travel starts with photography

Bai Yuzhu had a silly expression and looked confused. Maybe she couldn't keep up with Chen Xing's out-of-the-box thinking.

One second I was talking about Buyi drama, asking me to translate what the people on the stage said, and the next second I asked myself to take photos for him, but my photos didn’t look good.

She felt that her skills were average and she didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of Chen Xing.

"Oh, do me a favor, I'll tell you the password..." Chen Xing said, patting the phone on Bai Yuzhu's hand.

When I play photography in life, what I pursue is to record life.

Chen Xing is a person who likes to share the joy of his life. Every time he travels, he writes some travel notes, columns, essays, etc. on travel websites. He also likes to post in Moments to see what his friends and fans will do. say something.

Many people who follow him will complain that Chen Xing himself appears in too few scenes.

But if there is a photographer following him, then who wouldn't want to post more photos of himself in his circle of friends - at least Chen Xing is not ugly, right?

Leave the filming work to Bai Yuzhu, and you can be lazy and watch the show seriously.

Chen Xing has confirmed with Bai Yuzhu that these three old men in ancient costumes are the Three Immortals of Fortune, Luxu and Shou.

Meeting these three gods when the New Year is about to come is considered as a blessing for the next year. After all, it is the dream of every Chinese to be promoted and make a fortune, be as blessed as the East China Sea, and live as long as the Southern Mountains.

Buyi Opera is a folk drama of ethnic minorities, and most of it is a performance derived from a worship ceremony. The scene is definitely not as luxurious as Peking Opera and Yue Opera, but there is still a large band, and those people hold Yueqin, Erhu and flute in their hands.

There is also a bamboo instrument that Chen Xing has never seen before. Its shape is to cut half of the bamboo and then cut it into two-thirds, leaving the bottom of the bamboo.

In this case, if a person holds on to the upper section and pulls and loosens it, the toughness of the bamboo will make them close quickly and make a very crisp sound.

Very rhythmic.

Bai Yuzhu used her energy to find a shooting location in the scenic spot, quickly took the first photo of Chen Xing, and showed it to Chen Xing anxiously.

"You look at this?"

Chen Xing took the phone and looked at his profile in the photo.

To be honest - it's okay.

After all, he is handsome and looks good no matter how he is photographed, but he cannot just take pictures of himself. He does not have the most important thing to express on stage.

"Okay, let's take some more pictures first. Take pictures on the stage. Now I'll give you my cell phone. If no one calls, you can wait until we get back and give it to me."

Neither WeChat nor QQ will pop up on his phone, otherwise there would be too many messages every day.

Chen Xing also remembered, and then entered WeChat to see who was looking for him.

As for Twitter, Facebook and other software, he cannot receive messages on his mobile phone without turning on the circumvention software.

So under normal circumstances his mobile phone is still very quiet.

Bai Yuzhu looked serious as if she had accepted some difficult task, but Chen Xing himself was watching the show leisurely.Although he couldn't understand all the lines, the style of performance by the opera actors was very impressive.

Especially one of the people who played the role of Bao Gong walked up from behind the stage with a very deliberate step, and his domineering attitude was almost overwhelming.People who understand the lines can certainly feel the story to the greatest extent, but if you don't understand it, watching such excitement will feel like the trip is worthwhile.

Ten minutes passed quickly and the weather turned gloomy.

Sure enough, just as Chen Xing said, it will rain today, and judging from the sky conditions at this moment, the rain may not be light.

"Why is it raining?"

"The weather forecast says there will be no rain today? MMP, it's wrong again!"

For rural areas, sudden rain is a very troublesome thing. There may be some crops drying in the yard, or the washed clothes and quilts may be confiscated. Of course, the biggest trouble here is that there is no shelter from the rain.

"gone back."

"My clothes haven't been confiscated yet!"

Everyone looked anxious or sad. Only Bai Yuzhu came over happily and said, "It's really going to rain!"

Her mother didn't believe it before, but look, Brother Chen Xing was indeed right.

Most of the originally dense crowd left when they knew it was going to rain, and then one after another some people left with the benches they brought.

How about watching TV and playing with your mobile phone at home on a rainy day? Why not come over with an umbrella to watch this show that is performed several times a year?
Forget it, I know all the lines by heart. I used to go to the theater just to chat with my old girlfriends.

