"Doctor, hurry up!" Lao Zhou beside him quickly picked up the loudspeaker: "Others stay at their posts and are not allowed to leave. Don't go up to watch. Lao Dong, Kun, you two, please stay here."
After saying that, he ran behind Qin Xiaobao and arrived quickly at a distance of more than 200 meters.
Fortunately, the other stuntmen had excellent equestrian skills. When they first noticed someone falling off their horse, they immediately grabbed the reins and ran away.
"Don't help, don't help others."
Qin Xiaobao, who was more than ten meters away, saw everyone jumping into the water and shouted quickly when he wanted to reach out.
The actors took off their masks with worried expressions on their faces, but they stopped when they heard his shout.
Qin Xiaobao panted and came to the edge. The water was not deep, probably up to his ankles, and the actor was lying there moaning.
"How do you feel?" He squatted down and did not take the initiative to touch.
Although I don't understand medicine, I also know that you should not help a person who has fallen casually, because the other person is most likely to suffer a fracture. If you do it rashly, it is likely to cause secondary injuries.
"My legs are numb." Fortunately, the actor was conscious and said, "Don't worry, director, I'm fine."
"You lie down first, the doctor will be here soon." Qin Xiaobao comforted him a few times, shouted a few times with the walkie-talkie, and saw the doctor rushing over with two nurses, and someone behind him carrying a stretcher.
The professionals arrived and others moved out of the way.
After some examination, it was initially concluded that the calf was fractured and there were many bruises on the body. To be specific, detailed examination would be carried out after entering the hospital.
After some treatment, he was put on a stretcher.
Qin Xiaobao followed for a while: "Xiao Sun, you can rest in peace and recuperate. The crew will help solve all problems, so don't have any worries."
He might have been knocked unconscious just now and couldn't feel the pain. Now his expression was a little distorted, but he still managed a smile: "I'm sorry, director, for delaying everyone's business."
"Don't say that. You go to the hospital first. I'll come over to see you after work is over."
Watching the patient get into the car, Qin Xiaobao and Lao Zhou went their separate ways.
When an actor falls from a horse, it is a big deal. The producer is responsible for appeasing other people's emotions and handling the aftermath. The director must find out the reasons and hold those responsible accountable.
When the incident happened, Qin Xiaobao was staring at the monitor, and after searching the actors' dictations, he roughly determined the cause.
There is a stone in the river, which is covered with moss and has obvious scratches.
The horse probably lost control of its speed and stepped on a rock, causing an accident.
Other actors also rushed over and asked about the situation. After knowing that the problem was not too big, they felt relieved.
For them, they have done a lot of filming and have seen all kinds of situations, so it is not surprising.
After calming down the emotions of several stand-ins, Qin Xiaobao returned to the monitor and looked at the playback. Everything else was fine, but the part where the horse entered the water was definitely not usable.
In his plan, this shot was a must.
Because he is handsome!
"Can you still take pictures?" Qin Xiaobao asked someone to call a stand-in: "This time there is no need to come down from the mountain, just start entering the water a few meters away. In addition, I will find someone to clean up the stones in the river first."
The stand-ins are very professional, and in their line of work, injuries are commonplace, and fractures happen from time to time.
When a colleague enters the hospital, he must be worried, and he still has to do his job.
The director discussed it nicely and lowered the difficulty level. He was very grateful to them and nodded quickly.
The actors went to prepare, and Lao Zhou came over: "I have already told the crew to stop talking nonsense. How about that person?"
"The fracture is certain, and further examination is needed for other things." Qin Xiaobao sighed, the previous filming went so smoothly, what happened this time?
It's only been a week, and there have been minor problems, and today a big incident happened.
"Ask someone to buy some fruits and supplements. I'm sure I'll be hospitalized. After filming this scene, I'll rest today and calm down first. You and I will go to the hospital together."
"Okay." Lao Zhou nodded in agreement.
An hour later, filming continued.
Qin Xiaobao already had an idea. Although the sprint distance was short and the feeling of walking like the wind was gone, he planned to reverse it and use slow motion to achieve the same effect.
No surprises this time, well done.
He still felt regretful in his heart, because in addition to fixed cameras, there were also drones aerial photography throughout the whole process. Qin Xiaobao thought that it would be really cool if there was a long shot of the attack.
For now it seems the only option is to give up.
If it were another director, he might be unselfish and do it all over again no matter what happened.
He couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart, and always felt a little inexplicable.
After a brief lunch and explaining some precautions to the fat director, Qin Xiaobao and Lao Zhou got into Xiangyang's car and headed to the city.
In a ward, the three of them saw the patient. He was lying on the bed, his right leg was tightly wrapped and hung in the air. His arms and other parts were covered with gauze.
"Xiao Ma, how do you feel?" Qin Xiaobao put the things aside and moved a chair to sit on the side.
"It's nothing serious." Xiao Ma didn't struggle like he acted in the TV series, but it was obvious that he was very happy: "It's just a fractured calf and some minor bruises. I did a comprehensive examination. The rest
There’s no problem with the place.”
"Broken bones are not a big deal." Qin Xiaobao looked at his leg. He had never suffered such a serious injury since he was a child: "Does it hurt?"
"I'm used to it," Xiao Ma chuckled: "As stuntmen, it's common for us to get injured. However, I may have to find someone to replace me next time."
"Your task now is to take good care of your injuries," Lao Zhou comforted him: "Don't worry about work, and don't worry about it. The insurance company will ask you to find out about the situation later, just tell the truth.
In addition, there won’t be any lost wages or anything like that.”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
"Don't write it, you should, but..." Lao Zhou knew that there was something he, the producer, needed to say: "Xiao Ma, we are a crew after all. We must pay attention to the impact. If someone is injured, we definitely don't want it to appear in the news.
If a reporter comes to report, I hope you don’t respond directly and communicate with me first, how about that?”
Lao Zhou was getting vaccinated in advance. There were 200 to 300 people on site. In addition to the crew, there were many other invited people.
The situation was a bit chaotic at that time. As soon as I shouted that something was wrong, everyone ran there.
Although I had said in advance that no photos were allowed and no external reports were allowed, someone might do something secretly.
As a normal crew member, it is impossible for him to check everyone's mobile phones one by one. That would be too disrespectful.
The most important thing is to comfort the injured first.
Fortunately, when we hired stand-ins, they were all hired from professional organizations. Whether it was contracts or other matters, the procedures were strictly followed and there were no problems.
I have already contacted the other party's company on the way, and there is also a dedicated person to cooperate with the crew to handle the remaining matters. There will be no excessive asking for prices or threats to the crew.
