fishing cables through walls (hdmi)

anybody have any experience with running an HDMI cable from above and behind the fireplace laterally to bookshelf cabinet. It needs to go about 4ft to the right and 4 ft downward.
I have a drywall saw and fishing cables. I have just never done this before. I think I can do it but was wondering how difficult it would be for a first I timer

If you have the right tools, which it sounds like you do, it should not be too difficult.

Assuming the studs in the wall are standard 16" on center, that will be a problem.

You need to go up the wall to the attic, then over and back down the wall.

Guys, he said behind his fireplace. Most fireplaces have plenty of space behind them to route wires behind the studs. My builder installed a PVC tube to bring the cables down to my cabinet.
If you want it clean, you'll have to install a wall box/ plate to run the wires in as well. If that's not critical, just cut a clean hole in both and fish it down. I've done it multiple times through my fireplace area.

Why make it difficult? Wireless HDMI, dude. Works great.

You need to go up, over, then down. I'm guessing you already know this.
