Chapter 122
Blake and Adonis have a fight scene.
To be precise, it is the fight scene between Blake, Adonis and the male lead.
Blake, who had always wanted to get rid of Adonis, ran into Adonis while conducting a secret transaction one day and decided to kill him.
The process of the dispute was seen by the male protagonist. When he found that the person lying at Blake's feet was the female protagonist, he immediately jumped out. At the same time, Adonis was stabbed by a sharp blade, and then the male protagonist knocked Blake to the ground.
This is the scene they are going to shoot tonight.
"The move is like this. Adonis walks over there and runs into Blake's transaction scene, and then Blake secretly takes out the knife he carries with him." Director Frank gestured.
The transaction was not an ordinary transaction. For a long time, Blake had been pawning people or selling them as undocumented laborers to traffickers, who were actually selling their organs and making a profit from it.
The young woman that made him feel dizzy today happened to be the heroine who was going to date the hero.
When Adonis saw the familiar figure, he thought of Blake's evil deeds that were allowed to happen by the casino owner, and immediately planned to save her.
"The knife is a prop, don't worry about it."
Frank took out the prop knife, a short one with a simulated blade that reflected metallic light like a real knife. It was actually soft and could be stretched or retracted by pressing with the fingertips.
He even tried it with Darren next to him, poking him twice and throwing it back to him, "Look, it's okay anyway."
Darren jumped back in surprise.
Then he handed the knife to Park Jiahui and raised his eyebrows, "Here."
Park Jiahui played with the knife for a while and nodded.
Frank said, "Hui, remember to use force when the time comes. Don't show mercy. I need a strong force."
Park Jiahui smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I will definitely not show mercy."
The pair of light-colored eyes revealed a sly smile as he turned to Li Pu and said, "Teacher Li, I'm sorry."
"He's not going to play any tricks again this time, is he?" Seeing Park Jiahui walking towards his position, Darren couldn't help but walk to Li Pu's side, "You better be careful."
Li Pu stared at the knife in Park Jiahui's hand for a moment and nodded, "Yeah."
The shooting has begun.
The leather shoes stepped on the silent and deserted yard, making a rustling sound. The red-haired girl lost consciousness and fell to the ground. Soon, she would become an empty shell.
Blake was discussing with the contact how much a young girl could be sold for when he heard footsteps behind him. He turned his head warily and saw the man he hated so much.
After a few warnings, Adonis saw that Blake refused to repent, so he took action.
The casino was brightly lit, and there was enough light even in such a secluded place. The camera followed the fight between the two men and watched Blake stab the knife into Adonis' abdomen.
Adonis stood still, covering the wound, but the color between his fingers was not what the director wanted.
"Frank, this knife seems to be broken." Park Jiahui was the first to NG and held up the crooked prop.
There was a blood bag in Li Pho's vest.
If you poke hard, even a fake knife can pierce the bag.
But the props are broken.
Frank sighed and said he was unlucky, and motioned for the prop teacher to bring over a box of prop knives.
Darren looked at the knife in Park Jiahui's hand suspiciously and waved, "Let me see it."
Park Jiahui handed it over without resistance, "Here you go."
The props were made one by one by the prop teacher, but they were inexplicably crooked.
Darren looked at it for a while but had no idea, so he threw the broken knife into the box.
Then the second time started.
The second knife went askew in another direction, and Park Jiahui inserted it in the wrong place.
"I'm sorry." The man apologized sincerely and took down the prop that had stabbed Li Pu's chest. "I didn't pay attention."
Li Pu glanced at him with a cold look, "It's okay."
Frank is very demanding about fighting scenes. He doesn't like to see two adults fighting like children on the screen. Even if it's a short scene, he wants it to be perfect. Fortunately, Lai Pho and Park Jiahui both have experience in shooting fighting scenes.
"Well, our luck is not good tonight, let's try again." Frank said, "It looks like we may have to shoot all night."
The actors didn't comment, but in "Casino", there are fewer daytime scenes anyway.
After that, they re-shot it twice. There were no problems with these two times, but the effect was not as ideal. Frank decided to try it one last time.
"Come on, don't let Nitia lie on the ground for too long, she's going to catch a cold."
Everyone at the scene burst into laughter.
It was already late at night, and everyone was relaxed. They yawned lazily and calculated when they could go back to sleep. │
That's when accidents happen.
