A WeChat group with 200+ members.
Song Shulan once again sent out an emoticon expressing envy.
"I really want to go too!! It's a pity that I can't take leave!"
During her schooling, she worked hard and studied, plus some living expenses provided by her family's recent wealth, and she saved a huge sum of 15,000 yuan. This amount of money is more or less, and a trip to Iceland is definitely enough. As for food and accommodation after arriving in Iceland... isn't that Chen Xing?
Although they rarely met, the two of them chatted more frequently than some pure online relationships. She didn't believe that Chen Xing would not care about her life when they got there.
It's a pity that I can't ask for leave.
As for this group, judging from its appearance and name, it is a fan group for brothers in the entertainment industry, but everyone who joins the group claims to be Chen Xing’s ex-girlfriend. After joining the group, I must say something that I and Chen Xing have to say. Story or I'll kick you the next day.
When Song Shulan first learned about this group, she was stunned.
My Ah Xing has so many ex-girlfriends?
However, she soon discovered that many people who joined the group made up stories. Although the male protagonist in the group was named Chen Xing, his style of doing things was completely different from Chen Xing.
For example, a woman said that Chen Xing cooked rice at eight o'clock in the morning and gently woke her up.
joke?
Can Chen Xing cook a meal and wake a woman up?
Based on his understanding of Chen Xing, if he cooked a meal at eight o'clock and asked Chen Xing to get up for dinner, he would probably kick him away, then push him out of the room and lock the door to provide one-stop service. Can't wake up from nap.
And Chen Xing doesn't know how to cook, which is the most important thing.
But these are not important. What is important is that she saw many people in the group showing off their visas, and some people had even bought tickets and were preparing to leave for Iceland today.
Maybe these Jimei people will be able to see their star brother in two days.
I'm so jealous.
After closing the WeChat group, Song Shulan went to Chen Xing's Moments to see if he had posted any new messages. Before going to bed, she planned to watch Chen Xing's Iceland video again.
The opening is a logo that has been used for a long time. There are many empty shots and quick transitions to the rhythm of the music.
Chen Xing is occasionally seen in these shots, either walking in the mountains or walking on the beach.
All handsome without exception.
Song Shulan knew what kind of person Chen Xing was. When she saw such a video, she felt fashionable and charming, and she also thought Chen Xing was cute. This 20-year-old man really knows how to look cool in front of the camera!
Love it, love it.
Even before the introduction, the scenery in these shots is already very intoxicating.
This is also the charm of Chen Xing’s travel videos.
There are many people who post travel videos, and there are countless vlogs all over the Internet, but Chen Xing’s works have an immersive feeling, which is related to the color palette of the videos, Chen Xing’s temperament, and excellent photography. .
These short shots played for several minutes before Chen Xing's voice finally appeared in the video.
"Iceland, a country of ice and fire, is the country with the most WeChat addresses. When you mention this place, what do you think of?"
"Daydreamer."
"Interstellar."
"A Song of Ice and Fire, or the beautiful aurora you can see from your windowsill."
"The pace of life here is extremely slow. It is not bordered by Eurasia or any other landmass. It is drifting alone in the Arctic Circle. The country's population is less than 400,000."
The scene on the streets of Iceland appeared on the screen. I don’t know if there was any color correction. The street scenes looked as clear as the movie. Several people fell to the ground on a slope.
"This is Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. Yes, there are no high-rise buildings here. It looks like small towns everywhere in Europe. It is winter and the roads are slippery. I heard many people when I passed by The curses after the fall, these people were from different countries, different languages, different accents, so I was ready to save them."
In the next scene, Chen Xing carefully reached out from outside the camera to pull these people, but accidentally slipped and rolled to the side of these people.
They looked at each other and then laughed.
I wore thick clothes in the winter, so sitting down on the ground didn't hurt much, but it was just a little embarrassing.
But if everyone is like this, it doesn’t matter.
"It's a pity that I fell down and the rescue was ineffective...but I brought them smiles. Another way of success?"
The scene quickly cuts to a hotel room, with the camera moving forward and looking down through the window.
"I live on a very famous bar street in Reykjavik, or the surrounding streets are all bar streets. My friend told me that every Friday and Saturday night, this bar street will It’s very lively, and the bar’s opening hours are from 10 o’clock to 4 o’clock in the morning, which is comparable to our country.”
