Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 317 315. Do you underestimate yourself?

The fire was brightly lit in the villa late at night, and the sound of mahjong could be heard in the room. Chen Li'an leaned on the back of his chair and coded the cards, and couldn't help but yawn.

It's already past two o'clock in the morning, and Chen Li'an, who hasn't stayed up late for a long time, can't keep up with Zhang Guorong and the others.

"Throw the dice, it's your turn to be the banker." Zhang Guorong urged from the side.

Chen Li'an hummed, put his hands under the card table and rubbed them, then grabbed the dice and threw them out. The princess sitting opposite Chen Li'an couldn't help but snorted.

Chen Li'an glanced at the count with an unchanged expression and said: "Two, four, six."

Leslie Cheung, who was sitting next to Chen Li'an, pushed the cards forward. Chen Li'an stretched out his hand to grab the cards and chatted: "You haven't had any health problems lately, have you?"

"Okay, I'm in good health." Zhang Guorong said while grabbing cards.

Chen Li'an glanced at Zhang Guorong who was full of energy and asked: "Last time, the Wang family didn't say bad things about you in the newspaper, right?"

Leslie Cheung thought for a moment and said, "I didn't say anything directly, but when he won the award in Cannes, he said that luckily the actor was changed before filming started."

Chen Li'an couldn't help curling his lips and said, "I was merciful last time."

"Let's not talk about him." Zhang Guorong also knew that Chen Li'an and Wang Jiawei didn't like each other, so he played a card and asked: "When are you going to return to the mainland? A director asked me to film a movie."

"Mainland director?" Chen Li'an recalled for a moment and asked, "Ye Daying?"

Zhang Guorong nodded and said, "Yes, do you know him?"

"I've met him twice at the film festival before. I'm not very familiar with him." Chen Li'an looked at Leslie Cheung and asked, "Have you accepted the call yet?"

"I took it, he was very sincere." Zhang Guorong suddenly smiled and said, "And there is already a script."

"Haha, I thought you didn't mind that Wang Jiawei didn't have a script." Chen Li'an couldn't help laughing.

The princess sitting across from her didn't interrupt and was playing cards quietly. She just felt her legs were a little sore from being raised. She glanced at Chen Li'an who was chatting happily and quietly pulled her legs back.

Chen Li'an had already listened to the cards at this time. He was just about to cast a magic spell and rub the cards. He lowered his hand and touched nothing. He raised his head and glanced at the princess with a wicked smile on her lips. He had to rely on his own luck to draw the cards. .

As a result, naturally I didn't get the card I wanted.

"Sixty thousand." Chen Li'an played a card and glanced at the princess resentfully.

"Haha, I'm confused!" the princess shouted happily.

Chen Li'an: "." If you don't touch it for yourself to increase your luck, you're just fooling your own cards! Too much!

Chen Li'an has been having some bad luck lately. I wonder if there are too many people scolding him.

After playing mahjong all night, Chen Li'an lost tens of thousands of yuan and even had breakfast in the morning.

Mr. Tang, who got up early, was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. Suddenly he paused and looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Malaysia has indeed given up its resistance. Now Singapore has also been affected."

Chen Li'an hummed in confusion and said, "The next goal is Xiangjiang."

Mr. Tang was surprised that Chen Li'an's judgment was so accurate. He wanted to ask him where he got so much gossip and what is the relationship between Soros and you!

But Mr. Tang can't sit still now. He doesn't have a heart as big as Chen Li'an, and he is very worried about the financial crisis sweeping across Asia.

He immediately put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "I'm going to the company first. If there is any news, I will tell you as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me."

After Mr. Tang left, Zhang Guorong, who came down from upstairs after taking a shower, asked: "Did you treat me this time? Don't waste more than 10 million yuan on me."

"I'll go bankrupt if I lose everything. I'll let Zu Xian take care of me from now on." Chen Li'an replied with a smile, then picked up the newspaper that Mr. Tang had just dropped and read it.

Chen Li'an had no interest in finance, so he skipped over to the entertainment section and started reading. After reading for a while, he suddenly frowned.

Zhang Guorong looked at Chen Li'an with a solemn expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Li'an shook his head and said: "I saw someone scolding me, but I didn't expect that these people would reach out to Xiangjiang."

