Chapter 55 wedding photo
This wedding photo shoot was entirely my boss's idea.
Among friends, any hasty marriage means that they just got the certificate and did nothing, no photos, no banquets, and no children in a few years, it seems that they are all clean.
He said it was too unlucky and he had to make up for it.I have always had nothing to do. When he said he was too lazy to shoot, I didn't shoot.To be honest, I'm too lazy to take pictures, I think it's very fake.It's like singing a big show, and the clothes are not everyday clothes, so it's not interesting.
But now, the leadership's baton has turned, and I, Lou Lou, should hurry up and get on this boat!Truth: The necessary and sufficient condition for a stable life is to be an obedient citizen.I have always been a submissive citizen.
On the second day after returning to Shanghai, I went to find a photo studio early in the morning.As soon as I came to Xujiahui Square, there were a lot of small wedding photography booths, all of which were engaged in outdoor promotion and sales.After comparing several companies, such as Jeanswest, Milan, Long Photography, etc., I finally chose the most expensive one - Paris wedding photography.
Nothing else, just because this company promised to arrange for us as quickly as possible, and ensured that we could pick up the film when we went back.Our leader is a pragmatist, and he only cares about the final result when doing things. As for how much more money is spent to achieve the goal, this is not in the scope of his worries. He left the hardware problem to me.
It is said that this series is 2980.For the same set, the Milan wedding dress offered by the film is only 2880.But the reason why the boss refused to choose Milan was that the photo was too big, 30 inches, and it was hard to take.
On Monday morning, our husband and wife wore a couple suit prepared the day before and went straight to the location.The location is Zhabei Park.In a large park, plank roads are built openly and warehouses are kept dark, and there are organs for photography everywhere, and props are accidentally stepped on.
Advanced dressing room.The lady who puts on makeup is trying her best to promote her so-called instant beauty serum, giving various reasons, such as too much makeup is easy to lose powder, the face is stained, or fine lines are easy to get on the face, and the skin is dry.An old Jianghu like me just looks at it coldly and doesn't express his opinion.In the whole world, I was the only one who knocked people down, and now the juniors are starting to knock me down.
You can tell at a glance that they are the ones who slaughtered those prospective husbands.Getting married, including buying a house and hosting a banquet, will cost hundreds of thousands or millions, so don't care about the 500 yuan.What's more, as long as the bride points her finger, which groom would dare to frown?I'm different, I'm the master of the house now, so I won't be fooled.Kill one word, just don't buy it.
This lady is definitely a practicing family. Seeing that my machine is dead, she turns around and sells it to me.The laborer is the most deceitful person in the world, and without a word of kindness, he readily agrees-buy!
I deliberately refused, thinking that in front of everyone, how could I refute the face of the head of the family, and I felt uncomfortable making a fuss over the five hundred yuan. After a day of bad mood, how can I smile when I take pictures later?Alas, begging for perfection - the second key to peace in the world.
But when the two of us were alone in the car after the photo shoot one day, I lost my temper and scolded him for making decisions without my wife's eyes.Labor's thoughtful words immediately caught my attention. I didn't expect that this kid usually looks very unsophisticated and thinks a lot at critical moments.He said: "Miss pays bonuses based on commissions. If you don't buy a word, she will show you all the time, and she will scribble at random, and the loss will be our entire 3,000 yuan. Don't lose big because of small things." Unconvinced, he questioned him: "I haven't seen how she paints for me with all her heart. I think she is the same as everyone else." The laborer said, "It's good to be like everyone else, because everyone buys it. But if you don't buy it alone, Then you are different from everyone else. He came out with Meijiao Niang, and I took an old lady." I laughed and let him go.
After putting on makeup, it's time to choose clothes.The costume designer said bluntly that a boy is a match, and everything is based on a girl. A girl is a safflower, and you are a mud.So, the laborers were ordered to change clothes according to my outfit like abacus beads.
When it was over, he led me around the garden, followed by a group of people, very imposing.One is the main photographer, she is actually a young female photographer, her appearance is also very ordinary, her long hair is not tied up, always blocking her eyes, I always suspect that her eyes hidden behind a head of yellow hair cannot be aligned The focal length captures my worst moments.Don't worry about her.
The assistant photographer is a little guy who likes to imitate the cool boys in Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas, and his voice is so soft that it is even a bit whiny.Constantly correcting the position of my fingers and the position of my buttocks, always telling me to look sideways, lower my head, raise my eyes, smile, and stretch my chin.I protested more than once, telling him that I have a small face from the front and a big face from the side, that I look thin from the front and fat from the side, but the boy ignored me and only said that the eyes in the front shot were dull.
And the other root class held a reflector in his hand to borrow some natural light for the cloudy day.
The female photographer kept shouting: "Happy smile! Laugh! Show your teeth! Beautiful!" Just like I shouted to my children all day long: "Queue up, raise your hands, wipe your mouth, be good!" It should belong to professional language.
