Before the reunion of the students studying in France, Fang Yi had something far more important to do, that is, the admission interview at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

In the past, when he was in China, Fang Yi had been listening to the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, the Russian Repin Academy of Fine Arts and the British Royal Academy of Fine Arts, which were called the four major art academies in the world.

In fact, when I got here, I found that the so-called four major art academies in China are just YY, and now the most famous first-echelon art academies are generally inclined to the three major art academies! The most people in favor of it is the general view that the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, the Royal Academy of Art, and the Yale Academy of Art are the three major art academies that are more recognized by the world, as for the four majors! It sounds more like the Chinese habit of making up four or eight or something like everything to do.

It's good that Italy's Fomei can be in the top ten, because Fomei doesn't have a high status in modern art at all! The current Academy of Fine Arts of Florence has only its historical place!

As for the Russians Lemei, in the eyes of Western Europe and the Americans, it can only be hehe! As for the famous and famous artists in Russia, it is only the Russians who play their own behind closed doors! Western-centrism, do you think that the current Western Europe and Americans, which are powerful in the field of art, will rank in the top four of Maozi art schools, which they regard as barbarians and cultural deserts? Among Western art critics or artists, Lemei can make it into more than 20 years to give face to the Russians, and it is also in the top four!

The domestic rumor of Lev is the four major art academies, but Maozi blows it, and then a group of people who study abroad in Maozi return to China to blow and blow! Not to mention the students from Lime, even if Lime's teacher or something goes to these schools, the treatment is not much better than that of ordinary students!

As for the domestic ranking of Hangzhou and the United States, the seventh and eighth, and the nineteenth of CAFA, it is even more of YY's fantasy. All the art academies in China are considered to be in the top 50 among these people, which is considered good.

In the eyes of Western Europeans, the American visual and media arts are very strong, the French and Italians have a deep artistic heritage, and the British are very authoritative in the study of art, which has nothing to do with Ben and the Russians. If you don't believe it, how many of the most expensive paintings in the world are by Maozi artists? There is no one in the top 10!

Of course, there is no official ranking of these things, and even if there is, it is only arranged by some good deeds or magazines in order to attract attention, as for the domestic rankings or the rankings of foreign authoritative institutions, they are all on the upper lip and on the lower lip, and the domestic list is more like Hangmei itself! As far as it is generally believed that there are no four major nonsense in some people in China!

Attend an interview at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Fang Yi naturally wants to prepare well, for the school where the teacher Liu Hongshuo graduated, Fang Yi naturally has some indescribable intimacy in his heart. Of course, the so-called good preparation does not mean that the suit you want to wear is straight to the interview, this is the academy of fine arts. It's not to participate in factory recruitment! Not to mention listening to the leader's lectures. On top of the clothing to keep the cadres neat, and the other is comfortable!

The morning of the interview. Fang Yi drove his own car. Head towards the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris on the left bank of the Seine. Driving there, Fang Yi found a place to park, and when he arrived at the place of the interview, he found that this place could be explained by the surge of people.

Although Fang Yi was mentally prepared, he was still stunned by such a driving test, he had been in France for so long, and it was the first time he had seen such a situation. However, this situation also made Fang Yi stunned for a moment. Figured it out immediately. This is the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, at this time, not only young art students from all over the European world gather here, but in terms of admission rate, it is a hundred times more difficult than the domestic CAFA!

It doesn't matter how many students apply. It doesn't matter to Fang Yi, Fang Yi thinks in his heart that if his level can't enter the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, there can only be one situation: the interview teacher of the Paris Academy of Fine Arts is blind! The experience bar in the buddy's head is still a little short of eight people to the master level, and if the Paris Academy of Fine Arts doesn't admit himself, who else can he admit?

Fang Yi, who was so confident, found a clean step and sat down, and there was still about half an hour before the time of his interview, Fang Yi directly took out the Apple MP3 that he was carrying, and stuffed the headphones into his ears to listen. After listening to a song, Fang Yi looked at his watch and waited for the agreed interview time to come.

With ten minutes left, Fang Yi turned off his mobile phone, put the MP3 back in his pocket and walked towards the room where he was interviewing.

After waiting for five minutes, I heard a middle-aged woman call her name in French, and when she heard this, Fang Yi easily tidied up her clothes, and confidently raised her feet and walked inside.

"Hello interviewers!" As soon as he opened the door of the room, Fang Yi glanced at the five interviewers sitting inside, and said with a slight bow.

"Please be seated!" The middle-aged female interviewer sitting on the outermost looked at Fang Yi and said with a smile, then pointed to the chair not far in front of her and motioned for Fang Yi to sit there.

