Chapter Eighty-Eight: When it Encounters Water, the Start-up Ceremony
It's late autumn now, and it's still a little cool.
Hong Chen was wearing a long casual suit, and the cold wind made him feel a little cool.
The drama management has informed him to gather at the gate of the Emperor's film and television city at 8 o'clock this morning, and specially instructed him not to be late.
"By the way, after all, it's a boot-up ceremony, and you have to pay attention to some images. At that time, the drama also added.
Therefore, Hong Chen also made a simple shape with the help of Ge Chen in the morning.
He looks very energetic, and this time he is not dressed as a sunny youth, but with a little more calm and restrained, and he looks more stable.
Of course, the handsomeness is still there.
He arrived at the film and television city at about 7:45, and there were already people at the door, and these people saw Hong Chen, they all glanced at him twice, and then seemed to be talking about something.
Hong Chen was expressionless, quietly waiting for the arrival of the crew.
It didn't take long for a group of people to walk towards him, followed by many reporters. These reporters carried all kinds of equipment on their shoulders and desperately took pictures of the characters in the crew.
"Director Chen, I'll report. Seeing this, Hong Chen stepped forward and said to Chen Mushen.
"Hongchen, okay, you follow me, let's go in. Chen Mushen said politely.
This group of people is almost the crew members of this filming, I saw Brother Yuanlong and Chen Mushen walking in the front, full of domineering, and the actors in the back are like little brothers.
Brother Yuanlong seems very kind, after all, he is an international star, and his posture is still very friendly.
Hong Chen walked into the crew members, and the reporter took pictures even more frantically, and the sound of "click" continued.
The actors and reporters on the HK side are all familiar, and now that they see Hong Chen appearing, it is naturally like discovering a new continent, especially looking at Hong Chen's location, it seems that there are still a lot of scenes this time.
When did Hong Kong films start inviting mainland actors?
The journalists were curious.
I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, after entering the crew, Hong Chen felt as if someone had pushed him, but there were too many people, and he didn't see who it was.
He glanced back, expressionless, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
This turn of the year made the faces of the actors around him change slightly.
The start-up ceremony here in HK is particularly exquisite, you must choose a good and auspicious day, and burn incense to worship the Buddha, even the time of start-up, but also ask the master to calculate.
This link is very important, directors in the entertainment industry basically believe this, and it is the same in the mainland.
The drama has prepared all the props for the opening ceremony, the long table is covered with a red cloth, a huge roast suckling pig is placed in the middle, and all kinds of fruits are placed around, as well as red envelopes, incense burners, candles and other items.
The camera is placed at the front, covered by a red cloth, which is to "ward off evil spirits", and turning on the camera is to lift this red cloth.
Then, the director and Yuanlong put incense in turn, and Hong Chen also followed the customs, followed their example, took three incense sticks, and stepped forward to worship.
The customs of this worship are different from place to place, for example, there are people in the mainland who worship the sky and the earth, and there are people who worship the wind and rain in all directions, but the people in Hong Kong basically worship Guan Erye, and Guan Gong represents justice, and they believe in this very much.
This thing, if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it, depending on the person.
Hong Chen looked at it very lightly, but the rules should be followed, and he also respected Guan Erye from the bottom of his heart.
He looked at Second Master Guan and said silently in his heart: "Please Second Master Guan bless me with a smooth shooting." ”
However, this time, Guan Er Ye did not seem to have appeared.
Hong Chen had just bowed for the first time when the candle on the table suddenly went out.
This made the faces of the crew change.
The boot-up ceremony is to ask for a safe and smooth operation, and the extinguishing of the candle represents bad luck, plus the people of HK believe in this, and their faces are a little angry.
"What kind of mainlanders are you looking for, it's really a broom star. Some actors began to scold.
"That's it, I heard that the crew was able to start up a month ago, but in order to wait for him, it dragged on for a month, what kind of coffee position do you say he is so awesome. ”
"Big brother doesn't dare to do this!"
"The candle is extinguished, this movie has to be compensated, hurry up and change the actors. ”
Director Chen Mushen also frowned slightly, the candle was extinguished, which was not a good sign.
Similarly, Yu Jiawei, the emperor's high-level executive, was even more convinced of this, and this time, he suddenly became suspicious.
Hong Chen was also slightly stunned, and he felt that the eyes of the people around him changed suddenly.
It's weird.
Hong Chen shrugged his shoulders and bowed a second time.
As soon as he finished worshipping, it became even more weird.
The wind actually rose.
The weather forecast said that there was no wind today, and the warlock had calculated that the sky was clear at this hour, and it was a good time to start the machine.
It's a strange wind.
At this time, the actors of the crew are even more suspicious.
Could it be that Hong Chen made Second Master Guan angry?
Such an actor, where does the crew dare to accept it!
"Director Chen, this is not very suitable. Yu Jiawei whispered in Chen Mushen's ear.
There were actors around who also began to whisper.
Chen Mushen frowned, Hong Chen's conditions were all in line with the role of Guan Zu, and the crew waited for him for a month before starting the film.
I didn't expect to encounter such a strange thing before it was turned on.
The first worship, the candle is extinguished, and the second worship, the demon wind rises.
Evil Star.
Hong Chen was expressionless, where could he see these details, and he didn't know that there were so many exquisitenesses.
Thinking so, he performed the third prostration.
After worshipping, he inserted the incense into the censer and stood up.
"Smack. ”
Suddenly, a drop of water fell on the tip of Hong Chen's nose.
Hong Chen touched his nose and looked up.
The sun is still there, and the sun is mild.
What's going on with this water?
"Smack. ”
Another drop.
Only then did Hong Chen react, it was raining! It was raining in the sun!
The crew also felt the rain, at first, their faces were not very good-looking, but after the rain, they all looked surprised.
It's raining!
It was raining under a clear sky.
This is a particular one, generally when the machine is turned on, it will be turned on on a sunny day, and it will generally not rain when it is auspicious, and if it rains, it is a good omen.
If you encounter water, you will send it!
"It's raining, what a sign!"
"When it meets water, it will be sent when it encounters water, and when it encounters water, this drama is going to make a lot of money. ”
"Congratulations, congratulations. ”
The actors and reporters cheered and spoke in Cantonese.
Chen Mushen is very happy, and businessman Yu Jiawei is even happier.
Yu Jiawei said with a smile: "I'll just say that our vision will not be wrong, Hongchen is a lucky star!"
Chen Mushen responded and said, "Yes, yes." ”
Hong Chen had no idea what was going on.
I only know that the sun and rain just after he worshipped, and this roast suckling pig can't be eaten.
And Guan Erye on the altar is still wise and martial, standing heroically.
