Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 231 Return to Los Angeles (Wan Update 14)

The studio soon had a new look.

Huang Liao and Chen Pingsheng arranged the tables neatly, tidied the floor, and swept the ceiling with a broom to make the entire space look clean enough.

Afterwards, Huang Liao went out to buy some office supplies and came back, which made the studio no longer look like an abandoned house.

Chen Pingsheng also made a list of equipment and handed it to Huang Liao.

In fact, there is not much photography equipment to use here, because there are basically no projects to shoot here.But what Chen Pingsheng considers is that if the number of people in the studio increases in the future, he cannot always invest his own money, and it is very important to balance the income and expenses.

Therefore, regular shooting jobs can be taken over, allowing the studio to support itself.

And there is a studio where Chen Pingsheng can better teach his assistants about lighting techniques.

This is the knowledge Huang Poly needs to learn urgently.

It has to be said that Chen Pingsheng's life has indeed become less trivial after having an assistant. In addition, Huang Liao works very quickly, and it didn't take long for Chen Pingsheng to get feedback on the purchasing channels and prices of the equipment.

Chen Pingsheng looked at the form. It was very clear and transparent, and there was no room for him to swallow money privately.

This undoubtedly made him feel more at ease.

Three days passed like this, and a new job came from Film Magazine.

"We are filming a business tycoon, and we have to interview him for two days." Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao talked about the specific shooting process and shooting plan.

It was Huang Liao's first time participating in a magazine interview and shooting. She looked very serious and was taking notes all the time, as if she was afraid of missing any detail.

When the two returned to the studio again, it was already five days later.

Chen Pingsheng yawned and sat on the chair.

Opposite me, Huang Liao is looking at the computer, doing post-processing.

"The Internet industry is so busy now!" Huang Liao exclaimed while adjusting the basic shadows, highlights and contrast of the picture.

Everything they had witnessed in the past few days made her feel that her decision was so right.

Chen Pingsheng also nodded and said, "This is the first time I have seen such a desperate company."

The person they were interviewing was a business tycoon who was starting his own business for the fifth time. He had successfully listed four companies before and was worth hundreds of millions.

But perhaps because I am very optimistic about the future prospects of a certain industry, I started to start a business from scratch this time.

Their team has a total of 56 people, and everyone is an elite in the industry. It stands to reason that their lives should be very nourishing, and they do not need to work hard every day.

However, in fact it was not the case. On the contrary, they fought harder.

The company's policy is to start work at ten in the morning and get off work at seven. However, everyone from the boss to the employees often lays the floor in the office, and a simple folding bed is placed next to everyone's workstation.

On the day they were filming, these employees were sleeping in the office because they worked until three in the morning.

At seven o'clock in the morning, I got up again and started working hard for a new day's work.

To be honest, it would be fine if they just stayed up late, but according to what they learned during those two days, the most uncomfortable thing was actually the irregularity in their lives.

Because the company has many meetings, it is normal for meetings to last several hours every day, so meals often have to make way for meetings.

And the daily schedule is irregular. It's four o'clock in the morning today, twelve o'clock tomorrow, and three o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow. This situation is also very common.

This has caused many people's bodies to be overwhelmed, but they still grit their teeth and persevere for a bright future.

In other words, perseverance is not to be said. Chen Pingsheng knows that the money provided by his boss is at the top level in the industry, and there are many various benefits.

He also promised various wealth distributions after listing.

If this group of people can survive until that day, not to mention financial freedom, it is very possible to at least earn enough salary for more than ten years to buy a house.

High risk and high reward, not to mention there are many people who are really willing to participate.

They have no spare time and don't like to do other things. Only working overtime can make them feel that they are working hard to live.

Both Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao found this idea unbelievable.

But there are thousands of different people in the world, and everyone has their own way of living.

But if Chen Pingsheng was asked to do it by himself, he would definitely not do it.

He is afraid of sudden death.

"Brother Chen, my visa has been issued." At this moment, Huang Liao's cell phone suddenly rang. She checked it and said happily.

"Then we can go to Los Angeles."

"What subject matter are you going to Los Angeles to shoot?" Huang Liao was a little curious. She didn't know the specific itinerary yet.

"It's a follow-up shoot, shooting the daily life of some street children." Chen Pingsheng replied.

"Street child?" Huang Liao nodded thoughtfully and continued to work on the latter stage.

When Chen Pingsheng saw this, he suddenly asked: "Why do you insist on being my assistant so much?"

Huang Liao suddenly stopped the mouse when he heard this sentence, looked at him and said: "Because I think you are the person who can understand my work."

