Recently, Zhu Shifeng, an extra actor starring Jackie Chan and Liu Haocun in the new movie, released a video about his lumbar fracture due to filming, but the crew only compensated 30,000 yuan for the incident.
According to him, on October 30, he played a cavalryman on set. While officially filming the horseback riding scene, the horse was startled by the drone that followed the shooting and threw him to the ground.
He was then rushed to the hospital by the crew for treatment and was diagnosed with a compression fracture of the thoracic spine. He initially asked the crew for 500,000 yuan in compensation, but it was shelved.
He released a video of himself being treated at the hospital. In the video, he is lying in a hospital bed looking very haggard, with tubes all over his body.
When his mother learned of this, she wept bitterly at her bedside.
Now, Zhu Shifeng has been arranged by the hospital to be discharged, but he is still wearing protective gear, and he still needs recuperation and treatment in the future. He said that the crew had called him at the time of the killing and offered to compensate 30,000 yuan, including 100 lost work expenses a day in the next 3 months, counting 10,000 to him; 10,000 to remove nails a year later; 10,000 yuan for nutrition and the cost of asking for caregivers. Under his struggle, the crew increased the cost of compensation to 50,000.
However, Zhu Shifeng was not satisfied with the compensation of the crew, saying that "his body is really cheap in the eyes of others", and he will find it difficult to resume his work in the next six months, and he will have to support his family, and his life is very difficult. Netizens were very distressed about his situation, saying that the fracture should be compensated more, and they could go to the union and the labor bureau. In the latest video, he revealed that he may go through the judicial process.
It is reported that the film started on September 14 and was officially launched on November 10.
Although in the completion of a film and television work, the starring role is the most important, but it is indispensable to the efforts of unknown people such as group actors and stand-ins. They are either like Zhu Shifeng, just a small role with few scenes and inconspicuous, or they complete some difficult actions instead of formal actors. Not long ago, someone exposed the shooting tidbits of a stunt actor of a certain crew. I saw him jump down the stairs, first crashing heavily into the hard cement wall.
Then he slammed into the stairs, knocking the handrails of the stairs in a crooked way. In the process, he did not hang Weia, nor was he protected by any protection, and finally he could only hold his head with his hands to protect his head from injury. Although these actors may have been professionally trained, it is too dangerous to fall down like this, and if you are not careful, you may be injured.
Whether it is a well-known lead actor or an obscure group actor and stand-in, their personal safety should be protected in the same way, and the efforts for a work should also be treated kindly. In any case, the safety of life is the most important.
