Chapter 124 Accident on the Set
As night falls, tonight is another all-night night show.
The scene was brightly lit and bustling with people, accompanied by bursts of cheers. The reason was that it was Ren Jia's birthday today, and the crew had prepared a surprise for her.
There were cakes and flowers, and everyone in the crew sang birthday songs for her, and finally there was a group photo of everyone.
Ren Jia was very happy. If this photo was released, the entry "The crew of Tianmingweihuang celebrated Ren Jia's birthday" would definitely become a hot search, and she would be able to gain some exposure opportunities for herself.
Chen Li was given a small piece of cake, which was her favorite taro flavor. However, after just two bites, Xiao Yun took it away: "That's enough, Ah Li. You'll have to run for the first night scene soon. Eating too much will make you uncomfortable."
It's not that I'm trying to force her to diet and maintain her figure, I'm just simply afraid that she will feel uncomfortable in a while.
Chen Li blinked and pouted a little aggrievedly.
Song Anyu was watching this scene not far away, his eyes full of gentleness and warmth. But the next second, Xiaolong came close and blocked his view: "Anyu, get ready."
Xiaolong's face is dark. What is he looking at? He looks at it every day. His eyes are tired but he still keeps looking.
Sister Hong is really relieved. It has been more than a week and you haven't come to the crew to check on her. Your potential top star is almost being seduced away by someone. If he really falls in love with Shen Li because of the drama, how will the team explain to the company and fans?
Song Anyu looked at Xiaolong, frowned, and asked, "Are you in a bad mood recently? I see that you look particularly bad these past few days. Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiaolong took a long breath and said, "I'm afraid, you know?"
"fear?"
"Yeah, fear. I feel like my job is about to be lost!"
Song Anyu blinked in confusion, then thought about how he got angry that day because Xiaolong took the initiative to ask Chen Li to borrow someone else's position. Could it be that this incident left a shadow on him?
"It's all in the past. Just don't do it again. Don't take it to heart." Song Anyu patted Xiaolong's shoulder and comforted him softly.
Xiaolong's eyes widened slightly, but he felt like he had power but nowhere to use it. The key point was that he couldn't bring up this matter. After all, it was still a false accusation. After An Yu added WeChat, he didn't take any further action.
If he had any further thoughts, he would immediately tell Sister Hong about it.
"Next act, prepare for the set, check the equipment!"
This scene involves being chased by assassins in black at night. A large number of extras have to run and chase on walls and rooftops without any protective measures, so the cost of the extras in this scene is also higher.
The director deliberately selected actors with experience in this area from the extras, because it is not just about chasing and running, and the difficulty is that this is a scene on a rainy night.
Once bricks and tiles get wet, it is easy to slip underfoot, greatly increasing the risk factor.
The staff began to stick anti-slip stickers on the soles of the extras' shoes, which seemed to have some effect.
"Everyone, get ready and take your positions. Be sure to pay attention to safety later."
Four sprinkler trucks are ready and everyone is in good shape. On one side of Chen Li is Song Anyu, and on the other side is her idol Song Yuner. The original novel describes this scene as very tense and full of dramatic tension.
Chen Li was feeling both nervous and excited at this moment.
"The sprinkler truck starts!"
Four sprinkler trucks started to spray rain at the same time, soaking the entire scene to avoid being exposed. Then the sound of the board fell, and the protagonists began to run forward with all their might. The camera quickly moved forward on the slide to follow the scene.
At the same time, the high-altitude camera began to capture the black-clad assassins who jumped onto the walls and roofs. These extras were very dedicated and chased without hesitation. Their speed at high altitudes was faster than that of people on the ground.
"ah--"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, one of the extras on the beam slipped and fell down. And because it was a rainy night scene, all the lighting on the scene was dim. It was not until the scream of pain was heard that everyone realized that someone had fallen from above.
“Ah…it hurts!”
The extra wailed, and the director quickly stopped the scene, and the medical staff of the crew rushed over to check the situation.
Chen Li looked nervous and wanted to move closer to take a look. This was the first time since she joined the group that someone had been injured so badly. When she heard the other person's cry of pain, she knew that the injury must be serious.
In the end, Song Anyu pulled him back from behind and said, "Don't go over there. I'll go take a look."
Without waiting for Chen Li to speak, Song Anyu strode over.
The extra was a young man in his early twenties. He seemed to have injured his ankle bones. He curled up into a ball and trembled in pain. There was obvious deformation in his ankle, which was probably caused by the force when he landed. It was very likely a fracture or even a bone.
Song Anyu frowned instinctively, luckily he didn't let Chen Li see it, otherwise she would definitely be scared.
The crew quickly called 120 and the patient had to be sent to the hospital immediately.
"How is it? Is the injury serious?"
Seeing Song Anyu coming back, Shen Li hurried forward to ask.
Song Anyu did not hide it and nodded gently: "My foot is injured, it may be a bit serious."
Chen Li looked worried: "What should we do? Will it affect his future acting?"
Song Yuner, who was standing by, heard Chen Li's words and whispered, "When I first started, I was just like you. I couldn't bear to see my colleagues on the crew get hurt, but I gradually realized that getting injured during filming is a normal thing. Even with protective measures, they are not perfect."
Song Anyu also nodded: "Sister Yuner is right, injuries are very common, you don't need to be so nervous."
Chen Li was not nervous, she was simply worried about the other person out of kindness.
The reason why extras work so hard is to gain more opportunities for themselves. If they damage their foundation, they may not have any opportunities in the future.
The ambulance arrived at the set quickly and took the person away, but the cruel thing was that no one had the extra time to pay attention to the injured extra. Every day of delay in progress would waste a lot of money, and the rental of these four sprinkler trucks alone was not cheap.
So there was no time for everyone to adjust their emotions, the scene quickly returned to normal and filming continued as usual.
In this scene, Chen Li's condition was indeed not as good as before, but she still performed her duties conscientiously.
When she returned to the lounge during the break, the incident was still lingering in her mind. Finally, she couldn't help but say to A Pan, "A Pan, the boy who was just injured, if you are free tomorrow, go to the hospital for me to see him and buy him some supplements to strengthen his tendons and protect his bones."
Upon hearing this, A Pan said, "Don't worry, A Li. The crew will take care of this matter. We will cover the medical expenses and compensation."
Xiaoyun glanced at Apan and said, "Ali, don't you understand? She's just worried about that person. Just do as she's told."
A Pan had no choice but to nod, and what Chen Li had just said was heard by Song Anyu and Xiaolong at the door.
Song Anyu looked at Xiaolong: "You go too."
Xiaolong:?
I feel better today and will start updating for you all tomorrow. I’m sorry I haven’t updated much these days.
