In late autumn, the leaves of the plane trees turn golden yellow, and the autumn wind blows and falls.

Autumn in Paris always gives people a sense of leisure after retirement, and when you stroll leisurely through the streets and a fallen leaf falls overhead, you will have the feeling of being selected by the romance of autumn.

When the car drives through the street, rolling up a few fallen leaves has a laid-back aesthetic.

Of course, you have to ignore the homeless people lying on the streets, there have been more and more "refugees" in Paris in the past two years.

Chen Li'an closed the car window and sighed silently in his heart, in a few years, the streets of Paris may not have such a beautiful scenery.

Behind Chen Li'an's car is a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles, all of which are artworks that will be on display.

If Chen Li'an did not recreate those traditional handicrafts, they could only be called handicrafts, and even if he came to Paris to hold an exhibition, it would not be an art exhibition but a handicraft exhibition.

There is only one artist between arts and crafts, and those masters in China can only be called craftsmen, which is a pity to think about.

Soon the car arrived next to the Orsay Museum, Chen Li'an pushed the car door and got out of the car, and saw Ji Fa, who had been waiting here, greeted him and gave Chen Li'an a hug warmly.

After hugging Chen Li'an, Ji Fa ran over and hugged Bai Qing, and came to the veneer ceremony.

Bai Qing's treatment is much stronger than Chen Li'an's.

Chen Li'an didn't care, and walked towards the convoy behind him, which was full of artworks that had been airlifted over.

Now it's time to set up the pavilion in advance, and the week-long art exhibition in Paris can take several days just to prepare, which is very troublesome.

The team members who came to Paris with Chen Li'an also got off the bus one after another, all looking at the Musée d'Orsay in front of them in amazement, and they had been immersed in the beautiful scenery of the streets of Paris on the way from the airport.

A considerable number of people are going abroad for the first time, and the excitement and curiosity in their hearts are all written on their faces.

Following Chen Li'an to go abroad for art exhibitions is equivalent to publicly-funded tourism, and it is also a global tour!

Chen Li'an looked at their excited looks and said with a smile: "Teachers, wait a while, take down these works first, and then send the teachers to the hotel to rest after they are placed." ”

"It's okay, there's no hurry!"

"Xiao Chen, can you go inside to visit? I haven't seen a foreign museum yet. ”

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "Of course, I'll help you buy tickets." ”

After speaking, Chen Li'an turned to look at Liu Tao, who was also very excited, and said: "Xiaobai, it's the first time to go abroad with me, now exercise it, go buy tickets for the teachers, and take them to visit." ”

Liu Tao's excitement disappeared, and he only felt the pressure. Looking at the ticket office of the Orsay Art Museum, I took a deep breath, feeling that the time had come to test myself, and I didn't know if the English I had practiced hard would work.

Liu Tao tidied up his clothes and walked towards the ticket office in a majestic manner.

Chen Li'an looked at her back, how could he still feel a momentum of death, I hope the conductor can understand her plastic English.

If you look for an assistant in the future, you will have to find someone with a high degree of education, although Liu Tao has grown up very fast, it always takes time to cultivate.

Liu Tao stumbled and communicated with the conductor for a long time, and finally ran back excitedly after buying the ticket to ask Chen Li'an for credit.

Chen Li'an praised a few words and asked her to take people to visit, and after everyone in the team left, Chen Li'an and Ji Fa went to see the layout of the exhibition hall.

The booths in the exhibition hall have already been arranged, these have been communicated in advance, and now they just need to be placed according to the position.

After looking around, Chen Li'an is still quite satisfied, the Orsay Art Museum is a more famous art museum in Paris, and there are many artists who come to hold exhibitions every year, so the exhibition hall naturally has nothing to say.

Whether an exhibition can be successful or not, the pavilion is very important, but it is more important the artist and the means of publicity.

Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa and took the initiative to ask, "Do you need my help to publicize these days?" ”

"No, you don't." Ji Fa said with a smile: "You go to Venice to attend the closing ceremony first, and getting the award is the best publicity." ”

Chen Li'an shook his head lightly and said: "There is not much hope of winning the award, and it is unlikely that the organizer will give me the gold award for two consecutive years." ”

The Venice Art Festival is also coming to an end, and Chen Li'an is not sure if he can win the award, after all, he has already won the award in the last session.

It is basically impossible for the same person to win the award for two consecutive years, even if Chen Li'an's work is very good, it has attracted a lot of attention and influence.

