Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 263: The Asada Family in Various Identities (He Zhang Youcai)
Before dinner, the master of the Asada family and the father of the Asada brothers, Arino Asada, also returned home.

He is a relatively short neon man, not as tall and thin as his two sons.

There is a mustache on the upper lip, which looks a little funny.

"Are there any guests today?" Like Masamune Asada, he saw the extra shoes as soon as he entered the yard, then opened the wooden door and saw everyone chatting and eating.

"Why did you come back?" Liangzi complained, then stood up and walked over to take off her husband's coat.

"Today's fishing was very good, and I really can't stop." After Asada Arino finished speaking, he looked at Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao: "What do you call these two guests?"

Zhengzhi started a new round of introductions.

After Asada Arino sat down and ate with everyone, the topic finally came to family albums.

"When will we start filming?" Brother Masamune asked first.

Masashi sandwiched vegetable tempura, dipped it in soy sauce, and replied, "If you can, let's start tomorrow."

"Nani?" Masamune looked surprised. He hadn't finished chewing the rice in his mouth and couldn't help but said, "Are you in such a hurry? I still want to rest for two days."

"Brother, don't even think about going to the store next door to play marbles." Zhengzhi revealed his brother's true intentions without mercy.

"Hey, I haven't played with marbles or anything like that for a long time." Masamune defended for a moment, then looked at his father.

"Dad, have you bought all the clothes my brother asked you to prepare?"

Arino Asada blew his beard when he heard this: "How is that possible! If we buy so many clothes, will the cabinet at home still be able to fit them in? We can just borrow them."

"The borrowed clothes always feel like they are not my own and they are uncomfortable to wear."

"You brat, please be more frugal!" Arino Asada said with eyes wide open.

Then Liangzi interrupted their conversation: "Okay, there are guests here!"

"Sorry for making you laugh." She apologized to Chen Pingsheng.

Chen Pingsheng nodded and said with a smile: "We have a very good relationship."

"Yeah, because of his work, we have to rest for several days and have no money." His brother Masamune looked a little dissatisfied, but then he was frightened by his father who raised his chopsticks and wanted to beat him. He stopped talking nonsense.

"Teacher, let's start tomorrow." Zhengzhi had already made up his mind to film this work.

"Well, about makeup..."

"Just let me do it." Liangzi said with a smile, "I still have some experience with makeup."

"Let me help you." After Huang Liao ate the sushi, he also found a job for himself: "I can do some manual work."

"Then why are you so embarrassed? This is our family's business, and I still need to trouble you."

"It's okay, this is everyone's work, everyone must participate in it." Chen Pingsheng persuaded.

"Then trouble popper!" Liangzi nodded and agreed to Huang Liao's help.

So in such a harmonious atmosphere, the next morning arrived.

"Wake up!" Zhengzhi shouted from across the room, waking everyone up one by one, except Chen Pingsheng.

But he was already sitting in the living room, because he never put on any airs, and he only meant seriousness when it came to filming.

He slept at Asada's house last night, which was too kind to refuse, but he was really not used to sleeping on the tatami.

Lying on his side made Chen Pingsheng uncomfortable, and he could only fall asleep by lying flat on his back.

Huang Liao, who got up very early, wiped her hair with a towel and sat next to him with a toothbrush in her mouth. She seemed to be more adapted to life here than him.

"You got up so early." Chen Pingsheng touched his messy hair and wondered if he should wash his hair soon.

"The main reason is that I really can't sleep on the tatami." Huang Liao came closer to him and whispered something, not daring to let others hear.

Chen Pingsheng tugged at the corner of his mouth, and the two of them thought about going together, and decided in their hearts that they would not sleep at Asada's house tonight.

In addition to them, Liangzi also got up early and was already preparing breakfast for everyone in the kitchen.

Only Arino Asada and his brother Masamune were still sleeping in bed.

After Zhengzhi woke them up, they stood in the yard and washed up together. When they returned to the living room, everyone had already started eating.

"Did you start filming so early?" Masamune squinted his eyes, seeming to be still immersed in sleep.

"Pah!" Arino Asada tapped his head with chopsticks: "Wake up."

