Becoming a top streamer is not accidental

Chapter 22: Spending New Year's Eve on the Set for the First Time

After Tian Wei's crew finished filming, Zhao Yilin immediately joined another crew. Unfortunately, this time she could only play an insignificant supporting role. Holding the script in her hand, Zhao Yilin was full of doubts and uneasiness: How many times would she have to play such a supporting role before she could finish?

Thinking back to the five-year contract she signed with the company, Zhao Yilin couldn't help but feel frustrated. Did she have to run around in obscurity in various crews for the next five years, playing those small roles with no sense of existence? And these five years are undoubtedly the most precious period for a young girl - from the age of 19 to 24, it is the time when youth blooms and the beauty is in full bloom!

After joining the crew, Zhao Yilin discovered that the shooting techniques of this crew were different from those of other crews. Other crews shot in random order, but this crew was a rare one that shot in order.

This meant that although Zhao Yilin had a small role, the filming time would be very long. She counted on her fingers and was afraid that they would still be filming during the Chinese New Year. She didn't know how many days off there would be during the Chinese New Year, and she couldn't ask directly because she was not influential. She could only ask around, and finally found out that there would be no day off during the Chinese New Year, and everyone had to spend the Chinese New Year on the set, because the filming schedule had not been kept up, and they had to catch up.

After confirming the accuracy of the news, Zhao Yilin called home. "Dad, I won't be going home for the New Year. I'm staying on the set to film."

Zhao Jianquan felt distressed for a moment, "Okay, don't worry about your family, take care of yourself."

Zhao Yilin agreed readily and quickly hung up the phone. If she didn't hang up, she was afraid her father would hear her crying. This was the first time she didn't spend the New Year with her family, so it was normal to be sad and cry. But she quickly wiped her tears and returned to the filming, hoping that such hard work would be rewarded a little.

At Zhao Yilin's home in Tongxin City, Zhao Jianquan was leading the whole family to pack their luggage. They didn't bring many clothes, but they filled their bags with various local specialties and snacks.

My daughter has been away for a year and has never come back? She always stays in that place called Golden Land to film. I heard that the transportation there is not very convenient and the prices are also high.

Every time Yilin received her pay, she would send the rest of the money home as soon as possible, leaving a little for basic living expenses. Although she filmed many dramas, she was always a minor role, so she probably didn't make much money, so she must have lived frugally.

Zhao Jianquan asked someone to help him with the travel guide this time, and bought the cheapest ticket to go to Huangjin. Although it took a long time, he just treated it as playing at home.

When Zhao Yilin, who was filming, heard Wang Ping say that she received a call from her father and brought his family to Huangjin to spend the New Year with her, she still thought that Wang Ping was lying to her.

She rolled her eyes at her and said, "Don't make such jokes in the future. It's not funny at all." He knew that the closer it got to the end of the year, the more she missed her family, but he still made such jokes with her. It was so annoying.

Wang Ping had already seen Zhao Jianquan and his friends at the entrance of the crew when Zhao Yilin was filming, and she had arranged for them to stay in a nearby hotel until she got off work. She wanted to book two rooms for them, but Zhao Jianquan insisted on only one, so Wang Ping had no choice but to agree, and wanted to wait until Zhao Yilin got off work before making adjustments.

"Really? I've already picked them up, and they're waiting for you in the hotel next door. Luckily the filming location is not far from Golden Town, if it were far I wouldn't know how to accommodate them. Uncle is pretty amazing, he was able to find the filming location."

Zhao Yilin was a little shaken when she saw how convincing she was. "Your story is so convincing. You shouldn't be an assistant, you should be a screenwriter."

Wang Ping took out the hotel room invoice and said, "Look, is it real? It was using my uncle's ID card, but he only booked one room. I wanted to book two, but he refused. How can five people squeeze into one room?"

"What did you say, five people?"

"Yes, uncle, aunt, grandpa, grandma, and a little boy. That's your brother, right?"

Zhao Yilin frantically removed her makeup, "It's really them, help me remove my makeup."

The two of them were busy for a while, and with the help of the makeup artist, it took more than an hour to remove the makeup. Fortunately, Zhao Yilin had no filming that night, and no filming for the next three days. This way she didn't have to take leave and could spend three days with her family.

Zhao Jianquan waited in the hotel until the evening, but Zhao Yilin didn't show up, and he was a little panicked. "Is that girl really a staff member of Yilin? How come there is no news after such a long time?"

Gao Wenfang comforted him, "It must be, otherwise how could she have Yilin's phone. Yilin must still be busy filming and hasn't gotten off work yet."

Zhao Jianquan felt that what she said made sense. "Mom and Dad, are you hungry? How about going to eat something first?"

Grandpa and grandma shook their heads at the same time, "Let's wait until Yilin comes back. Aren't we here to see her?"

Zhao Lifei was a little hungry. "Why don't you give your sister a call to see if she's off work?"

Zhao Jianquan guessed that his son must be hungry. Just as he took out his cell phone, there was a knock on the door. When he opened it, it was his daughter who came back.

Zhao Yilin ran into the room, ran to her father and mother, and hugged them, "Mom and Dad, you are really here."

Grandpa and grandma also stood up excitedly. Zhao Yilin hugged them again and called out in a baby voice that Wang Ping usually didn't hear: "Grandpa, Grandma."

Zhao Lifei was unwilling to fall behind and ran over to hug Zhao Yi, calling her sister. Wang Ping stood aside and watched their joy at the reunion, and was so excited that he shed tears.

Zhao Yilin took Wang Ping and introduced her to her family: "This is my assistant, Wang Ping. She usually takes care of me."

Zhao Jianquan and Gao Wenfang grabbed her hands together to express their gratitude, "Thank you, my daughter is grateful to you, thank you, thank you!"

Wang Ping was very ashamed. "You're welcome, uncle and aunt. It's actually thanks to Sister Yilin who took care of me. I should be the one to say thank you." She said it sincerely and it was true. There are so many assistants in the company, but she is the one who has the easiest job and the best life.

Zhao Yilin remembered that she had booked the room for her family and wanted to give her the money. "How much did you just spend on the room? I'll give it to you."

Wang Ping ran away, "Sister Yilin, you treated me to so many meals, milk teas, and snacks on weekdays. Am I still a human being if I ask for this little money? If you insist on giving it to me, it means you don't treat me as a human being."

Even after she ran a long way, she could still hear her screaming, so Zhao Yilin stopped chasing her. She couldn't catch up anyway, the little girl ran so fast.
