Chapter 7 Start-up press conference

A few days later, the crew's start-up ceremony was held at the resort. However, because the main creator of the crew is from Xiangjiang, the start-up ceremony is slightly different from the start-up ceremony of the domestic crew.

The most important content of the opening ceremony of Xiangjiang films is to worship the gods, although now Xiangjiang films are thin and more and more depressed, but their film traditions and customs have always been retained. It is said that because some filmmakers in the early days believed that the camera would affect the soul and alarm the cow, horse, snake and god, they had to worship God for peace when the film was turned on, and later it developed into a ritual of worshipping the god when the camera was turned on.

In the past, Cheng Peng didn't believe in this, but now he still doesn't believe it, but he also has some awe of some mysterious power in the underworld, otherwise he can't explain those memories in his head.

The time to turn on the camera and worship the gods is half past nine in the morning, and this time is the "auspicious time" calculated by the director at a high price to ask the feng shui master, as for whether the feng shui master really has the ability to calculate feng shui, only God knows.

The long table of eight immortals is covered with red cloth on the top, and various tributes are placed on it, and in the middle is a suckling pig that has been roasted and browned, which makes people have a great appetite and move their index fingers at a glance. In front of the suckling pig is placed an incense table, and a bronze incense burner stands in the center.

When Cheng Peng came to the scene, many people were already there, everyone was happy, standing in the center of the scene talking and laughing, especially Liang Jingke and Lei Ling, this was their first time making a movie, and their whole faces were filled with a layer of joy.

"You two came so early!" Cheng Peng walked over, said hello, and chatted with them.

Soon Huang Xiaoming and the others also came, several young people talked and laughed together, and the center of the venue was suddenly filled with youthful vitality, and even the air seemed to be wafting with joy.

Soon the time to start the film came, and the host found by the crew was an old man with a long beard, a childish face, and a godly demeanor, he stood in front of the incense case, looking at the crowd and shouting solemnly: "Stand up, stand up, ready to worship God!" ”

The chaotic crowd moved when they heard this, and lined up in front of the incense case. According to the convention, the director stood first, and Hong Jingbao, Huang Xiaoming and others stood behind, and the team was lined up, and it was long. Cheng Peng is only a supporting role, but he is also a relatively important role, standing quite at the front, pulling a large group of people behind him.

When everyone was standing, the old man announced in a loud voice, "The auspicious time has come, prepare to worship God!" ”

A group of people bowed and worshiped God, and then followed the producer and director to come forward to offer incense, which was regarded as offering incense and seeking peace.

After the incense was finished, director Li Jiongkai cut it with a handful of roast suckling pig, and some firecrackers were also lit, indicating that the new film was booming and a big hit at the box office. Immediately afterwards, Li Jiongkai cut the suckling pig into small pieces and shared it with everyone around him, which was quite a bit of the heroism of "Water Margin".

In the end, Li Jiongkai walked to a camera covered by a red cloth, pulled down the red cloth, and announced loudly with an excited face: ""Longwei Father and Son, turn on!" ”

After all the main creators of the crew took a group photo, Cheng Peng took the initiative to take a group photo with the three beauties, he believed that he would have a lot of cooperation with Huang Xiaoming in the future, and Hong Tianming may also have it, but the opportunities for the three girls to cooperate may be relatively small, and without their names in their memory, I am afraid that they will be unknown to everyone.

There was a press conference after the start-up ceremony, and these tributes were not only shared by the crew, but also by the reporters, and the director was very good at doing things and sprinkled some red envelopes on reporters, the red envelopes were not very big, the intention was here, and eating and taking these reporters at least would not maliciously slander.

Cheng Peng knows that this is not a very good habit, it will nurture some people's appetite, and gradually become an unspoken rule, and later, if you don't send us red envelopes, we will collectively give you a bad review when the movie is released. Sometimes, some movies have been smeared on a large scale before they have been officially released, that is, the red envelopes are not in place.

The time of the press conference was set for 11 o'clock, and the actors took advantage of this time to change into beautiful costumes, all of them were glamorous, ready to let the reporters take pictures in the best condition.

A few minutes before the press conference began, Cheng Peng and the others gathered in the backstage of the conference, Huang Xiaoming and they were all talking and laughing, only Liang Jingke and Lei Ling kept walking around, looking nervous and a little restless.

Cheng Peng didn't speak, with a shallow smile on his face, and sat there quietly. He was waiting, waiting for the moment when his light would light up the whole stage.

At eleven o'clock, under Li Jiongkai's order, several main actors followed in turn and walked to the stage with smiles.

