Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 128 Can I touch your trophy?

Innermost thoughts?

Chen Pingsheng took the microphone and moved forward slowly. Each step was like stepping on thick snow, pushing away layers of invisible obstacles.

At the same time, his image was also transmitted into an electronic signal through the director screen and connected to the film industry APP, so that all fans and friends watching the awards ceremony could see it clearly.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Pingsheng spoke in fluent Chinese.

"First of all, I would like to thank the judges of the organizing committee for their recognition of this work." He turned around and pointed at the photo of "The Crow" being played on the screen.

"Then, I would also like to thank my family and my friends, who also gave me a lot of help in this work." Chen Pingsheng smiled, his tone a little excited and emotional.

"I would also like to thank my fans, whose comments give me confidence."

As he spoke, the harshness in his mouth unconsciously diminished a lot, and his body and limbs gradually changed from stiffness to softness.

"Wow!" The photographers in the audience applauded vigorously. Although most of them could only understand what Chen Pingsheng was saying through translation headphones, this did not delay their recognition of the winners.

"Actually, the birth of the work "The Crow" was an accident." Chen Pingsheng said slowly after the applause subsided: "An accident that affected my life. I don't know how to describe it. Maybe it can be said to be rebirth? Or a second life? I don’t know.

"All I know is that I have been transformed. I have begun to have a deeper and truer understanding of life, and I have discovered what I truly love."

At this point, he paused and said in a positive tone: "Yes, it's photography."

"I like to record the different possibilities of the world through the lens and cut it into a photo. Because they make me feel down-to-earth and alive."

"How does it feel to be alive?" Wei Seya said to herself while lying in the back seat, looking at Chen Pingsheng on the screen.

Wearing pink wireless headphones, she turned her head and looked out at the deep world.The airport is already in sight, the driver is holding the steering wheel with one hand, and the agent Xuan is leaning on the back of her chair, seemingly sleeping.

Everything was quiet and silent, but she knew that after getting off the plane, everyone would be in a state of winding up and get busy again.

Maybe this is what it feels like to be alive?
Chen Pingsheng's voice on the screen continued: "The original intention of the work "Crow" is precisely for this. I don't want to say too much about my views on the work and the intention of its creation, because the moment art is born, the artist has already After completing his mission, it will be left to the audience to judge and interpret."

His body became more and more relaxed, and his hands continued to move with the words: "For this work, I just want to say that it is my thinking about my current life. This is not a simple photo album of animals, it pays more attention to the reality. It is the soul deep in the human heart. I believe that when everyone reads it in the future, they will understand what I am saying now."

"So let's put this work aside. What I actually want to say is that photography, for me, is not just an entertainment, hobby, or job. It is also an attitude towards life, because since I started taking pictures, the composition has changed. My view of life as boring has changed, and by simply adjusting my perspective, I can make everything seem interesting and unique.”

"Capturing light and shadow has changed my indifferent attitude towards the sun and made me cherish every ray of light and the appearance they illuminate."

"Color matching has changed my ordinary impression of urban street scenes, and prompted me to look for those distinctive colors to imprint in my photos."

"There are also different groups of people, landscapes, and buildings. Photography of each subject is subtly changing my view and attitude towards the entire world. This is really great, isn't it?"

"It's really great!" Lin Zishan nodded wildly and replied. At this time, she was sitting on the sofa, holding an apple core that she had not lost after eating.

She has been busy with portrait photography recently, going to the seaside, beaches, and snow-capped mountains. Every time she takes a photo, she feels that her soul is sublimated by the beautiful scenery.

Now I am completely enjoying it and can’t wait to go out and shoot every day.

"Shanshan, give me the apple core." Seeing his daughter so immersed in it, Boss Lin could only speak out.

Lin Zishan handed it to him without looking back. After Boss Lin threw it into the trash can, he continued to look at the screen.

"This is the original intention of my photography, and it is also the idea I want to convey to everyone. And this work is just one of them. Yes, I will continue to shoot portfolios in the future." Chen Pingsheng laughed when he said this: "I don't know Will I be nominated for the next competition?"

"Maybe you will see me more often in the future!"

"Hahahaha!" the audience laughed.

"That's all I want to say. Finally, I would like to thank the judges again for your recognition of this work."

After speaking, he took a few steps back and handed the microphone to Mr. Erickson.

"Wait, don't worry!" Mr. Ericson grabbed Chen Pingsheng, who was about to leave, and said to everyone: "He is a good young man, right?"

"Yes!" someone responded in the audience.

