Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 285 "Asada Family" is published

After Song Qing landed from the plane, he went straight to his destination, a hotel where a new photographer lived.

For him, this is not just a job, but the realization of his dream.

In his first few years out of society, he also hoped to support himself through photography and become a professional photographer.

Unfortunately, although he claims to have excellent technology, the market does not seem to recognize it, and he did not receive any response after competing with others at several exhibitions.

Later, in order to make a living, he had no choice but to work in a group and start shooting documentaries.

Until he became a documentary director through his own efforts, the distance between him and his dream of photography has become the front and back of the mirror, unable to reach it.

But to be honest, in his opinion, documentary is also a photographic art, a continuous photographic art, and he can show the kind of beauty he wants through the lens.

But no matter how he said it, he still couldn't hide his excitement when facing Chen Pingsheng.

This is currently the youngest photographer in China, who has won the most awards, has the highest album sales, is famous all over the world, and now also has the title of having the highest auction price for a single work.

This was like an untouchable dream to him.

So when the two met, Song Qing did not rush to say those polite words, but sincerely took out a copy of "The Decisive Moment" and asked Chen Pingsheng to sign it for him.

Chen Pingsheng smiled, signed his name with a marker, and then asked, "Do you also like this photo album?"

"That's right, Teacher Chen." Song Qing put the album into his backpack and said, "I usually look through this album because I think it can help me a lot in composition skills, and I will also use it in documentaries. idea.”

This is the true classic theory that can be spread in similar industries.

Since a single photo can have a decisive moment, shouldn't film documentaries have their own decisive fragments?

Of course, Song Qing doesn't think there is any problem. One method can solve all problems.

In many cases, making analogies can lead to far greater improvements than trying to figure things out.

So when the documentary channel said it would shoot some documentaries about masters in various industries, Song Qing was the first to nominate Chen Pingsheng.

"As long as it can help, then this photo album will not be in vain." Chen Pingsheng and he were sitting in the hotel's living room, while Huang Liao was busy doing other things on the computer.

"Well, Teacher Chen, let me briefly explain the purpose of this documentary." Song Qing paused for a moment and said, "This time, we actually want to follow you to film the difficulties you encountered during the creative process, and how to solve them. A way to let everyone know more about your personality and shooting style.”

"And I think that as the leading art photographer in China, you must have your own ideas about photography, and I think you can show it in the lens."

"Don't say I'm second to none." Chen Pingsheng waved his hand: "I'm just more diligent and think more than others."

"Then you agree to the filming?" Song Qing asked tentatively.

"Okay, you can shoot, but next I will..." Chen Pingsheng hesitated.

"It's okay. If you have any concerns, you can just tell us. If it involves some special creative methods and techniques, we can avoid them." Song Qing felt that Chen Pingsheng could shoot so many albums a year, so he must have his own special techniques, so Appropriate avoidance is normal.

Unexpectedly, Chen Pingsheng shook his head: "No, I don't have any special creative skills. At most, I am better prepared. What I mean is that my next work will travel to several countries in a row, and the schedule is quite tight. In this state, your crew no problem?"

"How tight is it?" Song Qing's heart suddenly suddenly felt, and he had already noticed the smell of burning funds.

"I'll probably go to four or five countries a month." Chen Pingsheng replied.

"Are they all overseas? Are there domestic ones?" Although the documentary crew is not as large as the film crew, there are always more than a dozen people. If they fly back and forth like this, then the air ticket money must be enough to make the producer cry for his father and mother.

"There are domestic ones and there are foreign ones."

"Then..." Song Qing thought for a while and suggested: "Then can we shoot domestically first, and then choose one or two overseas ones with a longer period of time to shoot with you?"

This is what he thinks is best.

"Okay, I can shoot domestically first." Chen Pingsheng nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with the producer. Could you please send us the itinerary?" Song Qing nodded, feeling temporarily reassured.

"By the way, what form do you plan to use to present this documentary? Tell me about creation." Chen Pingsheng doesn't want the final film to be far different from what he imagined. After all, editing is a very free art. , so he wants to know whether the director has enough control over the entire film to make a film that satisfies everyone.

