Eros kisses Psyche

"Actually... I'm here because I have something serious to discuss with you."

Cheng Zhu lay on the bed and lit a cigarette. In the end, he had to find a room and find a bed to put the kid in "sleeping clothes" before he would listen to himself, but he was too tired; He is so much older than him, what should he do if he can't be cured one day?I am indeed not old, but he is really young...

But Xu Budie turned over, hugged his arm vaguely, narrowed his eyes half-opened and half-closed with a smile, obviously full of wine and meat, finally rationality prevailed, and he could hear people's words: "What?"

"... Give me a call to see if I have white hair here on my head?"

"Is this your business?"

In fact, it's quite serious, Cheng Zhu thought to himself, but he still changed the subject: "I heard from Jingzi before that you gave Qin Hong a hard time. Then the matter in your mind is over, or not?" What about the past?"

Have you ever passed?Lying in the aftermath of the affair, Xu Budie could finally calmly look inside his heart.Today, the pain of the scar when it was run over seems to be finally negligible, and the wound that was originally buried and unbearable to look at can finally be faced.When mentioning them, I can finally treat them normally in a contemptuous and joking tone.And when you look at them squarely, you will realize that the tricks that made you wake up in the middle of the night and toss and turn in fear are actually nothing more than unspeakable nasties, naive and crude.

It’s like a thorn in the flesh, you can’t see it, you can’t pick it out, you can’t find it, it doesn’t affect your life after a long time, and sometimes you forget it; but sometimes it hurts a little, reminding you that you have been hurt, even if it doesn’t hurt , even if you move forward, it will always be there, a acne that has long since festered.

He finally said slowly: "It depends on how to say it... I think I have passed it, I don't care anymore, I don't even bother to give them eyes, and I will no longer suffer from insomnia, palpitations, and paranoia because of them; but I feel that it may be true You will be with it for the rest of your life.”

Cheng Zhu was silent for a while, until Xu Budie was about to fall asleep, and then he said: "There is an underground art auction market overseas, you know? It will be more restrained in China, but it will become very blatant in foreign countries." Yes. One of them is an underground auction of works of art that satisfy collectors’ special hobbies, commonly known as Bengshi.”

"...Beng City?"

"Well, to give an inappropriate example, suppose you painted a Mona Lisa, and the most popular painting in the auction in Bangshi is the nude and violated painting of Mona Lisa painted by the original author. Of course, the label is Anonymous, whether it is the original author or not depends on your own eyes to judge, it may be a fake, so this is also very exciting, just like betting on stones, if you bet on the real product, you will get a "relict pearl", so it is called a clam In fact, it can also be said to be a high-standard pornographic art trading place...Because of the high price, there are many famous artists who are unsuccessful or want to make a quick buck.

Xu Budie narrowed his eyes: "You also went into the sea?"

Cheng Zhu was speechless: "... who do you think I am, and this is the image I have in your heart?"

"There is money to be made..." Xiao Xu was half asleep and half awake, and he remembered money.

"Then I'll make you naked and sell it." Cheng Zhu jokingly held his waist, circling his waist with his fingers.I used to be too thin, and felt like a bunch of bones. Now that I have a little flesh, the waist feels especially good, which makes people love it.

"Just be naked... I've also been a nude model... How many of those works of art are not naked..."

"Of course it's not the kind of art-beautified, soft display of the human body. It's full of sexual domination and oppression, and a kind of evil taste of materializing the body... It's using the highest technique to do the most vulgar thing..." He suddenly Pulling off the thin quilt covering his body, he turned over and hugged Xu Budie, staring deeply at his completely exposed appearance, his fingers were sunken inch by inch from the lower abdomen to make a shallow trace along the axis of the dry sperm. Madara stroked upwards, "It's as naked as it is now."

Xu Budie also looked back at him calmly, the two looked at each other, and the one below suddenly curled up and giggled.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Zhu wondered instead, is he pretending to be a domineering president?Isn't it always like this in the book, and then sneered slightly at the corner of the mouth, "Very well, you have successfully attracted my attention..."

