Chapter 195: Photo Contest
Sophio took the manuscript and looked at it for a moment, then frowned. In order to be able to return to China and get close to Wei Sixian, she has worked hard abroad, learned all the basics of photography, and is a professional photographer herself.
Some foreign fields are still relatively strong, so this manuscript is not very perfect, after thinking about it, she nodded slightly and smiled at Wei Sixian: "I have some suggestions and ideas, your manuscript is a good inspiration, but it is a little lacking in skills and pictures." ”
Hearing her say this, Wei Sixian suddenly became interested, pulled Sophio to sit down suspiciously, and asked humbly, "Can you tell me more specifically?" ”
"Of course." Sophio smiled naturally, spread out all the manuscripts on the table, and took a pen to plan.
"If you look at the composition and the picture here, if you want to shoot such an effect, you have to have a crucial moment, and it's not so easy to complete."
"And the set and colors of this plan, isn't it a little inappropriate to use it in this style?"
Sophio pointed out the small problems little by little, and Wei Sixian listened carefully throughout the whole process, her eyes often lit up during the process, and she followed her train of thought to think. In the end, Wei Sixian had to admire Sophio for having such insights and abilities.
"Thank you so much, I feel enlightened and inspired now."
She was pleasantly surprised, and felt that the studio had really come back with a personal talent, and smiled very sincerely at Sophio with the manuscripts.
"I also talk about what I think and what I learned abroad, and I can really help you."
The corners of Sophio's mouth were slightly hooked, and her eyebrows and eyes slightly showed a hint of superiority.
"I'm going to invite you to dinner, not only to thank you for helping me this time, but also to thank you for negotiating a big collaboration for the studio before. I should have asked you too. ”
Wei Sixian has always wanted to find an opportunity to thank her, and this time she had the opportunity.
"Thank you then."
Sophio did not refuse, and the two agreed to go out for a reunion this weekend.
Finally came to this day, on Saturday afternoon, Wei Sixian and Sophio came to a Su restaurant together, which was elegantly decorated and clean, reflecting the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River everywhere.
The waiters, all dressed in aqua blue cheongsams that looked pleasing to the eye, booked double cubicles, which were filled with smoke and incense around the room. Potted flowers all give a fresh feeling.
"You two, please take a seat and look at the menu."
The waiter put the electronic menu in front of them, Wei Sixian smiled and asked Sophio to order what she liked, and finally the two of them each ordered half, and the waiter left and drank tea and ate dessert together.
"It's been a long time since I've enjoyed this kind of environment, and I feel very kind, and I want to thank you, boss."
Sophio took an elegant sip of tea, smiled at the corner of her eyes, and briefly looked at the room.
"You just call me Xiaoxian, our studio is not so restrained."
Wei Sixian has always played well with employees, and her title is even more casual.
"Okay, Xiaoxian."
As soon as these two words were spoken, Sophio's eyes rolled slightly, and she couldn't help but think of the past, but everything had passed, and she was no longer her former self. All has changed.
The two looked at each other and smiled, because of photography, they had a feeling of being a confidant. Classic dishes come up one after another, enlivening the atmosphere. Wei Sixian only needed some sweet soup, and she was afraid that Sophio had just come out of the hospital, so she didn't think about drinking anymore.
"You eat more, and this soup can nourish your stomach. When I think of you drinking until my stomach bleeds, I feel very guilty and regret that I didn't stop you at that time. ”
This is still a dereliction of duty on the part of his boss, Wei Sixian sighed slightly.
"You don't have to feel guilty, I'm already part of the studio, and I deserve to do something. Besides, it's none of your business, if you didn't drink it at that time, that Wang would have to turn his face, and the follow-up would be even more troublesome. ”
Sophio didn't care much, but looked at Wei Sixian's guilty appearance, and felt a little happy in her heart.
The words were spoken, and the guilt in Wei Sixian's heart was also put down, and now in the face of Sophio, in addition to love, it is appreciation.
Two women of about the same age had a lot in common, they ate and talked at just the right pace, and the room was full of laughter.
"I really didn't expect there to be so many interesting things, it's all part of your rich experience."
Wei Sixian praised and teased, listening to her talk about a series of things that happened in foreign countries, and some interesting friends she made.
Judging from the short time they have been together in the past few days, she thinks that Sophio is very knowledgeable, has a maturity beyond her age, and is a very good woman. Anyway, it's a bit of a no-brainer.
Most women believe in their own feelings, and she also feels lucky to have such a confidant.
"Alas, in fact, my personality was not so lively and cheerful at the beginning, but it was just to cater to life." March Chinese
Sophio sighed suddenly, the corners of her eyes drooping, a little sad.
