Before I Got on Stage, the Brokerage Company Went Bankrupt

The crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" held a start-up ceremony very low-key, which is in the legend, choose a good day and auspicious day for a start-up ceremony.

At the opening ceremony, the tables used for worship are covered with red flannel. The tables are dedicated to the ancestor, and on both sides are censers and offerings and delicious fruits.

Usually the camera is covered with a red cloth, and then the main creator of the crew will put up incense and worship the gods in turn, and finally lift the red cloth of the machine to announce the start-up.

But you have to ask who are they worshipping? Liang Wen couldn't answer himself, anyway, everyone was worshipping.

According to Lin Fan’s own understanding, there is actually no unified requirement for everyone to come together to worship which great god, Buddha, Bodhisattva, various gods, or Lord Guan, Duke of the Land, God... Probably it means to worship whoever you have in your heart. .

The more important thing is to respect my profession, to have a sense of awe for what I shoot, and to pray that the shooting will go smoothly and that there will be no accidents.

Lin Fan just didn’t understand how Blue Star and the Earth formed such a highly unified “start-up ceremony” culture without any communication. It's that everyone's heart is healed.

But according to Liang Wen, this procedure first came from the fear of "slicing."

The so-called "scribing" means that in the early film era, the film in the camera was accidentally scratched by the parts inside during shooting. If “slicing” occurs, it will cause immeasurable losses to the crew, but machine scribing is unpredictable and difficult to prevent—the only thing that can be done is to cover the camera with a red cloth to “suppress evil”.

It’s just that the “mystery” of the current start-up ceremony is not so strong, and it is more like a crew mobilization meeting, which is intended to use this “sense of ritual” to tell everyone: start working seriously and cheer up. Come!

Of course, there are also some crews who are very particular about it, especially some supernatural genres. By coincidence, the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" can barely fall into the supernatural genre, so it is not only the opening ceremony, but also a lot of attention to the filming process. .

For example, send red envelopes.

Generally, in addition to preparing red envelopes for the actors who receive the box lunch in the play, some other special roles, such as the disabled, or the "photo" on the tombstone when they appear, will receive a red envelope according to the degree of popularity. "Different from the crew's funds, the amount of red envelopes varies, just for the sake of good luck.

The first and second red envelopes that Lin Fan sent were for Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang.

Yes, Lin Fan finally decided to use his two good brothers as cannon fodder, the kind of dragon role that Xiaoqian killed at the beginning.

At first, Lin Fan was afraid that they would be unwilling. After all, these two dragon characters did not have any sense of existence, and they were not even as good as the three-second shots of Lu Bingyang in the show that was drawn by Magic City.

Only when Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang knew that the heroine was Xia Yan and that their role was "dead" under the temptation of Xiao Qian, they all cried and cried, holding Lin Fan's thigh, begging Lin Fan Must give himself a chance, Lin Fan had to agree to them.

Never heard of such a request.JPG.

Of course, the two friendly guest roles of Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang also shoulder another very important task, which is to help Lin Fan polish the lens.

The first shot of the boot requires a "shun" character, usually the best actors in the crew are invited to boot, so that you can get a good start in one pass. This is also a good expectation. I hope the crew all the best.

Even many directors will deliberately take a blank shot to achieve the goal of "opening the door".

However, there is an old drama player Cheng Guohua on Lin Fan's side, so there is no need to waste the first shot of the boot. But when it comes to the second lens, someone needs to polish the lens.

After all, the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a new crew, a new team that has just been formed. When shooting, it will definitely need to run in. Not only is running in the actors, but also in the crew.

After the break-in is good, the entire crew can enter a real state of cooperation. Lin Fan can let the entire crew and everyone serve his project, establish the authority of his own director, and achieve the effect of being instructed by the arm.

It's just that people who are being rubbed can easily collapse.

In the cast of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the protagonist is relatively small. Lin Fan and Xia Yan are the male and female protagonists, so naturally they can't be used to polish the shots; Cheng Guohua, who plays Yan Chixia, has already contributed to the first shot; The other actor who plays the tree demon grandma is also an acting school, and also fails to achieve the goal of running-in.

Lin Fan can only choose candidates from other actors.

The only role left is an actress who plays another female ghost, and another actor who is killed by Xiaoqian who is going to compete with Yan Chixia. Both of these made it difficult for Lin Fan to choose. In the end, Lin Fan didn't choose anyone, but Li Xiaodong instead.

Of course, Lin Fanyou passed Li Xiaodonggou ahead of time, and Li Xiaodong agreed. At the same time, Lu Bingyang, who heard the wind, also actively asked to sharpen the lens, mainly to hone his acting skills.

So, the second shot started, and Li Xiaodong went first.

It's just that the scene in which Li Xiaodong imagined being able to have a little intimate contact with Xia Yan didn't exist at all. How could Lin Fan let Xia Yan accompany Li Xiaodong to grind the lens? Of course it was Li Xiaodong who acted in front of the props himself!

Although I can’t directly play with my goddess~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I’m a little bit disappointed, but Li Xiaodong, who acted for the first time, still contributed a lot of enthusiasm to Lin Fan. "Among them, I never get tired of it.

Cheng Guohua and other actors were watching. Some people couldn't help but whispered: "It's unheard of to use a dragon cover to polish the lens."

Cheng Guohua did not speak.

Yes, the actors who are used to polish the shots are pitiful, but this is another process that must be followed. A dead fellow is not dead and poor. Anyway, it's not just oneself, and the old drama bones can't withstand this kind of torture. If you've escaped, don't talk cold words here. If you have the ability, you can go up and replace others?

You can't let the director dispense with this process, and you don't want to do it yourself, and you still feel pitiful for other actors who are "dedicating their lives", so do you come up with a solution?

Nothing, still muttering, isn't this annoying.

Moreover, Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang were obviously very happy. These three had a great time, and the effect was achieved. What else should they care about?
