Chapter 1297 Receiving Certificate

   "You two, wait!" Ye Jiaying saw Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting get up to leave, and stopped them.

   "What's wrong?" Xiao Yao asked.

   "You two won't really go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate tomorrow with two sets of clothes?" Ye Jiaying asked with a smile.

   "Any problem?" Xiao Yao asked.

   "There is no dressing room and dressing room in the place where the Civil Affairs Bureau takes pictures!" Ye Jiaying said, "You will let the staff wait in the bathroom and change clothes?"

   "What should I do then?" Xiao Yao said, "I see some special wedding photos on the Internet, don't they do that?"

"At the first glance, you haven't been married," Ye Jiaying finally couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, you really haven't been married. I tell you that the photos on the marriage certificate don't have to be taken on the scene of the Civil Affairs Bureau, but you can. Take pictures of them in advance, as long as the specifications meet the requirements."

   "Huh?" Xiao Yao said in surprise, "Can you take a good photo of it yourself?"

   Xiao Yao only checked the process of marriage registration on the Internet, and the process he looked at was just a general description of the procedures, and did not specifically indicate that the photos of the marriage certificate can be taken by himself. Xiao Yao has never been married in his previous life. In this life, he has not paid as much attention to obtaining a certificate as a wedding. He just went through a process, so I really don’t know this. As for Sun Tingting, most of them pointed to Xiao Yao. She didn't even consider the clothes for taking pictures, and she didn't know this in detail.

   "Finally there is something you don't know!" Ye Jiaying smiled.

   "Then you must take the photo by yourself and take it over. There should be too late in time." Xiao Yao said.

  If you can take the photo by yourself, then you can do a good job of clothing and makeup. After the photo is taken, you can do some post-processing on the photo. Although the marriage registration photo is not an artistic photo, it needs to be as real as possible, but the truth does not conflict with makeup and retouching. You can also look real after doing these, and at the same time achieve a better-looking effect.

  Generally speaking, most of the newlyweds who take their own marriage registration photos are taken in places such as photo studios outside, and the filming time will be limited. But Xiao Yao is no ordinary person. It is Sunday afternoon, and there is still a half day plus one night. He will definitely be able to get the photos out before tomorrow.

"Dad, Mom, let a few people from your studio use it, now find someone to help me find a studio or photography studio." Xiao Yao said to his parents, "mainly the venue and lighting and other equipment, and then the makeup artist and Costume designer, I have no time to transfer people from Shanghai. I don’t need the technicians who retouch the pictures in the later stage. I can come by myself in the later stage of the photos!"

   "No problem!" Ye Jiaying nodded, and then asked, "What about the photographer? Can you still take pictures of yourself?"

   "Oh! Oops!" Xiao Yao patted his thigh.

   "What's wrong?" Sun Tingting asked this time, "Didn't you say it was too late?"

"It's too late to take pictures, but it's too late to find Thiel over!" Xiao Yao said, "Marriage registration photos are also more meaningful photos. Since you can take them by yourself, of course you should find a master to take them. I was before I don’t know that I can take the registration photos by myself, but I just told Thiel to help us take the wedding photos and be the photographer of our wedding. It’s still early if we don’t take the wedding photos and the wedding. He is doing it now. I don’t know which country I’m in. I’m sure I won’t be able to rush to China to take pictures of us before tomorrow. The registered photo is a photo of me and you, and I can’t take it myself.”

  The Chinese name of Thiel in Xiao Yao's mouth is Chen Xuan, and he is a French photographer with half Chinese descent. Chen Xuan is a co-photographer of world-famous brands such as Eva, a very famous photographer in European and American fashion circles, and Xiao Yao's photography teacher. He is basically the best photographer Xiao Yao knows. Xiao Yao had contacted Chen Xuan a long time ago and asked him to help take the wedding photos of the two and be a wedding photographer.

  The relationship between Chen Xuan and Xiao Yao, a student, is very good. It is another important life event like marriage, and he has already agreed happily. It's just that the wedding photos and weddings are expected to be some time away, and Xiao Yao doesn't know about the marriage registration photos. Chen Xuan is not in Yanjing at this time, or even in China.

