Chapter 330 The shooting of the first set of works is completed
The two of them were like dumb people, basically saying nothing.
It's also possible that Chen Xing and Tang Shiyi are relatively famous, so they don't dare to interrupt when they are chatting. They usually only reply after asking... But they work hard with the equipment and are obedient.
While eating, Chen Xing asked: "How about we go shopping around in the next two days to feel the atmosphere of Dunhuang first."
Tang Shiyi thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's okay, but you have to pay attention to the time. I only asked for three days' leave."
"You toured all over Europe and didn't let you rest for two days when you came back?"
"Yes, we all took a week off when we came back, but when did this happen? If you had come back a few days earlier, I could have taken you to visit the surrounding areas of Yanjing. The fun places in the capital are not limited to the city itself.
Ah."
The two of them chatted while eating, and the two of them just focused on eating.
Without the development of modern science and technology, Dunhuang would have remained unchanged for thousands of years. When you step out of the city and into the desert, you will have a feeling of going from a delicate world to a rough world.
Chen Xing and Tang Shiyi went to Mogao Grottoes. This time he also saw several caves that were completely different from before.
One of the grottoes also painted a banquet in a noble family at that time. The dancers on it were lifelike and graceful. Tang Shiyi wanted to experience the feeling of shooting in this work, so he looked at it very carefully. p>
They didn't leave the grotto until the tour guide started urging them.
Tang Shiyi thought about the clothes they brought over and asked: "The clothes you designed seem to have a different feel from the ones above. I can't express what it feels like."
Chen Xing roughly understood the meaning and said:
"Because our modern aesthetics are different from those in ancient times, this is what a friend of mine who studies Hanfu told me. Today's Hanfu is also made from the best of ancient costumes and modified, and it is not completely different from the real clothes of various dynasties.
Same."
Most people have no concept of the word Dunhuang. Maybe they can imagine what it is like before coming here. Then after visiting the Mogao Grottoes and the Dunhuang Museum, this concept will gradually become fuller and they will know... Oh,
Dunhuang culture is like this.
Then I forgot all the previous imagination about Dunhuang in my mind, and only remembered what I saw with my own eyes.
However, Chen Xing always remembered his original imagination, and combined with everything he saw in Dunhuang, he designed this set of beautiful and exotic clothes in the form of paintings. This is his talent as an artist. p>
The set of costumes he designed will make those who have never been to Dunhuang think at a glance, "If this is not Dunhuang style, I will say whatever you want!"
In addition to Mogao Grottoes, a must-visit place, there are also Yadan National Geopark, Yangguan, and the Great Wall of Han Dynasty.
The Great Wall of Han Dynasty is just to the west of Yumen Pass. The scenic spots are not far from each other. There is also a package ticket with Yumen Pass. Chen Xing didn't go because he had to catch a train in the afternoon. Now he brings Tang Shiyi here with him. He has enough time and plans to go there.
See what the Great Wall of Han Dynasty looked like.
I heard it is the most interesting section of the Han Great Wall that has been preserved. Chen Xing thinks it is similar to Badaling, right?
But after arriving, I realized that there were only a few broken walls left here, which were almost the same as the feeling that the ancient Loulan ruins gave Chen Xing. Only a few sections could tell that there was once a city wall here.
Listening to the tour guide's explanation and listening to some ancient music played in the scenic spots, I still have a sad feeling.
Chen Xing went up to take a look and found that the Great Wall of Han Dynasty was built purely from a mixture of soil and hay. The fact that this material can be preserved to this day is enough to show that ancient people had a profound study of architecture.
Scattered beacon towers can still be seen in the distance, but they are also just mounds of earth.
Tang Shiyi listened to the tour guide's explanation attentively. The hem of his clothes was constantly blown by the gritty wind. The same was true for Chen Xing. He even took off his hat.
His hair had grown longer after such a long period of growth, and when it was blown by the strong wind, it felt like he had returned to the battlefield of the ancient Western Regions for an instant, watching the alien cavalry in front of him charging towards the Great Wall.
I don’t know how long it took, but Chen Xing heard someone calling his name.
"Chen Xing? Chen Xing!"
Tang Shiyi pushed Chen Xing, then took the hat from his hand and put it on him, saying, "You want to be dried bacon? Let's go."
The tour guide is a man. When I saw the little interaction between the two, I felt that the scene matched well. The male tourist just stood in the wind and it really felt good. Unfortunately, the girl is also very beautiful and has a good figure. I am so jealous...<
/p>
The tour of the Great Wall of Han Dynasty does not need to be too long. Ten minutes is enough to listen to the explanation and take photos.
