If The Moon Won’t Hold You

Some people say that photography is a lonely art.

Cen Ning chose this lonely road, but never worried that he would walk alone.

While studying in the United States, she has met many seniors and colleagues, some are foreigners with yellow hair and blue eyes, and some are Asians like her. They were originally on their own tracks, but now because of photography. connected together.

Cen Ning is very fortunate that she chose to study this time. She has learned so much from the class and photography friends. She has a new understanding of creativity, skills and concepts.

And her photographic works that have progressed in general have also been appreciated by her tutors and many photographers.

In her second year at the School of Visual Arts in New York, Cen Ning was recommended by her mentor and became a contract photographer for StarImages, the largest image supplier in the United States.

In the third year, his work "Xia" won a gold medal in a world-renowned photography competition. In the same year, Cen Ning graduated with full credits from school.

At the beginning of the fourth year, Cen Ning's work was exhibited at the top international photography art gallery 4one. As the youngest photographer in the festival, she received a lot of attention. Later, many photography companies and studios in the United States also offered her an olive branch.

However, they were all rejected.

"Ningning, I heard you don't go to GalenRowell's studio? Really?" In the apartment, the Chinese roommate Meisha who lives with him asked in shock.

Cen Ning packed up the piled books and said, "Well, I won't stay in the United States, so naturally I can't agree."

"How many photographers want his favor, many people want to enter his studio."

"I like him too," Cen Ning turned around and smiled, "but I have my plan."

"Ah, I see, is it because of Duan Xiaoquan? Did he give you any benefits for you to return to China for development?"

Cen Ning smiled and said: "I accepted the invitation of his studio IZ, but I was going to return to China, not because of..."

"Hey, I knew it was because of our senior Duan, how did he promise you? Can you leave you behind so many temptations in the United States?"

Cen Ning thought for a moment: "IZ's curator?"

"What?! Let you be the curator of IZ Gallery directly? No wonder you want to go back! IZ is now the top gallery in our country or even the world."

Cen Ning joked: "Hey... Listening to what you mean, it seems that I am very powerful?"

Meisha looked excited: "The power! The invincible power! But if I have such a good thing, I am willing to power!"

Cen Ning: "Okay, go with your power. Don't step on this, I'll clean up."

Meisha completely ignored her, chatting next to her, "Cen Ning, do seniors like you?"

Cen Ning paused and said helplessly: "Mesa, don't always gossip like that. I said earlier that Mr. Duan is just my senior, and I have a boyfriend."

"What kind of boyfriend? You said that you have been working alone in the United States these years, and the people who helped you are all senior Duan?" Meisha said angrily, "Besides, senior Duan is gentle and talented. Handsome, a lot of people like it. It's definitely better than your boyfriend who never sees the end."

Cen Ning stood up holding the book and fixedly looked at the girl with teeth and claws in front of him: "Mesa, he is better than anyone else."

Mesa: "Senior..."

"If you say something bad about him, I will be angry with you."

Mesa: "..."

"Also, I'm going back to China next week. You have to find another roommate."

When it came to this, Mesa suddenly got a bitter face: "Oh, do you have to rush like this? I can't bear you."

"You are about to complete your credits, and you will be able to graduate soon. See you in the country by then, you don't have to bear with me."

"That's what I said, but how lonely I should be in my life without you suddenly."

"Come on, don't say so much nasty things." Cen Ning walked into her room holding the book, "I have this free time to help me pack up."

"Tsk! You hate it!"

**

A week later, Beijing Capital International Airport.

Holding a sign, Zhang Ziyi pulled Tang Zheng and waited eagerly at the exit.

"I said, you don't have to take such a big brand? Isn't that why you are so exaggerated to pick up someone you don't know." Tang Zheng looked at Zhang Ziyi, who seemed to be picking up some star, and smiled very badly.

However, Zhang Ziyi was too lazy to beat him at this moment. She gave him a blank look and said with no anger: "What do you know, I would rather not come back for a long time, I have to let her feel my enthusiasm."

"Good, good." Tang Zheng looked at the words "Super Invincible Universe Beauty Photographer Miss Cen Ning" on the sign, and said with a sullen smile, "Just don't scare people away with your enthusiasm."

"Shut up, you, this is the friendship between our women, what do you know about a big pig's hoof."

"Me? Why am I having a big pig's hoof again?"

"Hush! Be quiet, I don't have the time to quarrel with you now... eh eh, someone has come out, eyes wide open!"

Tang Zheng pinched Zhang Ziyi's forehead, angrily and funny: "Got it!"

Cen Ning walked out with the person in front of her after taking the luggage. There were many people waiting for the flight today. She took off her sunglasses and stood in a place that was not in the way and swept around.

Suddenly, her eyes froze.

Super invincible...Cosmic Girl Photographer...Miss Cen Ning? ? ?

Cen Ning quickly put on the sunglasses, Zhang Ziyi, this guy...

Zhang Ziyi watched for a long time without seeing Cen Ning coming out. When she was wondering if something went wrong, suddenly someone patted her shoulder behind her.

