Coming to the door of the TV station, Olina opened her arms and hugged Martin tightly: "Finally waiting for you to come to Kyiv." “

Martin smiled and said: "You and Alexandrovich are sincerely invited, of course I want to come and have a look." ”

Olena let go of her arm and introduced the middle-aged bald man next to him: "This is our partner, Rebrov, the director of 1+1 TV. ”

Martin shook his hand: "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Rebrov's English is quite good: "Martin, it is a great honor for us to be here. ”

Aleksandrovich came from behind and said, "Let's go in and talk." ”

The four of them entered the TV station together.

"This way." Alexandrovich led the way in front of the head.

The group went directly to the third floor, and as soon as they came out of the elevator, they heard the sound of singing and music.

Although it was Ukrainian, Martin could tell from the tune, which was the classic "Stop Stop Stop".

It is also the most widely circulated song of the Holy Maiden Celestial Troupe.

Hearing this song, Martin will think of the live singing performances he often saw when he watched videos in his previous life, and the performances of the black, white and red trio were particularly impressive.

It's a pity that he can't remember which Holy Maiden Heavenly Troupe it is.

According to Alexandrovich, the Holy Lady Order often changes members, and has changed 16 times.

Under Aleksandrovich's guidance, Martin entered a huge practice room.

As soon as you come in, the fragrance is fragrant, and the beautiful scenery on the opposite side almost dazzles people's eyes.

The fifteen finalists, all wearing hot pants and short shirts, stood opposite each other in a row, as if waiting for Martin to review.

Everyone has a different face shape, different figure, different height, different hair color, and a very recognizable beauty, unlike the one produced by the assembly line, which is almost all carved out of a mold.

"Good morning, everyone." Martin greeted the men.

The players bent down and bowed in unison: "Hello, Martin." ”

They spoke English and sounded pretty good.

Alexandrovich accompanied Martin over and introduced them one by one: "This is Vera, this is Anastasia, this is Nastya, this is Mia, this is Erica ......"

Martin shook hands with the contestants one by one, saying encouraging words of encouragement, but with a few small notes in his hand.

A lot of female players seem to have other ideas.

Martin slipped it into his pocket.

Alexandrovich introduced another slightly petite girl: "This is Nikia. ”

Martin looked at her slightly, full of blonde hair, slap face, not tall, but the body was very well proportioned, and said, "We seem to have met, right?" ”

Knowing that Martin was coming today, Nikia had already prepared for a long time and said, "Can you say a few words alone for a while?" ”

Most of the girls here seemed to be able to understand English, and as soon as Nikia said this, the others looked at her.

Martin didn't seem to notice, and whispered, "You'll come to me later." ”

The eyes of the other girls were all focused on Nikia, and they did not hide their envy and jealousy.

As we all know, there are many women, and there is a place of competition, and many times the air pressure is so low that people are unwilling to stay.

There was also a girl in the back who also hinted to Martin: "Can I talk to you alone?" ”

The girls' eyes widened one by one, and if their gaze could eat people, Martin would definitely be eaten by them.

Martin coped with ease and said, "I've known Nikia for a long time, and I want to ask her something. ”

Aleksandrovich, as the organizer and host of the show, hurriedly pressed down with both hands: "Don't mess up, everyone, train with peace of mind, the finals will start soon." ”

Martin visited the players and left the practice room for a while, beckoning to Nikia.

He looked at Rebrov: "Is there a separate reception room, I'll talk to her for a few words." ”

Rebrov immediately said to the assistant: "The reception room on this floor. ”

The assistant hurried to open the door.

Martin and Bruce entered the reception room together, and Nikia followed.

"Sit casually." Martin sat on a single sofa.

Nikia sat down opposite Martin and said cautiously: "Before Alexandrovich, I didn't expect to meet Ling in Ukraine. ”

Martin asked: "How did you come to Ukraine?" ”

"I'm a Ukrainian." Nikia smiled reluctantly: "I couldn't stay in North America anymore and ran back to Ukraine." ”

She glanced at Martin, a little wary, and said, "And it has something to do with you." ”

Martin was surprised: "Something to do with me?" Looks like we've only met twice, right? Once at Morgan Freeman's farm, and the other at the door of the WMA. ”

Nikia said, "Me, Mia, and Marlena came to you for another purpose, not because of Morgan Freeman's party. ”

Martin nodded, "I can guess." ”

He had it checked at the time, but the three girls soon disappeared from Los Angeles.

