Chapter Seventy-Five: Nanjing Road, New Mission!
After breakfast, I took the SLR and went out, and according to the plan, I went straight to Nanjing Road.
Located in Huangpu District, Shanghai, Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is one of the most famous pedestrian streets in Shanghai and even in China. Up to today, Nanjing Road has a history of more than 100 years, and its predecessor is "Parklane Lane", which is the transliteration of the English Parklane. In 1865, the road was officially named Nanjing Road.
Nanjing Road can become one of the most prosperous streets in Shanghai is not without reason, in 1908, Nanjing Road opened tram, after twenty or thirty years, Nanjing Road ushered in the first development in history, the original small stalls and small shops on the road have gradually become large department stores, Peace Hotel, four major companies, international hotels and other buildings are also located here, laying the foundation for the future development of Nanjing Road. In the 90s, with the reform and opening up of our country, Nanjing Road has seen the second development, and new comprehensive commercial buildings have been built, which has made the appearance of Nanjing Road have undergone earth-shaking changes.
I entered Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street from the east side of Nanjing Road, and there is a dark red marble screen at the east entrance, on which there are six big characters of "Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street" inscribed by a great man.
Narrow streets, tall buildings, grey-toned walls and shutters, high ceilings, pointed roofs – that's my first impression of Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street.
If it weren't for the simplified Chinese characters on the signboards, I would even have the feeling that I had come to the streets of Hong Kong that often appear in Hong Kong movies, Nanjing Road in the morning did not seem to wake up, there were still some shops on both sides of the street that were not open, and although there were many people on the street, they did not reach the point of crowding.
When I walked to the middle of the section, I saw a small locomotive in the distance, many people were taking pictures around the locomotive, and when I got closer, I found that it was not a train, but just a car dressed as a locomotive, and there were a few open-air carriages behind it, which looked like the kind of food stalls selling on the street.
Standing next to the locomotive and taking a few photos, because there were too many people, and there were many naughty children constantly approaching the locomotive, I waited for more than ten minutes and didn't find a chance for me to press the shutter to capture only the locomotive and no one, so I could only take a few photos casually and leave regretfully.
Walking forward, I gradually found several pairs of street photographers, mostly a combination of male photographers and female models, the models posed one after another, and the photographers were either standing or squatting, ignoring the curious eyes of the people around them.
I looked at a few pairs of street photography combinations, and found that most of them are half-hanging, photography knows half-pull but is not proficient, I know how to find a good light source but I don't know how to adjust the angle, I know how to make the model keep moving.
I shook my head and guessed in my heart that they might all be hotel photographers.
Hotel photographer is a term coined by accident with my roommates during a night conversation, which probably refers to those photographers who buy SLR only to pretend to be forced and cheat, take pictures in various hotel rooms, and specialize in taking some so-called art photos and portraits.
In addition to these photographers who have regular partners, I have also met some guys who hold SLRs on the road to photograph passers-by, either stopping passers-by who they think can be their models and asking passers-by to pose, or setting up a tripod directly in the middle of the street to take generous pictures of the surrounding scenery and passers-by.
Just as I was staring at a photographer communicating with two girls, a voice in my head that hadn't sounded for a long time suddenly sounded,
"Ding Shanghai Trip Quest released, complete the Trip to Shanghai, and the quest reward body will be strengthened. The side quest Photographer's Road is released, the first ring of the Photographer's Road, find ten strangers on the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, take street photos for them, task rewards, and a chance to draw a lottery. ”
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, "The path of a photographer?" I said system, it's not that I dislike you for not being righteous enough, but you're also a system, and you're also a golden finger, can't you give me a task on the road to the harem with those systems in the novel? What the hell is the path of a photographer! ”
The mechanical synthesizer of the system sounds, "The purpose of the Voyager system is to make the host the best traveler possible, photography skills are a skill that every traveler must master, and the side quest Photographer's Way is designed to allow the host to fully integrate photography mastery skills." The path of the harem, according to analysis, does not help the host to become a traveler. ”
I rolled my eyes, "Hehe, shut up for me." ”
With the sudden task of the photographer's path, I had to delay for a while on the Nanjing Road, looking at the men and women coming and going, I was a little worried, where to find ten people to model for me
Two women holding hands walked in front of them, both with long hair fluttering, looking like they should be best friends. My eyes lit up and I met them, "Two young ladies, are you interested in being my model?" ”
The woman on the left glanced at me, "You're Miss Yacai." ”
The woman on the right looked at me disdainfully, "Be a model for you?" Do you take pictures? ”
I raised the camera in my hand and smiled and said, "Look at what you say, I'm a professional." ”
The disdain in the eyes of the woman on the right became more and more intense, and she brought her poisonous tongue to the extreme, "Professional, you don't bring a broken camera without a lens?" Also, since you are a southerner, don't learn from the northerners, it is uncomfortable to listen to. ”
The corners of my mouth twitched again, "Hehe, girl, you're from the Northeast." Hello girl, goodbye girl. ”
As I spoke, I turned around and was about to leave to find the next person who might be my model, and after I turned to leave, I could still vaguely hear the two girls behind me scolding stupidly.
With this first failure, I decided to expand my target from young and beautiful girls to anyone else, and I quickly stopped an older sister who was holding the child, and said with a smile: "Sister, your child is so cute, can I take a picture of him?" ”
The eldest sister glanced at me, "Nong's brain is wat?" Something is wrong. ”
Before I could speak, the eldest sister took the child and turned around and left.
I touched my nose and shrugged helplessly, feeling a little uncomfortable in my heart.
Sighing and shaking his head, he continued to walk forward to find my model.
After walking a few steps, I saw an uncle, and I stepped forward, "Uncle, can I take a picture of you?" Just take a picture and it won't delay you much. ”
Uncle looked at me, "Take a picture?" Is Nong a liar? ”
I smiled wryly, "I'm just an ordinary tourist, how can I be a liar?" ”
"That's not good, now the liar doesn't have the word liar written on his face, isn't it, Nong may be a liar. It's not all said like that, and people faint when the flash flashes. ”
I looked at the wary uncle and couldn't help but say, "Uncle, you like to read science fiction novels, right?"
"How do you know?"
