The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 7 The opening ceremony of the sky full of gods and Buddhas

All the actors were selected, the location was selected, the scene list was completed, and the production schedule was compiled... With the full trust (pressure) and responsibility (pressure) of director Wang Wei, the crew worked at full capacity and completed the project more than a month ahead of schedule.

Preparatory work.

On May 7, 1990, the crew of "Peking Holiday" officially started filming.

…

Although it was very unlucky, Wang Wei really wanted to take the dog with him during the power-on ceremony.

Wang Chuanqi had previously told him that Dunhuang Pictures had been having bad luck in recent years, and he wanted to make the opening ceremony more solemn to get rid of bad luck.

Wang Wei didn't believe this, but he agreed casually. Anyway, in the two dimensions, whenever a new film is shot in the Chinese film and television industry, they like to hold a worship ceremony. Some are solemn, and some are just formal. It's not surprising.

Already.

Lao Wang, who has been kneeling for three consecutive years and suffers from PTSD, is probably looking for some psychological comfort. Wang Wei expressed his understanding.

However, if he could turn back time, he would definitely swallow these words.

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

It's impossible not to kick him out, because this guy will affect the team's harmony too much.

…

Wang Wei watched with a dull expression on his face as the "masters" began to "practice" without saying anything.

Damn it, did the director of our crew die or the producer collapsed? What about this summoning of spirits?

Wang Wei's whole body felt bad, as if he had been struck by lightning. The outside was charred and the inside was tender, and it was ready to be taken out of the pot and plated.

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

Xu Daoxing suppressed his laughter until his face turned red: "I listened to you."

Eliminate demons? Or attract demons?

It’s just me who has little knowledge!

This was the first time she attended the opening ceremony with her employer. Before she could even take a look at the director's appearance, she was shocked by the magical opening ceremony.

For example, Shen Zhenyi.

I don’t know if the “masters” performed the performance, but there was no wind today; so the billowing green smoke enveloped the scene like clouds for a long time, choking those who were closest to them and causing them to cough.

"...The place where I look back is Lingshan..."

I saw tables used for worship lined up, stretching for hundreds of meters. There were statues of different gods on the tables, as well as roasted suckling pigs, fruits and other offerings. The incense burners on both sides were piled up like pagodas, forming a nine-story incense pagoda as high as a person.

; Standing in front of the pagoda were Taoist priests, monks, and... unknown people in various strange costumes.

Unexpectedly, the next scene directly plunged Wang Wei into an endless three-dimensional explosion.

——The person next door, holding a dust whisk in his right hand and stroking his long beard with his left hand, dressed as a Taoist priest, should be Wong Tai Sin;

——The one wearing golden armor, with a golden crown on his head, stepping on auspicious clouds at his feet, and holding a golden hoop in his hand, needless to say, is Sun Dasheng;

——There is a Western god with a big beard and a scepter in his hand. My blind guess is, Zeus?

What this person is reciting is actually "The Master's Guide"?

And it's called a cadence and full of emotion...

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

He sighed sadly again: "If I had known better, I should have filmed it from beginning to end and put it in the trailer. It might not be more exciting than the main film."

However, she still showed a strong sense of professionalism - barely holding back her laughter.

He clearly saw that the corners of the mouths of the Taoist priests beside him were twitching.

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

Just, I feel tired, numb, and I really don’t know what to say even if I complain.

Wang Wei:……

She chose to work as an assistant in the entertainment industry in order to see beauties nearby. She couldn't be more satisfied with her first employer - no matter what the employer's future was like, her face made her feel beautiful every day.

The direct consequence was that after the opening ceremony, everyone in the crew couldn't stop laughing.

Only Wang Chuanqi was very proud: "I can't believe that I have invited all the gods in the film and television industry to worship here. I don't believe that I will be so unlucky this time."

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

——The one sitting upright with the turban and feather fan, looks like Zhuge Liang?

Who would have thought that a common boot-up ceremony could be performed in such a cunning way?

