Chapter 202 I Don't Want to Hear Shit, Photographer Shi Me Now
The open eyes of Mimi Lake.
Too bright.
It took him a long time to remember that he arrived in France yesterday and was currently staying with a family in Paris.
Dongdongdong…
"Xing, come downstairs for breakfast."
It's Aunt Lizzie's voice.
Chen Xing rubbed his eyes. He didn't close the curtains when he went to bed last night, so he was awakened by the bright light so early today. After all, he really didn't wake up.
I don’t know what time the first class at the university here is.
If he still starts at eight o'clock as before, then Chen Xing probably has to get used to a healthy life of going to bed early and getting up early.
"Coming."
Get up and get dressed, and tidy up the quilt a little.
The room was very empty. Chen Xing thought that after he was done today, he must go to the market to buy some decorations, books and so on. He was very curious about the best-selling books in France. Currently, the best-selling one in China is Chicken Soup, and he didn't know about France.
What's popular.
It would be great if the travelogue became popular, and if it could be sold, I would publish a whole volume of them myself.
When I went out with the toiletries, I met the Indian boy next door.
His name is Shah Rukh Yazan. Indian names also have the surname at the end and the given name at the front, just like Europeans and Americans, so just call him Shah Rukh. This guy is a gamer, but not introverted.
"Good morning!"
"Okay."
Chen Xing nodded and went downstairs first.
Everyone's breakfast is set on the dining table. A square table can seat six people, so five people can eat without feeling crowded. The two hosts have already taken their seats and are eating with Pena, who lives on the third floor.
Breakfast consists of eggs, a few slices of baguette, tomato sauce, and milk, which looks very healthy.
Lizi smiled and greeted Chen Xing, who had just arrived home, and invited him to take a seat quickly. Pena was still as shy as she saw yesterday, eating with his head down.
In fact, Chen Xing prefers her name, Hedwig.
It sounds beautiful.
The name Pena is just average. Maybe it can be translated as Pena? European girls seem to be more suitable for the translation of this kind of name with a female side.
I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and tidied my hair.
After sitting down, Uncle Feida said: "Xing, today is the day for you to register. Do you need us to send you there?"
"No, the Paris School of Decorative Arts is on the street in front, I can find it."
"ensad?" Pena raised her head.
Chen Xing also looked over and realized that her eyes were still light gray, very clear.
"Yes, are you also in this school?" Chen Xing asked as he sat down.
"No, I'm at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris."
Li Zi smiled and said: "It seems that you are still neighbors."
Chen Xingdao: "We are still roommates."
There was a lot of laughter at the dinner table, but Pena was a little shy.
After having this breakfast, Chen Xing went out. About a kilometer away from this street is the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. During the day, the two streets along the road are crowded with tourists, but they are relatively deserted in the early morning. There are many scenic spots to see in Paris in the early morning. Who would go shopping in the early morning?
…
There are many people at the school gate.
Chen Xing walked in, asked a senior for directions, and came to Professor Cliff Noble's office.
This professor was one of the teachers who interviewed Chen Xing at the beginning. After that, the two of them kept in touch frequently, and their relationship was okay.
"You're here, how have you been lately?"
"Very good."
"That's fine, let's go. You want to join my class and I will take you to meet your classmates."
The Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in France implements a three plus two policy. After three years of education, there are two years of mandatory internship... Perhaps the three plus two higher vocational colleges in China evolved from here?
Because Chen Xing has excellent skills and has studied in higher education institutions in his country for several years, the previously scheduled course was to directly participate in the fourth-year internship.
But later, after discussion at the school, they felt that although Chen Xing was very good at taking pictures, it would not work if he did not understand the basics at all, so he was asked to report to the school a few months in advance and became a transfer student in his junior year. p>
Fortunately, this is the last semester of my junior year and I will graduate in June.
The buildings in the art school are different from ordinary schools, not to mention that this school mainly produces talents in the design department. The design of the main building of the school looks very beautiful from the appearance, with a sense of art from the Roman era.
