Chapter 263 261. Ji Fa's Rhapsody: I ​​want to monopolize modern art!

The morning sun was particularly glaring, shining directly through the torn curtains.

In his sleep, Chen Li'an frowned and opened his eyes. He turned his head and glanced at the curtains that were pulled down by the princess last night, recalling the scene of last night in his mind.

The concubine's physical fitness is still not suitable for hanging, but she is quite strong, and the curtains are torn.

Chen Li'an got up from the bed, looked at the sleeping princess, didn't wake her up, got dressed and left after washing up.

Take advantage of the few people in the morning and hurry up, in case there are paparazzi squatting outside, it will be bad.

After Chen Li'an slipped away from the back door of the villa, he went straight to the Peninsula Hotel. Ji Fa called him several times last night.He didn't answer Ji Fa's call until after the exercise.

Thinking of Ji Fa angrily scolding him for more than ten minutes last night, Chen Li'an felt a headache, and bought a bouquet of flowers when passing by a flower shop.

I hope to appease Ji Fa's violent temper.

Chen Li'an came outside Ji Fa's room, rang the doorbell and waited for 2 minutes before the door opened from the inside.

Ji Farah, with messy hair, opened the door and was about to curse, when she saw Chen Li'an handing a bouquet of white roses in front of her.

Ji Fa's anger of getting up was immediately dispelled by the beautiful rose. She took the rose and sniffed it lightly. She frowned before letting go, glanced at Chen Li'an who was smiling all over her face, and then moved away from her seat.

Chen Li'an came in with a smile and closed the door. There is no better way to deal with French women than Rose.

The room Ji Fa lived in was very luxurious, but it was messy inside, with clothes thrown everywhere. Chen Li'an also saw Ji Fa's close-fitting underwear thrown on the sofa.

Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa who was wrapped in a nightgown and put the roses on the table, and couldn't help bending down to clean up the clothes and high heels on the floor.

Why is a big beauty not particular at all, Chen Li'an shook his head while tidying up.

Ji Fa sat on the sofa with her legs crossed and looked at Chen Li'an. Her dazed mind gradually became clear, and she couldn't help but choked up, "Why didn't you answer my phone last night? Why didn't you pick me up?"

"Busy." Chen Li'an casually said something perfunctory, then changed the subject and asked, "Has Bai Qing returned to the capital?"

"Well, I know I care about Bai Qing." Ji Fa couldn't help poking her lips, patted the sofa and said to Chen Li'an, "Come here, I have something to tell you."

After Chen Li'an arranged Ji Fa's high-heeled shoes, he walked over to look at her and said, "I don't plan to sell this series of works. Selling them to collectors will only eat ashes in the vault. I want my works to be seen by more people." arrive."

"If you really don't think about it, this time it can be sold for at least 200 million US dollars, and you can almost see the taillights of top masters." Ji Fa couldn't help but persuade.

Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "If you don't sell it, don't persuade me."

"Then I didn't come here for nothing!" Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an angrily.

Chen Li'an glanced at her with some embarrassment and said, "I didn't ask you to come either."

"Stop talking!" Ji Fa pushed Chen Li'an down, sat on him and said, "Anyway, I can't come in vain!"

Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa with his nightgown loose, and couldn't help but swallowed. He didn't know whether to be sad or excited.

It's so hard for a man!If you don't earn money for women, you have to be humiliated like this!

Chen Li'an shed white tears of grief and indignation, messing with Ji Fa.
Ji Fa wiped her body with her slender fingers, squeezed the sticky tears with her fingers, turned her head to look at Chen Li'an, who was emptying out, and asked, "Are you really planning to sell?"

"Do not sell!"

"Then what's going on with your art space, tell me."

"You are interested in?"

"Of course, as long as it can make money related to art, I'm interested!"

"."

Ten minutes later, Ji Fa, who was soaking in the bathtub, listened to Chen Li'an's words, thought for a while and said, "Then why didn't you look for me in the first place, you should have brought Bernard along."

Chen Li'an shaved his beard and said, "I didn't think so much at first, I just thought about making installation art, and then I gradually came up with so many ideas."

Ji Fa couldn't help but give Chen Li'an a blank look. After soaking in the water for a while, she stood up from the bathtub and said to Chen Li'an seriously, "I want to invest!"

"Investing in shares?" Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa in surprise and said, "But this risk is still quite high, and your gallery may not be able to earn as much."

"According to your original idea, it will definitely not work, but you can learn from Givenchy! Don't just focus on artworks, luxury goods are also art!"