Nikia was in Ulank and decided to speak out about North America: "Martin, have you heard of Michelle Brian? ”

Martin is in Hollywood, and of course he knows this man: "After Heidi Fryce, the most famous bustard in Los Angeles, it is said that he was punished by the FBI fishing a few years ago. ”

Nikia said: "After Michelle came out, she was still in the industry, and she was bigger and busier, because she was only fined tens of thousands of dollars, and she was not placed under residential surveillance, and many people thought that her business was reliable, that there would be no problems, and that even if there were problems, it would be easy to settle." ”

Martin asked, "How long have you been with Michelle?" ”

"More than a year." Nikia said: "I went to Los Angeles from Europe, I wanted to be a star, and I learned that the threshold for this industry is very low, but it is difficult to become famous, and the income from being an extra is not enough to even eat. ”

She also has some nostalgia: "The income under her is very good, it can be five figures a month, but some of the client's interests are too special to bear, and Michelle is very controlling, in order to attract rich heavyweight customers, often use some less glamorous means." “

Martin nodded slightly: "For a customer like me?" ”

Nikia said carefully: "Yes, before going to Morgan Freeman's farm, Michelle specifically found me, Mia and Marlena, maybe the three of us are more beautiful and have different styles, there is always one that suits your appetite." ”

Martin recalls that Marlena is like an innocent girl, Mia is a blonde meat bullet, and Nikia on the other side is a standard white skinny child.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being a leader in this industry.

He asked, "Just make me your customer?" How much money can this make from me. ”

Even if he rents a party from time to time, how much can it cost?

What's more, this kind of bought love is boring after a few times.

"Michelle will let us hook you first, and when you're back up and indulging in the party, she'll give you a special gift, if nothing else, drugs," said Nikia. ”

Martin really wasn't surprised at all: "Make me an addict? ”

"In fact, a lot of Hollywood addicts are big clients of Michelle, such as Depp." Nikia hurriedly emphasized: "I don't have any evidence, these are all rumors that we discussed in private, Depp sometimes finds someone to play with him, and these people will discuss it privately when they come back." ”

Martin remembered what happened in Death Valley National Park and asked, "When Depp was filming "The Lone Ranger", Michelle supplied him with goods? ”

Nikia shook her head: "I don't know, this business seems to be independent. ”

Martin asked, "Actually, I noticed you, but you suddenly disappeared from Los Angeles." ”

"Michelle is hell-bent on developing you into a big customer, and the three of us are paid very well." Nikia describes the situation: "We got the money, we thought you were too wary and a little ......"

She glanced at Martin and said embarrassedly, "It's a bit perverted, it made us dance for so long, but we didn't do anything." Marlena said that doing what Michelle tells you to do again may cause you to be alerted, and you are not easy to mess with, so we decided to take Michelle's money, do nothing, and run away. ”

Martin said: "You went back to Ukraine, and you also participated in the selection of the Holy Maiden Celestial Order. ”

Nikia smiled: "I also had the idea of trying it out, but I didn't expect to win a large number of supporters." ”

She suddenly remembered something: "People from my hometown called me a few days ago and told me that someone had come to inquire about me, and I was out recently, and I always felt that someone was sneaking around, maybe I was suspicious......"

Martin asked, "How did Michelle deal with people like you who ran away in the past?" ”

"I don't know." Nikia thought back for a moment and said, "But in private, Michelle said that no one can take her money, and she can live well without doing things." ”

Because of worry, she was terrified: "I suspect that Michelle's people are chasing Ukraine." ”

Martin glanced at Bruce, who nodded slightly, picked up his phone and started sending messages.

Nikia asked, "I...... What should I do? ”

Martin said directly: "Train with peace of mind, follow the arrangements of the program team, don't go out in private, and wait for the game to start." ”

Nikia responded: "I completely obey the arrangement of the program team. ”

Martin told Nikia to go back, and when he came out of the reception room, he saw Aleksandrovich and the TV station director Rebrov, and explained what had just happened.

"Someone trying to catch our players?" Aleksandrovich is not tall, but the top of his head began to be on fire, in front of the boss, engaged in the program he focused on planning, isn't this a slap in the face?

The program's astonishing high advertising cost caused a sensation in the CIS and Eastern Europe, and catching the show's contestants was tantamount to robbing the money of all participants in the program, and Rebrov was ruthless: "Those bastards are coming, the TV station has armed bodyguards, and their AKs are full of bullets!" ”

Aleksandrovich also had a little confidence in the village chief, and said to Martin: "Boss, this is Kyiv, not Los Angeles, those bastards don't understand the rules of conduct here at all!" “

Martin had some ideas, but this was not Los Angeles, so he only brought four more bodyguards, and it was up to the people here to do things, and said, "We can't be completely sure if those rats exist, but we can't risk the show." ”

Involved in tens of millions of dollars in revenue sharing, Rebrov nodded again and again: "Yes, you can't risk being a mouse that doesn't exist." “

Aleksandrovich agreed: "Boss, what do you say to do? “

Martin said: "According to you, the players are basically two points and one line, and when they are not training at the TV station, they rest in the hotel? ”

Aleksandrovich said: "The schedule before the finals is very tight, they don't have time to spare. ”

Martin asked, "Are our security personnel adequate and professional?" ”

"The TV station is part of the Privat Group and has enough professional security personnel. ”

Martin had done some work before he arrived, and knew that the Privat Group was one of the oligarchs in Ukraine, and that its core bank, Privat, was among the top 500 World Banks.

Of course, this little thing does not alarm the top of the oligarchy.

"We're loose on the outside and tight on the inside, we're still on the outside, and we're all in the hands of professionals, except for the people we need," Martin said. ”

Aleksandrovich added: "There is a need for some female security personnel. ”

"Small." Rebrov called.

Soon, the three security captains entered the reception room and discussed together.

