Rigorous dialogue host Wang Han

2015165438+1October 22nd, "Poet Photographer" Yan Ming came to Changsha with his new book "History of Great Powers" and talked with the famous host Wang Han.

See Utopia official WeChat: Han: The road to go is related to the road to go.

(Excerpted from an interview with xiaoxiang morning herald)

Yan Ming's business card is as clean as his black-and-white photo, with black words on a white background and only his "self" written on it. The traditional word "Yan Ming" is a pure blank.

He said it made him feel great. The life of "conformity" has become "self-respect". The original colleagues' cooperation, industry experience and personal temper are all bad, and they have all disappeared. This is the first time to live so close to myself.

"It's nice to take off all kinds of shells, look down at yourself and see some naivety. I will live with it in the future. "

However, the most direct difficulty in leaving the system is money. He often joins hands with several friends to "get big tickets", and the fare, accommodation and meals are all partners, because it saves money and one person can't afford it.

Trapped by money, he complained bitterly to God. "The most irresponsible thing is that people have souls but can't leave the body. The body needs to eat to get calories and energy, and eating three meals a day is not too cumbersome. "

He asked himself, for photography, if you don't be a "skilled worker within the system", will you come to the "business field outside the system"? How to maintain a good love of photography and make a living from it?

His own answer is that I may not be a very "alive" person, but I have thought about what to do when I am full. How to write a word "love" is more difficult and urgent than "living" and "things".

"Because I know what I can sell and what I will never give up."

Can freelance photography basically solve life problems now? Yan Ming said: "Not bad for the time being. I sell some photos every year. I have a new book now, but I can't say it clearly in the future. "

As we all know, when I asked this question, he muttered in the book: "Why do people always discuss with me whether I can eat enough?" Why didn't anyone discuss with me what to do if I was full? "

I want to convey a comfort to the people of every big country and small country.

Since no one is discussing it, let's bury ourselves.

Chongqing, Henan, Gansu, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia ... He took his camera and crossed more than half of China.

Resisting the proposition composition, he cherishes every moment of "scalp numbness" and "eyes shining". It will talk, tell you, seduce you, make your heart beat wildly and your hands tremble. "When emotions accumulate to a certain concentration, intuition will tell you that it is time to take out your camera!"

On a winter night a few years ago, Yan Yan met a headless general on a snowy night in Henan. He was suddenly surprised, almost afraid to look, and his body posture was still there, just hanging his head. A layer of snow just fell on his shoulders, shining directly above him like moonlight, and just like chasing on the stage, highlighting that there is nothing above his shoulders and neck, which is really a mental blank. "I seem to be blank."

This "headless general" was photographed by a strict camera and printed on the cover of Great Power. The general stood in the snow with his hands bowed. Murphy, Yan Ming wants to let everyone stand in front of the general in this way and accept this late testimony?

Maybe we can find some traces in the title of the book. Careful people will find that under the Chinese title of "History of Great Powers", a line of CountryofAmbition is quietly written and translated into Chinese.

Why are Chinese and English names different? Yan Yan bowed her head and smiled. "In fact, this is my wish for cultural rejuvenation!"

Behind the upsurge of economic development, the traditional humanistic environment has shown a lonely state, which can't be cared and valued by people more and more. Where material desires cross-flow, nothing grows. The remains of these "Chinese-style" scenes show the inheritance of our cultural genes, which used to be the spiritual basis for our survival.

"Between black and white, I really used my soul; Naively use poetry to fight practicality. "

"In this changing and unchanging story, I want to convey a kind of comfort to you who are also about to die. To the people of every big country and small country. "
