After the divorce, I became a rich girl

The food delivery staff was still carrying food down from the truck. He thought to himself, even if the main actors ate as much as they wanted, they wouldn't be able to finish all this. Why couldn't they share some with the extras?

After a while, Hu Cheng pulled Li Huaiying to the place where the extras were getting their lunch boxes. There were already many extras holding disposable paper bowls, drinking steaming hot ginger soup.

Everyone had been freezing outside for a long time, and they were wearing thin clothes, so they were almost frozen through. Drinking some ginger soup was just the right thing to prevent a cold.

When extras get together, the topic usually revolves around celebrity gossip, or they share rumors they heard from various crews. Occasionally, they will enthusiastically fantasize about the day when they will be spotted by a big director, become famous overnight, and rise to the pinnacle of life.

At this time, someone saw Hu Cheng coming over, and quickly picked up two disposable paper bowls from the side, handed them to him enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Brother Hu, drink some ginger soup to warm yourself up. It's really cold today."

Hu Cheng reached out to take the paper bowl, first filled a bowl for Li Huaiying, handed it to him, and said, "Have some ginger soup, this stuff is more solid than that milk tea, it can drive away the cold and keep you warm, it's better than anything else!"

Li Huaiying quickly took the ginger soup with both hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Hu."

Hu Cheng smiled and said nothing more.

In his eyes, Li Huaiying was just like himself when he first entered the extras industry more than ten years ago, a complete greenhorn who knew nothing.

At that time, his heart and eyes were filled with dreams of becoming famous overnight, and he hoped day and night that he would shine one day.

But time flies. After so many years of hard work, those unrealistic dreams have long been like a candle in the wind, extinguished without leaving even a trace.

After drinking a few sips of ginger soup, his body gradually warmed up, and the extras surrounding him immediately opened up and started gossiping.

An extra looked at the crew who were still moving boxes to the set and asked curiously, "Which artist is treating us today? They're buying so many things, can't we get some too?"

After hearing what the man said, many people looked in the direction he was looking.

There were already more than a dozen boxes of food piled up on the ground, which didn't look like the amount was just enough for the crew and actors. So someone chimed in: "Look at the amount, maybe we can really get some."

At this time, an extra squeezed in and said excitedly: "I just came over from the stage manager, and heard him say that the big boss is here today. This time it's the big boss's treat, and there will be a barbecue tonight!"

Hu Cheng listened to everyone's discussion and said thoughtfully, "No wonder. I saw that after the filming was over, the actors who usually stayed in the RV all went to the big tent."

A group actor was full of pride and couldn't wait to share: "I just saw the big boss, she was a very beautiful woman. She was followed by a group of people, and producer Ai was also among them."

Another extra's eyes lit up, and he came forward and asked curiously, "I saw gossip online saying that this big boss's husband is Xiao Yi. Is this true or false?"

Immediately, another extra rushed to answer: "Of course it's true. This matter has become a hot topic, how can it be false?"

Then, this group of big men all made "tsk tsk" sounds.

One of them said with envy and a bit of emotion: "How come Xiao Yi is so lucky? He is a big star and married such a rich wife. He is definitely a winner in life.

Alas, if I could ever be noticed by a big director, even if I’m not as famous as Xiao Yi, I’d be content with just a little fame.

You don’t have to work so hard here every day, playing supporting roles, working hard for a whole year, and earning less than what the stars earn in half a day.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter around him. Some people laughed at him for daydreaming, some laughed at him for having too much in his mind, but there was also a hint of helplessness and self-mockery in the laughter.

After all, who among the extras working in this circle doesn’t have a dream of becoming famous?

"You kid, don't you take a look at yourself? You are such an ugly creature, which director would be interested in you?"

"You are quite ambitious. You even want to compete with Xiao Yi. Aren't you afraid that the wind will blow your tongue away?"

"But then again, you have some unique looks. Maybe one day you'll get lucky and become a special guest actor. If you can become a big special guest, you'll make a lot of money."

......

You and I chatted back and forth, full of joking. Of course, these were just jokes.

This group of extras are used to joking and teasing each other in their daily interactions. There is no malice involved and the banter adds a bit of fun to the boring life of being an extra.

A group of people were talking and laughing happily, when suddenly, a field attendant came over quickly and said loudly, "The big boss is treating us, everyone come over and have something to eat!"

Hu Cheng was a little surprised, and looked at the stage manager and asked, "Are there any roles for us extras as well?"

The stagehand smiled and nodded: "You have it. The big boss has specifically told you that all the actors who participated in the performance today have worked hard. You have it."

On the other side, Li Jiawei held a brief meeting with the director team, screenwriter team and actors in the big tent.

During the period, Ella reported in detail the filming progress of "Jian Ge". After hearing this, Li Jiawei was quite satisfied. So far, the filming progress of "Jian Ge" has been steady and solid, which is completely within her expectations.

As she gained a deeper understanding of the TV production process, Li Jiawei was able to appreciate the hardships involved in making a TV show. The polishing of every shot and every plot is the result of the hard work of countless people.

Whether a drama can be successful, gain praise in the industry and win the love of the audience does not depend solely on the performance of the actors.

Behind this is the hard work of the entire crew for months or even one or two years.

From early planning and script writing to every link in the shooting process and then to the meticulous production in post-production, every step is the fruit of everyone's hard work.

Because of this, Li Jiawei never hesitates to praise the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew and also gives them generous material rewards.

They work silently behind the scenes and are the key force driving the smooth production of the series.

As for the artists, she would naturally give verbal affirmation and encouragement.

However, she believes that material rewards can be reserved. After all, when the series is successfully broadcast, the artists will naturally receive the flowers and applause that belong to them and get the honor and rewards they deserve with their own performances.

This is an honor that is difficult for those working behind the scenes to achieve. It is also because of this that many sharp gaps frequently appear in the entertainment industry.
