Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 182: Four different signs for film festivals

By correcting the dictation of the text, Chen Pingsheng learned that on the first day of sales of "The Crow", those who contributed the most were a group of old men over fifty years old.

Some of them come from photography associations in major cities, while others come from small groups who love photography.

But no matter where they come from, they have shown amazing purchasing power.

Everyone basically has two copies, which contributed to at least half of the sales on the first day.

But Gai Tuowen feels that the reason why they did not expect this situation is actually because they ignored the most silent part of the group that loves photography.

Senior photography enthusiasts.

They may not have the energy to surf the Internet and express their opinions, but in reality they can use real money to support their favorite photographers.

Because they are all retired and have no burden of life, even their children may be in their 50s or [-]s.

This group of elderly people are at a time when they don’t have much money and are willing to pay for their hobbies.

Especially the elderly in big cities are generally more lonely, so it is normal to join a photography group in private.And when authorities in the photography industry said "The Crow" was China's best work in the past decade, everyone was curious about the level of this work.

Coupled with the comments from several major critics, this curiosity has reached its peak.

Moreover, there is a general rule among these groups, that is, the price of good works will definitely increase in the future, and you can make money by collecting blood now!This has also been proven before.A few years after the publication of many photo albums, because fewer and fewer copies are circulated on the market, second-hand prices rise, even higher than the original price.

Therefore, these old men secretly believe that the price of this series will definitely increase in the future.

So driven by this atmosphere, everyone started to buy and buy. One book is not enough to read, two books are barely used, and three books are the best state for collection.

Only then did the number of sales copies of "The Crow" exceed [-].

But this is not the end, or even just the beginning, because the better the results, the more attractive it becomes.Those who were originally unwilling to buy will be easily tempted once they see that everyone is buying.

After all, if I buy what everyone else buys, I will definitely not lose money.If I don’t buy what everyone else is buying, I will definitely lose money.

Older people, in particular, are the group most easily affected.

Therefore, in just three days, all the goods in the Huaxia Literary Society store and the factory's backlog were sold out, and a total of [-] copies were sold.

This is something no one has thought of before.

So much so that there are several popular videos on the short video platform, which are videos of Zheng Guotai and his team of old brothers going to bookstores to buy albums. When viewers see these people buying in such a disciplined and orderly manner, they are all curious in the comment area. Ask them what they are buying.

Not to mention that many people will actually buy it because of these videos, because the factory can no longer produce it and is working overtime every day.

Chen Pingsheng also received news from Abner. The sales of "Crow" in other parts of the world are also very fast. Although it cannot keep up with the domestic sales, the stockpile is almost at the bottom.

So Abner excitedly expressed that he would print an additional [-] copies.

What is the concept of one hundred thousand copies? Chen Pingsheng thought he was a little crazy, but he couldn't persuade Abner at all.

It can only be said that capital completely disregards its own life and death in the face of interests.

He thought that if he couldn't sell it by then, he would use some promotional coupons to help Abner.

In addition, there is news from Shah that the sales share of the film festival totals 32 US dollars, about 200 million, and this income will be credited to his account in March.

This gave Chen Pingsheng, who had a depleted wallet, the confidence to spend money.

Also, Hauser & Wirth Gallery has decided to arrange a global exhibition due to the popularity of "The Crow", starting from the UK and ending in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

A total of nine gallery tour exhibitions were arranged, and I also asked Chen Pingsheng about his arrangements and whether he could go to the exhibitions.

Chen Pingsheng hasn't decided yet because he probably won't have time to go abroad due to his upcoming arrangements.

The first thing he needs to do now is attend a book signing in South China.
-
"Thank you all photography enthusiasts for your love for "The Crow". See you next time."

The host put down the microphone, and the audience immediately applauded.

Chen Pingsheng responded to everyone's request for a photo with a smile on his face. Then after everyone left, he kicked his legs in front of the chair. He felt even more tired than if he had been taking photos all day.

"Teacher Chen, are you tired?" The female host came over and handed him a bottle of water.

The original bottle on the table has long been empty, and Chen Pingsheng's throat is indeed a little smokey now.

After taking a sip of water, Chen Pingsheng said, "Thank you."

"It's okay, but I want to ask Teacher Chen for a favor." The hostess said with a smile.

"What's the deal?" Chen Pingsheng was confused, and then he saw the female host taking five albums from another table: "Teacher Chen, please sign for me!"

"Okay, no problem." He looked at his tired hands and nodded in agreement.
-
Three days after the book signing, the film festival of "The Crow" started as scheduled in South China.

Chen Pingsheng thought for a long time and finally decided that instead of separating the two for two days, they would just go shopping together in one day!
Well, actually it was one morning and one afternoon!
Wei Seya can only show up in the afternoon because her schedule is tight. She has to stay with Professor Li for half a day tomorrow, and then she will leave South China for Changsha to participate in a variety show.