When talking about creation, Song Qing immediately took out a stack of paper, which recorded all the ideas and creativity of the film.

While he was talking, Huang Liao on the side also completed the work at hand and listened to everything with his ears raised.
-
Chen Pingsheng finally determined the documentary shooting schedule with Song Qing. After he and Huang Liao completed the course at the flight base, they could start shooting the documentary.

The first stop is Guiyu, Guangdong.

"The heart is beating, it's love like fire." In the car, Huang Liao was scrolling through her cell phone beside her. This brainwashing song has now become popular on the entire platform, and even has a tendency to spread outwards.

To be honest, sometimes Chen Pingsheng can't figure out what era the world is in.

Obviously, the development of photography has lagged behind and stagnated, but other scientific research results and international politics have not changed much. Even the lives of some celebrities are different from others.

Chen Pingsheng sometimes wonders if there is a pair of invisible hands controlling everything.

He controls the development speed of this world. Due to some mistakes, certain developments in parallel time and space are lagging behind, so people are needed to help solve the problem.

But if you think about it this way, then Chen Pingsheng feels that this creator is really not very qualified, maybe he is a novice?
Regardless of the Creator's technical level, at least he was very kind to himself and didn't do too many outrageous things. He still wanted to thank the other party for showing mercy to him.

Huang Liao turned off her phone and found that her boss was humming a song for the first time, and asked curiously: "Boss, is there anything happy about you?"

"It's nothing. I just feel that time flies by so fast. Half a year has slipped away so quickly." Chen Pingsheng smiled. Time left no trace on his face. In Huang Liao's opinion, his boss has always been very good. Mature, too mature to look like a young man.

This is also the reason why she changed her name to calling him boss, because she felt that if she called him brother, she would seem to have grown a few years older.

"Yeah, but this time I think Gesai should give the boss a fair evaluation." Huang Liao pointed to the news on his phone. That was the biggest news that Gesai had recently heard.

Due to previous public opinion reasons, the organizing committee of the competition was deprived of the final decision-making power. Now the judgment of all works is handed over to the jury by Larlis Eriksson.

In addition, Mr. Erikson also invited more photography masters and professors from the photography department of the college to serve as the judging panel. This will be a judging organization with more than [-] people, in order to prevent the competition from falling into the same situation again.

It's fairer and therefore more suspenseful.

Chen Pingsheng didn't know if the props he used had an effect and killed all the organizing committee of the competition.But there is no doubt that these people did make some tricks in last year's competition and awarded all the awards that originally belonged to them to others.

"So I will continue to work hard this time." Chen Pingsheng didn't want to build bridges to pave the way for others, so in order to forever engrav his name in the photography world, he decided to shoot a variety of different themes and win all the awards. !
"By the way, I've already contacted the owner of the garbage disposal site." Huang Liao often didn't know what Chen Pingsheng was thinking. He always had to wait until the filming of his works to truly understand his intentions, but she I don’t feel embarrassed, because this kind of unknown is still quite novel.

"Okay, let me check the distance. We are almost there. Let's talk to Song Qing." The car behind Chen Pingsheng is the vehicle of the documentary crew, and they have already started to follow him.

"No problem." Huang Liao opened WeChat and talked to Song Qing.

Several cars headed south, heading straight to the garbage treatment plant in Guiyu.

At the same time, in bookstores around the world, a photo album titled "The Asada Family" was officially placed in the most conspicuous place on the display shelf.

"Chen Pingsheng actually has a new work." Kawamoto Masahide stood next to the exhibition stand, and next to him stood his short-haired boy, Kurita Naomisuke.

Kurita Naotsuke reached out and took down the photo album, then looked at the cover. It was a picture of the house number in front of Asada's house. It was straightforward and simple, making people curious about what kind of photo it was inside.

"Hey, look here, it wasn't taken by Chen Pingsheng himself, there was a collaborator." Kawamoto Masahide pointed to the author's name under the cover of the book.

