Chapter 296: Rainy Night Terminal
The design of the cover is not expensive, it is really not expensive. Chen Xing wants to find his alumni to do it, although there is a shortage of many art majors in their school, there is absolutely no shortage of designers, graphic design is also the top major in Paris High Decoration, and the number of outstanding seniors is too many to count.
But this price is placed in Huaxia, and the layout of the whole book plus the cover is enough. Typesetting Chen Xing will do it himself.
His knowledge of art was enough for him to complete the contents of the pages neatly and beautifully, and Chen Xing even confiscated their fees for this part of the money.
Due to Chen Xing's tight schedule, this cooperation was very fast. The cover Todderlin found a senior sister to do it, mainly because of the alumni relationship, and it is easy to communicate with any problem.
If they had hired a random designer to make the cover of the book, it would have been a purely commercial relationship.
It may not be satisfying to Chen Xing. Before Chen Xing left for Paris, Chen Xing completed the typesetting of his travelogue on his computer, and a large number of photographs were converted into a format more suitable for printing.
Wang Juncai, who was also a publishing house at the time of departure, drove Chen Xing to the airport.
"Teacher Chen Xing, don't worry, when the physical book is made, I will definitely send you a copy first."
"Don't worry, I've been waiting for this book for a long time, I'd rather slow down than let him press the bottom of the box, alas, after all, it's my first time publishing a physical book, and I'm still a little nervous." Wang Juncai shook his head and said, "Teacher Chen Xing, don't worry. The quality of your book is recognized by all of our editors. It's been a long time since I've seen such a good, comprehensive travelogue, and the photos in it are all good-looking, and more importantly, ...... You also have a preface written by Sophie Marceau, which alone will make many people buy your book. "Regardless of the quality, a French travelogue with a preface by Sophie Marceau will definitely be bought by many fans of Sophie Marceau.
Whether these people have the time to travel or not, they will feel in their hearts that sooner or later they will go to France.
So it's definitely not a loss to buy one in advance. And the quality is not good? They are a publisher that publishes travelogues, photographic books, descriptions of scenic spots, and more.
If only one person thinks that Chen Xing's book is good, it is possible that he read it wrong, but Chen Xing's book is very popular with all editors.
Stylish and beautiful street photography, graphic descriptions of scenery, heartwarming travel stories, and detailed introductions to Paris and the various districts.
…………………… Flights, transfers. When the flight arrived over Paris, due to the heavy rain at night, it had to hover over the airport for two hours, resulting in the final landing at 1 o'clock in the morning, and there were few staff members still working in the entire airport.
The bad news: there are no cars going to get to the city. Good news: there are hotels inside the airport. People who are stranded at the airport because of the delay can stay in the hotel for one night for free and leave tomorrow morning.
Waiting at the place where I got my luggage, next to a Frenchman I met on the plane, living in Baron.
He sighed and said, "I could have seen my wife in the morning when the sun rose, but it's all the damn Air France, I'm going to report them." Chen Xing looked at the people around him and said, "I'm sorry to tell you, maybe most of the people are very satisfied with their compensation." We've been flying in the sky for a long time and urgently need a warm bed to rest on instead of coming here at 11 o'clock to squeeze the subway. "How chaotic Paris is at night, Chen Xing doesn't dare to run around.
The Frenchman snorted and said, "They're okay." "It's also very fast to get through customs, and it is estimated that these inspectors do not want to work for an hour in the middle of the night just to rummage through the backpacks of these tourists.
And because it was raining heavily outside the terminal, customs also gave everyone a black umbrella.
I have to say that they are really compensated in place. He pulled out a windbreaker in the suitcase and put it on, and walked out of the terminal with an umbrella, but at the door of the terminal, Chen Xing saw an Asian woman arguing with the security guard.
She doesn't speak French and the security guard's English is poor. It's completely ineffective communication. Chen Xing stopped with an umbrella for a while, hearing that she was going to catch the earliest flight this morning, and was afraid that she would be late, so she wanted to wait in the terminal of the airport in advance.
But the terminal here says that when you get off work at night, it's really off work. The people inside can come out, and the people outside will definitely not put it in.
"I'm going to sit inside and shelter from the rain for two hours, it's raining so hard outside, do you really want me to be outside! Please, just let me in. Aren't there a lot of staff inside? And why did they come out? "The security guard was stiff in English with just one phrase.
"I'm sorry." In fact, Chen Xing was very skeptical that he didn't understand it all. Although she didn't know which country she was from, Chen Xing still went up to help her translate in the spirit of humanitarianism, and said to the security guard: "This lady wants to go into the terminal to rest for two hours, she is on tomorrow morning's flight, she is your customer, can you let her in?" Hearing Chen Xing's fluent French, the security guard sighed and said, "I'm sorry, but I can't let people in, it's a rule." Chen Xing couldn't help it, so he talked to her in English, and then asked, "Are you from Huaxia?" ”
"I am, I'm studying in the UK, I'm going to go back to France for a tour, oh my God, I'm about to cry." She was indeed on the verge of crying.
When I came to France alone, I had some wonderful experiences before, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing when I left.
Do I have to stand outside the terminal for two hours just because I came two hours early?
Normally, you can sit on the bench outside on a sunny day, but today it is raining heavily, how can you sit? She can only carry a 28-inch suitcase and a bag on her back, standing at the entrance and exit of the terminal, unable to enter or go out, and her heart is dark.
Chen Xing thought about it, didn't leave the terminal, and turned around and returned to the airport. The security guard did not stop Chen Xing.
Most of the shops in the terminal were closed, but McDonald's was still open, Chen Xing went in to ask them for a few more flyers, and went out to say to the girl: "You use this simple pad, at least it won't rain when you sit here, and there will be no wind, and two hours will pass quickly." Then Chen Xing gave her the umbrella, took off the windbreaker, and said, "You put on the clothes, and the umbrella will be given to you." Chen Xing waited for a while to rub someone else's umbrella.
No matter how bad it is, run straight over, anyway, the hotel at the airport is a hundred meters in front of it.
"No need!" How could she accept something from a stranger.
"Wear it, it's a little cold when it's raining today." Chen Xing said with a smile. At this time, Chen Xing's leader on the plane also walked out with an umbrella, Chen Xing hurriedly said goodbye to his sister, and then quickly ran under his umbrella and prepared to go to the airport hotel opposite with him.
She watched Chen Xing walk far away. Then he put down the umbrella in his hand and put on his clothes. Although it is only a windbreaker, the warmth performance is worrying.
But I don't know if it's the residual smell on this dress that makes her feel so warm on this rainy night.
