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

Liye suddenly asked.

Donia 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, the scene is so big, it is impossible for anyone to dare to pretend to be its name.

I say weird because you get this role too easily.

Could it be

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

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

Bit her lip lightly, then took out her phone and said, "Let me ask... Misha, let's see if he knows about it."

Obviously, if there is someone behind this matter to help, then there is no other person besides Wang Ye.

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

Seeing that Dongnia 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?"

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

It's like this, NTV TV station, you know, 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, so he did it easily, so he didn't call to tell Dongia.

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

Donia couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, and she was grateful that Wang Ye was 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...

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

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Ye interrupted, and said with a smile: "Don't be offended, 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?"

Dongnia 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 gratitude.

For a big man like Wang Ye, many times he is unwilling to owe favors to others, so Dongia feels guilty.

But I never imagined 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.

Since Wang Ye owns a big TV station, wouldn't it be a breeze for her to have acting or announcement opportunities in the future!

With such a backstage, it would be difficult for her not to become a big star...

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

Donia 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.

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

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

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

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

Suddenly, Li Ye was also stunned...

For Serev, one thing has caused him a headache 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 of 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 feels that he has a great responsibility and a lot of pressure!

After all, it's 500 million U.S. dollars in real money. To make a drama with so much money, it must be perfect. If something goes wrong, Serev can't even imagine the consequences...

Seriously, he doesn't think his life is worth half a billion dollars...

These days, he has sent his right-hand assistants 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.

As for the director, the national treasure-level director Goncharovsky was chosen!

He also assigned two well-known directors as assistants, anyway, 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 entire drama.

How well she performs will directly determine the fate of the show!

So, Serev and the director Gangchalovsky 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, hoping to hear his opinion.

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 matter is of great importance, and Serev can't care about it anymore.

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 me any advice, that's okay. In that case, I'll come back and continue the discussion with the director, and I'll 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. Instead, he felt that Serev was right to do so, which showed that Serev really attached great importance and seriousness to this drama.

When it comes to the choice of the heroine that is related to the fate of the whole drama, of course one should be cautious. If he really chooses a well-known actress casually, then Wang Ye will actually consider whether it is suitable for Serev 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, was 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 it can be seen that although the daily Marina is also a beauty, she is 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, and transformed into the queen who has been passed down through the ages!

However, Wang Ye did not find Marina in the documents that Serev brought. Obviously, she is not yet well-known in the entertainment industry 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 to play the leading role. In 2006, Marina was already twenty-four or five 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, entered the show business circle in her teens, and starred in many TV series and movies. There should be no problem with her acting skills, that is, she is not famous enough.

Now she is used to play the leading role, and the money I have invested now is much more than the first season of "Ekaterina" in 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 in touch 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 it, he must take it seriously.

He said verbally that he would review Marina's audition together with the director, but Serev had already made up his mind, as long as it wasn't too bad, then the female lead 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", "Petersburg Love" and "Star Age". There are leading roles and supporting roles. His acting skills have been unanimously recognized by insiders.

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 powerful actor.

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

Her net worth in the past two years is basically $100,000 if she starred in a movie, and $1,000 per 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 received a play for almost a year.

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

After all, actors like them usually spend a lot more than ordinary people, and their costumes 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 a bald head and a big belly seemed a bit malicious. What he meant was that if Marina wanted to get this role, she would have to pay a little price.

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.

Of course, Marina knew the director's thoughts well. She suppressed the anger in her heart, suppressed her emotions, and smiled 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.

Your TV series, according to the plan, will shoot 20 episodes, it will take about two months, and I only need a salary of 15,000 dollars..."

Actually, she doesn't have a boyfriend, she just uses 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 many dirty things. Marina is quite self-sufficient, and she never wants to degenerate for a role or a play.

Maybe this is one of the reasons why she has not been popular yet.

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