Chen Xing asked outside the house. He was also worried about Hedwig's condition. She was a withdrawn person to begin with, so don't let her become autistic.
"I'm fine, I'm just tired."
"Is it your father? He is not good to you?"
"No, he is very good to me. Please, please, let's talk next time, okay..."
"Ok, ok, you have a good rest, do I know? I am your friend."
There must be some problem about family.
Chen Xing didn't want to force Hedwig. He had finally managed to make Hedwig a little more cheerful this month. He must not turn the relationship that was finally broken through into the kind of relationship where "I will feel embarrassed when I see you." Then when he leaves next month, Hedwig instantly changes back to her previous appearance, so what's the point of his Hedwig transformation plan?
Continuing to go downstairs to eat, the two landlords asked Chen Xing about Hedwig.
Chen Xing shook his head.
…………
The days of studying in France were very fulfilling and gradually filled up the boring feeling of not being able to travel far away.
Chen Xing’s store visits in Paris these past few days have indeed allowed Chen Xing to find several good places.
There is an authentic Sichuan restaurant located on rue descartes (Descartes Street), which is a place that ordinary people cannot find. Chen Xing was brought here by a second-year Chinese student, and he ate here for several days in a row. p>
The name is Sichuan Province.
His store is only the size of an ordinary storefront, but there is an endless stream of Chinese people coming here to eat.
After class today, Chen Xing made an appointment with his sophomore friend who brought him here for dinner. This junior is two years older than Chen Xing. He is 22 years old and majoring in animation design. Anyway, most of the students in this school are xx designers.
, Chen Xing and the others seemed out of place.
Chen Xing pulled up his chair and sat down, complaining: "The teacher who taught photography today is definitely an old pervert. The models he demonstrated were all so-called beautiful girls. A group of boys in our class wanted to go up and slap him twice."
In their school, in other majors, there are more girls than boys. In the photography class, there are more girls than boys. Among the dozen or so students, there are only two or three girls who are good at it, and they are loved to death.
The brother opposite laughed twice.
His name is He Yiming, a native of Shandong. He knew Chen Xing because of the paintings in the corridor, so he went to look for Chen Xing.
There are only seven or eight Chinese people in the school, so of course they have to stick together.
Speaking of cliques, Koreans are the best at cliques in school. Chen Xing often sees a group of them going out to eat, have parties, etc. It is difficult for students from other countries, including the French, to integrate into them.
Or they don’t care at all.
Those people are quite proud.
"Are you going back to China this holiday?" He Yiming asked.
Chen Xing nodded and said: "I will definitely go back, but I won't be able to stay for long. I already have an intern teacher in my fourth grade. He asked me to go to Africa with him earlier."
"Africa?"
"Well, he cooperated with France 2 earlier this year and went to Africa to film local cultural life... I was also convinced. Don't the French understand Africa? Are they going to make documentaries?"
"Um..."
He Yiming looked around nervously.
Most of the people who eat here can order in Chinese. It would be troublesome if there were Africans here
"Please keep your voice down, aren't you afraid of death?"
Chen Xing also looked around like him and felt relieved: "I kept my voice low enough. Alas, I won't be here for long anyway, so I will just go on a trip."
In fact, if nothing else, there are still some scenery worth seeing in Africa.
The famous Sahara Desert, South African prairie and so on.
"Nice, cool, envious, envious, if I had known I would also learn photography." He Yiming shook his head and said.
However, he only talked about it, if he didn't really like his major, he would not have passed the Paris High School. This kind of school gathers the top geniuses, which not only tests your basic level, but also
I also want you to have a part of your artistic achievements.
He also entered this school after taking the third exam after winning the award.
The food is here.
Authentic Sichuan Province fat intestine fish. Although the herring used as the ingredient is farmed, the meat tastes very fragrant and tender. Even people like Chen Xing who don't like fish like this dish very much, especially the fat intestine in it. It’s just a bit less, so I have to add an extra portion every time I come.
Life has been quite leisurely recently, and Chen Xing didn’t go around much when he had time outside of classes. He was either taking Hedwig to the movies or shopping, or doing important things in his room.
Doing big things means writing books.
He wants to write a physical book about Paris travel, which currently has more than 100,000 words. The content includes accommodation in Paris, various attractions in Paris, subway guide and various restaurants in Paris.
When writing about France, Paris must be the most important part.
