Chapter 480

"Ha ha, you old Hong," Zhang Yunxing said with a smile, "do you know that Bayi and Yin Xi are working together on fashion brands? You, the vice president in charge of foreign business, are more informed than me. "

"Lao Zhang, I didn't mean to hide this from you." Hong Antong even stopped calling "general manager Zhang" and said, "I look at the end of the new year. There are too many things you need to be busy with in the company. The external business is my responsibility. So I want to report it to you after it is implemented. I also want to try to win this business from Bayi with my face. If I can't do it alone, I'll take you with me. "

"No, no," Zhang Yunxing waved his hand, "I don't blame you for keeping it from me. You are the vice president, and you have no obligation to report everything to me. However, you don't have to try your own face. Bayi came here this time. It was for this reason that he took the initiative to ask us for help. He said that at the press conference of Yin Xi's studio, 16 T-stage models were going to be selected from our company. "

"That's good," Hong Anton said with a smile. "It shows that Bayi still has our company in mind. Although he has participated in the year-end meeting for three years in a row, he thought of us for the first time at the critical moment. Yin Xi is now the top model in China. She wants to launch a personal brand or a brand jointly launched with Bayi. The fashion circle must pay close attention to her. Our model can become her T-stage model, which is a very good publicity for our company. "

"Yes, we were just talking about that." Zhang Yunxing said, "I said let's call up the company's agents to hold a meeting to discuss this matter, but Bayi didn't want to hold a meeting. He said that in the coming week and the first ten days of March, he would select all the models without business

"Well, I have to come to our year-end meeting. It seems that Bayi doesn't like meetings." Hong An said, "since he doesn't want to hold a meeting, he won't open it. Just inform the agent of our company about this matter and let them send the suitable model information to Bayi. If you can model for Yin Xi and Bayi's brands, I think our company's agents and their models are not reluctant. "

"OK, then I'll ask the Secretary to inform the company's agent. If he is not in the company, he can call and send the information by email Zhang Yunxing got up and said.

"Wait a minute," said Xiao Yao, holding out his hand to stop Zhang Yunxing. "Uncle Zhang, uncle Hong, I haven't finished what I just said."

"Well?" Zhang Yunxing and Hong Anton both looked at Xiao Yao and said, "what additional conditions do you have?"

"No, no strings attached." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "it's just that I didn't make it clear."

"Say it." Zhang Yunxing said.

"I just said that I would have no business and free model information in the coming week and early March, but it's not just about selecting people for the brand launch of Yin Xi and me." In fact, I have two projects on hand. When I'm free in early March, I want T-stage models for the brand launch. The next week free, I want a graphic model, and I want a male model in the majority. I'm preparing for a photography project of my own. "

"Your own photography project? In the next week? " Hong Antong said strangely, "what brand of photography project? It's not the second and third rate brands or fashion magazines that can make you promise to sell. But I haven't heard of any big brands or magazines in China that have photography projects recently. You are not going to take our company's models to shoot foreign projects, are you? That would be better. "

"It's a domestic project, but it's not for the brand. It's for a TV program." Xiao Yao said, shaking his head again, "that's not accurate. Forget it. I'll start from the beginning. That's what happened. Do you know about the program "ancient poetry conference" of Yanjing satellite TV? I promised them to take a set of classical portraits for the champion of the last season of this program and put them on their official website for publicity photos. "

"I know. I've seen it. Haven't you ever participated in the number one special and won the number one special Hong An said, "last season's champion was a girl named Tu Yiyuan, who was just as old as you. Last year, she was also the number one in the college entrance examination. At the end of the number one special is your PK. But why do you want a model from our company to take a photo of that little girl? Take group photos? The models in our company don't have any contestants in that program. Does this meet the shooting requirements of the program team? "

"It's really not very consistent, so it's not accurate to say that they were photographed." Xiao Yaodao said, "the ancient poetry conference is a high ratings program of Yanjing satellite TV, and Tu Yiyuan is the" Xueba type network red "of this program, which is very popular. I think the program team wants to make Tu Yiyuan a business card of this program, so they attach great importance to this photo shooting. In addition to asking Tu Yiyuan's portraits to be classical and graceful style matching their programs, she also promised to provide me with costume props and venues. Yesterday, when I conceived Tu Yiyuan's shooting plan, I had an idea. 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 make a static film with Tu Yiyuan as the protagonist. I need to select some people from our company's models as supporting roles. ""Still movies?" Hong Anton and Zhang Yunxing are puzzled, "what is that?"

