Chapter 294: A Journey That Gets More and More Volume
A certain Chen Xing fan group. 'I wanted to buy a camera when I joined the group before, and it has been delayed until now, where can I buy this camera from Xinggecha Advertising?
''Can't buy it anywhere''??? "It's not on sale yet, Brother Xing got the camera in advance for evaluation, it's really worthy of the grandma I pay attention to, it's amazing."
Also, Hasselblad cameras have always been expensive, whether it's the lens or the body, I can't afford it anyway'I say a number,''?
?? ''This is the price of the Hasselblad X1DII, do you think, will the new X2D be lower than that?''
It's good to use a 10,000 yuan for a novice camera, don't buy such an expensive camera. "Bullshit, don't listen to him, the camera has to be in place in one step, and when X2D is released, buy one immediately and it will last for at least ten years, and even sell it after ten years without losing much."
Isn't that better than changing your cameras one by one? Chen Xing's fan base includes novices and photographers.
Whether the X2D camera is good or not, and whether there is a need to buy it, has blossomed in all of Chen Xing's fan bases.
As soon as the morning dawned, the activity of the group increased by several notches, which is enough to show how popular Chen Xing's evaluation is among his fan base.
has been following Chen Xing for two years, and this is the first time they have seen Chen Xing Cha Fan. Of course, those who have the ability should support it.
However, the discussion in the group is so lively, there are still few who are really sure to buy. Some of them are practitioners in the photography circle, and some of them are photography enthusiasts who are not short of money.
What about Hasselblad's camera, the pixels are really good, and the imaging is also beautiful, but in the eyes of professional photographers, it is a work machine rather than a daily machine, so they didn't want to buy the X1D before.
And Chen Xing said that the new X2D is too good. There's that feeling of going all over the world. This popularity reached its peak during the day the next day, and Chen Xing received a lot of WeChat messages when he came together, and many people were asking about the camera.
There are also people who want to find a shooting location, they like the ancient Buddha stone wall photographed by Chen Xing too much.
Before Chen Xing could put the photo on the website, he saw that someone wanted to buy the photo.
Seth: Génial!! , this photo is fantastic! When will it be sent to us. President Zhou: Xiao Chen, did you take a picture of a Buddha statue?
The people at the Centre Pompidou asked me to ask if this work would sell. President Zhou is an elder whom Chen Xing met in France and the president of the Paris Art Association.
Although he was brought to France by his parents to receive a European education when he was a child, he has always been very concerned about Chinese culture and speaks Mandarin very well.
Chen Xing also received a lot of help from him during his time in Paris. Paris reacted so quickly? Chen Xing only made a domestic Chinese video last night, and foreign ones had to be re-dubbed and get an English subtitle, but it was too late.
So Chen Xing is going to sleep in one room first, and then change it today. I didn't expect to receive the news from France after waking up.
Chen Xing didn't expect this, but he could still understand it. Although Chen Xing has many fans in China, it is the French photography circle that pays the most attention to his works.
Miao Village, which is still exhibiting in Arles, has been asked by many people, and the gallery is also talking about the price. If nothing else, by the end of this exhibition, Chen Xing will be able to reap the maximum amount of money he has received since engaging in this work through the technology of photography.
Chen Xing replied to President Zhou first and said, "Good morning, President Zhou, you can ask them to contact Perena Gallery."
Then reply to Seth: Here you will be in a moment. Chen Xing washed his face and sat in front of the computer for a while.
He was wondering if he wanted to adjust the color of this photo, but to be honest, Chen Xing didn't know where to modify, the texture and color of the original film were already very strong, and it could be handed over to Seth like this.
But is it really not a color adjustment? If the original film is sent to others, is it too easy to make money for this photo?
Forget it, anyway, what others like is this original film, so what else do I adjust? Doesn't this just mean that I was very cowhide in the early stage?
So Chen Xing sent the photo to the gallery's mailbox. In fact, if given a choice, Chen Xing would not be willing to place his work in the Centre Pompidou.
When Chen Xing traveled to France for the first time, he divided the three major museums in Paris into three types: "understandable", "between understandable and incomprehensible", and "incomprehensible", among which Pompidou was the one who could not understand.
Most of the art inside is modern art that appeared after the 19th century. Although there is no shortage of fine works, many of them are the kind of 'a few paper cuts', 'oil paintings with unknown pigments', 'bicycle wheels', and even 'Portrait of journalist Sylvia von Harden', which Chen Xing thinks is very ugly and the color is very ordinary.
