With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

Night falls, and tonight will be another all-night shoot.

The scene was brightly lit and bustling with people, accompanied by cheers, because it was Ren Jia's birthday today, and the crew had prepared a surprise for her.

There was a cake and flowers, and the whole crew sang her a birthday song. Finally, there was a group photo of everyone.

Ren Jia was overjoyed. If this group photo were posted, the hashtag "#TheDestinyForPhoenix crew celebrates Ren Jia's birthday" would definitely trend on social media, giving her more exposure.

Shen Li got a small piece of cake, which was her favorite taro flavor. But after only two bites, Xiao Yun took it away: "That's enough, A Li. You'll be running during your first night scene later. Eating too much will make you feel uncomfortable."

It's not that I'm controlling her diet to maintain her figure, I'm just worried that she might feel uncomfortable later.

Shen Li blinked and pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Not far away, Song Anyu watched this scene with a gentle and warm look in his eyes. But the next second, Xiaolong came up and blocked his view: "Anyu, it's time to prepare."

Xiao Long's face darkened. "What are you looking at? You look at me every day, your eyes are practically drooping."

Sister Hong is really carefree. It's been more than a week and she hasn't come to the set to check on things. Your potential top star is almost being snatched away by someone else. If he really develops feelings for Shen Li while filming, how will the team explain it to the company and the fans?

Song Anyu looked at Xiaolong, frowned, and asked, "Have you been in a bad mood lately? You look particularly pale these past few days, are you feeling unwell?"

Xiao Long let out a long breath and said, "Do you know how afraid I am?"

"fear?"

"Yes, fear. I feel like I'm about to lose my job!"

Song Anyu blinked in confusion, then thought of the time he got angry because Xiaolong had taken it upon himself to tell Shen Li that he wanted to use a camera angle to take a picture. Could it be that this incident had left him with a trauma?

"It's all in the past, just don't let it happen again, don't take it to heart." Song Anyu patted Xiaolong's shoulder, gently comforting him.

Xiao Long's eyes widened slightly, but he felt powerless to do anything about it. The key was that he couldn't bring himself to say anything about it, since it was still unfounded. After adding An Yu on WeChat, An Yu didn't take any further action.

If he had any further thoughts, he would immediately tell Sister Hong about it.

"Actors prepare for the next scene; equipment check!"

This scene depicts a nighttime chase by assassins in black. It involves a large number of extras running and chasing across walls and rooftops without any safety measures, hence the higher cost for these extras.

The director specifically selected actors with relevant experience from the extras, because it wasn't just about chasing and running; the challenge was that it was a scene set in the rain at night.

Once the bricks and tiles get wet, they become very slippery underfoot, greatly increasing the risk of injury.

The staff started attaching anti-slip stickers to the soles of the extras' shoes, which helped to some extent.

"Everyone, get into position now. Please be careful in the future."

Four water trucks were ready, and everyone was in a good mood. Shen Li was on one side with Song Anyu and on the other side with her idol Song Yun'er. The original novel described this scene as very tense and dramatic.

Shen Li was both nervous and excited at this moment.

"Water truck, start!"

Four water trucks simultaneously started artificial rain to wet the entire scene so as not to give away the mistake. Then, as the clapperboard sounded, the main characters began to run forward with all their might, and the camera quickly pushed forward on the slide to follow the scene.

At the same time, the aerial shots began to capture the black-clad assassins leaping onto the walls and rooftops. These extras were very dedicated, and they chased after the enemies without hesitation, moving faster than people on the ground.

"ah--"

Unexpectedly, at that moment, an extra on the roof beam slipped and fell. Because it was a rainy night scene, all the lighting on set was dim, and it wasn't until the scream of pain that everyone realized someone had fallen.

"Ouch...that hurts!"

The group member cried out in pain, and the director immediately stopped the scene. The crew's medical staff rushed over to check on the situation.

Shen Li nervously tried to get closer to see what was wrong. This was the first time someone had been injured so badly since joining the crew, and hearing the other person's cries of pain, she knew the injury must be quite serious.

But Song Anyu pulled her back from behind: "Don't go over there, I'll go take a look."

Before Shen Li could speak, Song Anyu strode over.

The extra was a young man in his early twenties. He seemed to have injured his ankle bone. He was curled up in a ball, trembling with pain. There was obvious deformation in his ankle, which was probably caused by the sudden force when he landed. It was very likely that he had a fracture or even a broken bone.

Song Anyu instinctively frowned. Luckily, he didn't let Shen Li see it, otherwise she would definitely be frightened.

The crew quickly called 120 (emergency services), as the person in this situation needed to be taken to the hospital immediately.

"How are you? Are you badly injured?"

Upon seeing Song Anyu return, Shen Li quickly went up to ask him what was wrong.

Song Anyu didn't hide anything and nodded slightly: "I hurt my foot, it might be a bit serious."

Shen Li looked worried: "What should we do? Won't this affect his future acting career?"

Hearing Shen Li's words, Song Yun'er said softly, "When I first entered the industry, I was just like you. I couldn't bear to see my colleagues on set get injured. But I gradually realized that getting injured while filming is a very normal thing. Even with protective measures, it's not foolproof."

Song Anyu nodded: "Yoona is right, injuries are common, you don't need to be so nervous."

Shen Li wasn't nervous; she was simply worried about the other person out of kindness.

Extras work so hard because they want to create more opportunities for themselves. If they damage their careers as a result, they may never have another chance.

The ambulance arrived quickly and took the person away. The cruel thing was that no one had the extra mind to pay attention to the injured extra. A delay of one day would waste a lot of money, and the rental fee for just these four water trucks was not cheap.

So there was no time to calm everyone down, and the scene quickly returned to normal, with filming continuing as usual.

Shen Li's performance in this scene was indeed not as good as before, but she still did her job well.

During a break, she returned to the lounge, but the incident still lingered in her mind. Finally, she couldn't help but say to Apan, "Apan, could you go to the hospital to see that boy who was injured earlier tomorrow and buy him some tonics to help heal his bones and muscles?"

Upon hearing this, Apan said, "Ali, don't worry, the production team will take care of this. They'll cover the medical expenses and compensation."

Xiaoyun glanced at Apan and said, "Ali, don't you understand? She's just worried about that person. Just do as she says."

Apan could only nod, while Song Anyu and Xiaolong, who were standing at the door, overheard Shen Li's words.

Song Anyu looked at Xiaolong: "You go too."

Xiao Long: ?
