112. Responsibilities of Ji Fa

Paris is really beautiful and enthusiastic, Chen Li'an has been here for a few days, and last night was the deepest feeling.

French roses are really delicate and moving, but the flowering period of roses is very short, and people like Chen Li'an, who are greedy for beauty, always spend time waiting for it to bloom again if they want to enjoy it.

But compared to the intoxicating rose, it was all worth the wait.

Of course, just appreciating it is not enough, Chen Li'an also has to record this beauty.

Sophie Marceau, who was wearing a red dress, sat on the sofa, looking at Chen Li'an, who had become pious and focused again, and couldn't help but say that word in her heart. The contrast is really contrasting!

Why do men who seem conservative become so after drinking. Romantic and passionate!

Sophie Marceau thought that she should take the initiative last night, but who would have thought that in the end, she could only let him rain and blow away like a rose destroyed by a rainstorm.

But last night was really wonderful and you can't help but be fascinated and look forward to the next time.

Chen Li'an doesn't know what Sophie Marceau is thinking, all his thoughts are on the picture now, on the brush in his hand, he is a very focused person, and he puts 100% energy into what he should do.

The painted Sophie Marceau on the canvas has a hint of sorrow and thought in her eyebrows, but a long red dress looks particularly powerful against the gray-blue background, like a ruby that no one can touch.

Chen Li'an has spent seven or eight hours on this painting, and Sophie Marceau has rested several times, but Chen Li'an has been sitting in front of the easel and has never left.

At the end of the painting, the role of the model can be ignored, and Sophie Marceau doesn't have to sit there all the time, but every time she rests, she will sit back again, so that Chen Li'an can not only see herself, but also watch him paint seriously.

Beauty is appreciated by each other.

In the evening, Chen Li'an looked at the painting in front of him, finally put down the brush, and couldn't help but stretch.

It took more than ten hours to finish the painting, and there is still a big gap between myself and Picasso!

"Finished?" Sophie Marceau got up from the sofa and walked to Chen Li'an's side to look at the painting that had been painted, with thought in her eyes, looking at herself in silence in the painting.

At this moment, she felt very strange, she had a delicate beauty in the painting, and the red dress on her body was particularly attractive like a deadly poppy, but the bright red color was holy compared to the whole gray-blue background.

In particular, the distorted lines in the gray-blue background are like a magic grasp that pulls people into the abyss, and they want to pull themselves down to hell but can't bear to touch themselves.

"Do you like it?" Chen Li'an looked at the pensive Sophie Marceau and asked.

Sophie Marceau, as if completely attracted by the painting, did not answer Chen Li'an's question.

No answer is the best answer, Chen Li'an didn't care about Sophie Marceau's state, touched his empty stomach, and felt that he was hungry now, so he turned around to look for something to eat.

What a surprise that Sophie Marceau's bread at home is not a baguette! It's a fluffy and delicious macaron.

Chen Li'an took a piece of pink macaron and put it in his mouth, it was fragrant, soft and very delicious.

After eating several in one go, Chen Li'an felt that his stomach was not so uncomfortable, and he turned his head to look at Sophie Marceau, only to find that she was still looking at the painting there, as if she had been immobilized by a spell.

Tang Seng didn't read the Buddhist scriptures so seriously

Chen Li'an feels very satisfied with the piety and devotion of this young French literary woman, and it is always a happy thing to be appreciated.

How many people can achieve the realm of not liking things and not being sad about themselves.

Human beings are emotional creatures, they all need to be affirmed and appreciated, and there is no shame in facing their desires and desires.

But it's not too early now, and the call records on the phone are reminding Chen Li'an that he should leave.

Although Chen Li'an didn't want to disturb Sophie Marceau, he still said to her loudly: "Sophie, I'm leaving, Ji Fa has urged me several times." ”

Sophie Marceau was awakened by Chen Li'an's voice, stood up, looked at him with complicated eyes, and said, "Okay." ”

"Goodbye!" Chen Li'an waved his hand at Sophie Marceau, turned around and left, without parting hugs and warmth.

