Chapter 159: The Dream Is Shattered
Bai Ma Ningzi is a perfect chat partner, she has a gentle and cordial attitude, generous and decent, even if she chats with her about some ordinary things, it makes people feel very happy.
When Iori Murakami came over at night, he saw a different Rin Chihara than usualβhe was no longer smiling slightly, without that sense of subtlety and vigilance, but with a smile from the bottom of his heart, looking radiant.
This is a rare time for Chihara Rin, she can't bear to go in, she stood at the door of the ward and waited for a while before gently knocking on the hidden door, and said with a smile: "Excuse me." β
Hakuma Ningzi stopped, smiled and got up and bowed to welcome, while Chihara Rin was in the right mood and joked directly: "Come to see the patient, don't you even bring a bouquet of flowers?"
Iori Murakami was very polite to Hakuma Ningko, bowed to her and returned the salute, then sat on the edge of the bed, and asked with a smile, "Do you like flowers?" β
Rin Chihara shook his head, no longer joking, and asked with concern, "How is the situation on the crew's side?"
"I'm working overtime on the set to fix it, and maybe tomorrow the shooting will be back to normal. Murakami Iori has been busy dealing with the follow-up of the filming accident for more than a day, after all, Chihara Rin is lying down, and she is the only one who can call the shots, and she needs to come forward for many things, so she knows it very well, and smiled directly: "Don't worry about this, how do you feel?"
She also served Chihara Rinren, and her head was smashed, this guy didn't give first aid to himself, but covered his head and shed half of his body, giving priority to preventing further expansion of losses, and only lying down after making sure that it would not cause other additional disasters, and he got too much blood loss and added injury, while Chihara Rin pointed to his head and smiled: "You don't have to worry, everything is normal here." β
Iori Murakami was relieved: "That's good. β
Fortunately in the misfortune, there was no bloody incident such as an important companion becoming a fool or losing his memory, it was just a week and a half of lying down, which was acceptable, just as he magnified the vacation.
Rin Chihara also felt lucky, and there were no sequelae after being hit so hard, but he immediately asked with concern, "Are the other injured people okay?"
He asked Hakuma Ningzi, but Hakuma Ningzi didn't know the details, and Murakami Iori was stunned, looked at his face carefully, and found that he was in a good mental state, so he said softly: "Everyone else is nothing, I broke my foot, I broke my hand, I was bruised by the equipment, etc., I was treated as a work-related injury, it was Hitomi ......"
Chihara Rin frowned, glanced at Hakuma Ningzi, and found that she was sitting on the chaise longue in the distance reading, so he asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say that it was just a flesh wound?"
"It's a flesh wound. Murakami Iori didn't hide it, and sighed lightly: "But what she hurt was her face." β
"Face?"
"Yes. Murakami Iori pointed to her forehead, the corners of her eyes and her cheeks in turn, and said: "The steel rope of the flying roll scratched her in these three places, and the wound is still relatively deep, just like the wound on your calf, in addition, she was also smashed to her leg, and the bone was slightly cracked, but this is not a big problem, the doctor said that it will recover in about three weeks, and there will be no sequelae." β
At that time, only Rin Chihara and another staff member were in the hardest-hit area, Hitomi Konoe rushed in later, and the other staff member was lucky, only to be smashed and dislocated his shoulder, which was not as serious as the two of them.
Rin Chihara was silent for a while, and asked softly, "Will there be a scar?"
Iori Murakami nodded: "Yes." β
"Is the skin graft scheduled for surgery?"
"It's arranged. "Iori Murakami knows what looks mean to girls, and of course she won't be stingy in this regard.
Rin Chihara had nothing more to ask, and was stunned for a while before she said softly: "She has always wanted to be a good actress......"
Deep scar revision surgery is not a panacea, it is probably equivalent to a kind of scar transfer, for example, if you have a wound on your face and the skin cannot be restored to its original state, you cut a piece of skin from your butt to make up for it, but you say that it is 100% recovered, which is a problem in 2019, let alone 96 years.
What's more, a good actor's facial expressions should be rich and natural, then surgery on the face will definitely have a certain impact, which will make the expression look slightly unnatural or a little stiff - it doesn't matter in daily life, no one will keep staring at other people's faces carefully, but actors on camera, especially actresses on camera, the face is the focus, any audience will look carefully, and it is impossible to avoid it.
Murakami Iori naturally understands this truth, and was silent for a while before saying: "Let her develop into a professional behind-the-scenes personnel in the future, with you and me, she has a future." β
Rin Chihara nodded slowly, even if only from a moral point of view, he has some responsibility for Hitomi Konoe's injury, so there is no need to say, he must make amends, but things are not so simple - Hitomi Konoe is very similar to him, both have goals in life, and this kind of damage cannot be compensated for by money and future.
He asked in a low voice, "How is she feeling now?" and who is taking care of her?"
Miss Sakaizumi has been with her, and she is in a very low mood. β
Regardless of the severe pain in his legs, Rin Chihara began to forcibly get up and said directly, "I want to go over and take a look." β
Iori Murakami sighed, knowing what he was like, he didn't dissuade him much, after all, he would look like he was recovering well, and Hakuma Ninko had already gone to the nurse's station to find a wheelchair.
