Chapter 202: Artistic Photographs and Costumes
After the shortage of film in the scenic spot, the income of the photography business has been greatly reduced, and the number of people who have visited the scenic spot has decreased.
The leaders of the scenic spot had just finished buying a motorcycle and were about to imitate Zhu Xiaohua to take pictures of tourists, but his subordinate Sanlu closed down after only two days of shooting. First, there is a shortage of film, and second, the number of tourists is decreasing, and the business is not as good as before.
Dian Sanlu often scolded their leaders behind their backs for being a big fool, learning from Zhu Xiaohua's management, but instead of making any money, he lost a motorcycle.
The female staff said: "Since buying one box is not much different from buying a hundred boxes, then I will buy one box first." At least it's convenient to go back and hand it over. ”
She decided to buy a box first and go back to see the leader's opinion, and by the way, she conveyed Zhu Xiaohua's opinion to the leader.
Zhu Xiaohua had no opinion, he took out a box from a box of color film and handed it to the female staff. The staff member paid twenty-five dollars, took a box of Konita film, and turned away.
In the afternoon, passers-by stopped to watch. Someone pointed to the photo of the actress Bai Suzhen in the window and asked, "These colorful are postcards, right?" ”
It is still difficult for people in this era to imagine that there are such beautiful photos in real life.
Not only does the photo of Bai Suzhen look like a postcard, but even the soldiers holding signs and soldiers holding explosive bags look like characters from TV dramas, and it is impossible for them to exist in real life.
Zhu Xiaohua saw that these people were interested in the photo, and stepped forward with a smile to explain: "This is not a postcard, this is an artistic photo on the stage." I took it in the Zhengcheng People's Auditorium. ”
One of the women pulled a little girl who was about six or seven years old and said, "Art photos, what are art photos, can you take such beautiful pictures of my daughter?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua smiled: "Of course, as long as there is clothing, your daughter can shoot so beautifully." ”
The woman immediately stopped and seriously thought about Zhu Xiaohua's words.
It costs twenty dollars to take a color photograph, which is clearly beyond her acceptance.
She groaned for a moment.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, take a picture of my daughter." ”
She counted out twenty yuan from her pocket and handed it to Zhu Xiaohua. Twenty yuan, a thick wad, all change, there are one, two, five, one cent, at least twenty or thirty large and small bills.
Zhu Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, he could naturally take pictures, but now he has no clothes.
He didn't expect that when he said casually, this woman actually took it seriously.
Zhu Xiaohua had to explain embarrassedly: "I said that this kind of art photo can be taken, but it can't be taken today." At the moment, there is no such costume in the store. Can you change it to a different photo? For example, the thrush wipes the red face, and the bottle of plastic flowers is placed in front of the table, this kind of life photo. ”
Women have heard of this kind of life photo, which is a family sitting at a table, painting eyebrows, painting red faces and red lips, and putting a landscape background board behind them, even if the shooting is finished. The result is also very good.
The woman's heart was a little moved, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
"I don't want it, I'm going to take art photos of Bai Suzhen." Her daughter tugged at her sleeves.
The little girl was obviously also attracted by the art photos in the shop window.
All of a sudden, I lost interest in other photos.
Zhu Xiaohua was a little embarrassed, since he promised to shoot it, but now he has no way to shoot it. He also felt that he had promised too quickly.
Another pedestrian, who looked like a young female student, asked, "Can I really take an art photo, I'll take one too?" ”
The other two young beauty-loving women also stopped and looked at Zhu Xiaohua with inquiring eyes, obviously interested in "art photos".
Zhu Xiaohua saw that so many people were interested in art photos, and faintly felt that he might have found the right way.
His instincts told him that there could be a big business opportunity here.
Zhu Xiaohua said: "You can take artistic photos. At the moment, the costumes are not ready, so you can come back in two days. ”
These people heard Zhu Xiaohua say this, some of them left, and some of them continued to stay and ask questions.
Someone asked if the price of art photos would increase.
Some people ask, do you need makeup and hairstyle for art photos?
Some people also asked if art photos could be taken at night.
Zhu Xiaohua patiently gave answers one by one.
It wasn't until they had nothing more to ask that they left. Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Zhu Xiaohua: "Boss, hurry up and prepare your clothes." We'll come back another day. ”
After seeing these people leave, Zhu Xiaohua asked his younger brother and sister: "Is there a more famous tailor in this Los Angeles?" ”
My sister Zhu Xiaoyan tilted her head and thought for a moment, and said: "I heard my mother say that Wang Mazi in Los Angeles is a tailor who is very skilled, and he can't see the seams in the sewn clothes, not even the needlework. ”
Zhu Xiaohua suddenly had an idea in his heart.
He decided to go to this tailor Wang Mazi.
Zhu Xiaohua picked out two photos, inquired about the location of Wang Mazi's tailor shop, and rushed over.
When I came to Wang Mazi's tailor shop, I saw a man in his forties crouching on the desk of the sewing machine. He has two eyes, one large and the other small. The left eye was only half the size of the right eye, as if it would never be opened.
Zhu Xiaohua stepped forward, and after greeting each other, he pointed to the person in the photo and asked, "Can this kind of stage costume be made?" ”
The tailor took a closer look at Bai Suzhen's stills and said, "I'm only good at making tunics and school uniforms, and I haven't done this kind of clothes." ”
Most of these stage costumes are custom-made, and there are very few people in Los Angeles who can do them. The probability of finding such a tailor in a short period of time is extremely low.
Zhu Xiaohua said: "It's all sewn up with fabrics and threads, if you try to do it, see if you can make it?" ”
The tailor took the picture and looked at it for a moment, and said, "Unfortunately, there is no real thing, if I knew the size of the clothes, maybe I could try it." ”
Zhu Xiaohua naturally doesn't have a physical object on hand, and if there is a physical object, he doesn't need to come to someone to customize it, just take it out and use it directly.
Zhu Xiaohua took out five large unity banknotes and handed them to the tailor, saying, "This is a deposit, if you can make it, the price is as you like." ”
The tailor saw the brand new bill, but did not take it.
The tailor said, "Fifty dollars is too much." I try my best, but I don't always get it. So I'll only charge twenty for the fifty yuan. It's like buying fabric money. ”
He counted out two bills and pressed them against the desk of the sewing machine.
Looking at the gorgeous costumes in the photos, the tailor seemed a little excited, and it was a challenge for him to make such a fairy costume.
The tailor brought white chalk and a wooden ruler and drew on a piece of fabric.
Zhu Xiaohua saw that the tailor was devoted, and it was inconvenient to disturb him anymore, so he decided to come back in two days.
During this time, he was allowed to concentrate on creating his costumes.
