Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

"Also, remember to send the photos you just took to the newspapers and paparazzi, and show the arrogance of the 'Martial Spirit' crew."

Ideally, citizens would be so angry upon reading the newspaper that they would want to hit someone.

Once the public's emotions are stirred up, this event receives more attention, and the ratings for the TV series "Mu Guiying" rise even higher. It would be even more interesting if they were defeated in the ring.

Not content with copying their propaganda, she even dares to come to the other side to challenge them. There are so many places in Baogang, why does she have to squeeze in here to annoy people? Then don't blame her.

The reporter, being a professional, quickly understood Hu Xiaoxiao's purpose and gave a thumbs up, "Received! I'll get on it right away and make sure this is the headline when citizens get their newspapers tomorrow!"

Fearing she couldn't explain things clearly over the phone, Hu Xiaoxiao immediately drove back to the TV station. Without even changing out of her costume, she found Lu Sheng and told him about her plan to compete with "Shangwu Jingshen".

"You mean, the 'Mu Guiying' production team is going to have a showdown with the 'Shangwu Spirit' production team? A real showdown, like a martial arts contest?" Lu Sheng asked repeatedly to confirm this. Since their inception, the two television stations had been rivals, but they had never actually engaged in a brutal physical fight.

After all, everyone here is a civilized person, and they all appear amicable on the surface, but what they really want to do is underhanded tactics.

Even though we used to talk about competing, it was just a metaphor. At most, whatever show you broadcast, I would broadcast too, and I would even get higher ratings than you.

Now, the two film crews are standing in front of the citizens and fighting with real weapons. Even though Lu Sheng is used to seeing the world, he was still shocked by this.

"Was this your idea?" Lu Sheng couldn't understand how Hu Xiaoxiao, a young woman, could act so boldly and unexpectedly.

Hu Xiaoxiao had rushed over and was very thirsty. She poured herself some tea and drank it. After she had drunk her fill, she said, "Tell me, is this news exciting enough? If you were a citizen, would you be interested in this news?"

"Of course."

"That's right!" Hu Xiaoxiao said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's get started right away!"

Lu Sheng clenched his fist, suppressing his excitement. "Tell me first, what are the chances of 'Mu Guiying' winning?"

"We'll definitely win. If Mingxu and the others can't win, I'll go. I'll take on their entire crew by myself," Hu Xiaoxiao said confidently.

During the filming of "Mu Guiying", Lu Sheng kept up with the production. He knew about Hu Xiaoxiao's arm wrestling match on set, which left a group of men questioning their existence.

Lu Sheng slammed his hand on the table. Since the odds of winning are so high, let's do it! "You go back and rest first, recharge your energy, and leave everything else to me."

Perhaps by taking advantage of this incident, the ratings for "Mu Guiying" could really soar, and then they would be able to give Ji Sheng a satisfactory answer.

After thinking it through, the pressure that had been weighing on Lu Sheng's shoulders for the past few days seemed to have been suddenly lifted, making him feel much lighter. He was more excited than anyone else and immediately mobilized resources to make this a big deal.

Lu Sheng wasn't the only one who thought this way; Baozhutai thought the same.

Why did Baozhu TV send the cast of "Shangwu Spirit" out for promotion? Wasn't it because they saw that "Mu Guiying" was gaining momentum and wanted to play it safe, so they followed suit with their own promotion?

Are two film crews going to compete against each other now?

If they win, you can imagine how much popularity that will bring to the winning show! Conversely, if they lose, the show's ratings will suffer!

"Are you sure you can win?" Cheng Shenglai, the general manager of Baozhutai, inquired about this matter.

Feng Zidong patted his chest and guaranteed, "We'll win one hundred percent! 'Mu Guiying' is a women's drama; I didn't see many men. There's no reason we can't beat them. I said we should fight back then, but Hu Xiaoxiao chickened out, saying he was tired and wanted to fight another day. You can imagine how afraid they are of us!"

"That's good. I'll handle this right now, make this news a huge hit, and after we beat the 'Mu Guiying' production team the day after tomorrow, we'll have no worries about the ratings!"

Baozhu TV also immediately mobilized resources to publicize the competition between the two production teams.

The two major television stations broadcast the incident on television. At the same time, various newspapers, magazines, and other media outlets received photos and details of the incident from reporters from the Hong Kong and Taiwan television stations (the details from the perspective of the "Mu Guiying" production team).

Media outlets, desperately lacking news and sensational stories, removed their original front pages overnight and replaced them with new headlines.

The next day, when Hu Xiaoxiao finished breakfast and received the newspaper, every newspaper had a full-page report on this incident, complete with photos, providing evidence.

Coincidentally, the magazines published in the last two days also made this a headline and reported on it extensively.

"Dragon and Phoenix Clash: The Martial Spirit and Mu Guiying's Battle to Take Place Tomorrow"

This is a fairly normal title, but the title below is way too suggestive—

A man and woman engaged in passionate lovemaking in the street, drawing praise from onlookers who found it a feast for the eyes.

There is another title—

What kind of heroes are these, a group of grown men bullying a woman in the street?

The accompanying photos are two: one shows the extremely arrogant male actors of "Shangwu Spirit," and the other shows several female actors from the "Mu Guiying" crew looking frightened.

There are also some really unethical headlines—

A delicate woman was bullied by a group of burly men until tomorrow; the scene was horrific.

With a variety of titles, there's bound to be one that suits everyone's taste. In just one day, the entire city of Hong Kong knew about the two film crews going head-to-head, and the topic of discussion grew increasingly heated.

The housewives reacted the most strongly. A group of grown men wanting to fight women on stage? How could this be? Isn't this bullying women? Looking at the photos, those strong men are all muscular and powerful, while the women look delicate and pitiful.

Outraged, the housewife saw the TV series "Martial Heroes" and immediately changed the channel to watch "Mu Guiying." Surprisingly, "Mu Guiying" was quite good, to her liking, with beautiful and aesthetically pleasing fight scenes, unlike those men who fought to the death, covered in blood – it was too gory.

As a result, the ratings for "Mu Guiying" surged tonight.

The showdown between "The Spirit of Martial Arts" and "Mu Guiying" became a major event in Hong Kong overnight.

Baozhu TV has been closely monitoring the news and has found that the arena battles have become a target of public criticism from many housewives, who see it as a case of men bullying women, and the negative image of "Martial Arts Heroes" is becoming increasingly worse.

When Po Chu TV saw that things were not going well, it communicated with Po Hong Kong TV overnight and said that the competition of "Mu Guiying" the next day must be performed by male actors. If the other side used female actors to compete, then the event would be canceled.

In any case, Baozhu TV would never agree to be associated with such a terrible negative impact as a man hitting a woman. Once its reputation is ruined, not only will "Shangwu Spirit" be canceled, but Baozhu TV's future television programs will also be rendered useless.

Lu Sheng had already received the list of applicants for tomorrow's match. Looking at each name and note on the list, he couldn't stop smiling. But he sounded hesitant and reluctant, and finally had to agree.
