Since the Xu brothers unified their opinions and agreed to cooperate with Chen Shaoyi, Xu Guanwen took his three younger brothers to the Surabaya Tea House the next day.

Although Xu Guanwu and the three of them had already learned about Chen Shaoyi's youth from the mouth of their eldest brother Xu Guanwen, when they really saw Chen Shaoyi's real person, they couldn't help but feel deeply surprised by Chen Shaoyi's age, and were surprised that Chen Shaoyi was already so good at such a young age; You must know that their brothers are already very outstanding people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but they did not have Chen Shaoyi's achievements at Chen Shaoyi's age, and at that time they were just a small trick or a small service staff in the crew, who had just stepped into the door of the showbiz and belonged to one of the lowest figures in the showbiz.

And Chen Shaoyi's performance is very decent, Xu Guanwu and the three of them are heartbroken by Chen Shaoyi, and feel that Chen Shaoyi is really a great new figure in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

So under the deliberate friendship between the two sides, in just half a day, Chen Shaoyi and the Xu brothers called brother and brother, which was so good, just like the eight worships that they had befriended.

After Chen Shaoyi signed the contract with the Xu brothers, the rest of the things were the Xu brothers' affairs, such as contacting the supporting actors, adjusting their schedules, contacting the venue, especially Sha Tin Racecourse, and organizing a large-scale crew. Chen Shaoyi didn't understand these things, and he could only let the Xu brothers go out.

However, Chen Shaoyi was still very interested in these trivial things, so in the next week, Chen Shaoyi accompanied the Xu brothers to run before and after, but he was never tired of it.

The Xu brothers did not have too much rejection of the "tail" that followed them, they just wanted to have more contact with Chen Shaoyi, and Chen Shaoyi was willing to do these initial preparations, and they were also willing to let Chen Shaoyi participate.

A week later, the crew of "Modern Bodyguard" was finally established, everything was in place, and they were waiting to pick a good day and prepare to start filming.

It has to be mentioned here that Hong Kong is a very superstitious place, especially in Hong Kong in the 80s. These can be seen in Hong Kong film and television dramas, what Guan Gong, Sanqing, and Bodhisattva are all the objects of their worship, in this regard, not only Hong Kong citizens have such ideas, but those rich people are even more enthusiastic about this.

Hong Kong's wealthy have to be instructed by a feng shui master for their home and business addresses, and the layout of their rooms is set up by a feng shui master, and they prefer the kind of objects that have been consecrated by enlightened monks in temples.

All in all, with the widespread demand of the public, Hong Kong has become a paradise for Chinese Buddhism, Taoism, and even foreign Christianity, and I don't know how many "talents" in this area have been raised.

Of course, Hong Kong's entertainment industry can't avoid dealing with superstition and other inexplicable things.

A film and television drama in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is not something you can start when you say it, first of all, you have to find a respected master to help you pinch your fingers and calculate, which day is the right day to start, it is said that this is conducive to the box office guarantee of the film. Secondly, on the day of the opening, all the crew must pay homage to the gods and Buddhas together, ask them to give them a smooth shooting of the film, and also wish the future box office success of the film they are about to start.

In his previous life, Chen Shaoyi accepted [***] theory, although he did not learn well, but it did not prevent him from becoming an "excellent" atheist.

Therefore, Chen Shaoyi was very puzzled by the Xu brothers' enthusiasm for this, and asked Xu Guanjie in a virtual way.

"I said Brother Jie, don't you say it's just a boot ceremony, is it necessary to be so troublesome?"

Xu Guanjie patted Chen Shaoyi affectionately and said with a smile: "I said Brother Shaoyi, you don't understand this, in fact, it makes sense that the boot ceremony is so complicated." ”

"What's the truth, Brother Jie, tell me about it." Chen Shaoyi's curiosity was aroused by Xu Guanjie.

Xu Guanjie pretended to smile mysteriously: "Do you know what we are most afraid of when we are filming? ”

"What are you most afraid of?" Chen Shaoyi fell into thought, thought for a while and replied, "It should be the box office." ”

"That's what I'm worried about after the film is filmed, I'm talking about when it's filmed, do you know what it is?"

"I really don't know this, I haven't experienced it, this is the first time I've participated in a film and television drama, so I don't know much about this aspect." Chen Shaoyi shook his head and said he didn't know.

Xu Guanjie smiled, everyone is the same, for things that others don't know, and he knows, there will always be some smugness in his heart.

"During the filming process, what I am most afraid of is the unhappiness during filming."

"Not going well? What do you say, Brother Jie, come and hear it. ”

"This thing is amazing, sometimes the crew can shoot the expected scenes smoothly in one day, and even add scenes; But sometimes it's not so smooth, the first one is that the sky is not beautiful, when the crew is going to shoot an outside scene, give you a few days of rainstorm or typhoon or something, so that your entire crew will stop filming for a few days. Secondly, the problem of actors, many of the current actors have to rush many times a day, you don't know if he will be injured in other crews, the supporting roles are fine, if the protagonist is seriously injured, what do you say the crew should do, it is not to stop and rest for a few days and wait for the leading actor to recover, and the crew is resting, and the labor expenses are not stopped for you, which invisibly increases the investment cost of the film and increases the burden on the crew. ”

After saying so much in one breath, Xu Guanjie changed his tone, and then asked: "Shaoyi, do you know why everyone is filming like they are desperate now?" ”

Chen Shaoyi shook his head.

"This is because the director wants to save expenses, you said that the investment cost of a film is generally that little, if the time drags on for a long time, the funds are used up, and the top does not give additional investment, do you have to pay for it yourself? So the director didn't dare to shoot a film for too long, and didn't let the director squeeze the actors and crew, what could he do. Xu Guanjie sighed.

Chen Shaoyi nodded, "Brother Jie is right, and the director is also helpless, of course, the actors are even more helpless." ”

"Okay, let's talk about it again, the most important thing is that sometimes the crew obviously has no problems, the actors are in place, and the gods are beautiful, but they just can't shoot well, either something is wrong here, or it doesn't work there, it's obviously the same people, the state of yesterday and today is completely different, which is also a headache for the crew, the director has lost his temper for this, and the actors have been scolded, but if it doesn't go well, it's not good, and no one can do anything. Therefore, everyone doesn't want to encounter such a thing, and it is logical to ask God and Buddha to bless the crew when they start the film. ”

Chen Shaoyi suddenly realized: "Brother Jie said this, I understand, it turns out that praying to God and Buddha is not to see whether it is really useful, but just to ask for peace of mind." ”

Xu Guanjie saw that Chen Shaoyi understood, and said with a smile: "Shaoyi, it's good that you understand, in fact, there are several reasons for everyone to do this, one is to make the start-up ceremony a little louder and attract the attention of the audience and the media; The second is that the audience in Hong Kong is more superstitious, if you don't do this, others will think that you are not socially compatible with them, and maybe the audience will not enter the theater to watch your film at that time, so the opening ceremony must be done, do you understand? ”

Chen Shaoyi nodded yes thoughtfully.
