travel starts with photography

He looked at Chen Xing when he spoke.

Chen Xing nodded.

The Kyoto Museum is a large museum, and there are some small buildings behind the old museum. They are all houses that are a blend of Western Renaissance style. The houses are piled with various details, making them look more exquisite in such a garden.

Seth walked beside Chen Xing and whispered in French: "Mr. Moriyama values ​​you very much. I will try my best to see if I can leave a batch of photos here after this art festival."

"This museum?"

"Of course." Seth nodded matter-of-factly.

If he can sell more works, expand his influence, and earn more money, Chen Xing will definitely spare no effort, but according to what he knows, this place is already the museum with the largest collection of his works in Asia. Can I buy it?

He raised his doubts with Seth, and Seth smiled mysteriously.

"Although I have never met Director Moriyama in person before, we still communicate a lot on the Internet. He is your true support. Haha, don't worry, if your works perform well in the exhibition this time , then these are not problems.”

"Isn't he the deputy director?"

Turn your hobby into work and it will feel completely different.

"How many?"

The environment is really good.

Chen Xing doesn't want to make oil painting his main business yet. He will only paint one when he is interested. But if he signs a contract, it doesn't matter whether he is interested or not. He has to submit a certain number of works to the gallery every year.

"Stop talking, aren't you curious about how much money Mr. Abbott will give you?"

"alright."

Seth shrugged: "You are just an artist, just create your own works and leave these things to me."

Seth skipped this topic, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Xing, I heard that your oil paintings are very good, and Mr. Abbott wants to sign your oil painting contract, what do you think?"

Chen Xing, who was not well-known at the beginning, shot up like a rocket in more than half a year after signing the contract, and has become one of the most famous photographers in the new generation.

There are two main buildings of the Kyoto Museum. The new building is a modern building, and the old building is a Renaissance-style building. The gardens in the middle and behind the old building are Japanese-style gardens, but the combination of so many styles is surprisingly unconventional. To the point of awkwardness.

The scene inside can be clearly seen from outside the exhibition hall.

Seth wanted to have a good chat with Chen Xing about this topic. When he saw that he was about to walk to the small exhibition hall where Chen Xing's works were displayed, he said, "We will talk more in a while. Let's take a look at this place first."

There are no solid walls, replaced by clean and transparent glass.

"very beautiful."

"Let's talk about this later."

Not to mention, Chen Xing is really curious.

Many of these small houses in the garden are in the shape of pavilions, surrounded by tree shades and artificial water flow.

Although the gallery is now run by Seth, the boss behind it has always been Abbott. He was the one who made the decision to sign Chen Xing before. Judging from the current results, he has done a very profitable job with this business.

Just like his current photography.

Since it is a public exhibition area, there are many tourists here. Some people noticed Chen Xing and his party very keenly, and some more keen people quickly discovered Chen Xing...

Kenji Moriyama came closer and said, "Mr. Chen Xing, this is the exhibition hall with the best environment here. Are you satisfied with it?"

Regardless of whether they knew Chen Xing before or not, there was a photo of Chen Xing outside this exhibition hall.

Chen Xing clearly heard someone say: "Is this a photographer?"

"It's very similar. I didn't expect that we in China also have such powerful photographers."

"He's wearing Hanfu. He's so handsome."

Hearing the familiar Chinese, Chen Xing smiled and nodded at them. Walking to the front, Chen Xing saw the sign at the main entrance of the exhibition hall.

The most obvious one is of course Chen Xing's artistic photos. His image has always been the best means of publicity, so if a curator anywhere wants to open a photography exhibition of Chen Xing's, they will put his photos up.

The text next to it reads:

Organizer: Kyoto Art Festival, Kyoto Museum.

Artist: Chen Xing.

Exhibition time: subject to the announced art festival time.

The main works on display this time are Mr. Chen Xing’s widely acclaimed Mysterious Oriental series in 2023. As an artist known for his visual expression and thinking, Mr. Chen Xing’s works are good at using a strong personal style to present the art in his eyes. color.

……

There is also a long introduction at the end, all kinds of blowing.

When outsiders see this, they will immediately think that this person named Chen Xing is really awesome, not only because of his great introduction, but mainly because he can open a store alone in today's environment, and he is still a foreigner.

This is rare in the entire art festival.

But in Chen Xing's own opinion, it was a bit embarrassing.

"Cough cough."

Chen Xing coughed twice to hide his embarrassment and walked in.

Kenji Moriyama, who was waiting for Chen Xing's reaction, was stunned for a moment, and then said clearly to the staff around him: "Mr. Chen Xing is indeed an outstanding talent cultivated by a big country. He is just humble."

"Yes, yes." The people accompanying him echoed.

Good light is a necessary condition for viewing photography exhibitions. This is something you don’t have to worry about when glass is used as the wall, so that the light figure and graceful dance of the Dunhuang goddess seem to glow in the sun.

After taking this set of photos, Chen Xing often recalled the day of shooting.

If Tang Shiyi had not been invited, the achievements of this set of works would not have been as high.

Seductive but not kitsch, with mysterious yet delicate expressions and oriental decorations, I don’t know how many Western collectors have been captured, making this set of works continue to increase in value in the photography market.

Let's invite Sister Tang out for a meal later and give her a red envelope, Chen Xing thought to herself.

"Hello, did you take all these works?" Someone recognized Chen Xing and came over to ask tentatively.

"Yes, hello."

The two foreign girls were so happy that they invited Chen Xing to take some photos.

Seeing more and more tourists, Chen Xing withdrew.

They were all taken by him. Just look at the environment. There is no need to look carefully at each one inside.

It is indeed the top art festival in Asia. Chen Xing has been to his own photography exhibition several times before, but the number of visitors is much smaller than here. The overall environment is quiet and not as noisy as here.

As soon as he walked out, Moriyama Kenji apologized: "I'm sorry, it was our negligence in our work."

During the art festival, their ticket prices were extremely low, making it impossible to filter out people who really loved photography. A large number of ordinary tourists who came to Kyoto checked in everywhere.

Seth said cheerfully: "It doesn't matter, this is also a reflection of Chen Xing's popularity."

Kenji Moriyama took the opportunity to invite Chen Xing: "To express my apology, I will be the host tonight and invite Mr. Chen Xing and Mr. Seth to experience the characteristics of our Kyoto. Please be sure to appreciate it."

Kyoto specialty?

Seth turned his eyes and looked at Chen Xing... (End of chapter)
