Chapter 108: Give the crew some strength
That night, the sound of ambulance sirens resounded throughout Taohua Island.
ZS Municipal Hospital.
In the ward, in the corridor, on the bench in the emergency room...
From actors, cameramen, directors, production staff, props, to execution, most of the main personnel of the "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" crew gathered here.
It would be great if it was a medical drama, we wouldn’t even have to worry about the scenes and the actors’ conditions.
"Ouch..."
"Hoohoo!"
"Doctor, save me."
There were groans, cries for help, and even people who didn't have the strength to speak at all.
Doctors and nurses are not only busy and sweating, but also have to endure all kinds of pungent smells.
Some people ran away while they were lying down.
Some people were running around and then they lay down.
Zhang Yuan followed the ambulance that was carrying the bearded man to the hospital.
The first thing he did was to run to a nearby store, empty out soaps, washbasins, towels and other daily necessities, and then distribute them to the crew members one by one.
It really allowed him to take advantage of a lot of attributes.
Of course, he did this not only for the attributes, but also for the investigation.
Obviously, this large-scale vomiting and diarrhea is most likely collective food poisoning.
There are only two possibilities for this situation to happen on the set.
Food quality and poisoning.
You know, just last September, the largest poisoning case since the founding of the People's Republic of China shocked the whole country.
And the place where it happened is not too far from here, in Jinling.
The human heart is unpredictable and dark as the abyss.
Zhang Yuan saw that although these crew colleagues were weak, they were not in danger of life. After consulting a doctor, he ruled out the possibility of poisoning.
Then, the only thing left is food poisoning.
While delivering towels, washbasins and toiletries, Zhang Yuan also found out who on the crew needed medical treatment.
"They are all main members. There are no temporary workers, extras, handymen or other small people. Almost all of them are core staff."
Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows, thinking of what Cao Jianjun had said to him before, and had a rough idea in his mind.
"None of these people ate the food prepared by my group."
"They are all the main actors who eat the 20 yuan meal standard, and the crew members who eat the yuan meal standard."
"A 20-yuan meal, and a 12-yuan kickback. I don't think this meal is worth eating!"
"Zhang Yuan, thank you for what happened before." In the ward, Zhang Yuan sat between two beds, one on his left and one on his right were Chen Hao and Jiang Xin.
If he hadn't brought the umbrella, the two actresses would have either run around naked in front of people or had to pull up their trouser pockets, shivering terribly.
At this moment, needles were inserted into the back of their left hands, and cold liquid slowly flowed from the high-hanging glass bottle, relieving their pain.
That is, the leading actress is a girl, and many grown men can only make do with lying on temporary stretchers in the corridor.
"You two should have a good rest. I will treat you to a feast after you recover."
"Yeah." Jiang Xin has been clamoring to lose weight since joining the crew. This time, she lost several kilograms.
"By the way, how come you're okay?" She suddenly reacted.
Zhang Yuan looked normal and had a rosy complexion, which was in stark contrast to the weak and powerless state of others.
"I practice martial arts, so I'm relatively strong."
"Oh..." Both girls believed it.
The door was crooked and the pale-faced Jin Song and Huang Julong looked confused.
Are we practicing fake martial arts?
In fact, the fact that he was able to hold on had nothing to do with martial arts training.
The main reason was that he did not trust the boxed lunches prepared by Ma Peng's relatives. He ate little to begin with, and often asked Cao Jianjun to bring him lunch.
In addition, when I am not filming and at home, I eat Brother Qian’s homemade cold dishes every day, which helps to train my stomach.
It has to be Brother Qian who predicted God's prediction.
After a few more words of comfort, he turned around and searched other wards.
"Xixi and Liu Xiaoli are not here. They usually eat differently from everyone else, so they should be fine."
"besides……"
Looking around, he finally found his target.
"Brother Yuan." Shu Chang was also in the hospital, but she was sitting on a hospital bed with a book called "Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation" in front of her. She was wearing pink half-framed glasses and studying while receiving an IV drip.
Seeing him coming, I put down the book.
"He can sit and read. It seems that his condition is not serious."
Shu's singing voice is not high. He works during the day and studies at night. He is already tired and doesn't eat much. Even though the infection is mild, he still got infected.
He is indeed a top student, studying like this... Seeing this, Zhang Yuan thought of the students in future generations who did their homework while receiving an IV drip.
Moreover, in his previous life, it was not until he started working and had a colleague from Shanghai that he discovered that not all places have evening self-study classes.
Classes at Magic City High School end at 5 o'clock...
Shu Chang is a student from the imperial capital, and he has access to the best educational resources in the country, bar none.
Yet he still works so hard, which is really not easy.
"Brother Yuan, you're okay." Shu Chang smiled happily when he saw him jumping around.
"You have dark circles under your eyes, so you need to rest." Zhang Yuan observed and found that except for the slightly thin cheeks, there was no major problem.
"Are you having trouble filming?"
"It's okay." Shu Chang replied somewhat guiltily.
"That singer-actor keeps changing his script?" Zhang Yuan saw through it at a glance.
"sometimes……"
"If you really get into trouble, be sure to tell me."
"Yeah!" Only at this moment did her eyes become firm.
I also visited the other leading actors one after another.
"Zhang Yuan, you are still strong and healthy. It's good to be young." Liu Tao stroked the outside of his arm with an indescribable look in his eyes.
Zhang Yuan suddenly remembered the nurse costume of Teacher Bai Jie in a TV series.
After leaving the hospital gate and finding a deserted place, Zhang Yuan took out his cell phone.
"Hey, Brother Yuan."
He first called Cao Jianjun.
