"Genkawa-san!"
"Call an ambulance immediately!"
"Doctor! Where's the film crew's medical team?! Come quick!"
"Don't move him! Be careful of his cervical spine! Keep his head still!"
The film set instantly descended into extreme chaos and panic.
Exclamations, running sounds, and incoherent shouts from the walkie-talkie mingled together, like a pot of boiling porridge!
The male lead was seriously injured and fell into a coma while protecting the female lead during filming, which is undoubtedly a major safety incident that has shocked the entire industry!
Mai Sakurajima was quickly helped up from Yu Genkawa by the staff who reacted quickly. Apart from being pale as snow and having some minor abrasions, she was miraculously unharmed.
But she completely disregarded herself and practically scrambled back to Yuan Chuan You's side, wanting to reach out and touch his closed-eyed face.
The girl's hot tears flowed like a burst dam, and her voice trembled violently.
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have been so stubborn..."
Kato Megumi was the second to rush to Genkawa Yu's side.
She forced herself to suppress her inner terror with astonishing willpower, quickly knelt down to check Yuan Chuan You's breathing and carotid pulse, and after confirming that his vital signs were temporarily stable, she immediately went to the film crew's medical team to communicate.
It's already quite remarkable that she could remain calm at this point, but the girl's small hands, tightly gripping her phone, betrayed her inner panic.
Soon, the piercing and mournful siren of the ambulance came from afar.
Yu Minakawa was carefully secured to a stretcher by medical staff, lifted into an ambulance, and immediately sent to the nearest Tochigi Prefectural General Hospital, which has the best medical facilities, for emergency treatment.
Mai Sakurajima, Megumi Kato, and director Aoyama waited anxiously for over an hour before receiving the doctor's diagnosis: severe dislocation of the right shoulder joint, comminuted fracture of the left arm, and mild concussion.
Although such an injury is not fatal, it requires immediate repositioning, internal fixation with steel nails, and hospitalization for observation.
In the short term, Yu Genkawa will obviously be unable to carry out any form of filming work.
As a result, the crew was immediately filled with gloom. It seemed that the male lead would have to be hospitalized to recover, and the length of his recovery was uncertain. Therefore, the original filming schedule had to be suspended indefinitely.
The world won't stop turning because of one person's accident.
That evening, backstage at a mid-sized theater with a retro-artistic feel, deep within a bustling district in Tokyo.
Akane Kurokawa has completed her full set of exquisite stage makeup and changed into her elaborate costume. She is now making final preparations before the performance.
With less than an hour to go before the premiere at 8 p.m., her heart was taut like a bowstring, a mixture of pre-performance nervousness and a deep anticipation for the arrival of "someone".
She picked up her personal phone again, unlocked the screen, and subconsciously refreshed the interface.
Unfortunately, there were no new messages or missed call notifications.
The name that would make her happy just by seeing it didn't appear in the notification bar.
A faint sense of disappointment swept through her heart, but Kurokawa Akane quickly suppressed it and began to try to comfort herself.
"They should still be filming, right?" she tried to console herself. "Maybe they've filmed the last few takes of the location shooting in Tochigi Prefecture and are at a crucial moment."
After hesitating for a moment, Akane Kurokawa's fingertips hovered over the screen, and she finally couldn't resist sending a LINE message.
"Genkawa-kun, I'm about to take the stage. Have you finished yours yet? Please be careful on the road."
The message was sent successfully, and the bubble remained quietly in the dialog box.
She waited for several minutes, but the screen remained dark, showing no sign of a response.
Time ticked by, and the faint sounds of audience members entering from the front stage could be heard, making the atmosphere backstage increasingly tense.
As the pointer on the wall moved, Akane Kurokawa's heart gradually rose, and a vague and uneasy premonition began to creep into her consciousness like vines.
7:40...7:45...7:50
With only ten minutes left before the start of the event, Akane Kurokawa's anxiety reached its peak. She could no longer hold back and dialed Yu Minakawa's number.
"Beep...beep...beep..."
The long, drawn-out wait that came through the receiver felt like a hammer blow to her heart.
The call eventually ended automatically because no one answered, leaving only a cold, mechanical system notification tone on the receiver.
This complete loss of contact is highly unusual.
Could it be that the signal was bad at the filming location?
At 8 o'clock sharp, the stage manager made an unquestionable opening gesture, and the melodious overture was already playing in our ears.
Akane Kurokawa had no choice but to suppress all the unease and speculation churning in her heart. She took a deep breath and forcefully poured all her mental energy into the performance that was about to begin.
She is a professional stage actress and must live up to the expectations of all the audience members who bought tickets to the show.
During the two-hour performance, Akane Kurokawa perfectly interpreted her role with her strong professional skills and highly expressive stage presence, vividly portraying the character's inner struggles and complex human nature, winning applause from the audience time and time again.
On stage, she radiates brilliance and commands the entire audience.
Only she knew that during her final bow and curtain call, as the lights swept across the audience, her gaze involuntarily and quickly swept over the seat she had specially reserved in the second row.
It remains empty there.
A huge sense of disappointment welled up in her chest, but she maintained a perfect smile as she walked off the stage and back to the bustling backstage area, where she received congratulations from her colleagues and staff.
At 10 p.m., all the noise gradually subsided, the audience had left, and the staff began the final cleanup work.
