This is a bit of a pity. Chen Xing quite likes documentaries. He feels that this type of film is more meaningful to shoot than movies or TV series.
Moreover, the travel videos he recorded before can also be regarded as documentaries. The video posted on Beep is still not visible, but after Chen Xing re-edited and dubbed it, the video posted on YouTube is almost the same as a documentary, which is why it attracted nearly half a million fans in such a short period of time. .
The train station has arrived. Chen Xing carried a bunch of luggage. He had not settled in Paris yet, and he had to go to Arles with Professor Nobel.
Fortunately, he didn't bring anything back from Africa. Before Chen Xing left, he went to visit the market in Tanzania for an afternoon. He felt that the things there were meaningless, so he just bought a souvenir made of rope.
He didn't tell Hedwig in advance that he was coming back. So it's okay. Professor Nobel was probably disturbed by what Chen Xing had just asked. He didn't say anything for the first half of the ride after getting in the car, and the two of them just leaned on their chairs to rest.
But Nobel has always been a big-hearted person, an old photographer who has not experienced anything in decades.
Photographers are not necessarily travelers, but they must have been to many places and experienced many things. In this industry, Shilipo Sword God has no basis for existence.
So after being broken by his lover, Professor Nobel returned to normal after a while, woke up Chen Xing who was sleeping sitting across from him, and asked: "How much do you know about the Arles Photography Festival?"
"I knew this was the best photography festival in the world." The corner of Nobel's mouth curled up, but he still reminded Chen Xing: "Don't say that outside. Paris Photography Month and New York Photography Festival are also very good. Each has its own The scope of influence can only be said to be unique."
"I remember."
"After this time I will introduce you to some of my friends, but you also have to get to know today's young photographers. Today's young photographers are very powerful. Many have appeared in the past few years. I don’t understand the style. You have to be especially careful about the island photographer named Yamazaki. Many people in the organizing committee prefer his work.”
"Thank you, teacher." Photographers under the age of thirty are called young photographers. Many of them have never seriously studied photography, and they can make a living just by relying on their talent.
If Chen Xing hadn't obtained the skills given by the system and explored it on his own, he would probably have been one of these people.
Professor Nobel really didn't say anything to Chen Xing. He made it clear during the interview that he liked Chen Xing's work. Originally, he went directly to the fourth grade for internship, so that the school could directly hire a mature photographer for free.
But he felt that even if Chen Xing had a good foundation in photography, what if he was missing something else? So Chen Xing was transferred to the third grade class and went to school for a few more months.
What Professor Nobel regrets now is that Chen Xing should not have been exposed to commercial photography. How much money can this thing make?
However, a lot of precious time was wasted on shooting uncopyrighted works for others. This is a huge waste of talent.
…………The small city of Arles has seen a surge in tourists during this period. Forty photography exhibitions, large and small, are spread across all scenic spots in Arles. Visitors here only need to see some of the photography exhibitions set up in the scenic spots on their way to the scenic spots in Arles.
In order to see as many works as possible during the travel time, tourists seem to be in a hurry.
Tourists running around can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. It was in this environment that Chen Xing and the professor came to Arles.
They stayed at the house of a friend of the professor. If not, it would be impossible to book a room in Arles now, unless someone didn't want to come over and checked out temporarily, but then someone who had been watching would snatch it up instantly.
The professor’s friend is an old man who is almost eighty years old and lives alone. He is not a photographer, but as a resident of Arles, he has a lot of photography collected at home.
His house is quite big, with three empty bedrooms besides the room he lives in. Professor Nobel has been running around today and is a little tired. He wants to rest here for a day.
But Chen Xing’s endurance and physical strength are far beyond ordinary people. After putting down his luggage, he went out with his camera. He wore a light blue sun hat, a striped shirt and a thin m51 windbreaker, which made him look handsome. people.
Compared to Paris, the weather in Arles is hot and dry, and the sun's ultraviolet rays are very strong. Therefore, if you don’t want to wear sunscreen and get tanned, you can’t expose just one arm. Otherwise, when you go back to the hotel after a day of shopping, you will find a huge color difference on your arms and chest.
