Chapter 435 Listening to the Dragon's Breath
During dinner, Siyu said, "They exported the photos and copied them to me. I'll send them to you later."
Mr. Dong said, "Someone asked me out yesterday. Will he come today?"
Siyu said, "I will come. She just called to ask. I replied her."
I said, "Master, I'm going to take a leave tonight. Old Tan and his gang want to get together with me."
Mr. Dong said, "It's only natural for us to get together. It's rare to meet someone so dedicated and skilled. I'm very satisfied with the photos he took. Please thank him for me."
I said to Siyu, "By the way, Old Tan wants to use the reception room upstairs."
She said, "Immediately arrange for someone to clean up and prepare tea."
After dinner, I went to the physical therapy room to check on the patients and had a chat with Dr. Fu.
I said, "Director, confidence is more important than anything else. You have to trust me. In a month, I will use acupressure to treat you. I guarantee that by the second month, you'll be able to slowly move your legs in bed."
Dean Fu said, "I have always regretted what I said last time."
I burst out laughing. "A foreigner daring to cheat a local, isn't that outrageous?"
"My nephew said that your knowledge goes far beyond healing. He also said that there are people with the same name."
I said, "He needs to be more courageous. I said it was Ximen Siping, and he said it was right, but it was actually Ximen Siquan. This proves that he lacks courage."
Fu Siping's face turned red.
At this time, Siyu's cell phone rang. After she answered it, she said, "The conference room has been cleaned."
I criticized Siping: "Tell the truth next time. I was testing you to see if you would verify what I said."
He said, "I'm sorry, I will correct it next time."
He said to Siping, "According to the Ziwu Liuzhu method, you insert the needle at the first quarter of the Xu hour, others remove the needle half an hour later, and your uncle removes the needle after forty minutes.
I walked out of the therapy room and Siyu asked, "Are you going to tell fortunes for Lao Tan and the others?"
"chat."
"Can I sit in on the class?"
"Who will take care of Master?"
She shook her head: "That person wanted to talk alone. So she left when she saw someone last night."
I nodded. Siyu took me upstairs and into the living room, where they were talking animatedly.
They all stood up when they saw us. The waiter came in and poured each of us a cup of tea.
Old Tan said, "I won't introduce Teacher Wan and the boss lady. Please give them a round of applause."
Then he introduced us to the members of the photography team: Big Beard, Brother with the Long Spear, Catching Shadows, Looking Back and Smiling, and Misty Jiangnan.
I said, "Everyone, please sit down. I think I need to pick a username too."
Tan Shaojie said: "I see the world through a lens of lust. They all call me Brother Lust."
I said, "How can you take photos if you don't enjoy colorful things? Without poetic feelings and artistic conception, you can't capture the soul of beauty."
Aside from Tan Shaojie, everyone else was shocked. How could a fortune teller casually say such things? They all looked at me curiously and smiled.
The bearded man said, "Brother Tan told us about your fortune-telling last night. I was completely blown away. I wonder if the master's fee is expensive. Otherwise, all five of us would like to have our fortune told."
The others looked at me.
I said, "I shouldn't tell fortunes in public. There are some things I shouldn't say. If I don't, you'll think I'm incompetent. If I tell you everything, it includes my personal privacy."
The bearded man said, "We can count them one by one."
"How about this. Add me on WeChat. Send me your birth date and time. I'll calculate it for you when I have time and send it back to you. It's more private this way."
Everyone agreed and scanned my WeChat one by one.
At this time, Tan Shaojie said, "Master, I heard from the boss lady that you can tell fortunes. None of us have ever done it. Could you please tell me one?"
I asked Siyu: "When did you advertise for me?"
She smiled and said, "It was when we were copying the photos. We talked about you by the way."
I thought about it and said, "One word. Just one word."
Everyone rushed to take the test. Tan Shaojie said, "Let's do it the same old way. I won't participate, you guys do it." Then he made five paper balls and threw them into the air.
As a result, the bearded man picked up the character "测", while everyone else's were blank.
