Chapter 678: Turn on
Early in the morning, Cheng Xiaoyu took Su Yuxi and Xu Qinning to Longhua Temple to pray for blessings, the reason why they went to Longhua Temple was because they rented a dojo there, and where they planned to get the incense worship for the opening ceremony. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Birthday actually has no special meaning for Su Yuxi, although the company gave her a leave today, but her plan is to go to class, and there is no special plan.
But Cheng Xiaoyu had to drag her to the launching ceremony of "My Sassy Girlfriend", and she didn't refuse, anyway, everything was almost the same for her.
The three of them arrived at the venue of Longhua Temple to start worshipping God, and at this time the entire crew had all arrived, but anyone who had mixed in the film and television industry knew that filming could wait, but worshipping God could not wait.
Originally, worshipping God was to find a good day and auspicious day, and to find a treasure of feng shui, and at the same time to look at the weather, Zhu Wei asked the master to calculate a hexagram and asked Cheng Xiaoyu to pick one, Cheng Xiaoyu said in his heart Since it is a process, it is natural to follow my wishes, so I chose Su Yuxi's birthday.
In fact, Cheng Xiaoyu is not interested in this set, but most of the domestic crews have to go through this process, and some big-name stars don't even engage in incense worship, so they don't join the group, which has become a tradition.
When Cheng Xiaoyu arrived, he saw a camera set up on the flat ground ventilated on all sides, the camera was covered with a red cloth, and in front of the camera was placed a desk, on which the statue of Emperor Guan was enshrined, and on both sides were incense burners with cigarettes and delicious fruits and a crispy roast suckling pig in the middle.
Xu Qinning also looked at everything in front of her with a sense of novelty, in addition to filming MTV, it was the first time she had joined such a formal crew, Su Yuxi didn't come over, and stood in a distant place to watch.
Cheng Xiaoyu thought it was funny, looking at this chaotic ceremony and feeling a little nonsensical, not to mention the sacrifice of roast suckling pig in the temple, this worship of Guan Erye has a chicken feather relationship with making movies.
Although he was slandered in his heart, Cheng Xiaoyu still followed Zhu Wei's instructions, took the lead in holding incense and went forward to worship, and after worshipping, he worshiped in all directions.
followed by Xu Qinning and Lv Dawei, Lv Dawei had mixed with the crew, knew the rules very well, and completed the process seriously and meticulously, after the incense was finished, he took an apple, slashed up and down a few times, and then smashed it the ground in the direction he had worshipped.
If the apple is cracked and broken, it is counted: the year is safe.
If the apple hadn't been broken, it would have been a big bad luck.
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't smash the apple, looking at the piety of a group of people who went up to worship, he couldn't help but pull the experienced Chang Cheng and asked: "Brother Chang, your crew stays a lot, what use do you say we worship Guan Erye?"
Chang Cheng said with a smile: "Worshipping Second Master Guan is a habit from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and we don't actually worship this in the mainland." I worship the Lord of the Land........."
Seeing Cheng Xiaoyu's puzzled face, Zhu Wei next to him explained to Cheng Xiaoyu: "Most of the ancient man-made houses will have sacrifices before farming. Dozens of people filming are going to make a lot of trouble in this place for a long time, and doing a worship probably means that we are tossing something here, hoping that the land will accept it. It's also a sign of respect. ”
Chang Cheng smiled again and said: "That's the reason, but I worship the land master because I am from Chinese opera, in fact, every school worships differently." According to Jingdian, they worship Stanislavsky, according to our Chinese opera, they worship the land, and according to your opera, they worship the Quartet and the camera. ”
Hearing Chang Cheng say this, Cheng Xiaoyu was a little speechless, shook his head and said: "No wonder the camera has to be covered with a red cloth, but this makes sense, after all, the camera is the most important instrument for us." ”
Chang Cheng saw Cheng Xiaoyu's disapproving face, and said to Cheng Xiaoyu: "Director Cheng, this thing, I would rather believe that it exists, not believe that it is not, I have mixed more than 20 crews, large and small, anyway, everything I have experienced has not been worshipped, and something has happened, at that time in 02, I went to shoot the horror film "Pen Fairy", the director was a Korean who was invited, and he did not worship God before filming. As a result, the heroine Lin Keer was frightened by the "ghost" when she went to the toilet halfway, and she was mentally unstable, and finally the filming was terminated. There was also a film made by Beijing Film Studio in 99, and at that time, the big studios didn't do this, but a few staff members from Hong Kong proposed to worship it, but the leader said that it was not necessary, so he started filming without worshipping God, and the rocker arm with the camera was broken, and Alyssa smashed the ground vertically, killing a person. I didn't believe in evil back then, when I graduated from college, I would shoot homework, I didn't worship God, I withdrew the equipment after filming, and after half an hour of work, the computer and the materials in it were lost, and they were stolen by the labor staff on the spot, and all of them were lost. My classmates filmed another homework, and went to the Lama Temple to worship before the start of filming, which was filmed in the downtown area of Beijing, which was originally very unstable, but the whole process was smooth, and all kinds of passers-by pulled out their knives to help, not only finished filming in advance, but also saved a lot of budget. I wondered if it was a mental effect or if it was really like that........."
Cheng Xiaoyu and Xu Qinning were amazed when they heard it.
Zhu Wei also added: "If you want to say that it is superstition, then it is true that the top management of the production team are all progressive young people from institutions of higher learning, and the elders who have seen strong winds and waves, who don't know that this is superstition, everyone knows that this is unscientific." But sometimes the more you see, the more you find that you have too little control. Worship together, picture a peace of mind, picture a lively, picture a determination of everyone to unite. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu nodded yes, and his mentality was not contemptuous of this kind of feudal superstition.
Chang Cheng also said a few more common sense about making ghost movies, what must be killed live pigs for sacrifice, and those who play the role of dead people must have red envelopes on the soles of their feet, which can be regarded as making Cheng Xiaoyu more knowledgeable, but Xiaoyu has no plans to make ghost movies.
After the start-up ceremony, the first set of shots will be filmed on the outskirts of the city tomorrow, and the crew will disperse.
Cheng Xiaoyu took Su Yuxi and Xu Qinning to Longhua Temple to offer incense, since they came, it was another special day, they couldn't say goodbye, Zhou Peipei stayed here for more than half a month during the earthquake, Cheng Xiaoyu and Su Yuxi returned safely, and Zhou Peipei also wished to add another 500,000 sesame oil money.
After the three of them finished offering incense in Longhua Temple, Cheng Xiaoyu said that he would take Su Yuxi and Xu Qinning to the IFC for dinner, and at this time both of them were still in the dark by Cheng Xiaoyu, not knowing that Cheng Xiaoyu had prepared a special gift for Su Yuxi.
When they went towards the IFC, Duanmu Linsha, who received Cheng Xiaoyu's message, was also organizing people to rush to the IFC.
When Cheng Xiaoyu handed her this plan a few days ago, Duanmu Linsha felt that Su Yuxi was so happy, and the proper Guoyao Brother series, doing her best to create surprises for her sister's birthday, was really moving.
Duanmu Linsha thought to herself that if Cheng Xiaoyu was so attentive to herself, what a sweet thing it would be.
