Relying on self, a tough guy, spells out a life of idiot
sweat and blood, with heart and soul, pursuit of great significance
life as a bet, leaving the hero story
"Police Story" theme song "Hero Story"
[Is an actor considered a high-risk occupation? ? If I make a movie like Jackie Chan, I admit it, but what about others? ]
At about 1:30 am on November 27, 2019, when actor Gao Yixiang was recording Zhejiang Satellite TV’s variety show "Chasing Me", he suddenly slowed down and fell to the ground while running, and suffered a cardiac arrest. Emergency rescue and medical treatment was declared invalid. He was 35 years old.
This incident quickly ignited the entire network. After that, countless people successively expressed their condolences to Gao Yixiang, and countless truths about the show surfaced.
Golden Rooster Award actress Song Jia released a message, writing "High-risk occupations, please protect yourself and take care of yourself while peers love them." has caused considerable controversy among netizens.
When did actors become a high-risk profession?
What are the firefighters, pilots, spider-men, drug police, bomb disposal experts, coal miners, construction workers on skyscrapers, etc.? These people walk on the brink of life and death almost every day, but the salary may not even be a fraction of those star actors.
Of course, there is also a category of high-risk actors, which is the action actors represented by Jackie Chan Jet Li, and the martial arts and stunt actors behind them.
Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh, and later Nicholas Tse, etc., cannot buy insurance in Hong Kong and have been blacklisted by the Hong Kong insurance industry. is full of countless unknown dangers during the filming process, and life is hard to be guaranteed. However, they can buy foreign insurance, so there are many restrictions on performances.
From 1983's "Plan A", Jackie Chan jumped from the clock tower and started his adventure on the screen.
later jumped the chandeliers in "Police Story", jumped high-altitude hot air balloons in "Dragon Brother and Tiger", jumped from a helicopter into the ice river in "Police Story 4 Simple Mission", and from a building in "Red Zone" Jumping from the top of the building to another, jumping from the building and playing with lions in "Who Am I", etc. With these shots of
, almost every mistake can be fatal. Such an actor's job is indeed high risk.
Jet Li's movie is not as terrible as Jackie Chan's, but it is inevitable to be injured or wounded, and he was almost paralyzed many times. Jet Li had already obtained a Class III disability certificate when filming "Shaolin Temple". Later, when filming "Huang Feihong", his leg broke. The second half was shot by his substitute Xiong Xinxin.
Wu Jing had a 3-minute underwater shot when shooting "Wolf Warrior 2", one shot to the end; when Lin Chaoxian was filming "Operation Red Sea", he overturned the tank while filming, and so on. Action actors like
are indeed very dangerous, but what about others?
Are those romantic and comedy movies of high risk?
Are those literary and artistic films that are as plain as water, science fiction films that look so fierce and cute, and those horror films that look scary but are actually ridiculous. Are they high-risk? Are
and variety shows that talk, joke, joke, or sing, perform sketches, and talk about cross talks, are they high-risk?
is not actually counted, but this life-depleted variety show "Chasing Me" is definitely a high risk. Therefore, actors participating in such variety shows directly become high-risk professionals. Why is
like this?
There are always people who say that Chinese movies are inferior to Hollywood blockbusters, but they often fail to tell the difference, and it gradually becomes a stereotype. As the highest-level representative of the world's movies, Hollywood naturally has its advantages, and many aspects of Chinese movies can still reach the Hollywood level, such as the top actors and directors, and the level of special effects.
is also Hollywood’s biggest advantage over Chinese films, which is its actors' union. The trade union cannot directly improve the quality of the film, but it can guarantee the interests and rights of the actors, thereby indirectly improving the quality of the film.
For example, the American Screen Actors Guild strictly requires an 8-hour work system, and there will be high overtime pay for more than 8 hours, so it is impossible to shoot overnight or continuously shoot for dozens of hours.
So, when we saw Tom Cruise made "Mission Impossible 4", he really climbed the Burj Khalifa ; When shooting "Mission: Impossible 6", he performed high-altitude downhill and flying helicopters. Because he has strong security behind him, including high insurance.
In addition to Gao Yixiang, the stars who participated in "Chasing Me" include Chen Weiting, Huang Jingyu, Zhong Chuxi, and Li Xiaopeng, Zou Shiming and many other Olympic champion athletes. As a result, the intensity of the show was so strong that even boxing champion Zou Shiming almost had an accident because of exhaustion, and Zhong Chuxi even revealed that he had taken the quick-acting heart-relief pill for three days. In addition to the high intensity of
, the shooting cycle is also very long. It often ends early in the morning, or even shoots overnight; the risk factor during shooting is also high, and the safety guarantee is not enough.
Therefore, there was an accident at 1:30 in the morning. There was no professional doctor to rescue him within 15 minutes, and there was no need for emergency equipment. He missed the golden 4 minutes of Gao Yixiang’s sudden cardiac death.
ultra-high work intensity and ultra-long continuous working hours can make all jobs into high-risk occupations.
Therefore, programmers are also at high risk. Advertising and e-commerce practitioners are often at high risk. All jobs that require long overtime and stay up late are at high risk. In the social section, the news of the sudden death of middle-aged professionals is no longer news.
When Andy Lau was making more than a dozen movies a year, he suffered from a serious lack of sleep. Only when Wang Jing let him sleep on the set for a few hours before starting work. For this reason, Andy Lau is very grateful to Wang Jing, so no matter how bad a movie Wang Jing makes, he is also on call.
These occupations and jobs were not originally high-risk, but those crews or bosses who pursued the ultimate effect and progress made it high-risk. If at this time, they have a strong backstage like the American Screen Actors Guild?
More than 8 hours of work will have high overtime pay, and there will be sufficiently high insurance. In this case, the boss will also seriously consider whether to shoot overnight.
The American Screen Actors Guild is so powerful that it can initiate an actor strike, which once caused Hollywood to suspend work for more than 100 days. Similar NBA player unions have lost more than 30 games in the season due to labor disputes. The hourly salary of
in the United States is over US$100, and the maximum daily salary is about 7000 RMB. Overtime pay is higher, and those with lines are more expensive. There will be adequate and thorough protection on site, including professional doctors on standby. These are not comparable to a contract with strict terms.
Jackie Chan's family class back then, at least one ambulance would follow each time the work started.
So, when Chen Sicheng was filming "Detective Chinatown 2" in the United States, he spent 300 million in 47 days, of which 18 million was spent on the naked scene in Times Square. Because American actors are really expensive, and they all start work with their watches.
is definitely not because of the so-called cold winter of the film and television industry, so that film and television actors have devoted themselves to variety shows. If the actor is in the film and television crew, it is also such a high-intensity filming, working overtime continuously throughout the night, it will be sooner or later if something happens.
So, we saw the actors reposting a "working no more than 12 hours " initiative . It seems that in our film and television industry, it is not the cold winter, but the great change.
