She stared at Chen Xing blankly for several seconds, then nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay!" With this boy's appearance, no matter if he models for any photographer, the photographer will happily agree.
And the photographers with better skills will not take any money from them, or even give him change. Chen Xing smiled and nodded, walked towards the path, and walked past the beam of light coming from the woods with an expression like 'I'm thinking about life'.
He was really thinking about stuff, he was thinking about what to have for dinner. After passing the spot where the female photographer took the photo, Chen Xing came back and asked, "How was it?"
"It's so beautiful!" She found the photo and showed it to Chen Xing. The photo had leaves as the foreground. Chen Xing was photographed passing in front of the stone pavilion. The light just shone on Chen Xing's face, making Chen Xing's skin white. Quite a few.
Really classy and graceful. She has been involved in photography for a long time, and this is the first time she has taken such beautiful photos. No wonder the photographers in the group like to spend money to find high-end models. It turns out that they can really produce good pictures.
She wanted to beg Chen Xing to let her take a few more pictures, even if it meant paying for it. But when he raised his head to say something, he found that Chen Xing was still looking at the photo he took with a serious expression.
"Handsome guy, how many more pictures do you want?" Chen Xing nodded and said, "Okay, just send me the original pictures after you finish shooting." He didn't say anything about money.
It's okay to be a friendly model for others once in a while when you're in a good mood, just charge a fee.
"No problem." The female photographer said happily. Of course it would be better if she didn't have to pay. She hasn't paid for a model yet.
Throughout the afternoon, the female photographer took many photos, but in the end, Chen Xing retained only eight.
The female photographer originally thought that the remaining works selected by Chen Xing were okay, but the more she looked at them after returning home, the more she felt that they were not as good as the eight selected by Chen Xing.
"Really or not, you picked out the best one after just one look?" If Chen Xing had chosen carefully, then she could accept it, but Chen Xing just went through them one by one, and in two minutes After looking at the photos she took all afternoon, she decided to request the original photos of those works.
He must be better than me, the female photographer thought to herself. She quickly color-corrected and retouched these photos to give them the fresh Japanese style she wanted. Then she posted these eight photos plus a photo of herself on Moments and Xiaohongshu.
Female photographers also want to make some pocket money through photography, so they often post their works on social platforms in Chengdu.
Chengdu also has a particularly large number of Internet celebrities. Looking at the city alone, it is estimated that there are fewer than those in established first-tier cities such as Yanjing and Shanghai.
If you can get a little bit of fame, you can live a good life in Chengdu with the camera in your hand. Soon, as she expected, the photos she took became popular in her circle of friends. Many people and best friends wanted to ask who this handsome guy was and whether he had a girlfriend.
But some very powerful photographers she knew asked, "Is this Chen Xing?"
"It's really him!! Did you hire him to be a model? How much did it cost?"
"Can this person also be a model? Beauty, can you help me get in touch? Money is not a problem..." This question made her a little confused.
His name was indeed Chen Xing. They added WeChat messages and left notes between them. But is Chen Xing famous? She quickly checked on the encyclopedia and found out that Chen Xing had won a grand prize at an international photography festival some time ago. There were also gossips on the Internet between Chen Xing and a photographer named Zhang.
And because Chen Xing himself has many fans, they also created an encyclopedia entry specifically for Chen Xing.
The entry also said that Chen Xing won the first prize of Huawei Mobile Photography that just ended. No wonder... the female photographer thought to herself.
As soon as she saw Chen Xing, she felt that Chen Xing must be a very powerful photographer. After all, that kind of temperament is not something ordinary people can possess. Now she can only say that her sixth sense is indeed right.
In any case, Chen Xing arrived in Chengdu, and the news spread from her. At this time, Chen Xing was also paging some photos he had just received.
However, his idea was different from that of the female photographer. He chose to adjust these photos into Hong Kong style.
He especially likes Hong Kong-style retro style and believes that only men who can master this style can be called handsome guys, so when shooting, he also deliberately used the dangling expression of men in Hong Kong-style style.
After a few minutes, several photos were uploaded. The colors are rich, the filter is thick, the contrast is high, the highlights are yellowish, and the story is strong... If he could do it himself, the story might be even stronger. After all, photographing people is one of his most powerful photography styles.
