441. I'm just a mediocre artist
On summer streets, the heat takes over the city. Walking in the bustling crowd, the heat wave is blowing in the face, making people sweat.
A Mercedes-Benz stopped at the entrance of the art museum, Zhang Guorong got out of the car wearing sunglasses, and then turned around and stretched out his hand to Akina Nakamori in the car very gentlemanly and said, "Be careful when you get out of the car." ”
In a car in front, Chen Li'an, who had just come down, couldn't help but smash his mouth when he looked at this scene, Zhang Guorong is this spring heart sprouting? What should Mr. Tang do?
Chen Li'an was a little entangled in whether to secretly talk to Mr. Tang, forget it, how can you do this kind of thing, Zhang Guorong has never secretly beaten his little report.
Chen Li'an sighed silently in his heart for his financial advisor, Tang Sheng, don't blame me for not being angry.
"What's the fuss?" Bai Qing walked over from behind Chen Li'an and asked.
Chen Li'an came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, let's go in, today's weather is too suitable." ”
"Yes, but in such a hot situation, will the process be too fast?" Bai Qing said with some concern.
Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "The sooner the better, fast is enough to shock." ”
Bai Qing nodded and said no more.
Zhang Guorong walked over with Akina Nakamori, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "You really know how to choose the time, it's so hot today." ”
"You're not a vampire, it's good for you to bask in the sun more, don't know how to play mahjong and drink all day long!" Chen Li'an couldn't help but say.
Zhang Guorong snorted and stopped talking, every time he met Chen Li'an, he would be educated, and he didn't know who was the elder brother! No politeness!
Akina Nakamori watched from the side, and she was quite envious of their relationship, and felt that it was good to have such a friend.
Chen Li'an glanced at Akina Nakamori, I don't know if this girl is interesting to Zhang Guorong, if she has an idea, she may be able to match.
I haven't been a matchmaker yet!
However, Chen Li'an is also a little worried, Akina Nakamori's personality is also sad, Zhang Guorong also has psychological problems, and I don't know if it is good for these two people to get together.
Don't forget it together then, don't think about it.
Chen Li'an looked at Zhang Guorong and Akina Nakamori talking and laughing, and felt that his current psychological condition should be not bad, and there should be no tragedy like in his previous life.
But you still have to pay more attention when you look back, otherwise your heart will always be up and down.
It was indeed too hot outside, and Chen Li'an and his entourage walked into the art museum together.
Not far from the museum, two girls were trotting with maps in their hands.
"Hurry up, it's going to be too late."
On the lively street, Cai Yan took Quan Bao'er's hand and urged anxiously.
Quan Bao'er wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at Cai Yan's back and said, "Don't worry, there is still half an hour." ”
"There must be a lot of people, what if you can't get in." Cai Yan said without looking back.
Quan Bao'er said helplessly: "Okay. I wish I had known to take a taxi, it's too hot today. ”
Their destination is Chen Li'an's art exhibition, there is no competition these days, and the next show will have to wait for nearly a week, and they have nothing else to do every day except rehearsals.
You can't practice singing all the time, and you have to pay attention to protecting your voice, so you will come out for a turn when you have nothing to do, and this time it was also after knowing that Chen Li'an held an art exhibition, so I was curious and wanted to come and have a look.
There are still many people who think the same as Cai Yan and Quan Baoer, and the new top 12 in Asia basically have this idea.
It may be that the image that Chen Li'an left in their hearts that day was too profound.
It's not right to be so arrogant, it should be said that it is a strong man, which makes them have some admiration and curiosity in their hearts, people are strong, and women are no exception.
At this time, in the exhibition hall of the museum, Chen Li'an was chatting with a group of artists and art critics, most of whom were mainland artists and art critics, who were chatting about art around Chen Li'an.
As soon as there are more people, the topic will inevitably talk about the painter who plagiarized last time.
It is rare for such a big scandal to occur in the domestic art circle, and when everyone encounters it, they will definitely talk about it.
Some people are indignant, some people are angry, and some people are ashamed, Old Man Yang is ashamed, and he feels that he almost can't keep his reputation for a lifetime.
