Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 328 326. How can you take advantage of the country?

October in the golden autumn is a season of harvest, but for Chen Li'an and the others, it is a month of sacrifice.

You have to wait until November to reap the rewards, and in the second half of the film's promotion, there's almost not much to do.

The limitations of the times made the publicity methods of this era extremely simple. Chen Li'an also thought about using some publicity methods of later generations, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not necessary.

If you really want to increase the box office, you might as well crack down on piracy.

However, cracking down on piracy will indirectly hit the development of the VCD industry, which is really a contradiction.

Chen Li'an simply didn't care about these things. He was just an actor and didn't care about the directors and producers.

If you have this time, you might as well be busy with your own business.

In Shanghai, Chen Li'an, who had just finished promoting the drama, was about to go to the set of Red Lover to see Leslie Cheung when he was pestered by Xu Qing.

Xu Qing, who had just gotten into the car, looked at Chen Li'an and asked unhappily: "What's going on with you these days?"

Feeling left out? Chen Li'an could see Xu Qing's mood and found it quite interesting.

Would Princess Xu be so proactive? Chen Li'an couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Why are you laughing!" Xu Qing pinched Chen Li'an angrily and said, "Why are you ignoring me recently?"

"I'm not ignoring you, aren't we promoting together every day?" Chen Li'an asked with a smile.

Xu Qing snorted softly, leaned close to Chen Li'an and whispered: "You know what I mean, we are together during the day and at night!"

Chen Li'an hummed, patted Xu Qing's back gently, and said helplessly: "I've been reading some information recently, and I can't stand being with you anymore. I can't help it."

Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Xu Qing's mind turned around and she figured it out. She couldn't help but smile, and she lay directly on Chen Li'an's body and said in a seductive voice: "Are you trying to say that you can't resist my charm? Alone. When you are with me, you just want to fuck me?"

Chen Li'an curled his lips and said, "Don't you want to have sex with me? I'm afraid you'll delay my reading."

! ! !

Xu Qing was so angry that she bit Chen Li'an's collarbone, mumbling nonsense words, such as saying you want to have sex with me.

Girls are not reserved at all!

When Chen Li'an went to the set of Red Lover and opened the car door and got out of the car, his collarbone was still aching under his shirt.

As for Xu Qing, she is lying in the car holding her butt and moaning.

Li Juan in front glanced at Xu Qing through the rearview mirror and looked back. The boss is becoming more and more arrogant. Do you want to add a baffle to the car in the future? Otherwise, how can you drive with peace of mind!

When the crew of Red Lover saw Chen Li'an, no one stopped them. They even came over to say hello and told Chen Li'an that Zhang Guorong was putting on makeup inside.

Chen Li'an thanked him and walked to the makeup area. As soon as he got close, he heard the sound of jingling coming from inside.

Zhang Guorong wore pure iron shackles on his feet and walked out barefoot. The moment he saw Chen Li'an, he subconsciously closed his feet.

But Chen Li'an had already seen it. He took a deep look at Zhang Guorong, then knelt down and glanced at the shackles on his ankles. He couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said, "You worked really hard, your feet are worn out."

"This can help me better assume the role. You know, I have never played this kind of role, nor do I have this kind of experience." Zhang Guorong explained with some guilt.

Chen Li'an stood up and patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, I understand. It's not my foot that hurts anyway."

"Ha, right? I knew you would understand me, and they even advised me to take off the shackles." Zhang Guorong showed a relieved smile. He was always worried about being scolded in front of Chen Li'an, even though he was so much older than him. But there is this strange mentality.

Chen Li'an hummed and said, "If you are not good at acting, you must rely on the help of these external objects. People just experience it and grasp the feeling. If you are not good at acting, just wear it all the time."

Zhang Guorong: "." Ridiculing me? ! Who is saying that his acting skills are poor?

Chen Li'an didn't get the chance to dance, but Leslie Cheung, who couldn't jump, turned around and looked around and asked: "Where is your director? I'm going to say hello."

"Over there, I'm talking about drama with Mei Ting." Zhang Guorong pointed in a direction.

"Then forget it." Who knows what they are doing, Chen Li'an would not join in the fun, looked at Leslie Cheung and said: "How long will you continue to shoot today?"

"It ends around six o'clock, and there is no night view."

"It's only three o'clock now. I won't wait for you anymore. Call me when you go back to the hotel in the evening. Goodbye."

"."

Zhang Guorong looked at Chen Li'an's leaving figure and couldn't help but want to scold me, "You just came here to mock me?" !

