Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

When playing Zhou Bijun, Hu Xiaoxiao acted according to the script, with little personal interpretation and only playing a supporting role.

Even so, the performance still amazed the director and others.

Now, Hu Xiaoxiao is displaying her full strength. She moves nimbly and gracefully in the air, making people forget the wires she is wearing and mistake her for a fairy flying freely in the air.

Her every move exudes a captivating charm that is impossible to look away from.

This is still in casual clothes; if he were wearing a theatrical costume, I wonder how handsome he would look.

As a professional martial arts instructor, even though Hu Xiaoxiao hadn't put on the costume yet, Nie Jinlong could already clearly picture the overall effect of her in it in his mind. The more he looked at it, the more his heart was shaken, as if something was about to explode out of his mind.

Before seeing Hu Xiaoxiao's performance, Nie Jinlong couldn't imagine how to design the play for Murong Qianluo. After all, it's hard for people to imagine something they've never seen before.

But now, seeing Hu Xiaoxiao performing freely and casually in the air, his inspiration suddenly surged like a breach in a river embankment, incredibly rapid, and one clear and profound image after another flashed through his mind.

An unprecedentedly brilliant imagination appeared in his mind. If only he could turn it into reality—no, there was no "if only"! Hu Xiaoxiao could definitely do it, and bring the most romantic imagination in his mind to life!

That scene must have been unprecedentedly stunning.

Nie Jinlong could not contain his excitement. He felt that he was about to create a legend, the most legendary action performance in the history of martial arts, which would surely be recorded as the most dazzling chapter in the history of martial arts design.

Nie Jinlong even felt that he was not working at this moment, but creating art.

He made art, and Hu Xiaoxiao made him!

Nie Jinlong was filled with excitement, and the way he looked at Hu Xiaoxiao was even more tender than when he looked at his own daughter.

After Hu Xiaoxiao finished her performance and the wires were removed, Nie Jinlong walked over excitedly, his voice trembling. "Very good, excellent! Xiaoxiao, you wait, I'm going to design the most exciting and amazing action scene for you! I'm going to make you an overnight sensation!"

Mingxu, who was listening nearby, interjected, "Teacher, I'm the male lead! The most exciting and amazing action scenes, why wasn't I included?"

Nie Jinlong suddenly woke up, looked Mingxu up and down, and nodded, "Yes! That's right! Your action scenes also need to be redesigned. The previous action scenes were too bland. You need to have some exciting wire work scenes. Starting tomorrow, you will start wire work training!"

Mingxu was just joking, who knew they'd actually add action scenes for him? He's already training really hard, is this going to increase his burden?

"Teacher, can I not take it?" Mingxu tentatively refused.

"Of course not!" Nie Jinlong said decisively, "You are the male lead, so the action scenes cannot be perfunctory. It's not like the female lead, Murong Qianluo, is flying in the sky like a swan, while the male lead, Long Yijiang, is chasing on the ground like a toad. Is that acceptable?"

Mingxu imagined the scene: it was indeed outrageous.

Okay, let's practice then. It can't be that Xiaoxiao is so hardworking while he's so lame, right?

They have to be roughly equal, right?

After watching Hu Xiaoxiao's wonderful performance, Mingxu was also inspired to compete. He asked the wire stuntman to put wires on him and started practicing right away.

Nie Jinlong had a burst of inspiration and designed a series of action scenes for Murong Qianluo, which he then showed to the director.

The director is Shao Yitao, who directed "The Grandmaster" last time.

After watching Nie Jinlong's action choreography, Director Shao looked troubled. "It is indeed brilliant and novel, you could say it's unprecedented. But can the actors pull it off? Acting can't rely solely on imagination; the actors' abilities also need to be up to par."

Nie Jinlong gave a direct guarantee: "All of my action scene designs came from watching Hu Xiaoxiao's performance. I guarantee that there's nothing Hu Xiaoxiao can't perform, only things you can't imagine. Director Shao, you've really struck gold to get Hu Xiaoxiao to act in your film."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Shao Yitao was skeptical, but Hu Xiaoxiao's performance earlier was indeed outstanding. "I need to go and see for myself to make sure Hu Xiaoxiao can pull it off. Most of Murong Qianluo's scenes involve wire work, which is already hard on the actors. The choreography you designed is too difficult; if it's not done properly, it could easily lead to an accident."

"Then go take a look." Nie Jinlong immediately took Shao Yitao to the training room, where Mingxu was still training, holding a long sword and practicing various difficult moves while suspended by wires.

Shao Yitao stopped and watched Mingxu's fight scene with a smile. "Mingxu's fight scene is outstanding. I didn't expect this kid to improve so quickly."

Nie Jinlong glanced at it a few times. If he hadn't seen Hu Xiaoxiao's wire work before, he would have been amazed by Mingxu's progress.

But now, nothing compares to Wushan; having seen better things, Mingxu is nothing special.

"Take a look at Xiaoxiao's first." Nie Jinlong found Hu Xiaoxiao, who was holding a rope and thinking about several ways to use it in the play. "Xiaoxiao, show Director Shao your skills."

Hu Xiaoxiao perked up when she saw the director. Sometimes the director had more decision-making power than Charlie. If the director wanted to add scenes or shots, Charlie had to respect that.

After all, they're professionals.

Hu Xiaoxiao immediately had the wire stuntman re-tie her wires, then picked up her rope and performed the tricks she had just figured out.

Hu Xiaoxiao relied mainly on her experience in her performance just now.

This performance, in addition to experience, also incorporated artistic effects added by Hu Xiaoxiao herself. This resulted in a more visually appealing performance, with smoother movements that better suited the camera's presentation. The effect left Shao Yitao completely stunned.

Nie Jinlong was also stunned. "Xiaoxiao, how come your action scenes are even better now?"

Hu Xiaoxiao landed, untied the wire, and said to Nie Jinlong, "Teacher, I think we could add these two scenes to the fight scene at Qiushui Manor: one where they fight from high above, increasing the visual pressure, and another where they soar up from the ground, like a tornado, into the air..."

Also, the fight scenes on the boat in the Xuanjiao Gang segment weren't exciting enough. You could add some fight scenes on the water. I could use my light-foot technique to fly across the water like this..."

Hu Xiaoxiao openly added scenes for herself in front of the director.

But Director Shao listened and kept nodding, thinking it made a lot of sense.

A great scene must be included.

Too many shots?

No problem, just add more episodes.

The original plan was for 40 episodes, so how about adding 5 more? If 5 episodes aren't enough, adding 10 more episodes wouldn't be a problem either.