She has been ridiculed and ignored enough during her college photography years. Too many people thought she was photographing useless things, and no one thought she was really serious about artistic photography.Even if you take the photos to your teachers or professors, they will just shake their heads after seeing them, feeling extremely bored.

The composition cannot be seen in the composition, the color cannot be seen in the color, and even the content is quite monotonous.

How can this be art photography?
The continuous input of this concept caused Huang Liao to give up on herself, wondering whether she really had no photography talent.

Until Chen Pingsheng's deafening voice sounded in the auditorium, President He Fu's criticism formed a completely opposite perception.

Those words broke Huang Liao's inherent impression of the photo and let her know that someone could see and recognize her thoughts.

This undoubtedly gave her great motivation.

Therefore, during college, she still insisted on her own photography, even though she was still not liked by most people.

However, this situation changed a lot after Chen Pingsheng won the competition award, because everyone in the school knew that her work had been praised by them.

Even Huang Liao's other works are considered valuable.

The school even thought that Huang Liao might be able to follow a similar path to Chen Pingsheng, so it gave her a lot of convenience.

This was all brought about by the man in front of him, even if he didn't know anything about it.

So Huang Liao insisted on becoming this assistant, not only to repay his previous help, but also for her own dream.

She wants to turn her photography ideas into reality and become a photographer comparable to Chen Pingsheng.

"That's why you've been paying attention to me and called me after you found out about this studio?" Chen Pingsheng asked, his tone was flat and no emotion could be heard.

Huang Liao took a deep breath and said frankly: "Well, it was me who made the call."

In fact, Chen Pingsheng knew who made the call after the interview. He just didn't expect that even though he had already been promised an interview, Huang Liao still submitted his resume to apply.

"If it had been during the Republic of China, you would have become an outstanding intelligence agent." Chen Pingsheng praised him.

"Maybe." Huang Liao smiled, and the face under the neat short hair was finally no longer so cold, but had a little warmth.

There was no embarrassment in her attitude, no anger or surprise after being called out, as if she was ready to be discovered at any time.

But Chen Pingsheng did not continue to ask more questions because he did not think this was a bad thing.

He just suddenly raised the corners of his mouth: "To be honest, I was really shocked at the time. I thought I had encountered some kind of telecommunications fraud."

The smile on Huang Liao's face also deepened: "I should have used a voice changer at that time."

"That's even scarier!" Chen Pingsheng shook his head.

"Hahaha."
-
The plane landed in Los Angeles, and Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao walked out of the airport.

Huang Liao took her mobile phone and looked through the English dictionary on it, while she kept reciting what she wanted to say next in a low voice.

She has been learning English since the plane took off, and Chen Pingsheng can often see her studying in the studio these days.

He was in a very serious state, and he was as good as the one who stayed behind closed doors at that time.

Not long after, a car drove over and stopped in front of Chen Pingsheng and the others.

"Bang!" A middle-aged white man got out of the driver's seat. This was the driver Shah had found for him.

"Hello! Is it Chen?" The white man with a beard and a kind smile walked up to Chen Pingsheng and shook hands with him.

"Benik! It's me, this is my assistant, Huang Liao." Chen Pingsheng introduced him, and then Huang Liao came forward and said, "Hello."

"Get in the car, Chen!" Benik waved, his clothes shaking a few times with his round belly.

After the two got into the car, Benik asked, "Where are we going next?"

Just as Chen Pingsheng was about to speak, Huang Liao answered first: "Here, San Fernando, we will stay here for a while."

Her spoken language is a little jerky, but it is enough for normal communication.

"No problem, Miss Huang." Benik glanced at the navigation and started the vehicle.

On the way, local radio music was playing in the car, and it was all hip-hop music, which sounded restless.

Chen Pingsheng looked at the scenery outside the window, turned around and saw Huang Liao reading English software, and couldn't help but said: "You don't have to study every day, just look at the scenery here."

He felt like a parent. Faced with a child who loved learning, the only headache was thinking about how to stop her from being so obsessed.

Huang Liao said "hmm" and then turned to look out the window.

But every few minutes, she would lower her head and glance at the words on her phone.

Looking at the headphones she put on again, Chen Pingsheng was helpless and really wanted to say something: Liaozi, you love studying too much.

But that's fine, because it's really inconvenient to be here if you're not familiar with English. Chen Pingsheng can't dissuade people from their enthusiasm, so he can only let it go.

After thinking about it, he simply took out his mobile phone and prepared to practice his Spanish listening.

Regardless of whether you use it or not, learning it will not be in vain.
