252. Cultural and artistic exchanges between China and Japan
From primitive times, the ancestors of human beings learned to cover their bodies with leaves, and it was also because of shame that they were sheltered from the wind and rain.
With the development of civilization, there are more and more clothes on human beings, and moral and aesthetic concepts are gradually established.
From the single function of sheltering from the wind and rain to keeping warm, clothes have been endowed with more meanings, such as the taste that has evolved from modern society.
The reason why erotic underwear makes the blood rush feel sexy is because it loses the most essential meaning of clothes, and also loses the shame of human beings, and has become an alternative taboo.
Human beings always like to be challenged and stimulated, and like things with a strong visual impact.
Chen Li'an is no exception, it can even be said that he likes excitement more than ordinary people, and the aesthetic limit of ordinary people is far from making Chen Li'an excited.
As an artist, Chen Li'an's pursuit of many things is very extreme, otherwise those good sisters would not scold him for being perverted every day.
Chen Li'an has always felt that he has been wronged, he is just more excited, and he still respects them very much in some games.
In the hotel room, Chen Li'an sat on the sofa, holding a wine glass in his hand with Erlang's legs crossed, watching the surprise performance prepared by Li Dabai for himself.
A person's Victoria's Secret show should be said to be a small secret show.
Li Dabai's figure is really top-notch, and she from the dance troupe is no worse than those professional models in terms of temperament and shape.
When she put on those sexy clothes and walked up, Chen Li'an, who watched it, was very worried, for fear that she would lose her center of gravity, and I really didn't know how she chose to dance in the first place.
Such a figure is not suitable for dancing, almost all of the top dancers are slender and thin, and people like Li Dabai, who are easy to lean forward, will not have much achievement.
Li Dabai walked in front of Chen Li'an, and as soon as he turned around and looked back, Chen Li'an grabbed her and dragged her into his arms.
The wide palm tugged lightly on the black silk sling, making a crisp sound.
Li Dabai snorted painfully, and said crookedly in Chen Li'an's arms: "Teacher Chen, it's okay not to go out today?" ”
"It depends on your performance." Chen Li'an glanced at the time and said, "It's nine o'clock in the morning, no accident at eleven o'clock, Ding Ping will come to me for lunch, you don't have much time." ”
"Hmph, then I'll feed you first and don't let you go out to eat!" Li Dabai turned over and looked at Chen Li'an condescendingly.
What can Li Dabai give Chen Li'an to eat, it is nothing more than some special dishes.
What kind of meat, eggs, onions, chickens, and tender peaches can indeed feed Chen Li'an, and he doesn't want to move anymore.
However, Chen Li'an still went out at noon, not Ou Dingping looking for him, but someone from Tokyo University of the Arts found Chen Li'an.
Chen Li'an wanted to refuse, but the other party said about Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges, and took out his identity as an honorary professor of CAFA, and Chen Li'an couldn't refuse.
Li Dabai asked curiously while helping Chen Li'an get dressed: "What is a Japanese professor at CAFA?" ”
"What's so strange about this, it's just honorary professors, and many Chinese artists are honorary professors at foreign universities." Chen Li'an tidied up his collar, looked at Li Dabai and said: "Ikuo Hirayama is very powerful, he went to China to hold art exhibitions in the seventies, and now he is also the president of the Sino-Japanese Cultural Exchange Association and the president of Tokyo University of the Arts. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Li'an suddenly remembered a report in a magazine he had read before, and Ikuo Hirayama also donated hundreds of millions of yen to Dunhuang to protect Dunhuang culture.
As a standard Buddhist, his paintings are mostly Buddhist paintings, and he is still a pacifist, probably because he experienced the glory of a young boy in Hiroshima when he was a child.
"Then what is he looking for you?" Li Dabai rubbed his sore waist and sat on the bed and asked curiously.
Chen Li'an shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows, maybe it's for cultural exchange?" Do you fulfill your responsibilities as president? ”
Instead of guessing here, why don't you go straight to Tokyo University of the Arts?
Uncle Li and the old man are also alumni here, and Chen Li'an is still very curious about this school.
In the early 20th century, many people in China came here to study, and Wanwan artists came the most, and there were relatively few in China.
Tokyo University of the Arts was very sincere and specially sent a car to pick up Chen Li'an, just got in the car Li Dabai was curious to talk to Chen Li'an, the driver in front took the initiative to say hello in Chinese.
"Hello, I'm Ido Muraji, it's nice to meet you."
Hearing the driver's proficient Chinese, Li Dabai was a little glad that he hadn't opened his mouth just now, otherwise he would have opened his mouth: Teacher Chen, the devil still attaches great importance to you.
Chen Li'an didn't know what Li Dabai was thinking in his heart, and when he heard the name Ito Muraji, he immediately looked at it curiously, and said with some uncertainty: "Did we meet in Venice last year?" ”
"Yes, I was the host of the Japan Pavilion at last year's Venice Biennale." Ito Muraji said with a smile, "It's just that we didn't know each other at the time. ”
Hearing Ido Muraji's confirmation, Chen Li'an couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, why did he take the initiative to be a driver.
