Injured in a scene, injured in a falling horse, burned and disfigured by a blasting scene, how much do actors know about the danger of filming?

In the interview program "Aer Qi Golden Armor" launched by Tencent Video, the new interview is with actor Gao Xin. Two dramas starring Gao Xin, a medical drama "White Castle" and a crime drama "Public Prosecution", are currently on the air.

Gao Xin is a good actor who acts steadily, although he has never been popular, but he has dedicated many classic roles to everyone.

In 2001, Gao Xin was known and loved by the public for the role of "Lu Yihao" in Qiong Yao's drama "Deep Love".

In fact, when I watched "Deep Love", I felt that Yin Hao (Gao Xin was not famous at that time, and he didn't know his name) was more handsome than Gu Juji and Su Youpeng, and his acting skills were the most natural.

In the program, when talking about the filming of "Special Combat Glory", Gao Xin said that there was a scene where special forces lurked underwater, and the pool where the film was filmed was particularly dirty, not only the water was very turbid, but there were aquatic plants, small insects, urine and so on. They have to hold their breath under the water for almost 40 seconds, other actors have no lines, they can hold their breath all the time, and secretly breathe in the middle, but he has a line, and when he says the lines, he drinks several mouthfuls of dirty water, feels so sick, and swallows water plants in his mouth.

Therefore, it is not so easy to be a good actor who is serious and dedicated.

The little thing about underwater filming mentioned by Gao Xin is only a small difficulty encountered in filming, and many actors, in the process of filming for many years, have not only experienced difficulties and setbacks during filming, but also encountered unexpected dangers many times.

Below, Dewdrop will take an inventory of the unexpected dangers that well-known actors have encountered during filming.

01 Filming is easy to be injured and prone to danger, and martial arts actors bear the brunt

Why do some actors especially like to act in urban dramas? Because of the shooting of urban dramas, there is basically no danger, anyway, eating and drinking indoors, falling in love and making conflicts, talking and drinking and pretending to work, just like daily life.

In the industry of film and television dramas, kung fu actors and martial arts stars can be said to be the type that encounters the most danger.

For example, everyone is familiar with well-known martial arts stars Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Wu Jing, Sammo Hung, Michelle Yeoh, etc., which is not full of injuries and scars?

Wu Jing has been filming for many years, and it is rumored on the Internet that he has suffered multiple injuries all over his body, and has successively stitched as many as 100 stitches, and later Wu Jing himself said that he may not have reached 100 stitches, but the number of injuries is a fact.

As early as the early 80s, Jet Li received a "third-degree disability" certificate.

During the filming of "North and South Shaolin", Jet Li's spine was misaligned, his back muscles were severely strained, and his fifth lumbar vertebrae was cracked.

During the filming of "Chinese Heroes", Jet Li's nose bridge bone was broken, and he fell from a height, resulting in all 7 ribs being broken.

In his later years, Jet Li was once seriously warned by doctors: "Either use a wheelchair or don't film."

Jackie Chan personally played all his scenes and never used a stand-in, so after decades of martial arts acting career, Jackie Chan was covered in injuries everywhere.

There is a picture of Jackie Chan's whole body injuries circulating on the Internet, from which it can be seen that Jackie Chan has more than a dozen injured parts from head to toe.

During the filming of "Dragon and Tiger Brothers", Jackie Chan suffered a head injury, bleeding profusely, and the doctor diagnosed a cerebral hemorrhage and almost lost his life.

During the filming of Jackie Chan's new film "Dragon Horse Spirit", there was a horse riding scene where the horse suddenly lost control because of skidding, causing Jackie Chan to fall directly from the horse.

To put on the young Jackie Chan, the falling horse may not be anything at all, with his good skills, he can completely support it with his hands.

But don't forget, at this time, Jackie Chan, who was 68 years old, belonged to the ranks of the proper elderly, although Jackie Chan supported it with his hands after falling to the ground, but did not hold it, and his head hit the stone floor hard.