Ji Fa stroked his long golden hair, and said with a smile: "The gold award is impossible, but the silver award is possible, and you have also been shortlisted for the world's 100 most influential contemporary artists, just wait for the end of the month to be announced." ”

Not to mention that Chen Li'an has almost forgotten this, he has also been selected as a hundred people, the life in China is still too comfortable, there is no art festival and no award, Chen Li'an has only won the outstanding work award of the National Art Exhibition in China so far, and many people have won it together.

Speaking of which, it's really bad in China, Chen Li'an thought for a while, thinking about whether he could take the lead in doing an art festival in China when he had the opportunity.

There are too many ideas, and it's useless to talk about them now, so let's get busy with the things in front of us and other things later.

After Chen Li'an watched all the works unloaded and placed in the Orsay Art Museum, he went to the art museum to find someone to take them back to the hotel one by one like a tour guide.

It was still early to return to the hotel, Chen Li'an settled them and let Liu Tao be in charge of the arrangements in the hotel, so he went to Ji Fa's house, why should he stay in a hotel if he has a villa?

At night, on the sofa in the living room, Chen Li'an, Bai Qing and Ji Fa nested in the sofa, watching boring French movies and drinking red wine and chatting.

The atmosphere is not warm, but it is very reassuring, a few people chatted and occasionally remembered something interesting to share, and after laughing, they leaned together to watch boring movies.

It's just that the wine in the bottle is getting less and less, and until late at night, all three of them are dizzy and dazed, lying on the sofa on all fours and falling asleep.

The movie was still playing on the TV, and the black-and-white picture showed an old man in a tuxedo babbling lines that he didn't understand.

The next morning, Chen Li'an got up on the floor, rubbed his sore neck and couldn't help but hum a few times, he slept on his stomach on the floor all night last night, and his face was numb.

Ji Fa and Bai Qing hugged each other and slept comfortably on the sofa. After Chen Li'an got up and washed, he went to make breakfast.

It didn't take long for Ji Fa to come over, still holding a toothbrush in his mouth and muttering, "My bacon should be charred a little, and the milk should not be afraid of heat." ”

"You know, by the way, is the ticket decided?" Chen Li'an asked while frying bacon.

Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an, who was frying bacon bare, glanced at the outside of the kitchen again, hugged him from behind and ate two handfuls of tofu before saying with satisfaction: "I have arranged for you, the flight is two o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Chen Li'an was speechless, Ji Fa is a female hooligan! The toothpaste foam on his hands was all over him.

Ji Fa pinched Chen Li'an's muscles and said, "I'll go to the exhibition hall with me later, I have some things to discuss with you." ”

"Just talk, don't move your hands and feet." Chen Li'an slapped off Ji Fa's claws angrily, and asked strangely, "Why are you still going to the exhibition hall?" Didn't you say it all yesterday? ”

Ji Fa glanced at Bai Qing, who had already washed up and appeared in the restaurant, secretly winked at Chen Li'an, raised his voice and said: "There is something wrong with the poster over there in the exhibition hall, you and I will go to see it, it will not delay you and Bai Qing to go to Venice." ”

Chen Li'an understood what Ji Fa meant, pulled the corners of his mouth, nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay." ”

After breakfast, Chen Li'an went out with Ji Fa, Bai Qing was too lazy to move, so he didn't take the initiative to ask to go together.

After going out, Ji Fa couldn't help but pull Chen Li'an to kiss at the door of the villa, they were only separated from Bai Qing by a door, and they could still hear Bai Qing listening to music in the house.

Neither of them dared to make much noise, but they were reluctant to separate, so they leaned against the door and kissed for a long time.

After a long time, the two separated, and Chen Li'an whispered slightly panting: "How do you feel cheating." ”

Ji Fa picked up Chen Li'an's chin and said, "Don't you just like this?" ”

Chen Li'an: "." Obviously you like it better!

At half past one in the afternoon, Bai Qing, who had already arrived at the airport, looked at Chen Li'an, who came in a hurry, and after frowning his nose and smelling a few times, he couldn't help frowning, the strange smell of shower gel, and a familiar smell of perfume.

Chen Li'an naturally turned away, and after being a little far away from Bai Qing, he said, "It's time to board the plane now, let's go." ”

"Hmm." Bai Qing didn't ask where the strange smell on Chen Li'an's body came from, who else could there be in Paris, Sophie Marso.

