Chapter 59 Accidents happen
The next few days were peaceful, but Zhang Yuan discovered that Shi Xiaolong was avoiding him all day and was unwilling to teach him martial arts moves secretly no matter what.
Zhang Yuan thought to himself that he could still be controlled by a young boy.
I found an opportunity and found Shi Xiaolong after the filming.
"Xiaolong, you don't miss your mother either..."
As soon as Zhang Yuan mentioned Guo Feili, it worked immediately.
He finally found an easy target, how could he let it go?
The next day, there was another big drama.
Martial arts films, especially "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", have a lot of big scenes.
There are about 500 people on the scene today. Zhang Yuan did a quick calculation and found that the cost of lunch boxes alone would be several thousand yuan a day, not to mention the wages of the extras.
"Zhang Yuan, you and Gao Yuanyuan will position yourself and pay attention to the camera." Lai Shuiqing pulled him aside to explain the play.
The content of this scene is the famous "Lion-Slaughtering Conference", where people from the martial arts world compete in Shaolin.
In the end, Song Qingshu was seriously injured and Zhou Zhiruo became famous.
The first scene is the fight between Song Qingshu and the leader of the dragon head.
"Zhiruo, let me learn the methods of the Beggars' Sect!"
Zhang Yuan frowned, took two steps and flew onto the stage, standing in front of Gao Yuanyuan.
The two people's bodies were just half a meter apart, allowing the camera to capture them both at the same time.
The camera first focused on Zhang Yuan, and then zoomed to Gao Yuanyuan's pretty face, capturing her changing expressions.
"Not cruel enough, nor hateful enough." Lai Shuiqing said softly, but did not call for a stop.
At this time, Zhou Zhiruo should hate Zhang Wuji to the core, and mainly use Song Qingshu, but she should also have a hint of pity and disgust towards him.
But Gao Yuanyuan is not a professional and has never played a villain before, so she is obviously not very good at expressing such negative emotions.
The actor who plays the role of the dragon head holds a wooden stick with the top of the stick slightly protruding, similar to the shape of a small copper hammer.
Zhang Yuan held the sword in his hand, turned his wrist and made a sword flower, then stepped forward with the sword.
Ding dong!
The swords came into combat, and the man who played the role of the leader had a background in martial arts and had prepared his moves in advance, so the two of them fought very smoothly.
There were constant crisp sounds on the field, and Lai Shuiqing on the side nodded in agreement.
"You are so good at this."
"The fighting scenes with Zhang Yuan are indeed smoother than those with others. It looks like we can finish work early again today."
The other actors on the side were also watching with great interest. Zhang Yuan's fighting was so smooth and natural that they could suffer less and didn't have to repeat themselves over and over again.
"This kid is making rapid progress," praised Wang Gang, the teacher who plays Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Yuan's father.
"Indeed, he is stronger than when he first joined the group." Han Fuyi, who plays Yu Daying, also echoed.
"The best are the young people who are studious and smart. Everyone is relaxed."
All the supporting actors nodded.
Zhang Yuan on the field also felt that today was going particularly smoothly and there were no problems at all.
But things are unpredictable. Just when everyone from the director to the actors to the two people on the stage thinks everything is going smoothly, God is like a cheating ex-girlfriend, always giving you a little surprise at the critical moment.
When, when, when!
Zhang Yuan swung his sword continuously, and the sword frequently collided with the opponent's wooden stick.
After three consecutive times, according to the routine, Zhang Yuan turned around, looked at the moon, chopped down handsomely, and hit the end of the opponent's wooden stick with the sword.
This is a "teasing" move.
Click!
But at the moment when the metal and wood hit each other, Zhang Yuan's ears moved slightly.
wrong!
The sound of the beating this time was completely different from before.
He learned some hearing skills from his former roommate Zhao Jin, and his ears are now better than before and he is more sensitive to sounds.
Previously, the sound of the sword hitting the wooden stick was dull and long, but this time it was crisp and short.
The next moment, the sword body broke into two parts with the intersection with the wooden stick as the origin!
The sword body, about 30 centimeters long from the tip of the sword, separated from the main body, drew a terrifying silver light in the air, and went straight to Zhang Yuan's side.
Zhang Yuan was very lucky. Although the broken sword flew towards his chin, it deviated from its trajectory, leaving him with a generous space of half a meter. He did not need to move at all to escape the disaster.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next second, his expression became serious!
Behind him, the direction where the broken sword flew was exactly where Gao Yuanyuan was.
Just now the director asked them to stagger their positions to make it easier to capture their expressions, resulting in the other person standing accurately on the "free flying" trajectory of the broken sword.
Gao Yuanyuan is about 15 centimeters shorter than Zhang Yuan, and her chin is just at the height of the other's eyebrows.
Zhang Yuan's heart tightened immediately.
Be bad!
There was no time to react or swing his sword to fight back. Zhang Yuan had no choice but to suddenly raise his left arm, which was already in mid-air.
All I heard was a "swish" sound.
The fragment was blocked by his arm and its angle changed, deflecting slightly upwards.
With a "whoosh" sound, Gao Yuanyuan, who was standing several meters away, felt a shadow flying towards her. Before she could react or dodge, it flew out, brushing against her scalp.
The two long hairs on the forehead slowly fell down the next moment, and the broken ends were neat and uniform.
