The authoritative journal of the Chinese Art Photography Society, "Image Times", published the only "nude art" photographic work that caused a stir in the fifth issue in 2002. In August of the same year, the work won the award from the Henan Provincial Department of Culture. "Stars" Excellent Art Award.

In March 2003, the author of this work, young art photographer Cheng Wenjie, was interviewed by the author and told about a little-known and shocking family storm behind this work.

The disaster started in Beijing, and the artistic photos of the human body caused an emotional crisis

Cheng Wenjie, 36, is from Sanmenxia City, Henan Province. He has been passionate about photography since he was a child. In 1991, he quit his job at the Municipal Composite Packaging Factory and opened "Chengzhen Photography Studio".

In February 1998, Cheng Wenjie was not satisfied with the status quo and went to Xi'an for further study. At that time, the Xi'an Municipal Art Museum held the "Nature·Human" body art exhibition. The art works with the rich and desolate Loess Plateau as the background, and the integration of man and nature, not only opened his eyes, but also This gave him a strong desire to photograph the human body.

However, when Cheng Wenjie told his wife Wang Luzi, who worked as an accountant at the city's "Second Printing" factory, what he was thinking, she stared at him as if she were facing an enemy and warned him: "Are you under the influence of evil fire?" If you take nude photos, other people's saliva will drown you." After Cheng Wenjie graduated from Xi'an, he went to Beijing twice to participate in art photography training, one of which was dedicated to learning to take "human body" photos with models. His work was praised by his teachers. As a result, his desire to shoot body art became stronger and he secretly vowed to shoot stunning works and become an impressive photographer.

After returning from Beijing, Cheng Wenjie rode a motorcycle more than ten times and traveled hundreds of miles in the name of taking pictures of the scenery, looking for the "union between man and nature". Hard work paid off, and he finally found several ideal scenic spots in the mountains of , Lushi County, . He tried to find a teacher at Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts and wanted to hire professional models from there. When he heard that models were being paid by the hour after leaving school, he had no choice but to give up.

However, Cheng Wenjie, who wanted to find another way, caused a catastrophe in the summer of 1999. On this day, he went to the street to buy groceries, and he was amazed by the graceful figure of a girl. He quickly thought that it would be wonderful if such a beautiful human body could be integrated into the ideal scenery.

Cheng Wenjie, who was so persistent that he was almost obsessed, couldn't help but follow the girl to admire her. He wanted to find a quiet place to talk to her. After the girl discovered that he was following her, she hurriedly turned into an alley to get rid of him. Cheng Wenjie followed in hot pursuit. The girl suddenly appeared from a corner, blocked him in front of him and asked sternly: "Do you want to act like a gangster?"

Cheng Wenjie quickly explained to her, but the girl didn't listen to what he said, she cursed "boring" and ran away. However, things didn't end there. Although Cheng Wenjie didn't know the girl, the girl knew him and knew that he was the owner of "Chengzhen Cinema". Just when Cheng Wenjie regretted missing this God-given opportunity, the girl's two brothers came to the "Chengzhen Film Studio".

The two brothers always love to cause trouble, and now they have found an excuse. As soon as they entered the door, they asked Cheng Wenjie why he was acting like a gangster to his sister. Seeing that Cheng Wenjie "denied" them, they started smashing the windows in the store, overturning the tables, tearing up the scenery, and even slapped Cheng Wenjie several times... If they hadn't learned that Wang Luzi called the police after hearing the news, but she didn't know what kind of disaster it would cause.

That night, Wang Luzi and Cheng Wenjie, who didn't know the truth, started making trouble again. After Cheng Wenjie repeatedly explained, Wang Luzicai said: "Thankfully you just had an idea. If you really wanted to take pictures of human bodies, it would be weird if they didn't use explosives to blow you up." Under the pressure of his wife, he calmed down the situation with a self-examination. A storm.

In the autumn of 2000, Cheng Wenjie opened a larger "Golden Lily Wedding Photo Studio". During this period, not only was his business booming, but he also continued to publish photographic works. In December, the Chinese Art Photography Society intended to recruit him as a member, but required him to have several latest photographs that could represent his artistic achievements. Cheng Wenjie believes that the human body represents the highest level of art. Therefore, he decided to take the risk.

