Entertaining Children

  Chapter 680 Special Photographer

  The following day, many media appeared related reports on this CCTV disaster relief party. A comprehensive and detailed introduction to the sponsors of the disaster relief party, the star lineup involved, the content of the party and the results achieved. In addition to the very eye-catching figures of the donation amount and the interspersed broadcast of earthquake relief videos that tell very touching relief stories in the disaster area, there is also a big feature that surpasses the super-luxury star lineup of the Spring Festival Gala. Many film and television singers who usually play the leading role have gathered in a show, and they voluntarily performed a cantata with everyone.

In this ultra-luxury star lineup, the most impressive and impressive is not a certain national treasure-level old artist, nor is it a big-name film and television superstar who donated millions again on the spot, but only twenty years old. Young man Xiao Yao. Therefore, in the follow-up media reports, Xiao Yao also became the star who was mentioned the most times by the media in this evening party. Basically, when all the media reported on this CCTV disaster relief party, they inevitably mentioned Xiao Yao's deeds in the disaster area introduced by the host at the party and Xiao Yao's performance at the party.

There are more than 200 first-line big-name stars in the CCTV disaster relief party. Whether it is fame or status, let alone Xiao Yao, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying are inconspicuous among the group of people, but they are not only given to Xiao Yao at the party. An opportunity to perform, after the media reported on the stars of the evening party, they were basically focused on Xiao Yao. If you haven't watched this party, many people will find it very incredible, but after watching the party, it will feel very logical.

  So, Xiao Yao naturally became popular again. After the disaster relief party was broadcast, various media interviews, TV program interviews, and various commercial endorsements and performance invitations also came again. It was not that Xiao Yao had never experienced this kind of battle before, and it was not once or twice that he made such an explosion. With Xiao Yao's urination and consistent style, he has no interest in taking advantage of the fire to accept interviews and participate in commercial performances. For those invitations, Xiao Yao basically rejected them, but not all of them, because one of them. The invitation came from a very special unit, which also aroused the great interest of Xiao Yao.

   "What? Xinhua News Agency invited me to the Yanjing headquarters for an interview? What to talk about?" Xiao Yao was extremely surprised when he heard the news from Fang Li's mouth. The Xinhua News Agency in this world is the same as the previous life. It is China’s national news agency. It is a statutory news regulatory agency and can be called a national mouthpiece. What should such a unit discuss with its star in the entertainment industry?

"Of course I'm talking about your photographic works." Fang still smiled. "The pictures of the rescue scene that you took out at the disaster relief party are no worse than those taken by the on-site photojournalists sent by Xinhua News Agency to cover the earthquake disaster. They thought Isn’t it normal to talk to you?"

"There are two things they want to talk to you this time." Fang still apparently communicated with the other party in advance, and then went on to say, "The first is that China Photo Agency, a direct subsidiary of Xinhua News Agency, wants to include you this time. Those photos taken at the earthquake rescue site need your authorization. The second thing is that their photojournalism editorial department wants to hire you as their photojournalist."

"The first thing is okay. They just use it. The authorization is very simple." Xiao Yao said, "But the second thing, I am a singer who studies acting. They asked me to change my career to be a reporter? How is this possible?"

"It's not impossible." Fang still said, "Aren't you a photojournalist for National Geographic? Why can't you be a reporter? Of course, considering your identity, they don't want you to be that kind of organization. The full-time reporters inside, but hired outside to invite you to be a special photojournalist. They will not arrange specific interview tasks for you, but if you encounter an emergency similar to this earthquake in the future, and you happen to be there Under circumstances, they hope that you can send them first-hand live pictures and reports as soon as possible, instead of first handing the photos to foreign media for news reports."

   "It turns out that they were stimulated by this incident." Xiao Yao smiled, "If you don't assign me specific tasks, just let me be a "non-staff", it is not impossible to discuss."

  In fact, Xiao Yao’s current cooperative relationship with the two foreign media is also the same. They gave Xiao Yao relevant certificates to facilitate his actions, but did not assign him specific work tasks, nor did they pay him a fixed salary. Only when Xiao Yao had good photography works for them and were adopted by them, They will be paid according to the situation.

  Chen Xuan is a photographer. He has a lot of IDs for the photojournalists and contract photographers. He has no financial worries, and he doesn't care about treatment. What he cares about is that he can bring himself a lot of convenience while having full freedom, and he won't tie himself up. The identities of his photojournalists and contracted photographers are all this form of cooperation with a high degree of freedom. Although Xiao Yao is not a full-time photographer, his situation is similar to that of Chen Xuan, and he doesn't even want to be restrained than Chen Xuan. So when Chen Xuan helped Xiao Yao get the two documents, he used this kind of cooperation method. .

