"Come and see! The big guy who graduated in half a year is coming to school! ”

"Chen from the photography class?"

"It's really ...... him"

There are few people in the school, and communication is frequent, and the news that Professor Nobel helped Chen Xing apply for early graduation has not known when it has been circulating among students.

The fourth and fifth grades are originally the internship stage, and excellent students can indeed graduate early, but in general, they have to wait until the end of the first year.

No matter how good it is, the performance in the first, second and third learning stages is so good that there are also those who graduate directly without going to the fourth grade, and 80% of the students who graduate in this way are now new stars in their respective circles, or have become internationally renowned designers, photographers, painters, etc.

But what about Chen Xing.

It only took half a year to get the graduation certificate.

Do you know why the internship lasts for two years?

This is the method of the school card for those students who do not have a solid foundation for the graduation certificate, and if they do not meet the requirements, they may study for another year after the fifth grade, otherwise they may not be able to get the graduation certificate.

Romanchenko, who had just come out of the school's photography room, looked at Chen Xing with complicated eyes for a long time, and finally hesitated to stop Chen Xing and asked, "Chen, I heard that you have a good relationship with the editor-in-chief of ELLE magazine, can you help us talk to him about something?" ”

"We?"

Chen Xing asked, curious about the extra word.

Romanchenko is the coordinator of their photography class, that is, the grade representative, the prefect in Harry Potter almost means this, and the relationship with Chen Xing has always been good.

"Yes, we, recently ELLE magazine invited a lot of cutting-edge photographers to participate in a competition, and there are many students in our class who can go, but because the semester started too late this year, some students missed the registration time."

"Oh......"

Chen Xing's tone was flat.

It's not that he doesn't want to help, it's a gossip-busted tone.

Romanchenko is a typical Russian girl, although she looks good, but her personality has always been a little masculine, Chen Xing didn't make an appointment a few times, and then gave up, anyway, there are a lot of beautiful girls in the school. Hearing her say something about us this time, Chen Xing thought she was also talking about her boyfriend.

"No way?" Romanchenko frowned.

"Okay, it shouldn't be a difficult thing to do, but I can't help for nothing, you have to treat me to a meal."

Romanchenko breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

The two of them were going in the same direction, and they walked together by the way, and Chen Xing asked the classmates about their work in the studio.

"We've only been here for a week, and we have a lot of work, and everyone handles it well, but it's hard to get out of the circle of commercial photography without special circumstances, and that's probably the biggest problem in studying photography at this school," Romanchenko said. ”

The best profession in Paris is of course design, followed by painting, and finally photography.

Photography here is mostly in the service of fashion.

Only those who have the ability and luck can come out of this circle and become a landscape photographer like Chen Xing who is remembered by countless people.

If you don't have this kind of luck, you should continue to stay in the road of commercial photography and continue to work hard, most of the photographers in the school are also in this circle, and it is not difficult to make money at all. If you mix well, you can be as famous as Senior Dellin, and go abroad to participate in shows or something.

Chen Xing can't help, the photographer can become popular because of various reasons, not one person can solve it.

"What's it like to win the Grand Prize at the Rencontres d'Arles?" Romanchenko asked.

"Fortunately, there is no change in life, and there are more cooperations, but I don't take much business photography now, so it doesn't have much impact."

"I really envy you, I also went to see your works during the photography festival, it was really great, it was my impression of the feeling of China."

"Anyway, now they all call me a Chinese photographer."

Romanchenko's eyes became very emotional, and he sighed and said: "It would be good if the media would call me a Russian photographer, our country also has a lot of cultures and European differences, and I really want to go back to China and take pictures of them after seeing your photos." ”

Chen Xing is about to separate from Romanchenko at this corner, and the two of them will stay here.

He put his hand on the Russian girl's shoulder and said, "Then go and shoot, Westerners don't know much about China or Russia now, even if they don't want to become famous, it always doesn't hurt to put more cultural works of their own country on Twitter." ”

For the Chinese, both Russia and Europe are Western, but in fact, the culture of Russia is completely different from that of Europe.

Those who study art should understand the difference.

Russian art, like Chinese art, is relatively independent.

Romanchenko nodded and asked, "Then do you have any plans after that?" Do you have any ideas after graduation? ”

"What ideas can you have, play around."

The two hugged here and went their separate ways.

Professor Nobel was already waiting in the office with several of his teachers, and Chen Xing answered a few questions after going up, and after several teachers unanimously agreed, he was officially approved to graduate, and took him to meet the vice principal.

For a long time, only the vice principal was here, and the principal was basically just an honor.

This is a middle-aged woman, blonde hair, and a slightly out of shape body, but it can be seen that she was also a very beautiful Western woman when she was young.

"Chen, you should be the most influential student in our school right now, right? Have a seat. ”

Graduating early is not just a stamp on the graduation certificate, Chen Xing was reminded by the professor that he would have to wait here for nearly twenty minutes, and he was not polite to the principal, and sat on the sofa in the office.

The vice principal looked at Chen Xing very kindly, asked him to make a cup of coffee, and then motioned Chen Xing to look at a work on the wall next to him.

"Look over there."

There are not too many decorations in the office for beauty, and there are two or three oil paintings or photos here and there. Here Chen Xing saw the work he had taken to show off his skills with only composition and line, and the response was average among the tourists who came to visit.

"Headmaster......

"Don't worry, I do like this photo of yours more, although it is simple, but doesn't everything in nature rely on light and lines to produce beauty? I don't know much about the art of photography, but I can see that you have a very solid foundation, and I like your work very much. ”

She came from a background in fine arts, and art is a major that carries forward linealism, and their acceptance of line works will be higher than that of ordinary people.

"Remember our school motto?" The headmaster asked again.