But there is really no way, he can't still be his own model during his own shooting. If you want to capture Chen Xing's style, someone must capture it in front of the camera.
Models can’t just pose. So it basically blocks the way to adjust the camera in advance and then pose.
Chen Xing sent the adjusted photos to Bilibili and Moments, and left a message: "If I went to shoot a movie, how would you rate me?" These photos must not be put on his own photography website. After all, they are all for his own entertainment. It was taken by Shuai Cai. It would be too much to put it on a website and sell the copyright.
"Ten points!!! I give ten points!"
"One hundred percent! Brother Xing, let's go make a movie!"
"I really like this photo of him sitting and wearing sunglasses. He really has the feeling of a pretty boy in the 1980s. Brother Xing can really pull off any style. The British style I saw some time ago is also very handsome!"
"Brother Xing is always awesome! He is handsome with exquisite facial features and does not have the pretentious makeup look of celebrities at all. Seriously, just make your debut and I will be a fan for the rest of my life!"
"I'm also in Chengdu, can we meet by chance?" Huh? Did anyone guess that I was in Chengdu? awesome.
Compared with the original appearance, the Hong Kong style tone has become very powerful, and there are no particularly conspicuous landmark buildings behind Wenshu Monastery. You can guess this. Did you just go to Wenshu Monastery?
After resting in the hotel for a day, Chen Xing took his camera and went to the garden behind Wenshu Monastery on time the next day.
I don’t know why, but there seem to be more and more people holding cameras. Under the red wall at the entrance of the garden, Chen Xing saw the fan who sent him a private message. Chen Xing had seen her photo, so he could recognize her at a glance.
Chen Xing stepped forward and said, "Hello, You Jiangling?"
"Hello, hello, Brother Xing, I finally met a real person." Chen Xing said with a smile: "I am just an ordinary person, no different from everyone else. Your clothes are very beautiful." She was wearing a very beautiful outfit. Hanfu, which consists of a white buttoned dress, a dark blue horse-faced skirt, and a plain patterned robe as the jacket. Matched with an ancient headdress, it looks like a young lady from a certain family has escaped.
No, this kind of temperament should be said to be that of a second lady or a third lady. Anyway, he is the youngest and the most loved one.
"Thank you!" She also brought a pale yellow round fan. When she smiled, she used the round fan to cover her mouth, leaving only a pair of eyes that smiled like crescent moons.
Chen Xing's heart beat a few times and his mouth felt a little dry. He likes this kind of unique beauty.
The two of them walked towards the depths of the garden, and Chen Xing asked, "Why did you think of asking me to take pictures? I've never taken pictures of anyone before."
"I have been following you since you were a member of Chunmanzhai. I like your photography style very much, especially the photos you took of your sister in the Huawei Mobile Photography Competition." Chen Xing said with a smile: "It seems You really like this photo.”
"ah?"
"Because what I hear most recently is that they really like the photo I won in France." You Jiangling said, "I also like this one, but I still like the portrait you took. It's beautiful."
"Then you've come to the right one from me."
"That's right, I believe whatever you take will look good. You...where are you going?"
"I came here yesterday and I know a few places that look good in photography." He knew what style he wanted to shoot today, so he came here yesterday to look for a place.
There is a small pond next to it which is very nice. If you Jiangling is not afraid of the cold, you can take photos of the beauty playing in the water.
The place where I met the female photographer yesterday was also very nice. Gardens, ancient stone pavilions, and Hanfu, this sounds like a perfect match.
In particular, You Jiangling looks good in Hanfu. Although her height of 1.6 meters is a little short compared to a famous model, she is petite and cute, so 1.6 meters is just right. If she is taller, it won't look right in the photo.
Chen Xing was shocked when he arrived at the place where he met the female photographer yesterday. Why are there so many people? Yesterday, this place was very desolate. Today, at least three or four photographers were taking pictures here, and one of them placed his camera in exactly the same position as the one where he took the picture yesterday.
They are all older photographers. Their hair is all white, and their average age is at least fifty.
When Chen Xing arrived at this corner, people quickly spotted him. One of them came up and asked: "I really met you here, hello, Chen Xing."
