The solution was quite simple: Chu Tian went straight to the photography crew on site.
On a film set, if your phone runs out of battery, there's nothing a V-port battery can't fix. If one isn't enough, then use two!
Even smaller V-port batteries pack over 10,000 milliamp-hours, and it's perfectly normal for more expensive ones to have 20,000 or 30,000 mAh—far superior to any power bank.
These batteries are rare elsewhere but commonplace on a film set. Whether it's cameras for the photography crew or LED lights for the lighting team, everything runs on V-port batteries.
This was a handy trick known on film sets, so Chu Tian immediately sought them out to charge his phone.
He wore a badge identifying him as part of the film crew. Coupled with his promise to use the battery right there in front of them and not take it away, they readily agreed.
Meanwhile, the celebrity guests, despite their leisurely pace, had also arrived at the destination.
