'What? Xingbao went to Africa to make a documentary? ’

'Haha, the little lion is so cute, the world is focused on you. ’

'Upstairs, the eyes are useless and can be donated to those in need. ’

Chen Xing's traffic is much better now than before, with 1.22 million followers of Station B, so that no matter when he releases a video at any time, countless people will click in, and then fill the video with a barrage in a short period of time.

In fact, it is not a question of the number of fans, but the stickiness of fans.

It's hard for anyone who has followed Chen Xing not to like this approachable, humorous, and very handsome boy.

It's just that it's a bit difficult to make money at the beep station, and it is far inferior to YouTube's income of 400,000 followers without receiving advertisements randomly, otherwise Chen Xing can lie flat and post videos while traveling, without having to look for a job.

It's a pity.

Although he is in Africa, he has already taken over several French photography business, and he will start to get busy when he returns.

Chen Xing played with his mobile phone late at night this night.

After a while, I went to see the comments of netizens, and then chatted about African things in the fan group, and overall they were looking forward to this documentary, and the composition of the scene where Chen Xing grabbed the little leopard was really beautiful.

And then, like an action camera, the footage of following the lions participating in the hunt is also very innovative.

However, after the video is filmed, Chen Xing should not cut the shots related to himself into the feature film, this is just a tidbit to share with netizens.

The next day, after filming and returning to the hotel, Chen Xing translated the video he cut into English and sent it to YouTube.

Hey? Why did it rise by tens of thousands of fans?

After flipping through the message for a while, I realized that Henry sent a video yesterday, and then the fans who came to pay attention today were all from there, and there were a lot of words of thanks in the message.

They had followed each other before, and Chen Xing went to find their account.

The latest video was updated yesterday, and as soon as it was opened, it was Henry's face.

"Hello, friends, yesterday we were passing by and saw a huge rocky mountain, which felt like it would be very suitable for climbing, so we wanted to go over and see it today, we were going to bring a professional camera and a telephoto lens that specializes in shooting far away, this thing is very heavy, but we can't wait to challenge ourselves."

Then Vegi also appeared.

Chen Xing had only seen them when they were embarrassed, their hair was messy, and there were marks of scratches on their bodies. But Beji, who had not yet encountered any danger, was very beautiful and looked at least five years younger than he had been.

And then there's the process of their climbing.

It can be seen that the preparation is still very sufficient, the difference between unprotected unprotected unarmed climbing and protected climbing is too great, one is an extreme sport, and if you are not careful, you will have to lose your life, just like those who play wingsuit flying.

The other one, if your ability allows, is purely a workout that can make your heart beat faster for a while at the moment of your mistake.

Then the herd of baboons slowly arrived.

Chen Xing hasn't watched this part yet, so when he watched the video, he listened to the music they matched, and he began to get nervous, and more and more baboons were simply villains.

Clip and speed up.

The technique they use can make the audience feel the passage of time in a short period of time, and there are several times when Becky loses his strength and fails to grasp the rock, and then falls down and is pulled by the safety rope.

Chen Xing felt that watching their video was like watching a thriller.

Then the whistle of a car could be heard in the distance...... Chen Xing and they are here, that is, there is no barrage function on the YouTube pipe, otherwise the barrage will definitely crawl all over the screen at this time.

Wait for Chen Xing to save people and leave.

It wasn't long before the baboons gathered around again.

Henry slapped the glass and shouted outside, "Damn monkeys, do you have what it takes to get into this car?" You want to kill us? Do you know you're stupid monkeys? Have the ability to go it alone...... Falk ......"

A sturdy-looking baboon is holding a rock to smash glass.

Henry drove tremblingly.

It was as if his biceps were gone, and he didn't need any strength, but he started the car under the impetus of his survival instinct, and flew away after hitting two baboons that were blocking the way.

Chen Xing looked at the message.

The comment area is still very harmonious, and basically no one is talking for the group of baboons.

Sure enough, it's still too ugly.

Chen Xing has seen a lot of primates, such as monkeys, apes and so on, but he was still ugly when he saw this group of baboons before. If they look better, it is estimated that there will be more people who speak for them.

