Becoming a top streamer is not accidental

The news that Zhao Yilin missed the Golden Classic Award for Best Supporting Actress quickly became a hot topic on major websites, but Zhao Yilin was still unaware of it. She was filming the final scene of "Reborn from the Ashes", and after filming this scene, she had an important date to attend.

At the preparatory meeting of the film "The Road", producer and investor Ma Deqing was worried. "I thought she would win the Golden Classic Award for Best Supporting Actress, but she didn't. Director Xu, should we still use her as the heroine?"

Xu Tianwen looked at him with an incredible expression, "Do you still want to change the heroine? Others are saying that this is a low-budget movie. If I didn't know her well, I would be afraid that she would not accept it. What are you thinking about?"

Ma Deqing sighed, "Alas, I'm just worried that the audience won't buy it. After all, her influence in the film industry is far less than that in TV dramas."

Xu Tianwen patted his shoulder and consoled him, "Don't worry, Zhao Yilin's acting skills are obvious to all, and she has a very good fan base. As long as she is willing to act, I believe this movie will be a big hit. The problem now is whether she likes this script or not."

Ma Deqing nodded. "Okay, I believe in Director Xu's judgment. Have we agreed on a time to meet her?"

Xu Tianwen smiled and said, "It's already been decided, the day after tomorrow. Mr. Ma, come with me. You'll feel relieved when you see her."

Ma Deqing was very curious about why Xu Tianwen was so optimistic about her. "Director Xu, you have never worked with Zhao Yilin, right? Why do you think so highly of her? If she was really that good, how could she miss the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Golden Classic Awards? Besides, she is surrounded by scandals right now. If any of them is confirmed, the movie will be over," Ma Deqing said cautiously.

Xu Tianwen continued, "She was selected from my talent show, but we only worked together on one commercial and then had no interactions. However, I could tell from her talent show that she was an extremely talented actress."

"As for the scandal, it was just a trick by some people who didn't want her to win the Golden Classic Award for Best Supporting Actress. Obviously, they succeeded. But when I choose an actress, I never look at her background or whether she has won any awards. I only look at whether she is sincere when acting. An actor must first have a sincere attitude and believe that the character he or she plays is real in order to act well. Zhao Yilin is such an actor."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I will go with you the day after tomorrow. I hope she can take this role. Our pay will not be too high. Do you think it will have an impact?" Ma Deqing said.

Xu Tianwen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about the pay. She never acts based on pay."

At the same time, Zhao Yilin finished filming and rushed back home to prepare for the meeting the day after tomorrow. She had not worked with Director Xu for 18 years since their last collaboration. She didn't know if her current acting skills would pass Director Xu's test.

Two days later, Zhao Yilin and Xu Tianwen sat opposite each other in the conference room.

"Yilin, long time no see." Xu Tianwen greeted with a smile.

"Yes, Director Xu, long time no see." Zhao Yilin had an indescribable feeling, like she was nervous, but not quite.

"I've seen your performance in 'Who is the Real Murderer', it was outstanding. So I would like to invite you to play the heroine in our movie." Xu Tianwen went straight to the point.

Although she knew this before they met, Zhao Yilin was still a little surprised. "Thank you Director Xu for your recognition, but I'm surrounded by negative news right now. Do you really not mind?"

Xu Tianwen waved his hand. "I said, I value your acting skills. I don't care about anything else. Besides, I believe you are innocent."

Zhao Yilin burst into tears of gratitude, "Thank you Director Xu for your trust. I will definitely cherish this opportunity and live up to your expectations."

"Okay, then I look forward to your wonderful performance." Xu Tianwen stood up and shook hands with Zhao Yilin.

Zhao Yilin also stood up, her eyes determined, "I will try my best."

After the two of them finalized everything, Ma Deqing hurried over and said, "Sorry, I'm late."

Xu Tianwen reminded him, "It's not that you're late, it's us who are early. However, as an investor in the film, Mr. Ma should treat us to a meal."

Ma Deqing agreed readily, "Okay, Director Xu, won't you introduce me?" In fact, he was attracted to Zhao Yilin as soon as he entered the room, but he felt embarrassed to offend her because no one introduced her.

Xu Tianwen slapped his head and said, "Look at my brain, I only think about eating. Let me introduce you, this is Zhao Yilin, a natural actor. This is Ma Deqing, the investor of our movie and the CEO of Nano Film. But he mainly did drama before, and this is his first time investing in a movie. So he is a little stingy, don't be offended."

Xu Tianwen's humorous way of introduction brought the people closer together, and they found a nearby restaurant to eat.

Ma Deqing's doubts turned into admiration after he met Zhao Yilin. It was the first time he had seen such a down-to-earth top star who had no celebrity airs.

After everyone, including their respective assistants, sat down in the restaurant and had three rounds of drinks, someone first mentioned the recent rumors about Zhao Yilin that had been circulating on the Internet.

Zhao Yilin was no longer surprised by this. "He's the vice president of Zhulang. It's normal. Zhulang.com has never been friendly to me. I used to attend some of their events for the sake of face, but now I'm too lazy to go."

Ma Deqing understood, "Sima Hongsheng, humph, I know why he did that."

Xu Tianwen was a little drunk, so he asked casually, "Why?"

Ma Deqing quickly glanced at Zhao Yilin, "Director Xu, you don't know? Then why do you think he was so nice to Mu Yan? I just didn't expect him to use such a low-level method this time and let his vice president spread rumors. I almost believed it. This doesn't seem like his method."

Zhao Yilin deliberately asked: "Believe in what? Believe that I will evade taxes?"

Ma Deqing was embarrassed, but still honest, "Yes, I never thought that the Vice President of Zhulang would be so irresponsible to spread rumors. He could just apologize afterwards, which is too easy for him."

Xu Tianwen is very smart. "He didn't just apologize and that's it. He should have been fired by Zhulang by now. As for the person who ordered him to do this, he will soon become a discarded child. However, this has nothing to do with us. We just need to make our movie well."

After being silent for many years, he really needs a good work to speak for himself. It is rare that he has encountered a good script and good actors this time. Although it is a low-budget film, he is also optimistic about it.