I haven't started writing other parts yet. According to the regions, Chen Xing also wants to write about Normandy, Brittany, Central Region, Southern France, etc. These regions are where Chinese people like to go after coming to France.
place.
First, I write about my feelings about traveling, and then I write about the stories I encountered while traveling.
The total number of words in the book is approximately 200,000 words or less.
This idea was actually suggested by fans on Bee Nest. After Chen Xing signed the contract, his travel notes were often posted on the homepage of Bee Nest due to their high quality. Some time ago, Chen Xing wrote a travel note about Monet’s Garden, which received 30,000 likes in one day.
More than a thousand comments.
Although the data is low, Bee Nest is a travel app, and it is no better than Bilibili YouTube.
Thirty thousand likes a day is pretty good.
So he has been writing this book these days.
There are also domestic matters. His company has been established, and its name is Xingxing Cultural Tourism Company. But in fact, it is just a shell company. For the time being, it only has the project of Chunman Shuizhai. There may also be Chen Xing's photography work in the future.
room.
The company is not easy to manage, so Chen Xing thinks it would be great if he could manage his own photography studio well.
But I can’t start it now, at least until I get my diploma.
After dinner, Chen Xing took the subway back to the dormitory.
Shah Rukh rarely comes back recently, but every time he comes back he is very happy. Everyone in the family discusses whether he has found love. Hedwig is much the same as before. She likes to stay in the studio after school.
Her paintings seem to have been spotted by a modern gallery, and now the gallery is charging 1,200 euros per painting, so this woman is also a little rich woman, and she can support herself even if her family doesn't send money.
Chen Xing is different.
The price of his commercial photography has increased. The cover is still 5,000, but the price of the inside pages has increased to 2,000.
Currently, people who are looking for Chen Xing want Chen Xing to shoot in that retro style, but this style is a bit strange on the cover, so more people are looking for him to shoot the inside pages of magazines, and the price has gone up. p>
Six o'clock in the evening.
"vogue" magazine.
This is a magazine focusing on fashion, beauty, and lifestyle. It was founded in the United States in 1892 and now has 70 international editions. Compared with elle, Vogue pays attention to real fashion and is more authoritative in the fashion industry.
The levels are almost the same, it can only be said that each has its own emphasis.
This was the first time for Chen Xing to come to this magazine. The assistant on the third floor took him into a very simple reception room and sat down. Next to this reception room was an office. It looked very grand, but no one was there.
Here.
"What drink do you want?"
"Just give me a Coke."
The secretary showed contempt for Chen Xing and walked out quickly.
Chen Xing is very sensitive to other people's emotional changes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and watched her go out... How about I drink Coke? Is it okay to drink coffee at this time and not be able to sleep at night? This kind of attitude will sooner or later be fired.
After a while, a man who looked like a leader came over. He looked like an Asian. He spoke fluent Mandarin and said: "Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Zhang Bao, the fashion and beauty editor-in-chief of Vogue China.
”
Chen Xing stood up, shook hands with him, and said: "Hello, hello, this... simplified version?"
"It's from the Mainland." Zhang Bao said with a smile, "The works you took for another magazine were very popular among our domestic readers. This time I came to France on a business trip. I heard that you were here, so I came here specially to see you.
”
"You gave me the award. I just said that the collaboration this time was with a French magazine. I was a little surprised to hear you talk about the mainland version."
Although these magazines all have the same name, the copyrights in each country are operated independently. The company Chen Xing signed with before was French Vogue. The price of four photos was 2,000 euros, which meant that they were only shot for French Vogue.
"I know that Ms. Alt will come to see you soon. We have just arrived, so we take the liberty of disturbing you."
"It's okay."
Chen Xing's little head is going crazy. He really doesn't like to deal with this kind of thing. If you have anything to say, please tell me.
But thanks to him, Chen Xing knows a lot about the response of his works in China. The photos he takes now are even more popular than the previous award-winning photos. Even though many people don’t know who Alijie is, they like Chen Xing.
Such a photography style.
Soon the landlord came.
Zhang Bao stood up and said: "You guys are busy first, Mr. Chen Xing. Can I call you later?"
"Okay."
French Vogue is also the editor-in-chief of a category called Emmanuelle Alt, a woman of the same age as Sophie Marceau, but more vigorous and decisive. Chen Xing is a little stressed when communicating with her.
