The next day, many media reported on the CCTV disaster relief party. A comprehensive and detailed introduction of the initiators of the disaster relief party, the participating star lineup, the content of the party and the achievements made. In addition to the very bright figures of the amount of donations and the earthquake relief propaganda films that tell very touching stories of disaster relief, there is also a big attraction that surpasses the super luxury star lineup of the Spring Festival Gala. Many film and television singers who usually take the lead have gathered in one program and willingly performed a chorus with everyone.

In this ultra-luxurious star lineup, the most brilliant and impressive thing is not a national treasure-level old artist, nor a big-name film and television superstar who donated millions of dollars again on the spot, but Xiao Yao, a young man who is only 20 years old. Therefore, in the follow-up media reports, Xiao Yao also became the star who was named and mentioned by the media the most times in this party. Basically, when all the media reported on this CCTV disaster relief party, they inevitably mentioned Xiao Yao's deeds in the disaster area introduced by the host at the party and Xiao Yao's own performance at the party.

There are more than 200 first-line big-name stars in the CCTV disaster relief party, whether it is fame or status, let alone Xiao Yao, even Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying are inconspicuous in that group of people, but not only did Xiao Yao have a chance to perform at the party alone, but the media basically focused on Xiao Yao when they reported on the stars at the party. If you haven't seen this party, many people will think it's incredible, but after watching the party, it will feel very natural.

So, Xiao Yao naturally became popular again. After the broadcast of the disaster relief party, various media interviews, TV program interviews, and invitations to various commercial endorsements and performances also came again. Xiao Yao hadn't experienced this kind of battle before, and it wasn't once or twice that he made this kind of explosive movement. With Xiao Yao's urine and consistent style, he was not interested in taking advantage of the fire to give interviews and participate in commercial performances, and Xiao Yao basically refused those invitations, but not all, because one of the invitations came from a very special unit, which also aroused Xiao Yao's great interest.

"What? Xinhua News Agency invited me to the headquarters in Yanjing for an interview?" Xiao Yao was extremely surprised when he heard the news from Fang Yi's mouth. The Xinhua News Agency in this world, like the previous life, is the national news agency of China, the statutory news regulator, and can be called the mouthpiece of the state.

"Of course, it's about your photography. Fang still smiled, "The photos of the rescue scene that you took out at the disaster relief party are no worse than those taken by the photojournalists sent by Xinhua News Agency to cover the earthquake disaster, isn't it normal for them to want to talk to you?"

"There are two things they want to talk to you about this time. Fang still obviously communicated with the other party in advance, and continued, "The first thing is that Huaxia Photo Agency, a directly affiliated enterprise under Xinhua News Agency, wants to include the photos you took at the earthquake rescue site this time, and needs to obtain your authorization." The second is that their photojournalism wants to hire you as their photojournalist. ”

"The first thing is fine, they use it if they want it, and the licensing thing is very simple. Xiao Yao said, "But the second thing, I'm a singer majoring in acting, and they asked me to change careers to become a journalist?

"It's not impossible. Fang still said, "Aren't you a photojournalist for National Geographic? Why can't you be a reporter? Of course, considering your status, they don't want you to be a full-time reporter in the establishment, but they invite you to be a special photojournalist in an external way." They will not assign you a specific interview task, but if you encounter an emergency similar to this earthquake event in the future, and you happen to be present, they hope that you can send them first-hand pictures and reports of the scene as soon as possible, instead of giving the photos to foreign media to do news reports first. ”

"It turned out that they were stimulated by this. Xiao Yao smiled, "If you don't assign me specific tasks, just let me be a "supernumerary", it's not that it can't be discussed." ”

In fact, Xiao Yao's current cooperative relationship with those two foreign media is also like this. They gave Xiao Yao relevant documents to facilitate his movements, but they did not assign him specific work tasks, nor did they give him a fixed salary, and only when Xiao Yao had good photographic works for them and were adopted by them, they would pay them according to the situation.

Chen Xuan is a photographer, and he has a lot of photojournalist and contracted photographer credentials. He doesn't have financial worries, he doesn't care about treatment, he cares about bringing a lot of convenience to himself and at the same time having full freedom, and he won't tie himself up. His status as a photojournalist and contracted photographer is also a form of collaboration with a high degree of freedom. Although Xiao Yao is not a full-time photographer, his situation is similar to Chen Xuan, and he even doesn't want to be tied up than Chen Xuan, so when Chen Xuan helped Xiao Yao get those two documents, he also adopted this kind of cooperation.

