Chen Xing actually wanted to praise them for how well they speak English. After all, praise is good for teaching, and everyone likes nice words.
But one person really thought about this problem.
"I think it's a problem with the movies. When we import British and American movies, they don't have dubbing or subtitles. If you watch such movies a few times, you will naturally speak English better."
"No subtitles?" Chen Xing asked doubtfully. "What if I can't understand if there are no subtitles?"
The man spread his hands and said, "Then don't watch."
"Jonah is right. If you didn't mention this problem, I really didn't realize that old British and American movies don't have subtitles. Tsk, although I don't watch their movies very much and they don't have much meaning, but I liked them very much when I was young.
Superhero, my English was already very good at that time."
"I think it's quite interesting." Someone else said.
In Europe, most countries are not optimistic about old and American movies and TV series, but Sweden is an exception. Young people here like to watch old and American movies, and even Chinese movies and TV series are rarely hindered from being broadcast in Sweden.
But this requires subtitles, otherwise Swedes will definitely not understand.
After chatting about movies for a long time and then about Chinese Kung Fu, two hours have passed. The lively atmosphere in the bar has lessened. After all, the football match is over. Most people gather together to drink and chat. Chen Xing and his small group also
Some people came over one after another.
After all, it’s rare to see Asians in this bar.
It’s interesting to hear Chen Xing talk about what China is like now.
I don’t know how I ended up in the League of Legends game in the end. After all, this year’s S-tournament is about to be held in Iceland, not far from here, and some people even bought tickets here.
"I have a total of six tickets, and there are three more. Do any of you want to go?"
"If I don't have time, it would be great to invite my family to go hiking and enjoy the scenery when I have time. I haven't played this game for many years."
“I don’t have that much time to see it.”
"What kind of ticket is it?" Chen Xing was a little moved.
"In the finals, although I don’t know who will play with whom, I hope to see g2 this year, but I think it will be very difficult even if they can reach the finals. On the contrary, your country’s e-sports strength is very strong, Chen, otherwise
Shall I give you a ticket? Do you play this game?"
"Let's play, I am the king of the Chinese server."
Everyone looked at Chen Xing at once.
There are about ten people in this group, the younger ones are less than 20 years old and look like high school students, and the oldest one is no more than 28 years old. League of Legends is a game that is impossible to skip in Northern Europe.
Multi-Tower 2 is completely incomparable, so you naturally know the value of the King.
Young people, if you say that your monthly income is tens of thousands of euros and you got an offer from a big company right after graduation, they will be envious and jealous.
But if you want to say that you play the game well and win the championship in League of Legends, then it will be more of an admiration.
In the end, I didn’t drink much, but I was bragging a lot.
Although what Chen Xing said is not false, he has tortured professional players by playing games, had close contact with leopards, climbed snow-capped mountains, traveled and written books...
For a twenty-year-old person, if he can do one of these things, he is already the center of attention, not to mention that Chen Xing has done it all.
Toward the early hours of the morning, a group of drunken people came out of the bar arm in arm. Nathan pulled Chen Xing and was about to walk towards his car, but Chen Xing, who suddenly woke up, grabbed him.
"Leave the car here, let's take the car back?"
"What are you afraid of? We have a driver!"
Chen Xing broke out in a cold sweat just now. He wondered if the Swedes were so big-hearted. They dared to drive after drinking all night. He took it back when he heard that he had a driver, and said with a silly smile:
"That's okay."
"Haha!"
"Chen, maybe Nathan is more afraid of drinking and driving than you are."
"Yes, you will go to jail if you are caught."
Chen Xing here in Northern Europe knows that it is difficult to get a driver's license, and it turns out that drunk driving can lead to jail time.
Increased knowledge.
The driver has been waiting in front of the car for a long time.
When he returned to the hotel, Chen Xing didn't even take a shower. He took off his clothes and went straight to bed. Although everything he drank today was beer, he drank it for several hours. The beer he drank was more than the water Chen Xing drank in a month.
More than that. If he can stay sober, it means that his drinking ability in the past two years has not been in vain.
He wouldn't have dared to drink so much when he was a student.
………………
Early morning, Fabre Museum, Montpellier, France.
Seth put the phone to his ear and frowned.
Didn’t I tell him not to turn off his phone when there was a work exhibition today? Why didn’t he answer the phone?
