Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 127 The winner of the best album is...! (Additional updates with monthly pass)
Mr. Li Yuanming and Mr. Ericsson took to the stage together.

In their hands were two folded cards containing a list of nominees and winners.

Standing in front of the standing microphone on the left side of the stage, Mr. Erickson spoke first: "You must be looking forward to this award."

The audience in the audience kept nodding.

"Me too, but before announcing the nomination, I would like to say a few words." Mr. Erickson turned back to Mr. Li Yuanming and asked, "Li, do you mind if I say a few more words."

"Of course, you tell me." Mr. Li Yuanming took a step back with a smile to make room for Mr. Erikson.

After nodding his thanks, Mr. Ericson walked to the microphone and said: "As everyone knows, I am a photo critic. I grew up looking at my father's photos. His photos always have countless impressions on me. Qing's interpretation, they all seem to be right, but they all seem to be wrong.

"So when I was 18 years old, I asked him, what on earth are you filming? Why don't you give people a correct explanation? Do you want to know what he said?"

Many photographers immediately shouted: "Yes!"

Mr. Ericson said with a smile: "He said that art has no explanation. I am not taking pictures, I am making art!"

After saying this, he changed the subject and said: "Some people always say that photography is the art of light and shadow, and the art of composition. I want to say, fart. Movies can also shoot light and shadow, and they can also have composition, so why do movies and Is photography separate? Rather than the same art? In the final analysis, art is expressive. Even if he just puts a urinal in the art gallery, it is not because the urinal is very beautiful or very valuable, but because of his appreciation of tradition. It was the irony of art that allowed the urinal to be placed there.”

Everyone knew that he was talking about Duchamp's work.

Mr. Ericson went on to say: "With only light, shadow and composition, without expression, it will eventually become a delicate gadget. This is what I have always believed, because ignorant works will always be eliminated by the tide of the times! Of course, if You incorporate your personal style into it and take photos that are different from other people’s exquisite things. That is also an art! Because it is your own unique way of expression!”

He paused for a moment, looked at the photographers in the audience and said slowly: "What I want to say is that photography is just a technology, and the photographer's brain is the source of art. Therefore, every photographer's photo album is The concentration of his life, the essence of his thoughts! Every time you read a book, you feel like you have experienced a kind of life. Whether it is real or magical, this is the novel experience that the album can bring us! So next, let Let’s see what unique artistic expressions are recognized by everyone this year!”

Mr. Li Yuanming stepped forward at the right time, turned over the card in his hand, bent down and spoke into the microphone: "The nominees for the best picture series of the year are..."

"Neon, Takuya Nakamura, "Confusion""

The director immediately showed the third row of shots. A middle-aged man with hair parted in the middle put his hands on his knees and nodded to the surroundings and the camera.At the same time, selected pictures of the work also appeared on the big screen for the photographers present to view.

“Finland, Tom Hans, Star of Africa”

In the fifth row, a stocky man took off his cap and thanked the camera with a smile.

"France, Hidan Albert, "Late Night Gaze""

In the fourth row, a blond woman in a blue evening gown covered her mouth and seemed surprised to be nominated.

"America, Huey Bruckner, "The Girls""

In the third row, an old man with long hair nodded to express his gratitude.

There is still one name that has not been announced, and all photographers are eagerly waiting for the final nominee to appear.

On the stage, Li Yuanming waited for a moment and continued to look below the card.But when he saw the name, he suddenly couldn't help but smile. With a smile, he raised his voice and said: "Huaxia, Chen Pingsheng, "Crow"!"

The director's camera had already been prepared, and before he could finish speaking, it cut to Chen Pingsheng's face.

"Wow!" For a moment, everyone around him focused their attention on him.

Those who were far away also saw Chen Pingsheng’s appearance on the big screen.

I saw that this nominee was unexpectedly young and had no stage fright at all. He looked at the camera calmly and smiled, seeming confident about winning the award.

"It's a young man!"

"Yeah! That's surprising!"

“Is his work photographing animals?”

“Why don’t I see this work listed?”

Unsurprisingly, the audience in the audience were discussing this dark horse, because in their impression, there was no such figure in the photography world. He was a true newcomer.

However, such a newcomer has actually been nominated for the best picture series with his own work?

It's just unbelievable.

"Hey! Chen! It's you! It's you!" Hawke was even more excited than Chen Pingsheng beside him, patting his shoulder and speaking incoherently.

"Man, calm down, it's just a nomination." Chen Pingsheng had to calm him down.

"Nomination? Are you kidding! This is a nomination for best photo album! This is the best recognition for you from the photography industry!" Hawke doesn't quite understand why Chen Pingsheng looks so calm. If it were him, he would probably be on the spot now He was sent to the hospital due to excitement shock. "Okay, haven't you won the award yet? That's not the case." Chen Pingsheng felt that there was no need to be so excited.