3D production is popular now, combining real and fake. If you don't point it out, you must think that everything you see is real.In fact, it is not the case, the combination of truth and falsehood.Just like the hair on my head, part of it is my own, part of it is plugged in, and finally untied. The women in the film and television have coiled hair as thick as a dark cloud and as heavy as a rock. I have been wondering before, saying that either the ancients did not eat it. Chemical food, hair is naturally great, or when casting actors, hair is also an indicator.At that time, I also lamented that I had a yellow-haired girl in the country, with few hairs scattered, and there was no camera lens at all!
Back to 3D production.An exterior scene is often set up on the grass, such as a bluestone path, or a small beach, or a sailboat.The path, the beach, and the sailing boat are all real, and on the large screen behind it, there is a row of old houses walking down the path, or a blue sea.The mystery of making the film was gone all of a sudden.
False and true, true and false.After being processed by the computer, the clothes are seamless, and there is no trace of production at all.
In total, we have to change five outfits and follow five different hairstyles.One exterior wedding dress, one interior wedding dress, one dress, one ancient costume, and a kimono upon request.I hate small Japanese clothes, so I decided not to wear them, so I changed into the couple clothes I brought.
After seeing it through, I feel that the stylist is only at that level, and I can do it a few times. I don't modify it according to the differences in personal facial features at all.Every time I finished painting, I was extremely dissatisfied.The laborer watched from the side and continued to puff up, saying, "It's natural, it hasn't changed at all, unlike the couple just now, when his wife came out and smiled at me, I didn't recognize it."
I and labor belong to completely different consumer psychology, which is worth pondering by market analysts.I'm always unhappy because of the extra money I've spent, and any service doesn't feel like I'm getting my money's worth.And the laborers feel at ease because they have spent money, just like the family members of patients who actively give money to the doctor before the operation, for fear that they will not be able to get off the operating table.
Even with the overtime shooting on Monday, there were still about 10 couples waiting for the newcomers. Everyone rotated the scene, and most of the time they were sitting in the waiting room with the chicken cover hanging down and waiting patiently.
During the period, a group of photos was taken, and I waited for a full hour. When I was impatient, my nature was exposed. I didn’t care about my manners and beat the table and the bench to criticize the Paris wedding dress. I know how to make money. There is no service attitude problem at all.I was wearing makeup, and I could neither drink nor eat, nor go to the bathroom, for fear of damaging the gauze skirt, and the compensation was about 500.
Seeing other brides laying down on the laborers in a graceful manner, I was the only dominatrix with one hand on her hips and the other hand holding up her headscarf, feeling out of breath.The laborer was not in a hurry or annoyed at the side, just looked at me and smiled, and said, your image has given those men who are about to enter the grave a blow, no matter, regret it now, if it is too late, I will do it Bad example, at the expense of myself.What he said made me burst into laughter, and I pushed him and muttered: "I hate it!" After that, I hurriedly supported his arm and shook it back and forth.
Now that I'm fat, even if I can't be a small bird, I can still try my best to be hugged by a big bird.
The ladies probably saw too much of this kind of fierce bride, so they didn't pay any attention at first.After I got angry, I came over and said with a smile: "You still think there are too many people! I took 30 pairs on Saturday, from 5:00 am to 2:00 am! You are lucky!" I heard, All of a sudden a lot of peace.
Another way to soothe the hurt is to find someone who is worse than you.They did it!
After a fire, it went much smoother. At around 4:00 pm, I finished work and went home!Seeing the sample is 4 days later.wait!Mood look forward to.
Finally, they arrived at another slaughterhouse. The butchers held sharp knives and saw two fat pigs entering the slaughterhouse with a sinister sneer.And the two pigs didn't realize that there was a sea of swords and flames ahead.
As soon as the sample was brought, I immediately looked gloomy, very ugly.My temper is like this, I came so fast, I didn't notice that my future sister-in-law kindly accompanied us to choose the film, and I was panicking on the sidelines.
As soon as I opened the album, I was disappointed!I feel that the pictures are not as beautiful as I am, because I have seen photos of a laborer’s friend’s wedding before, and the money is less than ours.Then what is the difference between natural lychees?
I picked my nose and eyes, "This one! The face is big! This one! The eyes are bulging! This one, the smile is stiff! This one, the chest is too full!"... Later, when I thought about it, people still took pictures It's the truth, it just really exposed my flaws.In this world, the small can make it big, but I have never heard of a big one that can become small.Many pictures with single eyelids and small eyes have a face like a full moon and eyes like a moon, but it is a bit difficult for a photographer to paint a fat man into a thin man.
The face was getting longer and longer, and I turned it back and forth several times, but I couldn't find one I liked, so I simply didn't look at it.
The laborer still maintains a good self-restraint, and keeps cheering up: "Not bad! Very good! Look at how bright the light is! Look at how natural the background is! Look at how handsome I am! It's not that you are not beautiful, it's because I am too chic and unrestrained. The way, I tried hard to make clay, but I accidentally turned it into a red flower!" It made me laugh again.
