Bojun and Xiao never have islands

Chapter 1

The photographer bit the straw in the coffee cup in his hand, flipping through the camera manual to kill time bored.

The weather in Shanghai in July is hot and humid.

Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the cafe, you can also feel the heat wave rolling outside the window.Two o'clock in the afternoon is exactly the time when I know that I don't want to go out.

The photographer looked at his phone, and there were still three hours before check-in began.

The next job location is a thousand kilometers away, and it is a commercial shooting of a new set of Christmas costumes.Some people's midsummer has just begun, while others are planning for the end of the year. This job, whether in terms of time or space, often makes people feel time-traveled.

However, photographers like this rhythm very much.

The previous work ended ahead of schedule, and the brand provided photographers with a new camera for trial use after the new product launch event. In addition to the appearance, the update of other configurations will take a while to feel...

Ding--

"Ms. Xiao, thank you for the evaluation of the new camera!" A new message popped up on the photographer's phone.

"Can you post some content first this afternoon? Our release rhythm needs to be tighter." Another one.

"You need to bring brand keywords in the copy..." Another one.

The photographer sighed, looking at the open road outside the window, thinking about how to decline these urgent needs that cannot be met at the moment.

At this time, the roar of the engine sounded outside the window, and the sound became stronger and stronger. A black figure broke through the sleepy street in the hot summer like a thunderbolt, and left with a hot wind in just a second...

The photographer was stunned, regretting not grabbing the camera in time.

Ten minutes later, there was another burst of arrogant engine sound, coming from the direction just now.This time the photographer saw a few touches of neon green on the black helmet of the cyclist, and the black and white shirt fluttering in the wind.

In the next 10 minutes, the photographer did not hesitate and captured more details through the lens. This Yamaha R6 was replaced with a Scorpio exhaust, no wonder the sound was stronger.The license plate is... (this one needs a mosaic).The driver wore a silver necklace around his neck, and a small pendant with a bull's head flew back in the wind.

The photographer is very satisfied with the focusing speed and dynamic anti-shake of the new camera. After the camera keeps up with the speeding car outside and presses the shutter for a long time, a set of test photos of the new camera is completed.

Another 10 minutes, the car flew past again...

The photographer opened the notebook and processed the snapshot just now, and formed a nine-square grid. The one in the middle is the front view of the new phone, and uploaded it to the social platform.Simply marked the photo parameters and circled the brand side.I sent a message back to the PR contact: "Hello, the test shot of the new machine has been sent out, and the review article will be sorted out within this week and will be sent to you."

The other party immediately responded with a thank you expression.After a while, the brand side reposted the content he posted.

During this period, the person and the motorcycle were still speeding past regularly.

The photographer turned off the computer, drank the last sip of coffee, and walked towards the terminal building with his bag on his back.

This afternoon, the person and the motorcycle passed by more than ten times.In the end, I also entered this coffee shop and ordered a cup of iced Americano.

Three hours later, when the photographer got off the plane and turned on his phone, he was overwhelmed by the influx of news. The number of message reminders on the Weibo and WeChat apps directly became ellipses...

The first call that came in was disconnected before it was connected, and the second call in the next second directly restarted the phone automatically.

The photographer was wondering about the abnormality of the mobile phone, and the call from trafficmanager came in.

"Mr. Xiao, you finally turned on the phone!"

"Well, I just arrived in Beijing, is there something urgent?"

"Ms. Xiao! You are really good at picking people to shoot! We are going to receive a lawyer's letter!"

"What?" The photographer stood in front of the luggage carousel in a daze.

"Before you get on the plane! I took pictures of the driver of the Y team, and now others are going to sue us! It doesn't matter if you take pictures of him. It's okay to post product photos, but now the brand has interacted with you! This article is still very popular...how do you think we should deal with it? Teacher Xiao?!"

"Give me 3 minutes first."

"You first……"

The photographer hung up the phone, confused and adding a bucket of dog blood, there should be something wrong with the photos in the afternoon.

The highly praised comments in the comment area of ​​the social accounts that were flooded are:

-The little brother Ke Keke in the photo, within 3 minutes, I want all his information!

-Guiding Account @Y Team-85

- Looking for the price of the new machine?

The photographer followed the clues and clicked into the account of @Y车车-85, which was authenticated as a driver of the Y Fleet-Youth Team.The photographer flipped through his homepage, and there was no content other than racing-related information and photos of the race.The comment area is set to prohibit replies, no life photos, no daily sharing, and the number of likes and reposts is abnormally high, comparable to second- and third-tier stars.

If it weren't for the fact that the helmet on his profile picture was the same as the one in the photo in the afternoon, the photographer really wouldn't be able to identify the owner of this account as the protagonist he "stolenly photographed".

