On set.
Su Zhengnan, dressed in a white coat, walked into the frame alongside the actors playing the hospital director and the hospital's head.
Then, Su Zhengnan stepped forward, glanced at the patient's condition, and then recited his lines to the main actors:
"Wait, the patient's condition doesn't allow for defibrillation. Let's move him directly to the emergency room for surgery!"
"Who are you??"
The male lead looked up at the character played by Su Zhengnan, and asked with a hint of doubt.
Then, the actor who played the hospital director stepped forward and introduced the identity of Su Zhengnan's character, who was nothing more than an expert doctor who had returned from studying abroad at a major hospital.
Although he looks young, he has exceptionally high medical skills.
This is Su Zhengnan's character design in this drama.
Soon, the patient lying on the hospital bed was wheeled into the emergency room.
In front of the camera, a group of actors playing nurses quickly prepared surgical instruments, while others surrounded the bedside, closely observing the patient's vital signs.
"OK, cut, that shot is done, get ready for the next shot."
Director Xu Dadong stood behind the camera, looked around, picked up his megaphone, and shouted to the set.
Although Su Zhengnan almost walked out of the frame several times during filming.
Fortunately, Xu Dadong had extensive filming experience, so the first shot featuring him was completed without any retakes, which was considered a success.
However, we can't keep filming like this forever.
So Xu Dadong called Su Zhengnan over and said to him, "Dr. Su, take a look at the footage you just filmed. I don't think there's a big problem with your performance, after all, it's just a natural performance!"
"However, in addition to acting out the plot, you also need to pay attention to your positioning during filming. When you are needed, please don't run off-camera."
As he spoke, Xu Dadong taught Su Zhengnan how to move around during filming.
This way, you can better capture the feeling of the person in the shot, instead of the camera following you around, which can easily lead to mistakes.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Director Xu."
Su Zhengnan smiled and thanked him.
Filming then continued on site.
With Director Xu's guidance, Su Zhengnan's sense of camera presence improved significantly, and the filming went relatively smoothly.
Although there are occasional NG (no good) situations.
But for someone who has never acted before, this is already quite good.
"Okay, good expression, this take is approved!"
Xu Dadong sat behind the camera, holding a megaphone and looking very happy.
Another shot has passed.
The filming is progressing much faster than he expected, so it looks like we can wrap up early today.
Soon, the morning's filming came to an end!
Su Zhengnan and the others did not remove their makeup during lunch because they had to continue filming in the afternoon.
After lunch, everyone took a short rest before continuing their filming work.
In the afternoon, Su Zhengnan performed even better than before. He not only perfectly demonstrated the professional qualities of a doctor, but also conveyed emotions.
As time went on, filming gradually came to an end.
However.
It was at this moment.
The actor, who was lying in the hospital bed playing the role of a patient, suddenly rolled his eyes and his mouth began to twitch uncontrollably, making him look like he had suffered a stroke.
The actor playing the patient is quite old, probably over fifty.
What's going on here?
This scene wasn't in the script!
Director Xu Dadong, sitting behind the camera, was momentarily stunned. He then grabbed a megaphone and shouted into the studio:
"Cut! What's going on here? What's wrong with that extra? Let's go check it out!"
Instantly, several crew members rushed forward to check on the actor, only to find that his facial expression looked very strange.
With a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, he looked a bit like he had suffered a stroke.
At first, everyone thought the other person was faking it, but after calling out for a long time, the other person was still lying on the hospital bed with a crooked mouth and eyes, not saying a word.
This immediately alarmed the staff present.
"What happened? Could he have really had a stroke?"
"Could this be possession? It was perfectly fine just now, how could it suddenly turn into this?"
"I don't know, it was fine just now!"
"Is it because I'm too old?"
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and call the real doctor downstairs to come and take a look at him!"
The production assistant turned and yelled at the staff member next to him.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
The staff member snapped out of his daze, responded, and then hurriedly ran out to find a doctor.
In an instant, the entire crew was alarmed.
Xu Dadong stepped forward, looked at it, scratched his head, and asked the assistant director beside him:
"Could he really have had a stroke? We even prayed to the gods before filming started, how could this suddenly happen? If something bad happens, will we still be able to film the rest of the scenes?!"
Xu Dadong felt extremely frustrated at this moment, as this was the first time he had encountered an actor suddenly falling ill while filming.
The assistant director shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't know either. When we were casting extras, there were no medical exams or anything, and this actor is quite old..."
"Please make way, everyone, let me see what's wrong with him!"
Su Zhengnan pushed through the crowd and walked over. After glancing at the actor's condition, he grabbed the actor's wrist and began to take his pulse.
Upon seeing Su Zhengnan taking his pulse, Xu Dadong felt as if he had seen a savior.
Although this is a hospital, nothing should happen here.
But with this sudden turn of events, Xu Dadong momentarily forgot about the matter and could only think that Su Zhengnan seemed to be a real doctor who could probably help in this emergency.
After taking the patient's pulse and examining their tongue coating, Su Zhengnan quickly diagnosed the patient's illness.
The actor's pulse was wiry and rapid, and his tongue was red and dark red with a yellow coating, which is a typical symptom of wind and fire disturbing the upper body.
As the saying goes: Liver stagnation transforms into fire, Yang excess stirs up wind, wind and fire fan each other, Qi and blood become disordered, and rush straight to the brain.
This condition should be treated primarily by calming the liver and extinguishing wind, clearing heat and purging fire.
To put it simply, it's a stroke.
As for why the other person suddenly fell ill, it is probably related to his daily diet, or perhaps to the boxed lunch he ate at noon today.
If he remembers correctly.
Did the lunch the crew ate at noon before include pork liver?
For older people, high cholesterol levels can lead to arteriosclerosis and increase the risk of stroke if they eat too much pork liver.
Thinking of this, Su Zhengnan turned to the production assistant beside him and said:
"Excuse me, could you please get the silver needles from my clothes? I need to give him acupuncture."
"ah?"
The production assistant was taken aback, unsure whether to listen to Su Zhengnan, and turned to look at the director beside him.
Xu Dadong waved at him and said, "Just go get it when I tell you to. Dr. Su is a legitimate doctor."
"Okay, sure."
Upon hearing this, the production assistant nodded in agreement and then hurriedly ran towards the dressing room.
Not long after.
The production assistant found a set of silver needles among the clothes Su Zhengnan had changed out of and hurriedly handed them to him.
Su Zhengnan took the silver needles and immediately began inserting them.
The actor in front of us suffered a stroke and hemiplegia due to wind and fire disturbing the mind, resulting in a sudden onset of hemiplegia.
In this case, the main treatment should be to calm the liver and extinguish wind, clear heat and purge fire.
The Acupuncture and Moxibustion Classic states: "Xuanzhong acupoint, also known as Juegu, belongs to the Gallbladder Meridian of Foot Shaoyang. This acupoint is located on the lateral malleolus, which is the place where children used to hang ankle bells in ancient times, hence the name Xuanzhong."
Therefore, the primary acupuncture point selected for acupuncture is Xuanzhong (GB20), with Hegu (LI4), Taichong (LR3), and Zusanli (ST36) as secondary points.
The Xuanzhong acupoint has the effects of calming the liver and extinguishing wind, soothing the liver and benefiting the kidneys.
The other three acupoints have the functions of calming the liver and suppressing yang, reducing fire and extinguishing wind.
Furthermore, there are specific techniques for acupuncture to treat this type of stroke symptom.
Acupuncture must be performed using the method of purging; otherwise, it will be impossible to help the patient clear heat, purge fire, calm the liver, and extinguish wind.