"But I'm a photographer at best. A special photojournalist of Xinhua News Agency must be a reporter at least, right? I don't have a press card. Xinhua News Agency is a national unit, not a commercial magazine like "National Geographic", Chen Xuan said. That said, he gave me a photojournalist's ID." Xiao Yao continued.

  The so-called special reporters refer to those who are not part of the editorial department, but are outside the agency or outside the station, who should be appointed to newspapers, news agencies, or radio and television stations to complete certain interview tasks. They do not have an organization in the news unit, and they do not receive the salary of the news unit. They are personnel from outside units that the news unit has invited for special news writing tasks such as a certain item, a certain industry, a certain region, and so on. In China, such external special reporters are generally full-time reporters from other news organizations.

"I don't know much about this." Fang still shrugged. "Maybe they will ask you to take a qualification certificate first, and then make an exception to issue you a press card. Maybe they didn't hire you as a special photojournalist, but Please be a special photographer. Specifically, it depends on the results of your interview."

   "Okay, let's talk about it." Xiao Yao nodded excitedly.

  Xinhua News Agency is China’s largest news agency in China. Even if it’s just a special photographer, it still has credentials. It will be able to bring him great convenience to enter certain areas. Xiao Yao is naturally very willing. For Xiao Yao, there is nothing to do with the exam, even if it is a journalist qualification certificate, there is no problem at all. But the real journalist card requires that you have worked in a formal news agency for more than one year after obtaining the qualification certificate. Later, if they can apply for it by their unit, if they can take this opportunity to make an exception and give themselves a press card, and they can go to more places in the future, it will be a huge profit.

  Although Xinhua News Agency fancy Xiao Yao unavoidably because Xiao Yao is a star, but in this matter, both Xiao Yao and Fang still feel that Xiao Yao is not suitable to talk to others as a star. And this kind of decision-making has always been made by Xiao Yao himself, so after Fang still contacted Xiao Yao for the time to meet, Xiao Yao did not lead Fang to still be with Pei Minyi, and appeared alone at the agreed time. The headquarters building of Xinhua News Agency.

  After registering at the guard and explaining his intentions, a young man soon came out and led Xiao Yao in.

  Although Xiao Yao didn't regard himself as a star, the ranks of the leaders who met with Xiao Yao this time were quite high. In a meeting room, the four leaders who came to interview with Xiao Yao were the deputy president, deputy editor-in-chief of Xinhua News Agency, the editor-in-chief of the photojournalism editorial department, and the president of the directly affiliated company "Hua Xia Photo Agency".

  Generally speaking, it is not necessary to hire a special photographer. But Xiao Yao was a righteous young man who bravely fought against sword-bearing gangsters on the subway. He played with the folk music troupe to promote traditional Chinese folk music and culture. He gave ten songs from the military troupe, "The Great Wall" and "Heir of the Dragon" at one go. It also greatly promoted the inheritance of the national spirit of the country. Although it was not mentioned in the media, his name has already passed into the ears of many senior leaders.

At the CCTV disaster relief party initiated by many government departments and watched by big leaders on the spot, the program group had so much courage and arranged the host to meet Xiao Yao, a young newcomer in the entertainment industry, with so many old artists and big-name stars. For so long on-site interviews, he was given a chance to show on his own, and he was left to design his own stage performances. In addition to what Xiao Yao did in the disaster area, this aspect was also considered by the program team.

Now Xiao Yao is invited to talk about photo authorization and special photographers or reporters. Logically speaking, it is enough for the editor-in-chief of the editorial department of photojournalism and the president of "China Photo Agency" to come forward, but the deputy director and deputy editor-in-chief After hearing that Xiao Yao had arrived, the two big men came over and took a look curiously.

  The two big guys came to watch, shook hands with Xiao Yao and sat aside. The bosses of the two relevant departments will have specific discussions with Xiao Yao on related matters.

  The first thing I talked about was the collection of photos by the photo agency. This matter is easy to talk about. Although Xiao Yao also does commercial photography projects, his main source of income is not from selling photos. This time the photo agency will include all the photos he took on the scene of the earthquake-stricken area, which can be regarded as a kind of public welfare photography. The photo agency included these photos as long as the right to use the photos was not involved in Xiao Yao's signature and ownership, so Xiao Yao generously granted the authorization for free.

  The matter of photography works was quickly discussed, and then it is time to talk about the identity of photographers and even photojournalists. Although this matter was brought up by the Xinhua News Agency and Xiao Yao was also very interested, no matter whether it is a special photographer or a special photojournalist, it cannot be settled by simply taking a picture of his head.

