Chapter 102: Turn on and worship God
The entertainment industry is Vanity Fair, and since ancient times, it has been the most intriguing and deceitful place in the world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the shadows under the gorgeous highlights, every day is filled with all sorts of filthy and dirty calculations. Every year, there are countless actors who are buried by intrigue and trickery, especially rookie actors.
The crew is a small microcosm of the entertainment industry, which is competing for fame and fortune, and is always full of various forces that are intertwined, with investors being one faction, actors being one faction, and directors being another.
Ding Yang is not from a professional class, nor is he a child star debut, without the support of seniors in the industry, he used to be a horizontal drifter, even if he became the third male in the movie in one step, but like a beggar who picked up a huge amount of money, he was naturally not accepted by those actors who claimed to be orthodox and high, and was naturally classified as a director. What's more, he suddenly got such a good opportunity, and the works that he hadn't taken before were naturally jealous, so it was reasonable to give him a dismount.
People are good at being bullied, horses are good at being ridden, the entertainment industry is not a place for warmth and affection, a place to take a step back and keep quiet, it will only fuel the arrogance of people with hearts, Ding Yang must show that he is not at the mercy of others.
Just as Ding Yang was about to have a seizure, suddenly a blonde and blue-eyed foreign beauty walked up to him, her golden hair was neatly combed, a dark purple professional suit, and a small moon-white silk shirt inside, asked in fluent Chinese: "Ding Yang?" ”
"Oh, it's me ......" Ding Yang stood up from his chair.
The blonde beauty nodded, and the two girls with exquisite makeup who came with him took off Ding Yang's clothes when they came up.
Ding Yang was just about to dodge, but the blonde beauty had already taken out a small comb from the personal bag to take care of his hair, that kind of extreme gentleness, between the feeling of mother and sister, Ding Yang forgot to dodge for a while.
"Who are you?"
“My.name.is.Helena.Jenny.Finn,you.can.also.call.my.Chinese.name,TangNa.”
"Donna?"
"Yes, you can also call me Helena directly, I was hired by Miss Li Feier to temporarily serve as your personal makeup artist and stylist."
Oh, it turned out that Fei'er inadvertently helped me again, Ding Yang was no longer struggling, obediently cooperated, they took out five or six sets of suits and leather shoes, and kept trying them on and matching them for him......
At this time, the red hat stood up crampedly, and said excitedly:
"You...... You are Teacher Helena, who won the 78th Oscar for Best Makeup the year before last...... That one? ”
"The Chronicles of Narnia got me the prize. That's all in the past. I'm going to requisition this place now, can I? Helena didn't even look at him and commanded.
"Of course...... Of course no problem, it's my pleasure, the ......" Red Hat scratched his head, a little nervous, and said:
"Can you ...... If it's convenient...... Let me see, I'm so excited to see you, I want to learn from you, you see, is that okay? ”
Helena frowned and said lightly, "Be quiet, don't make a noise, and don't ask questions." ”
The red hat nodded like garlic: "OKOK, I understand, I promise that there will be zero communication throughout the whole process, and I will never disturb you." ”
Ding Yang was also a little surprised, then this blonde beauty is still such a well-known figure, and she doesn't know how Li Fei'er invited her to Ding Yang to be her personal makeup artist.
No wonder Red Hat is so scared, for their makeup artist, seeing Helena is equivalent to the singer seeing Michael. Jackson, this is their pride and idol!
"Close your eyes and lean back. Take it easy. Helena commanded:
"Yes, the face shape is very good, the lines are also very distinct, and it is the first time I have seen such perfect facial features without using a knife. This saves us a lot of effort. Phil's vision is still good. ”
"Do you know Fei'er?" Ding Yang was a little embarrassed, to be honest, Helena's gaze at him at this time was not particularly friendly, but more like looking at a piece of goods.
"Of course, didn't she mention me to you? I met her when I was at Harvard Business School. Otherwise, who would have invited me to this little place? Okay, stop talking, I'm going to get started. Helena said as she pressed Ding Yang's head.
……
After finishing the makeup, Ding Yang had just walked out, and Ji Sheng suddenly rushed over, grabbed Ding Yang's sleeve and walked forward, while saying:
"Oh my God, why are you so slow? Why didn't anyone urge it, the plane worship ceremony is about to start, everyone has arrived, just waiting for you! Hurry up, you can wait when you turn it on, but you can't wait for worship. ”
Ding Yang didn't explain, and followed Ji Sheng all the way to the start-up ceremony. Everything was arranged, Ding Yang found a good position and stood according to Ji Sheng's instructions, and then listened to the arrangement of the feng shui master to complete the worship ceremony step by step.
In the current Chinese film and television industry, whenever a new film (drama) starts shooting, there must be a start-up ceremony. That is, choose a good day and an auspicious day to engage in a worship ceremony.
Generally speaking, at the opening ceremony, the table used for worship is covered with red velvet cloth, and the table is dedicated to Emperor Guan, flanked by incense burners and roast suckling pig and delicious fruits. Usually, the camera is covered with a red cloth, and then the main creator of the crew worships God in turn, and finally lifts the red cloth of the machine to announce the start-up.
It is said that this procedure first came from the fear of "slicing". The so-called "scribing" refers to the early days of film, when the film in the camera was accidentally scratched by the parts inside during shooting. If "scribing" occurs, it will cause immeasurable losses to the crew, but the machine scribing is unpredictable and difficult to prevent - the only thing that can be done is to cover the camera with a red cloth to "suppress evil spirits".
In the past, there was no such ceremony in the mainland, which was transmitted from Hong Kong movies, and now it is generally accepted by everyone.
This is also normal. It's not just filming. For example, the housewarming of a new house, the opening of the stock market, the groundbreaking ceremony, etc., can be worshiped to God. Hope that the next thing will go well. Nor can it be generalized as superstition
After all, making TV and movies is also a dangerous job, and I don't see many people asking for stand-ins, praying to God for peace, and fishermen going to sea to worship Mazu.
Because China is a traditional country after all, we still attach great importance to and respect some things about gods, ghosts and Buddhas. There is also a beautiful implication that I hope to bless everyone with all the best during the rehearsal period, and that the drama can be liked and affirmed by everyone.
