Chapter 308: A World of Two?
The festive atmosphere in Arles has nothing to do with Paris, but Paris is as lively as ever, even in the 5th arrondissement, there is no shortage of tourists at all, and the Pantheon and the Jardin des Plantes have always been a favorite check-in point for visitors to Paris.
Chen Xing did not recommend these well-known places in his book like everyone else, and he mainly wrote about the historical streets of the Fifth Arrondissement in his book.
There are even quite a few gardens with a European style.
Chen Xing was sketching in one of the courtyards at the moment, putting down his camera and picking up his paintbrush.
Hedwig tried too hard.
When she came back, she began to practice in retreat, which was similar to when Chen Xing first came before, but now she occasionally comes out to cook a meal for Chen Xing or something, which is quite good, so that Chen Xing will not eat takeout every day.
Although sometimes Chen Xing still thinks that takeout is delicious, there is no need to tell others.
She was happy when she had something to paint, and perhaps partly because of herself, and that sentiment was contagious to him. That's why he came out to sketch today to consolidate the painting knowledge he learned this year.
How to say, painting, is still a higher level than photography.
Take your time, Chen Xing is not in a hurry now.
After all, his paintings are worthless, and the photos he took have been fried for fifty or sixty thousand euros. This price is very inflated, and it is estimated that it will fall back to between 30,000 and 50,000 in a month or two, but it is enough for Chen Xing to live a superior life.
This kind of photograph refers to the works sold by galleries and placed on the walls of the villas of the wealthy.
If there are other special uses, the price of a photo will be higher than this amount, depending on the cooperation.
In short, in the case of financial independence, Chen Xing also began to re-plan his time.
This courtyard is located at 252 Sorbonne University Street in the 5th arrondissement, and the main body is a historical building more than 300 years ago, and Chen Xing is now painting the garden under the old house.
There are a lot of art students in Paris, and Chen Xing doesn't want to explain this anymore, although some parts of Paris are really dirty. However, history has endowed it with a beautiful artistic environment, which has attracted people from all over the world to study painting.
In this small garden, Chen Xing saw seven or eight art students who came here to sketch.
There are not many flowers in bloom in the garden, and it looks a little gloomy.
But the reason why painting is higher than photography is because it can accommodate more imagination of the artist.
Chen Xing's paintings are still full of flowers.
Unlike Hedwig's paintings, when the paint was thrown around, Chen Xing squeezed it out and put it back in his bag neatly...... He is not in a hurry to paint this picture, there is still half a month before the school starts and the students come back.
"Star, borrow some paint?"
"What do you want?"
"Pure white."
Chen Xing glanced at his bag and said, "I don't have much, you can go out and buy it yourself." ”
The person who talked to him was from the second-grade painting class, Chen Xing always went to their class this year, so he also knew him, and he recognized him after coming here with a bunch of things, and he forgot his specific name, only that he had a nickname called Maise.
Pure white pigments play a great role in oil painting, so they are used at a loss compared to other colors.
In most industries, this kind of material that requires a lot of use must be cheap, right?
But the oil painting industry says no to this convention!
He's expensive.
It's okay to buy cheap paint, but you have to put up with a color shift no matter how you mix it, and you compare the same painting to those who use top-quality paint. You can see at a glance who is good and who is bad.
Maise quickly borrowed the paint from someone else, and said, "It's so hard to borrow." ”
Chen Xing nodded slightly and asked, "When will your class start, is the teacher still the same as last year?" ”
"He's still here, but I heard that a new teacher, the Danish painter Mayerland, whose paintings can be sold for more than a million at auction houses in New York, is a very powerful new painter."
"You're in luck." Chen Xing said.
Paris has few high-end students, many teachers, and often invites such famous artists to come to the school to teach, so if one of them meets a real master, and the master also takes a fancy to his talent to accept apprentices, it will really soar.
Chen Xing and others inquired, but the teachers of the photography class are still the same.
However, it has nothing to do with students like Chen Xing who have entered the internship period, and it is not certain what Chen Xing will do after the start of school this year.
It is possible to follow the Nobel teacher's project.
At the end of the month, Chen Xing had to go back to Huaxia, and he made an appointment with Tang Shiyi for a set of photos, how to take them, he had already drawn a sketch with a pencil. This is what Chen Xing wants to shoot the most at present, and he has been waiting for almost two months.
chatted with Mai Se about things in school, and Chen Xing didn't take his things and go back until it was dark at seven or eight o'clock.
