System: I open an inn in the desert

"Brother Zhang, this is it, look." The assistant wearing glasses turned the laptop screen to a middle-aged man wearing a plaid shirt.

The man's name is Zhang Liang, and he is a traveling photographer.

In recent years, travel weddings have become a popular choice for young people to get married due to their low cost and the ability to avoid useless social interactions with relatives.

The profession of travel photographer has also emerged. Unlike ordinary photo studios or photography studios, travel photography pays more attention to the photographer's own ability.

For those with great skills, almost one person can make a lot of money just by using a camera.

Zhang Liang is such a photographer. In his early years, he contributed articles to some travel magazines. However, with the development of the industry, all the places that can be photographed at home and abroad have been photographed, and part-time photographers have gradually become less popular.

Zhang Liang was used to being undisciplined, but he didn't want to be restricted by a full-time work unit.

I went to the Academy of Fine Arts and hired an assistant with good editing skills to work alone.

Because of the professional photography and high-quality aesthetics, this small team of only two people has also accumulated many loyal customers and is well-known in the circle.

Coupled with the expansion of their business and the addition of travel photography, the business is even better.

But no matter what the circle is, as long as you make money, a large number of people will definitely follow suit.

Last time, they inspected several places in advance according to the customer's request, and finally selected a small town in Yunnan and took a group of photos with the theme of "Waiting for the Wind to Come."

The customer was very satisfied with it and immediately posted it on WeChat Moments.

But it didn’t take long before several photography teams came together to take photos of a similar style. From framing to composition, we couldn’t say they were plagiarized, we could only say they were exactly the same.

In order to remain competitive, the two have to inspect new shooting locations at any time and tailor shooting plans for customers.

This time they received a big order, and the customer was a financial elite in his thirties.

It is said that he worked hard all the way from the countryside and now he has opened his own company. I have a car, a house, and a high income, but my love life is not very prosperous. I didn’t meet my current wife until I was in my thirties.

When the two first got married, the company was at a critical moment of transformation. The bride understood her husband and took the initiative to postpone the wedding to serve as her husband's housekeeper.

Now that the company's business is on track, Qi Zhanpeng wants to compensate his wife.

I remembered that she had been talking about taking a similar photo of Xiao Feng.

He quietly checked on the Internet, and it turned out that he was wearing red clothes and riding a horse in the desert. So after listening to a customer's recommendation, I selected the number one Zhang Liang team and placed an order with them.

Party A has a sufficient budget, so the small team naturally wants to strive for excellence, and future films will also be a sign to attract customers.

But seeing that the filming date was approaching, the two still had not chosen the final filming location.

There are only a few places with good desert scenery in China. In addition, Dunhuang style photography has been very popular recently. Any desert with some reputation is occupied by dense crowds.

When the camera passes by, there is a high probability that what you see is not the desert wind and sand, but the back of someone else's head.

"Brother Zhang, the other party said that he will bring a dozen relatives with him this time. He hopes that we can find a good location to shoot. Money is not an issue."

The assistant put down the phone and continued to point to the screen on the computer and said, "I saw my cousin's new photo from her friend circle two days ago. After confirming it, it came out straight from the phone without even adding a filter."

Zhang Liang looked at the photos on the screen intently. A clear lake under the blue sky, a tall and lush golden Populus euphratica forest in the distance, and a little girl showing an eight-tooth smile to the camera. A selfie with very amateur angles and composition parameters, but it has the effect of a SLR.

This is definitely a bonus from the environment, and it is a natural feeling that cannot be achieved no matter how powerful it is later.

"Brother Zhang, I just asked my cousin that this Populus euphratica forest was privately contracted and planted by a desert inn. There are not many tourists yet. It should be no problem to book a room three days in advance."

Seeing Zhang Liang's expression of excitement, the assistant added: "And I heard that Mr. Qi's parents are relatively frugal. The room rate in this inn is not expensive and they bring their own meals. They should be more satisfied."

While listening to the assistant's report, Zhang Liang looked through the photos on the computer again. He also took the initiative to search the inn's video account and browse through the videos one by one.

The dynamic Populus euphratica forest and the lake became more lively. He noticed the antique inn and Amao running and having fun in the Populus euphratica forest, and inspirations kept emerging in his mind.

"Okay, let's book it here. You can contact Mr. Qi's secretary. The shooting will take place in five days and ask them to book a room in advance. We will meet directly at the inn then."

Zhang Liang used his mobile phone to follow the inn's video account, packed up his things and walked towards his workroom. After thinking about it, he turned around and said, "I will modify the shooting plan now and send the new plan to Ruan Qing later. You go We’ll reserve a room for two days, so let’s check out the location one step ahead.”

"Okay, Brother Zhang."

Ruan Qing is a stylist who fits Zhang Liang's aesthetics very well. For every shooting plan, the other party can always create a suitable and not bad look according to his requirements, which adds a lot of points to Zhang Liang's photos. The teams on both sides have always had a great time working together.

He was very inspired by the new location this time, and I believe it will also be an interesting challenge for the other party. Thinking of this, Zhang Liang walked towards the workroom a lot faster.

Amateur photographer Lin Yu didn't know that a professional photographer was about to come to his place.

He now has two urgent problems at hand——

There are not enough rooms! Not enough food!

After the inn's Populus euphratica forest was opened to customers, it immediately became a must-visit place for travelers because of its superb appearance.

Thanks to the smoothness of the system's black technology network, photos of tourists checking in appeared on major social platforms very quickly, and the sending density was extremely high.

As the summer vacation is coming to an end, children and adults who are about to start school are seizing the time to surf the Internet and enjoy themselves in countless hot topics.

The girl in room 206 of the inn, when she posted the photo online, she mentioned a hot topic.

Unexpectedly, this casual move brought huge business opportunities to Boss Lin.

In just one night, this blog post was reposted thousands of times and had hundreds of comments——

[Miss, where was this taken? Please give me directions! 】

[Sihasha, the young lady is so beautiful, lick her face! 】

[Is this Shuijing Lake? The photos are really good. I just came back from there two days ago. The scenery is not bad, but there are a lot of people. How can the young lady take such clean pictures? Please give me a pair of hands that are good at photoshop~~]

The girl looked through her 99+ comments and happened to see this one, and immediately replied:

[It’s not Shuijing Lake. This was taken in the Populus euphratica forest of an inn. There are not many people here now. If you find a good angle, you can go straight out. There is no P picture~~]

As soon as this comment came out, the number of replies below surged. To sum it up in one sentence——

[Hand over the inn address. Don’t make me kneel down to beg you! 】
