Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 257 The best album of the year!
The Freeze World Awards soon moved to its next phase.

After a number of category awards were handed out, it was the turn of the new annual awards.

"Best single photo of the year!"

"Winner, Chen Pingsheng, "Yangtze River No. [-]"!"

As the names of the guests were read out, all the guests and fans watching the live broadcast once again fell into enthusiastic cheers.

Chen Pingsheng came to the stage with the trophy and said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, it's me again."

Everyone immediately applauded.

"Thank you to the organizing committee and all the judges for recognizing my work." He pointed to "Yangtze River No. [-]" displayed on the big screen behind him, and continued: "It is based on the Yangtze River scenery in China. It is a condensed The Yangtze River, I hope everyone can see from it what it looked like before humans were born."

"This is one of nature's greatest gifts to humanity, and I think we need to remember it."

Accompanied by applause, Chen Pingsheng returned to his seat.

Looking at the golden stage and red curtain, he felt as if he was in a dream. He did not expect that his works would win awards one after another, and at this time, the biggest award he was sure of had not yet appeared.

Best movie series of the year.

Will he become the first winner of three trophies in the history of the competition?
Even though he had imagined such a scene before, Chen Pingsheng was still not mentally prepared enough.

So the long wait began. Chen Pingsheng looked at the host Chris and felt that every time he mentioned the award, he seemed to be talking about the best album of the year.

It's a pity that Chris didn't say these five words.

The next big award is the Photography Newcomer of the Year award.

This award was awarded to a Norwegian photographer. She is a 15-year-old child who photographed cities, people and buildings from her childlike perspective.

This was also her first time shooting a photo album, and she didn't expect to win an award.

Many people immediately compared him with Chen Pingsheng, but found that Chen Pingsheng did not seem to have won this award, as if he was never recognized as a newcomer from the beginning.

After that, he waited another 10 minutes, only to receive the award for the most influential photo of the year.

This has nothing to do with Chen Pingsheng, it was captured by the news photography "Flying Birds".

It was a photo taken in a war-torn area. The bird took off into the distance with a piece of meat in its mouth, while the body of a young man lay on the ground.The viewer doesn’t know whose meat the bird’s beak belongs to. It may belong to an animal or a human.

This undoubtedly adds to the horror of war and sympathy for the victims.

So Gesei awarded the award to the photographer of this photo, a reporter who has been active on the battlefield all year round.

Now only two awards remain.

Chen Pingsheng was thinking in his mind, and the category awards were getting less and less. After waiting for a singer to warm up, Chris took the stage again and looked at the audience with a mysterious expression.

"Guys, what's the most stressful moment of the competition every year?"

Chris asked everyone.

Then he asked himself: "Of course it's time to hand out the last two awards! Are you excited?"

"Excited!" a group of young photographers shouted in support.

"Very good, it seems that your work must have been nominated!" After Chris finished speaking, he pretended to be surprised and said: "No nomination? Then what do you care about? It's better to go to bed early."

"Hahaha, okay, I know why everyone cares so much about these awards. It's not because it's valuable, or because the winning works are great. Whether they win or not, it doesn't affect the status of these works in our hearts. "We In fact, what I want to know is whether my aesthetics has been recognized by the competition, and whether the work I like has received the laurels it deserves. "

Chris took the card and spoke out his speech.

But he felt it was a bit strange, because this was a line that Mr. Ericsson had temporarily replaced, and it sounded a bit...questioning.

"Okay, so the award we are going to give out next is not a big deal! It is the best album of the year!"

"Wow!" The applause was like thunder. Everyone had been waiting for this moment for too long.

“Next, let’s invite our award-giving guests, Mr. Lalis Eriksen, Chairman of Gesai, and Ms. Akihi Kawashima, a well-known artist! Announce the nominees and winners for us!”

As soon as the words fell, Mr. Ericson and Ms. Akihi Kawashima walked to the stage. They took the nomination list and picked up the microphone. Ms. Akihiro Kawashima spoke first: "It is an honor to announce this to everyone. List. Thanks also to Mr. Erikson for the invitation.”

When everyone's applause subsided slightly, she continued: "I think this award is very important. It was created to encourage everyone to find new ideas for the photography industry, so every nominee and their ideas are worthy of everyone." educational."

"Then the nominees for this award are..."

Mr. Erikson opened the list and read: "Neon, Iwama Koichi, "Rainbow"!"

The applause was extremely enthusiastic because this was Iwama Koichi being nominated in his home country.

“Morocco, Sheschi Leppe, The Perfect City!”

A middle-aged man with his back raised politely waved his hand, with uncontrollable joy on his lips.

"Nigeria, Yuwe, Hymn!"

The black man couldn't help but stand up when he heard the nomination and bowed to everyone's applause.

When the nomination was read to the last one, Mr. Erikson paused and said in a somewhat complicated tone: "China, Chen Pingsheng, "The Decisive Moment"!"

"Wow!"

Everyone looked at this young man again, marveling at his talent.

Although everyone had some expectations before, we know that this work has a great reputation around the world, and we also know everyone's evaluation of it.

But when the awards were announced, I was still a little surprised.

Because if Chen Pingsheng wins again, he will break the competition history and become the only photographer to hold three awards. What an honor it is!
It can be said that in the entire history of photography, we have never seen such energetic young people!
Just when everyone was looking forward to it, Kawashima Akihi opened his card, and then opened his eyes in surprise.

Her expression was clearly visible through the screen, and everyone suddenly became nervous, wondering whether the first winner of three awards at the same time was about to be born?

"The winner of the best album of the year is..."

Kawashima Aki deliberately prolonged his tone, and when everyone held their breath and even lacked oxygen, he read out the final name.

"Koichi Iwama, "Rainbow"!"

"Congratulations to Iwama Koichi!"

Her tone was excited, as if she was happy for the neon local photographer to win the award.

But the applause did not come as promised, but paused for two seconds before gradually ringing out!
