Chapter 214: Wind and Love (300 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
There are a lot of flowers planted in this garden, and May and June are the days when a large number of flowers are in full bloom, and the flowers of different colors add a lot of romantic colors to the garden.
Kissing is all too common in France. Smelling the refreshing fragrance of flowers, Chen Xing also wanted to embrace something, but he could only hug himself now.
Whew! Frankly speaking, although I don't know what is the difference between Monet's aesthetics 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 these flowers, it is estimated to be the same level as the garden behind the Wenshu Monastery in Rongcheng.
What does the Internet say that beauty is a legend, and beauty is healing...... You don't have to be so popular. At least in China, there are still countless beautiful gardens.
It's just that the variety of flowers is really incomparable. The people of Western Xinjiang are very fond of raising flowers and planting flowers, and Chen Xing directly tripled the number of flowers he knew in his knowledge base in the few days in Western Xinjiang, but Chen Xing still had many flowers that could not be named when he came to Monet's garden.
It is estimated that few people will be able to identify all the flowers in Monet's garden, except for those who are professionally involved.
In their time, Monet was one of the few painters who enjoyed the pleasure of making money while he was alive, and he bought the huge manor house with the money from the sale of his paintings, and then spent most of the money he earned to renovate the courtyard.
He buys plants from Egypt, Africa, Asia and other places to grow them, and takes care of them himself, watching them grow.
Some people say that this is the source of inspiration for Monet, and Chen Xing agrees that it is difficult for an artist to live in such an environment without the idea of creating.
When he came to the water garden, Chen Xing felt that it was more like a garden. Take a closer look at the introduction. Oh, Japanese style, isn't that a variant of the Tang style?
Teachers of the history of photography said that the art of photography in Europe was influenced by the ukiyo-e of island countries in the 19th century, and the style of many photographers carried the atmosphere of island countries during that period, and the style gradually emerged in the international art world.
If this is true of photography, the field of painting will be affected even more. Painters such as Van Gogh and Monet have a deep study of island art, and when they come to Monet's house, they will see a large number of ukiyo-e paintings collected by him on the wall.
Speaking of Monet's house, there is another point that surprises Chen Xing. A bearded painter, his room is actually powder blue, bright yellow, and decorated with a lot of broken flowers, the princess's room is nothing more than that, it seems that Monet also has a girl's heart.
Walking out of Monet's garden, Chen Xing can be regarded as fulfilling his wish. Like most attractions, Monet's garden is not a place that can amaze you now, just like the famous Li Bai's former residence, Du Fu's thatched cottage, it has become a place for fans to check in and worship in later generations.
Being able to come here, to see where Monet sat down to paint water lilies, to see the scenery in the pond is the same as in his painting, Chen Xing is already very satisfied.
He now cares more about the town outside than he does about the inside of the manor. A garden that can be seen everywhere in China, and a town full of exotic customs, who do you choose if you are a tourist?
Then you must choose a style town. Who knows if it's the wind or the love first? ……………… It was on this Friday that ELLE released the latest issue of the magazine, using Chen Xing's works as the cover on the French edition and Chen Xing's works as the inside pages on the Huaxia edition, introducing Chen Xing, a commercial photographer who became popular in France.
As one of the world's top five women's fashion magazines, ELLE also has a large number of people on Hong Kong Island in China.
Wu Xiangling, the owner and designer of the Swena brand store, is one of the fans of "ELLE".
For her, watching elle is no longer about appreciating the fashion in it as a fan, but about drawing elements and inspiration from it, so as to make her design shine again.
On the first day of Elle's release, four copies of Elle from different regions were placed on his desk by his assistant.
English, French, Danish, Chinese, four versions. The work at hand could not be completed for a while, so Wu Xiangling decided to relax and read the magazine first.
She asked her assistant while turning the page: "Have you read this issue of ELLE?" Are there any interesting fashions? ”
"I haven't had time to look yet." It's a change of season, the whole company is busy, where can she be an assistant, if you really answer it, then the boss may know when you must have fished.
Wu Xiangling didn't actually think about it that much, just asked casually. Her attention was drawn to the cover of the French edition.
Isn't this the Hong Kong breeze? This style is not known to the French, but can the people of Hong Kong Island still not know it?
