Chapter 201 I don't want to listen to any bullshit photographer history, I just want to make money now
The open eyes of the lake are misty. It's too bright. It took him a long time to remember that he had arrived in France yesterday and was currently staying with a family in Paris.
Winter, Winter, Winter...
"Star, let's go downstairs for breakfast." It was Aunt Lizzy's voice. Chen Xing rubbed his eyes, he didn't close the curtains when he went to bed last night, which caused him to wake up so early today with the stimulation of bright light, in the end, he really didn't wake up.
I don't know what time the first class of college will be here. If it starts at eight o'clock as before, then Chen Xing probably has to get used to a healthy life of going to bed early and getting up early.
"Here we are." I got up and dressed and tidied up the quilt a little. The room was very empty, Chen Xing thought to himself that he must go to the market to buy some decorations, books or something after he was busy today, and he was very curious about the bestsellers in France.
At present, the best-selling chicken soup in China is Wen, and I don't know what is popular in France. It would be nice if it was a popular travelogue, and if it could be sold, it would be good to publish a whole book by yourself.
I went out with toiletries and ran into the Indian boy next door. His name is Shah Rukh Yazan, and the Indian name is also the last name in the back, and the first name is in the front, the same as Europeans and Americans, so just call him Shah Rukh, this person is a game nerd, but not introverted.
"Good morning!"
"Okay." Chen Xing nodded and went downstairs first. Everyone's breakfast was set up at the table, a square table that could seat six people would not look crowded, the two landlords were already seated, and Pena, who lived on the third floor, was eating.
Breakfast was eggs, a few slices of baguette, ketchup, and milk, which looked healthy. Lizzie greeted Chen Xing, who had just arrived at the house, with a smile and invited him to take a seat quickly, but Pena was still as shy as she saw yesterday, eating with her head down.
In fact, Chen Xing prefers her name, Hedwig. It's beautiful to listen to. The name Pena is average, maybe it can be translated as Pena?
European girls seem to be more suitable for this kind of translation of the name with a female side. I washed my face and brushed my teeth, and straightened my hair.
After sitting down, Uncle Feida said, "Xing, today is the day you go to sign up, do you need us to send you there?" ”
"No, the Institut des Arts Décoratifs is just down the street in front of me, I can find it."
“ensad?” Pena lifted her head. Chen Xing also looked over, only to find that her eyes were still light gray, which was very clear.
"yes, are you at this school too?" Chen Xing asked as he sat down.
"No, I'm at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris." Lizzie smiled and said, "Then it seems that you are still neighbors." Chen Xing said: "We are still roommates." There was laughter at the table, only Pena was a little shy.
After eating this breakfast, Chen Xing went out, and about a kilometer walk from this street is the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
Both streets along the road are crowded with tourists during the day, but in the early morning they are deserted. There are so many sights to see in Paris in the early morning, who would come to shop early in the morning?
… There were a lot of people at the entrance of the school. Chen Xing walked in, asked a senior for directions, and came to Professor Cliff Nobel's office.
This professor was one of the few teachers who interviewed Chen Xing at the beginning, and the two have been in constant contact since then, and the relationship is okay.
"You're here, how are you doing?"
"Very good."
"That's fine, let's go, you're going to join my class, and I'll take you to meet your classmates." The Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs operates a three-plus-two policy, with three years of education followed by two years of compulsory internships...... Maybe the domestic three-plus-two higher vocational education evolved from here?
Due to Chen Xing's excellent level and the fact that he has studied in a college and university in his home country for several years, the course he set before was to directly participate in the fourth year of internship.
But later, after discussion at the school, they felt that although Chen Xing filmed well, he didn't know anything about the basics, so he still let him report to the school a few months in advance and became a transfer student in his junior year.
But fortunately, this is the last semester of my junior year, and I will graduate in June. The buildings in the art school are different from ordinary schools, not to mention that the main output of this school is the talent of the design department, and the design of the main building of the school looks beautiful from the outside, with a sense of art in the Roman era.
There is a small square in the center of several school buildings, and schools in the country like to put their national flags in this location.
