Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 187: Income mission accomplished!

On the night of the open class, Chen Pingsheng had a meal with the department leaders.

At the dinner table, everyone also talked about participating in the next competition. When they learned that Chen Pingsheng had prepared his work, they couldn't help but praise and wish him well.

I hope he can achieve good results again and bring glory to the school.

When Chen Pingsheng woke up from bed the next day, he still felt a little dizzy.

These teachers spoke really nicely, their mouths felt as if they were covered with honey, and their skills in persuading him to drink were so good that he drank half a kilogram of liquor without even realizing it.

Fortunately, I had a good drinking capacity and didn't pass out drunk at the dinner table.

As for the company, we have already reached an agreement with the director. He will set up a studio called Photography Exploration Studio.

He will be the only employee and legal person in the studio.

No one else will join at this time.

Chen Pingsheng was actually thinking about becoming a photography assistant, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not needed for the time being.

Just when he was about to go out for fitness, he suddenly received a call from Lauren, the head of Feiming's publicity department.

"Hello? Lauren?" Chen Pingsheng looked at the magpie waving its wings outside the window and answered the phone.

"Hey, Chen!" Lauren's voice sounded less exaggerated and more serious than last time.

"What's the matter?" Chen Pingsheng asked.

"Of course, Chen, we have already discussed it internally and the cooperation will continue!" Lauren announced the news happily: "And we will no longer force you to add any information to your works."

But Chen Pingsheng's voice was very calm: "Yes, but I may not have time next."

Lauren was surprised: "Why, Chen? Did an accident happen?"

"No, I mean there are a lot of things to be busy with recently, such as film festivals, book signings, etc." Chen Pingsheng tried to speak tactfully.

"Oh my God, Chen, you must make time for us. If you need anything, you can tell me!" Lauren sighed on the other end of the phone, as if the sky was about to collapse.

Chen Pingsheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, mainly because Sony is negotiating a new contract with me, so I'm still weighing it."

This is the latest news he received. Sony wants him to take a set of landscape and portrait photos with a new camera, and the reward is very generous.

More generous than Feiming's.

"Sony? Can you reveal how much they paid you?" Lauren became nervous.

"Sorry, Lauren, this is a business secret, I can't say it." Chen Pingsheng did not listen to Lauren's words.

"Okay, indeed, in this case, we can increase the remuneration." Lauren thought for a moment and said, "Chen, although we may not be able to give you the same remuneration as Sony, please believe that we will not ask you for it. When it comes to shooting content, you can freely shoot any work. I believe this kind of freedom is something other manufacturers cannot give you.”

"I will consider it, Lauren. If you have any changes, please send them to me as soon as possible. I plan to start shooting in March." Chen Pingsheng replied.

"No problem! Chen, I will give you the exact answer tomorrow!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Pingsheng leaned on the balcony and thought for a while. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he hoped to take on Fei Ming's project.

After all, in terms of cooperation form and freedom, Feiming is superior.

But when it comes to remuneration, Sony is more generous, $5.

Obviously, after the film festival data and album sales data were released, major manufacturers discovered that Chen Pingsheng's ability to attract money is still very powerful.

Whether it is fame or works, they are receiving more and more attention now.

Chen Pingsheng doesn’t want to be in line with money, but he can’t be too far apart, otherwise he’ll be in too much of a loss.

Now since Lauren said that she can add more, let’s see Fei Ming’s sincerity.

Chen Pingsheng used a fitness coupon and went to the gym.
-
A day later, Lauren's phone rang on time.

"Hey, Lauren, are there any results?" Chen Pingsheng was doing English test papers at the table. He hadn't experienced the feeling of taking an exam for a long time, and now he felt like he couldn't immerse himself in doing the questions.

"Chen, we have already discussed the results." Lauren said nervously about her company's decision: "This cooperation is mainly based on travel shooting. We will not participate in any of your creations. We only need you to be able to shoot in the photos." Just cooperate with the publicity. Then in terms of remuneration, we will add an additional US$[-], for a total of US$[-]. What do you think?"

Chen Pingsheng raised his eyebrows, feeling that the price was exactly what he expected.

"Then if I accept the cooperation, can my cooperation with other camera manufacturers still proceed?"

"Chen, we don't want to restrict your cooperation partners, so Feiming only has a one-year exclusive contract agreement. We are really sincere." Lauren took a few deep breaths and waited for Chen Pingsheng's reply.

Chen Pingsheng nodded secretly. Although the cooperation with Sony was also very good, they had a long-term exclusive contract for the cooperation with photographers.

So if he wants to cooperate with other manufacturers in the future, he has to terminate the contract first.

After all, photographers are often the spokespersons of cameras, so manufacturers are also very cautious about this choice.

Since Fei Ming's sincerity satisfied him, this cooperation could be finalized.