"But I'm just a photographer at most, and a special photojournalist for Xinhua News Agency has to be at least a reporter, right? Xinhua News Agency is a state unit, and it is not a business magazine like National Geographic, so Chen Xuan gave me a photojournalist certificate as soon as he said it. Xiao Yao continued.

The so-called special correspondent refers to a person who does not belong to the editorial department, but is a person outside the office or outside Taiwan, who should be asked to complete certain reporting tasks for newspapers, news agencies, radio and television stations. They do not have an establishment in the news unit, nor do they receive the salary of the news unit, and they are personnel of other units hired by the news unit for special news gathering and writing tasks for a certain item, industry, region, etc. In China, this kind of external special correspondent is generally also a full-time reporter of other news units.

"I don't know much about that. Fang still shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe they will let you take a qualification certificate first, and then make an exception to send you a press card, maybe they don't hire you as a special photojournalist, but just ask you to be a special photographer, specifically, it depends on the results of your interview." ”

"Okay, let's talk about it. Xiao Yao nodded with interest.

Xinhua News Agency is the largest news organization in China, even if it is only a special photographer, it is also a documentary, which will be able to bring great convenience to himself to enter some specific areas, Xiao Yao is naturally very willing. For Xiao Yao, the exam is not a problem at all, even if it is to take the journalist qualification certificate, there is no problem at all, but the real press card needs to be applied for by the unit after working in a regular news unit for more than one year after obtaining the practitioner qualification certificate.

Although Xinhua News Agency takes a fancy to Xiao Yao inevitably because Xiao Yao is a star, but in this kind of matter, whether it is Xiao Yao or Fang Yi, they all feel that Xiao Yao is not suitable to talk to others as a star. And this kind of decision-making has always been Xiao Yao's own decision, so after Fang still helped Xiao Yao contact the time of meeting, Xiao Yao did not take Fang still and Pei Minyi, and appeared alone in the headquarters building of Xinhua News Agency at the appointed time.

After registering at the doorman and explaining the purpose of his visit, a young man soon came out and led Xiao Yao in.

Although Xiao Yao didn't regard himself as a star, the level of several leaders who met with Xiao Yao this time was quite high. In a reception room, Xiao Yao was interviewed by four big leaders: vice president and deputy editor-in-chief of Xinhua News Agency, editor-in-chief of the news photography editorial department, and president of Huaxia Photo Agency, a directly subordinate enterprise below.

Generally speaking, hiring a special photographer does not need to be so aggressive. But Xiao Yao was a brave and courageous young man who fought knife-wielding gangsters on the subway back then, drumming the folk orchestra to carry forward the traditional Chinese folk music culture, and gave the army art troupe ten songs for free in one go, and several songs such as "The Great Wall" and "Descendants of the Dragon" also greatly promoted the country's national spiritual inheritance. Although it was not said in the media, his name has already reached the ears of many senior leaders.

At the CCTV disaster relief party initiated by multiple government departments and watched by big leaders, the program team had so much courage to arrange for the host to conduct such a long on-site interview with Xiao Yao, a young newcomer in the entertainment industry, when so many veteran artists and big-name stars gathered, giving him the opportunity to have a single program, and he also designed the stage performance by himself. In addition to what Xiao Yao did in the disaster area, this aspect is also an aspect considered by the program team.

Now that Xiao Yao has been invited to discuss photo licensing and special photographers or reporters, it stands to reason that it is enough for the editor-in-chief of the news photography editorial department and the president of "Huaxia Photo Agency" to come forward, but the two bigwigs of the vice president and deputy editor-in-chief heard that Xiao Yao was coming, and they were also curious to come and take a look.

The two bigwigs came to watch, and after shaking hands with Xiao Yao, they sat aside. Related matters are still discussed with Xiao Yao by the two bosses of relevant departments.

The first thing to talk about is the fact that the photo agency collects photos. It's easy to talk about, although Xiao Yao also does commercial photography projects, his main source of income is not by selling photos. All the photos he took at the scene of the earthquake-stricken area are all the photos he took at the earthquake-stricken area, which can be regarded as a kind of public welfare photographic works. The photo agency only needs the right to use the photos, and does not involve Xiao Yao's authorship and ownership, so Xiao Yao is very generous and gives the authorization for free.

The matter of photography is quickly discussed, and then it is time to talk about the identity of the photographer or even the photojournalist. Although this matter was brought up by Xinhua News Agency on its own initiative, and Xiao Yao was also very interested, whether it was a special photographer or a special photojournalist, it was not something that could be decided by simply taking a picture of his head.