   "Wait a few more days if you want to get the certificate or not, let me contact him and ask him to come to Yanjing as soon as possible?" Xiao Yao asked Sun Tingting.

"Don't bother Mr. Chen Xuan, right?" Sun Tingting said, "We don't need to ask him for wedding photos and weddings. Don't bother people with relatively "simple" photos such as wedding registration photos. They are world-class photographers. , You are his student, not his teacher. This kind of thing also specifically asks the teacher to put aside the things at hand and fly to China, which is not appropriate!"

"Yeah, you don't need Chen Xuan for this kind of thing!" Ye Jiaying also said, "People are your teacher, not your apprentice. It’s the same if you’re looking for a good photographer. No matter how meaningful the marriage registration photo is, even if you prepare a special costume, you still have to register the photo. Will it make a big difference for different people? Do you still do the post-production by yourself?"

  "It seems to make sense too!" Xiao Yao thought for a while, looked at Xiao Siqi and said, "Since you are not looking for Thiel, dad, you can be the photographer!"

   "Me?" Xiao Siqi pointed to himself in surprise, "You asked me to help you take the pictures on your marriage certificate?"

   "Yes!" Xiao Yao said, "Aren't you also interested in photography these years, have you taken a lot of photos?"

  "I'm a photography enthusiast, I can't compare with professional photographers!" Xiao Siqi said, "I'm just a fancier! Do you feel relieved to let me shoot?"

"It's okay!" Xiao Yao said, "Mom is right. The marriage registration photo is also the registration photo. Even the background is relatively monotonous and fixed. In fact, there are no high technical requirements. Ordinary photographers can take pictures. Chen Xuan is indeed a waste. Besides, although I can't take pictures of myself, I can design the lighting. This kind of photo composition is also simple and does not require any design, so you actually just press the shutter!"

   "I'm a puppet who presses the shutter if you are with me?" Xiao Siqi said amusedly.

"Yeah!" Xiao Yao smiled, "If you are a professional photographer, I would be embarrassed to push others around, but if it were you, I would have no burden! Anyway, you are a photography enthusiast, and I am a professional photographer. Isn’t it right for you to listen to me? It won’t hurt your professional self-esteem or something!"

   "This..." Xiao Siqi smiled bitterly, "Okay!"

"If this is the case, don't go out to rent a studio." Xiao Yao said, "The studio dad at home occasionally uses it. There is cleaning and the equipment is enough. There is no need to look for makeup artists and costume artists. Let's do it ourselves! Take pictures at home, all by ourselves. This kind of picture is quite special, and it is just right to have a marriage certificate."

   "Duoer?" Ye Jiaying looked at Sun Tingting and said.

   "I also prefer this kind of photos we took at home!" Sun Tingting said, "I think it makes more sense."

   "Okay, that's it!" Ye Jiaying said, "You two go out to buy clothes and the things you need for makeup. Your dad and I are going to tidy up the studio now!"

  "Would you like to inform your parents to come and see you to take a marriage registration photo?" Ye Jiaying asked Sun Tingting again, "Let them also witness your moment?"

  "This~" Sun Tingting stopped talking a little bit.

   "Okay, you go, I'll call your parents and let them come over!" Ye Jiaying understood what Sun Tingting meant and waved her hand.

  When Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting returned from buying clothes and cosmetics, Sun Zhihao and Hu Xuena had already arrived, and a large red background board was also arranged in the studio. After Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting came back, they started work immediately.

  The lighting of the registered photos is also relatively simple, and generally speaking, the lighting needs to match the makeup of the subject, so the first thing Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting do is to change clothes and make-up.

   "Crack!"

  Xiao Yao was drawing his eyebrows to Sun Tingting, when suddenly he heard the sound of a shutter. Xiao Yao glanced in the direction where the sound was coming from, and he was surprised to find that Sun Zhihao had a camera in both hands and secretly took a picture of them.

   "The picture just now is really good!" Sun Zhihao smiled and smiled to his wife beside him, "No wonder people in ancient times used "thrush" as a metaphor for the harmonious relationship between husband and wife!"

  It turned out that when Sun Zhihao saw Xiao Yao helping Sun Tingting draw eyebrows, he suddenly felt a little touched. He couldn't help picking up the camera next to him and secretly taking a picture of the two of them.

