Chapter 240: Live Arles Photo Festival
When he came to the ward with the food he brought to the two sisters, Chen Xing heard Ah Zi talking about a big star.
He pushed the door in, put the insulated box on the table, and asked, "Who are you talking about?" ”
"You, I didn't expect you to be very famous in China."
"When did a photographer become a star?" Chen Xing said with a smile and sat down on the bed.
"The food they cook is delicious, but it's also possible that I haven't eaten our country's food for a long time, there are filters, anyway, you eat it while it's hot." Ah Zi picked up the lunch box, handed the phone to Chen Xing, and said, "Look, we found this." "A live stream.
…………………… Arles, France. A female anchor wearing makeup is wearing a pink sunhat and holding a mobile phone on the live broadcast.
It is rumored that the more beautiful the anchor, the more they like to paint makeup, and those who look average like to paint makeup a little thicker during the live broadcast, and then use special effects to cover up their own shortcomings.
But outdoors, whether you look beautiful or not, you have to wear makeup. Unless you can guarantee that outdoor activities won't take away your carefully crafted alter self.
However, the anchor with the username Yin Yin is also very beautiful, and passers-by and fans often take pictures of her daily appearance, and this kind of travel anchor will have many fans to meet by chance.
She was travelling in France during this time and came here after learning that Arles had an international photography festival.
She is an outdoor anchor who specializes in traveling, and she uses her mobile phone to start live broadcasts while traveling to earn a little travel expenses.
"The sun is so big today, and Arles is much hotter than Paris. But this kind of heat is also for France, I went to Jiangcheng to meet a friend last month, and the temperature was really ...... A moment of silence for my friend and hope that this summer will pass sooner rather than later. "Yoon Yin performed very sadly.
But judging by how she dresses today, it's cute no matter what.
"Okay, the silence is over, I'm going to show you the festival, and I solemnly explain that my live broadcast was allowed by the Rencontres d'Arles International Photography Festival. If you happen to be here, you can bring your camera, but please don't take photos or videos in the exhibition hall, and we will respect the rights of artists. Shortly after she started broadcasting, she took her mobile phone all the way from the hotel to outside a booth at the Rencontres d'Arles.
"I don't need to say how important the Arles Photo Festival is among photographers, I said a lot during the live broadcast yesterday, in short, it is a grade of the four major film festivals, you can find it yourself on the Internet, the exhibition hall we came to today is in the Roman Amphitheater of Arles, which belongs to one of the main exhibition halls of this photography festival." Yoon Yin walked around so that fans could see her surroundings.
The Roman amphitheater is the most famous tourist attraction in this place, built in the first century AD and has two floors and can accommodate 20,000 spectators to watch gladiatorial fights, hunting and other performances here.
In modern times, however, bullfights, concerts, and theatrical performances are usually held here. 'France also has the Colosseum?'
It feels like this is more complete than Italy, is it renovated later? ''This kind of building can be renovated to keep the main body unchanged.
''It's not easy for this kind of building to stay until now, but it can still maintain its function, come in quickly, Yin Yin!
Yin Yin looked at the barrage for a while, and then said with a smile: "Thank you for liking Mr. Ma...... Eh, the rocket sent by the eldest brother, don't worry, we'll go in now. I'll have to find my invitation, or I won't be able to stream it live. ”
"Find it!" She held up a ticket in her hand, and this action caused some barrage of old critics.
The current era is an era of appearance, some people don't do anything, just chat with people in front of the camera can have countless fans.
If you join an entertainment company and still do nothing, let the capital help you operate, you can also make countless money and attract countless fans.
She handed the invitation to a staff member standing at the door in exchange for a work card that hung around her neck.
Recalling her homework yesterday, she said: "The importance of this exhibition hall can be ranked among the top three in this festival, although it does not exhibit the works of famous masters, but it also selects the most beautiful part of the countless works sent from all over the world. ”
"If you want to see the master's work, please move to the main venue."
