Chapter 269: Treading Water Dance(1/2)
The idea has been completely sent out, and now there is nothing they can do if they can't get Chen Xing out.
Besides, there is no point in completely copying your own work.
If you want to improve, you might as well look at the works of ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River that you took during this period. Start by imitating the style and then step by step out of your own style. This is the way for normal photographers to advance.
Thinking of this, Chen Xing suddenly laughed twice.
I have never experienced this period before, so I saved a lot of time.
Then he ignored his own account and scrolled through the recently updated anchors in the dance area. The female anchors on the recent Beep station are getting more and more popular, and even many music grandma hosts are free to dance now.
This is really a good thing...
The next day.
Today's appointment was in the morning, so Chen Xing didn't have time to watch videos in the room, so he walked towards the art center with a backpack of lenses.
A backpack is an exaggeration, but there are actually only three.
The Hasselblad lens mount is different from Sony's, so Chen Xing left all his previous lenses at home and purchased a new set of Hasselblad XCD lenses. The focal lengths cover 21, 65, and 80, of which the 21 ultra-wide angle is used in portrait photography. It is basically not used in the painting. It was specially purchased by Chen Xing for the scenery.
After all, he is a traveler, and he always wants to take pictures of beautiful scenery.
Even if there is currently no masterpiece, the lens is indispensable.
But it happened to be used today. Chen Xing wanted to take a blockbuster-style creative work for them. He had already thought of the effect, and it would definitely attract the attention of foreign seniors.
65 and 80 are the most commonly used ones by Chen Xing in commercial photography and daily shooting.
Why are they all fixed focus and not a single zoom?
Just kidding!
Hasselblad lenses are super expensive!
How much does it cost to buy three good prime lenses from Sony for commercial photography, and then a 24-105 for travel photography? Chen Xing’s a7m3 is one of these lenses, and together it is only a Hasselblad 80mm/f1 .9The price of a fixed focus lens.
So Chen Xing really can’t afford it now.
After the school holidays, Chen Xing has very few opportunities to make money. If he is not short of money, who wouldn’t want a zoom lens?
Without further ado, Chen Xing has already arrived at the Art Center with his bag on his back.
The weather is very good today, but it has nothing to do with the interior of the theater. Once the door is closed, it is basically dark inside without turning on any lights. There are already many people sitting in the front row seats in the hall.
President Wang and Ning Junping, whom I met yesterday, are both here.
"Xiao Chen, are you here?"
"Teacher Chen, good morning."
Chen Xing also greeted them and said: "Good morning."
Calling him "teacher" is a common custom in China. Chen Xing was not used to it before, but he has gradually adapted to others calling him that. What else should he do? There are so many people in the crew, and not everyone dares to call him Xiao Chen.
Some dancers who have put on their makeup are also resting here.
They came early to put on makeup.
Ning Junping saw that Chen Xing had also arrived, so he said to others: "Go and hurry, the photographers are already here, how long will it take for their makeup to be done?"
Chen Xing quickly said: "It's okay, I can take a close-up of them first."
"That's okay!"
Chen Xing nodded to several curious girls.
No, it can’t be said to be a girl, Daji is not as feminine as them.
"Zhaojun Leaving the Wall" was already choreographed a few years ago, but after all, it is an international tour. The China Song and Dance Theater still sent a relatively strong cast. Not only Tang Shiyi, who is as famous as some entertainment stars, but also Hao Ruoqi,
Zhang Di and so on.
Regardless of appearance or figure, she crushes many modern female idols.
Of course, there are more young female dancers, but they got up a little late and are still putting on makeup backstage.
Classical dance makeup is inherently more complicated and more refined than modern makeup, and the dressing room in the cultural and art center is only a little bigger. Of course, those who come early will finish their makeup quickly, and those who come later can only wait slowly.
"Beauties, we didn't get to know each other well yesterday. Let me introduce myself today. I, Chen Xing, am currently very young and have never been married. If you have any sisters who want to be single, you can introduce them to me... Of course, if you want to talk to me in private,
You can also exchange contact information..."
