There are many flowers planted in this garden. May and June are the days when a lot of flowers are in bloom. Flowers of different colors add a lot of romance to the garden. When walking in such a garden, Chen Xing often sees people kissing each other. couple.
Kissing is very common in France. Smelling the refreshing fragrance of flowers, Chen Xing also wanted to hug something, but now he could only hug himself.
Damn! Frankly speaking, although I don’t know the difference between the aesthetics of Monet’s life a hundred years ago and now, in Chen Xing’s opinion, the design of this garden is not beautiful. If you don’t count the types of flowers, It is probably on the same level as the garden behind Wenshu Monastery in Chengdu.
What is said on the Internet that beauty is so beautiful that it can heal people... There is no need to praise it so much. At least in China, there are countless beautiful gardens.
It’s just that the types of flowers are really incomparable. People in Xijiang like to grow flowers. During the few days in Xijiang, Chen Xing tripled the number of flowers he knew in his knowledge base. However, when Chen Xing came to Monet's garden, there were still many flowers that he couldn't name.
It is estimated that except for professional people, few people can identify all the flowers in Monet's garden.
In their time, Monet was one of the few painters who enjoyed making money while he was alive. He bought this huge manor with the money from selling his paintings, and then spent most of the money he earned Come and transform this yard.
He bought plants from Egypt, Africa, Asia and other places to plant, and took care of them himself, watching the flowers grow.
Some people say that this is the source of inspiration for Monet. Chen Xing agrees with this. It is difficult for an artist to live in such an environment without the idea of creation.
When he came to the water garden, Chen Xing felt that it looked more like a garden. Read the introduction carefully. Oh, Japanese style, isn’t that a variant of Tang Dynasty style?
The teacher of photography history said that European photography art was impacted by the ukiyo-e of the island country in the 19th century. The styles of many photographers during that period had the sentiment of the island country, and the Japanese style gradually emerged in the international art world.
If photography is like this, the field of painting will be even more affected. Painters such as Van Gogh, Monet, etc. all have in-depth research on island art. When you come to the house where Monet lives, you will see a large number of ukiyo-e paintings collected by him on the wall.
Speaking of Monet's house, there is another thing that surprises Chen Xing. A bearded painter, his room is actually pink blue, bright yellow, and decorated with a lot of floral flowers. The princess room is nothing more than that. It seems that Monet also has a girl's heart.
After walking out of Monet's garden, Chen Xing fulfilled his wish. Like most scenic spots, Monet's garden is no longer a place that can make you feel amazed. Just like the famous Li Bai's former residence and Du Fu's Thatched Cottage, it has become a place for fans of later generations to check in and worship.
Chen Xing is already very satisfied to be here, to see the place where Monet sat down to paint water lilies, and to see that the scenery in the pond is the same as in his paintings.
He is more concerned about the town outside than inside this manor. A garden that can be seen everywhere in China, and a small town full of exotic customs. If you are a tourist, which one would you choose?
Then definitely choose a charming town. Who knows which one encounters the wind first or the love first? …………Chen Xing left Paris on Friday. It was also on this Friday that elle released the latest issue of the magazine. The French version used Chen Xing’s work as the cover, and in China The traditional version also uses works taken by Chen Xing as inner pages, giving a good introduction to Chen Xing, a commercial photographer who has become popular in France.
The Hong Kong version of elle was bought by many people who pay attention to fashion as soon as it was released. As one of the top five women's fashion magazines in the world, "elle" also has a large number of fans in Hong Kong Island, China.
Wu Xiangling, the owner and designer of swena brand store, is one of the fans of "elle".
For her, watching elle is no longer a fan to appreciate the fashion inside, but to absorb elements and inspiration from it, so that her designs can shine new light.
On the first day after elle was released, four copies of "elle" from different regions were placed on his desk by his assistant.
English, French, Danish and Chinese, four versions. The work at hand could not be completed for a while, so Wu Xiangling decided to relax and read a magazine first.
She asked her assistant while turning the pages: "Have you read this issue of Elle? Are there any interesting fashions?"
"I haven't had time to read it yet." The season has changed, and the whole company is busy. How can she, an assistant, get the first place? If you have really read the answers, then the boss may know when you are definitely fishing. .
Wu Xiangling actually didn't think much about it and just asked casually. Her attention was drawn to the cover of the French edition.
Isn’t this Hong Kong style? The French don’t recognize this style, but how can people in Hong Kong not know it?
