travel starts with photography

A WeChat group with 200+ members.

Song Shulan once again sent out an emoticon expressing envy.

"I really want to go too!! It's a pity that I can't ask for leave!"

During her school days, she worked part-study, plus some living expenses from her family's recent prosperity, and saved a huge sum of [-] yuan.This amount of money is more or less, and a trip to Iceland is definitely enough.As for the food and accommodation after arriving in Iceland... isn't there Chen Xing?

Although they seldom meet each other, the frequency of chatting between the two is higher than some pure online dating, so she can't believe that Chen Xing will ignore her life when she gets there.

It's a pity that I can't ask for leave.

As for this group, from its appearance and name, it is a fan group of my brother in the entertainment industry, but everyone who joins the group claims to be Chen Xing's ex-girlfriend. After entering the group, I have to say something that I and Chen Xing have to say Story, or it will kick you the next day.

When Song Shulan first found out about this group, she was stunned.

My Ah Xing has so many ex-girlfriends?
But soon she discovered that many of the people who joined the group were making up stories. Although the male protagonist in it was named Chen Xing, his style of doing things was completely different from Chen Xing.

For example, a woman said that Chen Xing had cooked the meal at [-] o'clock in the morning and gently woke her up.

joke?

Can Chen Xing cook a meal and wake up a woman?
Based on what he knew about Chen Xing, if he cooked the meal at eight o'clock and asked Chen Xing to wake up for dinner, he would probably kick him away, and then push out the room and lock the door to provide one-stop service. Can't wake up after a nap.

And Chen Xing doesn't know how to cook, that's the most important thing.

But these are not important. The important thing is that she saw that many people in the group were posting their visas, and some people even bought air tickets and were ready to leave for Iceland today.

Maybe these Jimeis will be able to see their brother Xing in two days.

I'm so jealous.

After closing this WeChat group, Song Shulan went to Chen Xing's circle of friends to see if he had posted any new messages, and was going to watch Chen Xing's Iceland video again before going to bed.

The opening is a logo that has been used for a long time. With the rhythm of the music, there are many empty shots and quick transitions.

In these shots, there are occasional figures of Chen Xing, either walking on the mountain or by the sea.

All handsome without exception.

Song Shulan knows what kind of person Chen Xing is. Seeing this kind of video, she not only finds it fashionable and charming, but also thinks Chen Xing is very cute. This man who is only 20 years old this year is really good at playing handsome in front of the camera!

Loved it.

Before the introduction, the scenery in these shots has already made people very intoxicated.

This is also the charm of Chen Xing's travel videos.

There are a lot of people posting travel videos, and there are countless vlogs on the whole network, but Chen Xing's works have an immersive feeling, which has something to do with the video color, Chen Xing's temperament, and excellent photography works .

These short shots played for a few minutes before Chen Xing's voice finally appeared in the video.

"Iceland, a country of ice and fire, the country with the most WeChat addresses. When you mention this, what do you think of?"

"Daydreamer."

"Interstellar."

"The Song of Ice and Fire, or the beautiful aurora that you can see while sitting on your windowsill."

"The pace of life here is extremely slow. It does not border Eurasia or any other land. It is alone in the Arctic Circle. The population of the country is less than 40."

There are images of the streets of Iceland in the screen. I don’t know if there is any color correction. The images of the streets look as clear as the movie. Several people fell to the ground on a slope.

"This is Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. Yes, there are no high-rise buildings here. It looks like a small town that can be seen everywhere in Europe. It is winter and the road is slippery. When I passed by here, I heard many people Cursing after falling, these people are from different countries, different languages, different accents, so I am going to save them."

In the next scene, Chen Xing carefully stretched out his hand to pull these people from outside the camera, but accidentally slipped and rolled beside them.

They looked at each other, then laughed.

Wearing thick clothes in winter, sitting on the ground is not very painful, but a little embarrassing.

But everyone is like this, so it doesn't matter.

"It's a pity that I fell down, and the rescue was ineffective...but I brought them a smile, another way of success?"

The scene quickly cuts to a hotel room, and the camera moves forward and looks down the window.

"I live on a very famous bar street in Reykjavik, or the surrounding streets are all bar streets. My friend told me that every Friday and Saturday night, there will be bars on this bar street. It's very lively, and the bar's business hours will be from ten to four in the morning, which is comparable to our country."

