How to insert a line with spec. characters in a regular expression?

Question

Python

There is a need to dynamically create regular expressions to search for substrings with different headers, it looks something like this:

event_bc = re.search(r'NA={};.+?BC=(.+?);'.format(event_title), category_block)

The problem is that event_title can have specials. symbols. Now it's all implemented by an extremely poor replacement of specials. characters per line:

spec_symbs = ('(', ')')
for sym in spec_symbs:
    event_title = event_title.replace(sym, f'\\{sym}')

There is a way to insert a line with ignoring specials. characters in the regular expression itself?
