Li Jiawei sat in the back seat, looking out the window at the busy scene at the filming location not far away. After thinking for a moment, she whispered to the driver, "Just stop here, don't go any further."

She was worried that if she showed up rashly, it would most likely disrupt Wu Zhian's carefully prepared filming plan, which would then affect the filming progress.

Ella came out of the shooting site and saw a black car parked not far from the site.

A woman in simple casual clothes is leaning against the car body, looking up at the sky, concentrating on watching the actors hanging on wires in the air while shooting action scenes and playing with each other.

Ella recognized that it was Li Jiawei, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, she quickened her pace, trotted to Li Jiawei, smiled, and said respectfully: "Mr. Li, you are here!"

Li Jiawei turned her head upon hearing the voice, looked at Ella with a gentle gaze, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with some concern: "Ella, you are here. Thank you for your hard work during this period!"

Ella quickly said modestly: "It's not hard for me. If anyone is tired, it should be Editor Xie, Director Wu, and every staff member in the crew. They are the most tired."

Li Jiawei turned around and looked at Ella seriously. She was obviously thinner and her face showed a bit of fatigue that could not be concealed.

These days, Li Jiawei has also been paying attention to Ella's condition. After all, she was someone who went out with her, and she heard about it yesterday.

Ella has devoted herself almost completely to the drama during this period. She eats and lives with the crew, and takes care of every detail personally. She is busy until one or two in the morning every day before she can rest.

Looking at Ella like this, Li Jiawei's heart was filled with emotion. She actually understood Ella's current situation very well.

Although Ella has worked at Universal Pictures for many years, she has always been doing public relations work. This is the first time she has served as a producer.

If Ella wants to develop in the film and television industry for a long time, she has to understand all kinds of matters in the crew, from early preparation, shooting process to post-production.

She is currently in the stage of learning and adapting, so this hardship is inevitable.

She looked at Ella with some expectation, and said seriously: "I know in my heart how difficult it has been for you during this period. When this project is successfully completed, I will definitely give everyone generous bonuses and reward you well!"

When Ella heard this, her smile became even brighter, and she quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Having said that, Ella knew in her heart that it was not just her. People like Wu Zhian and Xie Xu did not really care about the bonus.

Who doesn't want to be recognized in this industry? As a senior executive of the company, Li Jiawei has resources in her hands. Her recognition of the "Jian Ge" crew and her attitude towards everyone are what everyone cares about and values ​​the most. It is an affirmation that is more precious than real money.

Li Jiawei looked up into the sky, her eyes closely following the actors moving around in the filming scene, and asked with concern: "How long will it take for this scene to be finished?"

Ella stepped forward and said respectfully, "We started shooting this scene at five in the morning. According to the estimated progress, it will take another hour to finish."

Li Jiawei nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said, "The crew members have worked hard today. You can arrange for someone to order some hamburgers and fried chicken, and milk tea as snacks for everyone. We can also arrange a barbecue tonight."

Ella quickly said, "On behalf of all the crew members, I would like to thank Mr. Li for treating us! Everyone will be very happy when they know about this."

Li Jiawei waved her hand gently and added, "By the way, don't leave the extras behind, they are working just as hard. It's so cold and everyone is wearing thin clothes. Go to the restaurant and order some hot porridge to make sure everyone can warm up."

Ella nodded and said, "Okay! I'll arrange it right away." After that, she took out her cell phone and called her assistant, told him her request, and asked him to arrange it as soon as possible.

However, the filming progress was not as smooth as expected, and the scene was completed nearly an hour later than Ella expected.

Fortunately, Ella had considered this in advance and specially arranged to use an insulated box to store the food. When the food delivery truck arrived at the crew, the insulated box was opened and the hamburgers, fried chicken, milk tea, and hot porridge ordered inside were still steaming.

The crew members walked towards the food area one after another and got their own extra meals.

The extras watching other staff members get food were a little hesitant. Because the stagehands had not informed them that they would also get food, they were too embarrassed to move forward even though they were growling with hunger, and just watched from a distance.

At this time, a young extra couldn't help it and wanted to go forward to get the food. An experienced old extra quickly grabbed him and asked in a low voice: "What are you going to do?"

The young extra had been there for less than a month. He had just started in the industry and had often heard that some actors in the crew often treated guests generously. He didn't expect to run into that today.

He looked at the boxes of hamburgers and milk tea unloaded from the car, and he kept wondering if all this food would cost him more than two months' salary.

He couldn't help but sigh that being an actor really makes money, and he can spend so much money without blinking an eye.

He only ate two vegetable buns, an egg, and drank a pack of milk this morning, and hasn't eaten anything since then.

I struggled to get out of bed at three in the morning and rushed to the crew to put on makeup. Then I moved around, stood in line, and ran around following the rhythm of the crew. The amount of exercise was quite intense, and I was already starving.

The young extra turned his head and looked at the old extra Hu Cheng who was holding him with a puzzled look on his face, mumbling: "Uncle Hu, I'm going to get a hamburger and milk tea. I only had two buns this morning and now I'm starving."

Hu Cheng sighed helplessly, holding the young extra's hand tightly without any intention of letting go, and said earnestly: "How can you be so tactless, kid? We are just extras. If others don't specifically invite us to receive such a good thing, it will basically not be our turn."

The young extras stared at Hu Cheng with eyes wide open, looking at him in disbelief, and retorted: "Didn't you say you would treat all the crew members to a meal? Aren't we also crew members?"

Hu Cheng did not explain further, but pulled the young extra Li Huaiying towards the place where the extras received their lunch boxes, saying as he walked: "You have just arrived and you don't know many of the rules. After a while, you will naturally understand them."

Li Huaiying was dragged by Hu Cheng like this, feeling very unwilling. She couldn't help but turn her head and take another look at the several boxes of hamburgers and milk tea piled high.
