Under the moonlight, director Wang Xinming and the contractor who helped the crew set up the scene returned from the hospital and settled the matter of compensation for the injured.
The worker is old and young, and his life is indeed not easy.
But the foreman was not authentic, and the workers in those days had poor safety awareness. They didn’t even wear safety helmets.
Fortunately, the smashing was not too heavy, and the studio used hollow bricks for partition walls instead of solid bricks filled with cement, which were used for structural walls, and were much lighter in weight.
So the final result was a mild concussion, multiple contusions and two fractures, which required hospitalization for observation.
Originally, the foreman thought that he would be able to understand the director's needs for the crew's progress and ask for more compensation.
Then I took the lead in donating some, and encouraged other workers to help with nutrition expenses.
At that time, "the workers' money will be divided into 30-70 accounts, and their own money will be returned in full", and they can still make another profit.
Who would have thought that Zhang Yuan would interfere with this, and Director Wang would be hard-pressed. In the end, the medical expenses, nutrition expenses, plus half a year's lost work expenses were only 60,000 yuan.
Don’t think it’s too little.
At that time, RMB 60,000 could be used to build a big house in the countryside.
And at the beginning of the 21st century, a human life is not worth much.
Just like Zhao Decai and his family’s mine, in which year would no one die?
Just ask the family members to compensate two to three hundred thousand yuan.
After all, the dead horse on the set of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is worth more than the workers.
Really, animals are more valuable than humans.
Since ancient times, the lives of working people have always been cheap. Most of the time, they are not worth as much as the pets of the rich...
Although the compensation was settled, Wang Xinming still felt uneasy.
First of all, it is a problem when the computer is turned on, and there is blood when going out.
Secondly, there is a conflict between the crew and the workers, and it is easy for problems to occur in the progress of subsequent scenes.
Although Zhang Yuan pointed out the engineering team's cutting corners, Director Wang actually knew it already but turned a blind eye.
Now that conflicts are aroused, if we use this team again, we are afraid that the other party will be even worse.
No need, it will be difficult to find suitable manpower for a while, the progress of the crew will be slowed down, and the losses will be even greater.
In this way, he was in a dilemma.
The best choice at the moment is to give the engineering team some sweet dates to win over the people and finish the work first.
In this way, the two old gangsters who "each have their own agendas" returned to the crew.
As soon as they arrived, the two were surprised to find that a large number of people had gathered in an open space in the center of the set.
A group of workers wearing dirty military green camouflage uniforms were sitting on small benches, scratching their heads, or recording something in small notebooks.
“What are you...doing?” The workers stepped forward in confusion, while Director Wang stared blankly in front of everyone.
“Boss Huang, we are learning masonry work.”
"Who?" The foreman was puzzled: "Who should I learn from?"
When the foreman looked around, he caught a glimpse of a nearby brick wall, and then walked forward in surprise.
"Okay, this wall is well built, neat and tidy, horizontally and vertically, and the mud seams are even and even every day, as if carved by a machine."
The foreman turned around and asked: "This It’s Master Liu’s craftsmanship, I don’t see it, he seems to have improved recently.”
Master Liu is an old bricklayer hired by the foreman. In 2000, he could get a salary of 250 a day, which is very good. high.
"Boss, it wasn't Master Liu who built it, it was him." The worker raised his finger and pointed at Zhang Yuan, who was standing in front of others with his hands on his hips, a tape measure hanging on his trousers, and a cigarette between his ears.
“The mortar fullness is required to meet the requirements of the 'Three Ones' bricklaying method."
"Three Ones means one shovel of ash, one brick, and one kneading. The mortar fullness cannot be less than 80 %..."
The foreman's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
“Isn’t this the young actor who had sex in the afternoon?”
"Why did he start teaching my workers?"
The foreman turned his head and looked at the wall again, and rubbed his ears hard.
“At this level...could it be that this kid was from a construction site before?”
“At this level, it looks like he has at least 10 years of service, and he looks like he is only in his 20s. That’s not right. !”
While the foreman was puzzled, director Wang Xinmin was ecstatic.
Just now I was thinking about how to appease the workers and let them work hard.
Looking at it now, I don’t need to comfort him anymore. They just sit here and listen to Zhang Yuan’s lecture.
“Wu Yue asked for a salary of 1 million.”
“But with his 1 million, he should not be able to do such a thing.”
