Becoming a top streamer is not accidental

Chapter 27: Becoming a Background Board

When Zhao Yilin rushed back to the company in a hurry, she arrived at the press conference of "Resurrection" just in time. At this press conference, the long-awaited hero and heroine were finally unveiled: the heroine was played by Zhang Bingyu, a new actress from River Lion Media, and the hero was the popular Ji Jintang.

The character played by Zhao Yilin in this drama didn’t even have to attend a press conference—she was just a little maid who didn’t have a single line!

Wang Ping was furious, "Before she came back, wasn't she told she had a very important role? But she was rushed back to play a maid with no lines and serve as a background?"

Zhao Yilin pulled her and said, "Forget it, don't say anything. Just be a maid. It's better than having no role to play." She knew what was going on without anyone telling her.

Wang Ping was not going to give up. "I'll go find out what's going on for you."

Zhao Yilin wanted to stop her, but she also wanted to know what happened. Even if she couldn't play an important role, she wouldn't be reduced to being an extra. Fang Zheng said that as long as the audience could see her acting, she would have a chance to succeed, but if she couldn't even show her face in front of the audience, who would know that she acted well?

No matter how unwilling she was, she had to join the group. Zhao Yilin received a call from Wang Ping while she was packing her things in the dormitory.

"Sister Yilin, I found out. I heard that the company's top management thought you were going to switch to Tian Wei's company, and they were afraid that you would be spending a lot of money to help others."

Zhao Yilin was slightly shocked. Tian Wei had indeed talked to her about the job change, but no one else knew about it except her. How did it get out? "And then?"

"Then the company decided to temporarily replace the female lead. Sister Yilin, you were originally supposed to play the female lead. What a pity, we were just one step away from the role. Who on earth is it? It's so abominable!"

Zhao Yilin realized that it was not necessary for anyone to know that Tian Wei had contacted her, as long as someone needed Tian Wei to contact her. Then who spread this rumor? Of course, it was Zhang Bingyu, the beneficiary. She must have used other means, otherwise a rumor alone would not have caused the company to make such a big change.

Zhao Yilin had heard about the three Hes of River Lion Media, but she had a little fantasy about them before, but now she has no fantasy at all. She still has more than two years left on her contract, so should she breach it? The penalty for breach of contract is indeed not much, but if she breaches the contract, she will leave a stain in this industry. After thinking it over again and again, she decided to finish performing "Resurrection" first.

"I understand. Get ready and join me when the time comes."

Wang Ping's voice became hesitant, "Sister Yilin... haven't you received the news yet? The company... doesn't seem to be planning to assign you an assistant. I'm going to be assigned to work under the newly signed artist."

Zhao Yilin didn't expect the company to be so ruthless. "Okay, I got it. Thank you for telling me, take care." If there is no assistant, then there is no assistant. She, Zhao Yilin, has hands and feet. Can't she join the team herself?

On the day of filming, Zhao Yilin went there carrying her own suitcase. Only then did she realize how much the company was willing to spend on this drama.

Except for the female lead, who is the company's newcomer Zhang Bingyu, all the others are not unknown. Needless to say, the male lead Ji Jintang is known as the most handsome actor. He has good looks and acting skills. He has become popular in every drama he has starred in in recent years. Not only is he popular, but the female lead who is his partner is also very popular. It seems that the company really wants to promote a female lead of their own.

In the three years since she came to River Lion Media, Zhao Yilin has learned that the company's actresses are somewhat lacking, and they are in urgent need of a leading actress who can stand out on her own. Unfortunately, the female artists that the company has trained have fallen one after another. Not to mention leading actresses who can stand out on their own, there are only a few who can be remembered by the audience. River Lion Media is visibly going downhill.

In addition to the male lead, the second male and female leads are also strong external players invited from other companies. Even the maid next to the male lead is Liu Han, a former child star.

Although Liu Han is only two or three years older than Zhao Yilin, she is already an "old man" in the entertainment industry. She started acting at the age of four and has been in the industry for nearly 20 years. She is also well-known in the industry. I didn't expect that she would be willing to play such an insignificant role as a maid.

Zhao Yilin was extremely bored after being on the set for several days. The main reason was that the role she played really didn't have much to do. She didn't have to memorize lines, didn't have to choose from a few costumes, didn't have to dance, and didn't even have to serve tea or water. During each shoot, she just had to follow behind Liu Han, who played the maid, and was a complete background board.

Although she was just a background board, Zhao Yilin was very attentive when acting. Because she was a little maid, if she wanted to serve her master well, she had to pay attention to the every move of her master and the main maid, who was her boss. When filming, Zhao Yilin listened attentively to every line they said, and she would also express corresponding emotions according to the content of the lines. Such immersion in the role moved the photographer, and he would always intentionally or unintentionally scan her when filming. Of course, Zhao Yilin was not aware of these.

When acting with Ji Jintang and Liu Han, Zhao Yilin would also secretly learn from them. One of them graduated from an authoritative performing arts school and has won many honors, while the other has been acting since childhood and graduated from a professional performing arts school when she grew up. There should be endless things for Zhao Yilin to learn, but after watching for a few days, Zhao Yilin fell into deep doubt.

The actor's acting skills are of course impeccable, but Zhao Yilin cannot agree with Liu Han's performance. Perhaps because she has been acting since she was a child, Liu Han is very familiar with filming, so every time she acts, it's like she is completing a task, and she completes a task in a program. How to laugh, how to laugh beautifully; how to cry, how to cry sadly, it seems that there are fixed patterns.

Zhao Yilin watched her performance with many doubts. She kept thinking but couldn't figure it out. She thought about it while eating and waiting for the show. Her habit was to eat some snacks when she was thinking. Now that there was no assistant to buy them for her, she found a corner to hide and think slowly, vowing to figure it out. As a result, she didn't figure out the problem, and she almost got into trouble.