  For state units such as Xinhua News Agency, even such special non-staff personnel cannot be set casually. Even if it is a person registered with the boss above, the investigation and assessment that should be done are still to be done.

  I can’t talk about political trials, but basic background checks still need to be done. The three generations of Xiao Yao’s grandparents are all celebrities. His grandfather is an old artist close to the national treasure level. His father has no bad record. His biological mother is an orphan, his stepmother is a well-known actor, and his stepmother’s parents are innocent intellectuals. Difficult to check, naturally there is no problem.

  In addition to family background, another aspect that needs to be investigated and understood is Xiao Yao's ability. They are not looking for mascots when they look for special photographers and reporters. Although they will not arrange work specifically, once something happens, they still hope that Xiao Yao can really play a role.

The photos released at the    Disaster Relief Party are undoubtedly of a very high standard, but being able to perform at a high standard this time does not mean that you can perform at a high standard every time. What they need is professional photographers who can consistently and consistently perform at a high level. Since Xiao Yao broke the news that he had published photographs under the YS signature since he was nine years old, the agency also specially collected and sorted out all the YS signature photographs and carefully evaluated them. From those works, we can basically see the improvement and development of this YS's photography level. Probably from when Xiao Yao was in middle school, he can basically reach the level of a professional photographer.

  These are all investigations done in the early stage. With the results of these investigations, the agency put forward the idea of ​​hiring Xiao Yao as a special photographer and was approved at the meeting, but to really make a final decision, it still requires some face-to-face contact.

  Photographic matters are discussed by the president of the photo agency, and photographic matters are naturally discussed by the editor-in-chief of the photojournalism editorial department. The editor-in-chief named Zeng Kexi is also a photojournalist. He is very proficient in photography. It is very natural for him to bring topics to photography when he speaks. This Zeng Kexi is a senior photojournalist who has won a photojournalism award and worked as a war correspondent. He prefers to report on current events rather than fashion photography. So in the process of chatting, it also unknowingly brought up big topics such as the world pattern.

What everyone didn’t expect was that Xiao Yao not only talked to the editor-in-chief about photographic equipment and photographic technology, but was able to talk to this senior who was over half a hundred years old, even when it came to the current world situation. There is something to say. Especially in the chaotic African region, which countries and regions are relatively safer, which places are more dangerous, which governments are more pro-China, and which governments are not very good at dealing with China, Xiao Yao is also a treasure.

  Of course, this is also because people in Xinhua News Agency did not know that Xiao Yao’s photography teacher was also a war reporter. Chen Xuan took Xiao Yao to Africa. Although there was no unreliable way to take Xiao Yao to dangerous war-torn areas, he stayed in safer and far away from war-torn areas, but he also told Xiao Yao in more detail at the time. Past the situation there and the forces of all parties. Xiao Yao was also very interested in those places at the time. Although he didn't rush to those places mortally, he still kept paying attention to those places.

  After such a conversation, all four people present looked at Xiao Yao, the young man with admiration. If it weren’t for Xiao Yao’s celebrity status and said that he would not give up his development in the entertainment industry, everyone would like to officially recruit this young man who has shown good skills on the scene of the disaster area into the agency and be sent to Kenya after being trained as an official reporter. Africa Headquarters.

   But even if he can't become an official Xinhua News Agency reporter, there is no obstacle to hiring him as a special photographer.

  At this time, Xiao Yao also took advantage of the situation and put forward the request of a special photojournalist. There are hard requirements to be a reporter. When the editor-in-chief Zeng put forward these hard requirements, Xiao Yao immediately said that there is no problem with the examination for the qualification certificate, but the conditions for one year of employment are really unattainable. I asked these big press Is there any way to accommodate.

  At this time, the deputy editor of Xinhua News Agency, who seems to be interested in being a journalist by Xiao Yao, came forward to examine Xiao Yao’s basic issues in journalism. These questions are not too difficult. They were well prepared. Xiao Yao, who had eaten a few basic journalism books before coming here, answered them without any burden.

  So the deputy editor-in-chief who was impressed by Xiao Yao's performance made a decision: Now, Xinhua News Agency can only give Xiao Yao the identity of a special photographer. Xiao Yao obtained the qualification certificate of editors and reporters as soon as possible, and then gave them six news reports within one year that were enough to appear in their newspapers. If it can be done, then a year later, their Xinhua News Agency will help Xiao Yao apply for a press card and hire him as a special photojournalist.

   Xiao Yao confidently agreed to the conditions put forward by the deputy editor-in-chief.
