A few days later, a certain street in the magic capital.

It's an old-fashioned street with not a lot of pedestrians and little traffic.

This is the filming location chosen by the crew, one of the convenience stores has been contracted, and the signboard has been replaced with "No. 444 convenience store".

At nine o'clock in the morning, the weather was clear.

The sun shines on people, feeling warm and dispelling a trace of chill in winter.

After a while, the opening ceremony of "Soul Ferry" will be held in the open space in front of the convenience store, and for this reason, I specially asked the nearby film police to help maintain order.

A cordon was set up around the open space to prevent the melon-eating crowd from pouring in.

There's no way, uncles and aunts like to watch the excitement.

Su Mu and Zana, the other leading actor Yu Yi, and other actors who will appear in the first season, are already waiting.

The director, producer, and a few other high-level executives that Su Mu didn't know were communicating there.

This opening ceremony is different from the previous plays, and it can be said that there is a big difference.

"Soul Ferry" is a supernatural film after all, and many things must be taboo.

Therefore, before starting the film, director Ju Xingmao and the producer sent by Tencent looked for the master to take a look.

Not only are the start-up dates and times particular, but even the ceremony has changed a little from before.

In order to ensure that the crew finished filming this drama smoothly, the master said that he would suppress the evil spirit at the start-up ceremony.

For this purpose, a lot of things have been prepared.

Pig-killing knives, glutinous rice, red paper, and hand-painted and illuminated portraits of Zhong Kui, etc.

The crew also gave the director, Su Mu and several other main creators with trinkets made of tortoiseshell, which are the best evil spirit-warding items and are worth a lot of money.

Of course, there are two most important things, one is sunshine, so the boot ceremony was placed on today's sunny day.

The second is righteousness.

Everyone has a different sense of righteousness, and at the start-up ceremony, the crew specially invited armed police patrolling nearby.

The magic city is an international metropolis, and safety is of paramount importance.

Therefore, it is not only the police who are responsible for patrolling, but also the armed police who drive armored vehicles and are on standby in some important areas.

Of course, people didn't come to stand on the platform for the crew, but sent two people over to help on the way to patrol.

The cold steel qiāng, a righteous warrior, this is more evil than anything.

It's almost time, and the director directs the staff to get busy.

Su Mu, Yu Yi and Zhana also took the initiative to help.

This drama is filmed in two seasons in a row, and everyone has to get along for a long time, at least more than three months.

They are all colleagues, and they are supernatural crews, so it is very important to have a good relationship with each other.

Leave a first impression on the staff that they don't play big names and are approachable, which is conducive to future running-in.

Speaking of two seasons of continuous filming, I have to explain.

Instead of breaking up the plots of the two seasons and filming the scenes in the same venue at one time, the first season was filmed first, and then the second season was filmed.

After filming the first season, I started to do post-production directly, and by the time the second season was finished, the later stage of the first season would almost be ready.

After all, there are only twenty episodes in a season, and the special effects don't need to be as advanced as the movie, as long as they are qualified.

It's not that it's perfunctory, but if it's not on the big screen, no matter how good you are, the audience won't be able to see it at all.

On a computer, there is not much difference.

Moreover, the reason why I am in such a hurry is that I am afraid of long nights and dreams.

Although it is an online drama, there is no special policy on it, so it is relatively wide, but what if the wind direction changes after a long time, what if it is stuck?

You know, if there are peers behind you to make a mistake, it is easy to go wrong.

Even if you don't get stuck, it's more troublesome to be asked to cut the picture and plot.

When the time comes, it will be indecent, the reputation will be ruined, and no one will see it, won't it be a loss.

Tencent's money is not blowing in the wind, so naturally I don't want to see that happen.

So hurry up and get it out, the first season will be launched in the later stage, and if the effect is good, the later part of the second season will be done more carefully.

If it doesn't work out well, the second season will be less of a waste of money.

Doing business, that's nothing more than that, you have to stop losses if you can't make money.

Just when Su Mu was helping with Zana, he saw the director come over with an old man dressed very ordinarily and with gray hair.

This is the master invited by the producer.

The auspicious time has arrived, and the opening ceremony is officially held.

It's not the first time that Zana has participated in this kind of ritual, but like Sumu, it is the first time to participate in the ritual of the paranormal drama.

He was in awe of this and bowed to the master seriously.

At this time, the two armed policemen stood on both sides, holding steel qiāng, standing upright, inexplicably giving people a strong sense of security.

Even more so than the sun above your head.

The red velvet cloth is spread on a long tabletop, and the Jade Emperor is enshrined in the center, and on the left and right is a Zhong Kui, and the other is the King of Yama.

The three gods are in the middle, and in front of them is a huge incense burner, which is used for people to make incense.

In addition to the incense burner, there are also various foods, such as a roast suckling pig in the center, and other fruits, pears and peaches, which fill the entire table.

Everyone first offered incense and prayed for good weather and health during the shooting.

Subsequently, the director personally used a knife to roast the suckling pig and cut it from head to tail with a knife, which means that the head is good and the tail is smooth.

Finally, the red cloth on the camera is lifted, which means that the official boot is officially completed.

At this time, the director took Su Mu, Zana, Yu Yi and several other main creators and followed the master into the convenience store.

This is the main base for filming, and some rituals are also needed, that is, under the leadership of the master, say hello to everything unknown, indicating that it will be filmed here, there is no other meaning, if you are disturbed, please forgive me.

A set of procedures went down, there was no abnormality, and everyone settled down.

Going out again, the invited fighters are already gone, and wasting a few minutes is already a long time for them.

Su Mu pulled Zana to an inconspicuous corner and said with a smile, "Mina, how do you feel?"

"Fortunately, it's actually similar to filming Xianxia dramas, and there are also very complicated rituals when filming "Xuanyuan Sword". Zana smiled sweetly.

Aunt Cai started her family in Xiangjiang, where she attaches great importance to various ceremonies.

In the past, there were no rituals for filming in the mainland, and most of them came from there.

"Well, it's going to be busy for a few months, have you said hello to your uncle and aunt, and you haven't been able to go back to see them for a long time. ”

"Hehe, I've said it a long time ago, and they also said that they want me to film well. Moreover, my sister knew that I was going to film with you, and asked me to ask you for an autographed photo, she is your fan. ”

"Mina, didn't you tell your sister about us?" asked Su Mu subconsciously.

Hearing this, Zana's face darkened: "I didn't tell her." ”

How embarrassed is she to say this situation?

Although her sister is a flight attendant, she has traveled from south to north and south, and she is also experienced, but whether she can accept her following Su Mu like this is still two words.

People are double standard, some things, it is nothing that happens to others, and it may not be acceptable if it happens to relatives.

Seeing Zana's expression, Su Mu also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and reached out to rub her hair.

The two just basked in the sun, waiting for the first scene to start filming.
