In the quiet courtyard, a few pigeons stood on the bare branches of the courtyard with their wings fluttering, and a few pigeon whistles could be heard in the distance.

The pigeon squatting on the branch suddenly flipped its wings and flew away, Chen Li'an withdrew his gaze, looking at the tree in the yard and wondering whether to cut down or remove the tree.

"This tree looks like it's been around for a long time, and it's a pity to cut it down." Chen Li'an turned his head to look at Bai Qing and said.

Bai Qing pointed to a severed branch and said, "This tree is dead, cut it down, and transplantation can't save it." ”

On the trunk of the straight ginkgo tree, a broken branch has dried up, and Chen Li'an took a closer look to determine that the tree was really dead.

However, looking at this dead tree, Chen Li'an suddenly had a new inspiration, and the dead tree and this old courtyard house are somewhat inexplicably in line with their own theme.

At first, I thought that the tree was alive and thought about cutting it down or transplanting it, but now I find that the tree is dead, so I don't need to move it.

After circling the tree twice, Chen Li'an sat on the stone table in the courtyard and took out his design draft from his bag in the sun.

"You want to change it again?" Bai Qing walked over and asked.

Chen Li'an sharpened his pencil and hummed, looked up at the tall ginkgo tree and said, "But the branches need to be repaired, and this tree can be used as the center and support of the whole work, so you don't have to worry about load-bearing and structural problems." ”

The design on the bluestone table, with its intricate criss-crossing steel structure, is indeed a problem if there are no good support points.

Bai Qing thought for a moment and said, "That's a good idea. ”

Chen Li'an put down the utility knife in his hand. Gently blowing off the pencil ash on the edge of the table, he raised his head and looked at Bai Qing and said, "I will redraw the drawings, and there are not many changes, so you are responsible for changing the color of this courtyard." ”

"Well, but are you sure you want to change the color of all of them?" Bai Qing looked at Chen Li'an's drawings and asked.

This courtyard house, which has not been repaired and renovated, is full of blue-gray bricks and walls, and the wooden doors and windows that have been painted do not look solid, and some are too desolate and dilapidated.

This is not what Chen Li'an wants to feel, so he nodded and said: "All changes, all new colors, but this project is not small, you just have to adjust the color, and then find workers to do it." ”

Bai Qing nodded lightly, took his bag and went out to find a small worker squatting on the street looking for work.

The small workers in these years are all versatile, carpenters, bricklayers, painters, often have two or three crafts, and the wages are not much.

In less than an hour, Bai Qing returned with two workers on a tricycle with more than 20 buckets of paint in the body of the tricycle.

Chen Li'an has almost changed the drawings, looking at the workers who are moving paint to the yard, Chen Li'an put down the pen in his hand, walked to Bai Qing and said, "You are busy here, I will go to the building materials market to order materials." ”

Bai Qing was counting the paint, and when he heard it, he waved his hand at Chen Li'an and asked him to busy himself.

Chen Li'an's installation requires a lot of steel and cement, and it also requires oversized tinted glass to combine it to turn the light source of the entire space into the color he wants.

There are a lot of things that need to be purchased, and after wandering around the building materials market for a whole day, Chen Li'an ordered all the materials he needed.

However, all these materials will not be delivered until the day after tomorrow at the earliest, and Chen Li'an is not idle, helping to mix colors with Bai Qing in the courtyard, and the two painters are painting according to the drawings.

The pungent smell of paint was very strong, Chen Li'an and Bai Qing wore masks, added various colors to a large vat, and then kept stirring and mixing.

Chen Li'an picked up a little paint with a brush and glanced at it in the sun, confirming that it was exactly the same color as Bai Qing yesterday, so he rolled up his sleeves and went to join the work of painting the wall.

After a whole day of painting, the color of the whole yard has been completely changed, full of the atmosphere of the era of blue-gray and black, the whole yard has been decorated, the characteristics of the original courtyard have been diluted, and it will no longer give a strong first impression.

The repainted courtyard will also prevent the person who sees the work from automatically substituting the perspective into the fixed impression of the courtyard, and the title and width of the work will also be magnified.

