They were all so into the drama!

In the hotel room of the crew, Huo Mingjie was holding his laptop and checking his mailbox.

The emails on the screen are a series of scripts that Huo Chengyin is currently working on.

This is the benefit of opening a studio and maintaining your own independence. Anyway, no matter what script, Huo Mingjie has to read it personally before proceeding...

Huo Chengyin on the other end of the phone was still talking:

"After the Chinese New Year, there will be a production of "Another Dream" in preparation, and there is a role in it that suits you very well. Although it is only the second male lead, considering that this is a Qiong Yao drama, it is still acceptable..."

There are three examples of "Returning the Pearl". The Qiong Yao dramas these days are still famous!

Huo Mingjie just glanced at it and refused:

"Let's forget it, it's not appropriate!"

At most, he had seen some clips of this show in his previous life and had heard about it. It is said that the outlook on life is rotten and bloody. I am afraid that I will be disgusted by this drama.

And the ratings of this drama don’t seem to be particularly popular, which is really unnecessary!

"What about the urban-themed "Struggle" below? It seems that you have never acted in an urban-themed movie. Although it is from the circle of Yanjing, Mr. Cai said that he can help fight for it."

It is said that the entertainment industry is divided into several circles. This is true, but it does not mean that each circle has its own activities.

In the past two years, Sugar Man and Huayi Brothers have been very happy to cooperate. For example, in the recently popular "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio", Sugar Man provided the production team and Huayi Brothers contributed money and investment.

The Huayi brothers were part of Yanjing's circle. The reason why the cheap nephew was able to get in like a fish in water in Yanjing was all because of this connection in the beginning.

Huo Mingjie looked at the rough plot summary sent in the mailbox, his brows moved slightly, and he was more impressed by this movie.

The ratings of this drama are very good, but it is a pity that it is another TV drama with shattered views. It will be the kind of drama that will be chased and scolded by netizens more than ten years later!

Huo Mingjie hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Look at others first, and then try if there is nothing else suitable."

Although this three-dimensional movie is also not that good, it still has good ratings and can be praised by people. If there is no more suitable choice, I can just grit my teeth and accept it.

Regarding his second uncle's pickiness, Huo Chengyin said helplessly:

"These two are the ones I'm most optimistic about, and there are a few others with good scripts. But either the filming team is unreliable, or the investment is too small and I can't afford to hire you..."

With the popularity of "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", Huo Mingjie's net worth immediately rose.

If we follow the most popular salary calculation method these days, Huo Mingjie's external quotation for each episode is about 30,000.

If he acted in thirty episodes, his salary would be nearly one million.

And "The Legend of Xue Rengui" and "The Legend of White Snake", which are already big investments, only cost more than 10 million.

It's not ten years from now. Actors' remuneration is still relatively normal as a proportion of the total investment, and ordinary small film crews can no longer afford Huo Mingjie!

Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Huo Mingjie continued to look through the emails and said nonchalantly:

"It doesn't matter whether the salary is high or low. Just give me a discount privately and don't make it public!"

When they were filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy One", the two Tianxian girls and Brother Hu were only paid a few thousand yuan per episode.

If you can get a small-budget TV series with explosive ratings, then the salary is nothing.

Huo Chengyin felt that his second uncle was right, but he still couldn't help but said with regret:

"Actually, the one I'm most optimistic about is "New Shanghai". Unfortunately, our current reputation and background are not as good as Huang Xiaoming's. Otherwise, we can still try to fight for it..."

Huo Mingjie didn't care and comforted him a few words, and then his eyes happened to notice one of the characters.

""Legend of Chu Liuxiang" - Monk Wuhua"

Huo Mingjie's heart moved slightly and he muttered subconsciously:

""The Legend of Chu Liuxiang"?"

Huo Chengyin on the other end of the phone heard the script mentioned by his second uncle, thought about it, and then suddenly said:

"Oh, that Chu Liuxiang! The IP is not bad, and so is the production team. And they took the initiative to contact us after seeing the photos of monks you took in "The Legend of White Snake"..."

Huo Mingjie was previously on the set of "The Legend of White Snake", and there was a scene where he was dressed as a monk.

The appearance is bright and handsome, and there is a hint of holy asceticism, which is very amazing. Zhao Huixia, who is in charge of Huo Mingjie's online blog, took a few photos and posted them online, which attracted a lot of netizens to lick the screen.

The crew of "Chu Liuxiang" probably saw these photos and took the initiative to find them.

On the other end of the phone, Huo Chengyin continued:

"It's just that this character is not very good. He is just a villain with an average role. He can barely be considered the second male lead..."

"It was actually acceptable before, so I didn't refuse it directly. But now that "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" is on the air, and you, the second uncle, have become famous, this role is not suitable, so I didn't mention it."

Huo Mingjie was deeply impressed by "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang". Although the plot is messy, it is still well-produced and the ratings seem to be okay.

The villain in it, Monk Wuhua, really left a deep impression on people.

It's just that this drama is not the Qiong Yao drama that has been regarded as a golden signature in the past two years, and it is not a positive role. With Huo Mingjie's current reputation and image, it is really not suitable...

After thinking for a moment, Huo Mingjie said:

"Go and talk to the other party and see if you can get the role of Chu Liuxiang!"

If you get "Chu Liuxiang", it would be acceptable. If Huo Mingjie plays a martial arts role like this, he might even be able to develop some useful skills.

The other characters in this drama are all very good, but the protagonist Chu Liuxiang is not suitable.

In fact, although that person is from an idol drama, his acting skills in this drama are still very good. It's just that he was fat at that time, and his image was not suitable for the role of "Xiang Shuai Chu Liuxiang".

I heard that when this drama was being filmed, the crew director was replaced directly.

The original director complained online after he ran away, saying that no matter how hard he shot, he couldn't make the director look more handsome. Due to the contract, he couldn't replace the director, so he simply went on strike.

You know, this is the director who, more than ten years later, can tolerate the angel baby using a body double to change his face for filming!

It can only be said that the bottom line that this director insists on in the end is the appearance of the protagonist...

My second uncle, indeed, still likes this kind of martial arts and fairy tale dramas.

Huo Chengyin thought this in his heart and continued:

"Okay, I'll take care of this!"

In fact, after doing some calculations, of the two movies he is more optimistic about, "Another Dream" only has the second male lead, and "Struggle" may not get the lead male role.

On the contrary, for "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", the drama team took the initiative to contact it, so the possibility is higher.