The blade flashed with a subtle difference from the previous one. Li Pu's face froze. He was stabbed by the sword as he reacted. He clenched his hand and made a completely different move from the plan. At the same time, Darren rushed up and pressed Park Jiahui to the ground.
The bloody dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Frank slapped his thigh and shouted, "Li, what happened?"
Li Pu clenched his palms, and blood gushed out from the cuts, soon dripping onto the ground.
"There's something wrong with the prop," he said.
This is a serious accident.
Park Jiahui's expression was more shocked than the others. "How could a real knife appear?" He held his dislocated arm, suppressing his pain. "There must be something wrong."
Darren and Nitia looked at each other in bewilderment. Darren in particular had a distorted expression. “Are you… okay?”
Medical personnel have arrived on the scene, and Frank has sent out a message to gather everyone in the crew.
"I can't believe this happened right under my nose." Frank narrowed his eyes. "Does anyone think this was just an accident?"
No one answered.
"Very good, it seems I was underestimated." Frank stared at the crowd in front of him, "Whoever did this, I will find you out and make you pay the price."
"Mr. Frank! Come quickly." The medical staff shouted, and Frank quickly pushed away the crowd. He saw that under Li Pho's vest, the side of his pure white shirt had been stained mostly red.
…
When Bai Gaoxing arrived, he saw Li Pho sitting on a chair, holding a blood-stained bandage in his right hand, and the ground was covered in blood.
The doctor at the side tried to bandage him with a brand new bandage, and the pungent smell of disinfectant filled the air.
Bai Gaoxing's mind went blank when he first heard the news, and he thought about countless possibilities on the way here. He never expected to see such a scene.
"Li Pu..." He squeezed through the crowd and stared at Li Pu's bloody body in shock. He felt his hands and feet go weak.
All thoughts of staying away from Li Pu and controlling his emotions disappeared at this moment. Bai Gaoxing ran to the man, wanting to touch him but not daring to, so he turned around and asked others: "What happened? Did you call an ambulance?"
His voice was shaking.
This scene was too terrifying. The person who was by his side one moment might be far away from him the next moment... He didn't want to experience this again.
Li Pho saw Bai Gaoxing's panic, and he moved and said to him, "I'm fine."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Bai Gaoxing suppressed his voice, almost crying, "So much blood, so much blood..."
"Hey - Bai, you're too nervous, can you relax for a while?" Darren grabbed Bai Gaoxing's shoulders from behind and patted him hard, "This is not Li's blood."
"...No?" Bai Gaoxing was a little confused as his brain couldn't react for a moment.
Darren coughed and said, "This is a blood bag."
Bai Gaoxing nodded blankly and was pulled aside by Darren, but his eyes were still fixed on Li Pu.
Then, Bai Gaoxing heard a cry of pain from the other side. He turned around and saw Pu Jiahui having his arm examined. "What happened to him?"
Darren touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "I called him."
The moment he discovered the problem, he rushed out, pinned the man down and controlled his arm, but he didn't expect that he used too much force.
Of course... I can't say there is no revenge intention. But what if the other party is really innocent?
Darren coughed again. "Anyway, there was a problem with the props. The director is investigating."
Soon, Li Pho's hand was bandaged.
A thick bandage was wrapped around it, almost covering all of the fingers.
The situation was even more tragic, with blood-stained alcohol cotton and spilled medicine all over, combined with oxidized bloodstains, it was shocking to the eyes.
"Okay, everyone!" the director yelled, frightening Bai Gaoxing.
Frank quickly tried to comfort him with a smile, then turned around and regained his coolness: "If you take the initiative to stand up now, I can let it die with dignity. Has anyone of you touched the box?"
People began to whisper.
The people in the props group were the most horrified. "I clearly remember that the box was full of props. The real swords used to make models had already been taken out..."
The set suddenly became noisy, and Frank took advantage of the chaos to say happily, "You guys go back and rest first."
He also waved to Darren, Nitia and Park Jiahui, "You too, go back."
"We?" Darren was puzzled and said in a long tone, "Except for Li, no one here was injured. What if... the real culprit is missed?"
He seemed to be hinting at something.
Park Jiahui's arm has been reattached, and it is not convenient for him to move for the time being. He smiled and said, "I know you have opinions about me, but this matter is really not about me. Would the murderer set up a trap in his own drama? Oh, by the way, we Chinese also have a very classic saying, called..."
Park Jiahui's light-colored eyes slightly curved, and her gaze turned to the man whose right hand was tightly wrapped.
"The thief cries thief."
…
Bai Gaoxing did not participate in what happened afterwards.