He was familiar with the piece.
The school is in the 5th district, and the place where I live is in the 5th district.
Where exactly does the five arrondissements of Paris mean, Chen Xinghui suggests buying his upcoming book quickly.
……………………
After returning home, Chen Xing habitually went to the refrigerator to get a drink in the hall first, there was a slight movement in the house, this is normal, it may be that Hedwig is cooking again, it seems that I am a guinea pig again tonight.
Hedwig's cooking is not unpalatable, but it's a bit handy, after all, she hasn't been learning for a long time.
If you want to learn seriously, Chen Xing thinks that cooking should be very simple.
Although he can't do it himself, that's what Chen Xing thinks.
The cans were torn open and the drinks were rattled, and Paris was still a little hot, and it was very comfortable to come home from the outdoors and drink a chilled drink.
As soon as he walked out of the refrigerator, Chen Xing saw Shah Ruk Yazan who was going downstairs with a suitcase, that is, the third brother who lived next door to Chen Xing.
Since graduating in June, Chen Xing saw him for the first time.
The two reunited after a long absence, staring at each other with big eyes, and they were both stunned.
Two seconds later, Chen Xing suddenly spewed smoke-like coke on the ground, almost uncomfortably dead......
"Ahem!! Ah, Shahrukh, when did you come back? ”
"You...... You okay? ”
Shah Rukh asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Chen Xing coughed twice, wiped his mouth with a tissue on the dining table, and said, "I didn't know you were back, I thought it was Hedwig's movement." Where are you going with your stuff? ”
"Hedwig? Don't you say I thought she's not there......" Shah Rukh first laughed at Hedwig's social phobia, and then said, "I met an island man at school who loves games as much as I do, and we want to open a game store in Paris together." ”
"Game store?"
Chen Xing's mind suddenly appeared in the video game city in the town when he was very young.
At that time, it was not called a video game city, it was just an ordinary storefront opened in a place where no one usually goes, and then blocked it with a cloth curtain, and as soon as you entered, it was full of smoke and alcohol, as well as a place for gangsters.
Chen Xing's cousin Chen Jie was very mixed up in their town at that time, and Chen Xing followed him to see it.
By the time he grew up a little bit and was also called brother, this kind of store was no longer visible, and the video game city that appeared later did not have the feeling of that time.
Chen Xing and Shah Rukh made an analogy.
Shah Rukh quickly shook his head and said, "Who still plays this kind of thing now?" I'm talking about the game I usually play.,PS5.,Or switch or something.。 What did you think of the Red Dead Redemption recommended to you last time? ”
"It's okay." Chen Xing said.
He had learned about the game from others when he was hiking in the past, and it wasn't until this year that he had time to play it on his computer.
The story is good and touching.
But after a week of playing, I'm a little tired of it...... The plot is excellent, and the graphics are shocking, but it doesn't seem to have much playability.
It's still fun to play online games.
"Then why are you moving things?"
"I'll also use this one, anyway, I'll go there every day, and I won't have time to play games at home. My room is gone, and I can live in a small room there to sleep again. ”
Chen Xing understood.
"Did you know that Hedwig and I were in love, so you want to move away without bothering us?"
Shah Rukh shook his head and responded that Chen Xing was not like this.
Did he open the store to make money?
No, it's to play games with people, Hedwig is a socially phobic art girl in this house, Chen Xing is very talkative, and the two communicate a lot, but Chen Xing doesn't play games, and it's no fun to live here.
But when he shook his head, his eyes widened.
"You and Hedwig?"
"Uh-huh."
"Hey, brother, you're confused...... Sometimes I forgot about her, and to be honest, it took a week to see her in this house, or my uncle and aunt went to bring her food, and I thought she lived outside. ”
"Why are you with her?"
Pretty, what's there to say?
Chen Xing glanced upstairs and said, "You keep quiet, otherwise she will be sad again." ”
"Are you really?"
"It doesn't make sense to be real or fake, we still have our own lives, but since I'm her boyfriend, I have to maintain and take care of her. Anyway, if only you didn't move because of us, or I'd be embarrassed. ”
Shah Rukh rolled his eyes.
"I don't see it, I think you're happy."
