Becoming a top streamer is not accidental

Chapter 11: Acting is so difficult!

After signing the contract, Zhao Yilin successfully signed with a well-known agency, which marked her official entry into the entertainment industry. Seeing that his daughter had found a stable career and the company had arranged a comfortable residence for her, Zhao Jianquan finally felt relieved and could return home with peace of mind.

The accommodation arranged by the company is quite good, a small suite with complete furniture and appliances, ready for moving in, and most importantly, one can live alone. This was a treatment that Zhao Yilin could not even imagine before. After moving into the new dormitory, she was so excited that she was circling inside.

After settling down, she went to the company to familiarize herself with the environment. Only then did she realize that there were many well-known stars in the company, and there were countless newbies like her, as well as many contracted artists who were not as good as newbies like her.

Here, Zhao Yilin learned a new term: artist. It turns out that not everyone is qualified to be called an actor or a star. Only those who are good at acting can be called actors, and those who are popular can be called stars. The rest can only be called artists.

Because she was the newly crowned champion of the talent show, Zhao Yilin still had a certain amount of popularity. The company even specially organized a small welcome party for the three of them, and most of the participants were unknown newcomers. Those big names didn't have time to attend such an event.

As soon as the welcome party was over, everyone dispersed without saying a word, which was just right for Zhao Yilin. She really had nothing to say to people she didn't know well in private, and she didn't know how to deal with this group of people. But the other two were different. They started chatting with all kinds of people in the company, especially those who they thought would be helpful to their future. Zhao Yilin's idea was simple. Didn't she sign a contract to be an actor in this company? She just needed to act well. Although she can't really be called an actor now, she believes that she will be able to do it in time!

Soon it was the agreed date for the advertisement shooting. The sun was shining brightly in the morning, and Zhao Yilin arrived at the shooting site early. She was accompanied by another young woman, who was said to be the assistant specially arranged by the company for her.

Zhao Yilin felt quite uncomfortable with this sudden "helper". After all, she had always been an independent person who liked to do everything by herself. So, facing this strange girl in front of her, she really couldn't figure out what she could do to help her.

However, assistant Li Chengshuang explained that this is actually a written rule of the company. When an artist reaches a certain level, he or she is eligible to have an exclusive assistant. And as the level rises, not only will there be more assistants around, but they may even have a series of supporting personnel such as bodyguards, drivers and secretaries. When talking about this, Li Chengshuang's eyes revealed a lot of envy, but Zhao Yilin didn't seem to be too interested in this. For her, she is more concerned about what kind of scripts she can receive in the future and what kind of roles she can play.

When the topic turned to this point, Li Chengshuang suddenly fell silent, and Zhao Yilin understood and stopped asking. There must be something inconvenient to talk about, so she didn't want to force it.

After waiting for a while, other staff members arrived one after another. They were a little surprised to see Zhao Yilin waiting here early. "You are Xiao Zhao, right? Why are you here so early?"

Zhao Yilin answered modestly: "Fortunately, I just arrived."

Li Chengshuang sat there motionless. When he saw the man leave, he came over and said to Zhao Yilin, "He is just an ordinary staff member. Don't pay attention to him. You are the champion selected by Director Xu himself. You don't need to curry favor with him."

Zhao Yilin frowned and said nothing. Aren't ordinary staff members human beings? Isn't she also an ordinary staff member? Zhao Yilin didn't like this assistant very much, but she didn't say anything since she was new here.

The staff arrived. After a long preparation, Xu Tianwen arrived. With him came another protagonist of this advertisement shooting, Wang Qiang. This is a well-known actor. Zhao Yilin has seen many TV series, movies, and sketches starring him. The person who used to be seen on TV has now become her partner. Zhao Yilin was a little timid and did not dare to step forward.

Li Chengshuang had already gone over to greet them with a flattering smile, "Hello Director Xu, Hello Teacher Wang." His head was about to hit the floor. Wang Qiang looked around, "Where's the leading actress? Is it you?"

Li Chengshuang quickly waved to Zhao Yilin, "It's not me, it's her." Seeing that he was mistaken for the heroine, Li Chengshuang spoke in a higher tone.

Zhao Yilin walked over and bowed to Xu Tianwen and Wang Qiang. "Hello, Director Xu, Hello, Teacher Wang."

Xu Tianwen scratched his head. "Yes, this is the champion. She was quite relaxed during her performance. What's her name?"

Zhao Yilin immediately gave her name, "Zhao Yilin."

"Yes, Xiao Zhao. There's no need to introduce Teacher Wang Qiang, right?"

Zhao Yilin bowed again and said, "Hello, Teacher Wang. Thank you for your guidance."

Wang Qiang smiled and said, "I don't deserve your advice, but I just want to have a pleasant cooperation with you."

In this way, even if the two protagonists know each other, they will go to make-up separately. Today we are shooting a promotional film for rehabilitation equipment, and the two protagonists are father and daughter. Wang Qiang is old enough to be Zhao Yilin's father. Zhao Yilin has memorized the script by heart, and every line seems to be engraved in her heart. The shooting will definitely go smoothly.

Zhao Yilin encouraged herself while putting on makeup. Assistant Li Chengshuang was already building relationships with the staff around Wang Qiang. Because of the little misunderstanding just now, she already regarded herself as the future heroine.

After all the actors had finished their makeup and other staff members were ready, the filming officially began. Zhao Yilin and Wang Qiang rehearsed the scene according to the script, and Xu Tianwen gave guidance and adjustments. She now found that the performance in front of the camera was completely different from the performance on the stage. She always couldn't find the camera, and she couldn't keep up with the other actors' scenes.

"Cut, start over. Zhao Yilin, how many times have I told you to pay attention to the camera and other actors? What are you doing? Are you acting a one-man show? A good actor should not only perform well himself, but also make the other actor's performance stand out." Xu Tianwen's rebuke made Zhao Yilin blush, but she was helpless. What he said was too profound and too difficult for a beginner to understand.

After many delays, one day passed and the filming progress was seriously delayed. Fortunately, the other actors didn't say anything, otherwise Zhao Yilin would be even more upset. The other actors didn't say anything, mainly Wang Qiang. Since such a big star didn't say anything, the others could only follow the progress.

Although Zhao Yilin was not talkative, she saw the tricks clearly, so she went to thank Wang Qiang when she was done. "Teacher Wang, I'm sorry to bother you."

Wang Qiang held the thermos cup and encouraged her like an old father: "It's okay. It's great to be able to achieve this level for the first time. Take your time and don't rush. I have a lot of schedules. If Director Xu says anything to you, just listen carefully. It will be good for you."

Zhao Yilin bowed gratefully and left immediately. She was afraid that if she didn't leave, she would burst into tears. Acting is so difficult!
