"Come and see! The big guys who graduated in half a year are coming to school!"
"Chen from the photography class?"
"It's really him..."
There are few people in the school and there are frequent interactions. The news that Professor Nobel helped Chen Xing apply for early graduation has spread among the students.
The fourth and fifth years are originally the internship stage. Excellent students can indeed graduate early, but usually they have to wait until the end of the first year.
Even better, the performance in the first, second and third study stages is so good that there are also students who graduate directly without having to study in the fourth grade. Eighty percent of the students who graduate in this way are now rising stars in their respective circles, or have become internationally renowned designers.
Teachers, photographers, painters, etc.
But what about Chen Xing.
It only took half a year to get my diploma.
Do you know why the internship period is two years?
This is the school's method of obtaining diplomas for students with weak foundations. Those who really do not meet the requirements may have to study for another year after fifth grade, otherwise they may not be able to obtain their diplomas.
Romanchenko, who had just walked out of the school photography studio, looked at Chen Xing with complicated eyes for a long time. Finally, he hesitantly stepped forward to stop Chen Xing and asked: "Chen, I heard that you have a good relationship with the editor-in-chief of elle magazine. Can you?"
Can’t you tell him something for us?”
"We?"
Chen Xing asked, he was very curious about the extra word.
Romanchenko is the coordinator of their photography class, which is also the grade representative, which is basically what the prefect in Harry Potter means, and his relationship with Chen Xing has always been good.
"Yes, we, elle magazine recently invited many emerging photographers to participate in a competition. There are many students in our class who can participate, but because this year's semester started too late, some students missed the registration time."
"Oh..."
Chen Xing’s tone was calm.
It's not that he doesn't want to help, but it's a tone of disillusionment.
Romanchenko is a typical Russian girl. Although she looks good, her personality has always been a bit masculine. Chen Xing tried several dates but failed to date her, and then gave up. Anyway, there are many beautiful girls in the school. This time
When he heard her talking about us, Chen Xing thought she also talked about her boyfriend.
"No?" Romanchenko frowned.
"Okay, this shouldn't be a difficult thing, but my help can't be in vain. You have to treat me to a meal."
Romanchenko breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
The two wanted to go in the same direction, so they walked together on the way. Chen Xing asked his classmates how they were working in the photography studio.
Romanchenko said: "We have only been here for a week. There is always work, and everyone handles it well. But without special opportunities, it is difficult to get out of the commercial photography circle. Hey, this is probably the case in this school.
Is this the biggest difficulty in learning photography?"
The best major in Paris high fashion is of course design, followed by painting and finally photography.
The photography here serves fashion most of the time.
Only those with ability and luck can step out of this circle and become landscape photographers like Chen Xing who are remembered by countless people.
If you don’t have this kind of luck, then you should continue to work in the field of commercial photography. Most of the photographers in the school are also in this circle, so it is not difficult to make money. If you do well, you can be as famous as Senior Dellin.
Various countries, go abroad to participate in programs and so on.
Chen Xing couldn't help. The popularity of photographers depends on various reasons, which cannot be solved by one person.
"How does it feel to win the grand prize at the Arles Photography Festival?" Romanchenko asked.
"Fortunately, there haven't been any changes in my life. There have been more collaborations, but I don't take many business deals now, so it won't have much impact."
"I really envy you. I also went to see your works during the photography festival. They are really great. They give me the impression of China."
"Anyway, they all call me Chinese photographer now."
Romanchenko's eyes became very emotional, and he sighed and said: "When will the media call me a Russian photographer? Our country also has many cultures that are very different from Europe. After seeing your photos, I really want to go back to the country.
They filmed it."
Chen Xing is about to say goodbye to Romanchenko at this corner, and the two of them will stay here.
He put his hand on the Russian girl's shoulder and said: "Then go take pictures. Westerners don't know much about China or Russia now. Even if they don't want to become famous, they should show more cultural works of their own countries.