Chen Xing smiled and said, "Really? ”
I asked for the address again.
They opened a store in the 4th arrondissement, which has the Centre Pompidou and the Paris Couch Laurea Temple, which is also a place where tourists gather, and it is not cheap to get a storefront here.
But money is not a big deal for Shahuk.
The old Indian aristocracy is not short of this money.
He found a car to park outside, and Chen Xing also helped him move things back and forth twice.
People who have money and don't have any old things are estimated to be very easy to move, and Shah Rukh brought some favorite clothes, books, and five boxes of physical disks or cards to take away, and didn't want anything else.
After the others left, Hedwig came out of the room.
"Is it Shahrukh?"
Chen Xing nodded and said, "He found a new place to live, in the fourth district." ”
"Is it because of us?"
"I knew you had to think about this, don't worry, people have found a bunch of friends to play games with, it's cool. It's like me, I can't find someone to play games with me, how can I say that come to my room at night? ”
Chen Xing frantically hinted that Hedwig bowed her head and pretended to be an ostrich.
With Hedwig's character, it is estimated that it will not be long before he will take the initiative on his own, so Chen Xing is not in a hurry, he has never met such a woman, and it is very fresh at present.
Uncle Feida and Aunt Lizzie are moving to the countryside, and Shah Rukh is also leaving, so isn't this big house their world for two?
The two of them were separated by a floor, and the next day Aunt Lizi rushed back from the countryside.
After opening the door and coming in, I saw that the house that had not come back for half a month was still clean and clean, and a smile appeared on my face.
Hedwig, this girl, although she is a little sloppy, she still accomplishes what she promised very neatly.
She was sure that this house was not cleaned up by Chen Xing or Sha Rukh, and the two of them never took care of the living room, bathroom, and corridor stairs. Chen Xing would only clean up his room, and Shah Rukh would only clean up his pile of rags.
A head popped up on the second floor.
Seeing people, Chen Xing greeted him: "Auntie, are you back?" ”
"Well, you're back too, is Hedwig okay?"
"She's the same as before." Chen Xing said.
Lizzie went upstairs to look at Shahrukh's room and said, "Sure enough, there are so many things left." ”
Shah Rukh told her a few days ago to find a new place to live, and when she left yesterday, she also came back on video, and she saw that there were a lot of things left in the room before coming back.
"I've contacted a second-hand merchant, and you'll follow along to see if there's anything else that's useful."
Second-hand dealers in Europe are different from those in China, and Huaxia is still very resistant to second-hand clothes or bed bedding on the surface, but there are special second-hand stores in Paris. You can even buy a cheap LV bag or a Dior perfume that has only been used a few times.
Aunt Lizzie is also old and doesn't know much about young people.
He was afraid that he would find something valuable, and the merchant would be the next best thing, and if Shah Rukh found it back, he would be in trouble.
Chen Xing said: "There shouldn't be anything left, I asked many times yesterday." ”
The merchants lived in the vicinity, and they came quickly.
When Shah Rukh left, he only took what he wanted, but when he cleared the room, except for the beds and tables that could not be moved, the rest of the piles were about to fill a small pickup truck, and Chen Xing never expected that there would be so many second-hand goods that could be sold for money before this.
Aunt Lizi said to Chen Xing in a 'I just said there would be a lot' tone: "People who have moved have a deep understanding, sometimes they don't know if they don't clean up, and if they clean up a little, there will definitely be more things." ”
But so many things didn't sell for a few bucks.
Aunt Lizi came back with the money, sighed and said, "It's already school, it's not good to find someone to live in, Chen, do you want your neighbor to be a beauty or a man?" ”
1: Beauty
2: Man
Is this a multiple-choice question? If it's a man, you should choose 1.
Chen Xing didn't choose anyone, and took this room with the reason that he wanted a study.
"You want a study? It's okay, it's good that someone uses it anyway, otherwise there is a room that is always empty, and many things are easy to break. ”
She won't take Chen Xing's money.
Chen Xing is not polite, sometimes politeness hurts the relationship.
Lizi came back to Paris to deal with the affairs of this room, and now that she has finished dealing with it, she has to take a friend's car back to the farm, and when she waited for someone halfway, she also cooked a meal for Chen Xing and them.
She invited Chen Xing, who had not yet been to the farm, to be a guest.
Chen Xing gladly accepted.