I really don't know where that woman is good, and the dog man is not willing to part with her!

Sophie Marceau, who was filming in the United States, suddenly sneezed, rubbed her small nose, calculated that she would finish it in a few days, and then go back to Paris.

Chen Li'an and Bai Qing flew to Venice, and Liu Tao, who was left behind, is now having a headache, a group of forty or fifty-year-old masters surrounded him and let him take them out to play, feeling that he was about to become a tour guide.

"Little girl, you take us to see Notre Dame Cathedral."

"You have foreign exchange there, no, I want to buy something to go back."

"We don't know any foreign languages, so we can't go out without us."

Liu Tao felt that one head and two were big, but he also knew that this was Chen Li'an's task to exercise himself, so he had to patiently explain to them, and then exchange foreign exchange with them to determine today's itinerary.

More than an hour later, a group of uncles and aunts with red hats, led by Liu Tao, rushed to various attractions in Paris.

Venice at night, with lights reflected in the sparkling water, and the closing ceremony of the Venice Art Biennale is underway in the venue not far away.

Chen Li'an and Bai Qing sat in the middle of a group of Chinese artists, listening to Germano's speech.

Cai Guoqiang and Fang Lijun, who are more familiar with Chen Li'an, took the initiative to chat with him about who would win the award tonight.

They all think that Chen Li'an is more likely to win the award, but Chen Li'an doesn't think he can win the award, first, he won the award last time, and second, his highest-rated work this time is installation art.

If it's an oil painting, it's possible to win an award, but if it's an installation art, it's still a little worse.

Chen Li'an thought of the works he had seen in this art exhibition, and felt that the German artist Gerhard Richter was the most likely to win the prize.

Soon the time to finally reveal the answer came, when the Silver Lion Award was awarded, Jemano stood on the stage and glanced at Chen Li'an, and then said with a smile: "Let's congratulate Chen Li'an on winning the Silver Lion Award, he is a passionate and rational artist, and his works will leave a deep impression on the art of the 20th century!" ”

Chen Li'an was not surprised, stood up with a smile and came to the stage to accept the award, and when he got the silver lion trophy, he looked at it a few times and joked: "Silver is not as good as gold, but I already have a golden one at home, and this one is just symmetrical." I hope that I can bring back a lion next time and make a family of three. ”

The audience immediately laughed face-saving, thinking that Chen Li'an was showing off, this guy has won awards for two consecutive years, and he wants to win three consecutive awards.

Many of these artists in the audience have never won an award in their lives.

Chen Li'an thanked him a few more words on the stage and went down, and after coming down, Cai Guoqiang curiously took the silver lion trophy and looked at it a few times and said: "St. Marco's flying lion is a bit similar to a griffin." ”

"It's all the same, the mythical creatures of the West either have wings or can be multi-headed monsters." Chen Li'an said with a smile, and then heard the winner of this year's award announced on the stage.

"Grand Prize Winner of the 47th Venice Biennale Art Exhibition, Gerhard Richter!"

Chen Li'an immediately applauded when he heard this, and said to Cai Guoqiang: "How about it, I'll just say that he has the best chance of winning the award." ”

"Well, you guessed that right." Cai Guoqiang also has to admit that Chen Li'an's vision is very accurate.

After the final prize was over, the evening was almost over, but the conversation was not entirely focused on the grand prize winner, Gerhard Richter.

Many artists and journalists are more curious about Chen Li'an, and they want to talk to him even more, since Chen Li'an's performance art bombing Tokyo in August ended, he has not been officially interviewed by an art magazine.

Chen Li'an is now more topical, and naturally took away part of the limelight that originally belonged to the grand prize winners.

A reporter who interviewed Chen Li'an before found Chen Li'an and said: "Congratulations on winning the silver award, although you didn't win the gold award, but there is good news to share with you, you have been selected as one of the top 100 in the world." ”

Chen Li'an looked at this reporter and remembered that he was a reporter from Art Watch, and he had told himself that Sophie Marceau had written an autobiography.

"Thanks, has the news been announced?" Chen Li'an asked curiously.

The reporter smiled and said: "Tomorrow the latest issue of the magazine will be announced, you are the youngest one, maybe you can be seen in the list every year in the future." ”

Chen Li'an smiled and said: "I hope that one day I will become one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century, but in 1997." ”

"There will be this day."

"I'm looking forward to it!"

There is also a chapter, which was owed in the first two days, and will be made up in the next few days.
