There are a lot of people who come to dinner today, in addition to Ni Zhen and Su Tong, there are many more people in the crew, all for tomorrow's start-up ceremony.

Among the newcomers, many of them have Taiwanese accents, and Zhou Yan also saw Qiu Fusheng, the investor of the movie, but he just glanced at it from a distance and didn't say hello.

That night, Ni Zhen stayed in the dormitory to sleep, and Su Tong and Qiu Fusheng went to live in a hostel in the county.

Ni Zhen is a very talkative person, and at night he leans on the bed, smoking a cigarette while talking to Zhou Yanshan.

He Wuming had been sitting on the edge of his bed...... He never sits on the bed except for sleeping, and when Zhou Yan and them chat, he reads quietly.

In the middle of the chat, Ni Zhen took the initiative to talk to He Wuming, "Xiao He, you Peking Opera actors are still bitter, you have to practice basic skills since you were a child, and after you have learned, you have to practice every day to maintain it, and you can't slack off at all." ”

He Wuming just nodded, "Well, it's okay." ”

Seeing that He Wuming was so cold, Ni Zhen also felt bored, so he didn't take the initiative to talk to He Wuming again. Ni Zhen has a good temper, but when he meets some old-timers, he feels that he can't hold his face, and he can get angry.

Zhou Yan watched from the side, and said in his heart that He Wuming really treats everyone equally, people who are not familiar with him, he is so cold and indifferent, even if the other party is Ni Zhen.

However, if you have more contact, you can find that He Wuming is not so cold. Of course, as far as He Wuming is concerned, if it weren't for a specific environment, it would be difficult for ordinary people to have much contact with him.

If Zhou Yan didn't live in a room with him, it would be impossible for him to take the initiative to talk to him, even if he lived in a room, the two rarely talked at the beginning.

Although Ni Zhen is talkative, the road here today is very hard after all, and he can't stay up and fall asleep until eight or nine o'clock.

He fell asleep, but he bitterly suffered Zhou Yan and He Wuming, because he was sleeping and snoring, and his voice was quite special.

Ordinary people snore, even if the decibel of the sound is a little higher, most of them are still relatively stable, the sound wave belongs to the periodic wave type, but Ni Zhen's voice is up and down, irregular, it is non-periodic, or the cycle is too long, Zhou Yan They haven't finished listening to a round.

If Ni Zhen's voice is compared to a symphony, then it is in a major key for a while, and a minor key for a while, and the melody is very weird. In the middle of the night, Zhou Yan was repeatedly tortured in switching back and forth between major and minor keys, this was the first time Zhou Yan felt the pain of inheriting the original musical memory, he heard Ni Zhen's voice, and was looking for pitch.

……

The next morning, Ni Zhen got up from a full sleep, and stretched comfortably, "I didn't expect to sleep well last night, and sure enough, the weather is cool, and I can sleep well." ”

Zhou Yan rubbed his eyes, because he didn't sleep well, so his eyelids were a little heavy, Ni Zhen, who played the symphony all night last night, was not tired, but he, an unlucky listener, was tired like a dog.

However, when he saw He Wuming, who was glazed-eyed, Zhou Yan had a smile on his face, okay, this guy can also be cured, the only disadvantage is that people even took him with him to cure.

The opening ceremony started at 10 o'clock in the morning, and this time is said to have been chosen by the investor Qiu Fusheng, which means perfect.

The venue of the ceremony was at the gate of Qiao's compound, and early in the morning, Liu Qing and they hung a banner on the door, which read: "The Red Lantern Hangs High" is on good luck.

Underneath the banner, an incense stand was placed.

The incense table is quite simple, two ordinary folding tables one meter long are put together, covered with a large red cloth, on which are placed several plates of seasonal fruits, and a small incense burner is placed in the middle.

There are two cameras on both sides of the incense platform, both covered with red cloths, and when the ceremony begins, the director will uncover the red cloths.

When Zhou Yan and Ni Zhen walked out of the compound, they saw several reporters holding cameras to shoot.

"The Red Lantern Hangs High" is a cross-strait co-production, and in the name of "the first cooperation between international famous directors on both sides of the strait", it is full of topicality, and the film naturally has a lot of media attention when it starts.

Today, it is not only some local media who come to Qiaojiabao, but also reporters from CCTV and some major newspapers.

Zhou Yan roughly counted it, there were fourteen or five people with cameras alone, and some of them didn't have equipment, but they had work permits around their necks, and all of them added up to twenty or thirty.

At ten o'clock, the boot-up ceremony officially began, Zhang Yimou walked to the incense platform to speak, roughly talked about the process of the ceremony, and also introduced the important guests who participated in the ceremony today, and finally talked about why there was this movie and his thoughts on this story.

After Zhang Yimou finished speaking, he invited Qiu Fusheng and Hou Xiaoxian over, and the three of them lifted the red cloth cover of the camera together.

After that, Qiu Fusheng, Hou Xiaoxian, Su Tong and Ni Zhen all spoke, and originally Zhang Yimou and they also arranged for Zhao Jiping to speak, after all, Zhao Jiping's coffee seat is relatively large.

However, Zhao Jiping was too busy during this time to get out at all.

Except for a few of them, none of the other crew members nor actors spoke.

When some movies start, some big names in the industry will be invited to help, but today there are only the cast and crew of "The Red Lantern Hangs High".

When the speech session ended, starting with Zhang Yimou, the main creative staff of the crew walked to the incense table to pay tribute.

Although Chen Feipu played by Zhou Yan does not have many scenes, he is also an important role, so he was also arranged to come forward to pay homage.

It was the first time he participated in the boot ceremony, he didn't understand anything, and he was afraid of making jokes, so he asked Liu Qing in advance what he should do when he was Jingxiang, whether he still had to talk about it.

Liu Qing told Zhou Yan that there is nothing special about worshipping incense, just go up and light three incense sticks and insert them into the incense burner.

To put it bluntly, turning on is just going through the motions, and not many people really expect to rely on this thing to make the shooting smooth.

Moreover, mainland directors are different from Xiangjiang and Taiwan Island in this regard, and most mainland directors still do not deliberately hold a start-up ceremony when filming.

This is not possible in Xiangjiang, they attach great importance to this kind of ritual, and the links are more complicated, for example, the Xiangjiang side will cut the pig's head, but the mainland side will not have it.

Different people have different attitudes towards rituals, like Liu Qing, they think that this thing is to create a sense of ritual for themselves, telling themselves to do things seriously, and they just finish this transition.

There are also some people who are really superstitious, these people are very pious when they worship incense and worship God, for fear that they will encounter problems during filming because of their insincerity.

Of course, most people are like Zhou Yan, just following the crowd.
