preface
On May 20, just as everyone was celebrating Romantic Valentine's Day, the atmosphere at a filming location in Kowloon City, Hong Kong, was extremely tense, and the scene was chaotic.
It is reported that this is a new drama recently filmed by Huang Bo Nini, but during the filming process, the lifting platform suddenly collapsed backwards, and 8 staff members were seriously injured.
Judging by the photos that flowed out, the scene was bleeding like a river, and it seemed that the situation was not optimistic.
Film and television shooting has always been a combination of risk and hardship.
The actors and staff must not only complete actions such as hanging Weiya and riding horses, but also use knives, guns, sticks and other props according to the script, and if they are not careful, they will be seriously injured.
The crew that caused the accident, it is reported that it is directed by Guan Hu, starring Huang Bo Nini and others, which just started not long ago.
This film was jointly invested and filmed by the Hong Kong company and the mainland film and television company, and the crew has been setting up and arranging the scene here for more than ten days.
On the afternoon of May 20, when the staff were standing on the lift platform to shoot the scene on the fourth floor of the building, they suddenly had an accident on the lift platform they were sitting on.
The lift platform collapsed backwards without warning, and the 2 photographers and 6 assistants standing on the lift platform all fell off the lift platform.
Some of them were hit the head, blood oozed from time to time, and some were different parts of the body such as arms and legs, which looked very serious.
After the incident, the crew also sent the eight injured people to the local hospital in Hong Kong for treatment at the first time, and the specific situation is still waiting for the results of the hospital.
This accident was purely an accident, no one expected that the lifting platform they were sitting on would suddenly turn backwards, and the crew would always be responsible to the end and do their best to treat it.
I hope that these eight staff members will recover as soon as possible, and I hope that the filming of the crew behind will go smoothly.
In fact, this is not the first time that an accident has occurred in domestic entertainment, and many shooting accidents have occurred in recent years, and many accidents are very serious, which makes people listen to the heart-wrenching.
For example, in a movie starring Yan Yalun and others in 2022, an accident suddenly occurred while filming in the Valley of the Immortals, and two staff members unfortunately fell to their deaths.
Nowadays, many film and television dramas often choose to go to the field to shoot in order to pursue the truth of the picture.
Yan Yalun's drama is no exception, the crew is all filmed in the Valley of the Immortals, but such a natural landscape is often a combination of scenic beauty and rugged roads.
And the crew has only been on for less than a month, and I think I am not familiar with the surrounding terrain and environment, and the Valley of the Immortals is just like the name, high and steep, surrounded by rocks.
Two crew members accidentally fell to the bottom during the set and filming, and the two crew members were declared dead not long after.
These two staff members have also worked hard for many films such as "Operation Mekong".
Their departure caused a stir of rendering on the Internet.
Netizens have condemned the crew, depending on the safety of the crew, Yan Yalun has publicly stated that if the crew does not give a reasonable explanation, he will immediately terminate his cooperation with it.
This actually reflects that in today's film and television drama shooting market, the crew often only pays attention to factors such as the completion of the drama and investment.
For personal safety, many crews have not actually done protective measures, and some black-hearted crews have not even purchased basic personal insurance for employees.
In addition to this crash, the most sensational and shocking shooting accident in domestic entertainment is a TV series filmed by Yu Haoming and Selina in 2010.
At that time, Yu Haoming had just become popular all over the country with the filming of the fire idol drama "Meteor Shower", which was at the peak of her career development, and Selina was also famous as a teenager, and as the captain of a well-known idol group, she was quite well-known at home and abroad.
But unexpectedly, when the two were filming a TV series jointly funded by the mainland of the mainland, they suddenly suffered a flying disaster, and in October of this year, most of the scenes between the two had been filmed, and one of the larger explosion scenes needed to be completed by the two.
Unexpectedly, it was this explosive scene that promoted the warming of the relationship between the male and female protagonists in the play that caused the shadow that the two could not forget in their lives.
That afternoon, the crew announced the start of filming after checking everything, according to the original plan, there were five locations for this blast, and the crew arranged everything in advance.
But who knows, because of the serious mistake of the demolition division, there was a serious explosion in the place where the two appeared during the shooting, and the scene instantly turned into a sea of fire.
