Hello everyone, this is Zhengjing Game, and I am Zhengjing Junior.

Nowadays, many games come with built-in photography modes, allowing players to choose more suitable angles and lighting to take screenshots, thereby achieving the most ideal display effect. But have you ever thought that game screenshots can actually be sold for money?



Recently, Kunming Tongde Kunming Plaza and Yunnan Art Institute jointly held an exhibition of young photography professionals' works called "Image". Now this photography exhibition has become popular!

The reason for the popularity was not that there were any earth-shattering works at the exhibition that were comparable to the Trump shooting, but that sharp-eyed netizens discovered that one of the works, called "Reappearance for the Non-Reappearance", was a bit incredible.



Because "Reappearance for the Unreappearance" is actually a set of photos with the theme of World War I. This set of works has a total of 6 photos, in which you can see the battleships, A7V tanks, and the battlefield of Amiens during World War I. These black and white photos are mottled and yellowed, as if the author personally experienced the first World War and took the photos on the front line. You have to know that World War I happened more than 100 years ago!

Therefore, players soon discovered that this set of screenshots was actually game screenshots from "Battlefield 1" produced by EA in 2016.







According to online information, the author Xiao Cui (pseudonym) is from Ju County, Shandong Province. He is a 2024 photography graduate of Yunnan Arts Institute and a member of Ju County Folk Photographers Association.

According to Xiao Cui, game battlefield photography has developed from traditional photography. His work refers to traditional battlefield photography and adds innovations in artificial intelligence to restore and reproduce images from the First World War. He uses virtual images to recreate an era of suffering and tragedy, in the hope that the world will never again be filled with war.





This is probably the reason why his work is marked as 500 yuan per piece. Although the game only costs about 200 yuan, this work contains the most advanced modern artificial intelligence technology and mankind's desire for peace. The work was also selected for the graduation exhibition of the Academy of Fine Arts, and Xiao Cui himself was awarded the title of Outstanding Graduate of Yunnan Province and Outstanding Graduate of Yunnan Art Institute.



Some netizens said, "Didn't EA sue you?" Some netizens killed two birds with one stone, saying that Visual China might have already written a lawyer's letter, and you tell me this is a game? Some netizens said that this person can go to Visual China. Some netizens complained that it was just a black and white filter. I can take 100 screenshots of this in a minute. Some netizens even said that this student sublimated the game into art.



Little brother Kailugong: Although this classmate said that he was doing "game battlefield photography", what is confusing is that it should be read as "game, battlefield photography" or "game battlefield, photography"?

A surprising question: Do you usually take time to take screenshots in games?
