Chapter 41: The Ritual of Worshipping the Gods
"Haha, Lingzi has become a big celebrity after not seeing him for so long." Yuan Xiaobiao, Yuan Xiaokui, Lin Zhengying, Wu Xiaoma, and Zhong Xiaofa of the Hong family's class were laughing around Liang Jinling.
"Where, where, everyone has won the prize." Liang Jinling hurriedly replied modestly while handing out cigarettes and newly printed business cards to everyone. "Lingzai, what about the novel you promised me? The search for Qin has been serialized. It makes me spend money to buy newspapers every day, huh. Yuan Xiaobiao grabbed Liang Jinling's sleeve and questioned him.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot about it." Liang Jinling really forgot about it, and wrote it down to Yuan Xiaobiao to show Yuan Xiaobiao.
"Alright, alright, can you eat a novel as a meal? I haven't gone over to prepare to worship God and start work," Senior Brother Hong Jinbao came over to relieve the siege, "Hehe, Lingzai, I just saw that you seem to have come down from a Mercedes-Benz, are you a new purchase, can you lend it to me for a ride in the future." Hong Jinbao put his arm around Liang Jinling's shoulders and begged for a car enviously.
"This, Brother Sanmao, my car has not been licensed, and I can lend it to you when it is licensed."
"Okay, that's it." Hong Jinbao patted Liang Jinling on the shoulder.
"Come and worship God, everyone." I saw the great director Xu Guanwen shouting on the set with a loudspeaker.
"Let's go, let's go and worship God." As the action director of this play, Hong Jinbao waved his hand and led everyone over.
The start-up worship ceremony is a feature of Hong Kong films, because Lingnan people are very superstitious, whether it is the opening of a business, the opening of a stall, or the opening of an industry, they must worship God, bless themselves with abundant financial resources, smooth sailing, good luck and bad luck. People in each place worship different gods, when they go to sea to worship Mazu, when they open factories, they worship the god of wealth and wealth, and when they open restaurants, they worship the god of wealth and the king of stoves.
And Chaoshan people talk about righteousness, and the god they worship the most is Guan Gong, who is the head of righteousness, so Chaoshan people worship Guan Gong wherever they go and what industries they do, such as the police yard and the Chaozhou people in the underworld worship Guan Gong. And the Cantonese people and the Hakka people rarely worship Guan Gong, and even wonder why they worship Guan Gong.
Because filming was very dangerous in that era, there were often many accidents, not to mention that he was often injured when he was filming action scenes, and even the protagonist would often be injured, and Cheng Xiaolong almost died when he was filming the dragon brother and the tiger brother. Who doesn't want to be safe and sound, and who is a movie boss doesn't want their films to be box office hits, so they all go to worship God and ask for peace of mind.
Sometimes it can't be said to be the superstition of Hong Kong people, Hong Kong people often have many supernatural events when making movies, especially those who make ghost movies, not to mention the actresses who committed suicide in Shaw Brothers Film Company, in 1988, Feng Baobao "hit the ghost" incident when filming "Miss Phantom", which caused a sensation in Hong Kong, and Feng Baobao became sometimes normal and sometimes crazy (crazy) until 2016.
Mr. Zombie is spooky enough. Screenwriter Huang Xiaoying was killed by Big Ear Long (loan shark) and no one knew that he was stinky at home, and the screenwriters of "Ghost King" Huang Bingyao, Lin Zhengying and Xu Guanying all died young, and Wang Xiaofeng was named the "Ghost Queen" and went crazy many times to try to kill his husband! Qian Xiaohao was arrested for secretly filming the bottom of the girl's skirt with a portable video camera, Li Saifeng had a female with his godson, and was caught by her husband and in bed, and the two were ruined.
"Come and get a stick of incense and line up to worship God." I saw director Xu Guanwen directing everyone to line up to get incense with a loudspeaker. Liang Jinling, who was late, stood behind, and he pulled the female stand-in next to him, Yuan Xiaoqiu: "Sister Qiu, what kind of god are we worshipping, why do we only have tables, incense, firecrackers and tributes, and no statues of gods." ”
"I don't know what to worship, everyone worships us, maybe it's heaven and earth." At this time, Yuan Xiaoqiu, who was still a little thin, responded curiously.
Everyone followed the director, took the incense and bowed three times and began to take turns to serve the incense.
After worshipping God, he saw that everyone was busy with their own work, and Liang Jinling, the screenwriter, had nothing to do, at this time he saw Zhao Yuzhi walking towards the backstage, so he rolled his eyes, followed her in a daze, and walked to the backstage.
