Two days later, the crew turned on as planned.


    Generally, when a crew starts up, it is necessary to hold a start-up ceremony. Some troupes hold the opening ceremony at the shooting site. At the opening ceremony, the crew is basically all present, and some media reporters will be invited to report. Some pay attention to the publicity of the crew, even in the hotel or theater and other places to hold a special press conference.


    With Xiao Yao''s character, the project he is in charge of will definitely not hold a press conference specially for starting up. But he will hold the opening ceremony. Because this opening ceremony is not only about media publicity, but also about the whole crew.


    Xiao Yao didn''t like to start the publicity of the project too early. He never took the initiative to disclose information to the media or contact the media to buy a layout for publicity in the stage of preparing for casting. He never disclosed theater photos to the media for news reports during shooting.


    The two film projects he led before were reported by the media occasionally because of crowdfunding and Xiao Yao in the variety show after the project was approved. There was no news during the casting and shooting. The incident of local villagers making trouble and fighting with local scoundrels when shooting "the donkey gets the water" will definitely be a hot news. I''m afraid that any drama crew will take advantage of this incident to make some hype. But Xiao Yao in the local police to deal with the matter, Xiao Yao really did not put the video out, did not take the opportunity to hype.


    However, sometimes the crew does not take the initiative to seek news reports from the media, which does not mean that the media will not take the initiative to dig news from the crew.


    With Xiao Yao''s current fame, he was the target of entertainment reporters. On the whole, however, Xiao Yao''s lacy news is rare. The private life can''t catch up, so the media reporters naturally focus on Xiao Yao''s work. Xiao Yao''s performance in variety shows and film and television works is very good. In terms of variety shows, there are many official behind the scenes gags, but what he is doing on the set is rarely disclosed.


    At present, Xiao Yao''s films and TV works are not many, but his amazing actions are quite a lot.


    For example, when he was shooting "Ling Yunzhi", he "went to the studio to uncover tile", and made a movement called "Parkour" with Zhao Rui and others; when he was shooting "tuner", he bought a hamburger for Cheng Xi temporarily to design her slovenly image, and he also put special effects makeup on Cheng Xi; when he was shooting "127 Hours", he shut himself up for two days and one night, and when he was shooting "little black room"; when he was shooting "Parkour", he was in the middle of the movie No matter what, it''s very eye-catching for the public.


    However, none of these things were discovered or reported by the media reporters at that time when the crew members were interviewed or even received awards at the award ceremony after the film was made or released. In other words, except for the crew, no one else knew at that time.


    It''s not that the media reporters are not interested in Xiao Yao''s work on the set. On the contrary, they are very interested, but they just don''t come across it.


    When Xiao Yao was just an actor, the media reporters normally participated in the start-up conference of the crew and went to the crew to explore the class. However, in the past when shooting Ling Yunzhi, Xiao Yao was still a middle school student and a newcomer. The media reporters were not so interested in him, and they didn''t pay so much attention to his affairs when they visited the crew. When shooting "127 Hours", the reporter also went to visit the crew, but it was earlier than before, and Xiao Yao didn''t "shut down" himself.


    Xiao Yao''s three films and TV works, which he directed himself, are deliberately isolating media reporters.


    "Tuner" is a short film. It''s been shot for a week. Xiao Yao didn''t take the initiative to disclose the project to the media reporters. When the media reporters got the news, the crew had already finished, and there was no visiting crew at all.


    "Parkour boy" was shot in the United States. Even if the reporter knew that he was going to shoot in the United States, Xiao Yao didn''t disclose the specific shooting location and refused to visit the reporters. No Chinese media would send reporters to the United States to look for their crew. The shooting place of "donkey gets water" is in a remote mountain village in Northwest China. In the case that Xiao Yao did not disclose the specific shooting place and refused to visit the media reporters, it is also difficult for media reporters to find the location of their crew.


    Because of this history, media reporters are more interested in Xiao Yao''s work on the set. During the shooting of Xiao Yao''s film and television project, the pursuit of news and the requirement of visiting the crew are also stronger than stars of his level.


    Xiao Yao didn''t like to be disturbed by media reporters when he was making films, so he did intend to isolate the media in his own films. Xiao Yao didn''t inform or invite media reporters at the opening ceremony of the previous two films, running cool boy and donkey getting water. He was just thinking about keeping the shooting place secret.


