They were all so into the drama!
Chapter 22 New script,
"So you came back just for the Sugar Man thing?" Huo Mingjie threw the script and contract aside and continued to ask.
Huo Chengyin raised his eyebrows and said:
"Second uncle, you look down on me, don't you! How could I have done such a few things after running away for a month?"
After that, Huo Chengyin picked up his briefcase again and pulled out another script from it.
"Hey, new script...good stuff, a series of movies produced by Six Princesses, adapted from a famous IP. Your favorite martial arts script is still the third male lead!"
Hearing this, Huo Mingjie reached out to take the script and said with some surprise:
"seriously?"
In the chain of contempt within the industry, the movie star will always be at the top.
The third male lead in a movie adapted from a famous IP is produced by Sixth Princess whose name begins with the Chinese character "Yang". Logically speaking, Huo Chengyin should not have access to such a script...
When Huo Chengyin saw this, he rubbed his palms in embarrassment and said with a smile:
"Ahem, it sounds like bluffing, but it's actually not that exaggerated..."
"Hey, the movie channel's self-produced digital series of movies requires a low investment. It is said to be a movie, but it is actually shot as a TV series. It only uses digital movie technology and is edited into a movie for screening."
Huo Mingjie opened the script and took a look. The words "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" were clearly written on the script, and he was suddenly enlightened.
Even more than ten years later, this series of movies will still be shown on movie channels several times a year. The images of Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou in it are classic!
Huo Chengyin was also worried that his second uncle would be too disappointed, so he quickly explained:
"Although the investment is small, with the support of the Sixth Princess, all other resources are fully available. Directors, screenwriters, and martial arts instructors are not just found, and the reputation is guaranteed!"
The purpose of the self-made films invested by the Sixth Princess is actually to promote the development of the industry, cultivate film talents, and fill up her own film library.
The quality of these movies is indeed guaranteed. The film series such as "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "Tracing the Line", and "The World of Escorts" all have very good reviews!
Huo Mingjie nodded in approval, and then asked:
"Who should I play, a house full of flowers?"
He has been blind since he was a child, but he has developed an optimistic, tolerant, elegant and calm temperament. The character of Hua Man Lou is so charming that he is the childhood god of many people!
"No, someone else has taken this role... You play Ximen Chuixue!"
Huo Chengyin made some excited gestures and said:
"Ximen Chuixue! A sword coming from the west, a flying fairy from the sky, so handsome!"
Huo Mingjie opened the script and was slightly stunned.
Sword God Ximen Chuixue...
Who played the role in the original version?
Ah, I remembered it. The most powerful actor, He Rundong!
"Ximen Chuixue, no one wants a role like this?" Huo Mingjie couldn't help but ask.
Even if the investment is not large, with the endorsement of the Sixth Princess, it is still such an outstanding character that book fans will never forget. Logically speaking, no one should want it!
Hearing this, Huo Chengyin opened his mouth to explain:
"In this series of movies, Ximen Chuixue's role can only be regarded as the third male lead, and his role is not that large. The director originally planned to use his own connections to invite people to come and make guest appearances."
Having said this, Huo Chengyin could not help but reveal a proud smile on his face and continued:
"Then I asked my friends to stuff them with your photos. It is said that when the editors on the production team saw it, they immediately decided to cast you!"
Huo Mingjie asked suspiciously:
"Is it decided based on just one photo?"
Although he looks handsome, he can't convince the crew just by relying on his photo!
Huo Chengyin blinked and said:
"I used the photo of you smiling..."
Hearing this, Huo Mingjie suddenly became alert.
He knew that his smile was very lethal. Don’t let someone fall in love with you again and want to play with you through unspoken rules...
Huo Chengyin saw his second uncle's vigilance and knew what he was thinking. He quickly waved his hand and explained:
"The products produced by the Sixth Princess are always more well-behaved and don't have too many messy things..."
"There is an article in the original novel called 'The Sword God Smiles'. Ximen Chuixue is as unsmiling as an iceberg, but his smile is warmer than the sun."
"Such a smile must be stunning and unforgettable! So as soon as the screenwriter saw your photo, he immediately decided!"
Huo Mingjie recalled that this scene in the original version seemed to be the actor smiling at the end of the movie. It did not have the amazing feeling of the sword god's smile described in the original work.
To be honest, it's not that Mr. He Rundong has bad acting skills or that he is ugly.
When he plays macho characters like Xiang Yu and Lu Bu, he has to control them with both hands. But the character image of him and Ximen Chuiyuki really doesn’t match up!
She doesn’t look white to begin with, but she still insists on wearing Ximen Chuixue’s iconic white clothes, which looks, well, not very good...
After hearing this, Huo Mingjie finally understood, nodded and continued to ask:
"I understand, when will the filming start over there?"
"Preparations have just begun over there, and the main characters have just been decided. It will probably take some time for other preparations."
Having said this, Huo Mingjie glanced at his second uncle with a headache and said:
"It's really difficult to look like you with this face. If you don't have a suitable role, most crews won't dare to let you in. If you stand still and don't move when you're in the frame, you can steal the starring shot. Who can stand this!" "
Other young actors can step by step from a supporting role to a minor role, but Huo Mingjie cannot.
A supporting character who plays a passerby is more handsome than all the leading actors and supporting characters. Who can bear this?
But with Huo Chengyin's connections, it's not like he could get the role just by contacting him.
"So in the next two or three months, we will have no work for the time being...Do you regret it? Do you want to look at Sugar Man's contract again?"
"To be honest, I think Mr. Cai is very sincere. Why don't we go meet and have a detailed chat..."
Huo Chengyin has been around for so many years and has only accumulated so many connections. It is really impossible for Huo Mingjie to keep filming and get good roles every time.
So even though Huo Chengyin was very reluctant, for the sake of his second uncle's development, he still mentioned the Sugar Man thing again.
Huo Mingjie's attitude remained unchanged, and he said with an indifferent expression:
"That's good. I finally made some money this time. Let's go home during the Chinese New Year. The old man is thinking about us all day long."
It’s not like you can’t get out without signing a candy contract, Huo Mingjie still has confidence in himself!
Huo Chengyin looked at his second uncle seriously, suddenly smiled with relief, nodded and said:
"Okay, then let's return home in fine clothes this time, lest everyone in the town say that I didn't learn well when I took you away..."