"Hahaha!"
Many beauties laughed and shook the hairpins on their heads. Only a few middle-aged men frowned, wondering why this person is a bit unreliable?
Is it better for a photographer to be more humorous or more rigid?
Of course, it’s better to be humorous. You have to show your relaxed attitude in front of the guests so that the people being photographed don’t be so nervous. After all, being nervous is a taboo in shooting. The model cannot relax, so it would be difficult for Chen Xing to take the photos today.
.
And you don’t have to worry about whether your jokes will go too far.
When a group of girls are together, their strong sense of security will not only prevent them from being afraid of Chen Xing, but will actually make them want to tease him.
The lighting on the theater stage is very complete. Even if it is not professional equipment, it can still achieve the effect Chen Xing wants. So, he quickly finished shooting the close-up shot of the leading actor, and it was now eleven o'clock.

"When will the group photos be taken?" Ning Junping asked.
Chen Xing said: "At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, it will be enough, but I don't plan to shoot here. Can you find a car? Let's go to Zhouzhuang."
Zhouzhuang is an ancient town in Suzhou, only a thirty-minute drive from their location.
If you have never visited Jiangnan, it would be difficult to imagine how dense the ancient towns in Jiangnan are. Let alone the famous ancient towns such as Wuzhen, Tongli and Xitang, there are two ancient towns within 30 minutes of Chen Xing.
One of them is Zhouzhuang.
The reputation here is not low. It is one of the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River and is also known as the first water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
When Chen Xing came to Jiangnan, he was attracted by this place. The key word that Chen Xing remembered was the word "water town". For a place like Jiangnan to be named after water, you can imagine how authentic the water town scenery here must be.
He also checked and found that there is a stream here that is so shallow that it can barely cover the ankles.
Therefore, this is Chen Xing’s most ideal shooting location.
As for how to take pictures specifically, it’s better to go there first and then take a look.
President Wang and Chen Xing were chatting about what to eat for lunch. On the other side, a group of girls were also discussing the works that Chen Xing had taken in the morning.
After arriving here in the morning and taking a photo, Chen Xing made some adjustments to the camera parameters, allowing a photo to be displayed directly in front of them in jpg format.
In their opinion, this kind of photos are no different from the promotional photos that have been refined by many photographers.
"He's so awesome!"
"Oh, you know all this?"
"Did you just ask for his WeChat account?"
"Have you?"
"No!"
"I don't dare, you better go ahead." Several leading actors said.
Those young girls who had just joined the dance troupe became more and more excited as they chatted. Apart from Chen Xing, he also had his shooting skills. They rarely saw anyone who could create such a beautiful style on the spot without having to do post-production.
Of?
I’ve decided to go eat seafood for lunch.
Wujiang was President Wang's home stadium, so naturally he was the one to take charge. Chen Xing sat in the auditorium for a while and sent an emoticon to a few sisters who had just added him on WeChat. Then he put away his phone and walked towards the girls.
Said:
"There is still some time, shall I take two photos for you?"
Time now is wasted if you don’t take photos, and Chen Xing doesn’t want to waste so many high-quality models.
Not one ugly one.
When Chen Xing walked towards them, it felt like he had entered the land of girls... But their current clothes were more like the female fairies in Pansi Cave. Their clothes were all golden, exposing their arms, shoulders, and a small piece of their backs.
.
"Thank you!"
They had been greedy for a long time, but they did not dare to take the initiative to disturb Chen Xing. At this moment, Chen Xing himself brought it up, just as they wanted.
If you have a photo of yourself, even if you can’t use it this time, you can take it back and hang it on the wall. Which dancer doesn’t have an artistic photo taken by a famous photographer at home? Now is a good opportunity.
p>
Chen Xing was instantly surrounded by stars.
"Come one by one, don't worry."
Nowadays, these are all shot casually, without leaving it to be repaired at night, so Chen Xing shoots them very casually and quickly. The parameters he preset are very suitable for the lighting of the scene, and the actors will get beautiful close-ups in any pose they want.
Photos.
