"This young man is quite popular recently." In a teahouse in Yanjing, seven or eight middle-aged men were having a small meeting.
Of course, there is no need to be particular about where to hold a small gathering. Drinking tea and chatting in a tea house is what cultural people should do.
There is a tablet on the table, which displays Chen Xing's photo.
"Indeed, he was the one who disclosed what happened to Xiaozhang before, and the quality of his creations is also very good, so he became popular in the circle for a while. Didn't Huawei hold a mobile phone photography event during this time? He also took it Number one, he is quite famous on the Internet." Chen Xing had more than 300,000 Bilibili fans before. Since the revelation that his works were plagiarized, the number has increased by 70,000 to 80,000, and the total has reached 420,000... However, Most of them were attracted by the French travel video released by Chen Xinggang.
"Well, I have talent. What do you think?"
"Too young?"
"You also need to give young people some opportunities." They are all board members of the Chinese Photography Association and are currently reviewing several emerging domestic photographers to see if they should be invited to join the association.
As for being too young? The youngest person in the association is only 16 years old and is the only daughter of one of the directors here. If she can join, it would be too much to refuse others to join because she is too young.
"What should we do about the matter between him and Zhang Richao?"
"Xiao Zhang now has no job and can't pay off his mortgage. Isn't that enough? Just invite him like this. We won't force him to join if he doesn't want to join." The leader felt that there should still be some humanity in the association. For such a trivial matter, the old brothers who had been together in the association for ten years were thrown away like garbage.
Then this society is too indifferent. The Chinese Photography Association is not the only organization that has noticed Chen Xing. There are also some people who have discovered Chen Xing's advantages.
Cui Jingxian, the content director of Bee Nest, inadvertently discovered the travel notes written by Chen Xing on station b.
I was shocked for a moment! It seems that such a good travel writer is also a somewhat famous photographer, but no one has noticed it before?
So I quickly got Chen Xing’s contact information through friends at station B and wanted to call him. So many people want to find Chen Xing, but what is Chen Xing doing now?
He is playing games. Feeling a little thirsty, I left the room and opened the refrigerator.
"Mom! Finished the orange juice!"
"What does it have to do with me after drinking? How old are you? When you stay at home, you only know how to play games and don't know how to help with housework. Your mother is exhausted." Chen Xing winced and took a Bottle King Laoji returns to the room.
When I first came back, you didn't let me do anything I wanted to do. Now that I don't want to do it, I start saying I'm lazy again. Alas, it's difficult at home too.
Chen Xing switched the page on the computer, from the main game interface to WeChat. He hasn't been playing games all the time. In the past few days, he found a programmer who used to learn mountain climbing together and asked them about building a photography website.
Because the functions Chen Xing wants are very simple, they are cheap. From the website to the design, a total of 6,000 yuan in Huaxia coins can be solved.
Now that others have been working on the website for three days, Chen Xing is ready to accept it.
“Is the website ready?”
"Okay, log in and take a look." Switching to the browser, Chen Xing clicked on a website in his favorites. Almost instantly, a simple gray page appeared.
At the top of the center of the web page is g in English. Below is a row of small English words. Translated into Chinese it means: travel, beauty, surreality, connection.
Each of these English words is clickable, but now they are all empty. There is only the English word "Contact". After clicking it, you can see Chen Xing's email address, but there is only the email address.
Later, Chen Xing planned to get an international phone number and put it up. But not yet. Hue Chen Xing was very satisfied and sent the balance payment to this person via WeChat.
"Happy brother! I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Chen Xing sent a no problem emoticon. Finally I have my own photography website.
Chen Xing first uploaded a few simple photos. In the travel part, he planned to post landscape works and architectural works.
The beauty category is for portraits, and the surreal category is for color series that I haven’t started shooting yet. They are not directly classified into landscapes, buildings, and portraits because Chen Xing does not necessarily have to place them according to this classification.
With photos, the page becomes more comfortable to read. Chen Xing simply put all the preserved fine products on it.
In the future, the server will not have enough space, but at least it is enough now, and he doesn't have many high-quality photos.