    However, Xiao Yao could not continue to do so in this project. For the first two films, one was shot in the United States, and the other was shot in a remote mountain village in the northwest. As long as the crew does a good job of confidentiality and does not disclose it to the media, media reporters will not be able to find it. However, this TV play is a modern urban play. It was shot in the urban area of Shencheng, a super first tier city. There are also some scenes in the public places such as the commercial buildings in the streets and CBD District, so it can''t be kept secret at all.Since there is no way to keep secrets, it''s better to invite media reporters to report than to let them take pictures secretly. Therefore, in addition to the crew members, many media reporters were invited to attend and report the opening ceremony.


    Nowadays, there is a ceremony of worship in the opening ceremony of China. A red flannel cloth is usually used to cover the table used for worship. A certain immortal is worshipped on the table. Next to and in front of the table are censers and objects worshipped. Next to the table, the camera is covered with a red cloth. The main creators of the film group worshiped the gods in turn, and finally opened the red cloth on the camera and announced that it was on.


    The tradition of worship ceremony originated from Hong Kong Island. It''s not necessarily a feudal superstition. Instead, it''s a prayer to avoid the uncontrollable human factors such as natural and man-made disasters when shooting, so as to avoid the loss of the crew. With Hong Kong Island film and television people going north, mainland film and television projects will do the same when they start up.


    Although Xiao Yao was a ghost, he didn''t believe in ghosts. When shooting "Parkour boy" in the United States, because the crew members were either American or young Chinese, there was no ceremony of burning incense and worshiping gods when it was turned on. It was just a simple announcement that it was turned on. However, in China, Xiao Yao''s psychological consideration of seeking peace of mind for most of the cast members still carried out this ritual of burning incense and worshiping gods.


    The last time I filmed "donkey gets water" in Northwest China, although there were no media reporters present, only the crew members. The crew also held the opening ceremony of burning incense and worshiping gods, and it was under the guidance of Lin Jingliang, a Hong Kong Islander. At the opening ceremony of this TV series, Xiao Yao drew gourds according to the rules and procedures he learned from Lin Jingliang last time.


    After the main creators of the production team finished the incense, Xiao Yao, as the producer, together with Director Chen Jun, lifted the red cloth on the camera and yelled to announce the start-up. The ceremony was completed.


    However, although the ceremony was completed, the opening ceremony did not end there. Shooting will not start immediately after the opening ceremony. As there are still media reporters at the scene, the next time is for members of the crew to have free activities and exchanges and for media reporters to interview.


    Although it wasn''t in the form of a press conference, at the beginning of the opening ceremony, some people also introduced the main members of the cast to the reporters present. Although the media reporters have known a lot about the personnel information of this TV series project from various channels before, they really confirmed and comprehensively understood all the main members in front of and behind the scenes of the TV series at the opening ceremony.


    In the eyes of media reporters, the main personnel in front of and behind the scenes, especially the cast of the cast, are still very attractive, and the choice of some actors is beyond the expectation of most media reporters. Therefore, after the end of incense burning and God worship and entering the time of free activities and free interviews, many reporters immediately came to Xiao Yao and asked for interviews.


    After burning incense and worshiping gods, the opening ceremony of the cast on Hong Kong Island has a part of meat burning. Since Xiao Yao came according to the process of Lin Jingliang''s teaching, this ceremony also has this link.


    Xiao Yao was surrounded by a group of reporters and asked for an interview before he had two mouthfuls of roast meat. Xiao Yao does not care about the image, while eating the meat on the plate, while accepting the reporter''s interview.


    "Director Xiao, why did Yin Xi play the first girl in this project?" A reporter at the front asked first.


    "First of all, I''m not the director of this TV series, so don''t call me the director?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "as for Yin Xi''s role as Nu Yi, of course, it is because she is suitable for this role."


    "Yin Xi didn''t come from a professional actor, but turned from a model to an actor," the reporter then asked. "She has never been a first girl before. Do you have any confidence in Yin Xi''s acting skills?"


    "Of course I have confidence!" Xiao Yao didn''t forget to fork a piece of roast meat into his mouth, and then said, "it doesn''t mean that you can''t play female one now because you haven''t played female one before. Normally speaking, most of the actors start from the supporting role, or even the Dragon set, and end up playing the leading role. "


    "Is it?" The reporter looked at Xiao Yao and asked.


