Chapter 1009: Rush the Schedule—Perhaps Photography is the Biggest Victim?
Xiao He nodded upon hearing Yuan Sitong's words.
He now understood why these people had come to the film set for a surprise inspection today.
After all, just eating wild fish can achieve this group damage effect, which is practically poisoning!
This is quite exaggerated.
However, this situation is most likely due to some problems with the kitchen staff's handling. The fish itself is not very clean, and their handling process may not be very meticulous. For example, they may use the same cutting boards for raw and cooked food, which could lead to cross-contamination and make it easy to get infected.
He was a little surprised: "Are there people from our crew going too?"
"Yes, two of the support staff were craving something sweet when they got off work last night, so they went out for a late-night snack with the others. As a result, they were taken away with them later that night."
Xiao He: "...Why are people so greedy for this?"
If you're hungry at night, slap your mouth a few times to remind yourself not to be hungry.
"That's troublesome. I'll probably be getting checked frequently these days."
Xiao He sighed and made the most important conclusion.
"So what I mean is, I just hope it won't affect us."
Yuan Sitong sighed, arms crossed.
However, things naturally did not go as they wished.
After finishing his phone call and explaining the situation to Zhuang Hongyi, Fan Congwen came over and gathered director Yan Shaohan and other logistics personnel for a short impromptu meeting.
"Have you heard about the food poisoning incident that happened to a film crew yesterday?"
Fan Congwen's face was no longer smiling, only serious: "Because this matter has caused quite a stir, it has now attracted the attention of the relevant environmental protection bureau and the cultural and tourism bureau. This morning, they sent people to check along the river and up the mountain. They found that the garbage that was just cleaned up at the end of last year has now piled up into a mountain again, and the upstream river beach has been severely polluted. They are also investigating other related issues. At present, they initially suspect that someone has been illegally dumping garbage for a long time."
The people capable of doing this are not necessarily a specific film crew; they are most likely a regular outsourcing group.
Therefore, several departments have joined forces to conduct surprise inspections of all film crews stationed at the film studio. They checked each crew's garbage disposal receipts and prop disposal records, investigated the disposal and destination of waste materials, and also rectified and regulated the crews' garbage disposal procedures to further standardize these operational processes.
“We film crews who are currently shooting at the film studio may be subject to strict inspections. And today we were unlucky. Our set was in a mess, so the person in charge of the inspection asked us to make corrections as soon as we finished filming.”
Fan Congwen looked at Xiao He and Yan Shaohan: "So we need to speed up the filming of Yin Qi's storyline. If nothing unexpected happens, people will be coming over in the next few days. We'd better finish filming this part as soon as possible, otherwise it will be quite troublesome later."
This is just like the dormitory hygiene inspections when you're in school.
There should be no trash in the trash can—at least not during inspections.
Therefore, if the production team doesn't want to be repeatedly asked to make changes, they must speed things up.
"Ah, not surprising at all."
Yan Shaohan scratched his hair, feeling somewhat troubled, and finally looked at Xiao He: "Xiao He, the upcoming scenes are mainly yours, and there will be a lot of action scenes. Are you sure there are no problems? We may need to catch up on the schedule."
Xiao He nodded: "I have no problem. If we can shorten the time, we should be able to finish filming as soon as possible."
This part of the plot mainly tells how Yin Qi followed the clues to find the village where Yin Lan and the others were currently located, and then decided to massacre the village to find them.
The village is located deep in the mountains and was a hidden stronghold prepared in advance by Wuwu.
Most of the people remaining in the village are elderly. They still have a strong attachment to guarding the village and are unwilling to leave, so they have chosen to stay and continue to protect this village.
Many years ago, young people who were willing to venture out had already gone out with Wuwu and successfully built a brand-new modern village at the foot of the mountain, thus achieving poverty alleviation and prosperity.
After achieving a comfortable life, they naturally did not forget to give back to the mountains and the villages on the mountain, improving the infrastructure of the villages in the mountains in every possible way.
However, due to the wars of the past, this village, which has been almost abandoned by modernization, still retains many of the weapons and mechanisms left over from those days.
These things were originally buried in the graves along with the passing of the older generation, and may disappear along with the village in the future. But there is one person who remembers them very clearly - that is Wu Wu himself, who led the villagers to build and move these things bit by bit back then!
Back then, they stayed in this village, leading the villagers through the most difficult years. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, they seized the opportune moment to lead the villagers out and start creating wealth and value. Now, carrying the weapons and mechanisms left behind, the descendants of those who received the favor of the shaman have voluntarily stayed to help their "guardian spirit" and delay the advance of the bad guys.
Therefore, a tight net had long been set up here, waiting for Yin Qi's arrival.
So, upon sensing the unusual atmosphere within the village, Yin Qi, who had finally entered, raised his head slightly, a hint of excitement on his face.
Having completely shed his disguise, Yin Qi now possessed an almost naive cruelty.
It was a very strange feeling. Even though it was the same smile, it always gave people a chilling feeling for no reason.
At this moment, the camera zooms in again, gradually enlarging the scene from a distant view, and finally transforming from a third-person perspective to a strong subjective perspective, as if someone waiting in the shadows is also using this perspective to spy.
In the video, the young man seemed to sense the spying. His gaze suddenly turned cold, and then his eyes flickered as he stared directly at the screen through the lens.
He didn't speak, but at that moment his eyes seemed to have a tangible quality, as if a knife was scraping across the photographer's skin, stirring up the hairs all over his body.
"Gurgle."
The cameraman couldn't help but swallow.
"Click!"
Fortunately, Yan Shaohan saved him at that moment.
Before the photographer could even process the fear of staring directly at the villain, he was already being pushed aside.
The crew members around him rushed over, starting to adjust Xiao He's costume and set up the scene. Even the wire crane parked next to him started rotating its boom as the safety officer began installing safety measures for Xiao He.
"Photographers, don't just stand there! Come over here and confirm your positions. Time is of the essence, so hurry up!"
Yan Shaohan reminded and urged him through the earpiece.
The photographer was on the verge of tears.
No, it's one thing for actors to be forced to rush the schedule, but we cinematographers can also get workplace injuries when we're rushing to film, okay?
Previously, they could at least take a break after filming for a while, but now they're forced to be at the forefront filming the villain's hundred ways of killing.
Blood splattered on my face just now, and I didn't even have time to wipe it off!
We photographers are scared too. Who cares about us?