But this university is a statue. The statue created by the well-known artist Francesco Bodoni stands on a long pillar, and if the weather is bad, it is generally difficult to see the details of the statue when you look up, because of the reflection, you can only see a black shadow.
Professor Nobel said: "Although our school is relatively small, it still has two main teaching buildings, one of which is the Academy of Fine Arts, which is also where you will often go in the future, and the other is the School of Architecture. Chen Xing nodded all the way.
He thinks both of these buildings are very beautiful. There is a statue every two or three meters downstairs, and above the statue, on the second floor of the teaching building, there are also portraits of well-known people.
These avatars represent the artists and architects who have influenced the world in the two hundred years since the school was founded, which can be regarded as the foundation of a school, which is incomparable to many newly established schools.
When he arrived outside the classroom, Chen Xing could hear the same noise in the classroom as the classroom in his impression, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
It seems that students all over the world are the same. After entering the door, Professor Nobel clapped his hands, and although the students did not immediately return to their seats in a panic, they all quieted down and listened to what Professor Nobel wanted to say.
"I hope everyone has a good holiday, but from today onwards you should study hard, at least you have to know where to go and what to do after the second half of the year, okay, let me introduce you to your new classmate, Xing Chen from Huaxia." Chen Xing saw that he was using French, and he also walked to the podium in French and said: "Hello, just like Professor Nobel said, you can just call me Xing, I hope we can spend the next college time happily together." ”… The applause soon rang out.
Chen Xing looked at his future classmates and was also very happy. There doesn't seem to be a Nigo in the class, and now he says that when he can get along happily with his classmates, it's not a shame.
Today is not only the first day for Chen Xinglai to sign up, but also the first day for them to return to school. Professor Nobel looked at the number of people in the classroom, did not name names, smiled at Chen Xing and said, "You can come to my office again in an hour, we still have some formalities to solve, you can already find my office, right?" ”
"Okay, Professor."
"Well, let's get along with my classmates." The professor left, and Chen Xing was soon surrounded by his classmates, who were all curious about why it was almost the end of the semester and there were new students joining their class.
"Hello, are you really a photographer in Huaxia?"
"We haven't had any classmates from Huaxia in our school for many years, haha, there are two Chinese in the second grade, do you know them?" Chen Xing shook his head.
Chinese photographers are not discriminated against in France, but they are rare. There were also some Asian faces in their class, but after everyone chatted together, they found out that there were three Asians in this class, except for Chen Xing, two were from the island country and one was from the stick country.
Fortunately, these three people have good personalities, and they don't have the stereotypes of island countries and stick countries. It is estimated that I have been staying abroad for a little longer and have become accustomed to life abroad.
The person who first accosted Chen Xing asked, "Where do you live now?" Dormitories? ”
"No, I live in a homestay not far from the school, what does the dormitory look like?"
"It's very general, let's go, I'll take you to see it." Chen Xing was pulled and hurriedly said, "Don't you have to go to class?" ”
"If you don't have a class today, it's a roll call, but now that Professor Nobel is gone, I don't think I will be called by name. There's a history of photography tomorrow at 10 o'clock, and I'm going to pull you into our Facebook discussion group......" said one of the girls.
Chen Xing soon saw the school's dormitory. It's not bad to say, at least the appearance is good-looking, if there are such dormitory conditions in China, it is estimated that it will become an Internet celebrity school a long time ago, and there may be some low-key aristocratic schools with such a style.
Needless to say, once you're in. A sour smell is inevitable. Fortunately, he chose to live off-campus, Chen Xing thought to himself.
There are murals on the walls outside the dormitory, the pattern looks like the feeling of Western China, the left hand side of the corridor is a balcony, the handrail is about more than a meter high, and the arc-shaped hollow window has a Harry Potter flavor.
The student who brought Chen Xing over said, "Look below, it's the most spectacular building in our school. Chen Xing looked down from the hollow position of the balcony.
Behind a corridor below, there is a glass-roofed building in front, and the decoration inside is faintly visible, and there are still many sculptures and wall paintings.
