In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

Qi Xiaolei talked about many accidents on the set that he and the crew witnessed...

Generally speaking, the crew of any action scenes have to set aside a certain amount of money to prepare for serious injury or death.

Things like overturned cars, explosions, horses dragging people, jumping out of cars and falling down, legs being run over by the wheels of armored vehicles...

A common thing!

"I once saw a martial arts stunt that was about three stories high. The crew was lazy and didn't have a dedicated stunt master, so they just hired a group of extras to do the stunt."

"Extra?"

"Yes!" Qi Xiaolei continued: "How do the extras know how to play Wia? They couldn't hold it back at all, so Wu Xing fell straight down the building and his neck was broken at 45 degrees."

Shen Xudong swallowed: "Then what?"

"Then? The production and director sat together for a meeting, and the crew disbanded on the spot!"

"Then...how can Wu Xing's family ask for an explanation?"

"How would I know?"

"Just disbanded like this? Just let it go?"

Qi Xiaolei explained: "The reason for the disbandment is not to leave it alone. Everything will be reported as an accident and the money will still be compensated. However, on the one hand, losing this money will affect the flow of funds. On the other hand, family members will definitely come to make trouble in the future. The disbandment is because the crew is just burning money if it continues." , also to prevent the family members from finding the responsible person and not asking for more compensation. Everything has been compensated according to the procedures..."

Shen Xudong frowned: "It's a life!"

"...With millions of investments, what does one life mean?"

"You can't say that...how can you put a price on human life?"

Qi Xiaolei didn't want to discuss this, and continued: "The most terrifying thing is the explosion scene..."

"blasting?"

"I passed by once, and I was taking a close-up shot. I was just looking at the camera. I didn't pay attention to my feet. I stepped on it and it exploded. A gasoline bomb and a fireball set me on fire. Fortunately, I was wearing thick clothes and carrying Cotton hat and mask, no burns.”

"And then?"

Qi Xiaolei smiled bitterly and said: "Seeing that I was on fire, all the extras, martial artists, and camera assistants around me came to put out the fire for me. The way they put out the fire was very simple, just kicking them. How about I didn't get burned by the fire? I was kicked hard by them, and then a field man rushed over with a shovel, scaring me half to death. I thought he was going to hit me with the shovel, but the fire had been stamped out, but he was still persistent. A shovelful of loess was shoveled all over me, and it was all inside my clothes."

"…Ha ha…"

Shen Xudong couldn't help but laugh out loud. He thought of the scene where the Supreme Treasure was burned - cut it, it's all burnt; if it's a little crispy, it's better than nothing!

Qi Xiaolei: "I'm lucky, after all, nothing happened!"

"Which play is it?"

""The Years of Burning Passion"..."

"The blasting team of "The Burning Years of Passion" seems to be led by master Zhang Baoying. Zhang Baoying is from the Bayi Factory..."

"No matter how professional the master is, he still has to ask his apprentices to perform... So what can you do if you encounter someone who is sloppy?"

Qi Xiaolei rolled his eyes at him: "In the past, when filming in state-owned factories, there was a quota for death!"

This is true. The shooting conditions at that time were backward and safety measures could not keep up. Moreover, at that time, film and television drama shooting was treated as factory production, and factory production naturally had safety indicators.

There are safety indicators, and naturally there are also obsolescence indicators...

"I wanted to be a war photographer before, but after that incident, I simply changed careers..."

…

It’s true, many mainland production crews are very wild.

Huang Qiu-sheng criticized the mainland crew for being unprofessional, and they were indeed unprofessional. Take "The Secret History of Concubine Yang" in which he starred, for example. There was a scene where Yang Yuhuan was a child, and the crew caught fire. The actor who played Yang Yuhuan was still trapped in the room at that time. Inside, Xie Junhao rushed in to rescue the little girl. His face was severely burned. Fortunately, the skin grafting was successful and the recovery was successful.

There is another example. When Yu Haoming and Selina were filming the blasting scene in "I Have a Date with Spring", the blaster miscalculated and blasted ahead of time, resulting in Selina being severely burned and Yu Haoming also being injured to varying degrees...

These are all lessons!

Shen Xudong wrote all these in "Notes on Group Follow-up"...

…

"Hey, you were invited by Zhang Jizhong?"

"Yes, senior sister..."

From the crew of "Dragon", Shen Xudong is chatting with Chen Hao...

Azi, played by Chen Hao, is Shen Xudong’s real senior sister, a 97-level acting major in China National Opera...

Shen Xudong is actually quite curious, why does Chen Hao want to play Azi?

It’s not that she isn’t beautiful, but she is too old!

Azi, Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling, and Wang Yuyan are about the same age, but 19-year-old Jiang Xin, 16-year-old Liu Yifei, including 22-year-old Yang Rui...

Why bother?

Chen Hao is 25 this year!

Her appearance is obviously mature...

Moreover, it has become popular with the heartthrob in "Pink Lady"...

Azi is not a good character.

Don't understand.

Shen Xudong asked his senior sister, Chen Hao said: "What do you know? Actors have to challenge themselves! Are you optimistic about it?"

"But senior sister is so beautiful. Azi is a yellow-haired girl who follows Qiao Feng. I can't take her place!"

"You're pretty good at talking!"

"No, I'm telling the truth!"

From then on, Chen Hao came to talk to Shen Xudong when he was free...

It's really nonsense. For example, now, Chen Hao asked Shen Xudong: "I read your "No. 1 in the World". It was well written and very dramatic..."

"It's useless, Zhang Jizhong doesn't like it!"

"...Then what have you thought about? It would be a pity not to adapt such a good novel into a TV series!"

"If I have any ideas, I know a producer named Zhang Jizhong..."

"...Would you like Senior Sister to introduce me to you?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "No, I'm not in a hurry..."

"That's right. You are only 19 years old and you are already the editor of "Dragon Movie"... Hey, who do you think is the best in our drama?"

"Of course it's Senior Sister, who brought out Ah Zi's surly, ruthless and infatuated side!"

Shen Xudong is not a fool...he must have something nice to say!

In fact, among those who watch "Dragon", who cares about Ah Zi?

Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Didn't you say I'm not suitable?"

"That's what I thought before I saw Senior Sister acting officially..." Shen Xudong said righteously: "Now I have watched Senior Sister act..."

"How about it?"

"It's amazing. You can tell that we are from a major in drama. Let's beat up those little brats!"

"Little brat?"

"...Mu Wanqing, Wang Yuyan..."

"How can you say it is so exaggerated..."

Although he knew he was complimenting himself, Chen Hao still raised the corners of his mouth slightly...

Shen Xudong continued to praise, "delicate acting skills", "capturing the character's background", "proud in Chinese dramas"...

Anyway, they are all good words. By the way, I want to belittle Jiang Xin and Liu Yifei...

Anyway, they are not here!

"Okay, stop talking..." Chen Hao waved his hand: "I have to go make up..."

"Um."

"Give me your contact information!"

"…good!"

"Don't get me wrong, my boyfriend will come to visit the class tomorrow, and I'll introduce him to you!"

"Senior sister has a boyfriend?"

Shen Xudong looked frustrated and seemed to be shocked...