After Chen Li'an returned to the car, he glanced at Xu Qing, who was still moaning with tears in her eyes, patted her again and said, "Go inside, I don't know how old I am."

Xu Qing: "." Dog man! Wait for me tonight! I'll kill you!

Chen Li'an ignored Xu Qing's resentful eyes and said to Li Juan: "Send us back to the hotel, and then find a private doctor to send to the crew and ask him to follow Zhang Guorong during this period."

"Okay." Li Juan was a little curious, but she didn't ask why she wanted to send the doctor over. She would find out later when she came to see him. She was also a fan of Leslie Cheung.

More than twenty minutes later, Xu Qing followed Chen Li'an in the quiet corridor of the hotel, gnashing his teeth and baring his claws.

Chen Li'an looked back at her, and Xu Qing immediately put on a cute and sweet smile, followed Chen Li'an with small steps and said with a wink, "The shower in my room is broken."

"You want to take a shower at my place, right? Then get wet and seduce her, and then bring food to bed." Chen Li'an lifted Xu Qing's chin and said.

Xu Qing bit her red lips and looked at Chen Li'an stubbornly, her big round eyes quickly becoming mist-filled.

What a annoying little goblin.

Chen Li'an didn't say anything, but took Xu Qing's hand and walked to his room. Xu Qing, who was behind him, had a little fox-like expression on her face.

boom!

The door was closed, and the sound of clothes rubbing against each other and the suppressed and rapid breathing suddenly came from the room.

"Didn't you say you don't want to have sex with me?"

"Did I say that?" Chen Li'an held Xu Qing's chin and pressed her against the wall and said, "I'll give you a chance to take the initiative."

"Bad guy!" Xu Qing broke away from Chen Li'an's hand, jumped up and hung on Chen Li'an and said, "You are so bad, you know how to bully me."

"I'm a bad guy, so who are you? A good guy with a warm heart?"

"Ang! I am a good person!"

"Okay, okay, then let me see how hot you are!"

".Are you saying something strange?"

"You'll know later. Don't you want to kill me? I'll give you this chance!"

"."

I don't know how much time passed, Xu Qing lay on the white bed, frowning and turned over in a daze. It was uncomfortable to sleep with the flyer wet, but as soon as she turned over, she woke up in pain, and lay down reflexively. .

Xu Qing hummed, feeling like she wouldn't be able to sit down tomorrow, and walking would be difficult.

On the other side of the suite, Chen Li'an was wearing loose pajamas and looking at the information in his hand.

The ministry is organizing and coordinating the craft masters to go to the capital for a meeting, and Chen Li'an needs to familiarize themselves with all the information and make a new design before they all arrive in the capital.

The good thing about traditional handicrafts lies in the tradition, and the bad thing about them lies in the tradition. The reason why these craftsmanship slowly declines and some even disappear after a few decades is because adhering to the tradition is no longer in line with the spiritual needs of the times.

Take the Yun brocade as an example. It has top-notch craftsmanship and top-quality fabrics, but the one-meter-long Yun brocade has an ugly golden dragon embroidered on it.

You say it's valuable, it's indeed valuable, but who will buy it?

It is possible to innovate, but no one does it, or some people do it, but they are accused of ruining the things of their ancestors.

There are always people who want to keep these things in their hands, and wait until no one cares about them and are about to disappear and the inheritance is cut off, then they will shout for everyone to protect traditional culture.

What kind of protection do you have? It's too far away from life and the market. You can't just grit your teeth and spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy it back and then lock it in a cabinet.

Who would walk around the streets wearing an ugly five-clawed golden dragon?

At present, foreign luxury goods have not yet occupied the domestic market, and there is still time and opportunity to change this outcome.

Chen Li'an was sitting at his desk, and the pencil in his hand kept drawing beautiful lines on the white manuscript paper. During this period, he had read a lot of books on design.

Downstairs in the hotel, Zhang Guorong staggered upstairs, followed by Li Juan and a doctor.

In the elevator, Zhang Guorong leaned against the wall, took a breath and said, "I'm going to trouble the doctor today."

The doctor frowned and looked at him and said, "Don't move for a few days. Your ankle is seriously injured. If you continue like this, there will be big problems."

"I know." Zhang Guorong forced out a smile and said, "But the crew will waste a lot of money if they don't work for a day."

The doctor sighed and stopped talking. It was difficult for him to understand Zhang Guorong's behavior. Aren't acting and acting all just performances? How could he really wear shackles weighing dozens of kilograms and walk so much, even his iron-clad feet couldn't bear it?

