Chen Xing quite likes documentaries. He feels that this type of film is more meaningful than movies, TV series, etc.
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 followers 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, I didn't bring anything back from Africa. Before Chen Xing left, I went to visit the market in Tanzania for an afternoon. I felt that the things there were meaningless, so I just bought a souvenir made of rope.<
/p>
She didn't tell Hedwig in advance that she was coming back.
So it’s okay.
Professor Nobel was probably disturbed by what Chen Xing just asked. He didn't say anything for the first half of the ride after getting in the car. The two of them just leaned on the 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 corners of Nobel's mouth turned 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 scope of influence. I can only say that each has its own characteristics." p>
"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 should be especially careful about the island photographer named Yamazaki. Many people in the organizing committee prefer his works."
"Thank you, teacher."
Photographers under the age of 30 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 received 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 about 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. p>
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 he make from this thing? But he wasted a lot of precious time to shoot works for others without copyright. This is a kind of talent.
A huge waste.
………………
The small city of Arles has seen a huge increase 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 photography exhibitions set up in the scenic spots on their way to 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 live in the house of a friend of the professor. If not, it is impossible to book a room in Arles now, unless someone doesn't want to come over and checks out temporarily, but then someone who has been watching will snatch it instantly.<
/p>
The professor’s friend is an old man who is about to be eighty years old and lives alone. He is not a photographer, but as a resident of Arles, his family has a lot of photography collections. His house is quite big, and except for the room where he lives, it is empty.
Three bedrooms.
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 was wearing 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 someone is holding a parasol on the road, you can tell without looking that they are mostly tourists from China, Japan and South Korea, and 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, and 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 20 meters high. There are no overly complicated carving patterns on the wall, but it does not diminish the simple style here at all, as well as the charm that has been washed away by time.
.
I heard that when viewed from a high place, 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. p>
After entering, Chen Xing saw that there were 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.
If you are a newbie, your 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 will end in September. Today, 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 this sign as soon as he came over.
Godtm 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 works from the island country are placed in the first painting, which is very conspicuous, and many people stand and point at the works.<
/p>
This is a scene in the forest.
At least that’s what Chen Xing thinks.
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, so she enthusiastically started chatting 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 he looked around and found that he looked pretty good. So after watching the black people for a month, his heart became a little restless... If I get it, I can be considered a glory for the country, right? Chen Xing thought so
.
He quickly shook his head and said in English: "Sorry, I can't understand Japanese. Can you speak English?"
Then the woman showed a troubled expression: "A little bit."
Turns out he’s not Chinese.
Fukuhara Hinako felt it was a pity. She came to France with her companions. Her best friend is very good and can speak a little English and French, but she is an ordinary college student. She can cope with the exams in China just fine, and she can compete with people who really know English.
It is difficult to communicate when we are together.
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 people from their own country what they 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.”
She speaks very poorly in English, and Chen Xing has to guess a lot of words.
But at least I understand it.
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?
”
Fukuhara Hinako 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?"
"Hmm."
This answer also made Fukuhara Hinako relieved. She had no objection to the Chinese people, but if Chen Xing was a stick man, she might really leave. If her family knew that she had been chatting with a stick man for so long, they would
Her legs were broken and she was grounded.
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?"
Of course Chen Xing is asking about his own works.
He has seen his own works for a long time, but he has 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...
Calm down.
It looks like a photographic work, 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, but she got so close 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 look at it so seriously. Do you really like this set of photography?"
"I'm really sorry, my English is so poor. Can I call my friend and ask her to be our translator?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"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. What do you think? Do you want me as a free English teacher?"
Fukuhara Hinako touched her 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 group of works. The scenery is beautiful, the villages are also very quiet, and they are diverse, but there are buildings of a unified style. From this group of works, you can clearly see the extremes of these things.
, there is a kind of beauty of mourning."
"Sorrow for things?"
"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 my meaning. Please forgive me.
..."
She said poorly, but Chen Xing is more sensitive to art.
I figured it out quickly.
The island country seems to like this kind of thing, and this concept simply expresses true feelings.
When people come into contact with the external world, they feel emotions when they touch scenes and objects, 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... um, this set of works of mine, or the previous one?"
"I prefer the works of your Chinese photographers," she said.
