Chapter 435: Chinese Food in the Island Country
Seth hadn't boarded the plane when the news reached the gallery, so he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't care that he was at the airport, and said in ecstasy: "That's the case? That's great, you can send me all the remaining photos of Mr. Chen in the gallery first. ”
He didn't have time to go back to the gallery for a meeting and research, so he might as well take the work on the plane.
When he goes to the island country of Kyoto to meet Chen Xing, the two of them will study what works to use to hold a solo exhibition in the island country.
With Chen Xing's current fame, it is certainly not a problem to open a solo exhibition in an island country, as long as the gallery has this intention, it can easily find ten or eight famous curators in the island country to take over the job.
But is that normal, can it be the same as the official invitation of the International Arts Festival?
Most of the exhibitors in this event are from Asia, and the islanders have always considered their country to have the highest level of art in Asia. Never before have this kind of opportunity been given to a foreigner in a previous art festival.
Even though many of their program plans have been complained about being too underworld, it is undeniable that these art masters in the island country do have a certain social influence in the European literary and artistic circles.
Chen Xing was invited to open a solo photography exhibition in the art festival, which was a great boost to Chen Xing's status in the Asian photography community.
Perhaps after the end of this festival, Chen Xing's works will be as popular in Asia as they are in Europe.
Seth boarded the plane with that expectation in mind.
………………
Chen Xing finished his trip for the time being and came to Kyoto Airport to pick up his old friend.
This trip is not too enjoyable, the architectural atmosphere of the island country was born in China, but it has its own unique taste in the evolution of civilization, and it is very beautiful to take pictures.
It's a pity that there isn't enough time.
Fortunately, after the festival started, he still had some time to visit Kyoto.
At this moment, he was wearing a very casual dress, a colorful shirt, a very stylish fisherman's hat, and a youthful and beautiful masculine temperament, which made the young ladies passing by look back at him from time to time.
Chen Xing's height is not short in Northern Europe, he is simply explosive in the island country, tall, handsome and temperamental, just standing here for a while, there is more than one JK girl to talk to, and there are also beauties who come to travel.
"Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
Within two minutes of this thought, Chen Xing saw a new group of people walking out of the airport.
Seth still looks like Sven, wearing a suit that remains unchanged all year round, and at a glance he knows that he is a migrant worker who has come to the island country on a business trip, but fortunately, the little assistant who helped him with his luggage next to him has improved him a lot.
He soon spotted Chen Xing, who was very eye-catching in the crowd, and walked over with a smile.
Chen Xing also saw him, nodded, and said hello: "It's been a long time......"
Seth interrupted him.
"Good news! In Kyoto, we don't just want to exhibit your work, we even have a separate exhibition hall. ”
"Huh?"
"You don't believe it?" Seth saw Chen Xing's somewhat confused expression, and said with a smile, "I was also very surprised when I received the news before, this art festival in the island country has been held for so many sessions, and in addition to their own photographers, few photographers from other countries can open a separate museum." ”
"It's not that I don't believe ......"
Chen Xing was a little embarrassed, mainly because he hadn't prepared for this before, and now he said that he wanted to use a separate exhibition hall, what should he do with so many photos?
He was very slack during the Chinese New Year, in addition to the photos taken by relatives and friends, there were a few photos of his hometown, not to mention how the scenery of his hometown was, the key is that he took it very casually, how embarrassed to put it on the international community to show people?
"How many do they want?"
"At least thirty or more." Seth seemed to understand what Chen Xing was worried about, and said, "There are still a batch of works from the Huaxia Village series in the gallery, and I have asked them to send them over, but there is still a gap in a group of works, do you have any ideas?" ”
"What Chinese countryside? It's called an ancient town, the same ancient town as Giverny and Nice! It's even older than them, and it's ...... a long history."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Seth patted Chen Xing's arm and said perfunctorily, he doesn't care what kind of ancient town or countryside, in his opinion, it doesn't make a difference, although Chen Xing's example of Giverny is famous because of Monet, but it's not just a village.
Although he has a certain ability to appreciate, he is a businessman in the final analysis.
Just make money.
"Let's find a place to eat and talk as we eat."
He pulled Chen Xing, who had been explaining to him what was called the style of a Chinese-style ancient town, and walked out, and at the same time did not forget to greet the two gallery colleagues he brought, and introduced Chen Xing successively: "Let me introduce these two children first, her name is Jane Eyre, from the operation department, this handsome guy who works hard is called Perbley, my assistant." ”
Perbury was holding a large pile of luggage and said hello to Chen Xing very awkwardly.
Chen Xingke is his fan, but today he looks too embarrassed, which makes him feel a little embarrassed.
The girl also carried a small suitcase of her own, smiling: "Hello." ”
His French is stiff and doesn't sound like a native French accent.
Compared with men, Chen Xing's eyes still subconsciously paid attention to this girl with freckles on her face, and then suddenly felt that there was nothing to say to Seth, this French balding middle-aged man with a mouth full of patina, can he understand what art is?
"Jane Eyre? I'm guessing you're British. Chen Xing said.
Jane Eyre sighed, shrugged her shoulders and said, "It seems to be really easy to guess, you guessed it, my mother is an avid Jane Eyre fan." But I want you to call me Mia, Mr. Chen Xing. ”
"Absolutely." Chen Xing said.
Jane Eyre's name is a very famous literary work in England, because of the influence of this one, there are countless girls named Jane in the West, but it happens to be a rare one with the surname Eyre.
Except for Seth, who had been to the island nation before, the other two were both first-time visitors to Asia.
Invite friends from afar to eat Japanese food?
Can you eat that?
So Chen Xing directly brought a few people into the Chinese restaurant.
There are two kinds of Chinese restaurants in the island country, one is very authentic, no different from eating in a restaurant in China, the customers are generally Chinese, and most of the chefs and bosses also have Chinese identity or cooking experience.
There is another kind of "Chinese cuisine" or "island Chinese cuisine" that everyone calls "Chinese cuisine" or "island Chinese cuisine".
In fact, it is an island dish made with the concept of Chinese cuisine or seasonings.
What's the difference between them?
The difference is huge.
Chinese restaurants are everywhere in the island country, so you don't need to look for them, just look for them on a random street, and there are several of them at a glance, no less than Western and Japanese restaurants.
What does it taste like?
Just look at the fact that few Chinese people eat in these restaurants, just like the taste of Chinese food has changed after it landed in Europe, it has naturally become localized in the island country, and it has become a dish that makes people feel familiar but feel unfamiliar when eating.
Of course, what Chen Xing took the three of them to was authentic Chinese food, a Cantonese restaurant.
Why don't you go to the Sichuan restaurant, it is still Chen Xing's good heart and willingness to think about his friend's body.
If you have a French friend who has never eaten Chinese food, and you ask him if he can eat spicy food, he will definitely answer yes, and even proud...... But in fact, their ability to eat spicy food is at the level of kindergarten in Huaxia, and Chen Xing has long seen through it.
Is a bell pepper also a chili pepper? (End of chapter)