They were shooting in this style thirty or even twenty years ago, whether it was photos or movies.
But this style gradually declined with the rise of mainland China. He opened the French version of the magazine, and there was indeed a sentence in it introducing the photographer on the cover - high-end retro photography?
She carefully looked at the cover photos taken by Chen Xing. On the cover, Sophie Marceau was mature and confident, with a confident demeanor that she could hold up even if the sky fell.
It is indeed different from the traditional Hong Kong style, but he is obviously a Chinese photographer who has absorbed the Hong Kong style, but he doesn't promote Hong Kong Island at all?
This kind of person is simply eating the inside out... In fact, it's so pitiful. Chen Xing hasn't received an interview with elle yet. High-end retro style is just the name given to Chen Xingan by the magazine.
She quickly read through the French version. While watching the Hong Kong version, Wu Xiangling saw Chen Xing's name again, as well as more photographic works. The people in them were all different. The last page of this group of works introduced Chen Xing in detail and confirmed his style. .
[Chen Xing, a 20-year-old Chinese photographer studying at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, France, is currently emerging in Paris. He was born out of Hong Kong style and incorporates the unique freehandism in Chen Xing’s works to form such realistic and freehand works. He blends two different styles, bridging the gap between old and new, tradition and consciousness.
Through exhibitions in France, his works are being recognized by the mainstream European photography and fashion circles, and he has become a banner among the new generation of Chinese photographers.
】There is a picture of Chen Xing holding a trophy at the back. She looked at these works over and over again.
20 years old. It’s amazing that all the photos I took were on the cover of Elle. When I was 20 years old, I would only dream about this magazine, and I was also a photographer in China.
Are there any opportunities for cooperation? It's a pity that I don't know the price of elle magazine's invitation to Chen Xing.
"Zhou Zhou." She shouted to her assistant who was sitting outside and looked over. Then she said: "First, take a look at the Hong Kong version of elle magazine. Pay attention to the photographer Chen Xing in it and look for his contact information. , let’s see if we can invite him to attend our fashion show next month.” After the assistant went back to work, Wu Xiangling did not continue working, but looked at Chen Xing’s award-winning photos for a long time.
So familiar. Have you seen it somewhere before? …………Chen Xing was eating at a restaurant called Baudy. I heard that Monet often ate here, and the decoration style here was also that of the early twentieth century, with a sense of age and faded picture frames. The stopped clock, the dim chandelier, and the table that seemed a little faded.
But for a restaurant, it's very clean. In Chen Xing's opinion, a small restaurant that is carefully built and full of love is definitely more worthy of photography than a luxurious and gorgeous restaurant.
The charges are okay, and it’s not as expensive as expected. A set meal only costs less than 30 euros, 29.9 euros to be precise. The main course is French confit duck leg. He didn’t expect it to be so delicious before eating it.
He recorded a video of himself with a camera. When he went back to cut it, he would definitely recommend this dish to his fans. It was so delicious!
During lunch, Chen Xing took out his mobile phone and played with it for a while. There have been more and more calls recently, and Chen Xing has turned on rejecting all calls from strangers.
If you are really looking for your own, you can find Chen Xing's photography website, which has his email address. Chen Xing will check the email address every night, and occasionally someone will use the works on the website.
There are people at home and abroad, and the number has increased significantly in the past two weeks. Chen Xing is not very anxious about this. He is just a little famous in the photography and fashion circles, but nothing more. The impact on Chen Xing's travels is not even as good as the hit video he made out of nowhere last time.
I write so well that only hundreds of thousands of you can read my travel notes. Post a video dictation, millions of views... outrageous!
While eating, Chen Xing saw an interesting person, a teenage boy running around the town with a bamboo fish basket slung around his waist.
Chen Xing met him many times while visiting the town. He ran in with dust on his butt. He seemed to have fallen, but he didn't care at all. When he came in, he said, "Dad, I'm hungry!" A woman came over and said, "Did you fall again? I asked you not to run around. It’s great to stay at home, and you can also help your dad with things, he is almost overwhelmed.” Now is the flowering season, which is the busiest time for flower towns like Giverny.
"I'm almost overwhelmed. I picked up a lot of flowers!" He raised his fish basket. No, it should be a flower basket. After all, it is for holding flowers. If you look closely, it does look a bit like a vase.
