Chen Xing has been observing the environment here for half an hour, but few people have come. He really wanted to communicate more with girls. What was there to talk about with these men?
"Where are they?" Chen Xing asked.
"Out shopping." someone replied. Ning Junping took this matter very seriously, so he basically followed Chen Xing to see what he wanted. Hearing this, he asked: "Xiao Chen, do you want to film now? I will send someone to find them right now."
"No need, the light is not soft now and it is difficult to take pictures." Chen Xing objected, then thought for a moment and said, "Then I will go out for an hour and I will come back when the sun is not so bright." He returned to China The reason is to shoot some works in the style of ancient towns, so that Seth can have more works of the same style available for his art exhibition there.
So even if I have been to several ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River in a row, it is always good to take pictures of new scenery.
There were a few people who wanted to follow, so Chen Xing quickly said: "You guys should be busy with your own business. I'll go out and take some photos and I'll be back." Although the photographer is the biggest photographer today, private space is still needed.
What's going on with Chen Xing, a young man who went out shopping with some people behind him? Those who didn’t know better thought that Chen Xing was leading a group of middle-aged and elderly people.
It goes without saying that the six ancient towns in Jiangnan are all awesome. But if there is a ranking, then Zhouzhuang was the most powerful and had the most tourists more than ten years ago.
It's just that since the Internet Conference was held, Wuzhen has gradually widened the gap with other peers and has become a world-class attraction with great popularity abroad.
What is Jiangnan? Water town. Zhouzhuang is known as the first water town in Jiangnan. You can imagine how important this place is to Jiangnan.
It's a pity that as soon as the current commercialization is implemented, the larger the attractions, the more serious the homogeneity will be. Especially the shopping streets in several scenic spots, everything sold there gave Chen Xing the illusion of déjà vu.
However, Chen Xing no longer cares about the culture and products of the water town. What he cares about is the shooting angle. After all, these are two different places. Even if most things are the same, the feeling of shooting is definitely different.
So this is the best place for travel photography. Even if you are not satisfied with this place as a traveler, as a photographer, Chen Xing can always find a shining point that satisfies you.
The waterways in many places in Zhouzhuang are very narrow, so narrow that they can only accommodate two awning boats at most.
Chen Xing felt that anyone with a normal physique could reach the other side in a single jump. Therefore, the layout of the buildings here is not front-to-side. When walking to such a narrow waterway, the opposite side of the walking area is usually the back of the building, allowing people to enjoy the scenery on one side.
Chen Xing met Tang Shiyi who was wearing sunglasses and summery clothes at a pond with many carps. There were several other girls around her.
He also went over to lean on the railing and shouted, "Tangtang." Tang Shiyi turned around and saw Chen Xing, folded his arms, took a breath and said, "Why do I get goosebumps all over when I hear you call me that?"
"Maybe it's because I haven't said that to anyone else, isn't it? I see they all call you that on the Internet, don't you like it?"
"You have to call me Sister Tang."
"Okay Tangtang." The other three girls covered their mouths and snickered, making eye contact that Chen Xing couldn't understand with their big and lively eyes.
"Isn't this place very beautiful? When I saw you dancing yesterday, I felt that your dance matches the ancient town of Jiangnan very well. It's like the beauties coming out of the ancient paintings of Jiangnan talents." A girl said: " You said we were fairies in the morning? Not anymore?" Chen Xing spread his hands and said, "If fairies don't take a trip to the mortal world, how can mortals like us have a chance?"
"You must be a scumbag if you talk so nicely!"
"Unjustly accused!" Chen Xing shouted, "Unjustly accused."
"I don't have a girlfriend yet, so why am I a scumbag? How can you compensate me for ruining my reputation?" The experience of the past two years has really emboldened Chen Xing. He would not have spoken like this before.
They chatted by the pool for a while, and Chen Xing saw many tourists taking pictures of them.
When several people are chatting, they also smile beautifully and look beautiful. With such a background, it will look good no matter how you take photos.
This is my model, who was prostituted for nothing. Chen Xing was speechless for a while, then said, "How about I take some photos for you?"
