Entertaining Children

As soon as the group photo was taken, Zhao Rui came over and put his arms around Xiao Yao, and announced to the students: "This is my exclusive photographer for today! If you want photographer Xiao to take a photo, come and take a photo with me! Boys, two hundred at a time, Girls are free!"

"Oh~ I'm bah!" The students wanted to cheer when they heard that Xiao Yao was asked to take pictures, but they all scolded with contempt when they heard Zhao Rui's charging standard behind.

"You asked me to take pictures of you, just to make money?" Xiao Yao shook his shoulders, shook off Zhao Rui's hand on his shoulders, and looked at him sideways.

"Ha, brothers have turned against each other!" Someone laughed and booed.

"Earn some pocket money by the way," Zhao Rui said with a smile, "we will share it equally then!"

"This can be considered," Xiao Yao nodded, "but your charging standard is too low! Do you know how much I charge for a photography project? Even if you give your classmates a discount, one Photos cost at least 20,000!"

"I'll go, these two brothers are more shameless than the other!" Zhao Rui's classmates shouted one after another.

"Shitou, why do boys charge for taking photos, but girls are free?" Sun Tingting suddenly asked with a smile.

Zhao Rui looked back and found that Sun Tingting was holding Zhu Zitong, and Zhu Zitong was looking at him with a half-smile. Zhao Rui quickly pulled Xiao Yao and said: "Because I know Bayi's temperament! I just want to ask girls to collect money, and your Bayi will definitely not do it!"

"I'll go! Don't use me as a shield!" Xiao Yao's face changed color, and he quickly pulled away to hide.

"Ha! Both brothers are so cowardly!" Seeing the performance of the two, everyone laughed happily.

The pair of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting has been publicized for a long time, and although the pair of Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong has not been made public in the media, they are very close in school and have not deliberately avoided it. The students in the department basically know the relationship between the two.

After a lot of laughing, everyone dispersed to take pictures. Asking students to collect money is of course a joke. Wearing a bachelor's uniform, Zhao Rui not only took a lot of photos with family and friends, but also took a lot of photos with classmates who have a good relationship in the same class and department.

There are separate places for each department to take graduation photos of the whole class. Zhao Rui's good friends in school are not only classmates from the same department and class, but also some students from other departments. After taking group photos with family, friends and classmates from the same department, Zhao Rui took Xiao Yao to other places to find some friends from other departments to take photos with.

In addition to taking photos with classmates and friends, Zhao Rui also went to some commemorative and iconic places such as the school gate, teaching building, dormitory building, and school motto to take photos alone.

After taking such a lap, it was already noon, and Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui also returned to the place where the performance department took group photos. All graduates must wear uniforms when they attend the graduation ceremony, but this uniform is temporarily given by the school to the students, and it must be returned to the school after the graduation ceremony. The latest time stipulated by the school to return the bachelor's uniform is twelve noon.

Zhao Rui went to the class monitor to return the academic uniform, and Xiao Yao looked through the photos in the camera. After a final check, Xiao Yao turned off the camera and took out the memory card in the camera.

When Zhao Rui returned his bachelor uniform, Xiao Yao handed him the memory card he took out and said, "Here, today's photo!"

"Give it to me like this?" Zhao Rui took the memory card and said, "Don't you need to do post-processing or something? There are many photos of other students in it."

Although Xiao Yao said that he was Zhao Rui's exclusive photographer, Zhao Rui and Xiao Yao would not refuse if other students called. Just now Xiao Yao also took photos for many other students by the way, and it was agreed that Zhao Rui would give them to them.

"On an occasion like today, all the photos taken belong to life, and what we want is a very natural and life-like state." Xiao Yao pouted, "Before taking pictures, I adjusted various photography parameters according to the environment, and tried my best to achieve it." It's the best. This is not a commercial photo shoot, what post-production is there? It looks fake after post-production? It's inappropriate!"

"I hear what you mean. I don't feel like I've had enough filming today?" Zhao Rui put his arms around Xiao Yao and smiled.

"A little indeed!" Xiao Yao nodded.

It's been a long time since I took a picture, and Xiao Yao's hands are indeed a little itchy, otherwise he wouldn't have wandered around Yandian campus to take pictures before the graduation ceremony. However, this kind of very life-like graduation photo is mainly for commemoration. It doesn't have much requirements for photography skills, and it can't show the photographer's skills. Xiao Yao really feels a bit unsatisfactory.

"That's just right! I don't think I've had enough photos!" Zhao Rui patted Xiao Yao's shoulder and smiled, "Wearing a bachelor's uniform is very ceremonial and commemorative, but they are all photos of wearing a bachelor's uniform. It’s a bit the same. There’s nothing to do in the afternoon, but in the evening the whole department has to have a break-up meal together. Why don’t we go back and stay here in the afternoon and continue to shoot something interesting?”

