Perhaps in front of her uncle and aunt, these two people made her feel some warmth of home.
"Is it delicious?"
"Well..." Chen Xing drawled a long voice and nodded in Hedwig's expectant eyes, "It's not bad, but a spaghetti is really a bit simpler. I hope you can make more for me to try in the future."<
/p>
"No problem, aunt taught me a lot. Did your school start so early? I didn't expect you to be back now."
"I still have to go to Arles." Chen Xing said.
Seth has held 9 photography exhibitions in Europe, starting in Paris. Currently he and his team are in Denmark, and will soon return to Arles for the last one, starting in France and ending in France. He will give a positive response to who is the best in Asia?
Jia Xinrui’s doubts.
"Still leaving? When."
Hedwig finally waited until Chen Xing came back, but she didn't expect to have to leave again.
"Tomorrow."
Today I will clean the bedroom at home and have a simple day of rest.
Hedwig ate less and made herself a sandwich for lunch. She had already thought about what to do for Chen Xing in the evening. How about buying some steak in the supermarket and eating beef for dinner?
The main reason is that Chen Xing likes to eat beef and mutton, and steak is easier to prepare than lamb chops.
Hedwig took Chen Xing to see the paintings she created during this period.
She came up once in advance and probably hid all the things that Chen Xing shouldn't see. Chen Xing's eyes subconsciously looked at the closet and the slightly bulging thing under the quilt next to the wall, with a slightly amused smile. After looking around, he asked:
"What about the one you drew before? The one on the beach."
"Sold." She touched one of her paintings and asked, "Guess how much it cost?"
Chen Xing saw that she was a little proud and said: "Five thousand? Six thousand?"
"Five thousand...how do you know?"
I was guessed right away.
Chen Xing pretended to be mysterious and shook his head: "This is a secret."
She is not famous at all now. It would be great if her previous works could be sold as ornaments for two to three thousand euros. But she has such a happy expression, so it is definitely not the original price of two to three thousand euros.
During the previous on-campus exhibition, her painting was liked by many tourists, and she did have strong emotions when she painted it.
Therefore, a small doubling is no problem.
It takes a long time for Hedwig to paint an oil painting, but judging from this trend, it is enough for her to live in this country.
It doesn’t matter if you never return to the United States again. Paris can accept artists from all countries.
Even Chen Xing didn't know that Aunt Lizi had waived her accommodation fee in this house. She only needed to clean the house and mop the floor every day or every other day. p>
Her own room is very messy, but it can't be said that Hedwig doesn't like cleanliness.
It is normal for a small room to be used as both a bedroom and a studio. A painter is not as worry-free as a photographer. All equipment can be solved with a moisture-proof box. When you go out, you can take your camera with you, and when you come back, you only use your computer to edit pictures and color them. Currently on her easel is a family portrait in the park.
I don’t know if the colors are influenced by Chen Xing. There are many colors in this painting, but the tones are similar, with a soft warmth.
A painting that is very suitable to be hung on the wall of the living room.
Chen Xing returned to the room and changed a sheet, and was about to throw the original sheet into the washing machine downstairs when Hedwig came and knocked on the door, and then asked outside: "Can I go to Arles with you tomorrow?
?"
"Okay."
"That's great. I haven't been out a few times since I've been in Paris." She said with a smile, and then the door to Chen Xing's room opened.
Chen Xing put a bunch of things in her arms and said, "Please help me wash these things and the clothes I put in the washing machine before. Thank you very much."
"Okay...ok..."
Hedwig answered a little dull, but became a little excited as she walked downstairs.
Chen Xing even lets him wash his clothes, so I must be very important to him. Do I also have a chance to be his girlfriend?
With this thought in mind, Hedwig walked with a sense of joy.
It's evening soon.
Chen Xing was lying on the bed, unable to sleep.
A little hot.
The temperature in Paris is actually a bit like that in the north of China, with short summers and long winters. However, because it has a temperate maritime climate, the air is not as dry as in the north, making it a relatively livable city overall.
But isn’t it hot all over the country this year, and Paris is no exception.
