Chapter 231 Movie Start

On December 12, the opening ceremony of the movie "Transaction Record".

Liu Xing, who arrived at the venue 2 hours early to get ready, was brought into the dressing room to try on makeup. The person who did his makeup was a woman in her 30s. The staff who brought him in called her Sister Yao.

Looking at the long row of brushes on the dressing table that he couldn't name, big and small, Liu Xing gave Sister Yao a gentle smile, and then sat down in a position that was most conducive to her makeup.

Sister Yao glanced at the public cosmetics on the table, then turned to her little assistant and said, "Bring me my cosmetic bag."

After hearing the words, the little assistant gave Liu Xing a sneaky look, then turned around and quickly fetched the cosmetic bag.

Sister Yao is not very talkative. After carefully looking at Liu Xing's face for a while, she discussed with the stylist, and asked someone to fetch a white suit for him to change into. She fixed his hair before starting Put on face makeup.

"Although your facial features are ordinary, they are also very malleable, especially your eyes are very sharp, which is very suitable for this role." After putting on makeup, Sister Yao glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and it was already past 9 o'clock. We are ready to start the press conference, you and the outside staff will meet with Director Zhang to see if there is anything that needs to be revised."

"Thank you, Sister Yao." Liu Xing smiled and nodded at her, got up and pushed the chair back.

"Wait a minute," Sister Yao took out a V"'heronConst"ntin watch from the drawer, took off his original one, and stepped back, "Go out now, if this image is suitable now, maybe later There will be reporters coming to interview in advance.”

Liu Xing smiled gratefully at Sister Yao, turned around and walked out.

After he went out, the little assistant who had been by the side and didn't say much asked curiously: "Sister Yao, is there anything special about this newcomer?"

Sister Yao packed up her makeup bag without looking up, "I've been in the industry for nearly ten years, so you can tell whether a person is popular or not."

The little assistant blushed a little, thinking that although the young man just now looked ordinary, he was very attractive when he smiled, especially after putting on makeup, he was a different person.

Sister Yao turned her head to look at the little assistant, and smiled slightly. The most important thing in this circle is good-looking men and women, but there are very few people who can have a unique charm like this newcomer. They are average-looking but attractive.

Suits and leather shoes, elegant demeanor, a smile on the corner of the mouth, but a trace of unruly eyes, this is simply the unique temperament of a genius.He stretched out his hand to catch the hot water handed over by Yu Le, and a piece leaked from his wrist. A good watch is also a must-have equipment for a successful person. Director Zhang chose it. After the makeup photo was released, it attracted a lot of viewers who looked at their faces.

The staff of the crew originally thought that Liang Dong was very suitable for this role, but when they saw Liu Xing come out, they realized that to be a genius-like successful person does not need a special Jinjunxiu appearance, the appearance and temperament are very Big difference.

When they saw Liu Xing for the first time, they almost thought it was Fang Lingyun from the parallel world, that excellent, proud but self-disciplined Fang Lingyun, not an actor.

They can't describe what kind of feeling this is, but anyone who sees Liu Xing now will sigh in his heart, this is the temperament that a successful person should have!
Not to mention ordinary staff, even Bai Xingyan, who was talking with Fanyi and the female first, was stunned for a moment. The unhappiness in his heart had already disappeared without a trace, if he hadn't taken into account that the press conference that was about to start would attract A large number of reporters, maybe someone will come to secretly shoot, and there are too many crew members, he can't wait to pat his thigh and exclaim, he has found a treasure, Liu Xing is more suitable now than when he was taking stills. Fang Lingyun's character is set!He seemed to see Fang Lingyun under his pen crossing from the book to reality. Nothing excites a creator more than this.

As soon as he was happy, he didn't care about anything else, and he didn't care about the communication with the two of them, so he called the cameraman at the top of his voice: "While he is in good condition, I will take some photos of him with makeup. Tell the later stage to rush to work overnight, and strive to replace the previous stills with the current one tomorrow."

Although it is winter, but the sun is shining, the effect of drying out the makeup is not good. After all, people look ordinary and can only make up for it with makeup.

"What a handsome little genius," the female lead Wang Yan praised with a smile, "My little brother has become so handsome with makeup. When the movie is released, there will be many female audiences who will be jealous of me."

Anti-number one Huang Lei also smiled and said: "It seems that with the junior brother, our big beauty has thrown my old bone aside."

"You're filming with Brother Huang, and even before the movie is officially released, many of your fans are already envious and jealous of me," Wang Yan's lips curled up, "I don't know how many fans are talking about me behind my back."

