In March, Paris has returned to spring, and the scenery is beautiful, and many cherry trees have already bloomed with pink buds.

The romantic city has a different kind of scenery everywhere, with rivers, buildings, and streets all showing its unique charm.

The city has many other names, the city of art, the city of romance, the city of fashion, the city of flowers, the city of light... Wait a minute.

It seems to deeply penetrate literature and art into every brick and stone, every green leaf, and every bud.

Chen Li'an looked at the scenery outside the car window and was full of anticipation for the city.

"How? Like it here? Ji Fa turned his head to look at Chen Li'an and Bai Qing and asked.

"Well, I think the city is a good fit for me." Chen Li'an rolled down the window and looked at the beautiful scenery and beautiful women on the street and said.

Bai Qing, who had just come out of the airport and had not fully recovered his spirits, did not answer Ji Fa's question.

It's just that he was a little tired and rested on Chen Li'an's shoulder, and he didn't have much interest in the scenery outside.

Returning to his own country and his own city, Ji Fa was very talkative, introducing Chen Li'an to every street and landmark building he passed by.

"There's the Louvre over there, and the artwork inside will amaze you, and hopefully one day your work will be there."

"The cherry blossoms here aren't as beautiful as they are under the Eiffel Tower."

"The Champs-Elysées this season is not as beautiful as autumn......"

Ji Fa deliberately asked the driver to go around in a big circle, just to be able to show the beauty of the city to his friends from China.

After a while, Ji Fa suddenly looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "What do you think of when you think of France first?" ”

"Napoleon..."Chen Li'an said lightly.

Ji Fa was a little surprised, and said helplessly: "You would actually think of a man?" Not romantic at all. ”

Chen Li'an thought for a while, and another word came to his mind.

French Rose!

In the nineties, no one could ignore this delicate rose.

Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa, who was a little speechless, and said, "Okay, I'll change it, French Rose." ”

Ji Fa was stunned for a moment when he heard it and asked, "Empress Josephine or Sophie Marceau?" ”

"Sophie Marceau, of course, she is a woman who can unify the aesthetics of the East and the West." Chen Li'an replied, very curious about this rose.

Pull a random person in China and ask him which French star he knows, and 90% of them will answer Sophie Marceau.

The photo of Sophie Marceau in the popular film magazine in the 80s, she is pure and beautiful, and she directly became the goddess in the hearts of countless men.

Ji Fa was not surprised that Chen Li'an was talking about Sophie Marceau, but he just turned his head to look at Bai Qing, who was pretending to sleep, and asked with a wicked smile: "Aren't you afraid that Bai Qing will be jealous?" ”

"Of course not." Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa, who was deliberately provoking trouble, and said angrily: "Everyone has their favorite stars, this is normal." ”

"I didn't..."Bai Qing leaned on Chen Li'an's shoulder and said with his eyes closed.

Chen Li'an: "......"

"Haha... Me neither! Ji Fa laughed along, looking at Chen Li'an's somewhat embarrassed face, he couldn't help but pat his head and said, "Never say that you like other women in front of a woman." ”

"You guys are so boring, I just like Sophie Marceau in the movie, and she has nothing to do with herself." Chen Li'an turned his head and didn't bother to deal with the two women who deliberately embarrassed him.

Ji Fa hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and whispered: "I hope you can still be so confident in two days." ”

Chen Li'an didn't hear what Ji Fa said clearly, turned his head and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"Nothing." Ji Fa smiled, then looked out the car window and said, "We're here." ”

"Why don't you go to the hotel?" Chen Li'an looked at the villa in front of him and asked.

"It's too much trouble to stay in a hotel." Ji Fa took the luggage from the driver and said, "If we live together, I don't have to pick you up every day." ”

Bai Qing also carried a suitcase, and said sleepily, "You can live anywhere, I just want to sleep well now, can you take me to the room to rest." ”

The intense work for more than ten days in a row exhausted all Bai Qing's spirit, and she just wanted to sleep well for a few days now.

Chen Li'an took the initiative to take the box in Bai Qing and Ji Fa's hands, and said to Ji Fa: "Okay, let me see how your house is." ”

"Promise not to disappoint!" After Ji Fa finished smiling, he ran to open the door, pushed the door open, turned to Chen Li'an and Bai Qing and said, "You are welcome to come as guests, and when the exhibition is over, you can go to my winery for a vacation." ”

is really a rich woman, and even has her own winery, Chen Li'an has a new understanding of Ji Fa's financial resources.