Wang Xinming became more and more convinced I feel that I have found the right person by recruiting Zhang Yuan.
[Received thanks from Wang Xinmin, +1 for film and television appreciation, +1 for literary foundation, and +1 for drinking capacity! 】
“Goodbye, Mr. Zhang!”
A few hours later, the workers and Zhang Yuan took care of them, talking and laughing back to their residence to rest.
Zhang Yuan also felt that he had not heard the name "Zhang Gong" for a long time. At first glance, he felt a little friendly.
With him mediating in the middle, the tension between the crew and workers eased a lot.
After all, the construction site believes in a very primitive "law of the jungle", and the income of ordinary workers is completely linked to their skills.
But the old master will not teach people in vain, he would like to hide it for a lifetime. After all, the young ones in the church will starve to death, and everyone wants to keep a hand.
It is rare to find someone as "selfless and dedicated" as Zhang Yuan.
Speaking of which, he actually has two bluffing skills, which are specially used to deal with old fritters and prickly heads on construction sites.
One door is for building walls, and the other is for painting.
If you are dissatisfied with the management and say that the management team does not know how to operate and will only act blindly, let's practice.
He once met two weirdos at a construction site during his internship. One was wearing white clothes and building walls, and the other was wearing a black suit and painting.
You know, both of these jobs are very easy to get dirty, but these two gods are different, they can be spotless after a day's work.
This is called masters among the people!
Back then, he learned from others through hard work. When they saw that he was a college student, they were still so polite and offered him cigarettes and tea. Besides, they would not choke on him in the future, so they taught him everything he had.
After resurrecting his life, he still conquered many workers with his skills. Sure enough, he had a skill that he could put to good use.
After a night's rest, the crew held a start-up ceremony the next morning.
It was extremely lively, and there was a sense of joy in it.
Zhang Yuan has become accustomed to the power-on ceremony, but he doesn’t have much feelings about it.
However, after the official start-up, two more "masters" arrived.
Yu Chenghui, who plays Master Mei Niansheng in the film, met Zhang Yuan during the audition.
Teacher Ji Chunhua, who plays the villain Blood Knife Ancestor, is even more familiar. The two had known each other for a long time on the set of "Dragon" and had several scenes together.
"Teacher Ji!" Zhang Yuan saw this fierce bald man and stepped forward with a smile to say hello.
Although Ji Chunhua is always angry and resentful, he has a very easy-going temper.
And people are not born like this.
Ji Chunhua has practiced martial arts since he was a child. After his nose was injured and infected during a practice, his family prepared traditional Chinese medicine for him.
Seeing that the casserole at home was broken, I was in a hurry, so I cooked the medicine in an aluminum pot.
Unexpectedly, there was a chemical reaction between the medicine and the pot. After eating, Ji Chunhua lost all his hair and eyebrows, and his face became increasingly sinister.
Especially after entering the entertainment industry, because of his special appearance, he has always been shown as a villain.
"Old Yu." The two of them were reminiscing about old times. When they saw the gray-bearded Yu Chenghui coming, they hurriedly said hello respectfully.
"Chunhua is good." The old man smiled rarely when he saw his old friend.
"Oh, Zhang Yuan is here too. He looks more energetic than before." Yu Chenghui patted him on the shoulder.
Huh?
Ji Chunhua was stunned.
The old man has always cherished words like gold, and he has a character that can do things without making a fuss.
But after meeting Zhang Yuan, he was even more enthusiastic than when he met me.
"Yu Lao, what are the packages on your back?"
While Ji Chunhua was still struggling, Zhang Yuan saw the old man carrying something behind his back, wrapped in rough linoleum. long object.
“Oh, this is my gun shaft.” After saying that, the old man took off the package and spread the linoleum, revealing a thick wooden gun shaft.
The old man held it in his hand and shook it gently. The wooden pole trembled and looked very strong.
And the entire gun barrel looks extremely shiny. It is not the kind of gloss that comes with varnish, but the warm and moist color that has been completely coated after years of use.
There is no gun head on the wooden pole, it should have been removed, otherwise it would be inconvenient to transport.
"Yu Lao, you are a good thing." Zhang Yuan immediately praised.
"Hahaha...it's not worth it, just used to it." The old man licked his beard: "This old man has been with me for almost thirty years."
It is said that people become nostalgic as they get older.
