Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 133 Chen Pingsheng has a different identity than before

The art works displayed in the gallery today are mainly modern abstract art.

The paintings hanging above are all heavy in their use of paint, making it difficult to see the specific details.The lines are connected to each other, different colors are stacked, and it is messy, like abstract paintings in the Pollock style of the old century.

Although this art style is difficult to understand, it does intuitively reflect the creator's mental state at the time.

Rather than saying that the viewer is looking at the works, it is better to understand the emotions and atmosphere conveyed by the creators from these works.

"Chen, which one do you like?" After walking around, Shah stopped and asked.

"I like the one on the far right." Chen Pingsheng replied decisively. It was a painting with only a mess of brain-like lines in the center. The artist's use of color was very precise, allowing Chen Pingsheng to see that he used color to express Emotional intention.

Anxiety, fear, irritability, uneasiness, these negative emotions are abstracted into seemingly irregular lines in the painting but are actually very strictly matched.

The viewer's first reaction after watching it is that it completely matches the way he usually looks when he is in a bad mood.

"Really? I like this painting better. The large sea of ​​pink is dotted with gray shadows. It looks like your "Crow"." Shah said with a smile.

"It seems that you really like "The Crow"." Chen Pingsheng stretched out a hand and picked up the promotional page next to it.

"Of course, so Chen, can you give it to me?" Shah looked into Chen Pingsheng's eyes.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Chen Pingsheng smiled slightly: "Of course I am willing, Shah, but I think we still need to communicate on the contract before that."

Of course, there are also agents from major galleries who have come to see him these days, but they want to talk more about long-term cooperation.

In fact, the relationship between galleries and artists is very close, and most of them maintain long-term contracts.Galleries not only help artists carefully plan exhibitions and improve their artistic value.You also need to take artists to art fairs, make albums for them, or invite important critics to comment.

Some artist galleries even provide life support.

After all, not every artist's work can be favored by the market. When the work is not recognized by the public, the value of the artist is almost nothing.

This is especially evident in paintings.

At any rate, photographers can still rely on the dissemination of photos to continuously increase their popularity and rely on technology to make a living.But if painters' paintings are too stylized, they can easily fall into unsustainable predicaments.

Therefore, the organizer of the gallery must have an extremely sharp vision and be able to identify which works are valuable and which works are just for fun.

After hearing Chen Pingsheng's rational speech, Shah was obviously a little disappointed. She said: "Chen, you broke my heart again."

"I'm sorry for that."

"Are you really an artist?" Shah asked doubtfully: "I feel that your mind is too clear-headed. Was it the same when you were filming "The Crow"?"

"No." Chen Pingsheng spread his hands: "It was crazy at that time."

Shah raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Okay, actually, I not only want to have the agency rights for "Crow", I also want to reach a long-term cooperation with you on behalf of the gallery."

After a pause, she continued: "We can provide you with the most generous treatment for photographers in the industry, help you find the best curators, help you promote your photo album, and gradually expand your influence. In addition, we There is also a reasonable sharing system. In addition to the basic treatment, there will be an additional support fund every month. If you have new works to shoot, you can also apply for special bonuses, ranging from US$100 to US$[-] million. How? So, how are these treatments?"

Chen Pingsheng nodded when he heard this. The treatment was much better than that in previous galleries.

But he still asked: "Why, Shah, just because I won Best Picture Series of the Year?"

Shah smoothed the hair from his forehead back with his hands and said: "No, of course not. Chen, we not only look at the works, but also the people. You are very young, which means that you have more creative energy and time than others. For a longer period of time, coupled with your unique shooting techniques, I think it won’t take too long, maybe you will be on the stage of Gesai again in a few years.”

"The most important thing is that your work may shine in the auction house in the future."

In addition, this is also related to the gallery's promotion work in China, but Shah did not say it out loud.

"It seems like you have a lot of confidence in me." Chen Pingsheng leaned against the wall.

"Of course, I'm very good at judging people, Chen. After all, I'm the gallery's agent." Shah smiled, speaking very confidently.

"Well, it seems that I can't refuse such a generous contract." Chen Pingsheng said.

"Then, wish us a happy cooperation?" Shah held out his hand.

"Pleasant to work with."

Chen Pingsheng held her hand, which was cold yet soft to the touch.

…………

The Magic City schedule has entered the final stage, and January is not too far away.

The reason why Chen Pingsheng hasn't left yet is because the columnist of Film Magazine is in this city.

She is Wang Chengcheng, the general manager in charge of the luxury Prada China region.

Listening to the name, Chen Pingsheng can't associate it with the title of Chinese Fashion Godmother, but this is her name in the industry.

I don't know how Feilin contacted her. Chen Pingsheng only knew that it was a very difficult task to photograph this godmother.

Because her schedule is very busy, Feilin and the others have been in contact with her assistant these days, and the news they received is that it will only last 10 minutes.Yes, there are only 10 minutes to take pictures. If it were slower, you might not even be able to take a good photo.

