Reboot the heyday

Chapter 428 Lonely Photographer
"There is essentially no difference between a cameraman and a photographer!" Wang Taika said with a smile: "I won this award many years ago. But I have been running around all these years, and there is no fixed foothold. So It has been kept in the organizing committee. Recently, I stayed in South Korea for more than a month, so I sent it to me."

"Then what you just said?"

"I just said a lot, what do you ask?" Wang Taika asked.

"Is it true that mobile phones take better photos than cameras?" Yun'er asked curiously.

Wang Taika nodded: "That's right! It's true. You exposed it a little too quickly!"

Yoona put down the first certificate, and looked at the second certificate.If the first Yoona is not familiar, then the second Yoona is very familiar!

"The United States National Geographic world photography contest?" Yun'er looked up at Wang Taika: "If I'm not mistaken, this is the United States "National Geographic" global photography contest? Right!"

Wang Taika nodded: "Yes, this is it."

Yun'er couldn't believe it and said: "Sometimes I'm under too much pressure, and I often read some landscape record magazines. The American "National Geographic" magazine is my favorite. Wang Taika, you should confess quickly!"

"What am I confessing?" Wang Taika smiled wryly, "It's just an award!"

"If you say that the mobile phone photography award before is not popular, I will admit it. Do you think I am stupid? The American "National Geographic" magazine is one of the most famous magazines in the world!" Yuner flipped through it and was sure it was true. , not a fake, and then asked with some breakdown: "This is also the place where photojournalists from all over the world dream of publishing their photos. Others won this award, and they want to hang it up every day, but you actually put it on the toilet!"

"I didn't expect you to know so much about this magazine?" Wang Taika admitted helplessly: "Okay, I lied to you just now. Actually...how about you keep scrolling down? How many more are there?"

Yun'er was taken aback for a moment, and then flipped through the certificates at the back, but the above was not in English, but in a foreign language, whether it was French or German, so she couldn't understand it anyway.But there is one thing in common, that is, the winners all have a unified name: "Albert!"

Wang Taika went over and took all the certificates in Yuner's hand and put them in the box, then threw the box on the toilet with him, turned to look at Yuner and shrugged: "Well, actually, I have always had one thing I have deceived everyone. I have not actually made documentaries every day for so many years. I have also found a lot. With that little salary, I really can’t even afford better shooting equipment.”

"So?" Yuner asked.

"So I did a lot of things, but I was not in China, because I was afraid of being discovered, and even took an English name, do you think it's funny?" Wang Taika said in a nostalgic tone: "Normally, how should I say it? I will help some foreign teams shoot MVs, or take photos and submit them to some well-known magazines to earn royalties for the photos. Or be hired by foreign teams and go to some dangerous places with them to shoot. Finally, I will participate in competitions and earn bonuses. Probably That's it. By the way, don't you wonder why I learned Korean so quickly? I was still at a loss in China before, but then I can speak it very well?"

"Yeah? Why?" Yun'er has now completely turned into a curious baby, her mind is blank.The shock Wang Taika gave her was indeed a bit big.

"I actually met a Korean photographer a long time ago, when we were employed by the US "National Geographic" magazine, we went to the Amazon rainforest to shoot pythons and crocodiles, and he kept whispering these things in my ear for almost two months! "Wang Taika laughed and said: "So when I was learning Korean later, I found that I had heard a lot of words from that guy, and I could say a little bit, but I didn't know what it meant. Haha! It's funny to think about it. Later, I learned it by myself, and I have a good foundation, so after I understand the meaning, I will be very fast."

"Hey Yigu! Are you still employed by "National Geographic" magazine?" Yun'er couldn't believe it: "Why don't you sign it for me?"

"I didn't expect that you were still a young woman in literature and art, and you still read these things? Someone else would just fool you." Wang Taika scratched his hair: "The curious baby, do you have any questions?"

"Yes!" Yun'er nodded and asked, "How many awards have you won?"

Wang Taika frowned.

"If you don't want to tell me, I will."

"No, I'm counting!" Wang Taika muttered while counting: "British Wildlife Photography Award, Global Tourism Photography Award, AOP Annual Photographer Assistant Award, Hasselblad Annual Master Award, International Landscape Photography Award, Dongchuan, Japan Award Photography Award, Topknots Photography Award of the Year, International Garden Photography Competition, Washington Fotoweek DC Photography Competition, nthropographia Photography Award, BBC Wildlife Photography Competition, IPA International Photography Award, Moran Contemporary Photography Award, Visa de l'ANI Photography Award, Travel Photographer Award, British Environmental Photography Competition, Awakening World Photography Award, Emerging New Photography Fund Award, Prix Picto Fashion Photography Award, Huasai, American Student Photographer of the Year Award, Nature Photographer of the Year Competition, Pulitzer Prize Photography Category, International Environmental Photography Annual Competition, Leica Oscar Photo Competition, Best Nature Photography in America, World Bird Handbook Photography Competition. Well, almost all of them, I have passed. As I said, I lived on prize money for a while!"

"Are you lying to me? Is it too exaggerated?" Yun'er didn't believe it at all: "If you were really good, would you honestly make documentaries?"

"No conflict! At first I just wanted to earn extra money, but later I found out that bonuses are the fastest way to pay! It can easily cost thousands of dollars! And if you make a documentary, the air ticket and travel expenses will be reimbursed by the TV station, so I definitely can't spend the money myself!"

"Oh my god!" Yun'er looked faint, how much this guy loves money!

Wang Taika shrugged: "There is more! Sometimes, you can win many awards for an excellent photo. And this is not what I got in a year. I have used it for many years, and I have gone half a year. Earth took thousands or even tens of thousands of photos to get these. Several DSLRs have been scrapped, which is really not an exaggeration.”

"Then you have so much bonus, why are you still so poor?" Yun'er was still suspicious of Wang Taika's words, because it was too exaggerated!
"Photography is poor for three generations, and SLR ruins your life. Haven't you heard this sentence?" Wang Taika said angrily: "What the hell, the equipment is updated too fast now! Although I don't particularly care about the equipment, there are some things It's really good, I really can't control my hand! Looking at a good thing is more attractive than seeing a beautiful woman!"

"No swearing is allowed! So...you bought the equipment for the bonus?" Yun'er asked.

"That's not true, it's just a small part." Wang Taika explained, "Most of them were sent home to my parents."

"Oh." Yun'er nodded, and finally understood a little after hearing this.After all, it is normal for the child to send money home after earning money.This also shows that Wang Taika is actually pretty good, right?

Wang Taika let out a sigh of relief, "Sometimes I send money to my family, in fact, rather than the meaning of the money, I want to use this silent way to tell my family that I am doing well outside, so don't worry. So I sent all the money back, telling them that I made a lot of money and it was great, so they could rest assured. So I basically sent all the money back except for some basic expenses. Even if one day I died suddenly and no one knew, they would be able to Had a great time!"

"Why do you have such a mentality?" Yun'er looked at Wang Taika, feeling a little distressed for no reason.I feel that Wang Taika is really extremely insecure.

How lonely does a person have to be to worry that no one will know when he dies?