"Ah, it hurts!" Masamune held his head, picked up the rice ball and started eating.

Ten minutes later, Chen Pingsheng, who had already finished eating, saw the members of the Asada family still eating slowly, so he went to the yard early.

The camera they are going to use this time is a Pentax 67, which belongs to Zheng Zhi.

The reason why Chen Pingsheng's own camera was not used was because he did not plan to shoot this work alone, but only planned to take part of it and then hand over the rest of the photos to Masashi Asada.

Because Masashi Asada put much more effort into this album than he did. He just proposed an idea, and the specific implementation and preparation were completed by Masashi himself.

Not to mention the cooperation of his family.

Chen Pingsheng originally wanted Zhengzhi to shoot it himself and he could just write a preface, but Zhengzhi did not agree and was very persistent in wanting him to shoot it.

Even when Chen Pingsheng told him that this work would bring him great fame, he still insisted.

Unable to defeat him, Chen Pingsheng could only agree.

However, when this work is typed, edited and published, both names will be on the list of authors. It can be regarded as Chen Pingsheng's first attempt to collaborate with others to complete a work.

After finishing adjusting the camera, Huang Liao also took out the lamps.

They brought everything with them when they came to Neon this time, because they had not planned to leave Neon too early. After finally coming here, they naturally had to create some works before going back.

"Where should we shoot first?" Huang Liao wore a light yellow jacket today with a black suspender underneath. She has always been in good shape, especially after working out, which makes people feel more energetic.

"Let's start shooting from the door first." Chen Pingsheng walked out of the courtyard with his camera and pointed the Pentax 67 lens at Asada's house number.

In Chen Pingsheng's plan, this work will adopt a step-by-step approach, with an introduction at the beginning.

The house number photo is one of them.

"Click!" After adjusting the angle, Chen Pingsheng pressed the shutter, and the medium-format camera immediately made a crisp sound.

At this moment, the Asada family, who had already packed up, finally walked out of the house and came to the yard.

"Hey! Look at me!" Brother Masamune proudly raised the wooden board made by his father. There was a big red arrow on it, which seemed to be pointing in a certain direction.

Everyone in the Asada family wears very regional clothing, that is, the clothing of local fishermen.

Ryoko and Arino Asada wore hats on their heads, while Masashi wore a yellow vest with various words written on it.

"They look like they're going fishing," Huang Liao said with a smile.

"Very good." As soon as Chen Pingsheng finished speaking, Asada Arino took out a welcome flag and an orange speaker from the warehouse.

"Teacher! We are all ready!" Zhengzhi walked quickly to Chen Pingsheng. "Then let's set off!" After putting away the tripod, Chen Pingsheng took the lead in walking out of Asada's house.

Their first stop was to the highway entrance.

This is also the second photo at the beginning of the photo album "The Asada Family" as a guide.

A total of two cars were driven. Because the area here is not large, Chen Pingsheng only sat in the car for a few minutes, and the few of them arrived at the target location.

After getting out of the car, Zhengzhi immediately started to arrange things for his family.

"Yes, Mom, you can just sit on the railing! It's good to hold the speaker!"

"Dad, you hold the flag."

"Brother! Don't smoke! You have to hold the sign on your chest!"

For family members, Zhengzhi is familiar with their temperaments, so every position is made for them personally.

After the other three people finished standing, Zhengzhi also ran over and stood on their left side.

Chen Pingsheng looked at the composition, and then said: "Masashi, stand a little higher, and Mr. Arino, you too. Masamune, you don't have to, you can just stand at the bottom."

The reason why they are made every other one higher is to create a height difference.

There are many outstanding techniques for taking group photos. Making the characters look staggered and showing height differences is one of the most classic techniques.

There is also distance control, such as moving some characters closer to the camera and keeping others farther away from the camera to achieve a regular composition of one size or another.

These are all useful photography tips.

It’s just that many people are accustomed to flat-shooting since they were students, which leads to many photos that don’t look active at all.

Many people like the student photos and youth photos taken by neon photographers, and label them as Japanese style.

