American Fame and Fortune Chapter 529

Chapter 529 An accident happened

The chaotic gunfire subsided, and the crew completed filming another gunfight scene. The pistol used by Martin was handed over to Bruce.

 After waiting for a while, he met Mene and was ready to have lunch.

Nolan came over and said, "Let's go together."

Martin followed him to a nearby restaurant and asked as he walked: "I just saw the latest shooting plan. Will all my scenes end today?"

Nolan emphasized: "It's a scene in Los Angeles." He asked Martin: "Do you have other plans?"

 Martin received another invitation yesterday: "Tom Cruise asked me to talk about something."

Nolan didn't ask anymore, and the topic turned back to the action scenes being filmed: “The scenes in Canada were all shot on snowy mountains. Can you ski?”

 Martin nodded: "I know how to skate. I've practiced it before, but I can't say I'm proficient."

 He once worked as a stand-in in a red-themed movie, in which there were many skiing scenes.

Bruce followed behind, and when Nolan walked away, he deliberately whispered to Mene: "Our boss is a typical example of a simple mind and well-developed limbs."

 The group went into the restaurant to eat.

  The crew rented out the entire restaurant, and lunch and dinner were held here during the filming. Martin and Nolan came in, which attracted a lot of attention.

Clayson, who worked as an assistant set decorator, finished his lunch quickly as usual and left the restaurant with two colleagues.

 Two colleagues with big bellies were looking for a place to rest in the shade.

  After lunch in the past few days, Clayson would take a walk near the street blocked by the crew.

There are many people in the crew who do this, but he is not impressive at all.

Clayson held his trouser pockets with both hands and wandered close to the alley where the props team was located. Since the crew used real guns for filming, even during the meal, the props team would leave someone to guard it.

 But the guard would sit on a chair and take a nap at this time every day.

Clerson has seen it several times.

This time is no exception. Between the two vans of the props team, the guy on duty is sitting on a recliner with sunglasses covering his eyes. He seems to be performing his duties, but in fact he is sound asleep.

 For many Hollywood production crews, the management of various departments is not particularly strict, and there have been many accidents caused by carelessness and negligence.

Clayson passed by like the previous few days. Everyone nearby had gone to eat, and there was no one else here.

His eyes fell on a cabinet and he coughed softly a few times.

 The guy on duty was unresponsive and probably went to the nightclub to party every night.

Clayson took out a pair of gloves and put them on. He ducked behind the van, placed the folding workbench beside the van, and opened half of the rear door to reveal the container inside.

  The prop team still has the most basic professional ethics. Guns, magazines, and empty ammunition boxes are all stored in the container instead of placed on the workbench.

  But the safety lock of the container was not locked at all.

After this door is locked, it is a bit troublesome to open it again by correcting the password.

 The Hollywood set where Clayson worked was basically open all day long as long as it was open in the morning.

 He is a set designer with dexterous and quick hands. He gently opened the cabinet door and saw the firearms used by the main characters.

 The firearms and magazines were all disassembled, and each magazine was loaded with blank ammunition.

The five pistols placed here are all M9s, and Clayson is not sure which one is the gun used by Martin.

He was just an assistant set decorator, and it was difficult to get in touch with the main actors on the set.

Time did not allow him to stay longer, so he casually took out a magazine, pushed out the six hollow-point bullets inside, took out the three bullets he brought and loaded them, then placed three more hollow-point bullets on top, and carefully put the magazine back. , the cabinet was restored to its original condition.

Clayson quickly looked around to make sure there was no one around. He walked through the long alley and turned into a street that was not blocked by the crew on the other side.

After walking a certain distance, he carefully took off his gloves. The facilities in the city center were old and some roadside sewer entrance fences were damaged. The gloves and blank bullets were thrown into different sewers.

Clayson was certain that no one saw what he did.

 Putting his hands in his pockets, he took a leisurely walk as he had done at noon in the past few days, and returned to the area where the set crew was.

  The crew's lunch break is over and filming is about to begin.

 In Martin's crew, Bruce has always been a member of the props team.

 Before other actors came over, Lao Bu turned into the alleyway where the props team was located and checked the firearms used for filming.

 “Don't you find it troublesome? Or you still can't trust us?”

　　A famous prop master complained: "We have been guarding these firearms and there will be no problems."

Bruce said: "Understand the responsibility."

The prop master wearing sunglasses said: "We understand you, who will understand us?" He couldn't help but add another sentence: "Old Bu, do you have delusions of being persecuted?"

 Don't say it, these two **** really do.

Bruce specially explained: "Don't you remember, the last time we killed a Russian spy? Think about it, it was second only to the United States. You are still working hard in Hollywood. Have you forgotten the KGB's illustrious reputation?"

The two complaining prop masters immediately stopped talking. Polar bears are too scary, and you can never be too careful.

Bruce checked the long gun first. He took out all the blank bullets from the magazine and then pressed them in to make sure that every bullet was fine.

