Chapter 116 114. The True Beauty of the French Rose

The art circle is really a small circle, and it is also a circle separated from the masses.

90.00% of the people in the world are not interested in art, only a small group of people are enthusiastic about art.

Among this small group of people, only [-]% really love art, as rare as giant pandas.

And it's not as likable as a giant panda...

Was the exhibition of Chen Li'an and Bai Qing a success?

very successful!

Got artistic reputation yet?

Won!
How many people know their names?

Hmm... the whole of Paris is estimated to have no more than 5000 people...

Even counting the people who came to visit the Pompidou Art and Culture Center, it will not exceed 2 people...

But if you want to say that Chen Li'an and Bai Qing are nobodies, then they are definitely not. It is far from celebrity actors to say that they are celebrities.

However, Chen Li'an and Bai Qing have taken the first step towards the grand goal of becoming famous in the art world.

At least the artists and art lovers in the art capital have heard the names of Chen Li'an and Bai Qing.

I know a pair of artists from China who are playing a very new art.

If I can do well in the future, I may become a master of modern art, but it will take time and more works to prove it.

Now we can only send them a floating red flag, crowned with the title of cutting-edge artist.

In Jifa's villa, Chen Li'an and Bai Qing sat on the sofa chatting with several art critics, all of whom were well-known columnists in art magazines.

Today I'm here for an interview... To be precise, I'm here for afternoon tea.

The various snacks and mellow coffee on the table, as well as Jifa's excellent communication skills, made this afternoon tea very enjoyable.

The topics discussed at the afternoon tea were nothing more than the artistic works of Chen Li'an and Bai Qing. Several critics were not very interested in the works themselves, but were more curious about the creative inspiration and background of Chen Li'an and Bai Qing's works.

"Why do you take the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River as a negative expression of the persecution of humanity." A blond woman asked seriously.

"Ms. Claus, that's not a purely negative expression, you can see it as a cruel good expectation." Chen Li'an's understanding of this point does not specifically refer to or narrowly define it as oppression.

Just like the good expectations of parents for their children, they will strictly teach their children. In this process, there will naturally be some less correct practices, which can also be seen as the oppression of children by patriarchy or motherhood.

There are many such examples... Everyone should have experienced it more or less.

But this is not a purely negative expression, that understanding is too narrow.

The few people sitting together heard Chen Li'an's answer and understood what he wanted to express.

Klaus pondered for a while, then scribbled down a sentence in his small notebook, then raised his head and looked at Chen Li'an and said: "Your vision and thinking are really broad, and your works have inspired me a lot. "

Ji Fa also said with a smile at this time: "Their works are full of dialectical thinking, and they never criticize or praise blindly. Everything is three-dimensional and multi-faceted."

Klaus nodded after hearing this, and said with considerable approval: "You are really international. Both the art medium and the concept are in line with the needs of international art. Few oriental artists have such potential."

This is considered a relatively high evaluation. Chen Li'an and Bai Qing looked at each other with a smile in their eyes.

The time for afternoon tea was not long, only one hour, but during this hour, the conversations of several people were very extensive. Chen Li'an and Bai Qing fully demonstrated their artistic accomplishment, which was quite recognized by several art critics.

An artist who wants to be famous and successful cannot do without these people and critics, just like word-of-mouth and ratings of movies.

It can't just be the box office, but the movie itself is scolded as a bad movie.

After finishing the afternoon tea and seeing off a few guests, Chen Li'an tugged at his neckline and said, "It's finally over, there shouldn't be any more in the next few days, right?"

"No more." Ji Fa also heaved a sigh of relief, lying on the sofa and said, "After these people speak up in the media for a few days, you and Bai Qing will have a firm foothold in the international art world."

It's really troublesome. Sitting next to him, Bai Qing feels like a star in the entertainment industry. Packaging and marketing make him famous and increase his salary.
"I want to go back to China." Bai Qing looked at the small snacks on the table and lost his appetite at all, he just wanted to go back to China and eat a roast duck.

Chen Li'an also turned his head to look at Bai Qing and said, "Then I'll be back in two days."

"Didn't you agree to go to my winery for vacation?" Ji Fa said a little depressed: "You can't leave me like this."

I would really go crazy here, Chen Lian talks about art with different people every day, it is too metaphysical, if I continue to stay here, Chen Lian worries that I will become crazy.

