travel starts with photography

Chapter 334 Playing the Documentary

What is the artist's small family like?

Chen Xing could vaguely see one or two of them in his residence in Paris.

This house has been completely rented out to Chen Xing and Hedwig, and they are not short of this rent now. Hedwig likes to live in Chen Xing's room now, even when he is not around, as long as he sleeps in Chen Xing's room. She will feel at ease in the bed she used to live, and will not have nightmares.

The third floor was completely converted into a studio.

This separates the living area from the working area.

Hedwig basically paints in her room during the day, and Chen Xing sometimes studies some technical issues in photography or painting. The two of them are the kind of people who completely forget the external environment for a few hours when they do what they like.

So the two are often hungry.

Today Chen Xing went out to find the professor, and also ate something at Professor Nobel's house, and bought some bread on the way back.

As soon as you enter the door, the stove is clean and reflective.

Don't ask, I'm probably addicted to painting again.

Hedwig is currently painting a work that was customized by others, and the price is as high as 8000 euros. Of course, this cannot be compared with Chen Xing’s photos, but it is very rare for a young painter like Hedwig. If it is successful, the gallery will probably increase it as appropriate The price of her work.

He knocked on the door on the third floor, and then he walked in.

Hedwig didn't seem to hear that Chen Xing entered the room, she was still humming and drawing, wearing her little apron that was dyed in many colors.

"Forgot to eat again?" Chen Xing asked as he put the bread on the table by the window.

She looked up to see Chen Xing, then moved her eyes to the bread that Chen Xing bought, and said, "I forgot! What time is it? Have you eaten yet?"

"Didn't I say I'm going to my teacher's house today? I've already eaten, so I guess you forgot to eat again, so I'll bring you some back."

Hedwig put down her brush and rubbed her stomach... She was indeed very hungry.

So he stood up and kissed Chen Xing with a smile, and opened the bread that Chen Xing bought. This bread was filled with cream, and it tasted very refreshing after being chilled.She has always liked desserts, and they were brought back by Chen Xing. When she tasted them, she would show a very happy expression.

Chen Xing sighed and said, "What will you do when I'm not at home?"

"I can cook by myself. I just forget it when I get busy. Of course I will take care of myself. Come on, you can eat too."

"You can eat, you can eat."

"Well... By the way, did your teacher say anything, will you stay in Paris this year?"

Hedwig has some expectations. If Chen Xing stays in Paris to study, at least Chen Xing will not go too far this year.Hedwig sometimes feels very heartbroken thinking about the wasted time in the first half of the year. It would be great if the relationship was confirmed earlier.

Chen Xing sat down in the messy room and said, "No, I graduated."

"graduate?"

"Yes, I graduated." Chen Xing also showed a puzzled expression, but said quickly, "The teacher said that after I won the award at the Arles Photography Festival, there is nothing to teach me in practice. , the basic things are all in the first, second and third grades, so let me graduate."

"So fast!"

Chen Xing, Brother Ah San, and Hedwig, the three of them basically came from Paris, and they are about the same age. Graduated from high fashion in Paris at the age of 20?

"It's pretty fast, I didn't expect it."

He knew it must be a good thing for him, so that he could have more time to travel around.Moreover, after graduating from high school in Paris, it will be very easy for him to apply for a visa to any other country. It can even be said that the visa officer will let Chen Xing go when he sees his school.

Traveling is something Chen Xing likes to do.

But with Hedwig it's kind of...

Many travelers are very young. Backpackers wandering around the world are often seen even if they are around 18 years old, but there are very few backpackers after 35 years old.

Chen Xing doesn't know whether marriage is the tomb of love, but it must be the tomb of travelers.He stopped talking, and reached out to touch Hedwig's back to express his love. She also ate the bread brought back by Chen Xing as if she had forgotten the question and answer just now.

But Hedwig suddenly raised her head: "Your documentary is about to be broadcast!"

"Huh? Oh, it seems to be..."

………………

Canal + is a French local website, the main body is a French pay TV station, and it is one of the first pay TV stations in Europe. There are many TV programs, including news movies, sports, documentaries and so on.

