Many crews burn incense before turning on the TV. Where did this custom come from?

In the current Chinese film and television circle, whenever a new film (drama) starts shooting, there must be a launching ceremony? That is, choose a good day and have a worship ceremony. Generally speaking, at the start-up ceremony, the desk used for worship is covered with red flannel, and the table is dedicated to Guandi, with incense burners and roast suckling pigs and delicious fruits on both sides. Usually, the camera is covered with red cloth, and then the main creator of the crew creates incense and worships God in turn. Finally, the red cloth of the machine is opened and the machine is announced to be turned on.

It is said that this program originated from the right? Scribing? The fear of. So-called? Scribing? In the early film era, the film in the camera was accidentally scratched by the parts inside when shooting. What if it happens? Scribing? Will cause immeasurable losses to the crew, but machine dicing is unpredictable and difficult to prevent? The only thing I can do is cover the camera with a red cloth? Cure evil spirits? .

Worship of God came from Hong Kong and Taiwan. In fact, the gods they worship are not high-level, that is, Master Guan and Wong Tai Sin. Because the filmmakers in the old age are full of Jianghu spirit and community spirit, the worship of god basically comes from the rules of the opera world. After spread to the mainland, the atmosphere of atheism in the mainland finally made the worship ceremony have a hollow reputation, and basically no gods were worshipped. You can be whoever you want, from the Monkey King to Lumiere. But it can't be abolished, because it is a ceremony after all and has a calming effect. Film was born in the era of industrial civilization, so there is no god to worship. If you really want to worship, there is a god called the camera god. At that time, the crew was most afraid of machine scribing, so all the machines were covered with red cloth to ward off evil spirits, which was what they were afraid of. But in general, a ceremony is needed to ritualize this fear and taboo. Today's boot worship is mostly like a crew mobilization meeting. Mysterious color? Not so strong, but there are several things that must be done. First of all, you can't miss the auspicious time. This time is generally deduced by professionals. What if it rains? I have heard a saying: it usually doesn't rain heavily when it is really auspicious! If the boot coincides with the drizzle, it is also excellent, that is, the so-called? When it comes to water, it will be sent? .

So it represents the following points:

First, it is a boot ceremony; Have a plenty of altar worship; It is equivalent to the groundbreaking ceremony, which has attracted people's attention, especially the audience.

Secondly, because there are many uncertain factors that are hard to control, such as the actor's illness, natural disasters and man-made disasters, which will lead to a day of downtime, they will lose a lot of money. Therefore, they pray to God to bless the people, and there is also a saying that poor fortune-telling means that fate can't be controlled, while rich incense burning means no mistakes. Therefore, people who do business generally like to burn incense and worship Buddha. < p There are no certain rules for worshippers. Buddhists worship bodhisattvas, Taoists worship immortals, and if they don't believe in anything, they worship their ancestors, even Guan Gong and Lu Ban.

Fourth, some crews pay attention to the starting time, just like getting married, for good luck.