Everyone talked a lot, and now they all hope that Chen Li'an can make a successful work this time to boost the domestic art circle.
They looked at the huge installation in the middle of the room, wondering what kind of work was underneath the black flannel.
However, Chen Li'an didn't tell them, but just said that they should wait.
Time passed minute by minute, and there were more and more people in the exhibition hall, this time Chen Li'an did not invite too many people, and even the number of visitors was limited, and only 300 tickets were sold.
With the addition of the artists and art critics invited by Chen, the total number of visitors to the entire exhibition hall was less than 350.
The number of people seems to be very small, but after all of them enter the exhibition hall, it still seems very crowded, Jiang Wen stood in the crowd and fiddled with the camera, giving Chen Li'an free hard labor.
"Er Yong, you go and ask Chen Li'an when it will start."
Er Yong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask now." ”
"Teacher Chen, what time do we start?" Er Yong came to Chen Li'an and asked.
Chen Li'an, who was chatting with Ito Village, turned his head and said, "You can prepare in advance, and you can start in about ten minutes." ”
"Okay." Eryong immediately ran to prepare.
Chen Li'an turned around and said to Ido Villageoji: "You came to give me a trophy this time. ”
Ito Muraji said with a smile: "Yes, I am very grateful that Li Anjun can come to our art exhibition this time, although I can't be able to receive the award in person, but I am still very grateful." ”
Chen Li'an was actually quite surprised, he just sent the painting he painted last time to the Tokyo Art Exhibition, and he didn't expect to win the gold medal.
Maybe it's because he only won a silver medal at the Tokyo Art Exhibition last time, and the organizing committee compensated him, Chen Li'an is still a little excited when he thinks of the super-large performance art he did in Tokyo that year.
I don't know if I'll have the opportunity to create a work based on a city blueprint in the future, and that's a really cool feeling.
However, this kind of large-scale art is too dangerous and easy to be criticized, Chen Li'an was scolded miserably that time, and there is continuous criticism in China, and some people are about to lick other people's pants.
Chen Li'an is actually quite helpless, as soon as he says that he wants to engage in art, he will receive attention from many parties.
This time, the middle-level art he engaged in in the art museum also sent someone to ask, and Lin Fangmu, the big man, personally called Chen Li'an to ask him what art he was engaged in and whether there would be a mess.
I am afraid that Chen Li'an will make another big move, stir up public opinion, and get the last bunch of trouble.
If it weren't for Chen Li'an's fame and his own pivotal business tycoon, it is estimated that Chen Li'an would have stayed at home honestly, so he would not have been given the opportunity to come out to hold an exhibition.
Chen Li'an feels that he is quite innocent, the artworks he creates are just in line with the characteristics of the times, with his own thinking and criticism, and he has never wanted to insinuate anything, but unfortunately every time there will be a big movement, and he is also very helpless.
He's just an ordinary artist, what's wrong with making art?
At this time, there was a mess outside the art museum, and the top 12 players of Asia Star were blocked outside the exhibition hall.
They were embarrassed at this time, but when they came to buy tickets, they were told that they had sold out ten days ago, and that there were only three hundred tickets, and the people who bought them had already entered.
The girls looked at each other at this time, but they didn't expect to come to see an art exhibition and couldn't even enter the door, is the threshold for art so high?
It may also be that the threshold for Chen to file a case is too high, not that the threshold for art is too high.
But now it's very troublesome, they can't get in if they want to, they can't get out if they want to, they are so famous now, they are recognized as soon as they get here.
Today, I don't know which school organized a visit, but a group of high school students recognized them and surrounded them!
The students looked at their idols excitedly, shouting their names and almost carrying them home.
The movement outside quickly attracted the attention of the people inside, Chen Li'an listened to the noisy sound outside, and vaguely heard someone shouting the name of the Asian star player, and couldn't help frowning, no matter how the star chased to the art museum.
Chen Lian just wanted to open her mouth to let Li Xue go out to have a look, but suddenly remembered that Li Xue didn't come today.
Zhang Guorong took the initiative to say at this time: "I'll go out and have a look, it seems to be a player of the Asian star." ”
Chen Li'an just wanted to nod, then shook his head again and said, "No, you can't go, it's even more noisy when you go outside." ”
A group of top 12 Asian star players have made the star chasers outside crazy, and if Zhang Guorong goes out again, it will be repaid, and it is estimated that it will blow up directly.
