Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 184 Chen Pingsheng’s Photography Open Class

With the arrival of March, South China College of Communication has also begun formal classes.

The same is true for the Photography Department, which repeats its daily schedule of theoretical classes in the morning and practical classes in the afternoon.

But in this boring life, a piece of news suddenly came out, which lifted the spirits of all the students!
"Have you heard? Senior Chen is going to hold an open class!" A male student walked on the road and said to his classmates.

"Are you really coming?" The classmate was a little skeptical. This news has been announced for a long time.

Although everyone knows that the school will definitely invite Chen Pingsheng, no one knows the specific time and form.

"And it shouldn't be an open class. Senior Chen can at most share his filming experience of "The Crow"." Another female classmate also said.

"But I hope he can teach some practical things." The male classmate continued: "The school teaches too little. It just follows the textbook. It is of little use after learning it. It is better to touch the camera."

"Come on, don't think about what those teachers have taken. They are definitely not as good as Senior Chen."

"Professor Li's class is quite good, but she doesn't talk about specific operations and principles, she only talks about aesthetics."

"Since Mr. Chen won the award, students from other departments have come to attend Professor Li's class."

"Yeah, so if Senior Chen really comes to class, he has to reserve a seat in advance, otherwise he won't be able to fit in."

The issues discussed by these students were naturally taken into consideration by Chen Pingsheng and the school. He was currently discussing the open classes with the dean of the School of Photography in her office.

"I think it would be better to divide it into two times." Chen Pingsheng paused for a moment and continued: "For students in this major, I will teach some photography knowledge. Then if other departments participate, I will talk about basic aesthetics. "

The dean is 52 years old. She is a very serious-looking woman, but she smiles all over her face when she faces Chen Pingsheng, because who doesn’t want such an award-winning genius to appear in their hospital!
These are all achievements!
"Okay, no problem, Pingsheng. The school will arrange it now, so which class should I start first?" The dean asked Chen Pingsheng for his opinion.

"Let's take a small lesson first."

"Then it's settled." The dean decided directly and called the director of the School of Photography to come over.

And just 10 minutes later, the news spread throughout the photography school class!

Chen Dong: "Senior Chen is really coming!"

Li Yuanmei: "Excited! Excited! How can I get the front row seat!"

Chen Dong: "@李binbin, Brother Bin, do our students have any privileges? Can we have a seat?"

Li Binbin: "I was just asking the director. The seats are assigned this time. They are according to the class in the lecture theater."

Chen Dong: "Ah, by class? There are so many people."

Li Yuanmei: “I thought someone would come and see it if they were interested!”

Li Binbin: "The director said that Mr. Chen will have two classes, one is an open class for the photography department, and the other is an open class for the whole school. So this time all the students in the photography department have to participate."

Jin Jiani: "I see, I can finally see Senior Chen again."

Chen Dong: "Did everyone see the "Crow" film festival? It's so amazing and so beautiful."

Jin Jiani: "Look, Senior Chen's photo style is so strong, no wonder he won the award!"

Chen Dong: "I want to ask Mr. Chen how to shoot, and I also want to learn!"

Li Binbin: "Just because you've learned it doesn't mean you can shoot it. It's better to practice the basics first."

Li Yuanmei: "I haven't gone to see it yet. I will go after class today!"

Chen Dong: "Let's go! I'll watch it again with you!"
-
Chen Pingsheng’s open class is scheduled for one and a half hours on Friday from 04pm to 30:[-]pm.

All photography department students are required to participate, as are teachers.

And just outside the department building, the school has made a poster about this news and posted it on the display board outside for everyone to watch.

At the same time, the specific time for Chen Pingsheng’s public lectures was posted on display boards around the school.

It is scheduled for 06:30 on Monday night, so you need to register in advance.

As for how many people will participate, the school is afraid that there will be too many people. After all, Chen Pingsheng is a student who won the award while still in school, which is completely different from those who won the award many years after leaving school.

The students were obviously more interested in the person who existed next to them.

Therefore, in just two days, as of Friday morning, 400 people across the school had signed up to participate.

Among them, the photography department accounts for the majority, and some are art and art design students.

The originally designated auditorium seemed a bit small to the school, so it was simply replaced by the Art Center, which is a newly built landmark building of the school.

It can accommodate the entire school's new students, and the school's welcome party is held here.

There are even many program groups who rent the venue for recording.

Therefore, it is easy to accommodate 500 people. The school plans to accommodate all comers as long as they sign up.At that time, the school leaders will also attend and say a few words to encourage the students.

But Chen Pingsheng didn't need to worry about these. He was waiting in the office at the moment, chatting with Professor Li about his next plan.

"Life, how was the film festival?" Professor Li asked while drinking hot water.

