Chapter 1251: Chapter 1025: Mass Audition of the Crew_2

So, there was a relatively good chance that Donia could make it into the drama group, but she herself should forget about it.

However, if her good friend became a superstar, she might be able to lend a hand in the future, and running a bit part or playing a supporting role would also be fine!

Of course, neither she nor Donia knew yet that Wang Ye had acquired NTV Television Station.

Otherwise, Lily’s thoughts might not have been so "simple" as they are now...

Donia had naturally also heard about this, and she was somewhat tempted too.

A few days ago, someone from a small drama group approached her about acting in a small production series, but after she told Wang Ye, he immediately vetoed it.

However, for a big production series from a major TV station like NTV, if she were selected, Wang Ye probably wouldn’t veto it this time...

After thinking it over, Donia sighed and said, "I really do want to try, but I don’t know any big shots in the industry and don’t have a way to get in touch with NTV personnel. Even if I wanted to commend myself, I wouldn’t know how to go about it."

Indeed, they were still ordinary students and had only recently arrived in Moscow. They usually stayed on campus and rarely went out, hardly making any contacts.

Since Lily had brought up the subject, she clearly had an idea. Hearing Donia say this, she lowered her voice and mysteriously suggested, "I think this opportunity is rare, you could talk to... him. With his influence, all it should take is a word from him to land you a decent role!"

It had to be said, Lily’s method was indeed feasible.

Even if Wang Ye hadn’t acquired NTV Television Station, with his status, pushing a "connection" into such a drama group would probably just be a phone call away.

Whether NTV Television Station was under A Bu’s control or state-owned assets...

Donia was also tempted, but she felt somewhat embarrassed to bring up such a matter in front of Wang Ye.

It was as if she could only make something of herself by relying on Wang Ye...

Even though this was true, Donia still wanted to try on her own first, and only if that didn’t work out would she turn to Wang Ye!

So in the end, she hesitantly said, "Let’s just wait a bit. I heard the drama group is going to hold auditions at several performing arts schools in Moscow. I’ll give it a shot, and if it really doesn’t work out, then I’ll talk to Misha about it and see if he can do something."

Lily shook her head resignedly, "Hey, you clearly have a shortcut available but choose not to take it, insisting on competing with so many people. What are you trying to prove? Anyway, I’ll accompany you when the time comes. Although I’m sure I won’t stand a chance, at least I can be there to highlight your excellence, hehe."

...

The NTV Drama Group did indeed have plans to audition at various performing arts schools in Moscow, and the Moscow National Dance Academy where Donia and Lily studied was indeed one of the audition locations!

The Dance Academy was well-known, renowned for producing beautiful women...

On the day the drama group came to the school for auditions, the entire Dance Academy was abuzz, with nearly all the students wanting to try their luck. Whether they were selected or not, they at least wanted to give it a shot. Who knew, they might end up being chosen!

That would surely be a meteoric rise!

Lily also accompanied Donia to sign up in their department and, following the drama group’s notice, arrived at the designated time at the school’s gymnasium for the audition interview.

When they reached the entrance of the gymnasium and saw the long queue, both felt a bit daunted.

"Maybe... we should just forget it. With so many people coming for the audition, there’s no chance we’ll be picked," Donia started to have second thoughts.

Lily was a bit braver, encouraging her, "What are you afraid of? We’ve already registered; at the very least, we should give it a try!"

Hearing her say this, Donia felt embarrassed to back out, so she nodded her head, and they started to queue up.

But looking at the length of the line, who knew how long it would take to get through...

...

It was apparent that the efficiency of the drama group staff responsible for the preliminary selection was quite high, as there was a constant stream of students coming out from inside, all of whom had finished their auditions.

However, judging from these people’s facial expressions and demeanors, the results seemed far from ideal...

Many were downcast, and it was clear they hadn’t been selected.

But this was normal, after all, since the drama group only needed a limited number of people, and most of the important roles would still prioritize famous luxury brand actors.

In the school, they were merely picking some minor supporting roles, with very few slots available and so many participants, the requirements were naturally very high.

Unless your image and temperament were a perfect fit for a certain role, dazzling the selection staff, otherwise you basically had no chance.

"What the heck, I have no idea what the TV station people are doing. I didn’t even say two sentences before they sized me up and told me to get out. I didn’t even get to showcase the talent I’d prepared so diligently." A student who had just come out complained.

This drew sighs from the other students still queuing up, making everyone feel even more anxious.

Just then, a staff member hurriedly walked out of the gym, surveying the students in line and raising his voice, "Is there a Donia here? Has Donia arrived?"

Donia was stunned for a moment, not immediately realizing her name was being called.

Fortunately, Lily, standing beside her, heard the call loud and clear and quickly nudged Donia, reminding her, "That person seems to be calling your name."

Timidly, Donia stepped out of the lineup, raised her hand, and responded, "Teacher, I am Donia."

The staff member’s eyes lit up as he quickly walked over, comparing Donia with the information he held in his hand and then said with a smile, "Please follow me inside."

Donia hesitated. She didn’t know what the staff member was there for, let alone what she was supposed to do inside.

Besides, she was in the middle of lining up. What if she missed her chance at the audition...

So she said hesitatingly, "Teacher, may I ask what you need me for? I’m in line preparing for the NTV Drama Group’s audition."

The staff member hurriedly explained, "I’m from the NTV Television Station, responsible for actor selection at your academy. I just saw your profile and think you are very suitable for a certain role in the play, so I came out to call you in for an interview first."

Could this really be happening?

Donia could hardly believe it, while Lily, who was behind her, stepped forward and subtly grabbed Donia’s arm, smiling, "That’s great! Teacher, may I accompany her inside? I’m Donia’s best friend. With me present, she might perform better during her interview."

The staff member nodded without hesitation and agreed.

With her best friend by her side, Donia had nothing to fear, so the two followed the staff member into the gym.

Once inside, they saw that the gymnasium also had a long queue—it looked like more people had come for the interview than expected!

It seemed like almost the entire academy had come to "join in the fun"...

The staff member led Donia and Lily through the crowd, taking them directly to the far end, where the real preliminary selection interviews were being held in a large room.

Upon entering the room, Donia saw a few tables set up toward the back with several people sitting behind them, looking toward her.

She immediately bowed slightly and greeted the interview teachers.

The man seated in the center, who appeared to be in his fifties, said with a kind smile, "You must be Miss Donia, come and have a seat, let’s chat."

The staff member promptly brought over two chairs for Donia and Lily to sit down.

Normally, the students who came in for interviews didn’t get chairs and had to stand while talking to the interviewers. Donia didn’t know why she was receiving different treatment...
