Chapter 490 isn't even enough to maintain basic calorie intake.
Chapter 490 isn't even enough to maintain basic calorie intake.
Ye Sanqing received the lunch photo sent by Lin Mo and chuckled.
She looked at the lunch in front of her, then at the photo, and laughed again.
Although it seems inappropriate to laugh, since the extras really have it tough eating this, it's truly ridiculous that Ye Wanyin and Lu Wangqian are so stingy...
"What's wrong?" Sheng Hanyu asked.
They didn't order lunch today; since they were flying back in the afternoon, they figured they'd just grab something to eat at the airport.
Although it's just a casual meal, the food at the airport's upscale restaurants is still pretty good. Even fusion cuisine, which sounds unusual, is quite decent.
At least the large steak in front of Ye Sanqing looked incredibly delicious.
Therefore, when Ye Sanqing showed him the picture, a strong contrast was formed.
Sheng Hanyu was shocked and confused.
"No...won't anyone send it out like this?"
Spicy stir-fried cabbage sounds reasonable, but if it's the only dish served with steamed buns, then it doesn't make much sense.
The extras were just squatting by the roadside eating from plastic bags. I don't know how Lin Mo filmed it, but she managed to capture a sense of chaos and turmoil.
Perhaps it's because the scene was already chaotic and disorganized...
"I heard that someone posted it before and was immediately kicked out of the crew and even asked to pay compensation, for leaking secrets and such. It's really unethical."
Ye Wanyin's drama crew was also filmed in a film and television city. It should be said that nowadays, most of these mass-produced fantasy dramas or period dramas are filmed in this place.
This place is roughly in the north, even further north than Beijing. When it was built, the idea was to create a local economic hub, similar to film studios in the south, to boost the local economy and form a small-scale economic ecosystem.
But while the idea was good, the weather disagreed.
When it's too cold, filming is impossible; production has to stop.
After all, people can withstand temperatures of minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius, but machines might not be able to operate...
Fortunately, there were quite a few tourists coming to see the snow, which helped maintain a semblance of balance.
Therefore, the extras who usually work in this film and television city are mainly local residents who come here for odd jobs, or they are brought by the film crew themselves.
Because if you want to pursue your dreams, there are definitely more opportunities in the film and television cities in the south.
Ye Sanqing said Ye Wanyin was unkind because people were already doing odd jobs to supplement their family income, which meant that the compensation was basically impossible to achieve.
Moreover, confidentiality clauses rarely involve boxed meals.
"The weather isn't fully warm yet, so this probably won't be enough to maintain basic calorie needs..."
Sheng Hanyu frowned and said, "Besides, even if Ye Wanyin is stingy and immature, Lu Wangqian has already started a company. Is he really going to do this? Is he going to go bankrupt?"
Sheng Luoxin glanced at the photo and sighed, "Twenty years ago, when conditions weren't this good, we tried to include chicken legs in our boxed lunches. Otherwise, we wouldn't have enough to eat, and what if we got dizzy and had an accident?"
“This is the dream core, a dream back to twenty years ago…” Sheng Hanyu said.
"Is that how you use that word?" Ye Sanqing laughed. "Although I also feel that Ye Wanyin's matter has nothing to do with me, the extras are all quite innocent. What do you think is the best way to resolve this?"
Sheng Hanyu suddenly felt a surge of energy.
Although it wasn't the first time Ye Sanqing had asked for his opinion, after his mindset changed, he gradually began to feel that he had to perform well in such situations.
After thinking it over, he said, "There are two or three ways."
"speak."
Ye Sanqing continued to prepare the steak in front of him, while gesturing for him to continue.
"First, report the food safety issue to the Food Bureau, but if the food they provide meets hygiene standards, this step will basically have no impact."
"Secondly, even if extras are temporary workers, they are protected by labor laws, and there are regulations regarding minimum meal allowances. So we can give that a try."
"Third, see if Nangong Wang has any plans to visit the set... I mentioned him because I remembered that he collaborated with your older cousin on a food documentary before."
Ye Sanqing remembered that he seemed to have overheard Nangong Wang and Tang Qiyuan discussing this matter on the film set before, and nodded.
"Wouldn't it be feasible to have him deliver meals under the guise of a public service initiative, such as caring for staff, and then include it as an extra segment or bonus scene in a documentary?"
“These three things don’t interfere with each other and can be done simultaneously,” Sheng Hanyu summarized. “Of course, this is an ideal plan, and it also depends on what my cousin thinks. The documentary part isn’t actually necessary, but food delivery is something we can do.”
"Hmm...you make a good point, and besides the documentary, we can also find someone to promote it. And Ye Wanyin has no reason to stop us from doing charity work."
Ye Sanqing thought for a moment and added, "If Xiao Wang is willing to do this, I can cover the expenses."
“He loves doing this kind of thing, and Ye Wanyin offended him the other day, and he complained to me for a long time. This is a good opportunity to get back at her, so he definitely won't refuse. We just need to find a time when he doesn't have any other plans. As for the fee, it's negotiable; we'll see what he thinks.”
As she spoke, Sheng Hanyu sent a message to Nangong Wang, and after a moment said, "He said the plan is very good, but he won't have time until next week."
"I hope Ye Wanyin has finished filming by next week... If so, I have to commend her for her efficiency. But unfortunately, even efficient production of garbage is still garbage." Ye Sanqing laughed. "Oh, there are still two months left. No rush, there's plenty of time."
"The key to this isn't doing charity work for a few days, because it's impossible to do it for two months. It's just about creating a buzz, so we'll arrange for some media outlets later," Sheng Hanyu added.
Ye Sanqing nodded.
Sheng Luoxin listened from the side and suddenly noticed something.
Sheng Hanyu seems to be much better at handling things than his father.
Unbeknownst to him, Sheng Hanyu had grown into a capable adult.
But all he does is sit at home and daydream...
Sheng Luoxin's negative thoughts were forcibly suppressed in less than a minute.
That won't do. Things are starting to improve now, and he's gone out to work. Things will only get better from here on out.
Yes, that's right. I can't be depressed, especially since I have health problems. If they see me like this, they'll worry again.
The more this is the case, the more we should live a healthy life and exercise regularly.
The things he bought today were nutritional supplements and health products that he hadn't been exposed to much before. Of course, they were all purchased according to the doctor's advice, which are good for the heart and won't lead to overnutrition.
In addition, they also purchased some home furnishings to make living in the venue more comfortable, as well as spare clothes, and made quite a haul.
But thinking about their own lives on set, and seeing that these extras could only eat cabbage and steamed buns, even though they had no connection, Sheng Luoxin felt a little ashamed.
Fortunately, Ye Sanqing and his group had a way to deal with this.
