Becoming a top streamer is not accidental

Knowing that Zhao Yilin would not go home for the New Year, her family sent her a lot of local specialties. She was reluctant to eat them and planned to share them with the crew members on New Year's Eve to add a little festive atmosphere.

Because it was New Year's Eve, the crew finished work earlier than usual. After removing her makeup, Zhao Yilin rested in her room and prepared some local specialties, waiting for the crew to call her for the New Year's Eve dinner.

The crew of "Legend of Liu Li" prepared a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, which was held in the best restaurant in Golden Land and set to the highest standards. Producer Xu Yang raised his glass to toast Ye Hanting.

"Xiao Ye, let me toast you. Our play depends entirely on you." Usually in such situations, the male and female protagonists would toast the producer or director. Now the situation is reversed, which shows that Ye Hanting is in the limelight.

He has become more and more popular in the past two years, and he is comparable to the popular actor Ji Jintang, and even has the momentum to surpass him. In the circle, except for actresses like Fang Zheng who are of the same level as the queen of the film, their names are always ranked behind his. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yilin got a chance this time.

Not only did Ye Hanting feel wronged, many people around him felt wronged for him, but Tian Wei chose Zhao Yilin as the heroine. If Tian Wei was not a man, everyone would suspect that Zhao Yilin had climbed into his bed.

Ye Hanting quickly picked up the cup and stood up, "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Xu. You are too kind, Xiao Zhao is actually quite nice." He looked around and asked pretentiously, "Hey, where is Xiao Zhao? Why don't I see her? She didn't even come over to toast Mr. Xu a glass of wine."

Xu Yang's disdain was obvious, "Hey, I didn't even invite her here."

Ye Hanting was shocked, but he was not pretending. He knew that Zhao Yilin was not well-liked by the producer, but he didn't know why she was so unpopular. Director Tian Wei usually thought highly of her, so why didn't he stand up and object today? "Is that so? That's not good. After all, we are in the same play, and Director Tian Wei won't have any objections, right?"

Xu Yang smiled casually, "He had something to do and went back to his hometown. I don't know what possessed him to use her."

Ye Hanting deliberately tried to test, "Isn't it Mr. Xu who has the final say?"

Xu Yang was willing to tell him the inside story so as to get a chance to work together next time. "This is the condition for inviting Director Tian to join this crew. Tian Wei has sacrificed a lot for her. In the field of costume dramas, Tian Wei's talent is still unmatched. It's okay to accept Zhao Yilin for him. Anyway, we still have you, plus Qiao Songtao and Xie Hanling. I believe this drama will not be bad."

The two chatted and drank, and many people came over to toast. Xie Hanling and Qiao Songtao also came over with wine glasses.

"Mr. Xu, Han Ting, cheers."

Ye Hanting clinked glasses with the two men with a fake smile, and Xu Yang was perfunctory. Xie Hanling and Qiao Songtao also knew that they were not famous enough to sit at the same table with them, so they left immediately after toasting.

After returning to her seat, Xie Hanling was still looking around, so Qiao Songtao asked her, "Who are you looking for? Yilin?"

Xie Hanling looked at him, "You didn't see her either?"

Qiao Songtao said confidently, "No. I looked for her as soon as I arrived at the venue, but I didn't see her and thought she came with Director Tian Wei, but I didn't see Director Tian just now." Everyone in the crew knew that Director Tian Wei was the only one on the production side who appreciated Zhao Yilin, and it was because of his persistence that Zhao Yilin became the heroine of "The Legend of Liu Li", and it was not surprising that she accompanied him to the New Year's Eve dinner, but unexpectedly, neither of them showed up.

Qiao Songtao was about to call his assistant, "Maybe the production team didn't notify her. Why don't I call her and ask her to come over?"

Xie Hanling stopped him immediately, "No, if you ask her to come like this, she won't be able to come or not. She's already eating, why would she come and be laughed at?"

After Xie Hanling finished saying this, both of them became listless. The entertainment industry, which is full of people being exploited without leaving any bones, has always been like this, praising the powerful and bullying the weak. Xie Hanling felt a little bit like giving up. In fact, besides being an actor, she can do other things.

