Poverty story after Tokyo actress

"...Hahahaha~ Impossible~ I don't know you yet? You just have strong management skills, and your photography skills are not as good as mine. I also won a third prize in the photography competition in college back then. I have a mug. You There was only one participation award and I brought back a ballpoint pen at the end, hahaha~"

Without any hesitation, Mrs. Shimizu teased her husband mercilessly.

For his wife's teasing, Qing Shui is obviously used to it, just shook his head with a wry smile, his wife... really doesn't give her husband any face.

"So, let's be honest, where did you get that master photographer?"

"Would you believe me if... I said that these materials were all shot by an amateur actor in his 20s who is actually participating in photography for the first time today?"

"..." This time, Mrs. Qing Shui didn't make fun of her husband's answer. On the contrary, because she knew her husband too well, she could feel that what Qing Shui said seemed to be true.

"No way... so talented? Then what kind of actor do you want to be? Just be a photographer, what a great photographer~" Mrs. Shimizu said, making a shutter camera with her hand, looking left and right Turn right.

"This... probably because her talent in acting is stronger than her talent in photography." Shimizu Ken replied with a smile.

"Ah?"

-----------------

"No~"

Jiang Bai gestured a shutter camera with his hand, aiming at Zhenqin who was watching TV, and the eyes of Zhenqin who was pointed at by the "shutter camera" lit up, and immediately posed a pose, asking Jiang Bai to take a "close-up" of himself .

"Crack~"

"Hey, how was the filming going?"

"Hmph~ It's not pretty, the light is not good~"

"Tch~" Looking at Jiang Bai who was still prudish, Zhenqin pouted and laughed, and then asked: "What's the matter? I suddenly feel that you have been absent-minded since you came back today."

"It's nothing... just... a little addictive."

Jiang Bai muttered.

"Addiction? What kind of addiction?"

"Huh~" Jiang Bai raised the "camera" drawn out by gestures, and replied: "I'm addicted to taking pictures."

Chapter 170 Let them stay in the camera

Jiang Bai still remembers that in his previous life, he bought a SLR camera for himself, and added another [-] yuan, which is one of the most valuable things in the family.

Ever since he became interested in photography, Jiang Bai bought a SLR to chase the beauty of light and shadow in life.

At the beginning, the photos I took were not so good-looking, but I could only say that there were no bright spots. I didn’t have the face to wash them out of the photos I took.

However, with the increase in the number of shots, Jiang Bai slowly found the knack of shooting, learned to capture those wonderful moments for a few seconds, learned how to capture those subtle changes in light and shadow, and the photos he took became more and more exquisite. .

Sometimes, he would send his photos to his friends who are deep in photography for comments. At first they would joke with him, but as his photography skills got better and better, the jokes gradually decreased. More and more professional pointers and suggestions.

And he gradually came into contact with the wonderful world of photography.

The more he learns, the more restless Jiang Bai's heart becomes. How much he wants to make a movie himself, but unfortunately, before he is ready to implement it himself, the bad news of the advanced stage of lung cancer reaches his ears.

After rebirth, Jiang Bai didn't pick up his hobby for a long time because he didn't have any equipment at hand and was in debt. However, Jiang Bai, who had been photographing for a whole day under Qing Shui's arrangement, felt that his hobby for shooting was rejected. Stir up again.

After returning home from get off work, without a camera in hand, Jiang Bai always felt that something was missing, and she also missed the old SLR that accompanied her for many years before her death...

.........

"That~hehehe, director~I'm still going to shoot today, right~"

Early the next morning, when Shimizu Jianyi came to the crew, the first conversation he encountered was Jiang Bai rubbing his hands and laughing and asking himself.

"Ah..." Looking at Jiang Bai's flattering smiling face, Qing Shui couldn't laugh or cry for a while, this is... photography addicted?

Not to mention, Jiang Bai is really addicted. Last night, Jiang Bai dreamed that he was taking pictures of Zhenqin.Early this morning, I didn't touch the cool mechanical items in my hands, so I didn't feel used to it.

"Yes, today is still your photography... But I want to remind you, don't go over budget like yesterday. If the budget is too much, then the producer may cancel your photography qualification."

"Oh! Understood! I'll be more conservative today!"

"Well, hopefully..."

This reminds me, I hope Jiang Bai will stop thinking about doing all kinds of tricks like yesterday.Shimizu looked forward to this.

But in fact, he is also a bit conflicted in his heart, because although Jiang Bai Photography can't control the budget, but she can control the quality, at least let her shoot, she can spend money to produce excellent results, which is what you get for what you pay for.

But the budget overrun is really fatal. The investor has already set the budget, and Qingshui has already allocated it extravagantly, but he still can't stand Jiang Bai's squandering.

"Eh... plus budget?"

"Ah, yes, I hope that the investor can increase the investment budget of the series. So I want to discuss it with you, the producer."

