Any worker has the right to a safe working environment, and actors are no exception, and the profession of actors is likely to be injured, but they should also try to avoid unnecessary injuries.

Recently, the TV series "Light Chaser" filmed by actor Luo Yunxi was completed. On the day of the killing, luo Yunxi was mistakenly injured in the face by the opponent actor Ji Huanbo when he completed a scene, and was sent to the hospital. After that, Luo Yunxi replied on Weibo that his body was not in serious trouble, emphasizing that as an actor, there will inevitably be some accidents during the filming process, which is the particularity of this profession.
At the same time, the drama side and the rival actor Ji Huanbo also apologized on Weibo for the first time. In response to the online rumors of beating people with wedding rings, Ji Huanbo denied it, or inevitably met with many fans. In the past, many people thought that it was inevitable that actors would be injured in the play, and Luo Yunxi's fans were distressed about their own love beans, can this show that now the actors have become "golden"?
Once upon a time, some fans of traffic stars were very serious about filming with their own love beans, and they were injured when filming, to demonstrate the dedication of aidou and refute some people's criticism of aidou's acting skills, which was laughed at by senior predecessors such as Chen Daoming. For example, Chen Daoming said: "Now what hand is broken, what place is broken, what winter is in the water, summer wearing a big leather jacket, has become an actor's credit." Chen Daoming believes: "You actors should suffer!" ”
This time Luo Yunxi was injured in filming, he did not sell miserably at all, but comforted fans that "this is the particularity of this profession." This is also the case - because when filming, it is likely to involve some dangerous actions, even if you can use a stand-in, sometimes in order to ensure the authenticity of the performance, the actors will choose to play in person, which may be injured. In addition, the more realistic and immersive the acting, the better the effect, and some action scenes will lose control if they are not careful, causing injuries to the opponent actors.
For example, the recently released movie "Chosin Lake", during the filming process, the shooting environment was relatively harsh, the action scenes of the film were difficult, and many actors were injured during the filming process. Like Yi Qianxi's legs with a broken ligament and a tear, the later scene shooting was done in a wheelchair; When shooting the hand-to-hand combat scene, Li Chen threw too much into his arm dislocation twice, and the scene of the steel plate stopper gun exploded through the steel plate and injured Li Chen's eyes; Zhu Yawen filmed the rolling hillside scene, and almost hit his head on the tree several times in the middle of the night...
The documentary "Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist", released this year, looks back at the golden age of Hong Kong action movies, when injuries to action actors were commonplace. The documentary "reveals" the dangers behind several classic action scenes for the audience. For example, in "Provincial Hong Kong Flag Soldier", Yuanwu fell directly from the tall building to the ice rink, falling covered in blood; "Heart of the Dragon" has a scene where eight people jumped down from the seventh-floor building in unison, there is no Weiya, several martial artists really jumped down, the downstairs is just cushioned with a cardboard box, after this scene, the director shouted not "finish work" but "save people"; and in "Dragon's Heart", Qian Jiale fell from the third floor, he should have landed on the tent protruding from the first floor, then fell on the moving car, and finally bounced off the ground. But during the filming, due to his falling movements, he missed the tent and fell directly to the ground, and the car almost crushed him, almost dying...
The poster of "Dragon tiger martial artist" is a scarred back. He does not refer specifically to a single person, but to the epitome of a Hong Kong martial artist. "Fast Food Truck" tailbone injured is Qian Jiale, "Mr. Zombie" concussion is Lin Zhengying, "Dragon Brother Tiger Brother" skull fracture is Jackie Chan, "Best Lucky Star" hand bone fracture is Hong Jinbao, "Akin" cervical spine injury is almost paralyzed by Yang Ziqiong ... Therefore, it is necessary to realize that action scenes are part of acting, and in theory, actors may be injured when filming, which is part of the professional attributes of actors. Actors choose this profession, enjoy the dividends also have to bear the risks brought by the profession, this is the actor's duty, there is no need to take the actor filming injury as a kind of "medal", or fans all over the world "justice", think that their own love beans for acting to pay too much, hope to win more pity and sympathy from netizens. The dedication of an actor should not be the "upper limit" of this profession.

However, we cannot go to an extreme, that is, we think that the actor should be injured, or that the actor avoids injury to prove that the actor is not dedicated, which means that the actor is "golden". Any worker has the right to a safe working environment, and actors are no exception. The profession of an actor may be injured, but we should also try to avoid unnecessary injuries to the actor.
"Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist" also mentions to the audience the late years of the martial arts actors in just a few words. Although in their prime, they gave up their lives, constantly challenged the limits of their bodies, and achieved thrilling and wonderful action scenes, which made the golden age of Hong Kong action movies, most of them were desolate at night. After all, martial arts actors like Jackie Chan, Cheng Xiaodong, and Zhen Zidan are very few, and more are suffering from physical pain and poverty, and the diseases that fell in their youth have come in the middle and late years.
This is related to the "wrong" shooting concept at the time. The action scenes of that era were almost all real falls and real fights without protection. Moreover, the martial artists are also proud of not doing protection, as if you do protection, it means that you are not dedicated, you are not good. This is what Zhen Zidan said in the documentary: "In order to prove that you are the best in the kung fu world, you will do a lot of silly things, it doesn't matter if you hit the left face, hit the right face!" "But this kind of life-beating film shooting method is actually unhealthy, it is based on the squeezing and overdraft of the human body."
Therefore, although the current action scenes are not "fighting for their lives" like before, they have more protection and can also use the power of technology, which is essentially a kind of progress and a manifestation of the humanistic care of the film and television industry.
Protecting the actor from harm is definitely not the actor's temperament, but what the filmmaker should strive to do, even for the sake of artistic effects, it should also be well protected. In retrospect, there is indeed no shortage of painful lessons in reality that actors have been seriously hurt when filming. Like Hu Ge rushing to the set of car accident stitches more than 100 stitches, the assistant unfortunately died; Yu Haoming and Selina were burned during the filming of the TV series "I Have a Date with Spring", both of them were very seriously injured and underwent skin grafting surgery; actor Gao Changhao was injured while filming and unfortunately died; actor Gao Yixiang had a cardiac arrest while recording a variety show, unfortunately died...
Specifically in the case of Luo Yunxi, Luo Yunxi was not injured in the explosion and other scenes, but the opponent actor injured Luo Yunxi's face in close contact. This is indeed an important reminder for the subsequent action scene shooting, such as some fist-to-flesh melee scenes, how to ensure a safe distance? How to be realistic and safe? This is a question that deserves careful consideration by the action directors.