There are still many people in the message discussing the operation of catching leopards after Chen Xing, and many people think that this is a pose.

Henry's video is not silenced in this section, so anyone who watches their video knows that the leopard was only seen after jumping down, and shouted at Chen Xing to be careful, but Chen Xing's movements were earlier than their reminders.

Some call it a miracle.

Also.

As his own famous scene, it must be qualified...... Chen Xing thought to himself.

Others didn't understand how it was done, but Chen Xing pondered it.

Most of it is the defensive conditioning reflex that I got before, this skill will automatically activate when I am in danger, and perform some defensive actions within the scope of Chen Xing's ability.

But it must also be within the scope of what Chen Xing can do.

………………

The documentary was filmed over a four-day period, and Big Anne flew back the day it ended.

He took a leave of absence to stay in Africa, and now he rushes back and maybe he will be able to go to work tomorrow.

Lefbold will continue to stay here, he has enjoyed the pleasure of photographing predators on the steppe for the past few days, and the short four days are not enjoyable for him, and he told Chen Xing to wait until the beginning of the school year to report to Professor Nobel.

As for Ford.

Yesterday when they were filming, they met a Frenchman who opened an orphanage in Tanzania, which had more than 300 black orphans, and Ford admired this director very much, and wanted to volunteer here for a week, so he also wanted to stay.

Chen Xing was also invited to join him.

He has no interest in taking care of black children, how much money does he earn when he goes back to France for this time? Besides, if he wants to do good deeds, why not do it in China, and go to Africa to volunteer, he will only agree if he is crazy.

So after shooting all the planned shots, Chen Xing stayed for a day to check.

After a two-hour rough cut, Chen Xing also flew back to Paris.

You can rest for a while when you go back to China, but now is not the time to rest, Chen Xing's wallet is about to bottom, so let's go to Paris to make some money.

The plane landed in France, and Chen Xing met a lot of Asians at Charles de Gaulle Airport.

During this time, all the eyes were black, so much so that seeing this skin color made Chen Xing feel very moved.

Walking out of the airport, it was Professor Nobel who picked up the plane.

The professor has been back to France for several days, and he asked Chen Xing on the phone three times when he would come back, and after Chen Xing said the time and flight, he said that he would come to pick up the plane. At first, Chen Xing thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect it to come.

Chen Xing was not polite to him, everyone lived together for half a month, and the relationship was already very good.

His current friends are not only his peers, many people younger than him, or much older than him, can talk. Chen Xing walked with him to the parking lot and asked, "Professor, do you have anything to do with me?" Why didn't you say it on the phone? ”

"It's more formal to meet and chat, haha." He laughed twice, and let Chen Xing get on the train first, "Are you in a hurry now, if you are not in a hurry, you can bring all your things, we will go to the train station now, I will take you to a place." ”

"Huh?"

Chen Xing didn't quite understand what he meant.

It shouldn't be a matter at work or in school, Professor Nobel has always been very good to him, but he will not sell it when he encounters serious things.

Now it's more like a conversation between friends.

If you want to take the train, where do you have to go?

"I'm not in a hurry for the time being, but I'm going to take pictures of others every day from the day after tomorrow."

Professor Nobel's smiling expression quickly converged, and he even frowned and said sternly: "Commercial photography? Why are you doing this again? Commercial photography won't improve your skills in the slightest, you should shoot more landscapes and go to more places. ”

Chen Xing probably agreed with what he said.

But only approximately.

Because Chen Xing came to shoot commercial photography not to improve his skills, but for money.

But he was also embarrassed to scold Professor Nobel, and was silent for a while before saying: "What the professor teaches is that in the future, I must take less commercial photography and travel more." ”

"Well, it's right to travel, I also like to travel when I'm young, a group of photographic works I shot in Iceland sold for 600,000 euros a year, and now I have paid tens of thousands of euros for copyright fees every year, isn't this more profitable than you selling your skills and taking one or two thousand photos?"

Chen Xing felt a little pressured and nodded silently.

