After Chen Xing ordered it, the boss packed the three things Chen Xing ordered on a plate and brought it over.
The serving speed is even faster than fast food. Anyway, everything is prepared in advance. As long as you want to eat whatever you want, after ordering, the boss will just cut a knife into the cake and it's done. The whole process takes less than a minute.
The so-called beef pie in this restaurant looks like a pizza without cheese. The cake is wrapped with ham and beef. There are many ingredients and the taste is very rich. The lentil pie is also salty, which makes Chen Xing feel less Tired of it.
Abel had something to do in the afternoon, so Chen Xing went to the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris alone. The interview invitation for this college was sent to Chen Xing’s email address together with the Paris Academy of Fine Arts.
If the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris had President Zhou help make the recommendation and let the teachers at the School of Photography know about Chen Xing in advance and send out an invitation, then the National School of Decorative Arts really saw Chen Xing. An interview invitation was immediately sent out after receiving Xing’s work.
Chen Xing had never thought about this issue before, and at that time he felt that given his level, it would be better to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, so he didn't take the Academy of Decorative Arts seriously.
After having dinner at noon, Chen Xing began to look forward to the interview in the afternoon after thinking clearly about the cause and effect.
The Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris does not have much popularity in China, but it is very well-known in France, or internationally, with names such as Andix, Master, Florence, and Archer. internationally renowned photographer.
Chen Xing said it didn't matter, he would continue his trip as if nothing happened. But I was still looking forward to the interview in the afternoon, and I was even a little nervous. Perhaps the suppression by the Paris Academy of Fine Arts had a certain effect on Chen Xing.
Before the interview, Chen Xing washed his face and rearranged his clothes in the college bathroom.
Back outside the office mentioned in the email, at about 3:10, the last candidate walked out of the room with a frustrated expression. You could tell at a glance whether he had passed the interview or not.
A staff member wearing a red down jacket came out and shouted: "Chen, Chen Xing, Chen Xing from China!"
"I am here."
"It's your turn, come in." Chen Xing thanked him, opened the door and walked into the classroom. The layout here is not much different from that at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, but the teachers do not watch the works on tablets, but on a huge TV, which shows the Miao Village shot by Chen Xing in Chunman Village.
There were four examiners conducting the interview. Several examiners had a good attitude towards Chen Xing. They each introduced themselves first, and then asked Chen Xing to sit on the chair opposite.
One of them said: "Chen, when did you start learning photography?"
"I started to get into it when I was 16." In fact, Chen Xing only got into photography for about half a year, but in this case, he was completely unable to explain the origin of the countless knowledge in his mind. Just writing down that knowledge would not be possible within a year. It can be done, maybe these instructors will think that Chen Xing is lying to them.
This is not worth the gain. When I was 16 years old, I had just left my hometown and came to a new city to study, so it made sense that I should be introduced to photography.
“It’s really amazing that we can reach this level in just three years.”
"The talent is so good." Several examiners began to praise Chen Xing without any scruples, regardless of whether Chen Xing was around or not. This was a bit hard for him to accept... He was doing so with the possibility of being ridiculed. Came with the idea.
"The photography is very difficult and detailed, and the structure is ingenious. I like the small lights in the work very much. It makes the wooden house have the charm of traveling through time and space. It has a strong personal style. You can be said to be a fully mature artist. Gao I'm a lot better than a student." Does this mean you still don't want to accept me?
But others were also praising him, so Chen Xing nodded and said thank you.
"Tell me what you were thinking at the time."
"Okay, dear examiners, this work was taken in a small village in China. Because of its remote location and isolation, this village has perfectly preserved the architectural style of three centuries ago, and the neighbors are harmonious. There is no debris picked up on the road, which gives the place an overall peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. There are two high points here, both of which are small hillsides. I was on one of the hillside watching the lights in the picture light up, and then became more and more It was so bright that it illuminated the village, giving me the feeling that Chinese civilization had stepped out of the picture, so I took this photo and named it Oriental Charm." One of the teachers couldn't help but applaud, and then asked: "What about this one?" The TV showed the second work sent by Chen Xing, The Power of Faith.
Chen Xing continued to talk about his thoughts at the time. These teachers are completely different from the ones I saw in the morning. They did not comment on the style of Chen Xing's works. They only talked about the feeling Chen Xing's paintings brought to them, as well as the perfect composition, mastery of light and shadow, etc.
Even sitting still and listening to it was not enough, several teachers walked to the TV and listened to Chen Xing's introduction while appreciating the work up close.
A few photos were introduced quickly. The teachers began to ask Chen Xing questions, but the way they asked them was not like a test, but like a discussion. Everyone talked enthusiastically for fifteen minutes. At this time, the door suddenly opened, and the staff member who had called Chen Xing in for the interview before Said: "I'm sorry to disturb you, teachers, our time is very tight..."
"okok, we got it." Everyone calmed down and returned to their seats to sit down.
"Ahem, okay, let's continue. Chen, according to the procedure, we have to ask you a question, why did you choose our school." Um.
Chen Xing's CPU suddenly ran out of power. This question is a bit difficult to answer. He is not a person who is good at words.
It must be because your school is world-famous. I come to enjoy the excellent education and system, and with the support of the school, I will have more face when introducing myself to others in the future.
In other words, there are many beauties. When I came here just now, I was thinking about the interview, but I accidentally noticed that there are many beauties in this school - this should be nonsense, there should be no art school with fewer beauties.
He suddenly remembered what the old man on the plane said to him. Foreigners don’t like to talk nonsense, so you don’t have to think about anything convoluted when communicating with them.
So, Chen Xing made a mental note and said: "Because I like the atmosphere of the Paris School of Decorative Arts and the work of photographer Florence, I want to come and see what the school that has trained so many photography masters is like. , so I came.” It doesn’t have to be said to be false, but it can’t be said directly that the Ecole des Beaux-Arts didn’t want me, and then I came.
This is not straight, this is a brain problem. Chen Xing does like Florence. After all, this photographer is very beautiful and is currently one of the most famous female photographers in the world.
One teacher laughed loudly and said: "I knew that many young people who chose our school in the past few years came here because of Florence. I didn't expect that girl to become the signature of our school. Yes, you guys What do you think?" Several teachers nodded with smiles.
The man at the far end stood up and extended his right hand towards Chen Xing: "The Paris School of Decorative Arts welcomes you, Chen."
