travel starts with photography

After chatting with this old hippie for a while, looking back, Chen Xing saw Hedwig standing at a loss with a bunch of leaflets in her hand, with a look that made me feel pitiful, full of protective desire, but also No one bullies her.

Chen Xing took the leaflet and said, "Dancing drama, opera... Do you want to go to the performance?"

"They gave it to me."

Chen Xing flipped through the leaflets and asked, "Then do you want to go?"

"think."

The repertoires on these leaflets can actually be seen in the houses on both sides. It seems that there are not many repertoires that can be performed in Avignon. Several of them are old operas that have been rewritten and have new performers.

After all, this is a drama festival, how can you not watch a drama when you come here?

So Chen Xing chose a classic story among these photos - the pearl fisherman.

And what Trojans are there besides, fair Hollena.There is no need to look at dance dramas. Now Chen Xing only agrees with one kind of dance drama, that is Huaxia dance. The European dances are like dancing gods. Can it be compared with oriental dance?

Chen Xing admits that this is a personal prejudice, well, anyway, he doesn't want to watch dance dramas.

He took out this flyer, shook it and said, "Then let's go to see this today, and let me, a foreign old hat, also accept the influence of elegant art."

Hedwig laughed too.

When Chen Xing saw her, he suddenly realized, and said, "You too, we two old hats."

This remark is not without purpose. Europeans think that their operas are very elegant, and look down on people from other places.It goes without saying that Chen Xing is from China. When Hedwig is not smiling, she looks like a glamorous and noble princess, but she is an American.

They agree that America is a powerful country, but art?

What art can America have?
So now that's two old hats.

Hedwig didn't care what Chen Xing said, she just nodded in agreement anyway, she believed that Chen Xing would not really make fun of her.

Perhaps it is the theater festival that made many tourists put down their airs in their hometown, and many people put on costumes and took to the streets, a bit like a comic exhibition.

Comics exhibitions are not unique to Asian countries. Europe now also holds comics exhibitions. In July this year, the Island Comics Expo was held in Paris. At that time, Chen Xing didn't have time, but many students went to participate.

It seems that no matter where the photographers are, they have no resistance to cosplay.

Some children in strange costumes, who may be pretending to be some kind of monster, will come to frighten them because they see Hedwig's beauty.

This is very annoying.

When the parents took the child away, Chen Xing snorted and said:

"That's why I hate children."

Hedwig pulled Chen Xing's arm and said, "Don't be angry."

Fortunately, after leaving the old town with the strongest festive atmosphere, this situation disappeared, and all the people I saw on the road were ordinary tourists.But without the fancy dress people and the old houses full of character, it's not much fun to take pictures.

The sun was also very bright, so they put away their cameras and went from street sweeping to... another form of street sweeping.

Although the city of Avignon is small, there are many tourists.

Many luxury and trendy stores have opened stores here. The outside of the store may look ordinary, but once you walk into these stores, you will find that the decoration of these luxury stores is dazzling. The walls are white and bright, as if inlaid Like a diamond, it is out of tune with the outside environment.

But this is luxury. They maintain their brand with gorgeous appearance, so that the value of the brand is completely covered by the value of the product itself.

Is there really such a big gap between a LV bag and a handmade bag made of calfskin by a cobbler in my hometown?
In fact, the quality is the same, the more expensive is the added value of the brand.

Anyway, it was all shopping, Chen Xing took Hedwig like an ordinary tourist, and looked from house to house on the street. When Chen Xing walked into the Chanel store, Chen Xing found a necklace that was out of stock in Paris.

"It turns out that this necklace is still here."

Hedwig took a look.

This is a platinum necklace with a small sapphire on the pendant. I don't know what material the jewelry wrapped in the sapphire is. In addition, the sapphire is about the size of a soybean, but it is very beautiful.

"This is a set of promotional photos I took for them half a year ago. Shortly after the promotional photos were released, they were out of stock in Paris. I didn't expect to see them here."

Chen Xing can't remember how many luxury goods he has photographed.