Oh, you don’t turn off the phone, but you don’t answer it, right?
He is very annoyed now, but he also knows that Chen Xing is not such a person, so he probably...he won't get out of bed to get angry, right?
He put down his cell phone and said to a group of people in front of him who were waiting to see Chen Xing:
"Maybe the photographer was busy with other things and didn't hear my call for the time being. After all, as you all know, it only took Chen Xing one month to collect the works needed for a photography exhibition during the competition. He was busy.
I'm scared when I see you getting up for work."
"It's okay~!"
"Artists are all like this, maybe they have discovered new inspiration."
"Okay, let's take a good look at Chen's new work."
Seth smiled and invited them into the museum. An exhibition hall of the Fabre Museum had been completely emptied last night. Only 28 works of Chen Xing were displayed in the more than 300 square meters of space. The giant poster at the door was covered with ink.
The stylized Chinese and French characters read - Dunhuang: A Story of Thousand Years of Love.
The original plan was for Chen Xing to make an online video with him, project it on the big screen, and let Chen Xing say a blessing or something.
This photography exhibition has cost so much money, and you don’t have enough photographers, so you have to create a video, right?
But who knows that the chain will fall off at the critical moment.
After all the people who were waiting to see Chen Xing entered the hall, Seth gritted his teeth and dialed Chen Xing's number again.
The miracle did not happen. There was still only a voice message on the phone indicating that the person did not answer the phone.
"Damn it!"
Seth cursed again.
Montpellier, this city is not as well-known as Paris, but it is by no means unknown. Its rise can actually refer to the appearance of the Chinese mountain city ten years ago and now. It is an idol city in the minds of young French people, and its permanent population continues to grow.
.
Today, the city here is ranked seventh in France, but it does not mean that it is ranked seventh in popularity.
Renting an exhibition hall in such a city's best museum is definitely not something you can do if you have money. What people value is Chen Xing's influence among young photography enthusiasts, hoping to attract more people to pay attention to their museum.
.
The result is great, you didn’t even answer the phone!
Seth walked into the exhibition hall muttering unhappy sentences such as giving Chen Xing a little color sooner or later, and young people not being sensible without being beaten, etc., and then he was faced with a glorious scene, which illuminated his face.
Although the exhibition hall is a rectangle in one space, the arrangement of light and shadow is not even.
There are more than 20 works with two themes. Although there is only one model, they are divided into day and night.
During the day, the light used on this side of the work is golden. This kind of light is often used during church services. It is a special light that simulates the reflection of gold on the decoration. At night, the light gradually becomes lower, but under the frame of the photographic work, or
There are long strip lights placed on it.
Under the illumination of the lamp, the models' clothes become more dazzling, and the starry sky becomes more profound and charming.
"This style has never been photographed by Chen Xing before!"
"No, this should be regarded as a variation of his Chinese style photography. The language of photography is still that thick. He is using photography to express the richness of Chinese culture."
"I must go to China once in my life. These pictures are so beautiful."
"A work! A work!"
Exhibitors wanted to come up and touch the models to see if their clothes were flat, but how could it be as they wished? All the photography works in the exhibition hall were arranged at a viewing distance, even if they were all 2.5 meters tall.
Even a giant can't reach the front photo.
Seth walked along and looked at the excited guests, and his dissatisfaction with Chen Xing gradually dissipated.
Maybe he really has something going on?
As the guest said, as an artist, there are always times when inspiration breaks out. You can’t blame Chen Xing for not answering the phone at such times.
"I almost disturbed his creation, what a sin, what a sin!" Seth still regretted a little.
You shouldn't have made so many phone calls.
A girl came over with a voice recorder. Seth thought about what happened and almost bumped into him. He quickly took two steps back and asked, "Who are you?"
"We are reporters from China News Service. My name is Ding Si. Why don't you see photographer Chen Xing here?"
"Ah, he, he encountered inspiration today and is busy. Do you have any questions?"
"Dunhuang art has witnessed the cultural integration of China and the West in history, and demonstrated the cultural diversity between the two states. We would like to do some interviews with him and you to present the value of Dunhuang culture to people at home and abroad.
Audience."
Seeing the serious look of this Chinese beauty wearing glasses, Seth suddenly stood up straight, wiped his hair and said, "He's not here, just ask me."
"Well, you are the gallery manager signed by Chen Xing. Do you know the value of Dunhuang culture?"
