Chapter 159

"Oh, you're ready to prove yourself with action." Chen Xuan said with a smile, "do you want me to introduce some projects to you? Although I don't have good contacts in the fashion circle of Huaxia, I can say hello to the art directors of the headquarters of several major international brands and ask them to recommend you to the branch of Huaxia to do some photography projects. I believe they will still give me this face. "

"No," Xiao Yao once again refused, "these big fashion brands have their own styles, their own shooting plans, and their own artistic directors. Shooting for them does not fully show my ability."

"So you've already found the project?" Chen Xuan asked.

"I haven't found it yet, but I have an idea." Xiao Yao is confident.

"Oh? I'm curious about how you're going to fully demonstrate your ability. " Chen Xuan asked with great interest, "tell me what you think."

"Do you know that the reason why I revealed my identity as ys photographer is that I participated in a fashion related reality show, and some people questioned my understanding of fashion?" Xiao Yao asks Chen xuandao.

"Yes," Chen Xuan said with a smile, "although I'm not in Huaxia, I've read a lot of reports about you in Huaxia on the Internet recently, and I'm still clear about the cause of the incident."

"So this time I need to prove that I'm not only a real photographer, but also a fashion photographer with good taste." Xiao Yao said, "I want to take hard photos, but I don't take professional models. I'm going to take non model professionals."

The so-called hard photos refer to the plane photos taken for advertisements and magazines, which can be regarded as the photos with the highest quality requirements. Although it doesn't seem complicated to take photos, there is a lot of preparatory work to be done in the early stage. What Xiao Yao said is that he not only has to take photos, but also has to make plans in advance, make shooting plans, and take charge of the later film repair.

And the shooting subject, that is, the quality of the model itself and the cooperation with the photographer is also very important. When looking for non professional models to take hard photos, first of all, regardless of the physical condition and expressiveness, it is impossible to compare the performance skills of the subject, the communication skills with the photographer and the ability to understand the intention of the photographer with professional models.

"It's very challenging," Chen Xuan praised. "Can I help you?"

"Of course not." Xiao Yao said, "after learning from you for so many years, it's not that I haven't finished the shooting project alone. This time I want to prove myself, and I can't let you in. You just wait and see what I've made. "

"Well, I'll see." Said, 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 figure besides models. As a basketball fan, Xiao Yao decided which sport to choose because of the world basketball championship this year.

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 did not break contact with basketball and the National Men's basketball team. He can't play in this year's world basketball championship, but he still appears in this year's national team as a technical director.

Taking Chen Yang's successful experience in NBA before his retirement as an example, after two years of retirement, he is still the existence that the whole Chinese basketball industry looks up to. So although Chen Yang is only a technical director on the surface, in fact, his influence in the national team is incomparable to that of many coaches and even ordinary leaders. Xiao Yao wants to take pictures of the players of the men's basketball national team. His first choice is naturally through Chen Yang.

Since Chen Yang is not involved in business activities, Chen Yang's agent is not required to participate in this matter. Just a while ago, Xiao Siqi and Chen Yang participated in reality TV programs together. They exchanged the latest personal number. Xiao Yao asked Xiao Siqi for the number and contacted Chen Yang directly.

As the national team is currently training in the National Basketball Hall in Yanjing, Chen Yang happens to be in Yanjing.

"Hello, Uncle Chen Yang. I'm Xiao Yao. I was Bayi in" where's dad going? "Do you remember me Xiao Yao is very polite after calling Chen Yang.

"Of course, I remember the little devil who refused me." Chen Yang said with a smile to the phone. Chen Yang will certainly pay more attention to the programs he has participated in as a guest. Chen Yang was particularly impressed by the child who refused to recommend him to go to his teacher's basketball school to learn how to play basketball, and who was called a "monster" by the audience after the program was broadcast.

Although Chen Yang and Xiao Yao haven't been in touch for more than ten years, Xiao Yao impressed Chen Yang so much that he would pay more attention to Xiao Yao's news. Chen Yang has also seen Xiao Yao's acting and singing in the media reports. Naturally, he doesn't know who Xiao Yao is. But what makes him feel strange is that Xiao Yao, who is obviously going to the entertainment industry, is looking for a basketball player at this time.

"What can I do for you?" Chen Yang asked Xiao Yaodao.