Kurokawa Akane sat wearily in front of the vanity mirror and began to remove the heavy ornaments from her head.
At this moment, she picked up her phone again, which had been silent all night. The screen was still black, with no messages or missed calls from him.
Just as her unease and disappointment were about to turn into real worry and anxiety, her phone screen suddenly lit up, and a trending Twitter topic popped up immediately, with the "flame" tag after the text as glaring as blood.
[Breaking News!]
[The male lead of "Alice in the Land of the Dying," Yu Minakawa, suffered a serious injury on set and has been hospitalized. Filming has been completely suspended!]
Upon reading the title, Akane Kurokawa's fingers instantly turned icy cold, and her face turned deathly pale.
Volume 1 The Shining Morning Star: Chapter 89 Can a Visit to the Sick Trigger a Battlefield? (2-in-1 5k)
The news of Yu Genkawa's unexpected injury and hospitalization has generated another wave of online buzz due to the popularity of the previous trailer for "Alice in the Land of the Dying," leaving countless people connected to him sleepless and deeply troubled.
On Twitter, Yu Genkawa's fans were completely enraged and panicked.
#Yu Minakawa Injured#
Safety concerns regarding the crew of "Alice in the Land of the Dying"!
#Pray for the safety of Yuu Minakawa#
The popularity of the three trending topics continued to rise, and tens of thousands of comments flooded into the comments section of the latest update on Genkawa Yu's personal Twitter account within just half an hour.
The post was filled with countless emoticons expressing prayer, concern, and tears. After all, most of his fans are female, and they are genuinely worried about this situation.
On the other hand, Hoshino Agency's official account instantly became the main target for fans to vent their worries and anger. The official account's comment section was immediately flooded with intense comments such as "Useless agency!", "How do you protect your artists?!", and "We must give an explanation!"
The various fan groups belonging to Yu Minakawa were in complete chaos, with all sorts of messages, both true and false, emerging one after another, and an atmosphere of anxiety and unease permeating everywhere.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the VIP ward area of Tochigi Prefectural General Hospital was very quiet.
The light was soft inside the pure white hospital room.
Genkawa Yu lay quietly on the hospital bed, not yet fully awake from the combined effects of anesthesia and concussion. Although his face was somewhat pale, his breathing was steady.
His right shoulder was wrapped in thick bandages, and his left arm was tightly wrapped in white plaster and splints from wrist to elbow, hanging in front of his chest, looking quite disheveled and pitiful.
On the chair beside the hospital bed, Mai Sakurajima stood motionless, like a soulless statue, waiting.
She had already changed out of her costume and was wearing a simple white shirt and jeans. Her face was bare, and her eyes revealed undisguised exhaustion, as well as deep self-blame and lingering fear.
The girl's gaze almost never left Yuan Chuanyu's face, as if she wanted to etch his image into her heart.
Her hand gripped Genkawa Yu's warm right hand tightly, as if she intended to confirm his presence through this sole contact.
That night was incredibly long for her.
Sakurajima Mai's mind kept flashing back to the moment when Genkawa Yu rushed over and shielded her with his body. That image was like a sharp knife, repeatedly cutting into her heart.
Guilt, gratitude, worry, and an indescribable, burning emotion surged intensely within her.
Time slipped by quietly, and the sky outside the window gradually turned a hazy gray.
The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning, the person on the hospital bed let out a very soft, painful sigh. Genkawa Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he finally slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that catches the eye is the unfamiliar ceiling of the hospital.
The smell of disinfectant filled the air and rushed into his nostrils. Then, a sharp, dull pain in his right shoulder and left arm instantly brought the young man to his senses, and he gasped sharply.
Genkawa Yu subconsciously tried to move, but was firmly restricted by the pain and the feeling of being bound.
"Genkawa-kun! You're awake?!"
A woman's voice, thick with nasal tones yet brimming with immense surprise, rang in his ear, and he felt his right hand being gripped even tighter by a soft little hand.
With difficulty, Yuu Genkawa turned his head and saw Mai Sakurajima standing by the bedside. The girl's face seemed to show a look of surprise, as if she had been reborn from a disaster.
"Sakurajima...san?"
Genkawa Yu noticed his voice was a little hoarse, but he still asked, "Are you alright?"
The first thing he said after waking up was to show concern for the other person.
These words were like a key, instantly unlocking the floodgates of Mai Sakurajima's emotions.
Tears welled up uncontrollably again. She shook her head hastily, her voice choked with sobs, "I'm fine, but you... why were you so foolish? Who told you to rush over like that! You scared me to death... you really scared me to death..."
Sakurajima Mai cried and trembled, holding his hand tightly as if afraid that he would disappear if she let go.
"It's good that you're alright. Luckily, my body is quite resilient."
Genkawa Yu managed a weak smile, trying to comfort her, "You'll be fine after a good rest."
He could feel the other person's small hands trembling, and he could also feel the emotion that was almost overflowing, so his heart softened.
After a while, Mai Sakurajima quietly explained the doctor's treatment to Yu Genkawa: the dislocated right shoulder had been reduced and fixed, the comminuted fracture of the left arm had undergone internal fixation surgery, which was very successful, and with the mild concussion, she needed absolute rest and recovery, and it was expected that full recovery would take about two months.
"Two months..."
