Section 198: Start-up ceremony
The start-up ceremony was held on No. 2 Street, District 2 of Minguo Street, and there was a book tied on the walls on both sides of the intersection "TV series "Latent" Launching Ceremony", and below was a sacrificial table, on which there were already roast suckling pigs, fruits, incense burners and other things to be used for start-up prayers, Shen Huan and the main creators were standing aside, waiting for the arrival of 11 o'clock - that was the auspicious time calculated by the master.
"It's annoying. ”
Song Yi was standing next to Shen Huan, dressed very simply, with a long sleeve on his upper body and a pair of jeans on his lower body, looking left and right boredly, and muttering a sentence in his mouth.
"It's going to be right away. ”
Shen Huan whispered to her casually.
After Song Yi looked left and right, he glanced at the sacrificial table again, and then asked Shen Huan beside him: "Do you really believe that if you hold a start-up ceremony, the filming will go smoothly and the ratings will be high?"
Shen Huan didn't look at her, just looked in the direction of the sacrificial table, smiled, and asked, "Do you think I believe it?"
Song Yi thought for a while and said, "I think you believe it." Now the people who come from Xiangjiang will find someone to start the machine at the right time, and those on the mainland side will turn it on at any time, and you will go to find someone to calculate it. ”
"And you're writing books like that. ”
Song Yi added.
Shen Huan shook his head, and finally turned his head to look at Song Yi, thinking that there was still a little time, it was indeed a little boring to wait now, so he chatted with her: "I don't believe it, but I like this ceremony." From a psychological point of view, this can actually be regarded as a kind of psychological comfort, which can allow the crew to play a better state......"
The start-up ceremony can be said to be a unique product of Chinese culture, which originated from the old theater troupe, and later with the rise of the film industry, it was used in the film industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then it was transmitted back to China and has continued to the present.
Regarding the start-up ceremony, there are many mysterious sayings and examples circulating in the circle, and there is a very popular saying that it is to suppress evil spirits, and Shen Huan has heard many so-called cases of this whether in another world or in this world.
For example, in another world, a company wants to shoot a TV series with more than ten episodes, and the start-up ceremony is omitted because of the small number of episodes, and then there is a car accident on the road, and then when they are filming on campus, the film is pitch black, and the heroine's face has become the face of a woman who has passed away. This is a statement that does not name names, and there are some who directly name names, saying that when tins was filming "Ancient House X Panic", there were a lot of strange things, either the camera failed, or the young actors boycotted the shooting, and then an actor in the crew proposed to say that he wanted to burn incense and say goodbye in order to appease everyone's hearts?
Shen Huan doesn't believe in the statement of "a certain company" that doesn't name names, and even for those who are named, Shen Huan doesn't believe it, because he knows very well how the rumors are born and how much artificial processing will go through in the middle, but he still engages in the start-up ceremony, on the one hand, because of the psychological hints he told Song Yi, and on the other hand, he sees this as a cultural phenomenon.
The traditions of Chinese culture are becoming less and less now, and some innocuous traditions can be preserved as much as possible. And compared to Hollywood, which doesn't have a boot ceremony, this mysterious oriental culture is cool, isn't it?
After the two chatted here for a while, the auspicious time finally arrived.
Shen Huan, who deliberately wore a red dress and red pants today, took the lead, and the seven or eight main creators of the crew stood in a row behind him, and the group stood in front of the sacrificial table, and after Shen Huan respectfully put three incense sticks on behalf of the crew, several people stepped forward together, either pressing their hands on the back of Shen Huan's hands, or pressing them virtually, and cut the roast suckling pig on the sacrificial table together, and then the firecrackers next to them were lit, and after a crackling sound, Shen Huan personally walked over to the side and put the protagonist of today's scene on the scene- The red cloth on a camera covered with a red cloth is lifted, and the boot ceremony is complete. During this period, the media photographers who gathered in a circle kept taking photos and taking news materials.
After the start-up ceremony was completed, they entered the media interview session, basically all around Shen Huan, and the other main creators of the crew either had no one around, or one or two people who couldn't squeeze in picked up some leftovers, and asked a few words casually, looking a little embarrassed.
There's no way, the drama "Latent" is famous for one Shen Huan, who are the others? Let's not talk about the behind-the-scenes personnel, the public is not familiar with them, and basically no one knows them until the director level, the crew of "Latent" obviously doesn't have such a coffee, even those actors, they don't know each other at all, one by one, they are crooked and cracked, and they are not famous, they really don't have any desire to interview, and no one wants to read the news that is written.
The heroine looks good, it's beautiful, but it's still not famous. Under such a comparison, it naturally caused the current situation that everyone flocked to Shen Huan.
"Director Shen, may I ask why you invited some new actors to shoot this play? Didn't you send an invitation to the other members of the F4 group and Li Manshu?"
A bunch of microphone sticks and clubs came under Shen Huan's nose, and a person with the loudest voice took the lead in asking a question.
Li Manshu still didn't take his scene in the end, listening to her agent's meaning, it seemed that she was giving her a heroine to consider, but the second female didn't think about it, so Shen Huan simply stopped asking for it and found an actress to replace the role. In terms of fame, the actress he re-found is definitely not as good as Li Manshu, but he doesn't plan to disrupt his layout for a Li Manshu.
His principle is very clear, if it is not suitable, it is not suitable, but of course he will not tell the truth, but give a very official universal answer: "Of course I sent an invitation, but everyone's schedule is a little problematic, so it is a pity that we can't work together this time." After a pause, he continued: "Also, they are not rookie actors, they are all veteran actors who have been in the circle for a long time, I believe in their business ability, which is why I asked them to shoot, I believe that after this drama is broadcast, everyone will agree with my casting very much." ”
"Director Shen, everyone knows that you are still writing, and this is the sudden start of another play, can you handle it? Will this affect the quality of this play?"
Shen Huan deliberately glanced at the reporter who asked the question.
Is this a red envelope that is not stuffed?
But he also answered this question: "Of course not, our crew will strictly follow the union system, work 8 hours a day, never overtime, and have a lot of time left every day." Writing at this time can also allow me to change my brain, soothe the nerves of a day's intense work, and play a relaxing role, which I think is beneficial to the filming of this drama. ”
"Director Shen......"
"Director Shen......"
……
The media surrounded Shen Huan, and several other main actors stood on the side, no one cared, which was really embarrassing, but it was even more embarrassing if they couldn't go. Fortunately, when Shen Huan was interviewed by reporters, he extended the topic from time to time, pulled two strong men in to introduce them, and let them show their faces and say a few words in front of the media, which slightly alleviated the embarrassing atmosphere, and also made several main actors have a good impression of Shen Huan, and felt that this director was really good.
