336. Sophie Marceau's remuneration
In the brightly lit exhibition hall, there are many tourists who come and go, and the exhibition in Paris has been open for three days, but the popularity has not diminished, but the reputation has become better and better with the fermentation of time.
In the past three days, Chen Li'an's exhibition has become very famous, and there are many news reports in newspapers and magazines about Chen Li'an's art exhibition.
Chen Li'an's name appeared again in Parisian newspapers, large and small, many of which were marketing by Ji Fa, but also many of which were spontaneous by the media.
But the most unexpected thing is that many tabloids are reporting on Chen Li'an, and in the past, this kind of tabloid reported entertainment gossip.
Early this morning, Ji Fa smiled and threw a newspaper to Chen Li'an and said, "You have all gossip newspapers." ”
Chen Li'an took the newspaper and looked at it, and then lost it, these newspapers were really boring, and they were still frying his and Sophie Marceau's cold rice.
However, Sophie Marceau is indeed about to return to Europe, and Chen Li'an estimates that when Sophie Marceau gets off the plane in Paris, these tabloids will follow up and report.
Chen Li'an is all messed up now, anyway, the affairs of him and Sophie Marceau are on the bright side, and the reporter will report it if he wants to.
Foreign countries are not domestic, and romance is not a big problem, but it will make people feel that Chen Li'an is really temperamental, after all, he is an artist.
Chen Li'an will stay in Paris for four days, and I don't know if Sophie Marceau will be able to come back in time, and if not, he will have to meet in London.
Chen Li'an has been busy to death in the past two days, not only busy with exhibitions, but also dealing with those rich bigwigs.
Many art collectors are very interested in Chen Li'an's works this time, but Chen Li'an and Ji Fa are not ready to auction them now.
If they are auctioned now, first, they will not be able to get a high price, and second, their plans in Tokyo are not ready, so they can't take advantage of the heat.
Although Chen Li'an is not ready to auction, it does not mean that he cannot make money, the daily tickets are a lot of income, and Bernard also plans to have a joint cooperation with Chen Li'an.
The object of cooperation is his high-end luxury brand, and now that Chen Li'an is famous, he also wants to rub off on the popularity of Chen Li'an as an artist, or try a new model.
Since '92, the fashion industry has undergone earth-shaking changes, with a wide range of acquisitions and reorganizations of luxury brands, celebrities and celebrities have begun to enter the fashion industry, models and designers have begun to enter the spotlight, and even middle-class housewives in the United States know about those luxury brands in '93.
This is the result of the fashion industry and luxury brands working together to make changes, and the driving force behind this is Bernard, the head of the LVMH group in front of Chen Li'an.
In recent years, the mainstream of the fashion industry has been young designers, and even the chief designer of LVMH's Givenchy is Alexander McQueen, who has just entered the industry for a few years.
There are many more young designers like McQueen, they are a new generation, they are challenging the dominance of their predecessors, and they are synonymous with recklessness, rebellion, and depravity.
The only popular culture of the 21st century is fashion, and these young designers are the cultural pioneers of fashion.
In the quiet cigar room, Bernard looked at Chen Li'an with a cigar and said with a smile: "These young people are very extreme, but they do bring different blood and vitality to the fashion industry, but I want to try a different way, fashion and art are closely related, you are the most diverse and whimsical artist I have ever seen, do you want to try?" ”
Chen Li'an doesn't know much about fashion design, but it doesn't matter, he was going to do it too, and it's good to be able to practice here in Bernard now.
It's just that in the 90s, few artists would participate in the fashion industry, and in another ten years, more artists will take the initiative to embrace the fashion industry, and now Chen Li'an can be regarded as a pioneer in the art world to enter the fashion industry.
Chen Li'an sniffed the aroma of cigars on the tip of his nose, and after thinking for a while, he agreed to Bernard's invitation.
"Of course, I'm also interested in pop culture." Chen Li'an looked at Bernard and said: "Art and pop culture have a lot to do with each other, and I have a lot of ideas that I want to try. ”
Bernard smiled and said: "Then I'm looking forward to your attempt, only a ticket to Fashion Week and I'll help you get it." ”
"Thank you!" Chen Li'an said with a smile.
