Chapter 55: It’s not in my hands yet
Yang Guo determines the angle. Some people are happy, while others are unhappy.
Nie Yuan and Huang Xiaoming are not happy.
Both of them privately scolded the bearded man for not working after receiving the money!
As for Zhang Jizhong, he has his own plans.
The day after the casting was announced, Zhang Jizhong sent people to withdraw 800,000 yuan and 1.3 million yuan from Nie and Huang respectively.
The two had previously given Zhang Jizhong 1 million and 1.5 million respectively.
He took the remaining 400,000 without any guilt.
How can a newcomer who has only acted in one drama and it has not yet been broadcasted be able to defeat all opponents and get the much-anticipated Yang Guo?
To say that he is a purple star descending from the sky is nonsense.
While Zhang Yuanjun was happy, he was also very puzzled. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out why Zhang Jizhong chose him.
Good image? But Zhang Jizhong doesn’t like his face that is too fair and handsome.
Is your acting skills good? For a junior student, no matter how good your acting skills are, how much better can you get?
Does it matter? But I didn’t go through the back door.
Is it really just good luck?
Zhang Yuanjun couldn't figure out the reason even if he tried hard. In the end, he could only comfort himself. It was really his strength and luck that allowed him to defeat Yang Guo.
Let us turn the time back to a month ago, when Zhang Yuanjun went home for the summer vacation.
When my father went to Singapore on a business trip, it was actually not for the family's hotel business, but for his Yang Guo.
My father gave Zhang Jizhong a letter of intent to purchase Channel 8 from Singapore Mediacorp.
This is a gift that Zhang Jizhong and the investors of "The Condor" cannot refuse.
Why is "The Condor" so hyped?
Isn’t it just to sell the film better?
Singaporean audiences like costumed martial arts movies very much, but it’s strange that they have homemade dramas, but they haven’t broadcast any Jin Yong dramas before.
Now, Father Zhang has given such a great gift, which will greatly help "The Condor" to open up overseas markets.
Zhang's father also promised verbally that if the broadcast in Singapore does well, he will help the crew introduce film buyers from Malay and Thailand.
Father Zhang has many entrepreneurial friends in the Chinese community in Southeast Asia.
It’s the 21st century, no one uses money to get through, so use your brain.
In the past, using cash to conquer Wang Jing was the most low-end and direct way.
It can be said that Yang Guo's casting has ended since MediaCorp's purchase letter of intent was placed on Zhang Jizhong's desk.
Godfather Xu opened the way for Liu Yifei, but I am not allowed to use the back door for my own son?
Although the Zhang family's parents don't understand the entertainment industry, they can understand the production and broadcasting mechanism of TV series by asking friends at the TV station.
If you have a product, you have to sell it. I will help you sell the product to Singapore. What’s wrong with changing your son’s role?
Zhang Yuanjun will not know about the above until the leaders of Mediacorp Channel 8 come to visit the crew four months later.
At this time, Zhang Yuanjun was still immersed in the joy of winning Yang Guo. He called home to announce the good news. His parents were also happy for him and told him to perform well.
Although he was happy, there was one thing Zhang Yuanjun didn't understand: "Why is your salary 8,000, while I only get 5,000."
For a national drama like "The Condor" that is destined to be a hit, many actors are eager to squeeze in and are willing to pay for it. The crew will definitely try their best to lower the actors' remuneration.
Liu Yifei took a sip of tea and said: "My single episode salary is high, but the total salary is not as much as yours. I only have 300,000 yuan, and you have 400,000 yuan."
Zhang Yuanjun is not as famous as Liu Yifei, but Yang Guo has more roles than Xiao Longnu, so his single episode salary is not as much as Liu Yifei's, but his total salary is higher than hers.
After saying this, Zhang Yuanjun felt much more comfortable.
However, Zhang Yuanjun will not know that this is just the beginning. For a long time in the future, his salary will always lag behind Liu Yifei.
So much so that Liu Yifei later said that she had kept Zhang Yuanjun.
"I think you two are almost ready." Wang Jinsong, the head teacher, spoke. Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu were surrounded by two students in his class. He was really happy and made an exception to accept the students' banquet. "Look at Yawen and Luo Jin.
, it’s so sour that you’re still fighting over the tens of thousands of dollars in remuneration.”
Isn't that right? All the male students in the class are jealous of Zhang Yuanjun.
It can’t be said to be jealousy or hatred.
"No, no, no," Luo Jin yelled, "You can't kill us with just one meal."
"Then what do you want?" Zhang Yuanjun smiled.
"You're going to cover all our midnight snacks for this month." Zhu Yawen took the opportunity to attack the rich.
Zhang Yuanjun said: "That's not right. I chose Yang Guo, and Yifei also chose Xiao Longnu. Why don't you defeat her?"
Liu Yifei said: "I have no money, all my money is with my mother."
"That's right." Everyone cheered.
"Okay, I'll take care of your midnight snacks this month." Zhang Yuanjun patted his chest generously and agreed, "One bucket of instant noodles every night."
"That's all? I'm sending the beggars away!"
"Then add a sausage, that's my bottom line."
"No," Lu Fang said, "I have to add a braised egg."
"You will choke to death after eating so much tonight." Zhang Yuanjun laughed.
"Dude, you have a long body and can eat."
"You're already 26! You're still growing?!"
"Don't worry about it." Zhu Yawen answered.
"Okay! I'll cover it!"
"Come on, come and give Mr. Zhang a drink."
The box was filled with joyful play and laughter.
After signing the contract with the crew, Zhang and Liu became completely busy.
According to the contract, Zhang and Liu will undergo one month of physical and action training in Beijing until the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starts in mid-October.
Regarding the selection of Zhang and Liu, the crew said: "Although there are indeed some unsatisfactory aspects between the two, after discussions between the investors and the person in charge of the production, they all believed that under the current circumstances, it is necessary to find out
It is difficult to find a more suitable combination than two people, so I have no choice but to choose this result."
When interviewed by reporters, Liu Yifei said that she did not know beforehand that she would be able to play the role of Little Dragon Girl, and she would strive not to disappoint the audience.
Zhang Yuanjun's words were "very unexpected" and "very stressful".
The crew announced that all the cast members will officially meet the public when filming starts. Jin Yong will attend a cultural event in Sichuan Province at the end of this month and will not be able to attend the opening ceremony in October. Therefore, at the end of this month, the crew plans to arrange for Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei to attend the filming in advance.
Entering Sichuan to meet Jin Yong.
At the same time, in order to stabilize the controversy over the casting, the crew specifically stated that the crew had previously shown the audition video of the two to Jin Yong. "Mr. Jin is very satisfied with the image, temperament and acting skills of the two, and thinks they can perform what he wants."
I want 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'."
Zhang Yuanjun spent two days dubbing Gui Hai Yida, and then joined the group to train with Liu Yifei.
The two had to take leave from school, but fortunately they were already in their junior year, and the college no longer cared much about students delaying their classes and asking for leave to go out for filming.
Wang Jinsong happily granted him a month's leave.
"Come to my place to renew your vacation after the computer is turned on."
This is Zhang Yuanjun’s first time acting with Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei is still bitter about Zhang Yuanjun’s rejection of Li Xiaoyao last year.
"How about it, haven't you fallen into my hands? You still have to act with me." On the first day of training, Liu Yifei proudly declared war on Zhang Yuanjun and even raised her eyebrows.
Chapter completed!
