Chapter Eighty-Three: Practice

"Although I have to go to the United States the day after tomorrow, I can't take you with me for the time being. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 šŸ”„ However, there is an internet and a phone, and it is not particularly difficult to connect. Let's use the Internet for teaching for the time being. In the future, I will often come to Huaxia to give you face-to-face guidance if I have the opportunity. ā€

"You're a beginner, so you don't need very good equipment to get started, but if you have all the entry-level equipment, it won't cost much. But you're a rich second generation, right, and you should have a lot of pocket money, so you should be fine. ā€

"That's it for now, I'll take you to the equipment after the evening is over. Chen Xuan finished speaking like a cannon on his own, and without waiting for Xiao Yao to answer, he picked up the camera and walked to the background board and shouted, "Lunch time is over, it's time to start!"

Xiao Yao lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smug arc.

Learning photography, Xiao Yao was of course interested, and at first he volunteered to be this assistant, just because he heard about Chen Xuan's cow, and he had this thought. But he didn't want to kowtow to others like when he worshipped Liu Zhongwen as his teacher. Thinking of Chen Xuan's one-sided understanding of Huaxia and his temperament, Xiao Yao was really not sure if he would do such a thing. Now that Chen Xuan forcibly accepted apprentices, his goal was achieved.

Chen Xuan's acceptance of Xiao Yao as a student was his own private matter, and no one in the modeling agency knew that this difficult foreign photographer actually accepted the replacement child assistant as an apprentice after returning the previous assistant. Of course, they only dare to think about the title of children's assistant now, and now the people in the company basically know that Xiao Yao is the little boss of the company.

The representative of the third largest shareholder in the company was replaced, and since then there has been a small boss in the company, and on the first day of the company, the small boss volunteered to be an assistant to the foreign photographer who was as famous as his temper and extremely difficult. This kind of gossip has spread in less than half a day in a modeling agency with a high degree of freedom and most of them are women. Even many people who are not in the company due to work have learned about the news through their respective channels.

There are many people who know that the third largest shareholder of the company is Xiao Siqi, but they really don't know much about his son. So, the gossiping women kept making persistent efforts, and when Xiao Yao was still working overtime with Chen Xuan, those gossiping women began to collect various information about Xiao Siqi's son Xiao Yao through their own resources and channels.

By the time Chen Xuan and Xiao Yao left the company at nine o'clock in the evening, there were stories about Xiao Yao participating in a reality show a few years ago and being called a demon, knowing at least five musical instruments, singing well, participating in Sun Zhihao's drama, and even claiming to know English and French in two foreign languages have been dug up one after another.

The first ones are all found news, but the last one has been confirmed by some of the models who participated in the afternoon shoot. They also came with a piece by the way, the little guy is also very good-looking, especially with the mature and stable temperament that surpasses children of the same age, and the confident and serious appearance at work, it is simply handsome.

is so good in all aspects, the only regret is that he is too young, I heard that he is only eight years old. Some beautiful girls with a bit of literary and artistic style even tampered with Tang poems with resentment, and issued a sigh of "I was born before I was born, and I am old when you were born".

At nine o'clock in the evening, the shooting was completed as planned. After the overtime, Xiao Yao was taken out of the studio by Chen Xuan.

Before the big store closed, Chen Xuan took Xiao Yao to the photographic equipment store and helped Xiao Yao choose entry-level photographic equipment. Of course, Chen Xuan, who believes that Xiao Yao is a rich second generation, will not help Xiao Yao buy it and then give it to him, but fortunately, Xiao Yao has his own small treasury, and it is not a problem to carry the bank card with him. It was almost half past ten in the evening when the two of them picked out the equipment, and Chen Xuan sent Xiao Yao home.

Xiao Yao, who arrived at home, naturally first told Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying about learning photography with Chen Xuan. Xiao Siqi is no longer surprised that Xiao Yao found another teacher and started playing new tricks, the so-called knowing son Mo Ruo's father, even when Xiao Yao offered to be Chen Xuan's assistant, Xiao Siqi already had a premonition and was psychologically prepared for this matter.

Of course, Xiao Siqi has no opinion on Xiao Yao's desire to learn photography, but he just made a little request. The so-called poor photography for three generations, SLR ruined life. Xiao Siqi asked Xiao Yao to learn photography and buy equipment, and he and Ye Jiaying did not pay for the money he bought equipment.

It's not that Xiao Siqi can't afford it or doesn't want him to learn photography, he just wants to take advantage of this to stimulate Xiao Yao and let him write two more songs.

Chen Xuan's shooting plan lasted two days, and as an assistant on the project, Xiao Yao had to go back to the studio the next day. On the first day, Xiao Yao went to the modeling agency with Xiao Siqi, and on the second day, Xiao Yao took a taxi and went by himself.

Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying were very idle at the end of the year, but they were not completely without work, and they both had activity announcements the next day, and Xiao Yao, who was getting older and older, did not trouble them. After getting up in the morning and finishing the workout early, Xiao Yao saw that the two of them hadn't gotten up yet, so he left a word and ran by himself.

After getting into the taxi and reporting the destination, Xiao Yao, who was sitting in the back seat, immediately took out his mobile phone and pretended to operate, and then said into the phone: "Dad, I'm in the car." The taxi license plate number is xxxx, the driver's name is xx, and the work number is xxxx. I'll call you when I get off at the place. The taxi driver, who could hear clearly, looked in the rearview mirror, and then at the number plate on the right, with a constipated expression on his face.