Moreover, Europeans and Americans generally do not hold umbrellas in the sun. If there are people holding parasols on the road, you can tell without looking that they are mostly tourists from China, Japan and South Korea. Those with strange faces are tourists from other European and American countries... As for the locals in Arles?
They have long been accustomed to such scenes. Even some people who don't want to tan have learned to hold an umbrella in the sun.
Chen Xing followed the navigation and headed straight for Arènes d'arles. This French word means Arles Arena, which is the Arles version that Chen Xing has heard many times, the ancient Roman Colosseum.
Photographers participating in the exhibition had another way to enter, but Chen Xing still queued in from where tourists enter.
The appearance of this Colosseum is really beautiful. The outer wall alone is twenty meters high. There are no overly complicated carving patterns on the wall, but it does not diminish the simple style here at all, and the charm that has been washed away by time. .
I heard that when viewed from a height, the length and width of this arena are hundreds of meters away. One hundred meters doesn't seem that big?
This just sounds like it. In fact, when measured with feet, one hundred meters is definitely not a small distance. Moreover, this building is not flat. It is twenty meters high and can easily accommodate 10,000 or 20,000 people.
After entering, Chen Xing saw arches everywhere, large and small, about eighty in number.
He first took a lot of photos of this building, and then officially visited the works inside.
This venue is one of the main venues for this photography exhibition. The selected ones are the best among young photographers, and then the organizing committee will select the best works and put the ones they like here. Exhibitions in all venues.
Professor Nobel likes to call this place the Exhibition of New Photographers, but in fact it should be called the Emerging Photographers Exhibition. If you are a newbie, the scope will be much wider than that of a newcomer, and the competition among everyone will be more intense.
The photography festival has just been held in July and is about to end in September. Now the whole month of August is the month with the most tourists visiting the photography festival. The tourists coming and going around all speak different languages.
The sentence on the left is Savadika, and the sentence on the right is Aniha cyo. If someone who knows seven or eight languages but is not proficient comes here, won't the CPU be wiped out?
Chen Xing can speak three languages now, but that’s okay. He doesn't have to think about how to convert what others say into the meaning of his mother tongue. The other two languages are as familiar to him as his mother tongue, and his brain can understand the meaning without translation.
There is an Asian section in this photography exhibition. I don’t know if Huaxia also has a signboard now. Its Asian signboard is written in three languages: English, French and Chinese.
Chen Xing stared at the sign as soon as he came over. God tm Asia. I'm still in the domestic area. Almost every tourist passes by this road, but most of the tourists who stay to visit are tourists from Asia. The work from the island country is placed in the first painting, which is very conspicuous, and many people stand and point at the work.
This is a scene in the forest. At least Chen Xing thinks so. He also looked at him for a long time, so long that an island girl next to him thought that Chen Xing was also from the island, and she enthusiastically approached him to chat with him in Japanese.
Her appearance and tone are both cute. Japanese seems magical to Chen Xing. The same sentence, just because men and women use different modal particles, feels completely different when spoken, like watching a love anime.
Chen Xing didn't understand what she was talking about, but after looking at it, he thought it looked pretty good, so after watching black people for a month, his heart became a little restless... If I get it, I'll be considered a glory to the country, right?
Chen Xing thought so. He quickly shook his head and said in English: "I'm sorry, I can't understand Japanese. Do you speak English?" Then the woman showed a troubled expression: "A little bit." It turns out that she is not Chinese.
Fukuhara Hinako felt it was a pity because she came to France with her companions. Her best friend is very good and speaks a little bit of English and French, but she is just an average college student and can handle the exams in China just fine, but it is difficult to communicate with people who really know English.
Chen Xing asked: "What do you think of this set of works by Mr. Yamazaki?" Finally, a person from an island country chatted with him. Of course, Chen Xing wanted to ask what people in their own country thought of this work.
Forgive Chen Xing for his ignorance. He really can't see how beautiful this work is compared to his own works.