Being able to be the host of the National Pavilion means that he is not an ordinary person, just like the host of the Chinese Pavilion would send a lecture teacher from the Academy of Fine Arts.
Ido Muraji's status in the Japanese art world is definitely not low, how can he take the initiative to pick himself up.
Chen Li'an didn't think so much and asked directly, "Why did you come to pick me up?" ”
Itomuraji laughed and said, "I would like to invite you to the Tokyo Art Festival. ”
The Tokyo Art Festival is the Tokyo Art Festival, the most influential art festival in Japan, and there are many large and small art exhibitions in Japan, but the only one that is really influential is the Tokyo Art Festival.
However, in a few years' time, there will be the Land Art Festival, and then the Tokyo Art Festival will really blossom internationally.
"Hasn't it already begun?" Chen Li'an asked curiously, "Do you want me to participate in next year's art festival?" ”
Itomuraji nodded and said, "That's right, I hope you can participate in the Tokyo Art Festival." ”
The Tokyo Art Festival and the Venice Art Biennale collide in time, and where can the Tokyo Art Festival do the Venice Art Biennale, it is estimated that they are looking for artists to support the venue.
"Thank you for the invitation, but I need to think about it."
Chen Li'an thought for a while and didn't immediately agree, there will be a financial crisis next year, Japan's losses are so big, I don't know if art energy conservation can't be done.
Ido Muraji, who originally wanted to talk about the theme of the art exhibition, smiled when he heard Chen Li'an's words and did not continue to invite.
This is also ninety-six years, and in previous years, even if you used money to smash it, you also had to smash a few artists.
It's a pity that Japan's economy is not as brilliant as it used to be, and Ido Muraji is a little nostalgic for the past few years.
Soon the car came to Tokyo University of the Arts, and Chen Li'an immediately felt the unique atmosphere of the University of the Arts after getting off the bus.
Tokyo University of the Arts, which specializes in both art and music, has a high level of achievement in art and music, and many celebrities have graduated from it.
The main thing is that the campus is in Ueno Park, and the environment is really good, the only pity is that there are no cherry blossoms on the cherry blossom trees.
Walking on campus, Chen Li'an and Ido Muraji chatted casually, he introduced the school to Chen Li'an, and the topic was still talking about the Tokyo Art Festival, intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Li'an just smiled and didn't answer, whether he participated or not depends on whether he has a suitable work in line with the theme of the art festival, and he doesn't know how to create, so he can't force it in.
Let's wait until next year to see which works I have created that are more suitable for which art festival, and Chen Li'an is really worried that there will be no money for the Tokyo Art Festival next year.
Last year, Venice was strapped for money, let alone Japan under the financial crisis last year.
Saying that art shouldn't talk about money, but holding art exhibitions requires money, which is reality and has nothing to do with art.
However, Chen Li'an also understood the news revealed by Ido Village, and Ikuo Hirayama wanted to hold a Sino-Japanese art exchange and invite him to hold an exhibition in Tokyo.
However, the specific content will not be known until Chen Li'an meets Ikuo Hirayama, after all, this is not something that can be explained by two sentences in Ido Village.
After following Ido Muraji to the main building of the school, Chen Li'an looked back at Li Dabai and asked, "Do you want to walk around here, or go up with me?" ”
Li Dabai thought for a while and said, "I'd better go shopping, I can't interject the topic you are talking about." ”
"Well, then I'll go up, and I'll come down to you later." After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he followed Jinghu Village 2 upstairs.
Chen Li'an doesn't attach so much importance to the so-called Sino-Japanese cultural and artistic exchanges, and he guesses that people probably don't pay so much attention to themselves.
It is estimated that what the Japanese side really wants to exchange is traditional culture and art, and Chinese painting, murals, and calligraphy are the contents that Japan wants to exchange.
I want to gain orthodox recognition, and even want to surpass China in this regard, but I can't say it so obviously, so let's talk about cultural and artistic exchanges.
Soon Chen Li'an saw Ikuo Hirayama, looking at this well-dressed and energetic old man, Chen Li'an shook hands with him very politely and said: "It's a pleasure to meet you, thank you for your protection of Dunhuang culture." ”
"Hello." Hirayama Ikuo's Chinese is also very good, but with a strange accent, it is estimated that Dunhuang has gone too much.
After a few people sat down, Ikuo Hirayama took the initiative to chat with Chen Li'an about Sino-Japanese cultural and artistic exchanges, but Chen Li'an didn't know much about Japanese culture and art, and rarely expressed his views on Japanese culture and art.