.
There is a small square in the center of several buildings in the school. Domestic schools like to place national flags in this location.
But this university has a statue.
The statue created by the well-known artist Francesco Bodoni stands on a long pillar. If the weather is bad, it is difficult to see the details of the statue when you look up because of the reflection, and all you see is black.
Shadow.
Professor Nobel said:
"Although our school is relatively small, it still has two main teaching buildings. One of them is the School of Fine Arts, which is where you will often go in the future, and the other is the School of Architecture."
Chen Xing nodded all the way.
He thinks these two teaching buildings are very beautiful.
There is a statue every two or three meters downstairs. Above the statue, on the second floor of the teaching building, there are also portraits of famous figures.
These portraits represent the artists and architects who have influenced the world during the two hundred years since the school was founded. This can be regarded as the heritage of a school, which is unmatched by many newly established schools. When he arrived outside the classroom, Chen Xing could hear that the classroom was just as noisy as the classroom in his memory, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
It seems that students all over the world are the same.
After entering the door, Professor Nobel clapped his hands. Although the students did not immediately return to their seats in a panic, they all calmed down and listened to what Professor Nobel wanted to say.
"I hope everyone has had a happy holiday, but starting from today you should study hard. At least you must know where you will go and what you will do in the second half of the year. Okay, let me introduce you to your new
Classmate, Xing Chen from China."
Seeing that he was speaking in French, Chen Xing walked to the podium in French and said: "Hello, just like Professor Nobel said, just call me Xing. I hope we can spend the rest of the college happily together.
Time."
…
The applause soon started.
Chen Xing looked around at his future classmates and was very happy.
There seems to be no Nico in the class, and now he is no longer considered a stranger when he can get along happily with his classmates.
Today is not only the first day for Chen Xing to register, but also the first day for them to return to school.
Professor Nobel looked at the number of people in the classroom without naming names. He smiled at Chen Xing and said, "You can come back to my office in an hour. We still have some procedures to resolve. You can already find me."
It's the office, right?"
"Okay, Professor."
"Well, let's get along well with our classmates."
The professor left, and Chen Xing was quickly surrounded by his classmates. They were all curious about why there were new students joining their class when it was almost the end of the semester.
"Hello, are you really a photographer from China?"
"We haven't had students from China in our school for many years. Haha, there are two Chinese Americans in the second grade. Do you know them?"
Chen Xing shook his head.
It’s not that Chinese photographers will be discriminated against in France, but they are indeed rare.
There are also some Asian faces in their class, but after everyone talked together, they found out that apart from Chen Xing, there are three Asians in this class, two are from island countries, and one is from Bangzi country.
Fortunately, these three people have pretty good personalities and don’t have the stereotypes of island countries and stick countries.
I guess it’s because I have been abroad for a longer time and have become accustomed to life abroad.
The person who first struck up a conversation with Chen Xing asked: "Where do you live now? In the dormitory?"
"No, I live in a homestay not far from the school. What is the dormitory like?"
"It's very ordinary. Come on, I'll take you to see it."
Chen Xing was pulled a little and said quickly: "Don't you need to go to class?"
"There is no class today, just a roll call. But now that Professor Nobel has left, I guess there won't be a roll call. There will be a history of photography section at ten o'clock tomorrow, and I will drag you into our Facebook discussion group..." A girl said.
Chen Xing quickly saw the school dormitory.
It's hard to say it's bad, but at least it looks good. If there were such dormitory conditions in China, it would probably have become an internet celebrity school long ago. Maybe there are some low-key aristocratic schools that still have such a style.
There’s no need to say anything after you get in.
The sour smell is inevitable.
Fortunately, he chose to live off campus, Chen Xing thought.
There are murals on the walls outside the dormitory. The patterns look very Chinese and Western. There is a balcony on the left hand side of the corridor. The handrails are about one meter high. The arc-shaped hollow windows are very reminiscent of Harry Potter.
.