Chen Li'an reluctantly walked outside the exhibition hall by himself, and as soon as he walked out, he saw the girls surrounded by a group of people.
The girls, who were at a loss, immediately threw their eyes for help after seeing the establishment of the case, but they didn't dare to call his name, with an expression of "you save me".
This pitiful appearance made Chen Li'an feel funny, and walked up to them and asked, "What's the situation?" ”
The appearance of Chen Li'an also made those crazy star-chasing people stop a little, and the students still know Chen Li'an.
At this time, Cai Yan took the initiative to say in proficient English: "Teacher Chen, we want to come to visit your art exhibition, but we didn't expect to be unable to buy a ticket, and then we were blocked here." ”
Chen Li'an couldn't cry or laugh, he really didn't know whether to welcome them to support him, or complain about them to make trouble for himself.
However, Cai Yan's performance was quite unexpected by him, and she deserved to be a top student.
Chen Li'an looked at them and waved helplessly and said, "You all come in with me." ”
The girls immediately became happy, with smiles on their faces, feeling that they had been rescued.
Although it was the big demon king who rescued them from the cute fans, there was no need to worry about anything going wrong.
The girls squeezed out of the crowd and followed Chen Li'an in, but they didn't dare to take the initiative to follow him.
Or Cai Yan, who had just accosted Chen Li'an, took the initiative to ask: "Teacher Chen, I'm sorry, we also thought that this situation would occur, you won't blame us, right?" ”
Chen Li'an said with a smile: "It's okay, you are welcome to support me, thank you." ”
If you smile sincerely, we will believe it, and the girls will shrink their necks and dare not speak.
Quan Baoer also glanced at Cai Yan with admiration, but she didn't expect that she would dare to take the initiative to talk to Chen Li'an.
Chen Li'an didn't have time to say anything to them at this time, it was about to be the time to start, and he was busy.
At this time, the sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the exhibition hall, forming a hazy white light on the black flannel.
Chen Li'an walked to the middle of the exhibition hall and stood in front of the device covered with the black flannel, and the entire exhibition hall instantly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Li'an's body.
Everyone is curious about what Chen Case's work looks like.
Almost every time Chen Li'an brings works that are different from those in the past, and each work is full of reflections on the times, human nature, and philosophy.
If there is anyone who is the first person in domestic installation art, it must be Chen Li'an, and even to a certain extent, there are few modern artists of the same era who have achieved such achievements as Chen Li'an.
Chen Li'an silently glanced around, looking at these brightly dressed artists and audiences, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the black flannel cloth and pulled it hard, exposing his work to everyone's eyes.
The blazing sunlight instantly shone on the huge installation in the middle of the exhibition hall, and the works were wrapped in gold leaf, instantly forming a golden reflection, and everyone subconsciously raised their hands to block their eyes.
When everyone got used to the light, they couldn't help but wonder when they looked at the device in front of them, a huge device that resembled a building and a pyramid, with gold leaf on it and emitting dazzling light.
Everyone couldn't understand why Chen Li'an would make such a work, and many artists couldn't help but whisper.
"Is Chen Li'an attacking consumerism or capital?"
"I don't feel like it, you see that the support points of this device are all small people of different shapes, huh? Is this made of candles? It feels like an expression of oppression and exploitation. ”
"No, no, no, I feel like a satire on modern society where people are slaves to money."
Chen Li'an listened to the whispers of these people and didn't speak, just quietly waiting for the fermentation of time.
Under the installation covered in gold leaf, the reflection caused by sunlight creates an intense light concentrated at the bottom of the installation.
The special materials that Chen Li'an was looking for before began to slowly undergo a chemical reaction, and gradually made a sizzling sound.
Wisps of green smoke began to float, and the people around couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this scene.
But Chen Li'an still stood calmly in front of the installation, and the commotion of the crowd saw that Chen Li'an was so calm, and gradually quieted down and began to observe the work quietly.
Many people saw the image of the candle figurines, who carried the whole building on their shoulders.