"It's not your fault, it's because I feel a little scary when I see it in your eyes," Xu Budie smiled softly, "I feel that if you really do it, you will carve out a body with those marks on it but exuding a A divinely glorious... icon. I beg you to stop using me as a model, it's too shameful, like Dürer, I can't stand it..."

Lao Cheng was discouraged all of a sudden, and turned back to his side to lie down: "This kind of work is usually a set of front and back. I saw an auction work in Bangshi before, and the technique was very similar to Gan Pai. If I used to I will also doubt whether it is an imitation... Now I know too well that they can definitely do this kind of thing, not only can they do it, but they should also be one of the players with this hobby."

Xu Budie woke up with a jolt, and sat up all of a sudden: "What is the painting?"

"Don't worry, it's not you who painted it." Cheng Zhu said, "Their usual standards are generally not up to this level of black market transactions. But the model in this painting is a famous movie star, and it is estimated that the painting was not popular back then. Yes—after all, their targets have always been innocent boys and girls, but now that she is an adult, she is also very popular, so the value of this painting has also increased."

"The reason why I found out about this by chance is also because the celebrity team found out about the art agency that Rong Wanqin now owns an overseas joint venture after learning that the painting had entered Bengshi, and spent a lot of money to ask us for help. Identify whether it is the genuine product of Gan Heyu or not. If it is, no matter how much they pay, they must buy it out."

Xu Budie understood what he meant.That is to say, the star knows very well that if it is done by Gan Heyu, it proves that the scene in the picture is very likely to be true.

He gritted his teeth: "Is there a backup? I want to see that painting..."

Cheng Zhu looked at him, turned over, took the phone and fiddled with it for a while, and showed him a blurry candid photo.

In the picture, there is a young carcass, heavy colors and strong contrast... Her limbs are stretched unwillingly, her expression is not painful, but blank, as if she is powerless after resistance The compromise of a certain part, the damage of a certain part is depicted in detail... It really is not a kind of aesthetic feeling, but uses extremely exquisite techniques to show an extremely dirty gaze perspective, and can even feel a strong sense of sexual scrutiny As well as the strong pride and showing off that cannot be concealed between the painter's strokes.

Xu Budie resisted the urge to retch, he remembered this painting—the original work, because it was the female celebrity named Tong Ranran, it was always placed in a prominent position in the gallery, and everyone who passed by could see it at a glance arrive.The young girl in that painting is light and beautiful, without makeup, and has not yet been labeled with some labels after she became famous in the later period. She is thin and linglingly refusing to be surrounded by strong and dirty colors around her, like a stubborn lily.

Xu Budie suddenly thought absurdly, in all fairness, this disgusting disgusting painting is much better and more impressive than other works, so that you can definitely believe in the first moment when you see it: yes Yes, they painted her perfect beauty, then tore off all her beautiful pretense to expose her so-called "ugliness", and then proudly recorded this moment of glory.One watch and one inside, a complete hunt from body to soul has been completed.

Xu Budie responded to Cheng Zhu's gaze and nodded.

"It was painted by him... There must be more than one... This is the evidence...."

"Yes." Cheng Zhu took his hand, opened his clenched palms and clasped them, "I guess this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, and there should be many paintings of victims as models. This kind of "two-eating" method is to satisfy sexual cravings and show off one's booty in disguise. But...we don't know who else is, and there is no evidence of others. It is this picture, after all, it is sold on the black market, they You can also deny it completely.”

"But--"

Cheng Zhu patted his hand reassuringly, stopped him from speaking eagerly, and continued, "I know what you're thinking. The most convincing evidence so far is this painting. I contacted Tong Ranran in a roundabout way, but She made it clear that she was not willing to pursue the responsibility of the person involved. After all, for her, the matter had passed for many years, and she didn't care so much; It is also difficult to prove whether this painting is pornographic processing or realism; third, her career is developing rapidly, once it is exposed, what will happen to Gan and Yu, who have already passed the retirement age, and it is estimated that they will not have to sit in prison, and she is afraid that her acting career will be completely ruined. It's over. Therefore, she would rather spend a lot of money to buy it out than reveal a word."

Xu Budie was silent for a long time: "Maybe for her, this matter is indeed over."

