Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 168: Don’t have a definition for genius! (colorful)
Chen Pingsheng ignored such remarks. In the final analysis, it was nothing more than a quarrel. If he ignored it, unnecessary disputes would easily arise.

His eyes have already been set on his next work.

However, just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that Wang Yiguo and others don't care. In order to ferment public opinion, they specially asked self-media bloggers working abroad to add a few questions about style during interviews outside the film festival.

This also reflects the mentality of some Chinese people. For them, foreign monks like to chant sutras.

No matter what the domestic critics say, they all have a sense of flattery.

Therefore, as long as a foreign leader makes a conclusion about the work "The Crow", saying that its style is similar or that it refers to the freehand brushwork of landscapes, then Wang Yiguo and others can reasonably classify it as their own.

By the way, I poured dirty water on Chen Pingsheng.

Unfortunately, things didn't work out as expected. The blogger waited for a long time at the film festival. He originally planned to ask a critic, but instead found Mr. Ericson's presence.

The chairman of the organizing committee of the competition is naturally a well-known figure in the photography industry around the world. His words are undoubtedly the best video content.

So the blogger stepped forward and stopped Mr. Chairman, and asked during the interview: "Hello, Mr. Chairman! I am a self-media creator from China. Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Of course." Mr. Ericson smiled and replied.

"What do you think of the work "The Crow"?" The blogger handed "Little Bee" to the chairman.

"I think this is a work of genius and a unique existence of a photographer." Since he is Chen Pingsheng's hometown blogger, Mr. Ericson doesn't mind a slightly exaggerated tone.

"Such a high evaluation?" The blogger was also a little surprised. He only had a partial understanding of the exhibition, so he didn't quite understand what Mr. Chairman meant.

"Yes, it is so high. Whether it is its style or the ideas it contains, it is worth learning from all photographers." Mr. Ericson added.

Since style was mentioned, the blogger naturally led to the issue explained by Wang Yiguo.

"Well, Mr. Chairman, I have also read this work. I think its black and white style is somewhat similar to the domestic freehand landscape style. Do you know Li Baozhen and Cang Ruanping? It's that style. What do you think?" the blogger continued asked.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ericson suddenly shook his head, frowned and said: "No, we can't compare it like that. Cang's works are more classical, in the style of landscape paintings, with thick tones and a lot of white space. But Chen's works are not. It is a completely modern art, a masterpiece of black and white film. You can think of it as a work of stream of consciousness, but it is definitely not a work of the landscape school."

The blogger was suddenly embarrassed. He still had several questions waiting for Mr. Chairman.I thought that he would say something ambiguous and would not refute in front of the camera even if he disagreed. Unexpectedly, Mr. Chairman didn't care about this at all and directly expressed his inner thoughts.

He even said the words "stream of consciousness", which means that if the video is broadcast, the work "The Crow" is likely to be regarded as the pioneering work of "stream of consciousness" in China.

But then he thought about it, what does this have to do with him? It was enough that he paid the questions and got the answers.

After thinking about it, the blogger followed the question and asked: "So black and white and composition cannot distinguish the style of the photo?"

"Of course, composition is just a tool, and color is just a tool. The photographer's expression and the content of the work are the key. Just like we can't lump all photographers who shoot architecture into one category, that would be too arbitrary. "The Crow" The expression of the work is in Chinese terms."

Mr. Ericson suddenly said a sentence in Chinese: "There is no one like it before, and there will be no one after it."

"Wow! Mr. Chairman, you can also speak Chinese." The blogger shouted excitedly.

"Of course, I love Chinese culture." Mr. Ericson continued with a smile: "And the content of Chen's other work "Perspective Museum" is completely different from "The Crow", which shows that he is a real genius. , Don’t have a definition for genius.”

"Don't have a definition for genius!" the blogger repeated, and then sighed: "Thank you, Mr. Chairman, dear viewers, did you hear that? Our photographer received high praise from the Chairman of the Gesai Organizing Committee! This film This work will definitely leave a mark in the history of photography. Come on, I’ll take you in and have a look!”

"Bang!" The tea cup was knocked to the ground violently. Wang Yiguo sat in the yard, looking at the video data on his phone, filled with anger.

In one day, it received millions of likes and became a hot video today.

He directly praised Chen Pingsheng again.

"What the hell! You took my money and you still praised Chen Pingsheng!" Wang Yiguo became angrier as he thought about it. All the methods he had prepared before were useless and were completely useless.

