Chapter 241: Live Streaming the Arles Photography Festival
When Chen Xing came to the ward with meals for the two girls, Chen Xing heard what Azi was talking about about big stars.
He pushed the door open, put the thermos box on the table, and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"You, I didn't expect you to be very famous in China."
"Since when are photographers considered celebrities?" Chen Xing said with a smile, sitting on the bed. "The food they cook is delicious, but it may be that I haven't eaten our country's food for a long time, and there is something wrong with it."
Mirror, you can eat it while it’s hot anyway.”
Azi picked up the lunch box, handed the phone to Chen Xing, and said, "Look, we found this."
A live broadcast.
……………………
France, Arles.
A female anchor with minimal makeup, wearing a pink sun hat, was broadcasting live while holding up her mobile phone.
There are rumors that the more beautiful the anchors are, the more they like to wear light makeup, while those with average looks like to wear thicker makeup during live broadcasts, and then use special effects to cover up the shortcomings of their appearance.
But outdoors, no matter whether you are beautiful or not, you have to wear makeup.
Unless you can guarantee that outdoor activities will not ruin your carefully crafted other self.
However, the anchor whose username is Yin Yin is also quite beautiful. Passersby and fans often take pictures of her daily appearance. This kind of traveling anchor will have many fans to meet by chance.
She was traveling in France during this time, and came here after learning that there was an international photography festival in Arles. She is an outdoor anchor who specializes in traveling. She uses her mobile phone to broadcast live broadcasts while traveling to earn some travel expenses.
"The sun is so bright today, and the Arles area is much hotter than Paris. But this kind of heat is also for France. I went to Jiangcheng to meet friends last month, and the temperature was really... A moment of silence for my friend, I hope
This summer will end earlier."
Yin Yin acted very sad.
But judging from how she is dressed today, she looks cute no matter what she does.
"Okay, the silence is over. Let me show you the photography festival. I would like to solemnly explain that my live broadcast is permitted by the Arles International Photography Festival. If any fans happen to be here, they can bring their cameras, but please don't
Feel free to take photos or videos in the exhibition hall, we must respect the rights of the artists."
Not long after she started the live broadcast, she took her mobile phone all the way from the hotel to outside an exhibition hall at the Arles Photography Festival.
“I don’t need to say more about how important the Arles Photography Festival is among photographers. I said a lot during the live broadcast yesterday. Simply put, it is on the same level as the four major film festivals. You can find the details online.
The exhibition hall we visited today is inside the Arles Roman Amphitheater and is one of the main exhibition halls of this photography festival."
Yin Yin circles around so that fans can see her surroundings.
The Roman Amphitheater is the most famous tourist attraction in this place. It was built in the first century AD and has two floors. It can accommodate 20,000 spectators to watch gladiators, hunting and other performances here. However, in modern times, bullfights and concerts are usually held here.
and some theatrical performances.
‘France also has the Colosseum? It feels more complete than the one in Italy. Was it renovated later?’
‘This kind of building can maintain its main character even if it is renovated.’
‘It’s not easy for this kind of building to be preserved until now. It can still maintain its function. Come in quickly, Yin Yin!’
Yin Yin watched the barrage for a while, and then said with a smile: "Thank you for the rocket from my brother who likes Teacher Ma... um, don't worry, let's go in now. I have to look for my invitation letter, otherwise I can't
Live broadcast inside."
"Find me!"
She held up a ticket in her hand, and this action caused some barrage from some old perverts.
Today's era is an era of beauty competition. Some people do nothing but chat with people in front of the camera and have countless fans. If you join an entertainment company and still do nothing, let the capital help you.
If you put it into operation, you can make countless money and attract countless fans.
She handed the invitation letter to a staff member standing at the door and got a work permit hanging around her neck.
She recalled the homework she did yesterday and said:
“The importance of this exhibition hall can be ranked among the top three in this photography festival. Although the works of well-known masters are not displayed, countless works sent from all over the world have been selected and the most beautiful ones have been selected.
”
"If you want to see the masterpieces, please move to the main venue."
"As for why I came here, the reason is very simple, because there are works from our domestic photographers on display here."