The photographer took a total of 90 samples, and we have to choose 20 of them. If we want to buy more, we have to pay. The raw film with negative is 60 yuan, and the next one is 150 yuan.If I am not satisfied, it should be very difficult for them to sell their works.
The eloquent female photographer hurried over and exchanged pleasantries: "What's the matter? Someone reported that my work is not solid?" After that, she naturally sat down next to me, and comforted me with one hand. my waist.
She skillfully took a few out of the middle and put them in front of me, telling me exaggeratedly: "I like these ones so much! Look at how elegant the tone is, and how cute the shape is! I look at them over and over again. How many brides have snow-white skin and big eyes like yours? Look at how full these lips are, as if they can talk!" That's it!I can see that this woman's skill is not in photography, but in poetry.It is better to engage in marketing, and even the dead can be said to survive.
"Which woman won't turn white after applying two catties of powder? If you shine it under a 3000-watt headlight, you won't see any freckles and acne. Everyone is beautiful, please coax me!" I remained sharp.
"That's different! People apply two catties of powder to get the effect, white is white, opaque! Look at you, how natural is it when you apply it lightly? How close is it to yourself? It's a stunt for an ugly girl to become a beautiful woman, you This is her true color!" She lightly smeared it on her mouth, it was about a little less than others, two catties for dark skin, one catty for me!The difference between fifty steps and one hundred steps, it is strange to be able to see the transparency.However, this small mouth is really flattering, it makes me so happy, I suddenly feel that the photos that I didn't like before are pleasing to the eye.
So, following her golden finger, he began to choose photos according to her intention in a daze.I doubt that she has the ability to turn stones into gold. Any bad film modified by her language will be a peerless work, and it can definitely participate in the photography grand prix.
I summed up her central meaning. The key to judging a work is not to look at the person, but to look at the idea.As long as the idea is well thought out, it doesn't matter whether people are good-looking or not.So, I became a pawn on her chessboard. As long as her overall planning is successful, my appearance will not be damaged.In the end, I felt a little guilty, and felt that my appearance was not worthy of the photographer's skills. Originally, if I had changed the model, the effect of her photos would have been better.
I delete, delete, delete, delete, delete, delete, delete, anyway, I made up my mind not to pay a penny more.At this level, you want to come out to make a living?If I was cheated out of money, it would be a real punch.
The key to doing business is tenacity, perseverance, and never giving up.No matter how much I insisted, the photographer was always more persistent than me, watching my hard-hearted, take out the final killer cocoon. "If you buy all the porn, I'll give you 20 large-scale productions. For only 18,000 yuan, you can buy a lifetime souvenir!" "If you buy 50 porn, I'll give you another natal album with a big poster! "Just buy 30 copies! I'll give you a crystal picture frame plus a lighter and a key chain with the picture printed on it!"
The price tag is getting more and more lethal, but for a greedy little girl like me who regards gifts as her life, every extra gift will get an extra bullet into my wallet, and my wallet is dripping and seeping, and the soil is loose a feeling of.
The laborers turned against each other at a critical moment, and they were reluctant to let go after looking at their handsome photos.He partnered with the lady to persuade me, buy it, buy it!
I am under the double oppression of external aggression and internal traitors!Who can be stronger than me?
When I deleted to the last 30 pictures, the lady started to be sloppy, and she said to me in an orderly tone: "You are messing around like this! If you delete any more, I can't do post-production for you. People this For the rest of my life, where is the 1,500 yuan missing? I will give you 10 more raw films, and I will give you a big production, and I will also give you a palm treasure, a big poster, a crystal photo frame, and a key chain. Don’t bargain any more! That’s it!"
When I heard it, I was full of joy, so many gifts, what a bargain!
I paid another 1,500 yuan more, so in exchange for a win-win situation, everyone shook hands and talked happily.
A wedding dress cost me 5000.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a second marriage.Other brides are shy and helpless, and they are alone, with their chests and heads held high, and they look like the eldest wife of the family.
I would like to advise everyone, what to do at any age, if you are wrong for a few years, several steps will collapse.
After my exaggeration after returning home, my parents felt depressed. They wanted to spend so much money and lose a daughter who was dissatisfied.My father comforted me and said: "Son! Don't think that you are old now, not as pure as a few years ago. In a few years, you will be older. Looking back at these photos, you still think you are young and good-looking now!"
Before returning to Singapore, I got the finished film.
When I went home and showed it to my parents, the old couple were very satisfied, and said it was very beautiful, why should I blame the photographer?
The younger brother was more honest and said, "I think the photos look better than you!"
I cry!I thought I was prettier than the photos, but when people looked at me, the photos were prettier than me.
So I know that there is a big gap between the self in my own eyes and the self in the eyes of others.
As CLEAN said: "Literati, most of them look at their shadows and feel sorry for themselves."
And the vicissitudes of life once said that people who are not narcissistic can't write anything.
Well, for the sake of the article, I sacrificed again.
