Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Charlie is very calm and confident in "The Grandmaster". He is optimistic about the series.

However, the final result was still beyond his expectations. He had predicted that "The Grandmaster" would be a hit, but he never expected it to be this popular.

An unprecedented fire.

Especially among students, posters and stickers for "The Grandmaster" sold out. If a student didn't have several stickers of Mingxu, Lan Xinya, or Zhou Bijun in their notebook, they were considered out of touch and would be laughed at for being old-fashioned.

Even more so, students who liked Lan Xinya and those who liked Zhou Bijun split into two factions, constantly arguing about whether Lan Xinya or Zhou Bijun was prettier, and the debate was quite heated.

The debate raged fiercely over whether Mingxu loved Lan Xinya or Zhou Bijun.

What's outrageous is that stationery items printed with images of Mingxu and Lanxinya, or Mingxu and Zhou Bijun, sell exceptionally well.

Even some small workshops like to put these two couple photos on their backpacks to increase sales.

It's safe to say that this show was incredibly popular among students.

Besides students, the response from housewives was also positive, which is reflected in the fact that many commercial performances approached the production team, resulting in the production team receiving a lot of commercial performances and increasing the extra income of the actors in the same group.

As the broadcast of "The Grandmaster" draws to a close, the Miss Hong Kong pageant finals are just around the corner.

However, compared to the immense popularity of last year's Miss Hong Kong pageant, this year's competition seems much less exciting. Public attention to this year's contestants is also far less than last year.

Last year, in order to compete with TVB, TVB specially put on many talent shows for its contestants, which received a good response and ultimately made a very impressive comeback.

Therefore, this year, Baogang TV followed the same approach as last year, allowing the contestants to showcase their talents in various ways before the finals.

Although the idea was good, the result was hard to describe.

The program's management discovered that this year's contestants not only couldn't compare to last year's in appearance, but their effort and dedication were also far inferior. They fondly remembered last year's contestants, who all gave it their all and displayed an indomitable spirit before the final results were announced.

The only advantage of this year's contestants is that there are many more of them than last year.

But what's the use of having so many people? There's not a single one who can fight.

After airing two talent shows featuring contestants, the program was cancelled due to low viewership. Seeing that the contestants' training was also unsatisfactory and lacked any highlights, the semi-finals were also cancelled, and the finals were skipped entirely.

Hu Xiaoxiao received a notification from the program department, asking her to record a segment reflecting on her experiences and feelings during her year as Miss Hong Kong, to report her achievements to the public. This recording will be played during her appearance at the Miss Hong Kong finals.

Recording this audio segment wasn't difficult; it was just a report on the duties she had fulfilled since becoming Miss Hong Kong. Hu Xiaoxiao finished recording quickly and then began preparing her outfit and styling for the coronation of the new Miss Hong Kong champion.

When participating in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, the program provides the clothes, but when going to the awards ceremony, you have to prepare your own clothes.

Just as Hu Xiaoxiao was considering when to buy a dress, Miss Bai from Quanfu Jewelry came over.

"Ms. Hu, have you prepared the dress you'll wear for the finals?" Ms. Bai asked.

Hu Xiaoxiao was puzzled by Ms. Bai's arrival, but since Ms. Bai was a major client, she told her the truth: "I haven't finished buying yet. I wonder if Ms. Bai has any suggestions?"

Hu Xiaoxiao wondered if Quanfu Jewelry was worried that the clothes she bought were too cheap and not classy enough, which would affect Quanfu Jewelry's image? Does Quanfu Jewelry manage its spokespeople so strictly?

Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaoxiao's casual guess turned out to be correct.

Ms. Bai said, "If Ms. Hu hasn't prepared a dress yet, our company can sponsor one for her."

Hu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. A high-end dress like that would cost a lot, and with sponsorship, she could save a lot of money. Quanfu Company was so generous; she didn't mind being strictly managed at all. "Your company is really generous."

Miss Bai saw through Hu Xiaoxiao's thoughts and laughed, explaining, "Our company doesn't interfere much with our spokespeople, as long as there's no negative news and it doesn't affect Quanfu Jewelry's image. I came here today specifically to rudely interfere with Miss Hu's dress, because there's a set of jewelry that Miss Hu needs to wear that evening."

Hu Xiaoxiao didn't know what kind of jewelry she would be wearing, only that it was a routine promotion. She said very professionally, "As the spokesperson for Quanfu Jewelry, I am more than happy to do so. As long as you don't dress me up like Santa Claus, I'm fine with any kind of jewelry."

It's only natural to promote someone if you're paid to do so.

"Not many pieces of jewelry, just a few." Miss Bai came prepared, directly taking out a catalog of gowns from top international brands for Hu Xiaoxiao to choose from.

After flipping through a few pages, Hu Xiaoxiao thought of a question, "Miss Bai, I need to see what type of jewelry I'll be wearing before I can decide which dress to choose."

Since the purpose is to promote a jewelry company, the choice of clothing should prioritize the jewelry and be secondary, aiming to showcase the magnificence of the jewelry as much as possible.

Ms. Bai said apologetically, "Ms. Hu, I'm sorry, you can't see that jewelry set right now. It's locked in the insurance company's safe, and the procedures for retrieving it are very complicated. You can only see it on the night of the finals."

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoxiao knew that the jewelry was extremely valuable, and immediately became very attentive, discussing her outfit from that night with Miss Bai.

"Miss Bai, could you tell me about the design and appearance of that jewelry set?"

"It's diamond jewelry, and the most valuable piece is a necklace with a rare diamond pendant that's extremely expensive."

Hu Xiaoxiao asked a few more questions, and after getting the information she needed, she consulted Miss Bai's opinion and finally decided to choose a strapless dress.

To make jewelry look good, your neck must be fully exposed. The jewelry pendant should also not be covered by clothing. Hu Xiaoxiao decided that the centerpiece of her look that night was the jewelry, and any clothing that would hinder the jewelry from showcasing its charm was not allowed.

Strapless dresses are very versatile and are also suitable for displaying jewelry. Choosing this type of dress can minimize the risk of unexpected situations.

In terms of color, Hu Xiaoxiao also chose a versatile black, taking into account the stage lighting and the effect of the jewelry under the lights.

She also discussed her hairstyle with Miss Bai.

In short, all the styling and design for that night were finalized with Miss Bai so that Quanfu Jewelry Company could make the best plan, maximize the publicity effect, and achieve the ultimate in every aspect.

Finally, Miss Bai left satisfied.