 Because the actors who use these firearms have to shoot against Martin during subsequent filming.

 Then, check the pistol again.

 Bruce had just picked up the M9 used by Martin, and British actor Tom Hardy came over to pick up the weapon.

 The pistols were all the same, so he picked up an M9 at random. Bruce reminded: "Wait until I finish checking."

Tom Hardy didn't dare to confront Martin, but he didn't care about Martin's followers. He sneered twice and said, “Don't take yourself too seriously. No one wants to kill you or your master all day long.”

 Bruce turned to look at him.

Tom Hardy felt arrogant, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Am I wrong? Huh?"

Bruce was the guy who just got past the Brit with a mortar and said, "Watch your foul mouth."

"Haha..." Tom Hardy also knew that the other party was not easy to mess with, so he restrained himself a little, grabbed a magazine from the cabinet, and unloaded the bullets: "Watch it, prop bullets, prop bullets, prop bullets!"

 He unloaded three bullets in a row and placed them in front of Bruce: "Do you see clearly?"

The prop master wearing sunglasses quickly stopped between the two and said: "The crew will start filming soon, don't waste time."

Tom Hardy pressed the blank bullet back into the magazine, stuffed it into the pistol, and turned around without looking at Bruce.

The other party would not be filming the same scene as Martin today, so Bruce didn't say anything more and carefully checked the other firearms and magazines.

Other actors came over one after another to receive the guns.

 Bruce gave Mene the pistol, took the one Martin used, and went back to the set together.

Meine asked: "You had a conflict with Tom Hardy?"

Bruce was surprised: "It spread so quickly?"

Mene said: "That guy is telling people that you and I are slaves, and Martin is our slave owner."

Bruce frowned slightly and said, "I remember that the homemade rocket launcher made by Nicholson is still there. It is necessary to bring the crew here tomorrow."

Mene's eyes lit up: "Then the fuse will be lit and the rocket will follow the rocket launcher..."

Bruce nodded: "This is the way civilized people do it! When dealing with British gentlemen, you must use the way civilized people do it."

Mene said: "You must call me."

 Arriving at the filming set, Bruce handed the gun to Martin.

Action director Tom came over to talk about the scene with Martin and explained the precautions for the next action scene.

The dream sequence shot in Los Angeles was split into two parts. Martin and Ellen Page were on one side, and Mene and the others were on the other side.

The first shot in the afternoon was part of the shootout with the Dream Guardians after Mene, Ken Watanabe and Tom Hardy kidnapped Cillian Murphy.

 Martin will have nothing to do, just warm up.

Ellen Page, who was wearing a hood, came over and said: "That Tom Hardy is like a **** stirrer, spreading rumors everywhere."

 Martin nodded: "I heard it, don't worry about him."

The recorder went to the camera to make notes, and the crew stayed quiet.

 Martin and Ellen Page stopped talking.

As the shooting began, the sound of firing from a semi-automatic rifle was heard first, and a camera assistant from the crew held a Steadicam to shoot hand-held.

 In the scarred taxi, Tom Hardy opened the door, jumped out, held the gun with both hands, and pulled the trigger with the help of the cover of the taxi.

Three gunshots were fired in succession, and a gunman fell down as planned.

Tom Hardy immediately turned the gun and fired again.

Many gunfight scenes had to be completed through post-editing, which did not require actors to aim. Tom Hardy turned a bit too much and pulled the trigger again.

boom! boom-

The camera assistant who was shooting with a Steadicam saw the camera in front of him explode, and black fragments flew up.

At this time he heard the third gunshot, and suddenly his right hand lost strength, and then there was severe pain in his shoulder. The camera could not be held up, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

The camera assistant fell down, and a **** flower exploded on his shoulder.

Nolan sensed something was wrong and shouted: "Stop! Stop! Stop!"

 There was chaos on the set.

But Nolan's control and appeal were good. He picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Tom, don't move! Put down the gun, don't move! Doctor, where is the doctor? Emma calls 911! Everyone, please Don't move! It's just an accident!"

With Nolan yelling at the top of his lungs, there was no real chaos on set.

 In the waiting area, Bruce had already stood in front of Martin and asked, "How many shots did Tom Hardy fire?"

Martin is an experienced gun user and heard clearly: "Three shots were fired in the front, and three more shots were fired in the back. But the three shots in the front were no problem, they were empty bullets, and the back..."

Bruce remembers clearly that the first three rounds Tom Hardy unloaded were indeed blanks.

Tom Hardy put his pistol on the back of the taxi and held his head in his hands, not sure what was going on.

 Same as everyone else.

 Some veterans of the crew suddenly thought of "The Crow".

 This is not the first time something like this has happened in Hollywood, and it won't be the last time.

Tom Hardy knew very well that it was the bullet fired from his gun that injured the camera assistant.

I feel extremely regretful at this moment, why not let Bruce, that bastard, check the gun and the magazine carefully?
