Chapter 390 Accident
At night, in Gu Wei’s room at the crew hotel.
Zhang Tianai, with her hair tied in a ponytail and wearing loose pajamas, sat on the sofa, eating fruit and browsing her phone.
The sound of a shower came from the bathroom, and soon Gu Wei came out wrapped in a bath towel after taking a shower.
"What are you looking at so intently?"
Walking to the sofa, Gu Wei sat behind Zhang Tianai and asked while wiping his head with a towel.
After Gu Wei came over, Zhang Tianai immediately shifted his attention from his phone.
She looked at Gu Wei's freshly washed face, his still wet hair, and his chest muscles faintly visible through the collar of his bath towel. She chuckled, then threw down her phone, hugged Gu Wei's neck and kissed him on the face.
"Muah, wash it clean, it smells so good!"
"Stop it, I just took a shower and your saliva is all over my face."
"Hehe, but you smell so good, I can't help it~"
Gu Wei ignored her, put the used towel aside, picked up the grapes on the coffee table and started eating.
Zhang Tianai found a comfortable position and leaned on him naturally.
"I read the news and saw that on the 20th, Wallace Huo and Ruby Lin announced on Weibo that they were together. And at the end of this month, on the 30th, Yuan Hong and Zhang Xinyi are also going to have their wedding in Germany.
There are so many couples in the entertainment industry lately."
Gu Wei picked up the remote control from the coffee table and turned on the TV.
“It’s not surprising, Wallace Huo and Ruby Lin have been friends for many years, but no one expected them to end up together.
Yuan Hong is a good friend of Zhang Xinyi's ex-husband, director Yang Shupeng, and was even the best man at her last wedding.
“So you catch a horse?
The best man becomes the groom, what does Zhang Xinyi's ex-husband think?
Zhang Tianai was a little surprised, as she didn't understand what was going on here.
Gu Wei shrugged.
"Who knows, maybe Yuan Hong had already had eyes for my brother's wife, or maybe they developed feelings for each other later.
But no matter what, he and his former good brother and ex-husband Yang Shupeng probably can't go back to the way they were before."
In fact, Zhang Xinyi and Yuan Hong are a pretty good couple. Although their experience before marriage was rather bumpy and their relationship was a bit messy, and Zhang Xinyi had even been divorced twice before, and this is her third marriage, they are indeed very loving after being together.
It can be seen from all aspects that Yuan Hong, who is getting married for the first time, really loves his wife and doesn't care about her past at all.
The couple's life and career development after marriage are pretty good.
The couple Huo Jianhua and Ruby Lin are different.
Before they were together, Wallace Huo was the undisputed top star in the Chinese entertainment industry, with a large number of fans. He starred in famous TV series and movies such as "The Journey of Flower", "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", and "The Legend of Mi Yue", and he collaborated with top female stars.
Some time ago, the online hype about him and Brother Hu as a couple attracted countless fans. The movie "Reverse Time Rescue" that Yang Mi had mentioned to Gu Wei before finally asked Huo Jianhua to star in it. He is an absolute big star and is sought after by everyone from fans to producers.
However, since he announced his relationship with Ruby Lin, his fans disappeared in a very short time. He was not able to get any acting jobs for nearly three years afterwards, and his career plummeted.
In fact, Huo Jianhua has not had much negative news in the entertainment industry over the years, and he himself is very Buddhist, but he cannot withstand Lin Xinru's too much negative news and her reputation is too bad.
The most famous thing about her is the controversy between her and Zhou Jie. The two of them acted together in "Return of the Condor Heroes" and were a highly-watched screen couple.
But after the collaboration ended, Ruby Lin did not choose to live out her own life. Instead, she turned around and appeared on a variety show, strongly accusing Zhou Jie of kissing and sticking out her tongue, and deliberately taking advantage of her.
As soon as she said this, Zhou Jie became the target of public criticism. Not only did she suffer a lot of abuse, but her image was also damaged.
But at that time, Zhou Jie may have been thinking that less trouble is worse than more, so she did not refute it immediately.
Unexpectedly, the abuse against him became more and more intense, and Zhou Jie could no longer bear it and defended herself with earnest words.
He claimed that he has always acted with a professional attitude and has no extravagant thoughts.
As an actor, kissing scenes are part of your job and you can't be perfunctory about them. Moreover, so many actresses have performed kissing scenes and no one has come out to criticize them.
In the third part of Return of the Condor Heroes, Liu Tao, who played Princess Musha and had a kissing scene with Zhou Jie, had no complaints at all.
