surprise! This was really a surprise for Chen Xing. Even though they had been very kind to him before, no one could have guessed what would happen until the final result was announced. He was even prepared to be ridiculed.
If he fails this time, Chen Xing may not participate in subsequent interviews. As a systematic person, Chen Xing is very proud at heart.
It's okay to fail once. Chen Xing just thinks that the people at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts have different views on art than his own. After all, no matter how good the work is, some people will dislike it. Art is inherently a very idealistic thing.
But failing for the second time means that his photography method is indeed not welcomed by the West, at least not by Paris.
So he will never go for a third interview. But he actually passed, and it went so smoothly. The teachers who interviewed him did not have the vicious attitude Chen Xing had towards students in his impression. Instead, they used a peer-to-peer discussion method to let Chen Xing pass the interview.
After the surprise, Chen Xing asked: "Don't you think my works have too many Chinese elements?"
"Chinese elements? It is indeed there, but what happened?"
"The Chinese scenery is very beautiful. I like it very much. No one has stipulated that photography cannot have Chinese elements. Why do you ask?" Chen Xing said: "The Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris has a big opinion on my works. They think If I don’t get rid of the Chinese style that inadvertently leaked out during shooting, I won’t achieve greater success in photography.”
"Hahaha, did they really say that?"
"They have always been like this. Chen, you have to believe in yourself and us. What they have opinions or even reject is what we want." Chen Xingdao believes in himself, but he lacks people who believe in him.
He was the first to come into contact with several teachers at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. They were people with certain authority in the photography circle, but they were also the first to reject Chen Xing's shooting method.
He was encouraged by the recognition of Chen Xing's works by teachers at the Paris School of Decorative Arts. That's it.
There is no need to go to the subsequent interviews. Seeing that Chen Xing agreed, the teachers were also very happy.
Even in Paris, where artists gather, outstanding talents like Chen Xing are scarce, not to mention that Chen Xing's skills have matured and he has his own style, which is enough for him to stand alone.
Although I don’t know what the people at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts are thinking, it is definitely a good result for them to get Chen Xing to join them.
A teacher who had the highest evaluation of Chen Xing said: "You are still studying, right?"
"Yes." These people were originally from the education system, and Chen Xing couldn't hide his academic qualifications even if he wanted to, so when filling in the information, Chen Xing said that he was still a student in China.
"Looking at your age, you should be a freshman or sophomore at a Chinese university, right?"
"Well... it's not an ordinary university, but a special school with three plus two. After graduation, you can get a junior college diploma..." Europeans and Americans don't distinguish between junior college diplomas or university diplomas. An ordinary college graduate, And college students who graduated from the same institution are all college students in the eyes of these people.
A three plus two school is normal, why would Chen Xing say it is special? Chen Xing spent a long time explaining, and I don’t know if they understood. Anyway, someone interrupted Chen Senior year. In fact, you are good enough to be a teacher, but firstly, you have too few works, and secondly, you are too young. It would not be a bad thing to experience more with the teacher." The teachers did not understand. It's normal, because they also have a three-plus-two model, but their three-plus-two is very different from China's higher vocational colleges. The three-plus-two here is a three-year foundation and two years of in-depth operation.
Chen Xing's foundation is very good, which can be seen from the works that Chen Xing sent, so they decided to let Chen Xing start from his senior year and follow a photographer's studio in the school for two years.
But excellent students often only stay at this stage for a year, or even just a few months. A fourth-year vocational student transfers to a world-class art college for his fourth year?
This is a great deal to learn! The man continued: "You speak French very well, can you write it?"
"Can write."
"That's fine. You can take a French proficiency test such as TEF. This is a must for foreign students. Then write down our contact information. If you don't understand anything, call us."
"Okay!" Chen Xing stood up and said, "Thank you, teacher." One of them laughed and said to his colleagues: "Look, standard Chinese students...you're welcome, go back, see you next year." Chen Xing walked out of the school I still couldn't believe it would go so smoothly.
Moreover, this grade division also takes care of Chen Xing. In the first three years of basic learning, the School of Decorative Arts, like other schools, has to go to class every day.
