travel starts with photography

Chapter 248 I Will Be Your English Teacher
That's kind of a pity.

Chen Xing quite likes documentaries. He thinks this type of film is more meaningful than movies and TV series.

Moreover, the travel videos he recorded before can also be regarded as documentaries.

The ones posted on the beep site are still unrecognizable, but after Chen Xing re-edited and dubbed the video, the video posted on Youtube is almost no different from a documentary, which is why it has attracted nearly 50 fans in such a short period of time.

The train station has arrived.

Chen Xing was carrying a bunch of luggage, and he hadn't settled down yet when he returned to Paris, so he had to go to Arles with Professor Nobel.

Fortunately, he didn't bring anything back from Africa. Before leaving, Chen Xing went to the market in Tanzania for an afternoon. He felt that it was meaningless to bring back the things there, so he just bought a souvenir made of rope as a souvenir.

He didn't tell Hedwig in advance that he was coming back.

So that's fine.

Professor Nobel probably got distracted by what Chen Xing asked just now, and they didn't say anything for the first half of the time after getting in the car, and the two of them just leaned on the chair to rest.

But Nobel has always been a person with a big heart, an old photographer, who hasn't experienced anything in decades.

Photographers are not necessarily travelers, but they must have been to many places and experienced many things.

In this industry, Shilipo Sword God has no basis for existence.

So after being broken by his lover, Professor Nobel emmm returned to normal after a while, woke up Chen Xing who was sleeping across from him, and asked, "How much do you know about the Arles Photography Festival?"

"I knew it was the best photography festival in the world."

The corners of Nobel's mouth turned up, but he still reminded Chen Xing: "Don't say that outside, Paris Photography Month and New York Photography Festival are also very good, each has its own sphere of influence, it can only be said that each has its own characteristics."

"I remember."

"After this time, I will introduce some of my friends to you, but you also need to get to know the young photographers of today. The young photographers today are very good, and there have been a lot of them in the past few years. I don’t understand the style, you have to be especially careful about the island photographer named Yamazaki, many people in the organizing committee prefer his work.”

"Thank you, teacher."

Photographers under the age of 30 are called young photographers, and many of them have not studied photography seriously, and they can eat this bowl of rice only by virtue of talent.

If Chen Xing hadn't obtained the skills given by the system, he would probably be one of these people if he explored it by himself.

Professor Nobel really had nothing to say to Chen Xing. From the interview, he made it clear that he liked Chen Xing's works. Originally, he went directly to the fourth grade for an internship, so that the school could directly prostitute a mature photographer for free.

But he felt that even if Chen Xing had a good foundation in photography, what if he lacked other areas?
So Chen Xing was transferred to the third grade and studied for a few more months.

What Professor Nobel now regrets is that Chen Xing should not have been exposed to commercial photography. How much money can this thing make?But wasting a lot of precious time to shoot works without copyright for others, this is a great waste of talent.

………………

The small city of Arles saw a surge in tourists during this period.

There are forty photography exhibitions, large and small, all over the scenic spots in Arles. Visitors who come here only need to see some photography exhibitions opened in the scenic spots on the way to visit the scenic spots in Arles.

In order to see as many works as possible during the travel time, tourists seem to be in a hurry.

Tourists can be seen running everywhere in the streets and alleys.

It was in such an environment that Chen Xing came to Arles with the professor.

They lived in a friend's house of the professor. If it wasn't like this, they wouldn't be able to book a room in Arles now, unless someone didn't want to come and check out temporarily, but this would also be snatched away by someone who had been staring at them in an instant.

The friend of the professor is an old man who is about 80 years old and lives alone. He is not a photographer, but as a resident of Arles, he has a lot of photographic works in his home.His family's house is quite big, and there are three empty bedrooms besides the room he lives in.

Professor Nobel has been running around today and is a little tired. He wants to rest here for a day.

But Chen Xing's stamina and physical strength are far beyond ordinary people. After putting down his luggage, he went out with a camera. He was wearing a light blue sun hat, a striped shirt and a thin M51 windbreaker. people.

Compared with Paris, the weather in Arles is hot and dry, and the sun's ultraviolet rays are very strong.