"I don't know much about this. This is a forest in Kyoto City. There are many cherry blossoms, peach trees and so on. Every year these two kinds of flowers will bloom one after another, making the hillside full of charming floral fragrance for a long time... I When I saw this work, I seemed to smell the fragrance, so I can't comment." Her English was very limited, and Chen Xing had to guess a lot of words.
But at least I understand. Chen Xing looked at him and saw that there seemed to be no other companions around her, so he suddenly took her arm and took two steps to the side, and asked with a normal expression: "Then what do you think of this set of works? "Hinako Fukuhara was startled, and her heartbeat instantly surged to 180.
But I soon discovered that I didn't feel panic or fear, I just felt a little shy, but this shyness quickly recovered as I reacted.
"Are you Chinese?"
"Yes." This answer also made Fukuhara Hinako relieved. She had no objection to the Chinese people, but if Chen Xing was a stick, she might really leave.
If her family knew that she had been chatting with a guy for so long, they would break her legs and ground her.
To this day, the most annoying people in the island country are the Korean stickmen. If you ask Chen Xing, he hates it. He hopes that the country will be destroyed with a stick, and the men of the island country will suddenly die of an emergency, and then the island country will be merged into China and become Sakura Province. Tsk, perfect.
"You haven't said it yet, what do you think of this group?" Chen Xing was of course asking about his own work.
He had not seen his own work for a long time, but he had been studying the forests of the island nation captured by the photographer named Yamazaki.
Now that there are other people, Chen Xing also wants to ask others for their opinions. Hinako Fukuhara also just entered this exhibition hall, and now she just saw the pictures taken by this photographer named Chen Xing, and she was immediately amazed.
The large-format scenery shows a quiet village in the mountains. The simple yellow warm-toned lights make this mountain village full of warm stories and atmosphere. No matter how impetuous the people who view this work are, they will slowly... clam down.
It looks like a photograph, but it even feels like a painting.
"Si Guoyi, so beautiful." She was obviously captured by this work. This girl might be a little short-sighted. She got very close to her seriously, so much so that the local staff responsible for guiding tourists came over to warn her. .
"Tourist! Please take two steps back!"
"Sorry, sorry!" She took two steps back in a panic, and Chen Xing reached out to help her.
"You take it so seriously and like this set of photography?"
"I'm really sorry. My English is very poor. Can I call my friend and ask her to be our translator?"
"If you want, you can. But I think you are very cute like this. I can teach you English, and you can also teach me Japanese. How about it? Do you want me as a free English teacher?" Fukuhara Hinako touched Touched his face.
So handsome! So handsome! Why do you call me best friend, and ask her to translate for me and the handsome guy? I must be crazy.
He immediately stopped talking about bringing his best friend over, and even thought that she should disappear quickly. It would be best not to appear in front of him or the handsome guy in this exhibition hall.
Thinking of Chen Xing's question just now, Fukuhara Hinako said with admiration: "I think only we Asians have the deepest feelings about this set of works. The scenery is beautiful, the villages are also very quiet, with various shapes, but there are buildings of a unified style. From In this group of works, we can clearly see the extremes of these things, and there is a kind of sad beauty of things.”
"Wu Ai?"
"This is a creative concept of our island country. It dialectically understands an emotion, that is, understanding the sorrow of things. Um, can you understand the English I speak? It's hard for me to express this part of the meaning. Please forgive me. ..." She said it poorly, but Chen Xing is more sensitive to art.
It didn’t take long to figure it out. The island country seems to like this kind of thing, and this concept is simply about showing true feelings.
When people come into contact with the external world, they feel emotions when they touch the scene, feel the things, and their hearts are moved and touched. At this time, the emotions that naturally come out may be joy, anger, fear, sadness, low-level and tactful, or Longing for longing.
People who have such emotions are people who know how to mourn things. Isn't it just a 'passionate person'? There's something about the little devil, it's so fancy that I almost didn't understand it.
"Then, who do you think is better, this... uh, this set of works of mine, or the one in front of me?"
"I prefer the works of your Chinese photographers," she said.
