Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 139 Chen Pingsheng cuts through the mess quickly! (colorful)
"Large-format camera?" After receiving a call from Chen Pingsheng at Xijiao Studio, Boss Lin scratched his head in confusion and then looked around his store.

It seems that I really don’t have such an old antique.

"Let me ask you other people." Boss Lin said: "A few of my friends are collectors. I'll ask them if they have a large-format camera."

"Yeah, okay." Boss Lin hung up the phone, and then searched on WeChat for a long time before he found a group chat named "Antique Old Driver".

Then he sent a message: "Does any brother have a large-format camera? The winner of the Gesay award is in urgent need of one for shooting. The pay is good!"

Just when I was about to put it down, several message prompts came at the same time.

So Boss Lin looked at the screen.

The man who raised the panda: "Huh? The winner of the Grand Prize?"

Huahaoyuehao: "Liar! Who brought this in? Kicked."

Old Sui: "Wait a minute, it's Boss Lin, from the film store, I know him!"

The corner of Boss Lin's mouth twitched twice, wasn't he just keeping diving and not talking?Why are you being regarded as a liar?

Old Sui: "Old Lin, is that you? What's the name of your shop?"

Boss Lin quickly replied: "It's me, from Xijiao Studio. It was Lao Wang who pulled me in."

Huahaoyuehao: "I'm not a liar, that's fine."

Lao Sui: "It's Lao Lin, who is the winner of the competition? What's going on?"

Boss Lin: "Chen Pingsheng needs a large-format camera. He asked me. I don't have one in the store. I want to ask if anyone in the group has a collection. It can be used normally and has no defects!"

The man who raised the panda: "Good guy, Boss Lin is so well-connected, can you get an autograph?"

I won’t give it to you even if I want it!Boss Lin complained and was too lazy to reply.

Lao Sui: "I do, Lao Lin. I have a Linhaft Artifact 45 at home. It has a lens and photo paper. How about it? Is it enough?"

Boss Lin didn't expect that someone actually collected this thing, so he immediately replied: "Okay, I'll ask him, and we'll contact him privately if he wants it."

Then he changed hands and sent the message to Chen Pingsheng.

In fact, he is not very familiar with large-format cameras. He usually knows the most about full-frame and medium-format cameras. He has never seen such luxurious things as large-format cameras.

Although Chen Pingsheng is not that familiar with it, at least he knows some common sense.

Linhaff is one of the most well-known brands in the field of large-format cameras. Its cameras are hailed as the final destination by equipment enthusiasts, even higher than Hasselblad, Phase One, and Leica.The reason why it is ranked this way is mainly because of its frame size and imaging quality. After all, the imaging quality of large format cameras cannot be beaten by other cameras bundled together.

The minimum specification is 4×5, not to mention high specifications such as 8×10.

Zooming in to two meters is easy and effortless.

The so-called Technicolor actually means technology in German, that is, a camera with a tilt-shift function.

Speaking of tilt-shift, if you want to explain it clearly, you have to use actual shooting to explain it.For example, with the Feiming camera in Chen Pingsheng's hand, if he stood under a tall building and wanted to take a full picture of the tall building, he would have to shoot from above. Then the overall picture would be predictable, and the building would inevitably be deformed, with the upper part smaller and the lower part bigger. .

But if Chen Pingsheng uses a camera that can tilt to shoot, because the lens of the large-format camera is designed with a sliding module for left and right translation and up and down adjustment, when shooting such a building, the lens angle can be adjusted to make it as parallel as possible to the building. Take pictures without distortion.

This is also the advantage of tilt-shift. At the same time, there is a tilt-shift lens, which can make the real world look fake and make all the houses and people flow in a compact way.

You can often find similar videos on short video platforms, all shot using tilt-shift lenses.

The last 45 refers to the photo paper specifications.

After learning that Boss Lin had Linhaft Artifact 45, Chen Pingsheng made the decision without saying a word. Even if the museum may not be able to use it, there will definitely be places where it will be needed in the future.

He really wanted to ask the old Sui if he could give up his love, because he found that he would really need to use a large format to shoot some photo albums or hold photo exhibitions in the future.

After all, the photos taken by this kind of camera can be really huge.The larger the size and the more details, the more attractive it will be in an exhibition.

But that will have to wait until later.

Next, Chen Pingsheng faced Feimu's South China person in charge, Duan Yifeng.

"Hello, Mr. Duan." Chen Pingsheng felt that he understood the daily life of those investors.There are meetings in the morning and meetings in the afternoon. We are always chatting and communicating no matter when and where.

He felt that he didn't want to talk anymore and just wanted to listen to Duan Yifeng.

So after saying hello, he fell silent.

Duan Yifeng is a prominent person in business. For Feimu, he naturally meets many customers and investors on weekdays.

So he easily discovered that Chen Pingsheng was in the same state as those tired investors, seeming to have fallen into some kind of verbal fatigue.