Soon Rin Chihara was moved to a wheelchair, Iori Murakami was still hesitating whether she should push the wheelchair or let Rin Chihara's "girlfriend" push it, Rin Chihara had already turned the wheel and went out of the door by himself, and they quickly chased after him.
The different treatment caused by this status can be seen with the naked eye, Konoe Hitomi and Chihara Rin suffered a work injury together, but Chihara Rin lives in a luxury single room, Konoe Hitomi can only live in a double ward, Chihara Rin took the elevator down five floors before arriving at the place, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that half of Konoe Hitomi's face was obliquely wrapped, and he was leaning on the bed in a daze.
Izumi Banquan, who was sitting beside the hospital bed, saw Rin Chihara coming in, and quickly got up and asked with concern, "Mr. Chihara, are you better?"
She also visited Rin Chihara, but Rin Chihara was sleeping at the time, and she didn't want to leave her friends for too long, so she took a look and left-if it weren't for Rin Chihara having a girlfriend, plus Hitomi Konoe also needed a friend to accompany her, she might have recommended herself to take care of Rin Chihara.
Rin Chihara smiled at her and said softly, "I'm fine, I'm sorry for you to take care of Hitomi, Miss Izumi." β
Banquan Izumi shook his head shyly: "Hitomi is my friend, this is what I should do." β
Rin Chihara didn't say anything, and went to Konoe Hitomi's bed in his wheelchair on his own, while Murakami and Hakuba simply didn't come, and Izumi Sakaizumi hesitated and retreated, and closed the curtain for them, leaving a space for them to talk alone.
Chihara Rin carefully looked at Konoe's wound at the bedside, but of course he couldn't see anything when he was wrapped in it, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but Konoe Hitomi glanced at him and said seriously: "I'm fine, Chihara-sensei, I'm very strong, and I don't regret it, you don't have to come and see me, you also have to take care of your injuries." β
Rin Chihara smiled, "I know, but I'm sure I'm still going to come to see you, how ......do you feel?"
He couldn't go on with half of the question, and became silent, and Konoe Hitomi gradually couldn't be stronger, and tears gradually appeared in her eyes, but she couldn't laugh or cry now, laughter would affect the wound, crying, her head was obliquely wrapped, one eye was also blocked, and she couldn't wipe her tears, so she endured it, just choked up: "Am I unable to return home?"
She didn't know what the specific after-effects of the injury were, but she asked the doctor, and the doctor couldn't guarantee that she would not leave any scars at all, and she had been in the production bureau for so long, and she hadn't seen an actress on the camera with a scar on her face - not even a small scar, let alone three on her face.
She felt that her dream was shattered, and she had worked hard for so long, because of an accident, her dream was shattered.
Rin Chihara still doesn't know what to say, work is work, private feelings are private feelings, an actress with scars on her face, even he won't choose her as the heroine - it's not his reality, it's the reality of the industry, it's the audience's reality, even if it's an action movie like "Resident Danger" and "Tomb Raider", the heroine also needs to be beautiful, even if she fights every day, there can be no flaws on her face, at most, the flesh and blood are blurred occasionally, just another day, or let the audience look pleasing to the eye.
TV series are the same, even more demanding than movies, and making TV series has never been a one-person job, even if Hitomi Konoe has trained his acting skills in the future, it is impossible for him to ask the entire creative team and working group to accept a heroine who will obviously affect the ratings - Hitomi Konoe hurt her face, and it is almost impossible to even get a supporting actress in the future, become famous as she used to think, and then go back to the village to show off her might.
Rin Chihara was silent for a long time before smiling and said, "Don't say anything sad, you can definitely return home!"
"But I'll never pass the audition, I'll be very ugly when I get on camera in the future!"
Rin Chihara calmed down and comforted carefully: "It's not okay to be famous and not to be an actor, how do you think of Miss Murakami? You aim for her, and then start working hard, and win awards in the future, people in your village can still see you on TV, and they will still praise you for being amazing and doing a great job." β
Konoe Hitomi was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said in frustration: "Miss Murakami is a famous student, I have no education, I haven't finished college, we are different, Mr. Chihara, I will never be able to do what Miss Murakami does, I can't do what she does, I can't manage people, I can't speak, I don't understand those connections." β
After she finished speaking, she wiped the tears in one of her eyes that was exposed, became strong again, and said seriously: "Don't comfort me, Chihara-sensei, I know that my dream is broken, and I am ready to go back to the village, maybe grandma is right, people like me should not have wishful thinking, it is enough to live a peaceful life as a sea girl." Don't feel guilty either, I shouldn't have gone there at that time, I didn't help you and made you sad, please don't take it personally. β
After a pause, she squeezed out a smile: "You really don't have to take it to heart, I'm very happy to be able to stay in Tokyo for a year, and after a long experience, I have also met you, Miss Murakami and many good friends, and you will also make better works in the future, and then I will point to the TV and tell the people in the village that I worked under you, and that is very glorious!"
At the end of her speech, she showed a sincere smile, and seemed to be back to her usual cheerfulness, and even pushed Rin Chihara's wheelchair, signaling him to hurry back and rest, and Rin Chihara sighed deeply and directly stuck the wheels of the wheelchair - he didn't go, and he didn't want Hitomi Konoe to go.
