Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 274 Reshaping Childhood (Colorful)
Under the dilapidated statue of Jesus, Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao placed all the dummies in order.

Then back to the camera, through the camera, you can see several dummy boys standing under the statue of Jesus in the upper right corner. Looking to the left, there are more dummy children standing next to it, and in the lower left corner of the screen, there are There is an exquisite dummy priest wearing white clothes and blond hair.

It was as if they were praying together under the statue of Jesus on the weekend, and there was a sense of religious silence and beauty.

"Crack!"

As this photo ended, the sky gradually darkened.

There was no sun or moon visible in the sky at this time, and it took on a melancholy blue tone, with everything in sight being dark blue.

Chen Pingsheng and the others had already changed the scene and came to the hanging basket under the tree.

This is a brown hanging basket, hanging from the tree with a white string. There are two brown-haired dummy boys sitting in it. Around them are placed various flowers and bright Christmas decorations. ribbons.

In front of the hanging basket, Huang Liao placed several dummy boys on the ground and put them into cheering postures based on Chen Pingsheng's sketches.

Then she walked behind the hanging basket and waited for Chen Pingsheng's instructions.

"3, 2, 1, push!" Chen Pingsheng bent down and looked at the viewfinder. Upon hearing the sound, Huang Liao immediately pushed the hanging basket.

When the hanging basket entered the viewfinder, Chen Pingsheng immediately pressed the shutter.

"Crack!"

He never tired of hearing the crisp sound of the shutter. He looked at the playback and found that there was no problem.The hanging basket flew to just the right height, echoing the cheering dummy boys below.

"Great!" Huang Liao came over and took a look, feeling that this kind of photo was really novel.

Sometimes she really wants to open Chen Pingsheng's mind and see how he comes up with these creative and meaningful works.

The problem of running out of inspiration that I struggled with when shooting seemed to never occur with Chen Pingsheng.

"We're done, we'll continue tomorrow." Chen Pingsheng put away the tripod and put it into the car parked on the roadside.

The two people soon returned to Old Blue's villa.

"Back! Here, the roast chicken I just made!" Old Blue was busy in his apron, keeping everything in order.

He finally had the opportunity to show off his cooking skills to the two young people.

The three of them ate roast chicken, drank soup, and talked about tomorrow's shooting plan.

"Chen, what scenes are you going to shoot tomorrow?" Old Blue eats very slowly, which is also related to his increasingly sparse teeth.

"I'm going to take some pictures inside the train and in the yard tomorrow," Chen Pingsheng replied.

The train he refers to refers to the old-fashioned train parked next to the town.It was abandoned over the years and has now been turned into a restaurant.

"What do you need me to do?" Old Blue seemed very active. He seemed to want to leave his own mark on this work, rather than just being a provider.

"Nothing, Old Blue, just help us prepare our clothes."

"No problem. I see that you need a lot of clothes, which are quite miscellaneous. I went to the town today and have already rented them from those families."

Old Blue still has some friends and acquaintances in the town.

"That's good."

After making sure that the dummy's clothes were ready, several people finished their meal and went back to the room to wash up and go to bed, recharging their energy for a new day of shooting.

The next day, by the train window.

Huang Liao placed two dummies with yellow hair and brown skin on the chair, stacked them up, and put the arms of the latter dummy around the former one.

It looks exactly like a common fight between brothers.

The early morning sunlight shines on them through the glass, making the interior of the red train look warm.

Next to the dummy brother is a wooden suitcase with water and dolls on it.

Everything is exactly the same as the fragments from the trip.

"Click!" Another photo was taken.

All the photos in this album are a combination of old Blue's memories of childhood moments and things he once did.

As well as some scenes where Chen Pingsheng himself let his imagination run wild.

After shooting the train, the two returned to the yard, stood on the yellow hillside, and placed the two most exquisitely crafted dummies.Eco and Huck.

They held flowers in their hands and wore contrasting red and blue clothes.

Different from the rough faces of other dummies, these two dummies are completely made according to the feeling of simulation, whether it is their hair, unrelated things, or even their eyes.

To be honest, there's even an uncanny valley effect if you watch it for a long time.

