Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Hu Xiaoxiao also whispered to Zhu Wanwen, "Choose the belly part of the roast pig, it's the thinnest and most tender there, the skin is fragrant and crispy, and the meat is smooth and tender, it's delicious."

Zhu Wanwen hadn't originally been so interested in it, but after Hu Xiaoxiao mentioned it, she suddenly really wanted to eat it.

The others were either trying to build a good relationship with the two lead actors or being reserved and mindful of their image in front of the media, each busy with their own things. Only Hu Xiaoxiao and Zhu Wanwen were staring at the roast pig.

When Lu Shengkang was dividing the pork, he saw Hu Xiaoxiao's greedy eyes and was speechless. "You earn so much money, do you really need this little bit of food?"

"Which piece do you want?" When Lu Shengkang was dividing the pieces for Hu Xiaoxiao, he simply let the gluttonous Hu Xiaoxiao choose for herself.

Hu Xiaoxiao, of course, didn't stand on ceremony. Not only did she pick the best one for herself, but she also picked a good one for Zhu Wanwen.

After the entire ceremony was completed, Lu Shengkang began to accept interviews from the media. He said a few polite words, then handed over the remaining work to the director and left.

Qi Weiming is a rather serious person, speaking in a very formal and methodical manner. After a few sentences, the entertainment reporters lost interest, leaving only a few reporters from major newspapers to conduct the interviews.

Entertainment reporters are here today to dig up entertainment news, and the top male star Song Yan'an and top female star Jiang Yu are the most entertaining.

The reporter asked, "Brother An and Sister Yu, you haven't worked together for five or six years. How come you're suddenly collaborating again? Can you tell us the reason?"

Jiang Yu was used to facing reporters and smiled, "Because the script is good. The reason why Yan An and I haven't worked together for many years is firstly because Yan An and I are both veterans of the TV station, and we need to give more opportunities to young people. In addition, after serving the TV station for so many years, we need to take a break. Secondly, there wasn't a suitable script for us. This script was specially made for the station's anniversary celebration. The script is very, very well written, and the character settings are also suitable for us. When we received the script, we were really excited."

The reporter then asked, "The two of you were once the golden couple of the TV station, and you've played lovers several times. Are you still a couple this time?"

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "The Bund is a grand production with a large-scale narrative. The theme is national hatred and family feuds, and there will be less focus on personal relationships. I play a widow in the drama, a widow from a traditional large family and a wealthy household, who is also the matriarch. You will find out the specifics when you watch the drama."

The reporter then asked Song Yan'an, "Sister Yu plays a widow, what about Brother An? Is Brother An's character a widower?"

Faced with the reporter's sharp questions, Song Yan'an was unfazed and said, "In the play, I am not a widower, but a golden bachelor who has delayed his marriage for the sake of the country and the people. The love scenes are only a small part. The main story is about how to portray the story of an ordinary person who has a responsibility to the country when it is in trouble, and how to fight against the Japanese invaders in the complex situation of old Shanghai."

The reporter wasn't interested in anything else, but as soon as they heard there was a romantic scene, they immediately reacted like a cat smelling fish, asking, "Who is the actor who has a romantic scene with Brother An? Are you two compatible?"

Entertainment reporters love to write about love and romance. Although it's gossipy, it has to be said that it's very effective for publicity.

If you have interesting stories to write for reporters, they will be more willing to help you promote them.

Upon hearing the reporter's question, Hu Xiaoxiao, without waiting for Song Yan'an's reply, immediately walked over and stood beside him, demonstrating her adeptness at handling situations. "I'm the actor who has romantic scenes with Brother An. Brother An and I sang the theme song for Mu Guiying together before. We're incredibly compatible, and we're sure to do a great job in this drama."

As soon as the entertainment reporters saw that there was a story to write, they all swarmed over like they'd been injected with adrenaline, and reporters who were originally interviewing other people also rushed over.

Although there aren't many gossip stories about Hu Xiaoxiao, each one that comes out generates good sales.

When Song Yan'an saw that the reporters had arrived, he naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to promote "The Bund". He and Hu Xiaoxiao accepted the interview with the reporters to satisfy their gossip.

The other celebrities could only watch helplessly as Hu Xiaoxiao attracted all the reporters' attention. They were powerless to do anything; they didn't have any juicy stories that reporters wanted to ask or report on.

After the reporters finished their interviews with Hu Xiaoxiao, they took several photos of Hu Xiaoxiao and Song Yan'an together.

"Why don't we have the cast and crew take a picture together?" a reporter suggested, adding that the photo would be published in the newspaper.

Everyone was eager to take advantage of this great publicity opportunity and immediately came to stand in their positions.

The top two stars, needless to say, stand in the very center, C position. But everyone else has to be placed next to them in order of their status.

Xia Lu saw Hu Xiaoxiao standing naturally next to Song Yan'an, chatting and laughing with reporters, occupying the best spot after the main character. Xia Lu narrowed her eyes slightly, then walked towards Song Yan'an with a smile, subtly squeezing next to him while talking.

"Brother An, we're working together again. I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration this time as well," Xia Lu said with a smile, extending her hand to Song Yan'an.

Song Yan'an shook hands with Xia Lu and said, "It's been a pleasure working with you. Welcome back."

Hu Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Xia Lu, who was squeezed next to her, and then looked at the reporter who was about to take a picture: even taking pictures requires fighting for a spot?

Since it's a robbery, she certainly won't give in.

Hu Xiaoxiao took a step forward, using the excuse of talking to Jiang Yu to get closer to Song Yan'an. She was taller than Xia Lu, and this step effectively shielded Xia Lu behind her. "Sister Yu, do you want to go eat together after this is over?"

Jiang Yu said, "You and Wanwen go ahead. We're filming tomorrow, and I need to study the script a bit more."

"Then after filming is finished, I'll invite Sister Yu and Brother An to dinner."

"I can't let a junior like you spend money. I'll treat you to a meal later."

Xia Lu stared ahead—at Hu Xiaoxiao's back, listening to Hu Xiaoxiao and Sister Yu chatting back and forth, while she was completely blocked from seeing them.

Seeing that the reporter had taken a position to take pictures, Xia Lu deliberately bumped forward, trying to knock Hu Xiaoxiao aside.

To everyone's surprise, Hu Xiaoxiao didn't budge an inch.

Xia Lu, refusing to believe it, tried again to shove Hu Xiaoxiao away. Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaoxiao suddenly moved, colliding with the force of Xia Lu's charge—

It was like tofu hitting a wall; Xia Lu couldn't stop herself and stumbled backward, almost falling over.

Xia Lu couldn't understand how Hu Xiaoxiao, a woman, could be so strong. Seeing that she couldn't get a spot, she could only move to the other side of Hu Xiaoxiao.

Seeing this out of the corner of her eye, You Na quickly stepped forward, took Hu Xiaoxiao's arm, and flashed a bright smile at the camera, making a V-sign.

The other artists quickly took their positions, but Xia Lu couldn't get a spot and almost missed the group photo. In the end, she could only stand on the very edge. She was furious inside, but on her face, she flashed a standard eight-tooth smile at the camera.

Hu Xiaoxiao! You just wait!

Xia Lu gritted her teeth secretly.
