Chapter 682: Yan Electric Takes Pictures
Shen Hongshu and Sun Zhihao didn't stay in the students' seats for long. Shen Hongshu discussed with Xiao Yao some of the general arrangements for the courses and time of the master's degree in the future, and then got up and left.
As soon as Shen Hongshu and Sun Zhihao left, some of the Yandian students near the seats of Xiao Yao's group also turned their heads and came over to talk to Xiao Yao and the others and said hello. On the surface, these Yandian students from our school are saying that they welcome Xiao Yao and these students to come to Yandian to watch the play, but in fact, they are mainly to meet Xiao Yao and get acquainted with each other.
Yandian's students don't care much about star actors, but they still care more about directors, especially Xiao Yao, a young director who looks promising. Taking advantage of this occasion, everyone doesn't mind leaving an impression on him in advance, or even relationships everywhere.
Shen Hongshu came over to chat, coupled with the greetings and greetings from the students of Yandian School around him, the time before the graduation performance was almost consumed. Xiao Yao and the others looked at the time and found that the performance was about to start, so they could only dispel the idea of sneaking into the backstage to watch Zhao Rui.
A few minutes later, a student-looking girl walked onto the stage with a microphone. Seeing the host on stage, the audience quickly quieted down.
This is a graduation performance, not a theatrical evening, and the host mainly plays the role of an introduction and a newspaper, without too much nonsense. After a brief introduction, it quickly entered the main play, and the graduates' report performance.
The performances in the school theater are basically in the form of dramas. This year's Yandian Performance Department is divided into three classes, with a total of more than 40 students. The graduation performance was a total of six plays, with an average of seven or eight roles per play, almost two in a class.
These six scenes have new repertoire written by themselves, excerpts from the world's classic dramas, and adapted film and television works, all of which vary in type and content.
The school theater is not as bad as the professional drama theater, the hardware facilities such as stage lighting are slightly worse, and the students who have just graduated are not as good as the drama actors who perform commercially, and the software is also slightly worse. However, this is a graduation performance, not a commercial drama performance, and everyone's requirements for stage performance are slightly lower.
Yandian is one of the three major film and television schools in China, with a good reputation, and the ability of the students it has cultivated is also relatively guaranteed. For a graduation report performance in the school, the six scenes shown still reflect a good standard, which makes the teachers and students in the audience watch it with relish. At the end of each play, everyone gave warm applause, including cheers and applause from some students.
Zhao Rui's graduation drama is an adaptation of a fragment of a classic drama in the 90s of the last century, and it was arranged to perform in the third stage. Zhao Rui is a star actor among the students of this year's Yandian Performance Department, and he is one of the most well-known. It stands to reason that he should play the more core main role in the graduation drama with rich acting experience, but in this play, Zhao Rui only played a medium role, at most a big supporting role with a slightly more role.
However, even if Zhao Rui's role is not the most, his performance is still brilliant enough. In the part of Zhao Rui's performance, many school leaders and teachers in the audience nodded frequently after watching his performance, and even approached each other to exchange and evaluate a few words in a whisper.
Xiao Yao and others had watched Zhao Rui's rehearsals, and they had a good idea of Zhao Rui's role and role, and they were not surprised that Zhao Rui did not play the leading role in the play, but they just stood up from their seats and applauded wildly after the play.
After all six scenes were performed, Shen Hongshu, deputy dean of the School of Acting in charge of teaching, who was sitting in the audience, took the microphone to make a brief comment on the six scenes, and finally encouraged the students, and the report performance of this graduation drama ended.
That night, Xiao Yao and several other young people got together to celebrate Zhao Rui after the performance. However, considering that there is an official graduation ceremony tomorrow, everyone did not make too much noise and too late.
The next day, Xiao Yao and others came to Yandian as scheduled to attend Zhao Rui's graduation ceremony.
The process of graduation ceremonies is similar in many schools. The auditorium gathers, the national anthem is played, the school leaders make speeches, the graduation certificates are presented or the award ceremony is added, and then the representatives of teachers, students, or alumni or current students who have graduated from the past have spoken, and finally there is a leading speech.
