Entertaining Children

  Chapter 165 Shooting

  Guo Qi, Ding Chengyu and Wang Dong are the three shortest men in the national men’s basketball team, only a little bit in their early 1.9 meters. Because the heights of these three are the closest to the heights of ordinary people, their clothing does not need to be completely customized, but just make some small modifications to the original version according to the figure. Therefore, the costumes of the three of them were prepared first, and Xiao Yao also arranged the three of them to shoot on the first day.

  When the three of them walked into the studio, the shooting scene was not fully prepared, it was still a busy scene. There is music in the stereo in the studio, and Xiao Yao is instructing the lighting and setting engineers to arrange the lighting and background with the sound of the music.

   "Are you here so early? Are you still here together?" Xiao Yao greeted him when he saw the three people coming in.

  The shooting time notified by Xiao Yao started at 8 o’clock in the evening, and now it’s only 7:30 in the evening, and the three arrived half an hour early. And in order to minimize the time occupied by the team members, although the three of them are all scheduled to shoot tonight, according to the sequence of shooting, Xiao Yao asked the three to arrive half an hour apart. Among the three, only Ding Chengyu needs to arrive at 8 o'clock. Guo Qi and Wang Dong are notified that they will arrive at 8:30 and 9 o'clock respectively.

   "There is nothing wrong after dinner, so I came here directly." Ding Chengyu replied with a smile, "Guo Zi and Wang Dong have nothing to do tonight, so they just rubbed my car and came together."

"OK, it's okay to arrive early." Xiao Yao nodded, "I won't accompany you until I get it done. Ding, you should change your clothes and make-up and do your styling. Guo and Wang are free. "

  Speaking, Xiao Yao called the costume designer and stylist to take Ding Chengyu to change clothes and make-up to do styling, and then went back to the lighting stand and the background board to watch the lighting engineer and the set designer work.

   "This place is pretty good." Guo Qi said to Wang Dong after looking around the studio, "The space is large enough and the decoration is very special. I feel that it is more flavorful than those studios where I used to shoot commercials."

"This place should be changed from the old factory." The older Wang Dong said to Guo Qi with a smile, "I used to love to come to this old factory with my friends in the hutong when I was a teenager. This entire park used to be It's just a factory. The buildings here are basically old factories."

"Speaking of teenagers," Guo Qi pointed to Xiao Yao who was directing the lighting set, "Brother Wang, this guy is also a teenager, and he is also in the factory. But what do you think others are playing now? What are you playing?"

"Oh, your kid is teasing Big Brother." Wang Dong patted Guo Qi on the back of the head, then looked at him and shot back: "This teenage boy has singled out and won the national team player. People, you compare me to him now when I was young?"

  Hearing Wang Dong mentioned that he lost to Xiao Yao in a one-on-one match, Guo Qi's momentum immediately weakened.

  Although he gave six points, the loss to Xiao Yao in a heads-up still had a lot of impact on Guo Qi's psychology. Faced with an amateur basketball boy who was not even seventeen years old, as a member of the national team, he couldn't even win the game by six points. Xiao Yao won the game with four points. So when he will come to the World Championships to face the national team players of other countries, what will his Guo Qi let the opponent play against him?

   Therefore, Guo Qi would subconsciously want to see that others are not as good as Xiao Yao, so that his heart can be somewhat balanced, so he would unconsciously say that to Wang Dong. It is a pity that Wang Dong directly took out his heads-up loss to Xiao Yao to talk about the matter, which made him even more frustrated.

  However, after Wang Dong followed Guo Qi's finger and looked at Xiao Yao for a while, what he said made Guo Qi feel a lot more comfortable.

"Don't tell me, this Xiao Yao is only a teenager, but when you command these people in their 20s and 30s, who are much older than him, they don't show any timidity at all. They are indeed not ordinary people." Wang Dong looked at Xiao Yao confidently. The commanding of the lighting and setting teachers.

   Xiao Yao’s shooting plan is very detailed, and the implementation is also very smooth. Before eight o'clock in the evening, the shooting scene was fully prepared.

  Since the three team members have arrived early, Ding Chengyu has also changed his clothes, put on makeup, and styling. Xiao Yao also started shooting ahead of time.

  When Ding Chengyu got out of the dressing room after getting dressed, Wang Dong and Guo Qi were bright when they saw him.

It’s not that Wang Dong and Guo Qi have never seen Ding Chengyu wear formal clothes, but after the outfit Xiao Yao chose for him was put on Ding Chengyu’s body, both Wang Dong and Guo Qi felt that Ding Chengyu’s feelings seemed a little different. . Black suit, black vest, black shirt, black tie, and even the pocket square on the left chest is black. This all-black color choice seems to be speechless at first glance. But in an environment with sufficient lighting like a studio, suits, vests, shirts and ties have different reflection effects on the light due to different fabrics, but they show a good sense of hierarchy.

  When Ding Chengyu stands in front of the background board and enters under the lights whose positions and angles are designed in advance, this sense of hierarchy becomes more clear. Paired with makeup and styling, the facial lines appear more austere, on the contrary, the calm and steady characteristics of Ding Chengyu's whole personality are magnified.

