The Rencontres d'Arles is a great event held every July in Arles in the south of France and is one of the most prestigious photography festivals in the world, with photographers from all over the world participating every year.

Yan Chenxing didn't have top-notch works during this time, so he didn't think about participating in the competition. "I'm not going to participate in this year's festival. Professor Nobel didn't expect Chen Xing to say this, in his opinion, photographers from China like Chen Xing should work harder to participate in these international photography festivals, otherwise how to improve the influence of Chinese photographers in the world.

"Why?" Chen Xing spread his hands: "There are no good works recently." ”

"Have you forgotten the pieces you used in your interviews? I've checked, and except for two in your domestic magazine, none of the other works seem to have appeared in the world. "Spring Village?

Last year, Chen Xing used a piece of terraced rice to write an article titled "Ancient Village in Southern Yunnan: Thousands of Mirrors Reflect the Smoke of Cooking", which was published in China's National Geographic magazine.

The night scene of Miao Village, which has been praised by the professors, is still in Chen Xing's work library. Chen Xing nodded: "Yes, this kind of work...... May I? Professor Nobel smiled and said: "Of course, the Arles Photo Festival is an international photography festival, photographers from all over the world will come with their works, style is not a problem, I hope you can win an award, your group of works is especially perfect in the expression of Chinese culture." "The ancient building in Chunmanzhai is originally very beautiful, which Chen Xing himself knows.

This is also the only group of works that he can use to participate in the photography festival at the moment. But this is pure Chinese style.

This is also the reason why he does not want to participate in the exhibition, can Europeans appreciate the Chinese style? In case this group of works is released, there are no awards, and he is crushed by other works that Chen Xing can't look at, then he will lose a lot.

It's better to wait for a domestic photography festival to win awards and make up qualifications. Nobel saw that Chen Xing was still hesitating, and said: "Don't you want the people of the Paris Academy of Fine Arts to have a good look at your ability?" What are you worried about? ”

"I'm afraid they won't be able to read it." Chen Xing said honestly.

"Chen, what were you doing during class? The theme of this year's Rencontres d'Arles is "Homecoming", all photographers are showing their exploration of their hometown, homeland and sense of belonging. Professor Nobel's sudden sternness made Chen Xing's heart chuckle.

When did you say this in class? I'm distracted? Kereji helped Chen Xing refute and said, "Professor Nobel, when the theme of the Arles Photo Festival was announced, Chen Xing hadn't come to our school yet, so he shouldn't have known. Chen Xing: "......"

"I see, okay, quickly sort out your group of works, send it to me, and I'll help you upload it to the organizing committee." Professor Nobel looked natural.

A little embarrassment, not surprising. If he hadn't known that the Paris Academy of Fine Arts was bribing the newspaper to question Chen Xing's creative ability, he would not have thought of the works used by Chen Xing in the interview last year.

checked it overnight, and only then did I know that Chen Xing's group of works had not been used. In the past few years, he has studied the outstanding works of the Arles Photo Festival, and in Nobel's opinion, Chen Xing must have no problem winning the Best Newcomer Award.

The award is the best response to the negative news in the newspaper. Isn't it just that the name of the four major art academies recruits a little more art students than us, what is the spirit?

Have the ability to find two students in these classes to participate in the photography festival to see if they can be selected.

When Chen Xing joined the school, he had a mature photography style, and the school couldn't teach him anything.

The school pushes it a little more, and it won't take a few years to become a well-known alumnus. The benefits of this kind of white pick-up are all rushing out, and that's it.

Chen Xing went back to the room directly to look at it, selected nine works taken in Chunmanzhai at that time and sent them to Professor Nobel's mailbox, although he can also take the official route to compete with many photographers, but there is a background, why waste time?

Wouldn't it be for nothing that he joined the school? After sending it out, Chen Xing flipped through his library.

This folder is full of works that Chen Xing is relatively satisfied with, and now many of them have been used, and the only remaining top-level works, at least in his opinion, are very satisfactory works, and only "A Sad Man" remains.

This is the donkey friend Chen Xing met when he visited the Potala Palace, a man who seems to be sunny, but has no direction in life.

