Zheng Tao happily took pictures of cherry blossoms in this yard with her mobile phone. If she hadn't been unfamiliar with Chen Xing, she would probably have asked Chen Xing to take a few photos for her.
She didn't know exactly how much the photos taken by Chen Xing could be sold for, but she guessed that it was definitely a number that would make her heartache, so she just turned the idea around in her mind and threw it away.
If you think about it, taking selfies is pretty good too.
But I still can't help but wonder what kind of picture Chen Xing can take of himself.
She turned back curiously to see what Chen Xing was doing at the moment, and her eyes met.
Wow! This, this, this!
Zheng Tao lost half of her admiration for Chen Xing in her heart. This look! Why does this look look like those scumbags? A star as big as Chen Xing wouldn't want to date me, would he?
If it weren't for Chen Xing's handsome appearance, Zheng Tao's face might have turned cold on the spot.
"Brother Chen? I have a boyfriend."
Chen Xing withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, a little puzzled, and asked: "Why did you say you have a boyfriend now?"
"It's impossible for us..."
"..."
Recalling his performance just now, Chen Xing was speechless.
"It's not that I like you just because I'm staring at you. I just think the scenery here is very beautiful. The clothes you wear are suitable and you look very beautiful. I just want you to be my model."
"Ah?" Zheng Tao's voice was drawn out.
Chen Xing suddenly laughed and said, "Are you very sensitive to other people's eyes?"
"It's not...ah, I'm sorry, hahaha." Zheng Tao used a smile to cover up her embarrassment. Just now, she only thought that Chen Xing's eyes were very hot, but she didn't expect that it was the eyes of a photographer looking at a model.
Chen Xing held the camera and said, "How about giving it a try?"
"Okay, haha."
Zheng Tao still felt embarrassed, and habitually used an optimistic attitude to cover it up.
But the photos taken in this way did not have the feeling of Chinese beauty in Chen Xing's mind. He wanted to take a group of Daiyu funeral flowers, but what he got was always Shi Xiangyun visiting the garden, and the style was completely wrong.
This won't work.
Chen Xing was a little embarrassed. If he didn't find a way to clear up the misunderstanding just now, he probably wouldn't be able to take pictures of the quiet beauty under the cherry blossoms.
While he was struggling, he saw Seth walking over with a small group of people.
"Xing, I'm still wondering if you haven't arrived yet."
He came over and hugged Chen Xing, and then introduced the people who came with him: "This gentleman is Mr. Kenji Moriyama, the deputy director of the Kyoto Museum, and his father is Daido Moriyama."
Chen Xing was in awe and shook hands with Kenji Moriyama solemnly.
Daido Moriyama is an internationally renowned photography master. He was already a legend in the photography industry in the 1960s and is an absolute senior.
Chen Xing also exhibited some street black and white style works this time. The founder of this style is Daido Moriyama.
However, Moriyama Kenji's attitude was more respectful than Chen Xing's, and he immediately bowed to him after shaking hands.
"I didn't know you were creating here before, so I didn't receive you well. Please forgive me. We will clear away the tourists immediately."
Chen Xing was shocked and cleared away the tourists?
"Ah, don't, don't, don't," he stopped quickly.
There are too many people here, and there are too few here. After these people leave, word spreads that Chen Xing has to clear the place even if he takes a picture of cherry blossoms, and is acting like a big star. Who will pay for the reputational fees he loses?
Zheng Tao also touched her head and giggled.
It’s over, this girl turns out to have this kind of character.
It was impossible to photograph Daiyu’s funeral.
When Moriyama Kenji saw Chen Xing rejecting the offer so quickly, he immediately bowed slightly and said, "Yes, I understand."
What do you understand?
Chen Xing was really confused. He had never met anyone like this when traveling in the island country in the past few days. Everyone was normal, but why did Director Moriyama look like someone from some Japanese dramas?
After briefly getting to know the people in the museum, Chen Xing called Zheng Tao over and said, "Her name is Zheng Tao. She is a model I just found. She is here with me today."
Although Moriyama Kenji looks like a traditional young man, his English is very good. After hearing this, he smiled and said: "As expected of Mr. Chen Xing, even the model I found temporarily is so beautiful."
"..."
This person looks like a fan of mine?
Chen Xing was a little panicked.
Does your father know that you praise me so much?
He has a photo album of Daido Moriyama at home, and he takes it out to read when he has nothing to do. This also led to him taking a lot of black and white photos in his hometown during the Chinese New Year.
I didn’t expect that for such a great photographer, my son would pursue other people’s work.
It's not easy to take pictures now. The light isn't very good anyway. Chen Xing and Zheng Tao discussed it and decided to come here to take some pictures in the afternoon. Chen Xing felt that the relationship between him and Zheng Tao would be more harmonious by then, and the photos would look better.
More natural.
Kenji Moriyama had introduced Seth while walking before, but now that he met Chen Xing, the main character accompanying him naturally became Chen Xing.
Leaving this road lined with cherry blossoms, there is a circular fountain in front of you. Various golden humanoid statues are standing or standing in different postures in the fountain.
Kenji Moriyama pointed to the building opposite and said: "The modern building over there is the Heisei Chishinkan. The designer is Mr. Yoshio Taniguchi. He once built the Museum of Modern Art in New York and is a well-known architect in the island country."
Chen Xing didn't know this person, but he still nodded slightly when he saw the building.
Good-looking is the first element of good design in his opinion.
This building looks similar to many modern art museums from a distance, but if you look closely, you will find many detailed designs found in Japanese-style houses.
For example, among the traditional architecture of the island country, there is a design called the edge, which is a corridor with a roof extending outwards from the house to the garden.
Japanese designer Kisho Kurokawa defines "edge side" as a "grey" space. Its biggest feature is that it does not separate the inner and outer spaces, and at the same time it does not exist completely independently from the inside and outside.
Many film and television dramas from island countries have extensive descriptions of this corridor.
The designer integrated this edge into this huge building, giving it a sense of life.
Seth couldn't understand these things, he just thought they looked good: "Design is really a magical thing. It makes many things we are used to seeing so attractive."
Kenji Moriyama was also very proud when he heard Seth's words. He smiled and pointed them to look at an old house in the distance:
"This is the new building, and the old building over there is also called the Meiji Kyoto Kwan. Now, in order to accommodate the works of photographers, most of the Meiji Kyoto Kwan collections have been moved to the new building."
The Heisei Chishin Museum looks like a modern art style, while the Meiji Ancient Capital Museum is exactly like what Chen Xing saw when he saw the museum gate just now... a completely French-style building, although the designer also has some careful thoughts, but how can I put it?
, Chen Xing has seen too many similar buildings like this.
"The Meiji Ancient Capital Museum currently displays the works of 24 photographers from this art festival. Mr. Chen Xing's works are in a separate exhibition hall at the back. Shall we go there now?"
