In addition to big media such as European art, Chen Xing has also accepted some small media such as "Paris Photography", but this kind of media can only be said to be small in size, and it is not low in popularity among the French photographers.

Just like the magazine Lonely Planet, in the eyes of travelers who like to travel, it is like the Bible, and many travelers travel abroad for the first time in their lives because they read the guides in Lonely Planet.

Chen Xing is known as the first person in the travel area at the beep station, but he has not actually been in this magazine.

Actually, you can also give it a try.

Lonely Planet is also a travelogue after all, Chen Xing's previous trips may not meet the standards for various reasons, but this trip to Wuyuan, Jiangxi, from the cause of this trip to the final discovery of the Buddha carving that has been forgotten for hundreds of years, is definitely qualified.

It's really not good, what about a photo?

Chen Xing doesn't have time to think about this now, he has met several groups of people in a row, and he doesn't have time to go out to eat at noon, and more than a dozen gallery employees plus Chen Xing and Hedwig are eating takeout in the office.

A young man from the exhibition department said during the meal: "This is the first time I have seen so many Asians in our gallery. ”

"Chen is Asian, and there must be more Asians coming."

Although the name of their gallery is Galerie, most of the projects they run are photography, and whoever calls the boss likes photography. The staff recruited by the gallery also prefer photography, and even are photography enthusiasts themselves.

The young man has been working in the exhibition department for three years and has run many photo exhibitions, but this is the first time he has seen so many Asians in a photo exhibition.

Another girl said, "Chen, you will definitely become a master photographer." ”

Many people are echoing: "Yes, I have held so many of your photography exhibitions in the past two months, and I insist on thinking so, come on!" ”

A few girls chattered and cheered for Chen Xing, no matter what they thought or not, but who doesn't like to listen to good words, Chen Xing thanked him again and again, and his face smiled, and now the girls were even more energetic.

Dine?

It's beautiful.

Hedwig's plastic fork was stuck the dessert, she used to like sweets, but now she didn't feel sweet at all.

Dellin had become familiar with it in front of several critics, and then went out to see Chen Xing's work. For him, Chen Xing is actually very instructive, his use of light in posing can be described as perfect, but Chen Xing is very good at capturing the light of nature.

Commercial photography can't be filmed for a lifetime, and today's young photographers are entering the industry with new ideas, more and more tricks, and even AI is coming to compete with them for work.

If this trend continues, wedding photographers are the first to be eliminated by the times.

Dellin is a little more high-end than wedding photography, but it also needs to change, otherwise in a few years, as long as the stars authorize AI to use their own face data authorization, then high-end commercial works can also be generated by AI.

If you think about it, it's better to be a natural landscape photographer like Chen Xing.

At least for another decade.

By the way, he also likes to shoot humanities, which is the last bottom line of photographers, and this category is estimated to never be replaced.

When he walked to the separate room on the right side of the hall, Dellin saw the "Buddha Light" taken by Chen Xing.

Even after the meal, there are still many people in suits and leather shoes commenting on the work, and there are some Arles tourists with cameras, almost all of whom have some knowledge of photography.

Now they all have a liking on their faces, if the picture is willing to sell, and the price is what they expected.

It is estimated that 100% of people will want to take this work home with them, no matter where it is placed.

"A magnificent work," someone sighed.

"Was this bird repaired later? It's true. "A woman noticed a flock of birds on the stone wall, silhouetted in the light and shadow of the setting sun, but if you look closely, you can see the birds' demeanor clearly.

These birds just look like silhouettes.

Nothing in this piece is pure black, and Hasselblad's excellent pixels are enough to support such a large picture.

People who stood in the front row and looked at this work for at least an hour without looking back and said: "It's not P's, this photo hasn't been retouched in any way, and not even a little bit of light processing." ”

"This photographer's luck is too good." The woman said.

