At the age of 43, Hu Ge is still one of the leading male actors on Chinese screens. After the success of "Prosperity" 3 years ago, this year he continues to attract attention with his role in a broadcast on CCTV Central Television, along with a number of film projects.
However, the actor admitted that the film market is facing many difficulties, making even actors in his position increasingly have fewer opportunities to choose scripts as they wish.
In an interview with GQ magazine, when asked about the gloomy situation of the film market in recent years, Ho Ca frankly said that he can no longer choose scripts almost entirely based on preferences as before.
According to the actor, the current market especially values box office revenue. A film that cannot recover capital will directly affect the opportunities of participants, making the selection of works more difficult.
However, instead of worrying too much about things beyond his control, he chooses to maintain a calmer mentality. For the actor, the most important thing now is that his daughter is healthy and happily grows up.
Ho Ca became famous in 2005 with the role of Ly Tieu Dao in "Tien Kiem Ky Hiep". In 2015, he continuously made a splash through "The Camouflage", "Lang Nha Bang" and "Good Times". In 2024, the role of A Bao in "Prosperity" helped him win the Best Actor award for the second time at the Bai Yu Lan Awards.
Besides his career, his daughter's life is also something Ho Ca is particularly interested in. He married Hoang Hy Ninh in 2022 and welcomed his daughter Tieu Mat Ly in the following year.
The actor said that the time his child was born was also the time he was most busy with the filming process of "Phoen Hoa", so he did not have much time to be with his child. In about half a year, his wife almost single-handedly managed the family.
Mentioning his daughter Tiểu Mạt Lỵ, Hồ Ca revealed that right before the interview day, his wife reported that his daughter missed her father. He immediately wanted to go home. However, the actor admitted that recently he often had to be away from his family because of work.
When Ho Ca is not at home, if her daughter misses her father, the family will open the movies he has starred in for her to watch. Therefore, from a young age, Tieu Mat Ly knew her father worked on television. The work she watched the most was "Prosperity", especially she loved the image of Bao Tong played by Ho Ca and thought that her father in this role looked more handsome.
Another story that makes Ho Ca laugh is that when her daughter sees her father's advertisement in a shopping center or elevator, she often proudly screams: "This is my dad!
Ho Ca tries to make his daughter not feel that his father is too special. However, in crowded places, he still cannot comfortably take his daughter out to play. Xiao Mat Ly also gradually realizes that sometimes people come to ask to take pictures with his father, because "the father is an actor".
Ho Ca's shares received much sympathy. Audiences believe that what he regrets is not the lack of films to act in, but it is increasingly difficult to freely choose works he really likes.
Meanwhile, the simple life with his daughter helps the actor have another priority besides his career, maintaining balance and enjoying important things in the family.