Soon, Cheng Wenjie learned that a teacher in Xi'an was going to take a set of "human body" teaching photos.Overjoyed, he said goodbye to his wife and went to Xi'an in the name of learning to take "wedding" photos. In the teacher's studio, Cheng Wenjie took a group of "human bodies" of models, developed and enlarged them in Xi'an, and prepared to send them to Beijing.

On February 17, 2001, Wang Luzi was going to Beijing for a business trip. In order to rush for time and save money, Cheng Wenjie decided to give her the set of photos to take to Beijing. Afraid of being discovered by his wife, Cheng Wenjie put several photos into a brown paper bag, sealed it and pasted several layers of newspapers on the outside.

When handing it to his wife, Cheng Wenjie warned: "Luzi, this set of photos is crucial to whether I can join the association. You must hand them over intact to the person in charge of the association communication ."

Although Wang Luzi I felt that my husband was making a fuss, but he still followed his instructions and took extra care all the way to the destination. However, when she handed the paper bag to the head of the Communications Office, she did not expect that the leader would count the photos in front of her. More than a dozen nude photos of young girls were exposed in front of Wang Luzi, and the blood in her body suddenly boiled. He was still doing this shameful thing behind his back, and even asked her to deliver the goods in person.

The humiliated Wang Luzi immediately called Cheng Wenjie on her mobile phone and said, "I was sold by you, and I'm still counting the money for you." She didn't listen to Cheng Wenjie's explanation and hung up the phone.

Idiots talk about family storms again.

Cheng Wenjie was at home waiting anxiously for another family storm to come. However, his wife, who said she would be back in three days after finishing her work, did not come back for a week. Cheng Wenjie was worried that his wife would have an accident and kept calling Wang Luzi on her cell phone, but she would either turn off her phone or not answer the phone!

html On the 127th, Wang Luzi finally answered his call, but her reply surprised him. She told him that she had been back for four days, was staying in the factory office, and asked him to go over and sign the divorce agreement.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Wenjie knew that the matter was more serious than he thought. He rushed to Wang Luzi's office. Wang Luzi interrogated him like a prisoner: "Who did you photograph? What is the relationship between that girl and you?" He truthfully told the whole story, but she still refused to believe it. Cheng Wenjie had no choice but to call the teacher in Xi'an and asked Wang Luzi to ask directly.

Although Wang Luzi got to the bottom of things, she only agreed to go home after Cheng Wenjie wrote a guarantee not to engage in "pornographic photography" again. The stubborn Cheng Wenjie didn't want his wife to take advantage of him, so he turned around and left.

html On May 1st, Cheng Wenjie, who was in a bad mood due to his couple's "separation", received an invitation that made him amazed and jealous. One of his friends from the same industry held a "Body Art Film Exhibition" on the third floor of the city's Xinhua Bookstore. This exhibition was the first in this city, so the relevant departments paid more attention to it and specially invited the leaders in charge of the city government to attend and cut the ribbon.

Cheng Wenjie went to support the event, and when he saw the couple hosting the event, he secretly felt aggrieved for himself. At noon, my friend hosted a banquet for the guests. Cheng Wenjie was drunk. When he came out of the bathroom, he fell to the ground and cut his head. Friends quickly called Wang Luzi.

As soon as she heard that Cheng Wenjie was so drunk, Wang Luzi dropped the phone and hailed a taxi and ran over. She found Cheng Wenjie lying on a sofa, crying incoherently to his friends about his futility and the difficulty of realizing his dream.

Wang Luzi, with the help of Cheng Wenjie's friends, took Cheng Wenjie back home in a taxi. That night, Wang Luzi tidied up the house that had not been tidied up for more than a month, and paid attention to the Sanmenxia TV news report on the photography exhibition. The next day, she went to see the exhibition specifically. In the exhibition hall, she asked in a low voice to several girls beside her who were talking about a photograph of a young girl's body: "Is this also art?"

Several girls looked at her with strange eyes and asked: "Don't you? Do you find it beautiful?" Seeing so many people coming to visit, Wang Luzi seemed to see the artistic appeal of these works, and finally understood the reason for her husband's crazy dream.

