043 Pearl of the Orient
After Lin Mushuang received an honorable assignment from his father, he began to devote himself to the study of painting and design.
This incident made Ankang's uncle regret it very much, did he talk about it too early? Originally, it was just to let her daughter not worry about learning to paint and prepare for the high school entrance examination with peace of mind, but it backfired.
However, it can also be seen that my uncle is indeed very excited and wants to share what he wants to do and his feelings with his family.
Lin Mushuang still goes to Lujiazui once every two weeks, and Cheng Gong, who teaches painting, is still as enthusiastic as before. Of course, Cheng Gong also understands that this little girl who loves to learn to paint is now facing the high school entrance examination, so the schedule and learning progress are mainly accommodating to this little girl.
Although his uncle no longer asked An Kang to accompany Lin Mushuang to Lujiazui to learn painting, he was gracious once. Because there was a special arrangement that time, Cheng Gong wanted to take Ankang and Lin Mushuang to visit the construction site. Of course, such a thing as visiting the construction site only needs to take Lin Mushuang, a little girl who is interested in design, and there is no need to invite Ankang, a person who listens to the lines and colors like sitting on pins and needles. But this time the difference is that the Oriental Pearl is also in the planning of a visit. And Cheng Gong said that maybe he could take the two of them to the tower that had not yet been built.
Although the Oriental Pearl Tower is still a few days away, it is already the tallest building in Pudong according to the current height, and it can even be said to be the top of Shanghai.
Since Cheng Gong invited Ankang to visit with him, how could his uncle stop Ankang from going. This kind of opportunity even my uncle himself didn't want to let go.
My uncle was very concerned about this matter, and he went to buy a plate of batteries and four boxes of film. Replace the batteries on both the camera and the flash. The unfinished film in the camera was rolled up to the end, and the new film was loaded on.
"You guys go up to the TV tower, take some pictures and come back. Take two more photos of one scene, and if you only take one shot, you are afraid of exposure. Don't be afraid to waste film. ”
One of these two rolls of film is Kodak's and the other is Fujifilm's. Kodak and Fujifilm will have slightly different color effects. Since it's four volumes, it's naturally the same two volumes, so no matter how you shoot it, half of the effect will be fine.
Ankang took the camera and couldn't put it down. It's not the camera that he loves, it's the film. Although my uncle's family is in good economic condition, four rolls of film are not cheap. Usually, Ankang and Lin Mushuang go out with cameras to buy domestic film. When domestic film is cheap, it costs 9 yuan, and imported film costs at least 22 yuan.
Because I was afraid of wasting film, I took a photo like a movie, first find the background, then pose the characters, then run back and forth to see if the characters and the background are coordinated, and then metered and focused. By the time these busyes are over, the people who are photographed will already be impatient. Then you have to persuade the other party to stay still, and then have a set of posing, metering, and focusing. Finally, hold your breath and press the shutter like a sniper. Every photo was taken with such care.
This made Ankang think of a story-
The rich man ordered his son to learn books. There are countless teachers. Although the son is not stingy with pen and ink. It didn't work out. The rich man suffered. One day. There are no famous teachers. He said that he taught his son well. The rich man rejoices. Please. The teacher said that I must use my paper to learn. I'm expensive paper. If it doesn't work out. The rich man thinks he has a lot of money. Re-apply. The day of the study. The teacher took the paper and showed it to the rich man and his son. Said one tael of silver. The rich man was shocked, how expensive the paper was. However, the father supervised it, and the son had no choice but to write. Be cautious. One year is the completion of the course.
Although this film is not as good as a roll of silver or two, it is indeed not cheap. Ankang always thought of the story of the rich man's son who forced him to practice calligraphy seriously with a piece of paper for one or two pieces of silver, and wondered why this kind of thing happened to him and why it would not work. No matter how cautious you are about film, the photos you take are always on the verge of being miserable.
Now my uncle actually said not to be afraid of wasting film, which of course will make Ankang feel a sense of happiness and revenge.
As soon as he arrived in Lujiazui, Ankang couldn't wait to turn on the camera and take pictures from place to place, for fear that he would not be able to complete the task assigned by his uncle.
Although Lin Mushuang has an unreasonable interest in those masculine construction sites, An Kang is not interested at all. After taking more than a dozen photographs, he lost interest in taking pictures, and he looked up at the temple-like building in the distance, hoping to enter the construction site of the Oriental Pearl sooner.
It wasn't until late in the afternoon that Cheng Gong was allowed to take An Kang and Lin Mushuang into the construction site of the Oriental Pearl. When standing in the elevator and going up, Ankang and Lin Mushuang didn't dare to look down, and even their breathing stopped.
"How? It's the first time you've come back to such a high place, right? Cheng Gong asked.
"Hmm" "Hmm," the two men replied.
"What do you think?" Cheng Gong asked again.
Lin Mushuang closed her mouth and didn't speak.
Cheng Gong looked at Ankang again. Ankang's mouth opened, and he said for a long time: "It's good to be alive!" ”
"What? Hahaha. Don't be nervous, it's almost there. ”
When An Kang and Lin Mushuang walked out of the elevator, their hearts trembled with their legs.
The weather was incredibly good, and the wind was incomparably strong on this day. Especially at an altitude of hundreds of meters, it seems that a strong wind can blow people into the abyss below.
Cheng Gong took the two to a place they thought was safer and gave them directions.
The Huangpu River makes a 180-degree turn in Lujiazui. Looking over from the Oriental Pearl, the Huangpu River hugs the baby in her arms like a mother's arm. That baby is Pudong. At this time, Pudong is really like a newborn baby, immature and simple.
However, Pudong has received sufficient sunshine, abundant rain and dew, and abundant nutrients, and it has begun to radiate vitality. The cornerstones of the buildings that emerge in the middle of the construction site are like spring shoots out of the sky, ready to go straight to the sky.
The two Huangpu rivers that extend out are like the long sleeves of a dancer, and this dancer is Lujiazui, the pearl of Pudong.
"Will Pudong really be as good as Puxi?" An Kang asked
Looking at the banks of the Pujiang River on the Oriental Pearl, the contrast is very obvious. Crossing a narrow river is as if it had spanned decades.
"Yes. And it will be better built than Puxi. Puxi will be a modern city, and Pudong will be a magical city of the future. ”
"Then will Shanghai become the magic capital?" Lin Mushuang said.
"Magic City? Hahaha. This word amused Cheng Gong as well.
