Chapter 27 Accidents(1/2)

Wang Yaqin looked at the rearview mirror and looked at the gangster who was thrown into the dusty face behind and looked around in a daze. She grinned and said, "Haha, fortunately I reacted quickly."

Xiao Zhang patted his chest, withdrew his gaze, and said with lingering fear: "Teacher Xu, I see that many of them are holding knives. By the way, do you mean that they will come back tomorrow?"

Xu Rong closed the car window and said, "Don't worry, our crew's old fried dough sticks will encounter more than once or twice when they encounter similar things. I guess they will be able to settle them tonight."

If it is a remote place, you may have to spend some money to handle it, but now the crew is at the hands of the emperor and the investors are still various TV stations, so there must be a way to deal with it.

In fact, there are some things that Xu Rong can't say. Wang Yaqin has followed the crew and should know the root cause behind the current situation. Xiao Zhang is better protected by him, and he is basically completely disgusted with the filth at the bottom of the film and television industry.

This is also the reason why he doesn't like filming in Beijing.

Compared with Hengdian, which has already formed a scale and uses it as its main industry, Fengtai's base not only has fewer scenes, but also has a much worse scale and overall quality.

Unlike Hengdian, the extras in Beijing are divided into courtyards. Of course, this courtyard is not the other courtyard, but a place to manage extras. Here, the group head is also called the courtyard head.

It is also a special phenomenon that has only formed in the past two or three years.

In the early years, before the Beijing Film Studio moved out, most of the extras were looking for jobs, so they gathered at the entrance of the Beijing Film Studio, waiting for the crew to issue notices, and the actors and deputy directors chose people.

When Xu Rong first came to the capital five years ago, he was also one of them.

However, there was a clear difference at that time compared to now. At that time, the extras lacked management, which was equivalent to doing odd jobs.

However, since the Huairou base began to be put into use, the era of hundreds of extras squatting at the entrance of the Beijing Film Studio is gone forever. Instead, extras or local local snakes with certain connections in the capital have transformed into the identity of "the head of the courtyard".

It also completely monopolizes the crew's group performances.

With the middlemen making a difference, some extras simply switch careers or go elsewhere to make a living, because they get less money than before.

This also led to the extremely embarrassing problem of these extras. They are alive but not enough staff.

As long as there is profit to promote it, there are always more methods than difficulties.

Moreover, because it is a "blind spot" in supervision, these hospital leaders have launched various new recruits such as "monthly salary exceeding 10,000 yuan, professional training, and working with celebrities".

The young man with a dream of a star came to the capital. Through major recruitment websites, he was deceived by various names registered by the head of the hospital or partnered with film and television companies without knowing it, and entered the courtyard inexplicably.

The dream of a celebrity comes at a cost. Before joining the company, you should pay a few thousand or tens of thousands of training fees, introduction fees, agency fees, and deposits, and then seize your ID card in the name of handling the procedures.

At this point, these young people with dreams were caught off guard and pushed into the dark pit of no one paying attention to under this glamorous industry.

They are human beings, but they do not receive the treatment they deserve. They have to chop firewood and make fire by themselves when they eat. The place where they live may leak rain in winter and air in summer. As for their salary, there is nothing to do.

Of course, the one who maintains this management model is naturally violence, and its actual nature is no different from that of some illegal organizations.

Due to the harsh living environment, Xu Rong heard that many people in the courtyard had more or less mental problems.

Today, the three gangsters who were obviously provoking trouble are probably not just gangsters, but should be the actor's deputy director Wang Hongwei did not properly allocate their lives to various courtyards when looking for someone.

The next morning, when Xu Rong took Xiao Zhang and Wang Yaqin to the film and television base, the three of them stared at each other for a long time, as if they hoped that one of them could explain the reason for the current strange situation.

Because there is no half-person figure on the set.

Xiao Zhang got out of the car, looked at the empty venue, and said in confusion: "Is it possible that the crew has made a temporary transition and didn't have time to tell us?"

Wang Yaqin took out a notice in the taxi, glanced at it, and said, "No, the notice I received last night was still filming here. There are two scenes in that scene yesterday. It is impossible to make a transition so quickly. Even if the transition is made, we should not notify us."

Xu Rong looked around and felt terrible and said, "Let's get in the car and wait first, I'll call to ask about the situation."

He was worried that yesterday's matter was not handled properly, so the crew started working with others halfway.

“Doudu.”

“Doudu.”

“…”

But no matter Du Yuming or Chen Haowei's phone calls, everyone was busy.

While Xu Rong was calling, Wang Yaqin was also calling the deputy director Zhang Hongwei and producer director Wang Yahui.

"Teacher Xu, I've connected here."

"Hey, Director Zhang, I am Wang Yaqin, what? I won't take pictures today?"

After hanging up, Wang Yaqin turned her head and said, "Teacher Xu, Director Zhang said, something happened to the crew at the hotel, and I guess it won't be able to shoot today?"

"What's the matter?"

Wang Yaqin shook her head and said, "It's so noisy that I can hear the sound over there, and Director Zhang is also anxious to speak, and he said he will talk in detail when he looks back."

