There is no need to worry about the photos for now. He will stay here for two more days. Maybe Chen Xing can give the photos to her when the elder sister comes to work again the day after tomorrow.
After leaving the photo shop, Chen Xing walked around the flower market a few times.
The flower girls here seem to have made an appointment. More than half of them are wearing very light-colored cloth skirts. They look like the simplicity of the girls in French country movies. Maybe this can improve the immersion of others when buying flowers?<
/p>
However, because this kind of clothing frequently appears in French movies, it can now also invisibly enhance a girl's appearance.
Chen Xing pretended that he was sweeping the street and kept taking pictures here. There are many old buildings in the market that have been built for more than a hundred years, and the photos are very beautiful.
We also had lunch at the market and didn't go back until the afternoon. Then Hedwig got tired of it. She had loved staying with Chen Xing before, and this feeling made her feel very safe.
Today, this sense of comfort has gone far beyond the scope of security.
Chen Xing was also surprised. They had been passionate for two or three hours in the morning and rested for half a day. Are they now just like normal people?
It's not visible on the surface, but secretly Chen Xing is also amazed at the physiques of Europeans and Americans.
Question: What is there to do in the suburbs of Paris?
Answer: Farmhouse.
Farmhouses are not only found in China. There are many such places in the suburbs of Paris. In their barn farm base, many small farmers have converted their houses into B&Bs and rented them out to urbanites who are willing to live a farm life here.
.
It is very close to the Palace of Fontainebleau, and it is a large farm with everything. There is no shortage of tourists.
This is the kind of farmhouse life Chen Xing is living now.
Wake up in a room full of sunlight with the horizon visible to the naked eye, watch Hedwig painting on the grass in the morning, ride around on a horse, and paint for a while in your free time, and then go fishing in a nearby stream. p>
There are very few anglers around here, but there are a lot of fish. Even a dabbler like Chen Xing can appreciate the joy of fish taking the bait.
You don't have to worry about anything at night. When you come home from a walk, Aunt Lizzy will naturally prepare dinner, and Hedwig will take care of her meticulously. She won't make any noise when Chen Xing plays games, and she likes to sit and watch even if she doesn't understand.
.
This alone makes Chen Xing feel that she is countless times better than her predecessors.
Chen Xing and the others only stayed here for three days, and the comfort already resembled the retirement life in Chen Xing's dream. What he also liked was a Chow Chow named 'Duck'. This dog especially likes to be surrounded by dogs.
Written by Chen Xingzhuan.
Chow Chow is a world-famous dog breed, but it is actually a native Chinese dog with a history of more than two thousand years.
Perhaps because of seeing the ‘fellow fellow’, this Chow Chow has been very excited since Chen Xing came here. When Chen Xing walked to the river to fish with Feida’s fishing rod, it followed him step by step.
Chen Xing even had the feeling of whether to raise one.
But I still won’t consider it in the short term.
The world is huge, and Chen Xing hasn’t been to many places yet. It’s not easy to raise a dog and develop a relationship, and it’s very troublesome to carry it with you every day.
The day before he left, Chen Xing went to the market to get the framed photos. When he came back, the female milkmaid was sitting awkwardly on the sofa in the living room chatting with Li Zi. When she saw Chen Xing come in, she was stunned.
stood up.
The day before yesterday, she even thought for a moment that Chen Xing was a bad person and wanted to do something to her.
Later I found out that I was overthinking it.
She only knew that Chen Xing wanted to take a photo of her, but later she got busy and forgot about it. When she finished her work at dawn, she remembered that Chen Xing was there, but she didn't know that Chen Xing was there.
Where.
When she received a call from Li Zi, she learned that Chen Xing was a famous photographer.
Of course, the most important thing is that she heard Li Zi say that Chen Xing would give him thousands of dollars in modeling fees, which made her feel as embarrassed as an employee meeting his boss when she saw Chen Xing.
After Chen Xing entered the room, he smiled and nodded at them and said, "You're here, you've been waiting for a long time."
Standard Chinese greetings.
"No, no, I just came here a few minutes ago."
Li Zi said: "Prady, sit down. Chen is a very friendly person. You will make him uncomfortable. Chen, show me the photos quickly!"