Martin then approached Nikia and handed her a pair of alarms provided by the security guards, who would be notified immediately if something went wrong, pressing the button on her watch.

…………

"Servant of the People" made Alexandrovich a household name in Ukraine, and the contest for the selection of the Celestial Lady of the Virgin was initiated and organized by him, and the budget stage caused a sensation in the CIS and Eastern Europe.

Martin joined as a judge for the finals, further fueling the heat.

There are many reporters reporting around the program group, and they are even waiting 24 hours a day.

Andrei, with a tag on his chest and a camera in his hand, left the door of the TV station and got into a car.

It didn't take long for two other people to get into the car.

Andrei asked the bearded man: "Victor, what's going on with you?" ”

Victor rubbed his beard and said, "That girl named Nikia has been going back and forth between the TV station and the hotel, and she is very careful that our people can't reach her. ”

Andrei asked, "Can you do it along the way?" ”

Victor shook his head directly: "They are in a bus, and there are security personnel vehicles in front and behind, unless they hire someone to rob them with arms." ”

Andrei tapped on the steering wheel: "It seems that a trapping plan is going to be developed." ”

He looked at the blonde young man on the other side: "Leonid, is there any progress on your side?" ”

"Yes, a dance teacher took our money and took our materials." Leonid shook off his beautiful blonde hair and said, "I have already communicated with her, and she will try to persuade a few of these relatively silly and sweet people." ”

He added: "Some of these players are from average backgrounds and have limited knowledge, but their heads are full of star dreams. ”

"Ordinary people who do not want to leave Ukraine and go to a paradise country." That's how Andrei left Ukraine and went to the United States to pursue his dream: "Believe me, the American dream of stardom will move many people. ”

Leonid said: "Boss, after this time, we can also go to the United States?" ”

Andrei laughed: "Of course! I'll take you to enjoy the warm sunshine of Los Angeles, and as long as you follow me, you'll earn five times as much as here, or dollars! ”

Both Victor and Leonid laughed happily.

…………

TV station, a practice room near the lounge.

Erica Helsegg, with her golden ponytail, slowly came in, took off her sweaty dance clothes, kicked off her dancing shoes and sat on the ground.

Nastya Zhekvnikova, with her long brown and black hair and shawl, glanced at her companion next to her.

Misha Normanova shook off the big waves of red hair, came to the door of the lounge, looked out, saw that there was no one outside, and closed the door.

The three of them are roommates, and the relationship is the best among the candidates who are about to participate in the finals, Erica sees the door of death and asks, "Have a secret to tell?" ”

"Based on the dance rehearsals I had recently rehearsed, I had a bold inference that the finals would be a team of three at a critical stage," Nastya said. ”

Erica clasped her hands around her knees and knead: "There is no notice from above." ”

Misha said, "Start your head under your blonde hair!" Erica, you're not really big-breasted, are you? ”

Erica shrugged: "I've been an operator for too long, I'm a little out of touch with society, and I'm a little less informed. ”

Nastya rolled her eyes: "If it weren't for me and Misha, you would have been sold a long time ago!" ”

The relationship between the girls is very peculiar, and they often become best friends when they see each other, and she reminded Erica: "There are a lot of bad people in the candidate group, you have to think about it when you encounter something, if you don't understand it, ask me and Misha's opinion first." ”

Nastya is the youngest, but she began performing on stage at the age of six, and after the age of fifteen, she participated in two talent shows in succession, and is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable of the three.

Misha also said: "Don't be sold, and help you count the money." ”

Erica hurriedly responded: "Okay, okay, I will definitely consult you if something happens." ”

Nastya returned to the topic: "You know, I have participated in two drafts, although I was eliminated in the end, but I am very familiar with the process of talent shows, the Holy Maiden Celestial Troupe only selects three members, and in the end, we will definitely be allowed to form a team of three or three, as an important part of the assessment." ”

"The three of us will live together, and when we go back in the evening, we will practice singing together, and if we have the strength to do so, we can also practice dancing together," she proposed. ”

Misha said: "The opportunity is in front of us, and we must not miss it!" ”

Compared with Nastya and Misha born in the 90s, Erica, who was born in 1988, values opportunities more seriously, and at the age of 25, she has achieved nothing, and she doesn't want to go back to being an operator.

After the three of them finished discussing, they changed their clothes and left.

Erica goes to the Latin dance studio next door, ready to ask her dance teacher, Olga, some dance questions.

After a period of training, Olga has a basic understanding of this group of students, and it seems that she is a stupid white sweet, and she is very patient to answer.

Erica was a little anxious.

Olga said: "Be patient, you have to have a normal heart. ”

Erica flicked the golden ponytail to the back of her head: "Of all the candidates, I am the oldest, and if I miss this opportunity, I will not be able to make it out in my life." Teacher, I don't want to go back and be an operator again. ”

Olga smiled and shook her head: "There is never a shortage of opportunities around us...... Well, I have a student, about the same age as you, who was brushed off in the Kiev district finals, and she was so uncomfortable that she wanted to jump off the building, but the opportunity always appeared inadvertently, and a Hollywood scout took a fancy to her! ”
