Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 346 345. Broadway, New York

The air in New York was still humid. When Chen Li'an woke up in the morning, he felt energetic again.

However, the wound on the brow bone cannot be touched with water. It is very troublesome to wash the face. I can only wipe it bit by bit.

When Chen Li'an came out of the bathroom, Bo Qing had already taken out the medicine box and was waiting.

"Come here to change the dressing. I don't know if there will be any scars." Bo Qing was worried as he removed the gauze.

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you have a scar, it can be considered a hero's scar."

"Bah, shameless, you are still a hero." Bo Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes at Chen Li'an, pulled him to sit down and carefully removed the gauze on Chen Li'an's brow bone.

Bai Qing looked at it carefully and said, "There should be no scars, otherwise such beautiful eyes would not be gentle."

Chen Li'an said nothing. Men never care about scars on their bodies.

After changing the medicine, Bai Qing said with some worry: "But will your incident really not be discovered this time?"

"It has been discovered, but the evidence is insufficient and they don't want to expose it." Chen Li'an said with a smile.

Bai Qing asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Why else? What else can this do besides boosting my reputation?" Chen Li'an explained with a smile.

Bai Qing nodded, and then said: "I guess you are on someone's blacklist now. If you have done such a big thing by yourself, you are no longer an artist, you are almost becoming a conspirator."

"But I've never seen you be so stupid, and you got yourself involved in it. Not only was you injured, you were imprisoned for a few days."

Chen Li'an laughed loudly and said, "What is this called? This is called a counselor entering the game with his own body, and defeating half of the sky with a single move!"

"If I hadn't been caught, things wouldn't have developed so fast. If I hadn't spent money to find people behind my back to protest and cause trouble, this thing might not have been possible. Although luck was mostly involved, the final effect was achieved."

Bo Qing frowned and said, "You're still drunk. Are all men like this? Heroism is the source of trouble."

Chen Li'an saw that Bo Qing was a little angry, and said with a haha: "Stop talking about this, let's go have breakfast, I'm hungry."

When Chen Li'an and Ji Fa went to the hotel restaurant and were about to finish breakfast, Ji Fa came over yawning. Seeing Chen Li'an's lively appearance, he couldn't help but kick him.

"It's all your fault! Adding so much workload to me!"

Chen Li'an handed over a cup of coffee in a flattering manner. He did not do this well, and he was bragging, but it did bring a lot of trouble to the people around him.

After coaxing Ji Fa for a few words, Chen Li'an asked: "Is the Metropolitan Museum of Art still willing to let me hold an exhibition?"

Speaking of this, Ji Fa couldn't help but look at Chen Li'an with strange eyes and said: "Yes, but their person in charge asked me to tell you that the cultural relics in the Metropolitan Museum are all bought or donated, not stolen. "

Chen Li'an: "." A special explanation is needed.

However, the most famous set of bronzes in the metropolis was indeed bought and sold by a descendant of Duan Fang, an official of the Qing Dynasty, for 200,000 taels of silver.

Duanfang's descendants sold a lot of cultural relics. In addition, many Chinese collectors immigrated to the United States and donated their collections of cultural relics to American museums after their deaths.

It’s hard to tell what’s going on specifically, no one knows, and Chen Li’an can’t figure it out, but it’s not like there aren’t cultural relics stolen from these museums.

The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston has many famous Chinese paintings in its collection. They were all stolen from China by a shameless Japanese robber and sold to them.

Chinese cultural relics are basically lost in various countries around the world. They come from various sources. It is really difficult to evaluate them.

Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an who was in a daze and asked, "You're not going to cause trouble again, are you? Just stay quietly in the hotel!"

"No, I'm not crazy. I did so many things in London because the British Museum deliberately displayed so many cultural relics in my exhibition." Chen Li'an paused and said, "This is a naked provocation. I can't stand them. The face of a robber."

"Okay, don't explain to me." Ji Fa didn't bother to listen to Chen Li'an's reasons, but solemnly warned him not to go out to cause trouble again.

Of course, Chen Li'an agreed wholeheartedly. He had no intention of causing trouble and would just go back to China after finishing the exhibition.

After breakfast, Ji Fa refused to let Chen Li'an go out for a walk. After leaving him under Zhang Guorong's care, Ji Fa took Bai Qing to the Metropolitan Museum.

In the hotel room, Zhang Guorong looked at Chen Li'an with his head on his head, and said sleepily: "It's all your fault, my vacation is gone."

