On the 22nd, the famous Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin misused the prop gun on the set, resulting in the death of cinematography director Harina Hakans, only 42 years old, and another screenwriter, Joel Susa, was also seriously injured, which is the worst shooting accident in history. Immediately, it also caused people to worry about the safety of personnel in the filming process of film and television dramas, and similar problems are not the first time, it seems that glamorous actors can also be called high-risk occupations.
Alec Baldwin, 63, has been debuting for more than 40 years and is a veteran actor who has performed brilliantly in the "Bride 100%", "Pearl Harbor", "Ghost Player" and "Mission Impossible" series.
Deceased director Harina
It is reported that he was filming a new film "Rust" at the time, and the prop gun accidentally went off, and it happened to hit the cinematographer director Harina Hakans, and another screenwriter, Jolly Susha, was lucky to escape the disaster, but was also seriously injured.
After the incident, some netizens also noticed that Alec Baldwin deleted a previously uploaded blood-stained set photo on social media, as if deliberately avoiding unnecessary controversy.
Then the police launched an investigation into the accident, and quickly questioned the relevant people present, according to media reports, although it was rehearsal at that time, it was very likely to be filmed in the process, Harina Hakans died after being sent to the hospital, and Jolly Susha is still in emergency rescue.
No one has been charged against the staff, including Alec Baldwin, but the filming of the film has been suspended, and as the police investigation deepens, the relevant personnel will further cooperate.
It is really lamentable that such a tragedy has occurred, but in fact, this kind of thing has happened many times, especially some fierce gun battles and action scenes, and there will always be injuries or even deaths of staff.
For example, Li Guohao, the son of Bruce Lee of the "Mystery of the Century", was also mistakenly killed by a prop gun at the age of 28. The time is in 1993, when Li Guohao was filming "Dragon God of War", while filming a gun battle scene with another actor, MacMaise, Mai Xi shot a real bullet in the gun, which hit Li Guohao's stomach, although he was rescued for 6 hours, he still died.
During the filming of the annual drama "Qiao Family Compound", an accident occurred during the filming process, and the donkey driven by actor Gao Changhao was suddenly frightened, causing Lian Ren to take the car and overturn into the ravine. Gao Changhao was diagnosed with a ruptured pancreas and brain damage after being sent to the hospital, and eventually died at the age of 39.
Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li also in the filming of the movie "Daredevil 2", its stand-in Liu Kun unfortunately died, it is reported that the film party only compensated 150,000 yuan at that time, causing dissatisfaction among the family, and once went to court, it is rumored that in the end, Jet Li personally took out a sum of money to compensate the family, and finally calmed down.
Of course, there are many examples like this, from which it is not difficult to see that film and television drama shooting is a very complicated and huge work, especially some large productions, the scene needs to mobilize hundreds, thousands of people, costumes and props lighting, all need to be coordinated scheduling, once a certain link has a problem, it is possible to cause accidents.
In this regard, film and television practitioners, including actors, are also a high-risk profession, which requires that the logistics support department must have strict implementation regulations, after all, no one wants such tragedies to happen again and again.
