travel starts with photography

Chapter 320 Bigger and Stronger, Greater Glory

Seth was a little excited today, and pulled Chen Xing to reminisce about the topics they talked about before.

Just say a word.

Bigger and stronger, create greater glories!
Chen Xing didn't shoot his first representative work until the second half of this year, and not long after, two pictures appeared at once.

Among them, the work named "Setting Sun" by Chen Xing is in the same line as the previous series of photos, which also means that it will not worry about selling.And "Wearing the Stars and Wearing the Moon" is not an artistic style, and European rich people may not buy it.

But this kind of work is really able to spread widely.

Even if Chen Xing doesn't produce any more works in the future, he plans to buy a piece of land for retirement.Hundreds of years later, everyone will almost forget about Chen Xing, but this photo may still be circulated in some places, and even appear in textbooks.

The spirit contained in the work is the most precious part of this work.

Chen Xing also agreed with his words, and when he finished talking, he said: "You can sell the Loulan one, and I will show it first as you said, maybe I will have other uses in the future."

Many humanistic works are of a public welfare nature, maybe Chen Xing will donate this photo in the future.

It's great to take an artistic photo that is liked by others, but it is every photographer's deepest dream to take this kind of humanistic work.Just like many web writers always hope that their works will be adapted into film and television dramas.

Putting down his phone, Chen Xing had already arrived at the bus station in Qiang County.

He wants to buy a ticket here to go to the train station in Bazhou.

There were a few people around who looked at him curiously, Chen Xing gave them a friendly smile before going to the windowsill to buy a ticket.

There are almost no foreigners in Qiang County, so naturally you can’t hear foreign languages. After Chen Xing has been on the phone for so long at the station, the children waiting for the bus will naturally come to look at him curiously... Even if they I don't understand.

Everything in Xijiang is good, the scenery is good, the consumption is moderate, and there are many delicious foods.

But the road is too far.

It takes several hours to drive from one county to another, and it is even farther if you cross a city. Maybe you have to find a place to stay for one night on the way.

It's so troublesome in the 21st century. You can imagine how inconvenient the traffic here was when there were no cars.When Ban Chao settled in the Western Regions, it would not take much effort to fight, and the biggest problem must have been on the road.

………………

There are many scenic spots in this part of the ancient Western Regions. The Loulan ruins have closed the tourist channel, so I won’t talk about it. There are almost no foreign tourists in Qiang County. Chen Xing stayed there for a few days, and the people he saw were basically locals.

Dunhuang is different.

As soon as Chen Xing got out of the car, he felt the difference between Dunhuang and Bazhou. People with non-local accents walked around Chen Xing all the time, carrying bags and hats. 80.00% of them were tourists.

In cities related to tourism, the facilities at stations and these places are definitely very good.

But Chen Xing really didn't expect that the station of a county-level city is so much more beautiful than that of Bazhou city.

A county-level city has the name of a city, but it is still a county, and it also manages some small towns and villages under it.The difference is only in the support of the province, or some reasons that are not easy to say.

For example, does anyone know what city Dunhuang is located in?
Jiuquan.

Everyone in the country knows that there is Dunhuang, but when it comes to Jiuquan, people only know that it is a place to launch satellites.

Chen Xing also wore a hat like other tourists.

The hot weather is one thing, and more importantly, the environment here is relatively dry, and there are many wind and sand. Wearing hats and masks can effectively prevent wind and sand. Otherwise, the physique of foreigners will blow and knot their hair after walking around here. up.

Chen Xing was very lucky during this time, and the weather was good wherever he went.

But after arriving in Dunhuang, this kind of luck was a little bit worse. He encountered a windy and sandy weather, and the time was a bit late. He didn't want to go to Mogao Grottoes now, so he went to the Dunhuang Museum first.

In the past, he didn't like visiting museums very much, and he didn't think it was interesting.

But when there is nothing to do in Paris, because many museums are free to students, you can go to see the exhibits inside after school to improve your aesthetic level, and gradually find a little fun in looking at antiquities.

After all, Chen Xing likes ancient architecture, which is also a reflection of the aesthetics of the ancients.