But Chen Xing and his works were not shown on the TV station, they could only be shown on their website.

Fortunately, because the purchase price is cheap and the quality is good, this website chose to give this one-episode documentary a lot of publicity.

As soon as I opened this website, on the cover of the homepage, there was a silhouette photo of a person holding a small leopard in his hand in the sun. The name is French [Call of the Wilderness]

When Chen Xing saw the cover, the memories of his death began to attack him.

See this name again.

This is the name provided by the website, saying that the Great Migration is too rustic and no one will read it, but he has always felt that this is some kind of Call of the Wild, which always means Call of the Wild—this is a hunting game, which is not bad in Europe. It is well-known, and there are many people playing in Huaxia.

Hedwig grabbed Chen Xing's hand and said, "This person is you, right? I knew it right away."

"Hmm..." Chen Xing made an inexplicable voice.

Before Hedwig could take a closer look, Chen Xing clicked in.

The scene was edited by Chen Xing. The climax of the whole film is when it lights up from the dark night. It is the angle of view of Chen Xing walking through the wild beasts with a traveling machine. It is clear and stable. At the end, the angle of view gradually increases, and the producer appears. Chen Xing's voice also appeared under his name.

"The Serengeti prairie in eastern Africa, where the most special natural landscape in the world is being staged, millions of wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and antelopes form a majestic team, from Serengeti in Tanzania Tee Reserve goes north, and the end point is Masai Mara National Park in Kenya..."

After finishing this documentary, Chen Xing watched a lot of documentaries in the next few days and wanted to learn.

But this spirit of learning only lasted for a few days.

The conclusion reached is that it is better to have a protagonist, such as the hunting lion as the protagonist, and use their sight to tell the story of this great migration in a humane way.In this way, the drone video shot by Chen Xing also has a more perfect sense of substitution.

But after all, they are a few newcomers, and it is always jerky to do this kind of thing for the first time.

The shortcoming of this documentary is that there is no main line, but the advantages are also particularly prominent, that is, the picture is exquisite, the copywriting is excellent, and another thing that can be praised is that the dubbing sounds very good.This is not Chen Xing's self-promotion, the fresh comments below also think so.

I don’t know why foreign video websites, there are very few websites that can directly post barrage like Bizhan.

Only by using a plug-in can the comments below be turned into bullet screens floating on top of the video, but that is a comment after all, without the smell of bullet screens.

Chen Xing and Hedwig sat together and watched the whole film, Chen Xing asked, "What do you think?"

"It's so beautiful, the way you hold the little leopard is so handsome!"

That's one of the highlights of the whole film.

Hedwig finished watching the documentary in immersion. Watching online videos is a way for her to understand the world, not to mention that this is a documentary filmed by her boyfriend, and she also participated in the dubbing... To be honest, I heard that Chen Xing was in the documentary With a deep voice, [-]% of her physical strength has disappeared.

Scroll down to read the comments.

Chen Xing went in to watch it according to the timing. He belonged to the first batch of viewers. Now there are only more than 300 comments below. Chen Xing estimates that there are few people who have read it. Expressing one's other feelings.

'If the full score is [-], I would give him [-] points. The dream-chasing works of the three young people are worthy of recognition. '

'How did you get the first picture?Can drones be so flexible now? '

'Who's the guy in the lead?Chen...it looks so familiar. '

'I feel the same way'

'Thank you blogger! '

'I was fortunate enough to go to the Serengeti prairie twice, and I felt the shock personally, just like what this documentary said. '

'Canal + finally produced a qualified documentary, and as a fan, I was already crying. '

Huh?No one scolded us?
Are you lenient towards us because you are newcomers?

Chen Xing wanted to continue watching when the phone rang.

I clicked on it and saw that it was a video invitation from Ford, and Lefebold was also there. It had been a long time since I had seen him growing a mustache, and he looked more like an artist.

"Chen! Livebold! Have you watched the video! We succeeded! The playback volume is so high!"

