They are all too deep into the drama!

Chapter 607 “Sword God Limited” returns!
In the second half of last year, Huo Mingjie seemed to be very busy, running around everywhere, and even went to the Cherry Blossom Country twice.

But in fact, if you really count it, he hasn't appeared in the public eye in any film or television works for several months since the summer movie "Animal Management Bureau" and the TV series "The Qin Empire: Splitting".

Fortunately, Huo Mingjie's extremely high popularity and fame no longer require frequent film and television works to maintain, and he only needs to post on Weibo on a daily basis.

When it comes to Weibo, the things that usually appear on the hot searches are basically just trivial matters.

In the past six months, Huo Mingjie's account has occasionally been on the hot search list with just a few photos, and he has appeared in front of netizens.

But for the majority of passers-by fans and the general public, Huo Mingjie's name has indeed not appeared as frequently as before in the past six months.

And with the broadcast of CCTV's opening drama of the year "The Myth", Huo Mingjie, who made a guest appearance in the drama, finally appeared on TV screens again!
The drama "The Myth" indeed has all the elements to become a hit.

Adapted from the highly acclaimed film "The Myth", it is a groundbreaking "time travel" theme, starring the popular young actor Hu Ge. It was booked by CCTV as the opening drama of the year before filming began, and it is full of topics.

Now there is another addition, Huo Mingjie’s friendly guest appearance.

All these factors led to the show's ratings reaching 3.3% on the first day of its broadcast.

Don’t think that this rating figure is not high. The ratings of Huo Mingjie’s idol drama in the past two years were easily four or five points, and the highest rating even exceeded ten.

But now, it can be said that "times have changed", the ratings are completely different from before.

After all, it has been 10 years now, smartphones have become widely popular, and major online playback platforms have become increasingly popular.

LeTV, which Huo Mingjie originally invested in, has now launched its listing plan.

The next few years will be the era of massive capital investment and the rise of online dramas...

The rise of this online platform has naturally led to the ratings of major TV dramas not being as good as before.

Even in a few years, any drama with a viewership rating of over 1 will be considered a hit!

The topic has gone a bit off topic, but anyway, the TV series "The Myth" is indeed a hit right now.

Although the character of the protagonist of this drama is such that even the lead actor Hu Ge admitted that he doesn’t like him, he has even been criticized for more than ten years.

But thanks to the fact that the Internet is not as developed as it will be in the future, most of those who are willing to speak out and participate in discussions online are young people and students.

Most people in this group are still too young and habitually follow the camera to put themselves in the protagonist’s perspective, not noticing anything is wrong.

As for adults who can react and figure out something is wrong, many of them watch TV series just for fun, and they would not waste their time on the Internet just for a TV series...

So now no one has started to complain about this TV series. Although the overall evaluation of the TV series is not very good, it is not to the point where everyone is condemning it.

The first eight episodes of the TV series are actually quite good, with a smooth plot and a good rhythm. Although the characters that appear one by one may not necessarily conform to the historical images, they are all very vivid.

The audience's focus is also on the female character "Su Su", who has a very good character image.

This kind of female character with an outstanding role setting has always attracted the audience!

With Su Su's death from illness, discussions about the TV series "The Myth" also sparked discussions on the Internet for the first time.

There were constant calls on the Internet for sending razor blades to the crew.

But at the same time, "Cui Wenzi" played by Huo Mingjie finally appeared!
As a humanoid plug-in for the protagonist "Yi Xiaochuan", the character "Cui Wenzi" has a bit of a deus ex machina feel.

He appears in time when the protagonist is sick and about to die.

She was wearing a loose grey robe that looked unkempt, with a wine pot hanging around her waist. She had a wooden hairpin inserted diagonally on her head, and her hair was messy, with a few strands of hair scattered around and moving in the wind.

This sloppy and shabby look immediately becomes dazzling against the backdrop of Huo Mingjie's stunning looks!

Her clothes swayed as she walked, and her beautiful and perfect eyes were deep and peaceful. She exuded a detached temperament and indifference, as if she could tolerate all the troubles in the world, showing the demeanor of an unworldly master!
For fans, it has been a long time since they have seen Huo Mingjie in ancient costumes. And this is also the first time Huo Mingjie plays the role of a hermit.

