'Chen Shao, you're here, please come in'

As soon as Chen Yihua got out of the car, he saw today's protagonist Xu Guanwen standing at the door to receive guests, and Xu Guanwen saw Chen Yihua hurriedly come over to say hello.

Xu Guanwen knew that Chen Yihua had never experienced today's events before, he was definitely not familiar with it, and he didn't know many guests, so Xu Guanwen was not ready to do his reception work, and let Xu Guanwu next to him do the reception instead, and he himself accompanied Chen Yihua and prepared to introduce the guests to Chen Yihua.

Today is the opening ceremony of the movie "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", and as the largest investor of the film, Chen Yihua is of course obliged to attend this ceremony.

The progress of the preliminary preparation of "Half a Pound and Eight Two" is very fast, and Xu Guanwen himself has great expectations for this movie, so he is particularly concerned, the "Genius and Idiot" he cooperated with Golden Harvest has just been completed, and before the film is released, Xu Guanwen is impatient to hold the opening ceremony of the movie "Half a Pound and Eight Two".

Originally, Xu Guanwen wanted to do this start-up ceremony earlier, when he introduced the crew members of "Half a Pound and Eight Two" to Chen Yihua, the members of the crew were basically all found at that time, and Xu Guanwen could start filming "Half a Pound and Eight Two", but Chen Yihua didn't want to be in such a hurry, and knew that Xu Guanwen's previous drama had not yet been completed, and he didn't agree to shoot "Half a Pound and Eight Two" in such a hurry.

As soon as Xu Guanwen's movie was finished, he chose a festival to prepare for the filming of "Half a Pound and Eight Two", and today the opening ceremony of "Half a Pound and Eight Two" was held in Golden Harvest Studio, Chen Yihua walked into the studio and obviously saw that many people were busy.

'Director Xu, you're busy with yours, I'll just take a look for myself, don't worry about me' Knowing that as the organizer and the director of the film, Xu Guanwen must be very busy today, Chen Yihua is embarrassed to let him stay with him all the time, and Chen Yihua doesn't want him to be by his side anymore, because he has seen a beautiful woman and doesn't want multiple light bulbs around him.

Zhao Yazhi, Xu Guanjie, and Shi Jian are standing together, they are all actors in the crew of "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", it's not that they don't work, because they will shoot later, they all wear a little makeup, so it's not good to help.

Chen Yihua and the actors of the crew of "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" have met once, and when they met, Chen Yihua also invited everyone to have a meal together, and they were a little familiar with each other, seeing Chen Yihua walking towards them, Shi Jian and Xu Guanjie took the initiative to say hello to Chen Yihua.

"Miss Zhao, long time no see" said hello to a few people, Chen Yihua and Zhao Yazhi talked, he was not interested in talking to those men, and when he came over, he aimed his eyes at Zhao Yazhi, the most beautiful person in the crowd.

Zhao Yazhi heard Chen Yihua say this, and smiled on his elegant face, "Mr. Chen, how can I not see each other for a long time, I remember that the last time we met was only a week?"

Stunned for a moment, Chen Yihua didn't expect Zhao Yazhi to be so dignified and gentle to speak, and smiled, "Miss Zhao, I'm different from you, I haven't seen such a beautiful lady like you for a few days, and I haven't seen it for a long time."

'Hehe, Mr. Chen is really good at talking' After listening to Chen Yihua's words, Zhao Yazhi's face immediately bloomed with a charming smile.

The two talked and laughed for a while, and it was not until the opening ceremony was about to start that the staff on the set came to direct everyone to take their seats, and Chen Yihua and Zhao Yazhi ended the conversation.

In later generations, film start-up ceremonies were generally held, and for producers, the start-up ceremony was an opportunity to promote the film, and at that time, the producers would invite many reporters to build momentum and promote the film.

Xu Guanwen is very famous in the Hong Kong film industry, especially when his first self-directed and self-starred play is a big hit, many Hong Kong media newspapers are very curious about Xu Guanwen's upcoming film, and there is no need for Xu Guanwen to lobby, those reporters, they are basically uninvited.

In 76, the film opening ceremony was very important, but publicity was not the most important thing for the film to start, at this time, the opening ceremony of Hong Kong films would not take the initiative to invite reporters to come, and it would not be as heavy as later generations.