"Turn off the lights in the corridor, put your schoolbag away..." Chen Xing picked up the phone, and it was an unmarked call.
"Hello." Chen Xing picked it up and said.
"Hello, Mr. Chen Xing, we are from the Chinese Photography Association. Have you heard of us?"
"I've heard of it, what's the matter with me?" He had seen the association that Zhang belonged to when he searched for this person's information before.
"As long as you have heard of it, we are the largest unofficial photography association in China. We have organized multiple photography exhibitions, photography competitions, photographer training, etc. We have studied your resume and think you are very good. We The talents we need, there is a quota for you in the last recruitment of members this year, can you come to Yanjing to go through the formalities before the year?" Chen Xing thought to himself, and he didn't even say that he wanted to join.
However, I still subconsciously asked: "What procedure?"
"There are procedures for joining the membership, signing, paying the membership fee, etc. But don't worry, the membership fee is not expensive." I don't care whether it's expensive or not.
I don’t even know you, okay! It was a good thing that he didn't call. When he called, Chen Xing remembered Zhang Richao and asked, "Then you checked my resume. Did you know that I won the first prize at the Winter Photography Festival?"
"I know, it's precisely because you are abroad..."
"Wait a minute! I don't want to interrupt you, I haven't finished speaking yet. Now that you know that I won the award, do you know why I won the award? Then I would like to ask Mr. Zhang, who stole my work to participate in the competition, now Are you still in your association?"
"This...I'm not very clear about this."
"Well, let's talk about this later. After all, I don't have time now. I'm celebrating the New Year at home and don't want to go out." Chen Xing has traveled to more places this year than in the previous twenty years combined. When I'm tired, I just want to play games at home. After the New Year, my spirits are restored, and my parents see that they're bored, and then they look for opportunities to go out for a walk.
And I can't walk for too long, after all, I still have to study.
"But Mr. Chen Xing, the time for our recruitment is uncertain. If you have a chance this time, you may not be able to join our association next time. Mr. Chen Xing, why don't you think about it more and give me a call after you think about it clearly?" "
"Okay." Chen Xing hung up the phone. Just as I hung up, someone called again. Why are there so many things going on today?
"Hello?"
"Hello, is this Mr. Chen?" She is a woman with a nice voice! Chen Xing suddenly became less impatient than before, and said softly: "Call me Chen Xing, who are you?"
"I am Cui Jingxian, the content director of Bee Nest. I must be older than you. You can call me Sister Cui or Manager Cui."
"Oh, hello, hello, I often use your software." Chen Xing said quickly. He didn't lie. Whether at home or abroad, the experience of using Bee Nest is pretty good, especially when looking for restaurants abroad... However, there are also some who have a bad experience, very few.
"Haha, that means our products are pretty good. Mr. Chen Xing, I'm calling you this time because I saw the French travel diary you updated in the news on station b. It's very well written. We hope to transfer this travelogue to our honeycomb. And I also want to invite you to open a travel column on our website and become our contracted traveler." When she searched for Chen Xing's information on the Internet, she also saw Chen Xing's Award-winning message at the French Photography Festival.
He is a professional photographer and writes good travel notes. Why don’t you sign the contract earlier and wait for others to discover him?
The competition among travel websites is so fierce nowadays. Ctrip, Tongcheng, Fliggy and Tuniu are either the first or second brother in the industry, or they are desperately trying to catch up in the new era. If they sign up with Traveler, they will either not be short of money or not. If not, just throw money away as hard as you can.
If they found out about Chen Xing's high-quality stock, they probably wouldn't be able to get a signing fee of several million.
"Sign a contract with a traveler?" Chen Xing understands the opening of a column, but does a traveler also want to sign a contract?
"Yes, after you sign with us, your travel notes, photography works, etc. on our website will benefit to a certain extent as long as people click on them. We will give you priority when we have ads, and even travel for free." Sounds good.
But Chen Xing is going to college. So he said: "I'll think about it." Cui Jingxian sounded a little anxious and said: "Among the major travel websites, our treatment may not be the best, but it is definitely the most lenient. There are also many channels abroad. If there are other The website contacts you and asks you to fully consider the advantages of our honeycomb.”