There is a shooting plan, there are pre-designed postures, the on-site costumes, styling, lighting, and setting staff, including Xiao Yao, a minor photographer, are all professional, so the biggest difficulty of this shooting is naturally Professional models are on.

  In the shooting posture, Xiao Yao can explain and demonstrate to Ding Chengyu. These concrete things are not difficult for Ding Chengyu to understand and do. Xiao Yao can guide Ding Chengyu to fine-tune according to the picture in his mind through language. However, the communication between Ding Chengyu and Xiao Yao is slightly difficult for the more abstract things such as eyes and expressions. some. But it was just a bit more difficult, and Xiao Yao was not unprepared for this.

"Ge Ding, do you remember the third game against Yuncheng Steel in the mid-south semi-finals of the 12th league, the last two and four seconds of the three-point lore?" Xiao Yao guided Ding Chengyu and said: "Do you recall what happened at that time? Scene, when you throw that ball, what was your mental state and what was in your mind at that time?"

  The scene mentioned by Xiao Yao is the most famous and proud goal of Ding Chengyu's career. Since that goal, Ding Chengyu has gained fame in the league, and titles such as "Big Heart" and "Crimson Killer" have also been put on his head.

  Following Xiao Yao's words, Ding Chengyu's thoughts drifted to the scene Xiao Yao said. Unconsciously, there was a calm and calm expression on his face, and even a somewhat grim expression, and his eyes seemed as sharp as they were on the field at the time.

   "Kaka!" A slight shutter sound sounded, Xiao Yao nodded in satisfaction, and then changed to a camera with a lens installed in advance, and said to Ding Chengyu: "Ding Ge, the next posture is..."

   "This Xiao Yao really has two sons." Wang Dong and Guo Qi looked at each other and said silently in their hearts.

  Although they don’t know photography very well, Wang Dong and Guo Qi can clearly see Ding Chengyu’s state. As non-professional models, they are actually a little nervous when taking pictures. Although Ding Chengyu's previous posture was relatively standard, the expression on his face was not very good. Although he seemed to be quiet, he seemed to want to show his composure, but Wang Dong and Guo Qi, who were watching, thought it was completely expressionless, even a little dull.

  Even if they are not photographers, they know that such an expression is wrong. What they didn't expect was that Xiao Yao's few words led Ding Chengyu back to the scene on the basketball court. Ding Chengyu's expression and eyes immediately became vivid.

  Different from the communication method of ordinary photographers and models, Xiao Yao’s guidance to models is actually more like a director’s guidance to actors in the role of substitution. This is probably because he has had more contact with film and television crews since he was a child, and he has not consciously learned and imitated after seeing more directors' guidance to actors. It's just that the role Xiao Yao wants the other party to take over is just the one himself who has appeared before. Judging from the results, the effect seems to be good.

  After ten minutes of shooting Ding Chengyu, Xiao Yao asked the costume designer to take Guo Qi to change clothes.

  The entire filming of Ding Chengyu took about half an hour and forty minutes in total. When Ding Chengyu’s filming was over, Guo Qi had all made up her clothes and makeup and was ready.

  Guo Qi's clothing is very different from Ding Chengyu. First of all, the tailoring of the suit is more self-cultivating, and at the same time, there is no vest, not as formal as a three-piece suit. The white shirt has metal edging accessories on the corners of the collar. At the same time, the neck tie is not an ordinary tie, but a rope tie called "Polo tie", which is fixed with a buckle.

  This kind of button tie from the western United States can be matched with shirt suits. Although it does not look as formal and rigorous as ordinary ties, it is more casual, but it is also very particular and can also appear as a formal accessory. Guo Qi is the youngest member of the team and has a somewhat free-spirited and unrestrained temperament. This outfit with this tie fits his personality very well.

Therefore, as soon as Guo Qi came out of the dressing room, he grabbed Xiao Yao, who had just finished shooting Ding Chengyu, pointed to the "Polo tie" on the collar of his shirt and asked Xiao Yao: "Xiao Yao, I have seen such things. But I don’t know what it’s called. Where did you get it. Can you sell this to me?"

"This is called "Poirot tie". It originated in the western United States. Does it have the same personality as your cowboy?" Xiao Yao smiled and said, "I didn't find that the pattern on this buckle is the same as the tattoo on your right neck. Is it? I made it specially and didn’t plan to sell it because I was going to give it to you after the shooting."

   "Of course I found it, that's why I like it so much." Guo Qixi said, "It turned out to be specially made, you are really interested. But if you are embarrassed to take your things for no reason, you should sell it to me."

  "Such a small item, I gave it as soon as I gave it, and it didn't cost much. If you feel embarrassed, you can take a photo with me and thank me." Xiao Yao waved his hand.

   "Okay." Guo Qi didn't insist, and said happily, "How do you say what I do, make sure to cooperate well." With that, Guo Qi took the initiative to walk to the background board.

"Okay, then you first collect the happy expression on your face. Think about the scene when your coach asked you to wash off your neck tattoos when you were in the youth team." Xiao Yao picked up another camera on the workbench and said .

"what?"