She introduced the rules of this year's photography festival to her fans, and also explained that there are only two photographers participating in the exhibition this year. One of them was the award-winning photographer at the 'China Arles Photography Festival' held in China last year. There are also such photographers
There is an opportunity to exhibit here, but it is at a lower level than the normally selected works.
So, seriously speaking, only Chen Xing passed the selection this year.
In the open-air square, carpets have been used to divide the paths for tourists to walk, and the works are placed in the gaps between the red carpets, some standing up, and some diagonally placed on the ground, so that people who watch the works have a better view.
angle.
"Judging from the sign at the entrance, this year's theme should be "Hometown", so we can see that many photographers have photographed their hometowns."
She did not rush to find the works of her compatriots. She just memorized the route and walked slowly, taking her fans to appreciate the works of outstanding photographers from other countries along the way.
‘The snow scenery in Northern Europe is really beautiful.’
‘This forest is so beautiful, it completely matches my impression of the place where elves live.’
‘What a desolate place, where is this?’
This is a long shot of a street. There are no green plants on the street. The exterior walls of the buildings are yellow with many holes. There are few pedestrians. The photographer's photos show confusion. The theme of the work is a giant building.
Graffiti.
A pigeon holds the head of a gun in its beak. The gun is divided into two halves, and the other half is in the green land.
Yin Yin came closer to the introduction and read: "This is the hometown city shot by Shural, a photographer from Libya. Wow, these holes were made by gunfire. They look like dangerous buildings. But according to the photographer
, it’s still full of people.”
This photo shows the cruelty of war.
Along the way, she saw the works of many photographers. Photographers from various countries tried their best to express their views on their hometown and showed their best sides.
Yin Yin finally made it to Asia.
The majority of people in Asia are from island countries. Their photographers have integrated into the Western system a long time ago. Japanese photography style has also had a great influence on the pattern of world photography. Therefore, Europeans and Americans can easily accept photography from island countries.
Teacher.
Then there is the Korean style.
Bangzi learned his photography from the island country. If you look at the photography from these two countries, many ordinary people can’t tell the difference.
Then there are other countries.
There are a total of nine countries in Asia participating in the exhibition this time. Except for Japan and South Korea, other countries basically only have one group of works. However, even among so many works, Chen Xing's group is still very high, which is enough to show that the organizing committee attaches great importance to him.
Like.
When I first came here, the first work I saw was taken by an island photographer.
This photographer uses warm colors well.
Yin Yin quickly glanced at this group of works, and then saw the Chinese name on the introduction board - Chen Xing.
‘Oh my God, I finally saw Chinese characters in your live broadcast today.’
‘Why am I so touched all of a sudden? The words in front of me are either in English or some messy words, and I can’t understand them at all. Finally, we can see one of our own people in this exhibition hall.’
"Unfair! How come a country with a good life is ahead of us?"
Yin Yin said:
"This is ranked according to international popularity and the organizing committee's love for the works. The organizing committee believes that the works taken by the photographers from the island countries in front are better, so they are placed at the first position in this area."
She first went to see the introduction to Chen Xing at the photography festival.
Below the large black Chinese characters are several dense rows of English.
[This is not the first time that Chen Xing, a young photographer from China, has participated in a photography festival. Last year, he successfully won the Best Story Award at the French Winter Photography Festival with a pair of 'climbers'. There should still be people who have lingering impressions of him.
On the majestic snow-capped mountains?
This time, he brought his latest works to the Arles Photography Festival, using nine works to show the traditions of the Chinese nation and the Chinese Miao villages. The perfect combination of night scenes and lighting, as well as the excellent photography spots, make this work unique
It has extraordinary charm.
If our photography festival also has a story award, then we will definitely award it to this young photographer]
Yin Yin said: "Wow, the evaluation is so high."
‘I don’t understand, what are you talking about?’
‘What comment? (covering face)’
She smiled, translated and read the passage, and then said:
"I have also seen Chen Xing's work last year, which showed all the climbers struggling in the snowy mountains. If you look carefully, you can feel the power of struggle emerging in your heart. It is an excellent photographic work.
, and he himself is also a grandma in the travel area, a existence that Yin Yin admires."
