Entertaining Children

  Chapter 702 Fashion Week

   "It's just a few songs, how much money can I pit?" Xiao Yao said disdainfully, "I don't rely on selling songs for food."

   "Okay, let's not talk about this. Anyway, someone is responsible for the specific price issues, and I don't need to take care of it," Chen Yang turned the subject, "tell me about other things."

   "Anything else?" Xiao Yao asked.

  "The team leader in charge of the women's national basketball team said that you promised to take promotional photos for the women's basketball players for free?" Chen Yang asked, "Is there anything like this?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao admitted, "In the training class before the charity match, Sister Nuo made such a request to me, and I agreed. Just like taking photos of the men's basketball team a few years ago, I used equipment, venues and clothing. The basketball players only need to take the time to shoot. Does your leader have any opinions?"

"You are such a big-name photographer taking pictures of our women's basketball girls for free. Of course we have no objection." Chen Yang laughed, "When and where do you plan to shoot? We will arrange the women's basketball players then. Of the time."

"This time is different from the last time I took photos of the men's basketball team." Xiao Yao said, "The last time I rented a studio in Yanjing, I hired the staff for temporary equipment. Now Yin Xi's studio has a studio. The equipment and personnel are readily available and I can use them, so this time I plan to invite the women's basketball players to come to Shencheng to shoot in the studio of Yin Xi's studio."

"That's okay," Chen Yang laughed. "There are still a few months before the Women's Basketball World Championships, and the national team has not yet started training. We will put the women's basketball training in Shanghai at the beginning of next year. It’s convenient for you to take pictures, and you don’t have to run the whole team to Shanghai from other places."

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head. "It hasn't been long since the World Championships started when I took photos of the men's basketball team. It was also temporarily rented venue equipment and temporarily hired shooting staff, so I finished the shooting in five days. Fifteen players. There are still a few months away from next year’s Women’s Basketball World Championship. The venue equipment and staff are from Yin Xi’s studio. There is no need to rush like taking photos of the men’s basketball team. I plan to start next month. Start to prepare the shooting plan, shoot in advance, and shoot slowly."

"Starting next month?" Chen Yang hesitated. "The new training list of the women's basketball national team has not yet come out. We have not even determined which 15 players will participate in the Women's Basketball World Championship next year. , How do you start shooting next month?"

"Shoot one by one," Xiao Yao smiled. "Although the training list has not yet been determined, you always have the general framework? There are definitely no doubts about the main players of national teams such as Chen Nuo and Xu Yue. Only a few marginal figures need to be investigated. You have told me the list of players in the scope of the investigation, in order of the possibility of being selected for the national team. I put the players who will definitely be selected for the national team in the front and take pictures. The characters are shot at the back."

“This time I won’t shoot three people a day like the last time the men’s basketball team did. I plan to shoot slowly and make a shooting plan for one player. Shoot one at most. There will be a time interval in between. The whole cycle will be It’s longer.” Xiao Yao continued, “Maybe your national team list came out before I finished filming the players who were determined to be selected? It doesn’t matter if I didn’t come out at that time, the big deal is to shoot a few more people. After you wait for the list to be determined, you can selectively publish according to the final national team list. Those who can enter the scope of your investigation, even if they are not selected for the national team in the end, they must be domestic star players. Let them take those photos to the magazine There will be no problem with publishing, and there will never be a waste."

   "I heard you say that, it seems to be okay." Chen Yang smiled and nodded, then joked, "How do I feel that you are more attentive to the girls in the women's basketball team than the boys in the men's basketball team?"

"The time and the environment are different, okay?" Even though Chen Yang couldn't see it, Xiao Yao couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Besides, I am a male. I compare it to the ladies of the women's basketball team. Is there anything weird about the rough guys in the basket?"

   "Hey, you are still honest!" Chen Yang smiled, and then continued, "Since you are so good to the women's basketball girls, how about doing something for them?"

   "What's the matter?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Write a song!" Chen Yang said, "These four songs you wrote for the professional league this time are all good, so the leader in charge of the women's basketball team has an idea, that is to ask you to write another song for the women's basketball players. Either cheer for them, or do it for them, anyway, it will be used for promotion when they go to the Women's Basketball World Championship next year. No need for more, one song is enough!"

   "Write a song for the women's basketball players?" Xiao Yao thought for a while. With more than four months to go before the Women's Basketball World Championships, he could get another song out, and he promised, "No problem!"