   "Hmm!" Hu Xuena held Sun Zhihao's arm, put her head on his shoulder, looked at Sun Tingting and Xiao Yao, and said, "These two little guys are so nice!"

   Xiao Yao smiled and raised his head, looking into Sun Tingting’s eyes.

   "Do you want to help me make up my eyebrows every day?" Sun Tingting watched Xiao Yao's lips move, and said with a smile.

   "I don't say things that can't be done easily!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Every year from now on, as long as we are together, I will paint for you, how about?"

   "Hmm!" Sun Tingting smiled and nodded, "This statement sounds more sincere."

   "These two guys are really unbearable!" Ye Jiaying smiled and shook her head.

  Although I am in my own studio, there are no so-called "professionals", but there is Xiao Yao, a guy who knows everything, and the technical requirements for registering photos are indeed not high, so the process of taking pictures is relatively smooth and efficient.

  Before dinner, not only the photos were taken, Xiao Yao even finished the later stage. When Xiao Yao learned photography when he was a child, he set up a small studio at home, which was also equipped with professional photo printing equipment. Now Xiao Siqi loves photography, and the studio occasionally uses it, and various equipment will be updated accordingly, so you can print photos at home. After printing more than the specified number of photos of the specified specifications as required, the matter was settled.

Generally speaking, you don’t need to make an appointment in advance when you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for marriage registration and obtain a marriage certificate. It is better to make an online appointment in advance. Of course, even on ordinary days, you can make an appointment in advance, but it's not that necessary in relative terms.

  Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting are celebrities. When going to any public place, you must consider the issue of being recognized, being watched or even besieged. Although going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to obtain a certificate will not be the same as participating in a public event, there are still issues in this regard that need to be considered.

It stands to reason that the shorter the time their celebrities stay in the Civil Affairs Bureau, the better. It is better to make an online appointment in advance. However, August 4th is not a traditional or special auspicious day for obtaining a certificate. Xiao Yao is worried about registration. The information was leaked to the media and attracted the attention of the media, so Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting did not make an appointment at all, and went directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for a marriage certificate on Monday morning.

  In fact, in the process, it is inevitable and irrelevant for the staff to recognize that the two are stars. After all, celebrities have to get married, and the responsibilities of other people's staff are on their own. However, although the day Xiao Yao and the others went was not an auspicious day, other people would usually go through the marriage registration. Regardless of whether they have made an appointment in advance, they will inevitably have time to wait in the lobby. If it is recognized by other couples and their family members who go to register for marriage, there will be the possibility of disturbing the normal order there, which is a little bit troublesome.

  Certificate is a very private matter. The Civil Affairs Bureau is the place where government departments open to the outside world. Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting must not bring a lot of bodyguards and assistants to the Civil Affairs Bureau to help maintain order. The Civil Affairs Bureau is not an airport either. If Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting disguised too much, wearing hats and masks, they would be more conspicuous and more noticeable.

  So, the two of them finally decided that their relatives and friends should not go to the oath and other procedures together, and they should go through the procedures as low-key as possible and get the certificate. As for dressing up, the two did not wear masks, but each simply wore a baseball cap to cover it slightly.

  In order to shorten the time spent in the Civil Affairs Bureau as much as possible, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting deliberately woke up early and arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau before work hours. What they didn't expect was that the newcomers who came before the door opened were not the only two of them. When they arrived, there were already several pairs of newcomers waiting for the Civil Affairs Bureau to open and go to work.

   Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting did not want to attract attention, so they could only lower the brim of their hats and stand aside in a low-key manner.

  According to the process, the first step for a new couple to apply for marriage registration is to register and fill in the application form at the reception desk. When it's working hours, after the Civil Affairs Bureau opens. Several couples waiting at the door swarmed in and all ran to the reception desk. Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting naturally couldn't squeeze with others, rob them, they could only silently rank behind others.

  After filling out the application form, the staff will give the newcomer a queuing number. Because Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting did not crowd or grab, and they did not even talk to others at the door to emphasize the first-come-first-served order, this application form was filled out late and the queue numbers they got were relatively late. This also means that even if the two of them came before the door opened, they still had to wait in the hall for a long time.