“No other sites are calling me right now.”
"In that case, we will send people to Sichuan Province to meet with you and discuss it in detail. This must be a mutually beneficial thing. We can win-win. Before that, I hope you will never agree to invitations from other websites." It sounds very interesting. Sincerity.
Chen Xing nodded and said: "Then let's meet and talk. The New Year is almost here, why don't you come back after the New Year?" How dare Cui Jingxian dare to go to Chen Xing after the New Year? She wished she was from Sichuan Province.
Originally, she only saw a travelogue published by Chen Xing on station b. The writing style of this travelogue alone made her determined to invite Chen Xing to the website to be a travel columnist.
Then she also found out that Chen Xing is a very powerful photographer. I saw Chen Xing’s photo by the way.
Cui Jingxian hung up the phone and looked at the computer. On the screen was Chen Xing who was secretly photographed at the photography festival.
So handsome! He is handsome, a photographer, loves to travel, and has good writing skills. Is there anyone better suited to be a professional traveler than this person?
She stood up and shouted to her assistant: "Xiaofang, go and ask who in the department is from Sichuan Province, preferably from Tiancheng, Sichuan Province. Come with me on a business trip and take a vacation directly after you are done." She was going to go. Go to the boss and apply for a high signing fee.
Chen Xing is like a honeycomb to them. Must win! .........Chen Xing continues to beautify his website.
Take photos and send them to Moments.
"My personal photography website has been established. Welcome to enjoy and cooperate..." Two minutes later, another call came.
I looked at the caller ID and saw, oh, it was Zhou Peng calling.
"Zhou Peng?"
"It's me, are you okay? If you have nothing to do, go downstairs, go out to play, and bring your camera!" Chen Xing opened the window and looked outside. Zhou Peng and several familiar friends were waving to the room where Chen Xing was.
He went downstairs with his camera and said hello: "Is everyone on holiday?"
"It's a holiday, it's a holiday. I haven't seen you for a long time. Why is Brother Xing getting more and more handsome? He doesn't give us a way to survive."
"Hello, Brother Xing."
"Brother Zhou said that you are now a professional photographer. Is it true? Is the person found on the Internet you?" The person who questioned was named He Huachuan, who was Chen Xing's former younger brother.
But I only questioned it because I was the younger brother. It was too familiar. No matter what, his little head couldn't believe that the person talking in a foreign language among a group of foreigners was his former eldest brother.
The eldest brother who has no knowledge or skills and only got 14 points in the English test. He was also short, less than 1.7 meters tall. Chen Xing stepped forward and put his arms around his neck and said, "Everyone will move on. What happened in the past has long since passed. In my opinion, you are not doing well now." Not bad." He Huachuan studied well in high school. Now he majors in power engineering and dreams of building airplanes.
Chen Xing looked at Zhou Peng and said, "What do you want to do when you call us out?"
"I'm not the one who called him. You ask He Min." Chen Xing looked at the only girl. She adjusted her glasses and said a little shyly: "I called them out. I thought the school was on holiday and we hadn't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a meal together or something." There were seven people here.
Except for Zhou Peng, who became acquainted with him after going to a higher vocational school, the others are all friends who have known each other for ten years. Logically speaking, He Min shouldn't be so shy. Not to mention that she has a boyfriend, and she and Chen Xing are neighbors and old classmates... But Chen Xing is too handsome now, and the way he dresses is completely different from those of the students like them.
In comparison, Chen Xing now looks like an aristocratic prince, but he is still a country boy. Chen Xing nodded when he heard this and said: "Okay, but you are all still in school. I'm going to treat you. As before, let's figure out where to eat." Zhou Peng said: "Wait a while before eating. I have something to ask you. Help." Even if He Min didn't organize this trip today, he would still be looking for Chen Xing.
"I knew it, otherwise why would you want me to bring a camera? What do you want to do? Let's first say that the camera is like a wife, I won't lend it out."
"I don't want to borrow it, I just need to guide me to take a photo, okay?"