It never hurts to be on Twitter."
For the Chinese, Russia and Europe are both the West, but in fact, Russian culture is completely different from Europe.
Those who study art should understand the difference.
Russian art, like Chinese art, is relatively independent.
Romanchenko nodded and asked: "What are your plans in the future? Do you have any ideas after graduation?"
"If you have any ideas, let's play around."
The two hugged here and each went about his or her own business.
Professor Nobel was already waiting in the office with several of his teachers. After Chen Xing went up, he answered a few questions. After several teachers unanimously agreed, he was officially approved for graduation and took him to see the vice president.<
/p>
The school has only had the vice principal here for a long time, and the principal is basically just an honorary person.
This is a middle-aged woman with blond hair and a slightly out-of-shape body, but she can tell that she was also a very beautiful Western woman when she was young.
"Chen, you should be considered the most influential student in our school now, right? Please sit down."
Graduating early is not just a matter of stamping a stamp on the graduation certificate. After being reminded by the professor, Chen Xing knew that he would have to wait here for nearly 20 minutes, so he sat on the sofa in the office without being polite to the principal.
The vice-principal looked at Chen Xing with a kind look, asked someone to make a cup of coffee, and then motioned for Chen Xing to look at a work on the wall next to him.
"Look over there."
There are not too many decorations in the office for the sake of beauty. There are only two or three oil paintings or photos here. Chen Xing saw here the work that he had taken before to show off his skills, which only had composition and lines. It was well received by the tourists who came to visit.
Average.
"Principal..."
"Don't worry, I do like your photo better. Although it is simple, don't things in nature rely on light and lines to produce beauty? I don't know much about the art of photography, but I can see your point.
The foundation is very solid, and I like your work very much."
She is an art student, and art is a major where lineism is popularized. Their acceptance of line works will be higher than the average person.
"Do you remember our school motto?" the principal asked again.
Chen Xing nodded and said: "Education is free and research is independent."
"I also approved your transfer documents for admission to the school. I thought you would have to study for at least two years, but I didn't expect you to win the highest award in the photography industry. After graduation, you must always remember our school motto and be careful when studying and creating.
Maintain your own freedom and independent thinking in the process, and be a fashion leader rather than a follower. I believe you have this ability."
"Thank you very much for your attention."
"Well, okay, I will notify you to pick up the diploma after a period of time. I have no problem here, you can do it yourself."
Chen Xing nodded and walked out of the office.
When no one was around, the vice-principal sighed.
Their school motto is freedom in education and independence in research, and they must ensure their own creative freedom at all times. This applies equally to photography students.
The school does not say that students must take commercial photography or portraits. It even encourages students to take more other things, become directors, and take pictures of landscapes, just like Nobel has always taught Chen Xing. p>
However, because other majors in the school are so strong, photographers from the same school have a natural shortcut to reach the middle level of the industry, or even to the top commercial photographers, without having to climb much.
There are too few students like Chen Xing who have their own style and stick to it.
Nobel is right. If there is a chance in the future, Chen Xing will really be the one to teach students in a photography class. If he can change his mind a little, there will always be a few more talented young photographers in the school.
An international photographer.
Chen Xing went downstairs relaxedly.
My studies have finally undergone a major update. I have changed from a student at a prestigious school to a graduate from a prestigious school. In the future, I will not be inferior to others in terms of culture.
The second best art school in France and one of the top ten art schools in the world, it’s very prestigious to say it.
Now that it is time for class, there are many fewer students in the garden downstairs, but there are still people who are not in class reading in the garden. The pressure of graduation is great for many people, but Chen Xing will still gain something when he walks by.
A lot of envious eyes.
I graduated from school at the age of 0,
Many people enter Paris Haute Couture as first-year students in their twenties. Chen Xing is too young.
He himself is relatively famous in the school. If this school also has a list with unknown meaning such as school eldest brother, Chen Xing must be one of them. Although he has an oriental appearance, his face is not as flat as an oriental person.