It's really ugly! Chen Xing feels that his current oil painting skills are better than this one. But people are famous, wealthy, and firmly stand among the three major museums in Paris, and the number of tourists who visit every year is not much less than that of the Louvre.
The more Chen Xing recalled, the clearer the works in it became, and Chen Xing hurriedly sent another message to Seth.
"If there's a better option, don't sell it to the Centre Pompidou, it's okay to get a little cheaper." Seth had been waiting for Chen Xing's message, and after receiving it, he sent a speechless symbol emoji.
Where is there a better choice than the Pompidou Center, the Louvre does not accept photographic works, at most there is an Orsay Museum, but it is not something that can be sold to them if you want to, only the Pompidou Center collects more photographic artworks.
Seth suddenly realized the reason why Chen Xing said this, and hurriedly asked, "Did the Pompidou Center contact you?" ”
"They asked me if my work would sell."
"That's good, that's good, hahaha, you're really going to be on fire" There are artists whose works have been collected by the three major museums, and their works are much better than before, and even big collectors pay special attention to Chen Xing, so they don't need to take their works to recommend them, and they can sell them at a good price.
"That's a good thing, I'll help you contact the Musée d'Orsay, if it really doesn't work, Pompidou is the best choice" Although I don't know why Chen Xing has an opinion on Pompidou, Seth has no opinion on this museum, and its existence is reasonable.
And he looks at modern artworks from a different angle than Chen Xing. From a visual point of view, it is true that there are a lot of modern artworks that are ugly.
But you have to know what the artist was thinking at the time. An artist who has been very kind to the outside world for a long time, suddenly one day he got angry at home and scribbled.
Can you say that the painting is not precious? Of course, the premise of this is to be famous, and if you look carefully, there are few unknown creators at the Centre Pompidou.
Chen Xing can become one of them, and Seth will even feel that Chen Xing has climbed high. After all, Chen Xing is only 20 years old now, no matter how you look at it, he is too young.
It took a moment to process the waves of messages on his phone, and then Chen Xing began to re-dub the video that had been edited last night and make English subtitles.
Last month, Chen Xing received more than $10,000 on YouTube, which is no longer just a publicity channel.
It's okay to use a little snack as a way to make money. In the afternoon, Ji Xuehua sent a video request, Chen Xing was still dubbing in the hotel, and then he saw that it was the top of the ancient Buddha stone wall, and then Ji Xuehua's face appeared.
"Brother Xing?"
"You went overnight?"
"Yes, I still want to shoot the sunrise, the sunrise is photographed, but there is no Buddha statue." Chen Xing smiled and said, "Definitely, the sunrise is the direction of the cliff, but I think it's also very good to shoot the sunrise over there, that mountain is the highest mountain nearby, and the surrounding vision is very wide." ”
"yes, can you help me see how I'm doing in a moment?"
"Yes."
"And that's it, Brother Xing, do you know that the fence is being repaired up here?" He switched the camera to the back of the phone, Chen Xing saw a lot of workers wearing hats building fences around the ancient Buddha stone wall, and as Ji Xuehua rotated, Chen Xing saw someone driving piles and erecting pulleys next to the cliff.
Something should be dragged up from underneath. There is a particularly narrow road up the mountain, so you have to drag larger things up from the cliff.
"It's pretty fast." Chen Xing said. Ji Xuehua said: "I had a meal at the temple below just now, and I was going to take another picture of the sunset. Unexpectedly, I saw them carrying stones up, saying that the government asked them to make a guardrail for the stone wall, and there was a viewing platform to be built next to the cliff. "Chen Xing told the director about this place before he posted the video.
It is estimated that after seeing the video, he thought about repairing this place. There are many scenic spots in Jiangxi, but the scenery here is not bad compared to other scenic spots.
The key is that there are no villagers around, and they will not occupy their fields and homesteads, so it is too convenient to develop a scenic spot.
This year, the tourism industry in various provinces is too volatile, and tourists don't like to go to old attractions such as Lijiang and Sanya, and feel that these attractions are too good at stealing customers, so the directors of tourism and cultural bureaus around the country are looking for new income-generating projects.
The most amazing thing is that there is a well-shaped cave temple twenty minutes down the mountain. Isn't this a free scenic spot?