Kurita took a quick look, and sure enough, it said Chen Pingsheng

"I didn't expect Chen Pingsheng to cooperate with our domestic photographers." Masahide Kawamoto raised his eyebrows: "How many books do you want to buy?"

Since watching "The Crow", both of them have become fans of Chen Pingsheng, and they will not miss every album.

"Buy two books, one for reading and one for collecting." Kurita Naokane picked up one and looked at its packaging.

After the auction price of Chen Pingsheng's works came out, it attracted the attention of everyone who cares about photography. Everyone was very optimistic about his works for a while, and the prices of signed albums in the second-hand market have also been rising.

Even the first "Crow" once again ushered in a small sales peak.

Kurita Naotsune planned to have Chen Pingsheng sign several photo albums when he came to Neon for a book signing in the future. Perhaps decades later, these photo albums could become family heirlooms.

Speaking of sales, Chen Pingsheng's top two works so far are "The Crow" and "The Decisive Moment".

As for No. 3, it is "In Memory of Vivian" that no one expected.

Although this work did not win any awards and did not receive much publicity, it has been very popular abroad, especially in Europe, and it is even hard to find a copy.

Abner had never thought that this photo album would be a big hit, so he was not well prepared. However, he did not expect that Europeans would fall in love with the unique fun presented in this photo album.

Even the princess of the British royal family has publicly praised this interesting photo album.

Maybe it’s because the images it captures have an undiminished childlike innocence, making the whole image both ironic and interesting.

It is precisely because of the addition of many photo albums that Chen Pingsheng is now known as the sales king in the photography industry and has become a fixed recognition for everyone.

As long as everyone knows that he releases his works, they will come to the bookstore.

It comes four or five times a year, and the bookstore owner becomes happy when he sees it.

After Kurita Naosuke and Kawamoto Masahide finished buying the photo album, they couldn't wait. After ordering two glasses of juice, they sat in the restaurant area, tore open one of the albums and enjoyed it together.

The first one brought them into the unique world of the Asada family.

"What is this? Are you welcome?" Kurita Naotsuke was a little amused, looking at the photo of a family of four happily squatting on the roadside, holding up the photo, as if they were welcoming all readers to their home.

Turning to the next page, I saw several people wearing mechanic's clothes, seemingly bidding farewell to customers.

"Hey, is their family a car repairman? They seem to be very harmonious." Kurita sighed.

Kawamoto Masahide nodded: "Indeed, but I don't think this is Chen Pingsheng's level."

"Yeah, I feel like the composition is unremarkable." Naosuke Kurita said and turned to the next page, and then both of them were stunned at the same time.

Because they saw the four members of the Asada family changed into the clothes of electrical maintenance workers and were climbing on the telephone poles, looking very professional.

The other photo on the right is a photo of several people wearing firefighting uniforms and looking into the distance together.

"Is that so!"

"It turned out to be so!"

The two of them exclaimed at the same time, realizing that this photo album of the Asada family captured a family of four appearing in different identities. Such lively and interesting photos were refreshing.

Never before has a family been able to work together so harmoniously and without any hindrance.

Looking at their serious expressions, it seems that they are really engaged in relevant occupations, without any perfunctoriness at all.

But comedy is like that, the more serious it is, the funnier it is.

In the beginning, they were just serious professions, but in the middle stage, Kurita Naotsuke and Kawamoto Masahide saw the ninjas from opposing camps, the lazy masked heroes, the salted fish family in the pool, and the team of thieves who picked locks.

The two of them laughed one after another, enjoying every novel and outrageous professional scene.

To be honest, they never thought that a family photo could be so lively.

So much so that after watching it, they were still immersed in it, discussing whether they should go home and discuss it with their families and give it a try.

But Naotsuke Kurita suddenly put the most difficult question to rest: "My father would not agree."

Masahide Kawamoto was silent for a long time: "My mother doesn't like taking pictures either."

"Maybe this is the meaning of this album. After all, we are not the Asada family." Kurita took a sip of the juice. It was obviously sweet pineapple, but at this moment, there was a bit of bitterness in his mouth.

There are thousands of families in the world, half of whom cannot communicate.

The Asada family is destined to become the envy of most people.
