Chapter 509
October 6th, an auspicious day.
The weather is fine.
Around 9 am.
Ludao Film and Television Shooting Base.
There is an area where many people gather, which seems particularly lively, and the sound of firecrackers is heard one after another.
Today is the start day of the TV series "Beginning".
In addition to the crew members, there are also many media reporters and some onlookers.
Of course, many of these people are here for Sun Yunhao.
Lin Jinyan is here too.
She has been attending an event in a neighboring province these two days and flew here early in the morning.
Xu Qingyong flew directly from Beijing to Ludao, looking tired, it seems that he did not rest well last night.
The drama "Beginning" did not introduce external capital. It is a TV series solely funded by Lin Jinyan Studio.
Sun, Lin, and Xu all invested.
According to Lin Jinyan, "If this drama fails, you (Sun Yunhao) should prepare to write a song to pay off your debts!"
In the Chinese film and television industry, whenever a new film or drama is launched, there must be a start-up ceremony.
To put it bluntly, it is to choose an auspicious day and then hold a worship ceremony.
The tradition of the start-up ceremony originated in Hong Kong and other regions, and later gradually spread to the mainland.
It borrowed the rules of the opera industry and integrated the special needs of the film industry, becoming a custom with industry characteristics.
The crew of "The Beginning" is no exception.
In fact, most of the start-up worship of gods in major crews today are more like crew mobilization meetings, and the "mysterious color" is not so strong.
However, some traditional customs are still strictly followed.
The most praised among them is the choice of auspicious time and the emphasis on the direction of worship.
Auspicious time is undoubtedly the most critical part of the start-up ceremony.
The selection of this time is often deduced by experienced professionals.
The ultimate goal is to ensure that the work starts at the best time, can be filmed smoothly and achieve success.
However, there are unexpected events.
What if the start date happens to be a rainy day?
In the film and television industry, there is a saying that even if it is rainy, there will be no downpours.
On the contrary, drizzle is often regarded as a good omen.
It means "water will prosper", which indicates that the work will rise rapidly like bamboo shoots after rain, and will receive full praise and box office.
In addition to the auspicious time, the direction of worship is also an important part of the start ceremony that cannot be ignored.
In traditional Chinese culture, direction and fortune are closely related.
Therefore, when starting at different times and places, the direction of worship must also be strictly followed.
Roughly speaking, there are requirements for the direction of worship in all directions. A slight deviation may result in a slight error.
Some crews even accurately calculate this requirement to the longitude and latitude to ensure the accuracy of the direction of worship.
However, in the film and television industry, there are also some people who do not follow the rules.
Jay Chou is one of the best.
As a Christian artist, Jay Chou did not participate in the worship ceremony when the filming started.
He chose to stand aside and pray in a quiet and pious manner, sending his blessings and expectations for the work.
In fact, Sun Yunhao did not care much about this kind of opening ceremony.
If worshiping gods really worked, there would not be so many film and television dramas that failed in a year.
There are too many factors that affect the performance.
Worshiping gods at the start of the filming, going through the ceremony, and seeking peace of mind.
The on-site process was carried out in an orderly manner according to the established arrangements.
The first speaker was a leader of the Ludao Municipal Government who was invited to attend the opening ceremony.
He warmly welcomed the arrival of the "Beginning" crew and gave high expectations for the show.
Then director Chen Lei came on stage and gave a speech.
He greeted the media and audiences warmly, and briefly introduced the general plot and highlights of the drama "Beginning", so that everyone had a preliminary understanding of the upcoming drama.
Wu Peixia, as the representative of Lin Jinyan Studio (investor), also had a speech.
Then, Sun Yunhao came on stage, speaking as a representative of the actors.
He was dressed in the uniform of the crew today, and as soon as he appeared, he caused screams and cheers from many fans at the scene.
He smiled and waved to everyone.
Then he walked to the microphone, sincerely thanked all the friends who were present, and expressed his full expectations for the drama.
He said: "This drama is of great significance to me. It is not only a bold attempt for me as a screenwriter, but also another challenge on my acting career. I will work hard with every member of the crew to strive to present a wonderful work to everyone."
After a lot of tossing, with many main creators "starting the filming",Good luck!".
"The Beginning" officially started!
The red cloth of the camera was also lifted!
Then came the interview session.
This session is similar to the invitation of reporters to the premiere of "Sword Record".
The reporters who came to interview were all invited, and they had to take "little red envelopes" before leaving.
Some of their questions were even arranged in advance by the crew, just going through the process.
A reporter asked Sun Yunhao a question.
"Teacher Sun, according to what I have learned, the names of the male and female protagonists of "The Beginning" come from a poem you wrote. Can you tell us what kind of poem it is? ”
At this time, everyone who heard the reporter's words seemed a little stunned, but then they were surprised.
Especially for the actors who had roles in "The Beginning", they heard about this for the first time.
Ask about Sun Yunhao's ability to write poems?
Of course.
A poem "When Will the Bright Moon Appear" made countless scholars shout that this poem is better than "The Moon on the Branches", and it is the best poem about the moon.
I heard that in the high school monthly exam paper a few days ago, this poem was directly used as a test question, and students were asked to appreciate it. It was also a hot search.
Another poem "The Turtle's Longevity" was also regarded as a classic by countless experts and scholars.
So, at this moment, everyone was very curious.
What kind of poem would this be?
Before Sun Yunhao spoke, Chen Lei picked up the microphone and said.
"What's the point of talking about poetry? Those who know Yunhao know that his calligraphy is also unique. Yunhao's works are hard to find on the market now. Why not let Yunhao write this poem? What do you think? "
After saying that, Chen Lei winked at Sun Yunhao slyly.