However, as a film and television school, Yandian's graduation ceremony also has some special features. A large screen was set up in the auditorium of the graduation ceremony, and before the school leaders spoke, a film about the development and future development trend of film was shown to everyone, which fully demonstrated the characteristics of the film school. After the film ended, two performances of literary and artistic programs were also arranged, showing the literary and artistic expertise of students from art academies.
In this link, Zhao Rui also hit Xiao Yao's idea, wanting him to go up and sing an inspirational song related to graduation to the graduates.
With Xiao Yao's current identity, reputation and fame, Zhao Rui is still more confident that the school will agree to Xiao Yao, a student in the same industry, to perform at the graduation ceremony as a special guest, but Xiao Yao refused on the grounds that he was neither a graduate nor a student of Yandian. Of course, the most important thing is that Yandian is also an art school, and there are many students who can sing and dance, and going to Yandian's graduation ceremony to perform by themselves may give people a feeling of bullying Yandian and causing disgust from some people. It's not a competition, so I won't go up to charge it.
Xiao Yao not only didn't go to Yandian's graduation ceremony to perform, but he didn't even go to the auditorium to watch the ceremony.
Xiao Yao has never participated in Yandian's art exam, and he has never been to Xiao Chengru or Sun Zhihao when he was a child, this is the third time he has come to Yandian. The first two times were to see Zhao Rui's rehearsal the day before yesterday and to see the graduation play yesterday, both of which were a group of people who came and walked together, and Xiao Yao had not had the opportunity to carefully visit this famous art school in China. The graduation ceremony will take about two hours, and it will be almost a morning. Xiao Yao didn't enter the auditorium to watch the ceremony, and he definitely wouldn't wait stupidly outside the auditorium, so he simply carried a bag of photographic equipment and wandered around Yandian's campus.
In the process of shopping, Xiao Yao, who is carrying a camera on his back, will also take two photos of Yandian's buildings and scenery from time to time, just to prepare for Zhao Rui's graduation photos for a while, and to familiarize himself with the machine and feel. It's summer vacation now, but there are other people on campus besides the graduation ceremony that is going on for new graduates. Seeing handsome guys and beauties, Xiao Yao also couldn't help but secretly take two photos.
Xiao Yao is wandering around the campus, taking pictures by the way, and he will definitely not spend time to communicate with the subject and let people pose for photos. Xiao Yao casually grabbed the natural moment of the subject, and its nature was actually similar to that of candid photography, but Xiao Yao did not have any awareness of candid photography, so he did not deliberately hide his figure.
Xiao Yao's candid photography skills are good, and the subject is generally not discovered, but he is secretly shooting on campus, which will inevitably be discovered by other passers-by.
Yandian is the cradle of stars, not only will there be many stars in the future, but also famous stars can often be seen, and it is an ideal place for paparazzi to shoot stars. However, in order to create a comfortable and relaxing environment for students, the school strictly prohibits paparazzi from entering. The school is very strict in terms of access management, not to mention the general idlers and paparazzi, and even the reporters of the regular media, it is not easy to enter the campus.
Whether it is a student in school or a star who has become famous, when it comes to school, it is also very repulsive to the paparazzi. So it's not just the school that is strict in terms of access management, but even the school personnel will spontaneously expel the paparazzi reporter when they find it.
Xiao Yao wears a baseball cap and carries a camera bag, which is obviously the dress of a photographer. But there are many kinds of photographers, Xiao Yao looks a little sneaky when taking pictures, and the camera covers his face when taking pictures, so it is easy to be mistaken for sneaking into the paparazzi on campus.
Xiao Yao, who looked like a paparazzi reporter, was discovered, which naturally aroused the vigilance of some people. Xiao Yao looked tall and strong, but no one came up directly to trouble him, but someone quietly called the school security office and recruited the school's security guards to come and chase him.
When he was scolded by the Yandian security guards who rushed over, Xiao Yao once had the idea of running away and playing hide and seek with the security guards, but thinking about it, he came to help Zhao Rui take graduation photos today, and it was no longer good to be treated as a paparazzi by the security guards. So Xiao Yao could only put down the camera, show his face, and patiently wait for the security guards to approach and explain to them.
Xiao Yao is very famous now, and this face is also more useful. After seeing Xiao Yao's face clearly, the attitude of the security guards, who were originally a little angry, immediately improved a lot. However, for the sake of safety, they still contacted the security guard at the gate and confirmed that Xiao Yao had a registration record at the gate and was a family member who came to attend the graduation ceremony.