"Free?"
"Of course it's free, but it's not impossible if you want to pay..."
"No, no, no, no!" They had an in-depth discussion and investigation about Chen Xing in the small group last night. Originally, they couldn't find Chen Xing's current film prices on the Internet, but they couldn't resist someone. Asked Ning Junping.
The price of a photo worth tens of thousands of Chinese coins made them tremble with fear. Shooting begins. It's been a long time since Chen Xing had such fun taking photos of beauties. He took a lot of close-ups, half-lengths, full bodies, group photos, etc.
Portrait photography also requires practice, and there is a very magical thing about it, that is, the more you photograph beautiful women, the faster and better your portrait photography skills will improve.
Chen Xing doesn't know how to explain this. Logically speaking, it should be the same for everyone. But not long after the shooting, Chen Xing heard one of the girls complain: "It's too hot in the south during this period." Chen Xing said while taking pictures: "Actually, it's the same abroad, Paris is also hot, and they don't like it. Install air conditioning. During the day, many people lie down on the street, which makes it very lively." He was chatting casually.
Suddenly he remembered something and asked: "Do you feel hot?"
"It's hot, what's wrong?"
"Do you want to play in the water..." Tang Shiyi was a little moved and said hesitantly: "This... is not good, there are so many people."
"Okay, very good" Chen Xing said with a smile,
"Do you have their contact information? Let's change clothes and go directly to the shooting location. There is no one there, only a few of our people. Let's take the photo quickly so that you can be liberated as soon as possible." He had only thought about the light before. question, but the light is important, and the model’s emotion is also important.
The temperature in Suzhou is so high nowadays. Everyone must have felt a little hot after playing outdoors for an hour. Isn’t it the best time to take pictures of water play?
Chen Xing previously wanted to guide them to make the film they wanted. But if they are all happy and have the same emotions as girls in ancient times who have been suppressed at home for a long time and suddenly have the opportunity to go out and play with a group of sisters and start playing in the water, then what do they care about the light?
That can all be resolved later. That's it. Actually, think about it, half past three is already very good. Without the strong light at noon, there is no risk of overexposure of the photo. As for Chen Xing who wants to see the effect of the sunset... then he can take pictures until the sun sets. .
After all, the money collected is so small, it would be a big loss if I didn’t take a few pictures that I can collect for myself.
The photographer has decided that even if someone doesn't want to come now, they can only listen to Chen Xing's arrangement. However, most people moved very quickly. They quickly returned to the car, changed their clothes, put on makeup, and then arrived at the small attraction.
Before four o'clock, everyone had gathered. The temperature is fine now, but if we really have to wait until four-thirty or five o'clock, when the sun sets and the cool breeze blows, they may be able to get into the mood of "playing in the water" and the only choice is for the girls to perform.
Someone asked: "How to shoot? Do you dance first?" Chen Xing shook his head.
"Aren't you afraid of getting your clothes dirty?" he asked. Ning Junping said nonchalantly: "Hey, what's the point? You have saved so much money for us. How can we still feel sorry for a few clothes? You can do whatever you want. You don't need to do it for us." consider."
"Well, you just get out of here first."
"ah?"
"???" Many people had questions. What are you going to take a picture of, and you need to clear the place? Especially the two young men sent by the Suzhou Dance Association to help. They didn't go to the scene last night. Now they were shocked when they saw the girls put on cool performance clothes, let alone filming a work involving water soon.
Let them go now? I’m unwilling!
"You mean, we'll come back after you finish filming, right?"
"Absolutely." He made the girls unsure. They were all guessing what Chen Xing wanted to take, but they didn't think too far.
After all, it is a promotional photo, and we cannot put some photos that cannot be made public at the entrance of the theater.
Although many people felt that Chen Xing's request was a bit outrageous, they all left. Tang Shiyi asked: "You are the only man now, are you scared?" Chen Xing was sitting on the ground changing the photography parameters regardless of his image. After hearing her words, he tilted his neck and rolled his eyes... What do I have to be afraid of? I'm not afraid of you coming up one by one and fighting on wheels.
