"Yo, you're ready to prove yourself with your actions. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although I don't have a good network in the fashion circle in Huaxia, I can say hello to the art directors of several international brand headquarters and ask them to recommend you to the Huaxia branch to do a few photography projects, and I believe they will still give me this face." ”

"No," Xiao Yao refused again, "These big fashion brands have their own styles, their own shooting plans, and their own art directors to check and shoot for them, which doesn't fully show my ability." ”

"Then you've already found a good project?" asked Chen Xuan.

"I haven't found it yet, but I already have an idea. Xiao Yao said confidently.

"Oh, I'm curious how you're going to show your skills to the fullest. Chen Xuan asked with great interest, "Tell me what you think." ”

"Do you know that the reason why I revealed my identity as a photographer is because I participated in a reality-related reality show related to fashion, and someone questioned my knowledge of fashion?" Xiao Yao asked Chen Xuan rhetorically.

"I know," Chen Xuan said with a smile, "Although I'm not in Huaxia, I've seen a lot of reports about you in Huaxia on the Internet recently, and I still know the cause of the incident." ”

"So this time I have to prove that I'm not just a real photographer, but also a fashion photographer with a lot of taste. Xiao Yao said, "I want to take hard photos, but I don't shoot professional models, I plan to shoot professionals in the non-modeling industry." ”

Hard photos refer to flat photos taken for advertisements and magazines, which are considered to be the photos with the highest quality requirements. Although it may not seem complicated to take pictures, there is a lot of preparation that needs to be done in the early stage. What Xiao Yao said means is that he not only has to take pictures, but also has to make plans in advance, make shooting plans, and be responsible for the post-production retouching.

And the quality of the subject, that is, the model itself, and the cooperation with the photographer are also very important. Looking for a non-professional model to take hard photos, aside from the physical condition and expressiveness, the subject's performance skills during shooting, communication skills with the photographer, and the ability to comprehend the photographer's intentions cannot be compared with professional models.

"It's very challenging," Chen Xuan praised, "Do you need my help?"

"Of course not. Xiao Yao said, "After learning from you for so many years, it's not like I haven't completed a shooting project alone." This time I'm trying to prove myself, so I can't let you in and get involved. Just wait and see what I make. ”

"Okay, I'll see. With that, Chen Xuan happily hung up the phone.

When it comes to the subject of hard photos of non-professional models, Xiao Yao's first thought is athletes. After all, this is the group with the best body except for models. In terms of which athletes to choose, because of the World Basketball Championships this year, Xiao Yao, who is a basketball fan, put his idea on the group of long-legged players of the national men's basketball team.

When it comes to the national men's basketball team, the first person Xiao Yao thinks of is Chen Yang. Although Chen Yang retired two years ago, he has not cut ties with basketball or the national men's basketball team since he retired. He will not be able to play in this year's men's World Basketball Championships, but he still appears as a technical guide in this year's national team.

Based on Chen Yang's successful experience in the American professional basketball team before his retirement, he is still the existence that the entire Chinese basketball community looks up to after two years of retirement. So don't look at Chen Yang on the surface as just a technical guidance position, in fact, his influence on the national team is incomparable to many coaches and even ordinary leaders. Xiao Yao wants to take pictures of the players of the men's national basketball team, and the first choice is naturally through Chen Yang.

Since it is not looking for Chen Yang to participate in commercial activities, this matter does not need Chen Yang's agent to participate, it just so happened that Xiao Siqi and Chen Yang participated in a reality show together some time ago, and the two exchanged the latest private numbers, Xiao Yao asked for a number from Xiao Siqi and contacted Chen Yang directly.

Since the national team is currently training and preparing for the national basketball hall in Yanjing, Chen Yang happens to be in Yanjing.

"Hello Uncle Chen Yang, I'm Xiao Yao, do you remember me from Bayi in "Where Are You Going, Dad?" Xiao Yao said very politely after calling Chen Yang.

"Of course I remember, the little demon who rejected me back then. Chen Yang smiled at the phone. The programs he has participated in as a guest, Chen Yang will definitely pay more attention and pay attention to it. Chen Yang was particularly impressed by the child who refused his recommendation to go to the teacher's basketball school to learn to play basketball, and was called a "demon" by the audience after the show was broadcast.

The so-called style is not separated, although Chen Yang and Xiao Yao have not been in contact for more than ten years, Xiao Yao was too impressed by Chen Yang back then, so he will pay special attention to Xiao Yao's news. Xiao Yao is acting and singing, and Chen Yang has also seen these things in media reports, so naturally he will not know who Xiao Yao is. However, what made him feel a little strange was that Xiao Yao, who was obviously going to develop in the entertainment industry, was looking for himself to play basketball at this time.

"What's the matter with me?" Chen Yang asked Xiao Yao.

"Uncle Chen, it's like this..."Xiao Yao said, but as soon as he started, he was interrupted by Chen Yang.

