Seth is glad that Chen Xing will be going to participate in the photo exhibition of the island nation.

Chen Xing's group of people to put it bluntly rely on fame to eat, photographers do not maintain their value like painters, once the fame declines, it will bring the work cold, so he often persuades Chen Xing to run a few more photography festivals, and it is best to win a few more awards.

Now Chen Xing can win a Grand Prize at the French Winter Photography Festival and a Newcomer Award at the Rencontres d'Arles Photo Festival.

Although they are all very beneficial awards in the photography circle, the number is indeed a bit small.

Chen Xing felt that this matter was not so easy to do, and he might have to go to Qatar to meet the local tyrant in person and send him two works. But the next day, Chen Xing waited for a huge piece of good news...... The local tyrant readily agreed to Chen Xing's request, without asking for anything at all.

This made Chen Xing thank him again and again on the phone.

"Thanks to the help of Big Brother Ahmed this time, otherwise I really don't know what to do, there really aren't any good works lately."

"It's okay, Chen, the woman in the photo is particularly beautiful, although this was taken in your country, but her clothes and demeanor have the characteristics of our nation. I'm glad you can put her on the show at more photography festivals......"

Dunhuang culture is a miracle all over the world.

The characteristics of the four ancient civilizations are blended here, and these four civilizations have evolved into the whole world today, which is definitely an important subject for Chinese photographers to go out of China, but except for Chen Xing, no photographer has photographed flowers here.

I guess I didn't even notice it.

With his consent, Chen Xing was very relaxed, and he only needed to bring his luggage and meet Seth in the island country.

originally wanted to bring Bai Yuzhu with her, this girl is Chen Xing's apprentice, and she is completely different from the photographers who recruited into the studio. But this art festival came two months early, and now Bai Yuzhu belongs to a pure newcomer, so it's useless to bring it over.

So I still stayed in Rongcheng and continued to eat books.

You can't read an article that introduces photography in depth, but you have to read the book on structure and a few photo books approved by Chen Xing, especially the photo book, if you really want to develop in the direction of a photographer, then the photo book is a bedside reading, and you have to read it if you have nothing to do.

This is an important way to develop an aesthetic and photographic eye.

Bai Yuzhu was born with a photographic eye and knows where to shoot best, but aesthetics still have to be cultivated.

This year's Kyoto International Arts Festival officially took place on April 22, Chen Xing passed on the 16th, and Seth had to come in a few days, and he had a lot to do as a gallery manager. Whenever he changes another contracted photographer to participate in a photography exhibition in Asia, he will only send his subordinates.

Chen Xing's still has to come in person.

This is the first brother of Perenna Gallery, and even the owner of the gallery is a fan of Chen Xing, who dares to despise it?

At least he didn't dare.

Chen Xing, who came in advance, also wanted to go around the island country alone, and the works had been handed over to the organizing committee, and the exhibition venue was discussed between the organizing committee and the gallery, and Chen Xing had nothing to do, so he just took this opportunity to come to the island country and take a look at a few attractions he wanted to go.

Many people's image of the island nation is Mt. Fuji.

After all, everyone makes a wish for the eruption of Mt. Fuji at every turn.

But as a literary and artistic youth, what Chen Xing wants to go to is actually Nara, which is full of deer, and the town of Isho in "Your Name...... It's not that you have to see this town, but Chen Xing likes the description of this kind of town in the anime.

There are no bookstores or dentists in the town, trams run every two hours, buses run twice a day, the weather forecast doesn't mention, a map search for satellite imagery is a mosaic, and convenience stores close at nine a.m., but there are vendors selling vegetable seeds and farm tools. There are neither McDonald's nor Moss burgers, but there are two taverns, no jobs, and no girls marry......

If you think about it, this description applies to most of the small towns in the world.

But it is this kind of town that will have the human touch and beautiful scenery that cannot be seen in big cities.

Isn't traveling abroad just to see these different human touches? Otherwise, the vast land of China is enough to satisfy 90% of a person's imagination of travel, and there is no need to leave China and set foot in one country after another in different languages.

There is also that kind of traditional shrine.

He has no interest in the shrine, but is interested in the shrine maiden in it.

……………………

April 17th

River Valley Town.

This is the northeastern region of the island country, which has a relatively small population, and those who often mix up the beeping station have probably heard of Iwate Prefecture, which is located within the boundaries of Iwate Prefecture. Moreover, the administrative division of the island country is very interesting, its county is larger than the city, and it is a first-class administrative district, which is equivalent to the province of our country.

Chen Xing came here with a travel bag and a camera.

There are no high-rise buildings, all of them are one- or two-story houses, a bit like the countryside in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in China, the roads are not wide, but they are very clean, very complete, and the sanitation situation is much better than that of Tokyo, Chen Xing has not seen any garbage along the way.

Of course, there are no pedestrians.

Occasionally, one or two elderly people would pass by on bicycles, and this little movement caused Chen Xing to pick up his camera and take two photos.

What about people?

Do island people also go out to work?

The scenes around here are still the ones that are very common in island anime, but after losing the filter, I always feel that something is weird.

Hungry, Chen Xing walked into a restaurant with a signboard that said roast meat and a black cow doll. Hida Beef Chen Xing knows that it belongs to a brand of Wagyu beef, and some restaurants will introduce this kind of Wagyu beef to customers when he is in France.

The boss was in his thirties, and he was still sitting outside the store playing with his mobile phone before Chen Xing walked over.

"Hello." Chen Xing said.

"You, too, guest, would you like a barbecue?"

Chen Xing sounded a little laborious, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not good at Japanese, can you speak English?" ”

He only knows a little bit of the most commonly used Japanese, after all, he has only studied with others for one night, and he has not learned longer sentences.

"Yes, guest, will you eat barbecue?"

"Of course."

There is no one in the store, but the decoration is very good, there are advertising leaflets on the top of the head, on the wall, any position that can be advertised, and there are many black bull dolls on it, and what is written on it can only be guessed, but you can also guess seven, seven, eight, eight.

There is still this good thing about traveling in the island country, as long as you know the words, you will not be so blind in Europe.

Just like this shop, the signboard is the two Chinese characters of roast meat, and it is always right to enter this kind of shop when you are hungry.

The guests sit in a compartment that looks narrow, with a maximum of two people sitting together in a cubicle. The middle of the table is recessed a little, which is the stove used for barbecue, and the farthest end is the bathroom, and after sitting down, there is a drink machine behind the window.

The boss wiped Chen Xing's seat with a rag, then shook it on his shoulder and said, "The drink is free, it depends on what you want?" ”

If you come to a barbecue restaurant in an island country, of course, you will eat Wagyu beef.

Chen Xing directly asked for a bunch of the main missile beef in the store, and then chatted with the boss: "You young people seem to be very few here." ”

"Now? It's all in school. But it's really rare, I want to run to the big city when I'm a little older, and the only people who stay are reluctant to leave my hometown except for the elderly. Don't look at me like I am now, I used to travel in Tokyo when I was younger...... Here's your beef. ”

A square plate is served with tender beef.

Eight points thin, two points fat...... This can't be said to be fat, the white lines are like snowflakes sticking to the beef, and a layer of bright oil has been touched on it, which makes people appetite great just by looking at it. (End of chapter)