"Of course." Seth smiled.
He wanted to sell both sets of works at high prices. How could he not do the work well in advance? Otherwise, what would he do if the boss asked about it?
"Dunhuang culture is a treasure of the world, with a history of more than a thousand years. The blending of different cultures in Dunhuang has formed a colorful, rich and profound cultural crystallization..."
He spoke in an orderly manner, with rhyming and smooth sentences, as if he had memorized them.
But the beautiful reporter didn't pay attention to him.
Ding Si looked at Seth with an expression of listening attentively, but he was thinking why he didn't see Chen Xing? If he couldn't interview Chen Xing, he would definitely be scolded when he went back. Alas, he couldn't run all the way from Paris.
Come here specifically to see the photography exhibition...it seems good, too?
She used a voice recorder for the interview, recording the compliments or exclamations of other guests.
"Incredible, she is so beautiful!"
"Perfect works, perfect people, perfect scenery, perfect! So perfect!"
"Is this Chen Xing's Chinese style? Compared with the works of other modern photographers, his style is so outstanding. I really want to buy this photo..."
Listening to these voices, the corners of Ding Si's mouth gradually turned up.
She has been in France for a long time, and this is the first time she heard ordinary French audiences praise a Chinese person so much. No wonder outstanding artists like to develop in Europe. The artistic atmosphere here is indeed much stronger than at home.
.
…………
Sweden, Gothenburg.
Chen Xing got up from bed because he was thirsty, yawned and drank a glass of water.
The smell of alcohol on the bed was so strong that Chen Xing didn't even dare to smell the smell on himself. He quickly took a shower, briefly took care of his hair and walked out of the bathroom.
There is no need to look too handsome today. You have to take a car or a plane anyway, and no one will pick you up when you get off the plane. Why do you look so handsome?
Yes, Chen Xing is preparing to leave Sweden today.
His affairs here have basically been taken care of, and he can't get the camera now... If he had known that meeting was all about communication, he would have already used the Internet to communicate with Hasselblad's designers and engineers, and he came directly this time
Get the camera.
Hey, Swedes are really rigid.
Chen Xing was in a good mood today. When he came out, he was going to make a cup of coffee to refresh himself, but when he turned around, he saw that his cell phone on his bed was actually on.
The screen is not the standby screen, but shows missed calls.
The singing stopped immediately.
The entire hotel room was silent.
Finished!
Broken!
I have a photography exhibition today!
He still remembered this matter before, but after visiting Hasselblad, Chen Xing forgot about it, and then he completely forgot about it in the bar... There were people of the same age in the bar, as well as young foreign girls from Northern Europe, and they wanted to be with each other.
Why don't you have a drink?
Broken!
Chen Xing said something secretly.
I picked up the phone and saw seven or eight missed calls. One was from Nathan, who probably wanted to ask when he was going to the airport, and the others were from Seth.
Chen Xing feels like she was caught skipping classes and surfing the Internet when she was in school and was caught by her mother.
When he called anxiously, Chen Xing said softly: "Hello?"
But Chen Xing did not expect that Seth was not angry at all, and said very softly:
"Are you free? Just in time, I'll talk to the deputy director in a moment and see if I can connect to the screen outside so you can say a few words to everyone."
"Ah?"
"What's wrong? Isn't this what we planned? By the way, there is a reporter from your country who wants to interview you, but you are not here, so she interviews me. Don't worry, I have good things to say." p>
Chen Xing didn't know why Seth wasn't angry. Doesn't he usually pay great attention to these rules?
But I was a little curious about the reporter and asked: "What reporter, TV station?"
"China News Service or some other agency, I don't remember it, but the girl is pretty good-looking. By the way, did you go to take pictures before? I made many calls but you didn't answer."
"I, uh, yes, I was sweeping the streets. Oh, today is my last day in Sweden, and I still want to keep some memories. I didn't pay attention to my phone when I took the photo. Oh, look at this, it's me.
It’s not done right.”
"It doesn't matter, your work is important." Seth said softly.
This tone made Chen Xing very frightened.
But if Chen Xing knew what happened to him, he wouldn't think so.
In order to prevent any piece of this set of works from being exposed, a rich man from Qatar wants to buy all the works in this Dunhuang series - including those that cannot be exhibited today, but may be sold in the future.
