They were all so into the drama!

Chapter 244 The first time I encountered a setback because of this handsome face...

After returning to the studio in Yanjing, the uncle and nephew entered the office together.

With the development of today's personal studios, the temporarily rented office space seems a bit small.

Huo Chengyin's separate office also serves as a conference room, archives, storage room and other functions.

The originally small place was now piled with a lot of documents, office supplies, and even ladders and tools for maintenance, making it look like a mess.

Huo Mingjie walked in, but found that he didn't even have a place to do anything.

However, he didn't mind it and sat down on the pile of documents beside him casually.

When Huo Chengyin saw this, he pointed at the file bags under his buttocks and said with a smile:

"It just so happens that these are the scripts that have been submitted recently."

"I've been too busy in the past two months. I can only take a quick glance and don't have time to sift through it carefully. I think you, the second uncle, have a better vision, so you might as well do it yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Mingjie stood up immediately, turned around and glanced at the pile of scripts contained in the file bag.

Sure enough, as his reputation grew, the number of scripts he received unsolicited was a bit scary.

"I roughly divided them according to the themes. This part is about urban life dramas, and this part is about idol love..."

Huo Mingjie pointed to the highest piled part just sitting under his butt and asked:

"What about this?"

"Martial Arts!"

Having said this, Huo Chengyin looked slightly serious and continued:

"To be honest, I feel that our hype was a little too intense before. Now, basically 90% of those who come to us are martial arts characters."

Huo Mingjie's sword dance video was extremely popular on the Internet. Some time ago, he even used the trick of "taking advantage of foreign countries" to create a little hype.

The effect is very good, but it seems to have left a stereotype impression on people, making people think that Huo Mingjie is suitable for playing martial arts in ancient costumes...

Huo Mingjie raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

This is a bit like Hu Jun. After playing Xiao Feng, he directly changed from a literary actor to a martial arts star. It doesn't matter whether he can fight or not, but everyone thinks he can fight anyway...

To be honest, from the perspective of maximizing the use of golden fingers, Huo Mingjie does not reject this stereotype.

But in terms of career development, an actor whose image has been solidified will be extremely detrimental to his future acting career!

"So I suggest that for your next role, uncle, you should try not to choose costume dramas..."

Huo Mingjie weighed it in his mind and nodded:

"Try your best...but actually I look more at the quality of the script, and then I consider image issues."

The film and television industry in Mainland China is quite prosperous these days. After filming many dramas, not only can you gain fame, but you can also provide for your retirement!

As for the issue of my own image, the worst I can do is wait until the investment income from the other side of the ocean comes in, and then I can write a script to shoot, and then I can play any role.

Huo Chengyin nodded in approval.

The crew of "Chu Liuxiang" probably only has less than two months of filming left, so it's time to think about the next role.

I happened to be here today, so Huo Mingjie didn't leave in a hurry, so he just started picking through the pile of scripts.

Among these scripts, two are really familiar.

"Huan Hua Xi Sword" was also written by Gu Long, but the second male lead was invited.

Huo Mingjie didn't have a deep impression in his mind. He only remembered the convulsive acting skills of the male protagonist Xie Tingfeng. Based on this vague impression, I know that this drama is not popular.

Jin Yong's "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain" was directed by Fatty Wang who went north to the mainland. Huo Mingjie has also seen this film, but he only remembers that the styling in this film is indescribable, and the response was also mediocre.

What followed were scripts that were even less impressive to him and not interesting enough.

There are even fewer scripts in other categories, and there are even fewer good scripts.

In fact, this situation is the norm in the industry. With so many TV series being filmed every year, how many can be produced that can be a big hit?

Huo Mingjie twisted his stiff neck, looked up at Huo Chengyin, and asked:

"Is it all here?"

"Here are all the books that were handed over unsolicited!"

"In that circle, among the crew who are preparing to start filming recently, is there any role that you can fight for?"

Hearing this, Huo Chengyin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied:

"Yes, yes..."

"Yangma is preparing several dramas, including "The Legend of Bruce Lee" from the modern Republic of China, "The Magic Phone" from modern science fiction, and "The Legend of Bruce Lee."

Good guy, this is considered a masterpiece!

Needless to say, "Crossing Guandong" and "Magic Phone". One is a well-deserved high-quality drama, and the other is a childhood memory that has gained great reputation.

And that "The Legend of Bruce Lee" directly broke Yangma's ratings record after it was broadcast and became the ratings champion!

Huo Mingjie's eyes lit up and he immediately asked:

"Can you fight for it?"

It doesn’t matter, he doesn’t choose!

He and Yang Ma have cooperated very harmoniously several times, and their relationship is considered close. This is definitely worth giving it a try.

Hearing this, Huo Chengyin stared at his second uncle's exaggeratedly handsome face for a while, then he sighed helplessly and said:

"I tried, but unfortunately I was declined..."

"The protagonist of "Magic Phone" is an ordinary young man, which does not match your image."

The protagonist Lu Xiaoqian is a young loser, and there is also a dog-licking plot in the plot. Although his ex-girlfriend ended up with Uncle Jiao, if you ask Huo Mingjie to act in this role, no one will think it is ridiculous!

"The same reason applies to "Crossing Guandong". I think your image doesn't match."

This is why Huo Mingjie left such a deep impression on people before. When people mention him, they think of many images with outstanding costumes in ancient costumes. The showrunners probably felt that Huo Mingjie was not "down-to-earth" enough and was too different from the overall style of the show!

"Also, in "The Legend of Bruce Lee," people didn't think your image was inappropriate. But they couldn't resist and found an actor who really looked like Bruce Lee."

In fact, Huo Mingjie relied on the popularity of the sword dance video spread on the Internet, so it is not that he couldn't take advantage of the situation to play Bruce Lee.

It's a pity that Bruce Lee, the master of martial arts, has an image left in the world, and his image has penetrated deeply into the hearts of the Chinese people.

When choosing characters, the showrunners naturally try to pay attention to similarities in appearance, which is completely understandable...

Speaking of this, Huo Chengyin said in a deep voice:

"That's why I just said that your current image has become somewhat solidified, and it has even affected your future roles..."

No wonder Huo Chengyin didn't mention these three scripts before.

Huo Mingjie subconsciously reached out and touched his face, feeling a little nervous.

Ever since he was a child, he never thought that one day he would encounter setbacks because of this handsome face...