"We took a look at your work! In terms of technique, it is very good, and in terms of the details of some pictures, it is rare for such a young man to have such skills! An old man in the middle, who was bald and almost had an entire brain shell, looked at Fang Yi and sat on the chair and said immediately.

"But have you ever thought that your works, whether they are realistic or post-impressionist, have a strong Chinese flavor? Even if I don't look at your information, just look at your paintings and know that you are from China! ”。

Fang Yi nodded and replied, "I don't deny this!" Because after all, I grew up in such an environment! Whether it is Chinese philosophical thought or living habits, it will naturally influence my creation! I don't deliberately avoid this, or rather avoid it! ”。

The other four interviewers glanced at each other, and the middle-aged female interviewer who was talking to Fang Yi just now said, "Are you Bruno's student?" ”。

Fang Yi nodded when he heard this, and couldn't help but think in his heart: Didn't you say that foreigners didn't have a relationship, why did you just ask two sentences and mention your teacher. When I was in China, I read a report that some schools in the United States even set up a special course on Chinese relations! Seeing the news at that time, Fang Yi sighed for a long time, thinking that the Chinese had all gone to American university classes. What a shame it is to go about relationships! Now when I hear that my teacher is mentioned, of course I will be strange in my heart! Why did you drag the teacher Liu Hongshuo out after chatting here for two sentences!

In fact, Fang Yi is wrong, foreigners also pull relationships, but also talk about alumni relations, almost the relationship between Chinese and foreigners talk about it, but due to cultural differences, there are great differences in the way of pulling relationships.

After all, foreigners are also people, and they should also talk about socializing! Americans take this course because if they want to enter the Chinese market, they have to learn how to build relationships in this market. If you use the same set of methods in Europe and the United States to pull relations, let alone talk about business in China. Maybe you might even offend someone! This course is not to make fun of the Chinese's messy relationship, but because of the objective requirement of entering China, the world's largest emerging market! Let American entrepreneurs and managers go to the Chinese market and use the local market to pull the right and good relationship!

"Your style doesn't resemble his, at least not in my impression. It can be said that it is exactly like two styles! The female interviewer looked at Fang Yi and asked, as for the school where Fang Yi graduated. None of the interviewers cared! In fact, I don't even know where the stone art is. Fang Yi is not interested in the style of his works. Rather, it is a letter of recommendation written by Liu Hongshuo to his disciples as a graduate of the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, plus a letter of recommendation from Bernard.

To put it more bluntly, these interviewers are very unimpressed with Fang Yi's work style! If it weren't for these two letters of recommendation, the confident Fang Yi might not even have a chance to interview!

Some people will say that Fang Yi's works with Chinese style are not liked by these people, so why can Mr. Zao Wou-Ki's paintings sell at a reasonable price in the European market? For what French people can appreciate Zao Wou-Ki's paintings. Can't appreciate Fang Yi's works?

This is art, where there will be a unified standard for eternity! Everyone's appreciation is always different, and there is a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, that's what I said! Naturally, the conclusions are not the same! Besides, Fang Yi is not Mr. Zao Wou-Ki! To put it more bluntly, Mr. Zao Wou-Ki can paint like this. You Fang Yi is drawing it now, others just can't look at it!

Fang Yi directly opened his mouth and replied: "My teacher didn't ask me to draw according to his style, but encouraged me to draw according to my own ideas!" ”。

After answering several questions from the interviewer, one of them motioned for Fang Yi to evaluate the works next to him and say what the artist wanted to express.

Fang Yi glanced at these paintings, none of them jumped out of their minds, that is to say, none of them were qualified enough to remember the names in their minds, and directly told several interviewers their opinions.

Next, the interviewers asked Fang Yi which artist's work he liked and what he thought of the artist! This question Fang Yi naturally came out of his mouth and said two names: Titian and Ingres! Then he said it briefly.

The last part was to ask Fang Yi to write a short essay on art on the spot.

At the beginning of the middle session, Fang Yi keenly felt the coping of these interviewers, and his heart slowly sank, but he still kept a smile and finished the entire interview!

Waiting for Fang Yi to bow slightly to these interviewers and walk out of the door. The female interviewer asked the person next to her, "What do you think?" ”。

"There's nothing to find fault with in terms of technique, but it's too conservative in thought! From the conversation just now, I think it would be more appropriate for him to enter the major of oil painting restoration! Instead of creating" The bald old man in the middle finished speaking, shook his head with a smile and said: "To be honest, it's hard for me to connect this student with the crazy Bruno I remember!" Before the interview, I was ready to meet a young artist with a strong personality and aura! But now I have a little regret in my heart! ”。

"There is a lack of activity in artistic thinking! More of a conservative than me," said another interviewer who is almost 50.

"Then let's put it in for now!" The old man in the middle sighed and said. (To be continued......)