If you want to enter Paris Fashion Week, there are requirements, you have to be recognized by the association, Chen Li'an, who has no achievements in being a monk halfway, even if he is an artist, he can't enter casually, at least someone needs to dredge up the relationship.
Fashion also has associations, which is quite strange, there are associations in all walks of life around the world, just to control the discourse of the industry. But fashion and art are very boring when there are associations and rulers.
Every year of pop culture, there is an invisible driving force behind it, you think that talented designers are behind the capital push, fashion is sometimes like a joke.
The designer is also dancing in the cage, and the only freedom is that he can pick his own style of this cage.
Chen Li'an doesn't have a cage, and he doesn't expect to be famous in the fashion industry as a designer, he is the one who will be the boss in the future, who has nothing to do to play in the cage.
If you want to do it, you can watch the play outside the cage!
However, Chen Li'an has no time to care about these things now, there are many things to do on the tour, Paris is still a few days away, and the next stop in London must be prepared in advance.
Life is just busy, Chen Li'an is really busy now, the exhibition in Paris has to be taken care of every day, and the London side has to communicate with Ji Fa every day, that is, with the experience of Paris, many things have experience.
Bai Qing was also very busy, and after two days in Paris, she returned to Venice, where the works she and Chen Li'an exhibited can now be recycled and taken away.
Originally, the works created by Bai Qing and Chen Li'an together were easy to take away with a few paintings, but Chen Li'an's installation art was too big, and the organizing committee of the Venice Biennale arranged for someone to tear down the wall during this time, so that Chen Li'an's works could be brought out.
Bai Qing is now the same as the Wave No. 3 that used to receive Chen Li'an, and then brought it to Paris, where he will participate in Christie's spring auction next year.
Chen Li'an's current fame no longer needs to be sold first and then participate in the auction to hype up like before.
As for hype or something, there is no need for Chen Li'an and Ji Fa to spend a lot of energy to do it, and those who want to collect or do other things with art will operate it secretly.
This is also one of the benefits of fame, otherwise every work needs managers to spend a lot of energy behind the hype, so why be famous.
After the artist reaches a certain position, capital will take the initiative to chase many things, and the artist will become a production machine, as long as you are responsible for the output, the rest of the capital will do it for you.
The trio are now scattered across three locations, Chen Li'an in Paris, Bai Qing in Venice picking up the works, and Ji Fafa in London planning his next art exhibition.
At the exhibition in London, when Chen Li'an held a meeting in the ministry before coming, the ministry specially emphasized that it attached great importance to the art exhibition in London.
As for the reason, it's very simple, the British snatched so many of our cultural relics, and they were all holding their breath in their hearts.
Chen Li'an's exhibition in London must be successful and large-scale, just to let those robbers see, you have stolen Chinese things, but you can't steal culture and spirit!
The profound heritage of Chinese culture is constantly bursting out of new culture and art, which is the heritage of a cultural power! It's not like the robbers who only steal.
This is the attitude that the ministry wants to express, and Chen Li'an also thinks it is very good.
Time flies quickly, and it is the fifth day of the Paris station in a blink of an eye, Bai Qing has not come back yet, and Sophie Marceau has returned from Hollywood first.
Sophie Marceau did not cover up the news of her return to China at all, and was surrounded by reporters as soon as she got off the plane in Paris.
The glamorous and beautiful Sophie Marceau did not have the slightest impatience in the face of the reporter's flash, and she did not get tired after a few hours on the plane, and she was beautiful and moving in the camera.
Chen Li'an wore sunglasses and leaned against the pillar not far from the pick-up gate to look at her, but he didn't expose himself.
It doesn't matter how you write the gossip, but you can't give the reporter a real hammer.
When Sophie Marceau walked out of the aisle and walked towards the parking lot with reporters, Chen Li'an got up and went to the parking lot.
Sophie Marceau walked slowly, and Chen Li'an came to the car before her, sitting in the back seat and yawning.
Soon Sophie Marceau came over and handed over the luggage to the driver, then quickly pulled the door and got into the car.
The reporters who followed Sophie Marceau were almost smoking, and when the car door was opened, they saw only a person sitting inside, but they didn't know who it was.
The anxious reporter trotted over to see who the person in the car was, although everyone knew that the biggest possibility was Chen Li'an, but what if it wasn't? What if Chen Li'an is dumped?
