Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 276 She was pulled by reality

Chen Pingsheng's "Beiliu Huohuo" was selected to be included in the Louvre Museum's contemporary art exhibition. As a representative of the Huaxia District, there will be a week-long exhibition next year with the works of photographers from other countries.

This news is undoubtedly very exciting. After all, the Louvre is the first of the four major museums and is known to people all over the world.

Being able to represent China at the exhibition will greatly improve Chen Pingsheng's image.

Shah also called him right after he landed. She was also responsible for this matter, which was something she had been pushing for.

"Thank you, Shah." Chen Pingsheng thanked her.

But Shah smiled and said: "You're welcome, Chen. During the exhibition, your presence was the greatest help to me."

"Don't worry, Shah, of course it's no problem." Chen Pingsheng did not hesitate. He currently has no new creations, so he can roam around the world.

Now that the work has entered the Louvre, of course I have to go to the platform and be interviewed.

"Okay, that's settled, see you then."

"see you then."

Chen Pingsheng hung up the phone and parted ways with Huang Liao at the airport. He would go directly back home to spend the new year.

The same goes for Polygonum spp.

So when the plane entered the northeastern boundary of the capital and Chen Pingsheng looked down at the entire land, he felt that his heart suddenly became quiet.

After taking a taxi from the airport, Chen Pingsheng was warmly welcomed by his parents as expected. After that, they had a long talk after a long absence. The family talked about many things about the future, marriage, work, and life.

Chen Pingsheng was also able to put down photography and stay at home peacefully for a week.

Then he returned to South China and went to visit Professor Li at his home the next day.

"Life is here." Professor Li was very happy to see his best student again after a few months, and started cooking in the kitchen without saying a word.

Her home has also changed recently, probably because her children have returned. There are many more decorations in the living room, and some old furniture has been replaced.

Especially the new sofa was very comfortable. After Chen Pingsheng lay down, he felt like his whole body was sinking into it.

After having dinner at Professor Li's house, Chen Pingsheng and the professor sat on the sofa. Professor Li was not used to such a soft sofa and sat on the harder sofa block next to him.

"What are your plans for the next step in your life?" Professor Li asked, holding a cup of hot water in his hand.

"I still plan to continue making albums." Chen Pingsheng answered truthfully.

"Okay, I'll buy it for you. I'll prepare a bookshelf for you." Not only Professor Li, but also other teachers who taught Chen Pingsheng in the school also collected Chen Pingsheng's works.

In this way, when relatives and guests come in, I can still say that this is a student I taught, which will give me more face.

"It won't fill up the bookshelves." Chen Pingsheng smiled and replied: "While I am young and energetic, I will take more photos. I will definitely not publish so many photo albums every year in the future."

"Well, that's good. But does Ge Sai have some influence on you?" Professor Li has been paying attention to Chen Pingsheng's current situation, and naturally he is also aware of Ge Sai's unfair situation.

"Some." Chen Pingsheng nodded and took a sip of water.

"Don't take it too seriously. After all, you have done things that many people couldn't predict. Now you just need to continue to move forward step by step." Professor Li comforted him.

"Don't worry, teacher, I know."

After the two chatted about their works for a while, Professor Li changed the topic: "Do you know what Seya has been doing recently?"

"I don't know, we haven't chatted much recently, what's wrong?" Chen Pingsheng frowned, feeling that there seemed to be something in Professor Li's words.

"She hasn't posted much on WeChat or Weibo during this period. When I called her, I just said she was busy." Professor Li sighed: "Her parents are not in the country, so I, the grandmother, can only care about her from time to time. But she didn’t tell me anything, so I was a little worried.”

"Teacher, I will ask her about her situation recently, and I will tell you if there is anything." Chen Pingsheng said that he would ask.

"Well, you and she are of the same age, so you can talk to each other." Professor Li put down his cup and looked at the listless plants on the balcony.

"Why haven't I heard from you recently?" Chen Pingsheng sent an inquiring message to Wei Seya at seven o'clock that night, wanting to know about her current situation.

