The next day, many media reports about the CCTV disaster relief party appeared. This paper comprehensively and detailedly introduces the sponsor, star lineup, content and achievements of the disaster relief party. In addition to the very eye-catching figures of the amount of donations and the earthquake relief propaganda films interspersed in the middle, which tell a very touching story of disaster relief, one of the big attractions is that they have surpassed the super luxury star lineup of the Spring Festival Gala. Many movie and TV song stars who usually take the lead are gathered in a program and willingly perform in a chorus with everyone.
In this super luxury star lineup, the most brilliant and impressive one is not a national treasure level old artist, nor a big movie star who donated millions of dollars on the spot, but a 20-year-old young man Xiao Yao. Therefore, in the follow-up media reports, Xiao Yao also became a star who was named and mentioned by the media the most. Basically, when reporting the CCTV disaster relief party, all the media inevitably mentioned Xiao Yao''s deeds in the disaster area introduced by the host of the party and Xiao Yao''s performance at the party.
There are more than 200 top stars in the CCTV disaster relief party. No matter their fame or status, let alone Xiao Yao, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying are unimportant in that group. However, not only Xiao Yao was given a chance to perform in the party, but also Xiao Yao was the star of the party when the media reported afterwards. If you haven''t seen the party, many people will think it''s incredible, but after watching the party, you will feel it''s very natural.
So, Xiao Yao naturally fire again. After the broadcast of the disaster relief party, all kinds of media interviews, TV program interviews and all kinds of commercial endorsements and performances were invited again. It''s not that Xiao Yao has never experienced this kind of battle before, and it''s not once or twice that he made this kind of explosion. With Xiao Yao''s nature and consistent style, he was not interested in taking advantage of the fire to accept interviews and participate in commercial performances. Xiao Yao basically refused all the invitation, but not all of them, because one of the invitation came from a very special unit, which also aroused Xiao Yao''s great interest.
"What? Xinhua invited me to the headquarters of Yanjing for an interview? What are you talking about? " Xiao Yao was extremely surprised when he heard the news from Fang still. The world''s Xinhua news agency, like previous generations, is China''s national news agency, a statutory news regulatory agency, which can be called the national mouthpiece. What should such a unit talk about with its star in the performing arts circle?
"It''s about your photography, of course." Fang still said with a smile, "the photos of the rescue scene you took at the disaster relief party are no worse than those taken by the on-site photographers sent by Xinhua news agency to report the earthquake disaster. Isn''t it normal for them to want to talk to you?"
"There are two things they want to talk to you about this time." Fang still obviously communicated with the other party in advance, and then said, "the first thing is that Huaxia photo agency, a company directly under the Xinhua news agency, wants to include the photos you took at the earthquake rescue site. It needs your authorization. The second thing is that their newsroom wants to hire you as their photojournalist
"There''s nothing wrong with the first thing. If they want to use it, it''s easy to authorize it." Xiao Yao said, "but the second thing, I''m a singer majoring in acting. They asked me to change my career to be a reporter? How is that possible? "
"It''s not impossible." Fang still said, "aren''t you a photographer for National Geographic? Why can''t you be a reporter? Of course, considering your identity, they don''t want you to be a full-time reporter in the establishment, but invite you to be a special photographer by way of external employment. They won''t arrange specific interview tasks for you, but if you happen to be present in the event of an emergency similar to this earthquake, they hope you can send them first-hand live pictures and reports at the first time, instead of giving the photos to foreign media for news reports. "
"It turned out that they were stimulated by this." Xiao Yao laughed, "if you don''t assign me specific tasks, just let me be a" non staff member ", it''s not that you can''t discuss."
In fact, the same is true of Xiao Yao''s cooperation with the two foreign media. They give Xiao Yao relevant documents to facilitate his actions, but they don''t assign him specific tasks, and they don''t give him a fixed salary. Only when Xiao Yao has good photography works for them and is adopted by them, they will pay according to the situation.
Chen Xuan is a photographer. He has many certificates of photographers and contract photographers. He doesn''t worry about the economy, he doesn''t care about the treatment, what he cares about is that he can bring a lot of convenience to himself, at the same time, he can have full freedom, and he won''t bind himself. His status as a photographer and contract photographer is also a 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 even doesn''t want to be bound. So Chen Xuan used this kind of cooperation when he helped Xiao Yao get the two certificates.
