That afternoon, after receiving Jiang Zhe's notice, Ma Chenggong quickly figured out the reason.
In the living room, Lao Ma couldn't hide his excitement after hanging up the phone.
“Boss, this time it’s really pie in the sky!”
Ma Chenggong said in disbelief:
"I heard that this time the cast of "The Shadow" did not follow the usual method, but asked netizens to vote to choose who would play Zhang Danfeng and Yun Lei."
Hearing this, even though Jiang Zhe had made enough mental preparations, he couldn't help but be stunned.
After returning from Nortel, he imagined countless possibilities, but he did not expect such an explanation!
But after coming back to his senses, Jiang Zhe still didn't understand.
"No, even if netizens vote, it shouldn't be me!"
It's not that Jiang Zhe is belittling himself, it's that he knows his own worth.
At least in the mainland entertainment industry, there are many new generation niche players who are better than him.
For example, Li Yapeng, such as Huang Haibing, these are not what he can match at the moment.
Ma Chenggong laughed after hearing this.
Yes, from an objective point of view, Jiang Zhe is indeed not the top one among mainland students.
But sometimes things just suck!
In fact, Mr. Liang Yusheng, the original author of the book, was more interested in letting Lu Yi play the role of Zhang Danfeng.
But when he learned that Huang Haibing was among the candidates for the male lead, Lu Yi, who knew he was losing, asked his agency to give up the vote in order to look good.
Then, as expected.
After Lu Yi gave up on his own initiative, Huang Haibing and Zhao Yanzi were the most popular among netizens.
Among the candidates for the male lead, Jiang Zhe, Wu Jing, Ren Quan and others are next.
As for the heroine Yun Lei, the top five are Fan Bingbing, Han Ha, Xiao Tao Hong and Lin Xingru.
By the way, Jiang Zhe was added last.
If it weren't for the fact that the character of the Devil of the Seven Nights was so outstanding after "A Chinese Ghost Story" was aired, and that the song "Fairy Tale" was very popular on the Internet, it would be difficult for Jiang Zhe to have such a high number of votes.
Of course, it would be useless no matter how high Jiang Zhe's votes were, as the producers were ready to negotiate with the actors based on their rankings.
After all, the crew still wants to save face. Since there is such an online voting, they will accept it no matter how reluctant they are.
At least the crew of "The Shadow" can't do things like Zhang Beard's backbiting and making fools of netizens!
However, before the crew could decide on a candidate, an advertisement from CCTV made Jiang Zhe look bad in front of people all over the country.
Wuliangchun's beautiful and elegant ancient-style advertisement immediately caused Jiang Zhe's online votes to skyrocket, and he unexpectedly surpassed Huang Haibing at the last moment.
When the result came out, it exceeded almost everyone's expectations.
Even the netizens who voted for Jiang Zhe did not expect that they actually voted for him.
For a while, it was the crew of "The Shadow of the Shadow" who was struggling.
After all, from an objective point of view, Huang Haibing is indeed better than Jiang Zhe!
So after much consideration, the crew contacted Huang Haibing first to see what he thought.
If he has a strong desire to star and is willing to make some concessions, the crew will not be able to break their promise!
But it's a pity that Huang Haibing didn't accept the move at all.
After hearing the implication of the crew's words, Huang Haibing accepted the result very simply, which caught the crew a little off guard!
The crew of "The Shadow" had no idea that Huang Haibing had already wanted to transform.
Because he has almost vomited from acting in costume dramas, he is even a little annoyed by the title of "Prince of Costumes" now.
Otherwise, with his current popularity, he could take on four or five costume dramas a year without worrying about not having a leading male role.
Therefore, when he learned that Jiang Zhe had more votes than him, Huang Haibing didn't care at all and even breathed a sigh of relief.
It's okay if it's gone, but it helped him cut off the laziness in his heart.
To be honest, Huang Haibing no longer values TV series or anything like that. He just wants to enter the film industry now. He wants to transform!
So after politely rejecting the crew of "The Shadow", Huang Haibing turned around and took on a modern movie.
Lu Baimin, the male protagonist who starred in the anti-drug movie "Kiss of Death", is an anti-drug policeman!
As a result, this "pie" fell from the sky and landed on Jiang Zhe's head.
After Jiang Zhe listened to Ma Chenggong's vivid narration, he didn't know what to say for a while.
It seems... not that excited anymore!
After all, he regarded this opportunity as a treasure, but others didn't bother to take a second look. Everyone probably had mixed feelings at this time.
However, Ma Chenggong was not so sentimental. Instead, he became more and more excited about the gossip he had learned.
"Boss, you don't know, this time is really evil!"
"It stands to reason that a big project like "The Shadow" shouldn't have to worry about finding actors, but this time it ran into trouble with the leading male and female leads."
I saw Lao Ma mysteriously revealing:
"I heard that the heroine was not Fan Bingbing in the first place!"
"Originally, the female lead was determined to be Zhao Yanzi, who received the most votes, but I didn't expect that people didn't even take notice of her!"
"Zhao Yanzi didn't even bother to act as the heroine who was sent to her door."
"The first step was that the schedule was not suitable, but the second step was to take on an urban romance film "Green Tea". It is said that the male lead is Jiang Wen."
"Tsk, tsk~ You don't even know, I heard that the producer's face turned green with anger this time!"
After hearing this, Jiang Zhe felt much better immediately!
But then again, it’s no wonder that the crew took the initiative to do school work this time.
I guess they are also afraid of rumors of being rejected from acting. If that happens, it will be really embarrassing!
But after the two people who had similar personalities finished chatting about gossip, they got down to business.
"This is my fault, I have neglected my duty!"
Speaking of this negligence, Ma Chenggong looked ashamed and reflected on Jiang Zhe.
However, when Jiang Zhe heard this, he waved his hand and said casually:
"No, you have been busy helping me buy a house these days. If you make a mistake, it will be my fault."
Jiang Zhe is still unable to do things where he takes the credit himself and leaves the blame to his employees.
So we quickly got over this problem and started talking about filming.
"I definitely don't have time to participate in the military training. There is no way the crew can wait for that long."
Jiang Zhe frowned slightly and thought for a while before saying:
"In this case, I will call Jiang Yan later and ask her to lend me her class notes."
"I'll ask you to run more errands and help me make more copies."
If nothing else happens, more than half of the semester will be over when Jiang Zhe leaves the crew of "The Shadow".
If he doesn't find a way to do this, Jiang Zhe's university experience will really be in vain!
Seeing what Jiang Zhe said, Ma Chenggong naturally nodded in agreement without saying anything.
As for the remuneration, neither Ma Chenggong nor Jiang Zheze mentioned it.
After all, it's great to have such an opportunity. Not to mention the salary, Jiang Zhe is willing to act even if the crew doesn't pay him!
He still knows which one is more important: "a full meal" or "a full meal"!