A different Huo Mingjie always makes people's eyes light up!
Therefore, the reactions of fans and even passers-by to this were not small.

On the hot searches on Weibo, entries related to "Cui Wenzi's appearance" successfully dispersed netizens' resentment over the death of the character Su Su.

This also made the public relations team of "Myth" breathe a sigh of relief.

Then the TV series continued to be aired. At first, the public was not satisfied with Bai Zhuo who played the role of "Princess Yu Shu", but she changed the original views of a large part of the audience with her amazing performance in the TV series!
As the plot developed later, the heroine was sent to the Qin Palace by Yi Xiaochuan himself, which made the audience feel depressed.

Normally under such circumstances, a group of extremely dissatisfied viewers would emerge on the Internet again and stand up.

But I have to say that it was a very wise decision for the crew to find a way to invite Huo Mingjie to make a friendly guest appearance!

Because at this time, Huo Mingjie's guest appearance as "Cui Wenzi" appeared again, accompanying the protagonist "Yi Xiaochuan" in the city of Xianyang, getting drunk and making friends with wine.

In this plot, the protagonist "Yi Xiaochuan" was drunk and playing with swords, and was noticed by the Qin Shi Huang who was incognito and granted an official position to guard the palace gate.

But after Huo Mingjie made a cameo appearance, this scene was directly changed.

Huo Mingjie first became famous because of the sword-dancing video he posted on the Internet, which even spread abroad.

Since they met by such a coincidence this time, the director of the crew must let him show off his skills!

So in this scene, the one who was originally responsible for showing off was the protagonist "Yi Xiaochuan", but now it has become Huo Mingjie's version of "Cui Wenzi".

In the bamboo forest, "Cui Wenzi" drunkenly threw the wine jug in his hand, jumped up, drew the long sword beside him, and staggered forward.

The long sword is waving, the silver light is flashing, and the bamboo leaves are scattered, adding to the artistic conception.

Sometimes the tip of the sword points to the sky, as if to compete with the rising sun. Sometimes it hangs down, like a sleeping dragon, waiting for the moment to wake up.

The drunken sword swing was not chaotic, but rather filled with an intoxicating graceful charm.

Every swing of the sword was accompanied by the vibration of the air and the rustling of bamboo leaves, as if the entire bamboo forest had been awakened.

His body is swaying, as if he is drunk but not drunk. His sword moves are unique and beautiful, and so harmonious that they seem to blend into everything around him!
This scene is less than two minutes long, but the crew filmed it for more than two hours.

The main reason is that Hu Ge, who was learning sword skills at the side, was really unbearable compared to Huo Mingjie's movements. His fighting scenes in the previous dramas were actually quite remarkable, but when he met Huo Mingjie, who was using a sword, he was not an opponent of the same level at all...

Now it seems that those two hours of filming were a waste of time.

Because in the officially broadcast version, Brother Hu’s shots were simply not edited out, leaving only Huo Mingjie’s figure!
Anyway, the First Emperor was impressed by the two men's noble conduct and took the initiative to invite them to be officials.

The reason why "Yi Xiaochuan" was directly given the important task of guarding the palace gate was also because of the trusted minister Meng Tian, ​​proving that the protagonist was actually the lost bloodline of the Meng family.

Who is being cool in this episode? It has almost no impact on the plot...

But for the audience and Huo Mingjie's fans, the experience is different!

Random entries and titles such as "Huo Mingjie, the Sword God, Returns", "Cui Wenzi's Drunken Swordsman", and "The No. 1 Swordsman in Domestic Entertainment" began to appear on Weibo's hot search lists and major social platforms.

"Oh my god, it's like a dream back to those days!"

"It's really emotional. When I first watched that video, I was still a little boy. Now when I see Huo Mingjie picking up the sword again, I'm already a mother of two children."

"Does anyone still remember the sword god Xu Xian who was an expert in both medicine and martial arts, who destroyed Jinshan Temple with one sword and was invincible in Suzhou and Hangzhou..."

"I, I, I remember!"

"In fact, I was Fahai's golden bowl back then. I followed him to subdue the blue and white snakes, but I didn't expect it to be split into pieces by Xu Xian's sword."