Chen Li'an sighed and said: "I find that frequent discussions on art can make people bored. It's time for some vulgar fun activities."

"Do you need me to make room for you?" Ji Fa rolled her eyes and said.

"Cough...cough cough..." Chen Li'an was shocked by Ji Fa's brain circuit, and said speechlessly: "Is your brain filled with butter! It's about to flow out!"

Ji Fa spread her hands and said, "It was you, a great artist, who first said that you want vulgar tastes."

Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa and explained with a teasing smile: "I mean, can you go to the bar for a drink, or some other pastimes, and don't always be floating in the clouds of art."

"This is a good idea. I also need to relax. I've been so busy recently." Ji Fa immediately took out the phone and said excitedly, "Let's have a party to celebrate our success!"

"do not want!"

Chen Li'an and Bai Qing yelled at the same time, stop Ji Fa's behavior, the party is too noisy, and social links cannot be avoided, it is a kind of torture!
Looking at Chen Li'an and Bai Qing who were overreacting, Ji Fa asked helplessly, "Then what do you want to do?"

"casual."

"Go to hell!"

An angry Ji Fa left Chen Li'an and Bai Qing at home in a fit of rage, and went out to be chic by herself. Before leaving, she also confessed that she could not return to China early. She had to sell the painting in the next few days and completed all the transactions before she could release it. They leave.

The trip to France is basically over here, the art exhibition is over, and the works have found buyers, so there is not much point in staying here.

Wait for Ji Fa to finish all the formalities and get the money before returning home.

But before that, Chen Li'an had to go to Sophie Marceau to put an end to this romantic encounter.

Chen Li'an is also very curious about what Sophie Marceau said about showing her full beauty. I hope she will not be disappointed.

There are many fine wines in France. Chen Li'an carefully selected a red wine, bought a bouquet of beautiful roses, and came to Sophie Marceau's high-end apartment.

Jingle~
After the doorbell rang twice, Sophie Marceau trotted open the door, and a beautiful bouquet of roses came into her eyes. She took the roses in surprise and looked at Chen Li'an who was outside the door and offered a sweet kiss.

The French are really polite!Chen Li'an was very grateful for Sophie Marceau's hospitality.

However, after the kiss between Chen Li'an and Sophie Marceau ended, he noticed that Sophie Marceau was dressed very casually tonight, simply wrapped in a large nightgown.

"I came too early?" Chen Li'an asked with a smile.

Sophie Marceau smiled mysteriously. After pulling Chen Li'an in, she turned her head and said with a smile, "No, it's too late, I can't wait."

Speaking of Sophie Marceau's nightgown, she fell off naturally, and her fair and sexy body was extremely beautiful under the ambiguous light. Only then did Chen Li'an know what Sophie Marceau meant by showing her full beauty.

"Rose Maiden. How about this theme? I always wanted to record my best side while I was young." Sophie Marceau took one of the roses given to her by Chen Li'an and said seriously : "But you know I'm a star, it's hard to guarantee that I'll meet someone who keeps my mouth shut."

"Thank you for your trust." Chen Li'an could understand Sophie Marceau's worry. This is French Rose, the dream goddess in the hearts of many men.

Perhaps Chen Li'an gave Sophie Marceau the impression that she was a conservative person, plus she was a Chinese, so she chose to show her beauty in front of Chen Li'an and let Chen Li'an draw it.

Chen Li'an folded his hands, propped his chin with his right hand, walked around Sophie Marceau and said, "It's really beautiful, you're right, it's a pity not to record this scene."

Sophie Marceau turned around like a dancing elf, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Then shall we start?"

"No problem." Chen Li'an immediately got into the mood, walked to the easel that had been prepared a long time ago, and began to prepare.

Sophie Marceau, holding a rose in her hand, posed a seductive pose on the white wool blanket of the sofa.

Fortunately, Chen Li'an devoted himself wholeheartedly when creating, otherwise, facing such a beautiful picture, he really couldn't calmly pick up the pen.

Sophie Marceau looked at Chen Li'an without a trace of obscenity in her eyes, and her trust in Chen Li'an increased a lot in her heart. This is what an artist is.

Sophie Marceau's appeal is to record her own beauty. Naturally, Chen Li'an can only choose a super-realistic painting method. Such a painting method is a waste of energy and time. Chen Li'an may have to waste time here before returning to China.

