Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 224 The self-recommended phone call

In a blink of an eye, it was time for Gesai to submit his work again.

In the global photography circle and major photography websites, the contest images of "Freeze the World" are clearly displayed on the front page, with many photos and messages from masters on them.

Although Chen Pingsheng does not yet have the status of a master, the officials still communicated with him and used several photos he took as proofs.

Now that the competition has begun, he naturally submitted his work directly.

This time he is participating in more awards, whether it is the best single photo of the year, the most creative photo of the year, or even category awards.

However, Chen Pingsheng was not so greedy. He just submitted "Yangtze River No. [-]" as the best single photo of the year.

And a group of photos from "Beiliu Huohuo" were selected as entries for the best breakthrough photo of the year.

Although the photos in "Beiliu Huohuo" are all very ordinary scenes, the poetry formed by the tone and atmosphere itself is the greatest creativity. This is something unique in the world and is the unique spirit of this work. .

As for the best photo album of the year, he does not need to submit any more works this time. The organizing committee will naturally collect all the works published this year for selection.

However, they did not cancel the electronic version of the album submission channel, but still retained it.

Perhaps it is to encourage more people to submit works and see if they can find astonishing works like "The Crow".

After submitting his work, Chen Pingsheng rushed to the capital again.

In the office of Film Magazine, a group of people were busy with proofreading work.

"Fei'er, there are typos here, please pay attention, pay attention!" The female editor-in-chief Lan Li skillfully circled several errors in the document, and then sent a screenshot to Li Fei'er.

Li Feier immediately responded: "Okay, I'll change it right away." She pushed away the pile of paper in front of her and sorted out the information needed for the magazine article.

The male editor-in-chief Zeng Tong works in a more direct way. He goes directly to everyone's computer to watch. If he is dissatisfied with something, he immediately looks at them.

The other party understood immediately and started to revise with a shiver down his spine.

When Chen Pingsheng walked into the office, he saw this scene.

"Teacher Chen?" Li Fei'er had sharp eyes and shouted out immediately after seeing him.

Suddenly everyone turned their attention to the door, and the lively atmosphere froze for a few seconds.

Chen Pingsheng twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment and waved his hands: "Long time no see, everyone."

"Teacher Chen!" The female editor who was nearby immediately stood up and welcomed him warmly. Several other colleagues also stood up and greeted him.

"Hello, Teacher Chen."

"Teacher Chen, what's the matter with coming to the magazine?"

"Teacher Chen, can you sign your name for me first?"

Except for a few chief editors who are still working, everyone else is eager to get close to Chen Pingsheng and use this reputation to take a legitimate rest.

Chen Pingsheng felt like a transfer student when he was a child, and his every move affected everyone's thoughts.

After finally walking from the office lobby to Feilin's office door, everyone dispersed one by one and returned to normal working conditions.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Please come in!"

Chen Pingsheng opened the door and found Feilin with her back to him, sorting a stack of information at her desk.

Today she was wearing a gray suspender skirt, a black coat, and high heels, revealing her smooth ankles.

She looked back and saw that it was Chen Pingsheng. She smiled and said, "Pingsheng is here. Sit down."

Only then did Chen Pingsheng realize that her hair had been cut short. Although it was not long originally, it had been cut to ear level this time, making her look more capable.

He took a disposable cup from the water dispenser, poured himself a glass of water, and then sat on the sofa.

Although there are many things on Feilin's table, it is not cluttered.On the left side are all the magazines since their publication, and on the right side are computers and some contract documents.

Looking behind the desk, you can also see a whiteboard with this month's sales target written on it.

Today, the sales volume of Film Magazine has reached the top five domestic fashion magazines and is heading towards the top three.

This is undoubtedly very fast. If it continues to grow with such momentum, this magazine will soon be able to compete with Huacai.

After Feilin finished packing her things, she walked to Chen Pingsheng and sat down.

"Have you heard?" She asked first without getting down to business.

"What did you hear?" Chen Pingsheng was a little confused.

"Wang Zeze was ordered to be banned for tax evasion." Feilin opened Weibo and showed him the latest hot searches.

"Why am I not surprised?" Chen Pingsheng couldn't help but smile. It felt good to see this guy being banned.

"His character was not good to begin with, but now all the major brands are busy cutting him off." Feilin also said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, the lawsuit between me and him is not over yet." Chen Pingsheng was talking about the lawyer's letter from the previous prosecution. Part of the reason for coming to the capital this time was to participate in the trial.

Of course, he believed that Wang Zeze would definitely not appear in court.

"It seems there is going to be a result." After Felin finished speaking, she suddenly changed the topic: "I thought about what you told me before, and we can actually cooperate in another way." What she said was Regarding the termination of the contract between Chen Pingsheng and Film Magazine.