Ji Xuehua said: "Fortunately, I came early, and if I come back in a few days, I probably won't be able to shoot the picture in your video." ”
"The main thing is that it's safer, and the cliffs before are still too dangerous." Chen Xing said. If there is no guardrail, if anyone slips on the side of the cliff, it will not be a tragedy, and now repair the guardrail and the observation deck, at least to ensure the safety of the tourists who come to visit.
The rating of the scenic spot is not only to see whether the scenery is good or not, but also to see whether the road of this scenic spot is good or not, and whether the safety is high.
Therefore, many scenic spots in Tibet are rated as 3A level, because the scenic roads in Tibet are not easy to walk, and the altitude is too high, many tourists will have altitude sickness after coming to these scenic spots, which is a dangerous item.
Now that the local area is ready to develop here, Chen Xing and others revealed that there is no burden on this shooting spot.
He was afraid that tourists would go up and destroy the Buddha statue. Originally, this stone wall is very weathered, if there is no one to protect it, tourists go up to one and hold a stone or pen to write and draw on it, then this beautiful Buddha stone wall is estimated to support less than the next hundred years.
After sending out the English version of the assessment, Chen Xing went out to forage for food. In the end, it is the county seat, there are many kinds of restaurants downstairs, Chen Xing found a Sichuan restaurant through his new mobile phone, and dealt with it briefly with yellow flower preserved egg soup and boiled beef, and then went to Wuyuan Railway Station to see if there was a train to Poyang.
35 yuan a ticket, the fare is quite cheap. Now is the time for students to go on vacation, there are more college students special forces, and there are many such tourists on the bus that Chen Xing sits.
Chen Xing was a 'special soldier' who came out alone, she was making WeChat calls with her friends, holding her mobile phone while putting her luggage and saying: "I just went to see Huangling, wow, it's really the same as a painting, there is a hotel on the top of the mountain dedicated to taking pictures, it's too profitable." Then I went out and took a cable car ride and came back, and now I am going to check in the grassland of Poyang Lake, ouch...... "Her suitcase couldn't be put in for a long time, and it almost fell, but fortunately it was caught by Chen Xing."
"I'll do it." Chen Xing said. Only then did she notice Chen Xing, secretly stuck out her tongue, and said, "Thank you." Chen Xing put away her suitcase, sat down and nodded, "You're welcome." She chatted for a while before hanging up the phone with her friend and said to Chen Xing: "You are also here to travel to Wuyuan?" ”
"Well, I'm staying here for two days." Chen Xing said, and then he couldn't hold back, and asked a little curiously,
"I just heard that you came to Wuyuan in the morning and went to Huangling and Likeng in the morning, aren't you tired of running like this?" The key is to run two ancient towns without resting, and then return to the county seat to catch the train.
These two ancient towns are not too close to each other, and it is estimated that she spends half of her time in the car today.
"Tired, what can we do, we don't have that much time to travel. I only came out of home a few days ago, and I have already checked in many scenic spots such as Shanghai, Jiangsu, etc., and I have taken a look at Jiangxi in the past two days, and I am also going to go to the mountain city, and the time is too tight. She said with a frown.
"You can travel slowly."
"There's no time." She said, the girl looked at Chen Xing, and said, "Handsome guy, you definitely don't lack time to say this." I'm going to do an internship next year, and after graduation, I'm going to look for a job, and at most I'll be walking around the local area and trying to find a place to go out. ”
"My sister has been graduating for five years, and the SLR camera she bought when she graduated has never been useful, so it's cheaper for me." She held up her camera and smiled.
This is a Nikon SLR, which is very large, and it is a shame that she can hold it. The train will take two hours, and on the way, she also shared with Chen Xing the photos she took in the past few days.
Nikon shoots the scenery really well. Girls are more talented in shooting portraits, and many boys shoot their girlfriends with big faces and short legs, but when they encounter big landscapes, they are very good at finding composition, which is probably also a talent.
This schoolgirl has a good landscape and portrait.
"Have you studied before?" Chen Xing asked.
"No, hehe, sometimes I learn by myself by swiping up those short videos that teach you to take pictures." She laughs. The train arrives at the station.
She took her suitcase from the luggage rack in advance, and as soon as the car stopped, she turned around and waved her hand to Chen Xing, and then immediately walked out with the crowd leaving the station.
And Chen Xing waited until the people were almost gone before leaving the station slowly. Sometimes don't blame them for this kind of punch-in trip, if you have enough time, who doesn't want to go slowly.
