Chapter 30 The Business Behind the One-inch ID Photo
"From undergraduate freshman to doctoral students, theoretically, files must be updated, because it involves the verification and confirmation of student status information."

Li Zhaohui looked at the thoughtful Lu Man, and said, "There's a bit of a pain in the ass. Many college students' photos are actually collected before the college entrance examination, so..."

"It's ugly." Wang Xueai answered.

"Take Lu Man as an example. The high school photo you sent me in a private message on the forum is quite different from your own."

Li Zhaohui clicked his tongue and said: "Such a handsome guy, the photo is taken as a haggard look. I don't know, I thought you were squatting."

One year of preparing for the third year of high school, I was busy studying during the sprint stage, and suddenly one day the class teacher informed everyone to go together, and the school invited a photographer to come to the door to take ID photos for the students.The students fought with the sea of ​​books all day long, making their appearances unkempt, some even unkempt, and just took a photo, which will be printed on the high school diploma and kept in the student file on the Internet.

"If you don't want that ugly photo of yours to appear in your student status and student card, now you have this opportunity to re-upload your ID photo while Xuexin.com allows you to update your files. There was no such good thing before."

"In front is the school's studio."

Wang Xueai opened the door of the hall, and there was a stage with a curtain directly in front of the hall. The standard red curtain was the necessary background for the academic meeting of the party meeting. The complex vinyl wiring on the ground connected various equipment, professional lighting The lights are arranged on the ceiling, illuminating the stage without shadows in the dead corner.

After entering the door, Yang Zekai set up the tripod and adjusted the camera parameters: "Everyone in the team, please line up, and I will be able to take pictures for everyone soon."

Opposite the stage, there were rows of high-end audience seats. A group of people sat down and continued to chat about the topic of ID photos, complaining about the bad attitude of the photo studio, and condemning the monopoly business of Teacher Zhong and his relatives.

Lu Man listened carefully to their conversation, thinking silently in his mind.

A one-inch ID photo seems to be a lucrative business behind it.

For a period of time in the future, the country will advocate mass entrepreneurship and innovation, but small bosses who blindly enter the sea to start a business will never be able to succeed.

Entrepreneurship is not like the selective or passing exams that students often come into contact with. It is good to get 100 or [-] out of [-] points, and sometimes you can pass the exam.Entrepreneurship requires a full score of [-] points in order to be able to talk about success.

People, capital, technology, market, insurance.Entrepreneurship requires five elements. If any one fails to meet the standard, this business proposal should not be started, and it is doomed to fail.

Personnel, the number of manpower needed to take ID photos is not too much, photographers who can get started easily, plus a few people who manage money and do publicity, the team is formed; funds, with the help of the existing resources of the university, if you can follow the example of the advertising class to rent Machines and funds are not a big problem.

Technology, in addition to taking pictures, there are also a series of means to ensure the standard of photos. This can be achieved through PS software. After the characters are deducted and filled with fake curtains, it is already a very popular operation before rebirth. Now using this technology, it is better than Shooting in a set studio is better, because the former is more time-saving and efficient, and it is easy to refine at any time.

In the market, the upgrade of Xuexin.com has made the originally unpopular and low-demand one-inch ID photo market hot. There are no stores in the village. If you want to make money from it, you must seize this rare opportunity.

Risk, this needs to be resolved. The same kind of photography business around the school is firmly controlled by one person, or a small family of blood relatives with the same interests. This kind of teacher is still a member of the university system. If they touch their cake, what are the consequences? It is still unknown.

After all, it was a way to try. Lu Man slowly conceived the prototype of the project, and then gradually perfected the remaining details.

……

"Student, please straighten your collar and raise your head a little."

"Pull the hair in front of the forehead so that the forehead is exposed."

Yang Zekai, the senior in the advertising class, has already started taking pictures. From instructing grooming to pressing the shutter, one shot per minute is quite easy.

At this time, a small group of people entered outside the studio. The leader was carrying a JVC camera, who seemed to be a classmate of Yang Zekai's class.

"Hey, Ze Kai is a good photographer, and he's quite competent."

"Let's do our own thing, turn on the machine, and shoot a few empty shots of the studio."

Empty shots are pure scenes without characters and narrative elements. They are generally used in the transition of dramas, just like the sitcom "Family with Children". In the middle of each short story, there will be a few seconds of exterior scenes of Liu Xing's residential building, that is Empty camera transitions.

"The color of the machine is not right, one of you can help me look."

Just after turning on the machine, these people encountered a little trouble.

"The color temperature is wrong, it's only 3900K, how eerie."

"How about shooting ghost movies here? Quickly read the manual, which button do you need to adjust?"

"Go and look, the more than 400-page manual is thicker than a brick."

Lu Man sat in front of the seat near the door, next to a table with a microphone, and A4 paper for writing manuscripts on it.

He got up and picked up a white A4 paper: "Are you going to adjust the white balance of the machine?"

A girl was pressing the buttons of the camera randomly. She raised her head and saw Lu Man: "Eh? It seems that the teacher mentioned it in class... I can't remember clearly."

"I thought of it, I thought of it when I saw A4 paper!" A boy yelled, "It's cloudy outside, and the color temperature of our machine has been calibrated to a very low value. Now it's changed to a room with a strong light source, and we need to adjust the white again!"

Lu Man stood [-] centimeters in front of the machine and held up a white paper: "Dial the White BAL button."

This step is equivalent to telling the camera to readjust the color temperature "filter" that comes with the machine based on this white paper.

Before Lu Man was reborn, he had an exclusive interview with the city TV station. He remembered that the interview photographer had a blank sheet of paper in his pocket, and adjusted the white balance in his meeting room.

The boy did the same, and the color temperature displayed on the machine changed from 3900K to 5600K immediately, and the picture returned to normal.

"Thank you, classmate." The girl next to him looked at Lu Mansheng, "Are you the senior of the School of Journalism? We are in the 05-level advertising class. It seems that I haven't seen you in the studio?"

"He's Senior Brother Lu Man from the Faculty of Arts." Yang Zekai took advantage of the gap between taking pictures of one person, and turned his head to this side, "The corridors and shots I showed you yesterday were Senior Brother Lu who taught us to use banana peels. It was filmed."

"what?"

"Is this the senior brother?"

"Ah, brother, how did you come up with the idea?"

All the people in the advertising class broke out in a row, surrounding Lu Man, talking here and there.

Sitting in the auditorium, Gu Jiaer couldn't help laughing, and leaned her head on Wang Xueai's shoulder: "Sister Xiao Ai, is this okay? I'm bluffing so many seniors all at once."

"It's nothing bad." Wang Xueai said with a chuckle, "Those who have mastered it are brothers, and these few times of 'senior brother' should be regarded as their tuition fees."

Gu Jiaer raised her thin eyebrows: "I see how long he can pretend to be a big-tailed wolf 'brother'."
