The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 7 The Opening Ceremony of Mantian Gods and Buddhas

Select all the actors, select the location, complete the sub-scene schedule, and compile the production schedule... With the full trust (pressure) and responsibility (press) of the director Wang Wei, the crew worked at full speed and completed it more than a month earlier than expected. Preparatory work.

On May 1990, 5, the crew of "Peking Holiday" officially started.

……

Although it is very unlucky, but at the opening ceremony, Wang Wei really wanted a dog leash, really.

Before, Wang Chuanqi told him that Dunhuang Films had not had a good fortune in recent years, and he wanted to make the opening ceremony more solemn, so as to dispel bad luck.

Wang Wei didn't believe this, but he agreed casually.Anyway, in the two planes, the Chinese film and television industry likes to hold a worship ceremony whenever a new movie starts shooting. Some are solemn, and some are just going through the motions.

Kneeling for three years in a row, the unlucky old Wang with PTSD is probably looking for some psychological comfort, and Wang Wei expressed his understanding.

However, if time could be turned back, he must absolutely swallow these words.

"What's the matter?" 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 know where the dialect came out.

I saw desks for offerings lined up, stretching for hundreds of meters, on which were enshrined statues of different gods, roasted suckling pigs, fruits and other offerings, and the incense burners on both sides were piled up like pagodas, nine-story incense towers one person high ; Standing in front of the pagoda are Taoist priests, monks, and... all kinds of unknown people in strange clothes.

Wang Wei was dumbfounded on the spot.

The rest of the crew were also on the spot.

Countless people have the same exclamation in their hearts: Fuck! ! !

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

Wang Wei couldn't speak, he was just stunned.jpg in capital letters and bold.

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

——The man next door, holding the dust whisk with his right hand and lightly pinching his long beard with his left hand, dressed as a Taoist priest, should be Huang Daxian;
——A man in golden armor with a golden crown on his head, feet on auspicious clouds, and a golden cudgel in his hand, needless to say, is Sun Dasheng;
——There is a western god with a beard and a scepter in his hand, blind guess, Zeus?

——The one sitting with the feather fan in the lun scarf looks like Zhuge Liang?

"..."

Wang Wei was deeply confused, which brain-dead crew started to worship Kong Ming?
Before he could react, Wang Chuanqi reminded again: "Hey, the auspicious time is coming, first wait for the masters who are familiar with Feng Shui to practice, and then everyone will burn incense according to the instructions, remember."

Wang Wei looked on dumbfoundedly, watching the "masters" begin their "practice" speechlessly.

The feng shui masters and Taoist priests in front were quite satisfactory, and they passed the prayers that no one could understand.

Wang Wei was completely dumbfounded by the sudden change in the painting style behind.

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

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

Then came the elongated cavity full of confidence:
"When the heart is born, all kinds of demons are born; when the heart is destroyed, all kinds of demons are destroyed..."

"...When you look back, it's Lingshan..."

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

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

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

Exorcism?Or bewitch?
It's my lack of knowledge!

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

——Suspected to be in front of the statue of Kong Ming, several "masters" in costumes lined up neatly and chanted together: "The first emperor died before he started his business, and the middle road collapsed. Today, three points are scored, and Yizhou is exhausted..."

This tm is actually reciting "Teacher List"?
And it's called a cadence, full of emotion...

Nima, did the director of our crew die or the producer collapsed?What about calling back souls?
Wang Wei's whole body is not well, as if struck by lightning, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, and it can be served on a pan.

The rest of the crew were not much better than him, so they just stared dumbfounded at the "Master" trying his best to perform, all sluggish and unresponsive.

During the whole process, there was only the devotion of an old Wang fan. He watched with enthusiasm, and kept nagging: "Here it is, it's time to offer incense. I want to offer a stick of incense. You follow me."

Later, I saw him taking the lead, receiving a lit stick of incense that was as thick as a thumb from the "Master", and then muttered a prayer: "Gods and Buddhas all over the sky, please bless our crew to come through all hardships, and everything goes smoothly, Amen."

Wang Wei: ...

He could clearly see that the mouth corners of the Taoist priests beside him were twitching.

Wang Wei guessed that his mental activity at the moment was: Are you worshiping a god or a mountain?

So, I was tired, numb, and I really didn't know what to say even when I complained.

When all the nine-storey incense towers were lit, the pillars of smoke rose up, which looked like alarming smoke.

I don't know if the "masters" have staged a performance. There is no wind today; so billowing green smoke is like a cloud, covering the scene for a long time, choking them who are closest to them and coughing.

Anyway, with a numb face and a numb mind, Wang Wei, who numbly lifted the red cloth of the camera and announced the start-up in the smoke and fire, has turned into a sculpture. He feels that if there is a gust of wind blowing over at this time, he can It was directly weathered.

Gangzhen, Wang Wei vowed, if there is another opening ceremony of Laoshizi 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 up.

"Xiaozhen, stop laughing, the director's face is too dark to watch." Wang Xiaojing bit her lip to hold back a smile.

Wang Xiaojing, with a round face and short hair, is Shen Zhenyi's new life assistant.

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

It was the first time for her to participate in the opening ceremony with her employer. Before she had time to stare at the director's face, she was shocked by the magical opening ceremony.

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

Shen Zhenyi almost burst out laughing: "No...it's okay, look at the crew, except him, who almost died laughing."

Indeed, there were more than one or two people in the crew laughing.

To be exact, after the opening ceremony, the crew, who felt like returning to the world, never stopped laughing happily.

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

For example, Shen Zhenyi.

Another example is the lead photographer Zhou Lin.

This guy leaned on the camera and laughed wildly: "It's so weird, this is definitely the most weird and legendary opening ceremony in the film and television industry, not one of them."

He sighed again: "If I knew it earlier, I should have filmed it from the beginning to the end and put it in the trailer. It might be even more exciting than the feature film."

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

Then he yelled at Xu Daoxing bitterly: "Get Lao Wang out immediately, I don't want to see this guy in the crew again these days."

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

It's impossible not to get kicked out, this guy is too affecting the running-in of the crew.

Who would have imagined that such a common opening ceremony could be performed by him in such a showy manner?
Ordinary people's mentality about burning incense when starting up is nothing more than: whether it is useful or not, burning incense will not lose anything anyway, and if it works, it will make money.

The problem is, Lao Wang burns too much incense and worships too strange gods.

I don't know whether it will work or not, but everyone is really shocked.

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

"Hey, director, I suggest delaying the official shooting for a while, otherwise I'm afraid many people will laugh." Xu Dao said with a smile.

"Push it, push it." Wang Wei put his hands on his hips, his face was speechless, "Also, immediately, prohibit Old Wang from approaching the crew. He is not only scaring people, but he is going to scare people to death."

"How long is the ban?"

"Forbidden until I feel better." Wang Wei said in a bad mood.