If it weren't for this pile of shabby loess walls, this scenic spot would be no different from the scenery anywhere in the desert. The main thing is to listen to the tour guide telling stories that have happened here for thousands of years.
Chen Xing took off his hat and straightened his hair again, then regained his energy and said:
"Let's go. Let's go to Mingsha Mountain where we will take pictures tomorrow. The wind there will blow the sand out from Crescent Moon Spring. Standing on the top of the sand dune is particularly artistic. We will go to Yadan Geopark in the evening to take pictures."
/p>
Whether it is Dunhuang or the Great Wall of Han Dynasty, as a background, it can only make people feel desolate, so it is better to go directly to Yadan National Geopark to take a few pictures when taking pictures in a place with only ruins.
First of all, there are few people here, so you don’t have to worry about anything strange in the camera. Secondly, what tourists can feel in places like Loulan and the Great Wall of Han Dynasty can also be felt in Yadan Park. p>
The desolation of the desert and the beauty of the Western Regions.
After all, the background is secondary, and the main subject is only Tang Shiyi.
"It's up to you." She nodded.
Tang Shiyi thought this trip was worth it even if she didn't take any good photos. He had never traveled alone with a handsome guy before, so it was a rare experience for her these past few days.
When going back, Tang Shiyi said: "When I stood at the Jade Gate closed, I really felt like I was talking about Journey to the West."
Chen Xing recalled the movie scenes and said: "Indeed, the art in the movie is also very good. The most suitable thing for the city wall in the Western Region is Hanfu. The costume of Fairy Zixia can especially attract the audience's attention. However, Sister Tang, you
More beautiful than her."
"Real or false?" Tang Shiyi stared at Chen Xing and asked.
She also loves to surf the Internet, and netizens have a lot of questions about her appearance. This is one of the reasons why she chose to start working behind the scenes at this age... If the audience likes someone and wants to work behind the scenes, she won't make much money yet. "Really, Sister Tang, you have to believe in the aesthetics of a professional photographer. You will know after tomorrow."
The next day.
No one went out in the morning, so she had a good rest. After lunch, Tang Shiyi changed into her clothes and also put on the huge silver necklace. This necklace covered her chest and went up to her neck, which made her face look fairy-like.
Fluttering.
But it’s not enough, you still have to put on makeup and eyebrows.
Chen Xing found a local makeup artist in Dunhuang and worked for four hours to complete the makeup. The hair alone took half the time. There are six floors similar to the rebound pipa statue in Dunhuang City, but with more decorations.
.
It looks like some gems from a distance.
Then charter a car to Mingsha Mountain.
Her dress needs to be blown by the wind to look good, but the makeup can't last that long. Chen Xing has to make good use of the hour and a half after she gets off the car, otherwise she will have to touch up her makeup again. This is a waste of time and will cause
It affected his shooting plan today.
The van carried five people. In addition to two assistants, Chen Xing and Tang Shiyi, there was also a young-looking female makeup artist.
The driver is also considered a guide, and the chartered car costs 800 a day. At this time, he kept looking at the rearview mirror.
This girl is so beautiful...
Tang Shiyi felt a little bored, pointed to the prop Pipa on the seat and said: "Can this be used normally?"
The driver immediately said: "Okay, although it is a bit fancy for the sake of taking pictures, and the quality is not as good as professional ones, but it can make a sound."
"Do you know how to do this?" Chen Xing asked.
"I haven't played for a long time. I learned a little from my teacher when I was in college."
Calculating the time, Chen Xingle said: "It's been ten years, right?"
Tang Shiyi's smile immediately faded and she glared at him.
Can I speak? Do I look that old?
Dangdang looked for the feel, and Tang Shiyi actually played a piece of music on the pipa. The melody was very nice, but it was indeed a bit unfamiliar. After playing for just over a minute, she took the initiative to put down the pipa and said:
"Forget it, I really forgot."
Chen Xing applauded as soon as she put down the instrument and said, "At least your fingers look beautiful when you play."
He still wants to take pictures.
He had planned today's shooting for so long that he didn't want to miss any detail. Before, he thought he could just hold it casually and pretend to play the pipa and take a few photos, but now he actually discovered that Tang Shiyi can play the pipa.
Not bad, not bad, an unexpected surprise.
