Chapter 621 Hu Ge I Will Never Play This Kind of Role Again!

December 8, 2012.

Shanghai, Tangren Film and Television Company Headquarters Building.

Tangren Film and Television's pillar and leading male star Hu Ge came to the company early this morning.

He was a little confused, wondering why President Cai would notify him to come to the company.

At the same time, he was a little depressed.

Hu Ge's development has not been very good in recent years.

Back then, he participated in Wu Yuan's first Chinese commercial film "Your Name" as soon as he debuted, and he also played the leading role.

In those days, domestic movies that broke the 100 million box office were rare, and only Zhang Yimou's "Hero" successfully broke 300 million.

The box office of "Your Name" not only broke the domestic box office record, but also won the highest box office record for Chinese films in various Asian countries!

Even now, "Your Name" is still the highest box office record holder for Chinese films in Japan!

This achievement is simply a legend!

Logically speaking, Hu Ge, who had such a perfect debut performance, should have turned on the unparalleled mode in the domestic entertainment industry and cut melons and vegetables all the way.

But a car accident interrupted his acting career.

After a full two years of rest, Hu Ge returned to the stage.

During his car accident, the company helped Hu Ge a lot, saving him at all costs and giving Hu Ge full support both physically and mentally.

After returning to the stage, he also gave back to the company with all his strength, taking on a series of self-made dramas of the company.

TV series such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", "Myth", "Bitter Coffee", and "Shangri-La" were all produced by Tangren.

These TV series can't be said to be bad, and several of them have become his masterpieces and popular TV series at the national level.

But Hu Ge was a movie star at the beginning, and he once held the domestic movie box office record!

During this period, he did not try to make movies.

Whether it was a movie script handed over from outside or a movie invested by Tangren itself, Hu Ge had filmed it.

But the final box office results can only be said to be unbearable.

The Tangren platform is really too small, and Hu Ge himself does not have much room to display his talents.

Just like Liu Yifei who worked alone in the original time and space, the scripts that Hu Ge could access were not well-made and excellent.

Most of these good scripts were digested within companies such as Huayi, Guangying Times, Xiaoma Pentium, and Guangguang.

They may give some unimportant roles or important supporting roles to outsiders, but they will never give the leading roles to actors signed by Tangren.

Using their own good scripts to promote actors from other companies, what kind of charity is this?

Hu Ge, who is deeply tied to Tangren, is destined to have no access to good resources in the film industry.

This is the current situation in the entertainment industry. At present, when Internet companies have not yet entered the market, all good resources are in the hands of top companies.

So he can only hang around in the field of TV dramas.

After hanging around for a few years, his TV dramas have indeed become more and more popular, but he is getting further and further away from movies.

In the past two years, under the arrangement of the company, he has even tried to release music albums and go the singer route.

Not to mention, the songs he sang in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" are quite popular.

As for the TV series route, as he gets older, Hu Ge is not willing to continue to play ancient idols and wants to transform.

In the past two years, he has filmed many urban dramas, such as "Modern New Humans" and "Invincible Masters", which are all his transformation works.

Unfortunately, the effect was very unsuccessful. The performance of the two TV series was very poor, and Tangren lost a lot of money for this.

So, when he was called to the company by President Cai today, Hu Ge thought in his heart that President Cai wanted to persuade him not to consider transformation and continue to film the company's costume idol dramas.

It has to be admitted that in the field of costume idol dramas, especially those with some fairy elements, Tangren is indeed the first in China, and it is popular no matter how it is filmed.

Previously, the company had bought the IP of the "Xuanyuan Sword" game series, intending to replicate the success of the "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" series and make this kind of game-adapted TV series again.

It was under the persuasion of Mr. Cai that Hu Ge went back to film "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky", but he strongly refused to play the male lead. In the end, he played Yuwen Tuo, who was both good and evil, and played two roles by himself, which was considered a breakthrough.

At that time, he told Mr. Cai that this was his last time to film a costume idol drama for the company, and he would never film such a costume idol drama for the company again.

He is no longer the Hu Ge who was in his early twenties. It is really not suitable for him to play such a costume idol drama for teenagers.

But today, Mr. Cai asked Hu Ge to meet with the company again.

This made Hu Ge feel a shadow in his heart.

Is the company going to make a new fairy-tale ancient idol TV series?

The broadcast effect of "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky" was indeed not as good as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", which made many senior executives of the company miss the time when Hu Ge took the lead.

It can be said that Hu Ge is the finale magic weapon of Tangren.

"No matter how much you persuade me this time, I won't agree to it again!" Hu Ge made up his mind in his heart, walked into the elevator with a heavy face, and went up to the eighth floor.

Cai Yinong's office is on the eighth floor.

After a while, he came to the door of Cai Yinong's office.

Given his relationship with Cai Yinong, there was no need for those empty communications. After knocking on the door to remind him, Hu Ge opened the door and walked in.

However, unlike what he saw, there were other people in Cai Yinong's office.

A middle-aged elite in a suit, with a little baldness on his head, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, was sitting opposite Cai Yinong in the sofa area and drinking tea.

"Xiao Hu, you're here." Seeing Hu Ge's arrival, Cai Yinong immediately showed a bright smile on his face and waved to him repeatedly.

Hu Ge's face flashed with doubt, and he walked over quickly: "Mr. Cai."

"Who is this?"

"Come, let me introduce you." Cai Yinong took Hu Ge's arm and introduced him: "This is Director Liu from Light and Shadow Times."

"Director Liu is the director of the film production department of Light and Shadow Times. This time he came to our Tangren to discuss cooperation."

"Cooperation?" Hu Ge was stunned: "Are we going to cooperate with Light and Shadow Times to produce movies?"

In Hu Ge's impression, Light and Shadow Times rarely cooperates with other companies to produce movies. Even if there is cooperation, it is generally with state-owned enterprises such as China Film and Shanghai Film, or top film production companies such as Guangguang and Huayi.

Tangren is not at this level, right?

"Of course not." As expected, Cai Yinong shook his head, with a self-deprecating look on his face. Tangren could cooperate with Guangying Times in the field of TV series before, but now even this is impossible.

"Director Liu is here to cooperate with you."

"To be precise, he is inviting you to participate in Guangying Times' new movie!" (End of this chapter)
