Chapter 197: Boot Ceremony
Wen Xi received a reply that Liu Xin wanted to go, and hammered the saddle excitedly, scaring Yanque: "What happened?" ”
Wen Xi rubbed his hands excitedly: "It's okay, when I wait for the Qixi Festival, I'm going to start messing around with the mandarin duck score." ”
Yan Que looked at his boss like this and understood that Wen Xi was going to do something.
At 2:50 p.m. the next day, the sun was warm, and Wen Xi arrived at the opening ceremony of "The Temptation to Go Home", and she picked out a red fishtail skirt to make her complexion more and more white.
It's booming, and it's auspicious.
The opening ceremony was chosen near the filming venue of the first act of the script, a treasure of feng shui, which is very open.
When Wen Xi arrived at the scene, the scene was very lively, she looked into the distance and looked around the venue and squatted around the paparazzi and station sisters who were still filming Reuters.
The leading actors of the crew have all met Wen Xi, and they all greeted Wen Xi at this time.
And the producers and scene reporters of the crew were not so enthusiastic about Wen Xi's arrival, so they said hello shallowly.
Wen Xi responded, and asked the assistant Yanque: "Are the red envelopes that you want me to send ready later?" ”
Yan Que patted the tote bag on his back: "Ready, don't worry!" ”
Wen Xi asked curiously, "Are you preparing a cash red envelope or a lottery red envelope?" ”
Generally, at the start-up ceremony, the director will distribute red envelopes to the staff present to ask for a good fortune, usually 66 or 88 amounts of cash, and the wealthy crew will put a face value of 100.
In addition to cash, some directors will also choose to put lottery tickets in red envelopes.
Yan Que whispered back: "Lottery tickets and 88 cash." ”
After all, dozens or a hundred in cash is a relatively small amount for the actors, and the price of the lottery ticket is not expensive, but the implication is very good, and there is a rush.
Wen Xi nodded, didn't ask any more, and looked at the furnishings at the opening ceremony.
The opening ceremony of this world is similar to what Wen Xi experienced in his previous life, all of which are to choose a good day and auspicious day, prepare the table for worshipping Emperor Guan, and cover it with a red velvet cloth.
In addition to the table, there is also an incense burner, roast suckling pig and fruits.
The camera used in the filming of film and television dramas will also be covered with a red cloth, and after the main creator of the crew worships God in turn, he can lift the red cloth on the camera and announce the start-up.
This ritual was first performed in the film era when the crew prayed that the film would not be scratched by the parts of the camera, and the "evil spirit" ceremony was carried out, but it has evolved to the present day, which is more like a mobilization meeting.
The success of the filming of a drama depends on the right time, place and people, there are too many variables, and the start-up ceremony is also a psychological comfort for everyone.
"Come on, come on, it's almost time!"
Ling Tian, the chief director of "The Temptation of Going Home", beckoned everyone to prepare incense.
Wen Xi as a screenwriter and producer, coupled with her status as an airborne executive of Garda Pictures, Ling Tian is ready to give the first incense stick to Wen Xi.
However, just as Ling Tian was handing incense to Wen Xi, a voice suddenly said below: "Leader, you are the chief director, give her a stick of incense to a newcomer in the industry, is this like words?" ”
Ling Tian immediately sweated profusely when he heard this sudden voice, saying this at this juncture, wasn't this messing with him?
He hurriedly searched for the sound to see which little rabbit was doing something, but he couldn't find anyone.
Some people in the crew are old partners with Ling Tian, and they are actually very dissatisfied with Wen Xi's airborne, the status of Huaxia screenwriters is already weak, and Wen Xi is still a newcomer to the industry, so these senior crew members actually have to listen to Wen Xi's command of the girl's film.
Xue Yujin had ordered in advance that "everyone obeys Wen Xi's arrangement", so at this time, some people were prejudiced and complained about Wen Xi, but they didn't dare to say it directly.
Dozens of pairs of eyes on the scene were now staring at Ling Tian to see if Ling Tian would let this first stick of incense, if he let it, it would still have an impact on Ling Tian's authoritative leadership in the crew.
Just when Ling Tian was sweating, Wen Xi took the initiative to speak.
"Isn't it just a sequence of incense? It's better to do this, Director Ling, as a senior director, get off to a good start with the first incense. ”
"And I, as a newcomer who bravely entered the background, was the last to incense, inherit the past and the future, and draw a bright future."
After reading the script, Ling Tian originally admired Wen Xi, a monster newcomer, and after hearing these words, he was immediately in awe, is this the pattern of airborne executives?
With Wen Xi's solution, the conflict that many people originally wanted to see did not happen, and after Ling Tian solemnly finished the first incense, the main creators took turns to put on the incense.
The last stick of incense was given to Wen Xi.
Wen Xi took the lit incense and finally planted the incense to worship according to the process.
Just as Wen Xi inserted the last incense into the incense burner, Wen Xi felt a chill coming from the back of her hand, she looked up, and a fine rain suddenly fell in the sky.
"It's raining lightly!"
"Wow, the sun was shining just now, why did it suddenly start to drizzle!"
"When it comes to water, it's a good sign!"
There is a saying in the industry that the opening ceremony coincides with the rain, which is a good omen for the occurrence of water.
In addition, today's heavy rain is a gentle drizzle that does not have much impact on the progress of the shooting, so this good omen makes everyone's mood happy.
Many people all looked at Wen Xi, who had just put on the incense.
"No, it's Wen Xi's turn to make incense, it's raining, is Wen Xi really the god of rain?"
"I used to think that my son was a short video swipe, and he regarded Wen Xi as an Ultraman-like character, but now I understand."
"Coincidence, absolutely coincidence."
"Actually, I think that when there is water, this statement is just to beautify the bad weather, and it rains as soon as Wen Xi is incense, which is unlucky."
Wen Xi looked at the light rain in the sky, and didn't pay much attention, she looked at her watch and said to Ling Tian: "Leader, let's uncover the red cloth on the camera and announce the start."
Ling Tian nodded, Wen Xi's calm and calm aura made him feel convinced.
At 3:12 p.m., the main creative team unveiled the red cloth on the camera and announced the official launch of "The Temptation to Go Home"!
Yan Que took out the prepared red envelopes, and Wen Xi and Ling Tian distributed the red envelopes together while talking words to motivate the actors.
Among them, an actor who played the best man playing soy sauce got the red envelope and quickly opened it with great interest, and after seeing the contents of the red envelope, his face immediately collapsed.
He whispered to an assistant assistant director who was closest to him, "Why is it only 88 yuan and a broken lottery ticket?" ”
The director's assistant carefully put away the red envelope sent by Wen Xi: "Isn't 88 yuan a big denomination in the current crew's start-up red envelope?" ”
"Now that the crews have reduced their budgets, it's good to have 88, what about the day's food money."
The actor looked at the staff member's clothes and said, "Hey, I can't tell you." ”
"I thought Wen Xi would stuff a check into it, didn't she be generous in sending those fan scholarships?"
The actor stuffed the red envelope into the director's assistant's arms like garbage: "Yes, for people like you, 88 yuan is very satisfying." ”
The assistant director is a young man who has just graduated from the choreographing and directing major, and he is not angry with the actor's behavior, but happily puts the two red envelopes in his pocket.
Looking up at the sky, I found that there was no rain, and the bright sun appeared again, and the outline of the rainbow could be faintly seen on the horizon, faintly like a veil.
