Reborn Russia as an oligarch

"Do you think this is a bit weird today?"

Lie suddenly asked.

Tonya nodded, frowned and said: "It's really not right, why does it feel like Kirilenko is waiting for me, just went in and asked the character to sign the contract without asking anything.

Liye, tell me, could this be a fake crew..."

Liye shook her head, "It should be impossible to fake a crew, after all, this is an audition held jointly with the school, and NTV is also a well-known big TV station, with such a big scene, it is impossible for anyone to pretend to be its name.

I say it's weird because it's too easy for you to get this role.

Could it be..."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Tonya with a complicated expression.

Tonya froze for a moment, then immediately understood what Liye was talking about.

Biting his lips lightly, he took out his cell phone and said, "Let me ask... Misha to see if he knows about it."

Obviously, if there was someone to help behind this matter, there would be no other person besides Wang Ye.

Because among the people Tonya knew in Moscow, Wang Ye had this energy, how could other people have such a big face, so that NTV came to the dance academy to hold auditions for her.

Seeing that Dong Niya was going to talk to Wang Ye on the phone, Liye tactfully found an excuse to go to the bathroom.

The phone was connected quickly, and Wang Ye's gentle voice came from there, "Donia, why are you calling me at this time, what's the matter?"

Tonya said while deliberating: "Misha, I encountered something strange today, so I want to ask you.

It’s like this, you know NTV TV station, they are going to shoot a super drama recently, and then they will come to our school..."

After briefly telling the story, Tonya finally asked, "So Liye and I feel that this matter should have something to do with you, otherwise NTV shouldn't have done this..."

It turned out that it was this matter, Wang Ye had mentioned it in front of Serev, and it was just a matter of convenience, so he didn't make a special call to tell Dongia.

But now that Tonya asked about it, he didn't hide it, so he smiled and said, "Oh, there is such a thing. I did tell NTV director Serev that I let you join the Ekaterina crew."

Dong Niya couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, and she was grateful to Wang Ye for being willing to stand up for her, but she was a little disappointed.

The reason for the loss is that this rare opportunity is not because of how good I am, others are just looking at Wang Ye's face...

Sighing lightly, Tonya lifted her spirits and said, "I don't know if I need to trouble you for these trivial matters..."

Before she finished speaking, Wang Ye interrupted, and said with a smile: "Don't be rude, and you may not know that NTV was bought by me, and it will be our own TV station in the future, so you still think this What kind of trouble is that?"

Dong Niya froze on the spot, not knowing what to say for a while.

She still felt a little guilty at first, because Wang Ye came forward to help her get the role, and others would give him this face, but it was also a debt of favor.

For a big man like Wang Ye, most of the time he is unwilling to owe favors to others, so Dong Niya feels guilty.

But I never expected that after working for a long time, NTV TV station has become a "own" industry...

After a long time, Dong Niya said at a loss: "Ah? I was bought by you, that...that's pretty good."

This is of course good news for her.

Now that Wang Ye owns a big TV station, wouldn't it be easy for her to have any acting or announcement opportunities in the future!
With such a backstage, even if she doesn't want to become a big star, it will be difficult for her...

Wang Ye chatted with her casually, then hung up the phone and went on with his business.

Dongnia stood there in a daze with the phone that had been hung up, until Liye came back and woke her up.

"What did Speaker Mikhail say? Did he say hello?" Liye asked curiously.

Tonya nodded, then immediately shook her head again, which confused Liye.

"Is that right? What do you mean by shaking your head and nodding again?" Li Ye asked in amazement.

Tonya hesitated for a moment, thinking that this kind of thing shouldn't be a secret, and it doesn't hurt to tell Liye.

He said: "Misha said...he has already bought NTV! This script is invested by him."

Immediately, Li Ye was also stunned...

…………

For Serev, there is one incident that has caused him a lot of headaches recently.

He suddenly discovered that life is difficult when the TV station has no funds, but having too much money in hand is also a kind of trouble!

Among other things, the budget for this big drama hand-picked by the boss is of course very, very sufficient, and all the details can be done to the extreme, and there is no need to consider money at all!

However, because of this, he felt that he had a great responsibility and a lot of pressure!

After all, it is a real money of [-] million US dollars, so much money to make a drama, it must be perfect, if it messes up, Serev can't even imagine the consequences...

To be honest, he doesn't think his life is worth [-] million dollars...

These days, he has sent his right-hand men to contact top screenwriters and directors everywhere, and the big framework of the crew has been set up.

Needless to say, the screenwriters, the most well-known and professional screenwriters in the industry have been brought in to form a huge team of screenwriters.

And the director chose the national treasure-level director Goncharovsky!

He also assigned two well-known directors as assistants, anyway, it is to highlight a luxurious lineup!
The director, screenwriter, etc. have all been settled, and most of the supporting roles have been selected, but the most important role, that is, the heroine has not been finalized.

In this drama, you can tell just by looking at the name, the absolute protagonist is the female number one, and this role will provoke the mainstay of the whole drama.

How well she performs will directly determine the fate of the show!
Therefore, Serev and the director Gang Chalovsky discussed and discussed, and found almost all the information of well-known actresses at home and abroad who are more suitable for this role, but they still haven't made up their minds about which one to use.

In the end, they selected five actors who felt more suitable, and Serev took them to Wang Ye, wanting to hear his opinion.

Ordinarily, it is inappropriate to do so. After all, Serev, as the director of the TV station, even has to trouble the boss about choosing an actor. Doesn't it seem that he is very irresponsible.

But the stakes were high, and Serev couldn't care less about it.