They arrived at Mingsha Mountain at five o'clock. They did not enter the scenic area, but were outside the desert camp, where Brother Nikon went up to the sand dunes to take pictures late at night.
My brother is very good at finding locations. This place is great for taking pictures of the sky.
But what he was photographing was the starry sky, and what Chen Xing wanted to photograph here was the sunset.
The sunset and the desert are like coffee and milk. They blend just right. They are entangled with each other and can add points to each other. With Tang Shiyi as the subject of the portrait, the entire picture is completed.
After waiting in the car for about half an hour, Chen Xing felt that it was almost done and said, "Let's go out and take pictures."
Everyone got off the car one after another.
After Chen Xing touched the ground and it was not hot, he chuckled and said, "Sister Tang, why don't you take off your shoes and go up barefoot? I think your shoes are not good for climbing sand dunes, so it's better to go barefoot."
Tang Shiyi rolled her eyes at Chen Xing, but still took off her shoes.
Chen Xing looked at her snow-white jade feet and suddenly thought of something. He got in the car and took out a bell from his bag and said, "Put this on too?"
"I won't wear it. You have to stop wearing it, Chen Xing. Pretending to be anything in your mind will only harm you."
"..."
In the end, she didn't wear the bell and took off her shoes and walked up the sand dune. Chen Xing was a little disappointed but quickly followed. Others carried makeup cases and photographic equipment. Chen Xing was worried about Sister Tang.
If she falls, hold her hand and walk up.
The most relaxed thing is the driver, who doesn’t bring anything and just comes to join in the fun.
He could have blown the air conditioner in the car, but it was really strange what this group of people were doing, why so many people came just to take pictures? Is it a TV station? Or is this woman a celebrity?
It's a pity that I didn't hear her name, otherwise I could look it up online. She's really beautiful.
The wind in Mingsha Mountain is very strong every day. Tang Shiyi holds the pipa in his left hand, and his right hand is held by Chen Xing as he walks up. The cloud sleeves fly straight to the sky. The material of the sleeves is too soft and is completely unforced. The tassels on the skirt are also
Being blown away.
Although he knew that underneath the skirt were cropped trousers made of the same material, Chen Xing still thought of Monroe's classic pose and was a little distracted.
It took some effort to get up this mountain.
Climbing high and looking far away, people on the ground can't see too far even if they are in an endless desert. But it's different when you climb a sand dune tens of meters high. You can see more sand dunes stretching until the sun
The place where mountains fall.
After Chen Xing came up, he paid attention to the clouds.
If the clouds are not good, the beauty of the sunset will be a little less. The clouds today can only be said to be adequate. The sky is high and the clouds are high and the blue sky has a vast feeling. It is not the most perfect fire cloud, but the impact is not big.<
/p>
With your back to the setting sun, you need to turn on a light.
This is not the first time that Chen Xing has used a photography assistant. When he used to take business photos for people in France, those fashion companies had their own studios. It’s just that this is indeed the first time for him to be outdoors. The required light intensity is different. One person can hold it
The lamp is a bit heavy and shakes a bit when blown by the wind.
Another person was holding a large diffuser and squatting in front of Tang Shiyi.
Do I need to turn on lights when taking pictures of sunset scenes?
Some people will say no, using people as the metering point can definitely capture people clearly, and at the same time, the sunset sky will not lose any details, and it can be adjusted casually in post-production.
But as long as you have gone out to take this kind of photos, you will know that when taking photos with your back to the sunset, the characters themselves will be very dark.
Why else would so many people take silhouettes?
And even if it is bright, the color temperature is very low, and the characters are overall warmer. No matter what camera you use to take pictures of girls under this color temperature, most people will look as dark as niggas.
I’m really not afraid of being scolded!
It's different when the light is on. The details of the characters themselves, such as the flying cloud sleeves, the tassels on the skirts, etc., can show their proper colors under the light, especially the exposed faces of the characters.
The shoulders will be so bright.
This is the kind of immortality and divinity that Chen Xing wants.
"Okay, the light is just right, control your expression, let's start shooting!"
Tang Shiyi instantly entered the mode of a professional actor. Her smile was different from what Chen Xing usually saw. Of course, it was not the fake smile of the service industry, but... a sense of alienation?
"Beautiful! Sister Tang, you have mastered this character. Let's take a few more pictures, and then we can take some silhouettes with the pipa..."
Time is tight, I have to go to Yadan Geopark to take pictures of the night scene soon, everyone is very busy.
