Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 157 "The Crow" is actually plagiarized? (6K chapters)

Ever since the trailer for the museum series was released on Film Circle, Fan Tiesheng has been thinking about whether he should go and see it.

After all, people who consider themselves to be Chen Pingsheng's number one fan now would feel as if they were being scratched by a cat if they were unable to see his works immediately.

Moreover, the company's annual leave is paid on time every year. As an old employee, I have accumulated [-] days of annual leave, and it will soon expire if I don't use it anymore.

Therefore, he made up his mind to take leave and buy a plane ticket directly, planning to go to the museum and take a rest.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he told the female editor about his plan, the female editor actually wanted to go with him.

"Qin Fenya, hurry up." Standing in front of the airport exit, Fan Tiesheng, carrying two bags of luggage, shouted to the female editor who was walking behind him.

"Coming, coming." Qin Fenya ran quickly to catch up with Fan Tiesheng. She was wearing a white down jacket and only carried a shoulder bag.

When she got closer, she asked doubtfully: "Teacher Fan, why did you take two bags and leave so fast?"

Fan Tiesheng turned around and stepped forward pretending to be cool: "Are you quick? The weight is quite light."

"I didn't realize Teacher Fan was so powerful." Qin Fenya praised, then followed him towards the subway station.

"Why do you suddenly want to come to South China? Don't you have very little annual leave left?" Fan Tiesheng asked her doubtfully while waiting for the subway.He originally planned to go alone, after all, he had returned to being single a few months ago.

Unexpectedly, there was an extra troublemaker. Although it was not so lonely to have a companion, Qin Fenya's purpose was still a bit strange.

She is not a fan of Chen Pingsheng!

"I usually listen to you talk about tough guy works, aren't I also interested?" Qin Fenya's face photo today is different than before. She also wears lipstick, eye makeup, and looks much younger after washing her hair.

She was originally 28 years old, but she looked a bit old-fashioned in her slovenly manner at work.

When dressed up, she still looks a bit outstanding.

Fan Tiesheng, on the other hand, was the same as before, at most he was wearing a hat to cover up his naked heavenly spirit.

"Oh." He didn't suspect anything, thinking that it was his Amway that finally made her understand the power of Chen Pingsheng's works.

"By the way, where should we go to eat after watching the work?" Qin Fenya suddenly asked, but this question made Fan Tiesheng frown.

"Whatever, I think it's pretty much the same." He had never been too lazy to think about this kind of thing.

"Straight man of steel." Qin Fenya muttered in a low voice, then took out his mobile phone and started looking for it.

By the time the two arrived at the hotel and put down their luggage, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

"Would you like to eat something first?" Qin Fenya suggested.

But Fan Tiesheng shook his head: "If you don't go now, it will be too late. There must be a lot of people in the museum." He didn't want to wait in line for an hour or two and then crowd around to see the works.

"It shouldn't happen. This is not the capital." Qin Fenya has been to museums in the capital before, and the queues are indeed very long, especially on weekends, when there are so many people.

But today is Monday, so there shouldn’t be that many people going to the exhibition.

However, she and Fan Tiesheng still underestimated the South China people's love for museums, so what if it was a working day?Children on winter vacation, accompanying parents, and some college students don’t think about what day of the week it is.

When they arrived at eleven o'clock, there was already a long queue outside the museum and it was so crowded.

Fan Tiesheng sighed several times, knowing that he could not see the photo immediately, so he could only let Qin Fenya pull him and go to a nearby restaurant for a bite to eat.

At [-] noon, although there was still a queue, it was obviously much smaller. After waiting in line for half an hour, they finally were able to enter the museum.

"Huh." Fan Tiesheng's head was covered with sweat, and he still felt hot after wiping it with his hands, so he took off his down jacket and held it in his hands.

Qin Fenya had already taken off his down jacket and was admiring the fossils in the exhibition.

