Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

The prerequisite is that the higher-ups are willing to replace the previous program.

The program preceding "Mu Guiying" is a crucial prime-time program that has never been canceled or rescheduled. Replacing this program would require extensive communication and maneuvering.

Hu Xiaoxiao didn't have much time left. It was already afternoon, and there were only a few hours left until evening. There was simply no time to maneuver.

I'm even more worried that someone with ulterior motives might come and block my way while I'm going through the procedures.

Lu Sheng instantly understood Hu Xiaoxiao's meaning. He was also a decisive person, and after only a second of consideration, he made a decision. "Have the cameraman go back and edit the footage immediately."

Hu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. It was so comfortable working for a boss with such decisiveness. "What if Qiu Lihua or someone else refuses to change the program?"

Lu Sheng's words were meaningful: "I'm going to tell Ji Sheng the good news right now, and I think Ji Sheng is also very curious about how we helped him regain all his face."

A wise person understands immediately.

After Hu Xiaoxiao finished this important matter, she squeezed back onto the stage.

While others were being jostled so much they could barely stand, she could move about freely.

Then, Hu Xiaoxiao brought the cameraman and camera out and delivered them to the company car, telling the cameraman to hurry back to the company to edit the footage.

After finishing all that, Hu Xiaoxiao returned to the stage. At this point, Baozhutai didn't want to continue the competition, as it would be even more embarrassing to continue, so they simply packed up and left.

Seeing that the cameramen and reporters from Baozhu TV had also left, Hu Xiaoxiao knew that "Shangwu Spirit" had lost the competition, so Baozhu TV would definitely not broadcast the match. Therefore, this competition, jointly organized by the two television stations, became a sole victory for Baozhu TV.

This was originally a high-stakes gamble, a winner-takes-all game.

Seeing that the audience was still reluctant to leave, Hu Xiaoxiao went to discuss with the emcee and then did some interactive games with the audience, giving away the spears and helmets used by the Yang family generals.

After a flurry of activity, it was already 3 p.m. when the event ended.

Mingxu was the most exhausted of them all; all he wanted now was a big meal to replenish his energy. "Xiaoxiao, let's go eat chicken!"

"Shall we go to the place we usually eat at?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked.

"That's right, that one."

Hu Xiaoxiao decided to bring everyone along and treat them to a meal to celebrate today's victory.

The success of a TV series depends on the efforts of the entire team, and no one should be left out of the celebration. Hu Xiaoxiao even called Yao Wenlong to invite them to the gathering as well.

After the dinner, Hu Xiaoxiao even packed a portion for the cameraman who was rushing to edit the video.

Over there, after Lu Shengkang finished his call with Ji Sheng, he was beaming with pride. He immediately rushed to the TV station to schedule today's competition.

With Ji Sheng's approval, the program received the green light all the way. First, a program with low ratings in the evening was canceled, and then the later programs were moved up to make room for the competition.

Yesterday's publicity stunts by the two television stations made almost all Hong Kong citizens aware that the two production teams were representing their respective stations in a competition. Only a very small number of citizens were able to watch the event live; most were waiting for tomorrow's newspapers.

Just then, TVB announced that it would broadcast the competition that evening. Just as Hu Xiaoxiao had predicted, every citizen watching TV was curious about the details of the competition.

As a result, that night, the viewership of Baogang TV reached an astonishing level, with almost the entire nation watching the competition.

After the martial arts tournament, the next show to air was "Mu Guiying." Naturally, the audience continued to watch "Mu Guiying," and even those who hadn't planned to watch it before became curious to see what kind of TV series it was.

After watching it, I found that the production of "Mu Guiying" is more refined, the actors are more pleasing to the eye, and in addition to the fighting, there is also a warm family side, making it suitable for the whole family to watch.

As for "The Spirit of Martial Arts"? Viewers who enjoy watching its martial arts scenes felt that the fight scenes in "Mu Guiying" were equally good, even more so with their spectacular one-shot sequences, and their artistic beauty was something previously unseen in television dramas. However, the fact that "The Spirit of Martial Arts" lost the ring match dampened the enthusiasm of the audience, leading them to simply choose to ignore it.

Overnight, the ratings for "Mu Guiying" surpassed those for "Shangwu Jingshen". Upon seeing the data, the executives of Baozhu TV were furious and suspended the lead actor, Feng Zidong.

Just then, Feng Zidong's contract expired, so in order to make a living, he decided to go into the film industry.

This was an era of rising action stars. At that time, the two most popular genres in the film industry were action movies and comedies. Feng Zidong, by a stroke of luck, entered the industry early. Coupled with his martial arts skills, he caught the wave and within a few years, he was thriving in the film industry, making a fortune. Later, he met Hu Xiaoxiao and even treated her to a lavish meal.

Furthermore, the exquisite production of "Mu Guiying" and the widespread news coverage of the martial arts tournament reached even areas far from Baogang. As more and more people became curious and came to learn about "Mu Guiying," representatives from various regions began to come to Baogang to discuss the possibility of importing the TV series "Mu Guiying" with the Baogang TV station.

"Mu Guiying" not only became a hit in Baogang, but also in other regions, and the money earned made the directors of Baogang TV very happy.

Hu Xiaoxiao also took this opportunity to renegotiate the contract with the TV station, changing it to a more flexible one. For example, regarding the drama series, the mandatory 60 episodes per year was removed; if the company didn't have a script that satisfied her, she could choose not to film.

In other words, she gained true freedom.

Of course, before gaining his freedom, he also agreed to the company's suggestion to film a sequel to "Mu Guiying" - "Mu Guiying Takes Command".

At the TVB Anniversary Awards that year, Hu Xiaoxiao won her first Best Actress award.

Hu Xiaoxiao was filled with emotion upon receiving the award. She had originally planned not to participate this year, but unexpectedly, "Mu Guiying" was forced to be broadcast and finished early, which allowed her to catch up with the award. She became the first person in the history of Baogang TV to win the Best Actress award in the fastest time, and also the youngest Best Actress in the history of Baogang TV.

This year has been very fruitful, and the company held a grand celebration banquet, which was attended by Chairman Ji Sheng.

Hu Xiaoxiao, dressed in a black evening gown and holding a glass of red wine, toasted Ji Sheng as he passed by, saying, "Ji Sheng, you look good. You've been having a lucky streak lately."

When Ji Sheng saw Hu Xiaoxiao, he stopped and said with a smile, "Thank you, thank you. You seductive woman, you've been doing quite well lately."

"Entice" implies cunning or treacherous.

Ji Sheng was clearly giving Hu Xiaoxiao a hint, indicating that he already knew about her underhanded tactics and bullying of others at the club last time.

After being exposed, Hu Xiaoxiao didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she smiled openly and honestly, "Ji Sheng, just tell me, are you satisfied with this year's financial report?"
