Becoming a top streamer is not accidental

The film market during the Spring Festival is always very competitive, like a thrilling battle between dragons and tigers. However, it is unexpected that Zhao Yilin's new film "The Road" was released during this period.

This decision has aroused doubts and concerns among many people, and many people are still pessimistic about this film as usual. After all, in such an important and fiercely competitive Spring Festival period, a low-budget film dares to join this fierce competition, which really makes people wonder whether it has lost its mind and fallen into a crazy situation.

Zhao Yilin herself was not upset at all, and could even be said to be calm and composed. She had long been accustomed to the negative voices and attitudes from the outside world.

After all, this is not the first time such a situation has occurred. Back then, she also struggled forward amid countless doubts and denials, and walked step by step to where she is today.

Looking back, the road was full of thorns, but she never backed down. Every time she was despised and misunderstood, she silently transformed these negative emotions into motivation to move forward.

It is precisely because she has experienced so many ups and downs that she can be so calm and composed now. Other people's opinions are no longer important to her. As long as she firmly believes in her goal and works hard for it, it is enough.

Moreover, Zhao Yilin knows that success is never smooth sailing. Those people or things that once gave her pressure and frustration have become the best catalysts for her growth.

They made her stronger and more confident, and also made her understand that only by constantly improving herself can she truly win the respect and recognition of others.

Therefore, facing this seemingly unfavorable situation, Zhao Yilin not only had no worries, but was full of expectations. She believed that with her own strength and perseverance, she would be able to break through the difficulties again and create her own brilliant achievements!

Zhao Yilin believes that as long as the quality of the film is good, it will definitely stand out. She carefully prepares every promotional event to share the story behind the film with the audience. As the premiere approaches, the popularity of "The Road" gradually increases, and more and more people begin to pay attention to this film.

Finally, the premiere day arrived. The cinema was packed with people, and the audience was immersed in the world of the movie. When the ending song sounded, the audience remained in their seats, reluctant to leave for a long time, as if they were savoring the experience.

After the silence, there was endless discussion.

"It's so good. The special effects are so amazing. It was rumored that this was a low-budget movie with only 15 million dollars. The special effects alone cost more than 15 million dollars."

"Hey, it's because some people's fans can't stand Sister Zhao's success that they are slandering her maliciously. We are used to it."

"It's true that modern fantasy is a rare genre. I didn't expect it to be so good."

"After watching this movie, I don't want to watch any other movies anymore. They're boring. Do you guys feel the same way?"

"Yeah, me too. I'll refund the tickets for other movies and exchange them for this one. I want to watch it carefully and seriously again."

"Me too. I have to invite my relatives and friends to come as well. It would be a shame if I didn't watch this movie."

The movie had ended half an hour ago, but the audience was still sitting in their seats discussing the plot. This had never happened before.

The cinema had no choice but to send its manager over to check. “Hello everyone, the movie has ended. Please leave the theater. We need to prepare for the next show.”

Someone asked the manager on the spot, "What's the next song? Is it still 'The Road'?"

The manager shook his head, "No, the next one is..."

When the audience heard that the next show was not The Road, they immediately stopped wanting to listen. "It's not The Road, forget it. If it is, I'd buy another ticket to watch it again. Does your theater still have The Road scheduled today?"

The manager's eyes moved quickly, "It depends on the situation. We may add a midnight show."

The audience filed out, "Let's go, let's go eat something first, and then come back to buy tickets for the midnight show."

The manager quickly reported this to his superiors, who added another show, which was still packed. The next day, the cinema's schedule changed slightly, with The Road showing much more.

Some fans secretly organized to lock the screenings of the movies starring their idols because they were afraid of affecting the screening schedules. But they still couldn't stop the increase in the screening schedule of "The Road". If the normal time schedule couldn't be increased for the time being, they would add midnight shows, adding them whenever possible.

After one week of release, the box office of "The Road" has been rising steadily, leaving all other films behind. All theaters across the country are increasing the screening schedule of "The Road", making it the only dark horse in the Spring Festival period.

Ma Deqing looked at the daily income and praised sincerely: "Xiao Zhao's acting skills are really amazing. It doesn't look like he is acting at all. It is so convincing. No wonder some people are addicted to making money by making movies. The speed of making money is really fast."

Before the film's schedule was over, Ma Deqing decided to gather all the crew members for a celebration party.

Xu Tianwen thought this was too high-profile. "Boss Ma, Lao Ma, forget it. The movie hasn't even finished yet, and you're already holding a celebration party. No other crew would do this."

Ma Deqing didn't listen to his advice. "Why not? If there was no such thing before, then we can start here. Even if no tickets are sold later, The Road will already be the champion."

He was right. Now the box office of "The Road" is three times that of the second place, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't catch up.

In the end, "The Road" won the championship of the 2025 Spring Festival without any suspense. At this time, Zhao Yilin was taking her son to spend the New Year with her parents in her hometown of Tongxin City.

Because of Zhao Yilin's absence, the celebration party was held after the movie was released. Everyone gathered together that day, and Ma Deqing gave a touching speech. He reviewed every detail of the filming process and expressed his sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in the film. Afterwards, everyone began to enjoy the food, with laughter and joy.

After three rounds of drinks, Ma Deqing walked up to Zhao Yilin, praised her acting skills, and revealed that many well-known directors have offered her olive branches. Zhao Yilin said she would continue to work hard and bring more works to the audience.

At this time, music sounded on the stage, and everyone started dancing to celebrate this wonderful moment. Zhao Yilin sat in her seat and had her own ideas.

Since she can handle the box office and the script, why not set up her own film and television company? In this way, she will have more say in the filming. She will never forget the time when she was cheated by the production company.