Taking another step forward, Yin Yin stood in front of the work.
Compared with the previous works of the islanders, Chen Xing only ranked second, but judging from the people standing around, there were at least seven or eight people standing here admiring or studying Chen Xing's works, while the island photographers
There are only two or three people.
Chen Xing's work is leaning on the ground at an angle of about 35 degrees. The organizing committee probably wanted to show the angle from which Chen Xing took the shot. The choice of composition is particularly important in this group of works by Chen Xing, and it is also one of the highlights of this group of works. Night scene, lights...
She quickly understood what the lighting mentioned in the introduction was about. The night view of the Miao Village taken by Chen Xing was so beautiful.
Although it is a night scene, the outlines of those wooden buildings can be clearly seen under the high sensitivity of the camera. Every household has lights and the colors of the lights are uniform. If any household uses energy-saving lamps, the effect will not be the same.
So good now.
‘Where is this?’
‘It should be Qianhu Miao Village? I just went there in April.’
‘Who has never been there? How could this be Qianhu Miao Village?’
‘This is a village in southern Yunnan. It is mentioned in one of Chen Xing’s travel notes. If you are interested, you can search for “Thousands of Mirrors…”
‘Damn it! Doesn’t this make sense if you don’t win a grand prize?’
‘I have something to say, I have been watching your live broadcast for a long time, and I think this photo is good. Every time I look at it, I feel something in my heart. The moonlight shines through the millennium, illuminating the people of today and the past.’
‘Inspiration has come! I’m going to write music!’
‘Boss Chen is cheating! Is he at the scene? Please let him change the station! He has been missing for a long time!’
‘You live well in your own fan base, and you go to Africa to play.’
A large group of Chen Xing's fans suddenly appeared in the barrage. Most of these people were not very interested in the photography festival. They were just Chen Xing's personal fans. People spread the word that they could see Chen Xing's latest works here. As a fan, of course you have to support your idol, so everyone is here.
Yin Yin saw her popularity increasing, and she was shocked and did not forget to thank Chen Xing in her heart.
"New friends, please pay attention. I am also a fan of Chen Xing. Let's continue to look at the second work. Tomorrow we can also visit the school where Chen Xing studied. Paris high fashion is also very famous internationally.
An art school from which countless artists have emerged..."
In the ward, three heads gathered together to watch the live broadcast.
Chen Xing also pays great attention to his own works.
He likes this group very much and has kept it since last year.
Seeing that the organizing committee preferred the works of photographers from island countries and ranked him first in Asia, Chen Xing was not convinced. What country doesn't have forests? His own works are many times better than the forests of that island country.<
/p>
Why would you put him first and just rely on his seniority?
When he saw that more people chose to appreciate his works, and his serious expressions were clearly visible in the live broadcast, Chen Xing felt relieved.
The placement of the works is related to the organizing committee, but most of the awards at the Arles Photography Festival are closely related to the audience. From this point of view, Chen Xing has a greater chance of winning the award than others in Asia.
He suddenly understood the organizing committee.
After all, the aesthetics are different.
It’s not that their aesthetics are bad, it’s mainly a matter of habituation. The island nation’s photography culture has been integrated into the international photography system a long time ago, while the Chinese style is still a niche in Europe.
But Chen Xing’s works turned the niche into the public.
There is no standard for aesthetics, what I love is high-end.
As long as there are enough people who like your work, even if the subject matter you shoot is vulgar, it will still have a sense of high-end, not to mention that the subject matter Chen Xing shoots is not bad at all.
Azi saw the barrage that suddenly appeared in the live broadcast and said: "You have so many fans."
"They are all friends who like photography. They are very interested in my works and support me. This feels pretty good, hahaha..."
During this period, Bizhan has more and more fans, but this way of quickly increasing fans is not what he likes.
It sounds a bit Versailles, but this is really his idea.
What he wanted were fans who liked his travel videos or liked his photography. Of the hundreds of thousands of fans that followed, most of them wanted to see videos showing his face.
For example, traveling to visit stores, or showing up to tell travel stories.
Fans used to be very quiet and Buddhist.
It’s very noisy right now, and the private messages on Bizhan are never empty.