What's even more amazing is that Eco's hair can be combed into different hairstyles. At this time, his hair was combed up by Huang Polygonum, making him look a bit unruly.

After taking this one, the next one becomes more difficult.

This is a follow-up to yesterday’s plane photo. A group of dummy children surrounded a bare dead tree. Some of them hung their arms on the branches and leaned on them.

Some reached up and tried to take down the plane.

Some lay in abandoned iron boats and played like seesaws.

As for the wooden plane, it was lying quietly on the dead tree, as if it crashed during the flight and fell on it.

Chen Pingsheng looked at the viewfinder. The sky was just right. Under the blue sky were endless mountains, and up close were brown soil full of weeds.

He liked the color combination, so he lowered the lens slightly and pressed the shutter.

Immediately following this one is a photo of a plane on a tree branch being picked off by a dummy boy.

Chen Pingsheng stood on the shelf, level with the tree branches, and could see the smiling dummy boy behind the yellow wooden plane.

The lines in the whole picture are very complicated, including the neat lines of airplanes and the messy lines of branches, but everything becomes harmonious in front of the dummy boy.

Chen Pingsheng placed him in the center of the picture and took the photo.

The airplane series was successfully completed, and the next picture was of a swing. In order to make the whole picture more interesting, Chen Pingsheng did not choose a fixed lens, but came to the opposite side of the swing with the camera in hand.

Huang Liao followed his idea and placed all the dummies among the weeds not far away.

In the weeds that are almost waist high, dummy boys wearing different clothes are chatting, looking into the distance, or standing further away calling everyone.

Behind the swing stood a dummy boy with his sleeves rolled up. As the swing flew towards Chen Pingsheng's camera, he looked like he was the one pushing the swing.

"Crack!"

Chen Pingsheng's camera was slightly tilted to capture this scene, which also broke the horizontal and vertical composition, making it look more dynamic.

Today's shooting went smoothly, but it quickly entered hard mode.

Because in future photos, more dummies will appear.

"There are so many!" Huang Liao came to the grass with a dummy in one hand. After putting it down, she went back to the car to get a new dummy.

Chen Pingsheng did the same, holding the dummy back and forth and placing it on the grass.

Old Blue, who drove the dummies over, stood on the grass and stood them up one by one.After placing about 20 dummies, Chen Pingsheng began to adjust the details of the dummies, such as asking some of the dummies to raise their hands, such as asking some of the dummies to shout.

What this scene imitates is separation.

Old Blue's car just came in handy. Two dummies sat in the bucket behind the car, while a dummy boy ran behind to catch up.

As for the other dummies, they all appear in the background as the background.

Just setting up these dummies took a lot of effort from Chen Pingsheng and others, and it took them an hour to get them ready.

While the sun was still in the sky and the blue color had not faded, he quickly raised his camera and captured the scene.
-
In the evening, Chen Pingsheng, who sent the dummies back to the villa, took Huang Liao to pick up a dummy boy with disheveled hair and went to the largest window in the room.

"What are we going to shoot here?" Huang Liao was a little confused, as if he hadn't seen this one in his previous sketches.

Chen Pingsheng smiled mysteriously: "I want to shoot something scary."

"Huh?" Huang Liao looked at the dim lights and the dark blue sky outside, then looked at the dummy in his hand, and suddenly shuddered.

"This really fits the scene in a horror movie." She sighed.

Living in Lao Bulu's house these days, she often suffered minor frights, because Lao Bulu was very strange.

He often holds his dummy friends and chats, which may be a habit he developed since childhood.

He would also dismantle his dummy friends into parts and then take care of them carefully. It was like stroking the hand of a lover, which made people get goosebumps.

Even though Huang Liao knew that Old Blue was just eccentric because of his love for dummies.

But sometimes I still can't help but think wildly and combine it with some foreign thrillers to cause a second harm to myself.

But fortunately, what Chen Pingsheng called scary was not actually the kind of thing with blood flying everywhere. He just placed the dummy boy in front of the window, and then put his hand on the edge of the window. It looked like the dummy opened by itself. Like a window.

