Chapter 138: Accidents
As everyone expected, the ratings of "The Voice of Asia" reached a new high of 33 points, while TVB's "Super Girl" ratings remained unchanged at 34 points, and no one doubts that the ratings of the next episode of "The Voice of Asia" will surpass "Super Girl".
In such an arduous environment, "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", which was pinned on by wireless, was officially launched on November 15 at 8 o'clock in the evening prime time, and the first broadcast created a super high rating of 41 points, and the ATV dramas in the same period could not be compared with it at all, and the ratings did not even reach 10 o'clock, which was simply miserable. This phenomenon has once again made everyone clearly understand the profound heritage of wireless.
However, ATV did not allow its image that had just begun to improve to be hit, and immediately announced that ATV would officially start broadcasting the annual finale drama "I Have a Date with a Zombie" supervised by Gu Chen on November 20, which made the entire media public opinion lively again.
As early as in Li's era, ATV and wireless were a pair of life and death enemies, in all aspects, you fight for me, but most of them are wireless who has the upper hand, and the more this trend is later, the more obvious this trend is, even if Qiu Degen's hand is slightly improved, this year's Asian sister is not far behind in the ratings compared with Hong Kong sister, but on the whole, it has not changed ATV's weak position, until Gu Chen entered the ATV board of directors, and a "Voice of Asia" launched immediately afterwards made everyone see the possibility of ATV changing its weak position.
Now in the face of the strong launch of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" by TVB, ATV's-for-tat launch of "I Have a Date with a Zombie" has undoubtedly pushed the ratings war that the two major TV stations have started long ago to a new peak. However, unlike the outside world's expectations for "I Have a Date with a Zombie", there is a tense atmosphere inside ATV, because the original expected premiere date of "I Have a Date with a Zombie" was November 25, and now in order to cope with the ignorance of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", it has to start five days in advance.
Don't underestimate these five days, this means that a TV series that has been determined to be filmed and broadcast from the beginning, and the time is already very tight, means that the filming plan needs to be readjusted. To this end, ATV has used almost all the resources it can use, and the crew has adopted two shifts and 24-hour uninterrupted shooting.
Even Gu Chen spends a lot of time on the set every day to supervise, mainly because he is worried that the quality will decline because of the schedule, which he will never allow, so he has emphasized many times on the set that the quality must be guaranteed, and he would rather postpone the start of the broadcast than come up with an inferior work.
In addition, because this drama needs some special effects shots, although there are not many such shots and it is relatively simple, but it is the first opportunity for special effects in the Tang Dynasty to practice, Zhao Tianqi naturally attaches great importance to it, and with ATV's decision to let "I Have a Date with a Zombie" start in advance, the special effects of the Tang Dynasty have to work overtime in order not to lag behind, and often Zhao Tianqi, the general manager, has to work overtime until midnight.
That night, Gu Chen came out of the set, sat in the car and was driving in the direction of home, since he was reprimanded by his mother last time, he would go home every two or three days, but before he got home, his eldest brother rang, and his face changed after a while: "How could this happen, didn't I repeatedly tell you to pay attention to the safety of filming, what are you doing to eat." ”
It was the first time for Ouyang Lan to see Gu Chen get so angry, her brows were tightly locked, and her sword eyebrows were raised, and she was frightened for no reason, thinking that it was the most terrible thing for people who were less angry to start a fire, and at the same time, it was strange what made Gu Chen, who had always shown a gentle face, so angry, listening to the content of the speech, it seemed that something had happened to the crew, could it be that someone was injured.
Li Zhuanglie's somewhat embarrassed voice came from the other side of the phone: "The safety work has been done very well, but I didn't expect ......"
"Okay, I don't want to hear you explain, the key now is how to deal with the aftermath, you immediately order it, and no one in the crew is allowed to be interviewed by reporters without my permission." After speaking, Gu Chen hung up the phone, and then said to the driver: "Turn around and go to Queen Mary Hospital." ”
Hearing this, Ouyang Lan knew that something must have happened to the Lu Dao crew, and it must not be as simple as who was injured, thinking of the more serious situation that might occur, her brows also frowned slightly, and she wanted to ask, but when she saw Gu Chen's eyebrows tightly closed, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
The bodyguard captain Ah Long, who was in the same car with Gu Chen, also heard Gu Chen's conversation, and knew that the matter was urgent, and he didn't need Gu Chen's instructions, so he picked up the walkie-talkie and said a few words, and the car carrying the bodyguard in front of him immediately raised the speed, and the two cars ran quickly on the road......
