Chapter 153: Static Film
"Hehe, you old Hong," Zhang Yunxing smiled and nodded Hong Andong, "Do you also know that Bayi and Yin Xi are working together to develop a fashion brand? Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Lao Zhang, I didn't mean to hide this from you. Hong Andong didn't even call "Mr. Zhang", and directly changed to a more affectionate title, "I look at the end of the year, there are too many things you need to be busy with in the company, and the external business is under my control, which is within the scope of my responsibility, so I want to report to you after this matter is implemented." I also want to try to see if I can win this business from Bayi Yi with my face alone. In case I can't do it alone, I'll pull you out with me. ā
"No, no," Zhang Yunxing waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you for hiding it from me." You are the vice president, and you have no obligation to report to me in every detail. But you don't have to test how big your face is, Bayi came here this time, just for this matter, he took the initiative to come to us and ask for someone. He said that at the press conference of Yin Xi's studio, sixteen runway models were ready to be selected from our company. ā
"That's a good dare," Hong Anton also said with a smile, "This shows that Bayi still has our company in his heart." Although he has participated in the year-end conference for three consecutive years, he still thinks of us for the first time at the critical moment. Yin Xi is now our top model in China, she wants to launch a personal brand, or a brand launched in cooperation with Bayi, the fashion circle must be very concerned, our model can become her catwalk model, which is a very good publicity for our company. ā
"yes, that's what we're talking about. Zhang Yunxing said, "I said that we would gather all the company's agents for a meeting to discuss this matter, but Bayi didn't want to have a meeting." said that he wanted all the model materials that had no business in the coming week and early March, and he directly picked people. ā
"Well, it's no wonder I have to come to our year-end meeting, it seems that Bayi doesn't like to have meetings. Hong Andong said, "Since he doesn't want to have a meeting, then don't hold it, just notify our company's agent of this matter, and ask them to send the suitable model information on hand to Bayi to pick." can be a catwalk model for Yin Xi and Bayi's brand, presumably our company's agent and their models should be unwilling. ā
"Okay, then I'll ask the secretary to notify the company's agent, if you are not in the company, call to know, no matter how bad it is, you can send the information by email. Zhang Yunxing got up and said.
"Wait a minute," Xiao Yao stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Yunxing and said, "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Hong, in fact, I haven't finished what I said just now." ā
"Huh?" Zhang Yunxing and Hong Anton both looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Do you have any other conditions attached?"
"No, no strings attached. Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "It's just that the matter is not clear." ā
"Then you say. Zhang Yunxing said.
"I just said that I want to have no business and spare model materials in the coming week and early March, but it's not just to pick people for me and Yin Xi's brand launch. Xiao Yao said, "Actually, I have two projects on hand. If I am free in early March, I want a runway model, which I chose for the brand launch. If I have time in the coming week, I want a graphic model, and I want a male model for the majority. I prepared it for one of my own photography projects. ā
"Your own photography project, in the next week?" Hong Andong said strangely, "What brand of photography project? What kind of brand of photography project can make you agree to sell, it should not be the kind of second- or third-rate brand or fashion publication, but I haven't heard of any big brands or publications in China recently." You're not going to take our company's models to shoot foreign projects, right? ā
"It's a domestic project, but it's not for brands, it's for a TV show to be filmed for people. Xiao Yao said, shook his head again, and said, "That's not accurate. Forget it, I'll start from the beginning, that's what happened. I promised them to take a set of classical photos for the overall champion of the show last season, and put it on their official website as a promotional photo. ā
"I know, I've seen this show. Didn't you also participate in the champion special and won the champion of the champion special?" Hong Andong said, "The champion of the last season was a girl named Tu Yiyuan, who was the same age as you, and she was also the champion of the college entrance examination last year, and the last on the champion special was the PK of the two of you." But you take a photo of that little girl, why do you want to find a model from our company? Take a group photo? Our company's model doesn't have a contestant from that show, does this meet the shooting requirements put forward by the program team?"
"It's really not quite true, so it's not accurate to say that they were filmed. Xiao Yao said, ""Ancient Poetry Conference" is a high-rated program on Yanjing Satellite TV, and Tu Yiyuan is a "scholarly Internet celebrity" from this program, and her popularity is very high. I see that the program team wants to make Tu Yiyuan a business card of this show, so they attach great importance to this photo shooting. In addition to asking Tu Yiyuan's photo to match the classical and graceful style of their show, he also promised to be responsible for providing me with costumes, props and venues. I came up with an idea yesterday when I was thinking about Tu Yiyuan's shooting plan, since there are ready-made costumes, props and venues, in addition to taking a personal photo of Tu Yiyuan according to the requirements of the program team, I also plan to shoot a static movie with Tu Yiyuan as the protagonist, and I need to pick some people from our company's models to play supporting roles. ā
"Static movie?" Hong Andong and Zhang Yunxing both said a little puzzled, "What is that?"
