Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 105 Chen Mu’s working hours (with color)

Mr. Chen Mu is the deputy director of the South China Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is usually responsible for the research of biological membranes, focusing on membrane lipid-protein interactions, with special attention to the impact of intracellular membrane systems (mitochondria, lysosomes, etc.) Regulatory mechanism of important cellular life activities.

Chen Pingsheng listened for a long time but still didn't understand what the project was. He gave back all his high school knowledge to the teacher.

What he paid more attention to was the taboo of shooting here. After all, he didn't want to go to jail at such a young age.

But it was better than he expected, because the laboratory and scientific research equipment were in Building 2, so he could take pictures in this building.

Except for Mr. Chen Mu's computer screen, because there are many confidential files in their computers, which may cause heavy losses if leaked.

After hearing this, Chen Pingsheng said on the spot that he would never go too far and classified the area behind Mr. Chen Mu as an untouchable area.

Mr. Chen Mu comforted him and asked him not to be so cautious.

The two talked for a while about the topic of shooting safety, and then started talking about the content of the shooting.

"Actually, I just want to take pictures of everyday life, and I don't need to take posed pictures like other people." Mr. Chen Mu simply stated his request.

Chen Pingsheng nodded and replied: "Then I will only capture your performance at work. Then you don't need to be too nervous. Just follow your usual state and do whatever you want. You can treat me as if I don't exist."

"Okay, okay, I'll trouble you, Xiao Chen." Mr. Chen Mu relaxed after hearing this. He was still quite uncomfortable facing the camera.

"It's okay." Chen Pingsheng smiled.

The next second, the old-fashioned phone in the office suddenly rang. Mr. Chen Mu answered the phone and listened to the voice on the phone. His state suddenly changed from peaceful to serious.

Then Chen Pingsheng looked at him, sometimes frowning and sometimes thinking, as if he was stumped by some problem.

Then he picked up the pen and paper again and kept writing and drawing in a very serious state.

Chen Pingsheng immediately burst out with inspiration, decisively raised the camera, moved his body as far away as possible, and used telephoto to capture the picture of Mr. Chen Mu.

"Click." The slight sound of the shutter, accompanied by the sound of pen rubbing against paper, formed a melody throughout the room.

Not long after, the pen in Mr. Chen Mu's hand suddenly stopped, his face looked happy, and he told the person on the phone a few figures. He should have solved something related to the project.

Chen Pingsheng immediately took another photo.

Mr. Chen Mu hung up the phone and saw that Chen Pingsheng was already at work. He said sheepishly: "I got a sudden call. Xiao Chen, you don't have to keep filming. Take a rest when you are tired."

"Don't worry, you will work at your own pace, and I will work at my own pace." Chen Pingsheng replied with a smile.

"Okay, let's work at our own pace." Mr. Chen Mu was very happy to hear this. He turned on the computer and began to study the project.

Time passes slowly, and the old-fashioned pendulum hanging on the wall makes a ticking sound, as if an inexplicable existence is traveling through the uncertain space in the secular sense with the minute and second hands.

Soon it was approaching noon, and the window sill of the office was suddenly illuminated by sunlight. It was a beam of sunlight that passed through the twists and turns of the buildings and the resistance of the atmosphere. It fell softly on the glass, and was refracted like a thin veil of mist. On the body of Mr. Chen Mu.

The white hair is dyed golden, as if there are ripples, with a little bit of light, forming a moving portrait in the camera.

At this moment, Chen Pingsheng even couldn't bear to press the shutter, as if the sound of the shutter would disturb Sunshine and make him flee in panic.

But he finally sighed and pressed the shutter, because he was more afraid that he would miss the opportunity to keep it.

And not long after, Chen Pingsheng began to rejoice in his decision, because the light seemed to be an elf that stayed temporarily and disappeared in just a moment.For the next time, he kept watching Mr. Chen Mu's every move through the camera.

Although the old man did not care about the quality of the photos and just wanted to leave something as a souvenir, Chen Pingsheng could not tolerate his works becoming mediocre.

How to use light and shadow well in this small space and take suitable photos has become his current topic.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

After working for a while, Mr. Chen Mu suddenly stood up, opened the door and walked out.

Chen Pingsheng was stunned for a moment and hurried to follow. Then he heard what Mr. Chen Mu had been mumbling, but he couldn't hear or understand it clearly.Chen Pingsheng thought that maybe he was constantly calculating something in his mind, so he was so focused that he didn't even bother to talk to him.

Mr. Chen Mu's destination was the bathroom. Chen Pingsheng did not follow him, but just waited with his camera.

Not long after, he came out of the bathroom. At this time, Chen Pingsheng was standing near the steps of the stairs, placing the camera parallel to his waist.

Mr. Chen Mu walked slowly. On the wall next to him was a 45-degree dividing line formed by glass reflection. The shadow was in front of the old man.At this time, he was walking out of the sun and approaching the shadows.It was like a train carrying sunshine into darkness. His back was a bit stooped, his body was not very tall, and the ravines on his face were full of traces of time.But Chen Pingsheng felt that no one could stand in front of him, or stand tall in front of such a group of people.

Mr. Chen Mu stepped into the darkness. His upper body and lower body happened to be separated by a straight dividing line, and his glasses suddenly reflected a little light at this moment!

"Crack!"

Chen Pingsheng put down his camera with satisfaction and silently followed his pace.

In the dark corridor, apart from the footsteps of the two people, there was only a light from the window in the distance.Mr. Chen Mu walked forward, as if running towards the light, and also as if he was walking along the light.

As for Chen Pingsheng, he raised his camera and took another photo.

I don’t know why, but there are obviously no many equipments, no scenes with complete props, and no outstanding environment.But Chen Pingsheng felt that this place was so charming, far more charming than in the studio.

It seems that what he is taking is not photos, but living souls.

Back in the office, the two of them were busy with their own affairs.

Finally, at 12:30, Mr. Chen Mu's working state was interrupted by the alarm clock.

"Ring, ring, ring!" The noisy sound of the square alarm clock is unbearable.

After Mr. Chen Mu turned it off, he took off his glasses and looked at Chen Pingsheng: "Did it disturb you?"

"No, why did you set an alarm clock?" Chen Pingsheng was sitting on the chair diagonally in front of him, looking at the photos in the camera.

Mr. Chen Mu smiled and said, "I usually forget to eat when I get to work, so I set an alarm clock to avoid missing meals."

Chen Pingsheng was in awe and couldn't help but expressed concern: "You should rest more."

The old man waved his hands and stood up: "I can't rest. When I rest, I can't get up easily." When he spoke, his eyes were clear and without any distracting thoughts.

Perhaps for this old man, studying this matter itself is his biggest hobby.
