Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 46 One-time Photography Contract

Chen Pingsheng received a call from Feilin.

He has been busy these days photographing funerals, while also purchasing a new camera for himself.

A digital medium format camera from a Swiss manufacturer, its name translates to Feiming.It is a brand that Chen has never seen before. It specializes in square-style medium-format cameras, similar to the Braunica SQ-A and similar to the Hasselblad 907x series.This is a manufacturer that specializes in manufacturing cameras for photographers and has a very good reputation in the industry.

However, because the name is not very loud and the brand does not have much heritage, the price is much more beautiful.

Despite this, the price of 3 yuan plus the lens of [-] yuan still made Chen Pingsheng heartbroken.

He spent all his savings and borrowed money from his mother before he could barely get the camera.

The reason why I bought this camera is thanks to the help of Professor Li, who has been shooting more and more funerals.

Chen Pingsheng calculated that if he continued at this pace, he would soon be able to earn his first 10 yuan.

So he needs a camera that can help him produce films quickly instead of developing the film all the time. Not everyone likes the style of film.

And it’s troublesome to borrow a machine every time, so I might as well just do it in one step. Since I already plan to make a living in this industry, it’s normal to invest more.

But before Chen Pingsheng could get the camera, he received good news. Although the contract had not been negotiated, Fengcai Magazine still decided to use him.

It's just that this time the contract for the shoot will be a one-time deal.

Feilin did not fly to South China to find Chen Pingsheng. He received the message and contract text from the computer.

Chen Pingsheng looked at it carefully for two hours and found that this time the contract was much more reasonable than before.

First, this cooperation is a one-time one, with [-]/[-] copyright. Fengcai has the priority to use it and Chen Pingsheng is not allowed to profit from the copyright.However, if there are other uses, Fengcai will divide the account according to the copyright.

Regarding this, Chen Pingsheng communicated with Fengcai and confirmed that he could publish the photos in the "Photo Circle" after the magazine was published, and then agreed.

Second, Chen Pingsheng’s salary is calculated based on the price of a star photographer in the circle. The cost of this shooting is about 8000 after tax.Although it was not a first-rate price, it did not treat him badly.

Even for a photographer of Style magazine, more than 2 yuan a month is already pretty good.The price of a photo shoot is naturally not very high.

Chen Pingsheng had this price because he took advantage of a single cooperation.

Although shooting celebrities looks high-end and seems expensive, the photographer himself is still in a disadvantaged position and does not get any money.

In addition to these two most important points, there were also matters related to confidentiality agreements, which Chen Pingsheng signed after he felt there were no problems.

After finding a print shop to print it, he mailed it to Fengcai Magazine by express delivery.

The time set by both parties is October 10, and there is still time.Moreover, all the equipment for this shooting was prepared by Fengcai. If Chen Pingsheng has useful equipment, he can also use it.So he doesn't need to worry about lighting or anything like that.

After finishing everything, Chen Pingsheng sent another message to Wei Seya.

"Your free photos are available again."

After a while, Wei Seya replied: "Really? Is it done?"

"Well, this time it's a one-time contract."

"Congratulations!" Wei Seya was eating a monotonous salad while looking at the messages on her phone. She secretly thought about what kind of stimulation Sister Feilin had received, and how did she change her gender?Such a good condition was given directly without any bargaining, unlike her.

Thinking of this, she called Sister Feilin.

Then she learned from Sister Feilin that Qin Yi lost her temper and that Chen Pingsheng was appointed.

"My employees were scolded and cried, and they said that if the photographer was not Chen Pingsheng, they would not shoot. Hey, if I had known earlier, I should have talked to Chen Pingsheng first." Sister Feilin also felt helpless when she said this. She acted vigorously and resolutely I was used to it and knew the price of a photographer, so I couldn't help but want more after knowing that Chen Pingsheng was still a student.Unexpectedly, he was hit with a brick wall. He was completely unmoved by such a good contract. He seemed to have determined that his value far exceeded the price given by the contract.

Now in order for Qin Yi to accept the filming, she can only pinch her nose and use him.

But even if it was a one-time cooperation, Feilin planned not to use him again in the future.After all, facing such an incompetent guy, she felt that the leadership she was proud of was no longer useful.

After Wei Seya knew the whole story, she couldn't help but look at Chen Pingsheng with admiration.Not everyone can resist temptation, especially given an opportunity like this.

But none of them expected that behind Chen Pingsheng's determination was actually the consciousness of an experienced veteran.

The day after the contract is signed.

"Sir, this is your camera, please accept it." A young man in black overalls opened the box and showed Chen Pingsheng his new camera.

Chen Pingsheng picked up the camera and it felt heavy. The square body was made of black patent leather and looked high-end and luxurious.The tail is slightly curved, with a screen and buttons embedded inside.

You can see the huge CMOS at the lens, which is full of pure beauty under the reflection of the light.

Chen Pingsheng asked the staff to put the lens on and played with it for a while. He felt that he was very motivated to shoot at this time and wanted to rush to the street immediately to take some street photography.

"No problem, just put it up." Chen Pingsheng put down the camera with satisfaction. He also equipped it with many accessories, such as a circular viewfinder and a camera-top flash.

He was going to take this camera to take pictures of Qin Yi.

Of course, you also have to carry a film machine, but this time you have to replace it with black and white film.Because he planned to refer to Xiao Quan's works.

Carrying the box, Chen Pingsheng came to the side of the road and was about to take a taxi when he suddenly received a message from Lin Zishan.

"Teacher Chen, are you free tomorrow?"

"What's wrong?" Chen Pingsheng took a taxi while typing with one hand.

"The club I'm in is going to hold a small exhibition, and I want to invite some photographers from the film industry to come and have a look and give lectures."

"Tell me tomorrow? I don't have..." Chen Pingsheng was not easy to teach and was about to refuse.

However, Lin Zishan's reply interrupted him: "I would like to ask you to help me palm my eyes to see if the photographer hired by the club is good enough."

"Uh, look at the photographer?" Chen Pingsheng asked doubtfully.

"Yes, these people are all hired with money, and they are a mixed bag. If the level is not up to par, isn't it a waste!"

Chen Pingsheng looked at the camera in his hand and typed: "Actually, as long as I have money, I can't do it..."

Lin Zishan sent a surprised dog expression: "Teacher Chen, it would be great if you are willing to come out!"

"There is no talk of leaving the mountain..."

"Our club can't afford to pay too much. The total budget is only [-]. How about giving you [-]."

Chen Pingsheng looked at this number and fell into deep thought. Is it so easy to make money?

Should I say that I can already rely on the "shadow circle" to make a living?

Or are these college students who are interested in photography not short of money?
　The next two updates will be at noon and evening.
