Gu Chen's words made Director Zhao's face suddenly pale, he knew that Gu Chen would make this decision for him, but it didn't mean that he could accept it. There are only two TV stations in Hong Kong, ATV doesn't want him anymore, and TVB may not necessarily take him in, even if he is taken in, TVB is full of talents, and he may not be able to get ahead as an outsider. Of course, he can also turn to the film industry to develop, but who would ask him, who has no film directing experience and declares that he is not in a bad position to make a movie. It can be said that Gu Chen's words almost cut off his path to directing.

Li Zhuanglie was a little unbearable, and wanted to plead with Gu Chen, but he didn't know how to speak, because Gu Chen's decision was not wrong, someone must come out to be responsible for this matter, and the most suitable person in charge is the person in charge of the scene, that is, the director of the scene.

In the end, he could only sigh and said: "It's good, I will handle this matter well, and it will never affect the normal filming schedule of the series." ”

Gu Chen remembered something: "Does Old Qiu know about this matter?" ”

Only then did Li Zhuanglie remember that Qiu Degen didn't know about it: "I haven't had time to tell him about it yet." ”

Gu Chen nodded and said, "I will tell him in person, you go and negotiate with the hospital now, borrow an empty room from the hospital, and hold a press conference later." ”

Fortunately, it happened not long ago, and it happened to be night, which gave him the opportunity to change the direction of public opinion, and he must give a satisfactory explanation to the media, the public, and the families of the injured before dawn tomorrow. Li Zhuanglie also knew that the time was urgent, so he left quickly after responding.

Taking over the eldest brother from Ouyang Lan, Gu Chen dialed Qiu Degen's phone, told him what had just happened, and discussed how to deal with it.

In fact, this matter is like a blessing for "I Have a Date with a Zombie", in the media environment, whether it is a good report or a bad report, as long as it is in the newspaper, it is a kind of propaganda, which can help the ratings, after all, people are curious, which is more obvious in TV series, because it does not need to spend money to buy tickets to watch like movies.

More than half an hour later, in a large room temporarily vacated by the hospital, many reporters were waiting, and there were more reporters at this time than Gu Chen had met at the door when he came to the hospital, not to mention thirty or forty, which filled the entire room. While many reporters were anxiously waiting, Gu Chen and Li Zhuanglie walked into the room one after the other, and then the two sat behind two tables that served as rostrums.

Li Zhuanglie first said: "Everyone, please be quiet, I believe that the reporters and friends present have heard that just over an hour ago, an ......accident occurred at the filming site of ATV's "I Have a Date with a Zombie" Li Zhuanglie introduced the accident in detail, and then continued: "This accident caused a slight injury to ATV's contracted artist He Jiajin, a dragon and tiger martial artist, and no one died as rumored, this is what I want to report, and now I invite Chen Shao, executive vice chairman of the board of directors of ATV, to speak." ”

Gu Chen's expression was a little heavy, he glanced around at the reporter in front of him, and said: "First of all, I want to emphasize that the various equipment and work rules used by ATV to shoot TV series are completely in line with industry standards, and the safety of actors and crew is the first consideration of ATV when filming,"

"I'm not saying this to pass the buck. On the contrary, it just proves that ATV is a television station that is responsible for all its actors and employees. I don't want to say how many similar accidents happen in Hong Kong every day, I just want to say that nothing in this world is perfect, just like the most sophisticated mechanical watch, it also has a day of strike. ”

Just as Gu Chen said, similar things happen every day in Hong Kong, and there have even been deaths, but most of the dragon and tiger martial artists are just compensated for some medical expenses or funeral expenses, and I have never heard of anyone who can get a sky-high compensation of 2 million. This is the real status quo of the life of Hong Kong dragon and tiger martial artists, they are stumbling and crawling in the entertainment industry, and every point they earn is hard-earned money, but they are not given the respect they deserve.

"Of course, it has already happened, and no amount of talk can be said about it. However, in order to give an explanation to the society and the family, ATV still decided to fire the on-site director at the time of the incident, and he was at least responsible for supervision. At the same time, ATV will be responsible for the injured Dragon and Tiger Warrior to the end, not only bearing all the medical expenses, but also giving him a compensation of 1 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition, as the producer of "I Have a Date with a Zombie", I also have an unshirkable responsibility, on the basis of the 1 million Hong Kong dollars compensation given by ATV, I personally add another 1 million compensation. ”

As soon as these words came out, the reporters immediately started to discuss it, you must know that in this era when the salary of big-name stars is only a few hundred thousand, the compensation of 2 million Hong Kong dollars is definitely sky-high for a dragon and tiger martial artist, and he is also responsible for all medical expenses. ATV and Gu Chen not only did not shirk their responsibilities after the incident, but instead made such a positive gesture, which can be said to be benevolent and righteous to that Dragon and Tiger Martial Master.

"Although it seems a bit vulgar to talk about money, it is undeniable that people can't live without this kind of copper-smelling thing, especially for a person who may have left a physical defect from then on, and this is the only thing we can do for this dragon and tiger martial artist."

"Finally, I would like to say that I am probably very concerned about something, and despite such a heart-wrenching incident, the filming and broadcasting plan of "I Have a Date with a Zombie" will not change anything. Well, that's it for the press conference, thank you very much for attending. ”

Hearing this, all the reporters immediately rushed up, they still had many questions to ask, how could they let Gu Chen leave like this, but the place where Gu Chen and Li Zhuanglie were sitting was originally close to the door, and there were bodyguards blocking the reporters, Gu Chen and the two still left the room smoothly......

The next day, the shooting accident of ATV undoubtedly became the headline of major newspapers, and most of the newspapers' reports and comments were relatively objective, and generally praised ATV and Gu Chen for their attitude towards handling the incident. However, some people did not buy Gu Chen's account, questioning that since ATV puts the safety of actors and employees in the first place, why not use a larger air mattress bed, in which case the accident can be completely avoided.