Xiao Yao thought about it, and said to Zhao Rui: "It's possible, but if you are alone, I can't make many tricks."

"Is it too rare to shoot me alone?" Zhao Rui said, "Then I'll find a few classmates to stay and shoot together! Anyway, everyone is basically fine in the afternoon."

"Models are not enough!" Xiao Yao shook his head.

"Who else do you want?" Zhao Rui asked.

"Your acting department is not the only one attending the graduation ceremony today, is it? Your department has dinner in the evening, and there is no arrangement in the afternoon. I think other departments should be similar." Xiao Yao said, "Why don't you contact Fu Huadao and other related majors? My classmates, see if there is anyone who has nothing to do in the afternoon, gather them together, and let's have a good time in the afternoon!"

"Convincing the way?" Zhao Rui was taken aback, "What do you want to do? Make a movie?"

"In one afternoon, it's not enough to shoot a short film with decent quality, right?" Xiao Yao raised the camera in his hand and said, "And I only brought a camera today, and I just want to take pictures."

"Then why do you want to obey Huadao?" Zhao Ruiqi said, "Our school has a theater, but we don't have a professional studio."

"Have you ever heard that I also shot something called a static film?" Xiao Yao asked, "The professional term is called a picture montage."

"Tell stories with photos?" Zhao Rui asked, "The "Li Qingzhao" you took for Tu Yiyuan?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Shooting static movies also requires convincing. That time I used an outdoor location given to me by Yanjing Satellite TV, both indoors and outdoors. This time I want to challenge it. Use outdoor scenes. The weather is fine today, and natural light is used outdoors. It does not require a professional lighting engineer, but it also needs to use lighting panels, reflectors, etc., and find some who understand these.”

"By the way, still movies have a plot!" Xiao Yao said again, "Remember to find a few classmates from the literature department, let's think of a story related to school and graduation together, and then shoot it in the form of a still movie. "

"Okay, I'll get in touch!" Zhao Rui said excitedly.

Yanjing Film Academy has talents from all walks of life. Zhao Rui's connections in school are good, he knows quite a few people, and his classmates are also very interested in this matter. It didn't take long for Zhao Rui to contact a group of people. Except that Xiao Yao himself was the director and cameraman, and no one else was hired, there were Fu Huadao, screenwriters, lighting assistants, and even scene recorders, all of whom were almost equivalent to a small crew.

Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui didn't go out for lunch at all, and called all the contacted people into a classroom at the school for a preparatory meeting. As for lunch, I just invited a classmate to go out and buy a boxed lunch, and everyone chatted and discussed while eating.

The first step is mainly to discuss the plot. Since it is in school, of course it is to tell the students' stories. Everyone has just graduated and is about to go their separate ways. This kind of feeling about youth and school days is the deepest time. It is not too difficult to come up with a similar script.

After discussing for about two hours at noon, Xiao Yao not only wrote the script based on the discussions of several screenwriters, but also drew the storyboard script based on the discussions of students majoring in art and clothing.

Then it is Fuhuadao and other departments to make preparations. Yandian has relevant majors, because it is also used in ordinary classes, and there are many such things as clothing, props and equipment in the school. Since I have just graduated and haven't left school yet, it is not a problem for everyone to go to the school to borrow something. As for makeup, many students have a full set of makeup and makeup tools in their dormitories, and students who know how to do makeup can just get them.

After everything was ready, a group of people started shooting enthusiastically.

This is a story about friendship and love. The story is not complicated, and it is a bit old-fashioned, but once it becomes a story that I participated in creating, everyone feels different. In many cases, we are not afraid of old-fashioned stories, the most important thing is the way and method of storytelling. Static movies are definitely a very special way of telling stories, so everyone's enthusiasm is very high.

The background of the story is limited to the school, mainly classrooms, dormitories, playgrounds, and tree-lined paths in the school. There are not too many photos taken, and there are only more than 20 pictures in total. However, everyone was not only enthusiastic, but also very serious. In addition, Xiao Yao, the director and photographer, also had more meticulous and strict requirements. The entire shooting took a whole afternoon.

"Ok! The shooting is complete!" After taking the last photo, Xiao Yao checked it on the camera's preview screen, and after finding that there was no problem, he happily raised his hands and announced.

"Wow~" All the people involved in the filming cheered and applauded.

"Thank you very much!" Xiao Yao bowed to everyone like the director in the crew to express his gratitude, "Everyone has worked hard!"

"Director Xiao, you have worked hard too!" Everyone laughed and bowed in return.

"For this static movie, I will not only upload it to photography websites, but also make videos in the form of slideshows and upload them to video websites and movie websites." Xiao Yao emphasized again, "Although this thing will not be used for commercial purposes, I will I will not give you any rewards, and I will never forget your hard work and dedication. I will make a complete cast and crew list later, and I will definitely not forget anyone's name!"

