Chapter 33 Preparations for Shooting

"It's exciting!" Chen Yang walked onto the court while clapping. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Behind him, a group of members of the national team followed.

"Congratulations on winning the national team. Chen Yang stood in front of Xiao Yao, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled.

"The main thing is that Guo Qi gave me six points, if I don't give up points, I definitely can't beat him. Xiao Yao said honestly, "But I didn't expect to score three goals and score four points in front of basketball players." There are a lot of accidents in this, and I am also lucky, such as Guo Qi's last goal did not score. ”

"Of course, there is an element of luck, if you really win Guo Qi completely by relying on your own basketball skills, we should recruit you into the basketball national team training. Isn't it enough for you to enter the Olympiad national team training camp once, and you still want to come to the basketball national team for training once?" Chen Yang glanced at Xiao Yao amusedly.

"I know my level and I know it's impossible. Xiao Yao smiled and scratched his head.

"If you had promised me basketball school when you were five years old, it would have been possible now. Chen Yang said.

"Brother Yang, are you careful? I rejected you so once, is it necessary to mention it so often?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Luck also requires a certain amount of strength as a foundation. Xu Li also came over, patted Xiao Yao and said, "Although there is indeed a gap between your strength and that of professional players, you are already playing very well among amateur players." It's a shame that you didn't go to "Challenge the Champion", otherwise my brother's variety show debut would have ended in a loss. ”

In addition to Chen Yang and Xu Li, the rest of the national team members immediately surrounded Guo Qi who lost the game after walking on the court, and I don't know if everyone teased or comforted Guo Qi, not long after, Guo Qi and the rest of the team also walked to Chen Yang, Xu Li and Xiao Yao.

"What do you think of Xiao Yao's performance just now?" Chen Yang looked at everyone and asked.

"Very good!"

"Very good!"

"Unexpected!

Everyone replied unevenly, although the time of the answer was not uniform, but the content was almost the same, and they all expressed their approval of Xiao Yao's performance against Guo Qi just now.

"So that means that everyone recognizes Xiao Yao as everyone's promotional photo shooting photographer?" Chen Yang asked again.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Xiao Yao directly informed: "The shooting time is from eight to ten o'clock in the evening from Monday to Friday next year, and the location is in a studio about half an hour's drive away from the Taihe Hotel where everyone is staying." It is expected that the shooting of three people will be completed every day, and I will send the specific plan to Brother Yang, and Brother Yang will notify everyone. ”

"OK!" everyone nodded their heads to indicate that there was no problem.

"Alright, lads, it's time for the next training program when the break is over. At this time, head coach Alex Jefferson also walked over and shouted to the players.

Glancing at Xiao Yao, Alex Jefferson said to Chen Yang and Xiao Yao again: "Your business is over, right?

"Ok, AJ, I'll send him out first, and then I'll come back and continue my work. Chen Yang said to the head coach. He is the technical director of the team and he should be on the sidelines to coach the players during training. Because of Xiao Yao's matter, Chen Yang specially asked Jefferson for leave today.

"Goodbye, Mr. Jefferson. Xiao Yao politely greeted the head coach, and followed Chen Yang to the outside of the stadium.

Out of the basketball center, Xiao Yao thanked Chen Yang again and left directly by taxi, and Chen Yang also turned around and went back to the stadium to guide the players to train.

After getting the subjects of the shoot, that is, the models, Xiao Yao was the most important part of the preparation work for the shooting project. In addition, Xiao Yao has other preparations to do.

The location for the shooting was chosen a long time ago. The studio was in the same creative area where the rehearsal room of the Dawn Dance Team was located. When Xiao Yao went to learn to dance with the people of the Dawn Dance Troupe, he would also take a stroll around the park during his break, and he found this studio, and he went in to play a few times. This studio can fully meet Xiao Yao's shooting requirements in terms of space size and hardware equipment, so Xiao Yao has already negotiated the rental through Qi Jia Studio and the photography studio.

Since I am not very familiar with the domestic photography circle, I don't know much about the lighting engineers, sound engineers, set designers, makeup artists, stylists and other staff who do auxiliary work in shooting activities. Xiao Yao had no choice but to ask Zhang Yunxing and Hong Andong, two model company owners who are more familiar with the domestic fashion circle, to recommend some candidates to him.

Long before the Internet and the media exposed Xiao Yao's identity as a photographer, Nie Yao told the two bosses the news she learned when she participated in the show. Chen Xuan was invited by Zhang Yunxing back then, and Xiao Yao and Chen Xuan were able to meet because of the modeling company. And Xiao Yao's performance when he was Chen Xuan's photography assistant, the people in the company who participated in the shooting that year were all visible, and everyone could also see Chen Xuan's satisfaction and liking for Xiao Yao. Therefore, the fact that Xiao Yao is Chen Xuan's student is no one in the modeling agency doubts it.

