Chapter 320 Make it bigger and stronger, and create another glories
Seth was a little excited today and took Chen Xing to review the topics they talked about before.
Just say it in one sentence.
Be bigger and stronger and create greater glory!
Chen Xing didn’t take his first masterpiece until the second half of this year, and now he has two of them all at once.
Among them, the work named "Setting Sun" by Chen Xing is of the same origin as the previous series of photos, which also means that there is no need to worry about selling. "Drawing on Stars and Moon" is not an artistic photo style, and European rich people may not buy it.
But it is this kind of work that can really spread widely.
Even if Chen Xing never produces any more works in the future and plans to buy a piece of land for retirement. After a few hundred years, everyone will almost forget Chen Xing, but this photo may still be circulated in some places and even appear in textbooks.
Up.
The spirit contained in the work is the most valuable thing about this work.
Chen Xing also agreed with what he said, and after he finished rambling, he said: "You can sell the Loulan one, and I will display it as you said. You may not have other uses for me in the future."
Many humanistic works are for public welfare. Maybe Chen Xing will donate this photo in the future.
Of course it is great to take an artistic photo that is liked by others, but taking this kind of humanistic work is the deepest dream of every photographer. Just like many people who write online articles always hope that their works will be adapted into film and television dramas

Putting down his mobile phone, Chen Xing had already arrived at the bus station in Qiang County.
He wants to buy a ticket here to go to the train station in Bazhou.
There were a few people looking at him curiously. Chen Xing gave them a friendly smile before going to the window and buying a ticket.
There are almost no foreigners in Qiang County, and naturally you can't hear foreign languages. Chen Xing has been on the phone for so long at the station, and the children waiting for the bus will naturally come over and look at him curiously... Even if they say nothing
I can’t even understand.
Xijiang is a place with good everything, good scenery, moderate consumption, and plenty of delicious food.
But the road is too far.
It takes several hours to drive from one county to another, and even further when crossing a city. You may have to find a place to stay for one night in the middle.
It's such a troublesome thing in the 21st century. You can imagine how inconvenient the transportation here was before there were cars. When Ban Chao set his sights on the Western Regions, he probably wouldn't have to spend much effort to fight. The biggest problem must be on the road.
………………
There are many scenic spots in this part of the ancient Western Regions. Let’s not talk about the Loulan ruins, which have closed tourist channels. There are almost no foreign tourists in Qiang County. Chen Xing stayed there for a few days, and most of the people he saw were locals. Dunhuang is different.
As soon as Chen Xing got off the bus, he felt the difference between Dunhuang and Bazhou. People with foreign accents were walking around Chen Xing, carrying bags and hats. Eighty percent of them were tourists. p>
The facilities in tourist-related cities and stations are definitely very good.
But Chen Xing really didn’t expect that the station in a county-level city is so much more beautiful than the urban area of Bazhou.
A county-level city has the name of a city, but it is actually a county. It also manages small towns and villages. The difference is only in the support provided by the province, or for some reasons that are hard to explain.
For example, does anyone know what city Dunhuang is in?
Jiuquan.
Everyone across the country knows about Dunhuang, but when it comes to Jiuquan, people only know that this is a place where satellites are launched.
Chen Xing also wears a hat like other tourists.
On the one hand, the weather is hot, but more importantly, the environment here is relatively dry, and there is a lot of wind and sand. Wearing a hat and a mask can effectively prevent wind and sand. Otherwise, if you are not a foreigner, your hair will be tangled after walking around here.
.
Chen Xing has been very lucky during this period, and the weather is good wherever he goes.
But after arriving in Dunhuang, his luck was a little worse. He encountered a sandy weather and it was a little late. He didn't want to go to the Mogao Grottoes now and went to the Dunhuang Museum first. p>
He didn't like visiting museums very much before and found them boring.
But when I have nothing to do in Paris, because many museums are free for students, I can go and see the exhibits after school to improve my aesthetic level, and gradually I can also find some fun in looking at antiquities.
After all, Chen Xing likes ancient architecture, which is also a reflection of the aesthetics of the ancients.
The color of the exterior of the Dunhuang Museum is consistent with the overall color of the Western Regions. It looks rustic, but if you look closely, it is a kind of historical accumulation.