But this was not actually caused by Wang Chengcheng's lack of attention to this matter. On the contrary, when she learned that the person who photographed her was Chen Pingsheng, the winner of the competition, she showed great interest and forcibly transferred her air tickets for the day. , remote meetings and work were all postponed, and only these two 10 minutes were squeezed out.

And all the requirements put forward by Feline Magazine are met, no matter what you need, you can prepare it in advance.

It can only be said that the timing this time was not a coincidence. The magazine shooting day happened to coincide with the peak period of her meeting.

After filming, Wang Chengcheng will fly to New York and stay in the United States for a month.

Therefore, Chen Pingsheng and the others could only seize this last moment to shoot.

Regarding this situation, Chen Pingsheng felt quite eager to try. He was not afraid of difficult filming, but he just hated those who did not cooperate with the filming.

Now that the matter has come to this, he will conduct research on the shooting theme and plan according to Wang Chengcheng's request.

Wang Chengcheng's request was actually very simple. There was only one requirement, and that was not to show his face.This requirement naturally blocks out many shooting techniques, so how to ensure that the audience can feel her character, her profession and attitude when they see the photos is crucial.

So Chen Pingsheng made a request to go to Wang Chengcheng's office and home.

After communicating, they obtained permission. Although Wang Chengcheng herself could not accompany her, her assistant would take everyone from Film Magazine there.

Speaking of everyone, of course Chen Pingsheng is not the only one.At this time, he was at the entrance of the airport, waiting for the people from Film Magazine to show up.

But this flight was really early. He looked at his phone and saw that it was only six o'clock in the morning.

Chen Pingsheng, whose eyelids were a little heavy, simply closed his eyes to rest.

After an unknown amount of time, a familiar voice called "Pingsheng!" woke up Chen Pingsheng, who was dozing on the chair.

He raised his head and found a man and a woman standing in front of him.

The man was naturally Yu Xiang. As for the girl, Chen Pingsheng didn't know him, but he thought she was one of the editors responsible for interviewing Wang Chengcheng.

"Long time no see." He cheered up, stood up, and hugged Yu Xiang.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that when we meet again, it's Master Chen." Yu Xiang patted his arm excitedly.

Chen Pingsheng had a smile on his lips: "Master Chen, don't talk nonsense!"

"The annual competition award is not considered a master?" Yu Xiang said: "Don't be too humble, this is the treatment you deserve."

"Yes, Teacher Chen, our magazine staff even had a party to celebrate when they heard the news that you won the award." The girl was wearing a white down jacket, with neat hair, and a pink hairpin that looked a bit playful.

"This is Li Fei'er, the editor of our magazine." Yu Xiang introduced: "Speaking of which, you haven't been to the company yet, and now there are many more people, and you don't even know them."

"When I finish this shooting, I will go to the company to have a look." After all, they are colleagues with whom we will collaborate in the future, so Chen Pingsheng also needs to meet and get familiar with him.

"Okay, come back with us then."

After Yu Xiang finished speaking, Li Fei'er stretched out his hand to shake Chen Pingsheng's hand and said hello: "Hello, Teacher Chen, when will your work be published? I can't wait now."

Chen Pingsheng said with a smile: "We have reached an agreement with foreign publishing houses now, and it will be released in three months. However, we have not yet reached an agreement with domestic publishers."

"It's so late!" Li Fei'er was a little disappointed, and then asked: "Then please sign for me."

"No need." This was the first time someone asked Chen Pingsheng to sign, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Use, this is very important. Your signature will definitely be valuable in the future, so I have to prepare in advance." Li Feier looked like he would sell it at a high price in the future.

Chen Pingsheng and Yu Xiang looked at each other, and then agreed: "Okay, let's wait until we get back to the hotel."

With that said, several people got into the car and rushed to the hotel.

It has to be said that awards and honors tend to make people ignore age and appearance. Chen Pingsheng is obviously still a young man in his 20s, but now in front of him, Yu Xiang's attitude is obviously much more cautious than before.

Not to mention Li Fei'er, she simply became a teacher and constantly asked Chen Pingsheng for advice on various matters.

Many chores for this shooting will be arranged by Li Fei'er and Yu Xiang, Chen Pingsheng only needs to shoot.

Feilin spoke frankly about this on the phone. His status is now different from the past. The name of the new domestic photography master has been vaguely embedded in his head.People in the industry and many people outside the industry are also aware of Chen Pingsheng, and because photography is inseparable from many industries, he needs to find a way of dealing with others that suits him in future interactions.

In addition, since different identities do different things, he can no longer compete with others for work.

Otherwise, many ignorant people will look down upon him because of this.

Chen Pingsheng thinks this makes sense. Only concentration can make people achieve success.From today on, he can focus more on photography without having to think about other chores. As long as he can keep his creative energy alive, his life will become simpler and simpler.

From this moment on, his life began to take a fast turn.

　The second update will be at six o'clock from now on