Therefore, if you don’t want to wear sunscreen or get tanned, you can’t just show your shoulders outside, otherwise, when you go back to the hotel after a day of shopping, you will find a huge color difference on your arms and chest.

And Europeans and Americans generally do not open umbrellas under the sun.

If someone is holding a parasol on the road, you don’t need to look to know that most of them are tourists from China, Japan, and South Korea. The strange face is tourists from other European and American countries... As for the locals in Arles?

They have long been used to such a scene, and even some people who don't want to tan, they have learned to hold an umbrella in the sun.

Chen Xing followed the navigation and went straight to Arènes d'Arles.

This French word means Arles Arena, which is the Arles version that Chen Xing has heard many times, the ancient Roman Colosseum.

Photographers participating in the exhibition have another way to enter, but Chen Xing still queues up to enter from the position where tourists enter.

The appearance of this Colosseum is really beautiful. The outer wall alone is 20 meters high. There are not too complicated carving patterns on the wall, but it does not reduce the simple style here and the charm after being washed by time.

I heard that from a height, the length and width of this arena are all [-] meters away.

100 meters doesn't seem like much?

This is just what it sounds like, but actually measured with feet, 100 meters is definitely not a small distance, and this building is not flat, it is 20 meters high and can easily accommodate 2 to [-] people.

After entering, Chen Xing saw arches all around, big and small, about 80 of them.

He first took a lot of photos about this building, and then he formally went to visit the works inside.

This venue is one of the main venues of this photography exhibition. The selected ones are all the best young photographers, and then the organizing committee will select the best works among them, and put the ones they like here exhibits in the venue.

Professor Nobel likes to call this an exhibition of new photographers, but in fact it should be called new photographers.

If you are a rookie, the scope is much larger than that of a rookie, and the competition among everyone will be more intense.

The photography festival was just held in July, and it will end in September. Today, the whole month of August is the month with the most tourists visiting the photography festival. Tourists coming and going around speak different languages.

On the left is a sentence of Sawadhika, and on the right is an sentence of Aniha C yo.

If people who are not proficient in seven or eight languages ​​come here, won't the CPU be wiped out?

Chen Xing can speak three languages ​​now, but that's okay.

He doesn't have to think about how to convert a sentence spoken by others into the meaning of his native language. For him, the other two languages ​​are as familiar as his native language, and his brain can know the meaning without translation.

There is an Asian section in this photography exhibition.

I don't know if Huaxia has a card now, but his Asian sign is written in English, French and Chinese.

As soon as Chen Xing came over, he stared at the sign.

God TM Asia.

I'm still in the home country.

Almost every tourist has to pass by this road, but most of them are tourists from Asia. The work of the island country is placed in the first picture, which is very conspicuous, and many people stand pointing at this work.

This is a scene in the forest.

At least Chen Xing thought so.

He also looked at it for a long time, so long that an island girl next to him thought that Chen Xing was also an islander, and she approached him enthusiastically in Japanese.

The looks and the tone are cute.

In Chen Xing's eyes, Japanese is very magical. The same sentence, just because the modal particles used by men and women are different, the feeling of saying it is completely different, like watching a romance anime.

Chen Xing didn't understand what she was saying, but after sizing her up, she felt pretty good, so after watching the black man for a month, his heart became a little restless... If I get it, I will be honoring the country, right?Chen Xing thought so.

He shook his head quickly and said in English, "Excuse me, I don't understand Japanese, can you speak English?"

Then the woman showed a embarrassed expression: "A little bit."

It turns out that I am not a Chinese.

Fukuhara Hinako felt it was a pity. She traveled to France with her companions.Her best friend is very good, and she can speak a little English and French, but she is an ordinary college student, and she can cope with the domestic exams, but it is difficult to communicate with people who can really speak English.

Chen Xing asked: "What do you think of Mr. Yamazaki's works?"

Finally, a person from an island country chatted with him. Of course, Chen Xing wanted to ask people from their own country what they thought of this work.

Forgive Chen Xing for being ignorant, he really can't see how beautiful this work is compared to his own.

