Chapter 279: Paparazzi Again
“Cut!”
Du Qian shouted loudly.
The film has finally been completed.
The filming is not done according to the order of the script, but all scenes are shot on one set before moving to the next.
The last scene of "The Hitman's Bodyguard" was filmed in a hotel. It was the scene where Feng Wei chased after him. This scene was also the most difficult to shoot. There were not only gun battles, but also various intense fights.
In this scene, there is still one actor and three new actors: William, Ren Xiwen and Zou Xianhai.
Ren Xiwen plays the arrogant and vicious villain Feng Wei, while Zou Xianhai plays Feng San's senior brother Hu Da.
The newcomers had little acting experience and kept making NGs, which resulted in the filming lasting all night and not finishing the scene until the next morning.
Hu Xiaoxiao was exhausted. While the others could rest, she spent the entire night filming, especially the fight scenes. She had to slide down the stairs six or seven times because the actors she was filming with kept making mistakes.
Fortunately, the filming was finally completed.
Hu Xiaoxiao rubbed his feet. When he jumped from the third floor, he was too tired and didn't pay attention for a moment, so he twisted his foot.
William was the first person to notice that something was wrong with Hu Xiaoxiao. Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao walking on tiptoe, he hurried over to support her. "Ms. Hu, I'll take you to the hospital."
In this scene, Hu Xiaoxiao tried her best, performing various difficult and dangerous actions, such as sliding down the stairs, jumping from various heights, and taking into account aerial movements. Several of her falls were real falls, and William was always worried about her.
Hu Xiaoxiao was indeed feeling uncomfortable, but the filming had just ended, so she didn't have to endure it. She found a chair to sit down, rolled up her trouser legs, and found that her feet were swollen.
"We can't wait any longer, I'll take you to the hospital right away." William stood up and wanted to help Hu Xiaoxiao up, but her foot was injured and it was better not to leave.
Zou Xianhai came over and saw it, and said, "The crew has a stretcher. Why don't you let Miss Hu lie down and we'll carry her away."
Accidents are most likely to happen when filming action movies, so the crew is very well prepared. In addition to medicine, stretchers are also available in case of emergency.
William thought it was a good idea, so he brought a stretcher and let Hu Xiaoxiao lie on it.
Hu Xiaoxiao didn't act pretentiously and just lay down. His clothes were stained with blood plasma, and he didn't bother to change them at this time. Instead, he said to Zou Xianhai, "You fell several times just now. Come with me to the hospital for a check-up. Also, ask the other actors in the crew. If anyone is injured, let's go to the hospital together. The crew will reimburse all medical expenses, and we will also provide nutrition allowances."
Zou Xianhai also worked very hard during the filming. He cherished this opportunity very much. As long as he could appear on the camera, he would not hesitate to do any action, no matter how difficult it was. It can be said that he was the most hardworking one except Hu Xiaoxiao.
Zou Xianhai originally thought he could save some money and bear it, but when he heard Hu Xiaoxiao said that he would reimburse the money, including nutrition expenses, he stopped pretending, touched his chest, smiled innocently and said, "I think I really fell, and my ribs hurt a little."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked him to call all the injured people and go for a check-up together.
Some actors in the crew were packing up their things. Hu Xiaoxiao waited for a while and was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the stretcher.
William felt distressed and asked someone to carry Hu Xiaoxiao to the hospital first. Ren Xiwen came over and whispered, "I'll do it! I'll do it! Xianhai is injured and it's not suitable to use force. Let me carry him."
They lifted her up carefully, trying not to wake Hu Xiaoxiao and let her sleep a little longer.
Dong Peiyu arrived at the crew. Thinking that Hu Xiaoxiao was tired after a night of driving, she came to pick him up and take him home. However, as soon as she got out of the car, she saw Hu Xiaoxiao being carried out on a stretcher, covered in blood and unconscious. Her face turned pale with fear.
"Xiaoxiao! Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you? How could this happen? What happened? Why is Xiaoxiao so badly injured? Why is she covered in blood? How did you film the scene? How could she be so badly injured?"
Dong Peiyu rushed over, wanting to touch Hu Xiaoxiao, but she didn't dare, and tears fell from her eyes in anxiety.
Hu Xiaoxiao was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by Dong Peiyu's scream. She opened her sleepy eyes and saw from her perspective that a paparazzi was sneaking up on her, hiding aside with a camera and taking pictures of her.
Her mind raced, and when she met Dong Peiyu's sorrowful eyes, she blinked, then closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Dong Peiyu was in deep sorrow when she suddenly saw Hu Xiaoxiao winking at her playfully. She was stunned for a moment, then looked to the side and back as if she had a telepathic connection, and saw the paparazzi who had taken countless photos.
She thought for a moment, wiped away her tears, quickly helped Hu Xiaoxiao into the car, and quietly asked William what was going on.
Because at this moment, Hu Xiaoxiao fell asleep again.
William comforted her and said, "It's okay, Sister Dong, Miss Hu just twisted her foot. But she also fell and bumped other places, so we think we should go to the hospital for a check-up."
Dong Peiyu also realized that the blood on Hu Xiaoxiao's clothes was plasma used for filming, not human blood. "I was really scared."
It's no wonder she was scared. She had seen Hu Xiaoxiao filming and he really worked so hard. She was really afraid that Hu Xiaoxiao would risk his life to make a good movie.
Dong Peiyu urged the car to drive faster, fearing that if the fall caused internal bleeding or something, it would be a serious accident if not dealt with quickly.
The car drove quickly towards the hospital.
The paparazzi who were waiting outside the Jinjing Building captured the car leaving quickly, and then captured more than a dozen actors with blood on their bodies coming out from the back. They all got in the car and went to the hospital together.
"Something big has happened!" The paparazzi excitedly pressed the shutter button again and again.
He had been squatting there for several days, originally intending to take some ambiguous photos of Hu Xiaoxiao and William, but he didn't expect to get this unexpected surprise.
Hu Xiaoxiao was carried out covered in blood, unconscious. The car rushed to the hospital, and it was clear at a glance that something serious had happened!
After losing so much blood, he will lose half his life even if he doesn’t die!
The paparazzi quickly drove after them and, after learning which hospital they were going to, snapped a few photos and rushed back to the newspaper office to hand them in. Afterwards, the dedicated paparazzi took his camera to the hospital again and inquired about Hu Xiaoxiao's condition, so he could get firsthand information and be the first to report on it.
When Hu Xiaoxiao was sent to the hospital, the doctor was shocked to see that he was covered in blood. Only after Dong Peiyu explained that it was blood plasma used as a prop for filming did he not call for emergency treatment.
But the doctor saw that Hu Xiaoxiao's foot was severely swollen. After examining it, he said, "Go get an X-ray. It's probably a fracture."
"Is it so serious?" Dong Peiyu was shocked and immediately told the doctor that Hu Xiaoxiao had fallen several times and asked the doctor to give her a full body examination.
Hu Xiaoxiao was awakened by the pain during the doctor's examination. When he was pushed to take an X-ray, he asked Dong Peiyu to give the other actors a full-body examination as well, and all of it would be paid for at the company's expense.
