Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 270 Fei Ming’s phone call

After completing the filming of Mr. Ryuichi Sakamoto, Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao returned to China.

This is the first time they have returned to a place they are familiar with since participating in the qualifying competition.Sitting in the studio, Huang Liao felt that everything she had experienced before was as elusive as a dream.

"Let's take a rest these days." It was the first time in Chen Ping's life that he had experienced such a long cross-country trip, and he felt a little tired, so he went home directly after making arrangements for Huang Liao.

After arriving home, he immediately came to the window sill and looked up at the bird's nest above.

What was unexpected was that several cubs were born in the nest, with their mouths open and waiting for feeding!

"Okay, it's pretty fast." Chen Pingsheng smiled and immediately relaxed.

And on the third day when he was resting at home, he suddenly saw Boss Lin's WeChat Moments information.

"Simu, Uncle Lin is hospitalized again?" Although it has been a long time since Boss Lin was last hospitalized, Chen Pingsheng still remembers it fresh because it was the moment when he was just reborn.

"Yes! My dad is so miserable. This time he injured his cervical spine." Lin Zishan replied, looking a little helpless.

"Where Uncle Lin is hospitalized, I'll go and see..."

South China First Hospital, on the third floor of the inpatient department, Chen Pingsheng came to the door of the ward carrying a box of milk and a box of eight-treasure porridge.

For hospitalized patients, sometimes they hate eating troublesome foods due to physical inconvenience or discomfort.

For example, some fruits need to be washed or peeled.

At least this is the case for Chen Pingsheng himself, because the shelf life of fruit is very short, and the hospital does not have a refrigerator to help, so if you don't eat it, the fruit will spoil quickly.

But if you eat it, you need to handle it and clean it.

Unless someone is always with you to help the patient do this.

Therefore, what Chen Pingsheng buys are all ready-to-eat and throw-away foods, focusing on convenience and speed.

As for those who sent flower baskets, it was even more helpless. The patients could not eat or drink, and they could not keep displaying them to take up space. To be honest, there was no other way but to throw them away.

You can’t put these flower baskets at home that have no artistic value or sense of design.

"Squeak."

"Uncle Lin!" These thoughts flashed through Chen Pingsheng's mind, and then he opened the door and walked into the ward.

Boss Lin was lying on the bed at this time, with Lin Zishan sitting next to her. She was wearing a white skirt and a sweater jacket. Her hair was tied up casually, and her makeup looked very light. She probably only had a few strokes of paint.

"Simu." The two people greeted each other, and Chen Pingsheng put the things in his hands on the ground next to the hospital bed.

"Come here, Xiao Chen. What else can you bring?" Boss Lin said with a smile.

Chen Pingsheng was able to visit him, which made him feel very proud, and his voice was louder than usual.

He just thought about getting up and greeting him, but with this force, he couldn't help but groaned: "Ah... Siha..."

"Dad, please stop moving." Lin Zishan advised, then came to the end of the bed and shook the bed.

"Sigh." Boss Lin sighed, feeling uncomfortable everywhere in his body, as if his body was useless.

"Uncle Lin, please stop moving." Chen Pingsheng said with a smile, then sat next to Lin Zishan and asked, "Uncle Lin, what is going on?"

Lin Zishan glanced at his father and whispered: "Spinal fractures, anal fistulas and hemorrhoids."

"Uh..." Chen Pingsheng looked at Boss Lin who was sighing and felt that he should not ask for specific details.

Just by hearing the name of this disease, you can tell how much he suffered, and he suffered in more than one place.

"The doctor said how long it will take to get better." Chen Pingsheng looked behind him. There were three beds in this ward, and patients were also lying on the other two.

"We have already completed the surgery. The spine will only need to be hospitalized for about a week, but anal fistula will require hospitalization for at least half a month." Lin Zishan suddenly couldn't help laughing when he said this: "This is the first time I have seen my dad scream so miserable. "

Boss Lin raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Your father, I am not Guan Yu. I can scrape bones and heal wounds without changing my face. After this operation, it really hurts so much, it's like a fire stick pressed against my butt." It’s the same inside.”

As he said this, he also persuaded Chen Pingsheng: "Xiao Chen, you must remember not to eat too much spicy food. No, just don't eat it! Otherwise, if you really get sick, you will suffer a lot."

