Chapter 86

It's not the first time Xiao Yao has ever taken a plane, whether in his previous or present life. But it's the first time for a girl to go abroad by international flight. Compared with domestic flights, international flights have one more customs clearance procedure after security inspection, which is not a problem for Xiao Yao.

Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying have both gone abroad for work reasons. They have given Xiao Yao a clear account of the procedures for passing the customs, what they can bring and what they can't bring. Xiao Yao has also understood them, so there is no problem for them to pass the customs smoothly.

Xiao Yao's first flight abroad, Xiao Siqi certainly won't let him go midway to add unnecessary trouble, help him book a direct flight from Yanjing to New York. As the flight time will last more than ten hours, in order to make him more comfortable on the plane, he also reserved a first-class ticket. But the ticket was ordered by Xiao Siqi, but Xiao Yao had to pay for it himself. Xiao Yao is also extremely speechless about this, but in order to make Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying less worried, and he is not unable to sit up now, he accepts it all in silence.

Xiao Yao's height is close to 1.5 meters, which is not much different from that of some short adult women, but his face is still in line with his age, so as soon as Xiao Yao gets on the plane, an enthusiastic flight attendant comes up to pick up his carry on luggage and help him put it into the luggage compartment.

Compared with the more luxurious decoration, more rich meals, and more beautiful flight attendants, Xiao Yao is most happy that he can finally lay down his seat and sleep on the plane. This is something he always wanted to do when he was flying, but he could never do it. But the plane hasn't taken off yet, and now we can't put down the seat and go to sleep directly. Xiao Yao can only put on headphones and listen to music while waiting for the plane to take off.

Of course, in addition to listening to music, Xiao Yao's hands, eyes and brain can not be idle. I learned photography two years ago, but since I went to the EVA show this time, even if I went backstage to catch embarrassing photos, I have a formal connection with the fashion circle and even the model circle. If it's a 10-year-old, it's easy to complete the task. But as a guy with a soul of more than 30 years old, Xiao Yao has to do some preparatory work in advance.

If you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. As early as Xiao Yao promised Chen Xuan to be the backstage photographer of the EVA show, he asked Chen Xuan for information about all the more than 30 people who participated in the show. In addition to basic information, personal experience, personality characteristics and so on, he even asked for previous works and video materials of the show.

Xiao Yao's reason is that only when he knows enough about the people he wants to shoot, can he accurately predict where they may be embarrassed, which will help him to catch the embarrassing photos of these people backstage. This reason is very good, very powerful, and even sounds very professional. Chen Xuan directly finds the person in charge of EVA show in the same way, and smoothly gets the information. These dozens of people are selected from hundreds of interviews, and EVA has all kinds of information on hand.

At the same time, in order to avoid the embarrassment of talking with each other, Xiao Yao has to make up for all kinds of knowledge of the modeling industry. From the historical development to the present situation and professional terms, he can try not to speak, but he can't accept that he can't understand what others say. Chen Xuan doesn't have all the information on hand and doesn't have the leisure to help Xiao Yao find it. Fortunately, his contacts are tough enough. He directly found a friend of a famous fashion magazine editor and got a very complete information to throw to Xiao Yao.

These two piles of information are Xiao Yao's main pastimes in addition to sleeping during his ten hour journey. Through these materials, Xiao Yao, a complete layman, knows that the modeling circle is also divided into idol group and strength group, as well as HF and business group. Just as there are actors who specialize in drama, they are considered to be better and more professional in the circle, but their income is not as good as those of the same level.

HF, that is, high-end fashion models have more temperament and taste, and all kinds of high coldness are more valued in the circle, but their income is usually not as high as those commercial models. Of course, just as actors in a drama can also perform in a film and television drama and actors in a film and television drama can also find time to perform in a drama, HF and commercial models are not completely separated, and they will also cross-border and mix together. Many models are mixed on both sides, just with different emphasis.

Although Xiao Yao has played a drama, not a film and television drama, but he is not a pursuit of niche and high cold people. In addition, both his enlightening teacher and his grandfather Xiao Chengru have performed in drama, but they are better known through the screen rather than the stage. Xiao Yao's aesthetic is popular. He doesn't like HF models because of their coldness. In contrast, he appreciates commercial models.

Fortunately, EVA show belongs to the top commercial fashion show. The models here not only have the good figure in the eyes of most ordinary people, but also have beautiful faces in line with the aesthetics of most ordinary people. The typical HF model's paper figure, or rigid or fairy or strange face, he was lucky to not see this time.