He took Li Pho back to the hotel and watched the medical staff apply medicine to the wound on the man's left abdomen, put a bandage on it, and instructed him to change it every day. Then he sat quietly by the bed in a daze.
There are two wounds. Fortunately, the one on the abdomen was covered with blood and was not very deep. The one that needs attention is the one on the right hand. If it was a little deeper, it would need to be sutured.
Bai Gaoxing was staring at Li Pu's waist and abdomen. The abdominal muscles that were usually hidden by clothes had smooth and full contours, but now they were blocked by a large piece of gauze, making them look particularly miserable.
After a while, he raised his head and asked, "What's going on?"
Li Pho briefly recounted what happened at that time.
"The prop knife is broken?" Bai Gaoxing was suspicious, "How could it be such a coincidence?"
"What a coincidence." Li Pu looked at the young man looking at him eagerly and couldn't help but smile. He stretched out his hand to touch the soft hair, but when he saw his hands were wrapped like dumplings, he retracted the action.
There is no wall that is impenetrable, and the news of Li Pho's injury was quickly spread online.
Fans who learned of the situation were anxious and asked questions frantically, and received an official response from Star Entertainment and an apology from the "Casino" crew.
"…We are very sorry that Mr. Li Pu had such an accident. We will definitely find out the truth as soon as possible and give an explanation to Mr. Li and everyone else."
In order to reassure fans and to stop the increasingly widespread rumors on the Internet from "Le Pho's hand was injured" to "Le Pho's hand was broken", Mei Youshu found some time to take a photo of his daily life to reassure everyone.
In the photo, Li Pho is sitting at the table, holding a spoon in his left hand, with his right palm tightly wrapped; the white-haired boy sitting opposite him picks up the food with chopsticks and puts it to the man's mouth in an urgent manner.
It's obviously a candid shot.
Because in the next photo, the boy was already sitting next to the man, smiling slightly.
Damn! How come we can get this?
CP fans were screaming and celebrating, leaving messages wishing Teacher Li a speedy recovery.
"I heard... Teacher Li was injured when he was acting opposite Teacher Park?" said a netizen who knows the inside story.
"Ah, is Mr. Park okay?"
"Probably not. Mr. Park has always been lucky." His acting career has been smooth, especially compared to those who have been on shows or in drama crews with him.
Not long after, Park Jiahui also posted on Weibo, saying that he was fine and hoped that the crew could handle the matter as soon as possible. His fans saw his injured selfie and immediately felt sympathy for him.
The crew has suspended filming.
"I don't think it's such a coincidence..." Bai Gaoxing saw Pu Jiahui's Weibo and immediately planned his own camp.
The doctor came to change the dressing for Li Phou and said there were no signs of inflammation or pus formation and that he was recovering well. He just had to remember not to get his wound wet.
This is also the reason why he fed Li Pu. Not only did he feed him, he also washed his hands and face, and dressed him...
Bai Gaoxing held his chin in his hand, feeling a little depressed. He had clearly planned to draw a clear line between himself and Li Pu, but after this incident, he lost his composure.
As his mind wandered, he subconsciously stretched out his fingers and touched the wounds on Li Pu's waist and abdomen again and again.
The muscles under his hands suddenly tensed, contracting into beautiful muscle lines.
"Dabai." Li Pu's voice was particularly low.
Without hearing the next sentence, Bai Gaoxing looked at Li Pu in confusion. Then he suddenly realized what was going on and stood up. "I'll pour you a glass of water."
Where is he touching?
Bai Gaoxing's ears were red as blood, and he silently blamed himself.
In the blink of an eye, it was night again.
In the dim night, Bai Gaoxing closed his eyes, listened to the person next to him tossing and turning, then stood up and turned on the bedside lamp.
"…did it wake you up?"
Li Pu looked at him with a hint of apology in his tone.
Bai Gaoxing felt a little uncomfortable, shook his head, and asked softly: "Would you like some water?"
After getting a positive answer, he went to get a glass of water in his slippers and walked to Li Pu's bed.
"Does it hurt a lot?" Bai Gaoxing had seen the wound when he was changing the dressing. Since it had stopped bleeding, it didn't look that scary, but it was still very painful.
Li Pu wanted to say that it actually didn't hurt that much anymore, he just couldn't sleep because he was thinking about the boy next to him.
but……
"Yeah, it hurts."
The man lowered his eyes, and under the soft light, there was a vague smile in his eyes.
