The worker was lucky, at least he was still alive.
But the person was rescued, and the foreman also arrived and immediately surrounded Du Zhiguo.
"You can't run away if you hurt someone!"
"Lao Cui has parents and children to take care of, you are so wicked!"
"Sorrow!"
Is that any good?
Zhang Yuan did not run away when he saw this, but quickly called director Wang Xinming to solve the problem.
This is neither easy nor difficult.
The key point is to see whether the person admitted to the hospital is alive or dead.
If the baby is born, then everything will be easy, it’s just a matter of how much money you have to lose.
If he died, it would be troublesome.
In China, any big event that does not kill anyone is a small event, and any small event that kills someone is a big event.
Gao Hu hit a lighting technician while driving on a film set. Because the other person was seriously injured and died, he was sentenced to one year in prison with a one-year reprieve. His career, which had been going smoothly, was almost ruined.
Teacher Du is facing the same problem now.
"Director, tell me, your actors have hurt our people. What should we do?" The foreman was filled with righteous indignation and instigated his workers as he spoke.
"Yes, give us an explanation!"
"Otherwise, don't shoot this drama!"
Wang Xinming's face was full of black lines and his forehead was covered with sweat.
Grandma’s!
The half-year suspension of production nearly made me faint. Now I have just joined the crew and this kind of thing happened before filming even started. Is it unlucky for our crew?
"First, take this old guy to the police station and lock him up for a few years!" the foreman suddenly said.
"Not really, not really. Let's discuss it." Director Wang tried to comfort her, but the situation couldn't be calmed down with just a few words.
"Anyway, the wall built by you actors crushed our people, you must give an explanation!" the foreman shouted.
But at this moment, a faint male voice interrupted the other party's words: "That may not be the case."
This sound attracted everyone's attention and everyone turned their heads.
I saw a handsome young man squatting on the ground, stroking something gray with his fingertips.
This person, of course, is Zhang Yuan!
"What did you say?" The foreman was instantly furious: "Are you still trying to deny it?"
Director Wang Xinming glanced at Zhang Yuan and sighed in his heart.
Why are you making such a fuss at this time? Isn't this just giving others an excuse to cause trouble?
"Let's not talk about anything else for now. I think that the collapse of this wall is not just the responsibility of Teacher Du Zhiguo." After saying that, Zhang Yuan stood up and kicked another brick wall on the side.
All I heard was a loud crash!
Half of the wall collapsed and turned into broken bricks.
Under everyone's surprised gaze, Zhang Yuan picked up the snakeskin bag beside him, poured all the powder in it onto the ground, and then spoke.
"There's something wrong with the cement you used."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The foreman replied with a flickering look in his eyes, and his momentum was much weaker than before.
"Director Wang, look, real cement is usually grayish white in color and feels smooth."
"But the cement they used is not only dark in color, but also slightly green. It should be because the slag content is too high and there are a lot of metal elements in it."
Director Wang didn't know why Zhang Yuan knew so much about cement, but as an old hand, he immediately understood Zhang Yuan's intention.
At this time, we must clarify the responsibilities. There is a fundamental difference in the way of handling whether you are fully responsible or half responsible!
"Oh yes, how do you explain this?" Director Wang asked quickly.
"Generally, the initial setting time of cement is about 45 minutes. Once the initial setting begins, the wall will gradually become solid. How can I just kick it down?"
Of course, Zhang Yuan was just bluffing. His kick was so powerful and forceful that he used his strength to the extreme. Not to mention that there were problems with the wall to begin with, even if there were no problems, it would still be a disaster.
It’s just that he grasped the other person’s psychology!
The foreman felt guilty because he used cheap materials.
Their idea is very simple.
This is a filming location and no one needs to live there. It just needs to last a few months. If I'm a little greedy, no one will notice.
"The two commonly used cements are 325 and 425." Zhang Yuan said calmly.
“425 is generally used for pouring structures, while 325 is used for tiling and building walls.”
"But I think your cement doesn't even reach 325."
The foreman's face turned pale, and he immediately argued: "You have no say on whether the cement is good or not, but people are always crushed by the walls you build, right?"
"Yes!" the worker behind him immediately responded.
"Don't worry, in addition to the cement problem, your construction also has problems."
He may not be familiar with other things, but he knows everything about the work on the construction site!
All other skills were acquired through hard work, but the skills on the construction site can be regarded as talents from two lifetimes, which are very solid.
"Director Wang, look, there are still a lot of bags of cement and gravel under the broken brick wall that hit people just now."