"In a professional way, it's called picture montage," Xiao Yao said. "In short, it's about telling stories with pictures. In general, the reason why movies we watch feel dynamic is to show film at the speed of 24 frames per second. To put it bluntly, a two-hour movie, 7200 seconds, is made up of 172800 films. The static film is not more than 100000 pieces of film to form a film, but a dozen or dozens of photos to show a story

Xiao Yao continued, "static film is different from general photo. It's the same as making a film. Scripts, costumes, actors and props are all indispensable. I can write my own scripts. Now someone has provided me with a venue for costumes and props. I just need to find actors. "

"Can you still write scripts?" Zhang Yunxing was surprised.

"Yes, I've not only written scripts, but also been a director." Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"I know that the TV play your family cooperated with winter sunshine is the one you wrote, and you have also made MV as your own director." "But since it's the same as making movies, shouldn't you look for movie actors? Why are you looking for models? "

"Because it's different from making a movie, it only has a dozen or dozens of photos. These photos should have the general visual effect of hard photos, which can shock people, not just like ordinary movie screenshots. So what I need is not a movie actor with dynamic acting skills in front of the camera, but a model with static expression in front of the camera.

In fact, picture montage is also a compulsory course for students majoring in film directing, but no photographer in the world has ever taken it as a photography project. Students majoring in directing are not necessarily professional photographers, and few of them will make montages into blockbusters comparable to hard photos in order to complete their homework. Naturally, not many of them will use professional graphic models to make still movies. But I'm not the same. I'm a professional photographer. I majored in film and television. I've been a director. I can play like this. "

"It sounds interesting," Zhang Yunxing and Hong Anton nodded at the same time.

Zhang Yunxing said: "since it's your own project and it's playing new tricks that others haven't played, we will definitely give our full support. I think the agents and models of the company will also want to participate in your project."

"That's not necessarily," Xiao Yao said, shaking his head with a smile. "Go to work as a T-stage model for the brand launch of Yin Xi and me. We pay according to the rules. We can do what we should do. Your agent can talk with Yin Xi about the specific price. I'm only responsible for selecting people. But my own static film project, which is my personal attempt, is purely for fun, and I haven't thought of any commercial use at the moment, so the graphic model of this project is not paid. You have to talk to the agents and their models about that

Although professional models have strong static expression in front of the camera lens, those professional film and television actors usually take all kinds of publicity photos, and their performance in photography is also very good. However, when making the short film "tuner", Xiao Yao has already brushed his resources in the field of film and television actors. The actors he pulled in that time did not pay for the film. If this static film still allows professional actors to play for free, Xiao Yao feels a little embarrassed.

"You want a free model." Zhang Yunxing understood and said with a smile, "your boss is really stingy."

"No way, I'm poor!" Xiao Yao said, "I've invested all the company's dividend money in other places this year. The static film I shot this time is about ancient costume, and there is no placement advertisement made by Farah manufacturer. It's not an ordinary film. No one has ever played like this before, and I don't know if I can sell it. So I can only regard it as my own funny work, not a commercial work. I don't see that my clothing and props venues have to take advantage of other people's program groups to open this project? ”

Xiao Yao saw two static films in his previous life, namely "Xin Jin Ping Mei" and "Red Cliff Tongque Tai". Those photos look gorgeous and amazing, but the characters in them are too sexy and exposed. The main points are the beautiful back, big long legs and big "steamed bread" of the female model in the picture. Xiao Yao doesn't plan to make a static movie of that style. His protagonist is Tu Yiyuan, and he can't make a sexy movie of that large scale.

After chatting with Tu Yiyuan, Xiao Yao found that the ancient talented woman Tu Yiyuan most admired was Li Qingzhao, a poetess of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, Tu Yiyuan is not very familiar with Li Qingzhao's life, and her temperament is very similar to that of Li Qingzhao. There are not only the tact in Li Qingzhao's poems, but also the generosity in Li Qingzhao's poems. Xiao Yao himself is also very appreciative of Li Qingzhao, the "most talented woman of all ages", so he plans to make a static film about Li Qingzhao's life with Tu Yiyuan as the protagonist.

Although Tu Yiyuan is a "Xueba net star", she is not an entertainer in the entertainment industry after all. Moreover, Li Qingzhao's life story is far less entertaining than that of Jin Ping Mei and Tong que Tai. In addition, his static film has no large-scale pictures to attract attention, so Xiao Yao really has no confidence in the "money" path of this static film.