"Nowadays, nine out of ten young people have hemorrhoids. The doctor told me that it's just a matter of severity, so don't ignore it."

"I understand, Uncle Lin." Chen Pingsheng nodded.

He did have to be careful. For a photographer, lying in bed for a month and even having difficulty moving was the most uncomfortable illness.

A few people chatted for a while, and then it was time to eat at noon.

Lin Zishan ordered a plate of three-fresh dumplings and a few dishes of cold dishes for Boss Lin. After Boss Lin finished eating and cleaned up, they went out to eat at Boss Lin's urging.

Afterwards, the two of them found a shop in front of the hospital and ordered a few dishes.

Of course, due to Boss Lin's advice, they didn't order a spicy dish.

While waiting for the food, Chen Pingsheng suddenly noticed that Lin Zishan's hair seemed to have been cut a lot. When he saw her before, she always had long hair, but now her hair only reached her shoulders.

"Simu, have you changed your hairstyle?"

"Yes, it was too troublesome to take care of long hair before." Lin Zishan picked up the cup and drank some water, smiling brightly.

"I see that your recent photos have become more and more of your own style." Chen Pingsheng has been paying attention to her photo circle, and Lin Zishan is now a veritable Internet celebrity photography blogger.

Just like the path Chen Pingsheng mentioned before, she has fully realized it.

Even some top stars have found her for some photo shoots.

This is undoubtedly a very enviable thing.

Keep doing what you like and get everything you want. This is the most perfect life.

But Lin Zishan obviously has his own troubles.

"Actually, after taking pictures of celebrities, I have become a little disillusioned. I don't really want to accept any more orders from celebrities." Lin Zishan said with a hint of complaint in his tone: "Their requirements are really many and very detailed. From face shape to lighting, Something as small as a pimple on your face or the color of your makeup.”

"Did you know? Every time they send revision comments, it's like a short essay of 1 words, 2, 3, 4, 5, [-], all listed." Lin Zishan told Chen Pingsheng in detail about his experience .

"I feel like a rubbish Party B who is being pushed so hard by Party A. Every time I edit a photo, I have to start from scratch. The scariest thing is that I even have to change the shape of her hands." Lin Zishan was speechless, saying that she was really Only if Lard is blinded can he take on this kind of job.

"Hahahaha, that's outrageous." Chen Pingsheng had experienced this kind of moment before, but it happened in his previous life, so it was extremely distant to him.

Listening to Lin Zishan complain now also brought back some memories of his past. "And it's not just a celebrity who does it, it's basically their team that does it." Lin Zishan looked very tired: "So I think I will still accept such orders in the future. It's really scary."

"Then what are you going to do next?" Chen Pingsheng suddenly asked a key question.

He believed that Lin Zishan could understand what he meant, because now that Boss Lin was hospitalized, they faced a problem.

That's what West Suburban Studios should do.

"My dad's store is now being looked after by an uncle with whom I have a good relationship, but he can only watch it for a few days." Lin Zishan is also a little worried. Although she is willing to inherit the store, it is not now.

She hasn't been to many places yet, and her photography hasn't reached the level she wants, so naturally she doesn't want to give up this prosperous career so easily.

"That's really difficult." Chen Pingsheng nodded.

"But with my dad's current condition, he really can't continue to look after the store." Lin Zishan sighed: "So I plan to let him go home to rest after he is discharged from the hospital."

"Uncle Lin probably won't agree." Chen Pingsheng felt that with Boss Lin's restless character, he would definitely not want to go home to retire.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Lin Zishan sighed again.

"I think even letting Uncle Lin stay in the store to cash out is better than letting him rest at home." Chen Pingsheng made a suggestion: "People can't be idle, especially older people. It's easy for them to have random thoughts when they are idle. , and easily deceived.”

"Cheated?" Lin Zishan was a little confused.

"Yes, those electronic fraud gangs specialize in defrauding middle-aged and elderly people. At the morning market, they use a loudspeaker every day to shout about making money with digital currency and making money with blockchain. Many elderly people believe it." Chen Pingsheng said that he was in the Northeast My experience: "They spent hundreds of dollars to buy some coins, and talked about the future value increase every day, but in the end they just ran away."