"Uncle Chen, it's like this..." Xiao Yao said, but as soon as he started, he was interrupted by Chen Yang."Wait, are you seventeen?" Chen Yang interrupts Xiao Yao.

"Soon, I'll be seventeen in a few months." Xiao Yao was puzzled, but he replied honestly.

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

"NIMA!" Xiao Yao suppressed the impulse to spit blood, wiped the sweat that did not exist in his forehead, and make complaints about it in his heart.

"Brother Yang!" Thinking of seeking help from others, Xiao Yao immediately gave a good cry.

"What's the matter, you say." Chen Yang is very satisfied.

"I want to take a group of pictures of the players of the men's basketball national team." Xiao Yao is no longer polite. He says directly, "I'd like to ask you to introduce me. It's better to mediate and facilitate this."

"Take a picture?" Hearing this, Chen Yang recalled the recent controversy over Xiao Yao's identity as ys photographer in the media and on the Internet. As a person who has witnessed Xiao Yao's evil behavior when he was a child, Chen Yang believes in Xiao Yao, so the first time Chen Yang thinks that this is Xiao Yao, and he wants to respond to the controversy. But why the men's basketball national team?

"Why shoot for men's basketball players? What do you say? " Chen Yang asked Xiao Yao, "you know this kind of thing needs the consent of the leaders. If I want to persuade the leaders, I have to give them a reason to be convinced by me."

"The world championship is just around the corner. Take a group of photos for the men's basketball players to promote their image. Let's pay more attention to the national team and the world championship. At the same time, it's my encouragement for the men's basketball players. I'm responsible for the venue, staff and equipment. I don't charge any fees. If the effect can't satisfy the people who are responsible for the promotion of the men's basketball team, they can choose not to use it. " Xiao Yao did not want to answer, obviously prepared.

"I don't hide anything from you. Another thing is that I want to prove my ability as a photographer through this project. However, no matter what the result is, my goal for the national team, in addition to taking up a little personal time of the players, there will be no loss Xiao Yao added.

"Sounds like the reasons and the conditions are good." Chen Yang nodded with a smile.

Although Xiao Yao can't see Chen Yang's nod on the other end of the phone, Xiao Yao thinks it's possible from Chen Yang's tone.

"So you agreed?" Xiao Yao takes advantage of the heat to hit the railway.

"Basically, there's no problem," Chen Yang said, "but you can't leave it all to me. At least you have to come and see the leader in charge of publicity with me, show yourself in front of the leader, and talk about your ideas with the leader face to face. What's more, even if the leader agrees, the team members have to cooperate. You should also meet the players in advance, and it's better to get their approval in advance. I don't know about photography, but at least I know that photography needs the cooperation of photographers and models to produce good photos. "

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

"OK, you wait for my notice. I'll talk about this with the leaders and the team members in advance, and I'll let you know when I'll meet you." Chen Yang is not ambiguous.

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

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

As soon as we met, Chen Yang gave Xiao Yao a big hug. After Xiao Yao's warm response and repeated thanks, Chen Yang took Xiao Yao to meet with officials in charge of men's basketball propaganda.

As a sports official, I don't know as much about the performing arts and fashion circles as Chen Yang, the top sports star. Chen Yang, as the most successful basketball player in China, has a great influence in the basketball world. In addition, most of his career is spent in the United States. Xiao Yao, who is introduced here, is a famous photographer who has published many works in Europe and America. Therefore, although the official was surprised at Xiao Yao's immature face and his young age, he still believed Chen Yang's words.

Xiao Yao provides his own venues, personnel and equipment without any charge. In addition to requiring the team members to take time to take photos, he basically doesn't need the basketball management center to do any work. Even if the team members need to take time to take photos, Xiao Yao is very considerate in arranging the spare time that does not affect the normal training of the team members. If the photos are taken well and satisfied, the national team can take them for free for publicity. If the photos are not taken well or can't be seen, they can choose not to use them. So there seems to be no reason to refuse.

Finished leading officials here, Xiao Yaochang from the basketball management center gave a breath. Looking at Xiao Yao's relaxed face, Chen Yang couldn't help reminding him: "the leaders have done it, but the players haven't done it yet. You take up their spare time outside of training. Although the leaders said that they had to come, you want them to cooperate with you willingly and let you fully play, but it depends on your performance later. "

With that, Chen Yang greets Xiao Yao, who takes a taxi, to get into his car and take him straight to the basketball hall where the National Men's basketball team trains.
