Chapter 110 108. Chen Li'an is Chen Li'an
In March, Paris has returned to spring, and the scenery is beautiful. Many cherry blossom trees have already bloomed pink buds.

You can see different beautiful scenery everywhere in the romantic city. Rivers, buildings and streets all show the unique charm here.

This city has many other names, such as the capital of art, the capital of romance, the capital of fashion, the city of flowers, the city of light...etc.

It seems that literature and art are deeply embedded in every brick, every green leaf and every flower bud.

Chen Li'an looked at the scenery outside the car window, full of expectations for the city.

"How is it? Do you like this place?" Ji Fa turned to look at Chen Li'an and Bai Qing and asked.

"Very good, I think this city is very suitable for me." Chen Li'an rolled down the car window and said, looking at the beautiful scenery and beauties on the street.

Bai Qing, who had just come out of the airport and hadn't fully recovered, didn't answer Ji Fa's question.

He was just resting on Chen Li'an's shoulder tiredly, not very interested in the scenery outside.

Back in her own country and her own city, Ji Fa talked a lot and introduced every street and landmark building she passed by to Chen Li'an.

"Over there is the Louvre. The artworks inside will amaze you. I hope that one day your works will also appear in it."

"The cherry blossoms here are not as beautiful as those under the Eiffel Tower in Paris."

"The Champs Elysees in this season is not as beautiful as in autumn..."

Jifa deliberately asked the driver to go around in a big circle, just to show the beauty of the city to friends from China.

After a while, Ji Fa suddenly looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "What is the first thing you think of when you think of France?"

"Napoleon..." Chen Li'an said lightly.

Ji Fa was a little surprised, and said helplessly, "You would think of a man? It's not romantic at all."

Chen Li'an thought for a while, and another word came to mind.

Rose de France!
In the 90s, no one can ignore this delicate rose.

Chen Li'an looked at the speechless Ji Fa and said, "Okay, I'll change it to French Rose."

Ji Fa was stunned when she heard it and asked, "Empress Josephine or Sophie Marceau?"

"Of course it's Sophie Marceau. She is a woman who can unify the aesthetics of the East and the West." Chen Li'an replied, curious about this rose.

Pull a random person in China and ask him which French star he knows, 90.00% of the people will answer Sophie Marceau.

The photo of Sophie Marceau in the 80s popular film magazine, pure and beautiful, she has directly become the goddess in the hearts of countless men.

Ji Fa was not surprised that Chen Li'an was talking about Sophie Marceau, but turned to look at Bai Qing who was dozing off, and asked with a smirk, "Aren't you afraid that Bai Qing will be jealous?"

"Of course not." Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa, who was deliberately provoking trouble, and said angrily: "Everyone has their own favorite star, it's normal."

"I didn't..." Bai Qing leaned on Chen Li'an's shoulder and closed his eyes.

Chen Li'an: "..."

"Haha... I didn't either!" Ji Fa laughed, seeing Chen Li'an's embarrassed face, she couldn't help but patted him on the head and said, "Never say that you like other women in front of a woman."

"You guys are so boring. I just like Sophie Marceau in the movie, and it has nothing to do with her." Chen Li'an turned his head and didn't bother to talk to the two women who deliberately embarrassed him.

Ji Fa raised the corner of her mouth and smiled and said in a low voice, "I hope you can still be so confident in two days."

Chen Li'an didn't hear what Ji Fa said clearly, turned his head and asked, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing." Ji Fa smiled, then looked out the car window and said, "We're here."

"Why don't you go to the hotel?" Chen Li'an asked looking at the villa in front of him.

"Staying in a hotel is too troublesome." Ji Fa took the luggage from the driver and said, "I don't have to pick you up every day if we live together."

Bai Qing also carried a suitcase, and said drowsily, "It doesn't matter where I live, I just want to have a good sleep now, can you take me to the room to rest."

The hard work for more than ten days in a row exhausted all of Bai Qing's energy, and now she just wants to sleep well for a few days.

Chen Li'an took the initiative to take the box from Bai Qing and Ji Fa, and said to Ji Fa, "Okay, let me see how your house is doing."

"I promise I won't let you down!" Ji Fa said with a smile, and ran to open the door. After opening the door, she turned and said to Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, "You are welcome to be our guests. When the exhibition is over, you can go to my winery for vacation. .”

