Introduction to Happy Entrepreneurship of Tang University after 80s.
It is precisely because of the three-month video recording that he invisibly linked photography with happiness and felt that his future career plan should be "doing one thing happily".
Tong Dazheng is happily walking on the road of starting his own business. He has the shadow of the current young people's fashion and trends, as well as their fighting spirit of breaking the rules and persisting in love. But, most importantly, their dreams have love. Selflessness is the most touching inheritance.
On the morning when I met Tong Da, it was raining in Mao Mao. At the intersection of the east corner of CPPCC Auditorium in Xicheng District, a red Kia Sauer stopped. Tongda, who came from Wukesong, still had thin sweat on his nose. Chubby, he wears a pair of black rimless decorative glasses, a plaid shirt and a backpack that never leaves his body-the backpack is his favorite thing: fully armed photographic equipment. A white tooth smiled at the reporter: "Hello! I am Tongda. "
Tongda graduated from Beijing Vocational College of Economics and Technology and started his own business. Now she is a professional photographer. Photography is his second life.
"I didn't think of being a professional photographer at first. Later, I went to college and suddenly became interested in taking pictures. " Tonda, majoring in journalism at the university, said while playing with his baby Canon EOS40D.
Tong Da has the general optimism and humor in Beijing children's personality, but he claims to have always been an "inferior child". It was photography that made him find the way to express his feelings, changed his personality and finally made it his entrepreneurial direction. A gorgeous turn at the traffic lights
"I worked as an intern at Beijing TV Station's' Traffic Lights' for three months, when I was a' universal assistant'."
Every college student has had his own confusion period before entering the society. At that time, Tong Da knew what he could do, and what he would do as an intern majoring in journalism, but he had not thought about what he would do and what he would do in his future career planning. The future has infinite possibilities in his eyes.
"At that time, I thought I might be a reporter, a program director, an administrator, an assistant, or any occupation." Tong Da said.
Photography really touched him after graduating from college in 2009. Because his family didn't put too much pressure on his employment, he and his friends went to various places every day and took many beautiful photos with their cameras. "That was my happiest 3 months." Tong Da was intoxicated with memories. "Regardless of the future, happiness every day is to freeze all kinds of beautiful images." It is precisely because of the three-month video recording that he invisibly linked photography with happiness and felt that his future career plan should be "doing one thing happily".
At this time, he vaguely had the idea of "freelancer". Of course, it's not clear yet. But what is clear is that he no longer wants to be an "assistant", but wants to connect his interests with his work.
So, after experiencing the "traffic lights" of life, Tongda turned around and wanted to do what he liked. Life before starting a business
Tongda's first formal job was as a photographer in a children's photography city in Sanyuanqiao.
"The children are lovely. Especially when this childlike innocence is fixed in the camera. " Tong Da said.
The children's city is very big. What Tong Da and other photographers do every day is to "stare at the fields", take pictures of the children and give them to the photography city. The photography city sells photos of children's cute expressions to parents, and then gives the photographer a commission.
At that time, the basic salary of Tangda was 1800 yuan after tax, and at least 2,000 photos were taken a day. When the commission is the best, you can get more than 10000 a month.
However, Tong Da's feelings for Children's City are very complicated.
It is undeniable that he got professional training here for the first time-the team once trained in Miyun closed management for a month, which provided a good platform for him to get the practice of photography operation to the greatest extent, and the business operation mode was also a valuable asset he learned. It laid a certain foundation for his own business.
However, the conflict between enterprise concept and implementation is also fully reflected here.
"We photographers don't get the respect they deserve." The educational concept of children's city is very advanced, but the executors have not made good use of it.
"For example, I respect my movies very much. Bad photos will not be given to parents and will be deleted. However, the photography city will set a minimum number of photos to be sold every day for each photographer, and the money will be deducted if it is not reached. In addition, the work they arranged for us is very intensive, and it is difficult to guarantee the quality of the film finally handed over to parents. " Tong Da said.
Later, many common problems and nepotism appeared in the management. Managers with low quality regard them as tools to make money for their own interests, and even often conflict with them.
When the purity of photography was defiled, Tongda felt that it was contrary to his original intention of loving freelance photography. It doesn't feel right
So, a year later, he resigned. Take control of your future.
Tonda is gone again. The difference is that he already knows where he is going.
Tongda's idea represents the original intention of the next batch of young people to start a business.
Tong Da and a partner who also loves photography started shooting.
"I am not an equipment party, nor is it a technology flow. I think happiness is very important in this business. " Tong Da said. He believes that the most important thing in starting a business is not passion. Everyone has passion, but persists. The transformation difficulty encountered in the early stage of entrepreneurship is how to turn pure love into an industry insistence and become more professional and responsible.
"I am very grateful to my family." When it comes to starting a business, Tong Da's flashing eyes are moving. "They didn't give me employment pressure like ordinary parents and supported me to do what I like. Also, my former partner, he is a very thoughtful person. We designed the logo of our studio together. He's fine. "
Tongda handed the reporters his business card. On the low-key wood grain paper, a logo similar to the camera pattern is very lively, which left a deep impression on the reporter.
Tangda's appointment channel is very fashionable, which is through Renren.com (formerly called intranet), and now it is very popular among young people.
Tongda is an active user in Renren.com, and her photo album is updated very frequently. The subjects of Tongda's shooting are very extensive, but most of them are related to fashion trends.
During the interview, Tongda received three phone calls and repeatedly said sorry to reporters. The phone was full of business: midi concert No.5, sports meeting No.6, wedding No.7.
It seems that Tongda's business is very good.
Young dream
Good news. At the time of publication, Tong Da told reporters that he had just signed a contract with the gallery recently. Gallery is a cooperation platform that many photographers dream of, and it is also an authoritative judgment that can be recognized in the fields of commerce and art. It can be seen that Tongda's photographic strength is excellent. Signing a contract with the gallery means that he can sell high-quality photos through the gallery and have a relatively stable income.
Tongda's current career plan is to further expand its film shooting field by maintaining a professional website. At present, Tongda is well-known in the photography circle, and the reputation of photography technology and affinity is the reason why customers look for him. Most of them became good friends and regular customers after a cooperation.
Tongda has his own dream: to open a real photography school in the future to help those children who have the same photography dream. He believes that the current training of domestic photographers
Compared with foreign countries, the model has many defects-the studio has actually become a "crash course" for training photographers, and the "professional photographers" in the studio are often not "professional". Too many commercial interests are linked to the talent training mode, and there will definitely be problems.
"But now, I am not a professional myself," Tong Da has always been modest. "I'm still far from those masters. I am trying to improve my skills and ideas. " Making money has never been the focus of Tangda's entrepreneurship. He often watches foreign photographers' films on their websites, and constantly improves his photography level through professional books and participating in some foreign exchange activities.
Although there is still a long way to go to establish a professional photography school that does not aim at commercial operation, his spirit of admiration, love and inheritance of photography is touching.
Dreams are always the easiest to move Especially the dreams of young people. Because it is full of innocence, purity and ideals. (
