"I'm letting you rest, but I'm not letting you go pick up girls!" Elder Huang Yaomin watched the young man chatting and laughing with two young and invincible girls, and he felt jealous in his heart. At first, Elder Huang watched all kinds of beauties on the TV station, but as a TV migrant worker,
Nothing good ever comes close to being fragrant.
After becoming a veteran, the life secretary certainly wanted to have as much as he wanted, but he was no longer a teenager. The regrets he had at the time left old scars in his heart.
"Date, make an appointment with P!"
Immediately, a clerk was called: "You! Go and call Chen Shixin who is outside!"
The clerk saw the veteran's unkind expression and thought to himself that no one had entered the studio without knocking on the door this time, so why was he looking so bad? Just as he was about to go out to call someone, he saw that Chen Chixin had already walked in with two girls.
"Chief!" Chen Shixin greeted Huang Yuanlao as soon as he entered the door, "Business is booming today!"
Huang Yaomin nodded, this guy is quite sensible! Seeing that he had brought two girls in, he couldn't help but look at them curiously. One of them looked slightly familiar to him, but he couldn't remember who it was. From the hairstyle and dress, he couldn't help but look at it curiously.
, they should be naturalized civilian workers, and their level is not low.
Realizing Chief Huang's gaze, Chen Shixin quickly introduced He Xiaoyue and Guo Xier, saying that he brought them here to "open their eyes" today.
Hearing that he was the designer of Wanzi Pavilion, Huang Yaomin thought that Mr. Hong was really great, and the female employees he recruited were also so charming. Working in the army as a logistics worker was a waste!
"Axin, today is the first day of trial opening, the store is very busy..."
Chen Shixin said quickly: "I'm just here to help in the store. I just want to show them around the store. You see..."
Seeing that he was so knowledgeable, Huang Yuanlao was so happy that he immediately agreed to take the two girls to "visit the activities" in the store, on the condition that he would help take pictures.
After several months of internship, he has become familiar with the entire operation and has been completing the operation alone for a long time. Although he does not plan to become a professional photographer, Huang Yaomin feels that the skills of several specially trained photographers may be possible.
Not as good as him.
Chen Shixin took the two girls around the photo studio before it opened.
"...beep...beep...dah, the last sound just now was 8 o'clock sharp, Lingao time."
As the "Chatbox" played on the street announced the hour, the trial operation of the Coconut Grove Photo Studio officially kicked off.
"Chief, open the door," the female clerk at the front desk reminded.
"Open the door!"
As the glass door opened, the "customers" who had been lined up by the police at the door began to enter the venue one by one. Because they entered with tickets, order management was much better. However, the nature of the customers who loved to watch the excitement made them unable to help themselves.
Squeeze inside.
"Quine up, queue up, don't crowd, I won't give a number to anyone who jumps in line again... You... it's you... After I saw you cutting in line, go to the back..." As soon as the door opened, there were about ten people there.
When I rushed in, there was a group of people outside the store who were eager to try. The store clerk had to control the entrance while shouting to maintain order.
In order to separate the people watching the excitement from those who came to take pictures, the two sides were diverted from the entrance. Because there were many people wanting to take pictures, a congestion immediately formed. Huang Yaomin asked Chen Shixin to seize the No. 3 camera position to speed up the shooting progress.
Guo and He acted as "assistants" for Chen Shixin. In this era when camera technology was still very primitive, photography not only required assistants, but the assistants also had a heavy workload. In particular, they had to appease the restless crowd waiting outside and guide the unknown people who were filming.
Where do you put your hands and feet?
Chen Shixin probably told them what to do and what to pay attention to, and the two of them started to "get on the job".
Here, it was a completely different environment from the Wanzi Pavilion they were familiar with. When I first came here, everything I saw was new and everything I did was interesting.
"Sister, is this the photo platoon?" Just when He Xiaoyue came out to call the number and was about to return, a voice came from behind. He Xiaoyue turned around and saw a man wearing a neat Fubo Army sergeant uniform and two old people.
Standing behind him, the old man kept wiping his sweat with a towel. The soldier was also sweating all over his forehead, and there were sweat stains on his collar. If it weren't for the requirements of military appearance and discipline, he would most likely have to take off his hat to fan himself.
"Yes, some of you are also taking photos. Where are your numbers?"
"Here, here." The soldier hurriedly handed over the note.
He Xiaoyue took it and took a look at it, then handed it back: "This is a visit ticket, not a photo experience ticket."
"Well, can I pay for it myself?"
"You can't pay for it yourself. You can only take photos with coupons these days. Why don't you go to the counter outside to get an experience coupon? Come back in a few days. Taking photos during this period is free," He Xiaoyue explained.
The soldier took back the ticket in disappointment, looked at his parents behind him uneasily, and said in a low voice, "My parents are over fifty. They are old and have never been to the city. If they miss the public carriage, I will pick it up."
