Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Hu Xiaoxiao hung up another water bag and shot another arrow.

"Why is it raining again?"

Feng Zidong stopped boxing, wiped the water from his hair, forehead, and face, squinted at the sky for a while, and couldn't figure it out.

Just then, another arrow shot out and embedded itself in the wooden pole above, rupturing the water bag and spilling water everywhere.

Feng Zidong then realized that it wasn't raining, but rather someone was playing tricks.

He quickly looked across the stage and saw Hu Xiaoxiao, dressed in a red opera costume and incredibly beautiful, moving the arrow down so that the tip was aimed at him.

Feng Zidong was so frightened that he took a step back. Was she going to shoot him with an arrow right there in the street?

Is this woman really that vicious?

Hu Xiaoxiao pointed the arrow at Feng Zidong, then lowered it slightly and let go.

Arrow flies—

With a thud, the arrow struck between Feng Zidong's feet, neither to the left nor to the right, but right in the middle.

If the other person's hand shakes and they manage to ejaculate a little bit—

Feng Zidong broke out in a cold sweat; he almost managed to cultivate the Sunflower Manual.

It would be cowardly for them not to respond to such blatant provocation.

Feng Zidong led a group of men toward the stage of "Mu Guiying". The group of twenty or thirty strong men were menacing and imposing.

The audience, seeing that something exciting was about to happen, became increasingly excited and returned to the area below the stage of "Mu Guiying," securing good seats and eagerly awaiting the performance.

Seeing this, Hu Xiaoxiao asked the reporter provided by the company to take pictures with a camera.

She whispered, "Make them look fierce, aggressive, and arrogant in the film, and make us look weak and pitiful in the film."

The reporter holding the camera was stunned for a moment. "Shouldn't we be filmed looking stronger and more aggressive to intimidate them? How can we boost their morale and diminish our own?"

"Just do as I say." Seeing that the other party had arrived, Hu Xiaoxiao didn't have time to explain in detail and simply told the reporter to do as she was told.

The reporter was completely bewildered, but still dutifully followed Hu Xiaoxiao's instructions, filming the actors of the "Martial Spirit" crew as if they were imposing and arrogant. When it was their turn, they selected a few shots, capturing several female actors showing expressions of tension, unease, or worry and fear.

Feng Zidong walked at the front, came to the bottom of the stage, braced himself with one hand, and jumped directly onto the stage.

His nimble skills drew a round of applause from the audience, who loved watching the spectacle.

Seeing this, the other actors from "The Spirit of Martial Arts" also jumped up in unison, supporting themselves with one hand.

Feng Zidong walked up to Hu Xiaoxiao, stopped, and looked at her with amazement. Hu Xiaoxiao was so famous; how could he not recognize her as an actress? But this was the first time he'd seen her in person. She was so much more beautiful in person than on TV.

Before Feng Zidong could speak, Hu Xiaoxiao preemptively said, "Your 'Martial Spirit' deliberately built a stage opposite us and copied our promotional plan. Are you trying to force us into a duel with you?"

Mingxu walked to Hu Xiaoxiao's side, crossed his arms, and stared at Feng Zidong with an unfriendly look, cheering for Hu Xiaoxiao.

Other members of the "Mu Guiying" cast also walked behind Hu Xiaoxiao to cheer her on and boost her morale.

Seeing this, the actors from "The Spirit of Martial Arts" immediately stood behind Feng Zidong to cheer him on, creating a tense atmosphere.

To make matters worse, the audience below added fuel to the fire, shouting, "Fight! Fight!"

Feng Zidong quickly reached out, signaling the audience to stop adding fuel to the fire.

With so many brothers behind him and so many spectators below, Feng Zidong couldn't afford to lose face. He crossed his arms, raised his chin, and arrogantly said, "This street isn't your Baogang TV's territory. Just because you Baogang TV set up a stage doesn't mean others aren't allowed to set up a stage. How arrogant are you Baogang TV?"

Hu Xiaoxiao wasn't intimidated by his imposing manner and said, "How can you be more arrogant? You plagiarized our propaganda and then came to provoke us from across the street. Your behavior is shameless enough. I've seen 'The Spirit of Martial Arts,' and your arrogant and shameless behavior now is just like the Japanese characters in the show."

You portray yourself as a patriotic and chivalrous hero on television, but in reality, you're just a ruthless and brutal Japanese pirate, aren't you? Shouldn't we let everyone see if you look more like a Japanese pirate or a hero now?

"Nonsense! Of course we're heroes!" With so many spectators watching, all eager for a spectacle, Feng Zidong dared not be insulted for resembling a Japanese person, lest it negatively impact the ratings of "The Spirit of Martial Arts." "You mean, in your Hong Kong and Taiwan's propaganda territory, we're not allowed to do any propaganda?"

"I'm not as domineering as you guys." Hu Xiaoxiao's voice wasn't quiet; even the audience members near the stage could hear her. "Although you provoked us first and tried to mess with our crew, we're also very reasonable. How about this: both our crews send someone, and we'll have a contest. Whoever wins gets to call the shots, and whoever loses leaves this area. Are you ready to bet?"

"Why wouldn't we dare?" Feng Zidong glanced at the actors from the opposite film crew; they were a group of women. "Mu Guiying" was another women's play, and they, grown men, were they really no match for these women? "Just bring it on!"

Hu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "We've been doing activities all morning and we're exhausted. You just arrived and have plenty of energy. It's not fair to fight us now. Let's choose a time, tomorrow or the day after."

“Oh—I’m tired—” Feng Zidong laughed mischievously. “No problem. Since you’re tired, I’ll give you an extra day to rest. The day after tomorrow! The day after tomorrow, at this time, we’ll have a real, real fight here.”

Hu Xiaoxiao couldn't suppress the smile on her face and said, "I'll play along to the end! Whoever doesn't come loses, and the audience below are all witnesses."

"What a joke! Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Not only was Feng Zidong not afraid, but he also stood on the stage, took the emcee's microphone, and challenged the two drama crews of "Heroic Warriors" and "Mu Guiying" to a duel.

The audience below, who love to stir things up while watching the news, joined in the commotion, making the scene even more lively than during the Lunar New Year.

Standing on the stage, Hu Xiaoxiao watched the enthusiastic crowd below spreading the news, and her heart was filled with joy.

She was worried that the publicity wasn't strong enough and the effect wasn't great enough, which was why the ratings for "Mu Guiying" were rising too slowly!

"The Spirit of Martial Arts" has been airing for so long and is well-produced, and many viewers have become so engrossed in the show that they won't easily switch to another show until the very end.

And that's how these people ended up here! Now that we have this gimmick, how can the fame of "Mu Guiying" not spread throughout Hong Kong?

After the crew of "The Spirit of Martial Arts" left, Hu Xiaoxiao immediately told reporters, "Immediately send notices to all newspapers, magazines, and paparazzi we know, telling them about the duel between the two crews. We need to spread all the news today and try to get all the newspapers and magazines to publish this story tomorrow."

Did you really think she was tired? She was just buying time to inform all the citizens of Hong Kong.