"I had the pleasure of joining them on Hallowe'en, wandering the bars of this street like a skilled local...By the way, the bars here are free, even if you don't drink, they will You are welcome to join."

The last part of this video is at the hotel.

The window is partly open, the wind is strong, the curtains are fluttering, and some snowflakes can still be seen floating in?

Chen Xing sat at the table, reading a book with a lamp on.

"When I decided to release this video, Iceland was facing a snowstorm again. I couldn't go out and had nothing to do, so I made a cup of coffee and read a book given by a friend. Sometimes I don’t know if it’s at night, but winter in Iceland is always dark like this.”

"I got sleepy from reading, so I closed the windows, drew the curtains, and didn't set the alarm clock."

The screen goes black.

When it was turned on again, Chen Xing's dubbing disappeared. There was only the first perspective of a person getting up from the bed, the sound of shoes being put on, and the sound of walking. Then he opened the window and saw the aurora in the sky amidst the pure music. .

After 15 seconds, the video ends.

Hot comments in the comment area.

"Iceland, maybe Klein's blue plus a little Monet's gray, constitutes the remaining tenderness"

"I really want to go to Iceland once. I am a person who prefers to be alone. I really like this quiet place that doesn't look like the earth and is isolated from the world. I don't know when my dream will come true. Ah, I Hate you! Why did you let me see such a video!"

"The scene of Chen Xing reading a book is so handsome!!! What does the polar night in Iceland matter, you are my obsession and love in the long dark night."

"I laughed to death. I went to save people and fell down myself. Can you really laugh when something like this happens?"

"—Didn't you die laughing too?"

"After shooting time-lapse photography, or upgrading, I know how difficult this video is, and how difficult it is to adjust the color. After my grandma went to Paris for further studies, not only the photos were taken well, but the videos were also taken so well. ,sharp."

Song Shulan didn't quite understand what these people were talking about, she just thought Chen Xing was so handsome.

Randomly found a previous filming of Chen Xing and played it, put the black screen of the mobile phone beside the bed, listening to the voice inside, Song Shulan fell asleep contentedly.

Although I can't go to Iceland, I still have his voice to accompany me...

........................

Iceland.

Chen Xing has lived in Reykjavik for a long time after returning from the endurance bicycle race.

He also gradually realized the boringness of the polar night.

There are only a few scenic spots, and it’s almost done after visiting. It’s pitch black everywhere, and even if you go to other scenic spots, you can’t see anything. It also destroys the image of Iceland in his mind, so it’s better to come again in the summer.

So I read in my room every day.

Chen Xing has already read the sixth volume of the English version of "Mein Kampf" Carl's version, and Chen Xing has also read some of Jiaqian's books.

Really well written.

The writing style has been meticulously crafted, and you can't compare who is better between him and these two people now, but for books, as long as you pick them up and read them, and you get something, then that's fine.

Even the best writing has to serve the story.

When he couldn't stay in the hotel, Chen Xing would occasionally go out for a walk, take pictures on the street, and take a walk.

Reykjavik is really small. It only takes 10 minutes to walk from one end of the main street to the other. Therefore, during this week, Chen Xing explored many streets and alleys, but he still walked like this , actually also out of the feelings.

In the future, I will have another retirement place...

At the same time, Chen Xing also learned some Icelandic with the girl at the front desk of the hotel.

Reykja's means smoke in Icelandic, and Vik means konko, and together they are smoky ports.

This may be the scene that the people who first came to this city saw, because there are many hot springs in this city, and there is a lot of smoke in winter, so as the name suggests, I took a Reykjavik name.

Nordic names are relatively simple, without as many twists and turns as English and French.

It may sound beautiful and tall in China, but in fact it is just a transliteration, which feels unclear.

If you really want to call this place a smoking port, then there is no beauty at all.

There are only two iconic buildings in this small city, one is the cathedral that can be seen anywhere, and the other is Tuoning Lake. Chen Xing has been to both places and prefers to sit by the Tuoning Lake and read a book , Look at the feeling of wild ducks.

There is a very peaceful atmosphere.

As Christmas approaches, the festive atmosphere on the streets is getting stronger and stronger.