Seeing that Chen Li'an's back was about to disappear at the door, Sophie Marceau suddenly ran over and shouted, "When are you leaving Paris?" ”

Chen Li'an, who had just pushed the door open, turned his head to look at her and said, "Next month." ”

"Then can you paint another picture?" Sophie Marceau held the front with one hand and looked at Chen Li'an with some expectation.

In the face of Sophie Marceau's request, Chen Li'an was a little entangled, he didn't like to repeat, he didn't want to draw a person many times.

After being silent for a while, Chen Li'an shook his head, and just as he wanted to say no, Sophie Marceau said quickly: "I know you don't like to repeat, so I will show another side of me, which will surprise you." ”

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard this, thought for a while and said, "Okay, wait until I'm done with this time." ”

After hearing Chen Li'an's promise, Sophie Marceau immediately smiled, looked at Chen Li'an, who had become "conservative" again, took a step forward and put his arms around her neck, kissed him on the face and said: "Thank you, man from the East, you should be as wild and enthusiastic as last night, it is so charming." ”

The corners of Chen Li'an's mouth raised slightly, looked at Sophie Marceau and said, "This is the charm of oriental men, isn't it?" ”

After saying that, Chen Li'an and Sophie Marceau hugged each other lightly and left.

No matter how good the roses are, they can't delay the business, and they didn't come to Paris to enjoy the flowers, but for the sake of art!

But the French roses are really beautiful!

Chen Li'an sat in the taxi, looking at the scenery outside the window, and suddenly thought about whether there were several roses in France

Phew! Chen Li'an! How can a manly man be deceived by wine!

Chen Li'an, who was reinvigorated, began to think about the reception prepared by Ji Fa in the evening.

This is to help Chen Li'an and Bai Qing get into the sight of art collectors.

Chen Li'an was not very interested in this kind of reception, and so was Bai Qing.

Looking at himself in a dress in the mirror, Bai Qing was very unaccustomed to it, and felt that this kind of thing had nothing to do except for being exaggerated.

Ji Fa couldn't help but praise beside him: "Bai Qing, you are really beautiful, this dress suits you very well." ”

Bai Qing dragged the long skirt and said, "I don't think so, it's not me at all." ”

Ji Fa walked behind Bai Qing and supported her smooth shoulders, and his fingers couldn't help but rub lightly and said, "I know you like to be relaxed and free, although the dress is cumbersome and heavy, it is a business card to show yourself, and it is essential on some occasions." ”

Bai Qing, whose attention was on the dress, didn't notice Ji Fa's small movements, and said with a frown: "Does it have to be like this?" ”

"Yes, dear, hard work." Ji Fa tilted his head on Bai Qing's shoulder, looked at her in the mirror and said.

"Well, hopefully only this time." Bai Qing said helplessly.

Chen Li'an on the other side had just changed into layers of dresses, and he felt that he was tied up by damn clothes, and Ji Fa bought the clothes smaller!

I knew that I would have customized, but unfortunately I was in too much of a hurry to customize the suit.

Some tight clothes are worn on Chen Li'an, and he has no artist's temperament at all, but looks like a thug in a suit.

The slim suit perfectly shows off Chen Li'an's figure, and the wide shoulders and narrow waist look sexy.

This kind of dress is sure to attract a lot of female art collectors tonight

Chen Li'an's mind suddenly realized, could this be Ji Fa's scheme! The size I gave was obviously correct, so how could I buy it smaller!

Damn Ji Fa! I even planned to betray my hue!

Thinking of this, Chen Li'an immediately pushed open the door, wanting to see what kind of dress she prepared for Bai Qing.

After coming to the outside of the room, Chen Li'an looked at Bai Qing in a dress and was stunned for a moment, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, a very conservative and decent set of dresses, it seems that Ji Fa still has a point in his heart.

When Ji Fa saw Chen Li'an come out, he immediately ran over in surprise, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Li'an, I didn't expect you to look so good in a suit, but why do you feel a little small?" ”

Looking at Ji Fa's slightly frowning appearance, Chen Li'an wondered if he was thinking too much, he had eaten too much recently, so his clothes were a little tight?

Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an's bulging suit, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, stretched out his hand and pretended to smooth Chen Li'an's clothes, and said seriously and attentively: "It's a little wrinkled here, it's still a little smaller, don't make big moves tonight." ”

Chen Li'an looked down at Ji Fa, who was touching his chest, and couldn't help but knock on her head and said, "Have you touched enough!" ”

"Yikes!" Ji Fa covered his head and raised his head to look at Chen Li'an and said complainingly: "It's so stingy, not a gentleman at all!" ”

Is the gentleman just giving you a casual touch? Chen Li'an glanced at Ji Fa angrily, and then asked, "What is the purpose of tonight's drinking party?" ”

Ji Fa rubbed his head before saying, "Of course, I got to know those collectors in advance, and after the Venice Biennale in June, we will participate in the summer auction." ”

Chen Li'an nodded and looked at Ji Fa and asked, "Do you know each other in advance, or do you secretly operate it in advance?" ”

Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Ji Fa was stunned for a moment, and said in some surprise: "You even know this? However, you are also right to understand that the value of a work of art is not in the art itself, and you should understand this truth. ”

Chen Li'an sighed helplessly and said, "Of course I understand, but it's just that Bai Qing and I can participate in such an occasion, okay?" ”

"Don't worry, you don't have to meddle in these things." Ji Fa patted Chen Li'an's shoulder and said, "You can make a mascot tonight, and leave the rest to me, and I promise that your painting will be sold at a good price." ”

Bai Qing stood behind them, listening to these conversations, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how did good art become like this, the smell of copper is too much!

Anything will not be pure after being linked to business, this is something that cannot be avoided, Chen Li'an can understand, but he doesn't want to get involved, so he looked at Ji Fa and said: "It doesn't matter what price you sell, the important thing is not to get involved in some illegal things." ”

Looking at Chen Li'an's serious appearance, Ji Fa smiled and patted him lightly on the chest and asked, "Do you care about me?" ”

"Sort of, I don't want another manager one day." Chen Li'an said lightly.

Ji Fa nodded lightly and assured seriously: "Okay, don't worry, I'm a serious art businessman, and I won't get involved in those things." ”

"That's for the best."

The evening drinks were very private, no different from what Chen Li'an had imagined, except that he was tired of dealing with every collector who came to talk to him, discussing all kinds of modern art with them.

Bai Qing was very smart at this time, pretending that his English was not good, rarely speaking, and fully fulfilling the due duties of a mascot.

Bai Qing held the red wine glass and looked at the people who were dressed brightly and full of all kinds of art, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, art is just a piece of jewelry used for the decoration of these people, and several of these people are pure art collectors.

Artists really shouldn't be involved in such an occasion, which will make an artist lose his original intention and get lost in the glamour.

Chen Li'an could feel Bai Qing's emotions, and gently patted her on the back and said in Chinese: "Don't think so much. ”

"Hmm." Bai Qing took a sip of wine and said lightly, then turned his head to look at Chen Li'an and said, "Are you still going out tonight?" ”

Chen Li'an shook his head, looked at the trace of irritability in Bai Qing's eyes, gently grabbed her hand and said, "I won't go out tonight." ”

"Well, let's go back early, I miss you." Bai Qing held Chen Li'an's hand with his backhand, slightly hard, as if he had accumulated a lot of emotions in his heart and wanted to vent.

This trip to Paris did not make Bai Qing feel the feeling of being famous and recognized, but he felt a little lost, this art city is not the same as he imagined.

Maybe it's because Ji Fa told herself a lot about the inside story of art trading, or maybe she's tired of dealing with all kinds of strange problems, but in short, she has accumulated a lot of emotions in her heart now that need to be released.

Looking at Ji Fa, who was still talking to someone, Chen Li'an gently held Bai Qing's hand and said, "You wait for me for a while, I'll go talk to Ji Fa." ”

"Okay." Bai Qing put down the wine glass in his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

Chen Li'an nodded, came to Ji Fa's side, greeted the few people she was communicating, and after clinking glasses and taking a sip, he turned to Ji Fa and said, "Ji Fa, Bai Qing is a little uncomfortable, I want to send her back first." ”

Ji Fa paused, turned his head to look at Bai Qing in the distance, and then nodded lightly and said, "Okay, you send her back first, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

"Hard." Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa and said gratefully.

Ji Fa shook his head and said softly: "This is my duty, you go back, remember not to throw your clothes away." ”

Chen Li'an: "."