But after Jackie Chan stood up, he comforted everyone and said, "It's okay, it's okay", because of his many years of filming and fighting career, accidental injuries are too commonplace for him.

Oscar actress Michelle Yeoh, while filming "The Story of Akin", fell from a bridge more than 30 meters high, sprained her neck, back, and waist, broke three ribs, and almost paralyzed.

When filming the city wall fight scene of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Michelle Yeoh tore off two large ligaments in her left knee with a roundhouse kick, went to the United States for surgery and did not fully recover, and rushed back to Beijing to shoot, but broke her ankle again.

Michelle Yeoh, as a rare female star among kung fu stars, has already achieved fame, but she is over 60 years old, she is still fighting on the front line of movies, and this kind of hard-working spirit of not afraid of hardship is worthy of admiration.

Of course, with the aging of the older generation of kung fu stars, now the new generation of martial arts actors, who really "can fight", is almost broken. Many so-called "martial arts actors" will only put up flower shelves and make fake appearances, so you see many martial arts TV series now, all of which are slow-motion fights, which are terribly fake.

02 Accidental falling off a horse while filming is the most common accidental and dangerous event such as filming anti-Japanese dramas and costume martial arts dramas

Yu Zhen, who was jokingly called "Anti-Japanese God Drama Actor" by netizens, once encountered the incident of accidentally falling off a horse while filming a horse riding scene. Fortunately, the bones were not injured, but the waist and hands were swollen.

In 2009, when the superstar Andy Lau was filming "Di Renjie's Babel Empire", he filmed the scene of climbing in the air, and accidentally hit his chin, resulting in nonstop bleeding, and the scars on his face were there for a long time.

In 2017, when 56-year-old Andy Lau was filming a horseback riding scene in a commercial in Thailand, the horse accidentally went crazy and lost control, dropping Andy Lau to the ground, and also stepped on Andy Lau's lumbar spine, causing his spine to crack and fracture his pelvis. After this injury, Andy Lau revealed that his physical fitness has declined very much, and compared with before, his physical fitness is only a quarter of the past.

Veteran actor Tang Guoqiang fell off a horse while filming the costume drama "Da Tang Book Soul Yan Zhenqing" in 2009, with a broken collarbone on his left side and four ribs on his left chest.

Wang Yinan, the wife of the actor Gao Xin I mentioned at the beginning, is also a middle-aged actor that everyone is familiar with, that is, the actress who once played Xiao Qin in "Do You Know If It Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin".

Wang Yinan fell from a horse in 2000 while filming the TV series "Grassland Night", resulting in a crushing fracture from the collarbone to the mandible. Gao Xin, who had just finished filming "Deep Love", pushed off all the film contracts and took care of Wang Yinan for more than 8 months until she basically recovered, and the two came together.

Lin Zhiling also had a horse crash when filming an advertising scene, which caused six ribs in her chest to fracture at that time.

When Feng Shaofeng was filming the movie "Journey to the West: Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" in 2014, the horse was frightened and out of control, causing Feng Shaofeng to fall from the horse.

At that time, Feng Shaofeng was pressed by a white horse weighing 550 kilograms and prop luggage, and his leg bone was broken.

There is always a danger of accidentally falling off a horse when filming a horse scene, because horses are particularly frightened animals. No wonder, there are now many traffic stars and idol actors, and when filming horseback riding scenes, they have always only shown their upper bodies.

Because they did not ride horses at all, but only made the feint of holding the reins and galloping the horse. The real horseback riding is the stuntman, or simply the computer is used to synthesize the picture of the horse riding in the post.

03 The accident encountered during filming, the most serious situation, some people burned and disfigured, some people were seriously injured in car accidents, and some people died because of this

When it comes to the serious accident encountered in filming, everyone will definitely think of Hu Ge.

After Hu Ge filmed "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", his career began to take off. But in the second year of his debut, Hu Ge had a serious car accident on the highway during the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", his assistant died on the spot, and Hu Ge was also seriously injured and almost disfigured.