Chen Li'an said with disgust: "I don't want to be with you yet, it will delay my going to Broadway."

"You want to go to Broadway? I want to go too. Just wait for me and I'll check out what shows are on Broadway recently."

After saying that, Zhang Guorong ran to make a phone call. Chen Li'an couldn't help but curl up his lips. Zhang Guorong's character was so deceptive.

Chen Li'an stretched and was about to go back to his room to change clothes when his cell phone rang.

At this time, the Foshan Golden Rooster Award Ceremony had just ended. Huo Jianqi looked at the Golden Rooster Award trophy in his hand and waited with great interest for Chen Li'an to answer the phone and share the good news with him.

Not long after, the call was connected, and Huo Jianqi immediately said happily: "Li'an, you won the award! Golden Rooster Award Best Actor! It's a pity that you couldn't come back, so I have to help you receive the award."

"Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner when I get back." When Chen Li'an heard that he had won the award, he didn't feel anything at all. He just became a best actor. It would only happen sooner or later.

Huo Jianqi said speechlessly: "Are you not happy at all?"

"What's there to be happy about? I can afford this trophy." After Chen Li'an finished speaking in a relaxed tone, he was about to tease Huo Jianqi when he heard Gong Li's voice coming from the other end of the phone.

"Are you okay in the United States? I'll wait a few days to see you."

Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the phone would reach Gong Li's hand, so he smiled and said, "No, I'm fine. It will start in two days. I will be very busy and I won't have time to accompany you."

"Then when will you come back?"

"I'll go back next month."

Huo Jianqi watched Gong Li chatting with Chen Li'an on his phone. He wanted to speak several times, but he held back.

I wonder how many more minutes the phone bill you just recharged will last. You two don’t have your own phone!

Chen Li'an and Gong Li chatted for a while, and Leslie Cheung ran over, holding a note in his hand and saying: "There is a Lion King musical on Broadway tonight, and it is said to be very popular."

Chen Li'an and Gong Li chatted for a while and hung up the phone before looking at Leslie Cheung and asking: "Which theater? Can I buy tickets?"

Leslie Cheung patted his forehead and said, "New Amsterdam Theatre, I'm going to call and book tickets now."

Seeing Leslie Cheung running away in a hurry, Chen Li'an shouted from behind: "Four tickets!"

"knew!"

After a while, Zhang Guorong came back disappointed. He looked at Chen Li'an and said, "There are no more tickets. There are only tickets for three days later."

Chen Li'an had already guessed that The Lion King was so popular this year, and even though it had been on for more than a month, it would be difficult to book tickets.

"It's okay, let's go directly to Broadway."

Zhang Guorong frowned and said, "Why are you going there if you don't have a ticket?"

"You have to believe that there is an animal in this world. Wherever tickets are sold, he will definitely exist."

"cattle?"

"You guessed it, let's go, spend more money, it's not bad anyway."

Half an hour later, Chen Li'an and Leslie Cheung arrived on Broadway wearing long windbreakers and sunglasses.

It's so lively here, probably because it's almost Christmas, so there are so many tourists.

Chen Li'an and Zhang Guorong were walking on the street, looking at the people coming and going, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Where are the scalpers?

Chen Li'an and Zhang Guorong stood in front of the New Amsterdam Theater for more than ten minutes, but they didn't see anyone who looked like a scalper.

"The local scalpers are so unprofessional!" Chen Li'an couldn't help but cursed. It's so cold that someone would freeze to death standing on the street.

Leslie Cheung looked at Chen Li'an speechlessly and said: "Is it possible that there are no scalpers here? This theater belongs to Disney. You know, Disney's legal affairs."

Chen Li'an: "You told me earlier that this theater is owned by Disney."

It was strange to see scalpers at the door. Chen Li'an looked around and decisively pulled Zhang Guorong away.

But I walked slowly, and after walking through an intersection, someone approached me.

"Hey, which country are you from? Are you traveling here?"

Chen Li'an glanced at him and felt that he was a scalper, so he simply said that he was Chinese and wanted to come to Broadway to watch a show, but he couldn't buy a ticket and was about to leave.

Hearing what Chen Li'an said, the man immediately raised his chin and asked, "What drama do you want to watch?"

"The Lion King tonight." Chen Li'an didn't beat around the bush, put his arm around Scalper's shoulders and whispered a few words, then paid him seven hundred dollars and got the ticket.