What a little rich woman, she even has her own winery. Chen Li'an has a new understanding of Ji Fa's financial resources.

"You seem surprised?" After leading Chen Li'an in, Ji Fa said with a smile: "It's normal to have a winery in France, and it's just a small winery."

Normal you ghost... It's like Chen Li'an saying that it's normal for people in the capital to have several courtyard houses.

"After the exhibition is over, let's go to have fun together, just west of Bordeaux." Speaking of this Jifa said helplessly: "The wine merchants in Bordeaux often slander the wine there, but the wine there is actually very good."

"It's normal to do business." Chen Li'an said lightly.

"Maybe you can talk later, tell me where the bedroom is first." Bai Qing who followed behind couldn't help but interrupt.

Ji Fa quickly smiled and said, "I'll take you there now."

It was only after Ji Fa and Bai Qing went upstairs that Chen Li'an took a serious look at Ji Fa's house. There were decorative artworks everywhere in the room.

Oil paintings of different styles hung on the walls, and the ornaments beside the sofa were also sculptures. Chen Li'an also saw Chinese porcelain in a corridor, and several blue and white plates were hung on the wall as pendants.

What surprised Chen Li'an the most was that so many decorations with different styles were integrated very well by Ji Fa, without any sense of separation.

Ji Fa's artistic aesthetic is really amazing!Worthy of being an art manager.

You can't be an art manager without a certain degree of artistic accomplishment, and Ji Fa's professionalism in art has been certified in these decorations.

As for the commercial operation, it depends on whether the art exhibition can be successful after a few days.

Chen Li'an is looking forward to this, and wants to get more people's recognition for his works.

All art creators hope that others can understand their works, and Chen Li'an is no exception.

It's just that there are many arts that are not accepted and understood in the contemporary era. They are too advanced or the development of social civilization limits everyone's imagination and aesthetics.

Just like abstract works brought to the Middle Ages, no one will be able to understand and accept them.

Van Gogh was not understood at that time, and art also needs a certain context. If you detach yourself too much, you will not be able to understand it. After all, there is only one Van Gogh.

It is difficult to judge whether art is good or bad, because it is too high-brow, but food is not. People in the world of French food still recognize it.

The most important thing is that there are many choices of main dishes in French cuisine, almost catching up with a province in China, which made Chen Li'an a little confused about what to eat after looking at the menu.

Bai Qing, who had slept all afternoon, now had a good appetite, took the menu and quickly ordered what he wanted to eat, and Ji Fa also skillfully ordered what he wanted without even looking at the menu.

Chen Li'an made a choice after hesitation for a while. The appetizer chose smoked salmon and creamy soup, the main course chose honey sauce duck breast and fried foie gras, and the final dessert chose French brulee.

According to the habit of French cuisine, these dishes are estimated to take an hour to finish, and sometimes it is not good to be too particular.

To Chen Li'an, eating a meal for so long is no different from not eating at all, such a slow speed is not as fast as his digestion.

After finishing the last dessert, Chen Li'an wiped his mouth and said, "French food is not suitable for me."

Ji Fa looked at the clean plates eaten by Chen Li'an, rolled her eyes and said, "That's not what your stomach says."

"No, you misunderstood me. Today's dishes are all delicious." Chen Li'an touched his stomach and said, "It's just too slow. I'm still hungry."

Ji Fa: "." It's not romantic at all!Go back and eat stewed food!

"Haha. I knew you were not full." Bai Qing pushed the uneaten macaron in front of him to Chen Li'an and said, "Eat it."

Chen Li'an looked at the fresh and appetizing macarons and shook his head and said, "I don't want to eat so many sweets."

"Okay." Bai Qing took the macaron back and ate it by himself, not caring about Chen Li'an's life or death.

Ji Fa shook her head and said, "I'll send you to eat something else later. You should order an extra main course."

"I don't have experience this time, but I'll be fine next time." Chen Li'an didn't expect that the portion of an authentic French main course would be so small.

After eating French food, it is natural to go to see the beautiful scenery here, but Chen Li'an and the others are too busy now, and the preliminary preparations for the art exhibition have not been completed, so they don't have so much time to look at the scenery.

