After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Chapter 503 I Like You So Much

Then, Xiao Yi leaned forward slightly, and Li Jiawei took off his mask. Then he gently kissed the corner of her lips, and asked softly with affection and tenderness: "Are you tired?"

Li Jiawei looked up at him and nodded heavily. After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, even the best physical strength could not bear it. She said truthfully: "I am a little tired!"

Xiao Yi lowered his head slightly, and leaned his forehead against hers intimately, their noses almost touching, their warm breaths intertwined. He comforted her softly, "I have booked a hotel, go and have a good rest first. The crew heard that you are coming, and specially organized a dinner party tonight, we will go together then."

When Li Jiawei heard this, her eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Okay! I brought you a lot of hot sauce from China."

Li Jiawei and Xiao Yi often talk on the phone, and every time they talk about life on the crew, the staff's inability to adapt to the local diet becomes a common topic.

Although the crew later specially invited a Chinese chef, the supply of ingredients and seasonings is always limited in Africa. A hot and delicious meal with the flavor of home has become a luxury that everyone longs for.

After a few times, Li Jiawei took this matter to heart.

When they arrived at the hotel, Xiao Yi helped Li Jiawei unpack her luggage. He thought that what she meant by "bringing hot sauce" was just a few bottles of it for emergency use, but the scene in front of him surprised and delighted him.

In a suitcase, Li Jiawei's own clothes and miscellaneous items took up less than half of the space, and the rest of the space was filled to the brim with all kinds of hot sauces.

Xiao Yi felt warm in his heart, and couldn't help but reach out and gently hug Li Jiawei into his arms. With a smile on his face, he said with a hint of rebuke: "You are too practical. Carrying so many bottles of hot sauce, how heavy must it be for the whole journey?"

Li Jiawei leaned lightly in Xiao Yi's arms, with a smile on her lips: "There is a driver to take me to the airport, and you have been carrying the luggage here, how tired can I be?

I just feel sorry for you. You don't eat well here, and you're so busy that you've lost weight." As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently stroked Xiao Yi's cheek with her fingertips, her eyes full of pity.

Xiao Yi held Li Jiawei's hand with his backhand, gently raised it to his lips, and kissed it, with a bit of apology in his voice: "Everything is fine for me here, but you came all the way to accompany me."

Li Jiawei blinked, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes: "I have never been to this country. I have only seen it in geography books before. This time, it is thanks to you that I can come here to see it. I heard that you can see lions here. Is it true?"

Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and looked at Li Jiawei. Seeing the smile that could not be concealed in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, his heart was filled with emotion.

The corners of his lips slightly raised, and he said softly: "There is a wildlife sanctuary not far from where we are going to shoot the day after tomorrow.

It is the season for wild animals to migrate, and we can see zebras, lions, cheetahs...all kinds of animals, which is very interesting."

Li Jiawei listened with some hesitation on her face, and asked in a low voice: "Is it not going to cause trouble for you if I follow you to the shooting site?"

Xiao Yi reached out and rubbed Li Jiawei's head, saying, "No, there are family members visiting the crew as well."

But it was only when Li Jiawei followed Xiao Yi into the filming location that she truly realized the hardships they went through.

The actors almost all performed the explosion scenes themselves, one after another.

Although the explosion points were carefully planned in advance, there were all kinds of problems on the set. The shattering rocks did not follow the planned routes at all, and it was common for the actors to scratch their skin and leave scars.

Although Li Jiawei felt sorry for Xiao Yi, everyone felt the same way. On the contrary, Xiao Yi received the most care because he was the leading actor.

Li Jiawei sat in a convertible SUV, watching the gunfight scene being filmed in the distance.

Although this was not her first time watching a live shoot up close, the realistic gun battle scenes created on the set still shocked her.

The fierce gunfire was deafening, gun smoke filled the air, and the actors shuttled through the hail of bullets.

If it weren't for the cameras and busy staff surrounding her, she would almost think that what she saw was a real gun battle.

The shooting scene in front of me has a strong texture and unique camera techniques, which is very different from Wu Zhian’s shooting style.

As a manager of Universal Pictures, Li Jiawei couldn't help but start thinking in her mind, is there any director under Universal Pictures who can handle such a grand and shocking scene?

She went through the names and works of those directors in her mind, and finally, feeling disappointed, she came to the conclusion that Universal Pictures currently did not have any directors of such caliber.

There were some in the past, but after the Wang Zhe brothers got into trouble, capable directors all looked for other ways out.

From this perspective, if Universal Pictures wants to expand its business scope and achieve more comprehensive development in the future, cooperating with big directors in the industry is a shortcut.

Or it would be a good idea to select a few new directors with potential and focus on training them, and send them to great directors like Director Zhang to help them accumulate experience and hone their skills.

During the break between filming a scene, Director Yang and Xiao Yi walked towards this side side by side.

Director Yang saw Li Jiawei sitting in the convertible, and immediately smiled warmly and greeted her from a distance: "Boss Li, are you used to staying here? Do you feel bored?"

Li Jiawei saw Director Yang and Xiao Yi coming over, and quickly got out of the convertible, raised her hand and carefully gathered the scarf on her head that was fluttering in the wind, and said, "Director Yang, I'm used to being here. I was so engrossed watching you filming, how could I be bored!

Your camera scheduling and scene control are absolutely amazing!"

Director Yang laughed heartily after hearing this straightforward and warm compliment, and half-jokingly said, "I was worried that you would blame me for letting Xiao Yi suffer so much on the set."

Li Jiawei smiled even more and took Xiao Yi's arm affectionately: "Director Yang, please don't say that. You take care of Xiao Yi meticulously, but it is you and the crew who work day and night, and it is really hard."

After hearing this, Director Yang's smile widened and he joked, "You are so considerate. I feel relieved."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Xiao Yi, his eyes full of admiration, and sighed sincerely, "But to be honest, Xiao Yi's acting skills are solid and he is willing to work hard. I like him from the bottom of my heart."

Li Jiawei raised her head and looked at Xiao Yi tenderly, with undisguised love in her eyes, and said frankly: "It's not just you who likes him, I also like him from the bottom of my heart."

Director Yang was just subconsciously praising Xiao Yi. He didn't expect Li Jiawei to respond so frankly. He was stunned at first, but then he reacted and laughed heartily. The laughter was particularly loud on the set.