Do you know what endurance enhancement is? Chen Xing took a few random photos to see the effect. He was very satisfied, and then said: "You guys dance that dance first, I will record a video first."
"Are you just going to dance like this?" Chen Xing rummaged in his bag, took out two small Bluetooth speakers, and said, "I've found all the songs. Just put your heart out and treat it like a rehearsal or practice. It's just me here. Alone, you should let go of your emotions." Someone said: "I think you are the worst!" Chen Xing pointed at her and said: "Wang Xuerou, right? You have to be responsible for what you say!" Tang Shiyi organized Order, listening to the music, started to dance. Although he didn't quite understand Chen Xing's filming, and felt like a grass-stage team, he forgot these things after entering the state.
She had been dancing this dance for several years and had muscle memory in it, so she got into the groove quickly. Chen Xing captured this video from the best angle.
There are mountains and rivers, and there is an ancient town in the distance. If this video is edited by myself and put on the Internet, the number of views will explode?
It's incredible, but it's a pity that only you can see it. He didn't really want to use this video, he just used his own method to help them get into the mood.
After a few minutes the dance ended. Chen Xing didn't say what he was going to do next for a long time. Everyone just watched Chen Xing playing with the camera. Tang Shiyi asked: "Hey, what should we do? Just say something..."
"Are you tired of dancing in the water?" Chen Xing asked.
"fine."
"Well...there's nothing to do. You can just play and wait for the sun to set."
"Chen Xing! You are playing tricks on us!" Wang Xuerou said loudly. Chen Xing kicked the water and said, "Visitors are not allowed to go into the water here. We have time to tread water and play here for an hour. You are still not satisfied."
"Then you can call us back later." Some of them were shopping just now, but were called back by a phone call halfway through.
They were not like Chen Xing who had visited so many ancient town attractions in a short period of time. Several of them had never been to Suzhou before and wanted to see more of the scenery of the ancient water town. They were quite complaining about Chen Xing's change of heart.
The original appointment was made at 4:30, but it was an hour early. But this complaint went away as quickly as it came.
Chen Xing is right, treading water is really fun. Although they need to simulate the feeling of playing in water when dancing, they really don't have the experience of playing in shallow water.
Stepping on the small stream, the cool water continues to take away the heat of summer. It feels so comfortable.
And there was only one man around, Chen Xing. They were soon playing in the water, holding hands and running while laughing.
This natural smile is much prettier than the smiles they wear during performances. Chen Xing seemed to be playing with them, but sometimes he secretly took photos to capture their most touching moments.
"Be careful not to sprain your feet!" Tang Shiyi took care of a group of people like a big sister. The red dress made her look graceful and luxurious, but she lacked the happiness and agility in dancing, because at this time She is Tang Shiyi, not Wang Zhaojun.
This is not okay. Chen Xing looked at her still dry clothes and kicked a stream of water over them. By hand?
That won't work, I have to hold the camera with my hand.
"Chen Xing! What are you doing? How can I take a photo if my clothes get wet for a while?"
"A group of ancient palace maids came out to play in the water. It's strange that their clothes are always dry! Don't worry, just pretend that I don't exist and just play as you like!"
"You are gay, do you think you don't exist?"
"Don't talk nonsense, or I will sue you for slander!" Chen Xing went to chat with others, and Tang Shiyi's anger subsided a little, so she glared at Chen Xing and prepared to go to the shore to rest for a while.
But at this time Chen Xing got her some water, like a child. She turned around, lifted up her skirt to reveal her snow-white feet, and gave Chen Xing a bunch of water drops in return.
Chen Xing ran away quickly.
"Stop! How old are you!" The position he ran was also very particular. He had found two shooting angles here before. One was to borrow the background of the ancient town buildings, but after thinking about it carefully, this background didn't seem very good.
Another angle is standing under a small waterfall that is only 20 to 30 centimeters tall. Use the waterfall as the foreground to shoot the people in front, so that you can get a picture of water, people, and sky.
