The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 68 This Minotaur is super handsome!

……

In the end, Liu Yifei was unable to snatch the favor from her younger sister.

The painting belongs to Lisa.

Because Lisa gave her a reason that she couldn't refute.

"You take this painting back, and at most you will look at it alone. I'm different. I will frame it and hang it in the best place in my gallery."

"That way, everyone can see it."

"My artistic idol says he can't be a painter, but I don't think so... I want to hang all his paintings in my gallery as a silent confession of my love for him."

"Let him know how much I love and adore him."

Really satisfied.

My good sister Lisa became a fangirl overnight.

Faced with Lisa's shameless declaration, Liu Yifei had nothing to say.

Because, Lisa gave another reason and said with a smile: "How about this? You give it to me this time, and next time, if he throws away any paintings, I will definitely collect them and leave them to you."

That's not bad.

Liu Yifei agreed with a smile.

Although Liu Yifei herself does not have a natural talent for painting, she has hired several capable teachers in the industry, and she believes that her appreciation level is quite good.

She thinks Lu Zhiyuan's paintings are quite amazing.

Especially the use of color, which is as precise as a computer, without any mistakes.

However, as Lu Zhiyuan said, all his paintings look too much like copies and have lost some of their soul.

Hey!
It's really difficult to be a painter.

Look at this guy Lu Zhiyuan... His strokes are as precise as a robot. He can imitate anyone he wants, and the results are almost exactly the same.

With this level of skill, you can’t be a painter.

If I could be 80% of his level, no, 30% would be enough... The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, isn't it easy to get in?
"Lisa, what time does he usually come?"

I looked at the time and it was almost time to go home for dinner.

Before leaving, Liu Yifei couldn't help but ask.

"Every morning at 9 o'clock, I almost come in time with the clock."

Lisa turned her head and looked at the side. There was a brand new table and chairs. She had just bought them from the furniture market a few days ago and placed them there specifically.

The light was the best from her angle.

You can appreciate the handsome side profile of the male god every day.

"Every morning, I get up five minutes early to help him clear the table and chairs, and make him a cup of hand-ground coffee."

"Crystal, do you think he will feel my thoughtfulness and tenderness and fall in love with me?"

Lisa chuckled.

She took out a small mirror and looked at her beautiful face.

In fact, she is quite pretty and can be considered a little beauty among the crowd.

Of course, it's far worse than Liu Yifei.

"Of course I will. Come on!"

Liu Yifei said with a smile, but in her heart she was thinking, you are dreaming.

As a disciple of a painting school who died halfway through, Liu Yifei can tell Lisa with certainty that people like us who are artistic and artistic always pursue love at first sight.

The moment when light and shadow flow is eternity.

Relying on long-term love might be effective against other people, but it is completely meaningless to people like us!
"gone."

After waving at Lisa, Liu Yifei turned and left, leaving behind a graceful figure and the fragrance of her long hair wafting over as it swung in the air.

……

The next morning.

At 8:30, Liu Yifei arrived, pretending to be taking a walk outside. She accidentally passed by here and happened to meet Lisa who came to open the door.

The gallery had few visitors.

As a wealthy second-generation, Lisa doesn't care about the gallery's profits or losses.

Mainly to kill time.

Otherwise, she would spend the whole day window shopping, going to nightclubs to have fun... and then sleeping until noon the next day, bored to death.

With this gallery, at least she has something serious to do.

"Come so early?"

Lisa was a little surprised to see Liu Yifei, and then a teasing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm here to pick up the trash."

Liu Yifei answered seriously.

The two looked at each other and laughed knowingly.

"Iced Americano, it can reduce swelling."

Lisa glanced at Liu Yifei and saw that her cheeks were a little swollen, so she knew that she must not have slept well yesterday.

As for the reason for not sleeping well, it is also very simple.

I don’t know what’s going on, but recently the internet has been flooded with rumors about Liu Yifei and Chen Gandie… It would be strange if she could sleep well.

"Thank you."

Liu Yifei absentmindedly drank iced American coffee and wandered around Lisa's gallery.

But he would look at his watch from time to time.

"It's already 9:15. Why hasn't that minotaur come yet? I'm still waiting to pick up a painting to take back."

Liu Yifei felt puzzled and turned to look at Lisa.

Lisa had wiped the table three times, but the person she wanted to wait for didn't show up.

"Crystal, I feel like I'm heartbroken... Can you help me ask him how much he makes a year? I want to give him 30 years' worth of money so he can spend more time with me!"

As a wealthy woman, Lisa doesn't have any other tricks; spending money is the most effective way.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and said, "You can't afford it."

He is super rich!
The movie "Labyrinth of the Heart" made him tens of millions in Cannes.

Overnight, he became richer than himself.

"Hello, your delivery."

Lisa was feeling sorry for herself when someone knocked on the door and a courier came in with a large square box in his hand.

People who don’t know it might think it’s an LCD TV.

After Lisa signed for it, she opened the package with a puzzled look on her face.

It's a painting.

It's already been framed.

"Wow! It's Van Gogh's 'Starry Night'! It's so lifelike! This Minotaur is really a hidden gem."

Liu Yifei was the first to rush over to see the excitement. At a glance, she was absolutely certain it was Lu Zhiyuan's painting. The imitation was so close, it was practically a full-scale replica.

Her first reaction was a little jealous.

Depend on!
The painting is so good!

If my painting skills are only three years old, this guy has at least 300 years of skills, and he is at the level of the sect's saint son!

Her second reaction was still jealousy.