"You seem surprised?" After leading Chen Li'an in, Ji Fa said with a smile: "It's normal to have a winery in France, and it's just a small winery. ”

Normal, you're a ghost...... It's like Chen Li'an said that it is normal for people in Beijing to have several sets of courtyard houses.

"After the exhibition, we went to play together, just west of Bordeaux." Speaking of this, Ji Fa said helplessly: "The wine merchants of Bordeaux often denigrate the wine there, but in fact the wine there is very good. ”

"It's normal to do business." Chen Li'an said lightly.

"Maybe you can talk later, and tell me where the bedroom is." Bai Qing, who was following behind, couldn't help but interrupt.

Ji Fa hurriedly smiled and said, "I'll take you there now." ”

Waiting for Ji Fa and Bai Qing to go upstairs, Chen Li'an took a serious look at Ji Fa's home, and the room was full of decorative artworks.

Oil paintings of various styles hung on the walls, ornaments next to sofas were sculptures, and Chen Li'an saw Chinese porcelain in a corridor, and several blue and white plates were hung on the wall as pendants.

What makes Chen Li'an feel the most amazing is that there are so many decorations of different styles, but they are very well integrated by Ji Fa, without any sense of separation.

Ji Fa's artistic aesthetic is really amazing! He is worthy of being an art manager.

You can't be an art manager without a certain degree of artistic accomplishment, and Ji Fa's professionalism in art has been certified in these decorations.

As for the commercial operation, it will be interesting to see if the exhibition can be successful in a few days.

Chen Li'an is looking forward to this, and he also wants his works to be recognized by more people.

All art creators want others to understand their work, and Chen Li'an is no exception.

It's just that there are many arts that are not accepted and understood in contemporary times, and they are too advanced or the development of social civilization restricts everyone's imagination and aesthetics.

Just like abstract works in the Middle Ages, no one would be able to understand and accept them.

Van Gogh was not understood at that time, art also needs a certain context, and there is no way to understand it if there is too much detachment, after all, there is only one Van Gogh.

It is difficult to evaluate the quality of art, it is too high and low, but the food is not, and the people of the French food world are still relatively recognized.

The most important thing is that there are many choices of main dishes for French food, and they are about to catch up with a province in China, which makes Chen Li'an a little entangled in what to eat for a while.

Bai Qing, who slept all afternoon, now has a good appetite, and quickly ordered what he wanted to eat with the menu, and Ji Fa did the same and skillfully ordered the dishes he wanted to eat without reading the menu.

Chen Li'an also made a choice after a little struggle, choosing smoked salmon and creamy bisque for the starter, duck breast and fried foie gras for the main course, and French bretti for the final dessert.

According to the habit of French food, it is estimated that it will take an hour to finish these dishes, and sometimes it is not good to be too particular.

For Chen Li'an, there is no difference between eating a meal for so long and not eating it, and such a slow speed is not as fast as he digests.

After eating the last dessert, Chen Li'an wiped his mouth and said, "French food is not suitable for me. ”

Ji Fa looked at the plate that was eaten clean by Chen Li'an, and said with a blank look: "That's not what your stomach says. ”

"No, you misunderstood what I meant, today's dishes are delicious." Chen Li'an touched his stomach as he said and said, "It's just too slow, I'm not full and hungry." ”

Ji Fa: "." It's not romantic at all! Let's go back and eat stew!

"Haha. I knew you wouldn't have enough to eat. Bai Qing pushed the macarons in front of him that had not yet eaten in front of him and said, "Eat." ”

Chen Li'an looked at the macarons with fresh colors and appetite, shook his head and said, "I don't want to eat so many sweets." ”

"Okay." Bai Qing took the macarons back and ate them by himself, no longer caring about Chen Li'an's life or death.

Ji Fa shook his head and said, "I'll beat you to eat something else later, you should order one more main course." ”

"I don't have experience this time, but next time it's fine." Chen Li'an didn't expect that the portion of authentic French food main course would be so small.

After eating French food, they naturally want to see the beautiful scenery here, but Chen Li'an and his team are too busy now, and the preparatory work for the exhibition has not yet been completed, so they don't have so much time to see the scenery.

