"Ladies and gentlemen, I have the honour to host the 26th edition of the French Winter Photography Festival, Léa Seydoux!" Before Chen Xing could find the organization in the crowd, he heard such a sentence coming from the stage, and then there was a cacophony in the venue, as if some big-name star had appeared, but Chen Xing had never heard of this name at all.

Maybe only in France fire? Looking towards the stage, a woman wearing a long white dress with a whole back exposed, holding a microphone and smiling onto the stage.

This temperament is not a star, and no one believes it.

"I didn't expect Mesut to find her to host."

"Does she have time? It seems that there is, but I haven't heard of any movies she is making this year. ”

"I love her performance in 007 so much, what attracts her the most is that there is a French feminine beauty, in which she has both the innocence of a child and the maturity of a woman, sometimes she looks like a teenage girl, sometimes she is graceful, and the air of a mature woman is coming."

"I still like "Adele's Life" filmed when she first debuted, her figure is really ......good" On the stage, Leia raised the microphone and said: "This year, the organizing committee invited me as a female host, I probably know why, probably thinking that it is cheaper to hire a female host than a male host." Chen Xing was looking for her information on the search software.

Then I knew she was joking. This woman is indeed not well-known in China, but she is a goddess-level figure in France, and it can only be said that the organizing committee has made a lot of money, and in order to attract ratings and public attention, she was invited.

After enlivening the atmosphere for 20 minutes, the host said: "First of all, we want to announce the Public Choice Award for this photo festival. At this time, it was no longer convenient for Chen Xing to talk to someone about things, so he also found a place to stand with Salonia to listen to the announcement of the awards, and waited until the award ceremony was over to find the group of senior brothers and sisters.

The Public Choice Award is selected by the audience after all the works are shortlisted, and the photos are posted on the official website.

Everyone knows which one it is.

"Congratulations, Edward, Perchis "Aurora in New Ålsund" Edward Perchis is British, and he also likes the aurora photos he took, and the aurora above the town shows a spiraling upward trend, which is different from the aurora he saw on the Internet before.

This kind of awards gala seems to be a general kind of gossip that goes far beyond the awards to be announced. Otherwise, there are several awards for this kind of photography festival, and if you say it in a short time, maybe the party will soon be over.

So everyone was in a happy and casual atmosphere, and the awards were carried out slowly.

“…… The next thing we want to announce is the Best Story, there are countless stories that happen in this world every year, and only a very small part of time can be recorded, and the magic wand in the hands of the photographer can keep these stories alive for a hundred years, or even longer. Leia opened the card in her hand and glanced at it.

"The winner of the Best Story Award at the 2021 French Winter Photography Festival is Xing Chen's "The Climber of the Snow Mountain"!" Chen Xing didn't react for a while, he came to this party to feel the atmosphere, after all, he only handed in his work yesterday, and then how could he have his own in the selection the next night?

Did I hear me right? Salonia was even more excited than Chen Xing, shook Chen Xing's arm, and after finding that there was no reaction, she shook it more vigorously.

"You've won a prize!" Chen Xing patted Ssalonia with his right hand to appease him, and hurriedly walked to the stage. He was completely confused.

The only sober thought was that he felt that Léa Seydoux was so fragrant, and it smelled different from the perfumes he had smelled on the street before, but it also made Chen Xing feel even more unreal.

"I have to tell the truth first, I didn't expect me to win an award at all, I am very grateful to the organizing committee for their love for me, and the companions who climbed the snowy mountain with me at the beginning, because of you, this work finally appeared - by the way, I also have to thank a certain photographer surnamed Zhang, if it weren't for you, maybe I wouldn't be standing here, thank you!"

"Well said!"

"Resist the art thieves!" Those who hadn't come over for the past two days asked their companions what was going on, and after knowing the details, they began to support Chen Xinglai.

Some photographers in Huaxia who watched the live broadcast on YouTube also sighed for Zhang Richao's matter.