If Cheng Wenjie’s drunken words made Wang Luzi uncomfortable, then his “wake-up words” made her cry. After sobering up, Cheng Wenjie said emotionally: "Luzi, have you forgotten how we fell in love? At first, when you heard that I took four consecutive exams to get into college, you said you loved someone like me. An irreversible ambition.But now..." Wang Luzi combed his hair with her fingers and said, "Wenjie, there is a process of understanding people. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

At this time, two things happened one after another that accelerated Wang Luzi's change in thinking. On May 18, the two brothers who had "framed" Cheng Wenjie and smashed up the photo studio were criminally detained by the police on suspicion of blackmail in another case. When the police came to investigate according to the instructions, they cleared Cheng Wenjie. On May 20, Cheng Wenjie saw on TV the "White Swan" series of artistic photos taken by photographers such as Ma Hefu of Sanmenxia City in the reservoir wetland. The exhibition in Beijing aroused strong publicity from all walks of life. After the response was reported, he lamented, "It's over, I can only be a studio 'photographer' for the rest of my life." Wang Luzi asked: Are you sad that I have held you back? Cheng Wenjie said with red eyes: "I can only accept my fate."

Wang Luzi said: Then let's just wait and see. "On June 10, Wang Luzi made a move that surprised Cheng Wenjie. She resolutely quit her beloved accounting job and went to Shanghai to participate in a three-month photography training. After that, she went to Guangzhou to study for three months. artistic makeup.

"Underground" lobbying, husband and wife realize the same dream

After Wang Luzi returned from studying, while carefully managing the photo studio business, she went to Sanmenxia five four-star hotels to watch programs from time to time. Cheng Wenjie muttered to himself, How could such a conservative person contract such a strange disease just after traveling to a big city?

On the evening of January 17, 2002, Wang Luzi lost her job and ran away again. This was her third time at " Dapeng" Watching the show in the "Party Hall". She sat there, drinking tea, and patiently watching every show, every actor, especially the actress. When the show was in the middle, an actress from a dance program attracted her

She learned from the ballroom manager that the actor's name was Li Mei (pseudonym), 21 years old, and graduated from the dance class of the Music Department of West Henan Normal University. As soon as the performance ended, Wang Luzi ran backstage and found the actor Actor. She introduced the other party as the owner of "Golden Lily Wedding Photo Studio" and a dance lover. She said: "I am very envious of your outstanding acting talent and want to make friends with you." If you're willing to show off, I'll treat you to a supper tonight. "

Cheng Wenjie, who suspected that his wife was having an affair, found out after following him for a few days that Wang Luzi seemed to be following the beautiful female dancer to this hotel today and that hotel tomorrow, and sending her flowers every day. The actress was free in her spare time At that time, he came to drink tea and chat with Wang Luzi from time to time. Although he couldn't understand it, it was not easy to understand.

html On the 128th, under Wang Luzi's repeated invitations, Li Mei finally came to the "Golden Lily Wedding Photo Studio" as a guest. Li Mei's Cheng Wenjie secretly admired her figure. He had learned from the past, although he had the luxury of asking Li Mei to take photos of her body, but he did not dare to propose it rashly.

Wang Luzi carefully put on makeup for Li Mei, and asked Cheng Wenjie to take a set of photos for her. . The photos were just right from the angle to the lighting. Li Mei was very satisfied after seeing it. Wang Luzi took it upon herself to enlarge two 40-inch low-light photos for Li Mei. One set cost nearly a thousand yuan. However, she has always been economical. But Wang Luzi insisted not to take a penny from her.

After sending Li Mei away, Cheng Wenjie asked Wang Luzi: "Why are you willing to spend so much money if you are not related to her? You don't have other motives, right?" Wang Luzi smiled and said: "Forget it. you are right. No comment, though. "

html On the morning of the 129th, Cheng Wenjie wanted to drive out to take pictures, but the car was driven away by Wang Luzi. Wang Luzi said that she wanted to pick up Li Mei to take a bath in a "hot spring".

Wang Luzi drove Li Mei to a hot spring 50 miles away to "bath" , in fact, she wanted to examine Li Mei's body. Li Mei's body was as smooth as jade, with not only no scars, not even a black mole black scar, and her measurements and lines looked very well-proportioned and soft, which amazed her. After returning, , Wang Luzi couldn't help but said to Cheng Wenjie: "Li Mei's body is simply extremely beautiful.