It's definitely not the kind of thick Halloween. It's Christmas and you still hang something scary at the door of your house. It's not good. Before Halloween, everyone could bear it. After all, it's an annual festival.

But if you still have it at Christmas, then maybe some grumpy people passing by will take it away for you and throw it away.

The atmosphere of Christmas is warm and positive.

When returning to the hotel from Tuoning Lake, Chen Xing always passes by a shopping plaza. Now there is a huge Christmas tree in the center of this place. Every day when Chen Xing passes by, he can see people tying wishes to this tree. It’s a bit like A wishing tree in a domestic temple.

Some people even hang the gift box directly without knowing what is inside.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to hang the gift directly in the supermarket?
Time passed quickly, and on December 12, Chen Jiaqian invited Chen Xing to his home as a guest.

Chen Xing also happened to have something to do with her, so the two agreed to meet at the door of the cathedral... This is very normal in Iceland, two people who live in different places but don't know the exact location, lost tourists looking for a tour guide, couples dating The meeting place is basically here.

Where is the other part?
Toning Lake...

These two places are more conspicuous in Iceland, and most of the people who are in Lake Toning are locals, because those tourists who get lost by accident will probably not be able to find the location of Lake Toning, but the cathedral is different. Yes, as long as the eyes are not blind, you can find it.

Chen Xing left the hotel with the sample book sent by the publishing house.

A total of five copies of this book have been sent, and two copies have been sent to Carl and Ai two days ago.

Chen Xing even opened a copy himself.

The publishing house has prepared the book for so long, and the preparatory work is still sufficient. The cover of this book has the feeling of China National Geographic. It is a landscape photo prepared by Chen Xing. In the lower left corner, there is Chen Xing. star portrait.

Originally, he didn't plan to put his own photo on it, but the publisher repeatedly promised that it would increase sales, and it would increase a lot of sales, so Chen Xing agreed.

Who can have trouble with money.

Then there's the name.

"Travel is a Life - France Travel Notes"

If the sales of this book are good, then Chen Xing will prepare a Nordic travelogue. There are many things he can write about Northern Europe, so just choose some wonderful ones to write, but it is not as detailed as this book of French travelogue.

Chen Xing saw Chen Jiaqian looking down at her mobile phone from a long distance away, and quietly went up to cover her eyes, and said in Icelandic, "Hello ma'am, I am intoxicated by your beauty, can I ask for your contact information. "

"Chen Xing, are you naive?"

"??"

"Can you guess it? It seems that my voice has not changed completely enough."

Chen Jiaqian put the phone in her pocket, and said a little speechlessly: "I think you should be here at this time, and cover your eyes to make people guess about it... I think you have a high probability of doing it."

"Ah... this!"

"Haha, but you've learned Icelandic very well."

Speaking of this, Chen Xing's complacent look can be seen from his expression.

"That's right, I'm a language genius."

Living in Iceland for nearly a month, he went downstairs every day to chat with the lady at the front desk in Icelandic, which made his Icelandic improve rapidly, and he was able to carry out some simple exchanges.

Smiles can be contagious, and Chen Jiaqian, who is holding her hands in her hands, is also full of smiles now.

Chen Xing said, "By the way, I'll give you a Christmas present."

Chen Xing took out the gift box.

The night after tomorrow is Christmas Eve, so there is nothing wrong with giving Christmas presents at this time.

"What is it?" Chen Jiaqian took it curiously.

"You'll know when you take it apart."

Chen Xing waited for her to open it. He never said in front of Chen Jiaqian that he had written a book, and it was a travelogue just like her book. Chen Xing was looking forward to her reaction after reading his book.

But Chen Jiaqian just put it away with a smile, and didn't intend to unpack it in front of Chen Xing.

She said: "Let's go, today is the winter solstice in our country, I made some glutinous rice balls, treat you to eat glutinous rice balls today."

"Is the winter solstice already?" Chen Xing said.

He doesn't remember much about these traditional festivals.

"Yes, the winter solstice is here."

Today is the winter solstice, tomorrow is the twelfth lunar month, and next month will be New Year's Eve. Time flies so fast.

At least this year, Chen Xing felt that it would pass in the blink of an eye.

Chen Xing said: "Can I go to the uncle and aunt of the hot pot restaurant first? I have something I want to buy."
