The cover design is not expensive, really not expensive.
Chen Xing wants to find his own alumni. Although there is a shortage of many art majors in their school, there is definitely no shortage of designers. Graphic design is also the top major in Paris high fashion, and there are countless outstanding seniors and sisters.<
/p>
But at this price in China, the layout and cover of the entire book are enough.
Chen Xing will do the typesetting himself.
His knowledge of art was enough for him to finish the contents of the inner pages neatly and beautifully, and Chen Xing even confiscated their fees.
Since Chen Xing's time was tight, the cooperation was very quick.
Todelin hired a senior sister to do the cover. The main reason is that she has an alumni relationship and can easily communicate any issues. If they randomly find a designer to make the cover of this book, it will be purely a matter of course.
It’s a business relationship.
It may not satisfy Chen Xing.
Before Chen Xing left for Paris, Chen Xing completed the typesetting of the travel notes on the computer, and a large number of photos were converted into a format more suitable for printing.
When we set off, it was Wang Juncai from the publishing house who drove Chen Xing to the airport.
"Teacher Chen Xing, don't worry, after the physical book is finished, I will definitely send one to you first."
"Don't be in a hurry. I've been waiting for this book for a long time. I'd rather take it slow than to let it sit at the bottom of the box. Alas, after all, this is my first time publishing a physical book, so I'm still a little nervous."
Wang Juncai shook his head and said:
"Teacher Chen Xing, don't worry. The quality of your book is recognized by all our editors. I haven't seen such a good and comprehensive travelogue in a long time. Every photo in it is beautiful, and more importantly
The best thing is... you also have a preface written by Sophie Marceau. This preface alone can make many people buy your book."
Regardless of whether the quality is good or not, a French travel diary with a preface by Sophie Marceau will definitely be bought by many Sophie Marceau fans.
Regardless of whether these people have time to travel, they always feel in their hearts that they will go to France sooner or later.
So it’s definitely not a loss to buy a copy in advance.
And the quality is not good?
They are a publishing house that specializes in publishing various travel notes, as well as photography books, attraction introductions and other related works. If only one person thinks that the book written by Chen Xing is good, maybe he is wrong, but Chen Xing’s book is
All editors like it.
Stylish and beautiful street photography, vivid descriptions of scenery, heart-warming travel stories, and detailed introductions to Paris and its major districts.

Flight, transfer.
When this flight arrived over Paris, due to heavy rain at night, it had to hover over the airport for two hours. As a result, it was already one o'clock in the morning when it finally landed, and there were not many staff still working in the entire airport. Bad news: There is no car service to the city.
Good news: There is a hotel inside the airport.
Because the entire flight was stranded at the airport due to the delay, they can stay in the hotel for free for one night and leave tomorrow morning.
Waiting at the baggage area, next to me is a Frenchman I met on the plane who lives in Barong.
He sighed and said: "I could have seen my wife when the sun rose in the morning, but it's all this damn Air France's fault. I must report them."
Chen Xing looked at the people around him and said: "I'm sorry to tell you that most people may be very satisfied with their compensation. We have been flying in the sky for a long time and urgently need a warm bed for us to rest instead of 11
Click here to squeeze into the subway."
Paris is so chaotic at night, Chen Xing doesn’t dare to run around.
The Frenchman snorted and said: "They handled it well."
It was also very fast to go through the customs. I guess the people doing the inspection didn’t want to have to work for an hour in the middle of the night just to look through the backpacks of these tourists. And because it was raining heavily outside the terminal, the customs also gave everyone a handful.
Black umbrella.
I have to say, they compensated well.
He dug out a windbreaker in his suitcase, put it on, and walked out of the terminal with an umbrella. However, at the entrance of the terminal, Chen Xing saw an Asian woman arguing with the security guard.
She doesn't speak French, and the security guard's English is very poor.
Completely ineffective communication.
Chen Xing paused for a while holding an umbrella. Hearing that she had to catch the earliest flight this morning, she was afraid that she would be late, so she wanted to wait in the airport terminal in advance.
But when the terminal here says it’s off duty at night, it really means it’s off duty.
People inside can come out, but people from outside will never be let in.
"I just went inside to sit and hide from the rain for two hours. It's raining so hard outside. Do you really want me to be outside? Please, just let me in. Aren't there many staff inside?
?And why can they come out?"
The security guard spoke very blunt English and only had one phrase.
"I'm sorry."
In fact, Chen Xing doubted whether he understood everything.
Although he didn't know which country she was from, Chen Xing went up to help her translate in a humanitarian spirit, and said to the security guard: "This lady wants to enter the terminal to rest for two hours. She has a flight tomorrow morning.
She is your customer, can you let her in?"
Hearing Chen Xing's fluent French, the security guard sighed and said, "I'm sorry, but I can't let people in. This is the rule."
Chen Xing had no choice but to speak to her in English, and then asked: "Are you Chinese?"
"Yes, I am studying in the UK. I came to France for a trip and am about to go back. Oh my God, I'm about to cry."
She was indeed about to cry.
When I traveled to France alone, I had all had wonderful experiences before, but I never expected that I would encounter something like this when I was leaving. Just because I arrived two hours early, I had to be at the terminal.
Stand outside the building for two hours?
Normally, you can sit on the bench outside on a sunny day, but today it’s raining heavily, how can you sit there?
Now she can only carry a 28-inch suitcase and a bag on her back, standing at the entrance and exit of the terminal, unable to get in or out, and her heart is dark.
Chen Xing thought for a while, then turned back to the airport without leaving the terminal.
The security guard did not stop Chen Xing.
Most of the shops in the terminal were closed, but McDonald's was still open. Chen Xing went in to find them and asked for a few more flyers. He went out and said to the girl: "Use this as a simple cushion and sit here."
At least it won’t rain and there won’t be any wind, so the two hours will pass quickly.”
Then Chen Xing gave her the umbrella, took off his windbreaker, and said, "Put on the clothes and I'll give you the umbrella as well."
Chen Xing waited for a while and rubbed someone else's umbrella.
If there is no other option, just run over. Anyway, the airport hotel is just a hundred meters ahead.
"No need!"
How could she accept something from a stranger?
"Get dressed, it's a bit cold today because of the rain." Chen Xing said with a smile.
At this time, Chen Xing's friend on the plane also walked out with an umbrella. Chen Xing quickly said goodbye to the girl, and then quickly ran under his umbrella to prepare to go to the airport hotel opposite with him.
She watched Chen Xing walk far away.
Then he put down the umbrella in his hand and put on his clothes.
Although it is just a windbreaker, its thermal performance is worrying.
But she didn’t know if it was the smell left on the clothes that made her feel so warm on this rainy night.
