"How's it going, how's it going?" At the filming location of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", I saw the crew members coming from all directions, asking nervously and worriedly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Okay, okay, there's nothing to see, get out of the way for me, and let the doctor come quickly." Looking at more and more people, Gore? Verbinski frowned and yelled loudly.
"Here it is, here comes the doctor!" In half a minute, I don't know who it is, anyway, Han Quanyou only saw a middle-aged man in his thirties, and hurriedly came with a first-aid kit.
"How?" In a minute, when the doctor stood up after the examination, Gore? Verbinsky hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"This time the luck is good, it's just a broken bone, it's not a big problem." The doctor couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, wiped his forehead and said.
"Broken bones, that's good, that's good, as long as it's not a big deal, that's fine." Hear the doctor's answer, Gore? Verbinski nodded happily and said.
"Ok, director, I'll take the wounded to the station first, the fracture is not very serious, you don't need to go to the hospital, just let the injured rest for a while." Looking at Gore without a gnawing sound? Verbinski, the doctor couldn't help but suggest. For the doctor's proposal, Gore? Of course, Verbinsky did not have the slightest opinion, and immediately nodded in agreement, while letting several staff members carry the wounded away on stretchers.
"Okay, that's all for today, take a break!" As the wounded were carried away, he looked at the staff gathered around, Gore? Verbinsky couldn't help frowning, and finally said helplessly.
There was such an accident, I believe that now everyone has no heart to continue to work, since this is the case, then let's rest, why force it.
With Gore? With Vebinski's announcement, the staff also dispersed in twos and threes and began to talk non-stop, believing that the conversation between the staff would definitely be related to the accident just now.
"Johnny, isn't it, you tell me, how many times has this been?" The show ended, and Han Kwonwoo touched Johnny with his arm? Depp couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"I don't know, but it's definitely been more than ten times." Pull on the collar to let the sea breeze into his clothes to keep himself cooler, Johnny? Depp said a little depressed.
"Yes, it's been no less than ten times, why can't this security problem be solved!" Han Quanyou frowned, a little worried, and at the same time said a little depressed.
You know, when the crew left the studio and came to the Dominican Republic to start the official location shooting, nearly ten months have passed, and in this short period of time, unexpected things often happen.
This time the injured person only had a slight fracture, and it was already a great fortune in misfortune that he didn't even have to go to the hospital, before a staff member accidentally fell directly from a height of more than three meters, and suddenly fell into a coma, which made the crew panic for a while, and finally transported the injured back to the United States for treatment at the first time, fortunately, there was no danger to life.
Han Quanyou is really puzzled, why there are so many accidents in filming, you must know that this is not a small movie and a small production, but a big production produced with the full support of Disney, which is the best in all aspects, and the safety work has also been carefully investigated and inspected in advance, striving to eliminate potential dangers.
But even so, in ten months, more than 20 people were injured and there were more than 10 accidents, which also surprised Han Quanyou. If there had not been a prior investigation and elimination of safety work, I am afraid that it would not have been as simple as more than 10 times and more than 20 injuries.
At this time, Han Quanyou somewhat understood why Bruce Lee's son died in an accident while filming a movie, and there are too many potential dangers when filming movies, especially when props and real location shooting.
"Okay Lee, don't think too much, this kind of thing is normal, you must know that when we were filming the first part, there were many accidents, and even because of an inattention, the boat hit the rock, and almost killed dozens of staff members in the sea."
Looking at Han Kwonwoo who bowed his head and was silent, Johnny? Depp couldn't help patting Han Kwonwoo's shoulder and comforting, this kind of thing Johnny? Depp has also seen a lot, and he has long been numb and used to it.
You must know that when filming movies in the past, some stuntmen made mistakes, and the consequences were serious. Compared with the serious consequences of the stuntman's mistake, this time it was only a slight fracture, which can be regarded as a great blessing in misfortune.
"Hey~~~ Why is it so troublesome to make a movie, it's either a natural disaster or [***]!" Han Quanyou stood up, looked at the blue sky, and couldn't help but say depressedly.
You know, a few months ago, the crew was very cautious in filming, because as we entered the summer, this is a typhoon (hurricane) period. During this time, Han Quanyou finally experienced the powerful power of nature.
Almost since July, there has been a typhoon every month, which makes the crew either delay filming or bring great economic losses to the crew.
Among them, the craziest typhoon Katrina in August made a strong landfall from Louisiana, USA, bringing huge losses and casualties to the entire United States, and that time became the focus of the whole world's attention.
However, because the crew is in the Dominican Republic, although Typhoon Katrina is very terrifying, for the crew, because of the distance, the impact is not very big, but it only delays the normal filming of the crew.
But there is almost a terrifying typhoon every month, which also makes Han Quanyou feel very surprised, the United States is indeed the country with the most serious typhoon disaster in the world, just like the earthquake in Xiao Yuben, which definitely occupies the most in the world.
Think about Xiao Yueben, in the earthquake zone, nothing to do in a few days to shake once, in addition to the earthquake-proof quality of the building, basically the earthquake below the fifth magnitude is directly ignored, so that the people of the city have felt numb.
