After Yang Junyi was sent away, the entire crew was filled with anxiety.

With such a serious accident, filming can't be done today.

Li Wenyan had no choice but to announce a one-day work stoppage, and then called over the props and wire work teams to give them a dressing down.

When Jiang Feng returned to his residence, Yu Bo was lying on the bed reading the original novel of "Xiao Shiyi Lang" and pondering the character of Lian Chengbi.

Seeing Jiang Feng return, Yu Bo was somewhat surprised and sat up to ask:

"Why are you back so early today?"

Jiang Feng recounted Yang Junyi's story, and Yu Bo sighed in dismay:

"This is not the first time an accident has happened on the film crew."

"Two months ago, Wu Qilong injured his hand in an explosion while filming a pyrotechnic scene and needed several stitches. He just returned this month, and now Yang Junyi has had an accident."

Wu Qilong's hand was injured in the explosion, which made the news. Jiang Feng had also heard about it, but he hadn't joined the crew yet.

"It seems being an actor isn't so easy."

Jiang Feng joked with Yu Bo with a smile:

"Senior brother, please take good care of yourself."

Yu Bo felt a warmth in his heart and was about to say something when Jiang Feng continued:

"What if something happens to you? Who will I eat and where will I live?"

Yu Bo laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, I thought you were concerned about me, but it turns out you were worried about yourself."

The two have gotten along very well during this time, and Jiang Feng has come to regard him as his elder brother.

Yu Bo was only one year ahead of Jiang Feng, but he was four years older than Jiang Feng.

He is honest, kind, and warm-hearted. Although he is not familiar with Jiang Feng, he treats him very well and is a very responsible senior brother.

Originally, extras like Jiang Feng didn't have their own dormitories. They had to take the crew's shuttle bus from the city to the film set every day and go back home after work in the evening.

Sometimes Jiang Feng would finish work late, and it would be past midnight when he got back to school.

Yu Bo couldn't bear to see Jiang Feng going through all this trouble, so he let him stay in his room.

Of course, this was Yu Bo's first time acting, so his treatment couldn't compare to that of Wu Qilong and Zhu Yin. He only had a single room with a single bed.

Jiang Feng bought a cot and started living with Yu Bo in that makeshift place. It was tough, but better than getting up early and working late every day.

As the two were chatting, Zhang Jin from next door arrived.

"You've come at the right time. Let's have a drink together, the three of us, to calm your nerves."

Jiang Feng took out a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and his treasured snacks, including peanuts, broad beans, chicken legs, pickled chicken feet, and braised pork head meat.

These are all vacuum-packed, otherwise they would have spoiled long ago.

Shidu is not far from the city, but transportation in the mountains is inconvenient, making it very difficult to go out.

Wu Qilong even learned to ride a horse so he could go out to buy snacks, as horseback riding is the most convenient mode of transportation here.

"Where did you get so much food?"

Yu Bo and Zhang Jin's eyes lit up. They had been eating the crew's boxed lunches for a while now, and their mouths were practically watering at the thought.

"Hehe, I asked the group leader to bring it for me."

Jiang Feng took out three disposable plastic cups and poured one for Yu Bo, one for Zhang Jin, and one for himself.

The three of them enjoyed snacks and drinks.

"Brother Jin, you must be terrified today, right? Come on, let's have a little something to calm you down."

Jiang Feng and Zhang Jin clinked glasses and took a sip.

Zhang Jin watched helplessly as Yang Junyi fell down right in front of him.

However, he was not as scared as Jiang Feng had imagined.

"Brother, you underestimate me. I've been in this business for so many years, what haven't I seen?"

Zhang Jin was a Wuying-level athlete. After retiring, he joined Yuan Heping's Yuan Family Troupe as a martial arts instructor and stuntman.

For him, getting injured while filming is commonplace.

He served as a stunt double for Jiao Enjun and Jia Jingwen in "Little Li Flying Dagger", and for Yang Ziqiong and Zhang Ziyi in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Two years ago, he moved from behind the scenes to the forefront, playing a small role in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Huang Haibing.

Xueying in "Xiao Shiyi Lang" is his second role.

"Alright, I was judging people by my own narrow perspective and underestimated them. I'll punish myself with a drink."

As Jiang Feng spoke, he picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp, silently increasing his alcohol tolerance by 20 points.

He learned this drinking skill from Zhang Jin, so he could say he used what he learned from him.

Jiang Feng remained expressionless after downing a glass of wine.

"You're not very old, but you can hold your liquor quite well."

Zhang Jin and Yu Bo both looked at Jiang Feng with new respect.

"Brother Jin, is Brother Yang alright?" Jiang Feng asked, chewing on a peanut.

I doubt it.

Zhang Jin shook his head and sighed.

"Yang Junyi had been injured before, with a severe back injury. He had been forcing himself to continue filming, but this time he fell from such a height. His condition is not optimistic, and he probably won't be able to continue filming."

"Is it that serious?"

Jiang Feng was taken aback; he hadn't expected Yang Junyi to be so badly injured.

"What about our show?"

Zhang Jin took a sip of wine and said:

"What's the rush, you're just an extra? If the sky falls, the director and the others will hold it up. It's none of your business to worry about it."

Jiang Feng smiled awkwardly; this matter really didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

Director Li Wenyan is very worried.

Just now, he received a call from assistant director Zhou Guodong.

Yang Junyi's injuries were severe, reaching the level of a third-degree disability. Not only was he unable to continue filming the remaining scenes, but he would also never be able to act again.

The production team has purchased insurance for all the actors, so there's no need to worry about the costs.

However, all the scenes Yang Junyi had filmed before were wasted.

What troubled Li Wenyan the most was that he didn't know where to find a skilled action actor to replace Yang Junyi.

Li Wenyan called over the casting director Yan Jing and instructed him to find a suitable actor as quickly as possible.

Yan Jing was also at his wit's end. Where could he find someone in such a short time?

Actors are easy to find, but people who know kung fu are hard to find.

Yan Jing thought of Zhang Jin, who was from Yuan's stunt team and knew many action actors. Perhaps he could recommend a suitable candidate to him.

When he found Zhang Jin, Zhang Jin was so drunk he couldn't tell which way was which, and he was toasting with a wine glass against a table leg.

Yu Bo wasn't much better off; his face was flushed, and his eyes were glazed over with drunkenness.

Jiang Feng, however, acted as if nothing had happened.

"How did they get so drunk? Even if they're not working today, they shouldn't be this indulgent!"

Yan Jing looked at him with a disappointed expression.

Jiang Feng said, "Director Yan, tell me what's wrong. I'll pass it on to them when they wake up."

Yan Jing knew Jiang Feng; Wang Jinsong had spoken to him before, and it was he who brought Jiang Feng to the film crew.

"You must be Wang Jinsong's student, right? I can tell you."

"Once Zhang Jin wakes up, ask him if there are any suitable stunt actors who can replace Yang Junyi. If so, have him contact me as soon as possible."

After Yan Jing finished speaking, he turned to leave.

Jiang Feng suddenly called out to him.

"Director Yan, do you think I'm suitable?"