"Do you know everything about the crew?"
"All the horses at the horse farm have heard about it. It has spread all over the place." Cao Jianjun's tone was ecstatic and extremely proud: "This time, that assistant director Ma Peng will be in trouble." "He deserves to take so many kickbacks..."
Cao Jianjun also knew about Ma Peng's targeting of Zhang Yuan, so he said this, thinking that it would help his boss vent his anger.
But he didn't expect that this would lead to Zhang Yuan's stern stop.
"Shut up!"
"From now on, you and your people will not know anything about the ins and outs of this matter. Do you understand?"
"Don't reveal any information about Ma Peng or Hefan in front of others. Don't say a word. Play dumb."
Cao Jianjun didn't know what Zhang Yuan wanted to do, but based on his own experience, he chose to obey his boss unconditionally.
Putting down the phone, Zhang Yuan touched his chin.
"You're an assistant director, and you're trying to kill me just for a kickback from lunch boxes."
"If I don't kill you now, I'll be letting down my two lives!"
When a scandal like this happens on a film crew, the first reaction is definitely to suppress it!
It’s best not to leak any information.
Then make a big thing small, a small thing nothing, and pretend that everything is normal.
But in this way, wouldn’t Ma Peng be eliminated?
Of course Zhang Yuan couldn't let things develop in a direction that was favorable to him.
I picked up the phone again and dialed a somewhat unfamiliar number.
After a while, the person on the other end picked up the phone. The voice sounded muffled, as if the person was covering the phone and was not comfortable speaking loudly.
"How have you been recently?" Zhang Yuan asked with a smile in his tone.
But the other party was hesitant and even a little afraid of him.
"Hello, long time no see."
The person he was contacting now was none other than the future paparazzi king, Zhuo Wei, who was caught by him taking secret photos in the bushes of the crew.
"Where are you working?"
"I...I'm in the imperial capital. What do you want to see me for?"
Zhuo Wei thought, although this guy is younger than me, I can't see through his thoughts.
All the behaviors were beyond his expectations, which made him very scared. He always felt like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
"Imperial capital, who are you following again?" Zhang Yuan asked casually.
"Can I not answer?"
"of course."
"So you're looking for me?"
"Buy the nearest plane ticket, train ticket, bus ticket, no matter what means, rush to ZS Municipal Hospital." Zhang Yuan chuckled: "I'll give you some big news."
"Ah?" Zhuo Wei never expected that the other party was actually trying to provide him with information.
"How big is it?"
"It's about the size of a three or four-story building."
Zhuo Wei gritted his teeth. The job at hand was quite important, but he still chose to trust this mysterious little brother.
"By the way, let me give you another piece of information..."
Zhang Yuan revealed the whole matter of Ma Peng taking kickbacks, and asked Zhuo Wei to pay special attention to this assistant director when collecting materials.
"Remember, I never contacted you."
"I understand this!" Zhuo Wei was so excited after listening to Zhang Yuan's description of the incident that he could not express it in words.
This is a huge scandal.
The bearded man is a very face-conscious person. The movie "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was very popular before it was even filmed. Now that this matter has been brought up, it will surely become a big hit once it is published in the newspaper.
He had no idea what Zhang Yuan was up to, but even if it was a poisoned apple, he had to swallow it!
This kind of news related to the crew and stars is too attractive to him.
"Also remember, I helped you twice."
"Um... I remember." Zhuo Wei could feel that the other party's efforts would not be in vain.
He must have some intention towards me.
But the fact that someone is willing to use me shows that I am useful!
Isn't this a disguised form of recognition?
Zhuo Wei has just joined the entertainment magazine star BIGSTAR and is in urgent need of proving himself.
He originally worked at Tianjin's Daily News, where he was in charge of the entertainment section.
In 01, Jiang Wen went to the island country to promote the movie "The Devils". Through intelligence, Zhuo Wei learned that this great director actually visited the XX Shrine!
Although it was just a visit and material collection without any worship, this matter was put on the entertainment section by Zhuo Wei. Once it was published, the newspaper sold well and Jiang Wen was scolded to pieces.
As a child of a wealthy family, Jiang Wen immediately mobilized his connections, not only had the news withdrawn, but he also had Zhuo Wei fired from the newspaper.
The two of them became enemies from then on.
Why did Zhuo Wei keep staring at Liu Xiaoqing afterwards?
It’s all because of Jiang Wen.
If I can't deal with you, I can deal with your big sister in the film industry who evades taxes.
As he continues to improve his status within the magazine, he cannot miss out on this big news.
So he doesn't care about the consequences now and just does it first!
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuan arranged everything and waited for things to develop.
"What was he doing secretly in the imperial capital?" Zhang Yuan lit a cigarette, took a puff, and recalled carefully.
"Oh!"
He suddenly laughed, having roughly guessed the job at hand.
"I think they're making that 'star map'."
24 hours later, the bearded man lying on the hospital bed was looking at his own medical report with a ferocious look on his face.
"E. coli exceeds the limit..."
I've had my gastric pumped three times, but it's still above the standard!
Ok!
If Zhang Yuan hadn't smashed the jar to save me, I would probably have been like Duke Jing of Jin, and would have been "infamous for eternity."
Zhang Da Huzi calmed himself down and realized that the crew would have to stop working, and he also had to find an excuse to explain to the investors.
Hehe, maybe a bad thing can turn into a good thing and I can get some money.
"Director Zhang, this is bad!"
He was just feeling happy when his assistant rushed to his bed with a newspaper.
The bearded man took it and looked at it, and almost vomited blood.
[The assistant director of the crew is full of fat intestines, and the leading actor on the set is full of soup]