The classmate who brought Chen Xing over said: "Look below, that is the most spectacular building in our school."
Chen Xing looked down from the hollow spot on the balcony.
There is a corridor below, and in front is a building with a glass roof. The decoration inside is vaguely visible, and there are still many sculptures and wall paintings.
"Any activities or exhibitions in the school are also there, but our photography department has not had an exhibition for a long time."
The classmate sighed.
On a campus led by the Design Department, the Photography and Videography major is indeed like a stepmother, but it is precisely because of this that the students in the class seem so Buddhist. You can't compete with them anyway, so you can just hang around and wait for graduation.
.
…
After being led around the school by his classmates for more than an hour, Chen Xing went to Professor Nobel's office to complete the remaining registration procedures.
Now, Chen Xing can tell outsiders without any scruples that he is a student at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs.
What kind of hotel management, go to hell.
When he came back from school, the road was a little more lively. Chen Xing bought some decorations in a store selling small commodities. After returning to his room and decorating it a little, Chen Xing felt that the desk was too empty, so he went to the Seine River to buy some decorations.
Some second-hand books.
The Seine River has always been a paradise for old books. Many second-hand book stalls have been set up here more than a hundred years ago. Today, the bookstalls along the Seine River have long been a must-see for tourists visiting Paris.<
/p>
Although book sellers are now selling some souvenirs in order to make money, there are also many traditional book sellers.
Carrying a stack of books, he returned to his residence. The two roommates had not returned yet. Only Aunt Liz and Uncle Feida were at home. Seeing that Chen Xing had brought back some more books, they said with satisfaction: "Reading is a good habit in our country."
One, I’m glad you like it too.”
Chen Xing smiled, went up to put away his things, and came down again to ask about the accommodation fee while his two roommates were not around.
But Uncle Feida said in advance before Chen Xing spoke: "Are you satisfied with our family?"
"I like the room very much and everyone is very easy to get along with."
"Of course, Pena and Shah Rukh are both good kids, and so are you, Xing." Aunt Lizzy said.
Accommodation outside the school is definitely much more expensive than inside the school, but the price of 120 euros a week still makes Chen Xing feel heartache. If this continues, his less than 40,000 euros will soon be spent.
.
The income from Bip Station and columns alone cannot make up for the high consumption in Europe.
Damn it, why haven’t I found any serious advertisements yet?
In the evening, after Chen Xing read the messages again, he declined the advertisements from two European study abroad agencies. He once again thought of old man John's suggestion... It seemed that it was time to move his domestic ones to YouTube.
In order to benefit from it earlier and at least not worry about money, Chen Xing edited overnight.
And redubbed.
Now Chen Xing edits faster, because he doesn’t have any special effects. It mainly takes a while to write the text and dubbing, so he only posted three of them for most of the night.
His YouTube channel also has his own name [Chen Xing], which is the same as in China.
When I took the textbook to school the next day, I couldn't help but yawn.
After leaving the previous school, Chen Xing liked the life of going to bed late and getting up late. Now it is very difficult to accept returning to such a life. We can only wait and see if we can get used to it after doing this for a few more days.
The teacher of International Photography History is a fifty-year-old white aunt.
"Today we are going to learn about the Photographic Secession. This faction was founded by Alfred Stieglitz in 1902. It is a group of painterly photographers whose members include Edward..."
Sitting next to Chen Xing was a male classmate who showed him around the school dormitory. He asked in a low voice: "We saw about you yesterday. You actually won a Category A award at the Nice Winter Photography Festival. This is amazing.
”
"Thank you." Chen Xing was weak.
I took out my phone and looked at my channel.

Buzz...
The phone vibrated.
There is another message.
Chen Xinghe quickly went up to take a look at it, just as he had uploaded it to Beep.
[It’s hard to see such primitive places on the Chinese mainland. In recent years, all I’ve seen is the prosperity of Shanghai, Yanjing, and Guangzhou. I haven’t returned to China in ten years. Just looking at it on the Internet, I thought there was no such thing as my motherland.
