Chapter 739: Loose Meal
After the old principal's speech, the graduation ceremony officially ended.
Next, there will be group graduation photos for each department and class. After leaving the auditorium, the graduates were separated by major.
When the teachers and students of the acting department arrived at the photo spot, they first took a group photo of the whole department and the class, and then they were free to move separately.
Although Xiao Yao is a photographer, he is a graduate today, and he is definitely not suitable to be a photographer. Like Yandian, Shen Opera also has a photography department, and there is no shortage of photographers. took a group graduation photo, and the department of Shen Opera also pulled the strong men of the junior students of the photography department.
However, the number of students in the photography department is limited, and it is good to catch one in a major. The students of the Department of Photography took group photos of the class and the whole department, and after the group photos, the students of the Department of Acting took pictures of each other or their relatives and friends.
When Zhao Rui graduated last year, Xiao Yao was pulled by Zhao Rui to be an exclusive photographer, specializing in helping Zhao Rui and his classmates take photos. Today, Xiao Yao graduated, and it was incumbent on Zhao Rui to be Xiao Yao's photographer, but Xiao Yao did not ask Zhao Rui to help him take pictures, on the grounds that Zhao Rui's photography skills were relatively average.
Among the group of people who came to attend the graduation ceremony today, in addition to Xiao Yao, a professional photographer, the best photography technique is Lin Qisan, who has rich experience in modeling and has been in Yin Xi's studio for a long time. But Lin Qisan is also a graduate today, and he also wants to take a photo with his classmates, so the task of helping Xiao Yao take pictures was taken over by Ye Jiaying.
When Xiao Yao first started to contact and learn photography when he was a child, the first free exclusive practice model and the object of Xiao Yao's most photos was his mother Ye Jiaying. Ye Jiaying has been a photography model for Xiao Yao since she was eight years old, and after so many years, her own photography level is also quite good. Except for her and Xiao Siqi who took a family photo with Xiao Yao, who was wearing a bachelor's uniform, and asked Lin Qisan to help take a group photo, Ye Jiaying followed Xiao Yao to take pictures at other times.
Even if there is no TV drama project that is full of graduates of Shen Opera, Xiao Yao's popularity in Shen Opera is not bad. After adding that project, Xiao Yao's popularity is even higher. During the free time to take pictures, there were many students from the department and the external department who specially found them to take photos with Xiao Yao. For these students who came to take a group photo, Xiao Yao did not refuse, so in the entire performance department, Xiao Yao was the last student to return the bachelor's uniform after taking a photo, and he almost exceeded the latest time for returning the bachelor's uniform stipulated by the school.
The latest time for returning the bachelor's uniform is 12 noon. In other words, the entire graduation ceremony and the photo shoot afterwards were all completed by noon. Another very important event today is the family-wide casual meal. However, the casual meals are all in the evening, so the graduates have a full afternoon to spare.
During this time, some people choose to go back to the dormitory to rest and recharge for the evening meal, and some people who can't stay idle call friends to find someone to hang out with.
Most of the TV drama crew of the young film and television company are graduates of this year's Shenju. The graduation ceremony is a very important ceremony, and it only takes one day, so today the whole crew is on vacation and stops work, and everyone comes to attend the graduation ceremony. Xu Liang, Qin Hao and others have been filming in the crew for more than a month, and today is finally on vacation, so naturally they don't want to stay in the dormitory, so they want to organize some classmates to go out to play.
Xiao Yao was a student when he was in school. He didn't think of himself as a star, and other classmates didn't have a sense of distance from him. Qin Hao and Xu Liang are Xiao Yao's former roommates and have a good relationship, so they don't treat him as their boss at this time, so they want to invite Xiao Yao, Lin Qisan and others to go together. Lin Qisan agreed, but Xiao Yao refused because he had something to do in the afternoon.
On the afternoon of attending Zhao Rui's graduation ceremony at Yandian last year, Xiao Yao and Yandian's graduates made a static movie together. This year, Xiao Yao has already opened a TV drama project for the students of Shenxi, and he didn't do a photographer to take pictures today, so naturally he didn't have the same interest in making a static movie as he did in Yandian last year. He didn't go out with Xu Liang, Qin Hao and others because he was going to record.
The graduation ceremony in the morning was attended by the graduates' families. With such an important scene and moment, there must be many parents who deliberately bring DV or use their mobile phones to record certain scenes in the graduation ceremony. The atmosphere of the song performed by Xiao Yao is so hot, it must have been recorded by many people. After the graduation ceremony, someone will definitely post the song performed by Xiao Yao on the Internet, and it is estimated that there will be netizens on the Internet soon shouting for Xiao Yao to release the official version, so Xiao Yao plans to use this afternoon to record the official version of the song.