"Ah... such a big melon is killing me... I can talk to someone today," Cheng Zhu smacked his lips, and flattened his body with relief, "Thinking about it, she might find out when she enters the show business circle. The methods of Gan and Yu are all pediatrics... I won’t be surprised if I see them too much.”

But Xiao Xu was upset. It was easier for a light sleeper like him to get a good night's sleep after venting, but he was disturbed by this, and obviously the happy time of a cigarette afterwards was all entangled; Only then did he realize that the thorn was still there, and he really cared about it. At that time, scaring Qin Hong to the bum seemed like a joy, but in fact it was nothing more than a tickle.He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only pinch a piece of flesh on Cheng Zhu's arm with his fingers to vent his anger, so that he begged for mercy: "I understand, I understand, this matter with you is not over...but ah, you also You have to calm down and see that her choice is actually not wrong. In her current life, there are too many things that are more important than this guy. No matter how much he sells the malice of the past, he can't hurt her. Can you understand? You It's the same... I saw your recent works, and today I found out that you are also a half-celebrity in school. Bu Die, you will become more famous in the future, and you will be more involved in this industry. The higher you go, the more you will face Her worries now are even more indistinguishable."

Cheng Zhu smiled wryly, and continued: "Besides, Gan and Yu are not fools. After all, it was his work that was snapped up at a high price in Bang City. I guess he also heard about it. When I come back this time, The main reason is that he actively recommended me to go to the National Craftsman Award Ceremony to receive the National Craftsman Award as the vice chairman of the Artists Association. It is said that firstly, I have not been in the mainstream circle for a while, and secondly, it is too early for me to receive this lifetime achievement at my age... He is showing sincerity, and I still can’t refuse it. There will also be a joint exhibition of outstanding art works of colleges and universities across the country at the same time as this competition, just watch it, and he will definitely recommend you to go.”

Xu Bu rested his arms on his head, suddenly feeling funny: What is this, hush money?Late compensation? "Does this mean that as long as we participate, we will be appointed by default?"

"Isn't that affirmative... that's how he is. He's the vice-chairman and judge now, so he can't make a decision, but you're in the same boat as him."

For many young people who are eager to reach the sky in one step or reduce detours, this is definitely a very sincere business. They even feel that compared with many ruthless "golden masters", Gan Heyu is more conscientious. Generous too.No wonder it is said that many students and artists who have been sneaked by him in the past still maintain a good relationship with him, and nothing has been revealed for so many years.

Even for Cheng Zhu, it is said that he is doing well in foreign markets now, but if he wants to come back to receive the honor of "National Craftsman", which is equivalent to "Lifetime Achievement" in the domestic circle, there is absolutely no one in charge.It will take at least ten years to rely on Cheng Zhu's own efforts, and it will take at least ten years to grind out his qualifications to stop other people's mouths.

In front of this shortcut that saves so many years of struggle, a little thorn, a little bit of pain, seems to have become insignificant.

Xu Budie figured it out, but laughed instead: "Yes...it's a good opportunity."

Cheng Zhu nodded: "Will you participate? I was afraid that you would not respond, but this opportunity is very good, and I was thinking about how to persuade you."

"Who am I? Don't underestimate me. I've been so hostile back then, and I'm still the one who accepts the money..." Xu Budie chuckled, this former thorn in his mouth now said When he got up, he didn't care, "Now it's my turn to scare him, why don't I go, I have to go with a lot of fanfare, and step on the climbing ladder laid by the old man. Never had a…”

"You drool a lot on that person." Cheng Zhu smiled and leaned over to kiss him, Xu Budie dodged with a smile, and pulled the pillow over his mouth.Now the two chatted energetically, and rolled to each other again, the laughter gradually died down, and the sound of kissing water stirred up a low moan.

"By the way, since you've made your decision," Cheng Zhu said with all his strength, "then you can go and see her."

Xu Budie asked vaguely, "...who?"

"Tong Ranran. Although she doesn't want to testify, she wants to talk to you face to face."

"I'll go...Cheng Zhu, can you not suddenly say the woman's name when you cut in! Fuck...ah..."