Chen Xing, who was used to sleeping in air-conditioned rooms, felt that it was a bit hot at night. If she had known better, she would have bought a mat to sleep on during the day.
No air conditioning in such a big house?
Yes, Chen Xing has never seen an air conditioner in the busiest area of Paris, especially an old house like this.
Not to mention air conditioning, there are no fans.
He fell asleep very late. If Hedwig hadn't come to ask him to eat the next day, Chen Xing might not have been able to catch the noon train to Arles. Even then, there would be no time to eat. After eating some food, Chen Xing found a taxi.
The car takes them to the train station.
When he arrived in Arles, no one picked him up. Chen Xing did not tell Mr. Abbott that he had returned to France, and Seth and the others had not returned to China yet.
"Will your art exhibition be held here?"
"It's a photography festival, not my art exhibition, but it seems to be coming soon."
They will have a show here when Seth comes back, and this is the first time they will show the photo Chen Xing took in Wuyuan.
This photo is now in the interest of many modern museums in France. Some people even outside France are asking if they have any intention of selling it, which makes Chen Xing quickly remove the photo from his website.
He didn't expect this photo to be so popular, and he couldn't think of the reason.
After photographers determine their own style, they basically can't tell the difference. What they can do is to make their works as close to a certain group as possible.
For example, some people have developed into high-end products and produced works that others cannot understand.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
There are also people who take pictures that are close to the people, so that the vast number of people who have no foundation can like them and understand them. These are the two ways.
Chen Xing considers himself to be the second type.
When he graduated, he took a minimalist photo to Hu Nong. The photo had no theme or story, only lines and composition. He was taught this by his professor. And Chen Xing himself didn't like this either.
So these museums are interested in the story behind this photo?
What’s the story?
The passage of time?
The faces are so weathered that you can’t see the faces and the figures with only lines. This kind of thing doesn’t seem to exist in Europe, right?
Anyway, as long as it becomes popular, Chen Xing can't control that much for the time being, which is a good thing.
Chen Xing first took Hedwig to find a hotel to stay in.
The Arles Photography Festival is coming to an end, and the awards will be announced later, so there will be more tourists here than before. The hotels in Arles will gradually fill up, and tourists will even stay directly in the homes of locals.
.
This kind of exhibition usually lasts for two or three months, and the busiest time is the opening and closing.
That is the next period of time.
Hedwig and Chen Xing were not in the same room. Her room was upstairs. After putting her things away, she ran down to Chen Xing without any makeup and said, "Bring me to see the photos you have on display!" "Right away."
Chen Xing picked up the camera, hesitated a little, and gave him a 65 on the head.
The review of Hasselblad this time has received very good responses both at home and abroad. If there is an opportunity to go to Hasselblad headquarters, Chen Xing will definitely ask them for some new lenses.
I heard that it has been developed, but it has not been released yet.
Maybe you want to release it together with x2d?
It would have been nice if I had also given myself a new one during the review. Unfortunately, I only had a normal head attached at that time, and Chen Xing didn’t use it much. After I got the camera, I used three fixed focus lenses that I bought anew. On the way to the arena, Chen Xing asked: "Haven't you seen those photos? Why are you still so excited?"
They all live under the same roof. Since Hedwig's room window can see the sunset and the Eiffel Tower, Chen Xing often goes to her room to edit and color-correct films. Naturally, she has also watched the movie Miao Village.
of works.
"The atmosphere is different between watching it on the computer and watching it in person. I haven't participated in a photography exhibition yet and I want to experience it."
There are a lot of people here in the arena.
The main venue of the Arles Photography Exhibition displays the works of the world's top photographers, not here.
The arena is only a relatively important sub-venue, but because Chen Xing and the island photographer are frantically buying attention to increase their popularity, more and more people come to this sub-venue specifically for them.
As a result, there are no fewer people here than at the main venue.
Moreover, the works of cutting-edge photographers are also very interesting. If you see more works with heavier expressions, looking at the works of these young people can also cultivate your body and mind.