"Let's go this way." Fan Tiesheng was not interested in anything else and had a clear goal, just to see Chen Pingsheng's new work.

Qin Fenya took it easy, and the two of them walked quickly into the prehistoric exhibition hall.

Then they saw the dense crowd, crowded in front of the booth, with different heights and heights. Everyone looked curiously at the scene inside the glass and compared it with the black and white photos next to them.

"Dad, why is this photo in black and white?" a little girl asked curiously, holding her fingers in her mouth.

Her father thought for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Fan Tiesheng, who was squeezing forward, couldn't help but said: "Because it looks more real this way."

The girl's father glanced at Fan Tiesheng, smiled, and then said, "Yes, you see, you can't tell the truth from the false."

"Dad, is this savage real?" The girl looked up at the sculpture and felt that it was a little fake.

The girl's father picked up the girl and answered her words while making room for Fan Tiesheng, so that he finally moved into the front row.

Qin Fenya also followed him to the booth. This booth was about the life of primitive people. The three savages each performed their duties, and Chen Pingsheng's photo was hanging next to the booth.

Qin Fenya immediately looked at the booth, but Fan Tiesheng immediately looked at the photos.

The savages in the black-and-white photos were like real historical materials, reminding him of the pictures from the historical programs he watched on TV when he was a child.

It's very real, very detailed, and the size is not small, and you can see the style of large-format film.

After looking at the statue, Qin Fenya looked back at the photo, and then said in surprise: "This photo is much more real than the sculpture."

"Really, do you know why this is?" Fan Tiesheng couldn't help showing off and asked the question.

"Why?" Qin Fenya is also an editor in the film industry. Naturally, he can see a lot of things. He just doesn't want to steal Fan Tiesheng's words, so he asks in a follow-up manner.

"Because of the lack of the dimension of color, our brains cannot tell whether this photo is true or false." Although Fan Tiesheng is not as vicious as Mr. Ericson, he can still see Chen Pingsheng's intentions.

"Actually, this is creating obstacles for the audience." Fan Tiesheng continued: "It is also a means to achieve the photographer's purpose. I found that although Chen Pingsheng likes to shoot his works in black and white. But in fact, it is all for the sake of the work itself. "Crow" " and "Museum" if they were in color, I think it might not be as brilliant."

"He really likes to shoot photos in black and white." Qin Fenya agreed, and then looked at the texture of the photos.

"This film feels different from ordinary film. It's a large-format camera. No wonder." She looked at the line of text below, which was a brief introduction to the concept of the work and the equipment used.

"Let's go on and see the others." This was the first time Fan Tiesheng saw a physical photo of Chen Pingsheng, and he felt it was both fresh and shocking.

I can't wait to collect all the photos together and create an album collection right away.

This is also the wish of many fans. In the film industry, under every photo issue, there are people urging Chen Pingsheng to release a photo album as soon as possible.

For photography enthusiasts, it is simply too painful not to be able to collect their favorite works on their bookshelf.

However, according to Gaiwen's estimate, even at the fastest speed, the publication of the "Crow" album will have to wait until after the Chinese New Year.

However, the magazine has already reached an agreement with the factory on printing matters during the Chinese New Year, and there will be some workers who will not go home for the Chinese New Year to continue printing work.

Fan Tiesheng and Qin Fenya walked around the exhibition hall three times. He looked at each photo several times, as if it was imprinted in his mind.

Qin Fenya couldn't bear it, so he said hello directly and went to see something else.

However, Fan Tiesheng didn't react at all, because he suddenly thought of next year's qualifying competition.

Will such a well-intentioned series once again knock on the door of the best series of the year?
Fan Tiesheng expressed his curiosity. He felt that this work was not as distinctive as "The Crow" from a viewing perspective.But in terms of its inspiration to the photography industry, it is also unique.

The proposition of true or false is an eternal question in photography, and it is also a very important shooting method.

