While in Yanjing, Zhang Zhen organized two script readings, and the relevant leading actors got to know each other. Zhang Zhen also got a better understanding of each actor's situation, and adjusted the script with Jiang Wei, so when it came time to start filming, it went relatively smoothly.

More than half a month passed in a flash. After more than a week of running-in and constant NGs, under Zhang Zhen's patient and meticulous training, Zhao Si and Su Nan gradually found their own rhythm. I can't say how good their acting is, but at least they can reach Zhang Zhen's passing line.

On the surface, the filming of the movie is going more and more smoothly, and the atmosphere on the crew is becoming more and more harmonious. In fact, Zhang Zhen is not satisfied with the current situation. This is his real final work and he cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes. The shots he has seen so far can only be said to be barely acceptable, and it is still a long way from the perfection in his mind.

However, since most of the actors used this time were new, he didn't want to put too much pressure on them. Pressure is a double-edged sword: sometimes it can be a driving force, but sometimes it can completely crush someone. He didn't express any dissatisfaction, simply planning to continue directing them as they filmed, until he felt they were ready, and then reshoot the previous scenes.

Chang Chen never considered whether the actors were willing or had enough time, nor did he consider whether the cost of the film would exceed the budget. After all, this was his last film, and he was determined to put a perfect end to his career. Even if the work was not completed for various reasons, he would never push a defective product in front of the audience.

After two more days of filming, something happened on the crew that almost ended Zhang Zhen's career early. Hou Hao, the actor who played the third male lead, fell from a treetop more than ten meters high due to a wire failure during filming.

It was a night scene, and it was almost dark at nine o'clock, a little after eight. Zhao Si and Su Nan were waiting in line at that time, whispering to each other while swatting mosquitoes.

Suddenly, screams were heard at the scene. Zhao Si saw a figure falling rapidly. His sharp eyes allowed him to tell at a glance that the wire was out of control.

Without thinking too much, Zhao Si took a few steps and flew up to catch the man in mid-air.

At that time, the scene suddenly became eerily quiet. Everyone was stunned and staring at Zhao Si. Hou Hao had already disappeared. It seemed that Zhao Si's behavior was even more shocking than the life-threatening accident.

Su Nan was also shocked, but he had a hunch that the situation was not good. He swallowed hard and hurriedly took out his cell phone to call Gu Lingfeng. Gu Lingfeng immediately called Zhang Zhen and asked the entire crew to keep it confidential, and he would come over to deal with it immediately.

Zhao Si saw everyone's reaction. In fact, when he flew up, he knew that he was exposed and caused trouble for Gu Lingfeng again, but the arrow has been shot and there is no turning back, and he couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.

Because there were so many martial arts scenes and the filming location was remote, the crew had a doctor on hand. Zhao Si carried Hou Hao to the ground steadily, pretending not to notice anything unusual around him. He checked Hou Hao's breath, who lay motionless and pale in his arms, and shouted for a doctor.

"Doctor Xing! Where is Doctor Xing?!"

"Here I come!" Doctor Xing hurriedly ran out of the lounge carrying a medicine box. At Zhao Si's shout, the people at the scene also moved, dragged a mat over and quickly laid the person flat on it.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhen stood by with a face as black as charcoal, waiting for Dr. Xing to examine him. He had been in the industry for decades and had seen actors get injured before. He even said that it was normal for actors to get injured, but those were all minor problems like bumps and bruises. He had never had such a big accident!

No one knows how he felt when he saw Hou Hao fall down from the wire rope out of control. He himself didn't know. His head was buzzing and his whole body was frozen. He didn't move until Zhao Si flew up. If Gu Lingfeng hadn't called and woken him up, he might still be there.

Zhang Zhen touched his chest. The stimulation just now was too great and he felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't dare to think that if it weren't for Zhao Si, Hou Hao would have fallen to death today. How should he explain to Hou Hao and how should he explain to Hou Hao's parents?

Maybe he himself will have to explain himself today.

Doctor Xing didn't know Hou Hao had fallen from a tree. After a quick check, he found nothing unusual and waved his hand with a relaxed expression. "It's okay, he just fainted. It might be heatstroke."

Hearing this, there was a sound of heavy gasps all around. Of course, they knew that Hou Hao was not suffering from heatstroke and was probably fainted from fright. But that was not important. The most important thing was that he was fine!

Zhang Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relieved and his complexion looking a little better. He immediately began to arrange the work.

"Assistant Director Liu, you and Doctor Xing should take Hou Hao to the town hospital first. Then tomorrow we can send him to a large hospital in the city for a full-body checkup."

"Give me all the props! Thoroughly check all the props at the scene. We must find out the cause of the accident!"

"And you, go to the hospital with Hou Hao and contact your company, but don't reveal a single word about what happened tonight. If you have any questions, let your boss come to me directly!" These words were said to Hou Hao's assistant, who was scared half to death and looked even more frightening than Hou Hao, with a pale face.

"Security has cordoned off the scene. Anyone who took photos or videos must delete them immediately. Security will check and remove each person. Today's events must be kept strictly confidential. You all signed confidentiality agreements. Anyone who dares to speak out will be reported to the police immediately!"

After several arrangements were made, the scene fell silent again. Some people looked indifferent while others were indignant. Zhang Zhen was in no mood to care about them and asked the security to quickly seal off the scene. Then he picked up a bench and sat at the door, guarding them and checking them one by one.

Zhao Si didn't show it on his face but he was a little confused inside because everyone looked at him in strange ways, some with gratitude, some with admiration, some with fear, and some with suspicion and disgust.
