Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 176 Golden Item “Prayer Music Box”

On the third day after Chen Pingsheng returned, the film festival funds for "Crow" had been transferred to his bank account.

The first is ticket revenue, 210 yuan.

Followed by peripheral income, 11 yuan.

The total is about 220 million, of course this is all tax paid.

This was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for Chen Pingsheng at this time.

He turned around and wired 200 million yuan to his parents to buy a house, and then wired 3000 yuan to Li Aping as a subsidy for the new month.

Now that the children are still young and there are few places to spend money, 1000 yuan per person is really not low.

Basically, you can’t spend it all every month, so you have to save it.

Chen Pingsheng kept more than 20 yuan in his own hands, which was enough for him.

As long as we wait another six months, more income will come in, such as income from film festivals and publications.

And just a few minutes later, the system's prompt tone came belatedly.

"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."

"The sixth stage goal: 1000000 yuan. Achieved: 2207320. Mission reward: Photography vision points*3"

"The seventh stage goal: 5000000 yuan. Achieved: 2207320. Mission reward: Photography inspiration points*3"

After the sixth stage, the amount became 500 million, which was undoubtedly more difficult.

However, with the addition of the 3-point photography field of view, Chen Pingsheng's attribute points were once again approaching 50 points.

And this does not include the settlement reward of Vivian's experience coupon.

"Photography style: 8 points (out of 10 points). She is always proud and confident, even if she is a little lonely, but this is her selfie style. As for city life, she is good at capturing every detail and an emotional The images, tranquility, delicacy, warmth and playful feelings are the cornerstones of her photography.”

"Photography composition: 10 points (out of 10 points). She always shoots herself like a bystander, never making an intimate gesture towards the camera. The pictures contain casual but precise insights."

"Photography color: 10 points (out of 10 points) She doesn't care about color, because when she has money, she shoots in color, and when she has no money, she shoots in black and white. She will not deliberately develop the negatives because she is more interested in shooting."

"Expression content: 10 points (out of 10 points) What does Vivian want to express? Maybe it's crying children, maybe it's poor people, maybe it's her confident self, but more importantly, it's the heart she wants to express. heart, so any content can be her expression."

"Master Experience Ticket Summary: The photographer captured the essence of Vivian Maier and completed an almost perfect work."

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

"I'm Vivian Miles. I'm Vivian Miles. I'm a nanny and a "spy" who walks around the city observing everything."

When Chen Pingsheng read her settlement words, he finally understood what she wanted.

For Vivian Maier, the trivial matters in life are not important, nor are the photos that are developed. The most important thing is to enjoy the moment when the photos are taken.

Whether it's a double-lens reflex camera or a single-lens reflex camera, whether it's black and white or color.

This is all her choice.

Unlike other masters who have a clear understanding and planning of their works, she is not that kind of artist, she is more like a street observer or improviser.

He is a photographer who focuses more on interesting images than a series of street photography masters such as Senshan Avenue and Cartier-Bresson.

But people can still see the thread of her thoughts in her photos, which is her concern for the people at the bottom that has not changed from beginning to end.

This may be related to the fact that her photography techniques come from newspaper photojournalism.

We can think of them as folk news photographers, the people closest to our lives.

After sighing, Chen Pingsheng added the attribute points one by one.

At this time, his attribute points have become like this.

"Photography inspiration: 38"

"Photography field of view: 44"

Obviously, the next item that's about to hit 50 is photography field of view.

It's just that he has no more tasks to do now.

Fortunately, he has not yet delivered the system's February photography assignment.

Vivian's photo was just the thing to deliver.

After selecting for a while, he submitted the photo to the system, and a prompt appeared.

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

"Evaluation completed, this week's rating: S, 15 lucky draw opportunities."

"Do you want to draw a lottery now?" This rating did not surprise him. Although Vivian's photos are beautiful and very consistent with the public's understanding of photography, her exploration of the boundaries of art is indeed relatively limited.

The most important thing is to establish a system. Unlike Bresson's photos, both the composition and the picture are very rigorous, and his surreal decisive moments are consistently implemented.

But this does not prevent her from becoming one of the most famous photographers in the world, because the humanistic scenes reflected in her photos are actually the most authentic reflection of that era in the United States.

Chen Pingsheng went to wash his hands and then clicked on the draw.

"Congratulations on winning the following white prizes: Strengthening Voucher*3, Master Experience Voucher*4, Photography Vision*2, Small-Scale Publicity Opportunity*2"

10 white prizes made him sigh. It seemed that his luck was still very bad this time.

