Before shooting, the director always leads the crew to set the stage and burn incense. Why?

When shooting, the director will bring his own crew, and the school will hold an opening ceremony, mainly to pray for smooth shooting, good ratings and peace, which is a good moral.

Generally, when some TV dramas and movies start shooting, the director will hold a start-up ceremony, light incense, put some tributes on the table and cover the camera with red cloth. If you shoot some horror themes, you need someone to look at Feng Shui and see the direction and location.

One of the main purposes of the opening ceremony is to attract the audience and raise the public's attention, so as to improve the ratings of future films when they start broadcasting.

Another is that praying for blessings can make the shooting smooth, so that all members or actors of the crew can be safe during the shooting process, and there can be no accidents and delay the shooting of the crew. Cover the camera with a red cloth, and when you uncover it, it means turning it on. I also want to protect the machine, because the machine is very expensive. Let the machine shoot normally.

Another reason is, for example, to make some movies or TV series with supernatural horror themes. I have to shoot at night, that's when the yin is the heaviest. When shooting, we often have to do some ceremonies to prevent "good brothers" from coming in. If anything strange happens during shooting, stop shooting. After filming, you must go to a crowded place and try not to be alone to avoid being followed by "people". And if the actor is finished, he must give a red envelope, and the amount depends on the situation. This is the rule of the general crew.

And shooting places like this. No one takes pictures here, so it's better not to take pictures, so as not to take too many things. It started in Hong Kong. Hong Kong's film and television industry started relatively early, and many people believe in this kind of thing.

When the director starts shooting, there will be some opening ceremonies. You just want to shoot smoothly, get good ratings and become a good work.