Hedwig heard the people next to her discussing Chen Xing, so she slightly pulled Chen Xing's clothes to remind him.
It looks like a couple hired a local art tour guide in Arles?
The tour guide is a middle-aged man in his forties, and he is introducing to them the works worth seeing in this exhibition hall.
"...Among the photographers I have introduced, Chen Xing from China, Kintaro Yamazaki from Japan, and Christian Bauer from Italy are the most popular. Unfortunately, the Italians were eliminated at the beginning, and now
It has always been the Chinese and the islanders competing for the Best Newcomer Award."
"Then who can get the award?"
The guide shook his head and said:
"I don't know about this. Let's wait until the end to reveal the secret. There are only a few days left, right? Well, after we enter the venue, we can start looking at the works from European countries and finally reach the Asian photographers.
Region..."
Hedwig said: "They all know you."
"Yes, it seems that this award is still unstable."
After buying tickets and entering the exhibition hall, the two of them did not stay outside for long. Chen Xing took Hedwig directly to the Asian exhibition area.
More than half of the people are here.
The two most famous photographers in this exhibition hall this year are both here. In addition, the works from Central Asia and West Asia are also very good. The photographers from West Asia invariably took pictures of war-themed works, hoping to arouse the reaction of the viewers.
War mood.
But it’s of no use.
Europeans are not interested in war to begin with, so these photos would be enough to be included in America’s photography exhibition.
Chen Xing’s works were surrounded by people.
As long as you pay attention to photography during this period, you will definitely have seen news about Chen Xing or push notifications on various social software.
Traffic is king is not synonymous with China. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can create a celebrity anywhere.
Modern photographers and painters are the same, technology is not the most important thing, because the people who collect your works do not know to a large extent whether your work is better or that of another person.
In today's fast-paced life, how much art foundation do rich people who can spend money to buy your works have?
Chen Xing glanced at Kintaro Yamazaki's works.
There are fewer people than oneself.
His works are also relatively simple, and there is no theme in the woods that people can delve into.
Chen Xing scanned the QR code behind him to enter the website of the Arles Photography Festival. He was relieved when he saw that his audience votes and ratings were much higher than others.
In order to improve tourists' viewing mood, the guide just now did not say that Chen Xing's current evaluation is better than that of the islanders.
He took Hedwig up close to his work and looked at it for a while.
Hedwig looked very carefully.
Chen Xing didn't feel wrong before. She was really learning Chen Xing's color application skills. Hedwig discovered very early that Chen Xing's use of color and mood were so good. Although there is not much color to express in this photo
, but the mood of the picture is still very full.
After twenty minutes of waiting, Chen Xing just squeezed out and someone almost walked up to him.
"Hello, are you Mr. Chen Xing?"
This person spoke in Mandarin, but his tone was weird, a bit like... There is an old saying in China, which is called Xixi material, which makes a hero.
Island people?
Chen Xing nodded slightly, looked at his face, and a name suddenly rang in his heart.
It’s you!
Yamazaki Kintaro!
He has an ordinary appearance, less than 1.7 meters tall, and has a broken hairstyle. He is almost the same in person as in the photo.
"Mr. Yamazaki?"
"Hi, just call me Kintaro. I have been waiting for you here for a long time, and today I finally got my wish. I admire Chinese culture very much, and I also like the interpretation of Chinese culture in your photos. Can we have a chat?
”
Hedwig couldn't understand what they said, but she recognized the man.
She had only seen Yamazaki Kintaro's photo ten minutes ago. Knowing that he was Chen Xing's biggest rival in this photography exhibition, she took note of it. Unexpectedly, she had just walked out of the crowd and met him before leaving the exhibition hall. p>
Chen Xing smiled and said: "No problem."
Although he doesn't like island men very much, Chen Xing still does a good job in dealing with others.
The exhibition time of the photography festival is coming to an end soon, and his reputation may rise again in the coming period due to the exhibition of "Buddha's Light". Today, Chen Xing no longer regards the islanders as his opponents.
.
He is just a little curious now about what he wants to do with him.