If the boss is willing to give advice, that would be the best, so that if the effect of the TV series does not meet expectations after the release, the boss will not blame himself too much, after all, the heroine he chose by himself...

Even if the boss is too lazy to answer me and doesn't give any opinions, it doesn't matter. In that case, I will come back and continue the discussion with the director, and I will make a decision. Anyway, the situation can't be worse.

…………

Through Wang Ye's assistant Nova, Serev came to Wang Ye's office at the appointed time.

Fortunately for him, when he explained his intentions, the boss did not show any displeasure, but carefully looked through the actor information he brought.

Wang Ye was indeed not unhappy. On the contrary, he felt that Serev was right to do so, which showed that Serev really attached great importance and seriousness to this drama.

Of course, he should be cautious in choosing the heroine, which is related to the fate of the whole drama. If he really chooses a well-known actress casually, then Wang Ye will consider whether Serev is suitable to continue to run NTV.

Flipping through the actor information at hand, Wang Ye recalled the "Empress Catherine" he had watched in his previous life. He was quite impressed with the heroine. The acting skills of the actress who played the heroine It is also in place.

Especially the domineering and beautiful Ekaterina, without losing the majesty and temperament of the royal family, is brought to life!
That actor seems to be called Marina Alexandrova.

He also searched for Marina's information on the Internet at that time, and he could tell that although the everyday Marina was also a beauty, she was almost completely different from the Ekaterina in the play.

It can only be said that after putting on the classical clothes and the crown, Marina seemed to be a different person, transformed into the eternally famous queen!
However, Wang Ye did not find Marina in the documents that Serev brought. Obviously, she is not well-known in the showbiz at this time, so she has not become one of the candidates...

After reading it, Wang Ye closed the folder and thought about it.

He thinks that Marina should be used as the female lead. In 2006, Marina was 24 and [-] years old, so it was appropriate to play the adult Ekaterina.

After all, in the previous life, the filming of the first season of this drama started around 2012, which is not a few years away from now.

Moreover, Marina has acted in movies since she was a child, and entered the show business circle in her teens. She has appeared in many TV series and movies. There should be no problems with her acting skills, that is, she is not famous enough.

Now she is used to play the leading role, and the money I invested now is much more than that of "Ekaterina" in the first season of the previous life!
So the effect and impact of shooting are much greater!
Thinking of this, Wang Ye said: "When I was watching TV a few days ago, I felt that a famous actress was more suitable for the role of Ekaterina. That actress is called Marina Alexandrova. You can Get in touch with her and let her try the mirror to see if it suits you."

Serev was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the boss actually recommended an actress to him, and he even knew this actress himself!

After all, Serev has been in the TV industry for so many years, and he is naturally familiar with the entertainment industry, and Marina is a well-known actress. The TV series she starred in have been broadcast on NTV many times, so Serev knows that Marina is also It's normal.

It's just that he didn't expect that Marina could still get along with Speaker Mikhail!

I didn't see it before...

Seeing what Serev was thinking, Wang Ye smiled and said, "Don't think too much, Marina and I don't know each other. I just saw her in a classical drama on TV, and I think she is very suitable for this kind of historical drama." The heroine, temperament is also very suitable."

Serev nodded quickly. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether the boss knows him or not, but since the boss recommended him, he must take it seriously.

He said verbally that he would review Marina's audition with the director, but Serev had already made up his mind, as long as it wasn't too bad, then the female number one would belong to Marina!

In fact, with the acting skills of an experienced actor like Marina, there is a high probability that there will be no problems during the audition...

…………

Marina is 24 years old this year, and she is considered a well-known actress in the Russian show business circle.

He has starred in movies and TV series such as "Northern Lights", "The Sun Prince", "Love in Petersburg" and "The Age of Stars".

It's a pity that these dramas don't have any big hits, and most of them are small productions, so Marina can't be called a star, at most she can be regarded as a capable actor.

In the past few years, Da Mao's economic situation, the entertainment industry was naturally not easy, big-name stars were not bad, but ordinary actors like Marina, life was not so easy.

Her net worth in the past two years is basically $[-] if she starred in a movie, and $[-] for each episode of a TV series...

This price is really low, but the problem is that it is still very difficult to get a role, and I haven't gotten a play in almost a year.

With the money I earn, I can barely make ends meet in Moscow.

After all, actors like them usually spend much more than ordinary people, and their clothes and make-up should not be too shabby...

On this day, Marina is accepting an audition for a small crew director.

The greasy director with the bald head and big belly looked a bit malicious, implying that Marina would have to pay a little price if she wanted to get the role.

As for the price, he didn't say clearly, he just asked Marina to talk in detail in his hotel room at night, and the two of them could discuss the script in depth by the way.

For the director's mind, Marina certainly knew it well. She suppressed the anger in her heart, suppressed her emotions, squeezed out a smile and said politely:
"I'm sorry, director, I have an appointment with my boyfriend tonight to go to the movies together. Why don't you think about it again, I can make some concessions in terms of salary.

According to the plan, you will shoot [-] episodes of this TV series, which will take about two months, and I only need a salary of [-] U.S. dollars..."

In fact, she didn't have a boyfriend, she just used this as an excuse to refuse the director's invitation.

If I really went to the director's room at night, I can imagine what would happen next.

Mixing in this circle, I have seen and heard too much about those dirty things. Marina is still clean and she never wants to degenerate for a role or a play.

Maybe this is one of the reasons why she hasn't been popular so far.

Because of this, she has also lost many good opportunities... (End of this chapter)
