Kenji Moriyama does not have the photography talent of his father Daido Moriyama, but he comes from such a family and has been exposed to the works of top artists from various countries since childhood. His appreciation level is extremely high.
This is also the reason why he became the deputy director of the Kyoto Museum.
It is impossible to achieve such an achievement just by relying on the support of my parents.
And his appreciation for Chen Xing didn't just happen one day.
Artists from island countries seem to be too sensitive and reserved. Although Kenji Moriyama was born in an island country, he has never been fond of such works. When I was on a business trip in the UK last year, I happened to see Chen Xing’s photography exhibition, and my heart was filled with rich emotions in an instant.
hit.
Perhaps only photographers from a big country like China can express this kind of surging momentum, right?
Since then, he has paid close attention to Chen Xing, and Chen Xing has not let him down. Within a few months, he has become the most powerful newcomer in Asia, and the value of his works in the collection world has been rising steadily.
He knew that the model in front of him was just found by Chen Xing from passers-by, but judging from the performance at the scene, the model's performance was completely in line with Mr. Chen Xing's shooting style.
Mr. Chen Xing's eyes are really vicious.
Moriyama Kenji sighed a few times, took out his camera and recorded Chen Xing's shooting process.
The photographer squatted half-crouched to take the photo. The model's Chinese dress was blown by the wind, the cherry blossoms slowly fell, and in the distance was the old Renaissance-style Kyoto Museum that has closed...
This shooting location alone is a beautiful painting.
Kenji Moriyama thought to himself, if someone wants to make a documentary about Mr. Chen Xing in the future, they may have to ask me for photos.
The shooting process didn't last too long. The preparations were very thorough. It only took Chen Xing less than an hour to take the set of photos he needed.
After looking through the photos, he felt that there was no problem, so he said to Zheng Tao: "Do you want to go to a dinner party later?"
"Forget it, it doesn't seem appropriate for me to go."
She knew that the place where these men went would be a bar or something, even if it wasn't a famous custom shop in the island country. Why would he, a girl, join in the fun on such an occasion?
Although I do have a little desire to see more, people have to be content.
The traveling companions who had known each other for a day parted under the sunset. Zheng Tao left through the staff passage where they came in, and looked back before leaving.
She felt that even if she met any big stars in the future, she probably wouldn't meet anyone like Chen Xing, and Chen Xing's status abroad seemed to be more respected than the stars in her eyes.
Chen Xing was looking down at the camera, while his friend from France was watching with admiration. The old man in the museum was bent over, as if he was asking some puzzling question.
The cherry blossoms were falling under the setting sun, and she actually felt that the scene looked like a scene from an anime.
This year's cherry blossoms are so beautiful.
Seth nodded while looking at the photos, and said in an exclamatory tone: "Chen, I find that you can always do things that surprise me. Aren't we here to travel this time? You can actually take such works.
?”
I can’t say how high-quality it is, but it’s definitely above the standard.
Kenji Moriyama wants to reserve a work. Even if the museum does not want to continue collecting it, he will pay for a photo himself.
This was taken in my museum - he thought.
Seth and Kenji Moriyama definitely have something in common. Seth even wants to have an in-depth cooperation with Kenji Moriyama. Chen Xing has such a powerful fan in Asia and he didn't even know before.
Kenji Moriyama looked at his watch, called his assistant and said, "You can take them to a nightclub to celebrate. They have worked hard today."
"Hi!"
As for himself, of course he must fulfill his previous promise with Chen Xing.
Two cars were driving one behind the other.
There are three people on Chen Xing's side, himself, Seth, and the beautiful gallery manager brought by Seth, the one named Jane Eyre.
Kenji Moriyama also brought three friends, all of whom were older. One of them was similar in age to Seth, and Chen Xing had to call them uncle. However, these people were very polite, no matter what they said.
After today's tour, Chen Xing discovered that as long as foreigners are respected by them, they should have a happy life in the island country. After all, few people hate being flattered.
Of course, there are exceptions to the bad photography.
Chen Xing and Seth sat together, and they chatted about the "Kyoto specialties" they knew.
"Custom shop! It must be." Chen Xing whispered, but said firmly.
"No, it's a geisha. I searched on the Internet when I came here. The geisha in Kyoto are the most unique thing here. Moriyama will definitely introduce their most unique tradition to us."
"Hey," Chen Xing clicked his tongue, "I saw a parade of geishas this morning. They were so ugly."
"I feel okay?"
Seth thought it was interesting to have his face painted all white. He had seen Chinese operas, and wouldn’t the performers there also paint their faces?
Jane Eyre looked out the window with a look of contempt.
I have never thought that elegant French can be spoken in such a conspiratorial tone. What kind of custom shop do you want to go to... What is a custom shop? Is it a brothel in an island country?
Everyone has their own thoughts, but they are all looking forward to it.
But this expectation soon came to nothing, whether it was Chen Xing or Seth, because the destination was not a custom shop, a nightclub, or an izakaya, but a temple.
Although it is dark, the island country is also a city that never sleeps. The sign of Qingliang Temple is very conspicuous under the bright lights.
But what is more colorful is not the temple, but the lights shining on the temple.
A huge light truck.
This light car is still driving slowly on the street. There are as many tourists here as the parade that Chen Xing saw in the morning. In the past few days, Kyoto is really full of activities. It seems that a quarter of tourism resources have been put here.
It seems like a few days.
Chen Xing and the others arrived not too late. The huge light truck had just passed the first one, followed by at least seven or eight others.
Look carefully, these slowly moving light trucks are not driven by oil or electricity, but are pushed hard by a group of big men in white off-shoulder clothes. Six strong men are in charge of pulling the steering wheel in front, and a dozen strong men are in charge of pulling the steering wheel.
Then bury your head behind the car and exert your strength.
There were even a few children pulling a big rope in front of them. This was probably just a formality. The real force was the group of adults under the light car.
And there are people on the car. On these seven or eight meter high light cars, standing on each floor, are some people dressed in colorful clothes. They wear masks and perform hard like dancing giants.
The mask also glows, which looks very eye-catching.
"Float?"
Floats can be seen all over the world, but there are very few events that are held at night.
