《Alexander Creed: Re-Life》Chapter 58: Galina's Agenda
Advertisement
The Jovovich family has a great history in their homeland with great heritage and notable ancestors to take pride in.
Galina Loginova married into the family through Bogdan Jovovich. Life was well with her job in the film industry, her husband's doctorate, and being blessed with a beautiful daughter.
It was unfortunate that such happy times didn't last long.
Ever since their many transfers from their hometown due to the many unrests, life hasn't been kind to the Jovovich family.
Bogdan Jovovich had strayed and became disoriented with the shift, leaving the mother and daughter pair to fend for themselves in the new country, America.
Galina didn't just idle by and worked hard to make ends meet. All the while, she was ambitious to get back to her previous status and possibly even improve from it by being a Hollywood actress.
Galina then worked hard on her jobs while also going on film auditions for her chance at a comeback.
She was pretty sure that she could use her experience and credentials from the Russian film circle but it just wasn't cut out for Hollywood.
Her heavy Russian accent had limited her options as American films needing Russian ladies are quite hard to come by.
Hollywood's Major Studios were out of reach for now but that didn't mean that the minor production studios didn't have something for her.
It was unfortunate that her chances are slimmer once again with these studios not even having any completed works that could reach offline distribution, theatrical release, or even post-production at all.
Her determination was still undone as she sought chances on whatever she could sniff out from her encounters and the people she interacted with.
In her search and reconnaissance, she eventually landed her attention on notable small but efficient film production companies.
Too bad that her Russian accent and Russian identity trumped her attempts at stable stardom once again.

The accent could be fixed but the aversion towards the Russian identity couldn't.
Galina, then sought, to change her strategy which was to get rid of Russian prejudices and make a clean slate through her daughter that is still young and is on her way to Americanization.
Hence, from that point forward, Milla was her new method and Galina also sought to give her daughter a better chance at glamourous Hollywood.
Her search and plans were commencing but as Milla is still young, she would be forming the opportunities herself and set the groundwork early.
------
It was timely that Galina grabbed hold of a certain information from one of the minor production studios. She had many of them marked on her list as a potential breakthrough point but this one stood out.
It was a weird and intriguing film company after all.
An adult film company headed by one Sullivan Creed was among the minor studios with a much better completion track record than all the other bumbling minor studios that had no works to take pride in.
The adult filmography and progression were systematic. Which meant that it was headed by a professional and potentially hidden senior in the American film industry.
Galina's hunch wasn't wrong as she asked around from her encounters and got to know the special identity of Mr. Creed.
He was an old established businessman who likes to be low-key but with many contacts to the film industry and even other industries outside of it.
If Galina's Russian contacts are enough to help her tide through the hard times, then Mr. Sullivan Creed's contacts were not something that anybody could just scoff at.
Mr. Creed's Creed Adult Films may not seem something that could be stomached by someone with decency but with its recent switch to 'proper' mainstream feature films, the prospects of the so-called Creed Pictures were much higher than anyone on Galina's list.

If she could establish a connection with a hidden expert, then paving her and Milla's path into the industry would be much higher.
The opportunity finally came when it is said that Mr. Creed was looking for a babysitter to keep watch of his little grandson for him.
No matter how shameful it was to devolve from a film actress into a child's nanny, Galina took this chance to try and get an acquaintanceship.
She was already a nanny to Milla, so being a nanny to another one shouldn't be that difficult.
-----
She worked hard to get the job and even resorted to using the extensive contacts that she got from being an actress in USSR.
Fortunately and sure enough, Russian associates of hers knew Mr. Creed quite well enough and gave her a great advantage against all nanny candidates that may come. The favor she has given the associate before has now been resolved.
A well-off associate told her about the quirks of the Creed household and helped hype her up for the employment.
For a British person from a country who came up with nannies, an actress like her was far from professional standards.
It all turned out for the better with Mr. Creed hiring her out of all the possible professionals he could turn to.
The employment was settled after their first meeting with the added bonus of Milla being favored by the elderly Creed patriarch.
The best part of it all is the fact that the job isn't even that troublesome and even pays quite well.
How could she reject when she would just watching over someone and even have in-house accommodations that would seriously help their financial situations?
Mr. Creed didn't even hold back with the lure of Hollywood contacts that she could gain from taking care of his grandson.
It was as if he knew her hidden agendas but just wasn't troubled enough to expose it.
As soon as she asked for filming details, he didn't even hold back about the fact that he was working with the director of 'Romancing the Stone' which was making some waves in the theaters in the past months.
If she does well enough at her new job, then visiting a set that is worked on by a certain Director Zemeckis wouldn't just be a pipe dream. She could even take that chance to meet other notable people in Hollywood that could be visiting the production set as well.
------
It was too good to be true to say that the boy named Alex wouldn't cause much ruckus and inconvenience but whatever the case, Galina was all in on it.
She took this new job quite seriously since she had gone through a lot to reach this employment point after all.
The benefits were already dangled in front of her so she didn't have thoughts of backing down and having second thoughts.
If she does exceptionally well and gains the trust of the Creeds, then she and Milla could have a steady line to start with and a stable checkpoint to fall back on when their future ventures would fail.
Galina was all in with favors, associates, and connections after all. It had helped her in the past and there was no denying that it should continue to aid her in the future.
She, along with Milla, would be going all out to better their lives and the first on Galina's agenda was to take care of the little boy, Alex Creed.