Chen Xing nodded to Hedwig, went to the balcony and sat down to make a phone call, and said, "How tall is it?"

"You didn't watch it? You didn't watch it?" Ford was surprised.

Lefebold also scratched his head strangely, and asked, "Is that the video you made in Africa? Has it been broadcast?"

"Hey! It's us, me, you, and Chen, the three of us, isn't there an introduction in the video? This is the work of the three of us."

"Sorry, I've been too busy recently, how's the response to the video?"

Ford cleared his throat and said, "It's already... Let me see, over [-] videos have been played, and there are thousands of comments. Netizens think very well about our videos. Let me read the comments for you..."

"All right, all right! I'll go and have a look myself when I have time." Someone called his name from Leifbold, and he hurriedly logged off.

Chen Xing also read the comments, and after he read a few, he said: "Well, it looks good, in fact, I was reading it just now."

"We succeeded, right?"

"I can't see anything now, let's talk about it tomorrow morning, I think you may not be able to sleep well in your state today." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"Damn it! Someone scolded us, what did you say? How could we sleep tonight?"

"Then take your time, I still have to go to sleep."

"Hey, wait..."

Chen Xing hung up the video.

It seems that Ford has a strong idea of ​​making another documentary. Would you like to invest in it yourself?
In Chen Xing's opinion, Ford is more suitable as a photographer, or an organizer. His editing ability is not a bit worse than Chen Xing's, and his copywriting is also average. It may be a bit of a loss to invest in this way, but he is not enthusiastic. So good, a headache.

Hey, a friend without a sense of boundaries!
Let's talk about it when the time comes, and listen to Lefebold's opinion.

Chen Xing himself will not go anyway, now that he is free from the shackles of his studies, he can't wait to go out and wander, so he won't waste his travel time by finding a job for himself during this period.

Since coming to Paris at the beginning of the year, Chen Xing has not experienced such a feeling of freedom for a long time.

This year Chen Xing is most concerned about the publication of travel notes.

But the publishing house will not publish this book until New Year's Day, which is still more than two months away.

The next day, Chen Xing went to the Hasselblad branch in Paris by himself, and got the contact information of their head office and an invitation letter—actually, it was a relatively delicate card, only commemorative, and he got off the plane when he went Just call them directly, and someone will take him to the Hasselblad company.

But as a souvenir, this card is also very nice.

【Dear Mr. Chen Xing, we, Hasselblad, are a professional camera manufacturer with advanced technology and equipment, as well as an excellent team.We hope to share our experience and technology with you, and look forward to your valuable comments and suggestions on our products.

We would be very grateful if you could come and visit us.Please call us before your arrival so we can prepare for your reception. 】

This is the French printed on the back.

On the front is the most classic photo taken by Chen Xing with a Hasselblad, which is the Buddha light.

Was this photo bought by Hasselblad?

Otherwise, with the European copyright environment, it is impossible for a company of this size to print copyright-free photos on anything.

Chen Xing has always believed in Seth about the photos. Although he didn't like Asian art in the past, but in the contact with Chen Xing, he gradually knew who is the head of the Peruna Gallery. well-done.

It made Chen Xing's wallet bulge.

Stayed at home with Hedwig for a few days, their school starts early, and now they have to go out to class occasionally during the day.Chen Xing's high-end Parisian class didn't start until October 10th, so they have nearly four months to play in this summer vacation.

Professor Nobel has already submitted the application for early graduation on behalf of Chen Xing, and Chen Xing can just come over to handle it now.

There are no changes in school.

Old schools in Europe are like this, let alone a few months, it is estimated that there will not be any new buildings in another ten years.

As soon as he entered the school, he was surrounded by a group of students.

There are only a few hundred students in Paris High School, and people with a better personality basically finished the entire school's majors in one semester, not to mention Chen Xing, a star who was transferred to the last semester of the third grade as soon as he came in. Everyone knows this student in the photography class.

With this kind of reputation, I went to win one of the biggest awards in the photography industry during the summer vacation, and now I am graduating early again.

Chen Xing is now simply a legend of high-end Paris.