"Teacher Du, these bags were not there when you started building the wall, right?" Zhang Yuan turned around and asked.
Du Zhiguo thought about it and shook his head vigorously.
"That's it. These workers piled a lot of heavy objects behind the wall built by Teacher Du."
"Originally, the difference in internal and external stress was huge, but the two parties, with one side stacking goods and the other side building the wall, managed to maintain a delicate balance."
"But Director Wang, look, the worker who was just crushed was obviously carrying these snakeskin bags."
"The originally relatively stable stress completely lost its balance because the heavy object on one side was moved away. This is why the wall fell towards the movers' side instead of Mr. Du Zhiguo's side."
Director Wang was amazed after hearing this. He did not know much about engineering and architecture, but he understood one thing.
Zhang Yuan is right!
"These workers violated the construction rules and piled things illegally next to the brick wall under construction. Are there any rules or laws?"
"If we are unlucky, it will be Mr. Du Zhiguo who gets hit."
"Teacher Du is a well-known actor. Can you afford the responsibility if he injures you?" Zhang Yuan shouted with his hands on his hips, and with a few moves, he turned the tables.
The foreman was confused by what he said.
How come it suddenly became our responsibility?
He looked at the team leader beside him, who closed his eyes and nodded.
"This kid is absolutely right..."
People instinctively like to seek shade when they pile things up. Isn’t the wall built by Teacher Du Zhiguo a shade?
The foreman was shocked. Where did this kid come from and how could he know so much?
In fact, not to mention that they already have flaws, even if they don't have any flaws, with Zhang Yuan's strength, he can still find all kinds of tricky loopholes for them.
Without this ability, how can you control those old foxes on the construction site?
"There are problems with the materials and the work standards, and you still dare to speak so loudly." Zhang Yuan put his hands on his hips, took out a cigarette from his pocket, but instead of smoking it, he put it between his ears.
His whole temperament immediately changed from a handsome young man to a supervisor.
"Our Director Wang is a kind person. He doesn't find fault with you when something happens, but discusses saving lives and treating patients first." After saying that, he curled his lips at Wang Xinming, indicating that he could discuss the compensation.
"Yes, as the crew leader, my main focus is to save lives and heal the wounded. We can discuss your issues later."
Wang Xinming turned around and glanced at Zhang Yuan, whose face was full of "bandit spirit", and thought that this young man had turned the situation around with just a few words.
Before he opened his mouth, the initiative was completely in the other party's hands.
But after all this mixing, the power between the two sides is at least 50-50, so there is something to talk about.
Even though this lack of momentum and initiative could mean a difference of hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars when it comes to negotiating compensation, Mr. Du Zhiguo was also quite surprised.
Just now, all the workers surrounded him and looked like they wanted to eat him and skin him alive.
But now that Zhang Yuan was speaking, most of the workers quieted down and no one was picking on him anymore.
[Received thanks from Wang Xinming, drinking capacity +1, directing skills +1! ]
[Received thanks from Du Zhiguo, dialogue basics +2, performance skills +1! ]
Afterwards, Director Wang took the foreman to the hospital to visit the injured and discuss compensation.
Du Zhiguo pulled Zhang Yuan aside and expressed his gratitude again.
"Wow, if you weren't there just now, I think those guys would have thrown me into the frying pan."
The two of them were smoking and chatting, and Teacher Du is still in shock.
"What a shame. I wanted to practice for acting, but it seems my level is still not good enough."
Although Zhang Yuan pushed the responsibility onto the other party, Teacher Du still had an idea that the thing he built was indeed not that good.
"After this incident, those workers now treat me like their enemy. It seems I can't learn how to build walls anymore." Teacher Du said with some regret, his worries dissipating into the air along with the dark circles under his eyes.
"If you can't, I can teach you." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.
"You?" Du Zhiguo looked him up and down.
The young man in front of him was fair, tall and thin, with delicate skin. He didn't look like he had done hard work, nor did he look like a skilled worker.
The old veteran thinks he has a way of judging people.
But what he couldn't see through was that beneath Zhang Yuan's appearance, there was a weathered heart of a construction worker who had worked on the site for more than ten years.
Innate talent is not just something you say.
"You don't believe it?" Zhang Yuan smiled and put out his cigarette. "How about we make a bet, a Yuxi?"
"Okay." Du Zhiguo thought he was just joking.
In the evening, Zhang Yuan asked someone to bring a truckload of bricks and several bags of cement.