Chen Li'an is not very proficient in hyper-realistic paintings. He only painted twice, one for Mr. Zhou and one for Gong Li. This is the third time.

Every time it is for a female star, it is really a strange fate.
Hyper-realistic painting tests the artist's concentration and skills. Chen Li'an has no problem with concentration, but he is not yet mature enough to inspire kindness, so the painting is very slow.

Chen Li'an's hands are very steady, and the brush draws little by little on the canvas, every time he draws the brush, he is very careful.

Time is slowly passing by, and a beautiful figure slowly appears on the blank canvas, but it is not detailed enough, but it has a hazy beauty.

Chen Li'an flicked his sore wrists, looking at Sophie Marceau who was already asleep on the sofa, he felt that he was working for nothing.

However, this process still makes Chen Lian enjoy it very much. Painting is really a very happy thing, just like Chen Lian likes acting.

Chen Li'an is excited every time he puts himself into a role, that kind of happiness comes from the bottom of his heart, and he is happier than making money.

After a short rest, Chen Li'an picked up the brush and continued without waking up Sophie Marceau who was sleeping on the sofa.

Time is slowly passing by, and the colors on the screen are getting more and more, but it is still far away from completion.

When it was bright outside, Chen Li'an put down the pen in his hand, shook his sore neck, and couldn't help yawning.

Sophie Marceau on the sofa slowly opened her eyes, saw that it was dawn, and turned to look at Chen Li'an who was still sitting in front of the easel, only then realized that Chen Li'an had been painting all night.

Sophie Marceau hugged her chest to cover her chest, stood up from the sofa, looked at the yawning Chen Li'an and said apologetically, "I'm sorry I fell asleep, you should wake me up."

"It's okay, the sleeping rose is also beautiful." Chen Li'an rubbed his temples and said, "However, I need to rest for a while before I can continue."

Sophie Marceau bent down and pulled Chen Li'an up and said, "Just rest here, do you want breakfast?"

"I don't want to eat, I just want to sleep." Chen Li'an couldn't help yawning.

Sophie Marceau nodded slightly, pulled Chen Li'an and said, "Then follow me."

Chen Li'an didn't want to eat breakfast. Sophie Marceau had a good night's sleep, but she ate a hearty breakfast and forced Chen Li'an to finish breakfast together before letting him go to rest.

Looking at Chen Li'an's sleeping face, Sophie Marceau couldn't help but raised her finger and slid across his face, a little amazed at his beauty.
Men can also use the word beautiful to describe it. Sophie Marceau is a little lost. Why can’t she paint? If I can also record Chen Li’an’s beauty, I can use it to appreciate and recall this beauty when I get old. time.

Sophie Marceau moved her fingers away from Chen Li'an's face, stood up and hesitated for a moment, then ran out and came back with a camera.

I can't draw but can take pictures. Although it's not that artistic, it's enough for recording.
Teacher Sophie Marceau's photography skills are so-so, completely incomparable with Chen Li'an, but Chen Li'an's super good looks still make up for the effect of the final product to a certain extent.

Mr. Chen, who was sleeping soundly, didn't realize that one day he would be the protagonist under other people's cameras. I hope there won't be any shocking events in the future.

In the following ten days, Chen Li'an was basically painting except for his rest time, and he worked intensively for more than ten hours every day. This was the first time that he created a work with such high intensity for such a long time.

Knowing the last time to leave, Chen Li'an finally finished the painting, a hyper-realistic painting was finally completed.

However, Chen Li'an's hyper-realism is still much worse than that perverted Leng Jun's, but there is no way, time and skills do not allow Chen Li'an to draw so finely.

For this reason, Chen Li'an still used some hazy processing effects in the end, but this showed the beauty of Sophie Marceau better to a certain extent.

Being too realistic may not be suitable for everyone. A beautiful woman like Sophie Marceau, the dream lover in the hearts of countless men, is better to be dreamy.

Sophie Marceau was also very satisfied with Chen Li'an's words. When the painting was finished, she couldn't help hugging Chen Li'an's neck and dancing around happily. Chen Li'an also cooperated with a smile. dancing on the carpet
This dance also drew a perfect end to Chen Lian's art trip this time, and he will return to China to continue rolling in the entertainment circle.
