Chapter 742: Master Of Photography (19)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The outside world was turned upside down, but Ming Shu was preparing for the photography compet.i.tion.
Ji Jin was in trouble but it had little to do with her. No one could find her, so she was quite leisurely.
In this year’s compet.i.tion, there were only three categories of photography: human doc.u.mentary, landscape photography, and character photography.
Human doc.u.mentary: people’s livelihoods, folk customs, and street snapshots.
Landscape photography: natural scenery, architectural photography, and dark night scenes.
Character photography: children, portraits, travel, and fashion.
In previous years, there were many categories of photography, but there were only three this year…
The partic.i.p.ants could choose any one or all of the three categories.
However, there should be no less than two groups of works for each category, and no less than ten pictures for each group. The pictures must not be repeated.
It meant that one category required 20 pictures.
Three categories required 60 pictures.
Each group of works must have a prominent theme.
Using the long period of compet.i.tion, Wei Xu shot many future portrait works from the Host and won the first prize in the portrait photography category.
Ming Shu had sent her warm regards to Wei Xu, and she wondered whether Wei Xu would shoot her or not…
–
Ming Shu picked one of the a.s.sistants Wen Xiaqing had found for her. Perhaps considering that the photographic equipment was heavy, the a.s.sistants he sent were all male a.s.sistants. Ming Shu picked a shy boy from among them.
The boy was too shy. His face would turn red for a long time after talking to Ming Shu. In the end, Ming Shu had to make him not speak and just do what he was told.
There was not much that Ming Shu wanted him to do, though. When there was nothing to do, he was actually quite free.
This weekend, Ming Shu had a job at Xinyu. She took her a.s.sistant up to the 16th floor. Several models who needed to be photographed were gathering together and talking.
There was a photographer shooting. Ming Shu saw the man’s back and felt he was a bit like Su Nanfeng.
When the photographer called for a rest, he turned around, and it was indeed Su Nanfeng.
“Senior Sister.” Seeing Ming Shu, Su Nanfeng nodded his head slightly. “Director Shang said you’ll need the studio later, I’ll finish my work soon.”
“Do you know who I’m going to shoot today?” Ming Shu raised her eyebrows at him.
Su Nanfeng shook his head.
“Yu Xiaohan.”
Su Nanfeng was seemingly pinned on the spot. Until Wei Xu came in and broke the odd atmosphere. “Jiang Qiao… Senior Sister, why are you here?”
“Am I welcomed?” Ming Shu smiled. “I missed you a lot.”
Wei Xu felt gooseb.u.mps appear all over her body.
She didn’t miss her at all.
As soon as she thought of her experience in the peach blossom valley, Wei Xu would gather a rage in her chest that had nowhere to go.
Wei Xu pulled up the stiff corners of her mouth and walked to Su Nanfeng’s side hurriedly. “Nanfeng, Director Shang wants to see you when you’re done here.”
“I’ll go later,” Su Nanfeng said.
Wei Xu probably didn’t want to stay in the same place as Ming Shu, but she was a little worried that Su Nanfeng and Ming Shu might do something, so she was at a loss now about leaving or not.
“Wei Xu, come here.” Someone called her from outside, so she had to leave while looking back from time to time.
Su Nanfeng moved his lips. “Senior Sister, later… Can I watch?”
Ming Shu told the a.s.sistant to place the equipment first, and her face was occupied by a beaming smile. “Watch me, or Yu Xiaohan?”
Su Nanfeng looked slightly embarra.s.sed. “Senior Sister, you…”
Probably he didn’t understand why Ming Shu would suddenly say something like this. The last time he met Yu Xiaohan, he didn’t even say a word to her. How could she know?
“If you want to stay, buy me some snacks. I’m very easy to buy off.”
Su Nanfeng was somehow amused, but then recovered soon. “Senior Sister, you love eating so much. It’s just like Little Han.”
“Oh.” Ming Shu became interested and her eyes lit up. “Can she cook?”
Su Nanfeng thought for a while, then shook his head.
Ming Shu waved her hand. “Go buy the snacks now.”
I don’t need a female protagonist that can’t cook. No no no.
Su Nanfeng: “…” She seemed very interested a second ago, but how does she look so disdainful immediately?
Su Nanfeng sent his a.s.sistant to buy snacks, and he specially asked him to buy two things that Little Han loved.
Su Nanfeng finished his work very soon. The staff began to set the scene for later use, and Ming Shu and Su Nanfeng sat on the sofa nearby.
The a.s.sistant came back with snacks. Su Nanfeng picked several things and gave the rest of them all to Ming Shu.
Su Nanfeng then watched Ming Shu open a box of cake. She ate up the chocolate topping first, then it was the cream.
He suddenly began to talk. “Little Han and I know each other since middle school. Little Han was always beautiful. She also had good grades back then, and was always the boys’ favorite topic.”
The doomed love, sorry, the destiny between Yu Xiaohan and Su Nanfeng began from a sports meeting in middle school.
Yu Xiaohan was called and took part in the 1500m race. When she was about to finish the journey, she suddenly fainted.
The teacher called Su Nanfeng’s name and asked him to carry Yu Xiaohan to the infirmary.
The two met each other in this way. Later they found that they had a lot in common, and they became good friends.
“If that thing hadn’t happened, I might have gone to college with her, and we would have been married after graduation…” Su Nanfeng’s voice became weaker.
As for what that thing was, Ming Shu didn’t know.
But according to the cliched plotline, it was highly possible that it was just a misunderstanding.
“I’m sorry, Senior Sister, I may have spoken too much.” He was also surprised that he actually talked to her so much.
Ming Shu smiled casually. “It’s okay, I wasn’t listening, anyway.”
Su Nanfeng: “…”
When he just got in college, he heard the name Jiang Qiao. She hadn’t graduated back then, and just like Little Han in middle school, she was the shining star on campus.
He had no access to her at school and only knew that she had very powerful photography skills.
The students in photography department adored her very much.
Later, after she graduated, the name Jiang Qiao was mentioned less.
He thought she was a person who might be hard to get along with. But after several times meeting her, he found that although she liked saying provocative words, she was actually a caring friend.
He came up with one sentence—A man covered with thorns would also bloom soft flowers in his heart.
–
Yu Xiaohan and Wei Xu came in together. It was just over two months since they last met, but Yu Xiaohan looked much more haggard, and her entire person seemed spiritless.
Su Nanfeng directly stood up, which startled Ming Shu to hold her snacks tighter.
Why so big a movement.
Perhaps Su Nanfeng also realized it was a little abrupt to just stand up, so he sat down in a rush again.
Ming Shu: “…”
This male protagonist, are you trying to scare me dead so as to inherit my snacks?
Wei Xu noticed Su Nanfeng’s movement, but Yu Xiaohan didn’t. Yu Xiaohan followed the working staff into the dressing room as soon as she came in.
“Nanfeng, we’re done here. Director Shang is waiting for you.” I can’t let Su Nanfeng and Yu Xiaohan stay together.
“Tell Director Shang I’ll be there soon.” Su Nanfeng’s tone became cold.
“But…” Wei Xu looked at Ming Shu and bit her lip. “I don’t know how to tell Director Shang… Director Shang is getting angry, and it’s scary.”