As a young commercial photographer who has gained fame in France, Chen Xing has photographed countless jewelry pieces.

The main reason is that Chen Xing can still remember the model who was photographed by him wearing this necklace.At that time, she was wearing the shimmering fish scale one-piece skirt, her figure was looming, and she wore this necklace around her snow-white neck.

Gollum~
Chen Xing couldn't help swallowing when he recalled that supermodel's figure.

He looked at Hedwig.

Compared with the supermodel last time, Hedwig has a little more flesh, but European models are always thin, so her figure is actually a bit healthier-if only she can be tricked into wearing tighter clothes sometime Already, Chen Xing thought to himself.

How did she manage to eat sweets again without gaining weight?
And she doesn't like sports. If she didn't take her out for a walk when she was free, then Hedwig could stay in her room forever.

Chen Xing pointed to the necklace and said, "Take this out."

The shopping guide in this store was full of smiles and the service was very good. After taking out the necklace Chen Xing wanted, he stood aside and waited. He did not like to recommend products to others like the shopping guides in other stores.

Chen Xing was very satisfied.

He thinks a good shopping guide should be like this.

And no matter what luxury store it is, even if you want to try Gucci's perfume, they will come up with a trial size for you to smell.If you really come across someone in a certain store who says the product is too expensive to try on, it probably means that you can't afford it and you don't want to make the effort.

Except for clothes, some clothes do have an effect after wearing them.

"For me?" Hedwig blinked.

"Well, put it on and have a look."

Hedwig doesn't have a single accessory.

No necklaces, no rings, no earrings, because they are not pierced, so her ears look beautiful.It doesn't matter, Chen Xing mainly wants to see how Hedwig wears this necklace.

Today she is wearing a sky blue print dress with a little white print.

It goes well with her skin tone.

Even if you don’t know how to dress up if you are an art student, with a little care, at least there will be no problems with the matching of your clothes. You won’t come out in colorful clothes that look trendy, but it will make people uncomfortable.

Chen Xing put the necklace on for her.

Hedwig was like a puppet the whole time.

Then Chen Xing took two steps back, clapped his hands and said, "This is perfect."

The female shopping guide also said: "This necklace is very suitable for this beautiful lady, it is almost as if it was tailor-made."

Chen Xing saw that Hedwig didn't move, and said, "Go and have a look in front of the mirror."

Didn't move.

Are people stupid?
Chen Xing waved her eyes, and found that she was looking at him, but she was a little shy, maybe she committed social terror again?Even if she didn't run back, she has improved today.

"Give me a box and no packaging."

It's fine to take it with you.

"Don't...no need, it's so expensive."

"I sold so many photos the day before yesterday. I don't know what to do with my money if I don't spend some of it. Besides, this is my birthday present to you. Wear it with peace of mind."

"Birthday?"

"Oh, I'll give it to you in advance."

The original price of this necklace was [-], but now it has increased in price. It took Chen Xing [-] to buy it, almost the price of two ordinary works - only part of the money sold for the photos was Chen Xing's, the gallery There is still a certain percentage.

After paying the money, Chen Xing walked out with Hedwig whose IQ was gradually dropping.

The necklace is so beautiful, Chen Xing couldn't bear her to take it off.

It's great to develop.

No wonder so many people like to invest money in development games now. Watching a character gradually become what they like, the sense of accomplishment is really irreplaceable by ordinary entertainment methods.

Hedwig was wondering how long it would take for him to buy a gift for Chen Xing?

Shopping, eating, feeding pigeons in the square.

Chen Xing also experienced the joy of traveling with a girl. When he felt bored, he would have someone to talk to, and when he was tired, he would sit on a park bench or rest in a coffee shop, and he would not be out of tune with the people around him.

For dinner, he was looking for a particularly famous restaurant in Avignon called avenio, which was recommended by their driver.

The location here is not easy to find, but the navigation is a great invention. Follow the navigation, go around in the alleys of Avignon, and saw this small shop on the side of a one-way road.

As soon as he entered, the waiter said: "Hi sir, are you two ordering food or eating now?"

"Now."