Chen Pingsheng's "Museum" series puts forward a new idea about authenticity and falsehood, and even has a subtle impact on the audience.

Fan Tiesheng thought about it carefully, and it seemed that the entire work could be well summarized in one sentence.

This is a work in which viewers are faced with false photos taken by photographers that are completely human re-enactments of history, but cannot tell the truth from the false.

"It's really interesting." After muttering a few words, Fan Tiesheng began to squeeze behind the others again and continued to watch these photos over and over again.

At this glance, it was four hours. When Fan Tiesheng went out to find Qin Fenya, he found her drinking latte and eating small cakes in a cafe near the museum.

"How are you seeing?" Qin Fenya was not angry at Fan Tiesheng's concentration at all, but asked him curiously.

"I probably understand." Fan Tiesheng nodded and sat across from him.

Qin Fenya immediately handed him a fork and motioned for him to eat something.

"How about you, what do you think?" Although Fan Tiesheng is an innocent straight man, his emotional intelligence is not very low. Naturally, he knows that it is not good for him to only look at the photos and ignore the lady.

Qin Fenya said with waning interest, "It's just average. It's not interesting for me to look around."

"Then what else do you want to see? I'll accompany you?" Fan Tiesheng finally became wiser for a while.

Of course, it may be because he is already satisfied, so his smart IQ begins to occupy the high ground again.

Qin Fenya raised his eyebrows: "Really?"

"Yes, I've taken three days off anyway. Where do you want to go tomorrow?" Fan Tiesheng asked after taking a bite of the cake.

"Then I want to go here." Qin Fenya took out his mobile phone and showed him the place he had been eyeing for a long time.

"Glass plank road? Sakura Manor?" Looking at these places that are obviously popular places for girls, Fan Tiesheng asked: "Aren't you afraid of heights?"

"No, are you afraid of heights?"

"No, I'm not afraid of heights." Fan Tiesheng felt that he could not lose face.

Just as the two were happily discussing where to go the next day, Chen Pingsheng also received a message from the system.

"Cross-border mission: The South China Museum of Natural History is about to open, and we need to hire a professional to assist with the curatorial work."

"The cross-border mission has been completed and is being evaluated..."

"Evaluation completed, task rating: S"

"Congratulations on receiving the following mission rewards: Photography points gift pack*1, medium-range publicity opportunity*1"

Shortly after opening the museum, Chen Pingsheng got a reminder to complete the task.

Although the rewards given were not many, they were all what he needed.

The photography points gift package and the photography points spree are different. The former gives 3 free points, while the latter gives 6 fixed attribute points.If possible, Chen Pingsheng naturally hopes that the latter will give him free attributes, so that he can quickly accumulate one of them.

But this is obviously impossible, the system is not so generous.However, photography technology is not far away from 50 points. He wants to see what will happen after 50 points, so this time he plans to add all the points to technology.

After adding points, he continued to deliver the task.This time it is a monthly fixed task.

"This month's task has been submitted and is being evaluated..."

"The evaluation is completed, this week's rating is: SS, and you will get 20 lottery opportunities."

"Do you want to draw the lottery now?"

"We didn't even get to SSS." Chen Pingsheng looked at the system interface in front of him regretfully, but the rating of SS was already very high.

Looking at the slightly shaking lottery box, he rubbed his hands and was about to click, then immediately went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

The things he got in the lottery last time on the road were very ordinary. This time he wanted to be a little more metaphysical, and both the form and the songs had to be well matched.

I washed my hands and my face, then went to the sofa to play good luck on my newly bought tablet.

Along with the singing, Chen Pingsheng chose the lottery.

The lottery box shook immediately, and lights of various colors appeared randomly, scattering his eyes.

"Bang!" Fireworks shot out, and then Chen Pingsheng saw the results of the lottery.

