The Château de Châtea ”

So after breakfast, Chen Xing came over.

In the broadest sense of the word, Château de Château de Chateau has been detached from the image of an ancient castle and looks like a very modern white palace from a distance.

This is due to the fact that the main body of the castle was built in the 17th century, when France had begun to promote the classical style of rigorous modeling and symmetry, and the architecture of France during this period was officially called the French classical style.

This style is well recognizable in France.

Towers and intricate buildings, such as the Rouen Cathedral that Chen Xing saw in Rouen before, are clearly Gothic, and many churches built since then have placed more emphasis on comfort than cumbersome visual art.

To Chen Xing's surprise, this place does not belong to the French government, and since its construction, it has always belonged to the French Yuhou family, and they still live here.

This kind of family is obviously one of the top nobles in France, and the interior decoration of the castle is naturally extremely luxurious.

Huge gilded fireplaces, elm furniture carved with family crests, bronze silver-plated chandeliers weighing two hundred kilograms, and even the upholstery on the tables and chairs were silver-plated or fixed to them with gilded nails.

It was also here that Chen Xing saw what the daily life of the French aristocracy was like.

Just two words.

Envy.

Envy is the end of it.

………………

After returning from the Loire Valley, he couldn't sneak out for the next three weeks, and his daily classes were arranged relatively closely, which were still those professional classes that Chen Xing didn't want to take leave.

For example, the camera course, which he must strengthen his tutoring now, otherwise it will be too late to go out for an internship and learn again.

and a photo exhibition held by the third-grade photography class at the end of the semester.

There was also a photo exhibition at Christmas last year, but Chen Xing didn't enroll in school at that time, so he missed it. If he didn't participate this time, he wouldn't have a chance in the future, and the school never held a photo exhibition for the fourth and fifth graders.

The school is still very tough, and it is very good for students below the third grade, with various preferential policies.

But for those who enter the academy studio for internship in the fourth year, the attitude is - you are all starting to work, and you have the ability to open a solo exhibition outside!

After several days of full classes, Chen Xing's spirit was a little sluggish.

Kereji, a classmate in the photography class, saw Chen Xing coming in with a laptop, beckoned him to come and sit down, and asked, "What's wrong with you these days?" In such a hurry. ”

Chen Xing put down the computer, yawned and said:

"I'm not like you, I've been in school for three years, and I still have a lot of content that I haven't learned."

"It's good to learn what you want to use, where is there so much energy."

"It's easy to say."

Chen Xing even thinks that it would be good to enter the school a year earlier, so that he will not be in such a hurry to intern, and the performance during the internship is related to the problem of graduation, although it seems that it takes two years to graduate, but if you perform well and exceed the teacher's expectations, then it is not impossible to graduate in half a year.

Professor Nobel promised that if Chen Xing followed his team, he would graduate in a year.

But he didn't want to stay in Africa for that long, he wanted to be a little better, graduate in half a year, and then continue his world travel career.

When the class started, Chen Xing recorded the content of the teacher's teaching in his notebook, and quickly used the search software to check some things he didn't understand, so as to avoid missing the teacher's teaching progress.

Now he is totally a good student.

But maybe all the good students will have a bad student next to him who induces him to degenerate, and Kereji obviously thinks the camera class is too boring, so he asks Chen Xing: "Have you submitted the works of the photography exhibition to the teacher?" ”

"Isn't there two weeks left?"

"Then you don't have to make more preparations, I heard that the theme of this time is the future world, and the works you have made before do not fit this theme."

That's a problem.

Chen Xing stopped typing and fell into thought.

Then I immediately thought, what about going to class now, think about yarn, or wait until the end of class to think about it.

So I tapped the keyboard again.

Correji got bored and went to play with his phone by himself.

He will not develop in the direction of photography in the future, he just wants to be an ordinary photographer, so it is normal to fish in the photography class, and he basically does not go to the oil painting class, and he does not go to the human body.

How good it is to take private photos, when you meet a beautiful girl, taking photos is much more exciting than drawing the human body.

After class, Chen Xing ran to the first floor of the teaching building and looked at the detailed announcement of the third-grade photography exhibition.

This time, the theme was 'The World of the Future'

Are you being targeted?

Although Chen Xing is only a transfer student, he is now the most famous one in the third-grade photography class, and his famous style is retro portraits, followed by story photography that circulates in a small area.

The storytelling shows that Chen Xing has a deep understanding of Chinese culture, and uses a unique perspective and language to show people a real and diverse China.