"I was lucky enough to join them on Halloween, wandering around the bars on this street like a skilled local... By the way, the bars here are free of charge, even if they don't drink, they will You are welcome to join us.”
The last part of this video is in the hotel.
The window is partially open, the wind is strong, the curtains are fluttering, and you can still see some snowflakes floating in?
Chen Xing sat at the table, reading with a lamp on.
“When I decided to release this video, there was another blizzard in Iceland. I couldn’t go out and had nothing to do, so I made a cup of coffee and read carefully with a book given by a friend. Sometimes I don’t know if it’s at night, it’s always dark in Iceland in the winter.”
"I feel sleepy after reading, so I close the windows, draw the curtains, and don't set the alarm clock."
The screen went black.
When it lights up again, Chen Xing's voiceover disappears, leaving only the first-person perspective of a person getting up from the bed, the sound of putting on shoes, and the sound of walking. Then he opens the window and sees the aurora in the sky amid pure music. .
After fifteen seconds, the video ends.
Hot comments in the comment section.
“Iceland may be Klein’s blue plus a little Monet’s gray, forming the remaining tenderness.”
"I really want to go to Iceland. I am a person who likes to be alone. I really like this quiet place that doesn't look like the earth and is isolated from the world. I don't know when I can realize my dream. Ah, I I hate you! Why do you want me to see such a video!"
"The scene where Chen Xing is reading is so cool!!! What does the polar night in Iceland have to do with it? You are my obsession and love in the long dark night."
"I was laughing so hard. I went to save someone and fell down myself. Can I really laugh when something like this happens?"
"——Didn't you die laughing too?"
"Having taken time-lapse photography, or upgraded it, I know how difficult this video is, and how difficult it is to adjust the colors. After I went to Paris to study, not only did my photos become better, but my videos were also so good. ,sharp."
Song Shulan didn't quite understand what these people were talking about, but she just thought Chen Xing was so handsome.
She randomly found a video of Chen Xing's past shooting and played it. She put the black screen of her phone next to the bed and listened to the sounds inside. Song Shulan fell asleep contentedly.
Although I can't go to Iceland, I still have his voice accompanying me...
……………………
Iceland.
After returning from the endurance cycling race, Chen Xing has lived in Reykjavik for a long time.
He also gradually realized the boringness of the extreme night.
There were only a few scenic spots, and it was almost done after visiting them. It was pitch black everywhere, and even if he went to other scenic spots, he couldn't see anything. It also ruined the image of Iceland in his mind, so it was better to come again in the summer.
So I read in my room every day.
Chen Xing has read the sixth part of the English version of "Mein Kampf" by Karl, and Chen Xing has also read some of Sister Jia Qian's books.
Really well written.
The writing style has been carefully crafted, and there is no comparison between him and these two people now, but who is better than the other, but as long as you pick it up and read it, and gain something from it, then it will be fine.
No matter how good the writing is, it must serve the story.
When he can't stay in the hotel anymore, Chen Xing will occasionally go out for a walk, take pictures on the streets, and take a walk.
Reykjavik is really small. It only takes twenty minutes to walk from one end of the main street to the other. Therefore, Chen Xing explored many streets and alleys this week, but he also walked like this , actually got out of the relationship.
In the future, I will have another place to retire...
At the same time, Chen Xing also learned some Icelandic from the girl at the hotel front desk.
Reykjavik means smoke in Icelandic, and Weike means Konkau. Together they form a smoking port.
This may be the scene that people who first came to this city saw, because there are many hot springs in this city, and there is a lot of smoke in the winter, so as the name suggests, I chose Reykjavik. name.
The Nordic people's naming is relatively simple, without as many twists and turns as the British and French.
In China, it may sound beautiful and noble, but in fact, it is just transliterated and it feels unclear.
If you really want to call this place a smoking port, then there will be no beauty at all.
There are only two iconic buildings in this small city, one is the cathedral that can be seen everywhere, and the other is Lake Toning. Chen Xing has been to both places, and prefers to sit by Lake Toning and read a book. , the feeling of watching wild ducks.
There is a very peaceful atmosphere.
As Christmas approaches, the festive atmosphere on the streets becomes more and more intense.
