Becoming a top streamer is not accidental
Chapter 47: Face-cutting
After the Spring Festival, when work officially started, Tian Wei also returned to the crew. Zhao Yilin did not attend the crew's New Year's Eve dinner, so naturally she had no idea that he had returned. Similarly, Tian Wei was not aware that Zhao Yilin was not invited to the New Year's Eve dinner. Everything seemed to be calm and there was no ripple, and it continued like this until the filming was successfully completed.
During Zhao Yilin's filming of "Legend of Liu Li", He Ru, as a competent agent, ran around and worked tirelessly to contact many crews for He Ru. Surprisingly, one or two of them did show strong interest in Zhao Yilin and were willing to invite her to play the leading role. Although these opportunities came from small-scale productions, Zhao Yilin didn't mind at all and was even indifferent to the salary.
She seems to have truly understood the mentality that an actor should have: as long as there are movies to shoot and she can realize her dream of acting, it doesn't matter whether she can become famous or not. This state of mind is really admirable. Perhaps it is precisely because of this persistence and love that Zhao Yilin has become more and more determined in her later acting career.
As usual, Zhao Yilin showed up at auditions for various crews without taking a few days off. After watching her audition, a little-known director hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "You acted well, but your image doesn't quite fit the role."
Zhao Yilin was half happy and half worried. No matter what, her acting skills were still highly recognized, but she was always told that her image did not fit the role. This time, she had to ask for clarification. "Director, what's wrong with my image? Is it ugly?"
Seeing that she was asking sincerely, the director decided to tell her the truth, "I'm not the first person to say this, am I?"
Since I'm asking someone, I have to be honest. Zhao Yilin didn't hide anything. "Yes, many directors have said so, but I really don't know what's wrong with my image."
The director made a circle with his hand on his face, "Your face is too round. Round faces are not popular in the entertainment industry now. V-shaped faces are preferred. People with round faces cannot play the leading role. They can only play roles like maids, daughters, and sisters. These are the roles you played in your resume, right?"
Zhao Yilin was very dissatisfied. Why should the actor's potential be limited by his face shape? "Why can't a round face play the leading role? Even in dramas, the facial makeup only cares about the color, not the roundness or pointiness of the face. People sing like this: Dou Erdun with a blue face steals the imperial horse, Guan Gong with a red face fights in Changsha, Cao Cao with a white face, Dian Wei with a yellow face, and Zhang Fei with a black face calls Zhazha; there is no singing of Dou Erdun with a round face steals the imperial horse, Guan Gong with a square face fights in Changsha, Cao Cao with a pointy face, Dian Wei with a triangular face, and Zhang Fei with a prismatic face calls Zhazha. And I have also played the leading female role. I played Liu Li in "The Legend of Liu Li" directed by Tian Wei."
The director laughed out loud, touched by her cuteness and frankness. "I know this, but no one is optimistic about it. How about I leave your contact information, or have your agent contact me, and I'll find you for a suitable role in the future."
Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, she knew with her toes that this was just a polite remark, but Zhao Yilin still left her contact information and told He Ru. What if it was true? Opportunities only come to those who are prepared, so let's try our luck.
After returning to the company with Tan Zhouzhou, He Ru brought her good news. The crew that had considered making her the heroine last time decided to use her, but the pay was not very high and her role was not much more than that of others.
Zhao Yilin accepted it happily. "It's okay. Whether a role is outstanding or not is not determined by the number of scenes. I quite like this kind of group play. It's spring when a hundred flowers bloom. It's a one-man show when only one flower stands out. When will you join the group?"
He Ru felt that Zhao Yilin was the best artist she had ever coached. She was not competitive and was very obedient. "Let's talk about it after you have a few days' rest."
Zhao Yilin doesn't like to stay at home doing nothing. "No need to rest, I will join the crew tomorrow. I don't know if I will have any more scenes to shoot after this one. People say that people with round faces can't play the leading role. I already have a round face, can it become more pointed?"
He Ru also knew about this situation and had mentioned it indirectly before, but Zhao Yilin never took it seriously, so she couldn't keep talking about it. When she saw her bring it up today, she immediately said tentatively: "With the development of technology, a round face can become a pointy one."
Zhao Yilin's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "Can a round face become a pointed face? How?"
"Shaving your face."
Zhao Yilin was almost dumbfounded. "Shave-shave the face? You can even shave the face? That would kill someone."
He Ru was amused by her cute appearance, "No, it just hurts a little."
Zhao Yilin asked like a curious baby: "How do you peel it?"
He Ru had never done it before, so she only knew the general idea: "It's about grinding the cheek bones a little smaller, so the face becomes more pointed, and it can also fill the chin."
She wanted to explain it in more detail, and then persuade Zhao Yilin to do one. Zhao Yilin had already run away with her neck shrunk, "Oh, it's too scary, it's scary. I'd rather die ugly than die with a shaved face."
He Ru sighed as she watched Zhao Yilin run upstairs. It seemed that it would be difficult to convince her. Forget it, she didn't have to worry about not having any movies to shoot. She turned around and told Tan Zhouzhou, "Accompany Yilin to the crew tomorrow. Remember to take good care of her and make sure to manage the relationships between the actors in the crew. Don't be afraid to spend money. Come back and ask me to reimburse you."
The next morning, Zhao Yilin brought Tan Zhouzhou and Li Xiang to the new crew. Now that she was paid well and filmed more scenes, it was not too much to have an assistant and a dedicated driver. Zhao Yilin didn't care much about these things, and she usually did whatever He Ru arranged for her, and never complained.
When she arrived at the new crew, Zhao Yilin realized that they were really poor. They only had a few sets of costumes and not even many makeup artists. Fortunately, Zhao Yilin used to do her own makeup when she played minor roles in her early years, and she didn't expect that she would still need it now.
However, except for being a little poor, everything else was good in the crew. The best thing was that they didn't flatter the powerful and bully the weak like other crews. Zhao Yilin made many good friends here and had a happy time.
When she is bored on the set, she still likes to play games, watch TV series, variety shows, etc. Zhao Yilin was surprised to find that the square-faced Liu Han, who had not been seen for a while, had turned into a pointed-faced Liu Han. Even a popular star like her had a facelift. Zhao Yilin silently touched her small round face and shook her head firmly. Even if everyone in the world had a facelift, she would never go.