Recording the official version of the song, Xiao Yao didn't plan to ask those non-professional classmates for help. However, at this time, there are two professionals next to him, Xiao Siqi and Sun Tingting, Xiao Yao is still confident that he can record the official version of this song in one afternoon.
The live version of "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" performed by Xiao Yao at the graduation ceremony does not have a violin soundtrack, but in the official version, Xiao Yao still plans to add the violin soundtrack, and Sun Tingting just has a place to use. Xiao Siqi is a veteran music producer, whether it is recording or playing various instruments, he can also help.
As long as Xiao Yao goes to record, Xiao Siqi and Sun Tingting, two professional musicians, will want to watch as long as they meet, and now Xiao Yao is looking for help, of course, there is no problem. After lunch, Xiao Yao took Xiao Siqi and Sun Tingting, as well as Ye Jiaying, Zhao Rui, and Zhu Zitong, who wanted to be watched, to the recording studio of Yin Xi's studio.
When he opened his own studio, Xiao Yao didn't think about getting a recording studio by himself, but he was rejected by Yin Xi. Yin Xi's recording studio was prepared for Xiao Yao, and he didn't plan to use it for anyone else except him, and it was a pure waste of resources to get another one. The studios of the two are in the same park, not far from each other, and it doesn't take much to walk a few steps, so Xiao Yao's recording studio is still kept on Yin Xi's studio.
The arrangement of the official version of the song is in Xiao Yao's mind. With the help of two professionals, of course, Sun Tingting is only responsible for playing the violin, mainly with Xiao Siqi, a professional producer, who can rotate with Xiao Yao as a musician and recording engineer, Xiao Yao does not have to run at both ends so troublesomely, and the efficiency of this recording is still very fast. Before five o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them recorded the official version of the song.
After the official version was recorded, the three of them were quite satisfied with it. Xiao Yao has long since released a new song and has not released a physical single disc, and usually does not even do publicity, and it will be over as soon as he uploads it to the music website. After Xiao Siqi listened to it, he immediately asked Xiao Yao to upload the song to the music website. However, Xiao Yao looked on the Internet and found that the video of his performance at the graduation ceremony had indeed appeared on the Internet, but it had not yet had much impact, and there were no Weibo and posts calling for him to publish the official version of Weibo and posts in fan gathering places such as Weibo and Tieba, so he temporarily suppressed it and prepared to upload it after the topic was formed on the Internet.
The performance of Shen Opera is a loose version, and it is generally not accompanied by family members. After Xiao Yao recorded the official version of the song, he sat in the recording studio for a while, saw that the time was almost up, and set off alone to the place where the meal was held.
The casual meal of the Shen Opera Performance Department is also a banquet hall of a hotel. Due to the completion of the recording task in advance, although Xiao Yao sat for a while before leaving, the arrival time was still relatively early. When Xiao Yao arrived, there were not many people in the banquet hall, only a few students in charge of organizing had already arrived.
Several classmates discussed something with the hotel service staff, but they didn't find Xiao Yao who arrived at the first time, Xiao Yao didn't bother him, and chose a chair and sat down. The first few people were the class cadres of the three classes, Xiao Yao watched silently for a while, and found that several of them were mainly Wang Zhi in his class, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh that it was indeed a wise move for him to take the initiative to choose Wang Zhi, the oldest classmate, as the class leader.
"Xiao Yao, you're here! Why don't you make a sound?" A classmate who was discussing something with the waiter accidentally looked up and saw Xiao Yao sitting in the hall, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Xiao Yao?" As soon as the classmate shouted, several people in the hall looked over.
There are many celebrities among the students of the Shenju Performance Department, and when the people who organized the casual dinner booked a place, they asked the hotel, and the hotel not only made some confidentiality measures, but also greeted the waiters in this banquet hall a long time ago. Although several waiters were a little excited to see Xiao Yao, they didn't make any moves to chase stars for the sake of their jobs, and still stood in place and continued their work.
"Seeing that you are all busy, I don't want to disturb you!" Xiao Yao waved his hand and smiled, "It's not too late to say hello when you're done!"
"When we're done, you're just sitting there and watching us busy!" Wang Zhi scolded with a smile, and then beckoned to Xiao Yao, "It's just so that you're here, come and help!"
"Okay, what do you need me to do?" Of course, Xiao Yao didn't mind helping, and when he heard this, he got up and walked over to Wang Zhi.
"I'm ordering this!" Wang Zhi said, "This is the last time we have a department-wide gathering, so we took out all the remaining class fees from the three classes and prepared to spend all of them on this casual meal." But now there is a problem, there must be a lot of big drinks tonight, if you overspend, it is not good to find everyone to collect money, if you don't spend it, the extra money will not have a chance to be returned to everyone. You have a good brain, you help you calculate, let's order according to the amount of class fee in our hand, and try to spend it as much as possible. ”
"This, can't the waiter help with the calculation?" Xiao Yao looked at the waiter on the side, and said to Wang Zhi with a smile, "Just ask the waiter to come over and take a calculator and count while calculating!"
