The Right Way to Conquer a Donor

On the open-air school square, more than a dozen rows of brackets with a height of half a person were neatly lined up. Except for the podium, the other three sides were surrounded by tapes. The students who had submitted their works were all gathered outside, waiting for the judges to arrive.

Most of the students do not need to attend class on Saturday morning. Those who came out to look for food were attracted by the passionate music, and they walked over to find out while chatting with their companions.

Many audiences gathered at the venue. The quality of activities held by the Yanda Association has always been high. Photography, as a popular art, is easy to be accepted by people. The competition must be very exciting, after all, the previous posters are very bullish.

Standing in the crowd is the best way to tell whether a person is handsome or outstanding.

There were a lot of people in the square, some of them just came to watch, some came to participate in the competition, and the presidents of various schools inevitably gathered together to greet each other.

There are still more boys than girls who play photography.And the boys of this major don't know if it's because they pay attention to aesthetics, and the level of dressing and appearance is higher than that of other majors.Some boys' hairstyles and temperaments are still very similar, and they are not so outstanding when they get together.

However, this benefited the girls of Yanda University. A few long-legged boys from other schools attracted a lot of attention.

Among a group of outstanding male and female students, Gu Huan is neither the tallest nor the most handsome, but his delicate and thin appearance is very eye-catching. Just standing there and doing nothing has a calm and far-reaching temperament.Perhaps it was because he had been with Rong Shangyan for a long time, and he showed a calm and unhurried spirit in his gestures.

Most of the people who came to join in the fun noticed the handsome boys in the arena, discussing in a low voice, with a hint of excitement hidden under the sound of the music.

Gu Huan also helped to paste a photo with a number and hang it on the bracket. The tall and straight back and the neat pace of the slender legs are pleasing to the eye.

Ever since he was taught by Mr. Rong once to "walk with his back straight", he always raises his chest subconsciously when he walks, and pays attention to his sitting and standing postures, trying not to behave badly in front of Mr. Rong. Follow it as if it were a holy decree.But the advantage of this is that the temperament has changed invisibly, even though she is still introverted, she is more confident than before.

After showing the photos, Gu Huan went back to the temporary tent set up for the competition. There was their workbench, and a group of club members gathered inside to make preparations.

Two hosts, a man and a woman, came over after changing their formal attire, and were adjusting the microphone and music with the students from the broadcasting department who came to help outside the venue.

They met once when they were exchanging work before, and they smiled and nodded at each other as a greeting, after all, they were busy at hand.

"It's past nine o'clock, Mr. Wang and the others should come..."

It would be a lie to say that he is not nervous, Luo Feifan has hosted events not once or twice, but this time it is different!Just talking about their judges, Mr. Wang Pingchuan alone is enough to make his legs tremble. This is a well-known figure in the photography world!

"You watch for me, and notify me immediately when the judges come." He confessed before being called away.

Those judges, Gu Huan, only knew one or two!Looking at the president's hurried back, he could only swallow his words, and Gu Huan looked around seriously.

"This year's competition is really fierce. It seems to me that the level of the participants is not low. Are you nervous?" The members who participated in the competition next to him paced back and forth, thinking: "My God, I thought Teacher Wang and Xu Jingnan would come to me. So nervous! Xu Jingnan is my god!"

Gu Huan had seen this name on the list of judges, and asked blankly, "Xu Jingnan?"

The girl stared at him and jumped up: "Nani?! Xu Jingnan, don't you know? A genius photographer who just won the Hasselblad Award from abroad last year! He is my idol!"

"That's it...then he's really amazing." Gu Huan nodded guiltily, having no impression of the genius photographer at all.

Female employee: "..." Don't think I didn't see that you were perfunctory!I really want to grab his shoulders and shake Science Pu's own handsome male god!However, when she thought that this was the person she and her seniors called a little angel...she held back the prehistoric power in her body.

Gu Huan silently turned his head away.

Not long after, the judges came over under the leadership of the members, and Gu Huan hurried to inform Luo Feifan.

The three judges, two men and one woman, shook hands with the instructor and Luo Feifan at the rostrum, exchanged greetings for a while, and then sat down.

Looking at the excited look of the female classmate just now, I knew that Xu Jingnan was also among them, and the atmosphere at the scene was even more enthusiastic because of the arrival of these three.

After a while, Wang Pingchuan and a professor from the photography department of the school came together, and the peripheral media reporters seized the opportunity to point the camera at them.

