Chapter 439 The 437th photo (first update, please subscribe!)

"Jianguo, look, there is a photo studio in front of you. How about we go take pictures? I haven't taken pictures in a long time." King He Yuyu suddenly pointed to a photo studio in front and said with joy on his face.

For people in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, being able to take a photo can make you happy all day long.

In this era, taking pictures is an extremely rare thing, not only because the price of taking pictures is very expensive, but more importantly, photo studios are quite rare, and many places have no photo studios at all.

He Yuyu said that she hadn't taken pictures for a long time. In fact, it should be said that she had never taken pictures until now. That's why He Yuyu was so excited after seeing this photo studio.

Zhou Jianguo did not refuse and followed He Yuyu to the photo studio.

This photo studio seems to be newly opened. The facade is still very new, and the windows still have some window grilles from when it opened. There are five big characters on the front, 'Jianguo Photo Studio'.

The name of the photo studio is quite special, it is exactly the same as Zhou Jianguo's name.

"Jianguo Photo Studio, haha, it's exactly the same as my name." Zhou Jianguo became interested.

Such photo studios in the previous life have long since disappeared into the dust of history. At that time, you would only take photos when you wanted to take ID photos. At other times, you would not go to any photo studio at all.

If you have a mobile phone, you will go to a photo studio wherever you go.

Now that he saw the photo studio of this era, Zhou Jianguo was really interested in it and wanted to take a look inside.

"Grandma, we haven't taken pictures for a long time, haven't we?" Zhou Jianguo asked as he looked at the photo studio.

"Well, I haven't taken pictures for nearly ten years." The old lady nodded.

I haven't taken pictures for ten years, not because I don't want to take pictures, but because I wanted to avoid taboos at that time.

At that time, everyone had limited understanding of photography, and for some special reasons, everyone said that photography would take away your soul.

Although Zhou Hai and his wife knew that this was actually nonsense said by others and nothing would happen if they took pictures, the old lady didn't care about it. She firmly opposed taking pictures, fearing that taking pictures would take away Zhou Jianguo's soul.

Zhou Jianguo was already in very bad health at that time, and it would be even more dangerous if his soul was taken away again.

The old lady's attitude was extremely firm at that time, and at that time Zhou Hai and his wife considered that they were both royal guards and it was better not to keep the photos, so they did not object to the old lady's insistence.

This is why there aren't many photos of the house.

However, now that all this has passed, Zhou Jianguo's heart disease has recovered, and the old lady no longer insists.

The old lady actually knew that nothing would happen if she took the photo, let alone having her soul taken away. However, at that time, this was the only thing she could do for Zhou Jianguo. Zhou Hai and his wife also knew this, so they did not object.

"Okay, Jianguo, let's take a photo today." The old lady said with a smile.

"Grandma, I will also take some photos with you then." He Yuyu said with excitement.

"Okay, grandma will take the photo with you then." The old lady patted He Yuyu's hand.

"Zhuzi, I also want to take photos, but I don't have any photos." Qin Huairu was also moved.

"Okay, we will shoot together then." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Soon, a group of people walked into the photo studio.

Walking into the photo studio, Zhou Jianguo found that the photo studio was quite large, covering an area of ​​over a hundred square meters. There were many photos placed inside. Although Zhou Jianguo could not tell whether the photos were good or bad, the photos placed here were

It gives people a very comfortable feeling.

"The skills of the photographers here should be very good." Zhou Jianguo thought secretly in his heart.

There were not many customers in the photo studio, only three or four.

No way, photography was not cheap in the 1960s. A photo usually cost around 50 or 60 cents. This price was enough to buy several kilograms of food. Moreover, you couldn’t eat the photo, and you couldn’t.

Very few people will spend this money to take pictures, so there are very few people who actually come to the photo studio to take pictures.

Oh, you said that when everyone gets married, don’t they need to take wedding photos?

I'm really sorry. In the 1960s, marriage certificates were all handwritten, and people really didn't need a wedding photo to get married at this time. When it was mandatory to require a wedding photo on a marriage certificate, it was already 1993, so the photo studio

A major function, taking wedding photos, does not exist in this era.

Those who really come to the photo studio to take pictures are either young men and women, parents of newborns, and some intellectuals. Therefore, despite the huge crowds at the Chenghuang Temple Fair, the people who come here to take pictures are actually not.

not much.

In this era, no one has much spare money, so no one loves taking pictures.

"It's really unique. These should be used as backgrounds!" Zhou Jianguo looked at the colorful canvases in front of him, including blue sky and white clouds, flowers, plants, trees, animals, and even some buildings.

canvas

Zhou Jianguo didn't count much, but the number here should be around twenty or thirty. These curtains are now very new and colorful. Girls like Yu Yu and Zhou Xiaobai fell in love with them as soon as they saw them.

Next to these background curtains, there are five or six photographic samples taken with such background curtains. Zhou Jianguo guessed that they should be photos left in the past. Now they are displayed so that people can see the effect and then choose which ones to use.

