travel starts with photography

Chapter 122 New Talent

Compared with domestic subway stations, the space in this subway station is relatively narrow, and there are many passages. If this is not a subway station, then changing it to an escape room will be very popular. The space above the head and the surrounding tiles look very old , inexplicably reminded Chen Xing of the air-raid shelter.

When he was a child, he went to the air-raid shelter near his home. The brick wall style and arched structure inside were exactly the same as the lobby station.

"Xing, you are from Huaxia, what does the subway over there look like?"

After pondering for a few seconds, Chen Xing said: "Huaxia's subways are very wide, with bright and clean passages, and a strong sense of technology, which is completely different from here."

Abel nodded and said: "It seems that your country is developing very well now. We read from the book that China is a country comparable in size to the whole of Europe and has a history of 3000 years. When I earn enough money, I will definitely Go and see."

Chen Xing corrected: "The history of our country is far more than 3000 years. It has been more than 4700 years since the time of the Yellow Emperor recorded in documents. The cultural relics unearthed in these years are gradually confirming that era."

"More than 4000 years? We always thought it was only 3000 years."

"Maybe your textbooks are slow to respond."

Chen Xing is not a professional researcher of history, and he has only a half-knowledge of these situations.He personally thinks that Europe and the United States are intentionally or unintentionally lowering the value of China. If they don't splash a little dirty water, they are very friendly. How can they admit the 2000 years that have not been fully verified?

Huaxia is still a little conservative.

Even Europe can regard Homer's Epic as official history, so if they regard the Classic of Mountains and Seas as official history, wouldn't they beat all countries in the world.

Back to the subway issue.

Because Paris built the subway too early, a century earlier than China's subway, so their underground transportation looks so old and dim.But it is precisely because the development started very early that the underground transportation in Paris is now well-connected. It is not an exaggeration to describe that whether it is tourists or locals, most of them prefer to use the subway to travel.

Entering the subway, the arrival of the car is not much different from that in China.

Buildings can exist for a century, but cars obviously can't. The vehicles of the Paris Metro have also undergone many replacements.

When you get out of the subway, you will find the Champ de Mars at the exit.

Chen Xing saw a chestnut tree that was exuding fragrance. A couple sat on the bench under him, surrounded by vendors carrying chilled champagne. They filled champagne in transparent glasses, and a glass only cost 10 euros.

Chen Xing also saw a peddler holding a large bouquet of roses.

The Champ de Mars is an excellent location to watch the Eiffel Tower. Many pictures of the tower on the Internet were taken here. There are many couples. Selling roses here is definitely a good business. If the industry is not so expensive, one month’s income Even more than opening a shop and being the boss.

Abel ordered two glasses of champagne and said to Chen Xing.

"Thank you for letting me be your tour guide. This glass of wine celebrates our encounter."

The hawker rinses the glass with water, and then presses another valve to let the champagne in the water tank behind flow into the glass from the tap.

Chen Xing picked up the cup and looked at it for a while.

This should be the first time he drank champagne, he had only drank beer and liquor before.

This glass of wine is white with a touch of brown, and the rising bubbles make him resemble Sprite, but the light is very transparent.

Abel also got his wine glass, and said to Chen Xing: "à ta santé"

"santé"

Glasses collide in the air.

Chen Xing took a sip first, and then drank more than half of the cup in one gulp. The rich aroma first permeated the mouth, and then exploded.

And it doesn't feel spicy at all.

After finishing his drink, Abel returned the glass to the champagne seller and asked, "Do you speak French?"

"Have it?"

When have I been exposed?
Chen Xing suddenly remembered that she said something in French during the toast, and she subconsciously said the same thing.

Under normal circumstances, no one would think about what language they speak, especially the three languages ​​of Chen Xing are all native speakers. When they hear what others say, they will say it themselves, and they will not think carefully. .

"Yes, your pronunciation is very standard, santé."

"What does it mean?"

"You really don't understand? Anyway, it means cheers." Abeka looked at Chen Xing suspiciously and said.

No wonder she was confused, Chen Xing's pronunciation was too orthodox, unlike someone who didn't know French.

