Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry.

Chapter 484 Mingmei Was Stung by a Scorpion

Just inside the school, the crew set up a simple stage on the playground and pulled up banners.The difference is that this time the main actors all met the media reporters in the ancient costumes in the movie.

Of course, at the same time accepting interviews with reporters.

Yu Dongqing waived it on her own, and asked Li Wan to come forward for all interviews.

At ten o'clock, under the leadership of Yu Dongqing, all the main creators of the crew offered incense one by one, and then Li Wan delivered an enthusiastic speech on behalf of the whole crew, and finally Yu Dongqing, Li Wan and several main actors unveiled the cover on the A piece of red cloth on the camera, the whole ceremony is over.

The next step is to officially enter the shooting stage.

It's the beginning of autumn now, and the weather is still relatively hot at noon these days, but it's cool in the morning and evening, so Yu Dongqing decided to hurry up in the morning and evening, and rest in the dormitory that was temporarily remodeled in the school classroom when it was too hot at noon.

First shoot bright scenes.

It is more troublesome to bring a baby to the crew. According to Yu Dongqing's idea, she should be filmed first, and then she can leave the crew and return to Yanjing.

Unexpectedly, an accident occurred on the first day of filming.

The shots taken today were simple.

The lonely smoke in the desert.

Bright girl disguised as a man wearing a gray robe, and Ouyang Feng's actor Shu Wenrong stood on a sandy slope holding a sword.

A blower is hidden on the side of the sand slope, blowing up the yellow sand all over the sky, and the long hair of the two is also flying in the wind.

Following director Yu Dongqing's "CUT!", the two began to play against each other,
It's actually a long conversation.

Murong Yan: I want you to help me kill someone.His name is Huang Yaoshi.

Ouyang Feng: He is one of the best swordsmen today, I think it is not easy to kill him.

Murong Yan: As long as I can kill him, I will pay any price.But I have a condition, he must die by my hands, and it is the most painful way to die.

Ouyang Feng: Why do you hate him so much?
Murong Yan: Because of a woman, he abandoned my sister.

In just a few words, Yu Dongqing had to shoot this shot several times.

The changes in surrounding light and the actors' micro-expressions must be in place.

"No, do it again! Mingmei, turn her face slightly to this side, the light has moved!" Yu Dongqing shouted at her daughter-in-law.

Bright nodded.

She is not impatient.

She was already filming the last "Swordsman" and got used to the harshness of Yu Dongqing's filming.

Compared with the last filming, I soaked in the water for more than half an hour in the cold weather. What is the wind and sand?
It's a big deal to go back to the hotel at night and take a good hot shower.

As everyone knows, danger comes quietly.

I don't know if it was disturbed by the sound of the blower or the shooting, a scorpion wobbled out of the sandy bottom and crawled towards Mingmei's feet.

Mingmei wears the cloth shoes of ancient times, and the weather is relatively hot, and she doesn't wear thick coarse cloth socks - she feels something rustling along the back of her feet.

She couldn't help lowering her head, her face paled in fright.

"Ah!" I shrank my feet and couldn't help screaming.

The scorpion was actually just passing by, but when Mingmei yelled back, he was immediately frightened, and raised his big pliers to pinch her instep hard!
"Ah" Mingmei screamed again.

"What's wrong?!"

Shu Wenrong, who was filming with her, first noticed something wrong with Mingmei's feet, and kicked the scorpion away. Yu Dongqing and others, including the doctors and nurses temporarily hired by the crew, also ran over.

"She was stung by a scorpion!"

"Which foot? Quick! Find a bandage and wrap it around the ankle first to prevent the blood from flowing up. I don't have any medicine to treat scorpion stings here. Send it to the school for simple treatment first, and then send it to the urban hospital." The doctor said.

The nurse had wrapped up Mingmei's ankle according to the doctor's request. The doctor told you to continue filming, and we sent the injured to the hospital on a stretcher.

But where can Yu Dongqing rest assured?

When the filming was interrupted, Yu Dongqing followed the medical staff, and there was a duty vehicle from the crew below, and they were immediately sent to the school in the village.

Wang Laifu ran over when he heard that an actor was injured. Seeing that Mingmei took off her shoes and socks, there was a bruise on her snow-white instep, and said with a smile:
"It's okay. We are often bitten by scorpions here. It's not serious if the skin is a little bit broken. Wash the wound with clean water. My family has a special herbal medicine for scorpion stings. I'll apply it on you and you'll be fine."

After finishing speaking, she hurried out of the school, took a box of herbal medicine within a few minutes, the doctor had rinsed the instep, Wang Laifu carefully applied the herbal medicine, Mingmei suddenly felt the burning pain on the instep disappeared a lot.

However, Yu Dongqing was still worried, and asked the doctor to send Mingmei back to the hotel in the city to rest and go to the hospital for a checkup.

Li Wan went to the city to do some errands and just rushed back to the village, and was surprised to hear that this happened.

There will be various unexpected accidents when shooting on location, but I didn't expect that someone would be injured on the first day - it was a bad omen.

Of course this cannot be said.

Mingmei was injured, so Yu Dongqing had to switch to other people's scenes, and stayed busy until evening before going back to the hotel with everyone.

Yu Dongqing hurried back to his room - he lived with Mingmei, and saw Mingmei hugging her son, playing with the child, her feet were wrapped in thick bandages, and the little nanny Xiaxia was watching.

"Did you go to the hospital and the doctor said anything?" Yu Dongqing asked with concern.

"The doctor said I'm fine, and prescribed some anti-inflammatory drugs for me, saying that I'll be fine after two days of rest." Mingmei replied, and then asked: "How about filming later?"

"It's going well, you should have a good rest these days."

"It's okay, take a day off tomorrow, and I will start work the day after tomorrow."

Sure enough, only one day later, Mingmei appeared in the village and continued filming.

It was just an accident that Mingmei was stung by a scorpion. The staff behind the crew paid attention to this problem and checked the environment of the location before filming. There has never been such an accident again.

Although Mingmei suffered a little pain, it also brought benefits - the director's daughter-in-law is not afraid of hardships, and she continued to persevere with her child after being injured. What else can others say?
The exterior scene of "East and West Poison" is very simple, with dilapidated thatched houses, white curtains, birdcages, and an ancient castle nearby
The entire crew filmed in this desolate scene during the day and sometimes at night.

In the original time and space, the movie "Evil, West Poison" was filmed intermittently for three years. Apart from the very high requirements for the actors' acting skills and lighting and filming, one of the main reasons is that Wong Kar-wai did not have a script at all.

Thinking about shooting from one to the other, today I just stopped working without a good idea, or the filming yesterday was overturned today-in the words of Wong Kar Wai, after a night of thinking, it is better to shoot this way.

Yu Dongqing has a script, so she won't be filming for three years. Of course, it's not too fast, at least not as fast as "Swordsman".

In his words, keep improving.

Time quickly arrived in late September, and the weather turned cooler.