Hearing this, the smile on Huang Lei's face became more obvious: "To each other, your fans leave messages on my Weibo every day, telling me to take good care of you, I am the one with the greatest responsibility."

The two belong to the same brokerage company. Although they are not familiar with each other, they both try to maintain peace with each other. They drink tea together in the hotel on weekdays, and sometimes even forward each other's Weibo to stir up popularity. As for how much friendship the two have, it is probably only themselves Understood.

And here, Liu Xing was dragged by the cameraman to take nearly an hour of makeup photos, and was immediately called out, because the movie was about to start, so he specially chose a good time, that is, a good day and auspicious day, to have a good-bye God ritual.Generally speaking, at the opening ceremony, the table used for worship is covered with red velvet cloth, on which Emperor Guan is enshrined, and on both sides are incense burners, roast suckling pig and delicious fruits.Usually the camera is covered with a red cloth, and then the main creators of the crew offer incense and worship gods one by one, and finally lift the red cloth of the machine to announce the start-up.This time was no exception, led by the director, followed by the screenwriter, producer, and various actors. After offering incense, they lifted up the camera covered with red cloth.

It is said that this procedure first came from the fear of "scribing".The so-called "scribing" refers to the early film era, when the film in the camera was accidentally scratched by the parts inside during shooting.If "scribing" 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".

Since the worship of gods came from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the gods they worship are actually not high-level, probably Lord Guan, Huang Daxian and the like.Because old filmmakers have a lot of quack and community spirit, worshiping gods basically comes from the rules of the opera world.

But after arriving in the mainland, the atmosphere of atheism in the mainland finally made the worship ceremony in vain. Basically, no god is worshiped. Whoever you think in your heart is whoever you want, from Monkey King to Lumiere.But it cannot be abolished, because it is a ceremony after all, and it has a calming effect.

Movies were born in the age of industrial civilization, so there are no gods to worship.If you really want to worship, there is a god called the camera god.What the production crew of that era was most afraid of was machine scribing, so all the machines were covered with red cloth to ward off evil spirits, because they were afraid of this.But generally a ritual is needed to ritualize this fear and taboo.

For Director Zhang, worshiping God at the start is a mobilization meeting for the crew, and there is no "mystery" at all. Instead, he bought a roast suckling pig from a well-known and well-established shop specially for a drink after the start.

First, the host gave a speech. After a burst of compliments, he began to introduce the important guests who came today, officials from H City, the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, the Film and Television Artists Association, the Writers Association, the high-level executives of Huayu Company, and some other people. After a long speech, the director's speech began.

As a well-known director, Zhang Lu has long been familiar with the routine. After showing off in a low-key manner, she exaggerated the script of the movie in different ways, and appealed to the audience, hoping that everyone will continue to support "Transaction Record".

Then came the actor's speech.

The first person to speak was Liu Xing: "It is a great honor for me to be able to participate in the movie "Transaction Record" and to be the number one male. I am a businessman who started as a salesman. I know that everyone treats me I had a lot of doubts, but at the beginning I was recommended because the job of a salesperson overlapped with Fang Lingyun’s personality. At the beginning, I thought I could act in my true colors, but the screenwriter Bai rejected me who went through the back door, so I began to think about whether my acting skills were qualified, and I was very lucky, my acting talent was not bad, and I successfully passed the test of screenwriter Bai and became the number one male."

Liu Xing paused, then continued: "I know people won't believe me based on my acting skills. As for the facts, you can only see the effect of the film. If you want to know how my film is, please go to Let's watch "Transaction Record" in the Spring Festival file at Huayu Cinema."

"My speech is over, thank you all." Liu Xing bowed and then left.

The next thing is Huang Lei's speech. As an old actor who has debuted for more than 10 years, he is already familiar with this set.

Then there were the speeches of female number one Wang Yan and female number two Chen Xiaoxiao. The timing of their speeches was very precise, and they were prepared in advance. At 55:[-], everyone moved to the altar.

As soon as ten o'clock arrives, the director will take the lead in offering incense, and then the screenwriter, producer, producer, and leading actors will offer incense one by one, and everyone will go up to offer three sticks of incense in turn.

Three sticks of incense can express respect to the Three Jewels of Buddhism, Dharma, and Sangha, and it means offering to the Three Jewels, that is, offering to all Buddhas, offering to all dharmas, and offering to all monks.It also means diligently practicing the three studies of precepts, samadhi, and wisdom, and extinguishing the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance.He expresses his willingness to cut off all evil, cultivate all good, and vow to save all sentient beings.When inserting the middle one, you can say or meditate, offering to all Buddhas, the second on the right, offering to all dharmas, and the third on the left, offering to all saints and monks.