After taking the subway home and passing by a supermarket, Chen Xing thought about buying something delicious to cook for himself to celebrate.
So I searched the nearest Asian supermarket on the map and bought hot pot base, sesame oil, and some seasonings. I also bought ham, bacon, beef, mutton, and various vegetables... But it was too much to eat such a rich meal by myself. Are you lonely?
The one he most wanted to arrive first was Abel, but Abel had her own things to do this afternoon and would probably wait until the evening when she was free.
I called John, but he couldn't come. In the apartment, Chen Xing looked at the many dishes on the table.
Ever since Chen Xing got the system, he has never felt more lonely than now. Share your feelings with your good brother?
The first thing I thought of was Zhou Peng! Damn it, no! Chen Xing finally remembered a girl who was very close to him and called her.
"Chen Xing?"
"It's me. Are you still in Paris?"
"It's still there. We just left Notre Dame de Paris. It's so beautiful inside." Xie Siyan's voice was clear and there was a sense of joy in her tone.
If a tourist visa lasts for more than ten days, and there is nothing to do and plenty of funds, few people will go back midway, unless they encounter something very unhappy in Paris.
If she hadn't met Chen Xing on the subway, Xie Siyan would have returned to China.
"My friend took me there. It's rare to see a Gothic building like Notre Dame de Paris. I also like it very much... Have you had dinner? I bought some hot pot ingredients and came to my house to have hot pot?"
"Hot pot! Good!" Xie Siyan hasn't eaten Chinese food for a long time. She occasionally eats Chinese food, which is expensive and tastes average.
After chatting with Chen Xing for a few more words, Xie Siyan hung up the phone.
"Chen Xing is the handsome guy you mentioned before? Why is he calling you?" Xie Siyan's best friend asked curiously.
"He successfully interviewed for a university in Paris. He wanted to celebrate and made hot pot for us to eat there! He sent us the address. Let's go. We have been there for a long time. We miss the Chinese food so much." She took her best friend with her. I wanted to go to the subway station, but I was pushed away. My best friend didn't know Chen Xing, but I had heard Xie Siyan talk about it more recently.
"Don't hold me back. You have to go alone. I have my own plans for the evening."
"It's also arranged. Be careful if you get sick. I'm here to save you and take you to have a good meal. I'm good enough for you!" My best friend laughed and said, "Just don't get beaten up and eat." You want to save me? Okay, okay, go meet your handsome guy and have a romantic affair in this romantic place. Can you ride the Paris subway?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm not that kind of person. Are you really not going?"
"I really don't want to go, I have to go see my handsome guy." But after looking at the address, he sent Xie Siyan to the lobby station on the way, and then continued to take the subway towards District 13.
She didn't lie to Xie Siyan, she did have a date tonight. Xie Siyan knew English, so she followed the path Chen Xing told her and soon reached the street marked 'ruedesarchives'. Then she stood under the street sign and called Chen Xing.
In the room, Chen Xing had already taken care of everything. The soup base on the induction cooker had just been boiled, and it was steaming. The fragrance filled the entire apartment and could probably be smelled in the corridor outside.
After receiving the call, Chen Xing put on his clothes and went out to pick up someone. Far away, he saw Xie Siyan, with long straight black hair, wearing a white down jacket and a beige scarf.
Although not as fashionable as the beauties in Chen Xing's street shooting videos, she still has a girlish vibe. In fact, she is not a girl anymore. Xie Siyan is 23 years old, four years older than Chen Xing.
Xie Siyan also saw Chen Xing's appearance in advance. Compared with her more casual outfit, Chen Xing's black casual suit was so handsome. Moreover, Chen Xing's appearance was also very attractive. Many girls around him responded. Turn to look at him.
Swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"So handsome!" She said to herself as she looked at Chen Xing who was getting closer and closer.
"You came very quickly." Chen Xing came to her and said.
"We took the subway here as soon as we received your call. Of course it was fast. Where do you live and you can actually cook your own food?"
"A rented apartment." Chen Xing replied, looking around at Xie Siyan who didn't bring any friends, and asked.