I just went to admire the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe at night after eating, and then I went back home to prepare for a good night's rest and start work tomorrow.

The venue of the art exhibition is the Cultural Center Hall of the Pompidou Center. This is the first time Chen Lian has come here. He was very curious about this prestigious modern art center, and once wanted to drop what he was doing to see this and A factory-like art center.

Seeing that Chen Li'an wanted to go out again, Ji Fa quickly grabbed him and said, "Can you finish your own work first! It will start the day after tomorrow!"

In the exhibition hall, the workers were installing the shelves according to Chen Li'an's requirements. Chen Li'an's role here was to oversee the work, and he was short of wearing a white hard hat.

Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa and said, "Now the workers are installing. I don't need to keep watching. I'll come back after I go and have a look, an hour at most!"

"No!" Ji Fa immediately refused, "This exhibition is very important! There must be no carelessness. You are not allowed to go anywhere until the end of the exhibition."

Seeing that the managers were furious, Chen Li'an could only accept his fate, shouldered his own responsibilities, and began to patrol the exhibition hall until the workers had installed all kinds of devices.

"This mirror is a little further to the left." Chen Li'an stood in the exhibition hall and said to the workers.

Ji Fa also immediately acted as an interpreter to translate Chen Li'an's words. Most of these workers could only speak French, and Chen Li'an could not speak French.
It's really troublesome, why can't the whole world speak Chinese!
After a busy day in the exhibition hall, at six o'clock in the evening, most of the installations in the exhibition hall were completed.
Looking at the workers packing up their things and leaving get off work on time, Chen Li'an couldn't tell whether he was in a capitalist society or in a capitalist society.
Well, that's good, it means that Chen Li'an can also get off work. The closing time of the Pompidou Art Center is [-] pm, so it's just right to come back after dinner.

Chen Li'an turned to look at Ji Fa and said, "Can I visit now?"

Ji Fa, who had been busy all day, waved to Chen Li'an tiredly and said, "Go, I want to eat a good meal, and then have a good sleep. I really envy Bai Qing who can rest at home."

"Okay!" Chen Li'an immediately ran happily to visit the art gallery.

The architecture of the Pompidou Center is very distinctive, especially at night, when the lights are lit up like a huge chemical factory building surrounded by colorful pipes and steel bars.

Chen Li'an walked in the long transparent passage, looking at this art palace that combines technology and art, he felt very complicated in his heart. When will there be such an art center in China, not the art center used for business like 798 .

There are many works of art collected here, and what Chen Li'an likes the most is Picasso's "Muse". The person painted is also his muse.

It's just that the muse in Picasso's works is too abstract and three-dimensional, and most people can't appreciate this kind of beauty. Chen Li'an didn't like Picasso's paintings at first, but later he thought more and more about art, and became more and more interested in Picasso's paintings. Like it more and more.

Painting is the artist's emotional expression. Chen Li'an looked at this painting for a long time, and really felt Picasso's mood at that time. The joy and excitement were accompanied by a trace of calmness and restraint.

At this time, Picasso was thinking about how to educate his children after they were born.
Chen Li'an left after watching it for a while, and it would be affected if he watched it for too long.

Every artist has his own style and artistic expression, and it would be bad to be influenced by other people.

After coming out of the "Chemical Factory", Chen Li'an found a restaurant at random. He didn't have to worry about dining etiquette and image, and had a very comfortable meal. The roast duck was very good, and the grilled fish was also very good!

On the second day, Chen Li'an was not so leisurely. The installation had not been completed yet, and all the works had to be arranged in advance today. Even if the workers got off work after six o'clock, Chen Li'an couldn't go shopping elsewhere.

After working until after nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Li'an was relieved after checking all the works twice.

"Finally done!"

Chen Li'an feels that arranging the exhibition hall is more tiring than painting, and he must find a professional curator in the future. Ji Fa is still not professional and caring enough.

Looking at the fully furnished exhibition hall and the hanging paintings, Ji Fa couldn't help but feel trembling in her heart. The impact and appeal of the paintings with the blessing of the installation are stronger.

"Li'an, you are really a genius, you will definitely become the next Picasso!"

Chen Li'an glanced at the empty exhibition hall, couldn't help but lit a cigarette and said, "Why do you want to become Picasso, Chen Li'an is Chen Li'an!"
