Chapter 143: The crew enters the town
With Director Zhang's reputation in the industry, he can get his favor and is willing to choose this place as the filming venue, and the local government's beautiful snot bubbles are about to squirt out.
Village cadres were even sent to receive them.
The village cadres pointed to the building and skillfully introduced to everyone: "There are two lions carved here, one big and one small, that is, the lion and the young lion, the homonym Taishi and the young master, which means that we have been officials here." ”
LaCrosse looked along and secretly thought: No wonder they chose to shoot here, the ancient buildings are so well preserved! It's like traveling back in time.
Although it has also been repaired, it has been repaired by old craftsmen in traditional ways, retaining the original flavor and antique flavor of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Cha Cha also feels very close to these buildings.
Because in the underworld, she lives in this kind of house.
Compared with the modern buildings made of reinforced concrete, the aura of the town of Zetang is more abundant, and the air is much better, so it is naturally more attractive.
At this moment, Yin Fu Jing suddenly spoke: "Little master, this town is more special than other towns, I mean feng shui, if you guess correctly, this is the 'six stove gate' feng shui pattern designed by the sage Guiguzi." ”
The "Six Stove Gate" is one of the 36 secret techniques passed down from generation to generation in the Guigu School, which is as complex as the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces, and is said to have the effect of locking the spirit.
Yin Fu Jing continued: "Most of the Xuanmen spells recorded on my old yin body are mainly based on the seven techniques of the Guiguzi Sutra, so I know that this is a Feng Shui array. ”
Cha Cha asked the cadre: "The feng shui of the houses here is very curious, is it the direction set by Guiguzi?" ”
The cadre smiled and said, "Children, you still know a lot!" Yes, our town is designed by the ancestor of the official who invited the descendants of Guiguzi to see the feng shui and design these ancestral houses. Of course, these are legends and cannot be examined. ”
He said, smiling.
Director Zhang's crew is much larger than the average crew, and as they walked, they suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers and shouts in front of them, and the walking team slowed down.
"What's going on up ahead?"
Director Zhang asked.
The cadre said, "Oh, someone in the village has passed away and is holding a funeral......
Out of respect for the deceased, everyone bowed their heads as they passed, and some even bowed, and the speed of the march naturally slowed down.
The sight was blocked by the crowd, and when Junyue walked to the front, he saw that there was an open space, a mourning hall was set up, there was a coffin inside, and a table of eight immortals was placed.
On the table were photographs of the deceased, and there were electric lanterns, and on both sides stood boys and girls with paper.
In front of the table is an iron basin, and someone is burning paper incessantly, and smoke and fire are around.
At the intersection of the main road on the other side, several young men were trying to erect tall banners.
Although this banner is made of paper, it is only the outer skin, and the inner structure is supported by bamboo, which weighs dozens of catties, to say the least.
There was nothing to cling to, so a few young men tried to support it with wooden sticks, and the banner had four sections, and the banner had to be assembled and erected.
However, for some reason, I couldn't stand up after tinkering for a long time.
This does not bode well.
The most taboo at the funeral is that the flag cannot be erected, which means that the soul of the deceased cannot get out of the homeland, after all, the flag is used to guide the soul.
Seeing such a strange thing, the villagers all talked about it unscrupulously.
"Hey, have you seen that the banner can't stand? How can this be a funeral? ”
"Why can't you stand up......?"
"Maybe it's because the old man of the Wu family feels that he is wronged by death and doesn't want to leave!"
Hearing such a discussion, the face of the filial son of the family became more and more difficult to see.
Xiao Xi asked strangely in a low voice: "What is that, why can't you stand up after tossing for a long time?" ”
People of her age had never experienced a traditional funeral, and it was strange that Zetang Village still retained very old funeral etiquette customs.
Cha Cha said: "This is a gold and silver flag, a rare large piece of funeral paper, which usually has to be erected at a conspicuous intersection to facilitate the ghost to go on the road." ”
"Then why can't it stand up now?"
"It means that the ghost has a grudge in his heart."
Cha Cha's chubby little face showed a serious expression, which startled Xiao Xi.
