Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 226 Who is she? (joint chapter)
The second interviewer was a girl who arrived 15 minutes after Yu Ji left.

Chen Pingsheng read her resume and knew that she had worked as a kindergarten teacher before, and photography was just a hobby for her.

The reason why I chose her for the interview is because her works contain many rare emotions of children.

This perspective is great and allows you to capture something different.

This was the first time Chen Pingsheng had seen a similar subject matter, so he was so interested in choosing her as an interviewer.

But this girl was not suitable to be an assistant. After chatting with her, Chen Pingsheng became more sure of this matter because she had a boyfriend in South China and they were going to get married next year.

This girl just wants to find a slightly more casual job and use her hobbies before getting married.

So this is completely inconsistent with Chen Pingsheng's requirements.

After all, no man wants his girlfriend to travel around on business with another man.

Therefore, Chen Pingsheng did not chat with her in depth, but talked with her about creation.

"I think you can try to make a work about children." Chen Pingsheng said this: "There are very few works on this subject in China, basically none. If you can make it, I can help you contact the publisher. .”

"Really?" the round-faced girl, a former kindergarten teacher, said in surprise.

"Well, of course. But Zhang Chu, the quality of the photos is still the most important. Looking at these photos, only these three have the best light ratio and shadow control. So if you want to take this series, you must make all The photos are at the same level." Chen Pingsheng used a tablet to point out areas for improvement.

"Okay, okay, no problem, Teacher Chen!" Zhang Chu's face was full of enthusiasm, and the emotion of being affirmed by the famous photographer made her heart feel hot.

Maybe I can also become one of the winners of the qualifying competition?
"My email address will not change. When you finish shooting, you can send it to me and we will discuss this work in detail." Chen Pingsheng doesn't mind helping other passionate photographers, because he can't stand alone and wants to change. The status of the Chinese photography industry in the world cannot be achieved by just one person.

"Ok!"

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Chu finally thanked Chen Pingsheng several times before leaving.

Chen Pingsheng sat on the chair and felt that it would be difficult to find the assistant if this situation continued.

He didn't know who the girl he contacted directly by phone was, but if she came today, Chen Pingsheng would know her identity immediately.

Because he originally scheduled only seven interviewees.

The subsequent interviews were uneventful. Three people in a row were subject to various conditions. Some people were fine when looking at the works, but the interview process was full of loopholes. They didn't even understand some basic photography knowledge.

Chen Pingsheng felt that he was either biased or used other people's photos.

Such people were all rejected, so by five o'clock in the afternoon, he had not found a real candidate.

However, this was an impromptu interview, so it was normal that I was not found.

The penultimate person today is a boy, his name is Fang Ze.

Most of his works capture the sense of lines in the city, which are very similar to what Chen Pingsheng once posted in the film industry. His use of colors has his own style, with a relatively low texture.

And he can also speak eloquently about photography. He has his own experience in using popular models and film.

The same is true for lighting. He is very good at lighting, which is undoubtedly the greatest competitiveness for the position of assistant.

So Chen Pingsheng had a great time chatting with him, and even wanted to confirm on the spot that it was him.

However, out of expectations for the follow-up personnel, he still retained his opinion, but told Fang to wait for his notice in three days.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Pingsheng finished interviewing the last boy.

Unfortunately, the girl he had agreed with on the phone did not show up.

Chen Pingsheng was a little confused. Could it be that he backed down after seeing the request he posted on the film circle?

But how could a person with such action and courage stop his goals just because of this little thing?

Or is she already here today?

Chen Pingsi looked at the resume in his hand and found that this person did not exist.

Zhang Chu and another girl's voices did not match those on the phone, and their personalities had nothing in common.

It seems that he may have really given up.

Chen Pingsheng thought this and left the studio.
-
The next day, he arrived early in the morning to prepare for today's interview.

There were also seven interviewees today. Chen Pingsheng looked at the resumes and found that there were two that he was very optimistic about, and they were both girls.

One is Huang Liao who was mentioned before, and the other is Zhen Min who came out of the photography studio.

The former's shooting style is very popular among Chen Pingsheng, and he is very hopeful to become another competition winner in China.

The latter has rich experience, but the photos he takes are more commercial.

But we have to talk about the details later. Chen Pingsheng put away the cups on the table and suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Hello, is this the Photography Discovery Studio?"

He turned around and replied, "Yes."

The interview started again.

"Next person!"

"Hello, Teacher Chen, I'm Zhen Min." After interviewing two people in succession, Zhen Min finally came.

She dresses to stand out and has a hot figure.Short skirts, short sleeves, sparkly eyeshadow and colorful manicure.To be honest, she was very different from what Chen Pingsheng imagined. He deeply doubted whether such nails could be photographed.

"Hello, please introduce yourself." Chen Pingsheng said, taking advantage of her introduction, he looked at his resume again.

That's right, it's this girl.

He looked at the photos she provided again. They were all portraits, and there was even a selfie of herself.

No, not right.

Chen Pingsheng took a closer look and found that he had overlooked one thing.

The lighting and angle of this selfie are very consistent with the commercial photography process. You can tell at a glance that it was made by professionals. If you ignore the other photos, Zhen Min's identity here is more like a model.

So after Chen Pingsheng waited for Zhen Min to introduce it, he suddenly asked: "How did you take this photo? Why did you choose to use metering?"

The photo he was referring to was a close-up shot of the upper body of a male model.Sure enough, such an unconventional questioning method suddenly made Zhen Min panic.

"Ah, um, uh." She thought for a while, then hesitantly said: "I think this looks good, and then the light meter can brighten his face..."

Obviously the wrong answer, the side light highlights the outline clearly.

Chen Pingsheng knew that she must have faked it and was not a photographer at all, but he didn't understand the purpose of such fakery.