He doesn't go home, he doesn't get married, he lives in the car, and the creed of life is to play wherever he goes, and he is a prodigal son in the eyes of the world.

This work was taken by Chen Xing when they were separated. Chen Xing's personal style is very suitable for photographing such people with their own personalities.

This picture is full of the word loneliness. Turning off the computer, Chen Xing went downstairs. The living room on the first floor is lively now, but the spacious house is also large enough to accommodate so many people, and some classmates have brought their girlfriends...... At the moment, they are all from other schools, and they don't seem to have a pair in their class.

Feeling something, Chen Xing went to the stairs and looked up. She looked at Hedwig for a moment, then ran back to her room.

This girl, social fear is really hopeless. I don't know what Gong Ziying is doing at the moment, at least Chen Xing is not alone at all today, eating the Napoleon cake made by Aunt Lizi, and enjoying the night of the last junior semester spent with his companions.

At ten o'clock, Professor Nobel drove Chen Xing to the airport. On the way, he said: "Do you feel sorry that you can't visit the Arles Photo Festival this time?" Chen Xing shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "I can go next year, and the year after tomorrow, I'm still young." ”

"Haha, yes, we'll see you at the end of the month." Chen Xing got out of the car and went to the trunk to get his luggage, and when he came out, he waved his hand at Professor Nobel.

It is indeed goodbye at the end of the month. Because then they will have to go to Africa in the summer, damn it, I don't know how hot it will be over there, if they really want to stay for half a year, they won't be considered Africans when they return home, right?

Tanned. After flying around on the plane for the past two years, Chen Xing has become accustomed to sleeping on the plane.

This is one of the very few planes that can go directly to Chengdu. In fact, it stands to reason that the Tianfu International Airport in Chengdu was specially established for international flights to Europe, but it doesn't seem to have been done, and European planes mainly fly to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and then change flights back to Chengdu.

When I arrived in Rongcheng, it was afternoon, my brother-in-law went to work, and it was Xu Xiaofei who drove to pick up Chen Xing.

"Little Star!" Xu Xiaofei saw Chen Xing come out, and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted. Diaphragm

"Sister." Chen Xing happily responded. Xu Xiaofei looked at Chen Xing, who was becoming more and more handsome, nodded, very satisfied, and said, "Is France fun?" What is a French school like? I've always had the idea of getting Little Apple to study abroad. ”

"It's useless to think about it now, let's wait until she goes to high school." If you have poor grades, you can go out to study, and when you come back, you will be a returnee, and when major companies are recruiting, you will basically conduct a second round of interviews when you see that you have study abroad experience on your resume.

But if you have good grades, you don't need to go abroad. A foreign country is not a place where you can sit down and study. However, Chen Xing refers to ordinary majors, if it is a technical major, or an art major, especially if you study oil painting, you can study abroad or study abroad, there is really no soil in China.

Xu Xiaofei nodded. Chen Xing knows more than them, listen to him. When he arrived at the parking lot, Chen Xing suddenly reacted.

Isn't my brother-in-law driving?

"Sister, you drove it by yourself?"

"Uh-huh, what's wrong? Don't dare to ride in my car? "Ahh

"Are you kidding?" Chen Xing put the suitcase away, sat in the car as if he were dead, and put on his seat belt seriously.

Anyway, he hadn't seen his sister drive before. I even heard that she paid an extra 5,000 yuan to get a driver's license.

My cousin looked at Chen Xing dissatisfiedly from the moment he got into the driver's seat, and when he was ready, he rolled his eyes and said, "Look at your nervous appearance, what's there to be nervous, I drive very safely." She lit the engine, looked around, and was ready to go.

Chen Xing reminded: "Seat belts." ”

"Uh-oh." Diaphragm ............ His house in Rongcheng has been renovated, but there is still a lot of furniture that he has not bought, so he still lives at his cousin's house tonight.

The next morning he went to see the house. China Resources 24 Chengqi Mansion is a real estate that has been on sale for a long time, due to the good location, the occupancy rate is more than 90%, the garden downstairs is very lively, and you can see the beauties who run in the morning.

