Chapter 135: A Bar I Went To Because I Was Thirsty, Really
Surprise! This was really a surprise for Chen Xing. Don't look at their previous attitude towards themselves is already very kind, but before the final result is announced, no one can guess what will develop next, and he is even ready to accept a ridicule.
If he fails this time, Chen Xing may not participate in the follow-up interview. As a systematic person, Chen Xing is very proud in his bones.
It's okay to fail once, Chen Xing thinks that people in the Paris Academy of Fine Arts have a different view of art than himself, after all, no matter how good the work is, some people will not like it, and art is originally a very idealistic thing.
But the second time he failed, it showed that his way of photography was indeed not welcomed by the West, at least not by Paris.
So he would never go for a third interview. But they actually passed, and it was so smooth, these teachers who interviewed did not have Chen Xing's impression of the teacher's ferocious attitude towards students, but let Chen Xing pass the interview in the form of peer discussion.
After the surprise, Chen Xing asked, "Don't you think my work has too many Chinese elements?" ”
"Chinese elements? Yes, but what's wrong? ”
"It's a very beautiful Chinese landscape, I like it very much, no one has ever stipulated that photography can't have Chinese elements, why do you ask?" Chen Xing said: "The Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris have a big opinion of my work, and they think that if I don't change the Chinese style that inadvertently flows out of photography, I won't have greater achievements in photography." ”
"Hahaha, that's what they said?"
"They have always been like this, Chen, you have to believe in yourself, believe in us, what they have opinions or even reject is what we want." Chen Xingzhi believes in himself very much, but he lacks people who believe in him.
Several teachers at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts were the first people he came into contact with and had a certain authority in the photography circle, but they also rejected Chen Xing's shooting method first.
He was greatly encouraged by the recognition of Chen Xing's work by the teachers of the Paris School of Décoratifs. That's it.
You don't have to go to the interview later. Seeing that Chen Xing agreed, several teachers were also very happy.
Even in Paris, where artists gather, such an outstanding talent as Chen Xing is very scarce, not to mention that Chen Xing's skills have matured and he has his own style, which is enough for him to be independent.
Although I don't know what the people at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts are thinking, it must be a good result for them to get Chen Xing to join.
One of the teachers who spoke highly of Chen Xing said, "You're still studying, aren't you?" ”
"Yes." These people were originally in the education system, and Chen Xing's academic qualifications couldn't be concealed even if he wanted to, so when Chen Xing filled in the information, he said that he was still a student in Huaxia.
"Depending on your age, you should be a freshman or sophomore at a university in Huaxia, right?"
"Uh...... It is not an ordinary university, but a special school with three plus two, and after graduation, you can get a college diploma...... "Europeans and Americans do not distinguish between college diplomas or college diplomas, an ordinary college graduate, and a college graduate, in the eyes of these people are college students."
Three-plus-two schools are normal, why does Chen Xing say special? Chen Xing took a long time to explain, and he didn't know if they understood, anyway, someone interrupted Chen Xing's words and said, "It's too troublesome for you to say this, you go back and contact your school, and transfer to our school for the fourth year." In fact, your level is enough to be a teacher, but firstly, your work is too small, and secondly, your age is too young, and it is not a bad thing to experience more with teachers. "It's normal for teachers to not understand, because they are also in the three-plus-two model, but the difference between their three-plus-two and Huaxia's higher vocational is too big, and 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 sent by Chen Xing, so they decided to let Chen Xing go to school from his senior year and run with a photographer's studio at 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 who transfers to a world-class art college for his fourth year?
It's a good deal! The man continued: "You speak French very well, can you write?" ”
"I can write."
"That's fine, you go to the TEF and other French proficiency tests, which are mandatory for foreign students, and then write down our contact information, and call us if you don't understand anything."
"Good!" Chen Xing stood up and said, "Thank you, teacher." One of them smiled and said to his colleague, "Look, standard Chinese students...... You're welcome, go back and see you next year. When Chen Xing walked out of school, he couldn't believe that it would go so smoothly.
And the division of this grade 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 to check in.
When he took the subway home and passed by a supermarket, Chen Xing thought about buying something delicious to make his own and celebrate.