Looking at the results of a busy day's work, Chen Li'an couldn't help but nodded, looked at Bai Qing who was rubbing his temples next to him, and shouted with a smile: "Call it a day today!" ”

The yard was full of pungent smells, and after smelling it for a long time, it would make me dizzy, not to mention that Bai Qing was a little uncomfortable, and Chen Li'an also felt a little headache.

After returning home in the evening, Chen Li'an washed two cabbages, held one by himself and handed it to Bai Qing and said, "Gnaw it raw." It can detoxify. ”

Bai Qing looked at the huge cabbage in front of him, and said angrily: "I'm not a rabbit, don't eat it!" ”

"A few bites, it's really detoxifying." Chen Li'an couldn't help but stuff the cabbage into Bai Qing's arms and said, "Don't go tomorrow, you can't help with the rest of the work, you can come back when you need to color it at the end." ”

Bai Qing hugged the cabbage and hummed, looking at Chen Li'an's gnawing vigorously, he couldn't help but take a bite, the sweet and silky ones were quite delicious

In the next few days, Chen Li'an instructed the workers in the courtyard every day to place steel pipes of different lengths and thicknesses in the courtyard according to his own requirements.

As time passed, there were more and more steel pipes in the yard, and the originally empty yard slowly became crowded, with countless steel pipes crisscrossing like bamboo shoots growing from the ground, and cement pillars of different shapes poured out of inconspicuous corners.

The steel pipes are the branches, and the cement pillars are like the backbone, but there is still a lack of green leaves and flowers.

Chen Li'an looked at the custom-made tinted glass and began to place tinted glass of different sizes and colors between these steel pipes and cement columns.

Under the refraction of the sunlight, the whole courtyard becomes psychedelic, and all the light seems to be painted, hitting the blue-gray walls, forming beautiful spots of light.

Chen Li'an held a long piece of glass in his hand, constantly adjusting the angle, striving to adjust the most perfect light spot.

It took Chen Li'an a whole week to complete the placement of the tinted glass, and the entire work was half completed at this time.

For the remaining half, Chen Li'an is still waiting for the materials to be sent over before he can make it.

However, just taking advantage of this gap, Chen Li'an can go to the winner's premiere, in the ninety-five years when there is no concept of Chinese New Year files, the movie is not a good time to be released at this time.

However, the entire schedule can also touch the New Year's Day holiday, which will be more or less helpful to the box office.

In the Shengli Cinema, there was a very simple and humble premiere, but there were a lot of people who came, more than a dozen reporters, as well as people from the Disabled Persons' Federation and Han Shanping from Beijing Film Studio.

However, these people Chen Li'an were not very interested, because he also saw a wonderful person.

"Cough" Chen Li'an coughed lightly, touched Ning Jing lightly with his shoulder, and asked, "Did you call Jiang Wen over?" ”

Ning Jing snorted coldly, and said in an unhappy tone: "I don't do that kind of thing, it's not like there are no men in this world!" ”

Chen Li'an pouted, and then asked about the Red River Valley.

"I don't believe it, I've already told the factory, but whether it can be done or not, I won't know until a while." Tranquility explained, and then asked curiously, "Have you painted lately?" Can you show me? ”

"Are you interested?" Chen Li'an asked curiously.

Tranquility raised her eyebrows and said a little proudly: "I learned to draw since I was a child, if I hadn't been fooled at the time, I wouldn't be an actor." ”

"I really didn't see it, it's rare that you can sit still with a temper." Chen Li'an replied with a smile, and after noticing Jiang Wen and Huo Jianqi coming over together, he immediately whispered to Ning Jing: "Jiang Wen is here, don't get angry later, there are many reporters." ”

Ning Jing turned her head to look at the smiling hearty Jiang Wen, and snorted and turned her back.