Before the photographer clicked on the other party's company account to learn more, the call came in again.

"you saw it?"

"Well...the other party wants to sue me? Violation of portrait rights?"

"Not really. The other party is a race car driver, and now they are in the limelight. There are so many sponsor logos on their bodies during the competition. Do you know that they didn't get the sponsorship of competing cameras?"

It can't be such a coincidence, can it?If there is a competing brand of today's camera among the sponsors of the opposing team, it is not as simple as a violation of portrait rights, which involves the damage of multiple interests.

But the photographer remembers not seeing the logo tags of other camera manufacturers in the pile of photos just looking through.

"You're lucky!" the trafficmanager continued, "After you posted the photo, the brand contacted us. This team won their sponsorship in the second half of the year, and the two sides will cooperate for half a year. You just happened to give They created momentum. With the help of that popular racing driver, the main selling point of the new machine was revealed..."

The photographer breathed a sigh of relief. The company has just started on track in the past two years, and he doesn't want the company to get involved in commercial disputes at this time.

"So, are you calling to scare me?"

"No. I took the job for you."

"This job? What job?" The photographer finally got the luggage on the carousel, listened to the trafficmanager's words, and almost hit his foot when he took it off.

"In the second half of this year, you will join the team and do photography."

"I reject."

"You know I don't accept long-term jobs."

"The pay is great."

"Do you know how hot this outdoor environment is?"

"The pay is great."

"You know I'm going to be on leave in December."

"It just so happens that December is the winter break for racing, so you don't have to go to work. Moreover, the pay is very good, and I can grant you another month's leave."

"OK! Deal."

The photographer hung up the phone without hesitation.

Then I received the brief of the new job in the mailbox, and the next two weeks have been clearly arranged, and 24 hours a day are planned on the schedule.

the next day.

The photographer and production team, dozens of models, and the costume team spent a whole day in the studio in Beijing, and finally completed six groups of Christmas-themed shooting.After staying up for another two hours, the photographer was suddenly reluctant to leave the air-conditioned studio after finishing the primary selection of photos with the brand.

Ding--

"Mr. Xiao, hello, we are the PR team of Team Y. Here is the work schedule for tomorrow, please take a look. We will pick you up at the airport tomorrow."

Another workgroup.

The photographer replied with a cat-mao-ok expression.

The plane landed in Zhuhai.This city further south is surprisingly less hot and humid.

Finally arrived at the Zhuhai International Circuit, the rest area of ​​the P room of the Y team.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Xiao from K Photography."

"Mr. Xiao, our work this week. Today, we will take a group of frontal photos of the drivers and the team as an announcement for the second half of the season... Then we will go to the track on Thursday... After practice on Friday, we will do some The warm-up of the brand..."

The photographer was immersed in studying a pile of documents given by the staff. A boy with chestnut hair in a T-shirt came in from the glass door. He took a can of Coke from the refrigerator and left a few bottles with engine oil on the refrigerator. Fingerprints, and walked out dangling again.

"Little Bo. Hey——Little Bo, come here!"

The boy opened the door again and walked in.

"?"

"Xiao Bo, this is the photographer who will cooperate with the team in the second half of the season. I will take a promotional photo for you later. Go and get ready!"

With a cold expression on his face, the young man reluctantly moved the corner of his mouth and nodded.

"Hello."

"Hello! Please take care of me." The photographer saw the small bull's head pendant on his chest, and suddenly realized that this kid was the racing driver who was "stolen" by him.

The racer who stood in front of the camera wearing a racing suit was not as unrestrained as he was on the motorcycle that day, and was a little embarrassed and cramped.

"Don't be nervous, Xiao Bo, just take a photo as your ID." Teammate Lao Zheng encouraged him.So the racer's face became even colder.

Frontal, arms folded, helmet half-clad... After finishing the classic poses from all angles, the stiff face of the racing driver finally relaxed.Because the next group of photos finally has a motorcycle as a "prop". Although the boy sitting on the motorcycle is wearing a helmet, it still cannot conceal the boy's high spirits and confidence.

The asphalt track, which has been exposed to the sun for a day, is full of heat at this time.

The people who were fully armed did not protest at all, and swayed on the motorcycle in coordination.But the photographer felt that the exposed arm was about to be scorched.

The photographer felt that although the design of the boy's racing suit was very cool, and the paintwork of this car was also very eye-catching, but all of these seemed to exist only to support the boy, and he was driving them.

The photographer feels that the operation of this new camera can be given a five-star praise today, and the color of the imaging can also be given a five-star praise.

The photographer felt that the shooting this time was a good experience, apart from the heat and the sun.Suddenly there is no such resistance to this long-term cooperation.
