Chapter 1254: Chapter 1027: The Genuine Catherine

"Did you feel something strange about today’s event?" Lily suddenly asked.

Donia nodded, frowning, "Definitely off. Why did it seem like Kirilenko was just waiting for me? As soon as I walked in, he didn’t ask anything; he just let me choose a role and sign the contract.

Lily, do you think this could be a fake crew?"

Lily shook her head, "A fake crew should be impossible, especially since this is an audition held in joint with our school. Moreover, NTV is a very famous television station. They wouldn’t dare impersonate its name with such a big event.

I’m saying it’s strange how easily you got this role.

Could it be..."

She paused, looking at Donia with a complex expression.

Donia was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Lily was implying.

Biting her lip gently, she then took out her phone and said, "I’ll ask Misha and see if he knows anything about this."

Clearly, if someone was behind this, it would be nobody other than Wang Ye.

Among the people Donia knew in Moscow, only Wang Ye had the influence to have NTV run an audition specifically at the Dance Academy for her.

Seeing that Donia was going to call Wang Ye, Lily tactfully found an excuse to go to the restroom.

The call connected quickly, and Wang Ye’s gentle voice came from the other end, "Donia, why are you calling me at this hour? Is something the matter?"

Donia carefully started, "Misha, something happened today that felt rather odd, so I wanted to ask you about it.

It’s like this, you know about NTV, right? They’re about to invest in a super big drama, and then they came to our school..."

After telling him what happened briefly, Donia added, "So, Lily and I think this must have something to do with you, otherwise NTV wouldn’t act this way..."

It turned out to be that matter. Wang Ye had merely mentioned it in passing in front of Xie Liaofu; he hadn’t thought much of it, so he hadn’t specially called to tell Donia.

But now that Donia had asked, he didn’t hide it and simply laughed, saying, "Oh, that’s true, I did mention letting you join Catherine’s crew in front of NTV’s Station Chief Xie Liaofu."

Donia felt an indescribable emotion. She was grateful that Wang Ye was willing to step in for her, yet she felt somewhat disappointed.

Her disappointment stemmed from the realization that this rare opportunity wasn’t because of her own talents; it was merely due to Wang Ye’s influence...

With a sigh, Donia gathered her spirits and said, "To have you intervene in such minor matters, I don’t know..."

Before she could finish, Wang Ye interrupted her, chuckling, "No need for formalities, and you might not know this yet, but I have acquired NTV. From now on, it’s our own station, so do you still think this is a bother?"

Donia was stunned on the spot, at a loss for words.

She had initially felt a bit guilty because, although people would grant this favor to Wang Ye, it still meant owing a favor.

For someone like Wang Ye, a big shot, owing favors was often something he tried to avoid, which is why Donia felt guilty.

But she’d never have guessed that, as it turned out, NTV was now essentially ’their own’ property...

It took her quite a while to find her words and then said in a bewildered tone, "Ah? It was acquired by you? Well... that’s good."

Of course, this was great news for her.

Now that Wang Ye owned a large television station, any roles or appearances she might want in the future would be effortless!

With such a backer, it would be hard for her not to become a superstar...

Wang Ye chatted casually with her for a few more moments, then hung up to continue with his business affairs.

Donia, holding the disconnected phone, stood there dumbfounded until Lily came back and called out to her.

"What did Chairman Mikhail say? Did he pull some strings?" Lily curiously asked.

Donia nodded and then immediately shook her head, which confused Lily.

"So is it or not? Why are you shaking your head and nodding at the same time? What do you mean by that?" Lily asked, astonished.

Donia hesitated for a moment but figured it probably wasn’t a secret, and telling Lily wouldn’t hurt.

She said, "Misha said... he has bought NTV! This drama is funded by him."

Instantly, Lily was also stunned...

.....

For Xie Liaofu, there was one thing recently that was giving him a headache.

He suddenly realized that it was hard when the TV station had no funds, but having too much money was also a problem!

Not to mention this super big drama personally appointed by the Boss; the budget was certainly very, very generous, allowing for all details to be perfected without worrying about money!

However, for this very reason, he felt the responsibility was enormous, and the pressure was significant!

After all, that was half a billion US dollars of real money. Spending so much on a single drama meant it had to be flawless; the thought of messing it up was something Xie Liaofu didn’t even want to imagine...

Honestly, he didn’t think his life was worth half a billion USD...

These days, he had his reliable assistants contacting top screenwriters and top directors everywhere, and the framework for the crew had already been set up.
