Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Chapter 160 They've Gotten Their Own Hole

The theme song of "Mu Guiying" has a beautiful melody and is loved by the citizens. Of course, people are willing to listen to a song, especially one sung by two big stars.

As for whether Feng Zidong was willing or not? Hu Xiaoxiao didn't care. She gave the staff a wink, and they immediately turned on the sound system.

Song Yan'an came here today to show his support, standing beside Lu Sheng and other high-ranking officials. When he heard the music start, he went up to the stage, took the microphone, and greeted the audience.

As a leading man on Hong Kong TVB, Song Yan-an has starred in many popular and classic dramas, boasting a large and loyal audience. Upon seeing Song Yan-an, citizens excitedly shout his name.

The executives of Po Chu TV in the audience turned pale when they saw this scene: When did Po Chu TV become so cunning, with one trick after another?

Baozhu TV General Manager Cheng Sheng walked over to Baogang TV Deputy General Manager Lu Sheng, who was standing not far away, and asked, "Where is your General Manager Qiu? Such a big event, why doesn't he come to take a look? Is he too shy?"

Cheng Sheng had already heard about Qiu Lihua's disastrous blunder of "Fan Lihua" and deliberately revealed it to see her make a fool of herself.

As if unaware of Cheng Sheng's meaning, Lu Sheng smiled and said, "The company is so big, there are too many things to manage. My presence is enough for this small event like the arena competition. Our CEO Qiu stays at the company to oversee things; he has more important matters to attend to, unlike Cheng Sheng who is so leisurely, idle, and has time to watch the excitement."

Regardless of how things are within the company, in front of outsiders, we must be on the same side.

Cheng Sheng smiled and said, "Your CEO Qiu is indeed very hardworking. He has to manage everything and meddle in everything. Unlike me, I'm relatively lazy. I have many talented people under me, so I simply trust them and leave all the professional work to the professionals. This way, I can relax and the company won't suffer any losses."

At this moment, Hu Xiaoxiao and Song Yan'an on stage began singing the theme song of "Mu Guiying". This song is difficult, fast-paced, and requires a lot of skills in the transition between high and low notes, which is a great test of the singer's singing ability.

Hu Xiaoxiao's performance was excellent; she was not affected by the ordinary sound system.

After listening to the performance, the citizens below said to their friends, "I didn't expect Hu Xiaoxiao to sing so well. If she releases an album in the future, I will definitely buy one."

"This theme song is great, it's very nice to listen to. I have to say, the music in the TV series 'Mu Guiying' is top-notch. My kids love listening to it, and they always tune in to Hong Kong TV to watch 'Mu Guiying' whenever it's time."

A choral performance reminded the audience of the plot of the TV series "Mu Guiying," sparking discussions about the currently airing episodes and piquing the interest of other viewers who hadn't seen "Mu Guiying"...

On stage, seeing the great promotional effect of Hu Xiaoxiao's duet, Feng Zidong decided to quit.

He wants to sing too! It's not like only people from Hong Kong and Taiwan can sing, he can too!

But when they looked back, they realized they hadn't brought any accompaniment tapes.

At this point, even without a tape, we'll still sing; we absolutely won't let our rivals dominate us.

After discussing with the cast and crew for a few minutes, Feng Zidong had them all stand up and line up in formation.

Feng Zidong took the microphone and said loudly to the audience, "Next, it's our turn to sing the theme song for 'The Spirit of Martial Arts' and perform a martial arts routine! Let's give them a round of applause!"

The audience immediately gave them a warm round of applause.

Amid applause, the actors of "Martial Spirit" performed boxing while singing the theme song.

Hu Xiaoxiao listened and watched, and to be honest, she seemed quite energetic.

After the singing, two emcees, one from Baogang TV and one from Baozhu TV, came on stage to host the event.

"Now, please welcome the cast and crew from both productions to appear before the audience—"

At the emcee's announcement, the actors from both production teams walked onto the stage and stood on opposite sides.

As rivals, they sized each other up.

Upon closer inspection, the actors of the "Martial Spirit" production team immediately sensed something was wrong.

Feng Zidong used to be a stuntman. Looking at the other crew of actors, he felt they looked more and more familiar.

His fellow actor, Li Kai, nudged him with his elbow and said, "I didn't know it was presbyopia, but I think I saw my senior martial arts master."

“You’re only 21 years old this year, you’re so old and have such bad eyesight!” Feng Zidong carefully identified a group of actors wearing helmets. “You’re not mistaken, the third to last one is your senior apprentice, Cao Yuanxiang.”

They were all wearing helmets earlier, and Feng Zidong's attention was on Hu Xiaoxiao and Mingxu, so he didn't take a closer look. Now that he looked closely, he realized that they were all martial arts practitioners, and all of them were well-known veterans in the martial arts world!

Looking at their lineup, only a few of them came from martial arts backgrounds, and they were all young. The rest were people who looked big and strong, but in reality, they had no martial arts skills.

Feng Zidong's forehead began to be covered in cold sweat.

"My martial uncle hasn't acted in years, how could he possibly be filming 'Mu Guiying'?" Li Kai immediately shouted, "They hired outside help! They've broken the rules!"

Feng Zidong, as if grasping at a straw, also shouted "Foul!" and the actors behind him joined in the jeering.

"You damned bastard!" Fang Qide, who played Yang Yanzhao, stepped forward and started cursing at the group of people. "You bunch of scoundrels, you always yell 'foul' when you can't win! You've completely disgraced the stunt industry!"

"You dared to challenge someone without even asking around! Even if I break your legs today, you deserve it! Feng Zidong, you loser, you're the loudest one yelling! Go ahead and yell again if you dare! Let's see if my fist is bigger, or your voice is louder!"

Feng Zidong didn't dare to shout; he was as cowardly as a quail.

Because on the other side, there were many senior figures, martial arts veterans...

He was on the verge of tears. Who could tell him why a drama about women would hire so many veteran stuntmen to act?

No wonder the fight scenes in "Mu Guiying" are so good; there are so many martial arts professionals involved.

The martial arts director, Nie Jinlong, witnessed this scene but remained silent with a smile. This groundbreaking new style of martial arts drama, filmed to cinematic standards, meant that many of the moves were simply impossible for non-professional martial artists to execute.

For this drama, Nie Jinlong practically used all the connections he had made throughout his life, inviting everyone he could from the entire stunt department.

These young lads from "Shangwu Spirit" are so arrogant and ignorant; they've stumbled upon the heart of the martial arts world.

That said, "Mu Guiying" has only aired a few episodes, many actors haven't even appeared yet, and not many exciting action scenes have been shown. The cast list only lists the main actors and doesn't include the names of the stunt performers. Isn't that a tragedy?

Feng Zidong and the others looked ashen-faced, hesitating whether to fight or simply admit defeat.

At this moment, Mingxu stepped forward and said, "We're being kind, so we won't bully you. Today's contestants are all young guys from our generation, so you're being lenient."

"You keep your word?" Feng Zidong saw hope again and quickly asked.

“Of course it counts!” Mingxu said, and with a wave of his hand, nine young men behind him stepped forward and stood in a row with Mingxu, facing the audience.

Then, they took off their helmets together, threw them behind them, grabbed their costumes, and tore them apart, revealing their muscular physiques.
