Chapter 48: The Production Halts
"The situation isn't looking good."
Inside the soundstage office, Charles Roven rested his chin on one hand. "A fractured right radius. He's definitely off the crew."
Accidents were inevitable when shooting action scenes. Duke understood this, but his concerns lay elsewhere. "Will this affect our upcoming shooting schedule?"
"Don't worry, Duke."
The two production managers had worked on numerous sets and clearly had a wealth of experience in handling such matters. Robin Grande spoke up. "We've already contacted his agent and will provide appropriate financial compensation. Actors generally don't file complaints with the union, as it doesn't benefit either side."
"Yes, it's just a matter of compensation." Charles Roven was equally optimistic. "Duke, leave this to Robin and me. You just focus on filming."
This aligned perfectly with Duke's thoughts, giving him no reason to refuse. He had no desire to let the incident distract him. If he found the time, he would just have Sofia visit the injured stuntman on his behalf; the two production managers representing the investors were the most suitable candidates to handle the actual fallout.
Stepping out of the office, Duke headed straight for the outdoor set. The crew was still waiting for him to resume shooting.
"Joss, I need the flames from the explosion to surge straight through the corridor."
