Chapter 7: The Opening Ceremony of the Mantian Gods and Buddhas

All the actors are selected, the location is selected, the scene list is completed, and the production schedule is compiled...... Under the full letter (pressure) of director Wang Wei, the crew was running at full capacity and completed the preliminary preparations more than a month earlier than expected.

On May 7, 1990, the crew of "Peking Holiday" was officially launched.

……

Although it is very unlucky, at the start-up ceremony, Wang Wei really wants to be a dog, really.

Wang Chuanqi told him that Dunhuang Pictures had bad luck in recent years, and he wanted to make the start-up ceremony solemn so as to get rid of bad luck.

Wang Wei didn't believe it, but he casually agreed. Anyway, in the two planes, whenever a new film starts filming in the Chinese film and television industry, they like to have a worship ceremony, some are solemn, and some are just going through the motions, which is not strange.

After kneeling for three years in a row, Wang, who was somewhat unlucky with PTSD, probably found some psychological comfort, and Wang Wei expressed his understanding.

It's just that if he could turn back the clock, he would definitely have to swallow it.

"What's the situation?" On the day of the start-up, even though Wang Wei claimed to be well-informed, he was still so shocked by the scene in front of him that he didn't even know where the dialect came out.

I saw that the desk table used for worship was lined up, stretching for hundreds of meters, the table was enshrined with different gods, roast suckling pig and fruit and other offerings, and the incense burners on both sides were piled up like a pile of pagodas to pile up a nine-story incense pagoda of one person high; There are Taoist priests, monks, and ...... standing in front of the tower Unknown people in various strange costumes.

Wang Wei was stunned on the spot.

The rest of the crew was also stunned on the spot.

The same exclamation floated in the hearts of countless people: !!

Only Wang Chuanqi was triumphant: "I can't imagine it, I invited all the gods that can be worshiped in the film and television industry, I don't believe that this time it will be so unlucky." ”

Wang Wei was speechless, and his whole person was now a stunned .jpg with capital letters and bold.

- The red-faced god on the far left, holding the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife, wearing a green robe and armor, is Guan Gong;

- Next door holding the dust whisk in his right hand, pinching his long beard lightly with his left hand, dressed as a Taoist priest, it should be Wong Tai Sin;

- Dressed in gold armor with a golden crown on his head, stepping on auspicious clouds, and holding a golden hoop stick in his hand, it is needless to say that he is Sun Dasheng;

- A bearded, scepter-wielding Western god, blindly guess what it is, Zeus?

- The scarf feather fan is sitting upright, looking like, Zhuge Liang?

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Wang Wei was deeply confused, which brain-dead crew started to worship Kong Ming?

Without waiting for him to react, Wang Chuanqi reminded again: "Hey, the auspicious time has arrived, wait for the masters who are familiar with feng shui to do it, and then everyone will follow the instructions to make incense, remember." ”

Wang Weimu had a blank face, speechless and watched as the "masters" began to "practice".

The feng shui master and Taoist priest in front of him were also in order, and after reciting the prayers that no one could understand, they passed.

The sudden change in the painting style in the back made Wang Wei completely dumbfounded.

β€”β€”Standing in front of the statue of Sun Dasheng was an old man with white hair and a robe, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he frightened the crew.

"If I become a demon, what will I do, if I become a Buddha, there will be no demons in the world!"

Then there is the elongated cavity full of confidence:

"The heart is born, all kinds of demons are born; The heart is destroyed, and all kinds of demons are destroyed......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The place where I look back is the Lingshan ......"

Wang Weimulan looked left, with a confused and shocked expression; Looking at it from the right, it was also a confused and shocked expression.

Who I am, where I am, what am I doing.

Who he is, where he is, what he is doing.

Exorcism? Or is it a conjuring?

It's because I'm shallow!

Unexpectedly, the next scene directly caused Wang Wei to fall into an endless explosion of three views.

β€”β€”In front of the statue of Kong Ming, several "masters" in costumes lined up neatly, tearing their throats and chanting together: "The first emperor did not start a business and the middle way collapsed, and today it is three points, and Yizhou is tired and ......"

This TM is actually reciting "The Teacher's Table"?

And it's called a subdued and frustrated voice, full of emotion......

Nima, did our crew die the director or collapse the producer? What about this conjugation?