Zhang Ziyi turned his head suspiciously, and saw a woman wearing sunglasses stood behind him at some unknown time.

Zhang Ziyi was stunned for a few seconds. After the woman pulled off her sunglasses, her eyes widened suddenly: "Rely... Ningning?"

Tang Zheng also stared unexpectedly.

The little girl was completely grown up and completely transformed, from a timid and timid girl to a confident and calm woman.

There is not much change in appearance, but I don't know why, just a glance can clearly distinguish the person in front of him from the person in the past.

Sometimes, temperament is really a kind of magical existence. The person in front of him is definitely a person in the crowd who can be caught by a glance.

"Zi Yi, Tang Zheng, it's been a long time." Cen Ning took away the sunglasses and glanced at the sign Zhang Ziyi was holding, "Well... you put this thing away first."

Zhang Ziyi didn't even listen to these words, she threw the sign into Tang Zheng's arms and hugged Cen Ning: "You are finally back! You are too cruel for so many years!"

Cen Ning also stretched out her hand to hug her, feeling a little guilty: "I went out with my mentor and friends to take pictures during the holiday. I'm sorry, I didn't come back."

"I know you are so busy! You guy, you have been traveling around the world all these years."

"I was at work."

"Hey, yeah, yeah, work, so desperately...you are a horrible woman!"

Cen Ning smiled: "I'm not back now, right?"

As she said, she looked at Tang Zheng: "He, don't you know?"

Tang Zheng said triumphantly: "I don't know, it's a good idea. He has been in the army these days and is very busy."

Cen Ning nodded: "Thank you."

"Make a surprise for Brother Yan, as it should be."

On the same day, Cen Ning returned to Yanjia.

No one in the family knew that she came back today. When they saw her, they were all surprised and pleasantly surprised.

Cen Ning gave the carefully selected gifts to everyone, and stayed at home for another night, chatting for a long time with the elders whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Ningning, it's really unfortunate that you came back today." Aunt Chen regretted when she cleaned up the room, "If I came back two days ago, I would still be at home."

"It doesn't matter, I heard Tang Zheng say that he was a little busy these two days."

"Yes, they all live in the army." Aunt Chen turned to look at her after finishing the bed.

Cen Ning smiled embarrassedly: "I haven't changed much, and we also occasionally watch videos."

Aunt Chen: "There is a difference between video and face-to-face. Besides, occasionally, both of you are so busy. It's clear to yourself whether you often contact you."

In fact, there is no regular contact.

Coupled with the jet lag relationship and the two have their own affairs, it is impossible to maintain the density of contact like an ordinary couple.

Moreover, the identity of words and deeds is endowed with a special mission and cannot leave the country privately. In the first two years, Cen Ning returned to China through a vacation to collect the wind, but her stay was short, so the number of days the two have met in the past few years can be counted.

However, neither of them mentioned the matter of "less meeting", it seems to be avoided deliberately, and it seems to be a complete trust.

Aunt Chen: "Forget it, don't talk about it. Anyway, after waiting for two days, you will come back. You won't leave, don't worry, don't worry."

Cen Ning: "Well, what you said is."

In fact, there is no need to wait two days at all. Because Cen Ning had already taken over a domestic job when he was in the United States, and this job was led by Tang Zheng.

I remember that when she was still in college, she used to go to the army to take publicity photos with the photographer Hao Jie.

Every year when the army recruits new recruits, there will be such a job. This time, Cen Ning took it.

But this time she was completely different from her last time. Last time she was a small assistant, and this time, it was her home court completely.

**

Duan Xiaoquan’s IZ assigned her a deputy and assistant after signing Cen Ning. She is personally free here. Except for the more important film festivals every year, she is free to take over work at other times. If she doesn’t take over work, she is also free. Can go out to work.

This time she went to the army to take over her job. This morning, after getting in the car sent by IZ, Cen Ning followed the staff and set off.

Today's business is more urgent, so Cen Ning only met with his work partner who will be together for a long time after arriving in the car.

The deputy Yang Fan is a more experienced photographer, about her age. The assistant Xiao You is a little girl who just graduated from university, she is rather shy and speaks very quietly.

For some reason, when Cen Ning saw her, she thought of her former self inexplicably. Carefully, with respect for seniors and yearning for photography...

It took an hour for the car to reach the army. After getting off the car, Cen Ning saw Tang Zheng greet him personally.

"I'm here, the dormitory has been arranged for you, and I will take you there."

Cen Ning: "Why did you come here in person."

"What do you mean," Tang Zheng said in a low voice, "I can't afford to entertain you when you are here. By the way, when Brother Yan blames me for hiding from him, you have to help me."

Cen Ning smiled: "Then, what about others?"

"There is a meeting in the regiment, as the head of the regiment, but to preside over the overall situation."

"Oh."

"Anyway, you should settle in the dormitory first, and then come out to shoot after you have rested."

Cen Ning: "Okay."
