Chapter 1258: Chapter 1029: No One Else But You

Because Marina, now wearing a luxurious court robe and crowned with a crown, seemed like a completely different person from just moments ago!

With slightly pursed lips and a cold gaze, her chin tilted up slightly, and a scepter symbolizing power in her hand, draped in a gorgeous robe and a diamond-studded crown shining on her head, she simply stood there but had already become the center of attention!

The Marina now appeared as though she had stepped out of an oil painting, like that Empress!

"This is exactly the Empress Catherine I envisioned..." Charovsky suddenly stood up, his voice trembling a bit, his chest heaving with evident excitement.

At this moment, he had completely forgotten his celebrity friends, because the girl standing at the door perfectly matched all his imaginations of Empress Catherine!

Charovsky felt that he could not imagine anyone more suitable to play Catherine than Marina, because no one could fit the role better than she did!

Xie Liaofu was also deeply shocked; he rubbed his eyes and took a serious look at Marina again, silently marvelling in his heart.

The Boss is indeed the Boss!

This insight, truly sharp...

This Marina, before makeup and changing clothes, looked quite ordinary without anything remarkable.

But now, after simple makeup and changing clothes, it felt like she had completely "transformed"!

In fact, Xie Liaofu and Charovsky had already let several female stars come to audition, using the same clothes and makeup, but both felt somewhat lacking, so the lead actress had not yet been confirmed.

Today, Marina’s audition instantly impressed both Xie Liaofu and Charovsky, making them believe she was the most suitable candidate.

As for Xie Liaofu, since Marina was the candidate personally chosen by the Boss, he would definitely not oppose it.

And by now, Charovsky had no more dissatisfaction in his heart, evidently preferring the role of director over personal connections, eager to create a widely acclaimed masterpiece!

With a budget of five hundred million US dollars and with a lead actress who seemed the very reincarnation of Catherine, he felt even more confident about the drama!

......

Xie Liaofu and Charovsky’s burning gaze made Marina quite scared...

Seeing them staring intensely at her without saying a word made her instantly a bit uneasy; she timidly asked, "Um... Mr. Xie Liaofu, Mr. Charovsky, do you think I... am suitable?"

Xie Liaofu vigorously nodded his head and unreservedly said, "Perfectly suitable! This role is made for you!"

Charovsky quickly chimed in, "Exactly! Absolutely perfect, this is the very Empress Catherine in my mind..."

Her agent was both shocked and delighted; she hadn’t expected Marina’s audition to go so smoothly, not even needing to showcase her acting skills, simply by changing clothes and makeup, she had managed to impress both Big Shots into a slight state of disarray!

Indeed, to the agent’s eyes, Xie Liaofu and Charovsky were undoubtedly Big Shots...

......

Since both Xie Liaofu and Charovsky were satisfied with Marina’s audition, the next steps would be easy.

Charovsky then simply had Marina perform a few scenes, and he was very approving of her acting. In fact, even if Marina’s acting had been slightly off, Charovsky would not have made it difficult for her.

After all, acting skills can be coached and improved, but the innate image and demeanor, especially one that so perfectly matches Empress Catherine, would be incredibly difficult to find in another actress!

Xie Liaofu directly instructed his assistant to bring the contracts, intending to sign Marina on the spot.

However, he was not just signing an ordinary performance contract, but directly signing Marina herself!

Picking up the contract brought by the assistant, Xie Liaofu warmly said to Marina, "I just had a chat with your agent, and I heard that you are currently affiliated with an entertainment company but have not signed a fixed contract, which means you are still free, right?"

It wasn’t that Marina was particularly special, but because the Russia economy had been poor these years, the entertainment circle was even tougher to endure, and most actors did not have fixed contracts, also known as being free agents.

Because if a brokerage company wanted to sign long-term or even lifetime contracts with actors, they would need to pay a considerable price, like guaranteed income and industry resources.

But most actors ended up being financial liabilities, so naturally, no brokerage company wanted to sign them, resulting in the kind of affiliation arrangement Marina had.

This meant when she had acting opportunities, the affiliated brokerage company would send a professional agent to negotiate and sign contracts for her, earning a cut if successful, but if there were no acting opportunities, the brokerage company generally wouldn’t care about your well-being...

In short, Marina was free to come and go without any restrictions.

So, upon hearing Xie Liaofu’s question, Marina nodded, "Yes, I am just affiliated with this agency, and according to the contract, both parties have the right to terminate it at any time without needing to pay compensation."

Xie Liaofu smiled, "That makes things easier. Our NTV Television Station has just established its own brokerage company responsible for signing up luxury brand artists or those with potential. In the future, the tower’s resources will also favor our signed artists by giving them plenty of exposure opportunities. Would you like to sign with us?"
