The female interviewer nodded with a smile, pointed to the separate chair opposite, and said, "Hello, please sit down." While Chen Xing was sitting down, several interviewers looked at Chen Xing again. Star entries.
Several people looked at each other, and one of them said: "When we saw your work before, we thought it was amazing. Technically speaking, the processing is very good, and the coloring is also very good. You have this kind of work at such a young age. The level is very rare." Chen Xing smiled and nodded.
"Thank you." A middle-aged man with most of his head bald said immediately after Chen Xing answered: "You're welcome, but you know that your works, whether they are night scenes of ancient villages or old people praying in the mountains, all have a sense of A strong Chinese flavor?"
"I know, but deal with it this way..." Halfway through Chen Xing's words, the middle-aged female interviewer interrupted.
"You don't have any international mainstream style in this way. I didn't even look at your information yesterday. I just looked at your works and I knew you were from China. For a young photographer like you who is on the rise... "She shook her head.
"I don't deny what you said." Chen Xing said with a serious expression.
"After all, I have grown up in a Chinese environment since I was a child. Whether it is the Chinese culture that has been passed down for thousands of years or my living habits, they will naturally affect the creation of my works. And I am very satisfied with this. I like our country's ancient traditional culture very much, and I will not deliberately avoid him." Several interviewers were silent for a moment, and one of them reminded in a low voice: "He was recommended by Cockburn, and I read his works. The level is also relatively high. If there are no other problems, let him pass." Chen Xing's hearing is very good. After all, he was initially rewarded with an adaptive physique by the system.
This tuned all his senses to their best. Did they say Coburn? President Zhou? It turns out that the French also want to talk about guanxi. It seems that no matter which country you are in, you can't avoid using the back door to build guanxi.
Chen Xing was still sighing in his heart. He didn't expect that he ended up entering this college because of someone else's relationship. But it was fine, everything went smoothly, and he would become an alumnus of many famous people in the future.
But that woman didn't seem to give President Zhou face. She said, "Do you have any other styles?" Of course.
Among Chen Xing's four best works, one was taken by Chen Xing on a snow mountain with his teammates climbing up. There is no Chinese style in it that these interviewers don't like.
but. Why? Chen Xing suddenly felt resentful in his heart. Don’t these photos look good?
In other words, what is it about Chinese style that offends you? Chen Xing doesn't understand why some photos have no light and shadow. They are so simple that they can be taken to a museum for people to see. But how good are the photos he took that you have to pick and choose?
Especially this French woman. Who are you? Have your photos appeared in the Masterpieces of the French Art Association?
Chen Xing shook his head and said: "No, all my works are like this. According to you, they all have Chinese style." The interviewer asked other questions, and then took out a few photos taken from the works for Chen Xing to Stars to rate.
Chen Xing took a look. Everything is stable, there is nothing particularly eye-catching, so I just made a simple evaluation.
"Which photographer's work do you prefer?"
"I prefer joelmeyerowitz."
"Do you like his understanding of colors?"
"Yes, I also like his attitude towards street photography."... These interviewers have been dealing with it since Chen Xing rejected them. The only one who has a good impression of him is the one who named President Zhou. He must be a friend of Chairman Zhou.
Chen Xing probably guessed his result. After Chen Xing finished all the steps and walked out of the room, they started to discuss.
"Mr. Coburn just came to ask about his affairs this morning. How can I go see him in such a short time? This student doesn't seem to be a stupid person. Couldn't he see your perfunctory behavior?"
"Cockburn is a master of oil painting, but what does it have to do with us?" The woman was expressionless, and then asked several other colleagues: "What do you think of his works?"
"The structure is impeccable, and he has a good grasp of light. If he can add more color to the photos, he should achieve something in the future. Maybe we should accept him?"
“When will Chinese-style photography become mainstream?”
"Indeed, it's a bit of a pity."
"There is indeed some lack of artistic sensitivity. Like most Chinese people, he is too conservative. And we have given him a chance. If he is willing to abandon this style, we will not be stingy with a quota."
"Indeed, it's such a pity."...... Chen Xing walked out of the school with a sullen face. He could see that these interviewers had no objections to his work itself, but they were not used to the strong Chinese style in his work.
For example, the Miao wooden houses in the village, thousands of lights, or the Tibetan elders worshiping on the snow-capped mountains. He was just confused now.
Is it only the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris that has this view, or do all art academies have the same view as them.
Art is not something that everyone will like from birth, just like the works in the museum that are visited by people. If one fifth of the people can understand the connotation of the painter or the creator, then this piece of art will not be liked by everyone. The work has become a kind of popular art.
The threshold for photography is very low, but the principle is the same. If Chen Xing is really rejected by this school, he won't be too sad, but he will definitely still have regrets.
I feel sorry for myself and for the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. You may regret it later. Abel jumped out of nowhere and shouted behind Chen Xing: "Hey! Why are you walking so fast?"
"Ah, why are you here?" Abel said nothing, walked around to Chen Xing, and said, "Did the interview not go well? It doesn't matter, you received interview invitations from so many colleges, but you didn't go to the Paris Academy of Fine Arts. OK, you can go to other places too." This is true.
If they are not interested in their own works, these academies will not send invitations.
"I know, I'll be fine, don't worry." It's not that he can't shoot other styles. He just gained a color talent a few days ago. He experimented and found that he could create a work with a strong color style and a cyberpunk style. He had seen such works at the French Art Association.
This should be considered mainstream. However, if Chen Xing is allowed to enter the academy, Chen Xing will not allow him to take the photos he likes.
Then go to TM for university.