So I searched the nearest Asian supermarket on the map, bought hot pot base, sesame oil, and some seasoning spices, and bought ham sausage, bacon, beef, mutton, and various dishes...... But it's too lonely to eat so heartily alone, right?
He wanted to arrive first first, but Abel had her own business this afternoon, and it was estimated that she would go in the evening when she was free.
I called John, and he couldn't come. In the apartment, Chen Xing looked at so many dishes on the table.
Since Chen Xing got the system, there has never been a moment when he feels more lonely than now. Share your feelings with your good brothers?
The first thing I thought of was Zhou Peng! Damn, no! Chen Xing finally remembered a girl who was very close to him and made a phone call.
"Chen Xing?"
"It's me, you're still in Paris, aren't you?"
"It's still there, we just got out of Notre Dame Cathedral, and it's so beautiful inside." Xie Siyan's voice was crisp, and there was a sense of pleasure in her tone.
If you don't have much to do and have plenty of money, it's rare for someone to go back halfway through a tourist visa, unless something very unhappy happens in Paris.
If she hadn't met Chen Xing on the subway before, Xie Siyan would definitely have returned to China.
"My friend has taken me there, and it's rare to see a Gothic building like Notre Dame, and I love it...... Have you had dinner? I bought some hot pot ingredients and came to my house to eat hot pot? ”
"Hot pot! All right! "Xie Siyan hasn't eaten anything from China for a long time, and occasionally eats a Chinese dish, not to mention the price, the taste is average.
After chatting with Chen Xing for a few more words, Xie Siyan hung up the phone.
"Chen Xing is the handsome guy you said before? What did he call you for? Xie Siyan's best friend asked curiously.
"He successfully interviewed the university in Paris, wanted to celebrate, made a hot pot for us to eat! He sent the address over, go, we have been addicted, miss the domestic food too much. She pulled her best friend and wanted to go to the subway station, but she was freed, and her best friend didn't know Chen Xing, but she had heard Xie Siyan talk a lot recently.
"Don't pull me, you have to go by yourself, I have my own arrangements for the night."
"It's also arranged, be careful of getting sick, I'm here to save you, and I'll take you to eat a good meal, it's good enough for you!" My best friend laughed and said, "It's good that you don't want to be beaten and eaten, and you can save me?" Okay, okay, go meet your handsome guy, have a romantic derailment in this romantic place, you will take the subway in Paris, right? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not that kind of person, you really don't go?"
"I'm really not going, I'm going to see my handsome guy too." However, after looking at the address, Xie Siyan was sent to the lobby station by the way, and then continued to take the subway towards District 13.
She didn't lie to Xie Siyan, she did have an appointment tonight. Xie Siyan knew English, followed the path Chen Xing said, and soon came to the street marked 'Ruedesarchives', and then stood under the street sign to call Chen Xing.
In the room, Chen Xing had already taken care of everything, the soup base on the induction stove had just been boiled, and it was steaming hot, and the fragrance permeated the entire apartment, and it was estimated that it could be smelled in the corridor outside.
After receiving the call, Chen Xing put on his clothes and went out to pick up people. From a long distance, he saw Xie Siyan, with long straight black hair, wearing a white down jacket and a beige scarf.
Although it is not as fashionable as the beauties in Chen Xing's street shooting video, it is also very girly. In fact, she is not a girl, Xie Siyan is 23 years old, four years older than Chen Xing.
Xie Siyan also saw Chen Xing's appearance in advance, compared to her more casual outfit, Chen Xing's black casual suit was simply too handsome, and Chen Xing's appearance was also very attractive, and many girls and children around him turned their heads to look at him.
Take a mouthful of saliva.
"So handsome!" She looked at Chen Xing, who was getting closer and closer, and said to herself.
"It's coming quickly." Chen Xing came to her and said.
"After receiving your call, we took the subway, of course quickly, where do you live, can you cook your own food?"
"Rented apartment." Chen Xing replied, looking at Xie Siyan's appearance that Xie Siyan didn't bring his friends over, and asked.
"Aren't you two people? What about your friends? ”
"She has something, let's go first."