But I waited until ten o'clock in the evening and still did not receive a reply.

It wasn't until he was about to go to sleep in the early morning that he received a reply from Wei Seya.

"I was just busy recording a variety show."

"What kind of variety show are you recording so late at night?"

"...I can't say it's a music show."

"Okay, have you been so busy lately?" Chen Pingsheng turned over on the bed, waiting for her reply.

10 minutes later, "Yeah, I've been very busy. I don't know what I'm busy with. I feel so tired."

"I went to the teacher's house today, and she said you haven't called her recently."

"I'm busy, so I can't call every day."

Chen Pingsheng was keenly aware that Wei Seya's state seemed not right, because it was completely inconsistent with her usual personality. She was not the kind of girl who blindly shirks her responsibilities, but today she felt full of resistance.

So he sent a message: "Are you worried about anything recently?"

no respond.

Chen Pingsheng continued to send a message: "If there is anything, don't hold it in your heart."

Still no response.

It seems that the person behind the screen has gone to sleep, or she does not intend to reveal her true emotions.

Chen Pingsheng felt that something must have happened. Is there something bothering Wei Seya during this period?
Then he started searching for Wei Seya's news in the past six months.

Most of them are scandals, such as which male star you stayed in the same hotel with, or who you flirted with on the set.

But later it turned out that they were all fake. They were in the same hotel because of the crew, and the flirting was because of the script.

It can only be said that these are all gimmick materials released by the crew to attract the audience and increase the popularity of the work.

Chen Pingsheng also went out of his way to read the ratings of this costume drama and the clips from the series.

A rating of four points means that this drama is not worth watching by passers-by.

However, the character played by Wei Seya is not as good as her modern dress in both image and style, causing many passers-by to complain and say she is ugly.

As for acting, how can such a buff-stacked costume drama from a popular niche exist?

Therefore, there was a lot of negative talk online, and many of the words involved personal attacks. Chen Pingsheng was a little angry after seeing it.But did Wei Seiya become anxious and silent because of this kind of thing?He had heard her say before that in the artist team, those who manage various accounts are actually staff.

So if you want to prevent your own artists from seeing negative comments, or see a small number of negative comments, it is not difficult.

Wei Seya's team should be like this. Even if there are anti-fan attacks, Chen Pingsheng feels that because of her personality, she will not care.

So Chen Pingsheng continued to stay up late searching, and even got into her super chat in order to learn more.

It was also in Super Talk that he saw more things about Wei Seiya, such as her daily schedule and her recent updates.

Chen Pingsheng found that they were all variety shows and TV dramas, which did not seem to be in line with her own preferences.

Wei Seya wanted to become a singing and dancing singer from the beginning, but at present, it seems that she is still far away from being a singer. Even singing and dancing have become a talent rather than a mainstay.

He didn't know whether this gap was the culprit of Wei Seya's current situation.However, he did see a lot of clips of Wei Seya saying on some programs that she preferred singing and dancing.

Even fans say they want Seiya to develop into a singer instead of into a TV series.

But capital is all about money. The biggest monetization channel for popular artists is to film TV series, variety shows, and receive endorsements.The money earned is much higher than that of being a singer. As the domestic music market continues to sink and the threshold continues to lower, it has completely entered the era of "privatization" and "labeling".

Producing 10,000+ pieces of music every day diverts the public's attention, and the software's push puts different labels on users.As a result, it is difficult to see the grand scene of a hundred schools of thought contending like in [-].

This is the choice of the times, capital, and the general public.

Everyone has chosen the fastest way to make money and the most convenient way to listen to music, without considering what side effects this will have on the music industry.

And in this industry, old singers can always reap their own dividends. As long as they don't have the ambition to win awards, there won't be anyone to replace them in a few decades.

New singers are faced with the embarrassment of being unable to break out of the circle despite having a fixed audience, and can only make small fuss in their own corner.

Chen Pingsheng checked until five o'clock in the morning before vaguely confirming that perhaps it was the difference between ideals and reality that led to Wei Seya's current strange state.

