Chapter 468 Losing Your Job
The shooting plan of the crew is very random.
If the actors are not in good condition, they may make multiple NGs or change the shooting scenes temporarily.
Cheng Ling can be sure that this "wire break accident" is definitely not aimed at a certain person.
Then, it can only be aimed at the crew.
Targeting the crew - it is most likely done by competitors.
In fact, every time a new TV series is filmed, each company has its own publicity methods.
Some write soft articles: promote new dramas through forums and news releases;
Some use social platforms such as Weibo and WeChat to create popularity and attract popularity by using celebrity effects, brand effects, and crew teams;
Some use celebrity hype and revelations (positive or negative news) to attract people's attention to new dramas...
Some also suppress the other party and praise themselves by belittling the same period, crushing the texture, the team, the acting skills, the special effects, etc.
These are all common means.
Acceptable.
But this kind of behavior of creating trouble for other crews, harming others for self-interest, and disregarding human lives is really despicable and shameful!
"The Song of Light and Blood" is a novel written by Cheng Ling word by word during her rest and sleep time, which embodies her hard work.
The adaptation into a script and the large-scale and careful casting are the reflection of her emphasis on the film and television adaptation of this novel.
This drama is like her child.
If a safety accident happens today, then "The Song of Light and Blood" will die.
The great efforts made by the director, producer, actors, and the entire crew will be wasted.
It's just a little bit short.
There are hundreds of TV dramas that die every year.
This one is not missing.
Cheng Ling held the broken steel bar in his left hand.
The two-thirds cut reflected a bright metallic luster under the sunlight.
"Master Cai, this cut is very fresh. It must have happened in the past few days... It may be something that happened at some point. Do you have any idea?"
Master Cai wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He was desperate.
But in despair, there was also frustration.
Master Cai liked this crew too much.
The director and producer were very friendly, the actors were not arrogant, and they cooperated with the wire work seriously. The other staff members were very enthusiastic and helped each other when they had something to do...
In just a few days, they were as familiar as a family.
However, after such an incident, the crew could not keep him any longer.
It was such a good crew, but he was leaving.
——Even if he died, he would die with a clear mind.
He wanted to see who would make him lose his job!
Luckily, Cheng Ling was very skilled, otherwise, it would not be as simple as losing his job.
Master Cai frowned and tried hard to recall:
"The day before yesterday...the day before yesterday I stayed by the wire equipment all day, and after I finished using it, I put the steel bars on the rollers and locked them in the warehouse."
The whole crew was listening to him.
"Yesterday, I was also at the wire equipment... until... until the fans came to visit yesterday!"
Master Cai clapped his hands suddenly,
"Oh, it was yesterday at noon when the fans came to visit. I locked the equipment and went to eat."
"After I came back from dinner, I found that the direction of the equipment lock had changed. At that time, I asked Xiao Liu from our crew if someone touched my equipment. Xiao Liu laughed at me for being neurotic..."
A crew member named Liu immediately confirmed what Master Cai said.
"Yes, Master Cai asked me about this. But I didn't take it seriously... In broad daylight, who would have nothing to do here..."
Master Cai stood up suddenly: "Is there still that person's fingerprint on the equipment!"
Cheng Ling felt the piercing pain in his right palm and shook his head slowly.
"Master Cai, don't get excited. I think the other party was most likely to have done it at that time."
"Last night's heavy rain washed away any traces at the scene, and fingerprints and the like could not be left."
"Besides, even if it didn't rain, we couldn't find his fingerprints - he is a meticulous person."
Director Xu asked: "What do you mean?"
"The other party knew about the visit in advance and mixed into the fan club, bringing tools for unlocking and special tools for cutting steel bars - these things are not available everywhere... He waited patiently nearby until Master Cai locked the door and left..."
Everyone present couldn't help but follow Cheng Ling's words and outlined the scene at that time in their minds:
A plain-looking man with the same fanatical expression on his face as the fans, calling out the fans' names together, but his eyes were always looking for opportunities.
Until Master Cai locked the equipment and left the scene.
He grabbed his pockets and slowly walked to the side of the wire equipment.
Looking around, no one noticed this corner, so he buried his head in unlocking.
He opened the lock, pulled away the loose steel bars wrapped on the top, exposing the steel bars wrapped on the bottom, and used some kind of laser cutter to steadily cut two-thirds of it. Then, he covered the steel bars on top, closed the door and locked it.
Then he walked back to the crowd.
He left the scene with his fans.
Calm and decisive.
"...How can we find him now?" Director Xu asked, "We don't have cameras on the set..."
Installing cameras on the set can easily leak footage from the filming process.
Similar things have happened before.
The owner of the rented studio sold the filming process, including the embarrassing scenes of the actors, to the paparazzi, causing the crew to suffer heavy losses.
Cheng Ling said: "We are trying to collect the information of the fans who came to visit the set today, as well as the videos and photos they took. That person might have been in the shot."