    "I know what you want to say!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "of course, I am an exception! But there are not many like me, so I say most of them. "


    "Although Yin Xi has changed from a model to an actress, she has been acting for several years. Actually, she has played more roles than me!" Xiao Yao then said, "over the years, her acting skills have improved for all to see. I think she can play this role well."


    "I''ve heard that you and Yin Xi will play the leading role in this play long ago." Another reporter interjected and asked, "you and Yin Xi are both producers of this play. You are not only the main investor, but also the producer and screenwriter. I heard a saying that this play is just for you to promote Yin Xi. Is that right?"


    "This play is really for Yin Xi!" Xiao Yao nodded first, then shook his head and said, "as for holding Yin Xi, I don''t think I need to hold Yin Xi now!"


    "Then why did you start the play for Yin Xi?" The reporter continued.


    "Because she said she wanted to play with me!" Xiao Yao shrugged, "we have known each other for more than ten years, and we have a very good relationship. She took care of me very much. She not only cooperated with me to co brand, but also built and gave me my studio in Shencheng. Although we are not related by blood, in my heart, she is the same as my sister. If my sister has this wish, I will try my best to help her fulfill it! ""I heard that you wrote the play, too?" Asked another reporter.


    "I didn''t write it alone, and other writers participated in it, but I wrote the main part." Xiao Yao said, "I wrote the outline of the script, the main body of the story, and the setting of the main characters. Other writers helped to improve the specific plot and some details."


    "You said that your relationship is sister and brother. You wrote about the younger brother of a female owner in the play. Why do you play a couple instead of sister and brother with her in this play?" Asked the reporter.


    "In reality, it''s sister and brother. In the play, it''s sister and brother. How boring?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "it''s just fun to be different."


    "When you play a couple with Yin Xi, aren''t you afraid your girlfriend is angry? No, it should be the fiancee. Aren''t you afraid that the fiancee is angry? " The reporter asked with a smile, "by the way, have you and sun Tingting got the certificate? When is the wedding? Has the date been fixed? "


    "Now there are many couples in the performing arts circle. Can''t you play couples with others when you have a partner or get married?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Sun Tingting is an actor, and her parents are both actors. Of course, she will not fail to understand the difference between acting and reality."


    "Oh The reporter nodded.


    "In addition," Xiao Yao continued, "Sun Tingting knows the relationship between Yin Xi and me. She has a very good relationship with Yin Xi and takes her as her sister. I told sun Tingting in advance that I was going to start this play for Yin Xi. After the script was written, I also showed it to sun Tingting. She agreed, and then I officially started this project. "


    "The last sentence is the point, isn''t it?" The reporter said with a smile, "it was reported in advance and agreed in advance!"


    "Ha ~" beside the reporters also laughed.


    "I''d like to ask why Yu shaoting was chosen to play the younger brother of the hostess. Do you like his flow and topic?" Another reporter asked.


    "Is the flow of Yu shaoting very high?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.


    "Wow ~" hearing Xiao Yao''s words, a group of reporters looked at each other in amazement.


    "Compared with you, of course, it''s a little bit worse, but his traffic is not small, is it?" The reporter then said, "you and Yin Xi are not the only actors in this play. The flow of other actors is also very important to this play, right?"


    "Not with me, of course, but with Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "even if we don''t talk about the flow of the two of them, if we three appear in the same play, when this play is broadcast in the future, the topic degree will certainly be higher than that of Yu shaoting?"


    "Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan? They''re going to be in the show, too? But we didn''t hear them just now, and we didn''t see them today! " The reporter was puzzled.


    If Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan also play in this play, the topic will definitely explode. In front of the three of them, the traffic impact of Yu shaoting is nothing.


    "They all have auditions for the play, and they want to play a part in it. Among them, Lin Qisan auditioned for the role of Yu shaoting!" Xiao Yao said, "but unfortunately, neither of them passed the audition."


    "What? They both auditioned and failed? " The reporter couldn''t believe it and said, "why? With their relationship with you, how can they fail the audition? "


    "I don''t know!" Xiao Yao said, "except for a man and a woman, the actors of other roles are directors who has the final say. You have to ask Mr. Chen about this
