Li Yu followed the advice and immediately set off for Liulichang after leaving the university hall.
Beijing Fengtai Photo Studio is the first photo studio in Beijing opened by a Chinese. The owner is Ren Qingtai. This photo studio opened in 1892, which has been more than ten years ago.
Today's photography is far from being as simple as it was in later generations. You can just take a photo with your mobile phone. Today's photography is a technical job, and it is a technical job that is not easily accessible to ordinary people.
Ren Qingtai himself is a photography master. In order to learn photography, he went to Japan to study. It was also inspired by Japan that he guessed that the domestic photography market would slowly emerge, so he opened Fengtai Photo Studio in Liulichang, Beijing.
.
After ten years of development, Fengtai Photo Studio has become quite large, with more than ten technicians and apprentices, and it also sells photographic equipment.
Fengtai Photo Studio is good at taking big scenes, such as group photos or costume photos.
In the words of later generations, he is good at taking all kinds of artistic photos and photos.
Moreover, Fengtai Photo Studio has excellent photography skills and well-organized photos, making it very popular.
Prince Qing Yikuang once took photos here, and then took the photos into the palace to show Cixi. Cixi also summoned Ren Qingtai into the palace to take photos of her, and even rewarded her with a fourth-grade crown.
They really love education.

Lu Bicheng said: "So, I just took it away?"
After Li Yu's "Game Theory" was sent to Shanghai, Zhang Yuanji attached great importance to it and immediately prepared to start typesetting and printing. He couldn't understand it anyway, but it saved time for peer review.
"To take pictures of the emperor's master, I have to mount the horse myself," Ren Qingtai said, and then directed another person next to him, "Zhong Lun, you can also help."
Ren Qingtai smiled and said: "What's the price? It's our honor to take pictures of the emperor. We don't need to pay."
When he said this, Li Yu stopped insisting.
Li Yu took a few more sets to find Zhang Baixi, the minister of management and education.
Of course, after that, Cixi found another royal photographer, Yu Deling, Yu Rongling's brother Yu Xunling. After all, she loved taking pictures so much, it was troublesome to always ask Ren Qingtai to come over, so it was better to have a dedicated photographer by her side.
Teacher's convenience.
Although this set of books is obviously intended for primary and secondary schools, it can really be used by universities in Beijing.
But he must have known that movies would attract people, and at this time, it seemed that photography should be an extension of photography.
"It would be best if you have seen her before," Li Yu said, "I also brought the clothes."
"It's better to pay." Li Yu said, he didn't want to owe a favor for no reason.
As a result, Fengtai Photo Studio became even more famous and well-known throughout the capital.
It seems that Ren Qingtai has heard of Li Yu's name.
The first Chinese film "Dingjun Mountain" in history was shot by Fengtai Photo Studio.
"Oh, these," Li Yu said, "are introductory books on various science subjects that I compiled."
Li Yu said: "You can use a gramophone to play the sound on the side."
Especially in the Shixueguan, after basically studying the content in the book, I probably won’t delve into it any more.
Ren Qingtai said: "That makes sense. Maybe the Queen Mother will also like it."
Ren Qingtai said: "So you have to hone your skills and don't let your hands shake when the time comes."
"Li Yu." He originally wanted to say that this was not a costume, but after thinking about it, he decided not to explain further.
"Hey!" Ren Qingtai said, "Master Emperor, you don't have to be polite to me. I took a photo for you. It will also be good for our photo studio if you tell me. Naturally, more customers will come to visit, so we won't suffer."
Li Yu smiled and said: "Then take a photo. People will like it very much and it should be more helpful to your business."
Li Yu said: "The royalties for the second edition of "Star Wars" in the United States and Europe have not been paid yet, and I will still pay you when the time comes."
The two liked it very much after receiving it, and Zhang Boling personally wrote a reply:
"After seeing his introductory textbook, I can see that he not only has high-level scientific discussions, but also down-to-earth educational writings. I deeply admire him! In order to cooperate with him in promoting education in the future, I plan to go to Japan with Brother Yan to further inspect teaching.
After returning to China, we will participate in the grand event together."
Ren Qingtai thought about it for a while: "I don't know how difficult it is."
Li Yu said: "When the video and sound are recorded together, the audio and video can be synchronized, so that the viewing experience will not be too bad."
Li Yu almost fainted.
The apprentice looked at it and said, "What about the costumes? Then we need the curator or the master chef. Could you please give me your surname?"
Zhang Baixi said: "You are indeed a rare talent. What a pity!"
Liu Zhonglun is the adopted son of Ren Qingtai.
Li Yu smiled and said: "I will always be a student of the Capital University."
Li Yu wondered: "What's so messy?"
Li Yu smiled and said: "Is it worth talking about money with you? Just take it away."
"Can you show it to me too?" Lu Bicheng asked.
Rubber is not cheap these days.
Fortunately, a large number of them were sent, so Li Yu then picked out two sets and sent them to Zhang Boling and Yan Fansun in Tianjin.
Li Yu said: "Of course the people will like it more."
Li Yu said: "I'll take my leave first. Don't forget to call me when filming."
Ren Qingtai said: "Just go ahead and do it. I will contact a few famous actors in the theater in the near future."
Li Yu said: "Yes, I also want to find someone to help, but I can't find one."
