PRAYER CEREMONY BEFORE START OF FILMING

The cast and crew of "Linger" pre-filming prayer ceremony

Each time before the start of a new movie, there will always be a prayer ceremony to ask for blessings and protection from the deities for the cast and crew. This is to prevent any untoward incidents from happening.

Also those actors or actresses who portray characters who have to die or are dead will be given red packets containing money or laisee for good luck. In the film "Linger" starring Vic Chou, the actor took on the role of a young man who died in an accident and had to act as a cadaver after postmortem, then also as a corpse lying in a coffin and finally as a ghost. I wonder how much laisee the director gave to him for good luck?