"Winning the prize, oh, my God! God! I heard something!" Hawke's eyes widened and he completely lost his language function.

At the same time, friends, teachers, and relatives who watched the competition from various places also saw Chen Pingsheng's face.

"Sister Feilin! Chen Pingsheng is out!" In the office of Feilin Magazine, Yu Xiang was holding a wine bottle in his hand and was very excited. This is his friend and future colleague!

"Yes, I saw it." Feilin remained calm as always, but her hands were also trembling slightly.

When she learned that Chen Pingsheng had been nominated, she thought it was just a joke. She really believed it when Chen Pingsheng sent her a photo of the invitation letter.

Then, with some kind of expectation, we waited for the most nervous awards ceremony!
"Can he win the award?" Feilin couldn't help but light a cigarette to relieve her nervousness.

"I don't know, but his opponents are all well-known photographers. For example, Nakamura has been nominated for three consecutive years. There is also Hidan, who is hailed as the number one female photographer in the industry. As for Huey Bruckner Even better, he was the winner of the Best Picture Series award in 15."

Yu Xiang spoke to the photographer who appeared on the screen, making Feilin inexplicably irritable.

"Okay, stop talking." She stopped Yu Xian's demoralizing behavior and took a puff of cigarette.

Yu Xiang looked at her aggrievedly, and then said: "But I think Chen Pingsheng's chances are quite good. Didn't you see that Mr. Chairman said that we should encourage newcomers and encourage innovation?"

"I hope so." Surrounded by smoke, Feilin narrowed her eyes and looked at Mr. Chairman on the stage.

At this moment, Mr. Ericson once again approached the microphone and said: "This award is the most exciting award for me tonight. Why? Because I see new possibilities in the photography industry and the future trend from this work. I also see the rising hope in the photography world.”

These few words are so strong and weighty that people can't help but secrete more saliva, eager to know who the winner is.

And Mr. Ericson didn’t show off too much. He turned over his card, said “Wow” first, and then handed it to Mr. Li Yuanming.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Li Yuanming also said "Wow", and then they looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

The audience looked confused, wondering why they didn't speak up immediately.

The director put several nominees on the screen at the same time, waiting for the final answer to be announced.

At this much-anticipated moment, Mr. Li Yuanming picked up the card and said in a serious tone: "His works are not only an observation of animals, but also a concern for human society. By switching between different perspectives, they open up a new world for all viewers." A door to adventure that allows them to travel through different time and space. At the same time, each photo contains the creator's unique ingenuity and full emotion. Even the cover is an integral part of this work. This work , will definitely leave his name in the history of photography. This photographer will also definitely form an inseparable and intimate relationship with the animals in his photos, just like the connotation shown in the photos!"

Mr. Ericson then said: "Yes, the winner of the Best Picture Series of the Year, he is..."

When he said this, all the lights except the stage went out, and then suddenly turned on again as Mr. Erickson said his words!

"He is the photographer from China, Chen Pingsheng, and his work "Crow"!"

"Bang!" The huge award music suddenly sounded, and then the spotlight was directly on Chen Pingsheng in the second row. Everyone held their breath and watched him slowly stand up, and then the whole audience burst into applause!
Accompanied by warm applause, Chen Pingsheng pursed his lips, and his heart suddenly stopped beating violently, as if he was satisfied after getting the answer.

He first nodded to the surroundings, then walked through the audience with a somewhat reserved smile, and followed the guidance of the staff to the stage.

This was the first time for Chen Pingsheng to stand on such a solemn and grand stage. Looking around, the eyes of the audience were like small lenses, constantly pressing the shutter at him.

But he went beyond everyone's imagination, with a calmness and calmness far beyond that of a young man.

This calmness surprised himself. Although he had debated with others in the small auditorium and had no stage fright at all, in this environment, he was not panicked when he participated for the first time.

It shows that his talent is not limited to photography, but may also have the ability to deal with big scenes.

And he no longer worried about his next acceptance speech, because Chen Pingsheng suddenly thought of the theme. At the moment when the spotlight was on, he knew what he should say.

"Chen! Congratulations on winning this award!" Mr. Ericson was the first to come to him and cheer for him.

Mr. Li Yuanming also came over, patted his arm, and said with a smile: "It's really great, Chen Pingsheng, you have brought glory to China!"

"Thank you Mr. Chairman and Mr. Yuan Ming." Chen Pingsheng nodded repeatedly, and then took the golden trophy symbolizing honor from Mr. Ericsson.

But the awards are just a small part, the real highlight comes later.

I saw Mr. Ericson picking up the microphone, standing in front of the stage and inviting: "Come on, Chen, tell me what's on your mind."