Take the elevator upstairs. In two months, the newly painted wall paint has dried, and the wooden floor on the ground has also been re-laid, so clean that Chen Xing doesn't want to walk in with his shoes on, take off his shoes, and step on the wooden floor barefoot, and he won't feel too cold.

This is the advantage of wooden flooring. However, if there are smokers in the house, it is best not to use wooden floors, in case you are not careful, let the cigarette butts fall on the floor, it is a very ugly little black hole, and it is far less clean than tiles.

Chen Xing took a few photos in the room, and then found a piece of paper to draw the layout and area of the room.

@同学, send ...... My school has the best architectural design program in France, so it's a shame not to prostitute a few design drawings in vain...... I walked to the study, put back a few books that I had finished reading, and found a few more that I wanted to read.

He is quite satisfied with this study, but the design is average, and the bookcase is also a log color with glass bookcase, a bit of Chinese style, but it is placed in a small room in the study, which is not atmospheric enough.

If you buy a house in the future, it will definitely not be a villa. When the time comes, see if you can find a designer who is also proficient in Chinese design, plan a Chinese-style decoration to try, and it will definitely be very comfortable to live.

But that's all for later. I don't know if the classmates have a template, the design is very fast, the two design drafts were made in the afternoon, and then the two of them studied the choice of furniture on mSN for a long time, mainly to see if there are these furniture brands in Rongcheng.

Fortunately, there are stores in Rochburg Chengdu. When I went to buy furniture, my cousin was bored and went with me.

I know that Chen Xing is spending money fiercely now, but he is still shocked by the price of furniture from international brands.

A simple chair used for eating, the price of a single purchase is 100,000 yuan, is this chair made of gold or silver?

A small single sofa, it should look very comfortable, 60,000. This sofa was bought by Chen Xing, which was to be placed on the bay window.

It was even more difficult for her to understand when she went to buy lamps. Pulling Chen Xing, she asked, "Have you made a fortune?" "If he buys the furniture model that he and his friends have determined, he will almost squeeze out the money that Chen Xing has earned during this time, and even use the money he earned from traveling in France...... 20,000 yuan for one province.

But after finally buying a house, who doesn't want to do a good job of their small family within the scope of their finances?

His classmates in France said it was only a modest design. Also, what Chen Xing can afford now can only be said to be medium, and the most expensive thing he bought is the sofa in the living room, 170,000 Huaxia yuan, and the Rochburg home furnishing is said to be airlifted from France.

Although this statement is more suspicious, it looks the same as the photo given to him by his classmates. After chopping his hands today, Chen Xing returned to his cousin's house to make a calculation.

Good fellow, I'm poor again. The three bank cards add up to only 130,000 Chinese dollars, and 40,000 euros.

"Forget it, get the furniture done first, buy bedding or something next time, and go home tomorrow." This year, he definitely doesn't have much time in the country, so if he can't get it all of a sudden, then do it slowly, and he knows that the lamps and lanterns can be done next time, save some money, in case he wants to use it in Africa?

They and Professor Nobel are paid to shoot for a living, but no one thinks they have a lot of money.

There is another opportunity to make money. On June 18, a fashion brand on Hong Kong Island invited Chen Xing to be a photographer, and the price was very good.

It is a catwalk for the release of new products in autumn. Chen Xing has seen a lot of catwalks, and various catwalks in Paris are held every once in a while, there are many big brands, small brands, etc., but as a photographer, Chen Xing was invited to participate in a catwalk, and it was the first time for Chen Xing.

He is still looking forward to this press conference. Europe and the United States sometimes look for Asian models more ordinary, for example, they like to look for Asian models with darker skin and smaller eyes.

Chen Xing also asked a classmate of fashion design about this question, and she asked Chen Xing in surprise: "Don't you like such eyes?" "Yan Chenxing had to take the time to explain the definition of small eyes, slanted eyes, and Danfeng eyes.

In fact, she is quite good, and the Asian models she looks for on the catwalk in Paris under normal circumstances are not outrageous. Some designers think that Oriental people are mysterious, and there is a mystery and charm in small eyes, and such models are also very good-looking.

In the domestic catwalk, everyone understands what aesthetics their people like. I should be able to see some beautiful Asian models on this trip, so Chen Xing feels very excited.
