packaging and marketing.

There are a lot of things involved, and although Ji Fa is experienced, it is impossible to increase the value of Chen Li'an and Bai Qing by opening a random exhibition.

It is also necessary to find someone to advocate and find someone to carry out the transaction behind the scenes, and connections and capital are indispensable.

Art requires not only talent, but also packaging.

Ji Fa plans to return to Europe after Christmas to prepare in advance, waiting for Chen Li'an and Bai Qing to complete their work in February next year.

After coming out of Maxim, Ji Fa waved goodbye to Chen Li'an and them, and looked like he was in a hurry to find a beautiful proprietress at a glance!

Bai Qing looked at the taxi and said helplessly: "I don't even know how to face Ji Fa now." ”

"Just treat it normally, didn't Ji Fa do anything out of the ordinary." Chen Li'an said after a sigh of relief: "Ji Fa is a very shrewd woman, who seems to act uninhibited, but is actually very rational. ”

Chen Li'an and Bai Qing will be important partners of Ji Fa in the future, she will not mess around so unwisely, not to mention that Chen Li'an is still guarding against her.

Bai Qing walked beside Chen Li'an with his hands behind his back, sighed and said, "I might as well not know." ”

"Don't think about it so much, just don't know."

"yes, got it."

With Chen Li'an by his side, Bai Qing was actually not so worried, but he refreshed his cognition of Ji Fa for a while and was a little unaccustomed.

Chen Li'an glanced up at the not-so-bright moon in the night sky, turned his head to look at Bai Qing and asked, "Where do you live now?" I'll send you back. ”

Hearing this question, Bai Qing's expression was stunned, and he couldn't help but use his strength slightly when he grabbed Chen Li'an's hand.

"You don't want me to live with you?" Bai Qing raised his head and looked at Chen Li'an and asked.

Chen Li'an was silent for a while and said, "I'm not used to it, I'm used to being free alone." ”

Although he knew that he would not be so smooth with Chen Li'an, Bai Qing still couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart, let go of Chen Li'an's hand and said lightly: "I know, you are still so cold-blooded." ”

The topic just now made the atmosphere between the two silent, and until they returned to Chen Li'an's house, the two remained silent.

Bai Qing looked at the clothes he threw on Chen Li'an's bed, silently picked them up and prepared to put them in the box, but after folding them twice, he couldn't help but throw them on the bed.

"Chen Li'an, your uncle!" Bai Qing turned around and looked at Chen Li'an and scolded angrily.

As soon as Chen Li'an wanted to speak, he was grabbed by Bai Qing by the collar and dragged over, and pushed him down on the bed with a strong push with his little hand.

"Undress!" Bai Qing looked at Chen Li'an and ordered: "Otherwise, this matter will not be over today!" ”

Chen Li'an opened his mouth, didn't say the last word, sat up and obediently took off his clothes, showing that he not only had a cold-blooded side, but also a hot body.

First update a chapter of five thousand, and there is another chapter that will be updated. Speaking of which, the time I update is all at night, and there is no time to code words at work during the day, so everyone has been waiting for a long time. Sorry......