When it comes to the models of this show, Xiao Yao is also very happy to see the names of two Chinese models. Although Xiao Yao didn't know them at all, he was very happy to see their names, even a little proud. EVA is a world-class fashion brand, and the EVA show is also a world-class fashion event. In order to take care of customers and audiences of different races, the EVA show over the years has gathered models of various races and skin colors. In East Asia, EVA chose Chinese models instead of neighboring Japanese and Korean models.Because of the time difference, Xiao Yao, who boarded the plane during the day, was still in the daytime when he got off the plane at the International Airport in New York. After picking up the luggage, Xiao Yao sees Chen Xuan waiting in the reception hall at the first sight.

After calling Xiao Siqi for peace for the first time, Xiao Yao follows Chen Xuan to the hotel. Although a 10-year-old new photographer, EVA is still very generous to book a five-star hotel suite for Xiao Yao. In the past, when Xiao Yao was in China, whether he was with Xiao Chengru or Xiao Siqi, Ye Jiaying, he stayed in a very good hotel. However, they were not extravagant. They had never stayed in a five-star hotel. Xiao Yao also had meat for free.

There was nothing wrong on the first day of arrival. The main task was jet lag. But Xiao Yao, who had been sleeping on the plane for a long time, didn't feel sleepy at all, so he just stayed in the hotel and continued to read the information on the plane.

The next morning, Chen Xuan brought the news to Xiao Yao. He will be directly involved in the official performance of EVA show tomorrow evening. At the same time, Xiao Yao is required to participate in this afternoon's rehearsal. At that time, he will be arranged to enter the backstage, get to know the models and backstage staff, and get familiar with the backstage environment and workflow, so as to avoid any accident that may affect the normal work of the backstage due to his reasons when the official performance tomorrow night.

For this requirement, Xiao Yao naturally has no problem. The rehearsal time in the afternoon is arranged to start at four o'clock, and the whole morning and half afternoon are free. The United States is no better than China. It's not safe to hang out at night. Xiao Yao is only ten years old, and many entertainment places will not allow Xiao Yao to enter according to the law. So yesterday afternoon, Chen Xuan sent Xiao Yao to the hotel to have a rest. In the evening, he left Xiao Yao alone in the hotel and went out alone.

Today, Xiao Yao is coming to the United States for the first time in his spare time. Chen Xuan decides to take Xiao Yao out for a walk. Now that you've come to big apple City, statue of liberty, Times Square, Empire State Building and other places, it seems impossible to go without Xiao Yao.

For two photographers, big and small, going out to play is a necessary camera, but also a professional SLR camera. Two people walk all the way, play all the way, watch all the way, shoot all the way, three places down, it's easy to kill most of the free time.

They were very punctual and arrived at the venue before 4 pm. At this time, the construction of the venue and the installation and debugging of lighting, sound and other equipment were all done very well. Although Xiao Yao's test was canceled, Chen Xuan still couldn't help showing Xiao Yao the photos he had taken before playing around when he met the person in charge of the press conference.

As Xiao Yao's teacher, and together with Xiao Yao, every time Xiao Yao takes a picture in the morning, Chen Xuan wants to pass the goal, so as to guide him to take the problem at any time. Many of these photos were taken by strangers on the street. None of them was taken by Xiao Yao after he went to talk with others and posed for him to take photos. All of them were taken by Xiao Yao casually. So these photos are enough to show that Xiao Yao's sense and ability of capturing is enough to be competent for this shooting task.

Sure enough, the person in charge of the EVA show, Donne Gianni, a gray haired old man in his fifties, saw these photos displayed by Chen Xuan, and had no worries about Xiao Yao. Just then an assistant came to report that all the models had arrived, and all the facilities were ready for the rehearsal. The old man said, "OK, I'll take young to the backstage to introduce you. Thiel, don't come backstage. Give it to me

It's all the processes that have been informed before, Chen Xuan and Xiao Yao nodded at the same time. Don and Xiao Yao went backstage.

The backstage of the fashion conference is basically divided into dressing area, dressing area and waiting area. Because it is not a dress rehearsal with makeup, the models basically gather in the waiting area connected with the entrance channel. As soon as Dunn came in, the models looked over and said hello.

"Is this the backstage photographer this time?" The model with sharp eyes saw Xiao Yao coming in with Deng en, and immediately asked Deng Enfa. Xiao Yao is also carrying a camera in his hand. With his tender face, it's easy for models to guess his identity.

"Yes, I'd like to introduce you to this year's backstage photographer, young Shanghai. His works have been published in city pictures in France and world geography in the United States. He is a great new photographer. " Donne smiles and introduces.

"Hello ladies, I'm young Shaw." Xiao Yao stepped forward and said hello to the models with a smile.

Xiao Yao said hello in English. Since he got off the plane and called Xiao Siqi to report safety, he switched to English mode. All the communication with Chen Xuan these two days is in English, and Chen Xuan is not allowed to practice Chinese in the United States.

"Young, how young are you?" Asked one of the models, a sweet looking woman with long straight blonde hair.