Later, everyone discovered that Ruby Lin was not just saying bad things about others, she was also unprofessional in acting and treated people differently based on their performance.
She is happy to play intimate scenes with handsome actors, but she is unwilling to do so if the actors' looks do not meet her aesthetic standards.
In short, Lin Xinru's various remarks and behaviors over the years have made her image and reputation become very bad. After being with her, Huo Jianhua was naturally implicated, and after marriage, his reputation also suffered along with his wife.
The two officially announced their relationship on May 20, got married in July, and had a child in January of the following year. Huo Jianhua's fans suspected that Ruby Lin was using the child to force Huo Jianhua to marry her, and Huo Jianhua himself was unwilling. The fact that the groom was photographed with a blank expression throughout their wedding was proof of this.
However, when Huo Jianhua was on the show later, he was asked by Jin Xing why he didn't smile at the wedding. His answer was that he didn't know how to take pictures, and he was not unhappy as netizens speculated.
What the truth is is just one-sided speculation of netizens, but it is true that Huo Jianhua's career collapsed after Huo Lin got married.
Speaking of the entertainment industry, some celebrities will receive blessings from fans when they officially announce their relationship or marriage, and it will have no impact on their careers, while for others it will have a huge impact on their careers.
It mainly depends on who your other half is. Huo Jianhua is not an exception. When Liu Haoran and Zhou Dongyu were together in the future, their popularity among the public was ruined overnight, and most of their fans ran away.
On the set, a khaki tank crashed through the wall and rushed into the factory area under the camera.
Several cameras captured the tanks rushing in from different angles.
Half a month after Wu Jing joined the crew, the filming of the "Tank Battle" scene in the later stage of the movie also began.
In the movie "Wolf Warrior 2", there are a lot of weapon combat scenes. In addition to some hand-held firearms, the most shocking scene is the scene at the end of the film where the protagonists and antagonists drive tanks.
Of course, these tanks cannot be real. They are 1:1 tank models made in advance by the crew. However, although they are models, each one weighs 20 tons and can actually be started. The inside and outside appearance are exactly the same as real tanks.
After an explosion scene was filmed, Gu Wei and Wu Jing were knocked away by the shock wave. Wu Jing fell on a pillar and bounced down, while Gu Wei fell directly onto the ruins. Both of them had blood and dust on their faces and looked very embarrassed.
After the shot was finished, a group of people from the crew quickly gathered around.
Gu Wei slowly stood up with the help of the staff and stretched his legs and feet. Apart from some pain in his back, he didn't feel anything serious.
On the other side, Wu Jing was in a bad condition. He was also being supported by someone, but he walked with a limp.
"Brother Jing, are you okay?"
Gu Wei looked at him and frowned.
Wu Jing forced a smile, but his face was covered in blood from props mixed with dust, which looked a little scary.
"It's okay. I twisted my foot when I fell to the ground. I'll be fine after a short rest."
"Where's the doctor, doctor!"
Gu Wei glanced at Wu Jing, turned around and shouted loudly.
Large crews like theirs with thousands of people are equipped with special doctors, just in case any external injuries occur during filming, they can be examined immediately.
After Gu Wei shouted, a doctor in a white coat and carrying a medicine box came trotting over.
"It's okay, I just twisted my ankle, it's nothing serious, I've gotten injured all sorts of times while filming."
Wu Jing felt that Gu Wei was making a fuss out of nothing.
The staff around him helped him sit on a chair.
"Don't take it lightly. It's best to see a doctor to nip it in the bud, so it doesn't get worse and affect the filming!"
When Wu Jing heard Gu Wei talking about filming, he stopped talking.
After the doctor arrived, Wu Jing took off the shoe on his sprained foot and saw a big swelling on his ankle.
"Fortunately, no bones were injured. As long as I rest for two days and don't do strenuous exercise, and apply some topical medicine, I'll be able to heal quickly."
The doctor took a closer look and made a judgment.
"How can that be possible? These past two days are the most intense period for filming. How much would it cost to delay a day?
Doctor, could you think of a way, like wrapping it up with a bandage to make it less painful, and then I can slowly recover after I finish filming this scene?"
After hearing Wu Jing's words, the doctor squatting on the ground looked embarrassed.
“Nonsense!
Just rest if you are injured, otherwise what if it gets serious later?
Brother Jing, listen to me. For the next two days, I'll just be directing. Your role will be moved to the back. At worst, we can extend the filming period. I'll cover the difference!"
If Gu Wei hadn't been there, Wu Jing would definitely have been the one having the final say on the set, and the doctor might have actually done what he asked in the end.
But Gu Wei is here and he can't do anything wrong.
