Chapter 114 112. Ji Fa's Responsibility

Paris is really beautiful and full of enthusiasm. Chen Li'an has been here for a few days, and last night was the deepest experience.

French roses are really delicate and charming, but the flowering period of roses is very short. People like Chen Li'an who are greedy for beauty always spend time waiting for it to bloom again if they want to appreciate it to the fullest.

But compared with the intoxicating rose, all the waiting is worth it.

Of course, just admiring it is not enough, Chen Li'an has to record this beauty.

Sophie Marceau, who was wearing a red dress, was sitting on the sofa, looking at Chen Li'an, who had become pious and focused again, and couldn't help but think that word in her heart. The contrast is really contrasting!

Why Men Who Seem Reserved Get So... Romantic And Passionate After Drinking!
Last night, Sophie Marceau originally thought that she should take the initiative by herself, but who would have thought that in the end, she could only let the rain blow away like a rose that was destroyed by the rainstorm.
But last night was really wonderful, people can't help being fascinated, looking forward to the next time.
Chen Li'an didn't know what Sophie Marceau was thinking, all his thoughts were on the painting, on the paintbrush in his hand, he was a very focused person, and he devoted [-]% of his energy to what he had to do.

The painted Sophie Marceau on the canvas has a touch of sadness and thought in her eyebrows and eyes, but she is wearing a red dress against the gray-blue background, which is extraordinarily powerful, like a ruby ​​that no one can touch .

Chen Li'an had spent seven or eight hours on this painting, and Sophie Marceau had rested several times, but Chen Li'an sat in front of the easel and never left.

At the end of the painting, the role of the model can be ignored, and Sophie Marceau doesn’t have to sit there all the time, but every time she rests, she will sit back again, so that Chen Li’an can see herself and herself. He paints seriously.

Beauty is mutual appreciation.
In the evening, Chen Li'an looked at the painting in front of him, finally put down his brush, and couldn't help stretching.

It took more than ten hours to finish the painting, and there is still a big gap between myself and Picasso!
"Did you finish the painting?" Sophie Marceau stood up from the sofa, walked to Chen Li'an and looked at the finished painting, with thoughtful eyes, silently looking at herself in the painting.

At this moment, her feeling was very strange. The self in the painting had a delicate beauty, and the red dress on her body was like a deadly poppy, which was extraordinarily alluring, but the bright red color was incomparable to the whole gray-blue background. With a holy taste.

In particular, the distorted lines in the gray-blue background are like magic claws that pull people into the abyss, wanting to drag themselves into hell but can't bear to touch themselves.

"Do you like it?" Chen Li'an looked at the pensive Sophie Marceau and asked.

Sophie Marceau didn't answer Chen Li'an's question as if she was completely attracted by the painting.

No answer is the best answer. Chen Li'an didn't care about Sophie Marceau's state. He touched his empty stomach and felt that he was very hungry now, so he turned around to look for something to eat.

It's really surprising that the bread at Sophie Marceau's home is not a baguette!It's a soft and delicious macaron.

Chen Li'an took a piece of pink macaron and put it in his mouth. It was fragrant, soft and delicious.

After eating a few in one breath, Chen Li'an felt that his stomach was not so uncomfortable. He turned his head to look at Sophie Marceau, only to find that she was still looking at the painting, as if she had been cast with a holding spell.

Tang Seng didn't read Buddhist scriptures so seriously, did he?
Chen Li'an is very satisfied with the devotion and devotion of this young French literary and artistic woman, and being appreciated by others is always something to be happy about.

How many people can achieve the state of not being happy with things but not sad with oneself?

People are emotional animals, they all need affirmation and appreciation, and there is no shame in facing one's own desires and desires.

But it's getting late now, and the call records on the phone are reminding Chen Li'an that he should leave.

Although Chen Li'an didn't want to disturb Sophie Marceau, he still said to her, "Sophie, I'm leaving. Ji Fa has already urged me several times."

Sophie Marceau was awakened by Chen Li'an's voice, stood up and looked at him with complicated eyes and said, "Okay."

"Goodbye!" Chen Li'an waved at Sophie Marceau, turned around and left without a parting hug or tenderness.