The cadre smiled, but said in a disdainful tone: "How can there be any ghosts and gods, well, this is the custom of the elders, this banner is to accumulate virtue and fortune for the dead, and if you can't stand up, you will cause gossip...... Hey, none of this has anything to do with us, who knows what's going on, let's go, let's go. ”
The filming time was set two days later, because everyone had to use the first two days of the assembly to sort out the affairs of the crew and then prepare the preliminary work.
The actors were also happy to relax, and went to their accommodations to rest first, and some of the male staff members also got together to drink a little wine and relax.
Moisten.
Although the residence is an ancient house, there are people living all the year round, except for the poor lighting and a little damp, the conditions are also passable.
Photographer Lao Cheng lives next door to Chacha, in addition to Xiaoxi, he also participates in taking care of LaCrosse's mother and daughter, and the screenwriter Sun Xin who lives in the same room with him.
He is already familiar with Cha Cha.
In the evening, Lao Cheng went to the drinking house to have a few drinks with everyone, and when he came back, he took two braised chicken feet, he handed one to Sun Xin, and then asked while gnawing: "Where are we filming the first scene?" ”
"It's not decided yet!"
Sun Xin said: "It seems to be a night play, and the location should be on the other side of the intersection of the mourning hall, I just heard that the director is discussing this matter......
"Will it be adjusted?"
"I don't know, maybe!"
After the meal, Sun Xin was notified that Director Zhang asked him to go to the director's house.
Also going with him were LaCrosse and Xiaoxi.
Cha Cha was left alone in the room.
Because before leaving, Jun Yue specially instructed her not to run around no matter what, and to stay in the house as much as possible.
Cha Cha took out the "Merit Book" when he had nothing to do, and when he saw it, he found that his merit had risen to 7,000 points, and he was about to break the 10,000-point mark.
In addition, you can unlock a new reward, the "Mourning Hat".
"Hey, isn't this a black and white cap?"
She pouted strangely, stared at the "mourning hat", and muttered, "What's the use of this thing?" Who of you, book spirits, knows? ”
The Sophist Sutra said: "I heard that there is a rule in the underworld, but anyone who has a mourning hat can be an impermanent ghost. ”
"Impermanence! Is it the Soul Messenger? ”
Cha Cha understood, put on her hat, she was black and white, and she could lock her soul.
Well, that's fine, you don't have to bother the two slackers of black and white impermanence anymore.
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard someone outside shouting to him.
She walked to the door with her little short legs and took a look, and found that it was actually Xiaoqi who called herself.
"Brother Xiaoqi. How did you get here? ”
Xiaoqi said: "I'm coming to visit the class!" My dad and Aunt LaCrosse are both eating at the restaurant, let me call you over. ”
"Okay."
Cha Cha took the merit book and walked out with him.
There is a commissary in the village, at the intersection of the main road.
Xiaoqi pointed to the commissary and said, "I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes for my father." ”
The commissary was near the mourning hall, and night had just fallen, and according to custom, the lord's house had to keep vigil, and this was just the beginning.
At the intersection, several descendants of Dai Xiao's family tried to erect the banner again, but unfortunately they still failed to do so.
He muttered to himself, "Why haven't you stood up yet?" ”
Cha Cha walked over and said, "I'll help you!" ”
As he spoke, the little fat hand pressed the pole of the flag, and at once the flag was erected.
But the filial son of the Wu family was stunned, he stared at a pillar of optimus spirit flags, and said incredulously: "Little friend, your strength is too great, right?" ”
Cha Cha smiled lightly: "It's not a matter of strength, it's ......"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qi walked over from the other end: "Let's go, Chacha, I've bought all the cigarettes." ”
He didn't know what had just happened, so he seriously grabbed Cha Cha's little hand and pulled her away.
Because Director Zhang and Jun Yue both gave him a death order, Chacha must not be lost again.
This time, he fulfilled his mission and successfully brought Cha Cha to the restaurant.
The restaurant is not big, but the pot stove is very strong, and it belongs to a very down-to-earth fly restaurant.
It turned out that the mourning hall was located near one of the filming locations, and the crew did not expect the Wu family to hold a funeral in advance.
In the film and television industry, there are not a few people who have taboos, although Director Zhang is not, but he doesn't want to go against other people's views, he would rather delay the start of work for this reason, and wait for the funeral over there to start work.