Why did the minotaur give a painting to Lisa but not to himself?
It was clearly me who asked him to meet at Lisa's place.

How come in the blink of an eye, he became friends with Lisa, but turned himself into a minotaur in his eyes?

“What a beautiful painting…”

After taking a few glances, Lisa was a little happy at first, but gradually, she seemed to realize something and a look of loneliness appeared in her eyes.

She couldn't help but sigh, "Crystal, I'm heartbroken. I'm going to close the gallery and go back to the United States, leaving this sad place behind."

"Hey."

Liu Yifei seemed to have realized something as well, her expression was indescribably complicated.

"Starry Night" was created by Van Gogh in 1889 while he was in Saint-Remy asylum after observing the starry sky through the window of his ward.

In the picture, the swirling nebula and the burning moon create a strong sense of movement.

The quiet village below contrasts with the restless sky.

When Van Gogh was creating this painting, on the one hand he longed for an ideal world, and on the other hand he was trapped in a mental hospital and felt depressed.

Lu Zhiyuan gave "Starry Night" to Lisa. Although he didn't say anything, both she and Lisa understood Lu Zhiyuan's thoughts.

Lu Zhiyuan, actually I don’t like the works of Peter Max.

It's just because Peter Max's pop lines fit the art style of the movie he wanted to create.

So, he often brought Reba with him to find this feeling.

Similarly, he doesn't like Lisa either.

The friendly relationship during this period was just out of courtesy and nothing else.

"Even the rejection was so graceful... How could I give up on such an artistic man so easily? See you in Los Angeles!"

After Lisa said this, she quickly covered her mouth.

Liu Yifei, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Lisa, you..."

What you just said was that you wanted to close the gallery and go back to the United States... It turns out that you knew Lu Zhiyuan's schedule. He was going to Hollywood to make a movie!

The heroine of the movie "Upgrade" is a newcomer, selected by Lu Zhiyuan from thousands of people.

This is no longer news.

But two days ago, there was finally news about the male protagonist.

It's Keanu Reeves!

The man with a cyber destiny.

After it was confirmed that it was Keanu Reeves, the domestic entertainment industry was in an uproar.

Keanu Reeves, the man who created "The Matrix", is a true international top-tier superstar.

Although Jet Li is also an internationally renowned action movie star, he is known as one of the two kung fu superstars in the country, along with Fang Long.

But in the international market, compared with Keanu Reeves, it is completely not in the same league.

Rumor has it that some time ago, Jet Li rejected Lu Zhiyuan's invitation.

The media speculated that Lu Zhiyuan was very likely to invite Fang Long... Unexpectedly, he made big news!
If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Zhiyuan will definitely leave for the United States in the next few days to meet Keanu Reeves.

"Los Angeles, I'm very familiar with it."

"Let me think...we should go to a restaurant with a view for lunch, then walk along the Santa Monica Pier and see some street performers."

"Then, in the evening, we'll take a cruise out to sea from Long Beach, watching the sunset over the Pacific Ocean while enjoying a seafood dinner and live music on deck..."

"Crystal, what do you think of my schedule?"

Lisa began to plan her itinerary, imagining that she and Lu Zhiyuan would meet an old acquaintance and then shyly start their romantic date.

"I think it's pretty good!"

Liu Yifei smiled and nodded, then started making a phone call: "Book me a flight to Los Angeles. As soon as possible!"

After finishing the call, Liu Yifei turned to look at Lisa with a smile: "Thank you Miss Lisa for your invitation. I can't wait for the next trip."

Recently, domestic media have been very unfriendly to her, especially those online marketing accounts, which use the matter between her and her godfather to attract attention every day.

She has reduced her outings as much as possible.

But when I saw those words, I still felt very unhappy.

Her friends in the circle have not dared to meet her recently...for fear of being spotted by paparazzi and asked about the details.

Only Lu Zhiyuan...

This guy is like an upright minotaur, or a mentally ill patient living in his own world. He doesn't care about the outside world's evaluation.

of course.

Lu Zhiyuan himself is also very sexy.

Some people say that he has a close relationship with Li An, and that Li An made great efforts behind the scenes to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

Because of Lust, Caution, Li An was criticized for "glorifying traitors", "insulting revolutionary martyrs", and "having a morbid aesthetic".

Lu Zhiyuan was scolded as well.

However, Liu Yifei saw that Lu Zhiyuan's mental state was completely immune to all poisons.

This made her quite admired.

She actually wanted to ask Lu Zhiyuan if there was any good way to adjust her mood?
at this time!

Suddenly, Liu Yifei remembered Lu Zhiyuan's evaluation of her.

——[Clear eyes that are naive to worldly affairs, simple and natural like a minotaur, and non-aggressive.]

When Lu Zhiyuan made this comment about her, the internet was already flooded with comments about her and Chen Gandie.

But in the past few days, someone suddenly started to refute the haters in the comments, using Lu Zhiyuan's words.

[A minotaur who has experienced such a complicated life can still have such clear and pure eyes? Do you believe it? I don’t believe it!]

"He believes me!"

In an instant, Liu Yifei suddenly felt warm in her heart.

She felt Lu Zhiyuan's gentleness and delicacy towards her.

He joked that his eyes looked like a minotaur, not intentionally mocking himself, but using his unique way to help himself resolve those messy rumors.

What he did was truly more delicate and gentle than the lines in Moebius's paintings.

Super handsome!

"Mom, book me a plane ticket! I want to go to Los Angeles! As soon as possible!"

I just told Lisa that I was going to Los Angeles and thanked her for her invitation. It was Liu Yifei who was joking.

And now, she means it.