"Well, Lauren, I'm impressed by your sincerity."

"Really? Chen?" Lauren said in surprise.

"That's right." Chen Pingsheng replied affirmatively.

"Wow! Great! Chen, you made a right decision." Lauren cheered, celebrating the successful cooperation.

After he finished cheering, he continued: "Then I will send the contract to your mailbox immediately."

"When will the cooperation begin?" Chen Pingsheng asked. "The sooner the better, Chen. I will mail the new products to you. We must complete the album before mid-April." Lauren said.

"Okay, no problem, Lauren, then I'll be waiting for your new camera." Chen Pingsheng said with a smile.

This is also very consistent with his arrangement.

After hanging up the phone with Lauren, Chen Pingsheng called Sister Feilin and explained the situation.

"Pingsheng, it's okay. I can arrange interviews and shooting for you as soon as possible to avoid that month." Now Film Magazine is booming. With the help of Chen Pingsheng's fame, Film Magazine quickly established a foothold in the market, and its sales volume gradually increased. rising.

Feilin's original decision was undoubtedly correct, and now they were on the right track and began to catch up with the leading magazine in front.

This made Feilin even more grateful for her decision at that time, so now she basically responds to Chen Pingsheng's requests. She knows that the cooperation between the two parties will end sooner or later, but now she still strives to prevent this photographer with unlimited potential from leaving early.

"Well, what are you going to shoot next?" Chen Pingsheng asked about the magazine's arrangements.

"Do you remember Mr. Fan?" Feilin suddenly mentioned Fan Mei, whom she worked with before.

Of course Chen Pingsheng remembered that he was the owner of Jie Mei Art Museum.

"Remember, what happened?"

"She also wants to shoot another set of works about female beauty." Feilin continued: "Then there is also an interview with a singer. After it is completed, there will be no shooting before May."

"Okay, no problem." Chen Pingsheng agreed immediately. This kind of work rhythm was very good for him.

I worked hard for a week, made tens of thousands, and then took a break for more than a month.He can also do other things according to his own arrangement.

Not too leisurely at all.

After the two communicated, Chen Pingsheng received several text messages one after another in the afternoon.

They are the income from foreign film festivals and the income from domestic capital film festivals.

The revenue from the Capital Film Festival was exactly what they had expected. It was not as much as the Capital Film Festival, only 190 million.

But this is also very surprising.

Chen Pingsheng did the math and found that he had earned close to 400 million this time.

He was already beginning to feel sorry for the taxes he had paid.

It seems that the matter of opening a company must be arranged as soon as possible.

At this moment, he received a system task reminder.

"The seventh stage goal: 5000000 yuan. Achieved: 6057470. Mission reward: Photography inspiration points*3"

"Routine tasks: The photographer's way to make money has been completed."

Chen Pingsheng added points conveniently, and the photography inspiration reached 38 points.

Looking at the taskbar again, the regular money-making tasks have disappeared.

Unexpectedly, I accidentally achieved another goal completely. It seems that the day when the system mission ends is getting closer and closer.
-
On Monday, Chen Pingsheng came to his alma mater again and gave everyone a photography aesthetics class in the large exhibition hall of the Art Center.

There were 700 people attending the class that day, because after the school changed the location, they simply let it go and they could participate without registering.

So more people came.

The school leaders were also among them. The principal delivered a speech first, and then Chen Pingsheng gave a lecture.At the end, students asked questions, and it took a full two and a half hours to end.

Chen Pingsheng’s course this time did not go into depth, but rather talked about some interesting stories and experiences he had while filming “The Crow” and “The Museum of Perspective”.

The atmosphere at the scene was also very lively, and some girls were even very bold when they stood up and asked questions.

Ask Chen Pingsheng directly if he has a girlfriend.

When they found out there was no such thing, the whole audience cheered immediately.

It made him a little embarrassed.

And after the conference, many girls and boys ran to the stage, wanting to add his WeChat account.

Chen Pingsheng had to tell them his WeChat ID that he rarely used.

Although this experience of stars holding the moon was fascinating, he clearly knew that there were too many unstable factors hidden in this temptation.

You still have to keep yourself clean.

After the meeting, the school leaders had a dinner with him in the cafeteria. This is the private room of the third cafeteria, and it is also the most curious place for students on weekdays.

Because every guest is received here, the students and leaders are separated by a thick door and cannot see what is going on inside.

Therefore, Chen Pingsheng has always had this kind of curiosity.

But after eating, he found that it was actually quite normal. Except for some more expensive ingredients, it was not much different from hotels outside.

When he returned home, he found that the magpie outside the window was building a nest with branches that came from nowhere.

Chen Pingsheng took a look and saw that a corner of the original nest was missing. Looking downstairs, it turned out that someone had thrown something from the window and damaged its nest.

"No merit." He muttered, then took out his camera and took a picture of the magpie.