Gu Huan stood relatively far away, blocking several floors of people in the middle, so he had to poke his head in for a few glances before withdrawing his attention.

"Hey! Come on, put it in for me!"

A girl holding a large framed photo came running to the side of the tent. Panting, she put the photo frame into Gu Huan's hand, then raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead: "Fortunately, I made it in time..."

There was only one last bracket left in the arena, Gu Huan quickly hung up the photo while everyone was paying attention to the judges.

When he came out, the music in the arena had changed, the host was introducing the association competition, and the reporter's camera was on the audience.

"Oh, by the way, thank you." The girl with ponytails casually pulled a stool to sit on, not at all excited.

Gu Huan remembered her name "Xu Yulu" when he posted the number for her just now, and smiled indifferently: "You're welcome."

The host's lines were full of passion, and he was introducing several judges, who knew all about their awards and achievements.

"What's so great, I have to talk about it every time, it's so annoying to hear..." Xu Yulu muttered, and asked, "Do you think Xu Jingnan is really so great?"

"Although I didn't know him before, the person who can win the Hasselblad Award must not be bad!" How many people dream of the Hasselblad Photography Award, Gu Huan looked at the stage with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Xu Yulu kicked the floor tiles unhappily, "Hmph..."

Gu Huan couldn't answer, so he could only laugh dryly and look over everyone's heads to look at the host intently.

The host has already introduced the female judge at the end. It is good to say that the scene is very beautiful and harmonious.After reading the rules of the game, the game was finally announced, and the main event came.

The first part of the competition is the primary selection. The five judges entered the field and recorded the numbers of the works they thought were qualified.

When they got up and walked down, everyone moved unconsciously and lowered their voices to talk.

There are more than 200 photos on the field, and a judge has to look at [-] photos on average, so the workload is not small.In order to prevent the audience from being too bored during this period, the two hosts introduced the battles of previous years.

The primary selection process was very fast. Gu Huan thought it would take half an hour, but it turned out that he underestimated the judges too much.

In about 10 minutes, the five judges returned to the rostrum with their notebooks, looking very relaxed.

"As you can see, our teacher's appreciation speed is very fast, which requires a lot of art appreciation skills! There are less than [-] works left in the primary selection field, and the competition is really fierce! Next is the candidate stage, please invite the judges and teachers to enter the venue again for selection—"

After they continued to walk into rows of brackets, the host began to announce the list of primary elections.

"Hey, did you participate in the competition?" The girl with ponytail sitting behind Gu Huan suddenly asked.

Gu Huan came back and nodded in a daze.

"I don't think you're nervous at all. Are you confident in yourself?"

"No, I'm just average..."

The girl's words were a bit sharp, but Gu Huan couldn't handle it, so she replied modestly.

"Then what do you think of mine?" Xu Yulu asked with a smile when the host just read her name.

I have to say that Gu Huan was amazed by her work at first, it was a bird's-eye view, transitioning from a snow-covered forest to a grassy plain, the whole picture has only two colors - white and The green is colliding, which has a great sense of visual impact.

But Gu Huan is not good at complimenting others at all, so he thought for a while and said, "Very good!"

Xu Yulu choked on her breath, and gave him a blank look: "Nonsense."

After talking nonsense, Gu Huan moved silently, standing a little further away from her.

That is to say, after walking around more than ten rows of brackets, the five judges returned to the rostrum together again, sat down and rested for a while.

"After the second round of selection by the judges and teachers, the candidate round is over! I really have to say that the competition is very fierce, and the requirements of our teachers are also very high! The number of selected works is very limited, [-] pieces! Next is The judges and teachers will strive for perfection, let us wait and see!" The host faced the camera with enthusiasm.

The preliminary selection is very simple to screen out most of the works with obvious problems such as irregular horizon, distortion of buildings, color cast of photos, cluttered composition and focus, obvious PS traces, improper exposure, etc., and basic skills are not in place.

There should be no flaws in the technology that can enter the candidate, at least no obvious shortcomings in exposure, clarity, depth of field, and composition.

It is reasonable to say that there are many films that can meet these conditions, but which of the judges who came this time is not strict in photography?I'm afraid they already have a favorite work in their hearts, and they don't want to waste time in tedious links.

But it is still necessary to give the students some background, otherwise the thirty cards will be halved.
