Global Film Emperor

Chapter 284

"boom!"

The moment Lu Ze crashed into the police car, everyone at the scene was terrified. The three directors, who had been leisurely watching the monitor, immediately jumped up from their chairs and loudly called out to the doctor who was with the film crew.

"Something's happened! Go check it out right away! Doctor! Call the doctor! Hurry!"

The three directors remained relatively calm, because in their long directing careers, accidents involving actors were not uncommon, and some had even lost their lives during filming.

In this day and age, you can get electrocuted just by plugging in a charger, so there's no need to talk about the dangers of filming. It's just that Lu Ze was unlucky and careless today. The most important thing is to hurry up and check on Lu Ze's condition, especially since he has a child in his arms.

Because the shot was very long, the crew specially rented two sightseeing vehicles. Liu Ying sat in the driver's seat, while He Ruikuan, the doctor, Song Guiyuan, and Tang Renxuan's agent, who was also his mother, sat in the back seat, rushing towards the scene of the incident.

"Slow down! The ground is slippery, slow down!"

Liu Ying had a good relationship with Lu Ze and treated him like a nephew. He was a little anxious, and after speeding up, He Ruikuan reminded him, which calmed him down. He slowed down and headed towards Lu Ze's direction. Otherwise, if they overturned again, things would get interesting.

Although the road had been temporarily blocked by the traffic management bureau and the public security bureau, it was close to a residential area, and many pedestrians were still watching the commotion from behind the camera. Now that they saw what had happened, a group of onlookers gathered around and took a bunch of pictures of Lu Ze lying in the police car with their phones.

"Make way, please make way! Can you please stand a little further back? What are you doing crowding around here? If someone gets hurt, can you take responsibility?"

All five people in the car were anxious. After getting off the car, they quickly pushed through the crowd and walked inside. Although the onlookers were a little unconvinced by what was said, that was how things were. If something really happened to Lu Ze, they might actually be held responsible. So, they stepped aside with dissatisfaction.

The doctor was under a lot of pressure. He hadn't seen Lu Ze and the police car on the roof, but from He Ruikuan and the others' description, it seemed quite serious. The doctor had only thought that this trip would involve dealing with some minor bumps and bruises, but he never expected it to turn out like this. However, after seeing Lu Ze, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lu Ze lay on the car window, smashing it to pieces. He was still conscious, his brows furrowed, as he comforted the crying Renxuan in his arms, telling him to stop crying.

There was no blood on Lu Ze's face, but blood was seeping from the back of his neck, which was noticed by a sharp-eyed doctor. However, the amount of bleeding was not large, and it should only be a superficial injury, probably caused by the car glass cutting his skin.

"Xuanxuan, Mommy was so scared! Let Mommy see, where does it hurt? Let Mommy see."

Ignoring Lu Ze, Tang's mother picked up Tang Renxuan and hugged him tightly, bursting into tears. She was terrified and never expected that Tang Renxuan would have such a serious accident right under her nose. She almost fainted at the time, and her crying never stopped on the way to the sightseeing bus.

She looked the child over and over again and found no external injuries. After asking the child, she learned that the child didn't feel any pain anywhere, which put her at ease.

However, Lu Ze's actions towards Tang Renxuan really made her resent him. If it weren't for Lu Ze's status and the fact that he had protected Tang Renxuan so well, she would have fought with Lu Ze today.

What she's doing now is holding her child and ignoring Lu Ze lying in the car, remaining silent. Don't blame her for being petty; what mother wouldn't hold a grudge about this?

"Lu Ze, how are you? Can you move your limbs? Are your bones okay? Lie down and don't get up. I'm calling an ambulance for you."

The doctor had already asked all these questions, but Song Guiyuan still couldn't put his mind at ease and asked Lu Ze again. He was still shaken by Lu Ze's fright.

Lu Ze pulled his leg back, placed his shoe on the front of the car, and groaned softly while holding his head in his hands. To say he was completely unharmed would be a lie; who wouldn't be hurt after such a fall? If he weren't in his prime, full of vigor and strength, an old man might have been seriously injured.