Chen Pingsheng plans to end his contract with Film Magazine within this year because as his income from film festivals and photo albums continues to increase, he no longer needs to do this kind of commercial shooting.Moreover, this kind of fixed shooting also hindered Chen Pingsheng's plan to go abroad.

He plans to travel abroad more next year and take photos of different scenery and people.

So he told Feilin about this matter in advance. After all, they had cooperated for so long, and Feilin also knew him well.The explanation in advance was just enough for her to make arrangements in advance so that after Chen Pingsheng left, there would not be enough photographers for the finale.

"In what way?" Chen Pingsheng asked after hearing Feilin's words.

"Actually, I know that you will definitely have to travel around in the future. For you, shooting is more important. Therefore, we can change the long-term contract to a single contract, that is, we can cooperate when the time is right." Feilin said to herself Thoughts, her attitude now is very different from when they first met.

Not only does he have a gentle tone, but he also fully considers Chen Pingsheng.

This includes not only the affection between the two of them working together for such a long time, but also the factors that contribute to Chen Pingsheng’s extraordinary artistic status today.

Chen Pingsheng thought for a moment and nodded: "I think it's okay, but I may not be available at any time."

"It's okay." Feilin explained: "This is actually a little selfish on my part, because the magazine's sales are very good now. If I terminate the contract with you, it will actually be very demoralizing if I tell you about it." She did not hide her thoughts, but she also expressed more People appreciate her character that focuses on her work.

"Sister Feilin, what are you going to say then?" Chen Pingsheng looked at her curiously.

Feilin crossed her legs and said, "It's like being upgraded from a collaborator to a special photographer. Only guests or shooting plans with enough weight can allow you to take action."

"Hahaha, yes." Chen Pingsheng felt that this was indeed a good statement.

"By the way, Seya, have you been in contact recently?" Feilin asked suddenly after taking a sip of water.

"Seya? No, but I often check her Weibo, and she seems to be doing well now." Chen Pingsheng replied.

"Well..." Feilin seemed to want to say something, but she still didn't say it.

After the two chatted for a while, Feilin invited Chen Pingsheng out for dinner.

At this moment, Chen Pingsheng suddenly received a call.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Is this Mr. Chen Pingsheng?" There was a girl's voice on the other end of the phone.

"It's me, are you?"

"Do you need a photography assistant? Or does your studio need an intern?" The girl suddenly asked an unexpected question.

"Huh?" Chen Pingsheng didn't know how to answer for a while.

Because he didn't even know how his phone number was leaked, and the caller didn't seem to be a pyramid scheme or anything like that.

"Can I know how you got my phone number?" Chen Pingsheng asked curiously.

"Okay, I have been paying attention to your updates. After I found out that you established a company online, I checked the registered address." The girl on the other end of the phone said clearly: "After seeing that it is your alma mater, I I inquired about your alma mater through familiar people, and asked someone to find the name of the teacher who handled the procedures for you to start a business as a college student."

"Then I asked another friend to go through some operations and got your phone number and gave it to me."

Chen Pingsheng was speechless for a long time. He was a little shocked that this person had such high mobility and found him directly through a studio information. It was not too outrageous.

But he felt that this operation was really achievable, because his registration place was in the school, which was a studio specially assigned to him.

When he applied for it, he went through several teachers, and his basic information was clearly written on the document, especially his mobile phone number, which was the one he used.

"Can you tell me how your friend got my mobile phone number?" Chen Pingsheng became even more curious.

"Sorry, Teacher Chen, I have to keep it a secret from my friends." The girl rejected him.

"So you just want to apply for an assistant?" Chen Pingsheng felt that it was a bit simple to spend so much effort just for this purpose.

But the girl was very direct: "I really hope to learn your shooting techniques and concepts. This is very important to me."

"Are you studying photography?" Chen Pingsheng was keenly aware of the girl's determination in photography. Generally speaking, laymen would not be so sure that they must be a photographer in the future.

"..." After a short silence, the girl replied: "That's right."

"Still a college student, or just graduated." Chen Pingsheng continued to ask.

"That's right." The girl answered affirmatively.

As expected, he inferred it from the word "intern", and of course there was an element of gambling involved.

"And have you met me or communicated with me?" Chen Pingsheng thought that if he had never met me and didn't know his character and personality, he would not be so determined to learn photography from him.

But the girl gave an ambiguous answer: "Yes and no."

"What do you mean?" Chen Pingsheng was confused for a moment, but instead of being entangled, he said, "Then let's find a time to meet."

It's not that Chen Pingsheng thinks she can be an assistant, but it's quite curious when someone in life approaches him in such a way just to learn from him.

What does this girl look like?What is your identity?How are her photography skills?No one would miss the opportunity to meet.

And to be honest, Chen Pingsheng's curiosity almost overflowed from his heart.