"Because of your performance art in Tokyo?" Zhang Guorong curiously took the newspaper and read it for a while and said strangely: "Why do so many people in the mainland scold you?"

"Because the enemy is inside." Chen Li'an sighed while eating the bread, turned another page of the newspaper and handed it to Zhang Guorong and said: "Look, the Koreans are still praising me, but my own people started to scold me first. .”

Zhang Guorong didn't quite understand why this happened. He looked at the newspaper for a while and then said, "Do you want to go back to the mainland to deal with this matter?"

"Don't worry, wait and see." Chen Li'an finished the bread in his hand and said, "I'm going to take a nap first. When Zu Xian comes over, ask her to go upstairs to find me."

Zhang Guorong glanced at Chen Li'an and said disgustedly: "You think this is a love hotel. Why don't you go to Zu Xian's place."

"You didn't drag me to play mahjong!" Chen Li'an snorted and went upstairs to sleep.

As soon as he arrived upstairs, Chen Li'an saw the princess leaning on the corridor wiping her wet hair at the door of the guest room. When she saw him coming, she took the initiative to hook her fingers.

Chen Li'an glanced at the time. It would be a while before Zu Xian came over. Time must have passed quickly, so he followed the princess into the guest room.

You have to educate the princess! If you don't let yourself draw, you will blur your own cards. If you didn't draw yesterday, you have to make up for it today!

I was not allowed to touch it yesterday, but I will touch it enough later!

After a while, there was a rustling sound in the room, like the sound of stockings being torn.

Almost an hour later, Chen Li'an, who tore some of the princess's silk stockings, sneaked out before Wang Zuxian came and ran back to his guest room to sleep.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Li'an woke up, but did not see Wang Zuxian's figure. He washed up and took a look at the princess's guest room, and found that she had left, so he went downstairs to find Wang Zuxian.

As soon as Chen Li'an came downstairs, he saw Wang Zuxian making a phone call.

After seeing Chen Li'an coming, Wang Zuxian immediately ran over and said, "Li'an, I just received a call that someone went to the art space to cause trouble!"

"What's going on?" Chen Li'an asked immediately.

Wang Zuxian took the phone and asked a few more questions, and then said to Chen Li'an with a complex expression: "It's the Japanese. They said you destroyed the environment in Tokyo and disrespected Japan. They also said you were a radical war element and had anti-human tendencies. of."

Chen Li'an: "." This is a good one! Damn it!

"How is the situation now?" Chen Li'an looked at Wang Zuxian and asked.

Wang Zuxian sighed and said, "It's okay. There weren't many of them and they were driven away, but they frightened many visitors."

Chen Li'an finally understood. He found people to attack him in Japan, used public opinion to suppress him in the Mainland, and came to his own art space to cause trouble in Xiangjiang. If there was no pusher behind this, Chen Li'an would not believe it even to death.

"Li'an, are you okay? Do you want to close the door for a while?" Wang Zuxian asked worriedly.

Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "No, it's normal business. Please strengthen security during this period."

Wang Zuxian looked at the irritable Chen Li'an, rubbed his temples and said: "Originally, many people came here to visit in the past few days. After more than a month after returning, many compatriots from the mainland came to visit. Now that they are being made trouble like this, I don’t think anyone will go there these days.”

Chen Li'an actually didn't quite understand why he was targeted in this way. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have. He didn't blow up the God's toilet.

I didn't understand why I was being targeted until I saw Cheng Shufen at night.

"You underestimate your influence too much. Your art in Tokyo will be misunderstood by those people. Moreover, you refused the previous Sino-Japanese cultural and artistic exchanges. It is not normal for them to worry about you."

Cheng Shufen looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Be careful during this time. Japan has always wanted to cover up history. It's not surprising that you are being targeted."

"Just keep an eye on me. I didn't plan to make similar works in the future." Chen Li'an thought for a while and said, "But it should be fine after a while. I'm not at the mercy of others."

Cheng Shufen hummed and said: "Ji Fa also contacted me. During this period, I will help you change public opinion in the media in Xiangjiang. But there is one thing I am curious about. How did you convince Fuji Sankei? They But right Y, the mushroom cloud over the Fuji TV Building is quite scary."

Chen Li'an chuckled and said: "I told them at the time that this was to criticize fat people and little boys. It's not a lie. If it weren't for time being so sensitive, there wouldn't be so many problems. They didn't react at the time, but they reacted later. There was going to be a fuss when we came here."