The museums in every city are designed by the best designers at home and abroad. The designers will design the appearance of the museum specifically for the characteristics of a place. No one says that they can just find a construction team and build a museum.
.
This is impossible.
Even if this kind of building is built, people will complain about it because it has no characteristics.
Most of the exhibits in the Dunhuang Museum are related to the Mogao Grottoes, and there is even a one-to-one prototype of the Mogao Grottoes. Chen Xing went in to take a look, and he is even more looking forward to his trip to the Mogao Grottoes tomorrow.
Some of the murals look a bit like children's graffiti, but looking at the age, the Xia Dynasty hadn't even appeared at that time, right?
There were many people gathered around a place with a painting that looked like a dinosaur. Everyone was discussing whether the painting was a dinosaur or not. The discussion continued until a guide came over with several tourists who had paid for the guide service, and everyone closed their eyes.
Be prepared to listen to what others have to say.
Chen Xing did not find a commentator, but rented a commentator to watch by himself.
The exhibits in the museum have a number. After you enter that number, someone else's recorded explanation of the exhibits will be transmitted to the earphones. It is also very convenient, but it lacks some interactivity.
Now that AI is becoming more and more developed, in the future when visiting museums, everyone will have an AI explaining it. It is estimated that more people will come to the museum.
You don’t need to know the story of the scenery when going to external attractions, but no one tells the story of the cultural relics. If you look at it by yourself, it will be like looking at an ordinary porcelain bowl. This will definitely not experience the fun of visiting a museum.
The same goes for Chen Xing and others when they hold photography exhibitions. Photographers often explain the story of the photo shoot and their own ideas in the exhibition hall.
After walking out of the museum, Chen Xing saw that it was getting dark, so he searched on the Internet to see if there were any food streets nearby.
But as soon as I took out my phone, I was surrounded by several people.
Chen Xing was not in a hurry, because there were several young girls standing in front of him. Judging from their expressions, he knew that they were probably coming to contact him. However, Chen Xing had never seen this kind of attitude. It looked like a road robbery.
Similar.
He smiled experiencedly and asked: "Is something wrong?"
"Are you... Chen Xing?"
Chen Xing understood immediately. It turned out that they were not the ones trying to strike up a conversation, but some fans.
"Hiss!" He took off his hat and scratched his head, rearranged his hair and put on the hat again, and said in confusion:
"It's me, but can you recognize me like this?"
He wore a white baseball cap and a disposable mask, so that neither his hairstyle nor his face could be seen clearly. How did these people find me? It's really strange.
The girls became even more excited when they took off their hats.
Chen Xing had already confirmed his identity before he could speak.
"I recognize you! We know you are coming to Dunhuang. We have been walking around for the past two days to see if we can meet you. Many of them are waiting at the station. We think that you will definitely come to visit this museum when you come to Dunhuang, so
I’ve been trying my luck here.”
She was so happy that she jumped a few times.
"We really met! Great!"
Chen Xing also laughed a little, with a very down-to-earth smile, then looked at the time and asked: "I guess you haven't had dinner yet? You can find a place and I'll treat you to dinner. Thank you for your love." p>
"Really?"
A girl can't believe it.
Chen Xing is a big star, how can he be so nice? He also invites them to dinner?
"Really, how many people did you say were at the station?"
They all had to eat anyway, so he thought it didn’t matter if there were more people or less people, and it wouldn’t cost much.
Treating guests is a temporary decision.
The youngest of this group of girls seems to be about 15 years old, and most of them are middle school and high school students. It’s not easy to meet with me just for two days, so let’s satisfy their ideas.
It can also improve your affinity among fan groups.
"More than a dozen."
There were only twenty people in total. Chen Xing waved his hand: "Let's go together then. Do you want to find a place or should I find a place?"
This is not the first time for Chen Xing to have dinner with fans, but there are not so many people.
He stayed in Arles for a long time, and often had to find time to go to the arena to explain his works to people. With this kind of fixed job, it was easy to meet those Chinese tourists who came specifically for Chen Xing. p>
Chen Xing also invited these people to dinner.
The happy looks of these girls also relieved Chen Xing's stress. The fatigue of sitting in the car for such a long time today was gone.
