Entertaining Children

  Chapter 480 Still Movies

"Haha, you old Hong," Zhang Yunxing smiled and nodded Hong Andong. "Do you also know that Bayi and Yin Xi are cooperating together to build a fashion brand? You, the vice president in charge of external business, really better than me. The boss's news is still well-informed."

"Old Zhang, I didn't deliberately conceal this from you." Hong Andong stopped calling "Mr. Zhang" and directly changed to a more cordial address, "I look at the end of the year, you in the company There are too many things that need to be busy, and the external business is under my control and is within the scope of my responsibility, so I want to wait for this matter to be implemented before I report to you. I also want to try and rely on me alone. People’s face, can you win this business from Bayi? In case I’m not able to do it alone, I can get you on the road together."

"No, no," Zhang Yunxing waved his hand, "I didn't blame you for concealing my meaning. You are the vice president, and you have no obligation to report to me in detail. But you don't have to try your own face. Bayi came over this time. It was for this purpose. He took the initiative to come and ask us for someone. He said that at the press conference of Yin Xi’s studio, 16 catwalk models were ready to be selected from our company. ."

"That's great," Hong Andong also smiled, "This shows that Bayi still pretends to be our company. Although he has been attending the year-end conference for three consecutive years, he still thinks of us for the first time at the critical moment. Yin Xi Now it is our top model in China. She is going to launch a personal brand or a brand launched in cooperation with Bayi. The fashion circle must be very concerned. Our model can become her catwalk model, which is a very good publicity for our company. ."

"Yeah, we were just talking about this." Zhang Yunxing said, "I said that we will gather all the company's agents to have a meeting to discuss this matter, but Bayi does not want to have a meeting. Said it will be in the next week and March. In the first half of the year, he picked out all the model materials that had no business."

"Well, I have to come to our year-end conference. It seems that Bayi doesn't like meetings." Hong Andong said, "Since he doesn't want to have a meeting, he will not open it, and he will directly notify our company's agent. Let them send the suitable model information on their hands to Bayi to choose. If they can make runway models for Yin Xi and Bayi's brands, I think our company agents and their models should be unwilling. ."

   "Okay, then I will ask the secretary to notify the company's agent. If he is not in the company, he will call to notify him. No matter how bad he is, he can send the information by email." Zhang Yunxing stood up and said.

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

   "Huh?" Zhang Yunxing and Hong Andong both looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Do you have any additional conditions?"

   "No, there are no additional conditions." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "It's just that the matter is not clear."

   "Then you tell me." Zhang Yunxing said.

"I just said that I will have no business and free model information in the next week and early March. It's not just a selection for me and Yin Xi's brand conference." Xiao Yao said, "Actually, I have two models on hand. A project. Available in early March, I want a catwalk model, which is selected for the brand launch. I will be free in the next week, I want a flat model, and I want mostly male models. I am Prepared for one of my own photography projects."

"Your own photography project? In the next week?" Hong Andong asked strangely, "What brand of photography project? It shouldn't be a second- and third-rate brand or fashion publication that allows you to agree to it, but I haven't had it recently. I heard that there are any major domestic brands or publications that have photography projects. Wouldn't you be taking our company's models to shoot foreign projects? That would be even better."

"It's a domestic project, but it's not for the brand. It was promised to be shot for a TV show." Xiao Yao said, shook his head and said, "That's not accurate. Forget it, let me start from the beginning. That’s how it is. Yenching TV’s "Ancient Poetry Conference" program, do you know? I promised them to take a set of classical portraits for the last season’s champion of this program and put them on their program’s official website as a promotional photo."

"I know, I've watched this show. Haven't you also participated in the No. 1 Special Edition and won the championship of the No. 1 Special Edition?" Hong Andong said, "The last season's champion was a girl named Tu Yiyuan, who was the same age as you. Last year was the college entrance examination. No. 1 winner, the last of the No. 1 special edition is the PK between you two. But you took a photo of that little girl, why did you look for a model from our company? Take a group portrait? Our model does not have a contestant on that show, which is in line with the program group’s proposal The shooting requirements?"

“It’s really not very consistent, so it’s not accurate to say that we filmed them.” Xiao Yao said, “The Conference of Ancient Poems and Ci Poetry is a very popular program on Yanjing Satellite TV, and Tu Yiyuan came out of this program. Domineering internet celebrities" are very popular. I watched the show team because I wanted to make Tu Yiyuan a business card for this show, so they attached great importance to this photo shoot. In addition to requiring Tu Yiyuan’s portrait to be a classical grace that matches their show Style, and promised to be responsible for providing me with costume props and venue. I thought about Tu Yiyuan’s shooting plan yesterday. Since there are ready-made costume props and venues, in addition to taking a personal photo of Tu Yiyuan according to the requirements of the program group , I also plan to make another still film with Tu Yiyuan as the protagonist. I need to select some people from our company’s models to act as supporting roles."