However, Xiao Yao actually concealed his identity as a photographer from the modeling agency, especially the two bosses, and both bosses verbally expressed their dissatisfaction to Xiao Yao, and jokingly expressed to Xiao Yao that their hearts were hurt. But when Xiao Yao found the two of them to help, the two agreed without hesitation.

As for Xiao Yao, who only had staff and did not ask for models, the two bosses expressed certain doubts.

"You just need the staff, don't you need us to recommend some models for you?" Hong Anton asked Xiao Yaodao.

"No, the model has already been found. Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head.

"Have you found a good model? Which model are you looking for? Why don't you look for a model from our own company?" Zhang Yunxing also said nervously, "There is a saying that fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and none of the hundreds of models in our company meet your requirements?"

"The subjects I photographed this time were the players of the national basketball team. Xiao Yao explained, "I don't shoot professional models, so I didn't pick people from our company." ”

I heard that the subject was an athlete rather than a professional model, and the hearts of the two were also a little balanced, but thinking that Xiao Yao's first shooting project in China actually chose a relatively difficult non-professional model shooting project, the two couldn't help but admire Xiao Yao's courage.

Xiao Yao asked for complete control of the entire project, so the two candidates recommended to him also tried to choose some relatively unknown but solid technical candidates. Among these people, Xiao Yao had to put some effort into picking out what he thought was suitable.

After the venue, equipment, and staff are all done, one of the biggest problems that Xiao Yao still needs to solve is clothing.

The national team has a designated clothing sponsor. Whether it is a game or training, the players of the national team must wear the competition clothes or sportswear provided by the clothing brand, but because the clothing brand is a specialized sports brand, it does not provide formal wear, and it has not signed a sponsorship agreement with the national team in terms of formal wear, so when Xiao Yao shoots promotional photos of formal wear, there is still a lot of room for clothing choice.

When it comes to solving the problem of clothing, it can actually be quite simple. With Xiao Yao's current controversy in the media and on the Internet because of his identity as a photographer, as long as he reveals the news of his upcoming shooting project to the marketing directors of those fashion brands, I believe that many fashion clothing brands will soon come to the door and provide clothes for him to choose from.

Xiao Yao did not wait for the clothing brand to take the initiative to come to the door, but found the door himself.

Although they are all formal photos, Xiao Yao has no intention of letting everyone wear the same clothes. He specially matched each basketball player with clothes that he saw fit. The basketball team is composed of fifteen players, and Xiao Yao also picked a total of fifteen sets of clothing, which belong to six different clothing brands.

Since the body of the basketball players is quite different from ordinary people, 12 of these 15 sets of costumes need to be customized. Xiao Yao has detailed data on the body of the basketball players in his hand, and it is not very difficult to order. In terms of time, it is generally enough to order a set of clothes in about three days, and now there are five days left before next week's shooting, so there is naturally no problem. As for the price, I heard that Xiao Yao used it as a photographer to take promotional photos for the players of the national men's basketball team, but this opportunity may not be available, how can those brands collect money.

Traditionally, these brands will send their own personnel to participate in the overall shooting program as brand representatives. On the one hand, it is to assist the costumers and stylists on the scene to take care of their own brand of clothing, after all, they are most familiar with their things. Another aspect is to assist the communication between the project leader, that is, the photographer Xiao Yao, and his own company, if there is something temporary on the shooting site, need to change clothes, accessories or even temporarily modify some small details, these brand representatives will give feedback to the company, and make corresponding arrangements according to the company's response.

As for Xiao Yao, in addition to the above two aspects, there is another attraction to these brands: this is a great opportunity to see with your own eyes what Xiao Yao looks like when he shoots live. For this photographer, who is said to be famous abroad before the age of seventeen, the domestic fashion circle is full of curiosity about him. In the past, they didn't see his foreign shooting projects, but now it is rare for him to have shooting projects in China, and everyone does not want to miss the opportunity to see them with their own eyes.

Therefore, three of the six brands are more curious, and the director-level figures who happen to be idle and panicked all condescend to serve as the brand representatives of Xiao Yao's shooting project in person. The representatives of the other three brands, although they are not at the director level in the company, their level in the company is also higher than the level and position of the company's usual personnel in other shooting projects.

In this case, Xiao Yao doesn't care. Anyway, his photography skills have been exchanged for the shutter number for so many years, and he is not afraid of others looking at it. The higher the level of the brand, the more convenient it is to communicate and make decisions on the spot, and he would rather have the higher the level of the brand representative, the better.