Cheng Peng's smile was confident and indifferent, as if he had experienced countless such scenes, straightened his clothes, straightened his waist, stood at the back of the line, walked on the stage, and walked into the first press conference in his life.

What catches your eye is the crowd of black oppressives, one after the other, like dense pomegranate seeds. He couldn't see their faces, but he could feel the countless gazes, the anticipation, the joy, the enthusiasm, and the countless feelings and emotions that stirred in the heart.

Everyone wants to be a star, and what they want is the feeling of being surrounded by such eyes!

Cheng Peng and they are lined up in order, the order of standing is very particular, they can't stand randomly, the two protagonists stand in the middle, Liang Jingke and Lei Ling stand beside them, and Cheng Peng and Deng Zhaoxin stand at both ends.

After today's protagonists have all posed, a dazzling light erupted from the audience. All the flashes burst into light almost simultaneously, and the room was suddenly enveloped in intense flashes.

Cheng Peng's eyes were snow-white, and then he fell into endless darkness, and a feeling of dizziness floated up, which reminded him of the scene when he inadvertently looked up at the sun overhead on a summer afternoon, strong light, darkness, and vertigo.

After a brief loss of consciousness, Cheng Peng's tense body relaxed again in an instant, and he controlled his smile, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, keeping him in the best condition.

The host's opening remarks were quite humorous, which made the audience laugh, and then began to introduce some basic information about the movie.

Then it was the actors' turn to introduce themselves, one by one, from the middle to both sides, and soon it was Cheng Peng's turn.

Cheng Peng bowed to everyone with a faint smile and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Cheng Peng, playing Zheng Fuqiang in the movie." Although I have starred in some TV series before, but the movie is the first time, I am completely a newcomer, I will work hard in the next day, try my best to play the role well, I hope you can support "Longwei Father and Son" more! ”

After a brief self-introduction, the host began to ask questions to several actors in turn, and each actor had a question, so that everyone could have a better understanding of the actors and the characters of the movie. Cheng Peng had already guessed that his question was not how he felt when he participated in a movie for the first time, or what he felt about working with Sammo Hung . There was no difficulty in this kind of question for him, and he answered it fluently.

However, after the time for free questions came, Cheng Peng became idle. Almost all the problems are focused on the director, Huang Xiaoming and Sammo Hung . Even Liang Jingke, the heroine, only occasionally has one or two questions thrown over, Deng Zhaoxin and Hong Tianming are ignored, and Cheng Peng is completely treated as air.

Cheng Peng knew that this would be the case, and this is how the newcomer came, and he did not feel disappointed because of this. Because it was the first time to participate in this kind of activity as an actor, he felt quite fresh, standing next to him and watching with great interest, watching Huang Xiaoming and how they dealt with reporters. However, after a few questions, Cheng Peng felt quite bored, his speech was flat, the questions were not sharp, they were completely harmonious, and there was nothing to see.

I don't know if God saw Cheng Peng's boredom and wanted to refresh him, a young reporter stood up and threw the question to Cheng Peng: "I am a reporter from "Southern Entertainment", Mr. Cheng Peng, I heard that Wu Jialong also participated in the casting of Zheng Fuqiang, and I originally hoped to co-star with my father, but you got this role, what did you rely on to impress the director?" ”

What kind of problem is this, I look more handsome than Wu Jialong, my kung fu is better than him, and my acting skills are even better, who do I choose? Cheng Peng was quite unimpressed with this question, but Taizu once said that he must guard against arrogance and rashness, and must maintain a modest and cautious style. As a good young man in the new century under the red flag, of course it is impossible to say such words, he took the microphone and said with a smile: "I think it should be a performance!" Actually, I'm quite curious about this question, so I'll help you ask the director. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Li Jiongkai and asked, "Director, I know I'm handsome, but you definitely didn't choose me because I'm handsome, right?" ”

Everyone at the scene laughed, and Li Jiongkai also laughed, he held the microphone, looked at the reporters in the audience and explained: "We definitely fancy Cheng Peng not just because he is handsome, but the result of comprehensive consideration, his conditions in all aspects are top-notch." You may not believe it when I say this now, but when the movie is released, you will know when you go to the cinema to see it, and I am sure that his performance will surprise everyone. ”

The reporter wanted to continue to ask questions, but the host prompted: "I would like to ask questions from the next media outlet." ”

Someone immediately snatched the microphone, and the problem returned to Huang Xiaoming and the others. Hong Jingbao glanced at Cheng Peng undetectably, from the stage to the face of reporters, he was always calm, light-hearted, and dared to joke with the director, he couldn't tell that he was a newcomer, this young man was not simple!;