Seeing Zhao Yuzhi walking into the makeup artist, and there was no one else inside, Liang Jinling stepped forward quickly and hugged Zhao Meiren's small waist. "Sister Zhi, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I miss you so much." Liang Jinling hugged Zhao Yuzhi to buy cute and coquettish.
Zhao Yuzhi was startled after being hugged by someone, and her whole body was cold, and when she saw that it was Liang Jinling, she was angry, raised her hand and slapped his pair of funny five-fingered mountains, and said angrily: "I'm going to die, there are so many people outside, you came to tease me." ”
"It's okay, we're not doing anything that doesn't seem to be light, Sister Zhi, you haven't paid attention to me for a long time, don't you hate me."
"Alas, Ah Ling, don't force me, Huang Hanwei is still being treated in the hospital, how can I leave him in such a situation, or wait for him to get better, and then I will file for divorce." Zhao Yuzhi sighed.
"It's okay, Sister Zhi, I'm waiting for you, but we haven't seen each other for so long, I really miss you so much, it's better for us to 、、、。" Liang Jinling stretched his mouth over, blocked Zhao Yuzhi's lips that wanted to speak, and stuck his tongue in.
After a long time, Zhao Yuzhi tidied up her dress, walked out of the dressing room in the background, she stroked the messy soft hair on her head, turned her head and glanced at Liang Jinling, and scolded: "Pervert, villain." After saying that, he walked out of the backstage with his calves.
Liang Jinling smiled evilly, and waited for Zhao Yuzhi to leave, then tidied up his clothes and hairstyle, and left whistling.
Seeing that Xu Guanwen and they were rehearsing the play, Liang Jinling was really bored, although Xu Guanwen arranged a small role for Liang Jinling in the play, that is, in the soda factory, the one who talked to Xu Guanjie, and showed his face in the movie, but now it is not Liang Jinling's turn to play, and that small role does not need any acting skills.
At this time, Liang Jinling saw a person, it was him, a fierce man in later generations. Liang Jinling hurriedly walked to his side and stretched out his hands to make friends: "Hello Brother Xiong, my name is Liang Jinling, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Oh, it's a big screenwriter, Liang Sheng, hello, hello." Xu Shaoxiong saw that it was Liang Jinling, the screenwriter of this play, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to make friends.
Xu Shaoxiong is the apostle walker that Huanxi brother, he was born in Yangcheng Xiguan Wang clan, his prince Xu Yingqi is the godson of the Empress Dowager Cixi, the official worship of a product, the official to the Ministry of Rites, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Li Hongzhang at the same level, was given to ride a horse in the Forbidden City. The aunt is Lu Xun's wife Xu Guangping, and the uncle Xu Chongzhi is the eldest brother of Lao Jiang, the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army who founded the Whampoa Military Academy, and was stepped down by Lao Jiang, and the other uncle Xu Chongqing is the former director of the Yangcheng Education Bureau.
In addition, Xu Shaoxiong is related to one of the four major families in Hong Kong, the family of Xu Aizhou, the richest man in Zhanjiang Bay in the French lease (the Xu family that Li Jiaxin married). This is not the end, Xu Chongqing's daughter Xu Huijun is married to Zhu Guangya, a two-bomb and one-star meritorious service, and he is also related to Zhu Guangya, the father of the mainland's atomic bomb. This is a wealthy family.
"Brother Xiong, why didn't I see you when I worshipped God just now?" Liang Jinling was familiar with chatting with him.
"Oh, I was filming the top ten strange cases of Mai Jiexiong's TV station at Li's TV station, and I rushed over immediately after filming." Xu Shaoxiong replied embarrassedly.
"Ah, Brother Xiong, aren't you from TVB's artist training class? How did you go to Leigh's TV station to shoot a TV series? Liang Jinling looked curious.
"Alas, don't mention it, TVB's is really slamming the door, since Director Xu Guanwen brought me to star in the Double Star Annunciation and Ghost Horse Double Star, I Xu Shaoxiong is a little star, he TVB didn't even add a penny of wages, he still treated me as a trick, I went to Li's TV station in a fit of anger, Li's TV station is much more generous than TVB." Xu Shaoxiong scolded when he mentioned TVB, he didn't expect that future generations would hate to step on ATV's majesty in order to shoot TVB's sycophants.
"So, now that Brother Wen (Xu Guanwen) is going to film, I'll rush over immediately." Xu Shaoxiong was excited, if only this drama made him a little more popular, after all, the higher the fame, the higher the salary.