"It's all up to today, eh." Chen Xing sighed, otherwise today's celebration would not be just the two of them, and Chen Xing felt that this was very bad abroad, and he had too few friends.
Maybe I should go out more? He may not be very good at talking, unlike some social cows who can make friends with others not long after they first come into contact with others.
But he doesn't have to take the initiative to make friends, chat normally, say a few words, as long as he doesn't have malicious intentions, others will soon treat him as a friend.
Friendliness is a normal talent, which is a skill that works for all creatures. There is also a charisma enhancement in the special talent.
That is, Chen Xing doesn't like to play as much as he used to now, otherwise with these two skills, plus he himself is also very good, and then he will add WeChat when he meets a beautiful girl as before, or it won't be long before the harem is estimated to be there.
Lead the way and pick up Xie Siyan back. Entering the room, smelling the familiar smell of hot pot, she said that it was so fragrant, and then looked at the decoration of the house.
"It's pretty big, how much did it cost you to live here?"
"Find it on Airbnb, one hundred and three a day." Chen Xing saw that she had been standing at the door, and said with a smile,
"Come on, it's not my house, you still want to change your shoes? Sit casually, I'll bring all the dishes. "When I waited before, Chen Xing had already done all the preparations, and now I will serve the food and start eating.
Both of them began to sweat after eating this hot pot, and most of the ingredients were eaten. It is only after living abroad for a week that the people of China can realize how precious the food that can be eaten every day in their hometown.
It's not that French food is not delicious, Chen Xing likes to eat steak very much. But no matter how delicious things are, after eating them for a long time, they don't have the taste of home, which makes people feel cordial.
After eating, Xie Siyan took the initiative to say: "I'll help you wash the dishes, I'm embarrassed to come over and have a meal."
"It's okay, wait for me to come back and wash, it's getting dark, where do you live, I'll send you back first." Want to send me back?
Xie Siyan's eyes widened suddenly, and then she quickly returned to her beautiful appearance, but she felt a little surprised.
However, it also made Chen Xing's impression in her heart higher. Chen Xing wanted her to stay, a normal man's impulse was still there, but he didn't want to be responsible, after all, in his opinion, this was a good girl, with a stable job and a harmonious life.
Out of the door, Chen Xing asked, "Where do you live?" ”
"Hotel Amy Zola, not far from the Champ de Mars." It seems that they found a hotel randomly after coming by car, and when they were delivered to the place, Chen Xing looked at the hotel very ordinary, and it was estimated that it would cost less than 80 euros to stay here for one night.
But the location is very good, the 7th arrondissement of Paris has a lot of places of interest, attractions, embassies of various countries, state institutions are concentrated, security is very high, just be careful of scammers and thieves.
After sending people off, Chen Xing felt a little thirsty. So after returning to the fourth district, I didn't go home directly, but found a bar on the street and got in.
……………… In the next few days, everyone I met in Paris met again, and everyone was very happy for Chen Xing, after all, after Chen Xing enrolled in Paris, he would definitely stay in Paris longer than now.
The only one who rushed over in anger was President Zhou. When Chen Xing saw him, he went to John's house as a guest, and after President Zhou entered the house, he apologized to Chen Xing first, and then said: "I heard about your interview at the Decoration Academy, Fake, that bitch from the Imaging Academy told me that your level is not good." Chen Xingxin said that she should be the middle-aged woman who talked the most in the interview.
"It's okay, the teachers at the Decoration Academy were very kind to me, and they asked me for some of my previous works in the morning."
"If only you could think so, alas." The more Chen Xing is liked by others, the more heartbroken President Zhou becomes, these are all good seedlings of his school...... I'll go to the principal tomorrow to chat, and this kind of operation of pushing outstanding students into other people's schools is absolutely intolerable to the school.
What's more, the school that is advancing is still an old rival of the Paris Academy of Fine Arts. After being a guest at John's house, Chen Xing saw that he still had five days to go to his visa, and he had gone to all the places in Paris, so he decided to go to southern France, a major event in the French photography industry, the Winter Photography Festival, which is opening on the Côte d'Azur in southern France.
