Becoming a top streamer is not accidental

After Zhao Yilin hastily said goodbye to her family, she returned to her small rental house in Huangjin Town. There were still two days before the scheduled audition, but she was full of anxiety and uneasiness. In order to calm down, this girl who usually likes to stay at home decided to go out for a walk, hoping to relax herself a little.

She closed the door gently and walked down the stairs with light steps. The sun shone on her, bringing a touch of warmth and slightly relieving the tension in her heart. The streets were busy with cars and people were rushing on the road. Zhao Yilin blended in, as if she had become a part of the hustle and bustle of the city. In just a few years, Huangjin Town has developed from a small village into a small city with a certain scale. And Zhao Yilin is a witness to all this. She has witnessed the rise of Huangjin Town and hopes that Huangjin Town can witness her rise.

Walking in the streets and alleys, Zhao Yilin casually scanned everything around her. The roadside snack stalls exuded an enticing aroma, which attracted Zhao Yilin to stop and watch. She hadn't had such a leisurely time for a long time. The stall owners were busy preparing food, with enthusiastic smiles on their faces. Zhao Yilin was infected by the lively atmosphere, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

As she walked, she came to the door of a bookstore. The store was quiet and comfortable, and the fragrance of books filled the air. Zhao Yilin pushed open the door and walked into the store, feeling the tranquility and strength that books bring to people. She shuttled between the bookshelves, her fingers gently touching the pages of the books, enjoying the pleasure of reading. In this small space, she temporarily forgot the disturbances of the outside world and immersed herself in the world of words. There were other people in the store who were also enjoying this tranquility, but her eyes were not on the books in her hands, but on the store or the passers-by.

Zhao Yilin was so absorbed in reading that she felt something was wrong. When she looked up, her eyes met with a woman's. She avoided her gaze awkwardly, but she continued to stare at her. Zhao Yilin frowned, took the books she had chosen to the cashier to pay, and then left the bookstore.

Unexpectedly, the other party followed closely behind her, a few steps behind her. After Zhao Yilin confirmed that the other party was following her, she secretly took out her mobile phone and planned to call the police.

The other party quickly ran to her side and said, "Hello, I'm your agent He Ru, and I want to talk to you. Don't worry, I mean no harm."

Zhao Yilin held the phone in doubt, her whole body tense, "Agent?"

He Ru handed over her business card, "Yes, you are an actor, right?"

Doesn't she recognize herself? That's right. It has been six or seven years since her talent show, and she hasn't played any important roles in these six or seven years. Even in Tian Wei's play, she only appeared for a few minutes. It's normal that she doesn't recognize herself.

"Well, what's the problem?"

He Ru invited her to sit down in a small shop on the street and ordered a pot of tea. "I am a professional actor agent. I think you have very good looks. With a little help, you will definitely become a popular young actress."

Zhao Yilin smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter whether I'm famous or not, as long as I have a role to play."

He Ru was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that she would say it so frankly. "That's no problem. We can sign a contract. If your requirements are not met, you can terminate the contract at any time."

"What are the conditions?" Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, Zhao Yilin has come to understand that there is no free lunch in the world.

He Ru liked her sincere and unpretentious style, so she said directly: "It's very simple, 50-50 will do."

Zhao Yilin thought she could give it a try, but she had a prerequisite: "The role you accept must have my approval."

He Ru nodded, "Of course."

"The dramas I take on myself are not included in the share."

This request was reasonable, and He Ru agreed immediately. "Okay."

“Once a disagreement arises, the contract will be terminated according to the normal process, and both parties do not need to pay liquidated damages. However, the work undertaken during the contract period must be completed as agreed and the handover to the next person must be done well.” When Zhao Yilin was at River Lion Media, she saw some artists had to compromise because of high liquidated damages, and she didn’t want to make the same mistake again.

This request made He Ru think for a moment, but she quickly agreed. "Okay, which company are you working for now, and how long is the contract?"

"I don't have any company right now, but I might have to audition for a play in a couple of days."

He Ru was very surprised that she didn't have an agent with such good conditions. Could it be that she was really a very Buddhist person? "How about this, to show my sincerity, I can accompany you to the audition, for free."

Zhao Yilin thought about it and felt that there was no problem. "Sure, I'll go the day after tomorrow at 10 am."

He Ru struck while the iron was hot, "So you must be free tomorrow, so let's sign the contract. I'll wait for you here at 10 a.m. tomorrow, okay?"

Zhao Yilin agreed: "Okay, see you tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock."

The next morning at ten o'clock, Zhao Yilin arrived at the agreed location five minutes early. Unexpectedly, He Ru arrived earlier than her. When she saw her, she didn't say much small talk and immediately drove her back to her own place, a simple small villa with several staff members. It seemed that she had her own small team.

After several hours of discussion, the two finally signed a contract. Although it was not so favorable to Zhao Yilin, it was much better than before at River Lion Media. The most important thing was that there was no penalty for breach of contract. Even if they parted ways unhappily in the future, it would not make it difficult for Zhao Yilin to turn things around.

After the contract was signed, He Ru immediately asked the staff in the villa to come and greet Zhao Yilin: "Everyone come here quickly, this is Zhao Yilin, she will be our boss from now on, and she will pay our wages from now on."

Everyone cheered together: "Hello, Mr. Zhao!" and then applauded to welcome Zhao Yilin to join.

Zhao Yilin greeted everyone shyly, "Hello." The 50-50 split in the contract means that she and He Ru will split the profits 50-50 after deducting the operating costs, which means that the rent, salary, travel expenses, etc. of the entire team are all paid by Zhao Yilin's acting salary. It's better to say that she is their cash cow than to say that she is their boss. But there is no way, the cash cow will not drop money by itself if there is no one to shake it. She has tried every possible way in the past two years, and now she almost has no filming. To get along in this circle, you have to play by the rules of this circle. As long as she can stick to her bottom line, it will be fine.

Just looking at this not-so-small team, Zhao Yilin felt a little scared. Could she really support so many people? Seeing He Ru's confident look, she didn't know where her confidence came from.