  "Static movie?" Both Hong Andong and Zhang Yunxing asked in a puzzled way, "What is that?"

"In professional terms, it is called picture montage," Xiao Yao said. "In short, it is to tell a story with photos. Generally, the reason why the movies we watch are dynamic is to show film films at a speed of 24 frames per second. Achieved. To put it bluntly, a two-hour movie, seven thousand two hundred seconds, is composed of 172,800 pieces of film. And a static movie does not need hundreds of thousands of pieces of film to form one. A movie, but uses a dozen or dozens of photos to express a story."

Xiao Yao continued, "Static movies are different from general portraits. They are the same as making movies. The script, costumes, actors, and props are all the same. I can write the script myself. Now someone provides me with costumes. Prop venue, I just need to find actors."

  "Do you still write scripts?" Zhang Yunxing asked in surprise.

   "Yes, I have not only written scripts, but also worked as a director." Xiao Yao laughed.

"I know that. The TV series that your family cooperated with Winter Sunshine is the script you wrote. You have also been the director and made the MV." Hong Andong said, "But since it's the same as making a movie, shouldn't you find a film and television actor? ?Why are you looking for a model?"

"Because it is not the same as making a movie. It only has a dozen or dozens of photos. These photos should have the visual effect of a hard photo, which can give people a shock, not like ordinary movie screenshots. So. What I need is not a film and television actor with dynamic acting in front of the camera lens, but a model with static expression in front of the camera lens.

  In fact, picture montage is also a required course for film director majors, but in this world, no photographers have used it as a photography project. Directing students are not necessarily professional photographers, and not many people will make photo montages comparable to hard shots in order to complete their homework. Naturally, not many people will use professional flat models to shoot static images. the film. But I am different. I am a professional photographer, I read film and television major, I have been a director, I can play like this. "

   "Sounds very interesting," Zhang Yunxing and Hong Andong nodded at the same time.

Zhang Yunxing said: "Since it is your own project and you are playing new tricks that no one else has played before, we must fully support it. I think the company's agents and models will also want to participate in your project. "

"That's not necessarily true," Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head. "Go to be a runway model for the brand launch of Yin Xi and me. We pay according to the rules and do what we do. The specific price is your agent. You can talk to Yin Xi, I am only in charge of picking people. But my own static movie project, this is my personal attempt, purely for fun, I have not thought of any commercial use, so the graphic model of this project is not paid You can take this. You have to make it clear to the agent and their models."

  Although the static expressive power of professional models in front of the camera lens is relatively strong, those professional film and television actors usually take various promotional photos, and their performance in photography is actually very good. However, when Xiao Yao made the short film "The Tuner", he has already brushed up his resources in film and television actors. The wave of actors that he pulled in that time did not pay for the film. If this static film is still professional Xiao Yao felt a little embarrassed when the actors came to play for free.

  "You are a model who wants to be free." Zhang Yunxing understood, and laughed and joked, "Your boss is really silly."

"No way, I'm poor!" Xiao Yao said with both hands, "I have invested all of the company’s dividends this year in other places. The static movie I made this time is the theme of ancient costumes, and there is no way for the Farah manufacturer to do planting. Entering an advertisement, this thing is not an ordinary movie. No one has played it like this before. I don’t know if it can be sold after shooting, so I can only regard it as my own fun work, not a commercial work. I haven’t seen my costume props. Do you dare to open this project if the venue is cheaper than other programs?"

  Xiao Yao has seen two static movies in his previous life, namely "Xin Jin Ping Mei" and "Chibi Tongque Terrace". Those photos look beautiful and amazing, but the characters inside are too **** and revealing. The highlights are the beautiful backs, long legs and big "steamed buns" of the female models in the pictures. Xiao Yao didn't plan to make a static movie of that style. His protagonist was Tu Yiyuan, and he couldn't make it into that large-scale **** style.

  After talking with Tu Yiyuan, Xiao Yao discovered that the ancient talented woman Tu Yiyuan admired most was Li Qingzhao, a poetess of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, Tu Yiyuan is not very familiar with Li Qingzhao's life, she is also very similar to Li Qingzhao's temperament. There is not only the grace of Li Qingzhao's poems, but also the impassionedness of Li Qingzhao's poems. Xiao Yao himself also admired Li Qingzhao, the "first talented woman in the ages", so he planned to use Tu Yiyuan as the protagonist to make a static film about Li Qingzhao's life.

   Although Tu Yiyuan is a "student-dominant internet celebrity", she is not an entertainer in the entertainment industry after all. Moreover, Li Qingzhao’s life story is far less entertaining than Jin Pingmei and Tongquetai. In addition, his static film does not have large-scale pictures to attract attention. Therefore, Xiao Yao’s “money” for this static film is still not as entertaining. There is really no confidence.