He relaxed his arms and shoulders, picked up the plastering knife and poured out a bag of real cement. Then he patted it and piled it into a "hill", then dug a groove in the middle.
He picked up the bucket that had been prepared long ago, poured half of it into the bucket, then scooped a few shovels of yellow sand into it. Then he lifted the shovel and stirred it back and forth. After several times of "adding more water to the flour and more flour to the water", Zhang Yuan scooped up a lump of cement with a plastering knife, let it fall naturally under the action of gravity, and observed the state of the cement.
Is it too thick, too thin, or are there any bubbles?
At this moment, quite a few people had gathered around him.
An incident had just happened during the day, and at night the crew came to build a wall for fun. Not only did the workers come to join in the fun and want to see the joke, but the crew members were also very surprised, thinking that Zhang Yuan was really brave!
Especially the workers, they think that you actors earn a lot, but our work is not as simple as you think, it is not something you can do just by looking at it.
But when they saw Zhang Yuan's extremely skillful movements when mixing the cement and the final product, several workers swallowed and looked at each other.
“Is this one of ours?”
Ignoring them, Zhang Yuan took out a plumb bob, tied it with a thin rope, and then hung it on a rack that had been prepared long ago. In this way, an absolutely vertical reference line created by gravity was formed.
This was not the end. He took out two bricks, tied the two ends of a thin rope to the bricks, and then tightened it.
In this way, a horizontal reference line relative to the ground also appears.
"What the hell!" The crew members couldn't understand it, but the workers were extremely amazed at the young man's operation.
Simple, efficient, steady, accurate and ruthless. I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to do it myself.
"Is this the guy who confused the foreman earlier?"
"Yes, yes, that's him."
While people around were talking, Zhang Yuan had already picked up a brick, scooped up a lump of cement, smeared it on the brick, and then placed it at the intersection of the two thin wires, and then tapped it gently with his hand to make sure it was firm.
Then came the second block, the third block, and the fourth block. Soon, he had completed the first layer.
Then he placed another brick under each brick that was tied with the horizontal line to raise the line, and then started to work on the second layer.
"Excellent!" An old worker nearby gave a thumbs up: "The horizontal line follows the bricks, no laziness."
The second floor, the third floor, the fourth floor, the fifth floor...
Zhang Yuan raised his hands and dropped bricks with extremely fast movements. He held a cigarette in his mouth and squinted his eyes. His state was no different from that of an old bricklayer.
One drop, one scrape, one shovel, the movements are very skillful.
More and more people gathered around, including Shu Chang, He Meitian and others.
Miss He was stunned.
The leading male actor in our crew was found from the construction site?
Shu Chang's idea is completely different. Her idea is...
"Brother Yuan looks handsome even when he's laying bricks!"
In just over an hour, a small narrow wall half a person's height took shape. Zhang Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and looked at Du Zhiguo standing beside him.
At this moment, Teacher Du looked as if his jaw was dislocated, staring blankly with his mouth open.
Compared with the wall he built before, it looked like it was used for rock climbing. Not only was it crooked, but it also had many irregular protrusions.
Several workers ran to the side of the wall in groups and took a look.
It is straight and straight, and as stable as if it was cast from a machine mold.
"Look, there's not a single bit of excess cement on the bricks on the wall. They're clean and tidy."
"Look at the gap. The thickness is exactly the same. There is no hollow bubble at all."
"That's not all. Look at that kid. He has a wall on his body, but there's not a single speck of mud on his clothes!"
Several workers looked at each other and nodded.
This is a master!
"At this level, it must be 150 a day, right?" a worker said in shock.
"I think it's more than that. It should be 200."
"I watch 300 a day."
One worker clapped his hands and then cried out in pain: "It's over, the actors are starting to steal our business!"
Zhang Yuan walked up to Teacher Du and made a sign to him.
"Teacher Du, remember we agreed to go to Yuxi."
Du Zhiguo swallowed, his eyes still filled with astonishment.
Good guy!
I play a master wall-builder.
But this guy is a real "wall-building master"!
Thinking about how he had boasted in front of others in the afternoon that he would learn it if he took a look, his face suddenly turned red.
"Good boy, I promise to give you a cigarette."
"Then I guarantee you'll learn it!" Zhang Yuan responded with a smile.
But at this moment, he felt his shoulders sink and a big hand rested on his shoulder.
When I turned around, I saw a few rough-looking workers with dark skin.
"you?"
"Can you teach us your craft?" Several workers asked with a silly smile. (End of this chapter)