"But I''m a photographer at most, a special photographer of Xinhua news agency, at least a reporter? I don''t have a press card. Xinhua news agency is a national unit, and it''s not a business magazine like National Geographic. Chen Xuan said that he gave me a photo reporter''s certificate as soon as he said it Xiao Yao continued.The so-called special correspondent refers to the person who is not in the editorial department, but outside the news agency or the radio and television station, who should be invited to complete certain interview tasks for the newspaper, news agency or radio and television station. They have no establishment in the news unit, and they do not receive the salary of the news unit. They are the personnel from other units invited by the news unit for a special news gathering and writing task, such as a certain industry, a certain region, etc. In China, this kind of special correspondent is also a full-time reporter of other news organizations.
"I''m not sure about that." Fang still shrugged, "maybe they will let you get a professional qualification certificate first, and then make an exception to give you a reporter''s card. Maybe they don''t hire you to be a special photographer, they just ask you to be a special photographer, and the specific result depends on your interview."
"OK, let''s talk about it." Xiao Yao nodded excitedly.
Xinhua news agency is the largest news agency in China. Even if it''s only a special photographer, it also has a certificate, which will bring great convenience for him to enter some specific areas. Naturally, Xiao Yao is very willing to. For Xiao Yao, it''s no matter what the exam is, even if it''s the qualification certificate of journalism practitioners, there''s no problem at all. But the real reporter''s card needs to be applied for by his unit after he has obtained the qualification certificate of journalism practitioners and worked in a regular news unit for more than one year. If he can take this opportunity to make an exception to give himself a reporter''s card, he can go to more places in the future Fang Lang, that''s a big profit.
Although the Xinhua news agency takes a fancy to Xiao Yao because he is a star, both Xiao Yao and Fang still feel that Xiao Yao is not suitable to talk to others as a star. Xiao Yao has always made up his own mind about this kind of decision-making, so after Fang still helped Xiao Yao get in touch with the meeting time, Xiao Yao didn''t take Fang and Pei Minyi with him, and appeared alone in the headquarters building of Xinhua news agency at the appointed time.
After registering and explaining his intention at the guard, a young man soon came out and led Xiao Yao in.
Although Xiao Yao didn''t see himself as a star, the leaders he met this time were still at a high level. In a reception room, Xiao Yao was interviewed by the vice president and deputy editor in chief of Xinhua news agency, the editor in chief of news photography editorial department, and the president of Huaxia photo agency, a subordinate enterprise.
Generally speaking, it is not necessary to hire a special photographer. Xiao Yao was a brave young man who fought against the gangsters with knives on the subway at that time. He encouraged the folk orchestra to carry forward the traditional Chinese folk music culture. He gave ten songs to the army''s Art Troupe free of charge. Several songs such as "the Great Wall" and "the descendants of the dragon" also greatly carried forward the national spirit inheritance of the country. Although not mentioned in the media, his name has already been introduced to many senior leaders.
At the CCTV disaster relief Gala sponsored by several government departments and watched by major leaders, the program team had such boldness to arrange the host to interview Xiao Yao, a young newcomer in the entertainment industry, for such a long time when so many veteran artists and stars gathered together, giving him a chance to have a single program and designing his own stage performance . In addition to what Xiao Yao did in the disaster area, this aspect is also one of the considerations of the program team.
Now Xiao Yao is invited to talk about photo authorization and special photographers or reporters. It is reasonable to say that the chief editor of news photography editorial department and the president of Huaxia photo agency are enough. However, after hearing that Xiao Yao came, the vice president and the deputy chief editor also came to have a look curiously.
The two men came to watch. After shaking hands with Xiao Yao, they sat aside. Related matters are still discussed with Xiao Yao by the two leaders of relevant departments.
The first thing to talk about is the collection of photos by the photo agency. It''s easy to talk about this. Although Xiao Yao also works in commercial photography, his main source of income is not selling photos. This photo agency will collect all the photos he took at the scene of the earthquake stricken area, which can also be regarded as a kind of public welfare photography. And the photo agency included these photos as long as the right to use the photos, not involving Xiao Yao''s right of signature and ownership, so Xiao Yao was very generous to give free authorization.
