Chapter 215 Three Hundred Months of Wind and Love(1/2)
There are a lot of flowers planted in this garden, and May and June are the day when a large number of flowers bloom. The flowers of different colors add a lot of romantic colors to the garden. When walking in such a garden, Chen Xing often sees couples kissing.
Kissing is so common in France.
Smelling the refreshing fragrance of flowers, Chen Xing also wanted to hold something, but he could only hold himself now.
Hum!
To be honest, although I don’t know what the difference between Monet’s aesthetic a hundred years ago and the present, in Chen Xing’s opinion, the design of this garden is not magnificent. If the types of these flowers are not included, it is probably the same level as the garden behind Wenshu Temple in Rongcheng.
What is said on the Internet that beauty becomes a legend, so beautiful that it is healing... There is no need to be so praised.
At least in China, there are countless beautiful gardens.
But the types of flowers are really incomparable.
People in Xijiang like to grow flowers and plant flowers. During the days of Chen Xing's Western Xinjiang, he doubled the flowers he knew in his knowledge base, but Chen Xing still had many flowers that could not be named when he came to Monet's garden.
It is estimated that except for professionals, few people can recognize all the flowers in Monet Gardens.
In their time, Monet was one of the few painters who had enjoyed the fun of making money while he was alive. He used the money he sold paintings to buy the huge manor, and then spent most of the money he earned to transform the yard.
He bought plants from Egypt, Africa, Asia and other places to plant them, and took care of them personally, watching the flowers grow up.
Some people say that this is Monet's source of inspiration, and Chen Xing highly recognizes this. It is difficult for an artist to live in such an environment without the idea of creating.
When he arrived at the water garden, Chen Xing felt that this place looked more like a garden.
Read the introduction carefully.
Oh, Japanese style, isn’t that a variant Tang style?
The teacher of photography history said that European photography art was impacted by the island country Ukiyo-e in the 19th century. Many photographers' styles were in the mood of island countries at that time, and the gentle style gradually emerged in the international art world.
Even if photography is the case, the field of painting will be even more affected.
Painters like Van Gogh, Monet and others have a deep study of island art. When they come to Monet’s house, they will see a large number of Ukiyo-e paintings he collected on the wall.
Speaking of Monet’s house, there is another thing that surprised Chen Xing.
A bearded painter, his room was pink and blue, bright yellow, and he was decorated with a lot of florals. The princess's room was just like that. It seems that Monet also has a girlish heart.
After walking out of Monet's garden, Chen Xing could have fulfilled his wish.
Like most attractions, Monet's Garden is not a place that will make you amazed now. Just like the famous former residence of Li Bai and Du Fu's Thatched Cottage, it has become a place for fans of later generations to check in and worship.
Chen Xing was already very satisfied if he could come here, see where Monet sat down to draw water lilies, and see the scenery in the pond as in his paintings.
Compared to this manor, he is now more concerned about the town outside.
A garden that can be seen everywhere in China and a small town full of exotic styles. Are you a tourist who would you choose?
Then you must choose a stylish town.
Who knows whether to meet the wind or love first?
……………………
Chen Xing left Paris on Friday. 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 version, and also using Chen Xing's works as the inner page on the Chinese version, and introducing Chen Xing's works as the inner page on the Chinese version. He gave a good introduction to Chen Xing, a commercial photographer who became popular in France.
As soon as the Hong Kong version of Elle was released, it was bought by many people who paid attention to fashion. "Ele" is one of the world's five largest women's fashion magazines, and is surrounded by a large number of 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 a fan to appreciate the trendy fashion, but to absorb elements and inspiration from it, so that her design can shine with new light.
On the first day of Elle's release, four "elle" from different regions were placed on their desks by assistants.
Four versions: Britain, France, Denmark, and China.
The work on his hands could not be completed for a while, Wu Xiangling decided to relax and read the magazine first.
She asked her assistant while turning the page: "Have you seen this issue of Elle? Are there any interesting fashions?"
"I don't have time to watch it yet."
The season has changed, and the whole company is busy all the time. She, an assistant, can go to read books as soon as possible. If you really answer, the boss might know when you will definitely go fishing.
Wu Xiangling didn't think so much, she just asked casually.
Her attention was attracted by the cover of the French version.
Isn’t this the Hong Kong style?