"Take the calculator to order?" said the waiter on the side, with three black lines hanging down his head.
"Uh~" Wang Zhi was stunned, and then nodded, "yes, it doesn't seem to say that you can't do this!"
"Huh?" the waiter exclaimed in surprise.
"No!" Wang Zhi then shook his head again, "But there are still drinks! After a while, who knows how much wine you can drink? This last party can't help but let everyone drink to their heart's content!"
"Understood, you're here to fight local tyrants!" Xiao Yao smiled, "That's it, even if you pick up some good dishes, you don't have to worry about the drinks, let everyone drink openly." If the class fee is not enough, it will be mine!"
"Don't don't, I didn't mean that!" Wang Zhi hurriedly said, "This is our whole family's casual meal, even if you have money, there is no reason for you to treat alone." ”
"Don't be nervous, I'm kidding. Xiao Yao pulled Wang Zhidao, "Just like you said, it's hard to make up for spending too much today, it's hard to return if you spend less, and you can't restrict everyone, this thing is really difficult." It's just more than that, and if it's a little more than that, it's a little bit exceeded, and I'll make up for it. I'm just making up for the difference in work expenses, and I'm not alone. You help me keep it a secret, just don't tell anyone!"
"You've spent all your money, why don't you tell everyone?" Wang Zhi asked.
"Forty or fifty people tonight," Xiao Yao said, "Although they are all in the same department, after all, they are different from each other, the relationship is good and bad, and not everyone in my TV series project has taken advantage of it, so it is inevitable that some people have thoughts about me in their hearts." If you talk about this again, it is inevitable that someone will say strange things, saying that I am showing off my wealth or something!"
"You are rich," Wang Zhi said with a smile, "With your character, are you still afraid of what others say?"
"I'm really not afraid of what people say. Xiao Yao smiled, "But today's occasion is different. Today is our casual dinner, the last dinner of the university, which should leave some good memories for everyone. If someone says something strange about me, people like Lin Qisan, Xu Liang, Qin Hao, and those who have a good relationship with me will inevitably refute it and even quarrel. I don't want people to remember the last time they had a dinner party in college, and there are still people in this memory who are so unpleasant because of my quarrel, so it's better to have more than less!"
"Okay!" Wang Zhi thought for a moment and nodded.
"Then it's settled. Xiao Yao said, "If I don't drink too much, I will be quietly called at the checkout, and if I drink down, find Lin Qisan or Nina and ask them to put it on the mat." Don't worry, this Qian Lin Qisan will definitely come to me, and he will not come out by himself or let Nina come out. ”
"Don't bother. Wang Zhi said with a smile, "I still have this little savings, I'll just put it on myself." You can drink it with confidence, and I'll ask you again tomorrow!"
"Okay!" Xiao Yao didn't say much, turned his head to look at the other side and said, "Then you can order food, and I'll see if they need my help." ”
"Okay, you go and help Bai Lu try the audio, you are a professional in this area!" Wang Zhi pointed to a girl next to the small stage in the banquet hall.
"Bai Lu, have you done it over there? Xiao Yao has helped me to do it, do you want Xiao Yao to come over and help?" Wang Zhi shouted to the girl.
"Yes!" the girl was talking to a man in overalls who looked like a hotel technician, and immediately looked up and replied loudly.
"Xiao Yao, come and try it!" The girl smiled at Xiao Yao and beckoned again, "While the master is here, if there is anything bad, you can ask the master to help adjust it!"
"It's obviously a casual meal, why do you want to get any audio equipment?" Xiao Yao walked over with a wry smile.
"Didn't I prepare it for you?" the girl laughed.
"For me?" Xiao Yao spread his hands and smiled, "I'm here to drink and eat today, I didn't bring anything!"
"Do you think we're going to let you go without a musical instrument?" the girl laughed, "We've seen the video of Yandian's performance department having a meal last year." You participated in other people's casual dinners and sang on stage, and also wrote a song for others on the spot, our own casual dinner, can you come up and express it to us?"
"Cappella?" Xiao Yao laughed.
"There is no objection to the cappella, you want to have musical instruments!" the girl said, "The people in our Shen Opera Performance Department are no worse than Yan Dian's." Yandian is talented, some people play the piano and sing at the casual dinner, and it's not that no one else can sing except you, and someone will bring musical instruments to sing to everyone later. Of course, everyone will still want to hear you sing, and if you need an instrument, there will definitely be one!"
