The reason why Lao Ma is able to do this is actually related to the gossip revealed by Jiang Zhe.
It is said that since the casting announcement of "The Condor", Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan have become the most powerful competitors to play Yang Guo.
Although Zhang Jizhong walked around with a bunch of male celebrities, in the end it was the two of them who formed a "choose 1 from 2" trend.
Whether it is passers-by, netizens, or professional media, they almost all believe that the final candidate will be decided between the two of them.
So when Jiang Zhe was filming on the set, the two of them fought so vigorously!
For example, when he learned that Nie Yuan and Ciwen had signed a contract, even with Huang Xiaoming's emotional intelligence, he couldn't help complaining when being interviewed by reporters:
"I didn't expect that it would be so complicated to choose Yang Guo this time. When I was first notified of the choice, I always thought it was a competition of acting skills, so I worked hard wholeheartedly, but in the end I found that hard work was completely useless!"
"It's not convenient for me to talk about other things... I can only say that there are too many inside stories."
"Starting from the makeup trial on June 25, the crew gave me the most suitable news at that time, but now I have no hope of playing Yang Guo."
At that time, these remarks attracted many interpretations from the entertainment media, but Nie Yuan behaved like a general.
Maybe he thought he had a chance to win.
Not only was he not angry, but he said indifferently that "casting is fair competition and there are no insider tips."
Who wants to know that things in the world are unpredictable!
He had just finished showing off, and within a few days he voluntarily announced his withdrawal from the casting process.
And his attitude immediately reversed, and instead it was his turn to be weird in front of reporters:
"There are indeed a lot of inside stories about this crew. I feel that the casting was not conducted in a fair manner... It is too complicated. This has violated the original intention of filming. The crew no longer has a creative attitude."
"Many of the practices are not normal acting methods and have changed."
"Under such an environment, I feel like I can't play this role well!"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhe immediately looked confused.
"Then what does this have to do with me? Isn't the role still Huang Xiaoming's?"
Seeing this situation, Lao Ma was very proud.
"Didn't Director Ju say earlier that this casting is essentially a struggle between Zhang Dabeard and the investors?"
"I thought at that time that with the bearded method, I would have a greater chance of winning in the end."
"So whoever sides with investors will definitely not be chosen by him!"
Jiang Zhe was even more confused when he heard this: "So?"
After hearing this, Lao Ma smiled and said:
"Well, I just helped Nie Yuan...I told him about Huang Xiaoming's gift of money!"
Seeing what he said, Jiang Zhe finally got a taste of it.
Good guy, I didn’t expect that while he was playing the villain in the movie, Lao Ma actually did the villain’s tricks outside the movie!
If he guessed correctly, even if Nie Yuan didn't expose this matter, Lao Ma would probably spread it on the Internet under the banner of Nie Yuan.
After all, judging from the current situation, there is no better person to take the blame than Nie Yuan!
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhe suddenly frowned and guessed:
"So now Zhang Dabeard wants to use Huang Xiaoming, but he doesn't dare to use it because of his reputation?"
"Yes! That's the situation!"
I saw Lao Ma saying rather proudly:
"Once this kind of thing is publicized and everyone knows it, then unless the bearded man really doesn't want his reputation, he will definitely have scruples in his heart!"
"So when I contacted Zhang Dabeard a few days ago... I took the opportunity to express my position!"
"..."
Seeing Lao Ma's hesitant expression, Jiang Zhe immediately understood that this was the key.
So he immediately spread his hands with a look of helplessness and said:
"Okay, tell me whatever you have to say, can I still blame you?"
Seeing Jiang Zhe say this, Lao Ma breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just told Big Beard that you are willing to star for zero pay. As for how much the crew pays, we don't care!"
Good guy! Jiang Zhe called him a good guy!
Hearing this, Jiang Zhe had to look at Lao Ma with admiration.
Lao Ma was really humbled by his talent as his agent. If he had been appointed in the past, he would have been a red-top businessman!
It has to be said that sometimes the simplest calculations are actually the most effective.
After all, in this way, Jiang Zhe doesn't have to pay any money at all, and all the money comes out of the investors' pockets.
As for Zhang Dabeard, he doesn't care who pays for it, as long as it goes into his pocket!
This is what Zhang Jizhong appreciates most, after all, he needs a clean reputation right now.
So as soon as Lao Ma's plan came out, Zhang Dahu's side was immediately tempted.
But it was Lao Ma's words that finally made Zhang Jizhong make his decision.
During the phone call, Lao Ma directly stated that Ma Zhongjun owed Jiang Zhe a favor and that Ma Zhongjun would definitely not object if he was chosen.
In this way, Zhang Jizhong can completely ease the relationship with the producer and maintain the situation.
After all, if things get too tense, it won't be a good thing for Zhang Jizhong.
From this perspective, Jiang Zhe is indeed the most suitable candidate right now!
So after Zhang Bearded hung up the phone, he just thought about it for a moment and sent the contract to Jiang Zhe.
…
Looking at the contract in front of him, Jiang Zhe was somewhat speechless for a moment.
Really, this casting has nothing to do with auditions at all!
Jiang Zheren hasn't even shown up yet, and the role has already been decided!
But then again, although it is a pity to star in the film for zero pay, after thinking about the subsequent profits, Jiang Zhe feels that it is quite a bargain.