The color of the exterior of the Dunhuang Museum is the same as the overall color of the Western Regions. It looks rustic, but if you look closely, it is a kind of historical accumulation.

The museums in each city are designed by the best designers at home and abroad, and the designers will design the appearance of the museum specifically for the characteristics of a place.No one said that a museum can be built by just finding an engineering team.

This is impossible.

Even if this kind of building is built, it will be complained about because it has no characteristics.

Most of the exhibits in the Dunhuang Museum are related to the Mogao Grottoes, and there is even a one-to-one prototype of the Mogao Grottoes. Chen Xing went in to have a look, and looked forward to tomorrow's trip to the Mogao Grottoes.

Some murals look a bit like children's graffiti, but looking at the age, the Xia Dynasty hadn't even appeared at that time, right?
There are a lot of people around a place that looks like a dinosaur. Everyone is discussing whether the painting is a dinosaur or not. The discussion has not been closed until a guide comes with a few tourists who have paid for the explanation service. Mouth ready to hear what people say.

Chen Xing didn't find a guide, so he rented a guide to watch it by himself.

The exhibits in the museum have a number. After you enter the number, someone else’s recorded explanation of the exhibits will come from the headset. It is also very convenient, but it lacks some interactivity.

Now that AI is getting more and more developed, when visiting museums in the future, everyone will have an AI explanation. It is estimated that more people will come to visit museums.

You don't need to know the story of the scenery when you go to the scenic spots outside, but no one tells the story of the cultural relics. Looking at it yourself is like looking at an ordinary porcelain bowl.

It's the same with Chen Xing and his photo exhibitions. The photographers often explain the shooting stories of the photos, their own ideas and so on in the exhibition hall.

Walking out of the museum, Chen Xing saw that it was getting dark, so he searched the Internet for any food courts nearby.

But as soon as he took out his mobile phone, he was surrounded by several people.

Chen Xing was not in a hurry, because standing in front of him were a few young girls, and by looking at their expressions, he could tell that they were probably coming to get in touch, but Chen Xing had never seen this kind of posture before, like blocking a road and robbing like.

He smiled with experience and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Are you... Chen Xing?"

Chen Xing suddenly understood, it turned out that it wasn't the strike-up, but a few fans.

"Hiss!" He took off his hat, scratched his head, re-cut his hair, put on the hat again, and said very puzzled:
"It's me, but you can recognize me like this?"

He wore a white baseball cap and a disposable mask, so he couldn't see his hair or face. How did these people find me?How strange.

The girls got even more excited when they took their hats.

Before Chen Xing could open his mouth, he had already confirmed his identity.

"I recognize you! We know you're coming to Dunhuang, and we've been out for the past two days to see if we can meet you. Many of them are waiting at the station. We think you'll definitely come to visit this museum when you come to Dunhuang, so It’s always been a matter of luck.”

She was so happy that she jumped a few times.

"Really hit it! Great!"

Chen Xing also chuckled, with a down-to-earth smile, then looked at the time and asked, "You guys haven't had dinner yet, have you? Find a place and I'll treat you to dinner. Thank you for your kindness."

"Really?"

A girl couldn't believe it.

Chen Xing is a big star, is he so kind?Invite them to dinner?
"Really, how many people did you say were at the station?"

Anyway, they all have to eat, he thought it doesn't matter if there are more people or less, and it won't cost much.

Treating guests is a temporary decision.

The youngest of this group of girls seems to be about 15 years old, and most of them are middle and high school students. It is not easy to meet them for two days just to meet them once, so let's satisfy their ideas.

It can also improve your affinity among fans.

"more than ten."

That's only twenty people in total, Chen Xing waved his hand: "Then let's go together, are you guys looking for a place or am I looking for a place?"

It was not the first time Chen Xing had dinner with fans, but there were not so many people.

He stayed in Arles for a long time, and he often had to find time to go to the arena to explain his works to others.This kind of regular job makes it easy to meet those Chinese tourists who come here just for Chen Xing.

Chen Xing also invited these people to dinner.

The happy looks of these girls also relieved Chen Xing's pressure, and the exhaustion of sitting in the car for such a long time today was swept away.