"Very good, there are a lot of people." Chen Pingsheng replied. He was combing through the ppt files on his computer. This was the content of the class he was about to take.

"Hey, then your income should be quite good." Professor Li smiled and did not explain the number clearly. "Yeah." Chen Pingsheng nodded.

"Then you should consider opening a company." Professor Li reminded him, taking a sip of water.

Chen Pingsheng wondered: "What do you mean? Teacher."

"Now the school encourages college students to start their own businesses. If current students set up a company, they will not only get tax exemptions, but also various supporting policies." Professor Li gave him guidance.

Chen Pingsheng then realized that the school had been talking about entrepreneurship since his freshman year, but at that time he didn't have anything to do with it.

Nowadays, whether it is income from film festivals or albums, you need to pay a lot of taxes. If you set up your own company, wouldn't it be possible to reasonably reduce a large part of it?

"Teacher, you reminded me that I really should set up a studio." Chen Pingsheng touched his chin and felt that he could discuss this matter with the dean.

The studio of the competition winner is quite attractive.

Just as he was thinking, the school bell suddenly rang.

"Buzz!"

"Teacher, I'm going to class first." Chen Pingsheng picked up the computer. Unexpectedly, Professor Li also stood up and said, "I'm with you too."

"Okay." Chen Pingsheng smiled and walked with her to the lecture theater next door.

Opening the door, he just walked in when he heard a loud voice: "Senior Chen!"

When I turned around, I saw that the lecture hall was filled with people. These students were eagerly looking forward to Chen Pingsheng's teachings.Not far away, a familiar girl was waving.

It's Jin Jiani.

Chen Pingsheng also waved and smiled, and then he saw his fellow students looking at him curiously, their eyes burning, as if they wanted to ask all kinds of questions immediately.Fortunately, there were teachers on site to maintain order.

Seeing Chen Pingsheng coming, Director Yu, who was standing on the podium, smiled and said: "Welcome Chen Pingsheng!"

"Wow!" The applause suddenly sounded like thunder.

Chen Pingsheng walked to the podium, and Director Yu introduced everyone: "This is the senior Chen who everyone has been thinking about, the winner of the Freeze-Frame World Competition and the Best Photo Album of the Year. Throughout their lives, these are juniors and juniors in the photography department. Say hello."

He picked up the microphone handed over by Director Yu and said: "Hello everyone, I am honored to be invited by the school to give you an open class today."

"At the same time, I am very happy to meet everyone. To be honest, I am still a little nervous."

Chen Pingsheng paused and continued: "Maybe when I won the award, I wasn't as nervous as I am now."

"Because in my acceptance speech, I only need to talk about myself. Saying good or bad will only affect myself. But this open class affects everyone here. I don't want to make any mistakes or bring mistakes. guide.

"So I thought about it for a long time and decided to start from the basics. In this class, we will not talk about other fake and empty things, but to help everyone understand a problem."

Chen Pingsheng connected the computer to the projector, pressed the remote control in his hand, and turned to the first page of the ppt.

"The color principle of photography, this is the lesson I bring today."

Hearing this sentence, the dean in the first row raised his eyebrows. Everyone did not expect that Chen Pingsheng would choose to start from this point. Although the basic principle is simple, it is actually the most difficult to explain clearly.

Many people who study photography may not really understand the relationship between them when they start working.

When it comes to color grading, there are many people who just rely entirely on their own feelings.

So all the teachers here began to look forward to it, wondering how the winner would explain it.

An old man with a serious face was also among them. He was none other than Professor Fang who had belittled Chen Pingsheng.

To him, it felt like he was having a dream recently.He is obviously an average student with very little talent, but his work was first recognized by the government and then won the highest award in the industry.

It's almost like being hooked.

Later, he specifically looked for Chen Pingsheng's previous photos, but he still found them unremarkable.

There is no way he can compare with the current student who can make "The Crow".

But maybe he received some kind of stimulation, maybe he got some kind of inspiration.

Professor Fang is a staunch materialist. He feels that Chen Pingsheng must have suffered a lot in private to achieve his current achievements.

That's why he took such a strange work. Although he didn't like it very much, he had to admit the gold content of this photo album.

Now, the student is giving a class to the photography department.

This was also Professor Fang's opportunity to recognize the level of this young man. He was looking forward to it, but he also didn't want Chen Pingsheng to make any mistakes.

This is the result of his emotions fighting against his reason.

After all, in addition to being a strict old man, he is also a teacher who teaches and educates people.

Just as he was staring at the ppt, Chen Pingsheng on the podium spoke: "Before this class officially starts, I want everyone to understand a concept first."

All the students were refreshed and Chen Pingsheng's class finally began.
