Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

There is no way, the overall economy of the country is not good, and even the entertainment industry has been having a hard time in recent years.

Originally, it was a problem for everyone to eat. How could there be "spare money" to support the entertainment industry? Generally speaking, countries with developed entertainment industries have very good economic development.

Suddenly a "tycoon" comes out and wants to spend a lot of money. Who doesn't want to share some of it? Besides, this kind of investment has never been heard of before. Even in countries as rich as the United States, no American TV series is willing to spend so much money. shoot.

Obviously, this drama will definitely become a sensation once it is filmed, and even become popular all over the world.

If I could play a role in this drama, I might become famous in one fell swoop and become a world-famous star...

Suddenly, the inconspicuous and usually deserted building of the NTV television station headquarters began to become busy with traffic.

Serev had to turn off his cell phone these days because too many acquaintances called him, wanting to recommend himself or a friend to join the crew.

If it was the crew of the TV station in the past, Serev and the leaders of the station would occasionally stuff some "connected households" into it.

This is also an unspoken rule in the industry, and everyone understands it tacitly.

But this time is different, because whether this drama can be filmed well or not is related to Serev's future!

So he had already made harsh words on the stage. No one should have selfish motives and should not add inappropriate personnel to the crew. Otherwise, get out immediately!

Including himself...

The reason why he personally served as the leader of the preparatory group was to prevent other leaders in the Taiwanese government from "causing chaos".

Otherwise, it is really possible that a group of "connected people" would be crammed into the crew while I wasn't paying attention, and in the end it would be a mess. Others would pat their butts and take the money and leave, leaving only a big scapegoat for Serev to shoulder...

Of course, Serev is not only doing it for his own future, he also really hopes to be the producer himself and produce a major drama with world-class influence.

With a budget of several hundred million dollars, this kind of opportunity is too rare.

Not to mention the TV industry in poor countries like Russia, even Hollywood, the richest country in the United States, has not yet seen a major production with a budget of US$500 million!

That is to say, the news has not spread to Europe and the United States. Otherwise, even the big-name actors in Hollywood may want to come over and join in the fun...

Serev has thought about it. The selection of actors for the crew this time must not be limited to Russia, but must be selected from all over Europe and even the world!

Because there is such a huge investment in this drama, it would be too "wasteful" just to broadcast it in Russia. In the future, many foreign TV stations will definitely buy the broadcast rights.

If there are more actors with global reputations, it will be more conducive to influence abroad.

Although this drama mainly talks about the history of Tsarist Russia, don’t forget that in fact, even Ekaterina herself is not a real Russian...

At that time, all the royal families in Europe were basically relatives.

It has even happened many times that the prince of this country went to another country to serve as emperor. Maybe Asians think this is too ridiculous, but Europeans think it is very normal...

…………

The news that NTV is preparing a super drama has naturally spread throughout the Russian entertainment industry.

Needless to say, people in the circle try their best to get a chance to join the crew. Not to mention the question of how much money they earn, just by going to such a big crew to get a chance to be gilded, their net worth will double in the future. How many times!

After all, being able to participate in such a big production is also a qualification for an actor.

In addition, those who are related to the entertainment industry, such as students from various film schools, dance school students, etc., anyone who has anything to do with it is ready to make a move.

Because NTV has announced that this drama requires many roles, spanning all ages and professions, so it will conduct a large-scale selection of actors from around the world.

Of course, under the same conditions, local Russian actors will be given priority. After all, everyone speaks Russian, and it is easier to communicate.

Everyone at the Moscow State Dance Academy where Tonya and Liye are studying has been discussing this matter in the past few days.

For the students at the school, if they are selected to join the crew and play a role, it will be the "peak of their debut"!

But everyone also understands that hope is very slim. After all, their school mainly teaches dance, not acting.

When it comes to acting skills, those film schools obviously have an advantage.

The only advantage students from dance schools may have is that they have better image and temperament, but compared to the beauties from the acting department of film schools, this is not much of an advantage.

After all, there is no shortage of beauties here in Eastern Europe...

"Tonya, have you heard? NTV is preparing a super drama with an investment of several hundred million dollars! We are currently selecting actors. I think you can give it a try. Don't you always want to be a TV drama? Are you a big star? Being able to show up in such a big production will make you more famous than performing a hundred ballets!"

In the campus, Liye said to Tonya enthusiastically.

She didn't mention her own affairs. After all, Liye also knew herself. In terms of appearance, dance, and background, she couldn't compare with Dongnia.

Therefore, Dongnia still has a certain probability of joining the crew, so don’t think about it.

But if my good friend can become a big star, he can help me in the future, and he can play a supporting role or something like that!

Of course, neither she nor Tonya knew yet that NTV TV station had been acquired by Wang Ye.

Otherwise, Li Ye's idea may not be as "simple" as it is now...

Dongnia had naturally heard of this incident, and she was also a little moved.

A few days ago, someone from a small production team came to her and asked her to star in a small-production series. However, after she told Wang Ye, Wang Ye rejected the offer.

However, if he can be selected for a big-production drama series from a big TV station like NTV, Wang Ye probably won’t veto it anymore...

Dongnia thought for a while, sighed and said: "I really want to give it a try, but I don't know any big names in the industry, and I have no channels to contact people from NTV. Even if I want to recommend myself, I don't know how. Do."

Yes, they are still ordinary students now, and they have just arrived in Moscow not long ago. They usually stay on campus and rarely go out. They have basically never come into contact with anyone. How can they have connections?

