Seth is very happy that Chen Xing will go to the island country’s photography exhibition.
To put it bluntly, people like Chen Xing rely on fame. Photographers do not maintain their value like painters. Once their fame declines, their works will be in disgrace. Therefore, he often advises Chen Xing to attend more photography festivals. It is best to go to more photography festivals.
Win more awards.
Now what Chen Xing can win is a grand prize at the French Winter Photography Festival and a Newcomer Award at the Arles Photography Festival.
Although they are all very powerful awards in the photography circle, the number is indeed a bit small.
Chen Xing felt that this matter was not that easy to handle. He might have to go to Qatar in person to meet the rich man and give him two works. But the next day, Chen Xing was expecting a huge piece of good news... The rich man
Chen Xing readily agreed to Chen Xing's request without raising any requirements.
This made Chen Xing thank him repeatedly on the phone.
"Thanks to Brother Ahmed for his help this time, otherwise I really don't know what to do. There really aren't any good works recently."
"It doesn't matter, Chen. The woman in the photo is very beautiful. Although it was taken in your country, her clothes and demeanor have the characteristics of our nation. You can put her in more photography festivals for exhibition, I
very happy……"
Dunhuang culture is a miracle all over the world.
The characteristics of the four ancient civilizations are all blended here, and these four civilizations have evolved into the entire world today. This is definitely an important subject for Chinese photographers to go out of the country, but except for Chen Xing, no photographer has
The flowers were photographed here.
I guess I didn't even notice it.
Once he agreed, Chen Xing felt relaxed. All he had to do was bring his luggage and meet Seth on the island country.
I originally wanted to bring Bai Yuzhu with me. This girl is Chen Xing's apprentice and is completely different from the photographers who were recruited into the studio. But this art festival came two months early, and now Bai Yuzhu is a pure newcomer.
It's no use passing by.
So I stayed in Rongcheng and continued reading books.
You don’t have to read the in-depth introduction to photography articles, but you need to read the book on structure and several photo albums approved by Chen Xing, especially the photo albums. If you really want to develop in the direction of a photographer, then the photo albums should be read.
It's a bedtime book, you should read it whenever you have nothing to do.
This is an important way to cultivate your aesthetic and photographic eyes.
Bai Yuzhu was born with an eye for photography and knew the best places to shoot, but her aesthetics still had to be cultivated.
This year's Kyoto International Art Festival will be officially held on April 22nd. Chen Xing will be there on the 16th, and Seth will have to come in a few more days. As a gallery manager, he has a lot of things to do. If another contracted photographer is involved,
He would only send his men to photography exhibitions in Asia.
Chen Xing still had to come in person.
This is the first brother of Perenna Gallery. Even the owner of the gallery is a fan of Chen Xing. Who dares to despise him?
At least he didn't dare.
Chen Xing, who came early, also wanted to go around the island country alone. His works had already been handed over to the organizing committee. The venue for the exhibition was discussed between the organizing committee and the gallery. Chen Xing had nothing to do, so he just took this opportunity to come to the island country.
Check out some of the scenic spots he wants to visit.
Many people’s impression of the island country is Mount Fuji.
After all, everyone always wishes for Mount Fuji to erupt.
But as a literary young man, Chen Xing actually wanted to go to Nara, which is full of deer, and the town of Itomori in "Your Name"... It's not that he has to see this town, but Chen Xing likes the characters in the anime very much.
A description of this small town.
'There is neither a bookstore nor a dentist in this town. The tram runs every two hours and the bus runs twice a day. The weather forecast will not mention it. Search satellite images on the map and it will be a mosaic. The convenience store closes at nine o'clock, but there is something for sale.
A merchant of vegetable seeds and agricultural tools. There is neither McDonald's nor Mos Burger, but two taverns, no employment opportunities, and no girls to marry...'
If you think about it, this description applies to most small towns in the world.
But it is this kind of small town that has human touch and beautiful scenery that are not found in big cities.
Isn’t the purpose of traveling abroad to see these different kinds of human touch? Otherwise, the vast land of China is enough to satisfy 90% of a person’s imagination about travel. There is no need to leave China and set foot on one country after another in different languages.
.
There are also traditional shrines.
He has no interest in the shrine, but is very interested in the shrine maiden inside.

April 17
River Valley Town.
This is the northeastern region of the island country. The population in this area is relatively small. Those who often visit the station may have heard of Iwate Prefecture. This town is within the scope of Iwate Prefecture. Moreover, the administrative division of the island country is very interesting. His A county is larger than a city and is a first-level administrative region, equivalent to a province in my country.
Chen Xing came here carrying a travel bag and a camera.
There are no high-rise buildings. They are all one- or two-story houses. They are a bit like the countryside in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The roads are not wide, but they are clean and complete. The sanitary conditions are much better than in Tokyo. Chen Xing has not seen anything along the way.
What rubbish.
Of course, there are no pedestrians.
Occasionally, one or two old people would pass by on bicycles. This little movement attracted Chen Xing to pick up his camera and take two photos.
Where are people?
Do islanders also go out to work?
The scenes around here are still those that are commonly seen in island country anime, but after losing the filter, I always feel that something is weird.
Feeling hungry, Chen Xing walked into a restaurant with a sign that said roasted pork and a black cow doll. Chen Xing knew that Hida Beef was a brand of Wagyu beef. In France, some restaurants would introduce this to customers.
Breeding Wagyu beef.
The boss is in his thirties, and he was sitting outside the store playing with his mobile phone before Chen Xing came over.
"Hello." Chen Xing said.
"You too, guest, want to eat barbecue?"
Chen Xing sounded a little strenuous and said, "I'm sorry, my Japanese is not good. Can you speak English?"
He only knows a little bit of the most commonly used Japanese. After all, he only studied it with others for one night, and he hasn't learned the longer sentences yet.
"Yes, guest, do you want to eat barbecue?"
"certainly."
There is no one in the store, but the decoration is very good. There are advertisements above the head, on the wall, and everywhere that can be advertised. Many of them have the black bull doll. What is written on them can only be guessed, but
I can also make a guess.
There is one good thing about traveling to an island country. As long as you know the words, you won't be so blinded in Europe.
Just like this store, the signboard has the Chinese characters for "roasted meat". It's always a good idea to go into a store like this when you're hungry.
The seats where the guests sit are divided into compartments. This compartment looks very narrow. At most two people can sit together in one compartment. The middle of the table is recessed a little, which is the stove used for barbecue. The farthest end
It's the bathroom. After you sit down, there is a drinks machine behind you by the window.
The boss wiped Chen Xing's seat with a rag, then put it on his shoulder and said, "Drinks are free, what do you want?"
When you come to a barbecue restaurant in the island country, of course you have to eat wagyu beef.
Chen Xing directly ordered a bunch of Hida beef, the store's main recommendation, and then chatted with the boss: "You seem to have very few young people here."
"Now? They're all in school. But it's true that there are very few. When they get a little older, they want to run to the big cities. Apart from the old people, the only people left behind are people like me who are reluctant to leave their hometown. Don't look at me like this now
, I also traveled to Tokyo when I was young... This is your beef."
Tender beef is placed on a square plate.
Eight points thin, two points fat... This cannot be said to be fat. The white lines are like snowflakes sticking to the beef, and it has been touched with a layer of bright oil. Just looking at it makes people appetite.