"Isn't that Teacher Chen?"

Chen Li'an didn't want to be a luxury product, nor did he want to be a trendy brand, he just wanted to be a work of art.

The works of artists are rarely exhibited on suitable platforms, and they are too niche and closed.

Chen Li'an just wants to make artworks more popular, so that more people can understand art and own art.

With so many artists in China, most of their works are in the ashes at home, and it is basically impossible to sell them without professional galleries and art managers.

What Chen Li'an wants to do is to be different from the art trading platform of the gallery, and the art no longer costs tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions.

90.00% of artists do not have that kind of talent, and their works are not worthy of packaging and marketing by galleries and art managers.

But it would be a pity if those works were buried, so Chen Li'an thought of turning it into a "little art supermarket".

It is different from traditional cheap handicrafts, and is more friendly to the people than those expensive works of art, so there is still a market.

The petty bourgeoisie and the middle class will like these things very much. Compared with handicrafts, a few works of art at home are more stylish.

The price will not be too outrageous, and you can afford it with a bite of thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.

Moreover, works of art are unique, unlike mass-produced luxury bags, and no one can guarantee whether these works of art will appreciate in the future.

In case that artist becomes famous in the future, wouldn't the purchases be doubled?

It can also be regarded as an alternative investment, and it can also be regarded as an open blind box.

While the petty bourgeoisie can't afford to invest in the real estate market and can't buy stocks, they also have one more investment option. Art investment is also a good choice.

Moreover, Chen Li'an plans to find a way to launch two artists in the first year to create an advertising effect.

Ji Fa, who had just finished blowing her hair in the room, seriously persuaded Chen Li'an to accept her suggestion and let herself become a shareholder.

"With my joining, I can help you connect with more new artists to join in, constantly add new blood, and I can also help you cultivate truly great artists."

Ji Fa suddenly stood up and looked at Chen Li'an and said seriously: "If we do well, we can even monopolize the works of most new artists! This will affect the entire modern art trading market!"

Thinking of this, Ji Fa couldn't help getting excited. Although the idea was crazy and unrealistic, it was very exciting to think about it!
Ji Fa suddenly thought of the classic strategy of China's Anti-Japanese War, encircling the city from the countryside!
Bypassing the top ten auction houses and controlling artworks from the bottom, one day it will be able to indirectly affect the entire art trading market!

However, Ji Fa was just thinking about it. The water in the art trading market was deep, so how could it be so easy to deal with.

Looking at the excited Ji Fa, Chen Li'an didn't think too much about it, and he didn't think it was possible to reach the height Ji Fa said.

He was just seriously thinking about the possibility of Ji Fa becoming a shareholder. He felt that if too many people participated, it might be very troublesome in the future.

There will always be various troubles when starting a business with friends, even if the interests and responsibilities are clearly defined from the beginning.

However, if a professional like Ji Fa joins in, Chen Li'an is indeed very excited. Although his own method is very different from the art transaction, he also needs the help of an art manager.

Ji Fa and Cheng Shufen are very complementary, one is for ordinary people and the other is for high-end customers.

Chen Li'an was really moved when he thought about it. With Ji Fa joining him, he could be a hands-off shopkeeper.

Wang Zuxian is also helping to watch over the usual operations, which is perfect.

Chen Li'an hesitated for a while, looked at Ji Fa and said, "It's not impossible, but I still have two partners, and I need to ask their opinions."

"I have the confidence to convince them!" Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an and said seriously.

Chen Li'an nodded and said, "Okay, let's meet and chat today."

"no problem!"

Chen Li'an asked Cheng Shufen and Wang Zuxian to come to the peninsula to meet,

While waiting for Wang Zuxian and Cheng Shufen to come over, Ji Fa was still talking about luxury goods with Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an hummed a few times in disinterest. He didn't like luxury goods, especially those foreign luxury goods and industrial products.

How can it be considered a luxury, a steel ball bracelet can sell for 1 yuan, isn't this a fool.

Domestic worthless woven bags cost thousands of dollars each.
It has nothing to do with art or fashion, and putting up a brand becomes a luxury.

The real luxury still depends on the domestic handicrafts, that is the unique luxury.

But the only bad thing is that the aesthetic progress of domestic handicrafts is too slow and too conservative, blindly pursuing retro, it is difficult to be liked by modern people.

Such a good craftsmanship was lost because it could not be sold and made no money.

It's a pity to think about it. They should be assigned a few designers. Master craftsmen really only know how to craft, so it's outrageous!

