travel starts with photography

"Is this really his painting?"

"Isn't Chen Xing a photographer? Why are oil paintings so powerful?"

Painting and photography are both visual arts and graphic arts, so many basic principles are the same, but this relationship is not without distinctions. It is said that there is a chain of contempt in photography, but if you go up one level, it is probably all Study painting.

No matter how talented we are in painting, three to five years of basic practice is not too much, right?

But if you are talented in photography, you can earn the kind of money that an art student can earn after graduating from college in less than a year after picking up a camera, and you will even have more freedom and comfort.

This kind of difficulty makes children who learn painting have a mentality that I am better than you.

There are many art students who follow Chen Xing. Now when I see a painting that Chen Xing posted casually, or a painting with such simple elements, it is far beyond my own level, so the comment section is completely blown up, and within a day, I can directly Rush to the homepage.

The number of forwarding posts from people in the Academy of Fine Arts calling for friends has far exceeded the traffic that a grandma in a tourist area should have.

On the contrary, the heat on the tubing and INS is about the same as before.

Foreigners are more accepting of the fact that Chen Xing can paint in oils than Chinese people. Some people even took out the sketches that Chen Xing drew before for comparison, which proves that Chen Xing has always been learning painting, and it is not that he suddenly became interested and could reach such a level with just one drawing. .

There are also people making quotes in the comment area.

Sometimes the encounters in life are really wonderful. Chen Xing actually wants to increase his domestic value, but it seems that he can't get out of the vicious circle of Internet celebrities. On the contrary, foreigners are becoming more and more popular for his works.

outrageous.

Two days later, in a teahouse in Vientiane City.

Teahouses are a very important culture in Chengdu. Just like the morning tea culture in Cantonese-speaking areas, they can be seen everywhere in Chengdu.

The teahouse where Chen Xing works is considered an internet celebrity teahouse on a certain music channel, and Sichuan opera masters are often invited to perform stunts here.

Face changing, fire breathing, water sleeves, high voice, spin, etc.

The master we hired today is playing spinner, which is spinning in a circle with one foot on the ground, with the front and back sleeves flying flat. It is very pleasing to the eye with the modern opera music... Of course, the drinks here are also very expensive, and it is aimed at people who are... Music attracts outsiders.

Chen Xing arrived very early and had watched enough programs. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when he saw teachers from the Academy of Fine Arts walk in.

Wang Guanghe knew that Chen Xing usually pays more attention to image. Today, he went to the hair salon to get a perm. He arrived at the place agreed with Chen Xing half an hour early. When he walked in, he saw Chen Xing applauding the stage and there was tea on the table. It's cold, I don't know how long I have been waiting.

He quickly came over and said, "Teacher Chen? I am Wang Guanghe who added you on WeChat the day before yesterday. There was a traffic jam on the road and I was late."

"I'm here early. It's still far from three o'clock, right, Teacher Wang? Sit down quickly."

Wang Guanghe then sat down with peace of mind, looked at the idol's dress in front of him, and thought that the reports on the Internet were indeed true.

Although he is a few years older than Chen Xing, a master is a teacher. He spent the whole last year studying Chen Xing's photography and wanted to display the content in paintings... Unfortunately, he didn't wait until he studied it. What, Chen Xing released the painting himself.

This is really genius.

When chatting on WeChat before, Chen Xing knew that Teacher Wang was from Guangxi. Today, he wanted to recommend some more interesting places in Chengdu to him. Unexpectedly, he started talking about the painting painted by Chen Xing not long after he sat down. .

"I saw your painting in the student group the day before yesterday. I knew it was you at the first sight."

"Haha, thank you. It's rare for me to go out for a spring outing and I brought an easel with me and drew some random things." "Teacher Chen, you are too humble."

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Guanghe continued: "I told the dean, and he was willing to let me talk about your works with the students. In fact, I have used your photography to teach them about color before. , it’s just that the pixels are not that good.”

This is natural. If the pixels are good, you have to go to the gallery’s official website and pay royalties.

"If you need it, I can personally authorize some to your school."

Chen Xing is not afraid of putting his works in schools, and it is not a profit-making organization. This can actually increase his influence in the circle... Whatever he does to show off his power abroad, he will always return to China to develop in the future.

You can't walk at night in brocade clothes.

If possible, he can license more of his photos to domestic art schools. Anyway, such authorization cannot be used for commercial purposes. There is no need to worry about his rights and interests being infringed. The most important thing is that he takes countless photos every year. , but only a small portion will be accepted by galleries.

The extra money cannot be sold for money, so it can be put to good use by donating it to domestic learning institutions.

But only in places like schools, not museums, art galleries or the like, otherwise it would be considered a breach of contract by Chen Xing.

"Let me thank you first on behalf of the students. Teacher Chen's color understanding is top-notch internationally. Also, can you lend the work you painted a few days ago to our school for a while to observe?"

"No problem, but I have to ask the gallery I signed with first, and then I will license it to you together with the photos."

Paintings are different from photos. Chen Xing dare not give them away casually, but there is no problem in borrowing them.

And speaking of it, Chen Xing himself is very happy that the work he created in half a day can be appreciated by the best art academy in the province. It proves that the route he thought before was correct. Now, in addition to photography, painting has also become his own A top skill.

This is different from the dog training and drone flying that he had drawn before. It is a relatively easy technology that can make a lot of money.

After seeing the art teacher off, I mentally calculated what time it was in France.

Forget it, that guy Seth probably hasn't gotten up yet.

After the performance in the teahouse ended, Chen Xing got up and walked towards the photo studio.

His photo studio in Vientiane has been renovated. The layout is very similar to the century-old photo studio that Chen Xingqi was inspired by. However, walking up the stairs to the second floor is a cafe with a full atmosphere.

Just waiting for a good and auspicious day to open the business.

He doesn't expect much income from this store. He just wants to make friends with local photography colleagues in Chengdu.

With the lights on, Chen Xing walked around in his store, feeling very at ease in his heart.

This can be considered his second property in the country...if the house he lives in can be considered his first property.

After having this system, he has long been accustomed to a life of traveling around. He doesn't have much thought about buying a house and setting up property. At most, he wants to have a larger manor to live in when he retires.

Now the manor is still unaffordable.

However, with the skill of painting and the identity of an international young painter, the manor should not be far away from him. (End of chapter)