Outside Queen Mary Hospital, a large number of reporters who had heard the news had gathered at some point, and they seemed to be waiting for something, when suddenly a reporter pointed to the entrance of the hospital and shouted: "Look, it's Chen Shao's car." ”
The car slowly stopped at the entrance of the hospital, and as soon as Gu Chen stepped out of the car under the protection of his bodyguards, he was immediately surrounded by reporters:
"Chen Shao, I heard that an actor died in an accident on the filming site of "I Have a Date with a Zombie", is there such a thing?"
"Will this accident affect the start date of "I Have a Date with a Zombie"?"
"I heard that the actor who died unexpectedly was He Jiajin, a signed artist of ATV, can Chen Shao confirm it."
“……”
No matter how the reporter asked, Gu Chen was calm and silent, forcibly passed the reporter's block under the protection of the bodyguard, and as soon as he entered the emergency hall, he saw Li Zhuanglie, who had arrived one step earlier and was waiting for him, the two walked towards the rescue room, Li Zhuanglie introduced the current situation to Gu Chen: "He Jiajin was only slightly injured, and he was fine after a few days of rest, Liu Songren's stand-in was seriously injured, and he is still in the rescue room." ”
"How could this happen?"
"That's the case, what I just filmed was a scene where Tianyou and Kazuo Yamamoto fought on the roof, and then jumped off the roof together, because Kazuo Yamamoto appeared in the camera when he jumped down was just the back, so he used a stand-in, who knew that He Jiajin and the dragon and tiger martial artist jumped off and somehow collided together, He Jiajin was lucky to fall on the air mattress and then bounced to the ground, only a little bruised, and the dragon and tiger martial artist fell directly to the ground, and fell into a coma on the spot, You also know that there have been reporters squatting outside the crew for a while recently......"
"I'll talk about other things later, but the priority now is to do everything we can to save the wounded." At this time, the two had already walked outside the rescue room, the light in the rescue room was still on, and there were many people sitting outside, including the crew of the crew, including He Jiajin, who had a bruise on his left cheek, and the family and friends of the dragon and tiger martial artist.
"Chen Shao, this ......" A middle-aged man stood up with a somewhat unnatural face, although the weather in mid-November was already a little cold, but his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his anxiety and nervousness were obvious. He is one of the two directors of "I Have a Date with a Zombie", and he is also the director of tonight, no matter what the cause of this accident is, he as a director has an unshirkable responsibility.
Gu Chen glanced at him lightly, and was about to say something, when a middle-aged woman suddenly knelt in front of him and cried: "Chen Shao, please, you must save my son, I am such a son, his father went early, if he has three longs and two shorts, how can I live." ”
The helpless and grieving appearance of the middle-aged woman deeply touched Gu Chen's heart, he could understand the mood of the middle-aged woman at this moment, and hurriedly pushed away the bodyguard who was blocking him, helped the middle-aged woman up, and said warmly: "Auntie, don't worry, we will definitely do our best." ”
At this time, the lights in the emergency room went out, and an old doctor in a white coat walked out, and the middle-aged woman stepped forward and grabbed the old doctor's hand, and asked eagerly, "Doctor, how is my son?" ”
The old doctor took off his mask and said with a heavy face: "The rescue was successful, but the injured person had multiple comminuted fractures all over his body...... Alas......"
"Auntie, aunt......" The middle-aged woman fainted on the spot when she heard the news, and several young people next to her who were also in the crew as dragon and tiger martial artists hurriedly supported him.
"Don't panic, she's overly sad, send her to the ward first."
“……”
In a hurry, the middle-aged woman was sent to the ward, and then the door of the emergency room was opened again, and a hospital bed was pushed out, and on the hospital bed lay a young man in his early twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked quite handsome, but now his eyes were closed, and he was not aware of the slightest consciousness, and he did not know that he might spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
Gu Chen's face was gloomy and terrifying, he thought of the young Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist's future life, and also thought of the negative impact this incident would have on ATV and "I Have a Date with a Zombie".
If "I Have a Date with a Zombie" hadn't received special attention from the media, and if tonight's accident hadn't been exposed by the media at the first time, ATV could have operated in secret, after all, it is common for Dragon and Tiger martial artists to be injured during filming, but this time the injury was particularly serious.
But if all the things are not true now, the media will definitely report on this matter tomorrow, in order to give an explanation to the public and the family, someone must come out to take responsibility for this matter, so he glanced at the middle-aged director and said lightly: "Director Zhao, you don't have to come to ATV to work in the future." Director Li, you find a new director in the company to take over the work of Director Zhao, if there is no suitable candidate, you will temporarily be in charge of his work until you find a suitable director. In a word, it is better to have less than to overuse. ”