「恭喜你获得以下白色奖品：摄影灵感*2、摄影视野*4、强身券*3、小范围宣传机会*2、大师体验券碎片*2」

"?" Chen Pingsheng just felt like his face was full of question marks. His favorite photography skills were not given this time!Moreover, out of 20 draws, 10 of them were white prizes alone. This probability is too outrageous!
Then he looked at the blue prize.

「恭喜你获得以下蓝色奖品：英语学习券*3、日语学习券*2、精力补充贴纸*1、摄影点数礼包*1、任务刷新券*1」

"Ah this!" Chen Pingsheng was completely speechless. Among the eight prizes, only one was related to attribute points. If all were added to photography skills, he would be just 8 points away from reaching 2 points.

This is simply killing obsessive-compulsive disorder!

There are two final prizes, I don’t know what they will be.

"Congratulations on winning the following purple prizes: Cross-Border Mission Ticket*1, Master Experience Ticket Fragments*5"

Chen Pingsheng completely gave up on reaching 50 attribute points today. He first looked at his items.

「中范围宣传机会*2、小范围宣传机会*1、大范围宣传机会*1、任务刷新券*2、精力补充贴纸*2、英语学习券*4、强身券*4、薇薇安·迈尔体验券、日语学习券*2、大师体验券碎片*10、跨界任务券*1」

I have used some English coupons and fitness coupons in the past few days, but I didn't expect that there are several more coupons now. It seems that I don't have to worry about not having any props to use recently.

After knowing everything clearly, Chen Pingsheng began to add more points.

"Photography: 48"

"Photography inspiration: 32"

"Photography field of view: 37"

Looking at the photography skills that were only 2 points behind, Chen Pingsheng felt that his heart was scratched even more painfully by the cat.

How could this happen to me!

So, he immediately used the cross-border mission coupon.

"Cross-border mission: The young eagles at high altitude are waiting for others to join. If you are also interested in high altitude, use the camera in your hand to go on a climbing adventure up to 248 meters."

"I reject!"

Chen Pingsheng used the task refresh coupon to refresh the task at that time.

Not only is he afraid of heights, but he also has serious self-destructive tendencies when standing in high places, such as dropping his cell phone or camera.

There may even be thoughts of jumping in your mind.

So he didn't want to bungee jump or climb at all.

After refreshing, Chen Pingsheng continued to look at new cross-border tasks.

"Cross-border mission: Korean star Park Seok-san is planning to promote his new work in China. He wants to collaborate with emerging talents in the domestic art world in the MV."

"climb!"

Chen Pingsheng decisively used another mission refresh coupon. He was not interested in contributing to the Korean career, and he did not want to get involved in the entertainment industry.

Although the only two mission refresh coupons were used up, he didn't feel bad because they were just for use.And now his mind is full of 50 points and doesn't care about anything else.

Fortunately, this mission is obviously much more reliable.

"Cross-border mission: A domestic photography competition is going to be judged. They need professional and famous judges. Maybe you are a suitable candidate."

This task seemed pretty good. Chen Pingsheng nodded, finally interested.

Although I don’t know when this mission will start, I think it won’t be very slow. I just don’t know how long it will take to complete the mission.

Chen Pingsheng thought for a moment, then looked at the item bar and synthesized the 10 Master Experience Ticket fragments.

However, the synthesized name made him fall into deep thought.

Alex Webber Experience Voucher.

This is a master who is somewhat unfamiliar to him, and he has only one impression of this photographer.

That's an extremely complex composition.

If we say that in the photography industry there are equipment parties, there are glamor parties, and there is a chain of contempt.So in photos, color composition, light and shadow, these three photography techniques can also be divided into three parties.

Many people think that color is greater than light and shadow than composition, some people think that light and shadow are greater than color than composition, and of course some people think that composition is greater than everything else.

There is also a group of people who believe that human beauty is greater than everything else.

But it is undeniable that composition is the only thing that photographers can fully control among the three elements. Many people’s attitude towards this is to just learn it.

