When we began these lessons, all I knew was that movies and plays are fun to watch.

Like most people, I always focused on the actors or actresses.

It can take hundreds of people to make a movie or put on a play.
成百上千的人们参与电影或戏剧制作。
We seldom think about the people who work behind the scenes.

But without them, making a movie or a play would be almost impossible.
没有了他们，制作一部电影或戏剧几乎是不可能的。
Without their hard work,

we would never get to know so many great stories and stars!