"Aren't you two? Where is your friend?"
"She has something to do and needs to leave first."
"Why have things piled up until today, eh." Chen Xing sighed, otherwise today's celebration would be more than just the two of them. Chen Xing felt this was very bad abroad, as he had too few friends.
Maybe I should get out more? He may not be very talkative, unlike some social cows who can make friends with others soon after they first come into contact with them.
But he doesn't have to take the initiative to make friends. He can chat normally and say a few words. As long as he doesn't have any ill intentions, others will soon treat him as a friend.
The normal talent includes friendliness, which is a skill that works on all creatures. Among the special talents are charm enhancements.
That is to say, Chen Xing is not as playful as before. Otherwise, with these two skills, plus he is also very good, and if he adds WeChat when he meets a beautiful girl as before, he will probably have a harem in a short time.
Lead the way to take Xie Siyan back. Entering the room, smelling the familiar aroma of hot pot, she said it smelled so good, and then looked at the decoration of the house.
"It's pretty big. How much did it cost you to live here?"
"I found it on Airbnb, one hundred and thirty a day." Chen Xing saw her standing at the door and said with a smile,
"Come in, it's not my house and you still want to change your shoes? Sit down wherever you want and I'll bring all the dishes." Chen Xing had already finished all the preparations while waiting, so now it's time to place the dishes and start eating.
After eating this hot pot meal, both of them started to sweat, and most of the ingredients were eaten. Only after living abroad for a week can people in China know how precious the delicacies they can eat every day in their hometown are.
It's not that French food is not delicious, Chen Xing likes steak very much. But no matter how delicious the food is, after eating it for a long time, it will not have the familiar taste of home.
After eating, Xie Siyan took the initiative and said: "Let me help you wash the dishes. It's embarrassing to just have a meal here.
"It's okay. Wait until I come back to wash it. It's getting dark. Where do you live? I'll take you back first." You want to take me back?
Xie Siyan's eyes widened for a moment, and then quickly returned to her beautiful look, but she felt a little surprised.
But it also made Chen Xing's impression in her heart even higher. Chen Xing wanted her to stay. He still had the impulse of a normal man, but he didn't want to be responsible. After all, in his opinion, she was a good girl with a stable job and a harmonious life.
After leaving the door, Chen Xing asked, "Where do you live?"
"Ame Zola Hotel, not far from the Champ de Mars." It seemed that they found a hotel randomly after arriving by car. When they were delivered to the place, Chen Xing looked at the hotel and it looked very ordinary. It was probably okay to stay here for one night. No more than eighty euros.
But the location is very good. There are many places of interest, scenic spots, embassies and national institutions in the 7th district of Paris. The security is very high. Just be careful of scammers and thieves.
After seeing everyone off, Chen Xing felt a little thirsty. So when I returned to District 4, I didn't go home directly. I found a bar on the street and went in.
......... In the next few days, everyone I met in Paris met again. Everyone was very happy for Chen Xing. After all, Chen Xing will definitely stay in Paris longer than now after enrolling in Paris.
The only one who came angrily was President Zhou. When Chen Xing met him, he was visiting John's house. After President Zhou entered the house, he apologized to Chen Xing first, and then said: "I heard about your interview at the Decoration College, Fa Ke, that bitch from the Imaging College Tell me you're not good enough." Chen Xingxin said, probably the middle-aged woman who talked the most in the interview.
"It's okay. The teachers at the Decoration School are very nice to me. They even asked me for some of my previous works this morning."
"It's good if you can think like this, alas." The more Chen Xing is liked by others, the more heartbroken President Zhou becomes. These are all good students in his school... I will go talk to the principal tomorrow. This kind of treatment of outstanding students Pushing students to other schools will definitely not be tolerated by the school.
What’s more, the advancing school is an old rival of the Academy of Fine Arts in Paris. After visiting John's house, Chen Xing saw that he still had five days left to apply for his visa. He had already visited all the places he should visit in Paris, so he decided to go to South France for a walk. The Winter Photography Festival, a major event in the French photography industry, was taking place. Opening of the Côte d'Azur in Southern France.