After thinking about it, he turned on his phone and planned to send Wei Seya another message.

But after thinking for a long time, I didn't have any clue.

Suddenly, looking at the WeChat interface, he remembered Wei Seya's assistant. They had also added WeChat, but they had never spoken. Chen Pingsheng had almost forgotten her.

what do you say that is?Chen Pingsheng kept looking for contacts, and finally his finger settled on a name.

Ah Bing.
-
"Ding dong."

"Ding dong."

"Um... who's here in the middle of the night..." A Bing's cell phone was placed next to her pillow. This was her sleeping habit. Not muting it was also to avoid the embarrassment of not receiving it when the artist needed it.

Although Wei Seya never sent messages late at night, her manager, Sister Xuan, didn't care. When something happened, she would even call them directly to wake them up from their sleep.

Ah Bing turned over with difficulty, opened his eyes and looked at the faint light coming from the window, knowing that it was daytime.

She picked up the phone with one hand and glared at the camera skillfully. The screen immediately unlocked, and on the WeChat message interface, a strange avatar had a red dot.

"Who is this?" Ah Bing didn't react for a while, but when she saw the content, she suddenly woke up.

"This isn't..." She looked at the profile photo carefully and made sure it was Wei Seya's male photographer friend.

Although she thought the two were a couple before, Wei Seya later said they were just friends, so she stopped caring.

Unexpectedly, he actually sent me a message.

Ah Bing looked at the text on WeChat and muttered: "Seya's condition...want to chat with me?"

She put the phone on her chest, closed her eyes and frowned, gritted her teeth and thought for a moment, then said to herself: "Let's talk to him... After all, he is closer to Sister Seya..."
-
"Hello, Brother Chen." A Bing's voice rang on the other end of the phone, and Chen Pingsheng asked, "I didn't delay you."

"It's okay. What do you want to ask?" It was ten o'clock in the morning. Wei Seya and her agent, Sister Xuan, were both in the program recording team. A Bing and other staff members were watching backstage.

"You should know Seiya's recent status."

Ah Bing was silent for a moment and said, "I know, we have also advised you."

"So why?" Chen Pingsheng asked.

"Well, how should I put it, it's a bit complicated..."

As Ah Bing recalled, he told Chen Pingsheng many things that Wei Seya had experienced before.

Chen Pingsheng's guess was correct. Wei Saya seemed particularly negative because her ideas were not supported.At the beginning, she and her agent, Sister Xuan, worked well together because Sister Xuan made her money and found some good opportunities for her.

But later, as Wei Seya's business value gradually increased, she began to take more control, whether it was life or work, she had to intervene in everything.

And once Wei Seya wants to express singing and dancing and wants to develop in this area, she will persuade Wei Seya to give up this idea.

Ah Bing himself has seen two people quarreling because of different ideas many times, but it was obvious that Wei Seya could not quarrel with her agent.

And because the contract she signed with the platform was an Overlord Agreement, the agent’s appointment was not something she could decide to change.So as emotions continue to accumulate, there are more and more conflicts between the two parties.

It's like a couple who have no feelings for each other anymore, just like a family that has to be together because of their children.

Ah Bing often feels that she is that child, feeling the cold atmosphere and silent confrontation.

After a period of time, several little sisters have quit their jobs.

After listening to this, Chen Pingsheng understood Wei Seya's recent state. She was at her most irritable, and the unresolved reality created an irreconcilable conflict with her own plans for the future.

Of course she wants to make money, but she doesn't want to make money like her agent said.

And she is not particularly obsessed with money.

After all, she is here to realize her dream.

But now the dream is shattered and can no longer be realized.

"What if she applies to the company to change her agent?" Chen Pingsheng asked.

"Sister Seya thought about it and mentioned it, but the company didn't agree and instead advised them to work together."

"I understand." Chen Pingsheng nodded to express his understanding.

"So, Brother Chen, can you persuade Sister Seya to be happy?"

Chen Pingsheng looked at the magpie with its child by the window and replied, "I don't know either. I'll see what happens when I get there."