But the techniques are the same. The biggest feature of the Japanese style is not the color tone or the composition, but the control of the shooting scale and the exaggerated use of body expressions.

Anyone who has seen Japanese-style photos will wonder how those models are so natural and how they can make such artificial movements without looking embarrassed. This is the essence.

It is also the inner core of all the works of Neon Nation. Whether it is literature or film and television, Neon people have a special skill of being able to make embarrassing things and embarrassing words into a secondary meaning.

Even their lives are actually filled with indifference and alienation.

But precisely for this reason, exaggeration has become their special way to break this indifference, and they have been skillfully used in various works.

After the four people took their poses, Chen Pingsheng said again: "Everyone, be more natural and treat yourself as a welcome person!"

The Asada family looked at each other, and then suddenly Masashi shouted: "Welcome!"

"Warm welcome!" Liangzi started shouting with a loudspeaker.

“There are a lot of fish here!”

“The marbles here are so fun!”

"Click!" Chen Pingsheng pressed the shutter, then looked at the people who had not stopped with a smile and shouted: "The first shot is completed!"

"Oh yeah!"

The four people cheered loudly, as if they were not filming but on an outing, trying to get rid of all their bad moods.

"Next time we go to the car repair shop." Zhengzhi ran over and he had already made arrangements.

"Okay." Chen Pingsheng sat in the car with them, took out his mobile phone, and recorded the subjects he thought he could shoot.

"Heroes who save the world, plumbers, bosozoku..." Huang Liao came over to take a look and wondered: "Brother, are these the identities they want to photograph?"

"That's right." Chen Pingsheng nodded.

"Why doesn't it feel like a family photo anymore?" Huang Liao felt that plumbers and the like were understandable. What is a hero?Do you have to wear a leather holster to shoot like a special photo film?
"This is not a normal family photo." Chen Pingsheng laughed. He had already seen the potential of the Asada family. Whether it was their adaptability to shooting or their openness, he felt that he could challenge something more interesting and unexpected. thing.

"This is really funny." He showed Huang Liao his newly written identity, and Huang Liao almost spit out the water he just drank.

"Hahaha, brother, you are so creative."

She is now extremely curious about what this series will look like in the end.

"Teacher, have you thought of any other ideas?" Zhengzhi, who was driving, asked when he heard the laughter.

"I did come up with a few ideas. After today's shooting is completed, we will see how to implement them."

"Hi!" Zhengzhi looked forward to it sincerely.

At the car repair shop, after his father Arino Asada drove his van to the corresponding location, several people started a new round of dressing up.

Since the owner of this store knows the Asada family, it is not difficult to borrow clothes.

After the four people finished changing, the original mechanic also came behind Chen Pingsheng and watched them take pictures.

"Mr. Arino, stand at the front of the car and repair it." Chen Pingsheng gave instructions one by one.

"Miss Liangzi, stand next to your husband, lean a little further to the side, yes, and bow as if to send the guests away."

"Masashi, you lie on the ground and repair the car. Masamune, you put gas in the car, and then see off the guests with your mother."

After listening to his words, the four people performed their duties and stood in their own positions.

"Welcome next time!" Liangzi bowed slightly.

After the mother said these words, everyone immediately made corresponding gestures, cheering, cheering, repairing the car.

In order to show his seriousness, Asada Arino deliberately leaned out to make himself appear more professional.

"Crack!"

"very good!"

Chen Pingsheng once again completed the filming.

He thought it was really interesting, not boring at all, and every scene had a different feel.

This kind of family photo will surely be sought after by countless people.

If you just want to imitate, it's still a bit difficult.

After the car repair shop was completed, they went to a nearby telephone pole to complete a photo shoot.In the picture, the father is standing on the far left, wearing a yellow safety helmet, holding a drawing in his hand, making a guiding posture.

Next to him was his brother Masamune, carrying a bundle of wires and two red roadblocks.

On top of the telephone pole, Zhengzhi was climbing up. The various bulging bags around his waist were borrowed from real electricians.

Liangzi, the mother, stood under the telephone pole, holding the safety rope for her son.

"Crack!"

After everyone worked together to pretend to be repairing wires, Chen Pingsheng pressed the shutter.
