Chapter 21: Cover
She herself thinks it's very beautiful, after all, there are many such scenes in big cities, and everyone is common, and she thinks that common things can resonate more with everyone.
The leader just glanced at it and began to shake his head, which made Sophio start to panic, and the leader briefly commented: "This photo, the composition is not good, the exposure is too low, it seems that the city is dim, only the light of the street lamp, and the background is a little messy, the basic photography principles have been forgotten, not that there are more things in the back will look very full, who took this work, stand up yourself." ”
Sophio stood up slowly, a little embarrassed, not expecting her photo to be criticized.
The leader said a little angrily: "Look for yourself, take a closer look, at the corner of the street, there is a child's hand in a very small place that was photographed in, I don't know if you deliberately photographed it like this or you don't know how to shoot photography at all, you either just shoot the whole child in, the lights are brighter, it won't look gloomy, you see, only one hand is photographed in, and the exposure is so low, only the faint light of the street lamp, so let it out and take a look at it casually, every minute horror film is visual!" ”
Sophio is only embarrassed now, she doesn't dare to say anything, she just wants to highlight the yellowish feeling of the street lamp when she shoots, and she didn't notice the child, and she didn't zoom in and look carefully when she checked the photo, this time something went wrong...
The leader was a little angry, and the staff with the lowest level here would not have this basic composition error, this amateur level was actually embarrassed to put it up, the leader took a closer look at Sophio, and found that the face was very raw, thinking that it was a newcomer, so he said slowly: "We are generally embarrassed to participate in the competition here, because they are self-aware of their own level, since you are the first time to participate, then I will give you a word, you remember it." ”
The leader paused and said: "You must understand the true level of your photography, don't overestimate or underestimate your own level, people, you know yourself!" He waved his hand and motioned for her to sit down.
"Let's move on to the next one..."
Sophio was so ashamed that she thought her photo would catch the attention of all of them, but in fact it did attract everyone's attention, but in another way.
Wei Sixian looked at her blushing face and biting her lip, so she planned to comfort her, patted her back gently, and said softly: "Philo, don't be sad, you are the first time to participate, and you haven't officially entered yet, and you will be fine in the future." ”
Sophio glanced at Wei Sixian, knowing that she was comforting herself, but when she saw her, she remembered that her photo was severely criticized, and she was accused of not being self-aware, but she was just praised and received applause from the audience, which is what she wants!
She was very unwilling, she felt that she could also get such applause, she Wei Sixian just learned so much more than her to compare her, if she also learned, then she would definitely be a hundred times better than her Wei Sixian!
A flame of jealousy ignited in her heart, but she still didn't say anything serious to Wei Sixian, feeling that there was still a place to use her, so she held back the rising anger, nodded and said, "I know, it's me who is too self-conscious, and I don't have much strength but still go up to show my works." ”
Wei Sixian comforted: "It's nothing, as long as there are works, you can show them to everyone, you can study hard and make your strength to the next level, so that you can see your progress next time you show it." ”
Sophio did not want to listen to her comfort, any such comfort was empty words, and would not help her present situation.
But she still put on a smile and said to Wei Sixian: "Well, it's enough to have your support for me, thank you, Xiaoxian, you are really my good sister!" As he spoke, he hugged Wei Sixian.
Wei Sixian only said: "Okay, okay, let's continue to appreciate other people's works!" ”
"Uh-huh."
Soon after, the whole audience was over, and when the show was about to end, the leader came on stage and praised Wei Sixian a few words and told her that Wei Sixian was the first place in the photography guild this time, which made Sophio have a lot of toothache.
After the end, a group of little girls and a few boys gathered around Wei Sixian and rushed to congratulate Wei Sixian.
Surrounded by more than a dozen people, Sophio was squeezed out, causing her to stumble for a while and almost fall, which made Sophio a little more jealous of Wei Sixian.
After a few days, the magazine had to reselect the photo for the cover of the new issue.
Sophio happened to hear about it from Wei Sixian, so she came to the editorial office of the magazine, where two staff members were sitting and selecting photos.