Raindrops began to fall from the sky, and a big one fell on Chen Xing's hand.

He looked around him and saw that everyone seemed to have left.

Bai Yuzhu found a big umbrella from somewhere and held it over, saying, "Shall we go back too? I took a lot of photos."

She knew that Chen Xing was leaving after lunch, and she was a little reluctant to leave. She had never met such an interesting person since she was a child. Taking advantage of the rain, she could chat more with Chen Xing when she went back.

Chen Xing originally wanted to leave, but now that he had an umbrella, he said, "Let's have a look."

This play is about Bao Gong adjudicating a case. It is coming to an end now, and it won't take long to finish watching it, at most 10 minutes.

It shouldn't matter if you have an umbrella.

This umbrella should have been borrowed from the people who lived in the house next door. In fact, some people still chose to continue watching, but they also hid under the eaves of that house to avoid the rain and at the same time it did not affect their gantry formation (chat) ).

When holding an umbrella, it logically does not matter whether you are sitting or standing.

But Chen Xing still felt that standing was more comfortable.

After a few more minutes, the actors on the stage were still performing hard. Their voices were loud and clear, and they obviously had real skills. Even the audience under the house more than 20 meters away could clearly hear their voices.

The rain seemed to have no effect on them.

Fortunately, there was a tarpaulin on top of the stage to keep out the rain. Otherwise, Chen Xing would have been worried about whether the scene could continue.

Bai Yuzhu took the bench they brought out to the eaves and put it down. At this time, the rain became heavier. The curtain-like rain even made people unable to see the stage clearly. The umbrella was with Chen Xing, and she couldn't even get out for a while. This rain curtain.

Someone nearby saw that his line of sight was blocked and cursed: "What kind of rain is this? I can't hear clearly!"

"Aren't you tired of watching it after so many years?"

"Who's watching the show? Listen to the music!"

Those people who sit behind the stage and are responsible for the stage music actually have a lot of background.

The form of their performance is called Buyi eight-tone sitting singing. It is a music form passed down from generation to generation by the Buyi people. The performance is mainly performed with silk and bamboo instruments, which is in line with the aesthetics of the Buyi people. Therefore, it is widely spread and is among the first in our country. National intangible cultural heritage.

Chen Xing didn't understand what they were saying but kept watching, which was partly due to the music.

People in the square came back one after another. Now Chen Xing was alone in the whole small square except for the stage. Everyone else felt that it was not worth it to insist on watching this performance in the rain. After all, they had been watching this kind of show since they were children.Of course tourists have different ideas from locals, and they can't understand why Chen Xing insists.

I really want to see it. Wouldn’t it be the same when I look under the eaves here?
Bai Yuzhu regretted not bringing Chen Xing back, but she had never thought that the rain was so heavy before. Should she go over there in the rain and call Chen Xing back?

She was about to take action, but then she thought of the mobile phone in her pocket.

I don’t know how much Brother Chen Xing’s mobile phone costs. What if it gets waterlogged?
Taking out her mobile phone from her pocket, Bai Yuzhu suddenly looked towards Chen Xing - as if a picture came into her mind.

The picture in front of me shrank and gradually formed a frame.

In the heavy rain, the opera actors on the stage performed seriously. Even if there was only one person watching their performance off the stage, their movements did not change in any way.Although the sounds of those musical instruments could not be heard in the heavy rain, their intoxicated expressions could be seen.

And their performance was not disappointed. There was a young man with black hair holding an umbrella and standing in the rain watching the performance.

This picture immediately appeared in her mind, and a strong idea to record this picture appeared.

If Chen Xing were by his side, he would definitely nod with satisfaction and say, "My child, you have realized it."

Photography is like this. When you deliberately look for a subject, many times you won't be able to capture anything truly meaningful. This kind of photo can only be used as a way for the photographer to maintain his sense of touch.

This is how the real work suddenly appears in my mind.

Chen Xing photographed the Dunhuang goddess for Tang Shiyi, photographed the milkmaid at work, photographed the Miao village under the moonlight, and photographed the mountaineering team. These works were all images that appeared in his mind before he pressed the shutter.

She quickly unlocked it with the password Chen Xing told her, turned on the camera awkwardly, and took a picture of the scene.