Chen Xing nodded and said, "Freedom of education, independent research." ”

"I also approved the documents for your admission to the school, I thought you would have to study for at least two years, but I didn't expect you to win the highest award in the photography industry. After graduation, you should always remember our school motto, maintain your own freedom and independent thinking in the process of learning and creating, and be a fashion leader rather than a follower, I believe you have this ability. ”

"Thank you very much for your attention."

"Well, okay, the graduation certificate will be notified to you to pick it up after a period of time, there is no problem on my side, you can do it yourself."

Chen Xing nodded and walked out of the office.

When no one was around, the vice-principal sighed.

Their motto is freedom of education, independence of research, and the need to guarantee their creative freedom at all times, which is also the same for photography students.

The school didn't say that students had to go for commercial photography and portraits. He even encouraged him to shoot a little more other things, to be a director, to shoot landscapes, just like Nobel has always taught Chen Xing.

However, due to the strength of other majors in the school, this gives photographers from the same school a natural shortcut to the middle of the industry and even to the top commercial photographers without climbing much.

There are too few students like Chen Xing who have their own style and have always insisted on it.

Nobel is right, if there is a chance in the future, it is good to let Chen Xing teach the students of the photography class, if you can change your concept a little, so many talented young photographers in the school, there will always be a few more photographers who go international.

Chen Xing went downstairs with ease.

My studies have finally undergone a wave of renewal, from a student in a prestigious school to a graduate of a prestigious school, and I will not be weaker than others in terms of culture in the future.

France's second, the world's top ten art schools, say a lot of face.

Now that it's time for class, there are a lot fewer students in the garden downstairs, but there are still people who don't attend class reading in the garden, and the pressure of graduation is very great for many people, but when Chen Xing walks by, he will still get a large number of envious eyes.

I graduated from school at the age of 20.

Many people only enter Paris in their twenties to become first-year students, and Chen Xing is too young.

He himself is more famous in the school, if this school also has a list of unknown meanings, but Chen Xing must also be one of them, although he has the appearance of an Oriental, but his face is not as flat as an Oriental, with sharp edges and corners, and he is outstanding in all aspects.

Now because of the early graduation, the whole school has eaten a melon.

October is the best month in many countries, and the plane trees begin to turn yellow during this season, and a gust of wind will take a flock of leaves from the trees and fall on the perennial green grass.

Some students are depicting the scene with cameras or drawing boards.

It was still early, and Hedwig didn't go back to her school, Chen Xing didn't rush to leave after thinking about it, and sat under his favorite tree for the last time.

Not far away was a violin student.

Although it is practice, if you can practice in the most crowded place in the school with such disregard for others, the technique is not much worse.

I don't know what kind of song it is, but it sounds beautiful.

The leaves danced in the wind, as if accompanied by a rustling sound, this environment made Chen Xing feel very comfortable, so he quickly fell asleep here, and waited until two hours later to be woken up by a familiar friend, at this time the leaves fell a lot in front of Chen Xing.

He had the urge to pick up leaves for collection.

But it was still gone.

It's not like he won't come back, and if he has time, he wants to continue to study oil painting in school.

When she returned home, Hedwig had already returned, and she heard the door open in her room, and hurriedly hid a painting she was admiring...... This is a work she painted for the love between the two before, and she hasn't figured out how to give it to Chen Xing.

But it's definitely not just a mediocre delivery.

At least wait until Christmas or Chen Xing's birthday.

Hedwig quickly went downstairs and asked, "Have you eaten it?" ”

"Not yet."

"Then I'll do it for you."

French families often eat bread, but Chen Xing likes to eat French stews, so there are stews at home these days, all kinds of which make Chen Xing addicted. Although the stew here has different seasonings, the texture of the meat and vegetables is no different from the Northeast stew in China.

People who are accustomed to eating Chinese food must also be accustomed to eating stews in France.

Chen Xing will go to Sweden in two days, and Hedwig's feeling about this country is that the name is a bit similar to Switzerland, and then there are snow-capped mountains, because she has heard that skiing in Sweden is very popular, and many Europeans like to go skiing in Sweden whenever they want.

As someone who is about to go to Sweden, Chen Xing doesn't know much about the country either.

Among the Nordic countries, Chen Xing knows more about Iceland and Norway, and Sweden mainly because of the Hasselblad factory.

The camera is as important to the photographer as the sword in the hand of the swordsman, and now there is the world's top Tibetan Sword Villa that wants to make a sword that belongs to you, which swordsman can not be ecstatic?

For this reason, Chen Xing has no problem setting the first stop of his Nordic trip in Sweden.

Three days later.

Chen Xing began to pack his luggage for the long journey.

One of his travel habits is not to bring too many clothes, otherwise the suitcase will be too bloated, and it will be difficult to bring a lens or something with a lot of supporting equipment for cameras, and Chen Xing has the habit of carrying books when traveling, so it is even more inconvenient to bring too many clothes.

Anyway, if you have money, you can't buy it when you go to the place.

The visa was processed online because of the invitation letter from Sweden, and the people from the embassy in Paris personally sent the things over.

Visas are the most difficult to apply for only when you go abroad for the first time.

Some small countries that are known for traveling are fine, such as developed countries such as France and Sweden, and it is a little more difficult for the visa officer to see that you have not had any exit records.

The second time is much simpler.

Unless you go to a Middle Eastern country for the first time, and you want to travel to Amerika for the second time, then 90% of the time you will be beaten back.

Chen Xing didn't let Hedwig drop him off, and the two kissed at the door for two minutes, and then Chen Xing got into the taxi he called - the more he knew Paris, the more he hated the environment outside the safe zone, and the gypsies who were known for their enthusiasm and dance in Chinese education were also a big scourge of Paris.

He didn't want to crowd the subway with so many things, what if he encountered a thief.