Since Liye mentioned this matter, of course she had her own thoughts. After hearing what Dongnia said, she lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "I think this opportunity is rare. You can talk to... him. With him With the energy, if I just tell you something, I should be able to get a good role!"

I have to say that Liye's method is indeed feasible.

Even if Wang Ye did not acquire the NTV TV station, given his status, if he wanted to add a "connected person" to this kind of crew, it would basically be just a phone call away.

Regardless of whether NTV TV station is owned by Abu or state-owned...

Dongnia was also a little moved, but she felt embarrassed to mention such a thing in front of Wang Ye.

It seems as if I can only rely on Wang Ye if I want to achieve anything...

Although this is the case, Dongnia still wants to try her best to rely on her own abilities. If it doesn't work, she can go to Wang Ye!

So in the end, she still said hesitantly: "Let's wait first. It is said that the crew will hold auditions at several art schools in Moscow. I will try it out then. If it doesn't work, I will talk to Mi Let Sha talk about this and see if he can do anything about it."

Li Ye shook her head helplessly and said: "Hey, you don't take the shortcut when there is obviously a shortcut. You have to compete with so many people. What are you trying to do? Forget it, I will accompany you then. Although I will definitely have no chance, at least It can also be used as a foil to highlight your excellence, hehe."

…………

The NTV crew does have plans to audition at major art schools in Moscow, and the Moscow State Dance Academy where Tonya and Liye are studying is indeed one of the audition locations!

After all, this dance academy is still very famous and is known to be rich in beauties...

On the day when the crew came to the school for auditions, the entire dance academy was in a sensation. Almost all the students were eager to try. Regardless of whether they could be selected or not, they should at least give it a try, just in case they were selected!

Wouldn’t that be a step to the sky!

Li Ye also accompanied Dongnia to the department to register, and then followed the crew's notice and came to the school gymnasium at the designated time for the audition interview.

When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the gymnasium, they felt a little guilty looking at the long queue in front of the door.

"Otherwise... let's forget it. With so many people coming to participate in the audition, it's impossible for us to be chosen." Dongnia backed down.

Li Ye was a little more courageous and cheered her up: "What are you afraid of? I've already registered my name anyway, so I have to give it a try!"

Hearing what she said, Dongnia was too embarrassed to back down anymore, so she nodded, and the two began to line up.

But looking at the length of the queue, I don’t know how long it will take...

…………

It can be seen that the crew responsible for the auditions are quite efficient, because students are constantly coming out of the auditions, and these have all finished their interviews.

But judging from the faces and expressions of these people, the results should not be ideal...

Many people were crestfallen, knowing at first glance that they had not been chosen.

But this is normal. After all, the crew needs only a limited number of people, and most of the important roles still give priority to famous actors.

In school, it's just a matter of selecting some unimportant supporting roles. There are very few places and there are so many people participating, so the requirements are naturally very high.

Unless your image and temperament are very suitable for a certain role and can make the audition staff shine, otherwise, there is basically no chance.

"What? I really don't know what the people at the TV station are doing. They didn't say a few words when they entered. They looked me over and let me out. I didn't even have a chance to show off my carefully prepared talent show." A person who just came out the students complained.

This caused the students who were still queuing next to sigh, and made everyone even more uneasy.

At this moment, a staff member hurriedly walked out of the gymnasium. He looked around at the students lining up and raised his voice and said, "Who is Tonya? Is Tonya here?"

After Dongnia heard it, she was stunned for a moment. She didn't realize that this was calling her name.

Fortunately, Li Ye next to her heard clearly and quickly poked Dongnia and reminded: "That person seems to be calling your name."

Tonya walked out of the team timidly, raised her hand and responded: "Teacher, I am Tonya."

The staff member's eyes lit up, he walked over quickly, compared Dongnia with a piece of information he was holding, and said with a smile on his face: "Please come in with me."

Dongnia was a little hesitant. She didn't know what the staff did, let alone what she was asked to do.

Besides, I am queuing up, what if I miss the opportunity to audition...

So she said hesitantly: "Teacher, what do you want to see me for? I'm lining up to audition for the NTV crew."

The staff member quickly explained: "I am from NTV, responsible for the selection of actors in your school. I just saw your information and felt that you are very suitable for a role in the drama, so I came out and called you in for an interview."

Is there such a good thing?

Dongnia felt a little unbelievable for a moment, but Liye, who was behind her, took a step forward, took Dongnia's arm without leaving a trace, and said with a smile: "That's great! Teacher, I can go in with her." Well, I am Dongnia’s best friend, and with me here, she should be able to perform better during the interview.”

The staff member nodded without hesitation.

Now that she had a good friend with her, Tonya had nothing to be afraid of, so the two of them followed the staff member into the gym.

After entering, I found that there was also a long queue in the gym. It seemed that there were more people coming for interviews today than expected!

It feels like almost all the students in the school have come to "join in the fun"...

The staff took Dongnia and the two through the crowd and went directly to the innermost area. The real interview was in a large room inside.

After pushing the door open and entering, Tonya saw an empty room with a few tables placed inside, and a few people sitting in the back looking at her.

She quickly bowed slightly and said hello to several interviewing teachers.

A man in his fifties sitting in the middle said with a kind smile: "It's Miss Tonya, come and sit down and chat."

The staff nearby quickly moved two chairs and asked Dongnia and Liye to sit down.

Originally, when the students came in for the interview, there were no chairs to sit on. They all stood and talked to the interviewing teachers. I don’t know why Tonya was treated differently... (End of this chapter)