Yu Chenghui, whose beard and hair are now white, looks at the gun in his hand, as if he is looking at his own child, with great affection.
"Let's talk later. I'll go and store my things first." After Yu Chenghui finished speaking, he left alone.
"Zhang Yuan, do you know Mr. Yu?" Ji Chunhua asked suspiciously when he saw the old man walking away.
“We met once during the audition.”
"No?" Teacher Ji touched his bald head and said puzzledly: "I have known him for more than 20 years. This is the first time I see him being so enthusiastic about a junior. I thought you had a personal relationship with him."
The crew was ready in a short while.
From the beginning, there is a fight scene.
Master Mei Niansheng versus the Blood Knife Ancestor!
Logically speaking, this is a very intense fight scene, and the two actors have to coordinate their moves before filming starts.
But that's for ordinary people.
Yu Chenghui and Ji Chunhua are both masters of boy kung fu, and both have real kung fu in their bodies.
Not only that, they are old acquaintances and have worked together many times, so they are already familiar with each other.
Everyone is familiar with "Shaolin Temple", a milestone in Chinese martial arts films.
But what most people don’t know is that this movie with extremely exciting fighting scenes actually has no martial arts at all!
Yes, there is no martial arts director in this film, all actions are designed by the actors themselves.
Of course, this film is the only one that is qualified to do this. After all, as soon as the cast list was pulled out, half of the crew were martial arts masters, including these two.
Besides, these two have already served as martial arts directors. In the film, the martial arts directors have to call them "senpai" when they see them. That's nonsense.
"Let go a little later. Don't pull the wire rope too tight, which will affect the performance of Yu Lao and I." Teacher Ji and the martial arts instructors warned.
“Okay!”
That's what he said, but the martial arts commanders didn't dare to relax.
The two of them didn’t even know how to move. They made a few gestures before the shooting started and were ready to take action. It was so scary!
But when the assistant director called to start, several military commanders realized that they had been worrying too much.
In this scene, two people are fighting on the ground, pure hand-to-hand combat, without special effects assistance.
There were constant sounds of swords clashing in front of the camera. The two of them exchanged moves. Once they started fighting, they were furious, but they both kept their back hands with ease and did not hurt each other at all.
Especially Mr. Yu Chenghui, who is clearly over sixty years old, but his skills do not look old at all and are still extremely dexterous.
"Stuck! Go to Wia." Wang Xinming nodded vigorously. He was indeed an expert. The shooting was so smooth.
Zhang Yuan on the side also saw for the first time that the preparation for a fight was so casual, but the fight was so precise and intense.
Especially when he saw the two of them fighting, he wanted to call Jet Li.
"Jueyuan, Vulture and Wang Renze are starting to fight!"
"It seems that these two are the real masters!" Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them.
"If we don't make these two bald, this crew will be in vain... Although Teacher Ji Chunhua seems to be bald."
After finishing Wia, the movements of these two It became more intense.
Sometimes they are in the sky, and the next time they are on the ground, they are still posing in the air, which is full of style.
"It's so smooth, so smooth..." Director Wang Xinming sighed on the sidelines.
The scene went so smoothly that he forgot the unpleasantness of yesterday.
But God always likes to play pranks, and what he loves most is to give humans a hard time when they think everything is going smoothly.
Ji Chunhua and Yu Chenghui are indeed masters, but they can't keep up with their physical fitness after shooting these intense fight scenes for several hours.
As soon as your physical fitness cannot keep up, your energy will become sluggish and your concentration will no longer be concentrated.
Just in time, this scene showed the Blood Knife Ancestor attacking Mei Niansheng’s lower body with a sliding shovel.
According to the action design, both actors are wearing wires, and Yu Chenghui will be pulled up before being kicked, creating the effect of jumping in the air.
Ji Chunhua will slide forward all the way, then turn around and use the knife to steady his body, and once again pounce on the enemy like a tiger.
If the two of them cooperate well, this action is not difficult.
When the shooting officially started, Teacher Ji slipped and shoveled, no problem.
Yu Lao takes off, no problem.
Teacher Ji slipped out... and there were a million little problems.
The slide was perfect, but he didn't pay attention. After his body tilted a little, the direction of the slide was a little off.
It was supposed to slide to an open space, but it deviated slightly to the right by about ten degrees.
Then... a big tree appeared in front of him! (End of this chapter)