"I just tried to persuade them and they still don't believe me. The police have a headache."

"Hahaha, it's true." Lin Zishan had obviously never seen such a thing, and no one in her family had ever been deceived.

But Chen Pingsheng saw with his own eyes how those who had been deceived into bankruptcy sat in front of the police station and cried.

Most of the people who were defrauded were elderly people with no Internet experience. They just heard the words state shareholding or state endorsement, and they gave their money to the scammers without any doubt.

Young people would naturally not be fooled by such a low-level scam, but the era that the elderly have experienced has always told them to trust the government, so those who use the name of the government are all good people in their eyes.

What Chen Pingsheng said was just the most common liar. After all, those who can deceive people in the market are not high-end gangs.

There are many teams that specialize in defrauding wealthy people online. Some teams even make their own apps, give away mobile phones, and invite retired leaders to hold meetings.

If you pay enough money, you will also be invited to travel to overseas headquarters.

Even those who do business and have seen the world find it difficult to guard against this kind of scammer, because everything is so realistic.

It really makes people think that this is not a scam, but an emerging industry that can make huge profits.

Just like Bitcoin, it can create countless millions and billionaires.

That's why Chen Pingsheng advised Lin Zishan not to underestimate these scammers. They are experts in how to deceive middle-aged and elderly people.

Hearing what Chen Pingsheng said, Lin Zishan thought about it for a while and agreed: "It's true that my dad doesn't have time to spare. If he stays at home, he might actually come up with something else. It's better to let him work in the store. a little better."

Chen Pingsheng nodded, and then heard Lin Zishan say: "In that case, let me hire a few more employees."

Her mind suddenly opened up. She had been limited to the idea of ​​​​a family workshop before, so she did not consider finding other clerks. But now that Boss Lin can't do specific things, it would be better to find a few clerks and let him train them. The way.

"One for cashiering and one for developing film." Lin Zishan clapped his fingers and said, "Just let my dad be a photographer. There should be no problem."

"This will free you up." Chen Pingsheng said with a smile.

"That's right, I finally don't have to be confined to the store." Lin Zishan suddenly let go of his worries and smiled more on his face.

At this time, the dishes are also served.

After eating, the two of them returned to the ward and discussed their decision with Boss Lin.

When Boss Lin heard that his daughter initially wanted him to go home and rest, he immediately shook his head: "I will never stay at home, I have to be in the store."

"Don't worry, Dad, I'm looking for two employees. Your task is to train them." Lin Zishan held his hand.

"That's more or less the same, but listen to me, when looking for employees, you must find experienced ones, especially when it comes to developing film..."

Chen Pingsheng watched the two people seriously discussing the future of Xijiao Studio, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

At this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated.

Chen Pingsheng looked at the number and saw that it was Lauren, the head of Feiming's sales department.

Why did he call me?
Chen Pingsheng came to the corridor and answered the phone.

"Hey! Chen!" Lauren's voice didn't sound as high-spirited as before.

"Hey Lauren, what's up?"

"That's right, Chen." Lauren considered her words and said, "We would like to invite you to come to Feiming's engineering department."

"What do you mean?" Chen Pingsheng was a little confused.

"Well, we want to design a new model that requires you and other photographers to participate. We want to find your pain points."

Hearing Lauren's words, Chen Pingsheng suddenly thought of their new model and the extremely sluggish sales of the Big Mac, and he immediately understood what they meant.

"So, Lauren, it's because of that monster?"

"Uh... Okay, that's right, Chen. I didn't care about your warning at that time. Damn it." Lauren's tone was very annoyed. This was not only his problem, but also the problem of Feiming's entire company.

If they hadn't insisted on developing this monster, the capital chain would not have been almost broken.

Although they are barely surviving now, if the next machine cannot arouse the enthusiasm of the market, then they will drink from the northwest wind.

In other words, some people believe that Feiming will definitely be acquired by other camera companies.

So in order to save themselves, they decided to develop new models as soon as possible and then sell them to save the current decline.

After Chen Pingsheng heard what he said, he agreed: "Okay, no problem, we'll see you in France."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the window across the corridor, where the sun was shining.

"It's really a sinking boat."
