travel starts with photography

At each table, Chen Xing basically poured a glass of wine for Zhou Peng. He was just slacking off throughout the whole process, but soon someone came to him specifically.

There was a handsome guy who looked to be about 20 years old holding a travel journal he had published, "Travel is a kind of life, travel notes in France", and asked expectantly:

"Hello, Brother Xing. I'm your fan on Bilibili. Can you sign an autograph for me?"

He recognized the fans of Bilibili. He took the paper and pen with a smile and said, "Thank you for your attention. What's your name?"

"Thank you, Brother Xing! My name is Li Yu, Muzi Li, Hitachi Yu. I also love traveling. After graduation, I plan to travel to Europe like you. Can you wish me a safe trip?"

Chen Xing took a pen and wrote 'TO Li Yu, keep your love for travel, go to the next mountain and sea, I wish you a pleasant journey and a smooth travel - Chen Xing'

His handwriting is very beautiful, which is a skill rewarded by the system.

Although not many people know this, after all, his autograph is rarely circulated, and there are even fewer messages like this. It is impossible to tell whether the handwriting is good if he just signs his name directly to his fans.

After all, a signature can be specially designed, but calligraphy cannot be trained in a short period of time.

When the classmate took it back, he liked the calligraphy very much. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Xing! Thank you, your calligraphy is really good, and your words are also very good. I like it very much."

Chen Xing also handed it back, nodded and said, "You're welcome."

Then he followed Zhou Peng to the next table, holding the bottle of wine.

The table before became lively. These were Qin Xinlei's relatives, not the ones who sneaked in. They only knew that Qin Xinlei's boyfriend was very capable, but they didn't know that the best man was a writer.

"Ruifeng, who is this?"

"A great artist, the kind that no one in the country can compare to."

The guy who wanted the autograph admired Chen Xing very much. He had bought this book and read it a long time ago. Now, looking at the signature on the first page, he suddenly regretted why he didn't buy a new book to sign.

In this way, the old book can be read, and the new book can be used for collection.

The fans at the other table were also stunned.

They only wanted to bring notebooks for autographs, and really forgot that Chen Xing had written a book. Mainly, they probably couldn't find Chen Xing's books in the bookstore, so they had to buy them online.

When they received the news, how could they have time to buy books?
Alas, what a pity.

A few minutes later, the bride and groom finally came to the table. Zhou Peng's father still had that smile on his face and greeted them:
"Thank you for coming. Enjoy your meal and drinks. All the food and drinks in the restaurant are free today. You can play here after dinner. We will have dinner here again at 5:30 in the evening."

No matter what their purpose of coming in is, since they have given gifts and blessings, they are guests of their home and must be treated well.

Zhou Peng also said: "Everyone have fun here, I'll do it, you guys can do whatever you want."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp.

No matter how much wine you drink, you must show your respect when drinking. This is Zhou Peng’s family motto.

This table was full of young people. Seeing this, they drank the wine in their glasses very straightforwardly. Then when Zhou Peng walked to the next table, he stopped Chen Xing and said:
"Brother Xing, we are your fans too. Can we get an autograph?"

There were quite a lot of people here, and it was not convenient for him, a best man pouring wine, to stay here all the time, so he nodded and said, "Then you guys wait a little longer, I'll come back later."

"I understand. Brother Xing wishes your new book a big hit."

Chen Xing also smiled when he heard this. He didn’t know when his new book would be completed.

As the travel notes on France sold well, the publishing house has been hoping that Chen Xing would keep up the good work and write a few more travel notes in the series. After all, they know that Chen Xing is a person who travels everywhere, so he can just write a travel note on England or Germany. There are plenty of topics anyway.

However, Chen Xing is really lazy this year.

He could write a travelogue about Northern Europe, and if he wrote about Northern Europe, he could directly use the text from his column updated on Honeycomb, and he would be able to write it very quickly.

Chen Xing returned to the fan's table only after everyone in the hall had left.

Some people who had finished eating hurriedly made room for Chen Xing.

"No, no, no, please take a seat. I'll leave as soon as I finish signing. There's food waiting for me over there."

He was also hungry. Seeing Duan Fei's starving look just now, he really doubted whether there would be any good food when he returned, so he had to hurry.

"Brother Xing, just sign here."

Chen Xing took a look and saw that some people were holding greeting cards, some were holding photos, and some were holding notebooks.

He picked up a pen and started writing.

If the person who needs an autograph doesn't have any special requests, he will simply sign his name in artistic form. If the fan is very emotional and says a lot, he will also write a message.

In fact, after meeting so many fans, he can tell who are the real fans.

You can tell from the tone of voice and expression.

Although there were a lot of people, the entire signing process went very quickly.

There were people queuing nearby to watch the fun. Some of them realized that Chen Xing might be a celebrity, but they didn't know him, so they asked around, but in the end they could only stamp their feet in frustration because they had no paper.

Celebrities are not something you can easily see in this small place.

You can't use toilet paper to ask for an autograph, right?