This person has been in the industry for ten years, and he still has some friends in China, even if he is a person with poor character, as long as he knows how to disguise, he will mix well in a circle, after the incident was exposed yesterday, someone even posted a message on Weibo saying that Zhang Richao is not such a person.

But as the evidence became clearer, those who posted on Weibo also deleted their own comments. Although the editor of Nanfang Daily is not a person in the photography circle, he is also paying attention to this matter because of the fact that his affairs are so big.

Seeing Chen Xing mercilessly whipping Zhang Richao again at the awards party, he shook his head and said.

"The young man now, so ruthless, who is it, you let Zhang Richao go to the finance office to settle his salary, and let him go home to rest for the time being." If his words were known by netizens, it is estimated that he would reply a sentence.

"Not ruthless or post-zero?" The young people in the new era of China will not be accustomed to anyone, the office culture can manage the post-80s, and even some post-90s, but it will definitely not be able to manage the post-00s.

Back to Chen Xing, he was walking down with a trophy with a small camera on it, and people along the way were applauding, and people were congratulating him all the way.

This was followed by the most notable gold and silver awards. The silver award was won by a German photographer, and the gold award was won by Dennis.

After Chen Xing got off the stage, he thought a lot, and felt that his best was to win this story award, and if he could take portrait photography with this kind of story, and also led to a sport, it was Chen Xing's photo.

The talent for color and scenery can produce blockbusters. In the future, I will pay more attention to where there are photo contests, which is not faster than becoming an Internet celebrity on the Internet?

After a while, Chen Xing found the senior sister who was shooting documentary photography and asked, "If I want to sell this kind of photo to a magazine, how much will it cost?" ”

"What magazine?"

"It seems to be called purple"

"Oh? Are they going to buy your work? That's a good thing, but maybe you won't have a lot of money, and you're not as famous as you need them to concede. ”

"Is this magazine famous?"

"He's one of the best travel magazines in France, and if they use your work, at least you'll be famous in the French travel world, and you deserve to be praised for the quality of your climbs." She and Chen Xing introduced a few galleries, and said: "You don't have to deliberately look for it, it is estimated that many gallery owners will come to you in the past two days, and then you can find the best treatment among the ones I mentioned." "Some small galleries may have a good reputation, but if the strength is not good, it is easy to harm the contracted photographer, which is also empathetic to the senior sister, when she first debuted, because she was an art student who changed careers, she didn't understand anything, and she wasted a few years in vain.

"By the way, don't publish your work on other websites, otherwise your work will be easily stolen just like this time, you can make your own website, just put some of the best photos on it, don't worry about whether it will be found, people who need it will definitely find your website."

"Thank you, senior sister." Chen Xing has a good impression of this thirty-year-old senior sister, this good impression is definitely not the emotion of men and women before, but a feeling of closeness, maybe this is what others feel when facing themselves?

In the next hour, Chen Xing got a business card that was two centimeters thick. Most of them are photographers, but also galleries, curators, models...... Don't look at some of them, Chen Xing can't be used, but who can say who will be able to win an award at this kind of photography festival at such a young age?

The sooner you get to know each other, the sooner you accumulate contacts. Among them, the dog looks down on people and looks at the dishes on the plate, which has become more and more rare with the development of the times.

As long as he still has such thoughts, then this person will definitely not go far in his career, and it is impossible for him to enter this kind of party.

Chen Xing's alcohol consumption was not good, and when he drank until about eleven o'clock, he was a little overwhelmed, and left the hall with Salonia.

After entering the elevator, Chen Xing pressed 11 and looked at Salonia twice without a trace. He didn't open a room for Ssalonia, which meant that Ssalonia would have to live in her own room after going up to the 11th floor.

Well, it looks like I'm going to get a good night's sleep tonight. …………………… Chen Xing's visa expired on December 21, and unfortunately, Chen Xing missed the opportunity to spend the New Year in France as a foreigner and then return to China for another New Year.