As for deeper and more complex compositions, it all depends on personal talent.

Alex Weber is such a talented master of composition, and his photos always reflect complex urban scenes.

Unlike other people's emotional shots, this photographer is good at picking out his own unique vision from the cluttered crowd.

Every color and every character becomes part of the composition in his paintings.

Anyone who has seen his photos will be astonished by the complex composition and fall into a state of meditation.Because the composition itself contains his own personal thoughts.

Some photographers use color to express ideas, but Alex Weber uses composition to express his attitude.

Chen Pingsheng thought about his work, then geared up, and then slumped on the sofa not wanting to move.

There is no time to use the two Master Tickets now. After all, the exhibition of "Crow" is coming next, and as a creator, he will definitely have to travel around.

So I can only wait until I am free after the Chinese New Year before considering these master experience coupons.

Thinking of this, he turned on his mobile phone and saw that the number of fans in the film industry had exceeded 30, while the number of foreign fans had reached 21.

After replying to fans' private messages, he suddenly saw a comment from Atta.

Little photographer who committed crimes against the wind: "@陈平生, someone here is talking nonsense."

This fan liked him in a certain comment area. Chen Pingsheng took a closer look and found that it was a sharing account with 12 fans.

The so-called sharing account is similar to a marketing account. It usually picks up some pictures from abroad and puts them on the film circle to share beautiful pictures with everyone.

The reason why his fans said he was talking nonsense is because this sharing account posted a photo of Chen Pingsheng's "Crow" and compared it with some photos of domestic freehand landscape paintings, and came to a conclusion.

Foreign Picture Sharing Dog: “After looking at Gesai’s award-winning “Crow”, I found that it is exactly the same as Mr. Li Baozhen’s “Bird” series in his early years. Although I haven’t seen the full version, I think anyone with a discerning eye can spot this. Where does the winner’s inspiration come from?”

The photo he used was an excerpt from Gesay's stage, the photo of a flock of crows perched in a tree.

The photo of Li Baozhen he compared was also a black and white photo, showing a group of sparrows staying on a lush tree.Although both are photographing birds, the images they express are completely opposite.

The tone of "The Crow" is depressing and terrifying, while the tone of "The Crow" is relaxed.

If plagiarism can be determined just by similar compositions, then Chen Pingsheng can also say that all photographers who shoot landscapes and mountains have plagiarized each other.

Therefore, he didn't want to pay attention to this kind of information about target shooting in the void.

But unexpectedly, many people in the comment area thought that Chen Pingsheng borrowed Li Baozhen's concept and then re-filmed it in a different skin.

The person who said this was not a passerby, but a well-known photographer with tens of thousands of fans.

Wang Tianyi plays photography: "I think from the composition point of view, there must be reference. It doesn't matter if it is just a single composition reference, but it is a bit strange to choose to shoot birds like teacher Li Baozhen."

He seemed to be on target, but in fact his speech clearly led passers-by into a ditch.

In addition to him, some certified photographers also published information, saying that this work clearly drew on the photos of Teacher Li Baozhen.

Under their guidance, some uninformed passers-by were also swayed by this view. Although some people could see it, they couldn't stand so many photographers talking about it.

Chen Pingsheng flipped through the comments and raised his eyebrows.

"How do you feel organized and disciplined? Do you want to cause trouble?" He didn't think these photographers were just full.

Plagiarism disputes have always been the most difficult to clarify, because all it takes to make a rumor is to cite a vague example, but the person being spread the rumor has to go to great lengths to prove his or her work.

The point is that passers-by may not even look.

So Chen Pingsheng naturally didn't want this kind of topic to be associated with him.

But now it seems that someone wants to throw dirty water?
But for the time being, they can't make any big waves, because the work hasn't even been released or even developed yet. The most they can do is use a photo to confront the enemy.

Everything will become clear as it unfolds.