After getting the ticket, Chen Li'an shook the ticket in his hand and said to Leslie Cheung, "Whatever happens, I'll just say there are scalpers everywhere."

"You're awesome, but it's still early, why should we go?"

"Of course we're going to have a drink! I can't wait!"

After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he pulled Zhang Guorong away.

It's a pity that before Chen Li'an reached the door of the bar, Ji Fa's phone call came, and then he quickly led Bo Qing over.

In the bar, Chen Li'an lowered his head and ate French fries, listening to Ji Fa's chatter.

After a while, Ji Fa stopped nagging. He looked at the tickets for the general area on the table and said with disgust: "The view from this location is very poor. Seven hundred dollars is just to defraud fools like you who don't know anything. You two fools."

Zhang Guorong raised his head in confusion, you scolded him, why did you scold me? Don’t talk about martial ethics!

In the evening, Chen Li'an and the others still watched The Lion King, but they only sat in the best seats and in a private box.

It's just that there are a little too many people and it seems a little crowded.

There were still ten minutes left before the show started. Chen Li'an felt that he had just drank a little too much at the bar, so he got up and went to the bathroom.

After entering the theater, Chen Li'an lost his disguise of sunglasses and windbreaker and was recognized. Chen Li'an has been in a lot of news these days. The New York Times and Washington Daily reported Chen Li'an's affairs in the UK.

It's not surprising to be recognized, but Chen Li'an didn't expect that the American people liked him quite a lot, and even talked with him for several times, and they complained about the arrogant British guy.

Chen Li'an coughed awkwardly, shook his body and zipped up, turned to look at the man who had been complaining about the British guy, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Friend, you are right, it is indeed arrogant and annoying."

The man glanced sideways at Chen Li'an's hand and said quietly, "Did you do it on purpose?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about. Time is running out. I have to go back first." After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he left quickly, fearing that the man just turned around and slapped him in the face.

But the hands were quite clean after wiping them. The man's suit was made of wool and was very absorbent.

After Chen Li'an came out, he washed his hands again and was looking in the mirror to fix his hair when he saw a beautiful woman flashing in the mirror. Although he only caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye, she was very stunning.

Chen Li'an turned his head and took another look. He felt familiar, but he was not sure. He didn't come back to his senses until the woman walked away.

"She looks like Jennifer Connelly, but I only remember her back in Once Upon a Time in America, so I couldn't help but put on my clothes."

Chen Li'an muttered, wiped his hands and returned to the private room.

The performance of The Lion King was indeed wonderful. Chen Li'an was very engaged in watching it. Although the plot was simple but classic enough, the actors performed well and sang very well.

When he came out of the theater, Chen Li'an was a little unsatisfied. In his previous life, he liked to watch musicals and dramas, but he hadn't done so in several years.

In Chen Li'an's previous life, whenever he had nothing to do, he would go to the theater. If there was a drama, he would watch a drama. If there was no drama, he would watch dramas. He liked it very much.

Maybe it’s because I was a drama actor in my previous life.

I have been engaged in art in my life, and I have seen a lot of art exhibitions, but very few dramas. The last time I went to the theater was to see Liu Xiaoli's Chu Yun.

Chen Li'an suddenly thought of Liu Xiaoli, and then of Jennifer Connelly, whom he had just glimpsed. He felt that he and the theater were really destined, and he met beautiful women every time.

It's just that this time after the sudden glimpse, Chen Li'an didn't see Jennifer Connelly.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go back quickly." Ji Fa patted Chen Li'an on the shoulder, not knowing what he was doing.

Only Bai Qing pinched Chen Li'an secretly and asked in a low voice: "Who did you see again? Your eyes just looked wrong."

Chen Li'an endured the pain and coughed. As expected, the person who knew him best was Bo Qing. He was discovered after just diverging his thoughts.

"It's nothing. Let's go back to the hotel quickly. It's really cold." Chen Lian put his arm around Bai Qing and walked toward the parking lot.

Ji Fa, who was acting as the driver on the way back, kept complaining, saying that he was very pitiful. Not only did he have to curate but also work as a driver, and he also had to be a nanny for Chen Li'an, so he couldn't sleep well at night.

Chen Li'an listened silently, and after silently counting Ji Fa's three complaints about not sleeping well at night, he coughed heavily.

Ji Fa glanced at Chen Li'an, then stopped talking, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