"Wait, you're seventeen, aren't you?" Chen Yang interrupted Xiao Yao.

"It's almost seventeen years old in a few months. Xiao Yao was a little puzzled, but he still replied honestly.

"That's an adult," Chen Yang said seriously, "So don't call me uncle, brother!"

"Nima!" Xiao Yao resisted the urge to vomit blood, wiped the non-existent sweat from the corner of his forehead, and complained in his heart.

"Brother Yang!" Thinking of finding someone to help, Xiao Yao immediately shouted from a good voice.

"Eh~ What's the matter, you say. Chen Yang said with satisfaction.

"I wanted to take a set of photos of the players in the men's national basketball team. Xiao Yao was not polite anymore, and said directly, "I want to ask you to help introduce and recommend it, it is best to mediate and promote this matter." ”

"Take pictures?" Hearing this, Chen Yang remembered the recent controversy in the media and on the Internet about Xiao Yao's identity as a photographer. As a person who has witnessed Xiao Yao's demonic performance when he was a child, Chen Yang believes in Xiao Yao, so at the first time, Chen Yang thought that this was Xiao Yao and wanted to respond to the controversy. But why the men's national basketball team?

"Why do you want to shoot the men's basketball players? Is there any explanation?" Chen Yang asked Xiao Yaodao, "You know that this kind of thing requires the consent of the leader, and if I want to convince the leader, I have to give the leader a reason to be persuaded by me." ”

"The World Championships are coming, take a set of photos for the men's basketball players for publicity, enhance the image of the men's basketball players through photos, and let everyone pay more attention to the men's national basketball team and the World Championships, and at the same time, I can be regarded as cheering for the men's basketball players. I am responsible for the venue, the staff, and the equipment, and I don't charge any fees, and it's free to shoot, and if the effect of the shooting is not satisfactory to the people in charge of the men's basketball promotion, they can choose not to do it. Xiao Yao replied without thinking, obviously prepared.

"I don't hide anything from you, and I also want to prove my ability as a photographer through this project. But no matter what the result is, my purpose for the national team will not lose anything other than taking up a little personal time for the players. Xiao Yao added.

"It sounds like a good reason and a good condition. Chen Yang smiled and nodded.

Although Xiao Yao couldn't see Chen Yang's nodding action on the other end of the phone, from Chen Yang's tone, Xiao Yao felt that there seemed to be a way to do this.

"Then you agreed?" Xiao Yao hit the railroad while it was hot.

"Basically, there's no problem," Chen Yang said, "but you can't throw it all at me." At least you have to come and join me to meet the leader in charge of publicity, show up in front of the leader, and talk to the leader in person about your thoughts. In addition, even if the leader agrees, the team members themselves have to cooperate. You should also meet with the players in advance, preferably to get their approval in advance. Although I don't know anything about photography, I at least know that photography requires the cooperation of photographers and models to produce good photos. ”

"It's all right, you can arrange the time and place, I'll be on time. Xiao Yao immediately said happily.

"Okay, then you wait for my notice, I'll mention this matter to the leaders and team members in advance, and I'll let you know when we meet." Chen Yang also said unequivocally.

Chen Yang's efficiency is still very high, and only two days later, he notified Xiao Yao to go to the basketball management center to meet with relevant officials.

When Xiao Yao arrived at the basketball management center, the enthusiastic Chen Yang was already waiting for him at the gate.

As soon as they met, Chen Yang gave Xiao Yao a big hug warmly. After Xiao Yao's enthusiastic response and repeated thanks, Chen Yang took Xiao Yao to meet with the official in charge of the men's basketball team's publicity.

As a sports official, he naturally doesn't know as much about the showbiz and fashion industry as Chen Yang, a top sports star. Chen Yang, as the most accomplished and successful basketball player in China so far, has a great influence in the Chinese basketball world, and most of his career has been spent in the United States. Therefore, although the official was surprised by Xiao Yao's immature face and too young age, he still believed Chen Yang's words.

Xiao Yao provides the venue, personnel, and equipment by himself, without charging any fees, except for the need for the players to take some time to take pictures, basically does not need the basketball center to do any work. Even if it is necessary for the players to take time to take pictures, Xiao Yao is very considerate to arrange the free time that does not affect the normal training of the players. If the photo is taken well and everyone is satisfied, the national team can use it for free to publicize, and if it is not taken well, you can choose not to use it. So there seems to be no reason for the basketball center to refuse.

After getting the leading officials here, Xiao Yao, who came out of the basketball management center, breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yao's relaxed expression, and couldn't help but remind: "The leader has done it here, but the team members haven't done it yet." You're taking pictures of their free time outside of training. Although the leader has to come after speaking, you want them to cooperate with you willingly and let you play fully, but it depends on your performance later. ”

As he spoke, Chen Yang beckoned Xiao Yao, who had taken a taxi, to get into his car and take him straight to the basketball hall where the national men's basketball team was training. (To be continued.) )
