Chapter 879: Serious Accident
Squeak –
There was a tooth-aching sound of metal grinding, and Matthew looked up at the front right, his pupils dilated instantly.
Less than fifteen meters in front is the scenic area of the studio, and thirty meters further in, where the crew has just created a few explosions where the light of the fire far outweighs the power, and now the shooting has ended, and the props crew is adjusting the set.
Some of the sets are hung on the roof of a converted studio in a hangar, and you have to take a lift to dismantle it.
It was the elevator that made the tooth-sore sound.
The lift is out of order!
From Matthew looking up, it didn't even take two seconds to lift the side of the lift to break away from the fixed dumping.
The place where the elevator with the metal fence was attached to the support frame suddenly fell off and rushed towards the ground like a meteorite that had fallen into the atmosphere, but fortunately, someone had just reminded that the people on the ground had quickly dispersed.
But!
There is a prop master on the lift......
Just as everyone was watching, screams rang out.
Bang Dong –
Then there was the loud sound of the lift slamming on the ground.
The heavy elevator fell from a height of more than twenty meters and slammed into the ground, even the ground trembled, and the water cup on the table next to Matthew directly fell over, and the water flowed out in a loud voice.
But no one looked at the cups, let alone the water.
All eyes, including Matthew, fell on the deformed elevator and the prop master in the elevator fence.
The prop master wears a hard hat, which makes people unable to see his face clearly, but his weirdly twisted body still clearly tells the people around him that a serious accident has happened.
Most of the people were still stunned, but Matthew came to his senses and shouted, "Hurry up!"
He turned to the assistant on the left and said, "Call the emergency number!" and then to the person on the right, "Go find the crew doctor!"
Matthew then ran towards the scene of the accident.
More people woke up from their surprise, and the people from the props team who had dispersed before the ground quickly rushed to the elevator to see how their colleagues were doing.
Matthew took a deep breath to calm himself down, and soon came to the vicinity of the elevator, and saw the prop master's twisted body, the blood flowing out, and the broken bones on his legs that pierced through the flesh, and a feeling of discomfort welled up in his heart.
However, he had seen tragic scenes, and even almost shot and killed people, and he could finally suppress them.
After many people saw it, they covered their mouths and ran to the side, and then there were vomiting sounds one after another.
The injuries are too serious!
The crew doctor ran over at this time, shouting as he ran, "Don't move!
Simple first aid common sense is still understood, no one in the crew rashly moved the body of the injured, in this case, moving the injured is very likely to cause secondary injury, and serious injuries may become death.
The doctor rushed to the elevator, Matthew frowned and didn't say a word, after so many years of filming, he has seen countless accidents in the crew, this is undoubtedly the most serious one.
The prop master's body kept twitching, and with each convulsion, a lot of blood flowed out, and the pungent smell of blood kept many people away from here.
Soon, the doctor finished his examination and walked over to director and first producer Stephen Sommers.
Matthew also walked over, just in time to see the crew doctor slowly shaking his head at Stephen Sommers.
What this means, you can guess without saying it.
Including Matthew and Stephen Sommers, everyone on the crew had a bit of a heavy face, and it was difficult to completely avoid filming accidents, but no one wanted to see such a serious accident happen.
Ten minutes later, the first responders arrived, and after a routine check, they announced that the prop master was dead.
The filming of the crew had to be suspended, Stephen Sommos gave a gag order, and most of the crew was given time off, and Matthew hung up the position of producer, and then participated in Stephen Sommers' discussion and processing meeting with Paramount Pictures and Hasbro.
In the event of a fatal accident, it is impossible to conceal it, the filming of the crew will be suspended for a period of time, and then there will be a series of investigation procedures that must be followed by industry unions and the police.
The police said that after all, it was an accident, and the trade unions were the real trouble, and the trade unions of various professions in Hollywood were never decorations.
There are also family members who need to deal with it properly.
If these things are not handled well in a day, the crew will not be able to shoot for a day.
Matthew just sat in on the meeting, so he didn't need to deal with these things, understand the specific situation, and make appropriate adjustments for the next work.
The crew acted very quickly, trying to gain the initiative for themselves as much as possible, and before the news spread, a press conference was called that day to make a statement about the accident.