After the careful care of his girlfriend Xue Jianing at the time, Hu Ge finally healed, but he was left with a permanent scar on his right eye. So now when watching the film and television dramas filmed by Hu Ge, if there are close-up shots, the scars on Hu Ge's face can still be seen very clearly.

Actor Yu Haoming was also a handsome traffic star back then. But in 2010, Yu Haoming filmed the TV series "Love in the Summer", and while filming a blasting scene, Yu Haoming and co-actor Selina Ren Jiaxuan (the popular singing group S· H· One of E) was burned together, Yu Haoming had burns of 35% of his body, and his face was seriously injured, leaving many scars. Although those scars have been reduced after a post-facelift, they are still very noticeable.

Therefore, Yu Haoming once reached the point where there was no drama to film, and later, after a difficult transformation, he began to play villain roles, and finally with his acting skills, he became an important supporting actor in many film and television dramas and even the male number two and male number three.

Lin Qingxia was also accidentally injured when filming "New Dragon Gate Inn". At that time, she had a scene where she wanted to use a sword to pull away a flying arrow, but unexpectedly she was scratched by a bamboo arrow and injured her cornea, and Lin Qingxia endured the pain to shoot a complete film before going to Hong Kong for treatment.

Pan Yueming, who was also known as the "golden boy and jade girl" with Dong Jie at the time, suffered a car accident when filming in 2009, the car fell off a 23-meter-deep cliff, Pan Yueming was bleeding from the lungs, unconscious and seriously injured.

And Yu Yuexian, an actor famous for the role of "Xie Dajiao" in "Country Love", during filming in Inner Mongolia in 2021, the vehicle she was riding in, because the driver was particularly tired at the time, and he was driving in the early morning, so he collided with a camel walking on the road, several people on the car were injured, Yu Yuexian was the most seriously injured, and finally passed away after the rescue was ineffective.

At that time, when the six-year-old child was filming "Journey to the West", when filming the scene of submitting the Red Child, the crew invited an acrobats who could breathe fire. The Monkey King, played by the six-year-old child, was surrounded by the real fire spewed out by the "Red Child", and the whole person was in a sea of fire.

In order to avoid excessive burns, the six-year-old child in the sea of fire rolled on the ground desperately, wanting to suppress the flames on his body, but the director thought that he was performing the actions of the Monkey King, so he continued to shoot normally, until finally, the six-year-old boy fell into a coma, and everyone understood that he was really burned.

As the saying goes, fire and water are merciless. Shooting scenes with pyrotechnics or explosions is always particularly dangerous.

There have been many actors or stuntmen who have been burned, injured, or even disfigured or blinded, and it is not uncommon for actors or stuntmen to be accidentally killed.

For example, Zhang Tong, an actor who is famous for the role of "Wei Monk" in "Bright Sword" and widely loved by everyone because of the role of Li Dazhao in "The Age of Awakening", is a rare tough actor among post-80s actors.

In 2013, during the filming of a blasting scene of the anti-Japanese war drama "One and Eight", an accident occurred on the scene, Zhang Tong was injured, both eyes were blind on the spot, and he was rushed to the hospital for treatment, although he finally saved his eyes, but Zhang Tong suffered from depression and almost committed suicide by jumping off the building, and later it was the comfort, encouragement and companionship of his wife and family, and he gradually came out of depression and returned to the ranks of actors.

The actors who are dedicated to filming deserve our admiration, and it is precisely because of them, as the audience, that we can see so many film and television scenes like realistic reproductions.

However, it is recommended that the crew should do a good job in the safety and security of the actors, consider more safety details during the filming process, and try to avoid unnecessary accidental injuries and unexpected dangers for actors (including stuntmen and extras).

Not only actors, in real life, there are more high-risk professions. For example, working at height on construction sites, spider-men cleaning tall buildings, firefighters, fishermen fishing at sea, and so on.

Whether it is the actor industry or other industries, it is recommended that leaders and management fully do a good job in occupational safety protection, so that every actor and every employee can work steadily and without encountering unexpected dangers.