Afterwards, Yu Haoming was burned as much as 39% of his body, and Selina was even more serious, reaching a terrifying 54%.
This accident directly caused the two people's careers to fall to the bottom, and at the same time, their bodies and appearance also suffered very serious damage.
This accident ordinary people can't accept, let alone stars? Moreover, both of them were in the rising stage of their careers at that time, and the future can be said to be bright.
After the incident, the two underwent a very painful treatment process, most of the whole body was burned, and they had to endure pain such as skin grafting and treatment.
In the end, although the crew also compensated the actors for a certain amount, what to exchange for youth and appearance? Moreover, the commercial value of the two at that time was far greater than the amount of compensation.
Because this incident was so serious, the relevant personnel conducted a close and detailed investigation after the incident, and the results were shocking and infuriating.
The crew was not very concerned about the personal safety of the actors, and various protective measures were very inadequate, and Selina had also filmed a blasting scene before this, and had told the crew that there were potential safety hazards during the filming.
According to Selina, when she filmed the previous explosion scene, she already felt that her back was hot, like a fire, and asked the crew if it was safe.
Then the crew only said that this was normal, for the questions raised by the actors.
The crew did not take it seriously, and second, did not plan to solve it seriously, but just wanted to complete the task in a hurry.
Last but not least, under the arrangement of the crew, the two did not conduct a complete trial before filming the blasting scene.
Not even a complete escape route was worked out, only a few laps around the filming site, and no professional test explosion was carried out.
Generally speaking, the most basic thing to shoot such a large-scale explosion scene is to have a professional blaster test explosion, including but not limited to delineating the safety distance between the explosion and the site, and working out a detailed escape route, as well as what to do at which time node.
But the crew did not do this, even after the actors had already raised concerns, they did not care.
If they had been aware of this problem in time, they would have avoided the accident.
In addition, for example, in 2019, when the well-known actor Gao Yixiang participated in a variety show, his body was overwhelmed and fell to the ground, and he also called for help many times.
But the production team watching from the sidelines did not pay attention to it at all, and even wanted the program effect to be more exciting.
Afterwards, he did not send professional medical staff in time to give him first aid, until the rest of the actors found that something was wrong and shouted for help before coming forward to check.
But unfortunately, because the crew wasted golden time before, the medical team did not arrive in time, which eventually led to Gao Yixiang's unfortunate sudden death.
However, in addition to these irresponsible crews and film parties, there are still some crews in the circle who can learn lessons and treat them in time.
For example, in 2020, when an actor was filming a TV series, his left eye was suddenly scratched by a prop, and the blood flowed nonstop, but fortunately the crew sent him to the hospital for treatment at the first time, so it was no big deal.
For example, Wu Jing, who has always played a tough guy, his filming scene is also dangerous, once during the filming of "Fathers", he suddenly fell off his horse, which is serious enough, but at this time Wu Jing also faced a problem.
Because he fell off the horse directly to the ground, he was tightly held by props around his neck and could not move.
After the accident, the director immediately stopped filming and stepped forward to check, and Wu Jing was also sent to the hospital for emergency treatment as soon as possible. The diagnosis is soft tissue contusion requiring good bed rest.
Actor Jiang Luxia, who is also from the filming of action scenes, was filming a movie in 2022 due to an accident on the rope hanging Weiya, which caused her to be hit the side wall when she landed.
Because of inertia, her head hit the wall, causing a serious wound on her face, which was still very deep.
Fortunately, the set learned all kinds of unexpected lessons in the previous circle and sent him to the hospital as soon as possible, and the doctor later stitched seven stitches on his face, but fortunately there was no danger to his life.
In general, celebrities will have all kinds of accidents in the recording of sets, variety shows, etc., and it is not easy in all walks of life.
But whether the accident can be avoided and whether the solution can be maximized depends on the importance of personal safety in the crew, if the scene can be checked in time, a professional test explosion can be carried out, and insurance can be purchased for each employee.
If the safety of the cast and crew is put first, then this kind of thing will become less and less.
For the accidents that have occurred, I hope that the crew and other parties can seriously learn lessons and lessons, instead of being unimpressed and ignoring life, resulting in an irreparable situation.