So Chen Pingsheng made an arrangement with her to meet at the back door of the film festival at two o'clock in the afternoon.As for Lin Zishan, he originally wanted to transfer it to the next day, but what was very embarrassing was that Lin Zishan had to go out for filming the next day.

Therefore, Chen Pingsheng had to choose a day to do it.

So early that morning, he waited at the entrance of the film festival.

Just as he was looking at the image circle on his phone, a burst of footsteps suddenly came, accompanied by a soft call: "Teacher Chen."

Chen Pingsheng looked up and found that Lin Zishan was wearing a particularly sweet outfit today.

The upper body is a plaid shirt with pink as the main color, with a one-shoulder design. The white and smooth shoulders reflect the brilliance under the sunlight.The lower body is a college-style blue denim skirt, light black stockings paired with strappy high heels, which looks very tall and charming.

Moreover, her hair today was also carefully designed. The waves at the end of a single ponytail were piled on the collarbone below her neck. She looked youthful and made people couldn't help but take a second look.

"Simu." Chen Pingsheng looked at her up and down and found that she was very different from usual.

Even the makeup is much more refined, with a lot of eyeliner, eyelashes, blush, and even dots of eyeshadow can be seen on the upper eyelids. Under the reflection of the sun, they seem to be naughty elves, singing and dancing on her eyes. With.

Lin Zishan felt embarrassed when Chen Pingsheng looked at him like this, and lowered his head slightly: "Teacher Chen, come in."

"Ahem, let's go in." Chen Pingsheng came to his senses and took her into the film festival.

Without the sunshine, the temperature between the two people finally returned to normal.

Lin Zishan walked beside Chen Pingsheng, listening to him tell her the stories of these photos.

But Chen Pingsheng felt a little uncomfortable at this time, because the smell around him was so good.

Lin Zishan exuded a faint scent of ebony perfume. Because the distance between the two was too close, they were always surrounded by Chen Pingsheng, which made him have wild thoughts.

And today's Lin Zishan is a little different from before, becoming more shy.

Not as energetic as before.

"Why don't you talk today?" Chen Pingsheng felt that he still needed to be concerned.

Lin Zishan looked up at him, then lowered his head and looked at the photo and said, "Don't you have to be quiet when watching the film festival?" And where Chen Pingsheng couldn't see, Lin Zishan's two hands were tangled together behind his back, seeming very nervous.

Chen Pingsheng nodded, without asking any further questions, and just took her around.

After finishing shopping, the two of them came to the sofa where they were resting. Lin Zishan, who had been a little absent-minded, suddenly said, "Do you think I have changed anything today?"

Chen Pingsheng looked at her face, and Lin Zishan subconsciously looked away.

"Well, I think you're dressed up nicely today."

"Then didn't I dress up beautifully before?" Lin Zishan's mouth curled up, as if he was not satisfied with the answer.

"No, it's not." Chen Pingsheng was obviously unable to cope with Lin Zishan in this state, so he could only say: "Before, it was more daily, but today you are more suitable for taking photos and being a model."

Speaking of taking pictures, Lin Zishan suddenly became energetic. She spoke in a very serious tone: "Teacher Chen, can you take two pictures for me?"

"Okay." Chen Pingsheng agreed immediately. This was the first time Lin Zishan begged him in such a tone.

The two left the first floor of the film festival and came to the rooftop on the third floor.

This place usually stores some large-scale installations and graffiti art. Because of "Crow", there are now more exhibits on the third floor.

Some works are obscured by white cloth, while others are left exposed.

When Lin Zishan walked through it, he felt as if he was walking in the jungle of art, feeling the most original creative baptism from the artist.

Chen Pingsheng picked up his camera and put it in front of his eyes.

"Crack!" Before Lin Zishan could react, a photo was successfully taken.

"What did you take?" She ran over curiously, wanting to see her photo.

Chen Pingsheng clicked on the playback, and then the two of them saw such a beautiful photo.

A beam of sunlight shot straight through the glass, hitting Lin Zishan's face as he turned back to look at the statue.The two could see the air full of moving dust, which together with the curious girl and the silent statue formed a beautiful photo.

"Teacher Chen..." After seeing the photo, Lin Zishan hesitated. She raised her face, her eyes shining in the sun, as if everything was covered with a filter.Even the tiny fuzz on the tip of the nose looks particularly cute at this moment.

"What's wrong?" Chen Pingsheng was only ten centimeters away from her. He realized that he seemed too close, so he took a step back.

Lin Zishan did not continue speaking, but turned his head and walked towards the group of silent statues.

"Take a few more pictures for me!" she shouted with a smile.
