Becoming a top streamer is not accidental

When Zhao Yilin was still filming "Lucky Stars", she heard that director Tian Wei was going to film a new drama. The male lead had already been decided to be Ye Hanting, the second male lead was Qiao Songtao, and the second female lead was Xie Hanling. Only the female lead had not been decided yet, and many actresses in the circle were vying for this role. She didn't know if He Ru had helped her get it, and she didn't bother to ask her because she felt that she would never be chosen.

I heard that it was adapted from the novel "Lady Liuli". The original novel is about a time travel and yuri plot. The script should be changed, but it must be a drama with a strong female lead. She didn't even get to be the heroine, let alone the heroine.

It was time to wait for Chen Yisan to reshoot, and Zhao Yilin took out her cell phone out of boredom, ready to play a game, maybe even several rounds.

A phone call came in. It was Director Tian Wei. Did he want me to guest star in his new play again? "Director Tian, ​​hello."

Tian Wei was very happy to see Zhao Yilin blurt out his name. "Yilin, what are you doing recently?"

Zhao Yilin played with her costume and said, "I'm filming, 'Lucky Star'."

Tian Wei was surprised, "That drama hasn't been finished yet. Didn't it take a long time to shoot?"

Zhao Yilin was helpless. "Yes, my contract is almost up, and I don't know what to do then."

"I have a new play, The Legend of Liu Li, and I want you to act in it. What do you think?"

Sure enough, "Sure, but you may have to wait a while, I haven't finished filming this play yet. You said that you can't overlap with other projects."

Tian Wei laughed loudly, "Yes, I said that. I didn't expect you to remember it. You agreed so quickly, do you know what role I asked you to play?"

"I can play any role. It won't be the male lead's mother again. I've already been Ye Hanting's mother once." She had indeed played the role of Ye Hanting's mother in a cameo appearance in Tian Wei's play.

Tian Wei's laughter became even more outrageous. "Yilin, I didn't expect you to be so humorous. I want you to be the heroine this time, to play Liu Li. Are you okay with that?"

Zhao Yilin thought she had misheard, "Play Liu Li? Which Liu Li?"

"Can you play the leading female role of Liu Li in "Legend of Liu Li" well?"

Zhao Yilin swallowed her saliva and said, "Director Tian, ​​can you let me see the script? I'll read the script and then answer you, okay?"

Tian Wei quickly agreed, "Okay. I'll ask my assistant to send it to you."

In the evening, Zhao Yilin received the script sent by Tian Wei's assistant as promised, and Zhao Yilin finished reading it overnight. To be honest, the script was very good, and the character was very good. It was a role that Zhao Yilin dreamed of playing. But her filming of "Lucky Star" would take at least a month to complete. Would Tian Wei be able to wait for her? Probably not. Should she break the bottom line of not overlapping roles for such a good script?

Zhao Yilin thought about this question for a day and a night, and on the third day she called Tian Wei.

"How about it, can you act well?"

Zhao Yilin answered confidently: "Director Tian, ​​I can act well. But I don't have time now, can you wait for me?"

"how long?"

"Forty-five days." She and He Ru had communicated with the crew of "Good Luck". When the agreed schedule arrives, she will join another group. If there are scenes she has not finished filming, she will reshoot them when she has time later.

"Okay, I'll wait for you for forty-five days."

Zhao Yilin didn't expect Tian Wei to be willing to wait for her. "Thank you, Director Tian. You are really my mentor."

Tian Wei laughed loudly on the phone, "You also know that you are a good horse, right?"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yilin's face was burning. How could anyone compare her to a thousand-mile horse? But the boast had already been made, and she must not let him down.

Knowing that Zhao Yilin would soon join the next crew, Li Ming accelerated her filming of "Lucky Star". He found that Zhao Yilin had good acting skills and a rare sense of naturalness. More importantly, she was very attentive to the play and never came late or left early.

He also watched "The Liang Shan Pei and the Zhu Yinglai", in which Yin Xin performed well. He believed that many directors would look for her in the future, including himself.

"Xiao Zhao, if there is a movie to shoot next time, I will definitely look for you."

Zhao Yilin thought he was just being polite, "Haha, okay, thank you Director Li."

Li Ming once again explained: "What I said is true, but it's not this kind of drama. It's a drama that I can call the shots myself."

Zhao Yilin was puzzled, "Is there a time when the director can't make the decision?"

Li Ming smiled, "Of course. This producer once helped me a lot, and this play is me repaying him, so everything must be done according to his requirements unconditionally."

Zhao Yilin had learned something new. "Does the director also negotiate terms when signing a contract?"

"Of course, the one who pays is the boss. This is the case in every industry now."

Zhao Yilin understood that everyone has their own difficulties. So how much say does Director Tian Wei have in the new play? Isn't he under a lot of pressure waiting for her? Zhao Yilin began to feel guilty.

Fortunately, Director Li Ming is a very nice person. He tried his best to finish filming Zhao Yilin's scenes within the agreed time and did not delay her from joining the crew of "The Legend of Liu Li".

Before joining the crew, Zhao Yilin had memorized the script by heart. The Legend of Liu Li, adapted from Lady Liu Li, tells the legendary story of the heroine Liu Li, who rose from an ordinary singing and dancing prostitute to the empress dowager of the dynasty during the Dafeng Dynasty in the history of the Chinese nation.

This was originally a fictional time-travel story, but it was set in history. It just so happened that there was a queen mother named Liu in the Dafeng Dynasty. She was indeed of humble origins, but she supported the young emperor to ascend the throne and was in charge of government for more than a decade. As for her name, it didn't matter, as long as her surname was Liu.

Zhao Yilin carefully flipped through the script in her hand, as if it were a precious treasure. She couldn't put it down because she had played supporting roles in countless crews over the years and watched many TV dramas, but the role of women in the dramas was often just about love.

There are very few female characters who truly focus on their careers. Perhaps because they are worried that the audience will not like such a setting, not many directors dare to shoot such a subject. Director Tian Wei is indeed a well-known director. He dares to try innovation and challenge traditional concepts. Thinking of this, Zhao Yilin secretly made up her mind that she must not hold Director Tian Wei back, and must perform beyond her normal level to live up to his trust and expectations.