Wang Wei's whole person is not good, as if he has been struck by lightning, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, and he can be put out of the pot and on the plate.

The rest of the crew was not much better than him, so he watched in amazement as the "master" tried his best to perform, but he was sluggish and unresponsive throughout the whole process.

The whole process was only the general input of Lao Wang's fan, he saw the blood boiling, and kept chattering: "Come on, it's time to put on incense, I want a stick of incense, you follow me." ”

Later, I saw him take the lead, took a pillar of incense with the thickness of his thumb from the "master", and then muttered a prayer: "O gods and Buddhas in the sky, please bless our crew with all the hardships and all the best, Amen."

Wang wei:......

He clearly saw that the corners of the Taoist priest's mouth on the side were twitching.

Wang Wei guessed that his mental activity at the moment was estimated: Are you worshipping God or worshipping the mountain, full of gods and Buddhas, split this goods.

It's just, tired, numb, and I really don't know what to say when I complain.

When the nine-story incense pagoda was all lit, the pillar of smoke rose up, looking like wolf smoke alarming.

I don't know if the "masters" have a performance, there is no wind today; So the billowing green smoke was like a cloud, enveloping the scene for a long time, choking them who were closest to them.

Anyway, Wang Wei, who was numb to his face and mentality, numbly lifted the red cloth of the camera in the smoke and fire to announce the start-up, has turned into a sculpture, and he feels that if there is a gust of wind blowing at this time, he can directly weather.

Hong Kong Zhen, Wang Wei swore that if he held the opening ceremony of Raushzi in the future, let him be weathered on the spot.

……

"Hahahaha......" Shen Zhenyi leaned against the wall and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.

"Xiaozhen, don't laugh, the director's face is so dark that you can't see it." Wang Xiaojing bit her lip and smiled.

Wang Xiaojing, who has a round face and short hair, is Shen Zhenyi's newly appointed life assistant.

She chose to enter the entertainment industry as an assistant in order to see the beauty nearby, and she couldn't be more satisfied with her first employer - no matter what the future of her employer is, she is in a beautiful mood every day in front of her face.

It was the first time she participated in the start-up ceremony with her employer, and before she had time to look at the director's face, she was shocked by the magical start-up ceremony.

Still, she showed great professionalism – barely holding back a smile.

Shen Zhenyi almost laughed: "No...... It's okay, you see who in the crew except him almost died of laughter. ”

Indeed, there are more than one or two people in the crew laughing at the moment.

To be precise, after the start-up ceremony, the crew had a feeling of returning to the world, and the joyful laughter did not stop.

Of course, in order not to irritate the blackface director all the time, most people don't laugh too out of place – unless they really can't help it.

For example, Shen Zhenyi.

Another example is the main photographer Zhou Lin.

The guy held the camera and laughed wildly: "It's so weird, this is definitely the most bizarre and legendary start-up ceremony in the film and television industry, there is no one." ”

sighed again: "If I knew earlier, I should have filmed it from beginning to end and put it in the film, I can't make it more exciting than the feature film." ”

Wang Wei couldn't bear it: "Shut up." ”

Then he called Xu Daoxing hatefully: "Kick Lao Wang out for me immediately, I don't want to see this in the crew anymore recently." ”

Xu Daoxing held back a smile and blushed: "I listen to you." ”

It's not okay if you don't get out, this guy affects the run-in of the crew too much.

Who would have thought that a commonplace boot ceremony could be played by him in such a sassy operation?

The mentality of ordinary people about turning on the machine and burning incense is nothing more than that: whether it is useful or not, burning incense will not lose anything anyway, and if it works, it will be earned.

The problem is that Lao Wang burns a lot of incense, and the gods he worships are also wonderful.

I don't know if it works for the time being, but in short, everyone is really thundered.

The direct consequence is that after the start-up ceremony, everyone in the crew couldn't stop laughing.

"Ahem, director, I suggest that the official filming be postponed for half a day, otherwise I'm afraid many people will laugh." Xu Dao said with a smile.

"Push, push." Wang Wei crossed his hands on his hips, his face speechless, "Also, immediately, immediately forbid Lao Wang to get close to the crew, he is not only scary, but directly wants to scare people to death." ”

"How long?"

"I'll wait until I'm in a better mood." Wang Wei didn't have a good airway.
