Chapter Sixty, Magnum

Wang Taika felt that Xu Fanfan looked at him a little strangely.

It should be because of Pani's matter! Does Xu Fanfan know now? Or is he still in a state of ignorance?

Xu Fanfan said: "Oppa, are you still a member of Magnum?"

Wang Taika was startled when he heard this.

Zhien-chan didn't understand at the side and looked at Wang Taika. She was thinking, what is Magnum? Why do you feel like there are things you don't know about yourself? This is not possible. You have to know everything about the terrorists.

.

Wang Taika burst into laughter: "Do you still know about Magnum? It seems that people say you like reading, which is not a lie. I used to, but I am no longer."

Xu Fanfan was not surprised. She seemed to already know and just came to confirm. The result was the same as she imagined.

Zhien-chan was unhappy: "Hey, terrorist."

Wang Taika smiled and said: "You don't know about Magnum? Have you never played the game? There is a gun called AWM, and the bullets it uses are Magnum rifle bullets. I am actually a retired soldier hiding in the city! No.

That’s right, I’m a born leading man, you understand!”

If Xu Fanfan hadn't been there, Zhienjiang would have rolled her eyes. This was too false. So Zhienjiang looked at Xu Fanfan.

Xu Fanfan looked at Wang Taika: "Can you tell me?"

Wang Taika smiled: "Whatever, it's not a shameful thing."

"Oh." Xu Fanfan said to Zhienjiang: "I'm talking about Magnum Photo Agency. It was founded in Paris, France in 1947. It is a world-renowned and influential photography agency. In New York,

There are branches in Paris, London and Tokyo.”

Zhien-chan blinked: "So, is it very powerful?"

"It's very powerful. It can be said that it is a place that photographers all over the world want to enter, but I don't know the details. This organization is very mysterious, and even the members..." Xu Fanfan thought for a while: "It's very strange.

Same."

Zhien-chan grabbed Wang Taika's arm: "You tell me... I won't let you go until you tell me."

Wang Taika smiled: "Magnum, it's not that serious, but it is indeed a place to prove the strength of a photographer. There has been a saying in the photography world: When you think of a classic photo, you can't remember the photo.

Author and source, it most likely comes from Magnum."

If Xu Fanfan hadn't suddenly mentioned it, Wang Taika might never have mentioned Magnum.

In the photography world, these three words Magnum not only represent a height, a style, and an honor of photography. They are also a height worthy of every photographer’s admiration.

From its establishment to today, Magnum Photo Agency is like the Holy Land Jerusalem in the hearts of Christians for a photographer. Since Magnum was established in 1947, almost no photographer has refused Magnum’s invitation. Mrs. Wang

Cards are no exception.

Of course, Magnum’s screening criteria for new members are also very strict.

But the amazing thing is that no one knows what the specific selection criteria are.

Photographers who want to join the club need to be recommended by a Magnum member, and all full members vote to decide whether to accept the newcomer.

After passing numerous reviews, newcomers must first become a probationary member for three years. During this period, they do not have any benefits or rights. They also need to undergo regular membership evaluations and submit photos taken within three years to prove that they are indeed qualified to become a Mag.

Southern members can make contributions to the organization.

After passing all these tests, the photographer can truly take the oath to join Magnum Photos.

To be honest, it's almost like joining a mysterious and demanding religious organization!

Magnum's photography works usually focus on a social phenomenon or issue, after the photographer conducts extensive investigations and then takes in-depth photos. The pictures provided by Magnum contain few social trivial matters and specialize in in-depth reporting.

Chinese photographers often use Magnum-style pictures as a criterion for whether they can become Magnum photographers.

But Wang Taika feels that this kind of imitation just makes the photographer farther and farther away from Magnum.

The most respectable thing about Magnum photographers is the height of their thinking, not the height of their photography. They are highly technical, but their height of thinking is unlimited.

Wang Taika successfully entered Magnum based on his past years. Later, he quit due to the torture of bipolar disorder.

But Magnum is really too mysterious. From its establishment in 1947 to the present, there are only 114 photographer members.

How difficult is it to become a Magnum photographer? In the entire China, from 1947 to the present, only two people have become members of Magnum Photo Society. One is the contemporary photographer Lu Nan, and the other is Wang Taika.

, and later quit.

Xu Fanfan also saw that after the relationship between Wang Taika and Pani was exposed, there were various stories about Wang Taika's past in the news. Among them, the Magnum incident was not at all, but Xu Fanfan had read about it in books before.

, so she was curious and found a member list published by Magnum a few years ago.

Among them, Xu Fanfan did find a photographer named "Albert". Xu Fanfan, who couldn't help but be curious, naturally wanted to find out whether it was true or false.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Xu Fanfan looked at Wang Taika with more curiosity and sigh, because Xu Fanfan never expected that Wang Taika was so powerful.

There are no Magnum photographers in the whole of Korea.

Zhi Enjiang seemed to understand. She didn’t know what Magnum photographer meant, but she was worth it. Wang Taika also had a very powerful past that she didn’t even know. Such an exploration was actually quite interesting.

Interesting.

Xu Fanfan was really stubborn and terrifying in some aspects. In her previous impression, Wang Taika could only be described as average or even average.

But in Xu Fanfan's character, he has an instinctive respect and learning mentality for people who are more knowledgeable than himself, so when Wang Taika's other side was revealed, Xu Fanfan began to give Wang Taika crazy points in his heart.

In fact, to be honest, strength is quite important. When Wang Taika had nothing before, Xu Fanfan was not even in the mood to talk to Wang Taika. Later, he slowly turned into Oppa. Now finally

With respect.

This really can't be said that Xu Fanfan is snobbish, because if Wang Taika is really a person with no knowledge and no ability, why should he ask an outstanding female idol to treat him differently? You can't say "Don't bully young people"

"Poor" right?

If you want to be qualified for equal dialogue, you have to show the same strength, otherwise it is better not to ask for trouble. Xu Fanfan is just willing to learn from people who are better than himself, which is his advantage.

Wang Taika didn't expect that Xu Fanfan would not look at him differently even if he became the president of an entertainment company. In the end, he was just a former member of Magnum. It seems that Xu Fanfan values ​​​​and others.

It's really different. It's actually...an opportunity to learn from excellent people? So, I am also an excellent person.

Wang Taika guessed Xu Fanfan very accurately, and in fact it was true. In Xu Fanfan's eyes, Wang Taika's image was similar to that of a beggar at first. Later, he became a nouveau riche. Now he has slowly transformed into a capable person.

Communication, even the existence of learning...

Of course, Xu Fanfan is not that interested in photography. She just feels that no matter what the job is, as long as they are able to reach the top of their industry, they are outstanding people. It is always necessary to know such people.