Chen Li'an has met a bamboo weaving master who is excellent in weaving skills, but he doesn't know how to design, and the things he weaves are not very good-looking, and the things can't be sold.

It's a pity to think about it.

Amidst Ji Fa's chirping, Chen Li'an's thoughts drifted away for a long time, and he didn't come back to his senses until he heard the familiar footsteps.

"Here we come." Chen Li'an looked at Wang Zuxian and Cheng Shufen who were walking together and turned to Ji Fa.

Ji Fa nodded and said to Chen Li'an, "I'll talk to them in person later, just don't talk."

"So confident?" Chen Li'an looked at her strangely, not understanding why she was so confident.

Ji Fa proudly raised her chin and said, "I'm better at dealing with women than you are!"

Chen Li'an: "." Who do you look down on!Have the ability to compare!
However, Chen Li'an did not add anything in the subsequent conversation, it just played a role in helping them introduce each other at the beginning.

Bored, Chen Li'an threw a cube of sugar into the coffee cup. Seeing the beaming Ji Fa trying to fool Cheng Shufen and Wang Zuxian, he felt that she was more suitable for MLM.

Being an art manager is really a waste of talent.

Chen Li'an took a sip of the already sweet coffee, looked around boredly, and suddenly saw Zhang Guorong and Sunglasses King.

"Could it be Happy Together?" Chen Li'an couldn't help muttering, a little worried that Zhang Guorong would still accept this film.

The movie is a good movie, but Zhang Guorong was infected with the virus when he went to shoot. Later, after it was released in Xiangjiang, it was badly criticized by the gossip media, and even humiliated in public at the Academy Awards.

Thinking of this, Chen Li'an couldn't help standing up and walking towards Zhang Guorong and Sunglass King.

Wang Zuxian, who was listening to Ji Fa talking about the business plan, noticed that she sat up slightly and looked towards the direction Chen Li'an was walking towards.

Cheng Shufen and Ji Fa also noticed it and turned their heads to look over.

Seeing that it was Zhang Guorong and the Queen of Sunglasses, Cheng Shufen took the initiative to say: "The Wang family has a new movie to shoot, and I have an appointment with Guorong here today."

Wang Zuxian let out an oh, and then looked away, but Cheng Shufen's next words made her a little worried.

Cheng Shufen looked at Chen Li'an's back and said, "It's a same-sex movie. I heard that Liang Chaowei was rejected. Now Li'an didn't know if Wang Jiawei would like it. He even asked me about Li'an before."

"Huh?" Wang Zuxian immediately sat up straight and said, "No!"

Wang Zuxian had filmed Wang Jiawei's films and knew his filming routines, so she was a little worried about Chen Li'an and Zhang Guorong.

These two people usually have a very good relationship, if they make same-sex movies together again, if there is any relationship, it will be over!
Ji Fa also understood, and said indifferently: "Li'an doesn't know how to act in this kind of movie. I heard from him that a director asked him to act in this kind of subject before."

Hearing Ji Fa's words, Wang Zuxian heaved a sigh of relief, but Cheng Shufen said with a smile: "But this time it's not necessarily, he and Guo Rong have such a good relationship, maybe he will agree."

As soon as Wang Zuxian heard this, she couldn't sit still immediately, she stood up and went to stop this terrible thing from happening.

But Cheng Shufen grabbed her.

"Don't make trouble in the past. I was just joking. You know the characters of the two of them. They won't make this kind of movie together."

"What if!"

"No case!"

Cheng Shufen didn't want the two of them to act in this kind of movie, it was too dangerous, but she also knew in her heart that Chen Li'an and Zhang Guorong would not make this kind of movie together.

Before Chen Li'an on the other side came to Zhang Guorong, Zhang Guorong saw him, sat lazily on the sofa, looked at him and said, "Why are you here?"

"Come over to talk about things, I saw you here and came over to say hello." After finishing speaking, Chen Li'an glanced at Sunglass King and asked, "If you don't mind me sitting down."

Wang Jiawei looked at Chen Li'an who was standing next to Zhang Guorong, and a lot of inspiration came to his mind unconsciously. These two people sat and stood, one was lazy and the other was a little serious, an inexplicable match.

The most important thing is that the feeling between them gave Wang Jiawei a very strange feeling, not like ordinary friends.

Wang Jiawei sat up silently, and said to Chen Li'an: "I want to make a movie with you!"

Chen Li'an: "." I still wanted to abduct Zhang Guorong away, but you got your idea on me first? !