I explained the rules of fortune-telling, and the bearded man nodded, indicating that he understood. He wrote the character "庭" (courtyard) on a piece of paper and said, "Let's try fortune-telling about marriage."
"Can I speak in public?"
"Yes, we are all familiar with each other."
I took a sip of tea and said, "You are marrying into the family."
As soon as the words fell, you looked at him, he looked at you, and the six of them remained silent. Siyu became even more confused, looking at this, looking at that, and then staring at me.
The bearded man said, "This is..."
I smiled and said, "You can tell from the word '庭'. '庭' means hall. 'Hall' has steps, so it's called '登堂入室'. 'You're predicting your marriage, and if you get '登堂入室', then of course you're marrying into the family."
The bearded man got anxious and started stuttering: "This...this...this...this...how did we get in touch?"
Old Tan scolded him, "Isn't this easy to understand? When you climb up someone's steps to hold a wedding, it's called entering the hall. When the wedding is over, entering the bridal chamber is called entering the room."
If your wife were to marry you, she would be entering the house. Now you are asking about the word 'courtyard'."
The bearded man retorted: "I understand... I understand. It's just... it's..."
Bufengzhuoying said, "Don't get excited. Everyone understands what you mean. How did you determine that? Will the master tell you? This is his secret."
The bearded man wanted to say something, but Tan Shaojie said, "With your understanding, you can only take pictures. You haven't even started photography yet."
Everyone laughed.
The bearded man had a good personality. Even when people teased him, he didn't get angry. He said to me, "Master, he's right. I own a photo studio, and this is my first time doing photography with Master Tan."
I said, "I understand. Photography and filming are related, but also different."
The bearded man said, "I'm making money, and they're just trying to win the big prize."
I said, "Winning a big award isn't easy. To win a big award for photography, you have to have a good title."
Tan Shaojie looked at me and said, "Mr. Wan, are you also interested in photography?"
I shook my head. "I like reading, not photography. But when it comes to awards, I think many people have a misunderstanding, thinking that as long as the photo is good, it will win. In fact, the title is crucial."
The woman named Hui Mo Yi Xiao hurriedly said, "Teacher Wan, can you tell me? I just can't think of a good title."
Tan Shaojie was skeptical: "Teacher Wan, do you also research this?"
I said, "All art is interconnected. Many people wouldn't like Huang Yongyu's painting of a snake. What's the point of painting a snake? His title is well chosen. It instantly elevates the painting to a higher level."
He turned around and smiled and asked, "What's the title?"
I said, "Although I am ugly, my mother likes me."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they immediately burst into applause, praising the achievement.
I said, "Let me give you an example. A foreign royal family member came to visit China. She was a woman. The relevant departments accompanied her to visit the Forbidden City. A reporter was along to take pictures.
The reporter developed the photos, handed them over to the relevant department as required, and finally gave them to the royal family member. But he pulled out one of the photos and was about to tear it up.
"Why do you want to tear it off?" he asked with a smile.
"This one didn't go well. The royal family member tilted her head, leaning against a pillar carved with a giant dragon. The reporter took several shots, but this one happened to show her with her eyes closed."
Everyone said, "Oh, they've made me blind."
I continued, "A female reporter next to me said you can't tear it up because this is a photo that could win a big prize."
"Huh?" everyone shouted in unison.
I said, "This photo actually won a big award later because the female reporter helped him add a caption."
"What title?" they asked almost in unison.
I said, "Listen to the dragon's breathing."
Everyone was stunned, and then burst into thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.
After rounds of applause, Tan Shaojie said, "Let's welcome Teacher Wan to give us a class, okay?"
The scene became lively, and they raised their fists: "Okay, OK, strongly requested."
I said, "What are we talking about?"
Tan Shaojie said, "You can talk about anything you want."
I thought about it and said, "It's a rare opportunity to have such a good exchange, so I'll talk about something related to photography, but not too unrelated."
There was silence all around.
I said, “Building a personal IP is the way to stretch in the 21st century.”
There was no applause, they all looked at me. So, I started to speak——
