Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 96: Daydreams about the future (seeking for further reading)

After finishing filming for Director Lin's crew, Chen Pingsheng, who flew back to South China, fell into a short period of busyness.

In the past three days, he photographed two funerals and took a group of family photos of an old couple.

According to their own words, their families have been next to each other since childhood, and they are a pair of childhood sweethearts.The man's family used to be landowners, so they encountered a series of social changes at that time, causing the man to disappear for seven years.

But the woman never got married, she just waited alone.

After the two reunited, they never separated again.

Although the two have no offspring, they have a good relationship.As life gets better and better, their lives become much more comfortable.I don't care if I have children.Compared with other people who were still considering raising children for old age, they were already in poor health and were ready to enter a nursing home together.

And Chen Pingsheng took a group of photos of them at home just when they were about to leave.

In the picture, the old couple is drinking tea, cutting flowers, and exercising together. There is no worry about the years on their faces, nor is there any harshness about trivial matters.

Chen Pingsheng felt another kind of peaceful life.

There is no doubt that this kind of old life is what everyone yearns for.

But not many people may be able to get it. After all, there are many people who have been worrying about it all their lives, and there are also many people who have lived for decades and still don’t understand.

Many people work hard all their lives, but in the end they don't give themselves a happy death. It's not that they can't look away, but that they can't let go.

So taking pictures is also a way to experience other people’s lives.

After Chen Pingsheng finished this order, he stopped taking jobs because in two days he would fly to Hangzhou to shoot the cover of Huacai Magazine.

Although he had told Li Feng about Wang Zeze's figure problem in advance, Li Feng was a little disapproving of it. He thought that he could just use makeup and lenses to avoid the shortcomings.

Chen Pingsheng had nothing to say and could only change his shooting plan.

"Ding." The phone suddenly sounded a text message notification tone.

He looked and saw that the money from the crew had arrived.

Now that the account has been received, the system's task can finally be completed.

"Routine Tasks: How to Make Money as a Photographer"

"Task content: A truly powerful photographer will take into account both business and art, so every time you earn the target amount through photography, you will receive an attribute point reward."

"Third stage goal: 50000 yuan. Achieved: 103000. Mission reward: Photography vision points*2"

After this task is completed, the system prompt sounds again.

「第四阶段目标：100000元。已达成：103000。任务奖励：摄影灵感点数*1、摄影视野点数*1、摄影技术点数*1」

Three more attribute points were entered into the account, and Chen Pingsheng nodded to express his satisfaction.

Then he saw the next mission.

"The fifth stage goal: 300000 yuan. Achieved: 103000. Mission reward: Photography inspiration points*3"

"It suddenly jumped to 30." Chen Pingsheng leaned on the sofa. This kind of amount can only be accumulated little by little over time.

Then he added the points, and the current attribute interface is as follows.

"Name: Chen Pingsheng"

"Photography: 36"

"Photography inspiration: 25"

"Photography field of view: 26"

Every time he adds attributes, he feels that his abilities are improving a little bit, but this improvement is mainly reflected in the process of taking pictures.For example, when shooting some temporary scenes, he has become more and more proficient in grasping the composition. He can directly raise the camera to shoot without much thinking.

And now there are very few waste films.

For example, for the poster that I shot for Director Lin last time, if it were another photographer, he would immediately start a crazy continuous shooting, and then take a picture from it as a poster.

Chen Pingsheng only took three shots, and each one accurately captured the actor's expression changes when the candles flew up.

This is the control of the shooting field of view.

As for inspiration for shooting, it is a special feeling that bursts out from time to time. For example, when he was photographing the group of young people smoking, he chose to wait because of a vague inspiration.

It's like a kind of foresight. He foresees a certain possibility and copies it from the world at a critical moment to form a photo.

Chen Pingsheng couldn't imagine what his attributes would be like if they reached their peak.

Is it a classic just by taking a shot?
It sounded a bit magical, but he found it quite refreshing.

Just as I was daydreaming about the future, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?" Chen Pingsheng asked.

"express delivery!"

When you open the door, you will see a familiar courier boy, familiar packages, and familiar overseas collect.

"Why do you receive and pay packages overseas?" Chen Pingsheng was a little annoyed. He felt that the system was really iron-clad and never cut off a dime.

"I don't know? Maybe it's company policy. I'm responsible for delivering the express." The courier boy put the package on the ground and asked, "Do you want to open it and take a look?"

"Okay, let's take a look." Chen Pingsheng found a pair of scissors from the house and opened the package layer by layer.

There is indeed a Hasselblad X1D model inside.

"The camera, why is it so heavy? How about taking a look?"

Chen Pingsheng held the camera in his hand. It felt very real, but he knew it was just a model.However, with some luck, he looked at the battery compartment first. After finding a battery, he pressed the power button, but nothing happened.

"No problem." Chen Pingsheng said, crying silently in his heart.

For a photographer, what could be more sad than having your beloved camera in front of your eyes but only being able to touch it?

After the courier left, Chen Pingsheng studied the model carefully for a long time.

I found that all the parts were present, and it even came with a lens, but there was no charger or accessories.

Chen Pingsheng compared it with his Feiming medium format camera and found that Hasselblad's was the best in terms of feel and workmanship.

It's a pity that this brand does not exist in this world.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up from the sofa and paced back and forth.

Chen Pingsheng had various drawings of Hasselblad and this model in his hands. He suddenly realized that he was getting closer and closer to replicating this camera.

Although I have no money or fame now, everything can be solved with time.And when he really gains an international reputation, it will definitely be much easier to find investors.

It seems that there is a great opportunity to reproduce this camera in the future.

Chen Pingsheng lay on the sofa and closed his eyes, with images of the future already in his mind.

"Then X2D, can it also be reproduced?" When thinking of this, Chen Pingsheng clenched his fists. His long-cherished wish now has the hope of being fulfilled by himself. This feeling fascinated him.

"So the next step is to continue making money and gaining fame!" With that said, he turned on the computer and started color grading the customer films.

　There are temporary changes today, and normal updates will resume tomorrow: one update at [-]pm, and an additional chapter at [-]pm. I hope you will read more!