The teachers who teach photography in Paris are very fond of Chen Xing's style.

But this also does not express the theme of the future world.

I always feel that the theme of the teacher is more inclined to those students who have rich imagination and like to shoot surreal photography, and such students will develop more in the future, and many of them will gradually move towards other industries.

Forget it, let's think about it slowly during this time.

Back in the dormitory, after eating, Chen Xing habitually walked into Hedwig's room, she recently painted a picture of a woman in black sitting on a dead branch in the ice and snow, the details are vivid, just like the camera captured.

Hedwig likes to use cool tones, but they can easily feel lonely.

Chen Xing watched her draw.

Painting is also something he has to study hard, and strive to become a teacher within two years, and then surprise everyone.

A photo may not make much money, but if it becomes famous in the field of painting, then the money of the manor and Annie's money can be earned, I don't know if Annie can wait until Chen Xing really makes a lot of money.

Chen Xing suddenly asked, "What do you think of the future world?" ”

Hedwig thought about it for a moment, but shook her head and continued to paint.

Her performance showed that she didn't know how to explain it, which made Chen Xing sit on the bed a little deflated. Hedwig looked at him and said, "You don't have to be so anxious, even if you can't shoot a new work, you can still use your previous work to participate in the competition." ”

It's almost graduation season, and there are exhibitions in major colleges and universities.

Hedwig's current work will be displayed in the school's exhibition in a few days.

"That's not going to work." Chen Xing sat up and said, "What I used to shoot didn't match this theme at all. ”

"It's what you said that retro is always popular, why is it that now, there will be no retro in the future world?"

Chen Xing suddenly laughed.

Hedwig is joking now, too.

"I'll go out for a while." He said.

Chen Xing picked up his coat and pushed the door open and walked out, sitting at home when he was lacking inspiration is the worst choice, going out for a walk, maybe he can find what he wants in some casual place.

He actually had a little idea, which was to combine a lot of color and photography to synthesize a cyberpunk-like work in post-production.

But this requires a lot of post-production.

He has always disliked the use of post-production in photography, and always feels that your works in the early stage can't show the style you want, so do the works you modify through post-production technology still have a soul? In that case, why not paint?

That's why he wanted to learn to draw.

Chen Xing's photographic philosophy is to take pictures of what he sees, and if he can't shoot it, it means that the picture is not what he wants.

Passing by an Apple store, Chen Xing stopped.

The minimalism of the Apple store made Chen Xing's long-blocked brain suddenly open.

Yes, the future doesn't have to be complicated, he may also be very concise, compared to adding so many colors into it, making people dizzy, the kind of line that can catch the attention of others, isn't it more awesome?

Chen Xing had an idea.

There is a place that is perfect for shooting such a work.

Of course, not in the Apple store, but in the building of their school, the Academy of Fine Arts.

The Académie des Beaux-Arts building at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris was designed by the French architect Auguste Perret. He was a pioneer of modernist architecture, with a lot of minimalist design on the top floor.

Chen Xing has been there a few times, but he hasn't paid much attention to it.

But just now, a few pictures from the Academy of Fine Arts instantly ran into his mind, so clear that he could even remember some details.

Frankly speaking, although Chen Xing hadn't rushed over with the camera yet, he had already thought about the composition.

Surrounded by a white fence and a staircase that spirals down in a square.

The window opens diagonally, and inside is the lounge for the students of the Academy of Fine Arts.

A white skylight, surmounted by several shelfs of irregular glass, also white, support the glass above.

However, this skylight has not been cleaned for a long time, and it is a little dirty.

It took an hour to shoot, and then I hurried home to start retouching.

Photography still has to be retouched, but not too much. If you are not explicitly told in a photography contest or photo exhibition that you can't retouch, you can fix it a little bit, or just like Chen Xing wanted to do before, just use a lot of retouching as your own photography style.

The judges have always been afraid that you will cultivate too much, and they are afraid that you will not cultivate at all.

Chen Xing made the skylight cleaner, and then removed all other decorations around it, leaving only a few very simple sets of buildings with lines and structures, and their light and shadow.

He submitted the work.

In fact, if this group of works is placed in Chen Xing's circle of friends, it is estimated that it will receive a lot of question marks.

Because this is a group of pure showmanship, the author can freely explain what concept he used, what theme he created, and how he could explain it. But when it comes to the author's explanation, he is just a set of minimalist photographs that show the photographer's photographic technique.

But compared to the things that Chen Xing shot before, this set of photos will definitely not deviate from the topic.