After going upstairs, Zhang Guorong suddenly grabbed Li Juan and said, "Don't tell Li An that I'm back, and don't tell me about my injury, otherwise he will definitely call and complain."

Li Juan gave him a meaningful look, why is the idol so naive? How could a boss with such a personality complain? He would definitely tie you up and send you to the hospital.

But seeing her idol begging for help, Li Juan still agreed softly. She just looked at the doctor and said, "Please take care of yourself more recently."

"Don't worry, I will do it." The doctor turned around helplessly and supported Zhang Guorong and said, "Mr. Zhang, I will help you go back and change your dressing."

"Trouble."

Seeing Zhang Guorong's faltering steps, Li Juan hesitated for a moment. After sending him back, she ran to knock on Chen Li'an's door.

"My brother's injury is a bit serious. The doctor will follow him closely to prevent accidents."

Li Juan still came to report, but Chen Li'an's reaction surprised her.

"I know, he chose it himself, don't care about him."

Chen Li'an looked at the puzzled Li Juan and asked, "Are you surprised by my reaction?"

Li Juan nodded and waited for Chen Li'an to explain her doubts.

"Because he and I are the same kind of people. We can't live without being crazy. As a friend, there's not much I can do. I deprived him of the joy of acting. He's not hurt physically, but he may be hurt more mentally. When the filming is over, Just ask him to go on a trip to recuperate and relax."

Chen Li'an also thought about changing Zhang Guorong before, but after getting to know Zhang Guorong for a long time, he realized that such a person cannot be changed. As a friend, he can only enlighten and not interfere.

Everyone has their own life, and Chen Li'an is not a savior.

After Li Juan left, Chen Li'an went back to work on his own affairs. Everyone has his own life.

After two days of promotion in Shanghai, Chen Li'an returned to the capital with the crew. During these two days, Chen Li'an did not visit the cast again, nor did he meet Zhang Guorong in the hotel.

Chen Li'an just kept a doctor for Zhang Guorong and asked him to go to Paris for vacation after finishing the project to visit his exhibition at the end of the year.

After returning to the capital, the movie was about to be released. Huo Jianqi was busy preparing for the premiere, so Chen Li'an no longer had to run around with him.

In addition to taking the time to watch Lao Jia's Xiao Wu's film, I went to the ministry every day to hold meetings with the craftsmen to discuss the innovation of traditional handicrafts.

Perhaps because Chen Li'an was too famous, or perhaps because the ministry put too much pressure on him, these craftsmen were very cooperative, and they agreed to many of Chen Li'an's decisions that went against their ancestors.

Who says pottery can only be made into regular bottles and jars? Why can’t it change its shape? It can be adapted to too many scenes, and the patterns on the porcelain surface are not limited to landscapes, flowers and birds.

Tie-dye can also be combined with multiple colors to form a portrait. Clothes, shoes, and even tie-dye paintings can also be combined with modern art. Installation art is very tolerant, so why can't tie-dye be tolerated as a craft?

Reed painting can also create the effect of oil painting. Why should we limit ourselves to the original flavor of reed? Appropriate color changes can also create more possibilities.

Why are the paper-cuts made in red? Wouldn’t it be three-dimensional when combined with multiple layers of paper-cuts and lighting effects?

There are so many things that can be done. Chen Li'an has made many different designs during this period, almost losing all traditional things in the original craftsmanship.

The craftsmanship is still the same, but the design and artistic elements are completely different.

Most of today's craft masters are just craftsmen, not designers or artists, and the things they make are still the same old way.

"Is it okay for you to do this?"

Lin Fangmu occasionally came to participate in seminars, but in the end he couldn't help but find Chen Li'an alone. He felt that Chen Li'an's changes were too great, and he almost lost his original look.

Chen Li'an said nonchalantly: "This is just an attempt. When I go to the exhibition, I will still bring some traditional handicrafts to see which one is more popular."

Lin Fangmu sighed and said: "It's completely different. It's no longer innovative. You completely regard these crafts as the carrier of your artistic creation, but it is indeed bold. Your renderings do look very novel."

Chen Li'an looked at him strangely and said, "It's just a carrier. This is my art exhibition. If I don't create, what will others see?"

Lin Fangmu: "I suspect that you are deliberately seeking personal gain for yourself in the name of promoting traditional culture!"

"Hey, leader, you've discovered this, it's too late now."

"How can you take advantage of the country?"

"It's too early to tell who will take advantage of whom!"
