Chen Xing followed them, thinking that this garden hotel would really make a movie.
Then I was thinking about the topic of my lecture this time.
This is not his first time giving lectures. When he was in France, he gave lectures in some universities and knew how to give lectures. But the difference is that now he is not facing a group of students, but he has been out of society, worked, and joined the Photography Association.
a group of people.
The younger ones are those born in 2000, and the older ones are those born in the 1980s. When facing these people, he doesn’t know whether it is better to speak more deeply or more simply. Will they listen carefully?
When Editor-in-Chief Liu invited him to come, he said something, which probably meant that as long as a figure like Chen Xing was in China, there would be a lot of invitations to conferences like this.
Chen Xing thought about it and thought it was right. Besides, he had been staying at home for too long, so he also wanted to come out and meet his colleagues.
As the biggest leader of this meeting, Liu Hui personally took Chen Xing to the hotel lobby to check in. This kind of treatment was more suitable for Chen Xing himself, and he felt very comfortable.
"Thank you, Chief Editor Liu."
"You don't need to thank me. You are doing me a favor by coming. When we promoted it some time ago, your course was the most popular. Many students spontaneously bought your book."
"My book? Travels in France?"
"Yes, students buy it as a photo album, but this work is not in line with your recent style. There is also a photo album of master works published by the World Commercial Photography Society in 2022 and 2023."
This publishing house publishes an annual photography album every year, which should be the most professional photography album in the world.
If a photographer always works hard and specializes in his own skills, but as long as he buys an annual photography book of master works every year, he can see the development of the photography circle throughout the year through this book, as well as some major events worth recording.
.
Starting from 2022, Chen Xing's works have been on the list, and he is also included this year. However, this book will not be released until March of the following year, and few people can get it in advance.
If you want to look at his style and skills, it is most appropriate and mature to look at a few works from 24 years ago.
But there is really nothing we can do if we don’t publish it.
When Liu Hui talked about this topic, he suddenly asked: "In fact, it's time for you to publish a few photography books. There are many photographers in China who are obsessed with your style, but there are few ways to view it."
In fact, Chen Xing is not a conventional photographer, but an artist.
His good works will not be leaked out. They are first selected by a gallery, and the original pictures are sent to modern museums in various places where they spend money, and then the museums print high-definition promotional pages.
Not to mention how much time it takes to complete such a process, how many people can see the brochures of major museums?
So there are very few ways.
As the editor-in-chief of Huaxia Photography Network, Liu Hui has actually been coveting Chen Xing's works for a long time. They have publishing qualifications, so they were able to invite Chen Xing this time. They also held a private meeting to discuss what kind of treatment they would give to invite him to publish a photography project.
set.
"Yes." Chen Xing nodded.
He has long planned to publish a photo album, but isn’t this laziness?
When Liu Hui saw that there was an opportunity, he immediately said: "Then let's talk in detail tomorrow after your lecture? It's already late, so let's go get something to eat first. The Chinese food in this hotel is also..."
So a group of people went to the Chinese restaurant in a hurry.
The dining area of this hotel is divided into Chinese food area and Western food area. Western food is actually a buffet. According to the standards of outside restaurants, a meal should cost more than 69.
The Chinese food is better, it's also open to the public, but it's chargeable and expensive.
This kind of Chinese-style business hotel is mostly used for meetings and banquets. Chen Xing didn't know the exact number of dishes on a table, but judging from the food, it was no worse than those century-old restaurants outside.
It was already dark when we entered the restaurant. After eating and drinking, we could already see the moon when we walked out of the restaurant.
There are lanterns hanging all over the roadside of the hotel, but they are not candles but modern lamps, lighting up the entire road. There are also colored lanterns in the flowerbed next to it, on the rockery and in the small pond, which look very beautiful.
The moonlight is also very bright. It hangs in the sky like a more precious decoration.
Chen Xing heard too much flattery today. He bid farewell to Liu Hui and the others and went back to the room to rest early. But not long after, he walked out again wearing sportswear and wanted to go for a run in the garden and see more.
To be honest, he has stayed in many hotels, but none like this one.
If you fly a drone into the sky, the hotel will look like an ancient garden, and the building will look no different from the ancient buildings from the outside.
Generally speaking, there are only two floors, and the highest one seems to be only three floors. The students of the Photography Association all live separately.
Some live in Huaxia Building and some live in Phoenix Pavilion.
Chen Xing's room was a duplex with a large area, and was also located in the Huaxia Building. The Huaxia Building is the main building of the hotel, and the check-in hall is also here.
There is a tea bar in the hall, and some young people gather around here to play board games. I don’t know if they are from the Photography Association.
He didn't join in the fun and sprinted outside for two laps. On the way, he met a female teacher who was also running. Her surname was Zhou. If I remember correctly, her name was Zhou Fang.
This teacher's running movements are much more standard than his, just a little slower. He should be practicing long-distance running, and his legs are very long. He runs like an athlete, very standard.
Chen Xing said hello and said, "Teacher Zhou?"
She slowed down and waited for Chen Xing, and said with a smile: "Don't call me teacher. I am the editor of Huaxia Photography Network. I was hired as a coolie by Chief Editor Liu to serve the public. You are the teacher."
This study class invited eight lecturers. Except for two consecutive classes in the afternoon on the first day, the other teachers came at staggered times. Chen Xing arrived tonight to teach tomorrow morning's class.
From nine-thirty to eleven-thirty, two hours.
So compared to those of them who are called teachers by students, Chen Xing and others who come to give lectures are the real teachers.
The two of them ran together under the street lights, and Chen Xing's own pace was guided by the rhythm.
"I'm not used to being called teacher. Just call me by my name. I see that you run very professionally. Have you been practicing running?" Chen Xing gasped.
"I just like long-distance running, and I'm an enthusiast. If you feel tired, you can go slower."
"fine."
Chen Xing adjusted his breathing, and soon he was out of breath.
Before meeting Teacher Zhou, he had run for two laps. Sprinting was much more tiring than long-distance running. If he had been allowed to run slowly like this, he might not have felt tired even after running twenty kilometers.
He is a person with magical skills, and he is not afraid of endurance compared to long-distance running.
Zhou Fang ran two more laps. Seeing that Chen Xing could keep up with the pace, she asked curiously: "Have you ever run a marathon? I think you are really good at long-distance running. Are you participating in this year's Jiangcheng Marathon?"