The two walked along the path in the park, and there were more girls selling flowers.

There are many tourists on this road. Those who get off from various means of transportation to go to the Eiffel Tower, or come back from the Eiffel Tower, will take this route. People come and go, and occasionally you can see some excitement on this road.

For example, suddenly someone knelt down.

It's not the five-body kneeling in worship, but kneeling on one knee facing the girlfriend.

So thick, it was obviously a marriage proposal.

Along the way, Chen Xing has seen two couples succeed. One of them was a temporary proposal. He didn't wear a ring, but the girl still accepted the proposal very touched, and there was applause from all around.

Chen Xing took two photos.

He thinks it doesn't matter whether he wears a ring or not. If a woman is willing to come to Paris with you, she will definitely accept your marriage proposal.

Abeka complained that the man was too careless and didn't even wear a ring.

In Europe, a wedding ring is mandatory when proposing.

After marriage, women should wear rings on their ring fingers. This tradition has been passed down from Europe and America.

They will wear their wedding rings all the time, and they can’t take them off under any circumstances. It doesn’t matter whether they are diamonds or not, or most of the wedding rings are not set with diamonds, because it will be very inconvenient when doing housework.

Abeka and Chen Xing explained the marriage culture of European countries.

Chen Xing asked while listening, feeling that he was reshaping the Three Views.

Let alone other European countries, at least the Parisian marriage traditions he learned from Abeka are completely different from the so-called Western-style weddings in China.

The ring is a symbol of marriage, and not taking it off symbolizes the unswerving marriage until death.

Powerful people can naturally buy diamond rings, but the value of diamonds is not even as romantic as engraving the names of both parties on the inside of the ring.

They don't even take wedding photos, at most they take a few engagement photos before the wedding.

Abeka also pointed to the people taking wedding photos under the iron tower in the distance and said: "Look, if you see such people anywhere in Paris, don't even think about it, even the short-sighted can guess that they are from Asia, and everyone Some are Chinese."

"..."

"This is the cultural difference. Not all Chinese people are like this. I prefer traditional weddings. The traditional weddings in our country wear bright red wedding dresses, phoenix crowns and Xiapei, which are also very beautiful."

Abeka nodded and said with a smile: "As your tour guide, you can still know a lot about China. Last month, I also received two tourists from China. They seldom talked to me, and they were often us. Talk, they just shop and nod."

While talking, they went under the Eiffel Tower again, where they met before.

Abeka said, "Shall we go up and have a look?"

"Come on, let me take a picture first."

Chen Xing took out his mobile phone and switched to shooting mode, looking for an angle in the square out of instinct.

Abeka asked, "Do you need my help filming?"

"no need."

Chen Xing found that if he wanted to take a group photo, it was best to take a section of the road just after getting off the subway, where he could take a panoramic view of the iron tower, but he could only take a partial photo when he walked under the iron tower. Thinking of this, Chen Xing brought Following Abeka, he walked back a little, to a position where he could just take a panoramic view.

They are still on the tree-lined road where many people propose. There are leaves on both sides, but the leaves are not dense in winter, so it can be used as a middle ground.

In this way, the photo becomes a close shot of Chen Xing, a middle shot of the leaves, and a distant view of the Eiffel Tower...

The system didn't require Chen Xing to take a good-looking group photo. It can only be said that Chen Xing is so strict about photography, which is why he strives for perfection in this mobile phone photo.

It is very difficult to take people as close-up shots, if you can find such photos on the Internet, and they are harmonious.

The people in it must be pretty too...

【Take a photo with the Eiffel Tower】

[Young people have their own ways of expressing love, simple, intense, and willful.People who live well often have something called obsession more than others. For this obsession, even if he is stabbed in the back by love, he must travel thousands of miles to Paris and take a photo of himself under the Eiffel Tower. Photo】

【Congratulations on getting the talent: color】

This time it's not skills, but talent?
Chen Xing first looked at the results of the system rewards, and then looked back at the long paragraph of news.

what?
Do I have to take pictures under the Eiffel Tower?
Isn't this your mission?