When Dellin heard this, he shook his head and said:

"Opportunities will only be reserved for those who are prepared, this is a Chinese proverb, the natural world is appearing different beauties every moment, I believe that at this moment in a certain place in the world, there must be a more beautiful scene than this work, but we can't shoot it."

The man who had spoken earlier glanced back, and from the way Dellin was dressed, he was just a photographer.

Rest assured, this is not an opponent.

Many of the photos in this photo exhibition are valuable, but this Buddha light is not for sale.

He received information from Seth that the photo would only be sold to museums in his home country, and that their Centre Pompidou was so impressed with the painting that the photographs in their museums had not been updated for a long time.

There are also three works opposite the Buddha Light, and the quality of these three works is better than that of the hall, but it is obviously not as good as the Buddha Light one.

Looking closer, these three should have been taken in the same place, two of them are portraits, and the last one is a view of Chinese architecture bathed in the sunset. Since this photography exhibition is called Sunset Chen Xing, there will definitely be a large number of such sunset works.

This sunset work has already been sold, so the price is no longer visible.

But since it's here, the price of these three photos should be about the same.

Dellin approached the other, a Chinese woman photographed indoors, sitting on a Chinese-style chair, wearing an oriental cheongsam, playing an unknown musical instrument, and having an elegant temperament.

See the introduction:

China's national intangible cultural heritage - Suzhou Pingtan.

This is a dialect-style traditional Chinese drama, popular in Jiangsu, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other areas of China, the women in the photo are soft and gentle, the most traditional Chinese women, taken in Chen Xing's travels in the Jiangnan region of China.

Price: 45,000 euros.

It is also suitable.

It's easy for Dellin to earn 40,000 yuan, but it's just different from Chen Xing's way.

This price seems to be very expensive, and for many ordinary people, it is estimated that only the wronged head is willing to buy, but the photographer, like the painter, buys the fame of the photographer. Mr. Abbott's gallery has spent so much money on promoting Chen Xing in the past two months, and of course it is necessary to take advantage of the momentum of this Arles Photo Festival to bring down Chen Xing's status.

That is, Chen Xing has just debuted, if Chen Xing shoots for a few more years, they even dare to price the most ordinary work for 100,000 yuan.

The last one is also a portrait.

I can't see my gender and age in this one, and I can't even see my face clearly, because this is a stage, and the actors on the stage wear very heavy makeup.

Chinese drama!

Chinese plays sell better in Europe than in China, and Dellin sometimes went to see a few shows, listening to the foreign language and watching the expressive movements of the actors on the stage, he even felt that it was even better than the opera.

But the dress in the photo is different from the Peking Opera he has seen.

If you are interested in the drama in the picture, you can buy tickets for the Chinese Yue Opera performance at the Cannes Philharmonic Concert Hall on September 21.

Price: 45,000 euros.

This picture is seen by a little more people than the previous one, Dellin has never seen this kind of drama, but there are many people who have seen it and like it.

A curly-haired 30-year-old white man took a long picture with his mobile phone, made up his mind, and the staff who found this exhibition hall said, "Hello, I want this work." ”

"Okay, please come with me to the side and register!"

The girl confirmed the number of the photo, took off the price tag and took someone to register, the money can be given first, but the work must wait for the end of Chen Xing's photography exhibition before they can take it.

The other person was still looking at it, and found that someone had taken off the price tag of this photo, and was stunned for a moment, and said:

"This is sold? So fast? ”

"Yes, tens of thousands of euros, and I'm really willing to ......"

The one who spoke was an Asian woman, estimated to be from Huaxia, and she was surprised that this kind of picture that she could often see was sold for tens of thousands of euros, but the foreigner who spoke before ignored him and hurriedly said:

"I bought this over here! Hurry up, tear the price up for me! ”

He didn't even wait for the staff member to return, so he asked his female companion to take down the price sign, as if he was afraid that someone would take the photo again.

Asian woman jaw-dropping.