, sharp edges and corners, outstanding in every aspect.
Now because he graduated early, the whole school has suffered again.
The weather in October is the best month in many countries. The plane trees in this season have also begun to turn yellow. When a gust of wind blows, a group of leaves will be taken away from the trees and fall on the perennially green grass. Picture
Very romantic.
Some students brought cameras or set up drawing boards to depict this scene.
It was still early, and Hedwig didn't go back to her school. Chen Xing didn't leave in a hurry after thinking about it, and sat under his favorite tree for the last time.
There is a student practicing violin not far away.
Although it's just practice, if you can stand in the most crowded place in the school and practice without caring about others, your skills are not much different.
I don’t know what the song is, but it sounds very beautiful.
The leaves danced with the wind, as if accompanied by a rustling sound. This environment made Chen Xing feel very comfortable, so he quickly fell asleep here. He was woken up by a familiar friend two hours later. At this time, the leaves were rustling.
Many fell down and landed in front of Chen Xing.
He had the urge to pick up leaves and collect them.
But he still left like this.
What are you collecting? It’s not like he won’t come back. If he has time, he would like to continue studying oil painting in school.
When she got home, Hedwig had already returned. She heard the sound of the door opening in the room, and quickly hid the painting she was admiring... This was a work she had painted for the love of the two before, and it was also
I haven’t thought of a way to give it to Chen Xing.
But it definitely wasn’t just an ordinary gift.
At least until Christmas or Chen Xing’s birthday.
Hedwig quickly went downstairs and asked: "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet."
"Then I'll do it for you."
French families often eat bread, but Chen Xing likes French stews, so these days they have stews at home. There are all kinds of them, which makes Chen Xing addicted. Although the stews here have different seasonings,
The texture of the meat and vegetables is no different from the Northeast Chinese stew.
People who are used to eating Chinese food must be used to eating stew in France.
Chen Xing is going to Sweden in two days. What Hedwig thinks about this country is that its name is a bit like Switzerland, and then there are the snowy mountains, because she heard that Swedish skiing is very popular, and many Europeans like to go there anytime.
Go skiing in Sweden.
As someone who is about to go to Sweden, Chen Xing doesn’t know much about this country.
Among the Nordic countries, Chen Xing knows more about Iceland and Norway. He went to Sweden mainly because of the Hasselblad factory.
The camera is as important to the photographer as the sword in the hand of a swordsman. Now the world's top sword-hiding villa wants to make a sword specially for you. Which swordsman can't be ecstatic?
For this reason, it would be no problem for Chen Xing to set the first stop of his Nordic travel in Sweden.
Three days later.
Chen Xing began to pack his luggage for the long journey.
One of his traveling habits is not to bring too many clothes, otherwise the suitcase will be too bulky, and it will be difficult to bring a lot of supporting equipment such as cameras and lenses. Moreover, Chen Xing has the habit of bringing books when traveling, which is even more difficult.
Convenient to bring too many clothes.
Anyway, if you have money, you can buy it somewhere else.
Because there was an invitation letter from Sweden, the visa was processed online, and the people from the embassy in Paris personally delivered the things.
Visa is the most difficult thing to apply for when you go abroad for the first time.
Some small countries that are famous for travel are okay. In developed countries like France and Sweden, if the visa officer sees that you have no travel history, it will be a little more difficult to apply for a visa.
It will be much easier the second time.
Unless you go to a Middle Eastern country for the first time and want to travel to America for the second time, 90% of the time you will be turned back.
Chen Xing didn't let Hedwig see him off. The two kissed at the door for two minutes, and then Chen Xing got into the taxi he called. The more he knew about Paris, the more he felt disgusted with the environment outside the safe zone.
There are also those Gypsies who are famous for their enthusiasm and dancing in Chinese education, and they are also a scourge of Paris.
He doesn't want to squeeze into the subway with so many things and what to do if he encounters a thief.
