Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 72 System Settlement Rewards

At four o'clock in the morning, Chen Pingsheng finally returned home.

The elevator that used to feel very fast now seemed to him as slow as climbing up the Tower of Babel, and the short corridor made him feel how it could be so long.

He seemed to be under the spell of time, and his perception of every second slowed down a hundred times.

After holding on for 22 hours, he really couldn't hold on anymore. From the excitement at the beginning to the mechanical numbness later, Chen Pingsheng felt that if he didn't stop, he would die suddenly on the street.

As soon as he got home, he collapsed on the bed without taking off his clothes because he felt tired even if he moved his fingers.

In less than five seconds, his consciousness became drowsy and he fell into a sweet sleep.

That night, he snored loudly.

He didn't get out of bed until four o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

Even after supplementing his sleep, Chen Pingsheng still felt as if his body was falling apart, tired and sleepy.

Logically speaking, for a young man of his age, staying up late is not a very tiring thing.In high school and college, Chen Pingsheng was also a person who often stayed up all night in Internet cafes.

But in fact, most of them sit in front of the computer all night, without much exercise, and at the same time there are entertainment activities to stimulate the spirit.

But shooting is not like this. I keep walking on the street with a heavy camera, looking for angles to shoot, and I am highly concentrated.This is a very tiring practice.

Very few photographers do this.

If Chen Pingsheng hadn't wanted to waste this Master Experience Ticket, he wouldn't have worked so hard.

But fortunately, the final result was good. Chen Pingsheng successfully captured the feeling he wanted and captured that surreal decisive moment.

Not long after he got up from the bed, Chen Pingsheng took the camera and began to sift through the photos one by one.

"This one is awesome, keep it. This one is almost, this one is okay, there is something wrong with the angle." He mumbled about his impressions of the photo.

By the time he woke up completely and got out of bed, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.

He looked at the system interface and saw that settlement hadn't started yet, probably because he hadn't selected a photo and graded it yet.

Chen Pingsheng wanted to know what the system would reward him as soon as possible, so without saying anything, he made a bowl of noodles and started working on the computer.

Speaking of which, he has been with the computer every day since he came back. If you don't count fitness and shooting, he has never even gone out of the house. He can be said to be a complete homebody.

Three hours passed in a flash, and a magpie stopped on a branch outside the window. It shook its head and looked at Chen Pingsheng in the living room, as if wondering whether the messy hair on this guy's head was the nest of another of the same kind.

"Done!" Chen Pingsheng hit Enter and began to export photos from the software. This time, a total of 29 photos were produced, all of which he felt were very representative and had breakthroughs in composition and color.

Although the number was not large, Chen Pingsheng felt that these 24 hours were not in vain. The most important thing was that he learned the master's shooting ideas.

At the same time, the system's prompt sounded in due course.

"The master experience coupon has been used, and the photographer has completed the photo. The scoring has begun. This scoring will be based on photography style, composition, color and other aspects."

When Chen Pingsheng heard this, the system paused for a moment, and then continued.

"Photography style: 9 points (out of 10 points). Surreal expression beyond ordinary people's imagination is the most important cornerstone of Bresson's photos."

"Photography composition: 8 points (out of 10 points), capturing precise geometric beauty, which is Cartier-Bresson's aesthetic for photos."

"Photography color: 7 points (out of 10 points). The black and white photography used by Cartier-Bresson does not focus on color, but emphasizes the object being photographed. The photographer used color, but still captured the key point."

"Content of expression: 8.5 points (out of 10 points). The decisive moment is just the appearance of Bresson's work. Its core is to express the emotion of the subject within a fraction of a second and the beauty of the picture form."

"Master Experience Ticket Summary: The photographer captured the essence of Bresson and completed an outstanding work."

"System reward: Photographic inspiration*3, Photographic vision*3."

"Name: Chen Pingsheng"

"Photography Technique: 31" "Photography Inspiration: 20"

"Photography field of view: 21"

At this time, Chen Pingsheng could already see that his attributes had increased again. Compared with when he first got the system, it was already a huge change.

I have to say that with a system, my journey as a photographer will be much smoother.

If I want to shoot other difficult works in the future, I will obviously be able to do it with ease.

Thinking like this, the system suddenly said another sentence.

"My interest has never been in photography itself, but in the possibility it presents - by forgetting oneself - to record the emotions of the subject within a fraction of a second and the formal beauty of the picture. In other words In other words, it is the beauty of the geometric structure evoked by the picture - Cartier-Bresson's "The Eye of Thought""

Although Chen Pingsheng has seen many photography collections, the specific words have already blurred his impression.What the system said at this time was exactly what he had never seen before, Bresson's autobiography.

From this passage, we can see that the so-called decisive moment is not actually Bresson’s own definition.

Rather, it is the audience’s established impression of his works.

The term decisive moment comes from a passage in Cardinal Leitz's Memoirs.

"Everything in the world has its decisive moment, and a wise king can know and seize this moment."

The world replaced the Mingjun in the words with Cartier-Bresson, and this statement has always affected later generations' interpretation of him.

Chen Pingsheng pondered this sentence in his mind and felt that his understanding of Bresson had deepened.

He transferred the photo to his mobile phone and while he was admiring it, he suddenly received a WeChat message from Yu Xiang.

"The magazine will start printing and publishing tomorrow!" He sent the good news to Chen Pingsheng.

"Okay, then where are my photos?" For magazines, layout is very important. In addition to the cover, the first few pages are the best choices and are also battlegrounds for military strategists. Chen Pingsheng is also very curious about his own Where the photos will be placed.

"Guess?" Yu Xiang gave it a try.

"It should be after the interview." Chen Pingsheng casually guessed the answer.

But the bad news is that he was wrong.

The good news is that his photo occupies a better spot.

"Your photo is on the second page of the magazine!" Yu Xiang gave him a surprise.

Chen Pingsheng raised his eyebrows and was a little happy. This meant that his photos were recognized by Fengcai. There was no doubt that this would be a positive help to his future career.

"I'll send you a copy tomorrow."

"Okay, but do many people read magazines now?" With the popularity of online media, paper media seems to have lost its voice.

"We also have e-magazines, which are all membership-based now. Those who can buy the magazines are entrepreneurs, ladies and socialites. The crowd has not changed from before." Yu Xiang explained to Chen Pingsheng.

Chen Pingsheng nodded and understood.

No matter how convenient the Internet is, without a physical carrier, it will still feel too cheap.

Therefore, those real major consumers will still choose to subscribe to paper magazines to show their identity.

No matter how fair and equal it is, people will always find the next way to compare.

This is the weakness of human nature.

　A thousand collections, another step forward, although slower than others.But I have always believed that it’s not too late to have a good meal, don’t be in a hurry, just take your time.