Li Zi took the bag from Chen Xing's hand expectantly. Inside was a carefully framed photo frame, which was about the same size as the wedding photo she and her husband put on the desk. She quickly took it out and looked at it with Prady.
.
There are dark corners all around the picture, so dark that nothing can be seen. The subject is Prady and the cow. The composition is centered. The character is on the right side of the picture. She looks at her hands seriously, and her movements are precise and standard. p>
There is a saying in China that a serious man is the most handsome.
In fact, no matter what occupation, people who work hard are the best humanistic photography materials, whether they are sanitation workers sweeping the floor early in the morning, bus drivers looking at the road ahead while driving, or ordinary employees chatting about work on the phone on the subway.
As long as someone works hard, the photos will look good.
But the premise is to find a suitable angle.
Once you get used to this humanistic shooting method, you can capture a sense of story even if you are photographing your mother knitting sweaters at home.
The front light illuminates her and the cow, and the cow looks at the camera with human eyes.
In the distance, there is a cowshed with a light source hanging at the door. The middle is divided by darkness and becomes two areas. In addition, Chen Xing deliberately creates dark corners on the edge, which makes people feel that the whole world is still dark, and only the center of the picture is dark.
This little spot is bright.
"The photo is so beautiful." Li Zi said with emotion, "Why do I feel so excited?"
Chen Xing said: "Kobe Bryant once said something on social software. He said, do you know what it's like in Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning? Although I want to complain about this sentence, it does have an atmosphere of hard work. This is what I
My thoughts when I took this photo."
As for how others will interpret this work after it is sold, that is someone else’s business.
He really wanted to complain about this.
Because he might not have slept at four in the morning when he heard it.
Prady also felt that Chen Xing's photo was very good, and it was prettier than the photos she had seen before, and she couldn't believe that the beautiful woman in it was herself.
The two of them looked at each other carefully, and Chen Xing went to the refrigerator to get a drink.
Feida and Lizzie don't drink drinks. They all bought them from the supermarket before. If they don't finish them today, they will go back to Paris tomorrow, and they don't know when they will come to the farm next time.<
/p>
Sitting back on the sofa, he said: "Thank you for your cooperation in allowing me to take this photo. As a model, how about I give you five thousand euros?"
If you are a professional model, five thousand euros is not expensive.
It’s not uncommon for Chen Xing to earn tens of thousands of euros from one photo shoot. At Dior, Chen Xing also saw a new model who is relatively famous in France. He is Chinese and has the same surname as Chen Xing. It was also a commercial shoot.
Tens of thousands.
Dior mainly pays a lot of money. In fact, Chen Xing doesn't like the atmosphere in this company.
He still feels more comfortable working at Louis Vuitton and Chanel.
At least others respect him.
But for ordinary people, five thousand euros is a friendly price given by Chen Xing. Because this eldest sister has been working at Lizi’s family for ten years. From being deceived when she was young to working illegally in France to marrying a Frenchman and having children, her life is still the same.
Rather bitter.
Chen Xing doesn't show love indiscriminately, but Li Zi has always taken care of him, and the eldest sister is one of his own.
"It's too much," she said.
She just took a photo. She didn't care how much Chen Xing's photo could be sold, but her efforts were not worth the money Chen Xing paid.
She didn't do anything.
A month of milking here only costs 1,500 euros. How much milk does she have to milk for 5,000 yuan?
Li Zi helped to persuade: "Take it, don't feel any psychological burden, Chen will also make a lot of money from this photo."
Based on Seth's operational ability, this photo may be sold for 100,000 euros in these two months. It is also the favorite rural theme of northerners. Even if the French don't like it, he can still sell this photo.
Asian.
The market has opened, and his vision is no longer limited to France.
It is not very convenient to use the Internet for face-to-face transactions in France. When Chen Xing went to pick up the photos just now, he also took out five thousand euros. It seems that there are tens of thousands of Chinese coins here, but it doesn't look very thick.
Euros have banknotes of up to 500 yuan, but their circulation is not as great as 1200 yuan. Chen Xing’s stack is all 200 yuan.
When the matter was over, Chen Xing sent the photo to Seth via email.
Chen Xing: This is a photo I just took. I have already chosen the name. It is called "Female Milkmaid on the Farm." Please stop giving my works weird names. Let me
Get it yourself!
After a while, Seth sent Chen Xing an emoticon on WhatsApp.