   "Fresh!" Chen Yang praised, and then said, "And..."

   "More?" Xiao Yao interrupted Chen Yang, "Five songs! Brother Yang, don't you want to squeeze me out once you catch me?"

"That's right," Chen Yang laughed. "How many songs have you played in the months from the beginning of the "Singer" program to the end of the summer vacation? Who doesn't know that you are a talented musical genius, want you Why do five songs squeeze you? Besides, this time I am not looking for you to sing, but to give you a chance to show your face in front of fans across the country."

   "What performance opportunity?" Xiao Yao asked.

"The opening game of this year's league is the East China Sea Sharks at home against Yanjing Steel. Before the game, we arranged an opening performance, and we plan to let you go on stage to sing the league theme song "Believe in Yourself"." Chen Yang said, "This is not for you to show your face. A chance? In the last charity match, you had to play, so we invited Lin Jin to do the opening performance. You don’t have to play this time. It’s the league theme song you wrote yourself. You won’t refuse it again, right? "

   "This, I really can't go!" Xiao Yao smiled, "I have no time."

"No time? Didn't you say that there are no commercial performances and announcements, and it is very free?" Chen Yang said strangely, "The league matches are all on weekends, and they do not conflict with the time of your school class. What can't you do? ?"

"The last time you asked me was the National Day holiday in early October, not the time at the end of October." Xiao Yao smiled, "This time it has nothing to do with the school, nor is it a business show. The end of the month is New York Fashion Week. , I'm going to the United States to watch a fashion show, and by the way, pick clothes for the women's basketball players. I have already decided after I promised Chen Nuo to take photos of the women's basketball team. Now the air tickets are booked, and the itinerary in the United States is also It's arranged, it's not easy to cancel!"

  In terms of clothing for promotional photos, men usually wear formal wear, and women have more choices than men. When taking photos of the men's basketball teammates, Xiao Yao found six brands and prepared one for each of the fifteen men's basketball players. A total of fifteen sets of formal attire were completed. The time for shooting the women’s basketball players is very abundant. Xiao Yao doesn’t plan to prepare a costume for the women’s basketball players alone. Moreover, the list of the national team has not yet been determined. Xiao Yao may have more than fifteen people to be photographed. There are even more costumes to be prepared. At the end of the month, there was New York Fashion Week, so Xiao Yao decided to look for inspiration at Fashion Week.

   "Huh?" Chen Yang didn't know what to say in the face of Xiao Yao's reason for being so high-sounding.

  "It is not necessary to sing the theme song for the opening game. It would be nice to ask Liang Xueying to sing "Fighter"." Xiao Yao suggested.

"Well, okay." Seeing that Xiao Yao didn't mean to change his mind, Chen Yang had no choice but to say, "Let's send someone to contact Liang Xueying's team." In the four songs, Xiao Yao participated in the three capitals. , Xiao Yao couldn't go, the only choice left was the song that Liang Xueying sang solo.

This kind of thing is not in charge of Chen Yang, the vice chairman of the Basketball Association. Because it is Xiao Yao, Chen Yang will mention it by the way. If Liang Xueying is invited to perform, it will naturally be contacted by other people who specialize in this aspect of affairs. .

  On October 25th, Xiao Yao took a week off with the school and boarded the plane to New York with Yin Xi.

Although Yin Xi has already begun to transform her career and try to develop into the entertainment industry, her biggest advantage and resources are still in the fashion industry, and from the perspective of the studio’s business scope, she has not given up on fashion, so every year She basically won't miss the four major fashion weeks. After cooperating with a personal brand, Yin Xi tried to take Xiao Yao, the photographer, to the fashion week with him more than once, but was always rejected by Xiao Yao because he had no time. This time Xiao Yao decided to go to New York Fashion Week, so he naturally went with Yin Xi, who was also going to.

This time, Yin Xi went to New York Fashion Week not only as an audience to watch the show, but also two jobs. They were modelling for a top international brand and a personal brand of a top international designer. This time he went to the United States as well. On my own private team.

  Fang still has a lot of things at hand. The construction of Xiao Yao’s warehouse to rebuild LOFT is in progress. Although it was thrown to someone who Lin Qisan found to be responsible, Lin Qisan is still a student after all, and Fang still needs to care about it from time to time. Although Xiao Yao's construction of a school in the disaster area has not yet started, she was also responsible for contact and communication in the early stage. In addition, she still has Chen Bella, an artist under her, and Chen Bella's management matters need to be taken care of. Fang still can't leave at all. Even if she is interested in Fashion Week, she doesn't have time to follow.