Just after eating, I went to admire the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe at night, and then went home to get ready for a night's rest, and the official start of work tomorrow.

The exhibition was held in the Cultural Center Hall of the Centre Pompidou, which was the first time Chen Li'an had been here, and he was very curious about this prestigious modern art center, and he wanted to leave his work behind to see this art center like a factory.

Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an and wanted to go out again, and hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Can you finish your own things first!" It's going to start the day after tomorrow! ”

In the exhibition hall, the workers are installing the shelves according to Chen Li'an's requirements, and Chen Li'an's role here is to supervise the work, so he almost wears a white hard hat.

Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa and said: "Now that the workers are installing, there is no need for me to watch all the time, I will come back when I go to see it, at most an hour!" ”

"No way!" Ji Fa immediately refused: "This exhibition is very important!" There can't be any sloppiness, and you are not allowed to go anywhere until the exhibition is over. ”

Seeing that the managers were furious, Chen Li'an could only accept his fate, take on his responsibility, and began to patrol the exhibition hall to know that the workers had installed various devices.

"This mirror is a little further to the left." Chen Li'an stood in the exhibition hall and said to the workers.

Ji Fa also immediately acted as a translator to translate Chen Li'an's words, most of these workers only know French, and Chen Li'an does not know French.

It's really troublesome, why can't the whole world speak Chinese!

After a busy day in the exhibition hall, at six o'clock in the evening, the installation in the exhibition hall was only half completed.

Looking at the workers who packed up their things and left on time, Chen Li'an couldn't tell for a while whether he was in a capitalist society or .

Well, that's great, it means that Chen Li'an can also get off work, and the Pompidou retreat is at 9 p.m., just in time to come back after dinner.

Chen Li'an turned his head to look at Ji Fa and said, "Can I go to visit now?" ”

Ji Fa, who had been busy all day, waved his hand to Chen Li'an a little tiredly and said, "You go, I want to go back to have a good meal, and then sleep well, I really envy Bai Qing to rest at home." ”

"Okay!" Chen Li'an immediately went to visit the art museum happily.

The architecture of the Centre Pompidou is characteristic, especially at night, when it is lit up like a sprawling chemical factory building tangled in colourful pipes and steel bars.

Chen Li'an walked in the long transparent passage, looking at this art palace that combines technology and art, and his feelings were very complicated, when will there be such an art center in China, not the kind of art center used for commerce like 798.

There are many works of art here, and what Chen Li'an likes the most is Picasso's "Muse", and the person who painted it is also his muse.

It's just that Picasso's muses are too abstract and three-dimensional, and most people can't appreciate this kind of beauty, Chen Li'an didn't like Picasso's paintings at first, but later he thought more and more about art, and he liked Picasso's paintings more and more.

The painting is the artist's emotional expression, Chen Li'an looked at this painting for a long time, and really felt Picasso's mood at that time, the joy and excitement with a trace of calmness and restraint.

At this time, Picasso was thinking about how he should educate his child after he was born

Chen Li'an watched it for a while and then left, and if he watched it for too long, it would be affected.

Every artist has their own style and artistic expression, and it would be terrible to be influenced by other people.

After coming out of the "chemical factory", Chen Li'an found a restaurant casually, without worrying about dining etiquette and image, and had a very comfortable meal, the roast duck is very good, and the grilled fish is also great!

The next day, Chen Li'an was not so leisurely, the installation had not yet been arranged, and all the works had to be arranged in advance today, even if the workers got off work after six o'clock, Chen Li'an was not able to go to other places to shop.

After working until more than nine o'clock in the evening, after putting all the works in place, Chen Li'an checked it twice before he was relieved.

"It's finally done!"

Chen Li'an feels that arranging the exhibition hall is more tiring than painting, and he must find a professional curator in the future.

Ji Fa looked at the fully arranged exhibition hall and looked at the hanging paintings, and couldn't help but feel trembling in his heart, the impact and appeal of the paintings blessed by the installation were stronger.

"Li'an, you are really a genius, you will definitely become the next Picasso!"

Chen Li'an glanced at the unmanned exhibition hall, couldn't help but light a cigarette and said: "Why do you want to be Picasso, Chen Li'an is Chen Li'an!" ”
