Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

As you can imagine, the person who was fooled felt like the sky was falling when the facts hit, and that a month's work had been for nothing.

People's hearts are evil!

So he also went to find a scapegoat.

Gradually, everyone realized that something was wrong.

Hu Xiaoxiao is stronger than a man!

How can this be?

But, this is the fact!

The only person who wasn't surprised at all was Mingxu. Although he had never arm wrestled with Hu Xiaoxiao, he often played with her and had witnessed her strength. Some things were difficult for him to lift, but Hu Xiaoxiao handled them with ease, as if it were child's play.

After confirming Hu Xiaoxiao's strength, Nie Jinlong actually went to help find a good bow. A few days later, he borrowed a bow from somewhere that had an ancient feel and was very heavy.

"This bow is quite old; it really takes some strength to draw it." Nie Jinlong tried it and found it very difficult to draw; the bow itself was also very heavy.

Hu Xiaoxiao took the bow and became more and more satisfied with it. Its simple color and shape were very suitable for the ancient battlefield.

Moreover, this is a longbow, 1.5 meters long, which is more in line with the script description than the short bow prepared by the props team.

The longbow has a long range, which fits the script's description of Mu Guiying using a bow to shoot the enemy leader from a distance on the battlefield.

Even Director Ge, who doesn't understand martial arts scenes, was immediately impressed, saying, "This way, our drama will be even more sophisticated."

Hu Xiaoxiao tried out the longbow. With her strength, she could draw the bow fully, creating a powerful effect that would make viewers feel a strong sense of pressure.

After mastering the longbow, Hu Xiaoxiao spent a few more days learning to ride a horse.

With everything ready, filming for the TV series "Mu Guiying" finally began.

On the day filming began, Hu Xiaoxiao specially invited Lu Sheng to attend the opening ceremony.

Lu Sheng already knew that Qiu Lihua intended to use the drama "Mu Guiying" as a sacrifice to regain his reputation. Of course, Lu Sheng did not want Qiu Lihua's scheme to succeed, so he strongly supported "Mu Guiying" while secretly guarding against Qiu Lihua's underhanded tactics.

It was precisely because Lu Sheng was keeping a close eye on things that Qiu Lihua was able to refrain from secretly causing trouble.

Lu Sheng specially wore a sharp suit and tie and solemnly arrived at the filming location.

Upon arriving at the scene, Lu Sheng first subtly surveyed the crew and actors. He noticed many familiar faces, as well as many unfamiliar ones.

The unfamiliar faces came from the cast. He inquired and found that many actors whose names he didn't know and whom he had never seen before were playing very important roles.

He was surprised by the crew's boldness. Judging from the cast, the biggest stars were only Hu Xiaoxiao and Ming Xu. The show would have to rely entirely on the two of them.

Are they really that confident?

He thought about how the production team of "Fan Lihua" had invited several heavyweight actors, and even his second brother Wang Yiqun had been invited to oversee the production. Compared with the production team of "Mu Guiying", he couldn't help but worry about the small lineup of this production team.

However, when his gaze fell upon those familiar faces, he felt slightly relieved.

These familiar faces come from the cast and crew of "Mu Guiying".

Lu Sheng rarely gets involved in the production department and doesn't know much about the behind-the-scenes staff. However, he still finds the production team of "Mu Guiying" familiar, which suggests that the production department's elites have almost all been recruited for this drama.

Linda's elites, Charlie's elites—wait, isn't the director Ge Songying, one of Linda's people? How come he saw Charlie's director Shao Yitao here too?

Just as Lu Sheng was wondering, Awei came over to greet him, and Lu Sheng asked about how a film crew could have two directors.

Ah Wei then took Lu Sheng over and asked the two directors to answer Lu Sheng's questions.

Ge Songying smiled and said, "As Mr. Lu knows, I'm not good at filming action scenes, so I specially invited Director Shao to come and give me some pointers. Director Shao, I hope you will continue to guide me in the future. The action scenes in this film are all thanks to you."

Shao Yitao agreed to come and direct the action scenes of the drama not only because Hu Xiaoxiao and Ge Songying sincerely invited him, but also because Hu Xiaoxiao showed him the script and called Nie Jinlong over to persuade him.

As a director, Shao Yitao couldn't refuse a good script. He had directed many martial arts dramas, but after seeing this script and hearing Nie Jinlong and Hu Xiaoxiao explain the new approach to martial arts scenes, he was quickly captivated.

He was constantly exploring and incorporating new elements into each of his martial arts dramas, which is why every series he produced was loved by the audience. Now, with the innovative martial arts scenes in "Mu Guiying," which he had never filmed before, how could Shao Yitao let such a good learning opportunity pass him by?

"Director Shao, if this drama is successful, you'll gain experience; if it fails, you'll be able to avoid similar pitfalls in future productions. A free learning opportunity, seeing others make mistakes firsthand—aren't you tempted at all?" That's how Hu Xiaoxiao advised Shao Yitao at the time.

With his friend Nie Jinlong constantly talking to him about the future of new-style martial arts, Shao Yitao arrived.

After he arrived, Director Ge Songying respected his ideas and treated him with the respect due to a teacher, which made Shao Yitao even more willing to come.

Director Shao smiled broadly and said modestly, "We learn from each other. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Let's treat this as an opportunity to exchange ideas and improve together."

Seeing that both directors were so humble and the atmosphere was so good, Lu Sheng realized that with Director Ge overseeing the dramatic scenes and Director Shao watching the action scenes, the project was already halfway to success.

Next, Lu Sheng discovered that this crew had far more pyrotechnicians and explosives technicians than other crews. He was surprised and asked Hu Xiaoxiao what was going on.

Hu Xiaoxiao said, "I've seen the current special effects technology, and it's very crude, easy to break the immersion, and doesn't convey any sense of realism. After discussing with the crew, we decided to add explosion scenes to make up for the lack of special effects."

This is one of the advantages of filming on location; you can release explosive footage freely. In a studio, where would you dare to release such footage? Who would dare?

Hu Xiaoxiao expressed her heartfelt gratitude, saying, "Thanks to President Qiu for approving so much funding for our production team, we dared to go all out. When you see President Qiu, please remember to thank him for me."

Lu Sheng laughed loudly, "Definitely! When I see President Qiu, I will definitely give him my thanks."

Qiu Lihua would be so happy he'd almost vomit blood if he heard that thank you.

At the opening ceremony, the production team prominently placed Lu Sheng in the center position, so that Lu Sheng would feel more involved in the drama and could seek his help if he encountered difficulties in the future.

The opening ceremony was a complete success. After happily attending the opening ceremony of the "Mu Guiying" drama crew, Lu Sheng felt much more at ease and reassured.

However, he was still a little worried, so he specifically asked someone about the production team of "Fan Lihua".

After listening, Lu Sheng showed no expression at the time, but he became more proactive in his subsequent struggle with Qiu Lihua.