This will definitely make you a laughing stock for the rest of your life.

After signing, Chen Xing returned to a small private room to eat.

Zhou Peng and his friends still sat in the hall, after all, someone would come over to greet them and say blessings at any time. This private room was reserved for the best man and bridesmaid, and it was right next to the hall, in a row against the wall. Chen Xing came over to take a look and found that there were still many empty seats, so he pulled Hedwig over again.

He was also a man who loved his wife, and now he was afraid that Hedwig would get bored.

Tianya Haijiao brought his wife back to China, and he had to take on the responsibility of taking care of her. After all, strictly speaking, he was Hedwig's only relative.

There were already a lot of ribs piled in front of Duan Fei, and he basically ate the entire plate of grilled ribs.

After having a good meal and a good drink, Duan Fei asked, "Brother Xing, what are your plans for the future? Can you arrange a job for me in Rongcheng? I really want to go to Rongcheng for a stroll."

Duan Fei has social phobia when it comes to women, but normally he speaks very directly.

"It shouldn't be a problem. What can you do?"

Hearing Chen Xing say this, Duan Fei actually felt relieved.

He was worried that Chen Xing would agree right away, but then drag his feet and not talk about the specifics. After this meal, he didn't know when he would be able to eat at the same table with Chen Xing again.

"I actually have a girlfriend. We chatted online but we haven't met yet. She's from Chengdu. I want to find a job there first and adapt to the environment there."

Chen Xing nodded while eating, but he felt something was wrong and asked, "Just adapting to the environment?"

"Well, she said she has three houses. I don't think she needs me to buy one."

"..."

At the dinner table, Chen Xing and Ye Zhiqiang both fell silent and looked at each other.

They were all from the same school and the same age. They both knew Duan Fei's past anecdotes. If we followed his preferences and added the fact that the woman had three houses, did that mean...

Ye Zhiqiang asked directly: "How old is your girlfriend?"

"41"

Duan Fei touched his hair and smiled foolishly.

"Fuck!"

Everyone at the table exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Zhiqiang couldn't close his mouth, he was stunned: "Really? You found a rich woman again? How did you do it?"

The tone was one of surprise and envy.

Chen Xing explained to Hedwig who was confused, and then Hedwig's eyes widened. She didn't understand what rich woman was or not, but Chen Xing's friend was 23 and found a girlfriend who was 41. This is true love!

Chen Xing then said to Ye Zhiqiang: "Look at his appearance, then look at his abdominal muscles, do you have them?"

Ye Zhiqiang stopped talking for a moment.

He was the worst looking one among their group of friends, and now he's gained weight. No matter how you look at it, rich ladies wouldn't like his type.

One of the bridesmaids was surprised and was comforting Ye Zhiqiang who was leaning on the chair.

"It doesn't matter. Maybe there's a rich woman who likes your style."

"Really? Beauty, can we add each other on WeChat?" Ye Zhiqiang found that this girl was really gentle and decided that he would lick her as the next goddess!

The girl subconsciously said: "Sorry, I don't use WeChat..."

After a few seconds, everyone at the table burst into laughter.

Although there were still many minor incidents in Zhou Peng's wedding, it was generally very successful. The photographer also took plenty of footage, so it is estimated that he can edit it into a good film.

Duan Fei wanted to live in Chengdu for a while. Chen Xing had no idea what to do, but with the help of the Chengdu Art Association, he easily found a job he liked.

Qin Xinlei officially married Zhou Peng, and she didn't have to be shy about booking two rooms when she went out to travel.

Hedwig was brought back by Chen Xing to stay for a few days, and then they went to Rongcheng to live like a young couple. Chen Xing rarely went out, which made Hedwig, who liked to stay at home, very satisfied.

Except that the house was a little small, everything else was almost the same as her dream life.

Chen Xing stayed at home for several months and wrote two books at once - "Travel is a kind of life, Nordic travel notes" and "Xinhuafeng Photography Notes, Theory"

He plans to write two books on Xinhuafeng Photography Notes, in which the theories are to explain why he shoots works in this way, what are his inner thoughts, and how the Xinhuafeng photography style was formed.

It is a summary of his insights over the past few years.

Later he will write a book called "New China Photography Notes, Practical Edition" which basically contains all the photos he has taken over the past year. Many of them will not be used anyway, so he might as well use them in this book.

Teach people how to take pictures of different kinds of scenery, how to compose, how to adjust colors, and how to edit.

In the past, people in China who wanted to study Chen Xing’s style could only try it slowly on their own, taking more photos and practicing more. But with these two books, newcomers to photography will be able to get started better and faster.

The China Photography Association always invites him to give lectures, and sometimes I really can't refuse because he is so enthusiastic.

If he had these two books, what lectures could he give?

Go read books, they have everything.

But the book has not been published yet. In a few days, on December 2024, 12, he will go to Jiangsu for a business trip to give a class to a group of students invited by the China Photography Association. (End of this chapter)