Even if there is no case, it is really Chen Li'an inside, then you can take a group photo and take a real hammer.
It's a pity that the car is all pasted with privacy film, and you can't see anything from the outside after closing the door.
The reporter could only take a lonely picture and watch the driver put away his luggage and drove away.
In the car, Chen Li'an and Sophie Marceau kissed for a long time before parting, Chen Li'an wiped the lipstick marks on the corner of Sophie Marceau's mouth and said, "Are you satisfied with this effect today?" ”
"Very satisfied, thank you for your cooperation." Sophie Marceau said with a smile.
Chen Li'an didn't plan to pick up Sophie Marceau today, but Sophie Marceau specially asked for it, and Chen Li'an came to cooperate with her hype.
Sophie Marceau has developed in Hollywood in the past two years, and her popularity in Paris has declined.
Anyway, there is no need for Chen Li'an to show his face, Chen Li'an is also willing to cooperate.
Soon the car drove to Sophie Marceau's apartment, Chen Li'an wore sunglasses, a mask and a fisherman's hat and hugged Sophie Marceau to get out of the car and go directly upstairs.
The reporters squatting outside failed to take pictures of Chen Li'an's face, although it was a pity, but such photos were enough.
I can't see my face clearly, and sometimes I can write more exciting news.
After going upstairs, Chen Li'an and Sophie Marceau immediately took off all their disguises and faced each other in the freest and most natural state.
People are born naked, why do you have to do so much camouflage when you get along with each other, and throw away your clothes and everything!
However, the development of human civilization is constrained, and in order to help Sophie Marceau grow better and become more beautiful and rich, Chen Li'an took a special rope and tied it around her body again and again, and finally tied a beautiful knot on her hands that were tied behind her back.
Chen Li'an looked at his work and nodded with satisfaction.
"Do you know what this knot is called?" Chen Li'an asked as he pulled Sophie Marceau's hair up and put it on the rope.
Sophie Marceau squirmed, and before she could answer, she heard Chen Li'an say: "This is called horse bondage, which is based on the inspiration of human beings in order to tame wild horses. ”
"I'm not a horse." Sophie Marceau couldn't move, but could only tilt her head and say.
Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows and stood up and said, "Who said it wasn't?" Yanmar is also a horse. ”
Sophie Marceau: "." If you have the ability, you can smoke me! Come on!
Chen Li'an will naturally satisfy Sophie Marceau's wishes, and he will cooperate with you to hype it up without paying a little price?
I don't know how long it took, Sophie Marceau and Chen Li'an snuggled up on the bed, looking at the hook on the ceiling and resting in a daze.
Underneath the hook hung a sturdy rope, and the dripping water stains on the floor beneath the rope glistened in the light
In the next two days, except for going to the Orsay Art Museum in the afternoon to watch the exhibition, Chen Li'an is basically tired of being with Sophie Marceau, and there is always a lot of knowledge to exchange when reuniting after a long absence.
However, there are only two days left for the exhibition in Paris, and Chen Li'an is going to pack his things and go to London.
Sophie Marceau still has a job in Paris and can't accompany Chen Li'an to London, when Chen Li'an left, he kissed him for a long time and asked a little nervously: "Do you say it will be successful?" ”
Chen Li'an thought for a while and said: "It should be, after all, so many times, my health is so good, there is no reason not to be hit." ”
Sophie Marceau smiled when she heard this and said, "I'm looking forward to having a mixed-race baby. ”
"Aren't you worried about affecting your own development?" Chen Li'an asked curiously.
Sophie Marceau shook her head, blinked her beautiful blue eyes and said, "I'm going to take a year off next year, and I only have a chance next year." ”
Since Sophie Ma wants to take a year off, Chen Li'an doesn't say anything, anyway, now that there are more children, he doesn't have to worry, one is to raise a bunch of them, earn more money, and it's not that he can't afford to raise them.
After saying goodbye to Sophie Marceau, Chen Li'an flew directly to London with the team.
London, Chen Li'an is still looking forward to it, I don't know if he has fans in London, Chen Li'an still remembers the two British girls he met when he participated in the Venice Film Festival for the first time.
At that time, they were still fooling themselves into making same-sex movies, which was really everything.
When the plane landed in London, Chen Li'an breathed in the bad air of London, feeling that this trip to London might not be so peaceful.