"What's wrong?"
Turning his head and seeing Wei Sixian's somewhat worried and curious look, Sophio smiled proudly in her heart. All her current identities are fake, of course, she has to make up some fictitious things to deceive Wei Sixian's trust.
After all, after so many years, I still know what she looks like.
"Most of it comes from family reasons. When I was a child, the most common thing was my parents arguing. ”
"Dad cheated later, and his attitude towards me and my mother changed 180 degrees, and the most ridiculous thing is that my mother only has love in her heart, and I'm just an accessory."
Sophio said, a fake self-deprecating smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes reddened slightly.
"She has been a spoiled princess since she was a child, her family is good, and everyone spoils her. After being with my father, my eyes were full of him, as if I had soaked in a honey pot. I was born only because of family needs. ”
"When my dad had another woman and hated her, my mom went crazy, she thought I was useless and couldn't keep my dad's heart."
Hearing this, Wei Sixian's brows were already tightly furrowed, she couldn't imagine how a little girl could grow up in such a situation where her parents didn't love her, but if she was a little darker, maybe her life would change dramatically in the future.
She sympathized with Sophio and couldn't help but take her arm comfortingly.
"You know what? My mother poured all her resentment on me, insulting me, beating me, and being cold and violent. I didn't know what I was doing wrong at the time, so I could just hide in my room and cry, and there was no one to help me. ”
Sophio made it up as much as she could, the expression on her face became more and more sad, and Wei Sixian also pinched her heart for her.
"And then?"
"I endured a life in purgatory like this for several years, and when I became an adult, I took the money I had saved and the money I asked my father for, and went to South Korea by myself."
She took a sip of the soup, and as things gradually got better, there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.
"By chance, I got into photography. When I watched the beautiful scenery freeze and saw the magic of nature, I felt calm. ”
"I used to be alone everywhere taking pictures, but then I met a lot of like-minded friends, my personality has changed, and I am no longer so resentful about the past."
Wei Sixian can feel her emotional changes, and photography does have such a wonderful ability. Blue sea, blue sky, breeze, brilliant colors. Every scenery makes people linger and heal their moods. Taking pictures of what she sees and hears and seeing more beautiful things in her limited life is also a spiritual enjoyment, so she understands Sophio.
"It's all gone."
Seeing a tear of relief in the corner of Sophio's eye, she pulled out the paper and handed it to her, giving her a warm smile.
"If you can choose your own future and path, it proves that you have strong willpower and dreams, and photography is equivalent to a cure for you, so you will definitely be better in the future."
Hearing this, Sophio smiled very happily, she changed her slightly sad mood just now, and scooped a bowl of sweet soup for Wei Sixian, and the two drank wine together, and their care for each other became closer.
In such an afternoon, Wei Sixian was already able to treat her as a best friend, and her trust in Sophio has reached a higher level.
Thinking of the 10 million contract she negotiated for the studio, Wei Sixian also felt that she couldn't treat others badly, and she must give the opportunity she deserved.
"Recently, a magazine I have cooperated with held a photo contest that requires only one person from the studio to participate in the competition. Originally, I hadn't thought about it yet, but now I want to give you this opportunity, you have just returned to China and need a little bit of awards and competitions to prove yourself. ”
Wei Sixian said and showed her the general background of the magazine, as well as some requirements for the photography competition and the jury, which is very formal and authoritative, and it would be great if she could win the award.
"Can I really do it? The people who participated in the competition must be very good, and I am still far behind. ”
Sophio didn't believe in herself, the jury was all respected photographers, and she was just a little-known photographer, very unconfident.
The most important thing is that she didn't plan to participate in any competitions at all, but Wei Sixian said that she couldn't refuse.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you register, but there are no restrictions on the entries. Those who have won awards in the past can still participate, so it is inevitable that some bigwigs will participate, but you don't have to be afraid. ”
Wei Sixian wants her to be more confident, this circle is not based on qualifications, whoever has good photos is excellent.
"You just have to prepare a photo that you are most satisfied with, and you must think about it and strive to make a splash. Bringing out your best form and inspiration is also an attempt. ”
Hearing this, Sophie Luo had a very surprised and heart-warming expression, and looked at Wei Sixian gratefully: "Then I'll think about it, I have to prepare well, I haven't thought about it yet, it's too sudden." I've never participated in such a big competition. ”
She took a sip of water as if frightened, looking apprehensive and expectant, Wei Sixian chuckled when she saw this: "Don't be nervous, you think slowly, I don't force you, I just said to give you this opportunity to fight." I know you love photography, so think about it carefully. ”
Everyone's pursuit is different, some people just like photography, some people want to show their abilities, it all depends on what Sophio thinks.