At the end of the party, the two of them hurried back to the hotel with their assistants. Xie Hanling suggested to Qiao Songtao: "Why don't we prepare a small hot pot in the room and invite Yilin to eat together. It will be our New Year's Eve dinner. We can also stay up together. After all, tomorrow is a holiday."

Qiao Songtao agreed immediately and planned to ask his assistant to prepare it, but Xie Hanling stopped him. "No, we should prepare it ourselves, so that we can show our sincerity."

After the two of them reached a consensus, they drove to a famous hot pot restaurant nearby, ordered a hot pot takeout, and then went to Xie Hanling's room to prepare it.

When everything was ready, Xie Hanling went to Zhao Yilin's room and knocked on the door. As expected, she was still awake but in a bad mood, so she only opened the door a little to let her in. At this time, she must have guessed it.

Xie Hanling walked into the room sideways, "Have you eaten?"

Zhao Yilin shook her head slightly. She would be upset even if she was open-minded. "Let's go to my room. We'll have New Year's Eve dinner and stay up together. And Qiao Songtao, you don't mind, do you?"

Zhao Yilin smiled a little, finally someone still remembered her. "Okay, I don't mind."

Xie Hanling took her hand and went to her room. She knocked on the door and Qiao Songtao opened it abruptly. "Dangdangdang, welcome the two princesses to enjoy the hot pot New Year's Eve dinner!"

The TV in the room was playing the Spring Festival Gala. On the table was a steaming hot pot, surrounded by a variety of side dishes. It was obvious that the person who prepared it had put a lot of effort into it. Zhao Yilin walked into the room with a smile and saw many of her favorite dishes.

She turned around and hugged Xie Hanling, "Sister Hanling, thank you."

Qiao Songtao came over to ask for a hug like a playboy, "And me, and me."

Zhao Yilin smiled and gave him a big hug, "Brother Songtao, thank you." She always called him Brother Qiao, and calling him Brother Songtao brought them closer. Qiao Songtao patted her on the back and sat down.

"The hot pot is ready, let's eat."

Xie Hanling was the first to pick up her chopsticks. "I haven't eaten for a long time. It must be delicious." The New Year's Eve dinner just now made her feel very uncomfortable and tasteless. She didn't eat anything at all. After all the trouble just now, she was really hungry.

Qiao Songtao poured three glasses of wine and said, "Come on, don't go home until you are drunk tonight."

Xie Hanling and Zhao Yilin raised their glasses together, "We won't go home until we're drunk."

The three of them were eating and chatting. The Spring Festival Gala had already started the countdown to the New Year. The three of them put down their chopsticks and counted down together: "Five, four, three, two, one - Happy New Year! Good luck in the Year of the Horse!"

Qiao Songtao looked at the hosts of the gala and sighed: "Year after year, the flowers are the same, but the people are different. You see, the Spring Festival Gala is held every year, and the hosts are replaced one after another. Our industry relies on youth. If you can't make it in your twenties, it will be even harder in your thirties."

Xie Hanling laughed at herself: "Are you talking about me? Actually, I played the leading role when I was in my twenties, but I don't know why I was never popular. Now that I'm older, it's even harder."

Qiao Songtao looked at her, "How old are you? Are you older than me?" Normally one would not ask a girl's age so directly. Zhao Yilin looked at him and saw that his face was flushed, and it seemed that he was a little drunk.

Xie Hanling didn't mind. "I was born in 1981. I'll be 33 soon."

Qiao Songtao smiled and said, "I was born in 1985, I'm almost 30, and I've never even played the leading male role. What about you, Xiao Zhao?"

Zhao Yilin held her face with both hands and propped herself up on the table. "I was born in 1987, but it doesn't matter. I don't care if I'm famous or not. I just want to have a role to play, and I don't know what else I can do besides acting. How about being a singer?"

Xie Hanling pretended to cover her ears, "I beg you, please let me go, don't come over here."

Qiao Songtao covered his face, and it was unclear whether he was laughing or crying. Zhao Yilin chased Xie Hanling and beat her until she begged for mercy.

This New Year's Eve dinner became an unforgettable memory for Zhao Yilin.