It's four o'clock in the afternoon, and I'm going to go to the opera after eating.

They sit outside.

Open the menu, and the title page says the origin of the avenio store. It turns out that avenio is the oldest name in Avignon. It does look a bit similar to the current French name. Now it is called avignon.

As an online celebrity shop in a tourist attraction, the prices here are very moderate.

Not cheap, but not expensive either.

The key is that the food is delicious. Chen Xing ordered a steak with tender sauce, and Hedwig ordered the cod wrapped in eggs. The cod was wrapped with fresh spinach, topped with egg yolk sauce, and covered with a few slices of high-quality ham Meat.

The taste of this combination is really amazing, but the portion is a little less.

Going shopping, eating and watching movies is a common choice for couples who have no special activities to date. If there is an amusement park nearby, it is also good to go to the amusement park.The last one, watching a movie, was changed to watching an opera by them.

The Pearl Fisherman's opera is a small theater in the old town, which can seat about two or three hundred guests.

The small theater also has the advantage of being small. Performers can perform without microphones and speakers, and even if they sit in the farthest position, they will not feel that they cannot hear the sound on the stage.

When the lights in the auditorium dimmed, the opera opened with a big chorus.

French song, the lyrics roughly mean that they live on an island for generations, people live and work in peace, earn money by taking pearls, everyone lives a good life or something.

The way opera is sung is different from normal singing now. If you have been exposed to choral performances in conservatories, you will find that professionally trained people will unknowingly use this unique opera tone when singing in chorus.

"It sounds good."

"Um... what is it singing?"

Hedwig pursed her lips, carefully discerning the meaning of the lyrics.

Her French is not as good as Chen Xing's.

Most of the plots in operas are presented through songs. If you don’t understand what is being sung, it seems a lot less fun.Chen Xing also explained the content of the opera to Hedwig while listening to the song.

Let’s say that there are three playmates who have grown up on an island that lives by picking pearls.

Two men and a woman.

The men all liked this woman, because of this matter, the two good brothers who had a good relationship with each other fought hard, but in the end the woman became a priest, and priests were not allowed to fall in love, after all, they had to be pure.

Very bloody plot.

Then the male second went away in a fit of anger and went out to work.

The first man became the leader of the island.

While explaining, Chen Xing drew a triangle symbol for these three people in his mind, with one person on the other side. Then as the plot progressed, the second male came back from working in other places, and the two men reconciled as before.

It's starting to get bloody.

The first male likes the first female, and the first female misses the second male all the time, and finally falls in love with him when the second male returns to the island.

But because she is a priest, she cannot fall in love. After being found out, the leader was furious and wanted to execute the priestess and the second man who fell in love with her according to the oath.But when things came to an end, the first man secretly let them go because he liked the first woman and was good brothers with the second man.

Hedwig looked at the actors on the stage, blinked her bright eyes, and listened carefully.

But she had a doubt and asked, "What do these stories have to do with pearl divers?"

"Um, this, I guess you'll know it after reading it, and they're all pearl divers, so it's not off topic."

Love is an eternal story.

No matter when and in what form this kind of story happens, there are people who like it and watch it. It is estimated that this kind of story will really disappear only after the extinction of human beings.

It can be said that people are the carriers of love.

In Chen Xing's opinion, this was a bloody story, but as he told Hedwig in a soft voice, and the atmosphere, color, and music combination in the opera, Chen Xing was actually immersed in it.

The leading actor is the most difficult to play in this play.

He likes the priestess, but because a female priest must be pure to serve the god, he has kept this love hidden, so when he found out that the priestess was in love with his brother, this kind of emotional outburst made the play reach the had an orgasm.

All of the audience held their breath, wondering what was going to happen next.

But also because of love, and some other things, he finally let go of everything, deceived the villagers by deceiving them, and helped the first woman and the second man escape.

Hedwig was sobbing already.

Chen Xing hugged her shoulders.

This place is designed for couples, it is very convenient for two people sitting together to get close.Unlike a movie theater, there is such a large area in the middle, it is not convenient to lean together to watch a movie comfortably.