They called a few fans who were still waiting at the station, and then, under Chen Xing's reminder, told these people not to post on Moments or talk about it in the fan group.

Chen Xing can invite [-] people, find a better restaurant and order a big round table to sit down, and everyone can chat.But that's fine with two hundred people. Chen Xing has never been born and is not engaged, so why invite hundreds of people to dinner is not a banquet.

They can't find a good restaurant.

Chen Xing rummaged through Dianping, called several private restaurants, and finally found a private restaurant with empty seats.Although there are no big round tables, there are three round tables in one room, and it won't be crowded for twenty people.

These private dishes have always been booked in advance, but if you make a few more phone calls, you will always come across one or two restaurants that have been canceled for various reasons.

"Wow really!"

"You didn't lie to us?"

The girl who took a taxi from the station in a hurry couldn't walk anymore, so she stood on the side of the road to confirm, and then ran to Chen Xing with great vigor.Chen Xing took off his hat and said, "It's me, don't look, is there anyone else?"

"There are still a few who didn't get a taxi, they'll be here soon! Ahhh, I'm so happy!!"

"Hello, Brother Chen, my name is Wang Tingyu, and I am the manager of the fan group here in Dunhuang..."

"Thank you." Chen Xing said with a smile.

Most of his male fans are in the photography group, Chen Xing added one or two of these groups, and the large number of fans are all female fans, and they are also very manageable. This kind of group has more Chen Xing, but they are basically from Rongcheng group, and there is a national group regardless of region.

Song Shulan is the group leader of several of the big groups, and because she has a good relationship with Chen Xing, many people in other groups admire her, and she looks like a big fan.

The location of this private kitchen is on the third floor of a relatively lively street, and the boss personally came down to pick up the people, otherwise Chen Xing would not be able to find out how to get up here.

The boss is also a chef, and he is under 50 years old, but this shop has been open for more than ten years.

Honeycomb ranks high.

Honeycomb's restaurant rankings can basically be ignored in foreign countries, but the domestic ones are still objective, and Chen Xing has not stepped on any thunder on it.

The current certain group is the app with the most catering minefields. According to the above rankings, go to the scenic spots to eat. Put aside whether it is delicious or not, it must be more expensive.You can't find it yet, because you won't live in this place for a long time.

If you really want to stay longer, who will watch a certain group?

If you live for a long time, you will find that there are many good and cheap places nearby.

The small room with three tables was chattering. Chen Xing supported his head with one hand and listened to their chatting. When he asked himself, he nodded and gave a friendly answer. However, he suddenly thought of a question and asked:

"Have you talked to your parents?"

They are all very young girls, and it is almost evening, and if they are brought by themselves to eat and not go home, their parents should not worry about death?
He just forgot about it.

In the past, when he brought others to dinner, he was an adult, and it didn't matter whether he went home or not. Female high school students are definitely different.

"Ah! I forgot!"

"Me too!"

"My mother called just now."

There was a sudden commotion in the room... I forgot about it.

My idol wants to treat me to dinner, who remembers home in this mood!

"I...go!" Chen Xing patted his forehead, wanted to swear but changed a word halfway, but the meaning was the same.

"You guys call now, or they should be worried."

The boss was cooking in the kitchen, and a waiter wearing a cheongsam stood straight at the door. Hearing what these people said, his opinion of Chen Xing changed slightly.

She saw Chen Xing bring a group of girls to dinner, and listened to some idols, and thought that Chen Xing was a little fresh meat whose name she didn't know.

Because this person looks so handsome, it's unreasonable for him not to be a star.

Didn't someone go to prison because of fans before? She thought that Chen Xing was also this kind of person, and she wanted to help these girls look at him, so as not to be deceived.

Now that Chen Xing took the initiative to contact the parents of these girls, they were relieved.

She secretly smiled, then immediately returned to a professional smile, and listened carefully to these chats... It was also the first time she saw a celebrity. Although she didn't know what kind of celebrity Chen Xing was, she must be famous to have so many fans.

photo?

photographer?
It turned out to be a photographer. Can a photographer have so many fans now?
