Becoming a top streamer is not accidental

After leaving the company, Zhao Yilin completely became an ordinary extra. Although life became difficult, her dream was still burning. During these precious golden years, she met several small directors in the circle. Although they were just some minor roles, they were already rare opportunities for her. As for more important roles, that was almost an unattainable dream.

Those small directors told her that the decision-making power for roles with a little more screen time is often not in their hands. Zhao Yilin knew that what they said was true, but she could not find any other way out for a while, so she could only continue to live in this muddle-headed way. However, she did not give up hope, and still believed that as long as she worked hard and persisted, she would have her own opportunity one day. So, she silently struggled in the world of extras, constantly improving her acting skills and abilities, and looking forward to the turning point that could change her fate.

The crew was having lunch that day, and Zhao Yilin went to get her meal like everyone else. As soon as she picked up a portion of rice from the foam box, her other hand also happened to hold the other half.

Zhao Yilin immediately let go and said, "You take it first."

The owner of the hand was stunned for a moment, then called out her name, "Zhao Yilin, what a coincidence."

Zhao Yilin saw that she could call out her name, so she thought it must be someone she knew. After a closer look, she realized it was Li Chengshuang. "Li Chengshuang, why are you here?"

Li Chengshuang bent down and took two meals from the foam box, and handed one to Zhao Yilin. "My labor contract was terminated by the company, and I didn't want to find another job, so I just came here to be an extra."

Zhao Yilin and she found a random place to sit on the set, each eating a box lunch. "You were doing pretty well in the company, weren't you? When I left, you were appointed as Zhang Bingyu's assistant. How come you were terminated?"

Li Chengshuang sighed, "Don't mention it. Zhang Bingyu's performance in "Resurrection" was pretty good, but someone posted the photo of her and He Xiangdong in bed online. It looks like she's going to be out of business soon. The company probably thinks I'm unlucky, so they terminated the contract if I'm with someone who falls out."

Zhao Yilin was very surprised. "Didn't 'Resurrection' just finish airing a few days ago? Something happened so soon. Did they offend someone?"

Li Chengshuang sneered, "She can only blame herself for her dishonorable methods. If she hadn't done such a thing, why would anyone leak her photos? At most, they are just spreading rumors to slander her, which won't have any effect."

"He Xiangdong is a senior executive of the River Lions. Don't they want to find a way to intercept this photo?"

"How could the rivals let go easily if they wanted to put River Lion Media to death? Besides, with He Xiangdong's character, he would never spend a lot of money to save a chess piece that he thinks is useless. Although the broadcast effect of "Resurrection" was very good, it was the other people in the play who were popular. Zhang Bingyu was not recognized by the audience and industry insiders. So in He Xiangdong's eyes, Zhang Bingyu is equivalent to a discarded pawn. Instead of spending a lot of money to intercept those photos, it is better to spend money to promote new people. Anyway, those photos have no effect on him. Everyone knows that the three Hes of River Lion Media are playboys."

After Li Chengshuang's explanation, Zhao Yilin finally understood the rules of the entertainment industry. Except for the biggest profit, everything else should be put aside. "What is Zhang Bingyu doing now?"

Li Chengshuang looked at her in surprise, "I don't know. No one cares about this. She was the one who used such dishonorable means to steal your leading lady position. Don't you hate her? Why do you care about her whereabouts?"

"Maybe the price they paid me to be the heroine was the same as hers, then I would definitely refuse, so in the end the heroine position still didn't belong to me. So, she didn't take anything away from me. I'm just curious why the company is so cruel to me and doesn't give me any chances. Am I really that bad?"

Li Chengshuang hesitated whether to say, "Well, there was a rumor in the company at that time that you would switch to Director Tian Wei's company because he approached you when you were acting in his crew and wanted to poach you."

Zhao Yilin suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Director Tian Wei did approach me and asked me to change jobs, but I refused."

Li Chengshuang was so surprised that his mouth opened wide. "Director Tian Wei really looked for you, then why didn't you go!"

"I signed a contract with the company. I want to keep my promise. Besides, the company trained me at that time. I can't do something that will make me lose my loyalty."

Li Chengshuang thought it was very funny. "No wonder River Lion Media is going from bad to worse. They easily gave up an employee who was so loyal to the company just because of a rumor. It was really stupid."

Zhao Yilin suddenly smiled and said, "Maybe I'm the stupid one."

"In that case, you have terminated your contract with the company and there are no movies to shoot recently. Why don't you go find Director Tian Wei?"

Zhao Yilin had already eaten up her lunch box, not a single grain was left. "Maybe they were just saying that, how can I take it seriously? Today's lunch box is pretty good, I'll go get some more food, do you want some?"

Li Chengshuang shook her head. She has been trying to lose weight recently and this lunch box is not that delicious. Li Chengshuang looked at the half-finished lunch box in her hand and fell into extreme self-doubt as she watched Zhao Yilin walk away. "What kind of person is she? She is so arrogant even though she is so down and out. It is hard for such a person to survive in the entertainment industry. Leaving Heshi may be her blessing."

When Zhao Yilin finished adding food and ran back to the place, Li Chengshuang was nowhere to be seen. Zhao Yilin was stunned and sat there to continue eating. Now she was just missing an opportunity, a real opportunity. What she had to do now was to make herself better and stronger, and when that opportunity came, she would definitely grab it.

After finishing work early in the afternoon, Zhao Yilin decided to go to the supermarket to buy some expired food. Although she had some savings before, she was prepared to fight a long-term battle, and every bit of savings counted.

Zhao Yilin walked towards the supermarket that often sold near-expiry foods with ease. She was thinking about what to buy and didn't notice that someone was watching her from behind.

"Xiao Zhao, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Zhao Yilin turned back subconsciously, and Director Tian Wei's face appeared in front of her. Could it be that she was hallucinating because she had just talked about him with someone during the day? Zhao Yilin blinked her eyes hard, but Tian Wei's face did not disappear, so it seemed that it was not an illusion. Was he looking for her because something good was going to happen?