There isn't much difference in taking pictures with an Android phone. She can't use the phone's professional mode, but she can still zoom in and out.In the past, she often used her father's mobile phone to take photos everywhere, but most of them were deleted by herself.

The plot of Bao Gong's trial finally ended, and Chen Xing shouted "Hello!"

The actor bowed to Chen Xing.

Chen Xing quickly lowered his head and bent down, said "Come on, come on" and walked towards the eaves over there with an umbrella.

The actors on the stage changed a lot, but the whole performance was not over. The music continued, and the subsequent actors gradually came on stage, performing the plot that they had rehearsed countless times behind the scenes to the empty front.

Chen Xing looked back and saw this scene, feeling a little moved.

This may be what is said in the theater world, the drama is bigger than the sky.

Respecting the stage is not only respect for the audience, but also respect for one's own industry.

Walking under the eaves, Chen Xing put away his umbrella, shook his head, nodded to the person looking at him, and asked Bai Yuzhu: "What time is it?"

"It's almost eleven o'clock."

Bai Yuzhu returned the phone to Chen Xing and said, "Look at the photos inside."

Seeing her excited look, Chen Xing smiled and said, "Did you take any good photos?"

"You'll know just by looking at it."

She wasn't sure if it was good or not. Anyway, she thought it was good. After taking this photo, it seemed as if everything in her head had been emptied out, and she no longer had any thoughts about taking pictures.

Chen Xing opened the gallery.

The first one is a scene of Chen Xing and the actors on stage bowing to each other. In this photo, you can only see the back of Chen Xing bowing. The language used in this shot is ordinary, and it doesn’t feel spiritual. Most people may not be able to relate to this photo. What.

It might as well be the one he took before, Chen Xing thought to himself.

Turned over.

This photo made Chen Xing's pupils dilate.

It's still his profile. Bai Yuzhu seems to like to take pictures of his profile. In it, Chen Xing is holding an umbrella and standing upright, while on the stage are a group of actors who are performing seriously.The heavy rain in the foreground is like a transparent door curtain, making the picture hazy and giving it a dreamlike feel.

Chen Xing personally prefers transparency, but this is a personal style, which does not mean that hazy is bad.

Chen Xing likes this photo very much.

"This is a great photo!" Chen Xing praised.

"hey-hey."

The other photos didn't really matter. Bai Yuzhu paid most attention to this photo. Now that she got Chen Xing's approval, she felt satisfied.I was thinking that maybe Chen Xing hadn't lied to himself before and that he really had a talent for photography?

Although it was only for a moment, Bai Yuzhu suddenly fell in love with this feeling of freezing time.

Take a picture of what you are thinking about.

Chen Xing suddenly shook his head, making Bai Yuzhu panic.

"It's a pity that it wasn't taken by a camera. This photo is really good. If the picture quality was higher, it might still be sold for money."

"Sell for money?"

"Ah."

The money he said was not to be sold in a French gallery, but to ask Bai Yuzhu to register an account and sell such works on photo websites like Visual China. It is impossible for no one to want photos of this style.

It seems that he has good eyesight, Chen Xing thought to himself.

"I'll talk to you when I get back," Chen Xing said.

Let her think about it carefully during dinner. If Bai Yuzhu wants to develop as a photographer, then Chen Xing can introduce her to some photography studios in Chengdu as an apprentice, and she can buy models and photography equipment for free.

If you have talent, you can start working as a freelance photographer in just half a year.Even if she doesn't study at this age, she still has to learn something. If she can find something she likes and make a career out of it, she will be happier than 80.00% of the people in society.

Chen Xing regards her as a friend and will definitely help her if given the chance.

On the way back, Bai Yuzhu kept telling the story of the photo she just took of Chen Xing, with a slightly dark face flushed with excitement.

"Then do you want to be a photographer?" Chen Xing asked.

"Think!" Nodding without hesitation.

She still doesn't know what it takes to be a photographer, how expensive the camera is, and how difficult it is to master PS, but she really wants to pursue the same career as Chen Xing, and she really likes the feeling of taking pictures just now.

Photographer, it sounds like a big city.

"Then after the Chinese New Year, you can come to Rongcheng in Sichuan Province to find me."