After all, you still have to take a long-term view in the entertainment industry.
You must know that the current Zhang Beard and Jin Yong dramas together represent the top resources in the field of TV dramas.
At least at this stage, Zhang Bearded does look a bit like the "Zhang Yimou" of the TV series!
So looking at the contract in front of him, Jiang Zhe was still a little excited.
And when he opened the contract and saw the remuneration line, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth!
"Good guy~100,000 per episode? The bearded man really thinks highly of me!"
You must know that among domestic actors today, Chen Daoming and Zhao Yanzi, who have the highest salary in TV dramas, are at this price.
Zhang Jizhong's offer is equivalent to directly pushing Jiang Zhe to the top.
According to the current 40-episode script of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", even if Jiang Zhe has only half of the effective scenes, the final total salary is estimated to be no less than 2 million.
If Zhang Dabeard wants to add drama to him, then even 3 million is not impossible!
From this point of view, Jiang Zhe and Zhang Dabeard have the same interests in this drama.
Seeing what Jiang Zhe said, Lao Ma in the driver's seat couldn't help but grin.
This was also the reason why he didn't dare to tell Jiang Zhe just now... he was afraid that he would feel distressed!
Fortunately, Jiang Zhe is not so short-sighted after all.
After complaining for a while, Jiang Zhe signed his name on the contract neatly.
…
So, the next day.
Jiang Zhe, who had just arrived in the capital, had not had time to rest before he was dragged to the cast of the Divine Condor for an audition.
By the way, there was also a young boy named Huo Jianhua who went to the audition together.
But there is no doubt that he was also tricked by Zhang Dabeard to cover.
Because after Jiang Zhe and Huo Jianhua auditioned one after another, Zhang Jizhong actually changed the past practice in the industry and did not let the two go back to wait for notification, but directly announced the final result on the spot.
In his words, Jiang Zhe's audition performance was so good that he didn't need to think about it anymore.
Even before leaving, he expressed unabashed emotion in front of reporters:
"Jiang Zhe is exactly what I imagined Yang Guo to be, both in terms of temperament and acting skills!"
"I know there's been a lot of controversy lately, but that's the end of it."
"I've found the perfect candidate!"
After that, he walked away with his head held high.
Not to mention, Zhang Beard's acting skills are really good.
Seeing his behavior, many reporters really thought that Zhang Jizhong's previous pickiness was all for the sake of art.
So everyone on the spot was as excited as the Chinese New Year. When Jiang Zhe came out, he was immediately surrounded by water.
After all, this kind of plot is really topical!
Just looking at the crowd at the door, Liu Yifei in the nanny car on the roadside was a little dumbfounded.
Jiang Zhe's acting was really that good. Why didn't she feel it just now?
Okay, Jiang Zhe's acting skills seem to be better than the first two, but he's not that good, right?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at her mother with doubtful eyes.
But at this moment, Liu Xiaoli was more curious than Liu Yifei, because she also didn't know how Jiang Zhe did it.
You must know that she transferred 10% of the shares of Red Star House to Zhang Dabeard in exchange for the two roles of Wang Yuyan and Xiao Longnu.
Then why does Jiang Zhe do it? It can’t really be because of your acting skills, right?
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli immediately laughed and shook her head.
…
Not to mention how puzzled Liu Xiaoli was.
When the news that Jiang Zhe captured Yang Guo came out, it immediately became the entertainment headlines that night.
Some people say that he is a talented person who wins with his acting skills, and even excitedly declare that this time it is "acting skills" that defeated "capital".
But some people think that he is a fisherman who "fights with the snipe and the clam to benefit the fisherman"!
Some people even think that Zhang Dabeard chose Jiang Zhe entirely to avoid suspicion.
He just got lucky and got a bargain!
Anyway, I have everything I can say at once!
But no matter how the media interprets it, in the end they can't help but laugh at Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan.
They all ridiculed Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan for losing both sides and taking advantage of Jiang Zhe who was watching the show.
Faced with such a situation, Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan almost became autistic!
Even they themselves feel that they are a bit like clowns in this farce!
They wanted to find out if Jiang Zhe and Zhang Jizhong had any insider trading.
But no matter how much I tried to understand, I found nothing in the end.
After all, Jiang Zhe's game with Zhang Dabeard this time is "futures trading", and the settlement will not be completed until the filming is completed.
So for a while, the two of them stayed behind closed doors, pretending to be ostriches!
At the same time, Fenghui Garden.
After finally dealing with the media, Jiang Zhe was exhausted and collapsed on the sofa.
There is no way, neither too humble nor too arrogant.
To be honest, Jiang Zhe was not as tired as he is now even when filming.
However, after regaining his composure, Jiang Zhe couldn't help but sigh with sincerity:
"I think... if the story behind this casting is filmed, it might be even more exciting than the TV series!"
As soon as this statement came out, Lao Ma immediately believed it.
You must know that this time he was involved in almost the entire process, and his experience was far beyond what those outsiders could compare to.
But it is precisely because of this that Lao Ma becomes more and more interested in the career of an agent.
He suddenly felt that this was what a good agent should do.
And just as the two people were silently summing up their experiences and lessons, the casting controversy brought an unexpected surprise to Jiang Zhe...