"As for why I'm here, it's very simple, because it's a place where we have exhibited works from photographers from our country." She explained to her fans the rules of this year's festival and explained that only two photographers will participate in the festival this year.
One of them was also an award-winning photographer at the 'China Arles Photo Festival' held in China last year.
Such photographers also have the opportunity to exhibit here, but at a lower level than the normal selection of works.
Therefore, to be serious, only Chen Xing passed the selection this year. In the open-air square, carpets have been used to divide the sections of the road where visitors walk, and the works are placed in the gaps in the red carpet, some are erected, and some are placed diagonally on the ground, so that the people who view the works have a better angle.
"Judging from the sign at the entrance, this year's theme should be "Homecoming", so we can see that many photographers have filmed their hometowns." She didn't rush to find the works of her compatriots, but just memorized the route and walked slowly, taking fans to admire the works of outstanding photographers from other countries along the way.
'The snow in Northern Europe is really beautiful. ''This forest is so beautiful, it fits my impression of the elven habitat perfectly.
''Good place, where is this?'' It's a distant view of a street, with no greenery, yellow facades, holes, and few pedestrians, all of which are bewildered by the photographer, whose subject is a giant graffiti on a building.
A pigeon holds a spear head in its beak, and the spear is split in half, the other half in the green earth.
Yin Yin approached the introduction and read: "This is Shular, a photographer from Libya, photographed his hometown city, wow, these holes are all shot out of guns, and they look like dangerous buildings." But according to the photographer, it was still full of people. "This photograph shows the brutality of war.
Along the way, she saw the works of many photographers, and photographers from all over the world tried their best to express their views on their hometown and show the best side.
Yin Yin finally made it to Asia. The majority of Asians are islanders, whose photographers have long been integrated into the Western system, and the Japanese style of photography has also had a great influence on the pattern of world photography.
Therefore, Europeans and Americans can easily accept photographers from island countries. And then there's the Korean system. The photography of the stick was learned from the island country, and if you look at the photography works of these two countries, many ordinary people can't tell the difference.
And then there are other countries. This time, there are a total of nine Asian countries participating in the exhibition, except for Japan and South Korea, other countries basically have only one group of works, but even among so many works, Chen Xing's group is still very high, which is enough to show that the organizing committee likes him.
When I first came over, the first work Yin Yin saw was taken by an island photographer. This photographer's warm colors are well used.
Yin Yin quickly skimmed through this group of works, and then saw the Chinese on the front introductory board - Chen Xing.
'Oh my God, I finally saw Chinese characters in your live stream today. ''Why are you so moved all of a sudden?''
The first ones are either English or some gibberish words, I can't understand them at all, and I finally saw our own people in this exhibition hall.
’
"It's not fair! Little Day...... How can a country with a good life be ahead of us? Yin Yin said: "This is ranked according to the international popularity and the organizing committee's love for the works, and the organizing committee thinks that the works taken by the photographers from the island countries in front are better, so they are placed in the first position in this area." She first went to see the introduction of Chen Xing at the photography festival.
Underneath the large black Chinese characters are several rows of dense English. [This is not the first time that Chen Xing, a young photographer from China, has participated in the festival, and he successfully won the Best Story Award at the French Winter Photography Festival last year with a 'climber'.
There should still be people who have the impression of him staying on the majestic snow-capped mountains, right? This time, he brought his latest works to the Arles Photo Festival, showing the traditions of the Chinese nation and the Chinese Miao villages with nine works.
The perfect combination of night scenes and lighting, as well as excellent photographic locations, give this work an extraordinary charm.
If our photography festival also has a story award, then we will definitely award the award to this young photographer] Yin Yin said: "Wow, what a high evaluation. "'I don't understand, what are you talking about?'
''What is the evaluation?'' She smiled, translated this text and read it out, and then said: "I also saw Chen Xing's work last year, showing the climbers who are struggling in the snowy mountains, and if you look closely, you can feel that there is also a fighting power in your heart, very good photographic works, and he himself is also a grandmother in the travel area, Yin Yin admires the existence." Taking a step further, Yin Yin stood at the front of the work.