Seeing Chen Li'an's back was about to disappear at the door, Sophie Marceau suddenly ran over and shouted, "When are you leaving Paris?"

Chen Li'an, who just opened the door, turned to look at her and said, "Next month."

"Then can you draw another picture for us?" Sophie Marceau asked while looking at Chen Li'an expectantly while holding the front with one hand.

Faced with Sophie Marceau's request, Chen Li'an was a little entangled. He didn't like repetition, and he didn't want to draw a person many times.

After being silent for a while, Chen Li'an shook his head, and just about to refuse, Sophie Marceau said quickly: "I know you don't like repetition, so I will show my other side, which will surprise you."

Hearing this, Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows lightly, thought for a while and said, "Okay, wait until I finish my work."

After hearing Chen Li'an's promise, Sophie Marceau immediately smiled, looked at Chen Li'an who had become "conservative" again, stepped forward and hugged her neck, kissed his face and said: "Thank you, from the East. Man, you should be as wild and passionate as you were last night, that was charming."

Chen Li'an raised his mouth slightly, looked at Sophie Marceau and said, "This is the charm of oriental men, isn't it?"

After speaking, Chen Li'an and Sophie Marceau hugged each other lightly, and then left.
No matter how good the roses are, you can't delay your business. I came to Paris not to enjoy flowers, but to art!

But the rose de France is really beautiful!
Sitting in the taxi, Chen Li'an looked at the scenery outside the car window, and suddenly wondered whether there are many roses in France
Bah bah bah!Chen Li'an!How can a man be fooled by wine and sex!

Chen Li'an, who regained his strength, began to think about the reception that Ji Fa prepared tonight.

This is to help Chen Li'an and Bai Qing get into the attention of art collectors.

Chen Li'an was not very interested in this kind of reception, and neither was Bai Qing.

Looking at himself in a dress in the mirror, Bai Qing was not used to it, and felt that this kind of thing had no merit except a little exaggeration.

Ji Fa couldn't help but praised: "Bai Qing, you are so beautiful, this dress suits you very well."

Bai Qing dragged the long skirt and said, "I don't think so, it's not me at all."

Ji Fa walked behind Bai Qing and supported her smooth shoulders, couldn't help rubbing her fingers lightly and said: "I know you like to be relaxed and free. Although the dress is cumbersome and heavy, it is a business card to show yourself. In some cases it is essential."

Bai Qing, who was all focused on the dress, didn't notice Ji Fa's small movements, and frowned and said, "Does it have to be like this?"

"Yes, dear, work hard." Ji Fa tilted her head and put it on Bai Qing's shoulder, looking at her in the mirror and said.

"Well, I hope it's only this time." Bai Qing said helplessly.

Chen Li'an on the other side had just changed into layer after layer of dresses, and felt that he was bound by the damn clothes. Ji Fa bought the clothes too small!
If I knew it earlier, I would have ordered it. Unfortunately, I was too anxious this time and didn't have time to order a suit.

Some tight clothes were worn on Chen Li'an, without any artistry, but like a thug in a suit.

The slim suit showed Chen Li'an's figure perfectly, and the wide shoulders and narrow waist looked very sexy.

A look like this is sure to attract a lot of female art collectors tonight
Chen Li'an suddenly realized in his mind, could this be Ji Fa's plot!The size I gave is obviously correct, why did I buy it too small!

Damn Ji Fa!He even planned to let himself betray his hue!
Thinking of this, Chen Li'an immediately opened the door, wanting to see what kind of dress she prepared for Bai Qing.

After coming outside the room, Chen Li'an stared blankly at Bai Qing who was wearing a dress, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ji Fa had a good idea of ​​a very conservative and decent dress.

When Ji Fa saw Chen Li'an coming out, she immediately ran over in surprise, and couldn't help exclaiming, "Li'an, I didn't expect you to look so good in a suit, but why do you feel a little small?"

Looking at Ji Fa's slight frown, Chen Li'an wondered if he was thinking too much, and his clothes were a little tight because of eating too much recently?
Looking at Chen Li'an's bulging suit, Ji Fa couldn't help swallowing, stretched out his hand and pretended to smooth Chen Li'an's clothes, and said seriously and attentively: "It's a little wrinkled here, but it's still a little small. Don't make big moves."