  And Pei Minyi is different. She and Fang still have a different development direction. She is not interested in brokerage affairs and commercial matters. Now, her mind is to learn to be a stylist and to develop in design. Having never been to the four major fashion weeks, she heard that Xiao Yao was going to New York Fashion Week, and immediately begged to go with Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao didn’t have any job at New York Fashion Week. He was just going to join in the fun as the audience watching the show. He didn’t need to bring a private team, and he had his own plans and arrangements. After arriving in New York, he would not stay with Yin Xi all the time. Instead, they will act alone, and bringing a private team is a burden. However, seeing that Pei Minyi is so eager to go to New York Fashion Week, Xiao Yao discussed with Yin Xi and temporarily loaned Pei Minyi to Yin Xi, and asked her to join Yin Xi's private team and go to meet the world together.

  The four major fashion weeks are all fashion events. This year's New York Fashion Week, China has many celebrities invited by the brand to go to the catwalks or platforms, and many celebrities rush to join in the fun. During the recent period, there have been many entertainment reporters squatting in the international terminals of several super first-tier metropolitan airports with flights to New York. After Yin Xi and Xiao Yao arrived at the airport, they were also recognized by the entertainment reporters who were waiting here. Several reporters immediately raised their microphones and surrounded them, wanting to interview them.

  Yin Xi’s attitude towards the reporters is still very good. He answered a few questions from the reporters with a smile, basically admitting that he was flying to New York to participate in Fashion Week this time, and he had two brand catwalk missions.

  Because he was walking with Yin Xi, Xiao Yao didn’t do any more disguise this time, and went to play a game of "hide and seek" with Yu Ji. When asked by the entertainment reporters about the purpose of going to New York, Xiao Yao simply said that he would go to New York Fashion Week to watch the excitement, and he pushed the reporter's microphone to move forward.

   Surrounded by reporters in the airport lobby, Xiao Yao and Yin Xi also attracted the attention of some passengers. After passing the security check, on the way to the departure area, some passengers who recognized Xiao Yao approached Xiao Yao for a group photo and autograph. As long as he is not an overly fan of illegitimate rice, Xiao Yao's attitude is still very good. In the face of these polite fans who didn't make excessive demands, Xiao Yao, who had plenty of time, also smiled and met their demands one by one.

After    boarded the plane, the situation of being recognized by fans and asking for autographs to take photos was almost eliminated. The first thing for boarding passengers is to find their own seat, wait until they find their seat, settle their luggage, and then take a seat to observe their surroundings. Yin Xi and Xiao Yao were in the first-class cabin with the fewest people, located at the forefront of the plane, so they were rarely recognized.

  Yin Xi and Xiao Yao were sitting in the first-class cabin, and they unconsciously remembered Xiao Yao who went to the United States and Yin Xi who went to the United Kingdom during the summer vacation last year. That time Xiao Yao was in economy class and Yin Xi was in first class. Yin Xi wanted to upgrade Xiao Yao to first class, but Xiao Yao didn't let him. As a result, a passenger on the plane suddenly became ill. Xiao Yao drank half a bottle of vodka while performing a thoracotomy on the plane. In the end, he was upgraded to first class by the flight attendant for free and sat in Yin. Xi's side.

  Compared with that experience in New York, Xiao Yao's journey this time was much smoother. This time Xiao Yao and Yin Xi went to the United States together, and Yin Xi’s people were responsible for booking tickets. For convenience, this flight is booked from Shanghai to New York directly, without the trouble of connecting flights.

  This direct flight to New York is a China Airlines flight, and the stewardess on the plane is also from China. Xiao Yao was later recognized by the Chinese flight attendant on the plane, and he took a picture with the beautiful flight attendant upon request. In addition, during this continuous flight for more than ten hours, Xiao Yao basically chatted with Yin Xi beside him except for sleeping. Nothing special happened along the way, not even a turbulence, and arrived in New York very smoothly.

After the plane landed, Xiao Yao and his party of seven came out of the passenger passage together, and Xiao Yao and Yin Xi did not walk in the forefront, but when he appeared in the passenger passage, he had not fully walked out, and someone recognized him at the exit. He came.
