Becoming a top streamer is not accidental

Tan Mingyue and Zhao Yilin sat opposite each other in a very private coffee shop. Looking at the baby-faced, petite girl in front of him, Tan Mingyue had no idea what she was up to.

When He Ru said that Zhao Yilin hoped to have a meeting with him before deciding whether to take on the role in "Death Under the Peony Flower", Tan Mingyue's first reaction was to look at the crew's budget and see how much more he could give her.

Indeed, the broadcast effect of "Mountain River Love: I Hate to Meet Again Before I Get Married" was better than expected. It was natural for Zhao Yilin, the heroine, to ask for a pay increase, but the crew's budget was indeed limited.

When they arrived at the agreed place, Zhao Yilin did not rush to speak, but sat there slowly drinking coffee, because she really didn't know how to start the conversation. Would it be bad to say at the beginning that she wanted to play two roles by herself?

Seeing that Zhao Yilin was only focused on drinking coffee, Tan Mingyue couldn't help but speak first, "Teacher Zhao Yilin, I can consider raising your salary a little, but the budget of the crew is really not much."

Zhao Yilin looked up, confused. "Increase pay? I didn't say I wanted to increase pay! My suggestion might even save you some pay."

Tan Mingyue was also confused. What? After all, she didn't come here to ask for a pay raise. Also, what did she mean by saving pay? Although there were some bad rumors about her and Ye Hanting on the Internet recently, it hadn't reached the point where she would lower her own status.

"Teacher Zhao Yilin, what are you talking about?"

I don't know why it's become popular in the industry to call people "teacher" recently, but Zhao Yilin doesn't like it. In her mind, teacher is a title with a lot of weight, and not everyone can be worthy of the title.

"Director Tan, you can just call me Yilin. I feel awkward calling me teacher. I want to meet you to talk, mainly to make a suggestion. Can I play both the roles of Golden Peony and Silver Peony?"

An idea flashed through Tan Mingyue's mind, "One person plays two roles?"

"Yes. The script also sets up that these two people look exactly the same, so why use two actors to play them? If the two actors you choose look alike, it's fine. If they don't look alike, I think the audience will feel fooled."

"Let me give you an analogy. Everyone in the drama is talking about who is the most beautiful woman in the world, but then a very ordinary woman appears. What do you think the audience will think?"

Tan Mingyue answered without even thinking: "I wonder if the director is crazy. She is the most beautiful woman in the world? Do you think we are stupid?"

"Yes, that's right. So I think we shouldn't let other actors play the role of Jin Mudan. I can play it myself. This will save another actor's salary."

Tan Mingyue had never seen such an actor before, especially a young actor. "What's the benefit of doing this?"

"It can make the plot more reasonable and the show better. Isn't that enough?"

Tan Mingyue looked at Zhao Yilin's sincere face and was somewhat moved. "That's enough. There are very few actors like this nowadays."

Zhao Yilin understood what he meant. "Little doesn't mean nothing. I hope you can seriously consider my proposal. Of course, playing two roles by yourself also requires very high acting skills. If you think my acting skills are not good enough, you can tell me."

"Even if you don't want me to act in this play, I hope you can seriously consider my proposal. You can also use my idea unconditionally."

"I think the creation of a good work is inseparable from the joint efforts of all the creators. Only when everyone cares about the work can a good work be created."

Tan Mingyue agreed, "Yilin, you are absolutely right. With ideas like yours, you won't have to worry about not being able to act well. I have no problem at all. Jin Mudan's original salary will be given to you as usual. If there is no problem, we can set a date for the shooting next."

"Okay, I'll let my agent, Sister He Ru, contact you. I have another movie to shoot, and the specific shooting date will be determined after discussion."

Tan Mingyue was extremely happy. He had never dreamed that this meeting would go so smoothly. "Okay, okay, no problem. The shooting date here can be completely determined according to your schedule."

When Tan Mingyue returned to the company, everyone gathered around him and asked about the details of his meeting with Zhao Yilin.

"How is it, how much did the pay increase?"

"It's not over budget, is it? If it is, we'll have to cut funding for other projects."

"Is it possible that they didn't like our script at all?"

Tan Mingyue pretended to be serious as he sat down on the chair. "Zhao Yilin is definitely a good actor who puts acting first."

Everyone looked at each other, "What does this mean?"

"She made a very good suggestion, that is, it would be better if the same actress played the roles of Golden Peony and Silver Peony. I also thought her suggestion was very good and decided to adopt it."

Others were still asking: "It means she agreed to take on this drama, and she will play both the Golden Peony and the Silver Peony, is that right?"

"Yes, she really is a genius."

"What about the remuneration? Do you have any requirements?"

"They never thought of increasing the salary, and even said that we could save the salary of one actor. However, I have decided on my own initiative to give Jin Mudan the original salary as well."

Everyone agreed unanimously, "This is a matter of course. I didn't expect that her popularity is increasing every day, and she would not ask for pay."

"I think she really doesn't care about the pay, but is more demanding about the script. This is what a truly good actor is like."

"Okay, hurry up and contact He Ru and Mr. He, and quickly set a date and sign a contract. If you're late, someone else will grab it."

When Zhao Yilin returned to the company, He Ru and Tan Mingyue had already finalized the schedule. She only had to wait until she finished filming "Temptation of Leaving Home" before she could join the crew. It seemed that she would be busy for a long time.