Ikuo Hirayama was very interested in the conversation, and he talked a lot about his views on Chinese culture with Chen Li'an, and after chatting for about half an hour, he got to the point, looked at Chen Li'an and asked: "I plan to invite some Chinese artists to come to Japan to exchange art, and I hope you can represent Chinese contemporary art in Japan to participate in the exchange." ”
"The representative can not be called a representative, there are many artists in China who are better than me." Chen Li'an replied politely.
"No, no, no, you are different, you are an artist with a very international vision, and you have your own different understanding of modern Chinese art, not blindly imitating Europe and the United States."
Hirayama Ikuo paused for a moment, looked at Chen Li'an and continued: "The development of Chinese art today is very similar to that of Japan in the past, during the Meiji Restoration, Japanese art suffered from the invasion of Western culture, and was influenced by Western culture for a long time, and China is also like this now. ”
Chen Li'an agreed with this, nodded his head and said: "That's true, but now we have stepped out of our own style." ”
Ikuo Hirayama shook his head and didn't argue with Chen Li'an about this issue, but said: "Art still has to be rooted in the local, your works have a strong local color, have a different and unique perspective, and many Chinese artists are still following the Western path in terms of expression." ”
Chen Li'an looked at Ikuo Hirayama with some surprise in his heart, feeling that he had a high opinion of himself, although he was a little powerful, but he shouldn't be as good as that.
How can Ikuo Hirayama feel like a unicorn among Chinese artists when he says it?
However, Chen Li'an was still very happy in the face of such praise, and nodded and agreed to Ikuo Hirayama's invitation, but Chen Li'an had his own ideas about the specific content of the exchange.
Since it's an art exchange, you can take advantage of this opportunity to create your own art space in Tokyo with the support of Ikuo Hirayama.
It's just that the specific communication is not in a hurry, and the exchange of culture and art between China and Japan will not start until next year, and it is estimated that it is also for the sake of the Tokyo Art Festival.
Chen Li'an is willing to accept this way, which is much more tactful than the way of Ido Village II.
And maybe you can find the right partner in Tokyo before the financial crisis, get financial support, and spend their money to build your own art space.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Chen Li'an should go to Xiangjiang as soon as possible to build his first art space in Xiangjiang, and only with a successful template can he fool people into investing.
Tokyo is a good place, Chen Li'an couldn't help but think that if he was famous in Tokyo, would he be able to meet the beauty of Showa without being introduced by Yasuko Tomita.
Kill three birds with one stone!
However, this trip to Tokyo was a little out of color, and I only saw Fujiwara Norika alone.
And I don't know each other, and I don't know when I will have the opportunity to see the style of the Miss Japan champion.
Talking about art with beautiful women is Chen Li'an's favorite thing, only art without beautiful women is like the world has lost its color and will be boring to the point of exploding.
After Chen Li'an left Ikuo Hirayama's office, he found Li Dabai who was wandering around the campus, took her hand and said, "Don't you think it's boring to be my assistant now?" ”
"No, it's just that sometimes I can't get involved in your conversation." Li Dabai said with some self-reproach: "I haven't had time to study art recently, am I too unqualified?" ”
Chen Li'an said with a smile: "Of course not, the assistant doesn't need to know so much, but have you ever thought about doing something else, you don't have to continue to be an assistant?" ”
Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Li Dabai's eyes lit up, is his own villa coming? Finally got rid of the identity of the big girl?
However, this excitement only lasted for less than a minute, and Li Dabai said with a lack of interest: "I don't want to, if I don't work as an assistant, I can't follow you all the time." ”
Chen Li'an was silent for a while, this is the reason why he wants to change his assistant, after breaking through that layer of relationship with Li Dabai, many times Chen Li'an can't do whatever he wants.
In the past, you couldn't take care of Li Dabai's emotions when you went out to wave, after all, he was just an assistant, but now that his identity has changed, he still has some scruples in his heart, and he didn't go back to the hotel last night, didn't Li Dabai play a little temper.
It's better to change to an assistant without any psychological burden.
Li Dabai looked at Chen Li'an, who was silent, and suddenly reacted, stared at Chen Li'an and asked, "Do you think I'll be staring at you?" ”
"No, I just think you're working too hard." Chen Li'an coughed and said, "Let's find another assistant, you go to the company to help Chen Meiren, she is short of manpower, and it's time to give you a promotion." ”
Li Dabai: "." You've got it! I'm annoyed!
However, Li Dabai's mentality has indeed changed, in the past, whether Chen Li'an did not return at night, or released his own pigeons, he would not be so angry.
This morning, he played a little tantrum with Chen Li'an, which is probably the reason why Chen Li'an is unwilling to use himself as an assistant.
After thinking about this, Li Dabai sighed and said, "Okay, I'll help you find an assistant when I go back, Teacher Chen, what do you want?" ”
Chen Li'an thought for a while and said, "It's about the same as you." ”
Li Dabai blinked his eyes and straightened his chest and asked, "Which aspect is similar?" ”
"In all respects!"