Most people's mentality when it comes to burning incense is nothing more than: It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, you won't lose anything by burning incense. If it works, you'll make a profit.

When the nine-story incense pagoda is all lit up, pillars of smoke rise up, looking like warning smoke.

Another example is the chief photographer Zhou Lin.

"Hahahaha..." Shen Zhenyi supported the wall and laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight.

"Xiaozhen, stop laughing, the director's face is so dark that I can't even look at it." Wang Xiaojing bit her lip to hold back laughter.

Wang Wei was speechless, and now he was dumbfounded in capital letters.jpg.

I don’t know if it works or not, but everyone is really shocked.

The other members of the crew were not much better than him, so they stared dumbfoundedly at the "master" who was doing his best to perform, sluggish and unresponsive the whole time.

Anyway, with a numb face and a numb mind, Wang Wei, who numbly lifted the red cloth of the camera in the smoky fire and announced that it was starting, has transformed into a sculpture. It feels like if a gust of wind blows over at this time, he can It was directly weathered.

The problem is that Lao Wang burns too much incense and worships too many weird gods.

——Standing in front of the statue of Sun Dasheng was an old man with white beard and hair, wearing a cassock. The moment he opened his mouth, everyone in the crew was stunned.

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

To be precise, after the opening ceremony, the crew felt like they were back on earth, and their joyful laughter never stopped.

Then came the confident elongated tone:

"When the mind arises, all kinds of demons arise; when the mind dies, all kinds of demons die..."

"What will happen to me if I become a demon and a Buddha? If I become a Buddha, there will be no demons in the world!"

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

Later, I saw him leading the way, taking a lit stick of incense as thick as his thumb from the "master"'s hand, and then murmuring a prayer: "O Gods and Buddhas in the sky, please bless our crew to endure all the hardships and make everything go smoothly, Amen."

This guy held the camera and laughed wildly: "It's so weird. This is definitely the weirdest and most legendary opening ceremony in the film and television industry, bar none."

Wang Xiaojing, who has a round face and short hair, is Shen Zhenyi’s new life assistant.

Wang Wei guessed that his mental activity at the moment was: Do you worship gods or the mountains? The sky is full of gods and Buddhas, so kill this guy.

Only Lao Wang was immersed in the whole process. He watched with excitement and kept saying: "Come on, come on, it's time to burn incense. I want to burn a stick of incense. Follow me."

Of course, in order not to irritate the director who is always in black face, most people will not laugh too much - unless they really can't help it.

However, Shen Zhenyi almost burst out laughing: "No...it's okay. Look, except for him, who on the crew almost died laughing."

Wang Wei was stunned on the spot.

Wang Wei looked dumbly to the left, with a confused and shocked expression; when he looked to the right, he also had a confused and shocked expression.

"..."

The Feng Shui masters and Taoist priests in front of them were pretty good, and they got by after reciting prayers that no one could understand.

——Several "masters" in costumes lined up in front of the statue of Kong Ming, and chanted at the top of their lungs: "The late emperor died before he started his business. Today, Yizhou is suffering from fatigue..."

Countless people had the same exclamation in their hearts: Damn!!!

Then he called Xu Daoxing angrily: "Kick Lao Wang out immediately. I don't want to see this guy in the crew anymore these days."

Wang Wei was deeply confused. Which of the brainless crew members wanted to worship Kong Ming?

Before he could react, Wang Chuanqi reminded again: "Hey, the auspicious time has arrived. Let's wait for the masters who are familiar with Feng Shui to do it first, and then everyone can burn incense according to the instructions. Remember it."

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

Hong Kong Zhen, Wang Wei vowed that if there is another launch ceremony for Lao Shizi in the future, he will be left alone.

——The red-faced statue on the far left holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword and wearing a green robe and armor is Guan Gong;

"Push it, push it." Wang Wei put his hands on his hips and was speechless, "Also, immediately, prohibit Lao Wang from approaching the crew. He is not only scary, but will scare people to death without paying for their lives."

"How long will it be banned?"

"It's forbidden to wait until I feel better." Wang Wei said angrily.