However, when he returned to Paris, he could already feel the enthusiasm of the French for Christmas.

Paris is still the same cold day, and there is no such pleasant climate as in southern France. But the streets are at least twice as decorated in red and white as they were when Mr. Chen left Paris, with polar bears in the windows of clothing and Christmas trees in large shopping malls.

The children on vacation happily played a game of chasing on the street, using pedestrians as roadblocks to avoid their friends, full of childlike fun.

But if you're the roadblock, it's a headache. Chen Xing raised his hand holding the bag, waited until the children continued to run forward, and then went to pick up his luggage and take a ride to the airport.

He was supposed to go back to Paris yesterday, but for some personal reasons he stayed in Nice for another day, and in addition to accompanying his new friends, Chen Xing also handled the contract for the use of his work by Purple magazine.

Chen Xing of the gallery has to think again, after all, he will come to Paris to study next year, so he is not in a hurry to sign a contract now.

Signing a contract is a matter of a few years, a good agent can plan the best career route for you, a little worse, or the agent you signed with doesn't value you, then you have to pile up your work for several years.

When I went out of customs, I didn't check it as strictly as when I entered the country, I just briefly looked through Chen Xing's luggage, and then wasted a lot of time in confirming whether the gifts Chen Xing bought were genuine.

After getting on the plane, Chen Xing opened his notebook and looked at the materials taken during this time. Now the planes are also high-tech, he has always thought that all the planes can not use mobile phones, can not be connected, but these international airlines can not only be connected, they also provide wifi signal.

It took half an hour for Chen Xing to sort out all the photos. If Chen Xing is asked to score this trip to France, he can score 100 points, not to mention the scenery he sees and the photos he takes, that is, he can score 100 points by entering the world's top art schools and winning the award of the French Winter Photography Festival.

And both of these things were a bonus. It's like you get drunk and buy the Argentine champion, then put the ticket in your clothes, and then when the World Cup is over you suddenly realize that you actually bought them to win...... Win hemp.

Chen Xing had the idea of writing a travelogue again. He wanted to write before, but he couldn't write it because of his poor writing, so he finally gave up.

Now that he has a talent for writing, it was so easy to write more serious travelogues before, but now it is easier to write, wouldn't it be easier to post travelogues in his own news?

He will definitely not upload the original photo again, only release the compressed one, and still carry a watermark. He wrote a very good travelogue, and within three hours of getting on the plane, he wrote down a small part of his travel experience in France.

During the time that Chen Xingfei was in the sky, the chess and card room in Chen Xing's hometown received an inexplicable package.

Chen's mother is not very curious, and nothing can affect her to eat melon seeds and watch the drama, but after her husband tore the package, she still felt a little strange when she saw that it was a red book.

"This is the book?"

"Well, there's an envelope." Hearing the envelope, Chen's mother became a little interested and said, "It should be money in it, right?" ”

"I don't know." Chen Jiannan took out a letter from under the book, and when he saw that his son's name was written on the envelope, he frowned, and felt that things didn't seem to be simple.

He hesitated for a moment to open it and look at it, but Chen's mother didn't have the idea of reserving her son's privacy, so she took the envelope and opened it to see.

There were 20 dollars in it as well as a piece of paper. China National Geographic Magazine. Notification of Manuscripts. Comrade Chen Xing: Your article "Ancient Village in Southern Yunnan: Thousands of Mirrors Reflecting the Smoke of Cooking" has been accepted by our journal and will be published in the first issue of China National Geographic magazine in 2022.

In fact, the notice of manuscript use should be sent to the author in advance, but when did Chen Xing hand over the manuscript to the magazine?

They didn't have much time to prepare, so they could only send it to Chen Xing along with the trial issue. Chen Xing's receipt in China is generally the mahjong parlor at home.

After all, only this kind of façade will be delivered to the door, otherwise if you meet a courier company far away, you have to walk for half an hour to get the express in winter, and the mood of dismantling the express is gone.
