Chapter 31 Worshiping God (for further reading)

Youth is like playing mahjong, you either shoot or touch yourself.

Before six o'clock, Lu Yuan got up early and went to the bathroom in slippers.

After washing up, changed into clean clothes, stood in front of the window and read the tongue twister.

"Brother carrying a melon basket across the wide ditch, hurry across the ditch to see the strange dog, just look at the strange dog with the melon buckle, the melon roll basket is empty, brother the strange dog"

The tongue twisters were read quickly and urgently, but the words were pronounced clearly, with rhythmic rhythms.

And then another long line.

Lines are a tricky thing. It is said that Wang Zhiwen's lines are very good, and his voice is very loose. He is an actor who can act with voice.

But that is also obtained by practicing the basic skills day after day.

Ever since he discovered that his lines skills were a little weak, Lu Yuan strengthened his practice of basic skills.

After the morning practice, he knocked on the door of Song Yang next door, and the two made an appointment to rush to Qin Palace together.

Today is the official opening day of the production team.

Because of Lu Yuan and Chen Long, the originally planned two-week training only took one week, and the production crew took advantage of the trend to advance the start-up time.

He didn't notify the media of the launch, Cai Yinong meant to arrange a media meeting after the official conclusion, and it should be a big one.

According to the information obtained by Hu Kan privately, it was said that the leading actors were going to walk the runway in costumes.

Lu Yuan originally thought that he would finally become the leading actor, so he should be interviewed seriously.

Unexpectedly, the cooked duck flew away again.

The Qin Palace was built in 97 for the famous director Chen Kaige to shoot the historical blockbuster "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin".

The crew of Young Yang Jiajiang held the opening ceremony here.

On the altar table, there is a statue of Guan Gong, with fruit plates piled high on both sides, and a video camera covered with a red cloth is on the right side of the table.

Behind the altar is a two-meter-high red curtain, on which is written a line of huge characters, which is particularly eye-catching.

"Young General Yang" has a good start.

In front of the altar, Cai Yinong stood in the first place, behind him stood a row of main creators including director Wei Hantao, all of them held three sticks of incense and looked serious.

Lu Yuan mixed in in costumes.

Looking at the portrait of Guan Gong on the altar, he always thought in his heart that it would be better to replace it with a certain bureau.

After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.

The opening ceremony was passed down from Hong Kong and Taiwan in the early years. The film and television professionals there are full of charisma and community spirit, so the main obeisance is Guan Gong.

When it spread to the mainland, it changed again. There are people who worship everything, some worship the God of Wealth, some worship the Tathagata, and some worship Lumiere.

Lumiere invented the world's first relatively complete portable "movie camera".

Lu Yuan also heard from the seniors of the directing department that some crews are short of money, and the start-up method will be simpler.

Find a place to plug in a cigarette, face east and pray three times, and you're done.

I don't know if it's good or not, but I'll just have fun anyway.

In fact, these so-called worships are just for peace of mind.

But the actors on Hong Kong Island value these the most.

When filming "Hero" in the early years, Liang Chaowei and Zhang Manyu refused to start work because the crew did not have a start-up ceremony.

There is also a type of film and television drama that will never hold a worship ceremony when it is turned on, and that is the main theme.

The director and the producer stepped forward to give speeches one after another. Lu Yuan and other actors stood on one side in costumes, like a row of tool people.

After tossing for half an hour, the director finally spoke.

"I announce that the young Yang family will officially start up!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Lu Yuan imitated Liu Shishi next to him and clapped dumbfoundedly.

It's over!
Not long after, Cai Yinong and director Wei Hantao took a stack of thick red envelopes and began to distribute them one by one.

This is the routine of the crew starting up.

First is the starring role, then behind the scenes, and the group performers also have their share.

There are four words of good luck and good fortune written on the red envelope, which is very light, and there are not many of them.

Most of these red envelopes are auspicious, symbolizing a good start, and the amount is not too large, usually only a few tens of dollars.

After Lu Yuan took it, he opened it curiously, and inside was a hundred-yuan bill.

It can be regarded as rich and powerful.

"Why do you have so much?" Liu Shishi took a closer look, she only had 50 yuan.

"Sister-in-law, I'm the starring role!" Lu Yuan shook the money in his hand.

This circle is like this, Liu Shishi still has 50 yuan anyway, and the probability of those group performances is only about 10 yuan.

In fact, in addition to cash, some directors will also put lottery tickets in the red envelopes, because lottery tickets are not only cheap, but also can avoid some embarrassing scenes.

The person who can think of this method is really a fucking talent!
Hearing Lu Yuan's address, Liu Shishi didn't care about the red envelope or not, she was a little out of breath.

"Don't call me sister-in-law again!!"

Lu Yuan looked disapproving.

"Okay, I will definitely pay attention next time, sister-in-law."

After the embarrassing scene last time, the girl ignored him for several days.

The opening ceremony is over, and the next step is the official shooting.

Lu Yuan was about to touch up his makeup. At the corner of the dressing room, he heard director Wei Hantao yelling at Wang Shaojie.

Wang Shaojie is the casting director of the film crew. He is in his forties and has a kind face.

"Substitute, change immediately, there is still no group leader in such a huge Hengdian, and we play this game, what kind of onion is he?"

Wei Hantao threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, furious.

It's no wonder he was annoyed, the Yang family will have a lot of action scenes in this drama, and they need some ensemble performers with martial arts skills.

The group leader I was looking for had just come from another place, and many of the group performers under him had martial arts skills.

The discussion was good at first, but they suddenly changed their minds when it was time to start the machine.

Nor did they inquire about the names of Tang people in this area.

"How much will he add?" Wei Hantao asked.

Wang Shaojie was also furious in his heart.

"It is said that ordinary group performers add 20, and Wu Ti adds 100."

现如今横店一名普通群演一天的价格是20-40，前景群演80-100，小特200-300，大特好一些400-600。

Most of the group performers under the group leader were calculated on the basis of 40 per day, and 400 by special arrangement.

It's not impossible to join, but why, it's not the first time that Tang Ren has filmed in Hengdian, and he can be bullied by a small group leader?
With the first time, there will be a second time, which must not be tolerated.

In fact, this kind of thing happens from time to time in Hengdian, which is a gray industrial chain unique to Hengdian.

Lu Yuan also saw a lot when he was a group performer, and small crews were often blackmailed by local group leaders.

The group leader proposed to provide paid extras and working meals for the crew.

If the crew does not buy it, they will use methods such as blocking the camera, making noise, cursing with knives, and beating the crew to create troubles and interfere with the crew's shooting.

Hengdian officials also deal with it, but this kind of thing is a collusion of interests after all, and there are too many twists and turns in it, and it is difficult to get rid of it.

It's just that the group leader who came from other places didn't seem to understand the situation this time. Tang Ren is not a small crew.

Wei Hantao frowned and shouted: "Change, change immediately, contact the group leader we have worked with before."

Wang Shaojie sighed, "I've contacted, but the previous group leaders couldn't get any manpower."

Lu Yuan silently took out the phone.

"Hey, brother Peng, the crew is going to be replaced. It's a good opportunity to pick some brothers with martial arts skills, come quickly!"

Speaking of the young Yang Jiajiang, it was Sun Peng who first suggested him to come for an interview.

Lu Yuan never thought he was such a noble person.

But he still understands the principle of throwing me a peach and repaying me with a plum.

　Thanks to the book friends for the two monthly tickets for life.
