Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 220 Selection of Works by the Yangtze River National Museum (Added update for the helmsman’s favorite wsy)

"Team leader Ren, are these all the giant works?" In the Yangtze River National Museum collection group exhibition room, an old man with gray hair and glasses was asking Ren Fengyu.

Behind him, there are five professionals with Chinese prefixes, all of about the same age.

"Yes, Teacher Ji, please excuse me." Ren Fengyu nodded, and beside him stood team members who had returned from all over the country.

"No problem, leave it to us." Teacher Ji smiled, and the furrow on his face suddenly became three-dimensional.

"Then let's start watching these works, Xiao Li, close the door." After Ren Fengyu arranged the work for the team members, he followed Teacher Ji's footsteps to the first work.

"The first piece was sent by the Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts. It is the work of Teacher Li Qiufeng." Fang Yi next to him introduced the name and author of the work to Teacher Ji and others.

Teacher Ji adjusted his glasses, looked at the painting in front of him carefully, and said, "Well, I know Autumn Wind, and his works have always been pretty good. This painting is very smooth, especially the surging river, which has a continuous meaning. Very good, very atmospheric.”

An old man behind him continued: "And the ink color is also suitable, and the priorities are very particular."

"Well, it looks pretty good." Teacher Ji looked at it carefully from beginning to end, and then said, "But Team Leader Ren, how many works are there in the museum now?"

Ren Fengyu didn't hesitate at all, and directly said a series of numbers: "There are now 37 art works, 15 sculptures, 9 photography works, 21 installation art, and 11 other types of art."

"Yes, I understand." Teacher Ji did not explain why he wanted to know this string of numbers, but everyone present understood that because there were too many art works, and this Yangtze River did not have any eye-catching features, it was lost. Eligibility for selection.

No one on the scene would put things too bluntly, not to mention that if negative comments about the work spread, it would easily make the authors dissatisfied.

So everything was kept silent, Fang Yi had already crossed out this work in his notebook.

The next three works are still in the field of fine arts.

For huge exhibition walls, only painting is the most convenient form, so there are the most works.

But when everyone came to the fourth work, they finally discovered a new world, no longer painting, but photography.

This is a work of 2 meters 2 by 3 meters 3. It is divided into more than a dozen squares of different sizes, and a partial photo of the Yangtze River is placed in each square.

There are normal digital shots, film shots, and still others that are completely synthesized in post-production.

And the forms of expression are also very different, from black and white to color, from direct shooting style to virtual electronic style, and even parts of the Yangtze River in the form of printing and comics.

These expressions blend together and look stunning.

"Whose work is this?" Teacher Ji asked curiously.

"This was collected online, and its creators are all the students in a photography class at Peking University." Ren Fengyu introduced it.

To be honest, he was very surprised when he first received this work, because this work is very modern, mixed, young, and has its own artistic expression.

Moreover, it is a collective creation. If placed in a museum, it is destined to be one of the most conspicuous works.

So he was already considering finding a place to display it separately if this work was not selected.

However, there is no need to worry about it. After seeing this work, Teacher Ji and the experts behind him agreed that it cannot be buried. "Although the creative skills are still very immature, I think it is still worthy of recognition." Teacher Ji clicked on the photo: "The main thing is that the exposure and color of the photo did not achieve a harmonious combination. Compared with other small squares, it is not enough Outstanding."

"In addition, the comic style here is actually a bit too prominent and not harmonious enough." Another expert also expressed his opinion: "If it were changed to a Chinese painting or landscape painting style, I think it would be better."

"And here, it's obviously pop art, but it's placed too high up, which makes the center of gravity of the whole work a little off."

Fang Yi wrote down the comments of the experts one by one. Because of the small square format, this work is the best to modify, so as long as these problems are corrected one by one, there will be no problem entering the museum.

After seeing this, they continued walking forward and saw a huge photo placed next to the wall.

""Yangtze River No. [-]"." Teacher Ji first looked at the name, then took a few steps back and looked at the content of the photo as a whole.

At first glance, there is nothing special. Experts just find this extremely detailed view of the Yangtze River, the mountains stretching on both sides and the endless land to be refreshing.

But then I felt like something was wrong.

Professor Wang, who was the most knowledgeable about photography in the expert group, suddenly said: "There are no artificial traces in this photo."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone suddenly realized what they had not noticed just now.

Experts like them naturally knew the Yangtze River in advance. Not to mention various pictures, they also watched a lot of videos.

The Yangtze River shown in this photo is very unfamiliar. There are no human footprints or high-rise buildings.

It would be okay if it was shot among the lofty mountains, but the extremely flat and straight stretch of coast in the picture makes it impossible to imagine the real Yangtze River.

"This was post-processed, right?" Professor Wang naturally knew this effect, and it was definitely not shot directly.

Ren Fengyu nodded: "This is Chen Pingsheng's work. He took dozens of photos of the Yangtze River in succession, and then intercepted features from them to piece together the historical Yangtze River."

"The Yangtze River in history, this name is good, better than Yangtze River No. [-]." Teacher Ji waved his hand, thinking that the name Yangtze River No. [-] was terrible.

"I think so too, but this can be changed. Teachers, what do you think of this photo?" Ren Fengyu asked with a smile.

"Although I don't know much about photography, I think this theme is very good." Teacher Ji first said: "There is the modern Yangtze River in the museum, there is the Yangtze River in the future, there is also the Yangtze River on paper, and the Yangtze River in the past is missing. Such an intuitive historical photo of the Yangtze River.”

"I personally quite like it."

Professor Wang also expressed his thoughts: "In terms of shooting technology, there is nothing to criticize. Whether it is the lighting or color adjustment, it is very natural and in line with the naturalness of the human eye. So I also vote."

After reading the photos, other professors and experts also nodded, seeming to agree.

"Then let's move on."

There are many more works, and a general selection will be made after reading them.

However, Chen Pingsheng still had time to think about his Yangtze River works at this time, because he was drowsy on the plane back to China.