What's the use of photographers saying a few words? The general public only listens to what the most authoritative people say.

Moreover, this group of domestic critics are definitely not willing to cooperate with me, and may even step on my own feet.The landscape freehand school has been really unpopular in recent years. Except for those core supporters, the photography circle has begun to gradually exclude them.

This is a general trend, an unstoppable trend.

But he couldn't just give up. Wang Yiguo sent messages to several people and asked them to send out all the slanderous words.Anyway, there are people of all kinds these days. As long as someone hates Chen Pingsheng, they will stand by him.

But after these movies were released, no one commented.

Because everyone has seen more serious reports.

China Youth Daily released their new exclusive interview "Chen Pingsheng: Crows are the two sides of my humanity" and it became a hot search.This is also the first time that people across the country have seen an exclusive interview about Chen Pingsheng. Usually they can only know about him through side comments and some rumors. Now they can finally get a glimpse of the true face of the youngest qualifying winner.

In this interview, there is a simple description of Chen Pingsheng from his childhood to college.

Everyone also learned about his experience. He has been fond of cameras since he was a child, and he grew up handling cameras. When he grew up, he applied for a photography major.Then during the holidays, I suddenly had the idea to shoot such a work.

After reading it, I was called a genius.

Of course, Chen Pingsheng did not lie about the situation here. In this world, his father did buy a camera.

It's just that when he was a child, he was just out of curiosity. Although he tried shooting, he couldn't talk about his works at all.However, his family and elders have always praised him for his talent and being a photographer.

It wasn't until I started formally studying photography theory and shooting in college that I discovered that my talent was really poor. I knew everything about composition but knew nothing about it.

Therefore, this experience is completely different when viewed by outsiders and viewed by himself.

After reading this interview, there was suddenly a hot search on Weibo called "Don't have a definition for genius."

It lists some people who are recognized as geniuses in China, such as Wei Shen of mathematics, and Chen Pingsheng is also listed as one of them, sharing this position with all the stars.

This made Chen Pingsheng a little uneasy, because he believed that photography was not as difficult as mathematics.

Artistic creation is also very different from logical thinking, and there are actually countless such comparisons.

But people who eat melons don't think so. In their minds, as long as they win glory for the country, contribute to the country, and are young, they are first-rate geniuses and are worth learning from.

So everyone used their enthusiasm to push this hot search to the forefront.

Chen Pingsheng thought for a while and simply used the large-scale publicity opportunity coupon in his hand. He had always kept it in his hand. He couldn't wait.

And he feels that this opportunity is very good. Through the short video interview with Mr. Chairman, the interview with China Youth Daily, and the hot search, he can ensure that his reputation will be positively blessed.

More importantly, it arouses everyone's curiosity about the work "The Crow".

When the exhibition tours later, everyone will choose this exhibition by default when faced with other choices.

After using it, he raised the camera and pointed it at the street corner.

Today is already the 28th, and it’s not long before the Chinese New Year.Chen Pingsheng's flight ticket has already been purchased and is scheduled for the day before New Year's Eve.

Because he has to take two sets of photos for Film Magazine next, which are required for the publication of the magazine in February and March.

But the difficulty is not high. One is an entrepreneur and the other is a dancer.

They are all fixed shots in fixed scenes, and they are all in the capital. Chen Pingsheng can shoot together, so the speed will be faster.

At this time, his camera lens was framing an old man. It was a quite interesting scene.

The old man in a shirt was sitting on a chair on the street. He had a backpack beside him, a cup of coffee in his hand, and headphones in his ears. He seemed to be listening to music and waiting for something.

Next to him, there was a poster of a woman sitting in a bathtub.

She had bare shoulders and looked a little seductive. Her eyes were looking to the side of the old man, as if she were looking at him through flat paper.

At the same time, she stretched her hand outward as much as possible, and her hand stopped just above the coffee in the old man's hand.

"Click!" Chen Pingsheng captured the scene and then looked at it again.

It’s a perfect photo to include in a decisive moment because everything in the picture is full of coincidences.

This is also a way to make reasonable use of scenes, because many scenes, such as posters and advertisements, contain elements of interaction with the surroundings.If you can use it, you can easily take a great photo.

And in addition to actions, text can also be used.For example, treating people as characters and combining them with the text in the poster is a very brilliant way of shooting.

Chen Pingsheng is walking on the street now, just to choose this kind of scene and record it in his photo album.

The Decisive Moment is almost complete.