Chen Li'an was worried that Ning Jing would not be able to help arguing with Jiang Wen later, so he took the initiative to step forward and greet him and said, "Long time no see, you didn't go to Venice last time, and I still have a little regret that I couldn't drink with you." ”

Jiang Wen's gaze stayed on Ning Jing for a moment, then looked at Chen Li'an and said: "The wine in Venice is not good, how can our Erguotou be delicious, let's have a drink together after watching the movie tonight." ”

"That's good, now that the movie is out, I'm finally relieved." Huo Jianqi said with a smile next to him.

Chen Li'an smiled and looked at Huo Jianqi and said, "You're not afraid that your wife will go home and let you kneel on the washboard." ”

Huo Jianqi's face flushed, and he glanced at Su Xiaowei, who was chatting with others in the distance, and then said stiffly: "The old man drinks, she can't care." ”

Looking at Huo Jianqi, who wanted to save face, Chen Li'an and Jiang Wen glanced at each other, and then laughed at the same time, Huo Jianqi's face turned red when he laughed, and finally he couldn't help laughing together.

Afraid that his wife would be embarrassed, and he still expected his wife to write a script for him, Huo Jianqi comforted himself in his heart.

A few people chatted for a while, and soon entered the theater together, the theater of Shengli Cinema was quite large, and the premiere was also full of audiences, most of whom came to Ning Jing.

Although the male lead actor is very famous, he is only famous in the literary circle, and the audience doesn't know much, although the director has been in this industry for several years, he is just a rookie director, and the audience doesn't care.

Only Ning Jing, the heroine, became completely popular all over the country with her role in Milan on a sunny day released in September, and for a while, many half-grown young men would dream of Ning Jing in a swimsuit when they slept at night.

Ning Jing was also very famous before, but what really made her popular was this sunny day, I can only say that Jiang Wen is really good at shooting women and spanning ass!

The premiere was a little boring for Chen Li'an, he had seen all the movies, and he didn't have the energy to act at all, although it was the first theatrical movie, Chen Li'an still couldn't lift his spirits, and sat with Jiang Wen and chatted with him.

"Why did you remember to come here?" Chen Li'an asked curiously.

"That day in the Chinese opera, Director Huo went to promote, I watched the first half, and the back left in advance, so I came over today to make up for it." Jiang Wen replied in a low voice, he had read the previous part, but he was not so serious.

Chen Li'an doesn't know if what Jiang Wen said is true or false, but being able to participate can be regarded as bringing a lot of heat to the winner movie.

"Then you take a good look, I'll squint for a while, and call me when I'm done." Chen Li'an couldn't help but yawn and said, then leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.

During this time, he was busy creating in the courtyard, and he didn't have much rest, and Chen Li'an is very sleepy now.

Jiang Wen glanced at Chen Li'an, who was about to sleep with his eyes closed, and admired his attitude in his heart, normal people will start to be nervous about whether their performance will be recognized by the audience, he is good, and he fell asleep directly!

However, such a character makes Jiang Wen appreciate it a little, and the artist is always a bit maverick.

When Chen Li'an woke up in a daze, the movie was almost over, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Wen who was concentrating next to him, Chen Li'an yawned silently, rubbed his eyes and swept around the dark theater, and found that everyone was watching the movie intently.

This section at the end of the movie is indeed wonderful and attractive, and Chen Li'an can see the excitement and anticipation in the audience's eyes.

Both protagonists are running towards their own futures, which is still very inspiring.

Soon the movie ended, as soon as Chen Li'an sat up, there was violent applause in the theater, and Jiang Wen, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but applaud, looked at Chen Li'an and said: "You acted really well, and Director Huo handled the latter part well." ”

"You should tell Director Huo, I won't say thank you to you, he will definitely be able to hold your hand and thank you." Chen Li'an said with a smile.

The lights in the theater were also lit at this time, Huo Jianqi stood up with a smile on his face, motioned for Chen Li'an and them to stand up together, and then bowed to all the audience to express his gratitude.