The professor mainly felt that he hated iron and steel, and he still cared about Chen Xing very much in his heart, and when he saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, he said: "I'm very happy that you stayed in Africa to make a documentary, have you made this documentary?" ”

"Not yet." Chen Xing said, "I roughly cut it yesterday, and I did it a little bit during this time, and the finished product will look like about an hour." ”

"Well, your editing level is also very good, you can save a lot of money, and dubbing, I heard that you want to dub yourself?"

"They all said I had a good voice, so I wanted to try it myself."

Chen Xing is now fluent in three languages, French in the Paris region, American English, and Mandarin.

All three of these are professional-level complete skills given by the system, and dubbing is absolutely no problem.

The professor nodded, wanting to say something, but thinking that Chen Xing didn't have much money, he finally gave up. It's okay to try it yourself, at least Chen Xing's French is good, and if he can't achieve the effect of documentary dubbing, he will also help Chen Xing make his first documentary at his own expense.

He started the car first and said to Chen Xing:

"We go straight to Arles, and your work has a good chance of winning an award, but you need to compete with some people. It's also my fault, if you don't let me go to Africa with me, there should be no suspense for you to win a rookie prize. ”

Don't look at it as just a newcomer award, but the newcomer award at the Arles Photo Festival is extremely golden, after all, only one photographer is selected every year, and there have only been 20 people in the past 20 years.

If you get the newcomer award earlier, you will already be famous at this time.

Chen Xing said in surprise: "I really have a chance? ”

"Well, my friend is from the organizing committee, and he told me some time ago that the score of your work is very high on the judges' side and the audience, but since you are not there, no one will take the initiative to help you promote your work, and now your audience score is about to be surpassed by others."

"And what about the shoot I made an appointment?"

"Pushed!" Professor Nobel said categorically.

"This ...... Not okay? ”

"Did you sign a contract with them?"

"No, it's just a verbal certainty, I've worked with Chanel many times, and I don't think it's good to refuse directly."

They discussed not only the daily shooting this time, but also the autumn and winter show shooting later, Chen Xing is the only newcomer photographer they have invited in the past few years, and his commercial photography price will increase by a quarter after the completion of the shooting.

"Then you can let them come to Arles to shoot." Professor Nobel said, "At least for now, it seems that the Arles Photo Festival Newcomer Award is the most important, you may win many photography festival awards in the future, but the newcomer award can only be this one, if you miss it, don't you regret it?" ”

"It does ......"

"Then let them come over, you can even give them free shots, so that you can increase the price after you get the newcomer award."

“……”

"What's so embarrassing? You Chinese people are like this, and I knew a Chinese photographer before, and I didn't seize a good opportunity, but now I can only mix in the Asian circle, and it is difficult to get ahead. ”

"Do you know any other Asian photographers?"

"What did you say?"

Professor Nobel felt that he had been too benevolent to Chen Xing, which led to a challenge to his authority. He is also an internationally renowned photographer and a top documentary director, isn't it normal to know some Chinese photographers?

Occasionally, he would be invited to give a lecture in Huaxia.

So, along the way, he was popularizing Chen Xing's previous experience, what teenager became famous, his family was very supportive, and then he became a middle-aged documentary director, and he won any awards, and he made any internationally famous works and documentaries.

Arriving at the station immediately, Chen Xing asked a question that he had always been curious about.

"Professor, I heard you used to be a billionaire?"

"This was many years ago, my father's company was sold by me to more than a billion yuan, but I am not good at management, so the family property has shrunk rapidly, and some of the remaining ones are handed over to the fund."

Professor Nobel spoke in a calm tone, as if he did not find the experience difficult to speak.

"So it's not a loss to make a documentary?"

“……”

He turned his head to look at Chen Xing for a long time, and Chen Xing was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "Look at the road, look at the road!" There is a car ahead! ”

"I know how to see the road, but don't you think documentaries are a kind of art that can be passed on? You watch a lot of movies every year, but how many documentaries have you watched? Are there only a handful of documentaries? ”

"Yes."

"So, shouldn't I spend some money on documentaries to leave some marks of this era on future generations?"

Yes?

So it's really a loss to make a documentary?