The child looked around the store and saw that Chen Xing was alone here, so he came over and asked, "Can I sit here?"
"No problem, please take a seat." The child's mother has already gone to work. This is a small shop. The boss does not invite too many people. It has always been a family-run business.
Chen Xing's respectful tone won the boy's favor, and he asked, "Where are you from?"
"Huaxia, I'm from Huaxia, do you know?"
"You know, this is a country with a lot of rich people."
"There are actually more poor people."
"You must not be poor! Then are you traveling here alone?" Chen Xing put away his smile. My smile is not for little brats who don’t understand emotions.
Chen Xing paid and was about to leave. When he took out his wallet, he brought out a pink petal. He picked it up and put it in the bamboo pocket where the children put the flowers, and said, "This is for you."
"Thank you!" After paying and going out, Chen Xing continued to wander around the town. This town is very small and can be walked in thirty minutes, but the scenery in some alleys is also very charming. Pass through these places carefully for the second time to experience these flower-filled outdoor restaurants and the low-hanging eaves of wisteria flowers.
There is beauty everywhere in this town. Chen Xing, like many people, stopped under a beautiful house. This family was very interesting. They installed a bubble machine under the eaves of the room, and then they kept spitting bubbles, forming many small bubbles in the sun. rainbow.
Combined with the flowers the family planted outside the house. so gorgeous. Chen Xing took a camera and took a close-up of the bubbles above the corner of the wall. A series of bubbles came out of the room. They were childish and magical. The person who arranged this must be a wonderful person. Without a delicate heart, how could he have imagined such an interesting thing? ?
At this moment, in addition to people taking photos with Chen Xing, there were also painters who immediately got inspired, put down the easel they were carrying and started looking for paint.
Chen Xing glanced at her while taking pictures, and saw that she was still looking for her. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she was very happy.
Even though photography has many limitations compared to painting, there is one thing that painting cannot compare to. Chen Xing pressed the shutter button again, and with a click, another photo was stored in the memory.
That's efficiency. The painters observed the scenery and hesitated to write, but when they seemed to have forgotten something, the photographer had already pressed the shutter for the tenth time.
Suddenly someone came over and tugged on Chen Xing's clothes. Chen Xing was startled. He was concentrating on looking at the viewfinder.
Looking back, I saw it was the little guy I met in the restaurant just now.
"What are you doing here?"
"Brother, can you help me pass this to that sister?" He raised his hand and handed Chen Xing something rolled up in paper.
"Huh?" Chen Xing looked at him. A teenager, no more than twelve at most. Look at the person he is pointing to. She is the painter who was inspired just now. She is a female painter. She has short hair that exposes her arms, and there are tattoos on her arms. She is dressed in wheat color and is full of fitness beauty.
At least the same age as Chen Xing.
"What do you want to do, kid?" Picking up a conversation is something only adults like us can do. You can't control it, young man.
"This is that sister's paint. I picked it up." Paint? Chen Xing took a look and saw that it was indeed paint, or a large white one.
If this thing falls off, it’s a waste of time. Seeing that the man was still looking for something, Chen Xing almost emptied out everything in his backpack. Chen Xing took it over and said to the painter, "Are you looking for this?"
"Yes, God, luckily he is here." She was so excited that she didn't even bother to thank Chen Xing and started mixing colors on the paint tray.
But at this time countless petals fell from the sky. A gust of wind blew by, and colorful petals floated in the wind.
Everyone looked back. The child laughed loudly: "Sister Kailu! Do you think this is the romantic rainbow you want? I have found your boyfriend for you, and I will also come to help you find a rainbow on land during the wedding." Looking at the sky The floating petals were mixed with the bubbles blown out by the bubble machine, and the surrounding scenery was as charming as an oil painting. Chen Xing couldn't care less about looking at the beautiful woman, and turned his hands up to catch these flowers, but one Not even catching it, he turned around and watched the last flower fall.
This view is amazing! A kind of wanting to take pictures... No, taking pictures can't express it, I want to draw it! [Giverny has the best weather and the brightest flowers in the suburbs of Paris. It is a continuous spring dream between the magic of light and the naked eye.
These pictures of life flowing in front of you are not so much a record of nature as an elegy of memories and time] [Wind and love may not be separated] [Skill acquired: defensive conditioned reflex] Will you give Skill?
Is this appropriate? When he came to his senses, the woman was chasing the child.
"I'm so mad! I just got this inspiration!"