"So, do we now have masterpieces?" Someone laughed half-jokingly.

"Of course!" Xiao Yao nodded, "When you are looking for a job in the future, this still movie can also be included in your resume."

Although static movies are not film and television works such as movies and TV series, whether it is the acting skills of the actors or the ability level of the behind-the-scenes personnel of various departments, it is also reflected in it to a certain extent. With such a work, I believe it will be helpful to their future development in the industry, at least it can be regarded as a representative work.

"Thank you Director Xiao!" Everyone bowed and thanked Xiao Yao again.

"Don't, don't, don't," Xiao Yao waved his hands again and again, pulling Zhao Rui and said, "Thank Zhao Rui if you want to thank him! If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here today, and I wouldn't have thought of this idea. And I'm not from Yandian, and I didn't I don’t know you, I don’t know much about you. You were all found by him!”

Today, Xiao Yao suddenly thought of shooting still movies, which was also influenced to a certain extent by discussing with Zhao Rui and others that night about setting up a film and television production company and investing in TV drama projects. Although everyone persuaded Zhao Rui at the time, Xiao Yao could also understand Zhao Rui's mood. Otherwise, even if Xiao Yao felt that taking life photos was not fun, he would not immediately think of still movies.

When Xiao Yao mentioned this plan, Zhao Rui thought of it almost immediately. For the static film shot today, whether it was in front of or behind the scenes, Zhao Rui was looking for all graduates from the same class as him, and most of them were students who hadn't signed a contract and had nowhere to go for the time being.

"Zhao Rui, that's interesting!" Everyone said to Zhao Rui again.

"It's okay, it's just fun together!" Zhao Rui waved his hands again and again, pointing at Xiao Yao and said, "Although Xiao Yao thinks of it every time, the ideas he comes up with are usually very interesting. It’s just to get everyone together to do something fun. Speaking of it, I just helped him find a group of free laborers, but in fact this kid took advantage. If it weren’t for the event that each department has a break-up meal tonight, I would I want to take everyone to kill this local tyrant together!"

"If I go, I'll be slaughtered?" Xiao Yao clutched his chest and said with a frightened expression, "Fortunately, you still have dinner tonight!"

"That~ you are all from Yandian, you can handle the aftermath of clothing, equipment and equipment yourself, I'll slip away first!" Xiao Yao put the camera into the bag, and was about to run away.

"Don't go, don't go!" A girl from the acting department who participated in the filming held Xiao Yao and said, "Don't listen to Zhao Rui, we won't kill you, we invite you! Come and have dinner with us tonight!"

"Ah?" Xiao Yao said in amazement, "You guys are having a graduation dinner tonight, how can I go?"

"Why can't it?" said the girl holding Xiao Yao, "You and Zhao Rui have been best friends since childhood. Not only did you take group photos for our department and class in the morning, but you also took many of us individually. Graduation photos, I took such a still movie for us in the afternoon, we specially invite you to attend our graduation dinner as a guest to express our gratitude!"

After the release of this static film, the actors in front of the scene are definitely more likely to attract attention than the staff behind the scenes, and they must get more benefits. Not to mention that there is no pay, if there is no event tonight, these acting students would like to invite Xiao Yao to dinner. Since the graduation dinner at night must not be absent, it is better to invite Xiao Yao to go together. Anyway, with Zhao Rui's relationship, it would be fine if Zhao Rui brought a family member with him. In the future, everyone will be in the entertainment industry, and those other acting students who did not participate in the filming will not be disgusted with the appearance of Xiao Yao, a newcomer actor and director who is gaining momentum.

"Is it suitable?" Xiao Yao turned to look at Zhao Rui and asked.

"Appropriate!" A boy hurriedly answered before Zhao Rui opened his mouth, and then said to Zhao Rui, "Advise Xiao Yao to go with you! Everyone will be very happy to see you take Xiao Yao with you, no one will say anything!"

"Yes! Let's go together!" Several other students from the acting department said.

In fact, the students from several nearby departments also wanted to invite Xiao Yao to the graduation dinner, but firstly, none of them had a particularly close relationship with Xiao Yao like Zhao Rui, and secondly, Xiao Yao also studied acting, so they would definitely not be able to compete with acting. People in the department don't have unnecessary openings.

A total of seven or eight actors were used in the filming of the still film this time, and there were also seven or eight acting students present, almost half of whom were in the same class as Zhao Rui. Zhao Rui saw that no matter whether he was a classmate or not, everyone in the acting department was sincerely inviting Xiao Yao to go with him, and no one was silent. It is estimated that all the students were willing to let Xiao Yao go, so he also spoke to Xiao Yao. Yao said: "Then let's go together!"
