"How about it?"

Liu Rulan asked with a laugh on the other end of the phone.

"Great, very good." Xiao He nodded vigorously, then asked with some curiosity, "Sister Liu, what made you decide to give me this script?"

Xiao He thought that such upright characters were no longer available to him.

"Oh, it's from Shu Han's side. He Wenming felt that Shu Han wasn't suitable, so he transferred him to our side."

This brings us to the advantage of having two top agents in the same studio: resources can be shared, and roles can be swapped if they feel they are a good fit.

"Oh? It's for Brother Shu?"

Xiao He was somewhat surprised, but then he thought it made sense; the chances of giving such a script to Shu Han were much higher than giving it to him.

The main character of this drama is highly skilled in martial arts, and there are many action scenes to film. Shu Han's reputation as a martial arts superstar back then was not for nothing, so it is actually quite normal for the production team to submit such a script to him.

"I think this script is quite interesting, so why did Brother Shu turn it down?"

Xiao He felt that Shu Han's face was quite convincing if he were to play a righteous character, so why wouldn't he be suitable?

"It's because they think the protagonist's character is too evil." Liu Rulan sighed, "Shu Han might not be able to handle him."

"ah?"

Xiao He blinked.

"Well, this is a bit of a mystery. You could say it's like the character and the actor just don't click."

Liu Rulan explained: "Shu Han felt that this role was indeed remarkable and very special, but an actor like him is not really suitable for this kind of role, you know? It means that the actor's previous roles are similar to this role but completely different. If he plays the role, it is very likely to cause huge controversy and create a judgment on whether the character's behavior is right or wrong."

Just like when a person first appears on screen, if you see that it's this actor and think he's a good person, then once this good person character has behavioral flaws, it will definitely attract a lot of controversy and judgment.

However, if you feel that a person is definitely a bad guy as soon as he appears, then if this bad guy's behavior is normal or even very righteous, then people will feel that he is a good person. Although his methods are ruthless, his style of doing things is refreshing.

This is why, sometimes when choosing scripts, roles, and actors, it often gives the audience a strange feeling. The actor's acting skills are obviously good, but they just don't seem to fit the role for some reason.

This is indeed a bit mysterious; it depends on the actor.

Xiao He was speechless after hearing Liu Rulan's words: "So, I just happen to have the advantage of my past experience as an actor?"

Although he always plays villains, giving people that stereotype, he has also played good roles!

Damn it! I don't get to be the righteous protagonist, but I have to suppress the wicked protagonist who's actually righteous... Well, at least it's actually quite satisfying.

"What's the deal with this script? Is it an audition invitation or a job offer?"

An audition invitation means that the role has not been completely decided yet, and the actor needs to audition. A job offer, on the other hand, means that the role has been decided, and you can go directly to discuss the details and sign a contract.

However, nowadays, only big production teams and directors can send out audition invitations. There are basically no ordinary small production teams that still send out audition invitations, because in this case, famous actors simply won't come, and most of the good roles in the production team have already been filled by the investors. There are only enough roles for one person to fill a position.

Therefore, many production teams, both large and small, now directly issue job offers. In some cases, the investors even select the actors first, and then choose the script and roles.

Since Xiao He became famous for several roles, his studio has been receiving mostly work offers.

“It was a direct invitation, but it specifically asked for Shu Han,” Liu Rulan said. “However, I can contact him first.”

"OK."

Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please wait a moment."

Liu Rulan then hung up the phone and directly contacted Xiao He.

Xiao He glanced at the time on his phone, tossed it onto the bedside table, and then collapsed back onto the bed.

"Ah, I'm flying abroad again this afternoon."