It's definitely not as strong as Halloween. It's Christmas and it's not good for you to hang a scary thing at your door. In the past, everyone could tolerate Halloween, after all, it is an annual holiday.
But if you still have it at Christmas, then maybe those grumpy people passing by will take it away and throw it away for you.
The atmosphere of Christmas is warm and positive.
When returning to the hotel from Lake Toning, Chen Xing always passes by a shopping mall. There is now a huge Christmas tree in the center. Every day when Chen Xing passes by, he can see someone tying wishes to the tree. It's a bit like Wishing tree in domestic temple.
Some people even hang the gift boxes directly without knowing what is inside.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to hang the gifts directly on the supermarket shelves?
Time passed quickly, and on December 22, Chen Jiaqian invited Chen Xing to his home.
Chen Xing also happened to have something to do with her, so the two agreed to meet at the door of the cathedral... This is especially normal in Iceland. Two people who live in different places but don't know the specific location, a lost tourist looking for a tour guide, a couple dating The meeting place is basically here.
Where is the other part?
Lake Thorning...
These two places are more conspicuous in Iceland, and most of the people who meet up at Lake Toning are locals, because tourists who accidentally get lost will most likely not be able to find the location of Lake Toning, but the cathedral is different. , as long as you are not blind you can find it.
Chen Xing took the sample book sent by the publisher and left the hotel.
A total of five copies of this book were sent, and two copies were sent to Carl and Ai two days ago.
Chen Xing even opened a copy himself.
The publishing house has been preparing a book for so long, and has done a lot of preparation work. The cover of this book has the feel of National Geography of China. On it is a landscape photo prepared by Chen Xing, with Chen Xing in the lower left corner. Star portrait.
Originally, he was not prepared to put his photo on it, but the publisher repeatedly promised that it would increase sales, and it would increase sales a lot, so Chen Xing agreed.
Who can have trouble with money?
Then there's the name.
"Travel is a Life - French Travel Notes"
If the sales of this book are good, then Chen Xing will prepare to publish a Nordic travel diary. There are many things he can write about in Northern Europe, so he can just pick some exciting ones, but they are not as detailed as the French travel diary.
Chen Xing was far away when he saw Chen Jiaqian looking down at her phone. He quietly went up to cover her eyes and said in a somewhat unfamiliar Icelandic language: "Hello, madam, I am intoxicated by your beauty. Can I ask for your contact information. "
"Chen Xing, are you childish?"
"??"
"Can you guess it? It seems that my voice has not changed enough."
Chen Jiaqian put her phone in her pocket and said a little speechlessly: "I think you should be here by this time, and if you cover your eyes and let people guess about it... I think there is a high probability that you can do it."
"Ah...this!"
"Haha, but you are very good at learning Icelandic."
Speaking of this, Chen Xing's complacency can be seen from his expression.
"That's right, I'm a language genius."
After living in Iceland for nearly a month, he went downstairs every day to chat with the lady at the front desk in Icelandic. This made his Icelandic improve rapidly and he was now able to carry out some simple communications.
Smiles are contagious, and Chen Jiaqian, who is clasping her hands, is also full of smiles now.
Chen Xing said: "By the way, I'll give you a Christmas gift."
Chen Xing took out the gift box.
The night after tomorrow is Christmas Eve, so there is no problem in giving Christmas gifts at this time.
"What is it?" Chen Jiaqian took it curiously.
"You'll know when you take it apart."
Chen Xing waited for her to open it. He had never told Chen Jiaqian that he had written a book, and it was a travelogue like hers. Chen Xing was looking forward to her reaction after seeing his book.
However, Chen Jiaqian just put it away with a smile and had no intention of opening it in front of Chen Xing.
She said: "Let's go, today is the winter solstice in our country, I made some glutinous rice balls, and I treat you to eat glutinous rice balls today."
"Is it the winter solstice?" Chen Xing said.
He doesn't remember these traditional festivals well.
"Yeah, it's winter solstice."
Today is the winter solstice, tomorrow is the twelfth lunar month, and the next month is New Year’s Eve. Time flies so fast.
At least this year, Chen Xing felt that it had passed in the blink of an eye.
Chen Xing said: "Can you go to the uncle and aunt in the hot pot restaurant first? I have something I want to buy."