"The photography industry needs such young people who dare to think, dare to shoot, and dare to innovate." Mr. Ericson spread his hands: "Actually, after watching this work, I have always had some questions. Not only me, but also All the judges. Now that Chen is here, I also want to ask a question for everyone."

"You said it." Chen Pingsheng took the microphone from Mr. Li Yuanming and replied.

"Which one of this work do you think is the best?"

After hearing this question, Chen Pingsheng thought for a few seconds and said, "There is no best photo. I can only say that the first photo is my favorite."

Mr. Ericson nodded: "That silhouette of a crow, right? I understand." Then he said to the audience: "Want to know which one it is? You will find out when it is published and buy it." "Haha Haha!" Everyone laughed again.

"There is another question." Mr. Ericson's tone became serious: "Who helped you with the layout of this work? Everyone knows that the layout editor is another author of the album, although it is not as important as the photographer. But he determines the content of the album. So I want to know who this editor is? Can you tell me? Chen."

There was no typesetting editor in Chen Pingsheng’s previous acknowledgments, so Mr. Ericson thought of another possibility.

It's just that he didn't quite believe it yet, so he asked the question to remedy it.

While everyone was waiting for Chen Pingsheng's answer, he himself did not hesitate at all and said quickly: "The typesetting editor of this work is myself."

"You mean you edited the work alone?" Mr. Erickson asked again.

"That's right, I'm the only one." Chen Pingsheng nodded in affirmation.

"Oh! God!" Mr. Ericson covered his forehead and walked to the stage: "Did you hear it! Chen's answer is shocking! But it is even more exciting!"

He turned back and held Chen Pingsheng's hand: "This award is well deserved, Chen! I look forward to your future works!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman." Chen Pingsheng thanked and left the stage.

As for the audience, they were also shocked by his answer.

They looked at this young man from China, from the stage to the seats, and had an unreal illusion.

All photographers know how important typography is to their work.Normally, there would be a dedicated editor responsible for this job, but this young man actually won the best photo album of the year by shooting and typesetting it by himself.

What does it mean?It shows that his typesetting skills are not inferior to his photography skills, and he can fully and perfectly display the connotation of the work through a photo album.

It also indicates that future works may be typeset by him.

Compared with his sole identity as a photographer, Chen Pingsheng's weight in the industry and in the hearts of everyone at this time is undoubtedly more important.

However, Chen Pingsheng didn't pay attention to this. When he sat back down, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

After he felt better, he turned around and saw Hawke holding his head with an expression of disbelief.

"What's wrong, man?" he asked confused.

"Oh my god, Mom. The winner of Best Picture Series of the Year is sitting next to me." Hawke couldn't help but murmured.

"Hey!" Chen Pingsheng waved his hand in front of his eyes.

Hawke came back to his senses and said excitedly: "Chen, congratulations! That's great! You are really amazing! So, can I touch your trophy?"

He carefully looked at the golden trophy in Chen Pingsheng's hand. In his eyes, this was proof of great honor.

Chen Pingsheng handed him the trophy with a smile, and Hawke slowly took it. While gently touching the trophy with his hand, he sighed: "I can't believe it, I can't believe it."

Suddenly, the person sitting on the other side of Chen Pingsheng also said hello.

"Hello Chen, can I meet you?"

Chen Pingsheng turned around and found that she was a young girl. Her facial features were very three-dimensional, her fair skin was slightly rosy, her blue eyes and light golden hair looked very elegant.She was wearing a white gauze skirt studded with diamonds, which was dazzling under the light.

"Hello." He reached out and shook the girl's hand.

"My name is Shah Wirth." The girl introduced herself: "I am the director of Hauser & Wirth Gallery."

Hauser & Wirth Gallery Chen Pingsheng knows that this is a world-class well-known art gallery co-founded by Ursula Hauser, Manuela Wirth and Ivan Wirth.If nothing unexpected happened, the girl in front of her should be the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Voss.

Unexpectedly, there was a director of a top art gallery sitting next to him, which made Chen Pingsheng smell an opportunity.

“I know Hauser & Wirth Gallery, which is very famous, but I haven’t been there yet,” Chen Pingsheng said.

Shah laughed and said, "So Chen, we recently opened a branch gallery in Shanghai. Are you interested?"

"Of course." Chen Pingsheng would not let go of this opportunity. He knew that visiting an art museum was just a pretense, and what he really wanted to talk about was the exhibition of Ya's work.

Gesai's best photo album of the year is worthy of these art galleries.

This is also a very important moment for Chen Pingsheng, because it means that his works will no longer be limited to China, and their influence will penetrate abroad.