Then Chen Pingsheng set up a high tripod and looked down from above to shoot. The faint blue outside and the warm yellow inside formed a color impact in the lens, while the dummy boy in white clothes looked back towards the room with a smile. As if telling others to come over and look at the scenery outside the window.

"Crack!"

After this photo was taken, the sky became dark.

But even when it gets dark, you can still take pictures.

After eating, Chen Pingsheng and Huang Liao came to the hillside with two dummies, one big and one small.

In addition, they also carried an astronomical telescope.

Although this thing is damaged and cannot be viewed, it can at least play a decorative role.

The sky is extremely dark today and the moon is extremely round.

It feels exactly like what Chen Pingsheng wants.

So when he reached the top of the hill, he arranged the dummies one by one so that the older and taller ones were behind the telescope.Let the smaller dummy stand beside him with his hands raised, as if the younger brother is begging his older brother to take a look at him.

When Chen Pingsheng saw this, he also remembered his own childhood. He also played the role of a little boy.

The relationship between brothers is always mainly about fighting, and if the age difference is relatively large, it becomes normal for one party to bully the other.

Recalling the way he jumped high and begged his cousin, he also missed the old days a little.

"The lights have been set up." Suddenly Huang Liao came over, interrupting his memories.

Chen Pingsheng nodded and came to the camera.

In the camera lens, everything was dark, with only a little light illuminating the two children and the astronomical telescope.

This looks like an imagination, like a scene on some stage.

Only the farthest moon represents that this is a real picture, not an unfounded fantasy located in some desolate place.

"Crack!"

Chen Pingsheng finished filming and packed up the props and dummies with Huang Liao.

"It will take a long time to shoot this album." Huang Liao suddenly asked.

Chen Pingsheng thought for a moment and said, "According to the current progress, it will take at least half a month to film."

"The Chinese New Year will be here after we finish filming." Huang Liao looked at the moon in the sky, as if the hazy moonlight aroused some sad emotions in her.

Chen Pingsheng suddenly realized that the time was approaching February unknowingly.

"Indeed." He nodded: "How does your family usually spend the Chinese New Year?"

"Our home?" Huang Liao curled her lips: "It's very boring. I meet a lot of relatives, and many parents' partners come to visit. Some people will come with their children, and I have to receive them and chat."

"Then your parents are not allowed to let you get to know each other and go on a blind date."

"You're right." Huang Liao looked helpless: "I hate this kind of time the most, but my parents won't force me to do anything, they will just let me know a few more friends."

"I don't have this kind of worry." After Chen Pingsheng finished speaking, he said, "My parents are not in a hurry at all."

"It seems so. I've never heard you talk about finding a partner."

"There's no rush. I'll finish filming the album first. Otherwise, I'll go out several times a month and won't be able to stay at home for long in a year. It's not suitable for dating either."

"Yes."

The two of them chatted and laughed, put their things in the car, and then drove back to Old Blue's villa.

The blackness of the sky also gradually faded as the clock went by, slowly changing from orange back to blue.

A new day of shooting for Chen Pingsheng and his wife started from the height of the mountain.

This is a scene that was previously selected as suitable for shooting. Among the rocks, there is a dark green pool, which feels similar to a hot spring.

They placed the dummies one up and one down along the edge of the pool.

Then Chen Pingsheng came to a corner of the pool and observed everything through the lens.

I saw two dummies lying in the pool, simulating a bath, and the other two dummies sitting on the rocks, looking in different directions.

There is also a dummy lying on a stone, looking at the distant scenery, seeming to relax his mind.

This scene is like a group of children exploring the mountains and forests, full of childlike interest and unknowns.

The angle of their shooting also brought in the distant mountain scenery, highlighting the grandeur of this place.

After the filming, Chen Pingsheng was just about to pack his things when he suddenly heard Huang Liao's exclamation.

"What's wrong?" He thought something had happened and came to her side quickly.

But I found her pointing in the distance and said, "Look, there is a patch of lavender there!"

Chen Pingsheng turned his head, and sure enough, there was a purple ocean there, with the shadow of lavender all over the mountains and plains.

"Wow, I didn't expect an unexpected bonus!"
