Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Finally, the two television stations agreed that each station would send ten male actors to compete in tomorrow's contest. The actors must be from both of their respective production teams, and no outside help would be allowed.

After finalizing the competition plan, Baozhu TV immediately explained the rules to the audience on television, clarifying the rumors that this was a duel between men and had nothing to do with women.

On the other side of Baogang TV?

It's not a crisis for his TV station, there's nothing to clarify, just pretend nothing happened.

Being in a superior position allows you to be so willful.

After enduring so much frustration, Lu Sheng finally got his revenge.

The next day, the most bustling commercial square in Baogang was packed with citizens eager to see the spectacle early in the morning, so crowded that it was impossible to move.

A stage had already been set up in the square, much larger than the stage the production crew had used for promotional events. Reporters from both television stations were already waiting below the stage, and the production crews from both companies had also set up their cameras early, ready to film the competition and broadcast it to the audience who couldn't attend that evening.

Major media outlets also prepared their cameras and positioned themselves to try and capture the most exciting shots.

At this time, Hu Xiaoxiao was still at the TV station, meeting up with the cast of "Mu Guiying". Everyone had changed into their costumes. She already knew the new rules: both sides could only send male actors, and the competition could only last for a maximum of ten performances.

Hu Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed after hearing this. Did that mean she couldn't go on stage?

However, after looking at their lineup, Hu Xiaoxiao, like everyone else, was full of confidence.

“This time, Hu Xiaoxiao and Mingxu will lead the team.” Lu Sheng looked at the two main characters. Although Hu Xiaoxiao did not need to participate, she was the female lead of “Mu Guiying” and she was the one who took on the arena competition. Therefore, Lu Sheng planned to entrust Hu Xiaoxiao with the responsibility of the arena competition.

Lu Sheng said, "The opposing team is led by Feng Zidong, so you guys are in charge here. You decide the order of appearance as well. We'll cheer you on from backstage. Can you do it?"

“Nonsense, how can a man say he can’t?” Mingxu said confidently, turning to Hu Xiaoxiao and saying, “Just find a chair and sit down, and help us applaud.”

"Let's go!" Lu Sheng led the others, following behind the "Mu Guiying" film crew.

After getting into the company car, they immediately set off for the business district.

In the commercial district, the crew of "Shangwu Spirit" led by Baozhutai had all arrived.

Company executives were watching the competition from the audience. The person leading the team was none other than the male lead, Feng Zidong. He jumped onto the stage and found that only a few staff members from Baogang TV were making preparations. He asked, "Where's Hu Xiaoxiao? Where are the people from the 'Mu Guiying' crew?"

The staff member from Baogang TV glanced at his watch and said, "It starts at ten o'clock, and there's still plenty of time until then."

Feng Zidong joked, "It's good that you didn't run away at the last minute. I was worried that you were afraid of losing and didn't dare to go on stage."

He looked back at his group of men, each one of them robust and muscular. "The Spirit of Martial Arts" is a martial arts film, meant to convey the raw power of every punch, so the actors chosen for the film were either skilled in martial arts or physically strong.

Feng Zidong was full of confidence. It was just a drama about women, and he didn't believe they could field many capable men. He estimated that Mingxu was somewhat capable, and the actor who played Han Chang in the first episode was quite good, as was the actor who played Yang Yanzhao, a famous stuntman.

As for the others, since the series has only aired a few episodes, we don't know yet, but since it mainly focuses on women, there will definitely be more women than men.

Even if these three people win, there are still seven more matches to go. He doesn't believe that "Martial Spirit" can't win.

"Tch! Beating you up is child's play. Don't be so scared you'll be beating your mothers later!" The staff of Baogang TV certainly wouldn't show any fear in front of their rivals. They made their boasts first, since they wouldn't be going to play later anyway.

No matter how arrogant they talk, they won't be the ones getting beaten up, so let's just have some fun first.

Feng Zidong waited a while longer, and seeing that the "Mu Guiying" crew still hadn't arrived, he was wondering if they had really deserted at the last minute when he heard an audience member shout loudly: "They're here! They're here! The Yang family generals are coming!"

"Make way! Make way! Let the Yang family generals take the stage!"

With shouts, an aisle was cleared for the audience below the stage to allow the actors of the "Mu Guiying" troupe to enter.

Feng Zidong stood on the stage and immediately looked over. One glance was enough to exclaim in amazement: "Sharp! Imposing!"

(Sharp = Powerful)

The entire cast and crew of "Mu Guiying" were dressed in their costumes, including armor. They stood in two lines, each holding a long spear with a bright red tassel on the tip. They walked with their heads held high, chests out, and steady steps, exuding an imposing aura, as if they were going to war.

It not only exudes an imposing aura, but also a murderous intent, as if a group of generals who have fought their way out of the battlefield have arrived.

The cameras of both television stations immediately turned around, and all the reporters' cameras were pointed at the "Mu Guiying" production crew.

The two people walking at the front were Hu Xiaoxiao and Ming Xu, both dressed in their combat uniforms from the drama, looking very imposing.

Facing the gazes of numerous citizens and the lenses of countless media outlets, Hu Xiaoxiao, holding a long spear, strode out with the air of a general, attracting almost all the cameras and attention.

Mingxu is also good. He is tall and strong, and with his armor and upright appearance, he looks very imposing.

The two strode forward side by side, followed by Hu Xiaoxiao, with the female general behind her and Ming Xu behind him. Influenced by the imposing presence of their leaders, they too walked with a majestic and upright air.

The onlookers and media personnel were stunned, exclaiming how sharp it was!

Feng Zidong glanced at the imposing costumes and impressive entrance of the "Mu Guiying" production team, then looked at their costumes—

Today's competition is for the purpose of promoting the TV series, so all the actors of "The Spirit of Martial Arts" have changed into their costumes.

The problem lies in the costumes. Due to the historical context and character settings, their costumes are all jackets. Furthermore, because many characters in the drama come from impoverished backgrounds, such as the protagonist Feng Zidong, their costumes are deliberately made to look old and worn.

Without comparison, things would have been better; but once compared, the demeanor of the enemy's generals made them look like beggars...

"Martial Spirit" is not spirit at all.

Amidst the anticipation of the crowd, the cast and crew of "Mu Guiying" took to the stage. Hu Xiaoxiao took the microphone from her staff and addressed the audience: "Thank you all for coming to watch today's competition. You've all worked hard! Now, please welcome our TV station's top host, Song Yan'an, to the stage to sing a theme song with me for all of you hardworking citizens."

Feng Zidong sensed something was wrong and immediately said, "What are you singing? It's time to start fighting."

Hu Xiaoxiao said, "What's the rush? Can't you see how long everyone's been waiting? Let me sing a song to help everyone relax."

"I know everyone's been waiting anxiously, why didn't you come sooner?"

Hu Xiaoxiao pointed to her watch and said, "There are still five minutes until ten o'clock. We've arrived early, so after singing a song, we'll start right away."

In short: seize every opportunity to promote "Mu Guiying".