I always feel like students face the dean.
The models in this shoot are the most ordinary group. Some time ago, the former editor-in-chief of British Vogue, Alexandra Schulman, publicly questioned whether the fashion industry was too pursuing the models' figures and criticized the designers' designs.
The clothes were too small, making the models skinny.
So this issue will be about the plump type.
Chen Xing is now very proficient in commercial photography. After adjusting in the studio for a few minutes, he quickly took four photos.
There are six female models in their 20s in the photo. They are of various races, from Middle Easterners to blacks. Blacks are not mixed-race, and their skin has a pure frosted texture. It was really difficult to shoot.<
/p>
The light was low, and the faces of several models were not uniform.
Hit too high.
The key is that the frosting also reflects light, making the forehead and cheeks so bright that you can't see the details clearly.
Fortunately, Chen Xing is of high standard.
It took half an hour to take these photos, and Chen Xing finally heard Editor Emmanuel nod and say: "That's it."
Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, put down the camera, and a passing employee patted him on the shoulder.
One of the models came over to Chen Xing and said, "You did a great job shooting. Can you leave me your contact information?"
"You can add me on Instagram." Chen Xing said.
"Call it over and call it a day!"
There were several Chinese people in the studio. After the shooting, they all came over to chat with Chen Xing and became friends. However, when Emmanuel came over, everyone quickly dispersed, leaving Chen Xing alone.
.
"I am very satisfied with this cooperation. We can also look for you for future cover shoots. Do you have any other styles of works?"
"Yes, I will send it to you when I get back."
What are the inner pages? If you can shoot covers, you are considered a great commercial photographer.
After she left, someone else came up to her.
"Many of us are working outside, and there are also quite a few photographers. Now we have finally become famous. If you take photos alone in the future, you can call me when you need a stylist."
Someone complained: "There are many photographers in Vogue, but every time we shoot for the magazine, they are hired from outside. It's really strange."
A certain fashion photographer shrank his head.
What can I do? Foreign monks like to chant sutras.
After coming out of the studio, at the entrance of the corridor, Chen Xing also saw the girl who despised him for drinking Coke, and saw a group of people who were still putting on makeup when they came out... Sooner or later, they will be kicked out, Chen Xing thought to himself.
Before Chen Xing walked out of the magazine, Zhang Bao called.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The two met at the coffee shop opposite the magazine. Chen Xing sat down and asked the waiter who brought him over: "Are there any drinks besides coffee?"
"Yes, we also have cream coffee, Americano, cream espresso, Vienna coffee..."
"No, no, no, I want juice. Is there any juice?"
"Yes, we have juice, too."
"Mr. Chen doesn't like drinking coffee?" Zhang Bao asked.
"I still want to have a good night's sleep. If I drink coffee at this time, I won't be able to sleep at night."
Zhang Bao nodded and said, "That's true, but I got used to it after drinking too much coffee. Now if I don't drink American coffee, I usually don't have the problem of being unable to sleep."
Americano is the kind of coffee that is very bitter, bitter and astringent, at least that's how Chen Xing understands it. If it wasn't too late, he would probably want a cup of espresso. This kind of coffee is delicious and suitable for Chen Xing.
Ordinary people like Xing.
"What do you want from me?" Chen Xing asked.
Zhang Bao said seriously: "Indeed, we want to do an exclusive interview with you, is that okay?"
"Okay." Chen Xing nodded, took the juice the waiter just brought over, and asked, "What time?"
"Now."
"Now? Here?"
Zhang Bao took out a voice recorder and said: "Yeah, if you feel uncomfortable, we can go back to Vogue, but I don't think it's necessary. It's just some very simple questions."
Chen Xing drank half a glass of juice and thought, "Why don't you talk about money?"
However, the Chinese version of Vogue is also a big company, so Chen Xing nodded and agreed.
Zhang Bao turned on the recording and said:
"Actually, I'm sorry. We should send reporters to do this job, but we don't have reporters in France for the time being. Since we meet them, let me make a guest appearance. You have conquered the French photography world with your retro style. Can you tell me about this style?
Was it you who pioneered it? Is there anything you can learn from?"
"Hong Kong style and British retro are actually something we can all learn from. I personally have loved watching Hong Kong movies since I was a child, and I like this style very much. Later, when I was working on elle, I combined my own feelings to shoot that style. I'm glad that the response was so good.
