Chapter 98: Watching the cooking, the amazed crowd! [Begging for subscriptions, 4]

A bunch of people crowded around a tiny monitor, but they were watching with great relish.

"Look at this technique, this knife work."

"He's a veteran master!"

When they saw Wang Qifa concentrating on cutting the matsutake, Huang Lei's eyes lit up, and he couldn't stop praising.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the technique.

Others could only see that Wang Qifa cut easily and naturally, but he could see much more.

For example, the force, angle, and rhythm of the cuts, etc.

He's a master!

"Hahaha, Huang Lei, you should just quit your job and become a chef."

"I feel like being an actor is a waste of your talent."

Zhang Yimou joked.

"I've been thinking about it."

"In a few years, I'll go out and open a restaurant to cook properly."

Huang Lei shrugged; it hit the nail on the head.

"You, you, have you arranged dinner for tonight?"

"I've known you for so many years, and I've never mooched a meal off you; it's a pity."

Chen Dao teased.

"Sure, but you have to do the farm work."

Huang Lei laughed.

This is the old tradition of *Back to Field*.

You have to work before you can eat.

"Forget it then."

Hearing about work, Chen Dao instantly lost interest.

"Hahaha, you're scared just from a joke."

"Back when we first met, you were quite diligent."

Huang Lei laughed until he bent over.

On the side, Zhang Zifeng and Peng Peng couldn't join in the conversation of the older generation.

They could only watch the video earnestly.

"Speaking of which, Little Brother Qin is truly amazing; the camera sense and image quality are really remarkable!"

Peng Peng was full of admiration.

He also had a few wealthy friends who were into photography, and they were supposedly very professional.

They had dozens of thousands of dollars in cameras, tens of thousands in lenses, and spent a lot of money on training.

The whole process was just burning money.

And the result?

The things they shot, he used to think were okay.

Now, with Little Brother Qin as a comparison, those were complete trash!

He really wanted to drag those friends over to see this and give them a good scolding.

What is photography?

This is photography!

"That's for sure!"

"After all, he's my idol."

Zhang Zifeng said proudly: "You can go watch *Running Man*, and the sisters' vlogs, especially Li Qin's cover photos—each one is better than the last! Masterpieces!"

She looked just like someone recommending good stuff to her friends!

"I don't know much about photography, as long as it looks comfortable."

"But Little Brother Qin's looks are truly handsome, comparable to Peng Yuyan and Wu Yanzu."

"No wonder so many people on the internet were begging for a front-facing photo. I think if Little Brother Qin's photos were leaked, who knows how many fans he would gain."

Speaking of this, Peng Peng looked at Zhang Zifeng and chuckled: "Honestly, did you become a fan because of Little Brother Qin's handsomeness? Also, were you among those fans begging for photos?"

"Brother, are you stupid!"

"Before today, had I ever met Little Brother Qin?"

"I was conquered by his talent!"

Zhang Zifeng said helplessly, sighing in her heart.

*Sigh.*

Why did I end up with such a brother?

If only Little Brother Qin were my brother!

"Oh, I guess that's true."

Peng Peng laughed foolishly.

Everyone chatted while watching, talking about cooking one moment and Little Brother Qin the next.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Huang Lei exclaimed.

Everyone looked over in unison.

"Haven't you guys noticed a problem?"

"We've been watching for so long, and the camera hasn't shaken at all. Also, when the scene switches, there's no flaw at all; it's extremely smooth!"

Hearing him say this, everyone nodded repeatedly, marveling.

That's right!

They had been watching for so long, and they hadn't felt any awkwardness!

It was like watching a movie!

Their entire attention was on the content of the video; they hadn't noticed any changes in the camera at all.

For example, when Wang Qifa was cutting vegetables and went to get a bowl, the camera shifted over and focused on the bowl.

It seemed as if everything was natural, as if it should have been that way!

You have to know, this was real-time filming, not post-production editing like in a movie.

There were absolutely no wasted shots!

"I'm really considering replacing the photography team for my next movie!"

Zhang Yimou said very seriously.

Just as Huang Lei said, Qin Mu was perfectly connecting the entire shot.

After obtaining 'Food Photography Expertise', he not only had great control over various angles and timing when shooting food, but his mind was also filled with a great deal of experience regarding food.

After all, to shoot something, you must understand it thoroughly to achieve the most perfect effect.

At this moment, Qin Mu was doing exactly that.

Because he had the experience, he knew what Wang Qifa was doing in this step, what he would do in the next, and what he should do after that.

The camera switches were all in rhythm, very smooth.

Even if there were slight flaws, he smoothed them over with photography techniques.

Not only that.

While Qin Mu was constantly moving and changing angles during the shoot,

the noise he made was very slight, as if it didn't exist at all; and the camera lens tried its best not to appear in Wang Qifa's direct line of sight, greatly reducing the impact of the filming on the chef.

This is extremely difficult for other photographers to accomplish.

You have to know, walking slowly while reducing footsteps is very unfriendly to camera control; a slight lack of attention would cause a shake or a missed rhythm.

Additionally, to capture the core points of the content, it's hard for a photographer not to let the lens affect the chef, since the chef is standing there and the cutting board is in front of him.

You're shooting those things, so when focusing or zooming out, it's inevitable to get close or pull back, which definitely has an impact.

But Qin Mu's 'Super Stable Photography' and 'God-level Automatic Capture' eliminated these mistakes!

Soon, Wang Qifa finished the side dishes.

When he looked up, he gave Qin Mu a grateful look.

He was in a great state now; his previous worries were completely gone!

Qin Mu nodded without saying anything.

"Please turn up the fire."

Immediately after, Wang Qifa walked to the stove and said to the staff.

The latter quickly increased the wind, and a large fire rose in the wood stove.

The main event was coming!