"I am Leifeng Pagoda. I testify that everything said upstairs is true. Xu Xian even split me in half from top to bottom with one sword, wuwuwu..."

"? What on earth are you talking about? Am I watching a fake Legend of the White Snake?"

"Hahaha, actually it's just a joke by netizens. They're talking about Huo Mingjie, who filmed a very nice sword dance video when he was on the set of The Legend of White Snake."

"Just beautiful? That's pretty stunning!"

"It's more than stunning. It's something I'll never forget!"

"After watching that video, I finally had a concrete idea of ​​what 'One sword dance moves all directions' means!"

"The spectators are like the mountains in dejection, the sky and earth are low and high for a long time. It is as swift as Yi shooting down the nine suns, and as agile as the emperors riding dragons. It comes like thunder and ends like the clear light of the sea..."

"Huo Mingjie's video has even spread abroad and is now in the top ten of the playlist of the largest video website!"

"When I was studying abroad, some foreign classmates came to me and asked me if I knew kung fu. I said that was all from the movies, and then they used this video to accuse me of lying to them..."

"That's why I was wondering why Huo Mingjie always gets good roles in Hollywood. It turns out it's because of this!"

……

Not only the fans, but even passers-by are very fond of Huo Mingjie's "Sword God Limited" return.

Even the sword dance video from the set of "The Legend of White Snake" was dug up by netizens again.

The "Sword God Xu Xian" meme that Huo Mingjie intentionally created back then has been passed down to this day just as he had envisioned.

People on the Internet never get tired of this. Occasionally, there are people who don’t understand what they are talking about, and there will also be enthusiastic netizens who explain the origin of the meme to them.

The TV series "The Myth", which was about to be criticized by netizens because of its frustrating plot, escaped criticism again thanks to Huo Mingjie.

There were occasional voices of dissatisfaction, but they did not immediately become large-scale.

It is likely that only when the popularity brought by Huo Mingjie fades and the public's attention returns to the TV series itself, people will gradually figure out that something is wrong.

However, it looks like the show should be able to be broadcast smoothly and its ratings will not be affected for the time being.

In fact, Huo Mingjie seems to be guilty. Because of his guest appearance, a group of viewers have been attracted to watch the show.

I wonder if someone will also vent their anger on Huo Mingjie when Yi Xiaochuan is scolded more than a decade later...

Therefore, the crew of "The Myth" and Emperor Entertainment Group's Mr. Yang should really give Huo Mingjie a red envelope to express their gratitude!

At the same time, Green Shade Media also planned to take advantage of this wave of popularity and began to take action.

After almost half a year, the TV series "The Beauty Inside" starring Huo Mingjie has completed post-production and is ready to be broadcast.

In fact, the movie version is almost done, and it might have been released during the Spring Festival.

This year's Spring Festival happened to coincide with Valentine's Day, which was why the fairy girl insisted on running to Huo Mingjie to spend the holiday with him.

This kind of time is actually quite suitable for the release of a love-themed movie.

But every year during the Spring Festival, comedy films always dominate the market.

After all, this was Huo Mingjie's first directorial work, and the company didn't dare to take any risks for fear of damaging the boss's reputation, so in the end they didn't rush to release it during the Spring Festival.

As for the TV series, because it is in the "idol drama" category jointly dominated by Green Shade Media and Huo Mingjie, they are quite confident. A TV station even paid to book it at the beginning of filming.

Now that the production is completed, under the urging of the TV station, it will naturally be prepared for broadcast.

It just so happens that Huo Mingjie can now participate in a wave of preliminary promotions before going to South Korea to co-produce a movie.

Speaking of this promotion, it is quite unique.

When the TV series was still being filmed, Huo Mingjie and Zhang Tianai, who finally became the heroine, played a street prank in the form of random refreshes on the streets of Shanghai as the male and female protagonists of the TV series.

At that time, fans from Shanghai rushed to the streets, looking for Huo Mingjie and Zhang Tianai, wanting to participate.

The prank materials shot at that time have never been officially released, and only the text descriptions of the "victims" have been circulated on the Internet.

Now that the TV series promotion has begun, the corresponding materials have been edited and directly put on the LeTV website...