Chen Xing couldn't deny that deep down in his heart, he really wanted to come here to take a look, but if he compared this idea to an obsession and insisted on visiting, it would be a bit of an exaggeration.System Is this art processing?That's a pretty good point.

It just doesn't sound like you're talking about me.

Chen Xing didn’t pay attention to how to use color talent. Talent and skills are different. Skills appear directly in your mind, just like you have learned this skill for decades, and then you haven’t used it for a year or two. It’s a bit rusty and familiar. It can be used in one click.

Talent is not enough, it has to be discovered slowly in life.

For example, he doesn't know the impact of his current friendliness talent, but the effect is often beyond expectations.

In order to read the system news, he stood there for a while. Abeka curiously stood behind Chen Xing to look at the photo taken by Chen Xing. The photo was taken very clearly. The Eiffel Tower was on one side of the photo, and Chen Xing's body was on the other side of the photo. , with blue sky and leaves overhead.

In the picture, Chen Xing didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes were not as energetic as she saw in daily life, his left hand was stretched forward to hold the mobile phone, and the other hand was in his pocket.

So handsome!

Abeka felt that Chen Xing in the photo was even more handsome than in reality, those black eyes were simply amazing!

Except for the color, it seems like James McAvoy.

That was her idol, and Abeka rarely compared the men she met in reality with her idol.

When Chen Xing came back to his senses, he saw that Abeka's face was getting closer and closer to his mobile phone. He carefully looked at the picture in the mobile phone.That's right, it's the photo I took just now. With Abeka's eyes, Chen Xing thought he had opened something secret.

Putting away the phone, Chen Xing said, "Okay, if you want to take pictures, I'll take a few for you for free."

Abeka followed the phone all the way to Chen Xing's pocket, and then said, "Don't you charge for taking pictures?"

Chen Xing smiled and motioned for Abeka to stand over.

By the way, do you earn much more money as a photographer in Europe than in China?

When Chen Xing came to Paris, he felt that everything was very expensive. Food was expensive, accommodation was expensive, and even taking the subway was much more expensive than in China. The shortest one-way subway cost 1.9 euros, almost 14 yuan, which was several times more expensive than Huaxia.

After taking a few pictures in a row, Chen Xing sat on the bench and checked the photos, while Abeka asked beside him, "I can't see clearly, how did you take the picture?"

"It's not bad, the camera's picture is a bit small, it will be fine to transfer it to your mobile phone tomorrow."

Covering the camera, Chen Xing raised his head and moved his cervical spine, thinking about the photo he just took.

It turns out that this is the talent of color, which improves my sensitivity to color.

Abeka thought that Chen Xing was looking at the tower, so he took the initiative to introduce: "When this tower was first built, Parisians hated him very much, thinking that such a tall building standing here would destroy the cityscape of Paris."

"why?"

"Maybe it's because our city buildings are not tall, and the appearance of the iron tower is too obtrusive, so it's annoying, but the situation got better in my grandfather's generation, we gradually accepted the existence of the iron tower, and deeply love it."

Chen Xing smiled, and found Abeka's theory quite interesting, and asked again: "Then what do you think of the Eiffel Tower?"

"Didn't I say it? Deep love."

She accentuated the deep love.

Chen Xing nodded, stood up and looked at the dense queues under the iron tower, and asked, "How much does it cost to queue up?"

"The fee to go to the top of the tower is 25 euros, and there is a restaurant on it. The taste is not bad, but it is difficult to make an appointment. It needs to be a long time in advance. Do I need to make an appointment?"

"What about the fee? Let me give up." Chen Xing said jokingly.

His money is enough to live in Paris for a month, but it’s fine to go in and out of these luxury stores. For Chen Xing, the restaurant on the tower is a luxury store. Compared to the countless restaurants on the street, this place is flashy.

People queuing up to take the elevator rubbed shoulders. The long wait and intensive contact during the queuing process made Chen Xing start to think about whether to go up today.

He wanted to stand on a high place and see the scenery of Paris.

But if you climb the Eiffel Tower, you can certainly see the scenery, but the only thing missing is the Eiffel Tower itself, which is the most representative of Paris.
