Ten minutes later, Lu Feng entered the house from outside the door with two bowls of noodles, put one of the bowls of noodles in front of Chen Xing, and said to his brother, "On the kitchen table, go get it yourself." ”

Chen Xing hurriedly thanked him.

The noodles are very ordinary dried noodles, and the taste is not good, but the seasoning is quite suitable for Chen Xing's appetite.

After eating, it was already close to ten o'clock, and Lu Jiarang chatted with the middle-aged man named Lao Wang. From their chat, Chen Xing learned that this was still a university professor, and the young man was his student.

Coming to this place is also to do further research and investigation of potash mines.

Lop Nur is a forbidden area of life, a boundless desert.

In the past, Huaxia developed the atomic bomb and tested it in this area, and if you can make such a decision, you can see how barren the area around Lop Nur is.

But all this stopped when it was discovered that Lop Nur had a large amount of potash resources.

In the past, it could be said that Lop Nur was a desert without a drop of water, but now this is not the case. With the exploitation of potash, the salt lakes of Lop Nur have gradually returned, and now a patch of Ze can now be seen on the latest satellite imagery.

It's all thanks to them.

Chen Xing had a deep admiration for them for a while, these people lived in such a difficult area, and even did not have the network that modern people are accustomed to, but they created such a great project.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Lop Nur has revived this place.

But I can't find any news about them on the Internet, and they are definitely unsung heroes.

The young graduate student hero is surnamed Liu, the willow of the willow tree, Liu Jiujiang.

Chen Xing is actually often envious of other people's names that are very literary, unlike him, a popular name, who grabs a lot of them.

Liu Jiujiang waited for Chen Xing to eat and went to his room to bring the camera, a well-maintained Sony, the style is the kind that Chen Xing used before, and it can be regarded as fate.

Chen Xing took his camera and looked at it, and said, "I can see that it doesn't use it much." ”

"Haha, I usually put it in the moisture-proof box, I bought it with a loan, and it's baby."

He only had much living expenses at that time, and the camera was slowly returned in 12 installments, Liu Jiujiang still remembered that period when he ate chaff and vegetables, and he was so poor that he couldn't find a girlfriend in his sophomore year, just for this camera.

Chen Xingshen nodded approvingly: "I just got the camera and I'm very precious, no, it's also my baby now, I don't dare to take it out when it's windy and rainy." ”

Some Sony is pampered, some Nikon is on the battlefield, if Sony is also as resistant as Nikon, maybe Chen Xing can also shoot a lot of beautiful rain scenes now.

There is a large starry sky in Liu Jiujiang's photos.

It would be a waste not to shoot the stars in Lop Nur, after all, the environment here is not too easy to photograph, if you shoot the starry sky, there is no light pollution in the surrounding city, 365 days a year, at least two-thirds of the time is sunny, and it belongs to the best starry sky shooting spots in the country.

"It's a good shot." Chen Xing praised.

He also flipped through the settings of the camera, and they are all settings that he understands personally, and he can be called a master among enthusiasts.

Photographing the stars doesn't require you to have much understanding of photography, you just need to know your camera. Find a good place, use the star map of the mobile app to find the best angle, and then shoot directly with the fixed data.

If you don't shoot well, modify the data a little and do it again.

After all, living in this place for a long time, Liu Jiujiang has too much time to try and make mistakes.

"Quack." Hearing Chen Xing's praise, he laughed loudly, "I have a lot more confidence to hear you say this, I didn't dare to send out the photo before." ”

Chen Xing flipped to the end and saw the portrait he had taken before coming to Lop Nur.

That's ......

"You've found a good composition, but it's a little bit of a point to shoot a girl, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Currently single." Liu Jiujiang restrained his smile and said with some embarrassment.

Chen Xing didn't like to ask this question when he was single, but now he has the confidence, and explained to him with a smile: "My girlfriend is the most affordable model, if it's not convenient to shoot on the street, then I shoot my girlfriend every day, and I look good if I shoot people for ten days and half a month." ”

Portrait photography is actually a big science, many people who have just got a camera are confused, don't know anything, and there are no guidelines, and it all depends on personal feelings when shooting.

You see that other people shoot girls well, and they are all practiced from scratch.

And there is another advantage, no one can guarantee that passers-by will be natural when they stand in front of your camera, and most girls must be nervous. Therefore, with a fixed girlfriend model, the photographer can still slowly adjust.

It's also very rewarding.

That's what Chen Xing did in Paris, at least now Hedwig can calmly face Chen Xing's camera.