Sophio walked over, slapped the table, put down a photo, and said, "The leader said that the cover of the magazine should be replaced with this one!" ”
One of the staff members glanced at Sophio and felt that his face was raw, and he lowered his head to see the photo, and found that it was a very ordinary photo, they didn't know Sophio at all, and they didn't believe her words, so they said: "Which leader said that?" Who are you? Why haven't we seen you? ”
Sophio didn't expect them to have so many questions, thought for a while and said, "Which leader doesn't say the same thing?" You don't know who I told you, there are often new people coming here to join, and you haven't seen many of them, not to mention how often you two are working in logistics! ”
Sophio had a tough attitude, and she was about to believe her lies.
Of course, the people in the editorial department of this magazine are not so easy to deceive, does Sophio think that this is the first time they have encountered this situation? As she said, there are often new people coming in here, and it is not excluded that there will be people like her who come with their own photos and want to publish them on the cover of the magazine, so this kind of little trick can be seen through at a glance.
One staff member tentatively asked, "Oh? But in fact, the photos we have here are all electronic versions that are screened by the headquarters and then transmitted, and it is impossible for this kind of situation to ask people to send photos, don't you know? ”
Sophio panicked instantly: "I... Of course I do! ”
Suddenly, I was incoherent and didn't know what to say, so I said: "Maybe the leader forgot, then I... Then I'll go back and ask the leader to change an electronic one to you. ”
The two staff members laughed out loud and said: "We have always been an electronic copy, a physical copy of the developed photo, for reference, I see that you just want to make your photos famous, don't lie!" ”
"Do you think this is the first time we've encountered this situation? There are already several newcomers like you who don't know the sky and the earth and have a fluke mentality! ”
"But ah, those newcomers are all timid, and they leaked before we exposed them, and they took the initiative to admit their mistakes, people like you are really bold and have a tough attitude, but this is the first time we have met."
"Eh, I remember you, it seems that the photography guild criticized the newcomer in public, it seems to be called Sophio."
Finding out that she was tricked, Sophio was very angry: "You guys are playing me! You guys... You wait for me! With that, he slapped the table and left in a huff, and the photo still fell on the table.
After the two of them watched Sophio leave, they turned around and made a phone call to report the whole thing to the leader.
When she returned to her place of work, she was still thinking about what the two people had just done to her, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.
Seeing this, Wei Sixian just wanted to come over and ask what was going on, when she heard a meeting held by the photographer from the radio room.
Everyone came to the conference room and sat down, and saw that the leader was already sitting there with a solemn face.
Suddenly, a slap on the table startled everyone.
He went straight to the point and said sharply: "Sophio! Stand up! ”
Sophio didn't expect to call her name at the beginning, and she looked so angry, she stood up a little tremblingly.
"Do you know what you did today? I advise you to admit your mistakes yourself! ”
"I..."Could it be that he just wanted to change the cover of the magazine without authorization?
"What? You don't say yes, do you? Then I'll do it for you! ”
The leader threw the photo on the table and said sharply: "You actually took the photo to the editorial department of the magazine without authorization to ask for the magazine cover to be replaced, and I have long criticized your photo and said that it is not good, you not only make your own opinion, but also use this kind of defective product to make the cover of our magazine, and how much will it affect if you release it!" ”
Wei Sixian was a little shocked, it turned out that Sophio looked like that just now because she did this thing, she didn't expect her to do such a deceitful thing.
Wei Sixian shook her head slightly and sighed, it was her own fault, and she couldn't help Sophio anything.
Sophio fixed her eyes on the photo she had dropped on the table, and when she was dizzy and forgot to take the photo, it turned out to be evidence against her, she instantly began to panic, and said tremblingly: "Lead me... I just want people to see my work..."
"Your work? Do you want everyone to see this kind of photo to understand the difference in your strength? I tell you, never expect photography to make you as dazzling as a popular star, you have a wrong perception of photography from the beginning, and if you really want your photos to be printed on the cover of magazines, it's not okay, but you have to get the strength, really good, in line with the affirmative works to put it on, this is a kind of recognition of your strength by others! The leader said that there was some seriousness in the back, but he only felt that the young people of today were really young and ignorant.
Sophio's face turned crimson by what he said, largely from embarrassment, and the people around her were whispering, so she didn't listen to his words much, and she could only bow her head and admit her mistake in this scene.
"Leader, I'm sorry, I know it's wrong, I'll work hard!"
The leader glanced at her, ignored her, turned his head to look at Wei Sixian who was watching from the side, and thought that Sophio was introduced by her, and immediately became dissatisfied.