Xu Rong nodded and said, "Let's go to the hotel to see the situation."

The three of them drove the car. Before they arrived at the hotel, they saw the roadside outside the main entrance of the hotel from afar. They set up a cordon, and there were several law enforcement officers in uniform around them.

When Wang Yaqin drove the car closer, Xu Rong's eyes couldn't help but narrowed. In the cordon, a small half of the front of a black car almost completely penetrated into a white bus.

On the ground, there is a pool of dark red patches.

The white bus belongs to the crew.

Zhang Jian and Chen Haowei stood outside the cordon, lowered their heads and smoked. They probably saw his car. Chen Haowei hurriedly walked forward two steps, gestured to them not to stop and continue walking forward.

"Teacher Xu, do you want to stop?"

Xu Rong looked at the dark red marks on the ground, and felt a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Don't stop, drive over and go home."

If he doesn't get off the car, it may not attract the attention of the media. Once he gets off the car, with his popularity, he will probably be exposed to the media within half an hour.

And at present, he doesn't know the whole story.

But in his heart, he guessed that it was not the ones who did it. The crew of "Snow Leopard" was not a small crew. If you do this with private revenge and smash the base's signature, the base manager would be the first to spare them.

Xu Rong and the other two went home and waited for a long time. It was lunch time and Chen Haowei finally came to the letter.

It does have nothing to do with those extras, but the problem is even more serious.

Early this morning, a drunk man drove in a drunken manner and hit the bus parked by the crew at a speed of more than 100 miles.

Dead on the spot.

Xu Rong paused and asked, "What should I do now?"

Chen Haowei sighed and said, "I originally planned to pay some money, but the deceased's family member Lion asked for compensation of 10 million."

"Whose responsibility?"

"We have no responsibility at all. The parking space we parked was a parking space approved by the traffic police team and the city appearance management department. He bumped into it after drinking too much."

Xu Rong paused and asked, "What are the plans for Producer Zhang?"

No matter what, Zhang Jian is the producer after all, and in name, the top leader of the entire crew. As a producer, if he doesn't take the lead at this time, he can't let director Chen Haowei or the man, as he, go up.

"Zhang Jian said that he would never pay compensation, and at most he would have to go through legal procedures."

Chen Haowei sighed again and said, "Don't worry, continue shooting tomorrow and let Zhang Jian go and argue with them."

"OK."

When Xiao Zhang saw Xu Rong hung up the phone, he shouted, "Teacher Xu, it's time to eat."

When Xu Rong sat down, she handed the chopsticks to him and Wang Yaqin, unbuttoned the apron around her waist and put it on the chair next to her, and asked, "Teacher Xu, what's the crew saying?"

Xu Rong rubbed his eyebrows. The crew started the filming for less than two days. Yesterday, he was almost blocked by a group of gangsters. Today, he became even worse and he was killed directly.

Although he has no responsibility for the crew, in the outside world, he is at least half of his responsibility for this crew.

In theory, he agreed with Zhang Jian's opinion, but there were too many unreasonable things.

He actually knew that Chen Haowei's way of spending money to buy peace might be the right one.

But the other party wants too much. If it is 300,000 or 500,000, it will be given. Ten million is simply a fraud.

On the third day, before Xu Rong set off, he received another call from Zhang Hongwei: "Teacher Xu, don't go there first. We were blocked into the hotel and couldn't get out."

"Clogged into the hotel?"

"The family of the deceased asked for compensation of 10 million yuan. If we don't pay, we won't let our car move for half a moment. After finding dozens of elderly and children, we took a seat in front of our car. People said that if we don't pay, we have to pass by them."

Xu Rong was not surprised by Zhang Hongwei's words. From a legal perspective, the crew had no fault, but life was at stake. Since he died, it would take a huge advantage.

“Didn’t contact law enforcement?”

"I have called the police early, but I haven't seen half a person yet. The director said that I can't count on it at all. Teacher Xu and the producer shouted, "That's it first. I'll notify you if I have a letter."

"Okay, you're busy first."

Xu Rong hung up the phone and said to Xiao Zhang who had already packed up, "Don't go, I can't take a picture today."

After briefing the details of the two of them, Xu Rong was about to change his clothes, but suddenly turned his head and said, "Xiao Zhang, before this matter has subsided, don't answer any unfamiliar calls, and don't go out."

"Okay." Xiao Zhang's little face was tense, but then she remembered a particularly important thing, "Teacher Xu, but there is no food at home."

"For this little thing, just ask the housekeeper to help you buy it."

Xu Rong thought about it, but felt it was not suitable, so he turned to Wang Yaqin and said, "Yaqin, I'll ask the butler to drive you out later. If you go back to the company and drive a car, I guess my car may be blocked by the media as soon as I go out."

"good."

After Xu Rong put down his phone, he returned to the living room and sat on the sofa.

Xiao Zhang followed with the script and said, "Teacher Xu, let's go and rehearse the show?"

Xu Rong looked at Xiao Zhang in surprise and said, "In this situation, it is not certain whether this drama can be continued. If you really give 10 million, let alone anything else, the crew will be disbanded on the spot."
To be continued...