After ten o'clock, Liu Jiujiang took Chen Xing and the others to the vacant room.

Chen Xing slept in a room alone, Lu Feng and the Lu family let the two sleep together, the bedding was just brought out of the cabinet, in the dry climate of the northwest, even if these quilts were not used for a long time, they had no taste when they were taken out now.

In the dead of night, the surroundings were frighteningly quiet.

There were no insects chirping outside the window, and there were no birds, only the faint sound of someone snoring.

But the night through the window was beautiful.

The stars are dotted, and I don't know what the principle makes them twinkle and flash, this is the picture that the camera can't react to, not to mention the fixed picture of the photo, even the most high-definition video, and I can't feel the beauty of seeing it with my own eyes.

Chen Xing forgot when he slept in the window, but he woke up because there was movement outside the window.

Chen Xing got up, unscrewed the mineral water bottle, took a sip of water, and came to the window to look out. At this time, Liu Jiujiang and the others were already holding a large pile of things, carrying a large bag, and carrying a black box containing detection equipment in both hands.

It wasn't dawn yet, and I didn't know what time it was, but the moon was still hanging in the sky, and the stars were still twinkling.

Lao Wang was holding a big camera to make a call, Liu Jiujiang took the opportunity to put down the box to rest, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Xing standing at the window, so he smiled and said in a low voice: "You haven't slept yet?" ”

"I've slept already." Chen Xing said.

He also wanted to ask where they were going so early, but immediately he felt that he was in a daze, what could they do when they went out with their equipment?

Probe.

Lop Nur's discovery of potash ore is a very important thing for the whole of China, many people don't know what this thing can do when it is mined, it sounds a little unfamiliar, but it is an important raw material for making fertilizer.

China has gone from being an importer to a fertilizer exporter, feeding more than a billion people by relying on potash mines in Lop Nur. It is precisely because of the continuous exploration of these scientists that it took only a few years for Huaxia to go through the road that the United States has traveled in 30 years.

But they have also remained obscure.

Lao Wang finished the call, glanced at Chen Xing, smiled and said hello, "Disturb your sleep, right?" ”

"No, I just woke up."

He nodded and called the students to get ready to go.

Liu Jiujiang also said goodbye to Chen Xing, bent down, lifted two boxes and went to chase the teacher.

When Chen Xing saw this picture, he didn't have time to think about it, turned around and picked up the camera, and quickly took a picture of Liu Jiujiang carrying two big boxes and chasing the two teachers in front of him.

Most of the time, when a photographer encounters something he wants to photograph, the image already appears in his mind.

This captured photo is no exception.

With this window as the foreground, the two worlds of 'me' and 'them' are distinguished, and the three of them are carrying seemingly heavy packages, and Liu Jiujiang, because he is young and strong, also took two additional boxes containing equipment, and chased after the people in front of him in a running posture.

There were no roads ahead of them, only an endless desert in the moonlight.

The sky was bright with stars, and it seemed to illuminate their direction as well.

Of course, the photo that Chen Xing captured just now is not like this, and the description in the previous paragraph is that it can only be seen after the production is completed.

For this reason, he also specially took a time-lapse starry sky in situ, this photo was used to strengthen the starry sky part of the work later, so as to reflect the appearance of these three scientific researchers wearing stars and moons.

And the name of this work is 'Wearing the Stars and the Moon'.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all, so he simply sat down at the table, took out his notebook and began to make this photo and the later stage of the sunset in Loulan.

The sunset one is okay, but if you want to make the photo you took just now look like Chen Xing's mind, there will be a lot of places to P.

The sky was slightly bright, the Lu family made it customary to get up early to exercise, and when they walked out of the room, they saw that Chen Xing's room was still lit, and when they walked over, they found that Chen Xing was still clicking on the computer, so he knocked on the window glass.

"Boss, did you not sleep or did you get up early?"

Chen Xing smiled and said, "It's just that you got up early, why do you let my brother get up so early?" ”

"Two laps."

He also asked Chen Xing if he was interested in running with him, he saw that Chen Xing was in good shape, and he should also be a sports-loving person. But on the contrary, Chen Xing's strength has nothing to do with exercise, and all physical fitness is sent by the system.

By the time he came back from his run, it was already dawn.

Chen Xing also finished retouching the picture and watched Lu Feng cook noodles in the kitchen.