Li Yu said: "Bachelor's uniforms are used in the capital's university halls."
Zhang Baixi also felt grateful: "Before leaving school, you still wanted to do something for our school, which makes me very happy."
Ren Qingtai cupped his hands and said: "Of course we need the help of the Imperial Master!"
"She is indeed a talented woman from Lu Da. She is really fast." Li Yu said with a smile.
But Li Yu said: "They have been printed and do not need to be polished."
Ren Qingtai said: "Where does the Emperor live? The photos will be sent to you after they are developed."
"The emperor's master speaks very well!" Ren Qingtai praised.
"Ah, that's right!" Li Yucai reacted, "Of course."
The apprentice said: "It just so happens that the curator and master are here today. What photos do you want to take?"
Fengling said quietly: "Sir, I wrongly blamed you. I thought you were going to study in Bada Hutong. It seems that it is not necessary at all."
"Is the emperor's master here?" Ren Qingtai said, "Oh, you are here. You may be welcomed from a distance, but you may not be welcomed from afar!"
"I understand, please wait a moment, sir."
Li Yu smiled and said, "The shopkeeper is too polite."
Li Yu remembered an advertisement slogan he heard when he was a child and said: "I understand, after all, without sound, no matter how good the show is, it will not work."
After a while, the two walked out of the house.
"Master, please sit down quickly!" Ren Qingtai called on his apprentice to bring tea to Li Yu.
But Zhang Baixi said: "Your road will still be very long."
Film was so expensive, so he was really afraid of making a mistake.
She saw the textbook in Li Yu's hand again and asked, "What are these?"
Ren Qingtai said: "Then I will wash two more for you."
Li Yu said: "I just took a photo, no need to be so polite."
Ren Qingtai asked: "What does the emperor want to film?"
Li Yu said: "Just take it away."
Li Yu said: "No, I'll just come and get it myself. It's such a small thing to go through a lot of trouble."
An apprentice came over and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to take a photo?"
Li Yu pointed to the photos of famous actors in the theater and said, "Do you want to make a movie?"
They have been taking photos for more than ten years and are very familiar with the process. It didn't take long for them to complete the photo shoot.
Li Yu said: "They are all what I should do. When I compiled this set of introductory textbooks, or handouts, I followed a complete Western-style teaching thinking, so I think it has certain reference significance. I will continue to follow up on them in the future.
Replenish."
Ren Qingtai thought for a while and said, "I remember seeing it in Japan."
Although he had taken photos at the British Embassy before, he had never been to a photo studio from a hundred years ago, so he didn't know what the details were.
Fengling blinked: "They came to the door in person."
"I will start this matter immediately," Ren Qingtai said.
Lu Bicheng pursed her lips lightly, and then said: "I'm not at this level. Why, I can't even learn Western learning if I want to?"
In addition, knowing that Li Yu returned to Beijing, he also packed a box of the compiled and printed lecture notes on various subjects and sent them to Li Yu.
Ren Qingtai said: "Then let's shoot! It's just that when the time comes, I'll need more guidance from the emperor about the gramophone."
Lu Bicheng said: "How can it be done?"
He even thought of Tan Xinpei: "To say that the most popular one right now is Team Leader Tan."
"As for the textbook, I have to study hard," Lu Bicheng said. "How much money do I get for a set?"
Lu Bicheng took the book and flipped through it, "You wrote all this content yourself?"
After Lu Bicheng saw Li Yu, he said to him: "I have polished your two manuscripts. You can take a look."
Li Yu replied: "That's right."
Lu Bicheng said: "I don't want to delay your business."
After Li Yu arrived at the photo studio, he found that there were many photos of famous opera singers and dignitaries hanging on the door.
Liu Zhonglun was the cinematographer for the subsequent movie "Dingjun Mountain". He said: "If we make a drama movie, maybe the dignitaries will like it, but the opera will lose its sound without the sound."
The arduous task suddenly fell on his shoulders, and Liu Zhonglun was not ready yet: "I'm afraid it will be wasted..."
Li Yu said goodbye to Zhang Baixi and returned to his residence in Dongchang Hutong. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Bicheng coming.
Lu Bicheng asked: "I should be able to read it, right?"
Li Yu took out his clothes and said, "Bachelor's uniform."
Liu Zhonglun said with some concern: "Father, I'm afraid the film will be used a lot."
Zhang Baixi had long heard that Li Yu compiled mathematics and physics lecture notes when he was in Beiyang. Unexpectedly, he now even had chemistry and biology, and he had a complete set of basic science textbooks in one fell swoop.
Li Yu asked: "Price?"
"I started from the very basics. I can almost understand it, but there will inevitably be some questions, because this is a textbook, mainly for teachers to use in classes." Li Yu explained.
Ren Qingtai hasn't thought of what "synchronizing audio and video" is, but he feels it is a very good idea, and maybe it will really be liked by Cixi.
Ren Qingtai said: "Movies? I once saw this kind of shadow puppet effect at the Qianmen Fu Shoutang Restaurant, and I am also studying it."
Ren Qingtai asked Liu Zhonglun next to him: "What do you think?"
"Okay, I'm leaving." Lu Bicheng picked up a few books and went out.
After she left, Fengling ran over and asked, "Why didn't you stay?"
Li Yu said: "It's not dinner time yet."
Fengling was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Sir! What do you want me to say?"
