The crew has already assembled, so naturally filming will start immediately.
The opening ceremony is a very superstitious thing.
But Fang Yuan ordered that it must be done in a grand manner.
Make it as luxurious as possible.
Don't be stingy with the funds, and it's best to make it known to the whole country.
When Nie Yutian heard this, she immediately put into practice the skills she had learned from her best friend Guan Yingying in the past few days.
Everything Mr. Fang does has his reasons.
We need to use divergent thinking to think about why Mr. Fang did this.
Nie Yutian began to think, and she realized it.
As a brand new crew, if they hadn't done anything at the opening ceremony, this movie wouldn't have made any splash in the market.
But if the opening ceremony is very successful and wins the attention of many people, then this brand new crew will also be able to gain a lot of traffic.
Although this incident seems shameless, it is an underhanded trick used by the movie.
But if we don’t do this, the promotion of the film won’t make any waves at all.
By that time, it was impossible to get a schedule in cinemas, so it was taken off the shelves.
A launch ceremony that shocked the whole country at least let the world know that such a movie is being filmed.
New directors, new actors, new crews, if we really want to promote them, nothing can be achieved.
Set up the stage first, and people will naturally come to watch the show.
It’s like some restaurants, which put up a big sign explaining what they do before they even open.
In this way, when it opens, there will naturally be curious people coming in to take a look.
"Yes, Boss, you said it very well. I feel that we really need a very solemn opening ceremony."
Fang Yuan didn't expect that Nie Yutian actually thought the same thing as him.
"You still have a lot of ideas?"
Fang Yuan began to brainwash Nie Yutian.
"First of all, we need to choose a good place for the opening ceremony. It has to be in a central area of the city, and it has to be based on good feng shui."
Fang Yuan thought that the rent in the core area was expensive and he could spend a lot of money.
Nie Yutian was thinking that Feng Shui really had to be taken into consideration.
There’s no way around it, this is how the industry is, and all opening ceremonies have to be done this way.
Before filming begins, you need to ask a master to calculate an auspicious day, and then cover the camera with a red cloth.
Then, the main creative staff of the crew went up one by one to light incense and worship.
Finally, in front of the statue of the god, the red cloth covering the camera was lifted.
Because, in the early years, the film used for shooting was very prone to "scratching".
In other words, parts of the camera scratched the film.
If this phenomenon really happens, then all the work of the crew will be in vain.
After the film is sliced, all the films taken with it cannot be used.
This loss is immeasurable.
Going through the power-on ceremony can avoid many possibilities of film scratching, and you can pray to the statue of God that the camera will not be scratched.
By the way, there is a superstitious atmosphere in the film industry in Hong Kong Island.
Those bigwigs, after investing in a movie, if they find that there is no opening ceremony or wrap-up ceremony, they will blame the box office failure on the lack of these two ceremonies.
Sometimes when shooting a horror film, whether it is shooting on location or shooting in a studio yourself, there are some things to be careful about.
Horror movies are kind of evil.
Many crews have encountered supernatural events while filming horror movies.
Therefore, when shooting a horror movie, these are the most important things.
Fang Yuan continued with his thoughts on the opening ceremony.
"So, we booked Jing'an Temple for a day and invited the masters there to perform a blessing ceremony for the start of the film."
Nie Yutian's heart trembled when she heard this.
She is a local of Shanghai, and booking Jing'an Temple for a whole day is not something that everyone can do.
In addition to having strong connections, the cost of booking the entire venue is also not low.
At the very least, it would cost hundreds of thousands.
This is not the main part. The main part comes from the blessing ceremony held by the masters.
You know, when all these masters come out, it’s not just a matter of price.
Of course, if the money is available in one go, the problem can also be solved with money.
But this would be a huge sum of money.
Fang Yuan continued, "Our opening ceremony must last from day to night. During the day, we will invite the master to chant sutras, and at night we will set off fireworks, and invite all the people who come to Jing'an Temple to have an opening dinner."
Nie Yutian was stunned after hearing this.
What kind of opening ceremony can last from morning to night?
How many masters would we need just to invite them to chant sutras?
Then, fireworks at night?
Be good, if you want to set off fireworks, you must apply to the relevant department.
Moreover, the cost of fireworks is generally not low, ranging from several million to tens of millions, or even higher.
Fang Yuan continued, "Ah, drones, hot air balloons, get them all ready. Put up billboards on buses, subways, train stations, and airports. I want everyone in Shanghai to know that we're starting to film Country Love."
Nie Yutian's pupils were like an earthquake, a tsunami, and a volcanic eruption.
With just this much pomp and circumstance, it can really grab the hot searches of the day.
But all the money was burned.
Nie Yutian still has the mindset of a poor director, thinking, wouldn’t it be a good idea to use the money as filming expenses?
Fang Yuan saw what Nie Yutian meant, and then said to her, "When it comes to movies, the more money you invest, the better the movie will be. Look, whether it's domestic or foreign, there are quite a few high-investment movies that fail, right?"
Nie Yutian nodded, this was the truth.
But seeing that more money than her own filming funds were spent on the opening ceremony, she still felt a little distressed.
Um……
Nie Yutian understood.
No wonder my best friend Guan Yingying said that everything Director Fang did needed to be thoroughly investigated and dug deeper.
As an observer, it is amazing how much money can be invested in the opening ceremony of a movie.
Well, this movie must be something.
You can pay attention to it then.
As long as the subsequent trailers are in line with the tastes of this group of people.
Then, the first wave of moviegoers emerged.
As expected of Mr. Fang, he has already successfully started four businesses at such a young age.
With such a keen eye, he deserves to have made hundreds of billions.
After Guan Yingying's explanation, Nie Yutian realized that Fang Yuan in front of her was already a billionaire at such a young age.
If Nie Yutian didn't have to make a movie now, she would have stopped working hard.
He is young, handsome, and has assets worth tens of billions.
Under such conditions, if you go to People's Park for a blind date, I'm afraid those old men and women will fight over it.
Nie Yutian opened up her mind, used up her imagination, and said, "Boss, do you want to set up a motorcade and hang banners in the streets and alleys of the Magic City?"
"good!"
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, thinking that this employee was quite sensible and knew how to help the boss share the pressure of spending money.