For a state unit like the Xinhua News Agency, even this kind of special non-staff personnel cannot be decided casually. Even if it is a person registered with the big guy above, the investigation and assessment that should be done still have to be done.

Although there is no political review or anything, a basic background check still needs to be done. Xiao Yao's grandparents and grandchildren are all stars for three generations, his grandfather is an old artist close to the national treasure level, his father is the king of the music world without any bad records, his biological mother is an orphan, his stepmother is a well-known actor, and his stepmother's parents are innocent intellectuals, these are not difficult to check, and naturally there is no problem.

In addition to family background, another aspect that needs to be investigated and understood is Xiao Yao's ability. They don't look for special photographers and journalists, they don't look for mascots. Although they will not arrange the work specifically, once something happens, they still hope that Xiao Yao can really play a role.

The photos that were shown at the disaster relief party were undoubtedly of a high standard, but just because you were able to perform at a high level this time does not mean that you will be able to perform at a high level every time. What they need is a professional photographer who can consistently perform at a high level. Since Xiao Yao broke the news that he had been publishing photographic works under the YS signature since he was nine years old, the club also specially collected and sorted out all the photographic works signed by YS and carefully evaluated. From those works, we can basically see the improvement and development of this YS's photography level, probably since Xiao Yao was in middle school, he can basically reach the level of a professional photographer.

These are all surveys that are done in the early stages. With the results of these investigations, the company will put forward the idea of hiring Xiao Yao as a special photographer and it will be approved at the meeting, but to really make a decision, it still needs to be through some face-to-face contact.

The president of the photo agency talks about the photo, and the editor-in-chief of the news photo editorial department talks about the photojournalism. The editor-in-chief, Zeng Kexi, is also a photojournalist and is very proficient in photography, so it is natural for him to lead the topic to photography when he speaks. The former photojournalism award-winning veteran of a war correspondent, Mr. Zeng, who prefers current affairs photography over fashion photography. So in the process of chatting, I also unconsciously brought up big topics such as the world pattern.

What everyone didn't expect was that Xiao Yao not only talked to Editor-in-Chief Zeng about photographic equipment and photography technology, but also talked about this old-timer who was over half a hundred years old, even when he talked about the current world situation, he actually had something to say. Especially in the relatively chaotic African region, which countries and regions are relatively safe, which places are more dangerous, which governments are more pro-China, and which governments are not very good at dealing with China, Xiao Yao is also a treasure.

Of course, this is also because the people of Xinhua News Agency do not know that Xiao Yao's photography teacher has also worked as a war correspondent. Chen Xuan took Xiao Yao to Africa, although he did not unreliable take Xiao Yao to dangerous war areas, and they all stayed in relatively safe and distant places from war, but he also told Xiao Yao in detail about the situation there and the forces of all parties at that time. Xiao Yao was also very interested in those places at that time, although he didn't run to those places to die, he also maintained his attention to those places.

After talking like this, the four people present were all impressed by Xiao Yao, the young man. If it weren't for Xiao Yao's status as a star, and he said that he would not give up his development in the entertainment industry, everyone would want to officially recruit this young man who had shown good skills in the disaster area into the agency, train him as a formal reporter and send him to the Africa branch in Kenya.

But even if you can't make him an official Xinhua News Agency reporter, there is no obstacle to hiring him as a special photographer.

At this time, Xiao Yao also took advantage of the situation to put forward a request for a special photojournalist. When the editor-in-chief Zeng put forward these rigid requirements, Xiao Yao immediately said that there was no problem in taking the qualification certificate, but he really couldn't meet the conditions for one year of practice.

At this time, the deputy editor-in-chief of Xinhua News Agency, who seemed to be very interested in being a reporter, came forward to test Xiao Yao's basic questions about several journalism majors. These questions are not too difficult, I have been prepared for a long time, and Xiao Yao, who has chewed a few basic journalism books before coming, answered them without any burden.

So the deputy editor-in-chief, who was impressed by Xiao Yao's performance, made a decision: Now, Xinhua News Agency can only give Xiao Yao the identity of a special photographer first. Xiao Yao obtained his qualification as an editor and reporter as soon as possible, and then gave them six news stories within a year that were enough to appear in their newspapers. If it can be completed, then a year later, they Xinhua News Agency will be responsible for helping Xiao Yao apply for a press card and hire him as a special photojournalist.

Regarding the conditions proposed by the deputy editor-in-chief, Xiao Yao confidently agreed.
