As Empress Ye became a massive hit, the actors in the show became famous along with it.
Especially the two actresses who played the female lead, Catherine the Great: Tonya and Marina.
There was no need to say much about Marina. As the undisputed leading lady, she had the most screen time, and she had completely brought the adult Catherine the Great to life!
Especially Empress Ye after her coronation. Her eyes brimmed with ambition and contempt for all things, perfectly matching everyone's image of Catherine the Great.
From an unknown bit-part actress to exploding in popularity after appearing in this drama, Marina had now become the hottest star in the industry, without equal!
Those people in the industry who had once looked down on her and avoided her now took pride in knowing her. Many directors and major brands had offered her lucrative collaborations, things she had never dared dream of before.
But Marina had turned them all down without hesitation.
Her new agent had asked her in confusion why she was rejecting these offers. It would have been understandable if she only turned down film and television roles. After all, the next season of Empress Ye would begin filming soon, and as the absolute lead, Marina probably would not have time to shoot other movies or dramas.
But it was such a shame to reject endorsement contracts from major brands. All she had to do was shoot a short commercial or make an appearance at a brand launch event, and she could earn a huge sum. Besides, endorsements from major brands were a mark of a true superstar.
Marina's answer was that she did not want to be distracted by any outside matters. She only wanted to focus wholeheartedly on filming the next season of Empress Ye well.