"I don't know much about this. This is a forest in Kyoto City. There are many cherry blossoms, peach trees and so on. Every year, these two kinds of flowers will bloom one after another, making this hillside full of charming floral fragrance for a long time... I When I saw this work, I felt as if I could smell the fragrance, so I can’t comment on it.”

She stumbled a lot in English, and Chen Xing had to guess many words.

But at least I understood it.

Chen Xing looked at him and saw that there seemed to be no other companions around her, so he suddenly took her arm and walked two steps aside, and asked with a normal expression: "Then what do you think of this group of works? "

Hinako Fukuhara was taken aback, her heartbeat soared to one hundred and eight in an instant.

But soon I found that I didn't feel panic or fear, but just felt a little shy, but this shyness also recovered quickly with the reaction.

"Are you from Huaxia?"

"Ah."

This answer also made Hinako Fukuhara heave a sigh of relief. She had no objections to the Huaxia people, but if Chen Xing was a stick, she might really have to leave.If the family knew that she had been chatting with a stick man for so long, they would break her legs and ground her.

Up to now, the islanders hate the South Korean stickman the most.

If you want to ask Chen Xing, he hates it. He can't wait for the stick to destroy the country. The men in the island country suddenly die of sudden illness, and then the island country merges into China and becomes the Cherry Blossom Province. Tsk, it's perfect.

"You haven't said it yet, what do you think of this group?"

Of course Chen Xing was asking about his own work.

He has seen his own work for a long time, but he has been studying the island forests captured by the photographer named Yamazaki.

Now that there are other people, Chen Xing also wants to ask other people's opinions.

Hinako Fukuhara also just entered this exhibition hall, and now she just saw the pictures taken by the photographer named Chen Xing, and she was immediately amazed.

The large-format scenery shows a quiet village in the mountains. The quaint yellow warm-toned lighting makes this mountain village full of warm stories and atmosphere. clam down.

It looks like a photograph, but it even feels like a painting.

"Si Guoyi, so beautiful."

She was obviously captured by this work. This girl might be a little short-sighted, so she got so close that the local staff responsible for guiding tourists all came over to warn her.

"Tourist! Please take two steps back!"

"sorry Sorry!"

She took two steps back in a panic, and Chen Xing reached out to help her.

"You look at it so seriously, do you like this set of photography works?"

"I'm really sorry, my English is too bad, can I call my friend and ask her to be an interpreter for us?"

"If you want, you can. But I think you are cute like this. I can teach you English, and you can also teach me Japanese. How about it? Do you want me to be a free English teacher?"

Hinako Fukuhara touched her face.

So handsome!
So handsome!
What kind of girlfriend is she, and she was asked to translate for me and the handsome guy?
I must be crazy.

Immediately, he didn't mention the matter of finding a girlfriend to come over, and even thought that she should disappear as soon as possible, and it was best not to appear in front of himself and the handsome guy in this exhibition hall.

Thinking of Chen Xing's question just now, Hinako Fukuhara said in admiration:

"This group of works is estimated to be the most deeply felt by us Asians. The scenery is beautiful, the village is also very quiet, and there are various styles, but there is a unified style of architecture. From this group of works, we can clearly see the extreme of these things. , there is a kind of beauty of sorrow."

"Worry?"

"This is a creative concept of our island country. Dialectically clarifying an emotion is to understand the sorrow of things. Er, can you understand my English? It's hard for me to express the meaning of this part, please forgive me ..."

She speaks poorly, but Chen Xing is more sensitive to art.

It was quickly understood.

The island country seems to like this kind of tone thing, and the concept is simply the expression of true feelings.

When people come into contact with the external world, they feel emotions when they touch the scene, feel things, move their hearts, and feel something. At this time, the emotions that emerge naturally at this time are joy, anger, fear, sadness, twilight, or nostalgia. look forward to.

People who have such emotions are those who understand the sorrow of things.

Isn't it just a 'gentleman'?

There's something about the little devil, so gimmicky, I almost didn't understand it.

"Then what do you think is better between my... um, this group of works, or the previous one."

"I prefer the works of your Huaxia photographers," she said.