"A few days ago, crew member Mick Huble fell due to an accidental tipping of the elevator while disassembling the set, and we would like to express our deepest condolences and sincerest condolences to Mick's family. ”
The crew also solemnly promised, "It is our primary responsibility to ensure the safety of all crew members, and we are now fully assisting the investigation agency in investigating this accident." ”
The accident did not make much waves, the crew gave the prop master's family a high enough condolence payment, and if the family remained silent, they only needed to wait for the results of the investigation by the industry union and the police.
Recently, there have been quite a lot of accidents in Hollywood, such as the crew of "Resident Evil" and the crew of "The Expendables 2", and the accidents all resulted in deaths.
These also distracted the media from the accident.
In particular, the accident that occurred in the crew of "The Expendables 2" in November directly led to the death of Jett Lee's stunt double and another stuntman......
Although human lives are at stake, Hollywood stunt doubles have always been a high-risk job.
Because of the temporary suspension of filming, Matthew also left the crew to deal with his own work, in addition to work, Amber Heard frequently meets, of course Matthew will not refuse, and often take Amber Heard back to the manor for the night after work.
Amber Heard is proactive, dares to play and can play, and Matthew, with Amber Heard's consent, gradually develops the game between the two in a larger direction.
Ma built a games room with a wide range of equipment such as handcuffs and whips.
After using it twice, he noticed that Amber Heard seemed to be interested in these.
Amber Heard is a great playmate in every way, but there is one thing that makes Matthew a little wary.
Amber Heard always wanted to try out what it was like to fly after taking drugs with him.
Once, twice, three times, Matthew thought that Amber Heard had a serious drug addiction, but after he repeatedly refused sternly, Amber Heard kept trying to make him take drugs.
As a star who has risen from the bottom and doesn't know how many competitors he has counted along the way, Matthew smells something not quite right.
Hollywood has never been a pure land.
People like him never mind looking at the world with a malicious eye.
There is light in this world, and it is also very beautiful under the light, especially Hollywood, the glamorous side always makes people can't help but be intoxicated, but there is never a lack of ugliness behind the light.
Because he himself climbs up by any means, even if he smells a very faint smell that is not quite right, he will be vigilant.
Keanu Keewis once said publicly that in Hollywood, people are hypocritical and dirty.
That's true.
Matthew didn't question Amber Heard, still pretending not to know anything, and continued to play various games with Amber Heard, and the scale of the games became bigger and bigger.
But in private, he took out all the videos he had taken with Amber Heard and watched them carefully, and then found that Amber Heard had played at least nearly ten times since the beginning, and the bag of cocaine and the box of cigarettes she took out had never changed.
What does this mean? Amber Heard rarely touches these things in private! Or Amber Heard doesn't have a very serious drug addiction.
So why did Amber Heard seduce him so often to touch these things?
Matthew's mind immediately flashed the name of Scientology, could it be that after so many years, Scientology has not given up its plan to pull him into the Church?
Using drugs to control a person seems to be a good means.
It's a pity that a person who grew up under the red flag and has received countless drug education has an aversion to drugs that people here can't imagine.
After all, it's not surprising that Scientology is interested in him, after all, a billionaire can contribute a lot of money to them.
Matthew's first target of suspicion was Scientology.
He first met Amber Heard when he was in Scientology, and the Scientology wanted to use women to control him into the church.
Now that Amber Heard seems to be detached from Scientology on the surface, who can guarantee that there is still a connection in private?
It is said that the pot carried for Johnny Depp has a tendency to become a pit.
Of course, it is also possible that this is not the case, Amber Heard has no other meaning than to simply seek thrills.
But Matthew was always a cautious man.
"Brown, you've been there a few times to see Amber Heard. Matthew called in his bodyguard and personal assistant and asked, "Did you find anything special?"
Brown Williams thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, I send her back to Santa Monica every time." ”
Matthew thought about it for a moment and said, "I think she has another purpose. ”
Brown Williams didn't speak, but the reliable bodyguard couldn't help but complain in his heart: Which woman approached you didn't have an other purpose? If you continue like this, you will probably become another Hugh Hefner.
"Don't you have a comrade-in-arms as a private detective?" Matthew had used the other party once before, "find someone to check Amber Heard privately, don't alarm her." ”
Brown Williams nodded, "No problem. ”
This matter was quickly arranged, Matthew did not ask Amber Heard again for the time being, and there was still a lot of "Twilight" related work to be dealt with.
