The photo exhibition kicked off in March, when the spring flowers are blooming.
Although it was the first year, it was very grand.
After the photo exhibition, we really entered the stage of selection and evaluation.
"Enjoy it well. If you go to get the prize every time, you will never be able to shoot your own works."
After the two-week shooting, Xue Xue participated in the whole process from directing, selecting to editing.
This is also what Guo Wenxiang ordered.
Most of the time, she just watched quietly.
The tedious and boring detail work, after the initial impatience has passed, can gradually taste the fun.
What inspired her the most was Guo Wenxiang's remarks.
"Of course I want to win the award, because that's the biggest affirmation of my work, my work, and my dreams." He wiped the lenses and said to Xue Xue, "If there are photographers in this world who say they don't want to. If he wins the award, then I will say he is not professional enough, not honest enough."
"However, if he just wants to win the award, then I would say that he is not loving enough, not responsible enough."
Xue Xue held the coffee and listened intently.
The hot air rose from the mouth of the cup, and after getting used to the darkroom environment, it seemed that the little white fog could be seen very clearly.
"It's the same as rest and work. It's wrong to just think about rest and only work. The important thing is the process."
"Can you enjoy the rest time when you are resting, relax and enrich yourself? Can you enjoy the fun of work when you are working? Go hard, sprint, fight for and seize every opportunity, and say that the result is not important. It's self-deception, but everything I do is about the process."
"I was happy and tried my best during the process, and even if the result is not so ideal, I can accept it."
When the words fell, Guo Wenxiang put the glasses back on.
"Photography and life are the same thing to me, so, in a way, photography is my life."
At that moment, Guo Wenxiang's tone was very complicated.
Like emotion, but also like helplessness.
Perhaps there is still a little yearning and regret.
Xue Xue knew that it was Guo Wenxiang's past that he didn't want to be known to outsiders.
No one is smooth sailing. Life has always been about giving and losing.
"Look, I'm talking nonsense again."
Guo Wenxiang laughed at himself, pulling back Xue Xue Piaoyuan's thoughts.
"No." She sat up straighter. "I don't think it's nonsense."
"What you said has benefited me a lot." Xue Xue paused. "If you don't mind, I hope you will let me call Mr. Guo."
Guo Wenxiang was stunned.
He could see Xue Xue's expression.
Seriously, not kidding.
After a few seconds of silence, the man burst out laughing.
"The teacher is the teacher, you can call it whatever you want." He waved his hand. "But I'll say it first, really don't call me you, I'm not used to it, it's too weird, haha."
Xue Xue nodded.
"Okay, I'll pay attention."
After this sentence fell, he was speechless for a while.
However, Xue Xue did not express her intention to leave, because she could faintly feel that Guo Wenxiang still had something to say to herself.
really.
"I've been in this industry for a few years, and I don't dare to talk about cultivation and promotion, but I have also met a lot of good seedlings." He said slowly: "There are a few, and now they are known in the industry."
"However, there are more, but the crowd has disappeared."
Xue Xue blinked.
"The circle you are stepping into now can be said to be full of gold, and all the prosperity when you look up, but you must remember that there may be glass slag under the gold, and behind the prosperity, there are all kinds of phenomena in the world."
"It's a good thing to have motivation, and it's a good thing to have ambition, but when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it is a loss.
Guo Wenxiang said and stood up.
He bowed his head slightly and met Xue Xue who was sitting.
The eyes hidden behind the lens seem to be able to glimpse the future, thorough and deep.
"I'm very optimistic about you, so I read this to you." He patted Xue Xue on the shoulder. "There are many truths, it is not difficult to know, but difficult to do."
"I want you to be successful, but more importantly, that your success is meaningful."
Xue Xue was a little at a loss.
"significance?"
"Well, the meaning." He retracted his hand, a slight smile on his lips. "As for what the meaning is, you are still young, do it well, and you will find the answer slowly."
"beautiful."
"The composition is so comfortable."
"Wow, I like this one the most!"
Gu Wenwen was in high spirits from beginning to end.
"Keep your voice down, you are the loudest here." Xiao Li, who was concentrating on watching the exhibition, finally couldn't stand her chatter, and joked, "You see that Xue Xue can't stand it and run first."
"Who said she ran away because she couldn't stand me?" Gu Wenwen rolled her eyes unceremoniously. "Obviously, he and Xiao Nanshen have been to the two-person world. A typical man forgets his friends, hum."
"...Are you completely letting go of yourself after being rejected by the senior?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Wenwen glared at Xiaoli. "Is that the senior who tried to step on two boats and was caught by me? Pay attention to your words."
"… understood."
Xiao Li, who found that she and Gu Wenwen were not on the same channel, decisively gave up communication.
One talked all the way, the other listened all the way, and both were tired.
Xiao Li was about to ask Gu Wenwen if she could just find a place to sit down and have a drink, when she looked up and saw Xue Xue, who walked out of another exhibition hall with Xiao Yao, waving to them.