Before she could finish her words, Cheng Wenjie threw the tea cup in his hand and shouted: "Wang Luzi, are you being gay?" Wang Luzi was shocked. She couldn't laugh or cry when she heard these insulting words.

Wang Luzi knew that it was not the time to defend herself yet, but she still felt aggrieved and shouted: "Whatever you say, homosexuals are homosexuals, but you have overstated your words. Don't slap yourself in the mouth when the time comes."

html December 13 Late in the evening, my daughter, who was suffering from influenza , had a fever. At around 11 o'clock in the night, Cheng Wenjie, who was extremely anxious, called Wang Luzi's cell phone and urged her to go home quickly. But Wang Luzi said on the other end of the phone: "Give her some antipyretic medicine and let her sleep. Li Mei is sick. I'll accompany her to the hospital for infusion. She can't leave."

Cheng Wenjie couldn't bear it anymore and hung up the phone. He was determined to severely punish this woman who had become too ambitious. When Wang Luzi returned home, she never expected that Cheng Wenjie would lock the door and let her freeze in the cold wind for more than ten minutes before opening the door. Facing the angry Cheng Wenjie, Wang Luzi, who was extremely sad, cried secretly and hugged her daughter to sleep.

Seeing that her husband's misunderstanding of her was getting deeper and deeper, Wang Luzi decided to speed up her work process. On February 19, she invited Li Mei to dinner and said to Li Mei: "Sister, I want to ask you for help with something."

Seeing that Li Mei agreed readily, Wang Luzi said: "Your artistic potential is very good, I think I will take some nude art photos with you as the model. I will give you a generous remuneration. Of course, you can rest assured that the face will be technically processed and will be kept absolutely confidential." Li Mei was very surprised and asked: "You were the one who took the photos. , or was it entrusted by others?"

Wang Luzi told Li Mei frankly: "My skills are not as good as my husband, he is a photographer. He has taken photos for you, you know." Upon hearing this, Li Mei shook her head Like rattle . Wang Luzi held Li Mei's hand tightly and said, "Sister, I know this is making things difficult for you. Not to mention you, a girl who keeps her integrity like a jade, is the mother of my child. If you want me to take off my clothes and stand in front of a strange man, I won't do it." It's hard to do."

Later, in front of the curious Li Mei, Wang Luzi told Cheng Wenjie's dream and the story of her and her husband's "nude photos"... Li Mei was very moved after hearing this.

The next day, Wang Luzi held her cell phone for almost the entire day, but did not receive a call from Li Mei. On the third day, Wang Luzi waited eagerly for Li Mei's call again. Cheng Wenjie saw that she didn't go out for two days in a row and was as restless as a trapped animal. He sarcastically said: "Lost in love? Don't be fashionable, just live peacefully." Wang Luzi thought about all the efforts she had made for him, and he stood there. There were sarcastic remarks on the side, and tears of grievance poured out. But she didn't want to tell him that she didn't succeed, so she had to endure it.

html On the morning of the 122nd, Li Mei finally called and agreed to be a model. Wang Luzi jumped up with joy and cried with joy. When she told Cheng Wenjie the news, Cheng Wenjie was stunned. After understanding what was going on, Cheng Wenjie was stunned and said in disbelief: "Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? Damn it!"

Excited Cheng Wenjie suddenly picked up Wang Luzi and shouted "Wang Luzi" "You are the best wife in the world, the greatest goddess in my heart", while spinning in circles...

html On the afternoon of the 123rd, Li Mei arrived as promised. Wang Luzi put on makeup for her carefully and then sent her to the photography studio on the second floor. Cheng Wenjie gratefully watched her exit the door. Cheng Wenjie, with the cooperation of Li Mei, carefully realized his dream of photographing body art from different angles, different postures, and different lighting.

After the photos were developed, Cheng Wenjie and his wife specially invited Li Mei to work with her to select the most satisfactory one, enlarge it and perform artistic processing, and send it to Beijing personally by Wang Luzi. The photo was published in the 5th issue of Image Times magazine in 2002. In August, this work by Cheng Wenjie won the "Stars" Outstanding Art Award from the Henan Provincial Department of Culture.