Thirty years ago, even twenty years ago, they were doing their work in this style, whether it was a photograph or a film.
It's just that this style has gradually declined with the rise of the Chinese mainland. He opened the French edition of the magazine, and sure enough, there was a sentence about the photographer on the cover - high-end retro photography?
She took a serious look at the cover taken by Chen Xing and Chen Xing, and in the cover, Sophie Marceau was mature and confident, with a kind of self-confidence that the sky fell and the old lady could top it.
It's really different from the traditional Hong Kong style, but it's obviously a Chinese photographer who has absorbed the things of the Hong Kong style, so he doesn't promote Hong Kong Island at all?
This kind of person is simply eating inside and out...... Actually, it's a pity for you. Chen Xing hasn't received an interview with elle yet, and the high-end retro style is just the name given to Chen Xing'an by the magazine.
She quickly finished reading the French version. When watching the Hong Kong version, Wu Xiangling saw Chen Xing's name again, as well as more photographic works, the people in it are still different, and the last page of this group of works introduces Chen Xing in detail and also determines the style.
[Chen Xing, a 20-year-old Chinese photographer who studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, is currently emerging in Paris, born out of the Hong Kong style, integrating the unique freehand nature of Chen Xing's works, forming such a work full of reality and freehand, he fuses two different styles together, bridging the gap between the old and the 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 also a picture of Chen Xing holding a trophy in the back. She flipped through the prints.
20 years old. It's really amazing, the works I shoot can be on the cover of elle, when I was 20 years old, I would only hold this magazine full of fantasies, and I was also our photographer in China.
Are there any opportunities for cooperation? It's a pity that I don't know what the price of ELLE magazine's invitation to Chen Xing is.
"Zhou Zhou." She shouted to the assistant sitting outside to look over, and then she said: "You take a look at the Hong Kong Island edition of Elle's magazine first, you pay attention to the photographer Chen Xing inside, look for his contact information, and see if you can invite him to our fashion show next month." After the assistant went back to work, Wu Xiangling did not continue to work, but looked at Chen Xing's award-winning photos for a long time.
So familiar. Have you seen it before? ……………… Chen Xing was eating at a restaurant called Baudy, and I heard that Monet often ate here, and then the decoration style here is also the kind of early twentieth century, very old, with faded picture frames, stopped clocks, dim chandeliers, and tables that seem to be somewhat faded.
But as a restaurant, it's very clean. In Chen Xing's view, a well-built and loving small restaurant is definitely more worthy of shooting than a luxurious and gorgeous restaurant.
The charge is also available, not as expensive as imagined, a set meal only costs less than thirty euros, to be precise 29.9 euros, the main dish is French confit duck leg, he didn't expect it to be so delicious before eating it.
He recorded himself with his camera. When he goes back to cut it, he must highly recommend this dish to his fans, it is really delicious!
While eating lunch, Chen Xing took out his mobile phone and played for a while. Recently, there have been more and more calls, and Chen Xing has turned on the rejection of all strangers' calls.
If you really want to find yourself, you can find Chen Xing's photography website, which has his email address, Chen Xing will go to see the mailbox every night, and occasionally someone will use the works on the website.
There are people at home and abroad, and there has been a noticeable increase in the past two weeks. Chen Xing was not in a hurry about this. It's just a little famous in the photography and fashion world, it's nothing, and the impact on Chen Xing's travel is even worse than the popular video that he inexplicably made last time.
I've written it so well, and you've only got a few hundred thousand people to read it. Send a video to dictate it, millions of views...... Outrageous!
During the meal, Chen Xing saw an interesting person, a teenage boy running around the town with a bamboo fish basket on his waist.
Chen Xing had met him many times when he was in the town. He came running in with a dusty buttocks, and seemed to have fallen, but as if he didn't care at all, he came in and said, "Daddy, I'm hungry!" A woman came over and said, "Wrestling again?" Tell you not to run around, how good it is to stay at home, and to help your dad with things, he is too busy. "It's flowering season, and it's the busiest time for a flower town like Giverny.