"You are?"
"We are members of the Chengdu Photographers Association. We saw some of the photos you took yesterday and thought they were very good, so we made an appointment to come and have a look today. But I didn't expect to actually meet you."
"Oh, hello, hello!" Chen Xing said politely. He had contacted the China Photography Association, but Chen Xing didn't like the tone of the person who called him, so he didn't contact him again.
But this Chengdu Photographers Association... I have never heard of it at all.
"Your works are very popular in our association, and you have also won awards abroad. It has been a long time since our Sichuan Province has produced an outstanding photographer like you. How about joining our association?"
"I'll think about it." He didn't even go to the China Photography Association, let alone the Chengdu Photographers Association, which he had never heard of.
And Chen Xing looked at the appearance here, and if he went there, he would probably have to call everyone grandpa and grandma every time he saw him. Several other people also came over slowly.
"You are Chen Xing, right? You are so handsome, even more handsome than you look in the photo."
"Chen Xing, I saw your work yesterday. The composition is very good, but the style is not very good. I think it is an old style that has been used for decades. Few people take pictures of this style now."
"Yes, I suggest you try a wide aperture." Chen Xing broke out in winter sweat and was speechless.
Fortunately, I didn’t agree just now. You Jiangling watched the excitement with great enthusiasm. She never took the fan off her face and kept laughing secretly.
Chen Xing looks so cute and handsome even when he's deflated. But Chen Xing suddenly remembered her, walked to You Jiangling and said to several teachers: "Teachers, I have a mission today, so I will leave now and we will talk next time."
"Okay, you're busy. We often take pictures here, and there are still many opportunities to meet." Chen Xing tugged on You Jiangling's sleeve and quickly came to Chen Xingding's second location.
Shaking his head, Chen Xing said: "It seems that we can't go to the ancient pavilion before. Let's take a few pictures here and then go to another pavilion." The group of teachers was obviously looking for the beam of light from yesterday, and It doesn’t have to be a photo of a pavilion.
Chen Xing's goal is the pavilion. It would be great if he could capture another section of the corridor during the shooting, preferably with a red wall.
Red walls and green tiles are common features of many wealthy families in ancient times. Generally speaking, yellow walls are easily associated with Buddhism.
The two prepared for Chen Xing's first appointment. At Chen Xing's instruction, You Jiangling took a few photos leaning on the camphor tree, and then Chen Xing said, "Is it convenient to sit down here?"
"Okay." The skirt she was wearing also had pants underneath. Although the Chinese New Year has passed, it's still very cold now. It would be too cold if you don't wear more clothes.
But wearing such clothes, it is still very inconvenient to sit down. When he was about to sit on the ground, his body suddenly gave up its strength and fell to the ground.
"Oops!" Chen Xing's eyes lit up, and he quickly took a few pictures, then went up to pull her up, looked at her, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." You Jiangling touched her butt. Fortunately, it wasn't too high off the ground when it fell, otherwise my butt would have suffered.
There was a stone on the edge of the pond. Chen Xing went up to it to test its sturdiness and said, "Come here and take some pictures."
"Okay." After spending thousands of dollars to invite Chen Xing to take photos, You Jiangling must have followed Chen Xing in everything, otherwise the money would have been wasted.
So although she was a little afraid of falling into the water, she climbed up anyway. Trembling, his eyebrows drooped.
Chen Xing said: "Very good. It feels like Lin Daiyu buried flowers. Just hold on and sit on the stone."
"Hiss! It's so cold!"
"Hold on." Chen Xing said, then he took the time to take pictures quickly, and then said,
"Can you spread your legs apart?" You Jiangling looked at Chen Xing in surprise, her face immediately turned red. But this should be the photographer’s aesthetic, right?
Maybe the photo will look better? Hesitantly, she slowly spread her legs. Wearing pants anyway.
"Hey!! Don't spread your knees! I'm talking about your feet!" Chen Xing shouted quickly! When doing period photography, it doesn’t look good anytime a model spreads her knees apart…unless it’s a private shoot.
"Ah!!!" You Jiangling blushed even more, covered her face with her hands, and said, "I'll take the photo later!"
"Okay." Chen Xing put down the camera and looked at her. So cute.