Xiao Yao, who was alone in a taxi for the first time, was still very vigilant, even if he knew martial arts, but after all, his body was still an eight-year-old child, and it was still not enough to deal with an adult man. Although the call was fake, he really made up a text message of the information he just said and sent it to Xiao Siqi.

Xiao Yao knew that Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying were used to vibrating the text messages on their mobile phones when they were sleeping, and the phone rang before it rang. Texting won't wake them up.

After arriving at the destination and paying to get off the bus, Xiao Yao sent Xiao Siqi a message that he had arrived safely, and then entered the studio and started a day's work as an assistant.

After half a day and a night of fermentation, Xiao Yao's news and various materials are almost unknown to everyone in the entire company. Therefore, the models who were scheduled for today's shoot were also prepared. Whenever the shooting entered the break time of replacing the background board and replacing and debugging the lighting, a group of beautiful sisters surrounded Xiao Yao with various snacks.

Being courteous by a big beautiful woman is definitely a pleasure for men, but if you are surrounded by a group of overly enthusiastic big beauties to offer courtesy, that is... Anyway, Xiao Yao can't stand it very much.

After two pauses, Xiao Yao was watched twice, and there were a bunch of delicious snacks around him.

During the break of the third pause in filming, Xiao Yao immediately jumped to Chen Xuan's side, and under the pretext of asking for advice on photography, he stayed by his side and did not leave until the shooting started again, and he did not return to his position until the shooting started again.

In front of the foreign photographer who was invited by this big boss with personal connections, it is said that his fame is as great as his temper, and he is extremely strict when shooting, the model sisters still dare not make a mistake. Xiao Yao easily discovered this, so he naturally made his new master his shield.

Due to the good performance of the newcomer Xiao Yao, the whole shooting was completed earlier than Chen Xuan's original plan. At seven o'clock in the evening, the shooting is all over, and the rest is the post-selection and production. There's no need to worry about this, anyway, now that there is an Internet, even if Chen Xuan goes to the United States, he can still send the post-production film through the Internet.

Zhang Yunxing, who rushed to hear the news, was overjoyed, and after Chen Xuan showed him some samples that had not undergone post-processing, Zhang Yunxing was full of praise for Chen Xuan. Due to the rush to shoot, everyone has not eaten dinner yet, Zhang Yunxing also took the opportunity to propose a dinner, and also arranged evening entertainment programs, and even the beautiful models to accompany him have been selected.

As a well-known European photographer, Chen Xuan, who has already "read countless beautiful things", has no interest in these at all, and refuses on the spot without giving face.

After packing up his equipment, Chen Xuan pulled Xiao Yao away.

Chen Xuan took Xiao Yao to find a restaurant for a simple dinner, and then took Xiao Yao back to the hotel where he was staying. In the living room of the suite, Chen Xuan gave Xiao Yao a two-hour basic photography enlightenment class. From the structure of the camera, the basic composition of photography, to the explanation, explanation, and demonstration of a series of professional terms such as aperture, shutter, and depth of field, Chen Xuan basically did not stop for two hours.

It is very tiring to take high-intensity photos for two days in a row, and I have to fly to the United States tomorrow, and I forced Xiao Yao to take a two-hour class, and Chen Xuan, who sent Xiao Yao away, fell asleep on the bed, and really didn't have the energy to eat, drink and play with Zhang Yunxing.

Chen Xuan is gone, and Xiao Yao doesn't have to go to the modeling agency and studio, but the homework assigned by Chen Xuan to Xiao Yao is still there.

Every photographer is fed with a shutter count. Given that Xiao Yao is still young, Chen Xuan's requirements for Xiao Yao are not particularly high.

Starting from this month, Xiao Yao needs to take at least 2,000 photos every month, pick out the more satisfactory 200 of them, and send them to Chen Xuan by email, and Chen Xuan will check Xiao Yao's progress through the photos in the email and give guidance and reply.

As a beginner in photography, Chen Xuan asked Xiao Yao to start with street photography. Learn how to expose accurately, how to focus quickly and accurately, how to compose shots, and more in natural and fixed light. In addition to shooting by yourself, it is also essential to see other people's works. Before leaving, Chen Xuan also recommended more than ten professional photography magazines to Xiao Yao, asking him to learn to appreciate other people's works.

Xiao Yao's entry-level equipment is just a camera, three lenses, the total cost is not too big, plus more than ten magazines recommended by Chen Xuan, it doesn't cost too much money to buy them all, Xiao Yao's small treasury is completely affordable.

Although photography is a money-burning thing, it can't be ended with a one-time investment, but Xiao Yao has a lot of classic songs in his previous life in his mind, and he can open a gold finger to sell songs if he is really short of money, so Xiao Yao is not worried about the economy.

Usually going to school, Xiao Yao plans to spend only two days on weekends taking pictures, and the other five days are all spent studying. I have to submit 200 photos a month, which is about 50 photos a week. It seems very simple, but the photos that Chen Xuan asked for were not just taken and sent over to make up the numbers. If you want to avoid being scolded, the quality of these photos must be acceptable, at least in line with his status as a student of Chen Xuan.

Xiao Yao predicts that Chen Xuan's estimate of the 10-to-1 ratio should be more reliable, which means that he has to take almost 300 photos a day on weekends, and he can't just press the shutter to deal with errands. This amount of practice is not easy for a primary school student.
