"Photographer": I have only taken one photo in my life

Introduction

On the first night of the May Day holiday, after dinner, I watched a movie that I accidentally saw, which was "The Photographer". It tells the story of an old man who only took one photo in his life, which is a photo of how Shenzhen transformed from a small fishing village into a metropolis

Introduction

The film tells the story Three generations of the Cai family, a well-known photography family in Shenzhen, persist in their dreams. Grandson Cai Xiangren runs a photo studio in the old city of Shenzhen. From the simplest ID photos at the beginning, to his father Cai Anguo's wedding photos and personal portraits that keep pace with the times, to his grandson Cai Zhengxiong's pursuit of photo quality, Moved to the development of mobile phone camera software.

From Lao Cai’s wife choosing to go to Hong Kong, to Juanzi marrying in Shenzhen, to an American girl pursuing a cross-border relationship with a Chinese guy. They all show the ups and downs of little people in the development of the times.

This is because Lao Cai’s family is very poor, but he prefers taking pictures. His wife A-Lian went to Hong Kong to work and she sneaked away overnight. He also left a letter for Lao Cai. Ask him to take his son with him for a few years, and he will come back when he earns enough money. However, Alian did not fulfill her promise.

The sentence that touched me the most in the letter was that on the top of Wutong Mountain, we could see the smoke from our house. Alian asked Lao Cai to take a photo of Shenzhen on Wutong Mountain, overlooking Shenzhen.

Lao Cai's son Anguo also likes taking pictures, but his daughter-in-law Juanzi is very opposed to it, thinking that it is right to open his own company if he can't make much money. Anguo is very angry and helpless.

A Guo’s son has also been influenced by A Guo’s grandfather since he was a child. He has known about small hole imaging since he was 5 years old, and understands why his grandfather pursued that craftsmanship spirit.

In fact, the original intention of inventing this software was because Axiong’s family received a business and asked to organize the photos into a book. However, due to his own mistakes, the order was not completed on time, and he Our factory suffered losses.

In order to recover this loss, Juanzi decided to invest in his son, because his dream was to design a software that would allow everyone to take photos and become a videographer.

Ah Xiong was very angry about his mother's investment in him, so he ran out of the house in anger, which made Lao Cai fall ill. He recovered quickly, but he became hemiplegic.

As a result, Ah Xiong began to study with great concentration, starting from a wooden camera, and seriously studied and understood the mysteries of the camera.

Seven years later, Ah Xiong produced this software and tested it. It can capture the universe, it can adapt, it can be used in night mode, and the photos are very clear, but this software only has technology.

At the exchange meeting, in order to promote this technology, a cooperative approach was adopted, using mobile phones as the carrier. Our own company invented the chip, and A Guo’s son tested the technology.

Lao Cai is still thinking about Alian and wants to include her in his family tree.

Lao Cai insists on climbing stairs every day. Because his wife Alian once told him that the smoke from their home can only be seen on Wutong Mountain.

So Aguo and Lao Cai set out for Wutong Mountain on a rainy night. They experienced difficulties along the way because there were many steps and the road was slippery. Lao Cai would fall down if he was not careful. There was no way. Ah, Anguo carried the old man on his back and climbed up the mountain.

I actually felt a little sad when I saw that scene. But in the end they overcame the difficulties, climbed to the top of the mountain, and after dawn, waited for the photo they particularly wanted.

Lao Cai took out the mobile phone his grandson gave him and took the photo. The old man's wish was also fulfilled.

A few years later, a batch of photos were put on display. One of the aspects that moved me was that a woman was taken a photo by a photographer when she was 17 years old. Today After returning home, I suddenly discovered that the woman in the photo was me, and the photographer asked to take another photo of her.

At this point the film is gradually coming to an end. Lao Cai finally took the stage and gave a speech. He said that I was just an ordinary photographer who had only taken one photo.

The leaves have something to say

I feel that Lao Cai climbed the mountain with difficulty just for that photo on a rainy day. Even if he fell, he had to get up bravely. At that moment, he really It’s not easy, it’s the love of photography.

Take photos of your family’s memories and record them. Don’t throw away these memories.