After the audience left, Chen Li'an looked at Huo Jianqi and said, "Director Huo, the premiere is still very successful, you have a treat in the evening." ”

Huo Jianqi laughed, then subconsciously glanced at Su Xiaowei, and when he saw that she didn't react, he smiled and said, "No problem, let's all go today, have a drink together to celebrate!" ”

"There are a lot of people here, Lao Huo, you're going to bleed heavily tonight." Han Shanping said with a smile next to him, and then said with some pity: "It would be nice if it was released again next year, next year's Paralympic Games will definitely bring a lot of box office to the movie." ”

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows, he really didn't expect that the release of the Paralympic Games would indeed bring a lot of box office, and it would also allow more people to pay attention to the Paralympic Games.

It's really a pity, Chen Li'an glanced at the complacent Huo Jianqi, shook his head slightly, it's not bad to release it in advance, who made Huo Jianqi can't wait.

When the group was about to leave the cinema, a reporter from the popular film magazine suddenly came over, directly found Chen Li'an and said: "Hello, I am a reporter from the popular film, I don't know if it is convenient to interview you?" ”

Chen Li'an was interviewed by popular photography, and it was the first time for a popular film, so he curiously pointed to a few people around him and asked: "There are actors and directors who are more famous than me here, why do you want to interview me?" Can I interview you? ”

Reverse interview? The reporter was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I have interviewed them all, so I want to interview you." ”

Several people around laughed, Jiang Wen patted Chen Li'an on the shoulder and said: "Popular movies are selling well, and interviewing you once can help you increase your popularity a lot." ”

Visibility? Chen Li'an really doesn't care about this thing, he is not very famous now, who in the art circle doesn't know Chen Li'an.

It doesn't matter if you want to be well-known in the entertainment industry, it's really not a good thing for Chen Li'an to be famous, he doesn't like to be taken out of life wherever he goes.

"Sorry, we don't have time right now, we're going to celebrate, and I'll be interviewed by you next time."

Chen Li'an refused with a smile, and was just about to raise his legs and leave, when Huo Jianqi next to him immediately said: "We can wait for you, the interview will be very fast!" ”

Seeing Huo Jianqi glaring at him, Chen Li'an tugged at the corners of his mouth, and had to look at the reporter helplessly and said, "Is ten minutes enough?" If not, next time. ”

"Enough!" The reporter immediately responded with a smile, then looked at the quieter place in the corner of the theater and said to Chen Li'an: "Let's go over there, it will be over soon." ”

Chen Li'an nodded and followed, and as soon as he sat down, he heard the reporter ask directly: "Can you tell me why you chose to act?" As far as I know, you are a very successful artist, which one do you prefer as an actor or an artist? ”

Chen Li'an sighed slightly and said: "I like them all, but I prefer artistic creation, and the space for actors to play is too small." ”

"Can you talk about your relationship status? What is your relationship with Chen Meiren and Gong Li? At this time, the reporter asked the question he was most concerned about.

One is the heroine of the popular Qiong Yao drama, the most beautiful Diao Chan; One is the ceiling of international actresses and actresses. These two people have an inexplicable relationship with Chen Li'an, who can not be curious!

Moreover, Chen Li'an is still a great artist, and the story of talented and beautiful women is popular in any era.

Seeing that the reporter's face was full of seriousness but there was gossip hidden in his eyes, Chen Li'an frowned and said directly: "Shouldn't you ask some movie-related things?" ”

"That's all for this interview, I don't like to share my life with others."

After speaking, Chen Li'an turned around and left, leaving the reporter to sit in place

It's so faceless! When I go back, I write a manuscript and scold him! The reporter snorted, put away his notebook and left.

"You're too faceless, aren't you afraid that he will deliberately smear the movie?" Jiang Wen Chen Li'an asked curiously.

Chen Li'an smiled and pointed to Han Shanping in front of him and the leader of the Disabled Persons' Federation and said, "Do you think he has a chance?" ”

"You're going to do it!" Jiang Wen looked at Chen Li'an's confident appearance, pointed to Huo Jianqi on the other side, who had an expression full of expressions of wanting to hit people, and said, "Director Huo also plans to promote it through your interview." ”

Chen Li'an: "." It's sloppy, I'm sorry Huo Jianqi!

(It's done, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep, I'll change it early on the weekend, and I'll get up tomorrow to code the word!) ）