However, a family member of a graduate who came to attend the graduation ceremony did not go to the auditorium to watch the ceremony, but ran around the campus to hang out and take pictures secretly? The security guard still had some doubts about Xiao Yao's behavior. Xiao Yao's explanation for this matter is that he wants to visit the campus and take some photos by the way.
If it is really a family member of a graduate, it is normal and allowable to take some school buildings and even selfies, but it is not right to secretly take pictures of other people or celebrities. For the sake of safety, the security guard still offered to check Xiao Yao's camera. Xiao Yao didn't lose his temper in this matter, and immediately called up the photos in the camera to show those security guards.
There are some photos in the camera, people and buildings. The security guards paid attention to the photos of those who took people, and found that one was a star who had almost no fame, and the other was basically some ordinary photos walking on the road, not only did they all look good, there were no intentional ugly photos, and there were no malicious photos involving sensitive parts, at best, it was equivalent to ordinary street photography, and in the end, Xiao Yao was not asked to delete the photos.
However, those security guards did not ask for it, but Xiao Yao took the initiative to delete all the portrait photos in front of the security guards. Anyway, he was just shooting and playing, and he didn't plan to post all those photos.
Later, when a security guard inadvertently chatted with a student in the photo, the student complained to the security guard, blaming the security guard for being troublesome. Of course, it's no problem to catch the paparazzi, but Xiao Yao certainly won't be a paparazzi! Since he recognized Xiao Yao, why did he even go to see the pictures in other people's cameras? Xiao Yao is a famous photographer, and no matter how many people want to ask him to take pictures, they can't ask him to take pictures. Although it was taken without knowing it, since it is not an ugly photo, it is a great thing for himself when Xiao Yao sends it out! And you just said it, why do you want to emphasize how beautiful Xiao Yao took a picture of me? Isn't this pure and annoying!
Of course, that's all for later.
Xiao Yao explained clearly to the security guard, and after sending the security guard away, some students who were originally watching from the side took the initiative to come over and greet Xiao Yao. After dealing with these students, it was almost time for the graduation ceremony to end, Xiao Yao put away his camera and hurried back to the outside of the school's auditorium.
Xiao Yao found a shady place outside the auditorium to rest for a while, and the door of the auditorium opened. A group of students in bachelor's uniforms poured out. After Xiao Yao found the figure of Zhao Rui and the others, he quickly got up and greeted him.
After the graduation ceremony, the next step is to take group photos by department and class. Different departments and majors have already found their own photo areas, and after leaving the auditorium, everyone is separated by department and major.
Xiao Yao didn't know the group photo shooting venue of the acting department, and he was in a hurry to come back in advance just to move with them, so as not to find someone for each other later.
When you arrive at the place, the first thing is to take a group photo of the whole department. The teachers sat and the students squatted or stood, and the teachers were surrounded in the middle.
Film and television schools like Yandian don't need to go outside to invite photographers. This time I took a graduation photo, and the junior students of the photography department were basically all pulled strong and divided up by the graduating classes of various departments and majors. The photographer hired by the performance department is also a student of the photography department in the third year, and his photography skills must be good, but when he saw Xiao Yao standing in the group of students' families on the side, and he was still carrying a photography bag, many students still coaxed Xiao Yao to help them take this group photo.
Although the third-year student of the photography department with the camera was brought in to help take a graduation group photo, he did not have any disgust with the behavior of the senior brothers and sisters of the acting department changing generals, but instead coaxed everyone to let Xiao Yao take pictures.
If it was just the request of Zhao Rui and his classmates, Xiao Yao could choose to ignore it, but when the teachers of the Yandian Performance Department also invited him, Xiao Yao couldn't ignore it.
Xiao Yao agreed to take pictures, but he did not completely replace the original photographer. He proposed that the two of them take group photos for the whole department and the whole class of the acting department, and everyone took their own photos, and the last two photos were given to everyone.
The third-year student of the photography department was invited by the acting department, and Xiao Yao did this to save his face, and the teachers and students of the acting department certainly had no reason not to agree.
After taking a group photo of the whole department, the two photographers took a group photo of each of the three classes. Then, it's time to move around freely.