"Congratulations on winning the following blue prizes: Energy replenishment sticker*1, English learning voucher*1, Spanish learning voucher*1"

Chen Pingsheng's eyes lit up and he saw something new.

It’s just that although this kind of learning voucher is easy to use, it cannot directly help him omit the process of learning a language.

It would have been great if he had this kind of cheat in high school, and he could become a multilingual master in minutes. Unfortunately, he has passed the time when he needs to learn the most.

For him, learning English well and everyday conversations in other languages ​​is enough to travel around the world without fear.

But there are still two prizes that haven't appeared yet. Could it be purple?

"Congratulations on winning the following purple prize: Large-scale publicity opportunity*1"

"It's over? No, why is there still one less?" Chen Pingsheng wondered, then suddenly realized something, and his expression suddenly became excited.

"Congratulations to you for winning the following golden prize: Prayer Music Box*1"

"Golden legend!" Chen Pingsheng suddenly stood up from the sofa, clenched his fists and cheered.

After he calmed down, he read the introduction and kept rubbing his hands together, full of anticipation.

But when he saw the function of the prop, he scratched his head in confusion.

"Prayer Music Box: A magical item used to change the weather, but there is a probability of failure. How to use: The day before shooting, place the prayer music box on a flat surface, twist the spring, and then silently recite the area and the area you want to change. Weather conditions. If the prince picks up his princess, it represents success. If the prince is chased by the dragon, it represents failure. Note: This item is only for the photographer, and will be damaged after use by others."

"What does this mean?" Chen Pingsheng looked through the props column at the prayer music box inside.

This is a music box composed of a wooden base and transparent spherical glass. On the base you can see a circle of rails, with a little prince riding a white horse on it.

In the center stands a high tower, on which is a princess wearing a pink skirt and a sparkling crown, as if she is waiting for the prince's rescue.

Because the physical props need to be mailed, Chen Pingsheng can't experiment now. He doesn't know how useful this golden item is.

But judging from the description, it should be a prop used to change the weather in an area.

But I'm afraid the scope is not that big, because if it could change the weather in a large area, it would be too outrageous.

By creating artificial rainfall at no cost, wouldn’t he become the modern Dragon King?

"It's definitely not that outrageous." Chen Pingsheng sighed, then put the matter aside and started adding more points.

The photographic field of vision has reached 46 points, just short of the last 4 points, but he does not have a cross-border mission coupon in his hand, so there is no way to increase his attributes.

In addition, a lot of physical fitness coupons and learning coupons were obtained in this lottery.

He currently has a total of 6 physical fitness coupons, 4 English learning coupons, 2 Japanese learning coupons, and 1 Spanish learning coupon in his inventory.

I also used some during this period, but not much, so Chen Pingsheng planned to use these coupons to strengthen himself while going to the Capital Film Festival.

Speaking of the Capital Film Festival, there was a call from Qin Yi before. She would come to the film festival on the first day to visit. Chen Pingsheng planned to accompany Sister Qin to visit and then chat about the current situation.

As for the Shura Field at the South China Film Festival, he hasn't figured out a strategy yet.

Just when he was trying to figure out how to divert the time between the two of them, Gai Tuowen suddenly called him.

"Hey, editor-in-chief, what's wrong?" Chen Pingsheng answered the phone and asked.

"Bing Sheng, let me tell you good news. The factory has printed the photo album in advance and it will be released in the near future." Gai Tuwen's voice was very excited. Time is money. Now everyone is very interested in this work. , if published it will definitely make money.

Chen Pingsheng was also very happy: "Great, when can I see it?"

Gai Tuowen smiled and said: "Are you free to come to the capital recently? You can take a look at the finished product." The sample of the first edition of the printing factory was also at the publishing house at this time. Chen Pingsheng happened to be there and could get it for his collection. .

"Okay, the second stop of "The Crow" is in the capital. I'll take the flight the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, no problem." Gai Tuowen was about to end the topic when he suddenly heard Chen Pingsheng say: "By the way, editor-in-chief Gai, are you still interested in the album?"

"What do you mean?" Gai Tuwen was a little confused. Hasn't the copyright of "Perspective Museum" been taken away by Changjiang Publishing House?

"I recently completed another work and want to publish it."

Gai Tuowen was stunned. He didn't expect Chen Pingsheng to give him a big news. However, he was a little worried that the work completed so quickly could really cause a splash in the photography world and become a classic?Isn't it used to make money?
So he asked: "What is it called?"

Chen Pingsheng replied: "The decisive moment."