Hong Kong people are very superstitious, for them, the most important thing in the opening ceremony is to worship God, Hong Kong movies must worship God before starting, because dramas are usually exclusive to celebrities, and then it is not a myth or sometimes the plot will anger the local gods or anger the good brothers and so on, so Hong Kong will have a worship ceremony before the filming.

Hong Kong people feel that worshipping a god before the start of the film is on the one hand to inform the gods of all parties that they are filming and not the real event, and on the other hand, to inform the gods in advance that they will borrow the venue so as not to disturb the sacred or anger the sacred, and it is also to pray for the blessing of the gods of all parties to make the play successfully completed.

In later generations, the main purpose of the producer was to take the opportunity to gather all the actors during the worship of God to facilitate the interviews of reporters for publicity to increase the ratings of the play.

Although the publicity of the opening ceremony in 76 was not the most important, as long as there were reporters, they would definitely answer questions from reporters before the ceremony began, so as to promote the film.

Before the opening ceremony of "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" began, Xu Guanwen and the main actors of the crew stood on a temporary wooden platform to answer questions from reporters, and a promotional poster was hung behind the stage.

"Director Xu, your last drama "Genius and Idiot" has not yet been released, why are you preparing to start filming a new film under such a situation?" a reporter took the lead in asking.

'Because I like the story of this play very much, good stories are not easy to meet, as a director, you can make a movie with a good theme, just like a swordsman gets a good sword, of course I want to see the power quickly' Xu Guanwen answered a reporter's question This is not the first time, he has a lot of experience, he will not feel any nervousness, and he is not in a hurry when answering, and he is methodical.

'Director Xu, does it mean that the box office performance of your drama is definitely higher than that of your first drama last year?'

'The box office results of the movie are not announced until the last minute, and no one can be 100% sure of its results, but I am very confident in this play'

Hong Kong reporters are generally not very chaotic when they ask questions at the opening ceremony of the movie, but they are quite orderly, a bit like later generations, they all raise their hands to ask questions.

"Miss Zhao Yazhi, I heard that you are the heroine of this play, you have never acted before, do you think you can handle this role?" When the second reporter asked again, he turned the finger to Zhao Yazhi on the side.

"Hehe, I'm sorry everyone, because of the limited time, today's opening ceremony is mainly for me to answer your questions, if you have any questions, you can ask me" Xu Guanwen explained before he took the stage, so that everyone does not have to answer reporters' questions.

"Director Xu, I heard that the screenwriter of this play is someone else, and the plays you directed and acted in the past were all written by you yourself, but now that this screenwriter has been replaced by someone else, can you still have so much confidence in this movie?"

'I don't think I have to use my own story when filming, as long as it's a good script, I won't let it go'

'Director Xu, I am personally very curious about who this screenwriter is, and has he written any movies before?'

'This journalist friend, I'm really sorry, for special reasons, the screenwriter of this play doesn't want to reveal his information, I can only have nothing to say'

'Director Xu, I heard that your last movie "Genius and Idiot" has been completed, do you think the box office performance can surpass your first play、、、、、、、、、、、、

Although Chen Yihua is the largest investor of "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", he did not stand on the stage, but sat in the audience, Chen Yihua attended this opening ceremony not to expose himself, not to appear in front of the media, for Chen Yihua This kind of opening ceremony is still very attractive, after all, I only saw the report in my previous life, and I didn't really feel it on the spot.

Xu Guanwen probably stood on the stage for more than ten minutes, and then finished answering reporters' questions, and then the start-up ceremony officially began.

The red cloth wrapped on the table is placed on the incense table and tribute, there is an auspicious time to worship the gods, and there must be a master to help, the master is Mr. Feng Shui, Hong Kong people value Feng Shui very much, there are many such professionals in Hong Kong, and the famous Feng Shui master is not someone who wants to see it.

Calculating the time, a feng shui master wearing a Republic of China coat and holding a peachwood sword took the lead with his two apprentices.

'The time is up' I saw that the master said this with full of anger, and with a swing of the peachwood sword, the two apprentices behind him began to make various tributes and ignite the paper money charm.

After about twenty minutes, the feng shui master's performance ended, Xu Guanwen looked very experienced, and without waiting for the master's instructions, he came to the front of the incense case with the members of the crew.

Each member of the crew held a set of incense in their hands, first worshiped God and prayed for blessings, the feng shui master chanted on the side, and then Xu Guanwen was the first to put on incense, and the members of the crew followed him to finish the incense, and a set of processes went down, which took nearly forty minutes in total before the worship ceremony finally ended.