Fortunately, the car's speed had already decreased significantly, to about 20 miles per hour. Otherwise, it wouldn't have just crashed onto the car; it would have been thrown around and slid a long distance.

Lu Ze was secretly relieved. If he had been thrown out, he would have been half-dead or seriously injured, and the child would have been seriously hurt. That would have been terrible. "Oh, it's nothing. I just got patted on the back. The car wasn't going fast, so it's nothing serious. Tang Mama, it was my mistake this time. I almost hurt Xiao Renxuan. The most important thing now is to comfort the child. We can talk about compensation in a couple of days, okay?"

Tang's mother was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Lu Ze was still concerned about his own child. She didn't know what to say for a moment, and nodded blankly without saying anything.

Lu Ze tried to sit up, but after the doctor examined him and determined that he was alright, he didn't stop him. He helped Lu Ze sit on the front of the car and then examined the abrasions on Lu Ze's neck and lower back.

There were only small wounds on the back of my neck, with some glass shards embedded in the flesh. The condition on my back was slightly more serious than that on my neck. Because my clothes were loose, they were lifted up the moment I fell, and the glass directly hit my skin, resulting in several long but shallow cuts on my back.

When the rest of the crew arrived, Wang Zixuan, with her short legs, ran towards Lu Ze while crying. As she watched the doctor remove the glass shards from his neck, her usually expressionless face suddenly turned mournful, looking incredibly pitiful. She handed the doctor iodine and cotton balls to clean the wound.

Just as all the actors were showing concern for Lu Ze, the three directors, relieved to know he was alright, looked even more somber and picked up their walkie-talkies to speak to the staff in the distance.

"Get the logistics people here to me, right now."

In less than two minutes, a dozen people arrived at the scene in a prop truck used for filming. They stood in a row, trembling with fear, not daring to speak. He Ruikuan chuckled, kicked the ground with his toe, pointed to a small patch of ice left on the ground, and looked at the person in charge of the logistics team.

"Zhang Meng, tell me, what is this? Come on, tell me! What is this?"

"ice"

The logistics team leader looked at the ice, his face flushed, and he lowered his head, saying something softly, but in his heart he felt a little wronged.

Because there are gaps between the stones on the asphalt road, large-scale snow removal will leave snowflakes in the gaps. The logistics team first used snow shovels to clear them, then used large brooms to sweep them again, and then sprayed de-icing agent on the road. All of this was done starting at five o'clock in the morning. After the sun came out, they checked the road surface several times before telling the producer that the task was completed, and they also checked it again before filming started.

He felt that his team had done everything perfectly. There would naturally be water on the ground after the de-icing agent was applied; what could they do before it froze? Were they supposed to have people lick it clean? The ice was clearly freshly frozen, looking almost like ice porridge. Lu Ze's mistake was simply bad luck; only his spot froze, the rest wasn't. Who could he blame?

He wanted to say, "Didn't you tell us to continue filming today?" But he didn't dare. He could only answer with one word and then shut his mouth, taking the blame and strictly refraining from making excuses or arguing.

"You know it's ice? You know it too! The bonus for this film, none of the logistics staff will get a single penny. If you can do it, do it; if you can't, you're all fired!"

"I understand, Director He."

After being scolded, Zhang Meng simply admitted his mistake without arguing back. He had worked with He Ruikuan on many films and knew that He Ruikuan was actually quite petty, even a little narrow-minded. If he left today, he would never be able to work in this industry again. He would have to make this film even if it lost money.

After a commotion, the ambulance finally arrived. Lu Ze, limping, was taken away on a stretcher, accompanied by the producer, Liu Ying, Song Guiyuan, and Wang Zixuan.

The matter was thus resolved, and the production crew continued filming, shooting scenes for other actors, but with greater caution.

However, after Lu Ze completed his initial examination at the hospital and confirmed that there was really no problem, the video taken by a passerby was also posted online. Soon, the news was pushed very high and occupied the top three spots on the trending searches.
