Chapter 294 Traveling More and More(1/2)
A certain Chen Xing fan group.
‘I wanted to buy a camera when I joined the group before, but I have been putting it off until now. Where can I buy this camera advertised by Xing Geqia?’
‘Can’t buy it anywhere’
‘???’
'It hasn't been released yet. Brother Xing got the camera in advance for review. It's really worthy of being the grandmother I follow. It's amazing. Also, Hasselblad cameras have always been very expensive. Whether it's the lens or the body, I
I can't afford it anyway'
‘I say a number,’
‘???’
‘This is the price of the Hasselblad x1d ii. Think about it, will the new x2d be lower than this number? A novice camera can only cost 10,000 yuan, don’t buy such an expensive camera.’
'Bullshit, don't listen to him, the camera needs to be perfect in one step. When the x2d is released, buy one immediately and it will last for at least ten years. You won't lose much if you sell it even ten years later. This is no better than replacing one camera one by one.
Be strong?'
Chen Xing’s fan base ranges from newbies to photography veterans.
Whether the x2d camera is good or not, and whether it is necessary to buy it, all Chen Xing’s fan groups are arguing about it. As soon as the day breaks, the activity level of the group has increased by several levels, which is enough to show that Chen Xing’s evaluation is in
How popular he is among his fan base.
After following Chen Xing for two years, this is the first time they see Chen Xing having sex.
Of course those who are capable should support them.
However, the discussion in the group is so lively, and there are still few people who are really sure to buy it. Some of them are practitioners in the photography circle, and some of them are photography enthusiasts who are not short of money.
What can I say about Hasselblad's cameras? The pixels are indeed good and the images are beautiful, but professional photographers consider them to be work cameras rather than daily cameras, so they had no idea of buying the x1d before.
And Chen Xing spoke very well of the new x2d.
It feels like you can travel the world at once.
The popularity reached its peak the next day. Chen Xing received a lot of WeChat messages as soon as he came. Many people were asking about the camera. There were also people who wanted to find the shooting location. They liked the one Chen Xing shot so much.
Ancient Buddha stone wall.
Before Chen Xing downgraded the photo and put it on the website, he saw someone wanting to buy the photo.
Seth: (Picture) génial!
(Awesome), this photo is great! When will it be sent to us?
President Zhou: Xiao Chen, you took a picture of a Buddha? Someone from the Pompidou Center asked me to help ask if this work will sell.
President Zhou is an elder whom Chen Xing met in France and is the president of the Paris Art Association. Although he was brought to France by his parents to receive European education when he was a child, he has always paid close attention to Chinese culture and speaks Mandarin very well.
Chen Xing also received a lot of help from him during his time in Paris.
Paris reacted so quickly?
Chen Xing only made the domestic Chinese video last night. The foreign video had to be redubbed and had English subtitles, but it was too late. So Chen Xing planned to sleep in a room and then change it today. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he would go to France.
Just received the message.
Chen Xing didn't expect this, but he can still understand it.
Although Chen Xing has many domestic fans, it is the French photography circle that pays the most attention to his works.
Miao Village, which is still participating in the exhibition in Arles, has been asked by many people, and the gallery is also negotiating the price. If nothing else happens, by the end of this photography exhibition, Chen Xing will be able to use the photography technology to reap the rewards he is engaged in.
The largest amount of money I have received since working.
Chen Xing replied to President Zhou first and said: Good morning, President Zhou, you can ask them to contact Perenna Gallery.
Then reply to Seth: I’ll give it to you later.
Chen Xing washed his face and sat in front of the computer in a daze for a while.
He was wondering whether this photo should be color-adjusted, but to be honest, Chen Xing didn't know what should be modified. The texture and color of the original photo were already very strong, so he could just leave it to Seth. But he really didn't want to adjust the color.
?
If you send the original photo to others, is it too easy for you to earn money from this photo?
Forget it, what others are interested in is this original picture, so what else should I adjust? Doesn’t this just mean that I was very good at the early stage?
So Chen Xing sent this photo to the gallery’s email address.
In fact, if given the choice, Chen Xing is not willing to place his works in the Pompidou Center.