They called a few fans who were still waiting at the station, and then, under Chen Xing's reminder, they told these people not to post on WeChat Moments or talk about it in the fan group.
Chen Xing can invite twenty people. He can find a better restaurant and book a large round table so that everyone can sit down and chat. But forget it for two hundred people. Chen Xing has not been born and not engaged, so he can invite a few hundred people.
What do you do when you eat? It’s not about eating.
They can't find a good restaurant.
Chen Xing browsed through Dianping, called several private restaurants, and finally found a private restaurant that had available seats. Although there was no big round table, there were three round tables in one room, which could seat twenty people.
It won’t be crowded.
These private dishes are always booked in advance, but if you make a few calls, you will always come across one or two restaurants that have been canceled due to various reasons.
"Wow, it's true!"
"You didn't lie to us?"
The girl who took a taxi from the station in a hurry couldn't walk as soon as she got off the bus. She stood on the roadside to confirm, and then ran to Chen Xing energetically to take a look. Chen Xing took off his hat and said, "It's me.
, stop looking, is there anyone else?"
"There are still a few people who haven't gotten a taxi, but they will be here soon! Ahhhh, I'm so happy!
"Hello, Brother Chen, my name is Wang Tingyu, and I am the manager of the fan group here in Dunhuang..."
"Thank you." Chen Xing said with a smile.
His male fans are basically in photography groups. Chen Xing only adds one or two to these groups. The fan groups with the largest number of people are all female fans, and they are also very manageable. This kind of group has more Chen Xing, but they are basically from Rongcheng.
group, and there is also a national group regardless of region.
Song Shulan is the leader of several large groups, and because she has a good relationship with Chen Xing, many people in other groups admire her, and she looks like a big fan.
This private restaurant is located on the third floor of a lively street. The boss personally comes to pick people up, otherwise Chen Xing would not be able to find the place.
The boss is also a chef and is less than fifty years old, but this store has been open for more than ten years.
The ranking on Bee Nest is very high.
You can basically ignore the foreign restaurant rankings of Bee Nest, but the domestic rankings are quite objective, and Chen Xing has not stepped on any thunder in this ranking.
Nowadays, a certain group is an app with the most food minefields. Go to the scenic spots to eat according to the ranking above. Put aside whether it is delicious or not. It is definitely more expensive. You can't find it yet because you don't know how.
Live in this place for a long time.
If you really want to stay for a long time, who will watch a certain group?
After living for a long time, you will find that there are many good and cheap places nearby.
The small room with three tables was buzzing with chatter. Chen Xing held his head with one hand and listened to their chat. When asked about himself, he nodded and answered in a friendly manner, but he suddenly thought of a question and asked:
"Have you talked to your parents?"
They are all very young girls. It’s almost night and they are brought to eat by themselves and they don’t go home. Shouldn’t their parents be worried to death?
He had forgotten this just now.
In the past, when he brought others to dinner, he was an adult. It didn't matter whether he went home or not. It was definitely different for female high school students.
"Ah! I forgot!"
"Me too!"
"My mother just called."
The room suddenly became noisy...I forgot about it.
Your idol wants to treat you to a meal. Who would remember home in this kind of mood?
"I...go!" Chen Xing slapped his forehead, wanting to say something dirty but he changed a word in the middle, but the meaning was almost the same.
"You should call now, otherwise they should worry."
The boss was cooking in the kitchen, and a waiter wearing a cheongsam stood straight at the door. Listening to what these people said, his view of Chen Xing changed slightly.
She had seen Chen Xing bring a group of girls to dinner before, and they were listening to some idols or something, so she thought Chen Xing was a little girl whose name she didn't know.
Because this man looks so handsome that he is not the kind of star that would be tolerated by nature.
There wasn't someone who went to jail because of fan affairs before. She thought Chen Xing was also this kind of person, and wanted to help these girls keep an eye on him and not be deceived.
Now I was relieved to hear that Chen Xing took the initiative to contact the parents of these girls.
She secretly smiled for a moment, then immediately returned to a professional smile, listening carefully to these chats... It was also the first time she saw a celebrity. Although she didn't know what kind of celebrity Chen Xing was, he must be famous to have so many fans. Photos?
Photographer?
It turned out to be a photographer. Can a photographer have so many fans now?