Photography will soon be well discussed. Next, it''s time to talk about the identity of photographers and even photographers. Although this matter was brought up by Xinhua news agency, and Xiao Yao was also very interested in it, neither the special photographer nor the special photographer could simply take a picture of his head.
For such a state unit as Xinhua news agency, even such special personnel can''t be settled casually. Even if it''s a person registered with the boss above, the investigation and assessment that should be done still need to be done.
Although there is no such thing as political review, basic background investigation still needs to be done. Xiao Yao''s grandparents and grandchildren have been stars for three generations. His grandfather is an old artist close to the national treasure level. His father is the king of music without any bad records. His biological mother is an orphan. His stepmother is a famous actor. His stepmother''s parents are all innocent intellectuals. These are not difficult to find out, and naturally there are no problems.
In addition to family background, another aspect that needs investigation and understanding is Xiao Yao''s ability. They''re not looking for mascots when they''re looking for special photographers and reporters. Although they will not make specific arrangements for work, once something happens, they still hope Xiao Yao can really play a role.The photos released at the disaster relief party are undoubtedly of a high standard, but this time they can play to a high standard does not mean that they can play to a high standard every time. What they need is professional photographers who can steadily and continuously perform at a high level. Since Xiao Yao disclosed that he had started publishing his photography works under the signature of YS since he was nine years old, the society also collected and sorted out all the photography works under the signature of YS and carefully evaluated them. From those works, we can basically see the improvement and development of YS''s photography level. Since 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 surveys, the society will put forward the idea of hiring Xiao Yao as a special photographer, which was approved at the meeting. However, in order to make a real decision, it is still necessary to make some face-to-face contact.
Photos are discussed by the president of the photo agency, and photography is naturally discussed by the chief editor of the news photography editorial department. Zeng Kexi, the editor in chief, is also a photographer. He is very proficient in photography. It is natural for him to lead the topic to photography when he speaks. Zeng Kexi is a senior photojournalist who once won the photography News Award and worked as a war reporter. He prefers current events photography to fashion photography. So in the process of chatting, it is also unconsciously brought up such big topics as the world pattern.
What we didn''t expect is that Xiao Yao not only talked with Zeng about photographic equipment and technology, but also talked with this half century old elder. Even when he talked about the current world situation, he actually had something to say. Especially in the more chaotic African region, which countries and regions are relatively safe, which places are more dangerous, which governments are more pro China, and which governments are less able to deal with China, Xiao Yao is just like a family.
Of course, this is also because the people of 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 were no unreliable ones who took Xiao Yao to dangerous war-torn areas and stayed in relatively safe and far away from war-torn areas, he also told Xiao Yao about the situation and various forces there in detail at that time. Xiao Yao was also very interested in those places at that time. Although he didn''t run to those places, he kept paying attention to them.
After such a talk, the four people present all looked at Xiao Yao with new eyes. If it wasn''t for Xiao Yao''s star status and said that he would not give up his development in the performing arts circle, everyone would like to formally recruit this young man who has demonstrated his good skills in the disaster area to the society, train him as an official reporter and send him to the African branch of Kenya.
But even if he can''t become an official Xinhua reporter, there''s no obstacle in hiring him as a special photographer.
At this time, Xiao Yao also put forward the request of special photographer. As a journalist, there are hard and fast requirements. When chief editor Zeng put forward these hard requirements, Xiao Yao immediately said that it''s no problem to take the qualification certificate, but he really can''t meet the requirements of one year''s employment. He asked these big men in the press if they have any way to accommodate them.
At this time, it seems that Xiao Yao, the deputy chief editor of Xinhua news agency who is also interested in being a reporter, came forward to test several basic problems of Xiao Yao''s journalism major. These questions are not too difficult. Xiao Yao, who had read several basic journalism books before he came here, answered them without any burden.
So the deputy editor in chief, who was moved by Xiao Yao''s performance, made a decision: now, the Xinhua news agency can only give Xiao Yao the identity of a special photographer. Xiao Yao gets the qualification certificate of editor and reporter as soon as possible, and then gives them six news reports that are enough to be published in their newspapers within one year. If it can be completed, one year later, the Xinhua news agency will help Xiao Yao apply for a reporter''s license and hire him as a special photographer.
Xiao Yao confidently agreed to the conditions proposed by the deputy chief editor.