"Hmm... plus the budget... the budget of the crew is not low, right? There are a total of 24 episodes, and the investment is 4 million. With such a large investment, the production of one episode is more than 1000 million yen. Such a large budget , isn't that enough?"

"Forehead……"

Kenichi Shimizu couldn't help but froze. It's really hard to refute. According to the normal manga investment, except for the Hoshino Consortium, a company with a lot of money and likes to spend a lot of money on high-quality products, the general budget in the industry is 1-6 million Yen A manga.

With a budget of [-] million yen in the same category, the parasitic beast has a sufficient budget. With such a sufficient budget, it is necessary to continue to increase the budget, which inevitably means that the lion will open its mouth.

However, Shimizu obviously would not give up directly. He said: "Mr. Producer, as you know, we have learned from the past. The old version of "Parasite" live-action TV series was due to a wrong estimate of the budget, which led to tight funds in the later stage. It can be regarded as a semi-finished product."

"Let's make a good comparison. How does our current investment compare with the investment of the old version? The investment of the old "Parasite" was 2.9 million, and ours is now 4 million. Rise, as well as technical iterations, our current budget is not much more generous than the old version of "Parasite."

"But our goal is to surpass the old version. Mr. Producer, you don't want the current audience to compare the two versions and find that there is not much difference between the two, do you? Will the audience be satisfied with such a finished product? Divide the goods."

"Therefore, I hope that investors can increase their budget investment. Even if it cannot be used up in the end, it can also ensure that there will be no shortage of funds in the later stage."

Shimizu's statement made sense, the producer thought for a while, nodded, and felt that it was indeed reasonable, so he agreed to Shimizu's application.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with the investor and try to increase the budget. But I'm curious. I've been working with you for so long, and it's the first time I've met you complaining about the budget. You're not always good at controlling. Is there a budget?"

Production

"Ah... this is not for the production of high-quality goods, is it? You see, the production crew under the Hoshino Consortium is like this. The initial investment of one billion yuan is just for the production of high-quality goods. We also want to produce high-quality goods, and we can't deduct them, right? .”

Regarding this inquiry, Shimizu Jianyi smiled and dealt with it, and the producer undoubtedly agreed with this statement.

Seeing the producer go away, Qing Shui breathed a sigh of relief, and he couldn't help thinking, should he continue to use Jiang Bai?

Although Jiang Bai's photography ability is very outstanding, but once she gets serious, she really has no idea about budget control.

Jiang Bai's photography method is completely to increase the quality from TV series to movies. Similarly, the budget has also changed from TV series to movie level.

Although Shimizu has already suggested that the producer propose an increase in the budget to the investors, Shimizu also knows that adding up to 5000w would be a big deal, and these investors just hope that their crews can do big things with a small amount of money.

This is pure nonsense, the situation of taking advantage of small money to do big things is almost enough once in a while, and it depends on the right time, place and people.

In most cases, the result of spending a small amount of money to do big things is that the money is spent and the job is not done.If you want to do big things, but don't want to spend money, what can you do?

In comparison, the Hoshino Consortium, which is also a major film and television industry leader, is deeply aware of this principle. If you want to produce good works, you have to spend a lot of money. In recent years, in film and television investment, it has directly surpassed its peers.

The final result is that despite the fierce competition in film and television productions in the industry, the Hoshino Foundation can always stand in the first echelon and never fall behind, while other companies are like riding a roller coaster.

Seeing Jiang Bai in the crew with the technicians of the crew, designing the camera position and lighting at the same time, watching Jiang Bai's behavior of squandering film in four or five camera positions, Qing Shui couldn't help but smile bitterly.

For creators like Jiang Bai who spend a lot of money to make good products, it is better to go to a company like Hoshino Consortium...

.........

When people are working hard, time always passes quickly. Jiang Bai feels that he hasn't filmed a few scenes, and it's time for a noon break.

Warm up the large bento she had prepared for herself in the microwave. Jiang Bai ate lunch and rummaged around in the photographic equipment room. When she was communicating with the staff this morning, she happened to hear that there was a DSLR in the crew that no one wanted. The camera is in the equipment room.

This instantly aroused Jiang Bai's interest.

"Hey, Mr. Yamada, where is the SLR camera you mentioned?"

"It should be on the side of shelf No. [-], Miss Miyano, you should find it if you look for it."

Reminded by the staff, Jiang Bai found a small SLR camera in the second mezzanine of the sixth rack.

I heard that this SLR camera was bought as a prop when the crew was filming a specific scene. The original idea was to rent a SLR camera, but the crew was not short of money at the time, so I thought about buying one. Anyway, it’s a thing for taking pictures. Maybe there are other times to use it.

However, it turns out that this SLR camera is used once and is never needed again, and it has been stored in the warehouse ever since.

