Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

"Charlie, are you kidding me? Even without Xiaoxiao's affair, you want me to be her supporting character? You're out of your mind. I'm not going!"

"Do you think I want this? I care about your status more than you do, and this is the last thing I want to see." Charlie said with a headache, "Although I manage the production department, I am also subject to Director Qiu. If you disagree, he can't do anything to me, but he can do nothing to you, right?"

"Mingxu, if President Qiu wants to make things difficult for you, even blacklisting you is just a matter of a word. Besides, you're not an actor for nothing. I've secured a good resource for you. With this resource, you can gain a more stable foothold at the TV station. Whether you can become the future top star depends on this."

The top dog? Now he's going to be the underling! Mingxu rolled his eyes, about to refuse again, when he rolled his eyes and asked, "Mu Guiying is starting filming so soon?"

"The timeline hasn't been set yet. It takes time to assemble the team, and the script isn't finished either. It might take about two months. However, Wang Shasha is eager to start filming, so she might do the styling and other preliminary work first."

Mingxu asked, "When will the makeup trial begin?"

"I guess it will be about a month."

"I understand," Mingxu said only before leaving.

Charlie shouted from behind, "Then I'll agree for you."

"up to you."

After leaving the TV station, Mingxu noticed it was getting late. He picked up his mobile phone and called Hu Xiaoxiao, asking, "What are you doing?"

"Since we're bored, let's eat and drink." Hu Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged on the sofa, leisurely eating potato chips and watching TV.

Upon hearing about food and drink, Mingxu's face lit up, and he asked, "What to eat? What to drink? I want some too."

Thinking about tomorrow's itinerary, Hu Xiaoxiao said, "I'm going out to sea to fish tomorrow, do you want to come?"

She's recently taken a liking to seafood; steamed seafood is delicious, and grilled seafood is also delicious, as long as it's fresh.

Going out for sea fishing by boat is a fun and relaxing activity where you can enjoy the food and have fun.

Mingxu's barbecue is amazing; it would be even better if he joined us.

"Come on, come on! Definitely! What time tomorrow?" Mingxu was even more eager than Hu Xiaoxiao. "I'll go prepare the ingredients for the seafood right now. Tomorrow we'll fish, butcher, cook, and eat on the boat. Heaven knows how long it's been since I've had such fresh seafood."

Upon hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's location and time, Mingxu turned the steering wheel and drove towards the market, embarking on a shopping spree.

Early the next morning, Xie Zhiheng sat in a recliner with his eyes half-closed, yawning repeatedly.

Hu Xiaoxiao poured him a glass of warm water and asked, "How's the matter I asked you to inquire about going?"

Xie Zhiheng yawned again and made an OK sign. "I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Mingxu arrived at the dock on time, carrying bags and bags of things. Hu Xiaoxiao went over to help him carry them onto the yacht. When she saw what was in the bags, her eyes lit up and she asked, "Is it all food?"

"Yes, I was worried you hadn't had breakfast yet. Look, there's some breakfast takeout from the teahouse, and also cake. There's also some barbecue ingredients here for later. Oh, and I also brought some marinated chicken wings and drumsticks, just in case we don't catch any seafood."

Mingxu made very thorough preparations, providing all kinds of food and drink.

Xie Zhiheng came over to help put the food on the table. The breakfast was still hot, and the aroma made him hungry.

He opened the items one by one and called to Hu Xiaoxiao and Mingxu, "Xiaoxiao, Mingxu, hurry up and eat while it's hot."

The three of them were not polite when it came to food. They sat together, picked up their chopsticks, and had a delicious, plentiful, and filling breakfast.

The boat they took out to sea was a flybridge yacht that Xie Zhiheng had bought before. The top deck of the yacht had a soft canopy, which could provide shade and shelter from the rain and was perfect for enjoying the scenery.

There is a spacious area below deck that can be used for resting.

After having breakfast, they went to the first deck to prepare their fishing gear.

Mr. Mingxu lit the fire, first setting up the charcoal for grilling. Once the fire was burning brightly, he grilled a few skewers of vegetables to cut through the greasiness.

Hu Xiaoxiao took a chair and sat down next to them, enjoying the scenery while waiting for her food.

Hu Xiaoxiao loved this life of eating and then waiting for more.

Mingxu's cooking skills have improved again. The barbecue seasoning he makes is even more fragrant than that of barbecue restaurants, and Hu Xiaoxiao and Xie Zhiheng can't stop eating it.

Mingxu ate the most, not only finishing all the cakes and snacks he brought, but also eating most of the fish he caught.

Days passed by, and the leisurely life filled with delicious food made one forget all about home.

Before he knew it, a month had passed. On this day, Mingxu was about to go out to meet Hu Xiaoxiao for a sea fishing trip.

After trying various activities, they found that going out to sea was the most comfortable. They found a deserted island with a large area, where they ate and drank to their heart's content while enjoying the vast ocean view.

When you're in the city, you need to wear a mask wherever you go, otherwise you'll be recognized immediately, making it very restrictive to have fun.

"Mingxu," Wang Shasha called, "Are you free today? Come over and try on some makeup."

"Is the styling all done?"

"Everything's ready. I've prepared several costumes for you, all custom-made for you. I won't treat you badly in this drama," Wang Shasha assured her over the phone.

Mingxu readily agreed, "I'll go try on the makeup right now."

"I'll wait for you," Wang Shasha said happily.

Mingxu picked up his car keys and drove to the TV station.

After getting off the car, Mingxu whistled all the way up.

Those who saw him along the way first looked puzzled, then surprised.

Mingxu greeted everyone in a good mood, pressed the elevator button, and went up to the floor where the makeup photos were taken.

The elevator doors opened, and Mingxu, familiar with the place, went straight to the photography studio. Before he even arrived, his voice preceded him, "I'm here! Where's my costume? Let me try it on first."

Hearing Mingxu's voice, the costume crew pushed out a clothes rack, about to call Mingxu to change into his costume. They looked up and their eyes widened involuntarily: "Mingxu?"

"What, haven't seen me for a while, don't you recognize me?" Mingxu laughed, revealing his exceptionally white teeth.

Everyone else turned to look, all of them showing expressions of shock.

Wang Shasha put a lot of effort into the drama "Mu Guiying". For just 20 episodes, she prepared more than 20 sets of costumes for herself, changing one for each episode and still having extras.

She changed into beautiful clothes, did her makeup, and took dozens of photos of each look so that she could choose the most outstanding ones for promotion.

"Has Mingxu not arrived yet?" Wang Shasha changed into her favorite costume, preparing to take a costume fitting photo with Mingxu later.

"Coming...coming..." Upon hearing this, the staff member who came in replied with a complicated expression, "He's outside. Why don't you go out and check on him?"

Wang Shasha asked curiously, "Why are you looking at him? To let him change into his costume for a photoshoot!"

"But, Sister Sha, the costume department has encountered a very difficult problem."