"I'm too busy either, I've picked up a lot of flowers!" He lifted his basket. No, it should be a flower basket, after all, it is for flowers, and it does look a bit like a vase if you look closely.
The child looked in the store, and Chen Xing was alone, so he came over and asked, "Can I sit here?" ”
"No problem, please be seated." The child's mother has gone to work, this is a small shop, the owner has not invited too many people, and 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, you know?"
"You know, it's a country with a lot of rich people."
"In fact, there are more poor people."
"You must not be poor! Are you here alone? Chen Xing put away his smile. My smile is not for the little kid who doesn't know how to do it.
Chen Xing checked out and was about to leave, and when he took out his wallet, he took out a pink petal, he picked it up and put it in the bamboo pocket where the child put the flowers, and said, "I gave it to you." ”
"Thank you!" After paying the money and going out, Chen Xing continued to walk around the town. It's a small town that can be walked in thirty minutes, but some of the alleys are also stunning, and it's a second time to seriously pass through these places to experience the flower-filled outdoor restaurants and the low-hanging eaves of wisteria.
The town is full of beautiful views. Chen Xing, like many people, stopped under a beautiful house, and the family was very interesting, they installed a bubble machine under the eaves of the room, and then kept spitting bubbles, forming many small rainbows in the sun.
Paired with the flowers that the family planted outside the house. Beautiful. Chen Xing took a close-up of the bubbles above the corner with a camera, a series of bubbles came out of the room, innocent and magical, the person who arranged this thing must be a wonderful person, no one Linglong thought of such an interesting thing?
At this moment, in addition to someone taking pictures with Chen Xing, there were also painters who immediately came to inspiration, put down the easel they were carrying and began to look for paint.
Chen Xing took a look during the photo, and when he saw that she was still looking for her, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, very happy.
Even though photography has many limitations compared to painting, there is one that painting cannot compare. Chen Xing pressed the shutter again, and with a click, a photo was added to the memory again.
That's efficiency. The painters observed the landscape and hesitated to put down their brushes, but seemed to have forgotten something, and the photographer had already pressed the tenth shutter.
Suddenly, someone came over and pulled Chen Xing's clothes. Chen Xing was startled, he was engrossed in looking at the viewfinder.
When I looked back, it was the little guy I had just met in the restaurant.
"What are you doing here?"
"Brother, can you help me hand this to that sister?" He raised his hand and handed Chen Xing something rolled up in paper.
"Huh?" Chen Xing looked at him. In his teens, no more than twelve, and then look at the person he was referring to, it was the painter who had just come to inspiration, a female painter, with short hair and exposed arms, and tattoos on her arms, and a wheat-colored body full of fitness beauty.
At least the same age as Chen Xing.
"What do you want to do, kid." Picking up is something that only adults like us can do, you can't grasp it, boy.
"It's that sister's paint, I picked it up." Pigment? Chen Xing looked at it, it was indeed a pigment, and it was still a big white.
This thing fell off and drew a fart. Chen Xing saw that the man was still looking for something, so he almost poured out all the things in the backpack, so Chen Xing took it and said to the painter, "Are you looking for this?" ”
"Yes, God, it's good that he's here." She was so excited that she didn't even bother to thank Chen Xing and began to mix colors on the paint plate.
But at this time, countless petals fell from the sky. A gust of wind blows, and colorful petals flutter in the wind.
Everyone looked back. The child laughed: "Sister Kailu! Look at it, this is the romantic rainbow you want! I've helped you find your boyfriend, and I'll help you find the rainbow on land at the wedding. Looking at the petals floating in the sky, mixed with those bubbles blown out by the bubble machine, and the surrounding scenery that was already charming like an oil painting, Chen Xing didn't care about looking at the beauty at all, and turned his hands up to catch these flowers, but he didn't catch any of them, he turned in a circle and watched the last flower also fall.
This view is stunning! One wants to take a picture...... No, I can't express it by taking pictures, I want to draw it! [Giverny has the best weather and the most vivid flowers in the suburbs of Paris, and 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 for memories and time] [Wind and love, maybe they will not be separated] [Acquire skill: defensive conditioning] Will you give skills?
Is it appropriate to give this? When she came back to her senses, the woman was chasing the child.
"I'm! I've just been inspired! ”