But this made Jiang Bai pick up a bargain. Looking at the small SLR camera in his hand, Jiang Bai repeatedly tried to rub it. The cool and frosted touch of the camera made Jiang Bai suddenly feel that his hand addiction was satisfied. .

In terms of feel, Jiang Bai was very satisfied with this SLR. She didn't even care about eating, so she started debugging with this SLR.

"Well, Miss Miyano, if you don't know how, I can..."

The staff on one side were thinking about whether to help, but watching Jiang Baixing turn on the SLR camera smoothly, and then adjust the calibration, resolution, precision, and proficiency as if he had been immersed in this field for decades, he understood that the assistant director is this As a middle-aged veteran, I am a bit self-indulgent.

After Jiang Bai adjusted the camera, she held it in front of her eyes. Through the mirror, she looked at the fine picture from the lens and felt very satisfied for a while.

Randomly looking for an angle, Jiang Bai shouted to Yamada who helped him find the camera: "Mr. Yamada, look here."

"Ok?"

"Crack!"

Before Yamada could react, Jiang Bai pressed the shutter, listening to the unique clicking sound of SLR camera photography in his ear, and the vibration caused by the flipping of the internal lens. This is the feeling. Jiang Bai felt the familiar feeling came back. .

When taking pictures with a SLR camera, there will always be an obvious clicking sound and the vibration caused by the internal mechanical flipping. It is these two characteristics that make Jiang Bai feel that shooting with a SLR camera has an inexplicable sense of ceremony.

The instant crisp sound and the vibration between the palms seem to tell you again that beauty will always focus on this moment.

Jiang Bai smiled and took the camera away from his cheek, and glanced at the photo taken. In the photo, Yamada turned his head to look at Jiang Bai, with a trace of doubt and surprise on his cheek, and Jiang Bai accurately reflected the change of expression at that moment. Captured, so that the details that usually flash by, are accurately preserved in permanent photos.

"Hahaha, Mr. Yamada, do you want to take a look?"

"Eh? Let me see... um..." Looking at himself in the camera, Yamada couldn't help but blinked in surprise, and said with emotion: "Miss Miyano, your camera capture ability is really strong. Instant expressions can be captured by you.”

"Well~ After all, I have been filming for many years."

"Can you send me this photo later?"

"Eh? Yamada-san, do you want it?"

"Yeah, it's a good shot."

"Really? I'm worried that Mr. Yamada won't be happy if I take pictures of you like this. Hahaha."

"How is it possible~ I am a student of photography. I still know whether the photos are good or not. This photo is very interesting! Speaking of it, for so many years, except for traveling, few people will take pictures of me at work. Ah...don't say it, he's pretty handsome~"

Yamada smiled and touched the short beard on his chin, and said in a slightly smug way.

But it was this unintentional sigh that made Jiang Bai suddenly have an idea. Workers like Mr. Yamada are the most important cornerstone of the entire industry, but they can never appear in the lens with the camera in hand...

Although I can't let them appear in the lens of the TV series, I can make them stay in the lens of the camera forever...

Just now I was wondering what to take after I got the camera. Now, Jiang Bai has the answer.

Chapter 170 IX She's Too Good

"Miss Hirano, come, look here~"

"what?"

With a crisp sound, before Hirano Ling came back to his senses, Jiang Bai had already saved the image of Hirano Ling in the camera.

"Eh? What is this?"

Hirano Ling, who still didn't understand the situation, walked up to Jiang Bai curiously, looked at the camera in her hand, and asked.

Jiang Bai replied: "This is the camera I found from the props group. I want to take some pictures with this camera."

"Take a picture? That's a good relationship! Give me a picture~ I'll show you the poss~"

As soon as she heard that she was going to take a picture, Hirano Ling immediately became interested, took a few steps back, and put on a cute and energetic pose, waiting for Jiang Bai to take the picture.

And Jiang Bai smiled and replied: "I have already taken your photo."

As he spoke, he called out the photo he had just taken.

"Huh? Already filmed?"

Curiously, Hirano Ling came forward to observe it. On the display screen, Hirano Ling looked back at the camera with a subtle smile. Because of the sudden turning of her head, her hair fluttered slightly in mid-air. The slightly fluffy hair, There is a slight smile on the cheek, and the curiosity and agility in the blink of an eye.

Anyone who sees the expression at this moment can't help but say: "Wonderful~"

"Oh! Is this the expression I made just now? I will make this expression again?!" Hirano Aya looked at the picture of herself on the monitor with surprise, she couldn't imagine that she could actually be unconscious Under such circumstances, make such a beautiful expression.

In other words, she couldn't think of anyone who could capture her fleeting expression so accurately.

"How did you do that!? Can you teach me how to take a picture!?"

Immediately, Hirano Aya was filled with curiosity and thirst for knowledge. If she also had such photography skills, she would be able to become the center of attention among girlfriends in an instant if she occasionally showed her skills~