The same is true of the United States, the special geographical environment, especially the special environment of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, makes every summer, typhoon disasters continue to appear, making Americans accustomed to typhoons, and it is not surprising. However, it is a pity that this time Typhoon Katrina has taught the entire United States a harsh lesson. More than 1,800 people died alone, making it the worst natural disaster in the United States in the last decade.
"Forget it, just get used to it, maybe there will be another typhoon in October, if we are unlucky, maybe the typhoon will pass by us, and then it will be a big trouble." Knowing that in the east where Han Quanyou is located, similar typhoon disasters rarely occur, Johnny? Depp couldn't help but joke with joking comfort.
On October 15th, when the crew was still trying to concentrate on filming, Dennis's replacement, Simon, Disney's new commissioner, suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and told everyone a bad news very regrettably.
On October 15th, the tropical storm struck again, and I like that this time it is not the Gulf of Mexico, but the Atlantic Ocean, in fact, the hurricanes formed every year in the Atlantic Ocean are the most terrifying in the world, and they are also the local typhoons that bring the greatest impact and losses, and the first to bear the brunt is naturally the United States.
Typhoon Wilma, named Wilma, once again headed along the Atlantic Ocean toward the continental United States. It's a pity that this time Typhoon Weimar, from the current observation, will definitely pass through the Caribbean Sea, and it is very close to the filming place of the crew, when Typhoon Wilmar passes, it will not only affect the normal filming of the crew, but also bring incalculable serious losses, and even casualties.
Hearing this news, everyone was completely dumbfounded, but no matter how much opinion everyone has, it is impossible to make Typhoon Weimar disappear by resentment now, there is no way, everyone can only take measures to prevent typhoon disasters, suspend filming, and prepare to wait quietly for Typhoon Weimar to come.
The next day, that is, on October 16, Typhoon Wilmar began to officially come, although it is currently the smallest eye of the wind witnessed by NHC is only two kilometers away, after all, the typhoon is still a typhoon, with the passage of the Weimar, the whole world is in a trance and is shaking, and the black and terrifying black clouds are a good embodiment of the scene of the so-called black clouds crushing the city in an ancient Chinese poet.
In such weather, of course, it is impossible to continue filming, there is no way, all the crew members stayed in the non-stop hotel after going out strictly and privately, quietly waiting for the departure of Typhoon Weimar.
"Hey~~~lee, my friend, what are you doing?" At this point, Johnny? Depp walked into the room where Han Kwonwoo was with a grin, and watched Han Kwonwoo standing in front of the window and looking out the window, Johnny? Depp couldn't help but ask curiously.
Is there any view outside the window, crazy rainstorm, what is there to see.
"Nothing, just look at the power of the typhoon!" Looking at the crazy rainstorm, all the trees were blown to one side by the strong wind, and the raindrops the size of beans kept hitting the glass strongly, and it seemed that the whole world was about to shatter, Han Quanyou couldn't help but sigh at the powerful power of nature.
"Hey~~~ What's so nice about this." Johnny? Depp shook his head depressedly and sat casually on the sofa, for Johnny? Depp, an American, especially those who experienced the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1: The Curse of the Black Pearl", has seen a lot of typhoons and is used to it.
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just that in South Korea, where I'm located, it's rare to see such a strong typhoon." Feel Johnny? The disdain in Depp's tone, Han Quanyou smiled and explained.
However, after explaining, Han Quanyou was not standing in front of the window, but turned to Johnny? Depp sat down next to him. Because Han Kwon Woo knows, at this time Johnny? Depp came to find him, either to discuss with himself to have some fun to pass the time, or to discuss something important with him.
"Lee, my dear friend, don't overthink it, someone once said that there are two sides to everything. Although the appearance of the typhoon has brought huge losses to my country, these are the headaches that the political axe should go to, regardless of our business. The only thing that will affect us is that the filming will be extended, or that some of the locations that have already been set up will be devastated. ”
Speaking of which, Johnny? Depp couldn't help laughing, which suddenly made Han Quanyou sigh in his heart. Because Han Kwon Woo knows very well that every time Johnny? Depp laughs strangely for no reason, and will say or do something that is puzzling, even shocking.
"I am sad that the set up filming location has been hit by the destruction of the surname, but fortunately there is a deep-pocketed Disney, and we don't need to come out before, otherwise, I will really die of sadness. As for the delay in shooting, this is also true, but it is definitely not bad news for us. You have to know when we have had a break since the beginning of filming of the movie, and it is only since July, with the appearance of a typhoon in January, that we have a short break. It can be said that the appearance of typhoons not only did not affect us in any way, but on the contrary, it helped us a lot, so I love typhoons. ”
Hands held high and looking up at the ceiling, just like Captain Jack in the movie, Johnny? Depp said with a happy face.
"Uh~~~ too!" Although Johnny? Depp's words were a bit gloating, but they still made a lot of sense. Han Quanyou thought about it and couldn't help but smile and said, indeed, what does this have to do with himself, like Johnny? As Depp said, taking advantage of the appearance of the typhoon, everyone can still have a good rest, since this is the case, why should I think too much and live up to the good intentions of the typhoon.