Compared with the previous works of island people, although Chen Xing is only ranked second, judging from the people standing around, there are at least seven or eight people standing here who are admiring or studying Chen Xing's works, while there are only two or three people on the island photographer's side.
Chen Xing's work is leaning on the ground, at an angle of about 35 degrees, and the organizing committee probably wants to show the angle of Chen Xing's shooting.
The choice of composition is particularly important in this group of Chen Xing's works, and it is also one of the highlights of this group of works.
Night view, light ...... She quickly understood what was going on with the lighting in the introduction, and the night scene of Miao Village photographed by Chen Xing was so beautiful.
Although it is a night scene, the outline of those wooden buildings can be seen under the high sensitivity of the camera, and every household is lit up, and the color of the lamp is still very uniform, but where there is a household energy-saving lamp, the effect will not be as good as it is now.
'Where is this?' ''It should be a thousand Miao villages?'' I only went there in April. ''Who hasn't been to the same, how can this be a thousand Miao villages?''
"This is a village in southern Yunnan, Chen Xing's travelogue is written, if you are interested, you can search for "Thousands of Mirrors......''!
Isn't this a grand prize? "One thing to say, I've watched your live broadcast for a long time, and I think this photo is good, every time I look at it, I feel it in my heart, the moonlight is sprinkled all over the thousands of years, shining on the present and the past."
''Inspiration is here!'' I'm going to write a tune! ''Boss Chen's cheating! Is he there, please let him beep more!
He's been missing for a long time! "People are living well in their own fan base, and they went to Africa to play."
A large group of Chen Xing's fans suddenly poured out of the barrage, most of these people were not very interested in the photography festival, just Chen Xing's personal fans, and everyone knew that Chen Xing's latest works could be seen here in her.
As a fan, of course, I want to support idols, so I'm here. Yin Yin watched his popularity getting higher and higher, shocked and did not forget to thank Chen Xing in his heart.
"New friends, can you pay a little attention? I'm also a fan of Chen Xing, let's continue to look at the second work, tomorrow we can also visit the school where Chen Xing studied, Paris High Costume is also an internationally renowned art school, from here out of countless artists...... "ward, three heads together to watch the live broadcast.
Chen Xing is also very concerned about his work. He liked this group very much, and he has stayed since last year's shooting.
Seeing that the organizing committee prefers the works of photographers from island countries and ranks him first in Asia, Chen Xing is not very convinced, what country does not have forests?
His work is many times better than the forest of that island country in terms of concept. How could you put him first and be old with qualifications?
When he saw that more people chose to appreciate his works, and that serious expression could be seen clearly in the live broadcast, Chen Xing was relieved.
The placement of the work depends on the organizing committee, but most of the awards at the Rencontres d'Arles are closely related to the audience, and from this point of view, Chen Xing has a better chance of winning the award than anyone else in Asia.
He suddenly understood the organizing committee. After all, the aesthetics are different. It's not that their aesthetics are bad, it's mainly a matter of habit, the photography culture of island countries has been integrated into the international photography system for a long time, and the Chinese style is still a minority in Europe.
But Chen Xing's work has turned the niche into the masses. There is no standard for aesthetics, and my love is high-level. As long as there are enough people who like your works, even if you shoot vulgar subjects, you will have a sense of luxury, not to mention that Chen Xing's subjects are not bad at all.
Ah Zi saw the barrage that suddenly appeared in the live broadcast and said, "You have a lot of fans." ”
"It's all friends who like photography, they are very interested in my work, and they are very supportive of me, this feeling is quite good, hahaha......" During this time, there were more and more fans of the beep station, but this way of quickly increasing fans was not what he liked.
It's a bit Versailles to say, but that's really what he thinks. He wants fans who like his travel videos, or who like his photography.
Among the hundreds of thousands of fans later, most of them want to see his face in a video. For example, traveling to visit the store, or showing your face to tell travel stories.
The former fans were very quiet and Buddhist. It's noisy now, and the private messages from the beep station are never empty.