Soon, small flames were ignited with those special materials, which were not so big that they were not even as hot as the sun outside.
But under the scorching heat of these flames, those little people began to slowly change.
The small figures of various shapes began to melt slowly, and the whole device began to shake, but it was still far from collapsing.
The surrounding artists and art critics looked at the candle villains who were pinched by Chen Li'an into various low-level workers in society, and began to gradually understand Chen Li'an's creative intention and the theme of this work.
Among those little people are construction workers, there are postmen, there are sanitation workers, there are many, many people, and they occupy the vast majority of society, but they are the most inconspicuous part.
Very few people pay attention to them, and no one focuses on them, everyone is chasing the dazzling and shiny things.
The candle slowly melted under the scorching flame, and the white wax oil slowly flowed down along the groove that Chen Li'an had left a long time ago, as if the whole city was crying, but the tears shed were white.
At this time, the whole exhibition hall was extremely quiet, and everyone was shocked by this scene and was speechless.
The little man supporting the glittering edifice slowly melted, and the whole edifice began to crumble, collapsing abruptly as time went by!
The loudest noise brought everyone back to their senses from the shock, and everyone was silent as they watched the debris fall to the ground, the glittering edifice fell, and the little people who supported the edifice all melted into white tears.
Jiang Wen was also in shock at this time, but he had already done a good job of psychological construction, and immediately pushed the camera into the glowing fragments on the ground where he was shooting.
At the same time, he also turned the camera to the surrounding audience, recording the stunned, contemplation, and shock on their faces one by one.
When the camera swept over the girls of the Asian star, Jiang Wen deliberately stayed for a few seconds, because the shock on the faces of those girls made him find it funny.
Their eyes were full of incomprehension and shock, and it seemed strange that Chen Li'an would make such a work with depth and power.
Director Yang has been watching Chen Li'an make the whole work, and he knows what kind of effect this work will show in the end.
After the shock in his heart receded slightly, Director Yang took the initiative to take the lead in applauding.
The others also came back to their senses immediately, and the entire exhibition hall immediately burst into warm applause, so that everyone couldn't help but admire Chen Li'an's idea.
There was admiration in his eyes, but Chen Li'an stood there silently, he felt that these applause and honors should be given to those who paid silently under the scorching sun.
When the applause gradually subsided, Chen Li'an spoke: "This work does not belong to me, nor did it belong to me, nor did I create it, but it was created by the vast number of working people, and the applause and honor should belong to them."
I decided to set up a charity fund to set up a love station for those who work hard under the scorching sun, where they can rest, drink, eat, and do what they can. ”
Zhang Guorong heard Chen Li'an's words at this time and immediately said: "I will donate three million to your love fund!" ”
Chen Li'an turned his head to look at him, and saw that many people wanted to speak, so he immediately said: "Thank you for your kindness, but in order to ensure the openness, transparency and independence of the charity fund, I have decided not to accept donations from any channels and anyone." ”
It was very unexpected, everyone was surprised, I didn't expect Chen Li'an to be willing to donate while creating this work.
Originally, many people who had misunderstandings about Chen Li'an changed their views on Chen Li'an at this time.
The girls of the Asian star, as well as Akina Nakamori, who thought that Chen Li'an was a super scumbag, all changed their views on Chen Li'an at this time.
But no one noticed their reactions.
This was the end of Chen Li'an's art exhibition, but everyone did not leave immediately, but basked in the sun and watched the fragments on the floor that were still emitting golden light.
Without those things that support them, no matter how glorious they once were, there will be a day when they will collapse.
These people in the exhibition hall are still immersed in thinking and shock, and as the protagonist of this art exhibition, Chen Li'an has secretly hid and rested, and those art critics and reporters who want to arrest him for interviews have all pounced.
Chen Li'an is deliberately hiding, and if it is another type of work, he will definitely be interviewed. But this time, he wanted to focus on the work itself and the people behind the background.
He's just an ordinary artist, so what's there to brag about?
(The part of art is from large to small, from the era to the social individual, and this is the end, Chen Gou's artistic career can be regarded as brilliant, and it has officially come to an end!) The later part will focus on the career and the girl, and it won't end casually. )