They came over as soon as they arrived. I didn't expect there to be so many people... I came back for a vacation this time and thought I could take a photo and keep it as a souvenir."
Although He Xiaoyue has never worked in a photo studio, she has already developed a delicate heart when dealing with customers in Wanzi Pavilion. She has experience in this kind of thing. There were so many people around the scene. If he was allowed to make the same request as others, he would definitely
It will cause more trouble. She thought for a moment and said:
"I have to ask for permission on this matter, please wait a moment." After that, he went in and talked to Chen Shixin.
"It's definitely not possible now. People with tickets haven't finished taking pictures yet?"
"Can you add a number? It's not easy for people to take their parents into the city to take photos when they come back from vacation." He Xiaoyue begged.
"I'll add another number for you, but it will have to come later." Chen Shixin thought for a while, "Just ask them to come over at four in the afternoon. By this time, the queue is almost finished. It's not a big problem to add another number."
This work is uploaded by the organizer~~
He Xiaoyue came out with a coupon with an extra number. In full view of everyone, she did not give the coupon away, but said loudly with a straight face, "The quota for photo coupons today is full, and I can't add a number. Why don't you pay for it at your own expense?"
No need to queue or wait in line
, you can come directly at two o'clock in the afternoon." When talking about "at your own expense," He Xiaoyue winked at the soldier, and pronounced the word "afternoon" very seriously. When she saw the other person smiled at her, he nodded again.
After shaking his head, it seemed that the other party had understood.
He Xiaoyue deliberately pretended to lead them out, led them to the door, and then quietly handed the photography coupons to the soldiers.
"You have to come on time in the afternoon. If the photographer is gone, we won't be able to take pictures."
"I know! I know!" The other party nodded repeatedly.
The photo studio uses a Banner camera produced by Lingao Optical Factory. Wet plate photography is not fast. What is even more troublesome is that the required base plates and solutions must be prepared in advance before taking pictures. The prepared base plates and solutions cannot be used.
For long-term maintenance, we can only prepare according to the number of numbers allocated. Today's number is forty, but considering the failure of photography and other uncontrollable factors, Huang Yaomin actually prepared supplies for fifty photos, plus one or two people
There is no problem with the number.
Back in Studio No. 3, Chen Shixin has already started to get busy. The first few photos were taken by a single person, basically young people who were curious and tried to take photos. It was not until the sixth photo that it became a pair of people in their early thirties.
The couple, both wearing factory work clothes and raising two children, a boy and a girl, are simply the model naturalized family in Australian propaganda posters.
"Would you like to take a family photo? What kind of background should we take? We have the Holy Ship, Bairen Town, farms, factories, and various Western and Nanyang scenery..." Guo Xi'er was now self-taught and imitating Chen Shixin's
He introduced in a tone of voice.
The so-called background is a set of painted backgrounds and props to make the photos look less dull. The background wall here is a large oil painting specially customized by Huang Yuanlao from Trini Studio without any expense. It is colorful and has a strong sense of realism. The installation
On suspension that can be quickly replaced.
The couple took their children to visit several background props and sample photos hanging on the wall. The two of them discussed quietly for a while before deciding to choose the farm background. This made Chen Shixin a little proud, because this background matched
The tractor panel among the props used was made by him.
He arranged the couple and children to sit on fixed seats, and then pushed the prop tractor background board behind them to make them look like they were sitting in front of the front of an Australian tractor.
It can be seen that the couple have dressed up carefully for the photo. The clothes are new and their hair has been combed. The two children are also neatly dressed. It’s just that the eldest child’s clothes are probably modified from the mother’s clothes, and they are different from hers.
The age of a teenager was a little inappropriate. Chen Shixin got her a set from Fangcaodi Primary School without the famous school emblem.
He was given a girl's uniform, a schoolbag with props, and a prop book "Selected Stories of Elders" in his hand. The child was only four or five years old. Chen Shixin originally wanted him to sit on a toy wooden horse, but as soon as the child sat on it, he
He kept shaking, so I had to give him a rubber ball and let his mother hold it. The wooden horse was placed at his feet as a prop.
After the couple and the children had finished posing, Chen Shixin took them to practice the process, holding the position still for ten seconds. Both children were quite obedient and did not need to use fixed frames. This made Chen Shixin relieved.
In the workshop, he took out a base plate that had just been prepared in the morning and mounted it on the camera. He lit up the gas lamp covered with a white cloth, told him not to move and other precautions, and then stood next to the camera lens.
Chen Shixin shouted "Start", then took off the lens cap, shouting the numbers loudly as a timer. The couple and their two children were very obedient, looking at Chen Shixin motionless, waiting for him to count from one to ten, and then put the lens cap back on.
He took off the lens cap and said "Okay" before taking a deep breath. Chen Shixin removed the bottom plates and returned to the workroom to register. These bottom plates will not have time to be developed until the end of today's photography work.