The French don't know this style, but can Hong Kong people not know it? They used this style to shoot works, whether it was photos or movies thirty or even twenty years ago.
However, this style gradually declined with the rise of mainland China.
He opened the French version of the magazine and there was indeed a sentence in it introducing the photographer on the cover - (The cover comes from a talented photographer who lives in France and China, Chen Xing. His high-end retro photography is popular in France and has cooperated with many celebrities.)
High-end retro photography?
She looked at the cover taken by Chen Xing carefully. On the cover, Sophie Marceau was mature and confident, and had a kind of confident style that I could even stand up when the sky fell.
It is indeed different from the traditional Hong Kong style, but it is clearly a Chinese photographer who absorbs Hong Kong style things, but he doesn't promote it at all for Hong Kong Island? Such people are simply stingy...
Actually, it's a pity.
Chen Xing hasn't received an interview from Elle yet. The high-end retro style is just the name given to Chen Xing'an by the magazine.
She quickly finished reading the French version.
While watching the Hong Kong version, Wu Xiangling saw Chen Xing's name and more photography works. The people in it were different. The last page of this group of works introduced Chen Xing in detail and determined the style.
[Chan Xing, a 20-year-old Chinese photographer who studied at the Ensad, Paris, France, is currently making his mark in Paris. He is born from the Hong Kong style and integrates the unique freehand style of Chen Xing's works, forming such a work full of reality and freehand style. He combines two different styles together to bridge 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 industry, and have become a banner among the new generation of photographers in China.]
There is also a picture of Chen Xing holding a trophy behind.

She looked at these works over and over again.
He is 20 years old.
It's amazing that all the works I shot can be on the cover of Elle. When I was 20 years old, I was just holding this magazine and was full of fantasy. And I was also a photographer in China.
Are there any opportunities for cooperation?
Unfortunately, I don’t know how much the invitation price of Elle Magazine for Chen Xing is.
"Zhou Zhou." She shouted
The assistant sitting outside looked over and said:
"You first look at Elle's Hong Kong Island Magazine. Follow the photographer Chen Xing in it, find his contact information to see if he can be invited to attend our fashion conference next month."
After the assistant went back to work, Wu Xiangling did not continue to work. Instead, she looked at Chen Xing's winning photos for a long time.
Very familiar.
Have you seen it somewhere before?
……………………
Chen Xing was having a meal at a restaurant called baudy. I heard that Monet often eats here, and the decoration style here is also the same as the beginning of the 20th century, with a very old look, with faded photo frames, shuttling clocks, dim chandeliers, and tables that seem to be faded.
But as a restaurant, it's very clean.
In Chen Xing's opinion, a carefully crafted and loving small restaurant is definitely worth shooting than a luxurious and gorgeous restaurant.
The charge is also OK, not as expensive as expected. A set meal costs less than 30 euros. To be precise, 29.9 euros were selected for the main dish with French oil-sealed duck legs. He never expected it to be so delicious before he was officially eaten.
He recorded a video for himself with his camera.
When he went back to cut, he must highly recommend this dish to his fans. It was really delicious!
During lunch, Chen Xing took out his cell phone and played for a while.
Recently, more and more calls have been made, and Chen Xing turned on the calls from all strangers.
If you really look for your own, you can find Chen Xing's photography website, which has his email address on it. Chen Xing will check out the email address every night, and occasionally someone will use the works on the website.
[In view of this overall environment, this site may be closed at any time. Please move to the permanent source replacement app, huanyuanapp as soon as possible]
There are people at home and abroad, and the number has increased significantly in the past two weeks.
Chen Xing was not very anxious about this.
It has just been named in the photography and fashion industry, nothing is wrong. Its impact on Chen Xing's travel is even worse than the popular video I made last time for no reason.
I wrote so well, only a few hundred thousand people read the travel notes.
Send oral videos, and play them for millions... outrageous!
While eating, Chen Xing saw an interesting person, a teenage boy running around in the town with a bamboo fish basket on his waist.
Chen Xing met him many times while traveling in the town.
His butt ran in with dust, as if he had fallen, but he didn't care at all. He came in and said, "Dad, I'm hungry!"
A woman came over and said, "Have you fallen again? Tell you not to run around, how good it is to stay at home, and you can help your father do things. He is almost overwhelmed."
To be continued...