At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan was confused and had no idea what was going on.
The people around them didn't react until the tip of the sword hit the ground and stabbed into the soft soil on the set. "I'll fuck your mother!" Lai Shuiqing was so scared that his eyes glared: "Stop, snap, snap!"
"Tool, you idiot, get over here!!!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, someone come and help, doctor!"
At this time, Gao Yuanyuan's legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground, as if she had lost all her bones.
The face, which was originally covered with the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" makeup, now looked even paler, without a trace of blood.
The crew was in chaos. It was okay even though the second female lead was paralyzed!
They all came forward to check if anyone was injured.
"Zhang Yuan, what's wrong with you?" At this moment, Jia Jingwen was still sharp-eyed and noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Yuan at a glance.
"your hands……"
Zhang Yuan was covering the back of his left arm, with blood gushing out from between his fingers, continuously spilling onto the martial arts training ground beneath his feet. In just a few seconds, a pool of blood had formed, and the originally snow-white long sleeves of his coat were dyed cinnabar color.
To ensure safety, the prop swords used by the crew are not sharpened. In theory, even if they accidentally hit the arm, it would at most leave a red mark.
Unfortunately, when the fragment passed through Zhang Yuan's arm, the broken end just passed the back of his hand.
The broken edge was not only sharp, but also jagged like a dog's tooth. When it hit the skin, it felt like being sawed by a small saw.
Fortunately, he blocked it with the back of his hand. If he had used his wrist, he would probably have been "cut" by now.
Zhang Yuan looked at his arm, then looked up at Jia Jingwen, smiled miserably and said, "Do you have a Band-Aid?"
……
The filming crew was shut down, and Zhang Yuan only returned to the hotel arranged by the crew from the nearby district and county hospital in the evening.
Seven stitches were needed and the left wrist was wrapped like a pig's trotter.
Instead of returning to his room, he was taken to a small conference room in the hotel.
As soon as we entered the door, Lai Shuiqing, Yang Tao, Su Youpeng, Jia Jingwen, Gao Yuanyuan and other leading actors, as well as the main staff of the drama crew were all present.
"Zhang Yuan, what's wrong?" Yang Tao treats him as his own. He was the one who started the fight today, and he vowed to give Zhang Yuan an explanation.
"It's nothing serious, but the fighting scenes are a bit tough these days."
Seeing that he looked relaxed and didn't lose his temper on the spot, the staff nearby relaxed a little.
"What happened today is very dangerous. I think it is necessary to investigate it thoroughly..." Yang Tao put his hands on his hips: "The actor was injured, and the crew's progress was restricted."
"And if Zhang Yuan hadn't reacted quickly, the consequences would have been even more serious!"
Speaking of this, Gao Yuanyuan, who was sitting at the conference table, trembled her shoulders, still feeling a lingering fear.
Not only her, Su Youpeng and Jia Jingwen also had gloomy and nervous expressions.
Logically speaking, they have nothing to do with this scene, so why are they so frightened?
After Zhang Yuan went to the hospital, Alyssa Chia and Su Youpeng gathered nearby to watch the crew members examine him.
The props brother checked it again and again and found that there were several gaps on the sword body. It should be a hidden injury that caused the sword body to break.
The swords in the crew were numbered and would not be mixed up, so the props staff thought that the incident was caused by the actor himself.
But Yang Tao would definitely not accept this answer, someone must take the blame.
But Alyssa Chia was smart and remembered that she and Su Youpeng were fighting with swords yesterday, and the sword Su used was Zhang Yuan's!
After the two of them discussed it, they decided that this matter was most likely related to them.
Moreover, Lai Shuiqing took photos of the two of them fighting yesterday, so the evidence is solid.
Now that the crew is investigating, how can they not panic?
Even if there won't be any legal problems, I have a good relationship with Zhang Yuan, and I would feel bad for causing him to get hurt.
I am struggling with whether or not to confess proactively.
At this time, Zhang Yuan raised his hand and waved, interrupting Yang Tao's words.
"Director Yang, this matter is actually very clear. There is no need to go to such great lengths."
Jia Jingwen and Su Youpeng swallowed their saliva and were so nervous that their toes touched the ground.
The leader of the props group also had a circle of sweat on his forehead, thinking that he was bound to take the blame.
"Well, Zhang Yuan, go ahead." Yang Tao was stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Yuan to speak on his own initiative. He thought that Zhang Yuan had some resentment in his heart, so he simply gave him the right to speak.
Director Yang is very nice to Zhang Yuan. After all, he helped him gain a lot of control over the crew. Today he plans to help Zhang Yuan establish his authority!
"Okay, I'll tell you then."
Zhang Yuan stood up and spoke with a warm smile.
"What happened today was purely an accident. My injuries are not serious. There is no need to worry."
"You..." Yang Tao never expected that Zhang Yuan could make a big deal out of a small matter.
It was like he punched cotton.
"Oh." Lai Shuiqing was also surprised, and at the same time he looked up to Zhang Yuan: "Since Zhang Yuan has said so, then let's end this matter here."
"The props team, go back and check all the weapons. Check the costumes for me as well. If there are any problems again, hehe..."
There is no need to talk about the specific consequences at this time, a sneer is enough.
The originally confrontational meeting ended abruptly, and many people looked at Zhang Yuan with gratitude.