Chen Li'an looked down at Ji Fa who was groping around his chest, couldn't help but tapped her on the head and said, "Have you touched enough?"

"Ah!" Ji Fa covered her head and raised her head to look at Chen Li'an and complained, "You're so petty, you're not a gentleman at all!"

Does a gentleman just let you touch it casually?Chen Li'an gave Ji Fa an angry look, and then asked, "What is the purpose of the reception tonight?"

Ji Fa rubbed her head before saying, "Of course, I want to get to know the collectors in advance. After the Venice Biennale in June, we will participate in the summer auction."

Chen Li'an nodded and looked at Ji Fa and asked, "Should we get to know each other in advance, or operate secretly in advance?"

Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Ji Fa was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "You even know this? But you are right to understand it this way. The value of a work of art does not lie in the art itself. You should understand this truth."

Chen Li'an sighed helplessly and said, "Of course I understand, but why don't you let Bai Qing and I participate in such an occasion?"

"Don't worry, you don't need to intervene in these matters." Ji Fa patted Chen Li'an on the shoulder and said, "Just make a mascot tonight, and leave the other things to me. I promise to sell one of your paintings." good price."

Bai Qing stood behind them, listening to these conversations, couldn't help sighing in his heart, how could such a good art become like this, the smell of copper is too strong!
Anything that is linked to business will not be pure. This is something that cannot be avoided. Chen Li'an can understand it, but he doesn't want to get involved, so he looked at Ji Fa and said, "It doesn't matter what price you sell, the important thing is not to get involved in some Go to something illegal."

Seeing Chen Li'an's serious expression, Ji Fa smiled and patted him on the chest lightly and asked, "Are you concerned about me?"

"Well, I don't want to change another manager someday." Chen Li'an said lightly.

Ji Fa nodded slightly, and assured her earnestly, "Okay, don't worry, I'm a serious art dealer, and I won't get involved in those things."

"That's the best."

The reception at night was very private, no different from what Chen Lian imagined, but he was tired of dealing with every collector who came to talk to him, discussing various modern art with them.

Bai Qing was very smart at this time, pretending that his English was not good, and he seldom spoke, fully fulfilling the due duties of a mascot.

Holding a glass of red wine, Bai Qing looked at the brightly dressed people full of various arts, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. Art is just a decoration for these people, and some of these people are pure arts What about collectors?

Artists really shouldn't get involved in such occasions, it will make an artist lose his original intention and get lost in the feasting and feasting.

Chen Li'an could feel Bai Qing's emotions, and lightly patted her on the back and said in Chinese: "Don't think so much."

"En." Bai Qing took a sip of wine and said lightly, then turned to look at Chen Li'an and said, "Are you going out tonight?"

Chen Li'an shook his head, looked at the irritability in Bai Qing's eyes, gently grabbed her hand and said, "I won't go out tonight."

"Well, let's go back early later, I miss you." Bai Qing held Chen Li'an's hand behind his back, with a little force, as if he had accumulated a lot of emotions in his heart and wanted to vent.

This trip to Paris did not make Bai Qing feel the feeling of being famous and recognized for many achievements, but felt a little lost in his heart. This art capital is different from what he imagined.

Maybe it was because Ji Fa had told her a lot about the inside story of the art transaction, or maybe it was because she was tired of dealing with all kinds of strange problems, in short, she had accumulated a lot of emotions in her heart and needed to release them.

Looking at Ji Fa who was still talking with others, Chen Li'an gently held Bai Qing's hand and said, "Wait for me a while, I'll go and talk to Ji Fa."

"Okay." Bai Qing put down the wine glass in his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

Chen Li'an nodded, came to Ji Fa's side, greeted the people she was communicating with, clinked glasses and took a sip, then turned to Ji Fa and said, "Ji Fa, Bai Qing feels a little uncomfortable, I have to go first Send her back."

Ji Fa paused, turned to look at Bai Qing in the distance, then nodded lightly and said: "Okay, you can send her back first, and leave the rest to me."

"It's hard work." Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa and said gratefully.

Ji Fa shook her head, and said softly, "This is my duty, you guys go back, remember not to throw your clothes away."

Chen Li'an: "."