The most convenient thing in the kitchen here is to cook noodles, the packaged noodles filled a cabinet, and when he saw his brother coming back, Lu Feng hurriedly threw a little more noodles into it, and Chen Xing also helped with the bowl to make seasonings.

Put a little bit of each of the several seasonings that are laid out, just pay attention to controlling the salt, if you can't cook noodles, Chen Xing may be expelled from Sichuan by a group of apron men.

While eating noodles, Lu Jiarang asked, "Do you still go to Loulan?" If I didn't go, I'd call the two soldiers, and we wouldn't have been able to get out without them leading the way. ”

Chen Xing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm not going." ”

The atmosphere in Loulan is not suitable for the morning sun, so it is enough to have a photo of the sunset, and Chen Xing himself likes the one he took yesterday.

I don't know where they lived, but it only took two hours to get the car over.

Just like the way they came into Lop Nur, the high-powered cars drove on this road, and basically the people behind them did not need to drive, and the dust would block people from seeing the road in front of them at all.

Lu Feng also saw this scene, and his heart was open to the side of others.

A few hours later, Chen Xing saw the unique architecture of Qiang County again...... The city has arrived.

As soon as Chen Xing got out of the car, he made a transatlantic call to Seth, and as soon as the other side was connected, Chen Xing shouted in French: "Look at the mailbox, I took two super good photos, but I haven't gotten the authorization of the model yet, so I'll show you." ”

Seth's favorite thing is to rate the photos taken by photographers.

Some hit five stars, some hit four stars.

Chen Xing's works are all three-star at worst, but their gallery has also signed other young photographers, and these people are a bit of a mixed bag, and their skills are also up and down. Sometimes I can take a four-star photo, but more often than not, I still shoot a waste film in Seth's eyes.

But these people are not famous yet, even if they shoot better than Chen Xing, no one buys them.

Didn't Seth keep saying that Chen Xing's output was low, and now he will directly give you two masterpieces, are you surprised?

It's not that you can't take photos, it's just that you haven't traveled yet, don't talk about two five-star works, if you have six stars, six stars, I will break through to show you!

"Be quiet."

Seth had actually just arrived at the gallery not long ago, and the time difference between the two places was almost dinner, but the Frenchman had just started working.

The phone didn't hang up, and Seth yawned and opened the mailbox.

The two photos sent by Chen Xing are now in a compressed state, and when he clicked on the first one, Seth almost squirted out the coffee in his mouth, and instantly refreshed, and after zooming in, he got closer to see Chen Xing's photo.

Night scenes, portraits, stories.

Chen Xing had previously made a work with a similar style, which was still in this humanistic story genre, but that one had already been taken away by the Paris Art Association.

If it is Chen Xing's junior work that is collected by the Paris Art Association, then this photo has been upgraded by two notches, jumping from the original junior high school to the university environment, the stars just express the time of the picture, the words on the backpack and the name of the equipment on the box, and also express the hard work of these people.

In today's China, celebrities stand in the foreground and reap honor and interests, but scientific research workers can only take basically a fixed salary, gradually promoting the development of the times.

Especially Huaxia, as a country that has spent decades catching up with the development of other countries for at least a hundred years, does it rely on stars?

Isn't it still created by this group of scientists?

The idea of this piece is fantastic!

He also shouted on the phone: "The photo is fantastic, Chen, you have surpassed your previous self." I'm looking at your second work now, and I'm ready to come over with any surprises! ”

I'll take it all!

Filming humanities is also very marketable, and some middle and high-level French people actually like Chen Xing's tone of filming humanities.

After reading the second one, Seth was silent on the phone for a long time, and Chen Xing even thought that the phone was broken.

"How did you do it, did it all shoot on the same day?"

"I slept halfway through, and it was two days."

"The styles are all different, but if you look closely, you look like you, Chen, you are really getting better and better, you must get the consent of these three people, the gallery needs a work like this now."

The good ones have been chosen, how can the gallery be done without a finale?

Seth had decided that he was going to print the photo in the highest resolution and put it in the most prominent position in the gallery.

Let all the guests and tourists who come to visit the gallery see this photo of Chen Xing as soon as they walk in.

As for the sunset in Loulan......

There is no need to think about this photo, Chen Xing's Chinese-style works are currently too popular in the international community, and if he does not double the price to sell this painting, he is sorry that he will take over the position of gallery manager.

"Chen, it would be nice if all the photos you took were like this." Seth is talking nonsense.

He was thinking to himself.

Three years later, Perena Gallery was listed on the NASDAQ.

It's not unthinkable......