"In professional terms, it's called picture montage," Xiao Yao said, "to put it simply, it's to use photos to tell a story." In general, the reason why the movies we watch feel dynamic is that the film is projected at 24 frames per second. To put it bluntly, a two-hour film is 7,200 seconds, which is made up of 172,800 films. Static film, on the other hand, does not use hundreds of thousands of films to compose a movie, but uses a dozen or dozens of photos to express a story. ā
Xiao Yao continued, "Static movies are different from ordinary photos, it is the same as making movies, scripts, costumes, actors, and props are all indispensable. I can write the script myself, and now that I've been given a place for costumes and props, I just need to find actors. ā
"You can also write scripts?" Zhang Yunxing was surprised.
"Yes, I've not only written scripts, I've also been a director. Xiao Yao smiled.
"I know this, the TV series that your family cooperated with Winter Sunshine is the script you wrote, and you have also made MVs as your own director. Hong Andong said, "But since it's the same as making movies, shouldn't you be looking for film and television actors? Why are you looking for models?"
"Because it's different from making a movie, it only has a dozen or dozens of photos, and these photos should have a visual effect like a hard photo, which can give people a shock, not like ordinary movie screenshots. So what I need is not a film actor with dynamic acting skills in front of the camera lens, but a model with static expression in front of the camera lens.
In fact, picture montage is also a compulsory course for film directing students, but in this world, no photographer has ever played this as a photography project. Directing students are not necessarily professional photographers, and not many people will make picture montages into blockbusters comparable to hard photos in order to complete their homework, and naturally not many people will use professional graphic models to shoot still films. But I'm different, I'm a professional photographer, I studied film and television, I've been a director, I can play like this. ā
"Sounds interesting," Zhang Yunxing and Hong Andong nodded at the same time.
Zhang Yunxing said: "Since it is your own project, and it is a new trick that no one else has played, we must fully support it, and I think the company's agents and models should also want to participate in your project." ā
"That's not necessarily," Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile and said, "Go and do a runway model for me and Yin Xi's brand conference, we will pay according to the rules, what to do, the specific price Your agent can talk to Yin Xi, I am only responsible for picking people." But my own static film project, this is my personal attempt, purely for fun, and I don't think of any commercial use for the time being, so the graphic models for this project are not paid. You'll have to talk to your agent and their models. ā
Although the static expressiveness of professional models in front of the camera lens is relatively strong, those professional film and television actors usually take all kinds of promotional photos, and their performance in photography is actually very good. However, Xiao Yao has already brushed up his resources in film and television actors when he made the short film "Tuner", and the wave of actors who were brought in that time did not pay the salary, if this static movie still allows professional actors to appear for free, Xiao Yao himself feels a little embarrassed.
"You want a free model. Zhang Yunxing understood, and joked with a smile, "Your boss is really picky." ā
"There's no way, I'm poor!" Xiao Yao spread his hands and said, "I have invested all the money from the company's dividends this year in other places." The static movie I shot this time is a costume theme, and I can't pull manufacturers to do product placement, this thing is not an ordinary movie, no one has played like this before, and I don't know if I can sell it after shooting, so I can only treat him as my own fun work, not a commercial work, don't you see that my costume and props venues have to take advantage of other people's program groups to dare to open this project?"
Xiao Yao watched two static movies in his previous life, namely "Xin Golden Vase Plum" and "Red Cliff Bronze Bird Terrace". Those photos look beautiful and make people feel amazing, but the shapes of the characters in them are too sexy and exposed, and the highlights are the beautiful backs, long legs and big "steamed buns" of the female models in the picture. Xiao Yao doesn't plan to make that style of static movie, his protagonist is Tu Yiyuan, and he can't make that kind of large-scale sexy style.
After chatting with Tu Yiyuan, Xiao Yao found that the ancient talented woman Tu Yiyuan admired the most was the female lyricist Li Qingzhao of the Song Dynasty. And Tu Yiyuan doesn't know Li Qingzhao's life very well, and he is very similar to Li Qingzhao's temperament. There is not only the grace in Li Qingzhao's lyrics, but also the impassioned in Li Qingzhao's poems. Xiao Yao himself also admires Li Qingzhao, the "first talented woman in the ages", so he plans to use Tu Yiyuan as the protagonist to make a static movie about Li Qingzhao's life.
Although Tu Yiyuan is a "scholarly Internet celebrity", she is not an artist in the entertainment industry after all. And Li Qingzhao's life story is far less entertaining than Jinhuamei and Tongquetai, and his static movie does not have a large-scale picture to attract attention, so Xiao Yao really has little confidence in the "money" of this static movie.