"You really are." Cheng Shufen smiled helplessly, looked at him and said, "This matter is currently under control in Xiangjiang. Everyone is paying attention to the financial crisis. The serious one is in the mainland. You have to be careful."

Chen Li'an nodded and said: "I will find a way over there in the mainland. I will go back to deal with it in two days. Let's see if Mr. Tang needs my help in the next few days."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Tang turned his head and glanced at Chen Li'an, smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Guorong could not help but complain: "What can you do to help? People who don't even know how to open an account should go back to the mainland as soon as possible to find a way to solve their own problems."

Mr. Tang didn't know what he was thinking of. He suddenly looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Do you want to take advantage of the financial crisis to vent your anger in Japan? Didn't you say that the Japanese yen's exchange rate will continue to fall?"

Chen Li'an pointed to his nose and said, "What do you think I can do with this little money? Does an elephant care about a mosquito?"

Mr. Tang smiled and said, "Mosquitoes can suck more blood."

Chen Li'an shrugged and said, "I can do it. Anyway, I don't understand. I can't even open an account."

"Ha ha."

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

In the next few days, Chen Li'an really stopped paying attention to the financial crisis. With an expert like Mr. Tang handling it, he couldn't help but join in the fun.

Chen Li'an has not been idle these days. He goes to the art space to work every day. Now many mainland artists have made a name for themselves here, and local artists from Hong Kong are also actively joining in.

All of this was done by Wang Zuxian with the help of Cheng Shufen. Now Wang Zuxian can take charge of her own business.

In the art space, Chen Li'an looked at Wang Zuxian chatting with several Xiangjiang artists and felt that she could have graduated from Xiangjiang University now.

Not far away, Wang Zuxian seemed to feel Chen Li'an's gaze, turned her head and smiled at him, and then said to the artists in Xiangjiang: "Before the autumn auction, we will evaluate the support objects for this issue. You Just wait for my news.”

"Then please excuse me, Miss Wang." Several young artists thanked her.

After chatting with them, Wang Zuxian came to Chen Li'an and said, "The autumn auction is still half a month away. Do you want to participate? This time's support plan is much larger than last year. I'm a little unsure."

Chen Li'an smiled and said: "Don't worry, Sister Shufen is here to help you. By the way, the subsequent joint cooperation must be done well, otherwise there will not be so much money to support so many artists."

Speaking of this, Wang Zuxian immediately looked at Chen Li'an excitedly and said: "Now we have good cooperation with several brands, the products are very popular, and our own brand is now somewhat famous. Guess how much we earned last quarter?" money?"

Chen Li'an thought for a moment and guessed: "Ten million?"

Wang Zuxian's excited face suddenly froze, she slapped him angrily and said, "How can there be so many! Are you deliberately making fun of me?"

Chen Li'an smiled and pinched Wang Zuxian's bulging little face and said: "This time I brought many design drafts from mainland artists, including accessories and handicrafts. Next quarter we will try to earn him 10 million!"

"It's not that easy. We are not targeting high-end luxury." Wang Zuxian was a little unsure, then looked at Chen Li'an with interest and said, "But I really want to get involved in high-end customization recently. What do you think?"

"Yes, but the fashion industry is not that easy. You have to have the right to speak." Chen Li'an thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to Ji Fa later and try to cooperate with some high-end luxury brands first and let her help. connect."

"LV?" Wang Zuxian said excitedly immediately. She knew that the supporter behind Chen Li'an was the boss of LV. The last time the art space opened, he even came to support it.

Chen Li'an looked at Wang Zuxian who was like a little money fan and couldn't help but scratch her nose and said: "You like making money so much, why did you think of quitting the industry?"

Wang Zuxian raised her little face and said, "It only costs a few bucks to make a movie, but it's not as much as the money I make from real estate speculation."

Wang Zuxian, the little rich woman, looks a bit like Chen Meiren, but Wang Zuxian belongs to the Buddhist type.

However, when Wang Zuxian talked about high luxury, Chen Li'an was still a little interested, but not for making money, but for fashion magazines.

There are currently no fashion magazines in the Mainland. You can find someone to create a magazine yourself. In this way, you will have your own mouthpiece in the future.

If you are scolded again in the future, you can still fight back.