"There are any events or exhibitions in the school, but our photography department hasn't exhibited for a long time." The classmate sighed.
In the campus led by the Department of Design, the photography and videography major does seem to be raised by a stepmother, but it is precisely because of this that the classmates in the class seem so Buddhist, and they can't fight anyway, so it's good to live a good life and wait for graduation.
… After being taken by his classmates to visit the school for more than an hour, Chen Xing went to Professor Nobel's office to complete the rest of the registration procedures.
Now, Chen Xing can say to outsiders without any scruples that he is a student at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in France.
What hotel management, to hell with it. When he came back from school, the road was a little lively, Chen Xing bought some decorations in the shop that sold small goods, and after returning to his room to decorate it a little, Chen Xing felt that the desk was empty, and went to the Seine River to buy some second-hand books.
The banks of the Seine have long been a haven for old books, and since more than 100 years ago, there have been many second-hand bookstalls here, and today, the bookstalls along the Seine have long been a must-see for tourists visiting Paris.
Although booksellers are now selling souvenirs in order to make money, there are also many traditional booksellers.
Carrying a stack of books back to the residence, the two roommates have not come back yet, only Aunt Liz and Uncle Feida are at home, they saw that Chen Xing brought some books back, and said with satisfaction: "Reading is one of the good habits of our country, I'm glad you like it too." Chen Xing smiled, went up to put his things away, and came down again to ask about the accommodation fee while the two roommates were not there.
But Uncle Feida said in advance before Chen Xing could speak, "Are you satisfied with our family?" ”
"I liked the room very much, and everyone was very nice to get along with."
"Of course, Pena and Shah Rukh are good boys, and so are you, Star." Aunt Lizzie said. Accommodation outside the school is definitely much more expensive than in the school, but the price of 120 euros a week still makes Chen Xing feel heartache now, and if he continues like this, his less than 40,000 euros will soon be spent.
The income from the beep station and the income from the column alone cannot make up for the high consumption in Europe. Damn, why haven't you found yourself in a serious advertisement!
In the evening, after reading the message again, Chen Xing politely rejected the advertisements of two European study abroad agents, and once again thought of Old Man John's suggestion...... It seems that it is time to move the country's own to the oil pipeline.
In order to earn benefits as soon as possible, so that he at least didn't have to worry about money, Chen Xing edited overnight. and re-dubbed.
Now Chen Xing is editing relatively fast, because he doesn't have anything to do special effects, mainly because it took a little time to write the text and dubbing, so it took three to post it most of the night.
His YouTube channel is also his own name [Chen Xing], which is the same as in China. The next day, when I took the textbook to school, I couldn't help but yawn.
Since leaving the previous school, Chen Xing has liked the life of going to bed late and waking up late, and now it is very difficult to accept to return to such a day, only to see if he can get used to it after a few days like this.
The teacher of the International History of Photography was a fifty-year-old white aunt.
"Today we are going to learn about the Separation of Photography, which was founded in 1902 by Alfred Stiglitz as a group of painters and photographers, including Edward ......" Sitting next to Chen Xing was a male classmate who showed him around the school dormitory, and he whispered: "We saw about you yesterday, you actually won an A category award at the Nice Winter Photography Festival, which is amazing." ”
"Thank you." Chen Xing was weak. I took out my phone and looked at my channel. 1000+ people watched, 2 comments.
[Huaxia is indeed a very beautiful place, I was honored to go on a business trip to Huaxia 20 years ago, where the scenery is the same as the blogger's photograph]...... From Americaka.
[We also have a place in India that is as beautiful as here, and it is more beautiful, please refer to my channel for details]...... From India.
Airplanes...... The phone vibrates. There is another message. Chen Xing hurriedly went up to look at the same as he had uploaded the beep station at the beginning.
[It's hard to see such a primitive place on the Chinese mainland, in recent years, all I have seen is the prosperity of Shanghai, Yanjing, and Guangzhou, and I haven't returned to China for ten years, just looking at the Internet and thinking that the motherland has no farmers, I must go back to see it this year] ...... From Americaka.
