travel starts with photography

The old men on the left are playing chess, and seven or eight people are watching the two playing chess. There are a few middle-aged people sitting on the right, talking about the current international situation. One of them is very confident about Mao Zi's combat effectiveness, and his words are full of praise for the big country. of trust.

"We will definitely see the result within a month!"

"Maybe half a year, but not a month, right?"

Then they talked about international aid and public opinion condemned...

Bai Yuzhu listened very attentively.

In the past, she could only see some arrogant parents in the village, and the TV she watched only showed some erotic dramas. It turns out that in 2023, there are still countries at war. The word war is so far away from her, but now she only across a table.

"Interested in foreign countries?"

"Hehe." Bai Yuzhu smiled sheepishly.

I feel that as a person who has just left a small mountain village in Guizhou, I am a bit shy to talk to Chen Xing about such foreign things.

"I'll take you out for a look when I have time."

Bai Yuzhu suddenly remembered Chen Xing's personal encyclopedia that she had seen before.

Most of the achievements were achieved abroad.

"But I don't speak foreign languages. I can't even speak Mandarin clearly."

"As long as you have the ability, it doesn't matter if you know foreign languages. Just practice hard in the future."

There are so many photographers who don’t speak English. After all, photography is the art of light and shadow, and it has nothing to do with words. It’s not about cross talk.

The work is what gives the photographer the confidence to speak.

Before Bai Yuzhu convinced her family, it was not convenient for Chen Xing to talk too much about things in the photography circle. If she went back and couldn't get out, it might be a thorn in her heart for the rest of her life.

So Chen Xing talked a little more relaxedly, saying how the French like it, and how the Norwegians like it...

…………

After sending Bai Yuzhu away, Chen Xing began to deal with recruitment matters.

As early as a year ago, Chen Xing could see many people looking for cooperation on Bizhan. Chen Xing also accepted the high-priced ones among them. If Chen Xing could not make money by selling his works, he would accept such projects that cost thousands of dollars every day. No matter what the style is, it will definitely be no problem to support oneself in the city of Chengdu.

In the second half of last year, Chen Xing's reputation abroad gradually spread to China, and there were more such filming appointments, and many of them seemed to be business cooperation.

Let's cooperate with these. Chen Xing feels that it is a waste of time and a waste of money if he accepts it, but if he doesn't accept it, Chen Xing still feels a little heartbroken when he sees so much money running away from him.

When money comes to use, you will regret it. He looked at the shops in the Second Ring Road and felt that he was still poor.

It's a bit expensive to buy, but it's more cost-effective to rent.

That’s why I thought of signing some photographers to win all these cooperations.

As for the person in charge of the studio, he immediately thought of Li Juan, who is the assistant of Wu Xiangling, the female owner of a clothing brand in Hong Kong, and is only one of the assistants. Logically speaking, being the person in charge of the studio here at Chen Xing is much more interesting than being an assistant. , and her income is more than what she has now.

But if people don't come, there is nothing Chen Xing can do.

It is true that her daughter is still studying in Hong Kong Island. How could she, a single mother, come to Chengdu to work?

So Chen Xing could only rely on the fashion magazines he knew in China and headhunters to find the right people.

The recruitment of photographers went smoothly, so the person in charge had to conduct interviews.After all, he is not only responsible for the newly signed photographers, but also sometimes has to hand over the work to the French Perenna Gallery for himself, so that he does not have to fly there in person every time to sign, and can hand over a lot of troublesome things. Give this person something else to do yourself.

Anyway, all the photos I take now have to be sent to galleries, so I have to reduce the number of photos I take, so I can do other things I like.

Hu Sibin was wearing a suit and his hair was carefully styled. He walked into this old teahouse in Chengdu with a slight nervousness.

The teahouse was not big, with dozens of tables outside and far fewer inside. He immediately spotted Chen Xing, who was drinking tea and looking at his mobile phone.

Before coming here, he had a good understanding of Chen Xing's information. When he read it, he felt that it was a pity that this person did not enter the entertainment industry. Now that he saw the real person, this feeling of pity was even stronger. Such a person can make money based on his appearance alone. Big money, but people have to rely on talent.

If he had looked like this, he would have been a little bit of meat making money.

Thinking of the unlucky things he had done in the entertainment industry, Hu Sibin sighed and walked up to Chen Xing.

"Hello, Mr. Chen? My name is Hu Sibin."

Chen Xing put his phone on the table, stood up and shook hands with him, smiling and saying: "Hello, hello, I'm Chen Xing, please sit down."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, please wait."

"Not long ago."

In fact, Chen Xing has been sitting here all morning. He has interviewed two people before, but neither of them was very satisfied.

I can’t say there’s anything wrong with it, but it just doesn’t feel right.

Chen Xing trusted his sixth sense, which helped him a lot during his travels.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Hu Sibin. I am 35 years old. I used to work as an agent in an entertainment company..."

Hu Sibin has been an agent for nine years and has managed many stars. Only Chen Xing has heard of four of them, many of them top-tier.But they are all so-called traffic stars nowadays. Chen Xing has no feeling about this and has no idea why such so-called traffic stars are popular.

In terms of appearance, Chen Xing himself is not inferior to them. In terms of talent... well, Chen Xing doesn't even bother to compare.

It’s really easy to do things with capital.

"Then you are doing well, why do you want to leave the entertainment company?"

"Personal reasons, working in the entertainment industry is too busy. I often have to follow them everywhere, and the things I deal with are also very troublesome. Sometimes when I encounter some negative news, I am so angry that I almost have a heart attack. To be honest with you, I Now I have a headache when I see them all, and I really can’t continue working.”

"So you resigned voluntarily?"

"Yes."

Chen Xing suddenly became a little curious about the personal lives of those celebrities and asked, "I would like to know what happened that made you decide to resign? Can you tell me about it?"

"I can't say this, I hope you understand."

"Understand."

Agents know too much inside information about celebrities, and in this industry, even celebrities who are not under their control can still know the inside information of some circles through many channels, so they will most likely have to sign a confidentiality agreement when leaving.

"Alas." Chen Xing felt a little regretful, and then said, "That's all I'm asking, you've been working in the entertainment industry for so long, I believe my workload can't trouble you, but let me tell you first, in my place , your income is definitely not as high as before, Brother Hu, you have to think clearly about this."

How much money do other celebrities make? How can he, a small-time guy like him, compare with the celebrities?

At most, give him more when giving out bonuses.