So he didn't make any jokes, but said directly: "Brother Chen, how many years have I made you, so you don't mind." "I don't mind." Chen Pingsheng shook his head.

"Okay, these are the terms of the cooperation agreement that our Feimu Art Museum can give you. Take a look." Duan Yifeng opened the document and handed over a document.

Chen Pingsheng looked at the words above and listened to Duan Yifeng say: "We Feimu now have 21 art museums across the country, covering all first-tier cities and new first-tier cities, as well as some provincial capital cities. Then we can guarantee that there are top-notch art museums in the industry. Curators will plan your exhibition, and there are ample publicity resources. Short video platform recommendations, expert blogger recommendations, Xiaohongshu Station B exhibition recommendations, as well as newspapers and offline publicity in some cities."

"What is offline publicity?" Online publicity has now formed a fixed process. Chen Pingsheng also has some understanding of this. He wants to know what aspects of offline publicity there will be.

"Offline includes subway, bus, elevator advertising, as well as offline billboards and commercial center screen promotions." Duan Yifeng did not say any professional terms, he just explained Chen Pingsheng's problem in the simplest terms.

Chen Pingsheng nodded and continued to read the words on the contract.

If you were an ordinary photographer, of course you wouldn't have this kind of treatment at this time. After all, channels are king, and it would be too difficult for unknown works to be exhibited in art museums.

But if it is a scorpion cake like Chen Pingsheng's "The Crow", then it is not a buyer's market but a seller's market.

It took 10 minutes for Chen Pingsheng to carefully understand the contents of the contract.

In fact, the most critical issue is the proportion of shares.

If you choose non-wood, then you must get one from the Photography Association, because this is the resource they provide.

If he didn't choose Feimu, Chen Pingsheng would undoubtedly get more money, but for the association, it would be a bit unsatisfactory.

Humans are complex and social animals, and Chen Pingsheng did not want to live alone.One day in the future, I will encounter an accident, and there will be no one to help me.

In society, it is useless to be kind to others, but it is of great use to have a beneficial relationship with others and be kind.

Therefore, Chen Pingsheng has no intention of changing to another art museum.

Of course, he will not be tied to Feimu. This is just his first work. Giving it to Feimu is his goodwill towards the Photographic Association's discerning people.

If Feimu or the Photography Association does not intend to maintain this goodwill in the future, then he will naturally not give his works to them again.

But for now, Feimu still comes with sincerity.

They changed the original share ratio to Photography Association one, Chen Pingsheng [-], and Feimu Art Museum [-].

In this way, Chen Pingsheng's interests are also protected. It's not much, but it represents Fei Mu's attitude.

"I've finished reading it. There are no questions. Let's settle it." Now that he has got the answer he wants, Chen Pingsheng doesn't plan to read it anymore. He is more willing to spend extra time for photography instead of wasting time talking about these things. .

Duan Yifeng was still a little uneasy at this time, fearing that Chen Pingsheng would act like a big star and ask for more, but he didn't expect that the decision would be made so directly. It was incredibly refreshing.

"Okay!" He couldn't help shouting, and then said quickly: "Brother Chen, you are so refreshing. Don't worry, Brother Duan will definitely promote your work, and every publicity channel will not be left behind."

"Then thank you in advance, Brother Duan." Chen Pingsheng smiled, and then the two of them signed the contract in front of Liu Yizhao.

Perhaps it was because today was an auspicious day on the lunar calendar. As soon as he finished signing, he received another call to change the inscription.

"Changing the editor-in-chief, has there been any results?" Chen Pingsheng walked to the window sill and asked.

The voice of Gai Tuwen came from the other end of the phone: "In life, we have determined that we can give you an exceptional treatment, fifteen thousand copies."

Chen Pingsheng thought for a while, and the answer given by Changjiang Publishing House was 1 copies. There is no doubt that Huaxia Literature Publishing House is better.

"How about my life, can you be sure? This is indeed the boldest decision the publishing house has ever made." Gai Tuowen's tone was filled with expectation and nervousness.

The reason why they made the decision was because they conducted market research, and the data they obtained was that the sales of all domestic photography albums had experienced an increase.

Three thousand copies were sold nationwide in about a week.The sales volume was higher than that of the previous year, obviously because of the ripples caused by Chen Pingsheng's award-winning work.

Although the national media has not reported this, local media will not let such news go.

Therefore, if Chen Pingsheng's own works are published, the sales volume will definitely be higher. The publishing house estimates that about [-] copies can be sold in about a month.

Then [-] copies would be enough to sell out in four months to half a year.

This is acceptable to them.

Just when Gai Tuowen was getting anxious when he couldn't hear the response, Chen Pingsheng's voice suddenly came from the microphone.

"Okay, let's finalize the cooperation."

"Okay, I'll come to South China tomorrow!" Gai Tuowen breathed a sigh of relief.

When the dust fell to the ground, Chen Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief. He finally got these chores done.

The next step is to shoot the desired work.
