"Xu Yi, are you free tonight?”
"No!"
"Alright, I'll send you my location. Come over for a meal and get to know the other members of the crew. I'll introduce them to you.”
"Alright."
After hanging up, Xu Yi knew that Director Xu wanted him to familiarize himself with the other actors in advance.
Xu Yi walked out of the hotel and hailed a taxi. Soon, he saw Director Xu Jizhou chatting and laughing with a group of actors.
Director Xu saw Xu Yi walking over from afar and quickly smiled and waved.""Come, let me introduce you. This is the actor who played Gao Qisheng, Xu Yi.”
"Xu Yi, these two are Lin Jiachuan and Sun Yan, who are playing the Tang brothers.”
Lin Jiachuan and Sun Yan looked at each other, as if asking if they knew each other. In the end, neither of them knew each other.
"Hello,"
However, they greeted him politely.
"I won't introduce Song Wen. You guys have already met each other. Let me introduce this person. Lonnie, who plays Gao Qilan in the drama, is your sister!”
"The three Gaos are all here!" Lonnie joked.”
"Hello, Sister Lonnie." No matter who Xu Yi introduced, he would always call them 'brother'.
After all, he was only in his twenties.
"There's also the sister-in-law in the movie, Gao Ye.”
"Sister Ye."
"Hello,"
Next, the director introduced Xu Yi to the actors around him.
It could be said that he took good care of Xu Yi.
In the eyes of these actors, they were more or less puzzled.
Because they really had no impression of the name Xu Yi.
They had some impression of the other actors, but Xu Yi, first of all, looked too young. Furthermore, they had never heard of this name or seen this face on the big screen before.
Director Xu saw everyone's confusion, so he smiled and said,"Xu Yi is still a new actor. Everyone, take good care of him.”
Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Xu Jizhou knew that they were thinking the wrong thing and thought that Xu Yi was a backdoor.""Don't underestimate Xu Yi. His acting skills are recognized by Zhang Yi and Song Wen.”
At this moment, Zhang Songwen also stood up and said,""This is my junior from Northern Film Academy.”
Many people present knew Zhang Songwen, so their gazes turned into curiosity.
"Then I'll have to see Xiao Xu's acting skills in the future!”Teacher Ni Dahong said with a smile.
Xu Yi started chatting humbly with everyone.
In the next two months, everyone would be staying together, so they naturally had to get to know each other better.
Very quickly, Xu Yi and the others became familiar with each other, and there was no longer any distance between them.
In addition, Xu Yi was humble and polite, and his words were humorous and humorous. With just a few sentences, he could make everyone laugh.
This also gave him a lot of credit in everyone's hearts.
Zhang Songwen walked to Xu Yi's side and said with a smile,""How is it? Are you used to it?"
"Fortunately, all the seniors are very enthusiastic.”
"I will spend a lot of time with them in the future. It doesn't matter if I'm not familiar with them now. I will slowly get familiar with them. I used to walk step by step like this in the past.”
"Thank you, Brother Songwen."
Zhang Songwen was very friendly and started chatting with Xu Yi patiently. He even pulled Zhang Yi and the others along.
Xu Yi could tell that Zhang Songwen was trying to make connections for him, so he didn't let down his good intentions.
After the meal, Xu Yi bade farewell to everyone and left.
Two days later.
The production team of " Speedy " was going to hold a ceremony to start filming.
Every production team had to go through this process when they started filming.
The morning sun slowly rose from the east.
The morning dew reflected the sunlight.
This was Guangdong Province, Jiangmen City.
All the filming would be done here.
By the time Xu Yi arrived at the set, many actors were already in position. As the lead actor, Zhang Songwen saw Xu Yi and walked over to his side.
"How did you sleep yesterday?"
"It's pretty good."
"As long as it's good. Do you know how the opening ceremony came about?”
Xu Yi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"This opening ceremony is actually equivalent to the opening ceremony. The foundation laying ceremony is also to attract the attention of the audience.”
Zhang Songwen glanced at the camera covered by the red cloth and said,""Also, there are many uncertain factors that are difficult to control in movies and television dramas nowadays. For example, if an actor falls sick, or if a natural disaster or man-made disaster causes a day of downtimes, they will lose a lot of money.”
" This worship originated from Hong Kong. It originated from the fear of slicing. Slashing refers to the early film era. The film in the camera was accidentally scratched by the parts inside during filming. Because the machine was unpredictable and difficult to prevent, once slicing happened, it would cause immeasurable losses to the crew. The only thing that could be done was to cover the camera with a red cloth to suppress the evil.”
Xu Yi looked at the red cloth covering the camera. This was the first time he knew about these things.
" There's also the horror movies in the past. During the opening ceremony, there would be a ritual to burn joss paper to borrow the glory of the brothers who might be wandering around the production team. Of course, this was a very superstitious opening ceremony.”
"It's purely for luck and psychological comfort.”
"After all, it's a production team. It's impossible to say that your scene will be absolutely calm and stable. Moreover, under the solemn sense of ceremony, the staff will be more serious in their work.”
After listening to Zhang Songwen's introduction, Xu Yi nodded in understanding and said,""I see!"
As the actors arrived one after another, everyone was familiar with them because they had met before. Soon, someone greeted Xu Yi.
"Xu Yi, you're here so early!"
"Good morning, Xu Yi!"
Xu Yi responded one by one.
When he looked at the incense burner in front of him, as well as the pig's head and the statue.
Xu Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
After all, this was his first time participating in the filming ceremony.
Previously, when he was on the set of 'Embroidered Spring Saber', he had entered halfway through and did not know about this at all.
As the director appeared, the morning sun shone brightly.
The opening ceremony officially began under everyone's watchful eyes.
As it was his first time participating, Xu Yi was more curious about everything. He saw Director Xu holding three incense sticks in his hands and respectfully inserting them into them. He pressed his palms together and closed his eyes tightly. He was praying and praying.
After that, the main production crew followed the director and knelt down to pray devoutly.
At the end, the director lifted the red cloth, and the main actors picked up their knives and cut open the pig's head on the chopping board.
This also meant that the filming of Speedy had officially started.