He could only say tactfully: "I'm sorry, I think your professional knowledge may not be up to standard, and you may not be suitable for this assistant position."

"Teacher Chen..." Zhen Min suddenly called him in a high-pitched voice: "I know that my professional ability is not very good, but my life service ability is very good. Isn't it that you are looking for an assistant to find a caring companion?"

Chen Pingsheng was speechless. It had to be said that this posture and figure made people really itchy.

But he still had to choose to refuse, because he was out of touch with low-level taste... Ahem, okay, just because Chen Pingsheng was more practical.

He is not a rich man or a company boss, and he still needs others to take care of his life.

The assistant is there to help him do things. Whether it is lifting the light stand or adjusting it in post-production, it is a very tiring and boring job.

If it were the girl in front of me, she would have complained endlessly just to help move the tripod.

How can I do a good job in photography when I am with such a person?
So he decisively and harshly rejected this weak and pretentious girl and sent her out.

After Zhen Min left, Chen Pingsheng sighed, feeling that this interview was really full of twists and turns, and everyone was there.

Needless to say, she was definitely not the girl who called.

With a certain sense of expectation, Chen Pingsheng interviewed the remaining people, but until the end, he still could not find the anonymous girl.

"The last one is Huang Liao." He looked through her resume. He had at least seen some actual works, so he knew there would be no surprises.

But when they actually met, Chen Pingsheng found that he was still a little surprised.

Although he had not met this girl in person, he also learned about her appearance through Simu's mouth.

I heard that a girl from Xiaojiabiyu has short hair that reaches her neck and is good-looking.

But the one who appeared in front of him now had hair shorter than Felin's ear-length hair. She looked clean and neat. At the same time, she only wore the most basic makeup between her eyebrows and eyes, without any shiny chips or eye shadow.The most important thing is that she is wearing a black strapless short-sleeved shirt. The toned outline of her arms and the muscle lines on her calves are full of powerful beauty.

She has transformed from Xiaojiabiyu into a fitness girl, the kind of hot girl who can compete with many men in the gym by lifting weights.

"Hello, Teacher Chen, my name is Huang Liao." She smiled sweetly, stretched out her hand to shake Chen Pingsheng's hand, then turned and entered the conference room.

Chen Pingsheng was behind her and found that the outline of her back also had enough traces of training.

I didn't expect that in just one year, she would undergo such a big change.

If he could go back to a year ago now, he would have no doubt that when Chairman Fu said something that questioned his work, this girl would punch him down on stage.

After entering the conference room, Chen Pingsheng sat down and chatted with Huang Liao.

"I saw your recent works in the film industry, and I like them very much." He praised first, and then said: "There is no need to introduce myself. I actually want to ask you, why are you applying for an assistant?"

Huang Liao's expression was always very natural. She looked directly into Chen Pingsheng's eyes and said, "Because I hope to find a unique photography path."

"Tell me more specifically?" Chen Pingsheng asked.

"First of all, I have always liked photography, but I have never found a suitable direction before. And many people don't understand my shooting method. Fortunately, Teacher Chen helped me out." Huang Liao said in the past, A trace of memory flashed in his eyes, and soon disappeared: "Secondly, I like Teacher Chen's works very much. I think your works are very versatile. Whether it is black and white or color, you can control them well. I want to learn from you , how to capture the images in your heart.”

"Finally, I think you must have a lot of resources. I hope that through you, I can also access these resources and become a real photographer."

"Yes." Chen Pingsheng appreciated her frankness and continued to ask: "Then what do you think is your advantage over others?"

"I'm ready." Huang Liao replied: "I accept the salary, the business trip, and the hard work. If I successfully apply for the job, I can rent a house nearby in South China."

It must be said that Chen Pingsheng did not expect such a straightforward answer.

He has begun to doubt that he is really so lucky to meet such an assistant who is not afraid of hard work and tiredness.

This enthusiasm even aroused a sense of guilt in Chen Pingsheng's heart, and he advised: "Actually, this assistant's job is mainly to do some chores, such as setting up lights. And I can't guarantee what you want to learn. Said I can definitely teach you. Besides, sometimes this job will be very busy, but sometimes it may be very free."

He tried to persuade Huang Liao not to be so obsessed with this job.

But he obviously underestimated Huang Polygonum.

She smiled and said, "Actually, I don't need your teaching, because I can learn it on my own. As long as you take me with you when shooting, that's fine."

"Okay." Chen Pingsheng spread his hands, changed the subject, and began to ask her some specific practical details.

The two chatted for a full hour before the interview ended.

Chen Pingsheng held Huang Liao away with one hand on the door frame, but he was deeply entangled in his heart.

No matter in terms of attitude, shooting style, aesthetics or ability, Huang Liao is more suitable to be an assistant than Fang Ze.

But because of this, Chen Pingsheng could see that she had strong expectations for this job.

However, he didn't know if he could respond to this expectation.

This is where he struggles.

If you were recruiting disciples in ancient times, the better your attitude would be, the more popular you would be, but this is just a job.

Chen Pingsheng sighed silently, feeling that his burden was too heavy and he always wanted to take responsibility.

This may also be his characteristic, and he can't change it.

As for the girl he contacted on the phone, Chen Pingsheng had some guesses in his mind, but he felt he couldn't say for sure.

At the same time, Huang Liao, who walked out of the studio, was far from as calm as she had been during the interview.

She leaned against the wall, took a deep breath, then tilted her head, stretching out her fingers to calculate her performance today.

"Answer, there should be no problem; there is no problem with attitude; there is no problem with ability. This assistant should be mine!" She laughed to herself a few times, and then walked out of the school.

But as she walked, she became a little distressed: "Where can I find a cheap house? Alas!"