Europeans and Americans didn’t use emoticons before, but this year Chinese emoticons suddenly became popular on Twitter. Since then, many people who like new things have started to use emoticons. Although the characters are in local characters, the expressions are still familiar.
Those few.
This is a kneeling violent emoticon, and the words above it are in French ‘Why are you so good!’
One expression can carry too many emotions, and the expression pack can be regarded as making a small contribution to China's cultural output.
Chen Xing didn't reply to him, so he went out and found Hedwig at Sunflower.
She was wearing a beige lace sunhat and a white skirt that Chen Xing took her shopping to buy yesterday. She looked very fairy-like. She was sitting in the field painting, but Chen Xing felt that only her scene could be considered a painting.
Otherwise, what’s the point of just this sea of flowers?
Chen Xing found an angle and took a photo of her before going up to meet her.
Only when you calm down can you appreciate the beauty of life.
I was too busy before, but the results were good. Several art exhibitions expanded the influence of Chen Xing's works among European critics. By the middle and later stages of the photography exhibition, he surpassed the islander in terms of reputation among professionals and audiences.
.
After such a period of rest, I will be busy again soon when I return to China.
But Chen Xing is also looking forward to this trip to China.
He planned to go to the legendary place outside the Great Wall by himself first.
This outside the Great Wall is not the current Western Xinjiang. Although Western Xinjiang is a little remote, vast and sparsely populated, it is a treasure province with abundant water resources. Chen Xing is referring to the ancient poem "Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not pass through the Yumen Pass"
Beyond the Great Wall.
There is a Hexi Corridor between Tibet, Western Xinjiang and the grasslands. The further you go down this road, the more unique you will see, which is different from the scenery of Tibet, Xinjiang and Mongolia.
In fact, it was only a few decades, less than a hundred years ago, that China's territory had to extend far beyond the Great Wall. Chen Xing thought that the scenery outside the Great Wall was probably the same as what it is now abroad, something like Stan.
He doesn’t know either.
There are relatively few travel notes about these places on the Internet. Most travelers still prefer to go to livelier places or even travel abroad.
Especially Loulan.
I heard that there is such a scenic spot, but Chen Xing searched all over the Internet and could not find any travel notes about the Loulan ruins. So when he went there this time, he not only wanted to find inspiration through the Dunhuang stone walls, but also found out why.
There are no travel notes about Loulan Scenic Area.
Is it because no one goes there, or there is no such a scenic spot in the first place?
With this thought in mind, the day soon came for him to book a flight.
Air tickets from France to Asia are very expensive. No wonder international students in Paris would rather travel to other European countries than go home. The money for a round trip is enough for them to live in France for a long time.
Hedwig's understanding of love seems to be different from that of many women Chen Xing knows. She does not think that two people must be together for a long time if they fall in love. After all, Chen Xing has her own affairs, and she also needs to calm down before she can paint.<
/p>
As long as Chen Xing likes her and doesn't abandon her, Hedwig won't have too many separation emotions.
Of course, I feel a little bit reluctant to give up.
Then draw more, she thought.
Chen Xing took a taxi to the airport. Today's ticket was something he had waited a long time to buy. It was a direct flight between China and France that flew directly to Chengdu International Airport. The number of flights was so small that most people didn't even know about it.
Take a flight.
Chengdu has a rare dual airport in China. The purpose of building the second airport was to establish a deeper relationship with European countries. After all, the straight line between the two points is the shortest, and the most suitable place in China to build a direct airport is Chengdu. p>
But so far, this effect is not obvious, and there are still very few flights after several years.
Chen Xing started to check local guides on the plane, but in the end he sighed and canceled the mobile page.
Still haven’t found much news.
Loulan is really mysterious.
The reason for returning to Rongcheng is that Chen Xing has to go home. Summer has passed, and the temperature will drop immediately after autumn. Therefore, Chen Xing has to change the clothes in his package. He washes and puts away the summer clothes and puts them into winter clothes.
clothes.
It’s better to leave these processes to mom.
Chen Xing doesn't like washing clothes very much. Even though he wears clean clothes every day and looks shiny on the outside, who knows that he sometimes puts dirty clothes in his suitcase.
One of the reasons why he likes to stay in large hotels is because these hotels have laundry services.