Same background.

Zhou Jianguo and his group were quite large. As soon as they entered, the photographer in the photo studio noticed them. However, he was still taking photos of the previous group, so he first motioned for them to sit down.

Three minutes later, the photographer finished taking pictures of the previous group of people, and then came over with a smile on his face, and greeted Zhou Jianguo and his group enthusiastically: "Gentlemen, ladies, and old ladies, are you taking pictures? How many people are taking pictures?"

"Yes, we are here to take pictures, and we have to take pictures of everything." Zhou Jianguo said.

"All?!" The photographer's face was overjoyed. He didn't expect such a big deal to come this time. There were more than a dozen people in Zhou Jianguo's group. If they all wanted to take photos, it would really be a big deal.

Business.

Taking photos of more than a dozen people, single photos, couple photos, and family photos, the number is not small. It is definitely the biggest business since he opened the store.

"Comrade, how much does it cost to take a photo here?" He Yuyu looked at the photographer and asked.

Although she really wanted to take pictures, it was better to ask about the price first.

"It's five cents per photo. If you take a lot of photos, it will be cheaper for you," the photographer said.

He could tell that Zhou Jianguo and his party would definitely take a lot of photos this time, so he gave some discounts.

"In this way, if you take twenty photos, I will give you forty-five cents per photo, and if you take thirty or more photos, I will give you forty-cents per photo."

The photographer is quite sincere. There are eleven people in Zhou Jianguo's group. Eleven are needed for single photos. Plus the subsequent couple photos and family photos, there are more than twenty photos.

The photographer was able to set the discount on twenty photos, which is indeed sincerity.

Zhou Jianguo nodded, the price is indeed very favorable, "Okay, let's send out some photos today. You can take whatever you want, and then we will take a family photo."

Afterwards, Zhou Jianguo walked to the old lady and said with a smile: "Grandma, let's take a photo first."

"Well, I'll listen to you, grandson." The old lady agreed with a smile.

"Grandma, let me clean it up for you." Yuyu stepped forward and helped the old lady tidy up, especially her hair, which was cleaned and tidy.

After the old lady had finished cleaning up, Zhou Jianguo stood beside the old lady and said to the photographer on the side: "Comrade, we are ready. You can take a picture for us first."

"Okay, but don't you choose a background?" the photographer asked while swinging the camera in his hand.

"No, it's better to use a natural background." Zhou Jianguo waved his hand and refused.

Maybe in the 1960s, many people liked this kind of background as a foil, but Zhou Jianguo preferred natural beauty.

"Okay, it's up to you!" The photographer nodded and did not continue to persuade.

"Old lady, don't be nervous, relax your body." The photographer kept saying.

"Grandma, I'm here, just relax," Zhou Jianguo said softly.

The old lady nodded, and then she really relaxed.

The photographer seized this opportunity and said, "Come on, old lady, smile!"

The photographer shouted, and the deaf old lady and Zhou Jianguo smiled.

"Click!" With a sound, the camera clicked

The old lady stood up, with a confused look on her face. She didn't expect that taking a picture was so simple and ended with a click. She thought taking pictures was very troublesome. She had seen other people painting, and it took a long time to draw a portrait.

In the opinion of the old lady, even if it is faster to take pictures, it will still take an hour anyway. But now, the other side just clicked and it was over. The old lady didn't believe it.

"Jianguo, is it so easy to take pictures?" the old lady asked.

There was no way, the old lady had never gone out to take pictures before. She had only heard about cameras, but had never really seen them. Moreover, at that time, everyone had no concept of technology in their minds, and they were more old-fashioned.

Thinking, so after seeing how easy it was to take pictures, the old lady was a little bit blinded.

"Grandma, this is photography, this is the power of technology." Zhou Jianguo explained. He didn't explain it in detail, he just said that this is the power of technology.

Given the old lady's age and knowledge, even if Zhou Jianguo explained the principles of the camera clearly, the old lady would not be able to understand it. It would be better for the old lady to be more direct and say that this is the power of technology, which would make it easier for the old lady to understand.

"Hey, it seems that I'm really behind, old lady!" the old lady sighed. Today's camera really gave her a thumbs up.

"Grandma, if you want, I can buy you a camera then?" Zhou Jianguo said.

It's just a camera, and Zhou Jianguo has it now.

Those 007s who were killed by Zhou Jianguo before had some cameras on them, and they were the most advanced cameras. If not for seeing this photo studio this time, Zhou Jianguo would have really forgotten about them.

"No, grandma is old and can't handle this camera." The old lady refused with a smile.

She knew Jianguo was filial, but at her age, she might as well forget some things.

"Grandma, how old are you? You are still young. When the time comes, grandma, you will still have to help me take care of the children." Zhou Jianguo pulled the old lady and said with a smile.

"Okay, then grandma will wait for that day." The old lady's face almost burst into laughter.
