Chapter 436: The Festival Starts

While waiting for the food to be served, Seth grabbed his tablet.

"The person who contacted us is called Kenji Moriyama, who is in charge of photography at this art festival, and I have checked it, and his background is not small, he has something to do with the master photographer Daido Moriyama of the island country, and he is also the deputy director of the Kyoto City Museum, and he has a high voice in the circle of the island country."

Chen Xing nodded.

Only such a person can curate a solo exhibition for him in the festival.

"Now we are considering providing three sets of works, mainly the photos you took in Dunhuang, and the Huaxia Countryside series as a foil...... Ancient Town, Ancient Town series is okay, right?" Seth saw that Chen Xing wanted to open his mouth to explain, so he hurriedly changed his words.

Chen Xing rolled his eyes, didn't grasp the matter, thought about it and said, "How many photos do I still have that haven't been sold?"

"There are only about 20 of them, basically your set of Huaxia Ancient Town series, your set is very strange, a few collectors like it very much, but most people and places like art museums don't quite accept your set, so they left so much."

The heavy oriental charm is Chen Xing's photographic style, but it is too stylized, and fewer people will accept it.

"What then, take it all out?"

"No." Seth hurriedly shook his head, "Although this is a small photography exhibition, the two sets of works are still a little too stingy, haven't you taken any of them recently?"

In the restaurant, Chen Xing looked at Seth, and the three people who came from the gallery looked at him.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Fortunately, the waiter came up with the dish at this time, this waiter is an island country, but Chinese is okay.

"The dish is here, please use it slowly."

This sentence interrupted the atmosphere of several eye contacts.

"Is there a real one?" Seth couldn't believe it, Chen Xing was famous for his fast gunner when he signed with the gallery, how long has it been since the last submission?

Chen Xing shook his head.

Then before the others spoke, he hurriedly said: "It's not that I didn't take it, I was not in my hometown some time ago, but I was in Rongcheng, and most of the photos I took were that kind of documentary works, black and white style, if this kind of photo can be used, I can take out a few."

Since his debut, his advantage is color grading, and it is because he takes too many of these photos that he will take a batch of black and white to change his mood.

After all, this year's deadline is still very early, so there is no pressure.

"Black and white? Documentary?" Seth's tone paused, Chen Xing thought he wanted to say that this couldn't be used, but Seth immediately slapped the table and said loudly, "Great, black and white is good."

"What?" Chen Xing didn't react.

Seth put down his unaccustomed chopsticks and explained, "Are you thinking that the black and white photos are different from your previous style? Think black and white is unpopular?"

Without waiting for Chen Xing to answer, he continued: "Wrong, you are really wrong, you just debuted for too short a short time, and you may not have heard of how other masters became famous, right? Who is truly a world-famous master who has not made a few sets of black and white documentary works?"

Jane Eyre nodded while eating, and said, "When fame arrives, documentary works sell better."

Chen Xing looked at a few of them and said tentatively, "Can that work?"

"Sure, what did you shoot, let's see."

Speaking of which, Seth was not too hungry, and the meals on the table were basically wiped out by Jane Eyre, and Chen Xing was on the side and Seth was picking out photos.

There aren't many photos taken during this time.,It's all in the USB drive that you carry with you.,You can choose it by plugging it into the tablet.。

The photos are not repaired, the documentary works are very simple, you only need to press the shutter to make the film, and if you like black and white, you can adjust the camera to black and white in advance.

Documentary works are like this, they don't need any retouching, and if they are taken out to participate in the competition, the official will find that your photos have been retouched and the retouching software may cancel the qualification.

Chen Xing paddled the tablet, and one by one the black and white photos were crossed out.

"Most of these photos were taken in Rongcheng, but there are also some mountain towns in eastern Sichuan and plains in western Sichuan......

It can be said that it is all around Rongcheng.

Seth liked the photos taken by Chen Xing very much, and after admiring them one by one, he asked, "Doesn't this look like the first time you have taken it?"

"I used to shoot a little bit when the technology wasn't so mature." Chen Xing said.

When he was in Xi'an, he took a lot of photos of this kind of humanistic documentary, but the feelings at that time were definitely not as much as those in Sichuan Province.

Seth didn't have a good choice, so he simply gave the choice to Chen Xing.

"You pick, we're going to ...... Six?"

It's hard to choose, Chen Xing's ancient town series is not popular in Europe, but this is Asia, or the island country most deeply influenced by Chinese culture, there are many people who like Chen Xing's ancient town series, and after this exhibition, maybe ten pairs of eight pairs can be sold.

The documentary photos are not worried about selling, and Seth is ready to take them back to Europe.

"Okay, I'll pick it myself."

"You have to hurry, you have to give it to me before tonight, the 22nd festival officially starts, and we have to give others time to prepare."

"Don't worry."

If it is the first time to open this kind of exhibition, Chen Xing may still have difficulty in choosing, thinking that this one is better, and the other one is not bad, as if it can be printed out for others to show. But now that I have more personal development, I don't have so many ideas.

Just choose a few of the works marked with five stars.

………………

The number of tourists on the streets of Kyoto has increased visibly, and the number of people wearing modern clothes has changed from the previous days to the fact that most women are wearing kimonos, yukata are going out, people on the streets are wearing makeup for these people, and tourists are waiting in the back.

As soon as the beauty came, the photographer with the camera smelled it.

Everyone understands the three elements of photography.

The day the festival begins.

Seth was not too calm, and went to the museum with his assistant and Jane Eyre early in the morning, and Chen Xing looked out the window when he got up, good guy, the road was full of people.

Today, this street is closed to vehicles, it is clean, and the crowd is standing on both sides, and the road in the middle is prepared for the *** team that will come over in a while, and the onlookers are also very qualified, even if they are crowded into sardines, no one crosses the line to go to the middle road.

The shops also have brand-new signs, which look like flags, either red or purple, which is very eye-catching. There are also many people selling around the festival on the side of the road, and 70% of the people are wearing the traditional costumes of the island country, which is a great environment for shooting Japanese atmosphere.

Chen Xing is not interested in ***, he watched the rehearsal a few days ago and felt that the dance that the group of men squatting and dancing was really ugly.

What to wear to go out today, he has already been prepared.

A set of Wei and Jin style Hanfu. (End of chapter)