He saw that the photographer was a Chinese person, and then joined in the fun to visit, after all, ten euros is not expensive, take care of the fellow to come in and see what he shot. Before I came in, I was even mentally prepared that there was no one inside.

As a result, I was stunned as soon as I came in.

There are people everywhere.

I walked around casually, walked into the most beautiful and quiet room, and within a few minutes, I saw that the transaction of about 100,000 euros had been sold.

Why?

Isn't that just a casual photo taken when someone else was acting?

I've also taken a lot of photos.

She was puzzled and looked around blankly.

I really can't understand art, I can't see the good things about the photos in the Arles photo exhibition outside, and I don't know where the photos of this Chinese photographer are expensive, but I will definitely tell my friends about today's events when I go back.

It's so interesting.

………………

Dellin came in from outside the office and saw a group of people inside packing their lunch boxes.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and Chen Xing and the others had just finished eating.

Dellin looked at what they were eating and complained, "That's what you guys eat?" Chen Xing, Chen Xing, do you know how many of your photos have been sold? ”

"Huh? How much was sold? ”

He's spent the morning dealing with reporters or critics, and now he's going out to meet ordinary guests. I don't really have time to find out how many of my photos have sold, but I think there should have been more of the previous exhibitions, right?

France is Chen Xing's home base, and there are many people who recognize him, and some small works will definitely not be sold.

Dellin recalls the works in the gallery that don't have price tags, but soon his brain goes down, and he is an art student who now has no understanding of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within a hundred.

"Anyway, it's a lot, you should really have a party at night."

"I know so few people, even if the party is held, I don't think many people will come."

Chen Xing has attended several artists' gatherings.

Scene...... It's unsightly.

Chen Xing hid from doing this kind of thing, and they even dared to take off their pants in public, Chen Xing often became incompatible with them because he was not perverted enough.

Europeans are very tolerant of artists, and there are many things that ordinary celebrities can't do, but artists feel normal when they do these things, and this kind of atmosphere makes European artists sometimes completely ignore the rules of society.

Seth came in and said, "There really should be a party, I'll arrange it then." ”

Chen Xing asked, "Sold a lot?" ”

"Well, the better ones are basically sold, and the cheaper ones are more left, and you will have to control your annual works in the future." Seth habitually reminded him, and then remembered that Chen Xing's production rate was not high.

It took a year to produce a Buddha light, and then control it, can there still be a photo?

He immediately changed his words and said: "Don't, don't, when I didn't say it, anyway, you will show me the finished products in the future." ”

Chen Xing made an OK and hurriedly went out.

He wanted to see what ordinary tourists had to say about his work.

Walking a little further from the office is the hall, now this time is not the one or two hundred people in the morning, tourists almost crowded the room, but the noisy sound made Chen Xing feel very wonderful.

He's a guy who likes to be alone, but this is his photo exhibition.

These are all people who have paid to come in and see their works, and for Chen Xing, they are all gods.

"The photographer is out!"

Chen Xing's appearance is relatively recognizable to Westerners, so he was recognized as soon as he appeared, not to mention that there are a lot of Asians mixed in it, and for them, Chen Xing's appearance is even more unforgettable.

"Chen! halo！ ”

Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand at the person who greeted him.

A little white man with a camera excitedly asked, "Photographer?!" How did you come up with the idea to take a picture like this? ”

"Do you like it?"

"Like, it's so cool, if you publish your photo book, I'll definitely buy it! No matter how much it is! ”

"Thank you for liking, but it may be a little difficult to explain why I took photos like this, you can follow the next few issues of European Art, or follow my YouTube account, sometimes I will update some of my thoughts on it."

"I will!"

Since Chen Xing came out, people outside have been asking questions all the time, and this novel shooting method has allowed many photographers who like color and don't like black and white to find another high-end way out.

Chen Xing also prefers the current environment.

In the face of critics, Chen Xing can only get one or two likes.

But in the gallery, he could see countless adoring glances at a casual glance.
