Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 15 The inside story of the exhibition

"Xiao Chen, actually this exhibition was not organized by the city." After the two of them took their seats after looking at the photos, Professor Li suddenly said this.

Chen Pingsheng was stunned when he heard this. This conflicted with his memory.

Soon, Professor Li explained everything clearly to him.

"The issue of Yao Village has been delayed for a long time. The local county government has always wanted to help them get out of poverty, but due to the small annual budget, there has been no improvement."

"Later, they heard that another city had organized an exhibition for poor counties. It became popular and attracted the attention of the province, so they wanted to imitate it. But the city never approved it, and they didn't have the corresponding resources." Professor Li He picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"So they found a person, his surname is Zhuang. He used to work in the Education Bureau and now works in the city. We used to deal with each other often, and I know he is a practical person." Professor Li sighed with an expression: "Xiao Zhuang agreed. , but he couldn’t interfere with the city’s decision, so he found a few old friends, which was us.”

"Our batch of photos will be handed over directly to him, and he will select some of them, send them to the exhibition hall, and hang them directly on the wall. As for how to let the leaders see them, we don't know." After finishing speaking, Professor Li looked at Chen Pingsheng with serious words. : "I say this actually because I want you not to worry about gains and losses. I know the value of these photos. You should have been planning for a long time when you said at the train station that you were going to take film."

Chen Pingsheng smiled bitterly: "It didn't take long."

In fact, it was just an impromptu idea, but when he said it he seemed particularly hateful, so he automatically acquiesced to Professor Li's idea.

Professor Li comforted him: "It's okay, I will definitely ask Xiaozhuang to put these pictures up. I believe that if the leaders see them, they will also stay for these pictures."

"Well, the trend of photography in China is getting stronger and stronger now, but it is also getting more and more impetuous." Professor Li seemed to have started talking, maybe because Chen Pingsheng's photos really gave her some hope.

"The atmosphere in our South China College of Communication is not very good. Take Wang Yifan, for example. He is actually a very smart young man." Professor Li commented on Wang Yifan's works: "In the past two years, we can still shoot some that are eye-catching. However, because he too blindly followed those works on the market, what he shoots now has deviated from basic objectivity."

"Others' works are not much better. Teacher didn't expect that your work is really outstanding." Professor Li obviously blamed himself when he said this.

"Teacher, I also had a sudden idea." Chen Pingsheng patched himself up.

"You can't hide it from me. This calm and cold style is completely inconsistent with the mainstream of the market. It is obviously taken after a long period of thinking and understanding. There is no improvisation in photography. All compositions and all inspirations , are all the results of your usual accumulation."

Chen Pingsheng nodded and agreed with the teacher's point of view.

"Did Lao Fang hold his breath after he scolded you before?" Professor Li asked suddenly. The Lao Fang she mentioned was exactly what Chen Pingsheng often dreamed about at midnight: "No talent? Just don't come in." Department of Photography!" Source.

"A little bit." If it didn't appear that he was too fake at all, Chen Pingsheng certainly wanted to take a breath for himself.

"I have also discussed with him. I think there are big problems with his teaching methods. But he always retorts with employment issues." Professor Li adjusted his glasses and continued: "I think people like you are really interested in photography. Those who specialize and can shoot new styles of work are the future of photography.”

"Teacher, you are so ridiculous." Chen Pingsheng was so praised that he couldn't sit still.

"Hey, you'll know when you get to my age." Professor Li laughed: "I just spoke directly from my heart. After all, no one usually comes to my place."

"Teacher, if you don't find it annoying, I'll come here often." When Chen Pingsheng heard this, he immediately understood what Professor Li meant and immediately borrowed the donkey from the slope.

"That's great." Professor Li was very happy. She has been teaching and educating people for decades. She has never been stingy with affection and resources for truly good seedlings.For her, no matter how much prestige she has gained now, she feels it is vain, but if it is obtained by a student, it will make her feel even more glorious.

This is an affirmation of her decades of success. "By the way, I just happen to have something to ask you, teacher." Professor Li suddenly thought of something as he spoke.

"Tell me, teacher."

"I have an old friend who passed away recently. When he was alive, he liked to take pictures the most. He liked to make photo albums for his family. No matter big or small, he had to take pictures." Professor Li's expression was quite heavy: "Before he left, he also I told my family that I would take pictures of my funeral and burn it for him.”

"So the family wanted to ask me to find a reliable photographer to help them photograph the funeral."

This is the first time Chen Ping has heard of this kind of activity. Only weddings are photographed, how can there be funerals?
Chinese people have always treated funerals with a solemn attitude. It is a place where only sadness is allowed. Generally, only after the death of politicians and scientists, for the purpose of recording, reporters will report and film, but most of them will take videos.

Unexpectedly, someone wanted to film my funeral.

Knowing that this kind of thing seemed unlucky, Professor Li said: "If you think it's not suitable, I will reject it and let them find another photographer. It's okay."

"Teacher, I took the answer." Unexpectedly, Chen Pingsheng continued without saying anything.

Looking at Chen Pingsheng's eyes again, Professor Li noticed his excitement.

"Do you think it's quite special?" she asked.

"Yes, teacher, there are not many opportunities like this." Chen Pingsheng doesn't care about weddings and funerals at all. For him, recording those unique moments with photos is what excites him the most.

"You are indeed suitable to be a photographer." Professor Li sighed and said, "Don't worry, they give you a lot of money and they won't let you go in vain."

"That's great." Chen Pingsheng almost regretted what he said.

Unexpectedly, Professor Li was stunned for a moment and suddenly laughed: "When you are young, you have to make more money. Otherwise, what will you do when you get old? Don't you think so?"

"Yes, the teacher is right."

The old man and the young man reached a consensus on money, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

The reason why Chen Pingsheng was so happy was because the system gave him new tasks.

"Routine Tasks: How to Make Money as a Photographer"

"Task content: A truly powerful photographer will take into account both business and art, so every time you earn the target amount through photography, you will receive an attribute point reward."

"First stage target: 2000 yuan. Mission reward: Photography vision points*2"

"After completing the first phase, the second phase goals will be updated."