No matter how important making a movie is, it is not as important as your health.
After hearing what Gu Wei said, the doctor looked at Wu Jing again.
"Okay, then let's do as my brother said. Doctor, please help me deal with it. I will take a rest for the next two days and not shoot any movies, just direct."
Wu Jing looked at Gu Wei's insistent face and had no choice but to compromise. He also knew that Gu Wei was doing this for his own good.
After a while, Gu Wei walked out of the set to rest.
"What happened? I saw a group of people gathered inside and a doctor ran over. Is someone injured?"
Zhang Tianai had no scenes today, but she still came to the set like she did every day and stayed in the rest area, waiting for Gu Wei to finish filming and come over.
"It's okay, Brother Jing just twisted his ankle while filming a scene."
Gu Wei brushed off the dirt on his body and sat on the chair.
"Is it serious?"
"Fortunately, the doctor said there were no broken bones, but I can't walk well. I need to rest for a few days to recover."
Zhang Tianai frowned after hearing this.
"You have to be careful too. This movie has so many action scenes, so if you can use a body double, use one. Don't get hurt."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine with my skills."
Gu Wei replied indifferently.
The next day, the crew started work as usual.
However, Wu Jing was unable to film and had to sit behind the monitor the entire time, acting as a real director.
The main shots are on Gu Wei, and he is in almost all the scenes from morning to night.
The last show of the morning.
"Crack! Okay, we're done. Let's all take a break and have lunch."
Wu Jing's voice came from the loudspeaker.
At this time, a lady wearing casual clothes, short hair to her shoulders and wearing big sunglasses entered the shooting site and walked towards Wu Jing.
Walk up to it.
"Hey, wife, why are you here?"
Wu Jing looked at the person who came and asked in surprise.
It turned out that Xie Nan had arrived.
"If Gu Wei hadn't called me last night and told me you were injured while filming, I would still be in the dark. Why didn't you tell me you were injured?"
Xie Nan walked up to Wu Jing, patted him lightly, and complained with a bad look on his face.
"Hehe, wife, this is just a minor injury. The doctor said it will be fine after a few days of rest. There's no need to make a fuss. Gu Wei is such a scoundrel. He actually reported me!"
Wu Jing said with a grin while holding Xie Nan's hand.
Xie Nan frowned and looked at Wu Jing who was still sitting in the chair.
"You can't even stand up now?"
"Um~ My foot is pretty swollen right now. The doctor said it's normal and has applied some medicine. As long as I take good care of it, the swelling will go away in 3-5 days.
Then everything will be fine.”
"Okay then. I'll take care of you on the set these few days. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for you to do anything alone."
Xie Nan made the final decision.
From a distance, Gu Wei watched Xie Nan standing in front of Wu Jing and lecturing with a serious face. Wu Jing just nodded continuously like a primary school student seeing his teacher.
He couldn't help but smile, which happened to be seen by Wu Jing, who glared at Gu Wei.
With Xie Nan on the crew, Wu Jing had someone to take care of his daily life and diet from morning to night. In less than a week, the injury on his foot was almost healed.
The swelling on his ankle has gone down, but it still hurts a little when he walks normally. However, it no longer affects the filming, and Wu Jing can completely tolerate this problem.
After the doctor gave him a final check and said that he was fine, Xie Nan felt relieved and let him start filming. She then left the crew. She also had her own work, and if she hadn't been worried about Wu Jing's health, she wouldn't have put everything aside to come and take care of him.
Wu Jing, who had been sitting in the director's chair for a week, was a little bored. After joining the filming, he seemed to have endless energy.
In order to make up for the progress he had fallen behind, he took the initiative to increase his daily roles a lot.
Just like that, at the beginning of June, with the completion of the last shot, all the scenes at the Zhaochuan Iron and Steel Plant were finished.
The crew began to pack up and prepare to move to the Huairou Film and Television Base in Beijing.
"Do you think this steel mill will resume production in the future?"
While the crew was packing up, Zhang Tianai looked at the former director of Zhaochuan Iron and Steel Plant who was communicating with the staff and asked.
"That's impossible. I've had a few conversations with Director Sun before. The facilities at their steel mill are too old. If they want to resume production, they'll have to completely replace everything with new ones. It would be better to rebuild somewhere else."
After saying that, Gu Wei looked at the many extras who were queuing up to pay.
"We came here to film, and we paid over 1 million yuan for the rent of this place, hired local extras, and spent almost 5 million yuan on food, accommodation, etc.
If the movie becomes a hit, this old steel mill will become a new tourist attraction, and the money it makes might be even greater than from producing steel."