When Chen Xing traveled to France for the first time, he divided the three major museums in Paris into three categories: 'understandable', 'in between understandable and incomprehensible', and 'unintelligible'.
Among them, Pompidou is the one who can't understand.
There are basically modern works of art that appeared after the 19th century.
Although there is no shortage of exquisite works, many of them are "a few paper cuts", "unknown pigment oil paintings", "bicycle rims", and even oil paintings that Chen Xing thinks are ugly and have ordinary colors. Reporter Cyril
Portrait of Via von Harden'.
It’s really ugly!
Chen Xing feels that his current oil painting skills are better than this one.
But despite being famous and rich, it is firmly established among the three major museums in Paris, and the number of tourists who visit it every year is not much less than that of the Louvre.
The more Chen Xing recalled, the clearer the works inside became. Chen Xing quickly sent another message to Seth.
"If there is a better option, don't sell it to the Pompidou Center. The price can be cheaper."
Seth has been waiting for news from Chen Xing, and after receiving it, he sent a speechless emoticon.
Where can there be a better choice than the Pompidou Center? The Louvre does not accept photography works. At most, there is the Musee d'Orsay, but you can't sell them if you want. Only the Pompidou Center accepts them.
There are many photographic artworks.
Seth suddenly realized the reason why Chen Xing said this, and quickly asked: "Has the Pompidou Center contacted you?"
"They asked someone to ask me if my work would sell."
"That's good, that's good, hahaha, you are really going to be popular"
The works of artists whose works are collected by the three major museums are much easier to sell than before. There are even big collectors who pay special attention to Chen Xing. They can still sell for a higher price without having to recommend their works to others.

"This is a good thing. I will help you contact the Musée d'Orsay. If it doesn't work, Pompidou is the best choice."
Although I don’t know why Chen Xing has an opinion about Pompidou, Seth has no opinion about this museum. Its existence is reasonable. Moreover, his angle of viewing modern art is different from Chen Xing’s.
From a visual perspective, it is true that a lot of modern art is ugly.
But you have to know what the artist was thinking at the time.
An artist who had always been kind to others suddenly got angry at home one day and started to draw a lot.
Can you say that this painting is not precious?
Of course, the prerequisite for doing this is to be famous. If you look carefully, there are not many unknown creators in the Center Pompidou. If Chen Xing can become one of them, Seth will even think that Chen Xing is on top.
p>
After all, Chen Xing is only 20 years old now. No matter how you look at it, he is too young.
After spending some time processing the waves of messages on his phone, Chen Xing began to dub the video he edited last night and create English subtitles.
Last month, Chen Xing received more than 10,000 US dollars from YouTube, which is more than just a promotional channel.
It’s okay to use it as a way to make money with a little effort.
In the afternoon, Ji Xuehua sent a video request, and Chen Xing was still dubbing in the hotel. Next, he saw the top of the ancient Buddha stone wall, and then Ji Xuehua's face appeared.
"Brother Xing?"
"Did you go there overnight?"
"Yes, I also wanted to take pictures of the sunrise. I managed to take pictures of the sunrise, but there was no Buddha statue."
Chen Xing smiled and said: "Yes, the sunrise is from the direction of the cliff, but I think it is also good to take pictures of the sunrise over there. That mountain is the highest mountain nearby, and the surrounding view is very broad."
"Yeah, can you help me see how I'm doing in a moment?"
"Okay."
"And this one, Brother Xing, did you know that the fence is being built up here?"
He switched the camera to the back of the phone, and Chen Xing saw many workers in hats building fences around the ancient Buddha stone wall. As Ji Xuehua rotated, Chen Xing saw someone driving piles and erecting pulleys next to the cliff.
There should be something that needs to be dragged up from below.
Because there is a very narrow road up the mountain, if you want to drag larger things, you can only drag them up from the cliff.
"The movement is quite fast." Chen Xing said.
Ji Xuehua said:
"I just had a meal at the temple below and was about to take another picture of the sunset. Unexpectedly, I saw them carrying stones up. They said that the government asked them to build a guardrail for the stone wall and that there were repairs next to the cliff.
